Father's Day Message

 

This will not be a typical Father's Day message.  It will not be politically correct.  It will no doubt offend some people. However, this is from my perspective and not that of the Church. 

I was born on July 15th, 1948, to Moody and Garnet Truitt.  Both my parent were white, which makes me white.  I was not given a choice as to what race I would be born.  I was not given a choice of who my parents would be and their race.  I had no choice in the matter of my birth.  My gender was determined by my parents' genetics, not by the doctor or the hospital I was born in.  You see, there was nothing I could do to change the events of my birth.  I am a white male by birth.  Over the years, I have come to accept who I am and that this is the way God wanted me to be.  My parents treated everyone with respect regardless of their skin color and taught their children to do the same. 

The first Church I pastored was Robert's Chapel.  The oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church in Indiana.  I graduated with a BA from Martin University, an African American University.  I was often the only white person in my class.  I served on the M.G. Raby Distinguished Service Award Committee for several years as the only white male on the committee.  This award recognized individuals whose efforts, deeds, and examples support equal justice, opportunities for all and celebrate diversity within the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township.

Laverna and I spent almost two years living among the Shoshone Indians on the Wind River Reservation in Wyo.  I know what it is to be a minority.  I know what it is to be hated because I am white.  What I don't understand is how my being white makes me a racist?  I thought that it was vital that we judged people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.  Today, I am judged by my skin color, and because it is white, I am born a racist.  What bothers me about this is some are calling for the death of every white person in America to bring an end to racism.

What does this have to do with father's day?  When my parents decided to have children, they didn't base that decision on making a bunch of white racists.  Today, parents need to consider the attitude of the WOKE community and the safety of their children.  The world has changed dramatically for the white race and especially the white male.  Parents now must decide if they want their children hating themselves because they are white?  It concerns me that it is white teachers and school officials pushing this agenda of hate.  What has happened to our world?

I watched a Senate hearing this week where an Admiral in the Navy required every sailor to read a book that calls every white person a racist and the Navy a racist organization.  What has happened to our world?

For at least four decades, white males have been under continuous assault as bearers of "white privilege" and beneficiaries of sexism. Of course, particular preferences and privileges have been granted to other groups, but that is the least of it.  More importantly, the very basis of the psychological self-worth of white males has been under attack.  White males are frequently instructed by authority figures in education and the media that they are responsible for most of the evils of the modern world, that the achievements of Euro-American civilization are a net loss for humanity, stained by exploitation, racism, unfairness, and every other collective evil the progressive mind can manufacture.

Some white males are relatively unscathed by psychological warfare, but others are more vulnerable. Those who have educational, financial, or employment achievements that have rewarded their efforts may be able to keep going as productive members of society, their self-esteem resting on tangible fruits of their work and social position. But other white males, especially those who work with their hands and have been seeing job opportunities disappear, have been losing the basis for a robust sense of self-worth as their job opportunities disappear.  This has contributed to the high numbers of white male deaths in the United States due to stress and heart disease.

Just as community organizer Saul Alinsky, in his textbook for Marxist street thugs, Rules for Radicals, advised his minions, constant drumbeats have the potential to wear down resolve and win social and cultural wars.  For years now, the object of left-wing pressure has been to undermine the status and reputation of straight white conservative males. If you are a Christian white male, you now are considered a "domestic terrorist."

To eradicate the white guy problem in America, Caucasians with XY chromosomes, who self-identify as the sex they were at birth, are portrayed by the left as misogynist, bigoted, homophobic, violent troublemakers in need of exposure, and chastisement. Unfortunately, this constant message is being sounded all across this country and in our schools.

 We hear daily that conservative white males are genetically flawed, historical figures are being unfairly held to 21st-century cultural and political standards.  Even Confederate General Robert E. Lee tucked away in a grave since 1870, has not escaped retroactive ridicule from the left for his political identification and pale skin color.

This is what is facing American fathers today.  How can children honor their fathers when they are being taught by the MSM, schoolteachers, government officials, and even pastors that their white father is evil.

 Conservative activist Candace Owens told host Maria Bartiromo children should not be allowed to attend schools that teach them how "not to be racist."

After Bartiromo accused schools of "assuming every kid is a racist," Owens, who said she thinks it's time to "pull our kids out of school," said core subjects like math and science are being replaced by lessons that teach kids "how to hate white people."

Owens continued, "It's indoctrination that's happening. They're trying to fuel race issues in this county, they're trying to teach this Marxist ideology, and the bad thing is they're replacing hard academics. These kids are not learning math and science, they're not learning mathematics, they're learning how to hate white people and how to hate their country, and this is problematic for the future."

