Just Because I Said Merry Christmas

Good morning friends and family. It is just before sunrise here in Florida. Something has been on my heart since Christmas morning, and I need to speak to it. I had a disappointing conversation on Christmas morning, but I didn’t say anything that day because I wasn’t going to let it ruin my family’s Christmas. I am writing this as a warning, so you can be aware of the legalistic Pharisee type “believers” that are out here on WordPress. I have encountered these people before, and I am tired of dealing with them. My hope is that this will encourage you all to live in the grace and peace of Jesus, and not let judgmental hypocritical finger pointers shake your faith.

On Christmas morning I spent time wishing everyone a Merry Christmas as a blessing of peace and joy. 99% of you responded in the same heart of Christ’s love and fellowship. Unfortunately, there is a crew of Pharisee types here on WordPress that are very hateful about Christmas. They like to shame believers in Christ for celebrating Jesus on Christmas, and they misuse Scripture to brow beat us with their condemning judgments. When I first started blogging back in August of 2018, I encountered an entire gaggle of these so called believers and I learned an important lesson from those conversations. I don’t put up with these people. I simply speak the truth to them, then wipe the dust of my feet off and move on.

What really bothers me is that these false preaching haters can possibly hurt younger believers who don’t yet have the experience or knowledge to deal with them. Legalistic people are bullies who speak their condemning comments with a heart full of bitterness. They are easy to spot because they do not speak the truth in love. Most of the time, for some strange reason, they are women. Maybe that is one of the reasons the Apostle Paul said women should be quiet in church. There are a lot of legalistic women who are puffed up in their arrogance and they love running their mouths at strong men who love Jesus. As I said, I don’t put up with them. I do, however, rebuke their hypocritical comments and put them in their place if I have to.

“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.”

-The Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:11-14

It was truly disappointing that this happened on Christmas morning, of all days, and it’s a good thing that the Lord has made me strong in His grace, and I know exactly who I am in Christ. These people don’t shake my faith. After 24 years walking with Jesus, they are just one more legalistic hypocrite that the Lord always gives me victory over.

After I said “Merry Christmas” to this person who I thought was my sister in Christ, she told me I was deceived by satan and disobedient to the Lord for wishing her that blessing. Think about that for a moment. She judged and condemned me just because I said “Merry Christmas” with great joy in my heart in celebration of my Lord and Savior. She told me God was not amused with disobedience, and she even admitted that her heart doesn’t show much love “when it comes to my brethren being deceived by satan.” She should have stopped right there because that is exactly the problem. She wasn’t speaking truth in love. She was speaking condemnation in legalistic hatred. Good thing I am strong in Christ and I know the difference. A younger believer could have been hurt by her comments.

Here is her comment to me after I wished her a Merry Christmas on her blog:

“I don’t celebrate this admixture pagan/papist/traditions of men “holy” day. As a Christian, neither should you. God is not amused with disobedience. Let me send you a dear sister’s post with scriptures, though not exhaustive, but surely from a loving heart (mine doesn’t seem to show much when it comes to my brethren being deceived by satan; for the Christ of Christ Mass is not our Beloved Lord and Savior Jesus of the Bible).”

Then she left a link to a blog post by one of her legalistic friends as a way to prove why she feels it is okay to make such condemning legalistic comments to her brothers and sisters in Christ. I didn’t visit her friend’s blog because I have dealt with this before and I don’t need to read such trash. This arrogant woman should not presume to tell me what I should or should not be doing as a Christian. She is not above me in the Lord and that is not her place. The Lord did not put up with such Pharisee hypocrites either.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”

-Jesus speaking in Matthew 23:27-28

Here is my reply to her legalistic comment to me:

“I don’t appreciate your legalistic judgment on me. I am not being deceived by satan or anyone else. I love Jesus with all of my heart. If you don’t know that by now, then you don’t know me at all and you haven’t been listening to what the Lord preaches through me on my blog. I am not a Catholic or a pagan. I am not disobeying the Lord. You might want to check your heart before you go pointing your finger at your brothers and sisters in Christ. I honor, glorify, and worship Jesus on this day and every day. I will not be following your blog anymore. Grace and peace to you.”

Keep in mind, this was Christmas morning. My wife and I had just enjoyed watching our beautiful children open their presents, and we were having a very blessed and joyful day celebrating Jesus and praising Him for all He has done for us. I wasn’t going to let her cruel judgmental comments ruin our day. She replied back with a bunch of other legalistic filth and called me her enemy. I did not respond again. She already called me disobedient, deceived, and displeasing to the Lord. There was no reason to continue the conversation after she called me her enemy too. Like I said, I don’t put up with these mouthy arrogant women. I stood firm in Jesus, and left her with my usual blessing of grace and peace, and that was that. She can go on and on if she wants to. She won’t be hearing from me again. Dust off my feet.

Let me be clear here, if you are legalistic like this arrogant woman, remove yourself from my blog and don’t come back. You will not get anywhere with me. You will just end up breaking yourself when you come against me. My face is set like flint, and I am strong in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who I love with all my heart. You will not shake me, but you will be shaken.

I forgive this woman, and I pray for her that the Lord will open her heart to the truth and fill her heart with love. I pray the Lord removes the bitterness and hatred that has taken root in her heart, and He would heal her from the legalism that binds her.

I will continue to worship, honor, and glorify Jesus on Christmas and every day of the year, and I will continue to bless people in the Name of Jesus by saying Merry Christmas. In a culture that is doing everything they can to remove Jesus from society, I will stand firm in Christ. I will not help the world cancel Jesus. He will never be cancelled! He will reign forever, and every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father! I love Jesus so much I can’t even express it in words. His immense grace, mercy, and forgiveness is flowing in my heart, and I will stand strong in His beautiful love.

If you are a new believer in Jesus, and this has happened to you, don’t let it shake your faith. There are many legalistic false preachers out here, and they do not represent the whole of Christianity. They are hateful and spiteful people who love pointing their fingers at true believers. They cause division and sow discord, and they will reap what they sow. Stand firm in the grace of Jesus Christ. God looks at our hearts and He knows us. There is nothing sinful, disobedient, or deceived about worshiping and honoring Jesus at Christmastime, and there is nothing wrong with saying Merry Christmas.

“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”

-The Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:1-3

May we keep our eyes on Jesus, speak the truth in love, and stand firm and be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! He is coming soon!

