Satanic Deception: Pope Benedict Encourages People To Turn To VIRGIN MARY In Times Of Difficulty!
December 8th is the day that the Roman Catholic church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. That Feast is not celebrating the sinless birth of Jesus Christ, but the sinless birth of the Virgin Mary according to Rome’s man-made tradition. Here is an excerpt from the Vatican Information Service out of the Holy See Press Office:
“What an immense joy it is”, Pope Benedict exclaimed, “to have Mary Immaculate as our mother! Whenever we experience our own fragility and the lure of evil, we can turn to her and our hearts receive light and comfort. Even in the trials of life, in the storms that unsettle our faith and hope, we know that we are her children and that the roots of our life lie deep in the infinite grace of God. In her the Church, though exposed to the negative influences of the world, always finds a star by which to guide herself and to follow the route Christ shows her. Mary is, in fact, the Mother of the Church, as solemnly proclaimed by Pope Paul VI and Vatican Council II”. (Vatican Information Service, Holy See Press Office, December 8, 2009)
I am so happy today that I do not have to turn to the Virgin Mary in times of difficulty. I used to rattle off my Hail Mary’s just as any other “practicing Catholic” would do, for many years, until I got saved. It was then that I met the real Jesus Christ, and I was delivered from the cultish system of Rome. Read my other article entitled ROSARY NO MORE: WHY I STOPPED PRAYING THE ROSARY to get a better understanding of this great deception. It saddens my heart to see so many Roman Catholic people still being held captive by that same system, and worse than that, without salvation in Jesus Christ!. Here we have the present Pope Benedict encouraging people to call upon Mary when they experience their “own fragility and the lure of evil” when it is the Devil himself who is behind all prayers to Mary in the first place. I have not uttered a prayer to Mary in the past 20 years, and I can assure you that Jesus Christ is the only one that I need. Jesus is the only mediator, and the only way of salvation (1 Timothy 2:5, John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12) because it was Him alone, who shed His perfect, sinless blood on the cross for us. Satan is clearly at work in the life of Pope Benedict, and he has worked for centuries through past Popes also. It is Satan’s desire to take your eyes off of Jesus Christ, and Him alone, and that is what he is doing with the worship of Mary within the walls of the Catholic Church. It is also unfortunate and sad, that so many evangelical “Christians”have been seduced into working hand in hand with this demonic system.
Leonard Ravenhill On Romanism: “The Greatest Forgery Lucifer Ever Made!”
“Evangelists today are wide-eyed to the might of Communism, but tight lipped at the menace of Romanism. America would shake from coast to coast in twenty-four hours if some preacher, anointed with the Holy Ghost, gave the Roman Catholic Church a broadside! We stir national interest against the cruel, half-civilized Mau Mau (wicked enough), but powwow with, and pander to, the Roman Catholic Church! These priests who dope mens souls,these idolatrous “masses,” these Calvary eclipsing prayers to Mary, these miserable millions cheated in life and in death by the greatest forgery Lucifer ever made.” (Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill, Bethany House Publishers, 1988, Copyright 1959)
Those words were written 50 years ago in a book by Leonard Ravenhill. Mr Ravenhill was apparently very aware and concerned at the great compromise that he saw between true Biblical Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. It is so rare to hear a preacher tell it like it is when it comes to this idolatrous system that we know as the Roman Catholic Church. Listen to Mr Ravenhill as he refers to those idolatrous “masses”(Roman Catholic Masses), and the “Calvary eclipsing prayers to Mary” in his book. What a stark difference there is in his speech, compared with that of the well known and popular preachers of today, including Billy Graham. Leonard Ravenhill was very accurate in his description of “These Priests who dope mens souls” because that is exactly what is happening. I spoke about the deception of the Roman Catholic Mass which you can read here and you will see clearly that it is truly a horrendous deception. Take heed to the warnings being given here today! Leonard Ravenhill held nothing back when he referred to Romanism (Roman Catholicism) as being “the greatest forgery Lucifer ever made.” Once again Leonard Ravenhill is speaking the truth without compromise and he gets right to the point. It has been 50 years since Leonard Ravenhill wrote those words in his book “Why Revival Tarries” and today there is scarcely an outcry against Rome from the pulpits of the mainline churches, even those who consider themselves to be “on fire” for the Lord. This has become a no-no in the modern church and it does not fit in with the lingo of this modern day. The lingo that comes from the Vatican is all about “dialogue” and how we need to talk with each other. Be careful, because the Devil will “dialogue” your soul right into Hell, if you let him! But don’t you let him! Believe me when I tell you this, that Rome and the Vatican have but one desire and that is to bring every“Christian” and many others under their leadership with the Pope as the leader.
