SHADOWS OF DARKNESS

How many people live their lives in the darkness of their own shadows?
   How many people are afraid to come out of the darkness and into the light?
   How many are afraid to think for themselves, voice their own opinions, or speak their own minds?
   How many are afraid to conduct their own research for truth?
   How many are content to accept the thoughts and opinions of others?
   How many sit and watch as others do, but never participating?
   How many remain in the shadows because they worry about what others will think about them?
   How many wear the clothes and shoes that others wear, think the thoughts that others think, and speak the words that others speak?
      "For God hath not give us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."  (1st Timothy 1: 7)
   While we will never know the psychological mind of every person, but perhaps we can agree that all of us share a degree of fear---fear of the unknown, fear of animals, fear of night, fear of people, fear of doubt, fear of shame, fear of embarrassment, fear of striking out in baseball, fear of not performing as well as others, and even the fear of being in the presence of others as if we are alone and on a stage with the spotlight upon us. Therefore we retreat to the comfort and safety in the darkness of our own shadows and hide.
   Thus, fear abides in our minds where we can also manufacture imaginary fear, at which time fear multiplies itself within our minds and we produce layers of fear upon fear and fear upon fear. 
   Fear is real, however, and it takes on a life of its own---to the point where we can even fear success because we can feel like we do not deserve it:  as if success belongs to others and that we should be no more than cheerleaders for them.
   Jesus said,
      "I am the light of the world:  he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."  (John 8: 12)
   Perhaps it is fear, more than any other human characteristic, that prevents people from coming out of the darkness and to the light of Christ for salvation:  to totally trust in Him whom we cannot see with our eyes. 
      "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."  (John 1: 12)
      "Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."  (Acts 4: 12)
   In conclusion, let me tell you that on the day of my salvation in Christ, fear engulfed my mind:  and I feared what others would say or think about me; and I feared coming out of the darkness of my own shadow to trust in Christ, to surrender myself to Him, whom I do not see with my eyes.  But after Christ saved me from my sin, fear fled from me and the darkness was gone.  Had I refused Christ that day, however, this story you are reading today would have never been written because I would have not been saved to live to write it.
   Fear grips, and it binds, and it can tie us up in knots, keeping us in the shadows of our own darkness, and living in a world of misery.  To trust in Christ, let go of the fear and it will flee from you.
   By trusting in Christ, your entire future will change; but you will never know that future until you trust in Him with all of your heart because you are on God's mind.
      "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you."  (Jeremiah 29:  11-12)
   And when you come out of the darkness and to the light of Christ, close the door behind you!

FAMILIAR FACES




   The familiar faces we see on television are the people in control of the world, adorned in fancy suits and priestly garments, doing their best to look sincere, charming, and trustworthy.
   They control governments, they control religions, and they control the world's money system, from Wall Street to Main Street, including all the silver and all the gold.
   They also control the vast majority of the news media, such as radio, television, magazines, and newspapers.  They control the internet, too.
   They control Hollywood, movies, actors and actresses, television programs and advertising, and the music industry. 
   They control professional sports and college sports because they control the money.
   They control drug trafficking as well as the trafficking of women and children for money, for drugs, and for sexual prostitution and sexual abuse.
   The people in the above photograph have millions of helpers around the world, and they are controlled as puppets on strings to accomplish their global agenda, which is to rule the world.
   They talk about bringing world peace, yet they are the ones instigating trouble. 
   They talk about ending wars, yet they are the ones instigating wars.
   They talk about ending racism, yet they are the ones instigating racism.
   They talk about equal justice for all, yet they are the ones instigating injustice situations.
   Every decision they make is conceived behind closed doors in secret meetings, for they do not want us to know the evil they are planning for people like you and me.
   Jesus said,
      "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"  (Mark 8: 36-37)
   The people in the photograph above have sold their souls to Satan.  All of them have been bought with a price.  They have no conscience.  Since Satan is the father of lies, and since they are Satan's children, it is impossible  for them to speak the truth.  They lie, and then they cover their lies with more lies. 
   They want us to believe that they are our best friends, the people we should trust, but this is simply a trick:  for every action they take is designed to produce chaos and disorder.
   Their ultimate goal is to rule the world, and, in so doing, they must kill billions of people.
   They hate God, they hate Christ, and they hate the Bible.  They also hate Christians because we remind them of Christ. 
   Some of them, however, will say they are Christians.
   Some of them, in fact, have people believing they are ministers of God and Christ, but they lie:  for this is also a trick to persuade people to trust in them.
   Not only do they want adults to trust in them as minsters of God, but they also want the adults to bring their children to them for the purpose of child sacrifices to Satan.
      "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."  (Ephesians 6: 12)
   The people in the photograph above are at war with the world.  They are at war with people like you and me, our families, our friends, and with the people in every neighborhood and community worldwide. 
   Above all of the hypocrisies they exhibit, they want us to believe they love us!
   Therefore, there is no place for us to hide from them, no place to run.  They know where we are and they know how to find us.
   Our only hope remains in Christ and in Christ alone for the salvation of our souls. 
      "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things above, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  (Romans 8: 38-39)

