TRANSITIONING to what?

 

1 Corinthians 6:19

King James Version

19 What? 

know ye not that your body 

is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

;and ye are not your own?

Are we transitioning our little angels, to little devils?

Are you aware the gender issues being touted all over the world right now?

There is a real battle, being waged on many fronts.

We could so easily be swamped, save for the GRACE of GOD.

If you are a believer, you cannot be swamped.

You have GOD's WORD to back you up.

You stand by the ROCK that is CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 10:4

King James Version

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: 

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: 

and that Rock was Christ.

JESUS revealed the enemy before:

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.

The world is in very dangerous territory, challenging the laws, and authority of CHRIST.

It's time society's attention be called to Scripture.

It wasn't by accident I had a dream many decades ago, of how young girls are to be corrupted.

And it is a woman, who will make sure of that.

The battle is real, I assure you.

Are you a parent, or a relative, confused by what your child, or ward, is going through, gender-wise?

Are you a school, establishment, institution, or society allowing, promoting, or tolerating gender ideology?

Are you aware of the hidden dangers challenging how GOD created man, and woman, in the first place?

Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:21-23

King James Version

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, 

and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them, 

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.

Of course, if you're not born again, you will challenge this.

If you don't believe in JESUS, you will not believe the dangers of what's going on in the world.

If you have no love for GOD, you will remain defiant.

Wherein as early as kindergarten, kids are indoctrinated to think they alone determine their genders.

Do you really expect a four to five-year-old kid to think about such things in the first place?

Who has endangered the minds of these kids?

Who is at the helm of destruction of these kids, knowing they will be the future generation?

There is a lady, Abigail Shrier, who cries for the rights of young women, not to be subjected to gender confusion, or ideology.

She wrote the book, "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters".

You can read a sample chapter there.

You can also watch Shrier's nearly-hour-long compassionate, and fair video:

There is a real war destroying the basic integrity of families.

There is a real war making kids confused.

There is a real war destroying kids.

There is a real way dividing people, according to race, gender, and affiliation.

It's up to parents, teachers, siblings, and institutions to wake up now, before GOD puts His wrath upon us, for destroying His beloved little children.

We, adults, are always responsible for the young, the helpless, and the infirm.

JESUS gave the warning a long time ago:

Matthew 18:6-7

King James Version

6 But whoso shall offend 

one of these little ones which believe in me, 

it were better for him 

that a millstone were hanged about his neck,

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

JESUS did not go through the CROSS, to suffer, to be humiliated, to be crucified, to die, be buried, and be resurrected for nothing.

He bought us with the price of His blood.

We are to honor our bodies, and protect the innocent children's bodies, keeping corruption away from them.

1 Corinthians 6:20

King James Version

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, 

which are God's.

But how could we do that, unless we're born again?

Only a born again would be taught by the SPIRIT of GOD.

Only a born again would uphold the LAWS of GOD.

It's really a war against SPIRIT now.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

King James Version

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 

and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, 

him shall God destroy; 

for the temple of God is holy, 

which temple ye are.

Curious question:

Which side are you on?

HOST of HEAVEN

 

1 Kings 22:19

King James Version

19 And he said, 

Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: 

I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, 

and all the host of heaven 

standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

I had been reading about the host of heaven -- from Scripture -- but never really looked into it.

Until now.

Prophet Micaiah spoke those words to the skeptical king of Israel (Ahab), when asked if the king should go against Ramothgilead.

More about that event can be read here.

What is the "host of heaven"?

Scripture defines it, from these Bible versions:

1 Kings 22:19

World English Bible

19 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

In SUMMARY, "all the host of heaven" means:

all the host (army) of heaven

the whole heavenly army

all the heavenly forces

the whole army of heaven

every creature in heaven

all the army of heaven

All of heaven’s army

the whole army of heaven

heavenly ·army [hosts]

all his angels

His heavenly army

the entire Heavenly Army

the armies of heaven

all the angel armies of heaven

the entire army of heaven

all the [a]angels of heaven

all the heavenly assembly

All the angels of heaven

all the multitudes of heaven

All those in heave

all the armies of heaven

all the Tzva HaShomayim

the heavenly army

all the army of heaven

We get an understanding that the "host of heaven" is GOD's army, composed of angels.

What power can GOD give ONE angel?

On such angel can slay 185,000 soldiers in one night:

2 Kings 19:35

King James Version

35 And it came to pass that night, 

that the angel of the Lord went out, 

and smote in the camp of the Assyrians 

an hundred fourscore and five thousand: 

and when they arose early in the morning, 

behold, 

they were all dead corpses.

And if you want to know the number of angels that JESUS can call upon, know this:

Matthew 26:53

King James Version

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, 

and he shall presently give me 

more than twelve legions of angels?

A legion is composed of 4,000 to 6,000 soldiers. 

Multiply that by what ONE angel can do.

Of course, we're measuring legions by human standards.

We have no idea GOD's power.

