9/11 Isaiah and U.S. Rapture!

 

 

 

The children of Israel and the United States are compared to a vineyard in Isaiah 5:4-5, “What could have been done more to My vineyard, that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? (5)And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down”

Isaiah 31:1, (KJV), “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help…”

Since the “War-to-end-all-wars,” WWII, our people have turned their trust and confidence from God to space technology, nuclear technology, military technology, many great successful businesses with 20-30 year financial retirement programs, and until recently the greatest health care on earth, but as we say we thank God for all these modern conveniences, we have been pushing or allowing God to be pushed out of our lives through “abortion” which is murder(50+M), removing the emblems and plaques of God or His Word from sight, God’s moral principles are being ridiculed and those trying to live by His morals are starting to be persecuted legally by our non-Christian society, and churches are even fighting and dividing over His moral standards.

God’s charges to His people, below:    

In Isaiah 58:1-2, (KJV), “God speaks to His rebellious children, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

1) Yet they seek me daily, and

2) Delight to know my ways,

3)As a nation that did righteousness, and

 4)Forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice;

 5)They take delight in approaching to God.” 

But these people are so proud of themselves for all the good work they feel they are doing for God, just like all of the Christian denominations and organizations in our country.  The people of Isaiah’s day started asking, “Where is God?” Why isn’t He showing His favor for all their good works?”They ask in Isaiah 58:3a, (NIV), “Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?...”

 

God tells His people how phony they are and how to correct their ways.  Then God in the remainder of Isaiah 58 tells them how great it will be for them if they accept His warning, humble themselves, repent and turn to Him with all their hearts. 

 

God again summarizes to His people why they were not getting a favorable response from Him in Isaiah 59:1-2, (KJV), “Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

Just like with the children of Israel that God was speaking to above, our sins and iniquities are WHY GOD IS NOT ANSWERING AND DELIVERING OUR SINFUL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY AND OUR COUNTRY FROM THE DEVIL’S ATTACK ON AND THROUGH THE MUSLIMS IN OUR COUNTRY.  Our Christian community is full of sins and iniquities, and are babes in Christ since there are so many denominations, 1Corinthians 3:1,(KJV), “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.  3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? ⁴ For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? ⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? ⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”

 and Ephesians 4:5,14, (KJV), “ One Lord, one faith, one baptism…14, That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”  Our Christianity society is filled with division, envying, strife and false doctrines and as the Apostle Paul says above our Christian society too, all denominations, are carnal, babes in Christ, tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine.”

 

God tells the people that they will respond in pride and stoutness of heart to build stronger buildings and plant more costlier or stronger trees, instead of humbling themselves and turning to Him as they should, Isaiah 9:10,(KJV) “The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.”                     

AMERICAN   RESPONSE   TO   9/11

 1.  BRICKS FALLING:  The day after 9/11 Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle in his Floor Statement on a 'Joint Resolution of Condemnation for the September 11, 2001 stated the following from Isaiah 9:10.…

“But there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that I think speaks to all of us at times such as this: 

Isaiah 9:10a, “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stones...”

(Daschle didn’t know this was like a curse.  This response was what the people planned to do instead of humbling themselves to God.  Daschle gave it as though it was a great all-American response not knowing he was repeating what God counted as a curse to the people of Israel.)

American Response:  Just like the children of Israel, our nation will rebuild with our own hands and we will recover, just like God said the rebellious children of Israel would do in response to Him.   Congress, the President and some judges stood on the steps of Congress and sang a few patriotic, Godly songs, and people across the nation flocked to the churches but that only lasted for about six weeks.  The reaction of Congress was as phony as all of God’s charges to His people in Isaiah 58 above.  Compare Congress’ expressed sincerity the day after 9/11 to how they rammed through without reading Obamacare, Same Sex Marriage, and have supported with our tax dollars the muslim brotherhood who are killing Christians all around the world.  

The problem in the American Response is not the defiance against the muslim attack, it is the defiance in our country to not turning back to God, but stating in our arrogance that we will solve our problem without turning to God as a nation.

 

2.  SYCAMORE  TREE  CUT DOWN:  (Ref: Rabbi Jonathan Cahn)

Isaiah 9:10b, “the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.”