HILLARY'S SHEEPLES

  



   Rich Democrats know that Hillary Clinton will not raise taxes on rich people should she become the next President of the United States; for it is from rich people where Hillary gets her millions of dollars---without having to work a real job for a living; for she has learned that it is easier to live on the money of others instead of working for a paycheck.  And she likes that.
   Hillary Clinton has achieved two goals in her lifetime:  fortune and fame.  Now that she has both, she wants to continue to have more of the same.  For she has never believed that she should be a worker in the field, sweating and gathering crops to be sold at the market.
   Meanwhile, Hillary keeps her sheeples believing that they, too, will receive money from rich people as soon as Hillary takes more money out of the pockets of the rich and shares it with them; for they actually believe that Hillary is a caring and sharing person. 
   Hillary's sheeples believe, like she wants them to believe, that rich people should be punished  for accumulating wealth.  For it is just not fair---NOT FAIR!---that rich people are rich and that they are poor.
   Hillary's sheeples also believe that they should receive a free college education.  After all, it was Hillary who told them they should, and they, of course, believe every word that proceeds from her lips as if they are receiving manna from heaven!
   Hillary's sheeples do not see her as rich, even though she is worth millions, because they see her as a woman---a woman who has had to struggle all of her life in a world ruled and dominated by men, which, to them, is just not fair---NOT FAIR!---that a woman should be punished by men.
   And since a woman has never been President of the United, there is not a person on earth more perfect for the job than Hillary Clinton. 
   Yet Hillary has never had to struggle:  she has always been a politician.  She learned at an early age that politicians never work. They simply arrive at an office desk and get a check for showing up.
    But she also learned that politicians talk, and the politicians that talk the best and are the most persuasive get bigger checks---without having to sweat from working in the fields.
    Rich Democrats know that Hillary will not raise taxes on rich people, and the rich Democrats also know that Hillary's sheeples will not get free money, free college educations, or anything else free.
SOCIALISM:    "a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by people and companies." (Merriam-Webster)
PROPAGANDA:  "ideas or statements that are often false or exaggerated and that are spread in order to help a cause, a political leader, a government, etc." (Merriam-Webster)
ADOLPH HITLER:
   "If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
   For at least thirty years, Hillary's sheeples have been feasting at the table of Hillary's Socialist Propaganda, and her congregation has grown to millions of people, looking for and anticipating, all things free from the hand of Hillary Clinton.
   What could happen, however, if Hillary's people became followers of God instead of following socialist propaganda?
   What could have happened to Germany if the people had been followers of God instead of following Adolph Hitler?

