Outsourced – our death if we aren’t careful

Have you been pressured to outsource your Christian life? Don’t let it happen.
Dispose of church
Published on Dec 13, 2014
I advocate you get out of it all for your own spiritual safety, if you are still in it all.
Sick of all this ‘racist’ talk?
You may not like this viewpoint ; but Justin does make some valid points, to dare and consider… See what you think.

“Group Church Think”
It is a popular, but misconceived concept created from 1900 years of anti-Christ’s, that “God loves everyone” the same. This is simply not true.
God loves his elect; that is, those he is willing to start a work in, towards salvation; creating that individual in the image of his son, Jesus Christ, the only perfect and acceptable means to God, the Father.
Jesus taught his disciples that all that the Father gives to him, will come. He also said on many an occasion “that it is not for their ears to hear”, but to you it is given for understanding (paraphrased).
He is not willing that any should perish in sin, yet that is also in the contexts of whom God the Father wills, and instills his grace upon.
The scripture also says that God takes no joy in the destruction of the wicked, yet he will one day destroy all those not found in the lamb’s book of life.
The problem is that “men want to play God”, in acting “independent of actually following Christ”, by the Holy Spirit. Who is Jesus Christ; the only way to the Father NOW; as we live and breathe. Independence and Rebellion are the two legs, which sin stands upon. So, we who have started with him in salvation, must crucify the old man into his image; that is to allow God to do the work of crucifying our flesh, into the image of his name’s sake. The WICKED, have never started with HIM; and will not. Yet, the LOST will at some time, start with Christ in their lives; but will they finish with him, is the monumental question…
This is why the Apostle Paul continually wrote corrective letters to the different churches, (Galatians, Laodiceans, and so fourth) and why he “beat his flesh” (denied his carnality) that he “might” enter in with Christ NOW, being made conformable to his image.
We must be found IN HIM when we stand before him, and that dear friend is a spiritual condition, and not someone’s favorite doctrinal position; as you may, or may not have been taught, by natural means.
Luke 8 depicts the different types of ground, which people who “start with Christ” are likely to take. It is only the good ground, which produces good fruit, in the form of spiritual maturity; as they have chosen to abide in the vine (Christ in Spirit, not just an intellectual position), so not to be cut off and burnt ultimately.
This is NOT about self-righteous behavioral modifications; you know the routine – “I don’t cuss, I don’t drink, and I don’t smoke”… As it is a work Christ does in us alone, by grace, to those who actually have a heart towards him! Church righteousness, (those who are not dependent on Christ himself) and will normally follow the afore mentioned behavioral modifications; as they will NOT follow the Holy Spirit, in being made to conform to his image – again “Christ’s image”, is what is being spoken about here. This is why the Apostle Paul called them “enemies of the cross”; not because they were some pagan sect outside the camp of believers, but because most simply refused to turn their flesh over for execution, via the Holy Spirit, the only way to spiritual life. The natural man cannot, (emphatic) make himself into the image of Christ, independent of the Holy Spirit!
Another aspect of the modern day church is false brethren, this is epidemic today, especially since most have been taught “the proper words and phrases to utter” out of the scriptural texts! This is why a fellowship of actual beleivers must have elders of spiritual discernment and maturity, otherwise the fellowship will become overun by Satan’s people.
Think about it – most in western cultures have been trained to some degree, in Bible teachings, yet this does not give a man or woman, the chance to become, a son or daughter of God!
Yet, all SAINTS (who have actually started in Christ) have this treasure in earthen vessels, and we slip, fall, and battle with our flesh and with our sin nature (old natures). Yet, He (Christ) is faithful to forgive us, if it is with a heartfelt repentance, we return to him for mercy.
Remember, you cannot fool God, who has a window into our hearts. Yet most (the elect) the Bible tells us, will not allow themselves to suffer what Oswald Chamber’s called the white funeral. (Being crucified with Christ) and most will take what Jesus Called the broad road; which the further traveled down, the more one is likely to shrivel up and die; as they are not partaking in the vine, who is Christ himself, the only hope of salvation. This of course, ultimately leads to destruction.
Even worse, is whom the Apostle John first coined as anti- Christ’s; the ones who started with us, but departed from us. These type of broad roaders, think they can enter into Christ; not being made comfortable to his image. These are the RELIGIOUSE TYPES, normally well read, well spoken; and deceivers of the weaker brethren, (babes) by being deceived, of a different spirit; the spirit of error! Today, most often the local “Church Pastor” with a head full of Bible doctrine, fits this description. It is not some evil raving maniac, possessed by the devil, which most have been taught to believe!
Think about that too; would an establishment institution go and label themselves as anti -Christ? Of course they wouldn’t, that would be self defeating, and destructive to the attendance roster!
You see, one’s salvation is totally dependent, and “hangs on” (so to speak) their dependent relationship with Jesus Christ alone!
Will they shrivel up and die, and ultimately be burnt? Or will they remain with him, in Spirit and in Truth; having a love for the truth that they “might be saved”, in the end is the ultimate question. This is why it is written, that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is the only unforgivable sin! As Holy Spirit, is your spiritual connection with Jesus Christ himself! Paul said he must run the good race, fight the good fight, lest he be a castaway, or in not finishing – be condemned!
Woe; you say, who the great Paul..? Yes, precisely so, and we who know him (in spirit – and not mere intellect or soul) must keep pushing into the kingdom of God, which is within us Jesus Taught; and not some “frock in the box”, or even a “village minister” that is of the spirit of, (anti-Christ).
You may be shocked, that I have written this today; but allow me to assure you, I was much more shocked, when I realized most who claim Christ’s name, really have nothing to do with him, only their particular brand of systematic theologies!
Jesus is NOT for everyone, (shock and awl) – but the world church systems would starve, if they didn’t do such religious promotions; for the last 1900 years! Satan is the slickest of all bastards, and he created these institutions to confuse and ultimately destroy the actual brethren! The world, and world church systems are much more brutal and diverse, than I would have ever imagined as a young Christian; so I struggle to write these truths, for those who have an ear to hear.
Oh, and By the way, a real Elder, of spiritual maturity and understanding: (good ground, with mature fruit) is extremely rare today; (not just Bible scholars, but rather Elders in the Lord) so please don’t think what I have written is unbiblical in the least!
May our Lord bless your understanding of these things.