 

America’s Response: The above Scripture is actually the proclamation of a curse on a people where the SYCAMORE TREE falls when the buildings collapse, and the people in defiance and self-determination again decide they will plant a stronger CEDAR in the Sycamore’s place without needing to turn to God for help.  The Scripture itself is a WARNING to God’s people about how they would choose an arrogant response to the fallen Sycamore tree and that they would correct the problem themselves without turning to God.  

The error of our response, United States, is not that a defiant attitude against the Islamic militants is wrong; but instead, it is the lack of recognition that God withheld his protection because of our disregard for Him, and the "spirit" of misplaced defiance that we can do whatever we want to correct the problem without seeking God for guidance, that is now the American way or method.

Like in Isaiah 9:10b, There was a lone SYCAMORE tree at the corner of Ground Zero at St. Paul's Chapel where George Washington once sought God for mercy on our country.

• It was cut down by a steel beam that fell from the North Twin Tower when it collapsed.
• New Yorkers made the tree a memorial of remembrance of 9-11.  
• In 2003, a cedar tree, as stated in Isaiah 9;10,  was planted IN THE EXACT SPOT where the sycamore tree had been.
• When God brings judgment, He exposes the foundations or roots.
• One of the 'foundations' of the United States is Wall Street where the New York Stock Exchange was founded.  The previous name of this group?  The Buttonwood Association.  Buttonwood literally means "sycamore."
• Wall Street was also the first location our government convened under the newly ratified Constitution.  Its first meeting was at the corner of Ground Zero.  George Washington's prayer asks for protection over our country as we imitate God's virtues, implying we would lose His protection if we don't imitate god’s virtues.
• A bronze sculpture of the uprooted sycamore at ground zero was placed on Wall Street in September of 2005.
• President Obama's declaration that we will rebuild, we will recover did not acknowledge "with God's mercy and grace" as many predecessors had done in making similar declarations, but it is in the same spirit of "self-will" as the speeches that directly cited the Isaiah passage.

 

 

 

 

It is also pointed out by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn that Isaiah 9:10 is translated by Lancelot C.L.Brenton in the 1851 English Translation of the Greek Septuagint as: 

“The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.”

World Trade Center Tower 7 now is completed at Ground Zero. 

THE UNITED STATES HAS RESPONDED JUST LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID IN ISAIAH 9:10.

 

FIVE WARNINGS/JUDGMENTS

Isaiah 5:11-25

Isaiah 9:10-12

Isaiah 9:13-17 –Those who guide this people mislead them, guided are led astray.

Isaiah 9:18-21

Isaiah 10:1-4

For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

 

Isaiah 10:25, (KJV),

“For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.”

*(For His anger is not turned away, but it shall soon cease, and in Chapter 12 the song of their deliverance is given.)

Isaiah 3:10, “Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.”

Isaiah 51:7, (KJV),

⁷ Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

THE   ISAIAH  RAPTURE/9/11

Isaiah 57:1-2

King James Version (KJV)

“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

² He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.”

Isaiah 57:1-2, (NIV)

“The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
² Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.”

 

The righteous are being taken away by individual raptures to be spared from the judgment God is going to bring on the evil ones left behind as He states in Isaiah 3:10, “Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.”

9/11 RAPTURE

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18,(KJV),

¹⁵ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

¹⁷ Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

¹⁸ Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

 

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10, (KJV),

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."

 

2 Thessalonians 2:32, (KJV), “ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ⁴ Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Devil's Secret Control of Christians

  

The devil may have secret control of many areas of your life.  Unforgiveness opens the door and gives satan control in Christian’s lives and he does it so smoothly you probably won’t recognize it.  You will get deadly sick and not even associate it with the unforgiveness you have for someone.  When we refuse to forgive, we are giving satan the advantage in our lives because we remove our shield of faith by willfully disobeying God’s Will.  Any other disobedience of God’s Word will also result in giving satan the advantage by removing our shield of faith. 

Proverbs 26:28a, “A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it…” When we lie, we are allowing the spirit of the devil to control our tongue deceitfully.

James 1:19, “…Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” Psalms 37:8, “Cease from anger, forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.”