NICODEMUS

 


   "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.  But as man as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  Which were born, not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."  (John 1: 6-13)
   A dark mind is a mind without the Light of Christ, and therefore darkness is the light of a dark mind.
   A dark mind can also be a religious mind where religion appears to be light.
   A dark mind is a place of confusion.
   WHEN THE THRILL IS GONE, THE THRILL IS GONE.
   A dark mind is the dwelling place of sin and evil, for a dark mind will always be in pursuit of sin, which is the pursuit of another thrill; for it is the thrill of sin that delights the souls of dark minds. 
   When morning comes, however, a dark mind awakens to emptiness, for the thrill of yesterday is gone and now he must arise to seek another thrill to delight his soul. Sleep is no more than a time to rest, to recharge his battery.  When he awakens, his mind will search for another thrill, something else to conquer, and to claim his prize of the day.  Each day he lives is just like any other day, and work is no more than a way to gather money to finance his thrills.  But when morning comes, he will awaken again to emptiness, and thus each day is a repeat performance of yesterday, for he is always in search of yesterday's dreams.  He believes that to have friends is to have money, but when his money is gone his friends disappear.
   A dark mind is a selfish mind and he will deceive others in order to achieve his own selfish desires.  He wants his own way as he wants others to do as he wants them to do, for his thrills are for himself and not for others.  He never has time for others because others must have time for him.
   A dark mind is never content.  He must always be doing, always be going, and he never finds rest for his feet.  The thrills are always out there and he must go out and find them.  Preferably, he wants others to delight in his thrills, for lonely people find no thrills in being alone.
   Judas Iscariot was such a man with a dark mind, for the only interest Judas had in life was Judas.  He was a loner, a true rebel, for Judas did not even need others to share in his thrills.
   Jesus, however, gave Judas a chance to be more than Judas knew he could be.  Jesus called Judas to be a disciple, but Judas never became a disciple.  Even though he went to church with Jesus for three years, Judas never found delight in the Light of Christ and his mind remained in darkness.
   How many people are like Judas Iscariot.  How many people go to churches, sit on the pews, hear the Good News of Christ, but they never become disciples of Christ.  They never have good words to say about the Good News of Christ.  To them, church is no more than a religion, and their minds remain a place of darkness because they have never accepted the Light of Christ to abide in their hearts.  Like Judas Iscariot, for all that they appear to be, they are not.
      "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:  the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:  for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
      "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."     (John 3: 1-3)
   Unlike Judas Iscariot, Nicodemus came out of the darkness when he met Jesus face to face.  He was one of the two men to bury the body of Jesus and he became a disciple after the Lord's resurrection.