Grace and peace to you all!

God With Us

Hello everyone! God bless you all and Merry Christmas! I absolutely love Christmas! The true hope, glory, joy, and peace of Christmas is Jesus! It is the amazing miracle that God came to earth and became flesh to dwell among us! God is not far away. He is not absent or unfamiliar with our sufferings. God came to us in the most humble of ways as a precious child to save us from our sins and be with us forever!

This year has been hard on all of us. Many are losing hope. May we all remember the great hope and joy we have in Jesus. May our hearts be encouraged and strengthened in the truth that nothing is impossible for God! He can do all things, and He loves us! He loves us so much that He came down from Heaven to save our souls!

“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Matthew 1:21

“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”–which means, “God with us.”

Matthew 1:22-23

“For nothing is impossible with God.”

Luke 1:37

As John testified:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

John 1:1-5

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14

We all need forgiveness, and we all need a Savior. God is so loving, merciful, and forgiving that He came to earth to rescue us. Don’t ever lose hope! Even at our darkest hour, there is great hope in Jesus! Let God’s love wash over you this Christmas and every day of the year. Jesus is the rest and peace that every soul longs for. My prayer is that you will know His great love for you, and rest in His forgiveness, grace, and mercy. Jesus is the light of the world, and His light cuts through every darkness on this earth!

Place your full faith and trust in Jesus as we move forward into a new year. Give Him all your anxieties, worries, and fears. Let Him comfort you with His love. He is Immanuel, God with us, and He came to set us free from the darkness of sin and death! No longer do we have to be afraid. No longer are we slaves to fear. That is the true glory and hope of Christmas! Anyone on earth can receive this great gift of God’s grace! Anyone can be saved through faith in Jesus!

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death–that is, the devil–and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”

Hebrews 2:14-15

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

“And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be

saved.”

Acts 2:21

Jesus loves you, and He wants you to be in Heaven with Him forever! The greatest gift of Christmas is the salvation of our souls! May that great hope fill our hearts to overflowing, both now and forevermore!

Grace and peace to you all! Merry Christmas!

Live In The Truth Not Fear

Photo by Ryan, Hot air balloon in Colorado

There is a mass attack on the world right now, and all of us are living through it no matter where we are on this earth. The attack is based on two very sinister weapons: lies and fear. All of us have a choice to make. Will we believe the lies and live in fear, or will we believe the truth and live courageously? As for me and my family we will serve the Lord, and we will live in the truth by faith with the courage, strength, discernment, and wisdom that God gives us by the power of His Holy Spirit.

I was going to wait until after Christmas to write this, but it has been heavy on my heart to warn about this now. I have warned about it before, and I will continue to speak the truth about all things. We are being lied to by those in power who control the government, medicine, and the media. Unfortunately, even some believers are falling for these lies, and they are even shaming other believers who won’t fall for the lies like they do.

There was a blog post recently that was disturbing and discouraging, and it really bothered me that a brother in Christ would shame his brothers and sisters in Christ who are standing firm in the truth. He seems to believe the propaganda fear-mongering regarding Covid, and he is all too ready to submit to the new world order and take their dangerous vaccine. He called believers who don’t want to take the vaccine “misled” and said we were deceived by “conspiracies.” Do you know how tired I am of hearing people call me a “conspiracy theorist” just because I understand the prophecies in the Bible, and God shows me the connections to them in our time? How can a person who has the Holy Spirit not see what is going on?!

I have been warning about the coming one world government of the antichrist for many years now. Many of you have read my posts that I wrote back in January and April of this year warning of the very things we are living through right now. If you missed those posts, you can read them here:

A Dire Warning For 2020

A Dire Warning For 2020 Part 2: Coronavirus, Vaccines, and Digital ID

To be clear, I never said the vaccine is the mark of the beast. I said the vaccine is leading to the mark of the beast. The globalists who serve the evil one are conditioning humanity to submit to being enslaved by the mark. The vaccine is poisonous and deadly, and our family is not ever letting anyone shoot that toxic concoction into our bodies!

Recently, four people came down with Bell’s Palsy after receiving the vaccine. Now their faces droop down on one side like they had a stroke. They are also recommending that people who have serious food, medicinal, and latex allergies (like me) not take the vaccine. This is based on reactions people had, including anaphylaxis, where life saving measures had to be taken after they received the vaccine. People who have auto-immune disorders, like my Celiac Disease, are being told to stay away from the vaccine. Easy for me, I wasn’t going to take it anyway. Our kids have Celiac too, so they won’t be taking it. If you think the vaccine is “safe,” you might want to do more research and stop telling people to take it, and stop shaming those who know the truth.

I am not being “misled” or “deceived” by anyone. I am not following any man, or pastor, or website. I follow Jesus Christ, and I am being led by Him in the power of the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit, can you not see what is going on?! It is right in our faces now, but people still want to believe lies and mock those of us who speak the truth. They want to shame us and call us “conspiracy-mongers.” Really?! There is nothing conspiracy about Revelation and Daniel. Wake up!

This whole Covid attack is about control and power over humanity. They are enslaving the entire world with it. That vaccine is filled with poisonous metals, aborted baby fetal cells, and allergens that can cause serious injury and even death. I already suffered and survived anaphylactic shock on 4-28-2012, and I don’t ever want to suffer that again (see my post My Lazarus Moment). I am only alive because of the miracle the Lord did to save me that night. I stopped breathing, I was with Jesus, and He put me back in my body in the power of the Holy Spirit. They can keep their sick vaccine! I’m not taking it, and I don’t care what you call me. I live in the truth and I am protecting my family from the devil worshiping new world order.

It’s sad to see believers shaming people who won’t take the vaccine. The brother who wrote the blog post that was disappointing said that people like me are being misled. He listens to the lies of the globalist controlled mainstream media with all their fear-mongering and phony Covid death rates, but I’m the one being misled? Nah, brother. I live in the truth of God’s Holy Word. You are the one being misled. I will take the discernment and wisdom of the Holy Spirit over CNN any day!

You go ahead and call me what you want, and you go ahead and take that horrible vaccine if you want. I pray with all my heart that God protects you and gives you wisdom to change your mind and flee from it! This is all leading to humanity being dominated and controlled like slaves. Whether they use a micro-chip, tattoo bar code, or some other form of Digital ID, the technology for the mark of the beast is here and they are going full throttle with it now. Do you have eyes to see it in the Spirit?

