IT IS BIBLICAL MAY 15, 2020

TEXAS LADY JUANITA

Jesus’ Church has been largely defiled and divided asunder by thousands of vain man-made denominations. When many of you left these institutions, you should have come together as His Church with His Word to sustain you individually, and as local groups instead of going it alone. None are more guilty than I of avoiding fellowship. Small neighborly groups are seeking each other out, and I pray for more of these groups to come together. Instead of tithing to build buildings where souls are lost in the daily grind to collect more and more funds to keep the doors open; tithing can be shared with those less fortunate right under our noses.

I would only caution small groups in the Bible they choose to study. The Holy Spirit was directly involved in the early translations. There is much ado in comparing the thousands of modern translations, and scholars have exhausted this subject. The easiest facts to find are the words that are translated in many ways that have altered the meanings intended. The Bible warns us of changing the meanings of His Scriptures. If we are praying for His TRUTH to be revealed to us, it will happen.

In today’s struggle for truth, we are bombarded with Satan’s lies broadcast coast to coast, 24 / 7/ 365, as arrows accusing the innocent. (Christianity is not for sissies!)
“Ephesians 6:16 ~ ABOVE ALL taking the shield of FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”

When you think you can no longer bear this upside down world, where good is taken for evil, and evil taken for good, and the limitless buckets of wicked lies, you need to get in His Word . . .

“Revelation 12:10 ~ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the Power of His Christ: FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN IS CAST DOWN, WHICH ACCUSED THEM BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND NIGHT.”

HEADS UP – THE FLAW IN THE AMERICAN AWAKENING

America has been in dire moral straights for a long time. “The enemy within” our government continued the policies of several prior Presidential administrations: DIVISIONS of color / racism; of political parties; of sex / gender; of Antifa getting by with violence against the Middle and Upper Classes, and others. Most important, Christians have divided, divided, and sub-divided The Body of Christ into thousands of denominations designed with man-made agendas. America is divided, both sides cannot be right – well, one of them IS left. The truth is that those who are on the right claim higher moral ground, but it is often a false claim. Their patriotic hearts are in the right place, but what they believe is flawed. The problem with America is her Christian Faith; it is broken.

The Christian right is praying, but they are not a cohesive group under Christ, as The Body of Christ, as they should be. Americans have become desensitized to evil and are no longer able to look evil in the eye and call it evil. The “Great Awakening” is primarily a political awakening so far, and not a spiritual one. Dozens of YouTube sites that are reporting the truth to Americans, are missing the necessary boat for success. The “Great Awakening” must take Americans back to their Christian roots. The Lord is in the wings waiting for Americans to not only come back to Him, as their “First Love,” but to be loud in sharing their rekindled Christian Faith – via witnessing to all that ‘have an ear.’ There is no testimony on this earth stronger than the TRUE witness testimony of Christian Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Founding Documents, including our Constitution, were based on Judeo/Christian Faith. How are we to make America Great Again (MAGA) without our true King, Jesus? America is not to bend their knees for any other faith, or political substitution for our faith. Our Representative Constitutional Republic requires a self-governing population. Let there be no mistake, self-governing Americans are Christians who endeavor to live the Lord’s Commandments for humans. In the successful years of our Republic, most of our population endeavored to live up to these Commandments written in our hearts and minds. Of course, there were those who were not Christians or Jews, but most in this category of Americans considered the Commandments to be good for them and their families. God’s natural laws are written in every human DNA but is only truly activated when Christian Belief is in exalted play.

It isn’t as if Christians do not know that only the truth will set our course straight and good, the following is one of the most quoted passages in The Bible – AND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF US.

Ephesians 6:10-20 Holy Bible KJV
“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.
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.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”

If the Christian right, that came out to vote for Trump, were solid in their Christian Faith, and loud about their Christian Faith, as well as supporting President Trump, the lies and betrayal we are witnessing would quickly be handled by a DOJ that is in tune with the majority of Americans.

75% of Americans say they are Christian. 20% of Americans say they have no religion. Religion and Denomination are interchangeable in America.  I have no Religion / Denomination; I have FAITH IN THE GOSPEL REGARDING JESUS CHRIST, which makes me a Christian BY FAITH, AND GODS WORD. Even family members have argued with me about my Christian Faith. When asked if they have read Jesus words in The Bible, they say “no.” I ask them, (and you if applicable), to hold your opinion of the Bible until you have read it and studied it by prayer to God before and after each study session.

Another fine point regarding Christianity, we all know that many who claim to have no religion, are mad at God for some reason; and many return to their Christian Faith when they need God. When America reconnected historically in her Christian Faith, evil slithered behind a rock until the next time in the future history when America becomes weak in their solidarity behind their Christian Faith. We the People do have it in our power to turn the country solidly around today (MAGA) if we would live in The Word as we have done in the past. This will be a day when “The Great Christian Spiritual Awakening” will be described in our National Pledge:

I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic
for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

From My Heart

http://youtu.be/l7Fpf9VL7PQ  (The Old Rugged Cross, sung by Alan Jackson)

So glad I am the generation that grew up hearing this. My parents didn’t take me to church – they disagreed on denominational issues. So, I tagged along with many a friend – and was especially fond of Vacation Bible School with friends . . . Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian . . . it didn’t much matter to me which denomination I worshiped with. So, now in my sixties, I realize that my faith is stronger than many – and I cannot help but wonder if that is because my faith is based on love and the scriptures – not on a denomination.
In my 30’s and until my parents died, we discussed faith and belief often. When I was still a teen, my mother had given me her childhood Bible, and wrote, “To Juanita, read it with love and love it. Love, Mom.” In my 30’s my dad gave me a Bible that was full of insightful commentary. He was afraid of death because he had not figured out how to ask God to forgive him for things he had done . . . we talked often . . . he finally figured it out before he passed. During those last years my Momma would pray at night, in her rocking chair, and she did find comfort. They, like most of us, would do some things differently if they could go back and do it again.
God Bless and keep them in His loving arms.
You can understand why I see the denominations as barriers. What I wouldn’t give to convince all believers that our denominations separate the Body of Christ – His Church.
