WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?

December 16, 2011June 15, 2013 | Jeanette

Today our message from God is:

WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?

This is the question of the ages.

Our Scripture reading for today is:

Deuteromony 18:9-14 ,Isaiah 41:21-23,17,18

Future is defined this way = That which is beyond the present.

Many spend millions to find out their future.

Physic hot-lines and fortune tellers are paid thousands upon thousands of dollars each year.

Are you seeking to know your future?

Well, believe me, I know Who holds my future.

If these fortune tellers and these Physics know all the answers, why are they still working the phones, and live in houses of menial costs?

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

One of the most sought-out physics gives their report every year of what is going to happen the next year.

Why do they keep missing it, and people still inquire of them?

Good question.

A famous President’s wife consulted a physic for her husband while he was still in the White House. It was said, after he was shot, she sought the help of a physic before accepting any outside appearances.

The Scriptures are completely against any use of physic powers.

I talked to a palm reader one day and she was so deceived: she told me her powers came from God, and she wanted to help people.

I was not able to get her to understand, God would never give powers to anyone, that would go against His precious Word.

The Bible calls them Sorcerers which is defined as supposed possessors of supernatural powers.

They used, what the Bible calls, Divination, which is defined as an attempt to foretell the future by occult (or secret) means.

Divination is an abomination (evil practice) to God. Look at Deuteronomy 18:9-14 —-When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of these nations.

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination (or fortune telling or channeling [interpretation of omens] , or an observer of times (which includes Horoscopes and also, I believe, Almanacs), or an enchanter (magician, wizard, witch ), or a witch (sorceress or enchantress),

Or a charmer (conjurer or shaman [medicine man, witch doctor]) or a consulter with familiar spirits (these are generational demons, that follow a family from generation to generation, and can give information to the one practicing such powers, so that they can fool the one who is desiring to hear from their dead loved one. They think they are actually speaking to their loved one. To me, this is the sickest of all deceptions of this line, because the people seeking to hear from their loved ones are experiencing grief and loss, and are so venerable to these deceptions.), or a wizard (a seer, diviner, charmer, and the list goes on), or a necromancer (one who inquires of the dead).

For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them doth drive them out from before thee.

Thou shalt be perfect (entirely obedient, upright, sincere) with the Lord, thy God.

This also includes all secret orders, which are occults. If you don’t believe me look up occult in the dictionary

I want you to know, we can put our future into the hands of our heavenly Father, who knows our past, present and future. He wipes away all our past when we come to Him, and can reveal to us His future plans that always come to pass. Only God knows the future. Listen to this word from the Bible:

Isaiah 41:21-24 —-Produce your cause, saith the Lord; (or Set forth your plans) bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

Let them bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former (or past) things what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end (or the present)of them; or declare us things for to come.

Show us the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

Behold, ye are of nothing (or of no account), and your work of naught (or amounts to nothing): an abomination (detestable) is he that chooseth you.

God is saying, “Let your idols come and show what they can do. Let them try to tell us what occurred in years gone by, or what the future holds. If you are gods, tell what will happen in the days ahead! Or do some mighty miracle that makes us stand amazed.

But no! You are less than nothing, and can do nothing at all. Anyone who chooses you needs to have his head examined!”

God is unhappy to say the least with His people who have gotten off into idolatry. He was mimicking their idol gods to their face.

Many cultures worship and look to for their future to idol gods that cannot speak or hear. It is sad when people, intelligent people, follow after a deaf and dumb idol god, which is a waste of their time.

They should turn to the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, and is God, who came in the flesh and died on Calvary for all sinners, who are into any of these occults and witchcraft, thinking themselves so smart, they loose sight of the truth.

Jesus said in John 14:6 —-…I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father,but by Me.

Jehovah God is the only True and Living God, who knows and reveals the future.

You might ask, “Has God, the True and Living God, ever told you the future?

Well, I’m glad you asked that question. “Yes, more than once”.

I want to share with you one of them:

We go on missions trips twice a year, to different countries. Most of our trips are to the Dominican Republic.

