Can a Christian fall away?

 

 Many Bible teachers and preachers teach that a Born again Christian cannot backslide or lose their faith despite how the Bible clearly tells us this. I found this list online and just couldn't help myself but post it. I have unsubbed from countless you tube, Instagram, FB, and other pages and channels (even though some give good reports) because the person preaches that you can not walk away from God once you are saved. I truly believe this is a very dangerous doctrine that will lead many to hell, among a host of others. Be careful with your faith. Your salvation is a precious gift that we must then work out with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)  God does not remove your free will once you get saved!

15) Fall away and impossible to restore unto repentance (Heb. 6:4-6)
16) Deliberately go on sinning and no longer have a sacrifice for sins (Heb. 10:26-27)

18) Fail to obtain the grace of God (Heb. 12:15)
19) Wander from the truth (James 5:19-20)
20) Forsake the right way (2 Peter 2:15)

Time is short! Warn others. Stay close to Jesus!  

 

 

The Chess Board is All Set!

Dear Precious Saints of the Most High,

I hope you all are doing well as we wait for our Lord's return. There is so much news happening and so many prophetic events occurring that my mind just spins. I imagine most of you have been keeping up with things so I have no need to report on them here.  

Technology is advancing at exponential levels. They are now staring to put full working robots in people's houses to do the cooking and cleaning. I even saw one news article that said that a robot is teaching in elementary school. AI centers are going up everywhere, including not far from my home. People in my neighborhood are protesting, but not for the reasons you might think. For the noise and the fact that our power bills will skyrocket while this center consumes most of the power and water in the area. 

 This is the Beast System, folks. It will power all the AI bots and Flock cameras and car cameras and digital readers necessary to keep track of every person on the planet. 

Along those lines, I wanted to point out this patent below for Smart Dust.  

US Patent 11354666B1, assigned to Wells Fargo, describes using "smart dust" to verify payments. Smart dust is a set of tiny, wireless sensors. The sensors float in the air to collect biometric data, audio, or temperature. This confirms your identity when you buy something. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How it Works

1. Trigger: You start a payment at a store.
2. Release: A base station releases tiny micro-sensors into the air near you.
3. Data: These sensors scan your face, voice, or body patterns.
4. Match: The sensors send this data back to confirm it is you.
5. Approve: The payment goes through only if you match the data. [1, 2]

Patent Link

 

Who on Earth thinks this is a good idea? Do you want to walk up to your bank and get scanned by sensors so small you can't see them?  Anyway, here we are.

Add to that the flock cameras I just mentioned and how they Are Building a GPS Tracker for Every Car 

 

Then we have the war exploding in the Middle East. I believe the Psalm 83 War is about to commence. Yes, we are also expecting the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38, but this Psalm 83 war might have to happen first. Then the Daniel Covenant and THEN Israel will be living in peace. They have to feel safe for the Gog-Magog war to happen. 

 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. Ezekiel 38:8 

Read Psalm 83. The nations who come against Israel are as follows (As best as I can tell)  Jordan, North Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq and Iran.  Seems like all these nations are swinging their swords at Israel right now. 

Have you noticed all the Earthquakes? And big ones. Not just little shakings, but huge. Of course they are saying the REALLY BIG one is coming here to CA. And I have no doubt it will one day soon. I don't worry. For to me, to die only means I'm with the Lord sooner! 

We hear rumors of various deadly diseases as well. Then of course the great falling away of the Christians.. many who are now being led to the slaughter by various wolves in sheep's clothing. I've spoken many times here about all the false doctrines out there. 

And as the love of many grown cold? Can you believe the violence in our cities? The gross and rampant immorality. I saw a video recently of a preacher in the UK arrested for preaching against homosexuality on the street. They put him in handcuffs and hauled him away. The Bible is considered hate speech in Canada. 

With the Strait of Hormuz closed again and the coming war, gas and food prices are sure to rise even higher. All this while many people are being laid off from jobs that are being taken over by AI. 

This is all setting up for the Tribulation. In fact, they have everything all ready. All they need is for us to leave. We are the Restrainer, our presence here with the Holy Spirit within us, we are keeping the full tsunami of evil from crashing ashore. 