The ones who are deceiving you are the ones who are blindly believing everything the devil worshiping globalists are telling you. The vaccine is not about protecting you and saving your life. They are trying to cull us and depopulate the earth! Go read their first commandment on their evil Georgia Guidestones. They want to depopulate the earth down to 500 million people, and they are deadly serious about fulfilling that wicked goal!

The vaccine will harm your DNA. Now they are even saying that the Covid virus has mutated! Yeah, right! How convenient that it mutates right as they release a vaccine. Don’t you see what is happening? This is never going to end. They want to keep our country and the world locked down forever. This is the greatest wealth transfer theft in the history of the world! They want us shut down, locked down, impoverished, and dead! This was never about Covid!

The death numbers are a lie. As I’ve said before, 250,000 people have NOT died from Covid in the United States. Several months ago they tried to tell us that 160,000 people had died, but the CDC admitted that only 6% of that number actually died from Covid. That is around 10,000 people, which is 10,000 less than the yearly flu deaths. We don’t even need a vaccine for a cold virus that has a 99.9% survival rate! We just need to boost our immune systems naturally and let the virus run it’s course through herd immunity like we are supposed to do with viruses.

This whole thing is one giant lie to control humanity. Please understand this and live in the truth! Protect and love each other, and do not let the new world order forcefully inject, mark, or chip you in any way, shape, or form! The devil is behind this, and his one world government is right at the door.

The Rapture could happen at any moment. Believers in Jesus will be rescued from the coming wrath because we are not appointed to suffer wrath. We are appointed to receive salvation through faith in Jesus! The Tribulation has not started yet, but it is close. We are seeing the lead up to that time right now, and it is fully out in the open now flashing in our faces like a glaring red warning light! Pray for wisdom and discernment to understand the times and be ready for Christ’s return! I listen for that trumpet call every day with great hope and expectation! Jesus will NEVER mislead me! I trust in Him with all my heart!

“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead–Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.”

-1 Thessalonians 1:10

“For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

-1 Thessalonians 5:9

There is nothing conspiracy about the Book of Revelation when it warns of the coming one world government and the mark of the beast. Why is it that some believers want to point their finger at me and call me a conspiracy theorist just because I can clearly see the connections between what is happening in our time and Bible prophecy? How is it that you don’t see it?! They want to listen to lies from those who want to dominate and kill you, then believe those lies, and then tell you that you are deceived if you don’t believe the lies. We truly are living in the end times where they call evil good and good evil.

I don’t follow false preachers, false prophets, false pastors, false churches, or evil governments and their lying media puppets. My eyes are fixed on Jesus, and He will always lead me in the truth! It is very sad seeing a brother in Christ believe lies that are pumped through the TV 24/7. If he truly has the Holy Spirit, then I know the Lord will open his eyes to the truth and deliver him from evil, and I pray for him. Again, there is nothing conspiracy about what is coming to this earth, and it is not hard to see it now. The globalists use to be able to hide. They can’t anymore. They have been exposed by God, and they are way out in the open admitting their plans right to your face! They even call it “The Great Reset”!

Reset to what, you might ask? What they mean is resetting the world to their new world order, which is a tyrannical one world government based on communism, atheism, and violence. They are not shy about this. They admit it arrogantly and proudly. They want you to bow and submit like a good slave. Wear your mask, take your vaccine, do what your told, and go off and die. They look at us like cockroaches to be smashed under foot. This is a great culling, and the vaccine is an insidious step to their plan of eventually enslaving humanity with a “mark” that you cannot “buy or sell” without.

“He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.”

-Revelation 13:15-18

Again, let me be clear, the vaccine is NOT the mark of the beast, and I never said it was. The mark is coming, and the vaccine is leading to it. I will not read or follow blogs that blindly advise people to bow down and take the vaccine. I will not listen to those false preachers who shame truth speakers like me. Their folly is obvious and I stay far away from them. Christians who don’t want to take the vaccine because they are stirred up and warned by the Holy Spirit don’t have anything to be ashamed of, and don’t let anybody shame you!

Follow Jesus and listen to Him. Read the prophecies for yourself. Discern the times in the wisdom and understanding God gives you, and be at peace in Him. The times are at hand and our redemption is drawing near! Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and trust Him! Do not take that sickening vaccine, and don’t let them control you with lies and fear. God did not give us a Spirit of fear! He gave us a Spirit of love, power, and self-discipline! Do not listen to the fear-mongering liars; follow Jesus! Choose faith over fear!

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”

-2 Timothy 1:7

If you don’t know Jesus, now is the time to receive Him by faith! Today is the day of salvation! Jesus will forgive all your sins and save your soul, and everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile–the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

-Romans 10:9-13

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-Jesus speaking in John 3:16

Jesus will see us through to the very end, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will come to take us home just as He promised! Live in the truth and do not be afraid! Jesus Christ is Lord!

Grace and peace to you all!

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”

-Jesus speaking in John 14:18-21

Good News For All People

Good morning and God bless you all! Thank you all for your prayers! I am feeling much better, praise God! The Lord has been strengthening and encouraging my heart, taking away the pain, and helping my appetite, and I am so grateful! Christmas is only a couple weeks away now, and 2021 is just around the corner. I’m sure we are all ready for 2020 to end. My focus is solely on Jesus. He is the true joy, hope, and light of Christmas, and His birth is good news for the whole world!

If Jesus had not been born, there would be no hope in this world. We all need a Savior, and the good news of the Gospel is that God sent His Son to be the Savior of the world! God offers us forgiveness of our sins and eternal life through faith in Jesus, and that is the greatest gift we could ever receive!