The expanding use of Critical Race Theory in K-12 classrooms has prompted some parents to file lawsuits against school districts or pull their children out of the schools entirely.

Owens referred to former FOX News host Megyn Kelly's decision to pull her sons out of their "woke," "far-left" New York City school.

Kelly announced in November 2020 that she was leaving the city and pulling her sons from the Collegiate School in Manhattan after a letter circulated among faculty after George Floyd died saying, "White school districts across the country [are] full of future killer cops."

The letter read, "A killer cop is sitting in every school where white children learn," Webber wrote in June. "They gleefully soak in their whitewashed history that downplays the holocaust of indigenous native peoples and Africans in the Americas. They happily believe their all-white spaces exist as a matter of personal effort and willingly use violence against black bodies to keep those spaces white."

Kelly said the letter was proof the school had "gone off the deep end." On her podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show," she questioned, "Which boy in my kid's school is the future killer cop? Is it my boy? Which boy is it? Because I don't happen to believe that they're in there."

Owens told Bartiromo that schools are "100 percent biased" and that it was time for parents to start suing schools. "They will win if they start suing schools for this sort of stuff because it is blatant discrimination," she said.

Last month, a Black mom filed a suit against her biracial, white-passing son's public charter school after he allegedly received a failing grade in the class "Sociology of Change" for failing to confess his "white dominance."

An elite Manhattan school is teaching white students as young as 6 that they’re born racist and should feel guilty benefiting from “white privilege,” while heaping praise and cupcakes on their black peers.

Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side claim it’s a novel approach to fighting discrimination, and that several other private New York schools are doing it, but even liberal parents aren’t buying it.

They complain the K-8 school of 430 kids is separating whites in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” and all the “kids of color” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges.

Teaching even one child these divisive messages would verge on psychological abuse. Indoctrinating generations of children with these extreme ideas is not just immoral — it is a program for national suicide. Yet that is exactly what the Biden administration endorsed recently in a rule published in the Federal Register aimed at inflicting a critical race theory-inspired curriculum on American schoolchildren.

The rule explicitly cites the New York Times’ discredited “1619 Project” as a motivation. The Times has described the goal of its endeavor as the “re-education” of the American people, and the project even includes a lesson plan that encourages students to practice “erasing” parts of the Declaration of Independence. The Biden rule also directly cites a left-wing activist and leading proponent of critical race theory whose textbook states, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

This is what the Biden administration wants to teach America’s children.

The Department of Education rule stems from an executive order Biden signed on his first day in office. Biden’s order abolished the Trump President’s Advisory 1776 Commission created to honor America’s founding principles, and reversed an executive action to stop depraved theories from being imposed upon federal employees in workforce training sessions.

Thankfully, most Americans oppose this insanity. The left has only gotten away with it until this point because not enough parents have been paying attention and speaking up. But that is quickly changing. From Loudoun County, Va., to Cupertino, Calif., parents are beginning to make their voices heard against the left-wing cultural revolution.

I know we are a white church, but we should not be ashamed of how God has made us.  Nor should we subject our children to an ideology that teaches them to hate who they are and how they are made.  Jesus said we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.  If I cannot love who God has made me be, how can I love my neighbor?

One last thing, how is Sugar Plain going to address the issue of Critical Race Theory?  Are we going to allow our children to be shamed for being who God made them?  Are we going to ignore this issue like we do so many other social problems?  Maybe it is time that we provide our children a haven for learning?  Sugar Plain was a schoolhouse before it was a church. For 66 years, Sugar Plain Friends Church supported Sugar Plain Academy to give their children a Biblical Worldview.  Maybe it is time to get back to our roots.  Pray for our fathers.

The Authority of God

 Some in our church have been studying the events that are taking place in our nation and how evil has gained so much control in the past few months.  As Christians, we have been seeking what we should do to fight the corruption spreading across our nation.  Paul warned us that we are not fighting a ground battle against evil; we fight a war against powerful entities in the heavens.  These power control nations and move men to do evil against mankind.  There is not one nation on this earth that is under the control of the LORD.  There are even fewer churches that are under the power of the LORD.  Many within the church know nothing about the warfare that is taking place every day.  Churches have emulated the world for so long that they have lost their relevance to society.  Many within the church are unsaved and never have come to the knowledge of salvation.  We have been reduced to a social gathering and no longer a warrior priesthood.