On one of these trips we became burdened about an Orphanage in San Juan de la Maguana. There was no water there but a polluted river a few miles up the road from the orphanage. Most of the time they had to carry containers, on the back of a small truck, to the town of San Juan to get water. By the time they got back, much of the water was spilled because of the bumpy roads and holes in the road. We began to pray for good water for these children. You see, they live in the desert area.

One day, as I was praying with a friend at my home, God gave me a verse of Scripture. I cried as I read it. I knew that I knew it was God speaking to me. The Scripture is also found in Isaiah 41. Read it with me. Verses 17 and 18 —-When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

I shared this with my husband, and he agreed, this was from God.

We knew we had to drill a well for those orphans.

Later, a couple of godly men we know well, said, Roy it’s time we raised money for that well.

We, along with many of our friends raised $10,000.00 and shortly after, made our plane reservations to go. There was one American driller on the Island, who agreed to stop what he was doing in the Capitol and come to San Juan. God is a God of humor, because He sent with the driller a geologist form Purdue University, who was visiting on the Island.

Before we left home, the Lord spoke to my husband and said, “Don’t speak anything negative about that well, speak positive.”

My husband explained this to the whole group that was going, and all agreed.

You should have seen the children, when those big trucks drove up on the grounds. They were so excited, we had to draw an imaginary line for them not to cross for their own safety. You know how children are.

The Geologist told my husband, “You won’ find any water here, the soil is not right”.

Roy told the man to drill anyway, we’ve heard from God, you will find water.

We had hired three men in town who just happened to be walking down the street with picks in their hands. Believe me I have been saved since I was five years old, and I know there are no coincidences in the lives of a Christian, especially those on a mission.

They diggers began to dig a long ditch that would lead from the orphanage to the location where they were drilling.

The well driller told my husband, “You’ll have a nice ditch, but you won’t find any water.”

They drilled 277 feet and the driller told the group to give up. It was costing $25.00 a foot to drill and they had already gone down farther than they should and ran out of drill rod.

My husband knew what God said, so he asked the man if he had anymore drill rod on the island. He said, “In Puerta Plata’.

Roy said, “Go get it.” When they came back with the rod our trip schedule was coming close to the end and we were all keeping our mouths shut to keep from saying any thing negative. My stomach was hurting and I think my husband was close to getting sick. You see, if we didn’t get water, we were going to have to go home and face the people who worked so hard to raise the money, those who gave, and not to mention those, over sixty, little boys.

Before they began to drill again, they said they would have to clean out the hole.

I know nothing about drilling a well, so I asked the driller if the water would spew-up like a fountain, like those oil wells in the movies?

He said, “No. That’s only in the movies”.

I got out of the way, by this time, the children and others, formed a big circle of prayer and asked God to put water in the hole.

Many of the surrounding villagers heard what was going on, and you know how news travels, so they were gathered around to watch.

When they put the thing in with a light on it, they found out the hole had caved-in. They went down to clean it out, and at about 37 feet, the water began to spew-out, Just like the movies.

I was so excited!

Everyone was cheering and praising God.

And the droller and the Geologist, who was examining soil every so many feet and showing us it was impossible for water to there, were so amazed.

One of them, who was a backslider, said he was going back to Church. God made a believer out of them.

The word got around the San Juan area, that a group of crazy evangelicals had found water in the desert.

But we know who holds the future, and we know who holds our hand.

As the old song goes, something like this:

Many things about tomorrow,

I don’t seem to understand.

I just know who holds the future,

And I know, Who holds my hand.

Tell me, how can a person, who has seen many miracles, ever fall into the trap of the devil, and get involved in things are not even real?

Every other power, but God’s, is false, and will lead you into a place were there is no peace, and nothing but bondage and a future you will wish you never experienced.

Come to Jesus, Repeat this prayer with me. Mean it in your heart:

Jesus, come into my heart, save my soul. I‘m sorry I had it my way. Please forgive me of my sins.

Now, I want it Your way. I believe Jesus is the Son of God. I believe He died for my sins, and rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of God. I accept You, Lord, as my Lord and Savior.

Thank You for saving me.