Let’s take a look at the historical account of the birth of Jesus as recorded in the Book of Luke:

“In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to men on whom

his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

-Luke 2:1-20

Just like the angel said, the birth of Jesus Christ is good news of great joy for all people! God loves us all so much that He came to earth in human flesh to pay the penalty for our sin for us! The shepherds were so excited that they ran out and told everyone they could. They were the first evangelists that night as they spread the good news that the Savior of the world had been born, and believers in Jesus have been sharing that glorious message ever since!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-Jesus speaking in John 3:16

The beautiful joy of Christmas is Jesus! Glory to God in the highest for sending His Son to save our souls! That is what we all truly want deep inside our hearts. We want to be at peace with God and know that we are going to Heaven. We can have that full assurance through faith in Jesus! Salvation is a free gift of God’s abundant grace, and it can only be received through faith in Jesus.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

-John 14:6

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

-Romans 10:9

“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

-Romans 3:22-24

As Isaiah prophesied around 700 years before the birth of Jesus:

“For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his

shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

-Isaiah 9:6

If you do not have His peace inside your soul yet, please come to Jesus today and receive that most precious gift of eternal life! Through faith in Jesus, you will be reconciled with God and made righteous by the power of His Holy Spirit! Your sins will be forgiven and you will become a child of God! There is no greater gift than the salvation of your soul!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

-Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28-30

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory.”

-Ephesians 1:13-14

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”

-Ephesians 2:8-9

Jesus is the light of the world. Without Jesus, the world would be in darkness. Jesus is the only One who was born to save our souls, and there is no other Savior. Please consider the gracious gift of eternal life that God is offering you! Repent and turn from sin, and be at peace with God. He loves you and He will receive you as His own!

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

-John 8:12

“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”

-John 1:12-13

That is the true glory of Christmas! A beautiful little baby born in a manger who came to save us from sin and death! Jesus is Lord!

Grace and peace to you all, and Merry Christmas!

Refined By Affliction

First off, thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement the last few days. God is good, and I was able to eat more yesterday and today. The Lord showed me that He has been refining me in the furnace of affliction. This is all for His glory and my good, and I trust Him. Whether He heals me or not, He is cleansing me of sin and sanctifying my heart, mind, and soul, and I give Him praise.

I went to the doctor yesterday, but there is not much they can do. She told me about different pharmaceutical drugs (which I can’t take), and recommended a gastro doctor I could see, but that’s it. We talked about different foods I could eat for nutrition and electrolytes, but I already knew all that. She said my heart, lungs, and blood pressure are good. There just isn’t anything they can do for Celiac. I am trusting in God and praying for strength, wisdom, and healing.

I believe we are in the end times leading to the Tribulation, and the Rapture could happen at any moment. Christians are talking about increased spiritual attacks and battles they are going through during this time, and it’s good to see believers encouraging and praying for each other. We all need the fellowship and support! Jesus could call us home very soon, and He wants us to be ready!

The church is being tested. Believers in Jesus everywhere are being drawn closer to the Lord and there is a great conviction to be right with Him in every way. We are not perfect, but we must stay away from sin and keep our eyes on Jesus. We must walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and ask the Lord to cleanse us of all unrighteousness, and sanctify us! That is what God is doing with all my suffering. He is purifying me and leading me even closer to Jesus! Even closer to the man He wants me to be in Him.

“See, I have refined you, though not as

silver;

I have tested you in the furnace of

affliction.”

-Isaiah 48:10

I don’t want to stray from the Lord! No matter what happens with this disease, I want to be at peace with Jesus! He is my only peace, hope, and salvation! He is my only forgiveness from all my sins! I just want to walk humbly with Jesus with great fear, reverence, and awe. I fear the Lord and I am so thankful for His never-ending mercy and perfect love!

“But what can I say?

He has spoken to me, and he himself

has done this.

I will walk humbly all my years

because of this anguish of my soul.

Lord, by such things men live;

and my spirit finds life in them too.

You restored me to health

and let me live.

Surely it was for my benefit

that I suffered such anguish.

In your love you kept me

from the pit of destruction;

you have put all my sins

behind your back.”

-Isaiah 38:15-17

If you don’t know Jesus yet, I plead with you with all my heart to repent and receive Him as your Lord and Savior! We don’t know how much time is left before believers in Jesus are Raptured, but it is so close. A time of great Tribulation and suffering is coming to earth! A time when God will pour out His wrath and judgment on earth! God loves you and He does not want you to perish! He has made the Way to Heaven through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, and all who call on the Name of the Lord will be saved! We have all sinned and we all need forgiveness. There is only One Who has ever died for our sins, and His Name is Jesus. Please repent and receive eternal life through faith in Jesus today!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

-John 14:6

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-Jesus speaking in John 3:16

-Romans 3:22-24

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

-Romans 6:23

“First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”

-2 Peter 3:3-10

There is only one Way to be saved, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can forgive your sins and save your soul. Eternal life can never be earned by good works or any other way. Salvation is a free gift of God that can only be received by faith in Jesus.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”

-Ephesians 2:8-9

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

-Romans 10:9-13

Please come to Jesus today! Turn from sin and receive eternal life! There is a great spiritual battle going on in 2020 and these are dangerous times. Jesus loves you so much that He died for you, so you could be reconciled with God and spend eternity in Heaven! Please do not throw that precious gift away! Repent and run to Jesus! He will save your soul and you will never be put to shame!

Thank you all for your prayers! The Lord is holding me and I am holding onto Him. He will see me through to the end and fulfill His purpose for me. May the Lord’s will be done in all things as we see the day of the Lord approaching. May He deliver us from sin and evil, keep us strong and righteous in the Holy Spirit, and spread revival through the whole world! Jesus is Lord!!

Grace and peace to you all!

Have Mercy On Me

I am suffering terribly. Those of you who know me know I’ve been fighting Celiac disease and Cachexia for almost 9 years now. It is taking its toll on me and I find myself at a point where I am completely beat down and exhausted. I need serious prayer from my brothers and sisters in Christ! The evil one is trying to kill me, and I have been clinging to Jesus with everything I am. Only He can rescue me and heal me, and I am crying out for mercy.

I don’t know what has happened to my body since moving down here to Florida, but I have entered into a time where it has been almost impossible to function normally during the day. From the time I get up around 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. or later, I have been laid out on the couch due to intestinal, colon, and hemorrhoid pain. I’m in the bathroom all morning and afternoon excreting stool, intestinal mucus, weird bubbles, and blood. Sometimes I can eat a banana for breakfast and sometimes I can’t. Haven’t been able to eat lunch on a regular basis, and I don’t have an appetite until dinner. If I do eat lunch, all I have is a small bowl of brown rice noodles and a few black olives. I don’t eat much at dinner either. Just a couple small waffle slices and some bison meat or bacon. Sometimes I can’t eat meat though.

