Something To Think About

Sukkot III
This message God laid on my heart, is suitable for youth, adults, lay people, pastors, and ministers of God’s Word. I have shared this passage with fellow believers in the past, and it is such an important reminder for us to keep at the forefront of our hearts and minds.
Ephesians 6:10-20 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the Evil Day, and having done all to STAND.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH, and having on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS; And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of PEACE;
Above all, taking the shield of FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Wicked.
And take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God:
PRAYING always with all prayer and supplications in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for ALL saints;
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
This will be a hard message for some, and will overthrow “the tables of the moneychangers,” but I hope sincere brothers and sisters in Christ will really think about what I am saying.
I see that the number one problem in churches is that people are deceived and distracted by the lies and confusion that the ministers of Satan have been weaving in their “webs of deception” for a long time.
The TRUTH of God is paramount! Without God’s Truth, you are at the mercy of the Devil, and his lies and evil schemes!
If your faith is not based on the Truth, your religion is vain, and you are still in your sin. Only the Truth of the Gospel will lead to righteousness in your heart, knowledge of God, assurance you are saved, and faith in the true Christ, which leads to Eternal Life.
The major issues that I have with many in the Christian leadership, is that they read, study, teach, and promote books that are written by false teachers, and sing music produced by heritics.
Even more concerning, is that many pastors read, study, and preach from Bibles that were corrupted by evil men.
It all began in England, in the late 1800’s, with the revision committee, which included two English scholars, named Drs. Westcott and Hort.
The following quotes are taken from an article from Chick Publications, “Westcott and Hort, Part Three,” I hope you will prayerfully consider.
“We have in Brooke Foss Westcott a man who believed in communal living; a man who believed that the second coming of Christ was spiritual, heaven was a state of mind, prayers for the dead were permissable in private devotions, and that Christ came to bring peace through international disarmament. He believed in purgatory and admiration for Mary, and he thought the Bible was like any other book. This is the man who walked into the Revision Committee and sat in judgment of our Bible. He thought he saw room for improvement in the Authorized Version and offered a pro-Roman Greek text with which to correct it. The ironic thing is that Bible-believing Christian educators and preachers, who would never agree with his theology, have for years exalted his opinion of the Greek as nearly infallible. These facts alone should be reason enough to condemn Westcott and Hort, their Greek Text and the MSS which they used to arrive at such a text.”
“The common desire of these two Cambridge scholars was to eliminate the authority of the Universal Greek Text of the King James Bible. Scholars had long sought to do this, but were baffled by the obvious evidence testifying that the Universal Text was indeed the true text of the Bible, and in that, a preservation of the original autographs. These scholars, subtly influenced by Rome, knew that their duty was to overthrow this pure, Protestant, Christ-honoring text and replace it with the Local Text of Alexandria, Egypt, but the overwhelming evidence was always weighted in God’s favor. No one, even the Roman Catholic Church, could find a way to explain why 95% of all extant MSS belonged to the Universal Text. “Textual criticism” was at a standstill until this roadblock could be circumvented.”
“They had edited the corrupt Vatican and Sinaitic manuscripts of the Local Text of Alexandria and produced their own Greek text. Wisely they had never published it. Thus its existence was unknown to the world, and Westcott and Hort did not have to worry about the investigative eyes of their contemporary scholars, such as Dean John Burgon. Had it been published earlier, it assuredly would have been exposed as corrupt and unfit for translation into English.”
“Westcott and Hort were so successful at their secret task of subtly guiding the decision of the Revision Committee that many Committee members did not suspect that they had been used by the Cambridge duo to help destroy the authority of the Authorized Version and give the world yet another Roman Catholic Bible.”
“It is truly amazing in light of all the evidence of their apostasy, that Westcott and Hort should be so revered by modern scholarship.”
There are those who now try to distance themselves from these two men, but the fact remains that most critical editions of the Greek New Testament give precedence to the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, from which Westcott and Hort’s “secret manuscript” is based.
The corruption of God’s Word by these men has caused immense confusion in the churches! Just as Eve was deceived by the serpent, those who read and study from a “tainted” Bible will be greatly affected by the truth mixed with lies!
Jesus said the “final days” would be mark by great deception, and a “falling away from the Truth,” and that is happening in our Day!
May you have “ears to hear,” the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Scriptures, and was confirmed by the Holy Spirit, and witnessed by me on the night of 28 February 1993.
“Many things you have been taught here has been done in secrecy and in darkness. You have been taught truth mixed with lies, and the Lord says it will go on no longer!
…And the Lord is giving you a chance to turn from your sin. And He is so forgiving that He will not hold your sin against you if you repent. And if you do not, you will die!
…Everything you have learned here has been tainted with evil, and you can’t hold on to any of it. The only thing that you can hold on to is the fact that Jesus Christ died for you, and by His mighty power, God raised Him from the dead.
And if you believe that in your heart, and claim Him as Lord, He will put the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, inside of you, to lead you and guide you into the truth!
Light will overshadow darkness, and darkness will not be able to stand in the presence of God!”
You can still be “saved” by believing the truth of the Gospel, even if you read from a “modern version,” but how you conduct your life, God will surely Judge. And only He decides who will be “born again.”
Your relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ WILL determine your eternal destiny; but if you do not truly know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will not only lose everything you have gained in this life, but when you die, you will lose your soul in Hell! After all, Jesus Christ is the One who holds “the keys of Hell and death!”
I just pray I will be unashamed on that Day when I stand before God, to give an account of my Life. And only by God’s grace and mercy will I be! That is my sincere hope for you those who receive my messages, and may Almighty God be with you and your loved ones in the journey!