2 Corinthians 2:10-11,-- Forgive others lest you give satan advantage   (in your life.)

Ephesians 4:26-27, “Be angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: (27) Neither give place to the devil (in your life.)”

John 10:10a, “The thief (devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill , and to destroy:”

Proverbs 26:2b, “so the curse causeless shall not come.” The sicknesses and other curses in your life are now just natural things because everyone else has them, satan has brought them because somewhere back in your past you opened the door of disobedience and let the devil come in with the curses. 

We open ourselves for the devil to bring curses into our lives (bodies) by failing to forgive and holding on to anger.  His curses are arguments to separate families and friends, sicknesses, and many other things to cheat or harm you, see Deut 28 for the curses.  Do you see your curse in the list?  The devil will do anything he can to disrupt our lives and cause harm.  Many people are sick because they have held unforgiveness and allowed the devil to bring curses into their lives and they wonder why they can’t get an answer from God for healing. 

Get deliverance from the devil and unforgiveness:  If you have anyone who has hurt or harmed you in any way and you think you cannot forgive them, I think we all know it is God’s will for us to forgive, SO what you do is: 1. Ask God to help you forgive, 2. Every time you think of the person, pray for God to bless them and then 3. pray for your personal problems and needs.

Job did that in Job 42:10, “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” 

And in James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God (praying for His help to forgive the person). Resist the devil, and he will flee.”

There will come a day that you will truly want to see the person blessed, and then you will know you have forgiven the person, or have your heart right with God to forgive the person if they ever asked your forgiveness. Don’t choose to live with unforgiveness and allow the devil to have control of your life and block your answers to prayer any longer.  

 

If you have other problems that satan is probably keeping you from getting an answer to prayer, go to my website at: www.rahardin.com  and in the middle left of the homepage you will see where it talks about videos.  Click on that link and I have 18 videos that will explain many other subjects, but there is one in particular called, “The Deliverance Prayer.”  This will help you get your heart and mind cleared up from a lot of things.   God Bless You

Christianity Condition

A

God will only shield our country from the ACLU and muslims when we preach and teach His Pure Word.

Proverbs 30:5-6, (KJV), “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (6) Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

B

If our Christian society were preaching and teaching God’s Pure Word, we would have only one denomination because there is only one faith.  Pride, ego, and ignorance is what has split up Christianity into the denominations, we should only have ONE Christian church!

Ephesians 4:4-6, (KJV), “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; (5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (6) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

C

Every preacher, teacher, pastor, evangelist is charged to work at bringing all Christian denominations and groups –into the unity of the ONE faith and the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-13, (KJV), “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (13) TILL  we all come in the unity of the faith (the one faith), and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

D

Ephesians 4:14, “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”

Our Christian society with all of its seminaries, bible schools, and thousands of graduates are only children tossed to and fro, and carried about with hundreds of winds of doctrines.  Seminaries and colleges only teach how to interpret the Scriptures to support their beliefs, not the Pure Word of God.  That is why there is no outpouring of God’s Spirit, we do not have the Shield of (the one) Faith that He will back up.  Our Christian leaders of all groups have been tried and found to be “liars” according to Proverbs 30:5-6 above.  Your meeting is a good idea except for the fact that none of your speakers even have a clue as to the real “problem” or solution.   

Richard Hardin – www.rahardin.com    

God has backed off and turned the US over to its Lusts.

God has turned our nation over to its evil because the Christian community has not turned to Him.

Isaiah 58:1-3,”The Lord told me, “Shout out loud. Do not hold back.  Raise your voice like a trumpet.  Tell my people that they have refused to obey me.  Tell the family of Jacob how much they have sinned.  (2) Day after day they worship me.  They seem ready and willing to know how I want them to live.  They act as if they were a nation that does what is right.  They act as if they have not turned away from my commands.  They claim to want me to give them fair decisions.  They seem ready and willing to come near and worship me. (3) ‘We have gone without food,’ they say. ‘Why haven’t you noticed it?  We have made ourselves suffer.   Why haven’t you paid any attention to us?’