 

When Paul used the illustration of putting on God's armor, he used the most fearful warrior he could picture at that time-- a Roman soldier.  Today, when we talk about the armor of God, we have no idea what we are talking about.  We lack the power even to be a force on the battlefield.  We are not trained to handle the weapons God has given to us. Yet, we believe that if we think we have put on the armor, we are safe.  Military people are not given weapons to use until they are qualified to use them.

 

We have Christians going on the battlefield thinking that they will be protected by all the armor God has provided.  Not so.  It would be best if you learned how to use it first.  We go to battle against the demons and evil spirits; they laugh at us because they know we have not come under the power and authority of the LORD.  They know we are still serving the devil.  The Christian is to be holy as the LORD is holy; that is a command.  To fulfill that command, we must yield to the authority of God in our life.  We seek the things of the Kingdom over the things of this earth.  We are not subject to the rule of the principalities in high place but under the authority of God.

What does it mean to under the authority of God?

Matthew 8:5-10 and when Jesus entered Capernaum a centurion came to Him imploring Him and saying Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home fearfully tormented and Jesus said to him I will come and heal him but the centurion said Lord I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof but just say the word and my servant will be healed for I am also a man under authority with soldiers under me I say to this one go and he goes and to another come and he comes and to my slave do this and he does it now when Jesus heard this He marveled and said to those who were following truly I say to you I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel what is it that would cause the son of God to marvel it says Jesus marveled He was astonished what astonished Him the faith of this man and the amazing thing this was not a man who was a part of Israel he was not a part of the covenant this was a gentile man and Jesus said this man has more faith than anyone of the household of faith this man has a greater understanding of what faith actually is what is it that He's talking about here He's talking about the exercise of authority this man understood that when authority is released power goes with that authority he understood the power of a word he understood that Jesus could just speak a word and it would release power from God to bring healing to his servant Jesus didn't need to physically go there and lay hands on him that His word released authority so the question would be how do we get that kind of authority?

That authority came with salvation, but many have never learned how to walk in that authority, and here he reveals a principle this man said I am a man under authority. I understand that when my boss speaks and releases authority, I obey his command, so I know that when you speak, all of creation has to obey you because you are God almighty. Jesus said, wow, I wish everybody would get that revelation; that's the revelation that we need today.

 When I speak His word, it releases His power, not my word in and of itself that has any authority or any power His word because I'm under His authority.  Coming under authority requires obedience.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corth. 10:3-6

The source of every spiritual battle you fight is rooted in one of three things: the world, your flesh, or the devil. And, a massive part of each battle takes place in your mind. Thus, we were given the helmet of salvation to protect our minds.

The problem is our helmets cannot protect us if we have the devil in our mind.  God places great importance on your mind, and He created you so that you will always move in the direction of your dominant thoughts. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." What and how you think affects every area of your life.

It's pretty simple: the way you think is the way you live. Your thoughts shape your habits and control your life. God intends that His words would influence all your thoughts and actions. Jesus said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (Luke 4:4). That is what should be normal for us.

Most people assume the way they think is "normal," but that is not necessarily so. Our culture, traditions, how we were raised, and the things we experience fill us with thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Unfortunately, many of these are far from what God says is normal.

The Apostle Paul talks about how God has equipped us to deal with thoughts that do not line up with His Word. He said, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

We need to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. This means that there will be thoughts that come into our minds that we need to reject. These thoughts – the ones we should reject but do not – can become strongholds.

Strongholds are the result of wrong thinking or beliefs that have taken root in your life. They are contrary to God's thoughts and are most often inspired by the devil's lies – lies you believe about yourself, God, or others – and they give the devil a stronghold on your actions, behaviors, and habits. The more intensely you believe these lies, the stronger the hold.

 

If we have strongholds in our minds, we are not living under the authority of God.  Salvation is transforming the mind to change your behavior.  It is not by prayer; it is by action.  You can pray a thousand prayers, but your behavior will not change if you do not renew your mind. If you do not change how you think, you will not change how you act because as you think in your heart, so are you.

Strongholds don't just sit in your mind doing nothing. Instead, they produce actions, behaviors, and habits that seem impossible to get rid of no matter what you try. It is like being in a boat that is filling up with water. You can grab a bucket and work hard at getting the water out of the boat, but the water is not the problem.

The problem is that there is a hole in the bottom of the boat. Until you plug the hole, you are going to keep getting water in the boat. All the hard work in the world will not get the water out.

