View MoreCONCERNING THE ASTONISHING LACK OF DISCERNMENT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THESE LAST DAYS When I was a child and even as a young man, I didn't have such good eating habits. Like most people, all I cared about was whether food tasted good or not --- until the day came when those bad habits finally caught up with me and my health began to self-destruct. Then, in an effort to save myself, I became a health fanatic and, lo and behold, my body IMMEDIATELY responded. It IMMEDIATELY forgave the multitude of sins committed against it, my health returned in spades --- and the terminal illness that was oppressing me disappeared. This is a perfect analogy of what I see happening in the so-called Church today --- 99.9% of which is in a very bad state of health. This is because of the "fake food" and the "health destroying food" (spiritually speaking) that the itchy eared 99.9% are taking in. The standard American diet is a thing of nightmares. All people care about is "Can I stick it in my mouth". The fact that they are consuming upwards of 20,000 chemicals, vein clogging fats, disease-feeding sugars, processed and artificial foods is absolutely of no concern to them. And so it is with the dead Church of these last days. There is truly an astonishing lack of discernment that is plaguing us. I know supposed Christians that if I were to say that they have no discernment, it would actually be a compliment. The fact is that they are so lacking in discernment that they actually OWE points. In other words, they are in the NEGATIVE category in the extreme. They have become virtually psychotic in regards to what is of God and what is not. Long many years ago before I ever even thought about coming to the Lord, I was involved in the drug culture. I became involved in a New Age cult, I experimented a little with psycho-cybernetics and eventually Spiritualism --- all extraordinarily dangerous works of Satan. The only thing I never tried was outright Satanism --- though they did try to recruit me a couple of times. Some of my best friends became Satanists though. So I knew MANY people who were --- one way or another --- firmly and actively entrenched in Satan's camp. But I never met so much as ONE of them (with the exception of those who practiced Kundalini Yoga) who were anything even CLOSE to being as downright psychotic (and I am using that word quite intentionally) as I have witnessed in the so-called Christian community over these long many years since coming to Christ. This is what comes from a lack of discernment. This is what comes from using hyper-emotionalism as a thinking process in lieu of the reasoning of a sound mind. It's like living in a dream state of unreality. When one is dreaming, everything makes sense --- no matter how insane it actually is. This is what zero and especially negative discernment is like. It is potentially quite dangerous and schizophrenic. What God's will is for such people's lives is merely something they have manufactured out of the imagination of their own hearts. This is how people become prey to various cults. This is how they become prey to every wind of doctrine. Then we wonder why we are crushed under the weight of this burden THAT WE HAVE MANUFACTURED FOR OURSELVES. That's why Jesus said to choose the NARROW way. Unfortunately, the narrow way goes 100% against the flesh and MY will --- and few there be who find it. It is a message no one wants to hear. The only other option is to dance with the devil. And that is exactly what the 99.9% are doing. I find it to be very interesting indeed to note that the most insane among us --- the ones Satan concentrates on the most (besides those who have become demonically possessed by way of Kundalini or Satanism) --- are professing Christians. (An extreme example of this is certainly the kind of hellish nonsense we saw with some of the manifestations like the Laughing Phenomenon. Kenneth Hagin and Paula White also come readily to mind.) Of course, I am certainly not referring to all professing Christians. Most of the 99.9% are merely just a bunch of lackadaisical Laodiceans --- but who are, nevertheless, wide open for deception. But far too many have been staring unwittingly into the glittering trinket-filled abyss and are being drawn in. This is why discernment is so desperately needed in this time as we walk through the minefield of cults disguised as Christianity (and I include ALL of the so-called television ministries out there, by the way) as we walk into these last of the last days. There is a saying that goes, "Common sense ain't common." This is very true. Discernment is like that. It's largely just common sense that is enhanced by the Spirit. It's not that terribly complicated. A very sad state of affairs indeed at this very late hour. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. "And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables." (literally, myths, fantasies). (II Tim.4:3-4) "For of this sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women" (and silly men, if I may say so) "led away with various lusts, "Ever learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth." (II Tim.3:6-7) "Also of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things TO DRAW DISCIPLES AFTER THEM." (Acts 20:30) "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. "And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. "Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works." (II Cor. 11:13-15) "Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith" (whether they know it or not) "giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils." (I Tim.4:1) "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses" (literally, ensnarements) "contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them. "For they are such that serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple" (literally, the unsuspecting). (Rom.16:17-18) "And they shall say to you, 'See here', or 'See there'. Go not after them nor follow them." (Luke 17:23) "Enter in at the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be who go in that way. "Because narrow is the gate and narrow is the way which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."(Mat.7:13-15) "Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and LEARN OF ME, for I am meek and lowly in heart. And you shall find rest unto your souls. "For My yoke" (which is the law of love) "is easy and My burden is light." (Mat.11:28-30)

