TRUE HOPE TIMES
Presenting The Lord Jesus Christ!
October 28, 2010
Dear Subscriber,

God's still God and God's till Good! 

Well, this is it!  This is the time of the year that puts Christians to the test of their true beliefs, faith and worldview!

No, I am not talking about the election ... I am talking about Halloween!  What?  What are you talking about?

Simple, do true Christians celebrate the holidays of any other religion, do we participate in ANY fashion with the high feast days of the Jewish religion, the Muslim religion, Hindu, Buddhist?  Why not?  Because God's Word demands our faithfulness and spiritual integrity.

Yet, when it comes to Halloween, one of the 4 high sabbath celebrations of the witchcraft religion's calendar, many church people rationalize, debate, justify and become downright belligerent and openly defiant about it, insisting that our children are entitled to have fun just like everyone else!

Why, when God's Word explicitly condemns those who practice witchcraft to death in the Old Testament and in the New Testament God condemns it as a work of the flesh ... why do those who claim to be God's children want to openly identify their families with satan and his worship/service?

It has always amazed me that those who call themselves born again Christians demand to participate in Halloween but when asked why they don't celebrate All Saints Day they reply ... "Why, that's a Catholic holiday and we are not Catholics!"

Just a thought.

As always, be richly blessed in Christ Jesus!

MAKE YOUR ELECTION SURE!

Two years ago the United States, like Israel of old, demanded change and voted for a group of people who promised change without ever clearly stating the change they were going to try to bring about.  And, the U.S. got just what they voted for but not what they wanted!  Or did they?

What we have on Tuesday what amounts to is an opportunity to begin a national repentance movement, beginning with God’s people speaking with the voice of their vote that we want representatives, senators and governors, state and local propositions and measures that are in greater agreement with what GOD says is right.

Following the election, God’s people need to follow up and follow through with an even greater election, one that declares to our Heavenly Father … “We PRAYERFULLY humble ourselves, we seek YOUR face, and we turn from OUR WICKED WAYS please hear from Heaven and HEAL OUR LAND!”

The election on Tuesday may be the greatest opportunity for the people of God to stand up and BEGIN to be counted with and for what God says is right and true!  For the first time in my lifetime (54 years) I see a genuine opportunity to elect those who will actually represent the majority voice of their constituents and since over 50% of Americans claim to be Christians, Christians have the greatest opportunity – perhaps ever – to return our nation to being a Christian nation! 

But more importantly, we will be given a respite, a probation period if you will, to raise righteousness in our nation and for the Body of Christ in America to become that Glorious Bride without spot or blemish for which He is returning!

Whatever happens on Tuesday, at best we will be placed under “Divine Probation” during which we who truly are God’s people had better strive to contend for the Faith of Christ and for being a righteous people … or we will lose the umbrella of protection that our government has been for over 200 years and find ourselves in a final days regime of persecution that perhaps could have been avoided!

Many Blessings!

PROVE ALL THINGS THAT CLAIM TO BE SPIRITUAL!

Have you ever sensed the Holy Spirit is grieved by some of the spectacular, sensational, so-called “revivals” that have “broken out” in various parts of Christendom over the last decade?  The “Laughing Revival” the “Shaking Revival”, the one where people bark and growl like animals … but if you dare to question out loud these “sense arousing” events you get called all kinds of “dirty “ names like heretic hunter or the like?

What has happened to the Scriptural mandate that we PROVE ALL THINGS?  When did God change His mandate making it permissible to accept events and activities on face value?

Jesus and His Apostles warned us from the Gospel of Matthew through The Revelation that deceiving, seducing spirits would invade the Church and deceive IF POSSIBLE the very elect!  (This of course means that it is not possible to deceive the Elect) 

The Lord also warns us “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.”

There is a must read/see series called the Kundalini Warning that every saint should read/watch.  You can see excerpts at the following links and I encourage you to please do so.

But before you do, please understand that this is not in any way denying the TRUE manifestations and ministries of the Holy Spirit!  I am baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost, I live and minister in the manifestations and gifts of the Holy Spirit … but I have also personally seen what is NOT Biblical in the so-called spiritual behavior of other believers and ministers.  I chose and choose to prove all things so that I can hold on to that which is good and abstain from the very appearance of evil!

IS RUSSIA MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE?
Is Russia ever literally mentioned in the bible?

This is a question I have been asking for a while now.  But all we seem to be getting is the same convoluted information.

Everyone points to Ezekiel 38-39 and says "see right there.. Russia."

Well to be honest I see  Meshech ,Tubal, Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, Togarmah.

These are all real places, in fact Meshech ,Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah are all found in Turkey.

Persia is modern day Iran.

Ethiopia is still the same as well as Libya.

But Russia is not named literally.

So why literally name all the other countries involved and then allegorically name Russia?

When you ask the scholars you get something like this…

Ras = Rosh which = Russia because the “T” in Tiras really needs to be dropped off to form Ras so that they can become part of the Table of Nations found in Genesis 10; THEN migrate all the way from the Balkans then to the North of the Black Sea  and then to the Caucasus Mountains. WHICH.. after moving there, they then move to form Russia, Moscow and Tobol'sk which is north of the Balkans area.

Whew!

As we know, many people state that they believe this idea, but to date I still can’t find Russia in the scriptures and they can’t clearly show me it either.

I belive that this all falls under “assumed knowledge.”

Assumed?

I believe that the idea of Russia being  told for over 150+ years has now become doctrine. Everyone "assumes" that Russia is in the bible, but no one can clearly point to it.

Like the story of the king who had no clothes, everyone sees Russia when she is clearly not there. 

So again we ask, where did the whole Russia idea originate from?