All they need is a huge disaster.. a world war.. or an alien invasion to create terror and chaos across the globe, then they can bring in their "savior" who will appear in the sky and proclaim he is Jesus and so many Christians will fall for it. Why? They don't know their Bible. They don't know anything about end times, and their pastor will lie and tell them it is actually Jesus.  Of course, by then, we will be eating at our wedding banquet, which I, for one, am looking forward to immensely! 

I do not know when the rapture is. I do not listen to people who predict certain dates. I'm sure many are well-meaning, but for me, it only causes frustration when days pass. However, the Bible says we will know the season, and we are in it. 

The main question is NOT when the rapture is, but are you going? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Do you speak with Him daily and listen for His replies? Are you led by His Spirit. Romans 8 tells us 

 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, verses 14-16  

This is how you know you are saved. 

The warnings have gone out! The Lord will soon call His Bride home. Stand fast and firm and keep looking up. 

I wanted to direct you all to a You Tube Channel, Mission For Christ, I came across recently. There you'll find several videos with interviews with Phillip Barnett, who is a pastor and prophet who has prophesied many things over the years that have come true. The Lord has told him a great deal about what is coming, and I've listened to several of his videos and find that he preaches the True Gospel.  He put out a prophecy back in 2007 about Russia attacking Ukraine when both those countries were allies. I forget the name of the prophecy. But he has also given many prophecies about America and also what is coming on the world. I'm pointing it out to you because you may find what he says very interesting. 

Last Word from the Lord: Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.  Wait, Watch and Worship.  That's what you should be doing now. 

Blessings to you all!  

 

 

 

Jesus is not Seeker-Friendly

  Now, before you click away, I am NOT saying that Jesus doesn't love mankind, that He doesn't want everyone to be saved. That He doesn't seek and save the lost because we know He does. What I'm saying is that Jesus makes zero compromises with both His character and His Word in order to save someone. Nor does He sugarcoat or water down His Gospel in order to lure people in. Let's look at a few of Jesus's own Words:

 

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.  Matthew 10:34-37

 

And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake, but he who perseveres and endures to the end will be saved  Matthew 10:22

 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.John 15:19

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:38-39

And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].  Luke 9:23 Amp

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:22-23
 

You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell  Matthew 22:33

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. John 15:20

 

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Matthew 24:9

And let's not forget how Jesus MADE A WHIP and turned over the merchants in the temple and whipped them. 

 

When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. John 2:15 

 

These are not very seeker-friendly verses, are they? Jesus always sought out those who were truly seeking Him and truth, but He was quick to reject the hypocrites and those who weren't serious about knowing Him. He is the same today. 

 

I used to attend a church that was small and the pastor really had a gift for Bible teaching. But he was young and he gave up the church to a bigger organization who quickly absorbed our little church. They shoved this pastor into an office job and started a Seeker-Friendly church in our area. My husband and I quit going.

 

That young pastor said once in his sermon:  "Salvation is Free, but it will cost you everything!"  I love that. Yes, salvation is a free gift. We are saved by grace alone! But once we get saved, living the Christian life will cost us. As is EVIDENT in the verses above. Being a disciple of Jesus has a high cost, but you rarely hear about that cost in church these days. Especially not in seeker Friendly churches. You won't even hear about end times, for fear that it will frighten people away.

 

Jesus had no problem with frightening people away!  He spoke the truth. If you follow Him, truly follow Him, it will be hard!  You will be hated, ostracized, belittled, and even persecuted. It will cause family problems. You will have to deny your fleshly desires and be obedient to Him and His Word. it is a life of submission, denial, and humility. And you will have trials and struggles!  But pastors either don't know this or they refuse to speak the truth because then they'd lose people... and people bring in the money.  Or maybe they are truly afraid that some people will walk out and never get saved. But should unbelievers even be in church in the first place? 

 

That same seeker-friendly church I mentioned above only preached a Teddy Bear loving Jesus and they gladly welcomed unrepentant homosexuals and immoral people into the congregation and even to serve in ministry. Why? They said it was on the hope they would eventually get saved.

