​Pope Francis Warns:’Relationships with Jesus areDangerous and Very Harmful’

Pope Francis Warns:

‘Relationships with Jesus are

Dangerous and Very Harmful’

Head of the Catholic Church caught steering

people away from Jesus Christ.

Pope Francis was caught attempting to turn

his Catholic followers away from Jesus

Christ after he warned them that “having a

personal relationship with Jesus is

dangerous and very harmful”.

Pope Francis warns his flock of loyal

followers to turn away from Jesus Christ

Addressing a crowd of 33,000 devout

pilgrims in Rome, The Pope broke centuries

of Christian tradition by saying that “a

personal, direct, immediate relationship with

Jesus Christ” must be avoided.

Pope Francis recently told the Italian

newspaper La Repubblica that the United

States of America has “a distorted vision of

the world” and that US citizens must be

placed under the rule of a one world

government, “for their own good” , as soon as

possible.

The head of the Vatican also called for “a

one world government” and “political

authority” , arguing that creating a single

world government is necessary to combat

major issues such as “climate change.”

In comments he made during an interview

with Ecuador’s El Universo newspaper, the

Pope said that the UN doesn’t have enough

power and must be granted full

governmental control “for the good of

humanity.”

The process of transitioning the world into a

global government and the globalization

movement shouldn’t be underestimated as it

erodes the rights of the individual. World

religious leaders, led by the increasingly

anti-Christian Pope Francis, are playing their

part in this great deception.

Working along side the political Elite , the

world’s religious leaders, led by the

increasingly anti-Christian Pope Francis, are

playing their part in this great deception.

Before he died, globalist David Rockefeller

famously said that a “global crisis” would

have to occur before the people of the world

would be willing to accept the New World

Order.

Following the dramatic economic crash in

2008, world leaders again proclaimed the

need for a New World Order with global

financial control over a single currency and

a one-world bank .

As Pope Francis has so clearly

demonstrated, global warming and the

climate change hoax is now the global elite’s

preferred method of scaremongering, as they

attempt to shepherd humanity closer to

unified totalitarian rule.

The pontiff who held Islamic prayers in the

Vatican, and later warned his followers not

to enter into a personal relationship with

Jesus, is an imposter with a sinister agenda

who is determined to steer his flock away

from Jesus.

The Jesuit Pope is a key player in the New

World Order plan, who is determined to

mislead his flock to loyally serve the global

cabal.

Present Thyself Unto Me – Streams in the Desert – September 13
2017Sep 13
Come up in the morning . . . and present thyself unto me in the top of the mount (Exod. 34:2).
The morning is the time fixed for my meeting the Lord. The very word morning is as a cluster of rich grapes. Let us crush them, and drink the sacred wine. In the morning! Then God means me to be at my best in strength and hope. I have not to climb in my weakness. In the night I have buried yesterday’s fatigue, and in the morning take a new lease of energy. Blessed is the day whose morning is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory was won in prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of the mount!
My Father, I am coming. Nothing on the mean plain shall keep me away from the holy heights. At Thy bidding I come, so Thou wilt meet me. Morning on the mount! It will make me strong and glad all the rest of the day so well begun.

–Joseph Parker
Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,

When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;

Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,

Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee.

Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows,

The solemn hush of nature newly born;

Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,

In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
As in the dawning o’er the waveless ocean,

The image of the morning-star doth rest,

So in this stillness, Thou beholdest only

Thine image in the waters of my breast.

When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,

Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer;

Sweet the repose, beneath Thy wings o’er shadowing,

But sweeter still to wake and find Thee there.

–Harriet Beecher Stowe
My mother’s habit was every day, immediately after breakfast, to withdraw for an hour to her own room, and to spend that hour in reading the Bible, in meditation and prayer. From that hour, as from a pure fountain, she drew the strength and sweetness which enabled her to fulfill all her duties, and to remain unruffled by the worries and pettinesses which are so often the trial of narrow neighborhoods.
As I think of her life, and all it had to bear, I see the absolute triumph of Christian grace in the lovely ideal of a Christian lady. I never saw her temper disturbed; I never heard her speak one word of anger, of calumny, or of idle gossip; I never observed in her any sign of a single sentiment unbecoming to a soul which had drunk of the river of the water of life, and which had fed upon manna in the barren wilderness.