Frightening to see… (link)
December 11, 2014 church, evangelical, False religion, ordination, pagan,sanctification from the world
We all know that of those who ostensibly begin with God only a few find and enter the strait gate and take the narrow way. The vast majority fail to enter the kingdom of God before they die and get destroyed in the end.
Those ones are the ones I feel really sorry for, and I wanted to post the stories of a couple of that sort who I know, and who I have occasional news of.
The first one is ‘John’, not his real name.
John I met when he was associated with a fellowship I have had a lot of contact with many years ago. He struck me as being slightly odd, but I was a young Christian then and did not know about fakes/antichrists etc.. He disappeared from that fellowship, and the next thing I hear is that he has gone to Bible college and is going to be a Baptist pastor.
I was stunned by this. How on earth could someone be among those with genuine experience of God, and have seen the real thing only go off and play sermon sandwich on Sunday?! I found him on the internet, with the prefix ‘Rev’, running a Baptist church up North. There were photos of him presenting something to Number 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s official residence, with two others, all of them in clergy frocks.
The next thing I see is that he has taken up an interest in seriously big motorcycles, and is dressed like a Hell’s Angel, complete with leathers, beard, chains etc. Now I see that he is promoting ‘heavy metal rock bands’, like Iron Maiden and AC/DC.
A more obvious fake one could not hope to meet, but he is still playing Baptist pastor when his heart is plainly with some of the worst elements of society, and not with God.
I see also, in one of his articles online, that he is talking like a pagan Catholic, saying that we cannot live up to the standards of Almighty God, His Law is too high and we are just to stumble along in sin, being sinful and wicked followers of Jesus. Of course, no such thing exists. The problem is not that God’s standards are too high for His people and He has given His people and impossible standard to live by. The problem is simply that he is not born again, not a child of God. He does not have the new nature, and that is why he loves the wicked things of the world. Quite astonishing that he would carry on in such hypocrisy, but church people do, sadly.
The second man I wanted to mention is ‘Fred’, again, not his real name.
We saw Fred again the other day, and he is now quite an old man and frail too. However, he is still an elder at a fellowship where the Lord moved in power about 55 years ago, but which died about 25 – 30 years ago.
Fred is a lovely man and a pleasure to be with. He is exasperated with much of what is going on in the fellowship and would like to see an end to a lot of nonsense, but like so many who were there when a fellowship begins in power they will not leave when apostasy sets it. They love to keep the flag flying, as the name of the chuuurrccchhh has become more important than the Name of the Lord.
I felt that we have moved on and left him behind, when we saw him the other day. He is still trying to have hope that the Lord is still there and moving among them. He and His wife do not know that if a people leave the Lord for chuuurrrccchh or something else He will leave them.
Whether Fred’s name still appears in the Book of Life I don’t know, but when he and the odd other person who had something real once dies there will be no first generation people with experience of God there.
This sort of thing fills me with horror, as we all know what happens to the ones who, for whatever reason, are not found written in the Book of Life.
I have seen so many who began with God in genuine initial conversion go wrong, take the wide gate and broad road, and die, spiritually. They had the chance of life, and have refused the way of the Cross.
The other day Fred told me that they had got over their difficulties at the fellowship following the ‘pastor’ going off in adultery with the church secretary, conducting an affair for eight or nine years before being discovered whilst, at the same time, pretending to preach the gospel and walk with God. He said that people were coming to the chuuurrrccchh again, and that included not just Christians, but unsaved too. He thought that was great as perhaps they would get saved. The rationale being that there was no evangelism going on anywhere and this was a good thing, a good alternative.
It seems that when people go the wrong way they are blinded and utter horrors are held to be good, and acceptable.
There is no point trying to straighten people out if they have done this sort of thing, they would not have gone that way if their hearts were not in a condition to accept it all. I still feel shocked and saddened by it though, and have no choice but to leave them behind and move on.