Now, for those who were involved in demonic practices, repeat this prayer:

Jesus, I denounce all witchcraft in my life. Deliver me from every stronghold. I apply the blood of Jesus over me and my family.

Satan, you have no part of me. I belong to God from this day forth. I speak this with my mouth, and I believe it in my heart.

I love You Jesus.

Now, it is very important for you to get in a Bible believing Church.

Don’t look for a perfect one, you won’t find it.

Read your Bible everyday and make Jesus your best friend.

Talk to God in the name of Jesus.

He will hear You.

THE FORCES OF EVIL/HOW THEY WORK

December 8, 2011June 15, 2013 | Jeanette

Evil began with Satan. With Adam, sin entered into the world.

Most Christians know this,
but there are things we must understand about our enemy, that keeps us from
being the best we can for God.

Satan uses demons, and shows
up himself, at times, as we are in the
process of developing in our
relationship with God.

I don’t mean he can be
everywhere at all times like God, but his demons are dispatched by him to
follow us around, to see if we will open the door for them to enter.

By this, I mean when we get
in the flesh, or look back to the world, we can take a back-step into what we
used to be before salvation, and be tempted to turn back to our old carnal
ways.

Why do you think God’s
ministers backslide?

Most of the time, it is
because they get so involved in God’s work,

they don’t make time to
spend with the God they serve.

Why do you think so many of
these occult religions get as far as they do?
They pray many times a day to their false god, which opens the door for
Satan to increase their growth, and spread their doctrines of error.

Evil will continue until the
end of the Church age, then it will become more furious during Jacob’s: The
Great Tribulation period of seven years, and will appear again, for a short
time, at the end of the millennial reign
of Christ.

We as Christians, should
guard against, or be watchmen, confronting
evil.

Surprisingly enough, sometimes, we as Christians, can be
influenced by Satan, to do his work.

How?

Hearts of
unbelief – Hebrews 3:12,13 —-Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the Living God.

But exhort one another daily, while
it is called today; lest any of

you be hardened through the deceitfulness
of sin.

Some begin to wander off
from the work of God, and God Himself, when the fiery trials come. They might get criticized for they way we do
things, and become despondent and loose
their vision, instead of turning it over to God.

Fear could arise, and they
might never start what God has called them to do. I have even seen people who are called to do
something, but try to influence someone else to do it, so they can be a part of
it, and they won’t have that responsibility on themselves. It never works, and the other person becomes
troubled and out of place, and ultimately out of the will of God. It won’t stand the test.

On the other hand, in the
body of Christ, we are commissioned to submit to authority. A person who is called to do a work, has authority over others under them. From the pastor, all the way down, we have to
submit to someone.

Every ministry that is
involved with a Church, has the responsibility of answering to the
leadership. If we can’t learn to follow,
we will never be successful leaders.

Moses had a problem like
this, but God quickly handled the problem; but people’s lives were lost in the
process. (Numbers 16:1-3) – Look at verse 3 —-And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said
unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy,
every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up
yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?

Or, “Moses and Aaron, What
right do you have to put yourselves forward, claiming that we must obey you,
and acting as though you were greater than anyone else among all these people
of the Lord?

Now, look at verse 28,31-33
—-And Moses said, hereby ye shall know
that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of
my own mind.

And it came to pass, as he had made an
end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under
them:

And the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained (or related) unto Korah, and all
their goods.

They, and all that appertained unto
them, went down alive into the pit, and
the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

And Verse 34 states, All of
the people fled at their screams, fearing that the earth would swallow them up
too.

Have you noticed when people
come against leadership, how their whole family is affected?

They pray and pray, their
loved ones come to Church, get saved, and are growing in the Lord. (which, by
the way in itself, makes Satan and his demons mad) Soon they see
something they question about what the leadership is doing; they call a
family meeting, discuss it, and soon their family drops out of
Church, backslides, and they blame the Church? I’ve seen this over and over again. —-
Korah and his house were destroyed, as well as those who conspired with them.

The leaders are
responsible for the decisions they make.

It is not up to us to
straighten them out verbally, we are to pray for them.

Also, if you are not wearing
their shoes you have no right to judge them.