God’s Answer to them and the United States:  Isaiah 59:1-2,(NIRV) “People of Israel (United States), the Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you.  His ears aren’t too deaf to hear your cry for help.  (2) But your sins have separated you from your God. They have caused him to turn his face away from you.   So he won’t listen to you.”

For 8 years I have been on the radio in OKC, OK and simulcast on KTLR.com worldwide  (paying for it with my personal money) telling our people that our Christian society’s Shield of Faith is full of holes because our preachers, evangelists, and teachers are not teaching the pure Word of God, and like Israel above,  going through physical motions of religion which is not acceptable to the Lord because it is so full of errors.   I have visited with many pastors and each one of them told me all is well and their church is doing great.  The failure of our US society is a reflection of the failure of the Christian community, NOT the failure of Christ, but the failure of Christians being Ambassadors sharing His Pure Word.   So much error is added by all denominations that they have been found a liar as stated in Proverbs 30: 5-6, (NIRV)“Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps them safe. (6) Don’t add to his words.  If you do, he will correct you.  He will prove that you are a liar.” 

Ambassadors must share God’s Pure Word; therefore, our Christian preachers, university teachers, evangelists have been proven liars, and God has turned over our country to an ungodly president and party who voted in the majority to remove God from the platform, for gay marriage and many other ungodly activities.  God has allowed this because His people are too lazy to turn to Him for the truth of His Word, but instead spew out trite statements which sound good but are meaningless and create confusion.

America's Shield of Faith is full of holes!

Ps 138:2 – God has exalted His Word above all His names.

            Jesus exalted to the right hand (authority) of the Father.

Rev 12:11 – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Proverbs 30:5-6 states, “Every Word of God is Pure; A shield to those who put their trust in it.  (6) Don’t add to, lest thou be reproved, and thou be made a liar, evidenced by God not backing up what you say or shielding you from the devil’s darts.

JUDGED BY THE WORD.—John 5:22 –Father to Son:  John 12:48 – Son to the Word!

Matt 12:36 – We will answer for every idle word we speak.

Angel Michael to Daniel 12:4,9, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the Words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (9) And he said, ‘Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”

Rev 5:1-14, --Only Jesus (the slain Lamb) through the Living Word (Christ) is able to open up the Words of the Book and give us understanding.  Jesus – Truth-Living Word-Holy Spirit.

O.T. – God willed, Spoke His Word (Truth) by prophets.

N.T. – God wills, God speaks His Word (Truth) through Jesus to us, Heb 1:1-2.

BELOW ARE AREAS TAUGHT BY MAINLINE DOCTOR’S OF THEOLOGY WHICH ARE CAUSING AMERICANS TO HAVE A VERY POOR SHIELD THAT IS NOT HOLDING BACK THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE DEVIL IN OUR SOCEITY.  ONLY GOD’S PURE WORD WILL SHIELD US FROM THE DEVIL AND CAUSE HIM TO FLEE. 

1.  Faith – Heb 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Rom 10:17, Ps 119:9 - Faith only comes when we hear and accept God's Word.

FEAR – 2 Tim 1:7 Spirit of fear but of power, Love and a sound mind.

2.  All men have Faith – Romans 12:3 -  Chapter on Gifts of Spirit . 

Deut 32:20 – God; Mark 4:40 – Jesus;  2 Thess 3:2 – Apostle Paul

      Can not place faith – not a commodity/item to put in pocket and do with as you please.

3. We can have what we say! Mark 11:23 – We can only have what God tells us when He gets us out of doubt.  That, what He tells us, is our only confession of faith.  Jehoshaphat – 2 Chron 20:1-26;  David – 2 Sam 5:18-25   Jesse/Katrinia

4. Love – Not three(3) loves!  Only one love – God, 1 John 4:8, 16, “God is Love.”  Philao/Eros are not love – they are just strong feelings of attraction, to say they are love is to “say they are other Gods.” Love isn’t a characteristic of God – He is Love! 

Andrew Wommack selling $100+ pkg on God kind of Love.  There is not a kind of love, there is One Love and the One Love is God!

5. Mercy (Do to others as you would have God do to you.)   Luke 10:37 – Samaritan;  Luke 6:31 – Pray for those who despitefully use u; Bless those who cruse you!