Why church kills you…
Published on Dec 8, 2014
Ever wondered how on earth it is that you can go to ‘chuuurrrccchhh’ and do it avidly only to lose that new life you were given? The Lord confirmed to me the reason why.
Praise God, we who are given light can see these things! Most will not see them, neither do they wish too. Well said as always brother!
Understanding who you are
Published on Dec 8, 2014
This is so important
The Lord showed me in a devotional, the night before getting hired as a deck hand aboard the Lightship Chesapeake; “we are to be Vessels of Light for Christ”; thus the name of this Lightship Ministries.
This IS my experience as well; those without HIM cannot understand this, as they have not received this grace, Spiritual enlightenment to their natural minds. Studying the Bible is fine, but it WILL NOT make you a child of God, as it is ONLY GOD, the Father who chooses and adopts into his family. Systematic theologies, make NO difference using natural teachings to bring others to Christ… Sorry, it just won’t happen, and is moving independently from God, at least in ignorance; if not downright rebellion!
Be careful you actual disciples and followers of Christ, Satan has set up a close counterfeit to the truth – and most cannot, or even “will not see”,
IF – they have actually started with the Lord.
This is why Jesus told his disciples to enter in the narrow way (spiritually), which leads to spiritual life “now”. Instead of the broad road, to fit in comfortably with the world (for those who have started their walk “IN” him), but ultimately move farther, and farther away from Christ, who IS their only chance at salvation; which we must all be “found in,” when we meet our maker.
“Satan is a 24 K Bastard”, as a brother has said privately to me… And the false Church or Ecclesia is a major weapon in his arsenal, meant to destroy the actual follower!
We must all fight the good fight, and run the good race set before us, should we wish to enter into the kingdom of heaven NOW. This is why it is written; if the righteous scarcely be saved, where should the lost (those called and chosen who fail to walk with the Lord), and sinners (the wicked, whom God has not drawn to himself) appear?
This is a rhetorical question, of course; the answer being “outside of Christ” and later, judged and burnt. This is not a make you feel good, and comfortable in the world teaching – but rather is the hard and serious truth of God, only found by abiding in Christ, Jesus and one with the Father NOW. After our bodies pack up; all hope is lost in ever being able to come to Christ! Most will hate the truth of God, as I have attempted to express here – but only a small remnant shall enter the kingdom of heaven the scripture teaches; and this is precisely why.