God called them to that
position. Most of the time, they are
following the leadership of the Lord, and they could know something you
don’t know.

When we serve the Lord with
all our hearts, the trials will come to try to stop God’s work. I have found, through experience, this is
when God is getting ready to do something great in that work.

Stay where you are, pray,
AND DON’T GIVE UP ON THE BRINK OF A MIRACLE.

We can be used unknowingly
in Satan’s plan: which is always trying to stop the work of God.

You wonder why you pray,
pray, pray, and can’t get peace?

Maybe you need to repent and
ask your family to forgive you for getting out of your place. We are not God,
we can’t control people.

You might ask me how I know
all this.

Well I’m sorry to say, I was
involved in something like this myself on two occasions of my life. When I understood, I repented.

But that didn’t keep me from
reaping what I sowed.

People of God, it is important
to me, to instruct you in how not
to fall into this trap of Satan.

There are no “Lone Rangers”
in the body of Christ, everyone is connected to someone.

We should be on guard and
stay out of things that could cause us to be influenced. How do the forces of evil influence us?

In our
thought life —- 1 Corinthians 13:4,5
—- Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not

easily provoked, thinketh no evil (or we could say, is not ready to

suspect evil).

We see here,
devices that Satan uses, that could cause us to think evil of someone:

1- Lack of
love

2- Lack of
patience

3- Lack of
kindness

4- Envy (or
jealousy or rivalry)

5- The pushing
of self forward

6- Pride

7-
Inappropriate behavior

8-
Self-seeking

9-
Being easily provoked

10- I call these The Nine Rotten Fruit of Evil.

All of which,
manifest in someone who is ready to think or suspect evil of others.

Believe me,
these are things that should not, but do, operate at times in the body
of Christ.

We are told in
Romans 12:21 to …Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome (or Conquer) evil with
good.

In the very
next chapter, Chapter 13 we are instructed to honor authority.

These are
things the devil doesn’t want us to know that keeps us from being the best
followers of Christ we can be.

Evil Forces
Influence Us Through Our Companionships 1 Corinthians
15:33 —-Be not deceived: evil
communications (or companionships)corrupt
good manners.

Have you ever
noticed how, when you get around some people, even in the body of Christ, there
is a spirit of criticism that enters the conversation?

Before we know
it, we enter into the gossip without even meaning too; and we feel so
convicted afterwards; and wonder how we allowed ourselves to get involved.

In Proverbs
6:16-19, we are introduced to seven things that are an abomination unto the
Lord, which is called Seven Deadly Sins.

Let’s read it
—-These six things doth the Lord hate;
yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:

a proud
look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart
that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in

running to mischief,

a false
witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord

among the brethren.

Wow! God hates them, and they are an abomination (or loathsome
and wickedness) to him.

The sowing of
discord among the brethren causes more trouble in the Church than sinners or
demons on the outside.

The Church of
Jesus Christ needs revival, and a time of repentance.

This evil is
what the world and the Church are guilty of.
We see every day where there is a misuse of money in both.

Does the Word
say money is evil?

No. Look at 1 Timothy 6:10 —-For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after (or were
greedy about), they have erred (or
turned away) from the faith, and pierced
themselves (to torture one’s soul)
through with many sorrows.

It is the love
of money; that-is the putting of money before God.

God calls
evil, putting money and what you want, before Him and His work. He calls the love of money the root of all
evil.

Think about
it, what seems to be number one on the mind of the world, and also, I’m ashamed
to say, on the mind of much of the Church?
MONEY!

Money is not evil;
it is used by God to do good for His children and those in need.

It takes
money, to send the Gospel around the world.

It takes money
to live.

But, Church,
our dependency is to be focused on God.
He is the supernatural God who supplies all our needs and also gives us
the desires of our hearts. Our money may
fail, but God will never fail us.

The apostle
Paul does not condemn the possession of riches: they are only evil where they
are badly used. Neither does he speak against rich men: for he would condemn
such men as Abraham, and Joseph of Armethea who used their wealth
righteously. He condemns the haste to be
rich.