God or His Love on or to mankind.  Psalms 25:10 – Mercy & Truth only in O.T.

Truth – John 17:17.  God (Love) to/on them and He spoke His Word to them.  Ps 25:10 – mercy/truth, covenants/testimonies.

6. Grace (God’s Unmerited Favor) – TOTALLY INCORRECT!  a.  If unmerited were used to distinguish/define grace from “other loves”, then there would have to be “a merited grace.”  Unmerited is a characteristic of all of God’s manifested Love – Mercy, Grace, Compassion, Charity, etc., therefore, unmerited can not be used as a defining word to specify any word used for God’s Love.  b.  Grace is not defined or associated with favor.  Favor is God’s Love to or on His people, which is associated with the one-way Love mercy, not grace.  Mercy is God’s Love on or to His people externally.  Grace is the internal work of God (Love) in His people’s heart, Ez 36:26.  Grace was incorrectly interpreted into and used in the Old Testament.  Each time the word grace was used in the OT it should have been either favor or mercy because PS 25:10 says there was only mercy and truth in the OT to those who obeyed God’s covenant and testimonies.  John 1:14,17 states that grace came by Jesus, and He came in the fullness of M & T.

We have: Mercy – God’s Love on us, Grace – God’s Love in us, and Truth – God speaking to us through Jesus.  Jesus speaks to us through the Spirit – Holy Spirit!

Ez 36:26 –Col 1:27 – Rom 8:9 – Gal 4:6 – 2 Cor 5:17

7. Charity- Vine’s, one of the main dictionaries of Biblical words doesn’t even attempt to define CHARITY, it just says “See Love.”  All of the new versions completely leave out Charity and replace it with Love, which is technically correct, but just saying Love does not give the beauty and special methods of how the Love is being manifested.  Charity is the work of God’s Love in the receptive and obedient heart of one or more of God’s Children who then allow God to flow freely and minister through them to someone else.  This is why in the KJV/Catholic  versions the Apostle Paul says Charity is the fulfillment of the Law – One of God’s Children is loving God with all their heart and by positively receiving and allowing the same Love, God, to pass through them to someone else - they are loving God with all their heart and loving their neighbor as they love themselves.  The work of Charity could also be described as “Faith that worketh by Love,” Gal 5:6,  since faith comes from accepting and obeying God’s Word, and in the work of Charity one or more of God’s Children are receiving and responding in Love to what God has asked them to do.  Faith that worketh by Love and Charity are the same thing, just described by different means of operational words.   Edify---to build up in Christ the Lord!

8. Evil – is what is left in the absence of God.  Rom 1 --When mankind rejects God – He lets them go to their evil way – 2 Ch 7:14.  Our present public schools/society and especially government.  Lawyers – unGodly.

9. Generational Curses – Ezek 18 – No such thing!  Bad personality characteristics or habits can be passed from generation to generation, but these are not CURSES from God!  Abram – Isaac – Jacob – lying, cheating, etc.  My dad an alcoholic, not a curse from God on me.  God was working to get me out of it! Aunt Pauline!

A curse – King Saul, Pharaoh – not just a bad hair day or a lot of bad luck!

No curse from God, but people are choosing to live with curses – 2 Cor 2:10-11, Eph 4:26-27,  Prov 26:2 – CURSE CAUSELESS SHALL NOT COME.

Willfully disobeying God’s Word or will results in us turning in agreement with the devil and allowing him to bring on or in our lives whatever he desires.  Ignorance of God’s Word or will is sometimes covered by God’s mercy, but He does not protect us from everything when we should be seeking Him to find out His will.  We must be actively seeking God’s pure Word, searching the Scriptures (different versions), praying, accepting the Scriptures we already know, to receive more truth from God. 

10. God is in Control – NO!  1 John 5:19 – NIV – whole world lies in the control of the evil one. NAS- (power); Amp- (power), KJV – whole world lieth in wickedness.

MATT 28:18 – All power and authority given unto Jesus!  2 Cor 2 10; Eph 4:26. 

            ANY REJECTION OF GOD’S WORD OR WILL GIVES  devil CONTROL.