I’m not getting enough nutrients. This disease is dominating my life. I can’t eat, I can’t write, I have to reschedule appointments, and it is painful to pick up my son from school every day. I have lost more weight and I’m already 30 pounds underweight. I don’t know what to do anymore.

I am crying out for mercy and asking the Lord to do another miracle in my life and heal me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I need to be healed! I can’t go on like this. The evil one has been attacking my mind constantly during this time with the worst attacks of shame, guilt, and condemnation I have ever experienced in my 24 year walk with Jesus. Thoughts of suicide run through my mind all day and I have been attacked over and over again with feelings of fear based on the evil one’s lies regarding my salvation. I have never experienced such attacks on my confidence in Christ ever! The depression has been crushing me!

I know the Lord and I know His Word. I know what He has done for me and I know I’m not condemned! Jesus was right there with me when I stopped breathing! The evil one is a liar and I rebuke him in the Name of Jesus!

The devil lies and tells me the sins I have committed after accepting Christ are not forgiven and I am abandoned and condemned. The devil lies and tells me that is why I’m not healed. The devil lies and tells me I am forsaken and pathetic. The devil lies and beats me over the head with the sins I’ve committed during my walk with Christ, and makes me feel shame that is paralyzing. It’s like my mind is being torn apart and I have been suffering great anguish every day. The devil twists Scripture and thoughts run through my mind that I’m worse than an unbeliever because I can’t even provide for myself or my family and I should just die. That they would be better off without me and a real man would set his family free from the suffering and take himself out.

I rebuke the devil’s lies by crying out to Jesus to rebuke him, and I recite the truth in God’s Word! There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ! Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me! I am not abandoned! I am not condemned! My sins are forgiven and God does not want me to kill myself! Please have mercy on me, Jesus!

Please pray for me! It is a little after 1 a.m. here on the East coast. I am not looking forward to the morning. I am so tired and I don’t want to suffer anymore. I need to be able to eat and gain weight. I am literally wasting away! I cannot be in constant pain constantly going to the bathroom with no end in sight! It is maddening and I need help! The doctors don’t ever help me. I need a miracle!

I know God can do all things! I know nothing is impossible for God! If you know my testimony, then you know why I can say that with full confidence. The Lord has done amazing miracles in my life. Casting out demons, saving me and speaking to me by using angels, and he saved me by a miracle when I stopped breathing in 2012. I know God can heal me! I know He can stop the pain and help me get better! Please Lord, have mercy on me!

I come before the Lord and all of you tonight as a broken man. I am nothing. I am a sinner. I am only saved by God’s grace through my faith in Jesus. I have made so many mistakes in my walk with Christ, and I have sinned shamefully many times. I have not always followed Him faithfully, but He has always been faithful to me. I don’t want to die! I want to live! I want to be here for my wife and kids, but this is no way to live. I am barely surviving this disease, and my days have been drenched in such terrible suffering that I don’t know how much more I can take. My flesh is weak, but the Holy Spirit inside me is strong. It is only the Spirit in me that I can even write this tonight.

I want to be strong for my family. I want to work again and provide for them. I want to be here to see my kids grow up and see my grand kids someday! All of my hopes and dreams are fading. I am only 42 and I am having serious problems with my digestive system. I have to be able to eat! I am slowly starving to death! At this point in my life, I can’t imagine living another year let alone another 20 to 30. What will my gut, intestines, and colon be like in another 20 years! It’s ridiculous! I’m in pain and I need healing! The mental anguish alone is enough to drive a person totally crazy!

I want to serve Jesus and keep preaching the Gospel. I pray He is pleased with me and pleased with this blog. I know I haven’t always said things right. I know I’ve made mistakes and I’ve been harsh and aggressive at times. Forgive me if I have discouraged or hurt you in any way. I want to speak the truth in love with gentleness and respect, but I am not perfect in it, or in anything for that matter. Jesus is perfect. I am a sinful man saved by grace and the only goodness, righteousness, and holiness in me is Jesus!

I have asked Jesus to forgive all my sins, and the truth is all my sins are behind His back! He has separated my sins from me as far as the east is from the west, and He remembers them no more! He is not looking at me through a record of wrongs and He does not count my sins against me! I am fully forgiven and redeemed in the Blood of Jesus Christ and I claim that great and glorious victory by faith! That is the truth I know from God’s Word, and the devil’s lies will never triumph over God’s Truth!

None of us who follow Jesus have followed Him perfectly. We all need His grace, mercy, and forgiveness throughout our entire walk with Him! We all struggle with sin and it is the Lord who will see us through to the end. It is the Lord who is faithful and He will bring us safely into His Heavenly Kingdom!

Please pray that God will stop the attacks on my mind and please pray that He will heal me in His great mercy! I am a child of God! I declare with all my heart that I love and believe in Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is Lord, and I believe God raised Him from the dead! I am not abandoned! I am loved and saved and I have eternal life in Jesus! Please stop the pain, Lord! Please help me! In Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus, please have mercy on me and glorify Your Name in my healing! Let it be yet another amazing part of my miraculous testimony and let many come to know You through it, amen!

I don’t want to go to bed because I don’t want to wake up in pain having to fight this disease all day. I bow before the Lord in great fear and reverence as I wait for Him to answer me. Please don’t just say a passing prayer for me. Please cry out to the Lord to have mercy on me! I don’t know how else I will survive this. It has just become too much to bear and I want it to be over now. I hope He will give me strength, help me eat, help me gain weight, take away the pain, and help me get back to serving Him by preaching His Word on this blog every day.

I repent for all my sins. Anybody I have ever hurt or sinned against, please forgive me. This disease has destroyed my life. Thank you for praying for me!

Grace and peace to you all!

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

-Ephesians 2:8-9

“Blessed are they

whose transgressions are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man

whose sin the Lord will never count

against him.”

“Surely it was for my benefit

that I suffered such anguish.

In your love you kept me

from the pit of destruction;

you have put all my sins

behind your back.”

Giving Thanks In 2020

It is almost 3 a.m. here in Florida. I went to bed at midnight, but I can’t sleep. As many of you know, I have been dealing with a resurgence of suffering from Celiac this month. It has been a very long November. Chronic fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite have been ruling my days, and I have been crying out for mercy. It will be 9 years fighting this life-ruining disease on January 6th, 2021, and I don’t want to fight it anymore. I’m not sure why I’m up or what I’m supposed to write, but today is Thanksgiving here in America, so I’ll start by saying Happy Thanksgiving!