The rich must
not put their trust in their wealth, but put their trust in God, and their
focus on the treasures that have eternal value.

There is much
more I could go into about The Forces of Evil and How They Work, but time won’t
permit today.

We will stay
away from the evil one, if we set ourselves to live in the Word, and God’s
Spirit. ——– Until next week.

THE FORCES OF EVIL AND HOW THEY WORK

October 12, 2011June 16, 2013 | Jeanette

EVIL BEGAN WITH SATAN. WITH ADAM, SIN ENTERED INTO THE WORLD. MOST CHRISTIANS KNOW THIS, BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR ENEMY, THAT KEEPS US FROM BEING THE BEST WE CAN FOR GOD. SATAN USES DEMONS, AND SHOWS UP HIMSELF, AT TIMES, AS WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

I DON’T MEAN HE CAN BE EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES LIKE GOD, BUT HIS DEMONS ARE DISPATCHED BY HIM TO FOLLOW US AROUND, TO SEE IF WE WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM TO ENTER.

BY THIS, I MEAN, WHEN WE GET IN THE FLESH,OR LOOK BACK TO THE WORLD, WE CAN TAKE A BACK-STEP INTO WHAT WE USED TO BE BEFORE SALVATION, AND BE TEMPTED TO TURN BACK TO OUR OLD CARNAL WAYS.

WHY DO YOU THINK GOD’S MINISTERS BACKSLIDE?—- MOST OF THE TIME, IT’S BECAUSE THEY GOT SO INVOLVED IN GOD’S WORK, AND THEY DON’T MAKE TIME TO SPEND WITH THE GOD THEY SERVE.

WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY OF THESE OCCULT RELIGIONS GET AS FAR AS THEY DO? —-THEY PRAY MANY TIMES A DAY TO THEIR FALSE god, WHICH OPENS THE DOOR FOR SATAN TO INCREASE THEIR GROWTH, AND SPREAD THEIR DOCTRINE OF ERROR. EVIL WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF THE CHURCH AGE, THEN IT WILL BECOME MORE FURIOUS DURING JACOB’S TROUBLE: THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS, AND WILL APPEAR AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME, AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST.

WE AS CHRISTIANS, SHOULD GUARD AGAINST, OR BE WATCHMEN, CONFRONTING EVIL.

SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, SOMETIMES, WE AS CHRISTIANS, CAN BE INFLUENCED BY SATAN, TO DO HIS WORK.

HOW?—-HEARTS OF UNBELIEF! – HEBREWS 3:12,13 – TAKE HEED, BRETHREN, LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AND EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD.

BUT EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY, WHILE IT IS CALLED TODAY; LEST ANY OF YOU BE HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN.

SOME BEGIN TO WANDER OFF FROM THE WORK OF GOD, AND GOD HIMSELF, WHEN THE FIREY TRIALS COME. THEY MIGHT GET CRITICIZED FOR THE WAY THEY DO THINGS AND BECOME DESPONDENT AND LOOSE THEIR VISION, INSTEAD OF TURNING IT OVER TO GOD.

FEAR COULD ARISE, AND THEY MIGHT NEVER START WHAT GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO DO.

WHEN WE SERVE THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, THE TRIALS WILL COME TO TRY TO STOP GOD’S WORK. I HAVE FOUND, THROUGH EXPERIENCE, THIS IS WHEN GOD IS GETTING READY TO DO SOMETHING GREAT IN THAT WORK (THEIR VISION).

STAY WHERE YOU ARE, PRAY, PUT ON SOME WORSHIP MUSIC AND BEGIN TO WORSHP GOD AND THANK HIM FOR MOVEING IN YOUR SITUATION. WAIT, AND HE WILL. —-DON’T GIVE UP, YOU ARE ON THE BRINK OF A MIRACLE!!!!!

WE HAVE THE POWER THROUGH GOD’S WORD AND HOLY SPIRIT’S POWER OVER SATAN AND HIS DEMONS. II CORINTHIANS 10:3-5 – FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH:

(FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL, BUT MIGHTY THROUGH GOD THROUGH THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS;)

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;

MATTHEW 16:19 – AND I WILL GIVE UNTO THEE THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.