A question, that smacked me square in the face the other day: If the scriptures say "...there is ONE name by which we must be saved.." Why pray tell, do different nationalities call Him by different names? I had done a quick study of the name Jesus before. Years ago when internet had just started before the police state was so intense. And I had found that many centuries after the resurrection, the Roman Papacy was the one to change His name to Jesus because the correct English translation of His name(Iesous) in Greek texts was Joshua. They deemed it a common name, too common for deity. They transformed Iesous to Jesus. And ruled that anyone translating using any name other than Jesus would be put to death. I can no longer find this information online, since the whitewashing of the internet. Now we mostly see history through the lense of the elite rather than the elect...to fit the agenda. But when I was a teen in youth group, before computers, I remember being taught that the name of Jesus in Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew all meant exactly the same thing: Joshua: YHVH IS SALVATION. When you go back to actual books and look in the concordance, for Joshua, you find Yhowshua,(more modernly known as Yehoshua) in the Hebrew (#H3091), Yeshua, in the Aramaic(a different dialect of hebrew, which many say Christ spoke #H3443, and Iesous, in the Greek(#G2424). Yoseph, (Joseph) was a Jew, as was Mary. Both their lineages stems back to the house of David. They were told to name the child (in the Hebrew manuscripts) "Yhowshua"; (in the Greek manuscripts) "Iesous". It is very interesting to me that Isaiah was told they will call Him "Immanuel" #H6005; also translated in the Greek as "Immanuel" #G1694. So, Again I ask the question: If there is only ONE NAME by which we can be saved, which name is it? Why is Immanuel the only name that crosses barriers of language unchanged, I typed in the name Immanuel in my translator app. I randomly chose several different languages, some I never heard of! They ALL translate to IMMANUEL ...some spelt with one m, but when SPOKEN, sounds the same! This is amazing to me! Stunning! There are many versions of the Bible, many twisted versions. But one name stays the same in them ALL and that name is Immanuel! And grossly ignored by the masses, I might add. Immanuel means, "God with us". Yhowshua said He would send the Comforter to us. The Ruach Ha' Ko'desh. And the Comforter could not come unless Yhowshua left. Why? I believe it's because He was the embodiment of the Ruach Ha' Ko'desh Whom was implanted into Mary's womb by the Father, becoming "God with us" or "Immanuel". Thoughts, anyone?

I do acknowledge Acts 4:10-12. But also acknowledge that in Matthew, when Yoseph was told to name Him Yhowshua, it was a fulfillment of the prophecy by Isaiah that they would call Him Immanuel. Matthew 1:23; Isaiah 7:14.

View MoreConcerning Dr. Brenda Engram Salter, who will be at the Kingdom Seekers Network Revival Conference on March 20. I don’t know what version of the Bible she reads, but she is teaching that Job 22:23-28 is telling us that if we decree a thing, it shall come to pass; and to do so we should keep iniquity away from the tabernacle and then you shall lay up gold as dust and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. And the God of gold and silver will keep our bank account full. This is hogwash! False doctrine! That is not what the Hebrew says! It says this: “If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; if you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, AND PLACE your gold in the dust, AND Ophir amongst the stones of the brooks. THEN the ALMIGHTY WILL BE YOUR GOLD AND CHOICE SILVER TO YOU.” See, this is why I’m always saying do not trust the modern day translation. Always go back and check everything against the original Hebrew words. And let the Holy Spirit be your teacher, not some prosperity teacher! I don’t care how many doctorates they have! Get your wisdom from the Almighty! The Word teaches us through Paul that it is our duty to speak up about those who are teaching false doctrine. See 1 Timothy 6:3-5 . But I strongly recommend you seek out the original Greek on this. Some bible versions deleted the part at the end that states, “Withdraw from those of such a kind.” We really must be careful to examine everything closely. The devil knows the scriptures better than we do. And he loves to twist it just enough to make unsuspecting people believe the lie. You must combat false doctrine with scripture. Just as our Lord did. He set the example. Let us learn from His example. Some people say we should not say anything, because it causes discord. That we can simply choose not to listen to that particular preacher. But the Lord said I’d we see the enemy coming and we blow not the trumpet, we are guilty of the blood that is shed. Ezekiel 33:6. So, I’m officially blowing the trumpet to warn those who will listen! Dr. Brenda Engram Salter is teaching false doctrine. Whether she realizes it or not, in another thing entirely. I have tried to message her concerning the original Hebrew text of these verses. No response yet. But if she has not examined the Hebrew text in all her advanced doctorate studies, I shiver to think of what might have been the cornerstone of her pastoral learning. I have yet to look into the other people speaking at that conference. But, I’ve learned enough, by researching dr. Salter, to know I do not want to attend. In fact, Scripture teaches that any true Christian is to “Withdraw from those of such a kind”. 1 Tim 6:5(last sentence)Original Greek version.