 

But is that how real church should be? Real church, according to the New Testament, is where true believers come to fellowship, worship, and use their gifts to help each other grow in the faith... to be discipled. There should not be any unbelievers there, or especially any people living in willful sin. Paul in 1 Corinthians 5 told the church there to kick out a man who was part of their congregation because he was sleeping with his mother in law. Paul told them to "deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."  

 

As I mentioned in my last post about the "sinner's prayer", church was never meant to be in auditoriums where people were spectators and all the responsibilities fell to the pastor. The church in Acts met in homes where everyone could participate and use their gifts for the edification of all the believers. Then these Christians went out in the world to preach the Gospel to their neighbors and friends and when they led someone to the Lord, they would bring them to the church gathering where they could be discipled.  That's how it is supposed to work. That's what I see in the book of Acts and throughout the New Testament.

 

Jesus was not seeker-friendly. He did not sugarcoat the cost of following Him. He did not tolerate apathy or lukewarmness or hypocrisy. He did, however, gladly welcome anyone who truly wanted to know and follow Him.   

 

 

 

 

Everyone, Bow Your Heads and Close your Eyes

  "With no one looking, those of you who want to receive Jesus, quietly raise your hand. Ah yes, I see you there... I see you there in the back. Now, silently repeat after me this prayer."

Does this sound familiar? Is this something you've seen a pastor do in a church? I have witnessed this multiple times. There are many problems with this.

1. Why do all the people have to bow their heads and close their eyes? Are the people who might get saved here ashamed of their decision? Are they afraid to publicly declare they want to follow Jesus? If so, then my guess is they won't get saved anyway. 

2. Where in the Bible does it say you have to repeat any prayer to get saved? Aren't we told in Scripture not to repeat prayers like the heathen do? If you are only "repeating" what the pastor says, are you being genuine in your declaration when they aren't even your own words? 

3. Where is the conviction? the real repentance?  The public declaration of one's new faith and the subsequent celebration? 

Yet after these people have secretly said "the prayer", the pastor declares them "saved" I believe this is how we get false converts in churches. 

Let's look at the Apostle Peter's famous sermon in Acts 2, the one where 3000 people got saved. After his sermon, this is what the Scripture says:

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 

No quiet raising of hands in secret. No repeating a prayer. The very first instruction of Peter was to REPENT.

There are, in fact, 80 occurrences of the word Repent in the NKJV of the New Testament. 

Repentance does not just mean saying I'm sorry. It is a complete and utter 180 degree turn from what you were doing, how you were living, to a new way of life. People who truly get saved are completely undone by the Gospel. They hear it and it affects them so much, it cuts them to the quick, and they realize how wicked and depraved they are. They fall to their knees in repentance and give their lives to Jesus. And they aren't ashamed at all when they do this. They do it openly and publicly, confessing their belief that Jesus is the Son of God, that He rose again from the dead, and they make Him Lord of their lives.

Nowhere in Scripture is there a salvation experience done in secret by repeating a prayer. Even if the pastor calls the people up to the altar, he still puts words in their mouths. I'm not saying that all people who raised their hand and repeated a prayer in church did not get saved. I'm sure some did.

The Lord led me to point this out to you, although many of you know this. But our current way of doing church (and the way its been done for nearly 2000 years) is not Biblical. The congregational church was never described in the Bible where there is one man in charge and everyone comes and sits in an auditorium to be entertained. Christianity is not a spectator sport!   The only church the Scriptures define is a group of believers who meet together to worship, pray, and grow in discipleship. Everyone has a gift from God that he or she can use to edify other believers. The pastor is NOT the head and responsible for the entire group. There are teachers, administrators, worship leaders, prophets, helpers, healers, and a ton of other giftings you can find listed in the Bible.  

Unfortunately with the current way "church" is done and the way people "get saved", I believe that sitting in the pews across America (and the world) are many people who profess to be a Christian but who truly never repented and don't know Jesus at all. 