What a strange and dangerous time we are living in. There are people like Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau admitting to the globalist plan of using Covid as “The Great Reset” to achieve the goals of their United Nations “2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.” We also have tyrant Governors issuing unconstitutional mandates that violate our freedom and rights, while the entire Democrat party, Big Tech, and the media attempts to steal our election and overthrow our Republic.

Above all this, the spiritual warfare has intensified as we approach the birth of the one world government, and we wait with great hope for Jesus to take us home. The people who serve the evil one will never be able to stop our faith or our praise to God! They have abused their power in every way they can to shut down churches, stop our singing, and even make gathering to give thanks to God a crime, but they will not beat us. Our victory comes from Jesus Christ alone and we stand victorious because He already won the war at the cross!

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.”

-1 Corinthians 15:3-5

There is a great stirring of the Spirit happening right now! Can you feel it?! Millions of Christians all over the world have been talking about feeling something big coming. Even unbelievers sense it. We don’t know the exact time or date when Jesus will return to rapture us home before the Tribulation, but it might very well happen in our lifetime!

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda use to be called Agenda 21. The new world order globalists changed the name several years ago because truth speakers blew the lid off Agenda 21, which is a detailed plan by the United Nations for a one world government. They are using Covid as the Trojan Horse to dominate the globe and usher in their new world order based on communist dictatorships. They want the whole world enslaved like China. It all goes back to their evil commandments called the Georgia Guidestones, and they are deadly serious about fulfilling those goals. Their very first goal is to get the world population down to 500 million, and that is why you see them aggressively working towards depopulation worldwide. They have to kill over 7.5 billion people to achieve that evil goal!

The Covid death numbers are not real, they are a lie to control and manipulate you with fear. 250,000 people have NOT died from Covid in America! Even the CDC admitted that only 6% of those deaths were actually due to Covid! This whole thing is literally about taking over the world. The antichrist will rule the coming one world government and he must be revealed before the Tribulation. This is no conspiracy. This is Bible prophecy being fulfilled in our time, and we must be ready with our eyes on Jesus!

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.”

-2 Thessalonians 2:7-8

Speaking of conspiracies, nobody is calling me a conspiracy theorist anymore! God has been using me to connect the dots for people for many years. Agenda 21 is not a conspiracy. It is right in our faces and it is a menacing threat to all of us on earth! Forced masks, forced vaccines, forced digital ID, no rights, no borders, no sovereignty, no freedom. That is what they want and that is what they are doing, and they admit it!

These lockdowns imposed illegally by Democrat Governors are not about Covid. They are about subverting our Constitution in a dramatic coup to destroy America with communism. They are setting up check points, establishing curfews, and violently assaulting people who don’t comply with mask mandates. What’s next, a giant wall and Gestapo goons? This is not America, folks! We all better stand together and fight back, or we are going to lose our country to evil!

Nobody in this country has the right to slam you on the ground and arrest you for not wearing a mask. Nobody has the right to cancel your family business, or cancel Thanksgiving, or tell you what to do in your own home. Do not let them control your lives with fear, lies, and abuse of power! Stand your ground and give Praise to God! The law, the Constitution, and God are all on our side!

It is almost 6 a.m. now. My wife and kids will be up in a few hours, and it’s going to be a blessed and joyful day full of praising God! We will enjoy homemade cinnamon rolls, turkey, mashed taters, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole, and all the other goodies that make Thanksgiving so down home special in America! If we had a bunch of family living nearby, we would have them all over to celebrate too, and nobody here in Florida would stop us! Do you know why? Because we are FREE AMERICANS living in a free state with a Governor who protects and defends our God-given Constitutional rights! Nobody in this country has the legal authority to stop you from celebrating Thanksgiving with your family, nobody! They cannot enter your home, they cannot harass you, they cannot arrest you, and if they do, then they are breaking the law, not you!

I’m not wearing a mask, I’m not taking the vaccine, and I’m never taking any kind of mark, microchip, or digital ID! We must stand firm against this tide of evil! We must live in the truth and be brave! Jesus is coming soon!

“Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.”

-Jesus speaking in Revelation 22:7

Do not lose hope, and don’t ever let them stop you from pouring out your gratitude and praise to God! Every single mandate that is unconstitutional should be ignored and treated as the tyrannical decrees they are. Those who hate God are trying to make our faith and everything connected to it illegal. Don’t let them! Fear God, not man!

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.”

-Proverbs 29:25

Even after all my suffering and all the insanity in this world, there is still so much to be thankful for! God is so very good, gracious, merciful, and forgiving to us! May we give praise and thanks to God for every good and perfect gift He has blessed our families with, and may we never be ensnared by the fear of man!

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

To all my fellow Americans, we are a free people! Live free, worship God freely, give thanks to God freely, sing to God freely, and celebrate Thanksgiving with your families in peace and freedom under the grace of God! May those who are fighting God with their evil tyranny see the error of their ways, and come to faith in Jesus! May our faith, courage, and resolve be a warning and a testimony to them that God is above us all and every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, amen!

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.”

-1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Grace and peace to you all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

24 Years Of Faithfulness

Photo by Ryan, Daniels Park, Douglas County, Colorado

October is a very special month to me. 24 years ago, in October of 1996, Jesus saved my soul! I don’t remember the exact date, but I know it was a Friday and I’m pretty sure it was the second Friday that October. It was my freshman year in college and I had just left a terrifying supernatural ordeal that lasted the entire 4 years I was in high school. The Lord found me broken, hurting, confused, and angry, and He lifted me up and filled me with His healing and love! He gave me a new life, filled me with the Holy Spirit, and set me on a new path that has continued to this day! Thank You, Jesus!

When I say 24 years of faithfulness, I am not talking about myself. For the last 24 years of my life I have followed Jesus, but I have not always been faithful to Him. I have made many mistakes and fallen many times, but through it all the Lord has been absolutely 100% faithful to me! When the Lord saved me, I was a broken 18 year old teenager who used alcohol and partying to numb the pain from living in a nightmare. I hated God and Christians, and I never thought I would ever accept Jesus. I am so thankful that He had mercy on me!