ANTICHRIST CHURCHES

   If I should unfriend you on Facebook, would you miss me?  Or would you even notice that I am gone?
      "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist."  (2nd John 7)
   If a church is not teaching and preaching the Bible from the pulpit, that church is antichrist. 
  And if a church has never  taught or preached the Bible from the pulpit, that church is antichrist.
      "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."  (Romans 10: 13-15)
   By this we should be able to know and to understand that deceivers enter pulpits and turn the Good News of Christ away from the ears of people.
   We should also be able to see and understand that antichrist people build antichrist churches in order to deceive people from believing in Christ the Lord.
   So then, how many churches has Jesus unfriended, as on Facebook, yet the people have not noticed that the Lord is gone?
   When was the last time you heard Christ preached from a pulpit?
   When was the last time you heard that salvation is in Christ and Christ alone instead of in something antichrist such as water baptism?
   When was the last you heard the return of Christ preached from a pulpit?
   Therefore, if a church does not confess "that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh"  that church is antichrist.  And if a church does not preach the return of Christ that church is also antichrist.
   For if Christ did not come in the flesh, how could He have been born of a woman?  And what would people then say about the Lord's mother, Mary, whom people believe and talk about? 
   But if Christ did not come in the flesh, then He would have never needed an earthly mother:  and therefore there would have never been a need for an woman, named Mary, for people to believe and talk about.
   Is Mary greater than Christ?  Do they believe Mary is a real person and not Christ?
   God forbid!
   For if Christ had not come into the world, people would have never heard about Mary!
   Moreover, did Christ ever say that water baptism is sufficient for the cleansing of sin?
   No, not once.
   But if people believe that water baptism is sufficient for the cleansing of sin, then they are also saying that the death of Christ on a cross was insufficient, or not enough.
   In truth, however, water baptism for sin was never mentioned in churches until after  Christ died on a cross for sin. 
   Therefore, churches that teach water baptism for the cleansing of sin is antichrist, and the pulpits are filled with deceivers.
   Since the Bible is not taught or preached in antichrist churches, this fact alone should tell us that those ministers are teaching the doctrines of men  instead of the doctrine of Christ.
   Not only are antichrist churches antichrist, but they are also antiBible. 
   Antichrist churches do not teach the Bible because the deceiving ministers do not want their congregations to know that the Bible is the word of the Lord.  Neither do they want their congregations to know that Christ is a real person, nor do they want their congregations to know that Christ will return.
   In conclusion, we can say that antichrist churches invented Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny in order to prevent people from talking about Christ at Christmas and at Easter. 
  These fantasy stories were designed to fill the minds of little children, turning them away from the truth of Christ, and what are these little children doing today, now that they are adults with little children?  Are they teaching their kids the Bible, or are they filling the minds of their own children with bedtime stories and fairy tales?

MAKERS OF IMAGES


   Even the enemies of God know the return of Christ is true (though they do not want us to know that they know) while thousands and thousands of people in Christian churches get excited about the return of Santa Claus, yet they have no knowledge about the return of Christ. 
   This is because images of Christ have been captured in the minds of people from portraits, photographs, statues, wood carvings, Christmas or Easter greeting cards, manger scenes, or from a corpse on a bent cross.  Thus they can believe in an image  of Christ in their imaginations, yet not believe that Christ is a real person; for their belief in an image is not the same as believing in Christ not seen, and they are therefore deceived to believe they know Christ simply because they know an image:  for that is all the knowledge of Christ they have been taught to believe, or even allowed to know.
   Furthermore, we know that people will worship the image of Antichrist in the future, which is not something new on the face of the earth:  for people have been worshipping images of idols for thousands of years, and therefore their minds have been conditioned to believe in images.
   Even today, some of the most educated people in the world will enter certain churches and religious institutions and go down on their knees in the presence of images of idols, which represent gods that are not living, nor have ever lived, and gods that have no eyes to see, nor ears to hear.  But because they have been deceived, they believe the images represent living gods.  And this is where they are caught in a double-cross:  they have mixed many images with an image of Christ, which means they do not know the difference between the living God of heaven and idols that have never lived!
   When people have been taught to believe that the Bible is forbidden knowledge, except for the priesthood, then the people are under the spiritual authority of men and not under the authority of God; for they have also been taught to believe that these men in priestly garments are holy men:  and it is to these "holy men" they kneel and not to God.
   Please remember that Judas Iscariot saw the face of Jesus for three years, yet Judas never believed in Christ in his heart even though he had head  knowledge of the Lord.
   So then, will people today believe in Christ just because they see an imaginary face of the Lord on a photograph, or on a portrait, or on a statue chiseled from stone, or a corpse on a bent cross?
   God forbid!
   Even after the Lord's resurrection from death, Jesus said unto Thomas the disciple:
      "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:  blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."  (John 19: 29)
   Therefore, for more than two thousand years, millions of people have come to believe in Christ without seeing His face.
   Once people believe in Christ by faith, then and only then will they believe in the return of Christ, for then they will know that Christ is not an image that has been captured in their imaginations:  at which time they will stop believing that men of the earth are holy men because they will become followers of God instead of followers of men, the makers of images.
      "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"  (2nd Corinthians 10: 5)