Please don't take offense if you attend a church you like where the pastor preaches the real Gospel. This is not a bad thing. But it would be much better to meet together in groups where everyone can use the gifts God gave them to help disciple all the believers. 

We are so close to going home. It breaks my heart that there are so many tares among the wheat. They've been told they are saved when they really aren't. They've been told they got their ticket punched to get into heaven but in reality the Lord will tell them He never knew them. Ultimately it's up to them to seek out the Scriptures and form a relationship with Jesus. But they feel secure in their OSAS doctrine, and all their sins past, present, and future have been forgiven, right? So, it doesn't matter how they live. Breaks my heart.. 

 

 

 

Beast System Rising - The Genesis Mission

Saints,

Time is short. Please watch the following two Instagram posts, Part 1 and Part 2 of something called The Genesis Mission.  I did look up this woman and the lady from whom she gathered the information. You can find Carol Mack on Facebook.   I have scrolled through her information and it is mind-boggling. But if you want just the cliff notes, watch these two Instagram posts. . 

Part One

Part Two 

In a nutshell, this "Genesis Mission" is the Beast System and it is nearly completed all around us. When you agree to it, it is not just a chip in the hand or an implant in the brain, but your entire body become wired to the internet or the AI hive. There will be no where to hide. And if you aren't wired into the system, you don't exist and therefore cannot buy or sell.  They expect to have this completed by this December. If you are brave enough to scroll through Carol Mack's page,.. you will see all the proof, as well as hear her testimony. I prayed about it and I believe Carol and this lady below are true Christians just trying to warn people. There is so much deception now!  We cannot trust anything we hear or even see. Please stay close to Jesus and ask for discernment.  Oh, and one thing this lady said which blessed me immensely is that what they are trying to do with the sprays and the nanobots and infiltrating our bodies, they CANNOT do to those of us covered with the blood of Jesus!!  And you should know then, that they know who we are and they can't wait for us to leave! 

Another lady I highly recommend on You Tube who I just found is Ashley Hays.  I've only listened to a few of her videos but she is spot on with Biblical truth and with what is happening.  I encourage you to sub to her and work your way through her videos if you really want to know what's going on. Not to fear, but just to be informed so you won't be deceived! 

I say all of this also because I sense the Lord telling me my job as a watchwoman is nearly at an end, so I will only be posting things as he leads. When I asked him today (Sunday), he led me to create this post. 

I'm NOT watching dates or listening to feast day calculations or the blood moons or number of days since (you fill in the blank) equaling to the prophetic numbers in Daniel.. or any of that anymore. I'm only looking at signs and staying as close to Jesus as possible. I encourage you all to do that and not get caught up in rapture dates and "words" from the Lord about dates, etc. Keep your focus on Jesus!  

It's more important that you are going in the rapture than when it will happen!

Make sure the rapture is not your idol, but rather your full focus and love is on Jesus! 

Maranatha and see you all soon! 

 

 

Stay Alert!

 

The Closer we get, the Harder it Becomes!

 Dear Saints,

Happy summer! Forgive my absence, but I've been working furiously on finishing my latest novel, hoping to release it in September. I feel like I'm racing against time itself, because I truly believe the rapture is at hand. Also, I've never experienced the level of spiritual warfare against this novel in all the books I've written. There is a very strong salvation message in the plot, perhaps one of my strongest, and that may be the reason. Whether it ever sees publication is up to the Lord. 

I also sense that the Lord is pulling me away from reporting on End Times news. I've been doing it for over 9 years now and since then, there are so many more watchmen at their posts, watchmen with far more time and contacts then I have. Basically, my assignment from the Lord was to wake up the sleeping church and warn them against Deception and false doctrines, and I believe I have done my best to do that. There are hundreds of posts on this blog that people can find or the Lord can lead them to. 