THERE IS SO MUCH POWER IN USING THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR BATTLES. THEY ARE NOT REALLY YOUR BATTLES, BECAUSE THE BATTLE BELONGS TO GOD; BUT WE ARE TOLD OT BIND AND LOOSE THOSE POWERS THAT ARE COMING AGAINST US AND OPERATING THROUGH OTHERS AROUND US; AND USING THEM THEM TO COME AGAINT US AND OUR VISION, AND GOD WILL IN TURN BIND AND LOOSING THOSE THINGS FROM OUT OF HEAVEN.

THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S!!

HE JUST WANTS US TO GET INVOLVED BY PRAYING HIS WORD, AND BELIEVING HIM TO TAKE CHARGE.

DON’T GIVE UP!! YOU’RE ON THE BRINK OF A MIRACLE!!

WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?

September 22, 2011June 16, 2013 | Jeanette

THIS IS THE QUESTION OF THE AGES.

FUTURE IS DEFINED AS “THAT WHICH IS BEYOUND THE PRESENT.”

MANY SPEND MILLIONS TO FIND OUT THEIR FUTURE.

PHYSIC HOT-LINES AND FORTUNE TELLERS ARE PAID THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR.

ARE YOU SEEKING TO KNOW YOUR FUTURE?

WELL, BELIEVE ME, I KNOW WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE.

A FAMOUS PRESIDENT’S WIFE CONSULTED A PHYSIC FOR HER HUSBAND WHILE MHE WAS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IT WAS SAID, AFTER HE WAS SHOT, SHE SOUGHT THE HELP OF A PHYSIC BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY OUTSIDE APPEARANCES.

THEY SCRIPTURES ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST ANY USE OF PHYSIC POWERS.

I TALKED TO A PALM READER ONE DAY AND SHE WAS SO DECEIVD: SHE TOLD ME HER POWERS CAME FROM GOD, AND SHE WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET HER TO UNDERSTAND, GOD WOULD NEVER GIVE POWERS TO ANYONE THAT WOULD GO AGAINST HIS PRECIOUS WORD. I HOPE I LEFT HER WITH QUESTIONS OF MIND THATWOULD CAUSE HER TO SEEK OUT THE TRUTH.

THE BIBLE CALLS THEM SORCERERS, WHICH IS DEFINED AS SUPPOSED POSESSORS OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

THEY USED WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS, DIVINATION, WHICH IS DEFINED AS AN ATTEMPT TO FORETELL YTHE FUTURE BY OCCULT (OR SECRET) MEANS.

DIVINATION IS AN ABOMINATION (EVIL PRACTICE) TO GOD. LOOK AT DEUTERONOMY 18:9-14 – WHEN THOU ART COME INTO THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE, THOU SHALT NOT LEARN TO DO AFTER THE ABOMINATIONS OF THESE NATIONS.

THERE SHALT NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU ANYONE THAT MAKETH HIS SON OR DAUGHTER PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, OR THAT USETH DIVINATION (OR FORTUNE TELLING OR CHANNELING [INTERPRETATION OF OMENS]), OR AN OBSERVER OF TIMES, (WHICH INCLUDES HOROSCOPES AND ALSO, I BELIEVE, ALMANACS), OR AND ENCHANTER (MAGICIAN, WIZARD, WITCH), OR A WITCH (SORCERESS OR ENCHANTRESS),

OR A CHARMER (CONJURER OF SHAMAN [MEDICINE MAN, OR WITCHDOCTOR]) OR A CONSULTER OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS (THESE ARE GENERATIONAL DEMONS, THAT FOLLOW A FAMILY FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, AND CAN GIVE INFORMATION TO THE ONE PRACTICING SUCH POWERS, SO THAT THY CAN FOOL THE ONE WHO IS DESIRING TO HEAR FROM THEIR DECEASED LOVED ONE. TO ME, THIS IS THE SICKEST OF ALL DECEPTIONS ON THIS LINE., BECAUSE THE PEOPLE SEEKING TO HEAR FROM THEIR LOVED ONES ARE EXPERIENCING GRIEF AND LOSS, ALREADY, AND ARE SO VENERABLE TO THESE DECEPTIONS.), OR A WIZARD (A DEVINER, CHARMER, AND THE LIST GOES ON), OR A NECROMANCER (ONE WHO INQUIRES OF THE DEAD).