            Phil 2:14 – complaining/arguing; John 1:19 – quick to hear/slow to speak/wrath.

            Luke 6:      -pray for those who despitefull use you/curse you/ etc.

            DO U TRUST GOD ENOUGH TO LET HIM HANDLE THE PROBLEM?

11. God changes His mind – Hebrews 13:8- Jesus Christ, same yesterday, today and forever.  Jesus has obviously changed!   Christ, the Living Word manifested in the flesh, has not changed!  Christ was with Moses as stated in Heb 11:26, and Christ, the Living Word (Holy Spirit), is with us today and will be with us forever!  God has not changed in personality, power, authority, or characteristics.

God Changed For:

Moses – Ex32:7-14

Hezekiah/ Isaiah – 2 Kings 20:1-11 God not a respector of persons:

Nineveh – Jonah 3:4-10

God wants to change: Jer 18:8,10; 26:3-13, 2 Chron 7:14.

PRAYER CHANGES GOD – NOT JUST THE PERSON PRAYING!  Devil doesn’t want you to know how important your prayers are, says nothing will happen except you will change your attitude!  The preachers across our nation are so out of fellowship with God and are not getting their payers answered, so they are teaching that God doesn’t change things, only the person praying!

IF  GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING – DOESN’T HE KNOW U WERE GOING TO PRAY AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS --- SO REALLY NOTHING CHANGED – YOU JUST DID WHAT HE HAD ALREADY PLANNED.  NO!

Predestination in our Society is based on God knowing everything.  But --

12. Does God know everything? No!  First lets look at Scriptures that show that God did not hate Esau because when talking about predestination immediately someone will say “Well, God said He hated Esau even before Esau’s birth.”  After discussing Esau, I will show you Scriptures where God in His Sovereignty  gave up His ability to know certain things about us.  This will prove from the Scriptures that God does not know who will go to heaven/hell when people are born, and God did not say He hated Esau. 

First, lets look at Scriptures which show that God did not hate Esau.  God blessed and fought with Esau to give Esau a homeland in Mt. Seir that had before been occupied by giants.  God blessed Esau/Edom with Mt Sier – Deut 2:12 – during 20 years that God was blessing Jacob with wives and wealth.   God never said He hated Esau, Malachi never said God hated Esau, and God did not hate Esau.  

The problem comes from a misunderstanding through the years of Malachi 1: 1-3 – God did not say He hated Esau.  NO!

            GOD DID DESTROY ESAU’S HOMELAND IN LATER YEARS! But not because                        of Esau!

            Problem:  Esau/Edomites 400+ years after Esau died brought God’s curse of Gen 12:3 upon the Esau’s descendants, but not the man ESAU, He was dead!

            Gen 24:23 – 35:29 – “And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.”

            NOW WE CAN DISCUSS DOES GOD REALLY CHANGE THINGS AND CAUSE THINGS TO HAPPEN WHICH WERE NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE PRAY, AND ARE PEOPLE ALREADY PREDESTINATED (or chosen_ TO HEAVEN/HELL BEFORE BIRTH. 

We have seen from the Scriptures that God changed His mind for Moses, Nineveh, King Hezekiah, and God says in the Book of Jeremiah and many other places too that He wants to change, for example, 2 Chron 7:14, which most of you have heard many times, God says,  “If My people, which are called by my mane, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  God wants to change things, If we will change or turn back to Him and His ways!

SO,  did God really change for Moses, Nineveh, and King Hezekiah or did God already have all this planned and knew what was going to happen and just made it look like He changed?  NO, BECAUSE GOD REALLY DID CHANGE – OUR RESPONSE TO GOD’S LOVE IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT GOD-IN HIS SOVEREIGNTY GAVE UP THE RIGHT OR ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT OUR PERSONAL DECISIONS TOWARD HIM WOULD BE BEFORE WE MAKE THEM.  He wants our response to His Pure Love to be totally our free will choice – that we must answer for throughout eternity! He won’t make us choose for Him and the devil can not make us chose against God --- it is all our choice!

            LOOK AT THESE TWO AREAS WHERE GOD HAS CHOSEN TO GIVE UP

HIS ABILITY TO KNOW CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT US!  MAYBE MORE, BUT I ONLY KNOW OF TWO.