–Farrar
Give God the blossom of the day. Do not put Him off with faded leaves.

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4
   
True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again.
Surrender for Deliverance. “Come to Me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). It is only after we have begun to experience what salvation really means that we surrender our will to Jesus for rest. Whatever is causing us a sense of uncertainty is actually a call to our will— “Come to Me.” And it is a voluntary coming.
Surrender for Devotion. “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24). The surrender here is of my self to Jesus, with His rest at the heart of my being. He says, “If you want to be My disciple, you must give up your right to yourself to Me.” And once this is done, the remainder of your life will exhibit nothing but the evidence of this surrender, and you never need to be concerned again with what the future may hold for you. Whatever your circumstances may be, Jesus is totally sufficient (see 2 Corinthians 12:9 andPhilippians 4:19).
Surrender for Death. “…another will gird you…” (John 21:18; also see John 21:19). Have you learned what it means to be girded for death? Beware of some surrender that you make to God in an ecstatic moment in your life, because you are apt to take it back again. True surrender is a matter of being “united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death” (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him.
And after you surrender— then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Am I learning how to use my Bible? The way to become complete for the Master’s service is to be well soaked in the Bible; some of us only exploit certain passages. Our Lord wants to give us continuous instruction out of His word; continuous instruction turns hearers into disciples.  Approved Unto God, 11 L

“We have much to say about this, but it is

HARD to make it CLEAR to you because YOU

no longer TRY to UNDERSTAND. You have

been believers SO LONG NOW that you

OUGHT to be teaching others. Instead, you

need someone to teach you AGAIN the BASIC

THINGS about God’s Word. You are like

BABIES who need MILK and CANNOT eat

SOLID FOOD. For someone who LIVES on

milk is STILL an INFANT and doesn’t know

how to DO what is RIGHT” Heb. 5:12:13

There is nothing wrong with MILK! Peter

reminds us all “..as NEWBORN babes, desire

the PURE MILK of the Word, that you may

GROW thereby” 1 Peter 2:2

There is nothing more delightful than a true

babe in Jesus! But, frankly there are few

things that can be more irritating (and a

great hindrance to a local body) than

someone who should be mature, but who is

still a babe,,,because they no LONGER TRY

to UNDERSTAND the BASIC PRINCIPLES of

the Word; so that they may stop ‘crawling’

and learn what it truly means to WALK in the

Spirit!

Are you still a babe? Perhaps your Christian

life is unstable. Babies are handed from one

person to another, and spiritual babes are

tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine!

(Ephesians 4:14-16).

Are you still a babe? Perhaps you are star-

struck by Christian celebrities of one kind or

another. Babies are focused on one particular

person (their mother), and spiritual babes

glory in men (I am of Paul, I am of Apollos,

as in 1 Corinthians 1:12).

Are you still a babe? Perhaps you are

spiritually asleep. Babies need a lot of sleep,

and spiritual babes spend much time

spiritually asleep!

Are you still a babe? Perhaps you are fussy

and cranky with others. Babies can be

cranky, and spiritual babes will fuss over any

little thing! (D. Gusik)

Knowing God In The Valleys

“But I will sing of your power;

Yes, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the

morning,

for you have been my defense

and refuge in the day of my trouble.

To you, O my Strength, I will sing praises,

for God is my defense,

my God of mercy.”

Psalm 59:16-17

I think back to the times of greatest growth

in my life, and those were consistently the

darkest times of my life. Those are the times

when we experience the Lord in ways more

personal and more deeply than at any other

times in life. Indeed he is as the psalmist

wrote, “a very present help in trouble.” Jesus

has promised us that he will NEVER leave us

or forsake us, therefore let us cling closely to

him in the dark days.