FOR ALL THAT DO THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMONATION UNTO THE LORD: AND BECAUSE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS THE LORD THY GOD DOTH DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE THEE.

THOU SHALT BE PERFECT (ENTIRELY OBEDIENT, UPRIGHT, SINCERE) WITH THE LORD, THY GOD.

THIS ALSO INCLUDES ALL SECRET ORDERS, WHICH ARE OCCULTS.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE CAN PUT OUR FUTURE IN THE HANDS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO KNOWS OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. HE WIPES AWAY ALL OUR PAST WHEN WE COME TO HIM, AND WILL REVEAL TO US HIS FUTURE PLANS FOR US THAT ALWAYS COME TO PASS.

ONLY GOD KNOWS THE FUTURE: ISAIAH 41:21-24 – PRODUCE YOUR CAUSE, SAITH THE LORD (OR SET FORTH YOUR PLANS); BRING FORTH YOUR STRONG REASONS, SAITH THE KING OF JACOB.

LET THEM BRING THEM FORTH, AND SHOW US WHAT SHALL HAPPEN: LET THEM SHOW THE FORMER THINGS WHAT THEY BE, THAT WE MAY CONSIDER THEM AND KNOW THE LATTER (PRESENT) END OF THEM; OR DECLARE US THINGS FOR TO COME.

SHOW US THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME HEREAFTER, THAT WE MAY KNOW THAT YE ARE gods: YEA, DO GOOD, OR DO EVIL, THAT YE MAY BE DISMAYED, AND BEHOLD IT TOGETHER.

BEHOLD, YE ARE OF NOTHING (OR OF NO ACCOUNT), AND YOUR WORK OF NAUGHT (AMOUNTS TO NOTHING): AN ABOMINATION IS HE THAT CHOOSETH YOU.

GOD IS SAYING, “LET YOUR IDOLS SHOW WHAT WE CAN DO. LET THEM TRY TO TELL US WHAT OCCURRED IN YEARS GONE BY, OR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. IF YOU ARE GOD’S, TELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE DAYS AHEAD! OR DO SOME MIGHTY MIRACLE THAT MAKES US STAND AMAZED. BUT NO! YOU ARE LESS THAN NOTHING, AND CAN DO NOTHING AT ALL. ANYONE WHO CHOOSES YOU NEEDS TO HAVE HIS HEAD EXAMINED!”

GOD IS UNHAPPY, TO SAY THE LEAST, WITH HIS PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN OFF INTO IDOLATRY. HE WAS MIMICKING THEIR IDOL gods TO THEIR FACE.

MANY CULTURES WORSHIP AND LOOK TO IDOL gods FOR THEIR FUTURE, THAT CANNOT SPEAK OR HEAR, OR MOVE.

IT IS SAD WHEN PEOPLE, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, FOLLOW AFTER DEAF AND DUMB IDOLS WHICH IS A WASTE OF THEIR TIME.

THOSE WHO ARE INTO ANY OF THESE OCCULTS AND WITCHCRAFT, THINKING THEMSELVES TO BE SO INTELLIGENT, AND HAVE LOST SIGHT OF THE TRUTH, SHOULD TURN TO THE RISEN LORD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE SON OF GOD, AND IS GOD, WHO CAME IN THE FLESH AND DIED ON CALVARY FOR ALL SINNERS.

JESUS SAID IN JOHN 14:6 – I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.

JEHOVAH GOD IS THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD, WHO KNOWS AND REVEALS THE FUTURE.

YOU MIGHT ASK, “HAS GOD, THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, EVER TOLD YOU THE FUTURE?’

WELL, I’M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION. “YES, MORE THAN ONCE”.

I WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IN PART II OF, “WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE?”

TOMORROW.