as a time when professing Christians would,
‘turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.'”
–Myths in the Church 1
And the single greatest myth promoted in the church today is this:
The delusion that the conditional promises
of God are available without condition.
of God are available without condition.
Myth #1: Turn on the television to any number of mega-church pastors and you’ll hear them tell you that “God is gonna work all things together for good in your life.” It’s a lie from the pit of hell, but it sure “tickles the ears” of the millions of professing Christians who have “accumulated teachers in accordance with their own desires” (see 2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Truth #1: God does NOT work all things together for good for everybody! What the Bible actually teaches is:
Truth #1: God does NOT work all things together for good for everybody! What the Bible actually teaches is:
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good
to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
–Romans 8:28, bold mine
to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
–Romans 8:28, bold mine
The only group of people on the earth today who God is “working all things together for good” for are those who are fulfilling the conditions of:
a) loving God* and,
b) living according His will (purpose) rather than their own.
So when a preacher declares to the multitudes who are going their own way and doing their own thing that “God’s gonna work everything together for good” in their lives, two things are undoubtedly true:
*Jesus defined “love” as keeping His commandments (see John 14:15, 21; 2 John 6).

Church hates family

This is a painful truth and we need to know it.
Yes indeed dear brother, we are sons of God, who are “born of the spirit of God”, and not servants!
Yet like the Egyptians, Church people wish to enslave the children of God, as they only follow a different spirit, (which is the spirit of anti-Christ). These broad road and nominal Christians, are enemies of the cross; not so much in words, but rather in deeds!

a similar time in Israel when outwardly the nation was experiencing

and spiritual adultery permeated the people and the priests:‘Listen to the word of the Lord…

Indeed, the multitudes love it when preachers and church leaders customize their Christianity. Roughly two thousand years ago God warned us about this very thing:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for
themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”

What role does the word of God play in your life, oh professing Christian?
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.”
–Colossians 3:14
–Colossians 3:14
Does it? Does the word of Christ “richly dwell within you?” How so? Could you name the 6th book of the Bible? Could you find the book of Philemon without a table of contents? How many verses do you have memorized? 3? 30? 300?
“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night…”
–Joshua 1:8
but you shall meditate on it day and night…”
–Joshua 1:8
Does this describe your lifestyle, oh professing Christian? Is the word of God on the “tip of your tongue?” Is it consistently in your thoughts throughout the day? Are you, “always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you?” (1 Peter 3:15).

Darned right Joe, Dr. Michael Savage speaks about this – the biggest “prize” would be passing a mass amnesty, which would fundamentally destroy whats left of this republic. The administration and the media don’t want people to focus on this fact, so they create diversions… All these big problems, are designed to pull down our society, so it can’t recover. But to a progressive commie; the end justifies the means! Personally speaking, 2 Thes 2 is well underway; and I won’t loose focus on that. Thanks for the article, keep up the good work!
I want to ask you to think back over the past few years. Try to remember how many times you have seen organized violence employed on a massive scale. I am going to ask you to reject the media’s claim that it has been ‘spontaneous.’ It hasn’t. It is well known that it was all planned: from Occupy Wall Street to the Arab Spring. All of it was ‘organized’ by violent revolutionaries, and the violence is used as part of their formula for toppling governments. This is because the model works. It was how Russia fell to Lenin, and how Hitler tried to take over Germany — the first time. The idea is, if you can create enough hatred within society, then cause it to just break out into social unrest, then others will ‘stand up’ and the existing government can be brought down.