Where I have sinned or faltered in my walk with Him, Jesus has never left me. He has disciplined me, pruned me, even punished me in His great love, but He has never left me and He never will. He has always been faithful to forgive and restore me. The number one thing I want all people to know about my relationship with Jesus is that He has been so very faithful to me! When He said, “no one can snatch them out of my hand,” He meant it! We can take Jesus at His word and trust Him with all our hearts!

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

-Jesus speaking in John 10:27-30

Many of you already know my testimony and you know about my book “One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life.” For any new folks here on my blog, my testimony is filled with supernatural experiences and miracles that will challenge what you perceive to be reality, and hopefully, show you just how much God loves you. The Lord gave me the gift of evangelism 24 years ago and He has been using me to share my testimony and preach the Gospel ever since. With all my heart I want you to know that God loves you, Jesus is alive and He loves you, and everything the Bible says is true!

When I was in 8th grade, back in 1991, my Dad got a new job in Illinois. Unfortunately, we ended up moving into a house that was possessed. For 4 years when I was in high school, our family lived with an evil spirit (a demon) that tormented us. It did many terrifying things, including turning lights on and off, knocking pictures off the wall, kicking our dog, making a breathing noise in my ear, showing itself to my sister one night, lighting a candle, and many other things that just about ruined our lives. We were not Christians back then, so we did not know what to do. We told a few people what was happening, but we mostly just stayed quiet about it and tried to live our lives like normal. It was terrifying and insane.

After Jesus saved me in October of 1996, I went home that Christmas break and the very first thing I did upon walking through the front door was run all through the house going room to room rebuking the demon out in the Name of Jesus! We never had any more trouble after that, and my Dad, Mom, and sister all ended up getting saved! Facing real evil will send you running into the arms of Jesus!

2 years later in the summer of 1998, my very strange supernatural life continued as I had two encounters with God’s angels that strengthened my faith and gave me an even deeper understanding that nothing is impossible for God. The first time, an angel rescued me by carrying me away from a man who was chasing me with a butcher knife on the streets of Denver. The second time, an angel appeared to me in my friend’s house and gave me a message that God had something for me to do. We ended up saving a woman from a dangerous situation that night. Heaven and hell are very real, both angels and demons really do exist, and we all desperately need Jesus to save us!

In 2012, my life took another strange turn as I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease on January 6th that year. Then on April 28th, 2012, the Lord did the most powerful miracle of my life when He saved me by the power of the Holy Spirit after I stopped breathing due to anaphylactic shock. I am alive today because Jesus lives! Jesus saved my life by angelic protection and He protected me and put me back in my body after I died in 2012! Jesus is the resurrection and the life and Jesus is Lord!!!

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

-John 11:25-26

Please read my posts “Remember that time when…” and “My Lazarus Moment” to learn the details of those amazing experiences!

Through it all, the Lord has been so faithful to me! Even through all the pain and suffering with Celiac Disease, Jesus is always with me and He always strengthens me, comforts me, and gives me peace. For the last 8 years and 10 months of my life, I have fought this disease by the power of the Holy Spirit. All the supernatural events and miracles have given me great encouragement during my time of suffering. I know without any doubt that Jesus Christ is real and He is alive, and I will testify of His great love for His glory until my very last breath!

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

-Romans 8:38-39

It is almost Halloween, the celebration I most despise. I warn you as I have before, do not mess around with evil. Do not watch the scary movies, do not take it lightly, and do not allow evil into your home. It is not funny and it is not a game! There is nothing fun or funny about the evil one, his demons, or hell. Flee from all of that sin and death, and honor the Lord!

It has been very difficult for me to write consistently lately. Those of you who have been reading my blog for the last 2 years, know that I use to write just about every day, but sometimes I need to rest when I’m fighting bad episodes with Celiac. It has been difficult since moving here to Florida back in July, and the last 2 weeks have been very painful. My small intestine is damaged, so I have issues with the digestive process. I’ve been dealing with the hot nausea that knocks me to my knees, intestinal pain, and loss of appetite again. It’s almost impossible to write when I’m that sick and I just can’t get out of the bathroom. It is also very lonely and difficult to bear at times, but the Lord is always faithful to lift me up. Thank you for your prayers!

The Lord has been refining me in the furnace of affliction, and I submit to Him and His will. With all the Lord has done for me and my family, I know full well that He can do anything at anytime, and that includes healing me. I know with all my heart that He will finish the work He started in me because He is faithful and He has proven that to me time and time again the last 24 years!

If you don’t know Jesus, please come to Him before it’s too late! The signs of the end times are all around us, and although we don’t know how much time we have left, we do know Jesus is coming soon. Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, and Jesus will forgive you and save your soul!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

-Romans 10:9

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-Jesus speaking in John 3:16

If you know Jesus, but you have fallen into sin, please repent and turn back to the Lord! It is never too late! Jesus still loves you, He has redeemed you, and He still accepts you as His own! Don’t listen to the devil’s lies! Jesus is faithful and nothing can snatch you out of His hand. Read Hebrews 12, submit to His loving discipline, and return to Him. He loves you forever!

My name is Ryan Callahan and this is my testimony before God and man. Every word is true and I pray the Lord uses it all to lead many souls to salvation! May God’s will be done in all things! Jesus is alive, Jesus loves you, and Jesus will always be faithful to you!

Grace and peace to you all!

“Praise the LORD, all you nations;

extol him, all you peoples.

For great is his love toward us,

and the faithfulness of the LORD

endures forever.

Praise the LORD.”

-Psalm 117:1-2

Jesus Is Still The Answer

Photo by Ryan, Venice Beach, Florida, July 2020

Jesus started his ministry when He was 33. That was 1,987 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but we are still on the same earth dealing with the same sins. Despite all the modern inventions and technology, we still see the same violent rebellion against God, and it is getting worse. People are scared of death. That is really what is driving this entire psychological operation of virus fear mongering we are all living through. People don’t want to die, and they have deep and serious questions regarding their soul and eternity. I’m here to tell you, Jesus is still the answer in 2020 and He will be the answer forever!

My Great Great Grandpa was killed by lighting when he was about my age in his early 40s. He was trying to get the horses in the barn during a storm. They found him with a hole in his hat from where the lighting had struck him in the head. Whether it is from a lighting bolt, a virus, a heart attack, or whatever other dangers we face, we will all take our last breath someday. That seems scary and people don’t like talking about that hard truth, but we don’t have to be afraid with Jesus. He defeated sin and death at the cross, and He set us free from the fear of death!