I still will post whatever the Lord leads me to post. But today, I sort of just need to rant a bit. I am keeping abreast of the news as much as I can and I see what's going on. Trump and Vance have turned against Israel, which will only cause God's judgement to finally fall upon America. We know the judgement is coming and well deserved, but until we pulled back from Israel, I believe God was staying His hand. Even as I say all of that, I'm fully convinced that 99% of what we hear on the news is all lies and propaganda. All the world's leaders are merely actors upon a stage. Puppets if you will, their strings pulled by those men and women we never see. The ones who are truly in charge and who truly worship Satan. Their entire goal is to usher in the Golden Age, known to us as The Tribulation. They want their King (AC) to sit on the throne in the temple in Jerusalem. They want him to rule the world. In fact, I've heard that Satan has promised any world leader who can get the temple rebuilt and put his man on the throne will receive great rewards. 

Do all the world leaders know they serve Satan? I don't think so. Some are just pawns in the game. But others do. They take their orders from below and they do so because Satan has convinced them that he can defeat God, that he will reward them with an eternal life of power and pleasures. 

Same lie from Eden. 

Sometimes it's hard to remember that everything you hear in the news is just a means to an end. Even Trump's recent retreat from Israel is all part of their plan. It has to happen in order for the Gog-Magog war to happen... in order for some sort of nuclear exchange that will shock the world so much, they demand peace and will latch onto a great peace maker who arrives on the scene. This is all a Script. A play. That's why when I watch the news, I always think of their end game. How does this event move them closer to their Golden Age, whether it be by bringing us closer to war, or enforcing digital ids, or taking away more of our rights and privacy, or killing us off by vaccines or poisonous food. Or, lately, by conditioning us to believe that Aliens are here from other planets. 

This is why I no longer wish to report on the news. I urge you to not take too much of it to heart. Don't allow the news to upset you. Look at it through the lens of their end game and how each event, each law, each war, brings their AC closer and us closer to leaving. Speaking of laws, Canada just passed a law that makes the Bible illegal. 

The last thing I must address is the gross apostasy of most believers, and the false doctrines that have infiltrated most churches. The enemy twists ever so slightly one Scripture after another and then presents it to people on a golden plate of delights. I've mentioned here on this blog many such false doctrines, many such versions of Jesus that are NOT the real Jesus. That's why it is so important to KNOW the Real Jesus. And the only way to do that is to read His Word daily and spend time with Him. Yet, so many Christians can't even do that.  Which Jesus do you follow?

There's also a NEW Age Jesus I feel led to mention, called Christ Consciousness. They openly profess that Jesus is Not God but became a god, so we, too, can become gods. He didn't come to atone for sins, but to awaken mankind's inner godhood. Yeah, right.

And don't forget those believers who think the church has replaced Israel. A quick read through Romans will prove otherwise. This is a heresy that God hates. 

I heard recently that at least 80% of American Christian Churches hold to a preterist post-millenialist view of end times. That means they believe every end time prophecy has already been fulfilled and that the preaching of the Gospel will gradually transform the world, bringing a long era of peace, justice, and Christian influence before Christ returns.  Calvinism teaches this, I believe. And also recent false doctrines like NAR and Dominionism

Aside from the various Biblical fallacies these views hold,  they are also very dangerous, as I've mentioned before. When the Antichrist appears on the scene as the savior of the world, claiming to be god,  performing signs and wonders, and creating (at first) worldwide peace, the Christians who believe this are going to fall for him, hook, line, and sinker. They will think he's Jesus returning!  How quickly they will also take his Mark, especially when it comes with the reward of eternal life. 

Add to this, the believers who think they can mock God and trample on His grace by receiving His Son and then living in willful sin without any repentance. Blows my mind. 

This all makes me very very sad. Not only for these deceived people, but also for the lukewarm Christians who love this world more than they love God. They will be left behind to face horrors none of us can imagine. That's another topic I've posted about here until I'm blue in the face.

Perhaps that's why I feel my work is done. Perhaps it is also because we are so close to going home.  I know the path gets more narrow and harder with each step, but believe me, it is going to be worth every struggle, every heartache, every pain. Just don't quit. Never quit! Read and memorize God's promises from His Word. There are thousands. And trust in them and in Him when you can't see past the darkness. I know times are tough. But the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has prevailed!  And soon you will see Him face to face!