Keith Green was another person who was very outspoken against Roman Catholicism. Here is a quote from the late Keith Green from his “Catholic Chronicles” series of articles.
“It is obvious by even this brief glimpse into the doctrines of mortal and venial sins, confession, penance, and purgatory, that the Roman Catholic Church has constructed one of the most unbiblical doctrinal systems that has ever been considered “Christian”. The fear, anguish, and religious bondage that such a system of “reward and punishment” creates, has tormented millions of lives for centuries, and continues to prey on those who are ignorant of the biblical way of salvation. To merely call such a system “a cult”, would be to throw it into the vast category of religions and quasi-religions that are currently making the rounds of our college campuses and city streets, snatching up many an unsuspecting youth. No, the Roman Church is not a cult. It’s an empire! With its own ruler, its own laws, and its own subjects! The empire has no borders, it encompasses the globe with its eye on every person who does not vow allegiance. It calls the members of other faiths “separated brethren” (The term used by Vatican II to describe the members of Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches.) and has as its goal the eventual bringing together of everyone under its flag. I know that many will not be convinced or moved by this article (or any of the others) to make such a conclusion. They are impressed by what they’ve heard about recent stirrings among the Catholics in the “charismatic renewal”. Many evangelicals (especially Charismatics) have been thrilled by the reports of Catholics speaking in tongues, dancing in the Spirit, having nights of joy and praise, even attending “charismatic masses”. Mouths that used to speak out boldly against the Church of Rome have been quieted by the times. It no longer is in vogue to speak of the pope as “the antichrist” (Although the following people unhesitatingly did: Martin Luther, John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards.) or the Catholic Church as the “whore of Babylon”. Now Protestants unwittingly believe that “our differences are not so great”. Ah, that is just what She needs us to think! I’ve never completely understood why God led me to write these articles. But it becomes more clear with each day of study, and each page of research. Never has something so black and wicked, gotten away with appearing so holy and mysteriously beautiful . . . for so long!” (The Catholic Chronicles – Keith Green)
We are living in a day where there is a tidal wave of false teachings and Roman Catholicism is truly a giant tsunami in the midst of all of them. The modern day “church” is run much like the business world, and Pastors entertain many people who they know are compromising with Rome, but they say nothing because they know that “one hand washes the other.” Instead of standing for truth as people such as Leonard Ravenhill and Keith Green and the thousands (possibly millions) of faithful martyrs did, they simply remain silent knowing that few will notice what they are doing. They receive the “praise of men” as many laud them for their Christian service, but deep down they know that they are not warning the people as they should. How can they warn the people when they know that they are working with people, and receiving large monetary donations from ministries who cavort with Rome? They do not realize that they are responsible for the sheep who sit under them. They do not realize that the souls in their congregations are being “doped” (and duped) by the modern day Ecumenical (apostasy) movement that is so crafty. Are you among them?
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
Rosary No More: Why I Stopped Praying The Rosary!!
I write this post as a former Roman Catholic, and as one who has forever stopped praying the Roman Catholic Rosary. For those of you who are not familiar with the Rosary, the Rosary is a set of beads, each bead representing a prayer. The majority of those beads represent a prayer well known as the “Hail Mary” and there are 53 “Hail Mary’s” on each bead set of 5 decades. There are also larger beads which would represent the Lord’s prayer (Our Father) but there are only 6 of them on the rosary. There is a crucifix on the end, and the “Apostles Creed” would be said on that, and there are also “Glory Be” prayers that are said on that Rosary. Here is an image of a set of Rosary Beads.

Rosary Beads are big sellers in Roman Catholic stores, and they are made out of different materials including plastic, wood, glass and various metals. Some Rosary bead sets can even glow in the dark, and I owned a pair of them. People are taught to pray the Hail Mary at a very young age, and though they may not attend a Catholic Church for years, they will still remember the Hail Mary prayer. You will often hear the Hail Mary prayed in its entirety at Roman Catholic wakes inside the funeral parlour. Often the prayer is led by the local Catholic Priest. He will pray the first part which goes like this: “Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou, amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.” The Roman Catholics who are in attendance will then respond with the second part of the Hail Mary, which is as follows: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death, Amen.” This would continue until all 5 decades of the Rosary were said, and it would often sound like a chant, as the Priest did his part and we did our part. It kind of made me feel good, to rattle off all my Hail Mary’s along with the rest of the people, but it never gave me any spiritual help at all in my life!