GOD DOES NOT KNOW OUR FORGIVEN SINS! -- In Is 43:25, God states, “I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions

 for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”

                  In  Heb 8:12, God states, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,

and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”

NOW, I don’t know about all of you, but that means there is a lot about my early life that God does not know now.  There is probably a lot about your children’s misbehaving that you do not remember either- unless they are still doing the same things– see we are created in the image of our Father. 

                  THE SECOND AREA GOD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT US IS BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US FREE WILL AND DOES NOT KNOW THE DECISIONS WE WILL MAKE TO CHOICES WE ARE FACED WITH:  Listen to what God, Himself says about His people, the Children of Israel.”

  God says in Jer 7:31, “And they have built the high places of  Tophet,…to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.”  There are many other Scriptures in which God says He did not know something or completely changed His mind, because He loved people so much, He changed because of their prayers!  Many theologians who helped translate the copies of the Bible, seminary professors and pastors  know these Scriptures are in the Bible, yet they are too cowardly and afraid what their congregations will do or say, so to keep the money coming in they never mention them.  But, in this Scripture, God says he did not know how evil His people would become.  Now, is that just one version of the copies of the Bible misinterpreting the verse?  No – all 26 of the main versions all say the same thing – THAT GOD SAID HE DID NOT KNOW HOW EVIL HIS CHILDREN WOULD BE.

NOW- Now Rom 10:17 – states FAITH comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  To receive the above Scriptures to faith, Is 43:25, Heb 8:12 and Jer 7:31, means that from now on, you must not teach that God knows everything!  If you do you will be rejecting the above Scriptures to unbelief.  We must accept God’s own words to faith if we are going to accept anything to faith.  There are other Scriptures where God says He didn’t know things.  I won’t give them all here today, you can have the joy of finding some of them yourself. 

SO TO SUMMARIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT WE JUST COVERED:

A.      God will change things because of our prayers: Not just us, even though we will change with happiness and joy, God will cause things to happen that would never have happened in circumstances of our lives and in others lives because of us just talking to Him(prayer).  Our prayers are important and the devil does not  want you to know or believe what will happen when you start praying seriously, and getting sin our of your life, because then the devil will lose control and be defeated in your life.  Sin is the only thing that blocks our prayers from being answered, Isaiah 59:1-2, not God.

B.      God has not predestined any person to heaven/hell, neither does He know from before our birth who will go to heaven/hell.  Hell was not created for even one person – listen to what Jesus says and accept His words to faith in Matt 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Isaiah 5:14 – Hell enlarged.

C.      Since God does not know what decisions we will make, we each are totally responsible for whether we make the decisions to go to heaven or to go to hell.  God will not make us make the right decisions, and the devil can not keep us from making the right decisions.  Whether we stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ or stand at the Great White Throne judgment will depend on choices we each make while we are in this physical life.  

D.      FINALLY,  GOD DID NOT HATE ESAU, DID NOT SAY HE HATED ESAU, BUT GOD LOVED ESAU LIKE HE HAS LOVED *EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN BORN ON THE EARTH.   * Pharaoh cursed God’s people – Gen 12:3.  JESUS said that hell was not created for even one person.  God wants all of us to choose Him and be with Him in heaven,  so any of you listeners, regardless of your past can call out to God, repenting or turning from your sins, ask for forgiveness and invite the Spirit of Christ, right now to come into your heart, create in you the new heart and adopt you into the family of God.  John 14:6, I am the way, truth and life, no one can honor God the Father and reject the Son or His Word. 

E.      Our image or belief about God – determines how we relate to Him.  Heb 11:6 – We must not only believe God can do things—We must believe that He will hear and answer us if we seek Him diligently., Matt 7:11, Luke 11:13 – ye being evil give good how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit.

13. God says My ways are not your ways…Is 55.  God is saying their “religious ways are not His ways.”  In Is 55, god is calling a sinful people to Him.  In 57, righteous people are being taken from the evil that is to come.  In Is 58, the religious people are fasting, worshiping, praying; all the things good people should do but they are complaining that God is not listening and answering their prayers.  God has already told them that “their ways were not His ways.”  God now clearly spells out why He doesn’t answer their prayers or ours either--- Is 59:1—SIN.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET KNOWLEDGE/UNDERSTANDINT/WISDOM!