WATCHMAN sees the signs

 

Ephesians 6:18

King James Version

18 Praying always with all prayer 

and supplication in the Spirit, 

and watching thereunto with all perseverance 

and supplication for all saints;

GOD made me a writer.

And a watchman.

He made me attentive to my dreams.

Whatever I hear, whatever I see.

Wherever GOD leads me to.

Long before He made me born again.

Lately, here's what His SPIRIT made me pay attention to:

In 2020, the words "social distancing" were bandied about.

And then the covid crisis blew.

Today, in 2022, I hear the words "global supply chain".

Uh-oh.

Shortages.

Supply delays.

And now, monkeypox?

Hmmm...

Next step in the internet of things.

In the manipulation of things.

There is nothing true about man.

UNLESS he belongs to GOD.

John 10:27

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, 

and they follow me:

In 1997, I was in Thailand.

I saw LOTS of tall, new condominiums along the highway.

No people about.

Just condos.

What a shame.

In 2008, I was in the U.S.

I saw LOTS of low-rise, new condominiums along the highway.

No people about.

Just condos.

What a shame.

Why was GOD showing me these things?

One would think, people would line up to buy.

Beautiful, empty spaces.

Was it too expensive?

Was it all for show?

Only the developers knew.

Strangest of all, I was in those two countries BEFORE the market fell.

I observed the surplus in housing.

Talking about timing.

Was I in the right place, at the right time?

Observing the concrete signs, created in concrete?

JUST before the crises hit?

Weird.

Having been trained in Architecture, I say it's a shame that no one lived in those structures.

Houses are meant for people.

Buildings are meant to shelter people.

It's not just for vanity.

Are we forgetting JESUS told us to love each other?

John 13:34

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; 

as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

So many people need houses.

We sure can build a home for EVERY family.

We have the brain.

We have the technology.

We just don't have the heart.

We took GOD out of the equation.

Now, we rely on algorithms.

On what man boasts to be A.I.

Without GOD, we are nothing.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

I laugh at the foolishness in man.

He so reveres the false.

All abominations unto GOD.

WHEN will greed, pride, vanity, lust, and foolishness end?

When GOD decides it's time for the RAPTURE to happen.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

On a day ONLY GOD knows.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.

That's why JESUS commands:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Apostle John echoes the warning:

1 John 2:15-17

King James Version

15 Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in the world. 

If any man love the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, 

and the lust thereof: 

but he that doeth the will of God 

abideth for ever.

And this I assure you, for SCRIPTURE tells us so:

Philippians 2:10-11

King James Version

10 That at the name of Jesus 

every knee should bow, 

of things in heaven, 

and things in earth, 

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

Where do you belong?

What's your stand?

Will you listen now?

I know where I stand:

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

I'm here to alert you.

Every single moment.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ALL battles are SPIRITUAL battles

 

Revelation 12:12

King James Version

12 Therefore rejoice, 

ye heavens, 

and ye that dwell in them. 

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! 

for the devil is come down unto you, 

having great wrath, 

because he knoweth that he hath 

but a short time.

Why do battles occur?

Why can't man get along?

SPIRIT, through SCRIPTURE, tells us why.

We disobeyed GOD's first command.

Genesis 2:15-17

King James Version

15 And the Lord God took the man, 

and put him into the garden of Eden 

to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 

thou shalt not eat of it: 

for in the day that thou eatest thereof 

thou shalt surely die.

Our bloodline has been further defiled.

Genesis 6:1-2

King James Version

6 And it came to pass, 

when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, 

and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men 

that they were fair; 

and they took them wives 

of all which they chose.

Causing GREAT displeasure in GOD.

Genesis 6:5

King James Version

5 And God saw 

that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination 

of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

After the FLOOD, man continued to sin.

Through the following:

PRIDE.

We think like the enemy, trying to outdo GOD.

Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

GREED.

We aspire for worldly possessions.

Proverbs 1:19

King James Version

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; 

which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

HATRED.

The enemy caused us to hate each other.

Proverbs 10:12

King James Version

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: 

but love covereth all sins.

VANITY.

We love looking good in our eyes, and those of others.

Ecclesiastes 2:11

King James Version

11 Then I looked on all the works 

that my hands had wrought, 

and on the labour that I had laboured to do: 

and, behold, 

all was vanity and vexation of spirit, 

and there was no profit under the sun.

LUST. 

We lust for things not of GOD.

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.

DELUSION.

We think we love, but we don't.

1 John 4:20

King James Version

20 If a man say, 

I love God, and hateth his brother, 

he is a liar: 

for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, 

how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

By the GRACE of GOD, we were sufficiently warned by JESUS.

He knew what we would be up against.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

This is how we know it is a spiritual battle:

GOD is a SPIRIT.

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The enemy is a spirit.

Ephesians 6:12

King James Version

12 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.

EXPECT all battles, to be of the spirit.

Know the spirit behind battles.

Is it GOD's SPIRIT?

Or is it the enemy's?