I have prayed the Hail Mary, thousands of times. I can remember praying that prayer at Roman Catholic wakes and funerals, hoping that the person who died would not suffer too long in Purgatory. I would hope that Mary would remember me at the time of my own death. Jesus was not even part of the equation in my prayers to Mary. She was the one who I called upon, and she was the one that the Catholic Priests taught me to call upon at the hour of my death.
Enter: The Real Jesus Christ
Many years later, I came to know the real Jesus Christ, and I realized and understood that Jesus was all that I ever needed. When I was born again of the Spirit of the living God, I knew that the real Mary never even heard one of my thousands of “Hail Mary” prayers. I can remember sitting at my kitchen table, when the Lord gave me a mental picture of all the ceremonies that I had attended as a Roman Catholic, along with all the pomp and circumstance that goes with it, and the Lord flooded my heart with His joy. He showed me that all of the ceremony and pomp, was not necessary, but that SALVATION was by SIMPLE FAITH in HIM, and it was FREE! The Lord showed me in such a sweet way, that He was all I needed, that He was the one that saved my soul. I was truly amazed at His mercy toward me, and I knew that He truly did forgive me of my sins. Folks, that is the salvation of Jesus Christ, and it is real!
As a new born again believer in Jesus Christ, I had a new found love for the Bible, and I could not put that book down. I read scriptures such as the following and I wondered why they never taught these scriptures to me during the Catholic Mass.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:6-9)
That passage of scripture is still one of my favorites because it says so much. What great comfort there is for us all, in knowing that Jesus Christ died for the UNGODLY (all of us). That includes every person in the entire world (including Mary herself). That is one of the hardest things for people to come to terms with, and that is what will keep them out of Heaven also. They never come to the place where they see themselves as UNGODLY in the sight of God. As a Catholic, I would rattle off my Hail Mary’s one after another, hoping that Mary would come to the rescue, but there was never a drop of peace or assurance that she would! I would sometimes see images and statues of Mary with the little baby Jesus in her arms, so I did not know Jesus as one who could really help me. It was BIG Mary and little Jesus in her arms, or in the manger at Christmas time. But when I was born again of the Spirit, I knew that Jesus Christ was in fact the Son of God, and part of the eternal triune Godhead! I knew that He came down from Heaven because of His love for mankind. I knew that it was HIS BLOOD, and HIS BLOOD alone that JUSTIFIED me in the sight of a Holy and Righteous God. I also knew that I did not need a Roman Catholic priest to transfigure a Eucharist Host into Christ Himself, and to perform the sacrifice of the Mass for me either. I knew that I was redeemed, and SAVED from the WRATH OF GOD, by what Christ did for me on the cross. The Rosary Beads along with Catholic crucifixes went outside in a large green Hefty bag, never to return. The Lord had saved my soul, and I am forever grateful for His mercy toward me to this day.
There are still millions of Roman Catholics who faithfully pray the Rosary every single day, many even claiming to be born again. I came through the Roman Catholic Charismatic movement before leaving the Catholic Church, and my worship of Mary actually intensified. I attended Catholic Healing Masses for over two years and the Rosary was often prayed throughout the service, which often lasted several hours. Songs similar to what you would hear in Christian Evangelical Services would be sung, but the Rosary would be prayed, and the Roman Catholic Priest would still do his thing, and transform the Eucharist host into the “actual body of Jesus Christ” through transubstantiation. That is another one of the Roman Catholic false teachings that has deceived billions over the centuries, and for which many were burnt at the stake for rejecting. (I love them for standing for truth) Here is another article that I wrote entitled THE DECEPTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC MASS I encourage all other Roman Catholic people to lay down your Rosary beads and to repent and believe the true Gospel of Jesus Christ! Experience the TRUE SALVATION which is found in Jesus Christ!
MP3 AUDIO: ROSARY NO MORE: WHY I STOPPED PRAYING THE ROSARY!
What Was It That Kept Old Man Noah Going?