And in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, 2 Pet 1:2-5.

Prov 4:4 – Get W and U                   Prov 9:10 – Fear of Lord beginning  W,

Most messages I have heard teach tha “our ways are not God’s ways,” like it is impossible for us to know God, or become lke Him because we are so lowly and incapable of knowing God.  But He wants us to know Him.

      Hosea 4:6 – My people perish for lack of K, because thou hast rejected K, I will

 reject thee.  Rom 12:2 – Renew your mind.  2 Pet 1:2 – Grace/peace multiplied

to u through K of Jesus. 1 Cor 2:16 – We (should) have the mind of Christ –

seeking God!

14. Permissive Will – Eccleasiastis 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Prov 30:5 says “Every Word of God is pure.”  Changing any of God’s Word is an evil work.  Moses struck the rock, when God told Him to speak to it – Lost his entrance into the Promised Land.  King Saul offered sacrifices to God after God told him to wait for the Prophet Samuel to offer the sacrifices – God pulled His Spirit from King Saul.  Samson revealed to the Philistine woman Delilah the secret of his strength and God removed His Spirit from him, Judges 16:20, “…And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.”

1 Sam 5:18-25—David was told he had to obey God’s Word exactly, (24)“… when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.”

2 Chron 20:1-26: Jehoshaphat: God said, “It is not your battle but mine, march out the gates, set yourself and watch the victory.”

Rom 11:29, “For the gifts and callings of God are without repentance.” 

2 Tim 1:9,”Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” Eph 2:8-10, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9)Not of works, lest any man should boast. (10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” 

Each of us have a special calling, but the only way to find that calling is to seek God with all our heart – Jer 29:13.  If you are refusing to Obey God’s Call, or are refusing to seek God’s Call, you are refusing to allow God’s Spirit (grace) to work in your heart.  If you refuse to seek God you are refusing His work of Grace He wants to work in your heart.  Heb 11:1-4 – We are refusing God’s grace if we refuse or neglect his special call on our lives.

AS CHRISTIANS WE WILL ANSWER:  1 Cor 3:11-15, 2 Cor 5:10, “For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (11) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men:…” Rejecting God’s Call/Word, etc.

Failing to seek God’s special call in our life, unforgiven sin, prejudice, unforgiveness, and failing to serve God are all sin, 2 Chron 12:14 “And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.” (Reahobom).

15.  FEAR – 2 Tim 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and

of love, and of a sound mind.”  FIRST:  Fear is not an emotion!  As Christians we are Spirit(Christ in us), Soul (mind, feelings, thoughts, & emotions) and our physical (body).  The spirit of fear is the devil not an emotion.   The devil attacking us causes us to have some extreme emotions which we have always just thought of as fear, but that is not correct; emotions are not fear.  Emotions are caused by Fear!   Fear is the spirit of the devil.  Now when we doubt God will protect us(from some harm), or doubt God will help us(teach a class, etc), provide for us(financially, health, etc), THESE DOUBTS open the door and the devil(the spirit) comes in and torments us as much as he can and that is what we call fear – the devil (spirit of fear) tormenting us.  He wants to get us as upset as much as possible so we will not calm down enough to seek and find God’s Will, or we will miss God when He speaks to us.  If he can get us that upset and we miss God, he (the devil) will have control in the situation..  FEAR is a FLAG!  Respond in prayer!  Jehoshaphat – Feared! Every time you recognize any fear or excessive worry – ASK yourself “What about God am I doubting.”  Seek God and get the doubt cleared up and the devil will be defeated and flee – James 4:7.   LET fear be your FLAG of warning, for the rest of your life – Respond by seeking God about your doubt instead of trying to fight the fear, 1 Pet 5:7.—Cast your cares on Jesus for He cares for you, because the devil roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour. 

There are so more errors being taught in our Christian community.  Christianity is so mixed up, no wonder God is not standing up for us against the devils onslaught through the internal  muslim attack on our country.