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil-and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”

-Hebrews 2:14-15

People are scared of death because the evil one holds that power over the world and he makes people slaves to it. There is only One who can release you from that evil fear and set you free, and His Name is Jesus! When Jesus died on the cross for the sins of all mankind, He destroyed the devil and set the captives free! God, in His great love, poured out His love and grace on the world and opened the Way to Heaven through the Blood of His Son!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

-Jesus speaking in John 3:16

Do you want to be free from the evil one and that evil fear? Then believe in Jesus! Turn from the sin and wickedness in this world and give your life to the One who loves your soul!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

-John 14:6

There is only one Way to Heaven. God’s one and only Son is Jesus, and only Jesus died for our sins. No other name in all creation has ever done that or could ever do that! Indeed death is coming for us all, but those who know Jesus Christ already stand victorious over death! Our sins have been forgiven and we stand reconciled with God! When I stopped breathing on 4-28-2012 (see my post My Lazarus Moment), Jesus was right there with me comforting and protecting me! There was no fear! There was no pain! I was in perfect peace with my Savior who loves me!

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

-Acts 4:12

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

-Romans 6:23

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”

-Romans 8:1-2

The Lord put me back in my body that day and I am only alive because of Jesus. Thank You, Jesus! We have all sinned and we all desperately need God’s grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. Give those burdens, sins, and fears to Jesus! He will forgive you and make you new in the power of the Holy Spirit! Yes, God will actually fill you with His Holy Spirit, which empowers you to live a righteous life that pleases God!

-Romans 3:22-24

-Ephesians 1:13-14

“The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

-Galatians 5:19-23

You don’t have to be afraid anymore. Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, and Jesus is waiting for you with open arms!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

-Romans 10:9

Grace and peace to you all!

Can’t Cancel God by Bryson Gray

There is a new Christian album out right now that went straight to #1 on iTunes within hours of its release! That album was made by my friend and brother in Christ, Bryson Gray! If you have been reading my blog for awhile, then you know Bryson is on fire for Jesus, and he preaches the truth boldly. He and I are a lot alike in how we preach the truth of God’s Word and the Gospel unashamed. He is also a strong American Patriot like me and he speaks the truth about all things, including society and politics. His new album “Can’t Cancel God” is a Holy Spirit filled weapon that cuts down the lies of the evil one, and pierces the darkness with the light of Jesus! Bryson loves Jesus with all his heart, and like he says, “this is not the Christian music that you’re used to.” This is God bringing His army toe to toe against the evil one and his wicked influence over culture worldwide! This is spiritual warfare and this is how soldiers of God fight back!

“I know we’re at war, the devil runnin’ the culture. A warrior for God, so I’m gonna fight until it’s over. I gave my life to the Lord and then He made me a soldier. Ya’ll can take all of the money, I’m never givin’ my soul up!”
Bryson Gray, From song “God Wins”, Can’t Cancel God

It is so encouraging and refreshing to see God rising up soldiers and sending them into battle! Bryson and I have been fighting side by side in the trenches on Twitter for a long time. It’s amazing to see how God has moved in his life! He is a humble man of God who just recently became famous this year after the booming success of his albums “Maga Ain’t Got No Color” and “Maga Szn.” You may remember my post about Bryson titled, “You’re My Brother.” Despite all the attention and success, Bryson remains humble and close to his brothers and sisters who have supported him from the start. He is flying all over the country doing shows, but he still takes time to hit me back on Twitter when I send him an encouraging word. It has been an honor and a blessing to fight alongside him in the hate filled trenches of Twitter.

Bryson is an independent artist and he remains that way because he always puts God first. He is not going to sell out to some big record label that controls his speech. He preaches the bold truth straight from God’s Word, and he will not be silenced! In a culture that wants to cancel God and kick Him and His Word out of society, God’s people will stand firm and declare that God will never be cancelled! God’s warriors will always rise up and we will preach the truth until our very last breath! The Kingdom of Heaven is advancing forcefully and nothing can stop it, amen!

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.”
Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:12

Please support my brother in Christ and buy his new album! The beats are excellent and the truth flowing through every song is so refreshing! It is amazing to see his album at #1 on the charts, and it shows us that we don’t need the evil system of Hollywood and the media to be successful in music or movies or any other artistic avenue! God is using independent Christian artists to break through the lies and hate, and we are victorious by His power and grace! We are standing up to the wickedness in our culture, and millions of people are seeing the light!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6

If you believe in Jesus, keep going! Keep fighting the good fight and never give up! Whether you are a writer or musician or artist or poet or whatever other gifts God has given you, the Lord can and will make an impact through you for His glory! In a world that twists and distorts God’s Word and calls evil good and good evil, we must stand firm in God’s truth! We must take up the sword of the Spirit and charge the enemy! Take the fight right to his doorstep and kick the door down in the power of the Holy Spirit!

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:10-13

God’s warriors fight to call people out of darkness, and that is exactly what Bryson does in his new album. It is a call to come out of this dark world and wake up to the Light! It is a warning to repent and a call to come running to Jesus before it’s too late! May the Lord use “Can’t Cancel God” to open up minds and hearts to the truth, and save souls! May He glorify His Holy Name through His people, and spread revival through the world!

“to say to the captives, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Be free!’…”
Isaiah 49:9

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.”
Ephesians 6:14-18

To my brother in Christ, Bryson: keep standing firm, brother! We are praying for you and we are with you! Jesus is with us and He will never leave us! It has been awesome and encouraging fighting this war alongside you! We have received so much hate, but as you say on your new album and as Jesus told us, “the persecuted are blessed!” May the Lord fan into flame the gifts He has given His people, and may we be found faithful and strong in Him! My armor is on, my shield is up, and my sword is ready! See you back in the trenches, brother! You showed them all that they can’t cancel God! Jesus Christ is Lord!

“This is not the Christian music that you’re used to. There’s a lot of false prophets tryin’ to confuse you. God said, “You got talent, let me use you.” Give yourself to the Lord, become a new you! Okay, I know the devil tryin’ to get me, I say no way. I’m gonna tell you what these false teachers won’t say, it’s either God or the world, you can’t go both ways, can’t go both ways.”
Bryson Gray, From song “God’s Soldier”, Can’t Cancel God

Grace and peace to you all!
