You Will Go Where You Are Looking

-

Reacting to what men/a man does IS the Spirit of antichrist.  It's the point.  It's what it means to fail the test.  If the guy you think is the antichrist does something and gets you riled, you are failing the test. 

God is ahead of this moment.  What is the Spirit of prophecy saying?  It's different than what both halves of the world are saying.  Man can only pick "good or evil" in the flesh.  God is working all things for those that love Him AND are called to his purpose.

Following a man, whether you like him or not, is following a man. It isn't righteous. No man can save, or destroy, the earth.  The Bible already tells us what is going to happen. Do I believe it?

Follow God.  You'll end up in a totally different place than both halves of the world are going right now.  Satan divides to conquer.  Both halves are under his sway.  I can go up.

Revelation 13:3-5 NKJV — And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.


The Antichrist is a test for those who claim to love Jesus Christ.  The world doesn't need a test. It is already taking itself away from God in fear and doubt.  It's the church that is being qualified, or disqualified.  According to the Bible, marveling, following, and then becoming confused about who has power is what God defines as antichrist worship. God has all the authority. All of it. Do I believe that?  God has raised up many tests.  He is shaking everything.  Some are finding the place of peace.  Others are only preaching worry.

The Spirit says the kingdom isn't coming in a way as to be seen (Luke 17).  Look at the kingdom and you'll be ok.  You look there ONLY in faith.  Never in worry.  

Look at everything else and you'll feel righteous resisting the very kingdom you think you are helping.

Matthew 6:33-34 NKJV — “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


Stirring up others in worry isn't godly. It's like the enemy of God. 

*It happened in Jeremiah's day

*It happened in Daniel's day

*It happened in David's day

*It happened in Jesus' day!  

We were always to be preparing for these days by learning from the testimony of godly people in the Bible!

The people that orchestrated Jesus' death thought they were experts in God, but they didn't know His emotions.  They stole his facts and used them against Him. They were afraid of what was being lost, not prophetically moving into who was being given.

The world isn't about to end.  It's just about to begin again.

Paul had the wisdom to come out of that and learn to not react to the world around Him.  He didn't follow Caesar, Felix, the Sanhedrin...  He was doing something totally different. He wasn't warning everyone of trouble.  He was walking into trouble with a totally different vision. He warned followers of Jesus to get into a cross for themselves.

Philippians 4:4-9 NKJV — Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.


This is what the Spirit says: don't listen to reactors, or you will start reacting with them right out of the kingdom of peace. Listen to God.  You know you are listening to God when you feel like He does.

Galatians 5:22-26 NKJV — But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.


Marveling is marveling.  Don't get into it.  Everything we see is what man does.  It should be no surprise.  God isn't impressed with our shock , marvel, rage, or self-righteousness. God enjoys faith.  Human reacting never helps God.  Human obedience helps the human.

The Difference Between True and False Teachers: The Flesh Cannot Save Itself

Image
The weight of true salvation is not on the person being saved. The Cross is the power of the gospel. That means the flesh cannot save itself. False teachers place the weight of salvation on people. Change this, tweak this, stop this, do more of this… if only we had done this, then God would have done more… These are vain thoughts. God is looking for children to make saints, not saints to make children . The flesh is arrogant. It does not want to be weak. The flesh hates being needy. It hates being a child. This goes all the way back to the original sin. Adam and Eve wanted to be like God, but outside of His leading. This delusion has infected all flesh. It is why Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit AND David’s seed. David learned to embrace weakness and need. This was the true source of David’s strength: getting out of God’s way. Jesus took David’s flesh and submitted it fully to the Holy Spirit’s leadership… even unto death on a cross. The false Gospel wants to save man’s ...

Come Out of Babylon!

Anyone truly in a growing relationship with God... Anyone that truly knows Him, becomes more and more confident of One Thing: God is the strength of their bond, not themselves. *It's God who made us, not the other way around *It's God who sustains us... Every heart beat, every breath.. *It's God who holds eternity, not us. *It's God who has done every good thing, not man. If heaven is truly good, it's good because of God, not man. If righteousness is truly righteous, it's because of God not man. Life is only a thing we have because God decided it would be so.  He is looking for those who humble themselves back into His majesty and out of their own theft of His life and creation. Relying on human strength for godliness is theft, not a help to God.   What I do doesn't help me grow in God. What I want and express to him in prayer (ask and receive) does.  It takes God for all the change necessary to make me righteous. Trying to be righteous for God results in al...

God Wants My Heart, Not My Help

-
There is a brokenness in my flesh that tends to try to be God instead of let God be God to me. "Wanting what God wants" doesn't make me loyal to God.  Even Satan wants what God wants: Isaiah 14:12-15 NLT — “How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’ Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths. Satan led Adam and Eve into this same delusion.  I must be honest that this wrong thinking operates in my soul. God made Adam and Eve children of the most high, but they wanted to be like the most high. Over and over, God gave His people everything they needed to worship Him, and over and over they took what God gave and...

Jesus' One and Only Doctrine

-
Jesus only taught one doctrine: John 5:19 NKJV — Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. He taught this one doctrine many ways.  "Take up your cross," "deny yourself," "follow me," "do everything to be seen by God and not man," "my sheep hear my voice," etc...  everything Jesus taught was that man should not lead himself, but must hear and see God and do what God says. Any other doctrine is false. That makes the doctrine of Jesus PRAYER.  Not talking at God, but rather listening to God.  This was also the apostle's doctrine. Acts 2:40-47 NKJV — And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued s...

Meekness is the Telltale of a True Witness

-
Luke 24:47-49 NKJV — “and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. “And you are witnesses of these things. “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” At the very center of what it means to be a witness of Yeshua is HIS personality, not mine. The Spirit of Jesus is what we see His personality to be in the Gospel.  This is because Jesus successfully denied His flesh.  Because of the humility of Jesus, we see God's personality shine through Jesus' actions, words, and teachings. Jesus got out of the way so God's will could shine through. "Not my will but Yours," was the final statement of love and obedience Jesus left the earth with. Jesus said, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." John 14:9 NKJV — Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? H...