Mixing up a love for the world, and a love for God!
“God always forgives, but the Earth does not,” Says the Argentine Pope Francis…
Is this a window into Revelation 11:13 – And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb – and he spoke as a dragon…
DOOMSDAY POPE FRANCIS WARNS THE EARTH WILL NOT FORGIVE US.(link)
#PopeFrancis
http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=28412
“God always forgives, but the earth does not,” the Argentine pope told the Second International Conference on Nutrition (CIN2) in Rome, a three-day meeting aimed at tackling malnutrition, a global scourge which afflicts poor and rich alike.
In a very strange message, Pope Francis warned that the Earth “would not forgive us” and would “respond with destruction” to man’s greed. Looks like Francis has become a New Age Universalist, steeped in Babylonian eccumentalism, pluralism, and multiculturalism, “in mixing it all together” (like the feet of Iron and clay, found in Daniel) – which will be destroyed; when the Lord returns for judgment….
Will he be the man who announces (reveals) the “man of sin” to the world, the great whore church, and her daughters? PROBABLY SO, and even according to Roman Catholicism’s legend, this Pope is said to be the last Pope on earth!
Rev. 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb – and he spoke as a dragon…
Two horns “like a lamb” is a big, big, clue; to be worshiped as GOD – but speaks like a dragon…
I think it is interesting that this Pope charges humanity with; the earth not forgiving : this appears to me like “Satan will soon be revealed”, and worshiped as God. That wicked, the son of perdition playing God – who shows many signs and lying wonder: looks to be transpiring – even as we speak! “Who sits upon the beast (church systems): having 7 heads, 7 mountains, 7 hills of ROME; 7 kings, having 7 types of governments..?
*Of course you can only understand this, if given revelation by the Holy Spirit – and not just Bible academia from the natural mind, which receives not the things of God.*
What type of ground are you?
Luke 8:4-15 Many different doctrines have been written concerning these passages of scripture, but what is the truth – that you might be saved?
Explaining away the revelations of God is Satan’s favorite pastime. It is intellectual and carnal, and is independent of the Holy Spirit, which is sin; and done by enemies of the cross!
This is why Jesus said it has been given unto you (spiritually) to understand, whereas others will not… And this “is engineered” purposely by God, in protecting his flock!
The “others” are those which do not have enlightenment spiritually to this passage; as either they have never seen Him or known him; or the particular heart of the one who would “add or take away from this text” has a heart which is anything but good ground, and is labeled as an anti-Christ by the Apostle John, who coined the phrase!
My point is that, many, many men in carnality use the scriptures to “bring men into themselves”, but they will not yield to the Holy Spirit of truth, who is Jesus Christ himself; as they have not a love for the truth, that they might be saved!
The “Church system” of today is infected by such men, who build institutions to teach their particular brand of heresies. Jesus Christ never intended this for HIS people, and the apostles “corrective” letters to the early brethren reflect this trend of moving independently of the Holy Spirit; who is Jesus Christ, the only truth of God, who is the ONLY mediator (spiritually) which a disciple must abide in, or be cut off and burnt! This pure truth of God, if you will, has been lost in many a sea of error, and natural understanding. Yet it can still be tapped into by those who love the Lord, who IS the only truth of God that the lost sheep, might be found!
Carnal denominationalism, attempts to explain away naturally – what I have written in the spirit – to make the truth of God, (only found by abiding in Christ, Jesus) more palatable to those, which would take the broad road; (which leads to spiritual death). And to the nominal, or “self righteous religious – Christian” who was never even elect of God to begin with! These two types of brethren, enjoy each other’s company, and “fellowship together” as they are both moving independently from the Lord in carnality; as they are both either spiritually dead, or dying!
The Bible is written to the actual Ecclesia, or elect of God – in particularly, the one who manifests that they are good ground, which Jesus spoke of; and NOT the others types of ground, who will embrace the “spirit” of error, which will deceive many!
Satan knows this principle full well, and continues to mobilize, and when he can, deploy his troops in amongst the sheep, to deceive and destroy their spiritual walk! Most commonly using the natural mind or (intellect) in understanding the scriptures, independent of God. They then often go and build institutions or temples to the Lord, just like Peter recommended to Jesus; prior to the day of Pentecost!
Luke 8:4-15 *ESV
The Parable of the Sower
4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
The Purpose of the Parables
9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others, they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ *(the Gospel is not intended for everyone) 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. *(Which is not the Bible; but rather the Holy Spirit) 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. * (Babes in Christ) 15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. *(The Narrow Way, which leads to life).
Attempts to explain this away from different viewpoints, independent of the Holy Spirit is described in, (unsound doctrine) *2 Timothy 4:3 – but rather is heresy, and of the spirit of error, which is anti-Christ, and no matter how exacting, (naturally) and to the letter it might be taught, if independent of the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus is describing precisely what he intends to teach, which does not allow for interpretations, as found in Armenian, Calvinist, Universalists, or any other man orchestrated doctrines.
The truth of God, only found by abiding in Christ, is the spirit and in truth; that we might be saved. If you are moving independently of the Holy Spirit, you are in fact moving away from Christ, who is your only salvation unto spiritual life, (now) and into eternity!

Defining Marriage – Defending DOMA
Published on Dec 7, 2012
Marriage is our most important and timeless social institution. Marriage is a personal promise between a husband and wife that accomplishes a unique and special public purpose — providing children with a secure social and legal attachment to both their mother and father (while also binding together the mother and father themselves). Redefining marriage fundamentally undermines this public purpose by saying (legally, socially, and culturally) that both men and women — moms and dads — are not essential to children, the family, or our future.
