Conspiracy Lies and Half-Truths | Love the Truth

2 Timothy 4:4: And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

God’s Strength Lies and Delusions | Believing a Lie

Eph 6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
• Yes, we live in an evil day
• Where people believe or consider anything that comes out of somebody’s mouth
• Even if it is a conspiracy theory
• Even if is a political propaganda
• Even if it is a lie
2 Thess 2: 2-3,9-11 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or trouble, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (down in vs )9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
YES, EVEN THE VISIBLE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN MASSES ARE BELIEVING
o Anything that comes out of someone’s mouth
o Rather than consider what “Thus saith the Lord” (The Bible)
o And Not a so-called “Prophet or Prophetess.”

Jesus said in Matthew 5:14-16: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT JESUS CHRIST WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT

If we are HIS LIGHT
His coming should not overtake His faithful followers as a thief

1 Thess 5 1-8: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

LET THE LORD BE YOUR STRENGTH IN THIS DARK HOUR

Psalm 18:1-2: I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
• But how do we get God’s strength and have it show in our lives?
Psalm 147:10,11 tells us: He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Zechariah 4:6: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts

Weak Made Strong | Jesus’ Strength Made Perfect

By Pastor Dennis Williams

2 Cor 12 :3-4,7,9And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)4How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 77And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

Jesus said in vs 9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

IT IS GOD’S GRACE
• God’s grace gives us what we do not deserve
• And in His mercy, he does not give us what we deserve

THE LORD’S POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS
WE ARE ALL FOOLISH, WEAK AND BASE (LOWLY AND DESPISED) PEOPLE WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST IN OUR LIVES
1 Corinthians 1:26-29:
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
• The Corinthians tended to be puffed up with pride
o Pride our Proud: is merely having an overly high opinion of oneself or one’s importance
• The Corinthians were puffed up with the knowledge they had 1 Cor 8:1
• “they were puffed up for one against another” 1 Cor 4:6
• “some are puffed up” 1 Cor 4:18:
• ” not the speech of them that are puffed up but the power” 1 Cor 4:19

WE CAN FIND POWER AND STRENGTH IN CHRIST
Ephesians 3:16: That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
2 Corinthians 12:10: Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Romans 8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Psalm 18:2: The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Are You Close To God | Purify Your Heart

By Pastor Dennis Williams

James 4:8: Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

• The double-minded Christian can never be close to God

• HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT: means there are two options that someone wants, but they can’t have both because the options conflict with each other, so they can only pick one.

• WE CAN’T EXPECT TO HAVE THE SINS THAT MAKE US FEEL GOOD AND CHRISTIANITY TOO!
• WE CAN’T HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS; YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
THIS LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES
JESUS UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS ALL: HE HAS COMPASSION FOR US.
COMPASSION MAY BE DEFINED AS “YOUR PAIN IN MY HEART”

Psalm 145:8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
Hebrews 4:14-16: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
• He was a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief.
• He understands the pain in our hearts and bodies
Isaiah 53:4-6: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way, and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
• We don’t have to feel despised and rejected
• Bruised hurt and thrown away
• Jesus Christ paid the price for it all
Jesus also said in Matthew 11:28-30: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
• No matter what our past, present or future
• Jesus understands all that we are
• And all that we go through

Some refuse to draw near to God

Zep 3:2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.

Jer 2:30: In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

All nations Draw Near to God

Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