You have probably heard the story about that old man Noah and the ark which he built by direct instruction from the Lord. (Genesis 6-9) The Bible tells us that God saw the wickedness in the earth, and that He was going to destroy man from off the face of the earth, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. (Genesis 6:5-8) Listen to what the Bible tells us here:
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (Genesis 6:11-14)
You can read the whole passage if you like and you will learn about the dimensions of the ark and everything else, but the main thing I want you to see here, is that this old man Noah received a direct word from the Lord. That word included God’s assessment of the conditions on earth during Noah’s day. The Lord saw the great corruption, and that the earth was filled with violence. The Lord told Noah that the end of all flesh was before Him, which meant that the Lord God had decided to judge mankind. Is it not incredible that God Almighty gave this awesome word to a mere man? Noah was a person just like any other person on planet earth, and the Bible describes him this way:
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. (Genesis 6:9)
Noah had a walk with the Lord and he was a righteous and blameless before God. Keep in mind that no man is perfect in the sense that we understand that word. We know that sin and death entered in through the sin of Adam (Romans 5:12) so Noah was a man in need of salvation just like everybody else. But Noah most certainly had a heart after God, and the Lord saw that, and called him to build that ark. The key to understanding what kept that man Noah going for all those years in building that ark, despite his surroundings, is found in this New Testament (Covenant) verse.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. (Hebrews 11:7)
The answer is simple. Noah knew that he had received a word from the Lord, and He also knew that the Lord he believed in, and followed was a mighty and awesome God, that said what He meant, and meant what He said! The scripture verse tells us that Noah was moved with fear (the fear of the Lord), and that is what caused him to build the ark exactly the way God told him to. Noah knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God’s Word would surely come to pass, and it was to the saving of his own house, including himself! Not only that but his buiding of the ark was a testimony to those who watched him building that ark, plank by wooden plank. The ark was being built on dry ground on an earth that knew no rain up until that point! The scripture tells us that Noah did all of this BY FAITH!
The true believer in Jesus Christ has received more than a word from the very same Lord whom Noah served. We have received the gift of the Holy Spirit and eternal life which also comes by faith in Him. The true Christian also has a healthy fear of the Lord and the scriptures have come alive to them, and that is because of the spirit of God within them.
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. (Proverbs 23:17)
We also are surrounded by many (most) who have little or no desire to know about the Christ whom we serve. But we keep pressing on by faith because we know that the Lord is a keeper of His own Word!
The earth was filled with violence in Noah’s time and the earth is also filled with violence in our own day. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said this regarding the conditions before His return:
And as it was in the days of Noe (Noah), so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe (Noah) entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (Luke 17:26-30)
The true believer has found refuge, and safety in the ark of Jesus Christ Himself and we continue to walk by faith, day by day. Be encouraged in the Lord today.
Our Secret Place Of Refuge In The Lord
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Psalms 91:1-2)
There is a safe hiding place that all can run to if they so desire, and that is under the shadow of the Almighty. I am obviously not talking about a physical shadow that is cast from above, but the spiritual shadow of Almighty God which stretches far and wide. When things get tough in this life, and it seems that there is nobody to help, and no place to run to, then that is the perfect time to seek refuge and shelter in the Lord Jesus Christ. Can you say today that the Lord is indeed your refuge and fortress? Are you trusting in Him this very hour? If not, you can turn to Him, for the forgiveness of your own sins, and receive eternal life in Him when you do that. (Romans 3:10,23, 6:23)
If you know the Lord, then I encourage you to run to Him for EVERYTHING, because He is your true spiritual Father. Every one of us makes the mistake of trying to do things in our own power and will sometimes, and we often end up in trouble. We must never forget that we have a great place of refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Devil: His Deceptions, Distractions, And Hatred Of The True Gospel Of Jesus Christ!
If you are a Christian, one who has been truly born again of the Spirit, and one who is truly following the Lord Jesus Christ, then this blog post is for you. Be warned! You have an enemy and he absolutely hates you because he hates Jesus Christ. That is right, you have a very real enemy, and that is the Devil himself. The Bible warns us in the following verse about the devil:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8)
The devil will seek to take you off course, and he desires to distract the people of God in any way that he can. The scripture passage described him as our adversary, who, as a roaring lion seeks to devour us. Have you ever shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with any person, and then all of a sudden, it seems that there are a hundred different distractions? It could be that the Devil is at work there, trying to shut down the preaching of God’s Word. We are in a very real battle, and if you truly know the Lord, then your spirit will bear witness with what I am saying here.