I look to the apostle Paul who sat in a dark

and dank dungeon, his back bloodied after

being severely whipped, yet the depth of the

faith he had – enabled him to rise above it:

“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying

and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners

were listening to them. Suddenly there was a

great earthquake, so that the foundations of

the prison were shaken;” Acts 16:25-26

For years I’ve wondered on that Scripture,

trying to understand how this man could be

singing praises to God in the pain and

suffering he was enduring. An important point

is to be made here, too. As Paul sang praises

to God in his pain, there was an earthquake

and it resulted in all present being saved. To

arise to that level of faith is the model I

aspire to and hope to achieve before my

journey is over.

It’s wonderful to be on the glorious mountain

tops, but our experience of God is the most

personal in the dark valleys. There we learn

who he really is and there his love for us is

most personally revealed.

Take Comfort in Christ

Are there any among you who have tasted of this blessed change—who have put off the old man which is corrupt, and put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness—who mourn over your own daily shortcomings, and sigh after more holiness, more self-denial, more mortification of the flesh with all its lusts? We bid you take comfort, and remember that Christ is still the same: He called you and gave you the witness of the Spirit, and He will not forsake you. You may waver and tremble: go forward in faith, and He will still support you. ~ J.C. Ryle

​Stephen ThomasYahweh (Lord, Jehovah)

Stephen Thomas

Yahweh (Lord, Jehovah)

First seen in Genesis 2:4 – Used 6519 times in the Bible

Yahweh is the promised proper name of God. It means Lord and Master. By Jewish tradition this name is too holy to pronounce or write. Therefore they just wrote four letters without any vowels: YHWH. Jews stopped saying the name all together in the third century AD. They stopped saying this name because they were afraid of violating the fourth commandment that prohibits misusing, or taking the Lord’s name in vain. Therefore scholars today don’t know for sure if the original pronunciation was Yahweh or Jehovah.

Tradition follows the convention used in the King James Version which translates YHWH by itself as Lord with a capital L and small capital letters for the rest of the word. This is done to set it apart from other uses of the word lord. Then whenever YHWH occurs as a compound name with other words the translators use the word Jehovah instead.

9. The Word of God

1 Thessalonians 4:15, “For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death].”

What Paul says here is not his own opinion or something he has heard from others. It is part of what the Lord Himself revealed to Paul. He says it on the basis of “the word of the Lord”. We can, therefore, accept with great confidence that there will be an event where those who slept in Christ will rise up first.

This is a different resurrection than the Jews knew about at that time. This is not the resurrection where people will be allowed into the kingdom on earth, but the resurrection where the Lord will come and get His children. Those who would be left alive will then be changed to meet the Lord in the air. The hope of Israel and the hope of Christians are different in this regard. The Lord will come and get His children before the time of terror on earth will commence. Those who are left behind are those who will be exposed to the “sudden destruction” that will take place on earth written about in 1 Thessalonians 5.

The rapture is, therefore, a clear promise made to us by the word of the Lord.

10. The Trumpet Will Sound

1 Thessalonians 4:16, “For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”

Who will rise at the rapture? Those who died in Christ. This is not the same as at the end of Revelation 20. There, the unbelievers will be sentenced by the end of the 1000 years. It is also not the same as that in Matthew 25 where the sheep and the goats will be separated. Here, believers and unbelievers will not be judged together. Only those who died in Christ will rise.

We really do not know who will be able to hear the trumpets when they sound. Perhaps everyone or maybe only those who will rise from the dead. We also do not know whether the rapture will happen in secret or whether everyone will know. But we do know that it will take place because it is written in “the word of the Lord” and we also know that it will be before the tribulation and the appearance of the antichrist because the latter is described in 1 Thessalonians 5 for those who will stay behind.

Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour today. Do not delay. Do not miss this great day and then end up in Tribulation with the antichrist.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” –Isaiah 40:28-31