I can remember when I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ for real, after having been a Roman Catholic for many years. I was born again in 1989 and I knew that I had been deceived for the first 36 years of my life. That is why I speak out so often on the false teachings of Rome. I know that they are preaching a false gospel that has led millions of people astray for hundreds of years. It is such a pity and crying shame that so many “famous” people in the “Christian” world have been seduced into compromising with that false system. We are fortunate to have a Bible in our hands today because of the brave men and women of God, fought against the Church of Rome and their control. In this modern day there are two additional false doctrines that have been propagated by Rome, and that would be the Immaculate Conception, and the Assumption of Mary. That makes the situation even more pathetic because so few ever speak out against the Roman Catholic system anymore. This is just one modern day example of how the devil is deceiving people.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:10-12)
The Roman Catholic Church with it’s own priesthood, the sacrifice of the Mass, the worship of Mary,and the false teaching about Purgatory creates a Gospel of it’s own, but it is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:8-10)
Satan is ever so clever in the way he moves, and he loves it when people use the name of Jesus, but they are not truly born again, and thus they are not preaching the true Gospel. Another modern day deception is that of “Christian” Zionism which puts the focus on the modern day State of Israel and the ethnic Jewish people. The devil knows that a person must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God, and that the Jewish people in Israel, and throughout the world need Jesus Christ as much as anybody else. So the Devil is able to use his own “ministers” of “righteousness” to convince most people that the Jewish people are alright because they are “God’s chosen people”. The Devil is able to take the focus off of Jesus Christ, and their need for Him and twist the whole thing around. Christians are being told that they need to bless Israel or they will be cursed, but the Bible tells me that the wrath of God is upon any person, Jewish or Gentile who does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ!
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)
Satan has truly done a number on the majority of Christians throughout the world. Satans ministers are described in the passage below:
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. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)
The one thing that you need to remember is this. Satan will do all that he can to keep the true Gospel of Jesus Christ from being preached. If he cannot do that, then he will do all that he can do to corrupt and pervert the Gospel. If he cannot do that then he will do all that he can do to distract people from hearing the true Gospel that they might be saved. The devil will usually use the “religious people” who do not know the Lord to become rabble rousers, creating storm’s and distractions to quench the Gospel message. Here are some Biblical examples of this:
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 13:48-52)
Did you see that? The Jewish unbelievers went for the devout women and the chief men in the city to get them riled against Paul and Barnabas, who were preaching the true Gospel. Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet, and moved on. That is the way it is with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some believe and get saved, and others reject the Gospel and remain lost!
Here is another instance in the book of Acts where that happened:
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. (Acts 14:1-3)
Satan is the one behind this persecution of Christians and it came as a result of the Devil’s hatred of the Gospel truth!
And yet another example of Satan using people to stir up the people:
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people. (Acts 17:13)
And yet one more example of how the Devil seeks to stop the preaching of the Word of God:
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16)
The scripture passage tells us that the Jewish unbelievers in Israel, killed the Lord Jesus Christ, and their own prophets, and they continued to persecute the Lord’s people when they desired to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. Do not miss that last part, where it tells us that they FORBID the preaching to the GENTILES, that they might be SAVED! Then the scripture tells us that the wrath is upon them to the uttermost! Do you see the difference between that message and the message of the “Christian” Zionist? Truly Satan has bamboozled many in these last days. Are you one of them?
Are You On The Way To Heaven?
That is the question of the hour. The words below were spoken by Jesus Christ Himself, and either they are true or they are not.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Jesus made it clear that He was indeed the WAY to go. If you are looking to go to a certain place, then you want to make sure that you get good directions. If you want the directions to that place called Heaven, then I point you to follow Jesus Christ. He most certainly is the WAY. Jesus also declared that He was the TRUTH, and He surely cannot lie. Jesus also said that He was the LIFE, and He was speaking about eternal LIFE.
You can surely trust a person who laid down his own life for you, can you not?
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:6-9)
Jesus also told his followers that He was going to prepare a place for those who follow him:
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2-3)
Are you on the road to Heaven? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour? It is not too late to repent of your sins and put your faith in Him. Yes this is true, no matter how wicked your life may have been up to this point, Jesus can, and will, save your soul. Each and every one of us falls short of God’s glory anyway, so do not fear!
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (Romans 3:10)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
You can still end up in Heaven. God is a merciful God and He desires to save your soul.
Do not put it off. The Lord bless you all.