The hole in the bottom of a boat is like a stronghold. It is something you believe that causes certain behavior or habits. You can try hard to get rid of the behavior, but it just keeps coming back like the water. You cannot get rid of the habit until you change what you believe. That is how you plug the hole.

When you change what you believe, you will change what you do. As you think in your heart, so will you be.

James 5:16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed—the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

I asked God to show me any strongholds I had in my mind.  Things that would hinder me from being under God's authority things that would give the devil a place in my mind.  How can I win the battle if the enemy is already in my mind?

Here is what the LORD showed me.  Some people in this church irritate me, and the LORD showed me I need to repent and stop letting Satan push my buttons.  My dad used to say; if I know where your goat is tied, I can let it loose at any time.  Satan knows where our goat is tied, and he will let it loose whenever. So we allow Satan to use people to get to us. So I asked God to forgive me.  I didn't ask him to change the people who irritate me but change my thinking to transform my mind. I am the one with the stronghold in my mind.  After service, don't come to me and ask if You were the one who irritated me.  You need to ask God if you have been allowing Satan to use you to hinder others.  Clear out the stronghold in your mind and put yourself under the authority of God.

If we are to be successful on the battlefield of life, we must come under the authority of God.  That means complete surrender, yielding to His will.  We cannot allow the devil to build strongholds in our minds.  We cannot win the battle if the enemy is already in our minds.

Some people live in fear and refuse to follow through on the truth they know.  We allow Satan to control how we approach problems in our life.  There are many sprinters in life and few long-distance runners.  Some will talk about a good fight until a commitment to the battle is required.  They believe if they hide that they will escape the conflict.  The problem with this thinking is you have already lost and have surrendered to the devil.   You have to decide to come under the authority of God and trust Him that nothing can come on you unless God allows it.  Understand this open war is against you whether you accept it or not.  The only hope and power we have are under the authority of God.

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.  11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.  12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The LORD is preparing a remnant will you be in that remnant?  I told you last Sunday I intend to go to heaven, and I would like you to be there.

The Seed Wars

 

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed 

I will make you (the Serpent) and the woman (mankind) enemies to each other. Your children (the Serpent) and her children (mankind) will be enemies. You (the Serpent) will bite her child's foot, but he (Christ) will crush your head." Gen. 3:15

 

Before I begin here are some clarifications.  I am not into date setting. However, I believe we can know the times we are living in.

1Thes. 5: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

I try not to discredit those who make such predictions as being false prophets but when they continue to set dates I wonder.  I hold to a linier historical view of Bible prophecy and more literal interpretation of scripture.  I try to use the Bible to explain the Bible and not inject my feelings.  I will accept extra-biblical texts just as several of the New Testament writers have used passages from text outside the Scriptures.  The pseudepigraphal texts tell us the way the Jews of Antiquity understood their scriptures. They are an ancient witness and a valuable aid in proper exegesis.  Exegesis is about the authors intent. For instance, from these ancient witnesses like  1st Enoch there is no doubt that the Biblical author meant his reader to understand a divine being when he wrote “sons of God” in Genesis 6. The ancient sources totally support the supernatural view. As I have shown, the Old and New Testaments also overwhelmingly support the supernatural view of Genesis 6. When read in its ancient context, it is really beyond dispute exegetically.

 

This is where I put my tin-foil hat on, I do not see why it is out of line for Christians to discuss about UFOs, or fallen angels. The Bible is a supernatural book replete with demon possession and angelic conflicts.  If you take the Bible seriously, then Apollyon is going to rise from the bottomless pit one day and the Angels in bondage will be released during the end times which I believe it was around 1900.   It is really up to you whether you believe it or not, but it is indisputable that the Bible predicts it. I believe in the supernatural and see it as a foundation of our Christian faith.  Many of the things I believe have been foundational to me since my late teens.  I have accepted the supernatural events in the Scriptures as actual events that took place here on earth.

 

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (Jn 3:12O)

 

The battle is between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. Everything in life is hinged on this Scripture. Since the Garden, there has been an offensive battle taking place against mankind. If you do not understand Genesis 3:15, you have no understanding of the Bible. The entire Bible is about the conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent.  This spiritual conflict has been going on since the Fall of Adam and Eve.

 

What is the seed of the Serpent? Gen 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. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 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.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

 

The seed of the Serpent is through the fallen angels. Those who teach that the Sons of Seth saw the daughters of Cain and married them, and the results were evil men of renown are wrong. This is foolish. If godly men marry ungodly women, creating evil men of renown, why is this not happening now? The line of Seth was just as evil and the line of Cain.

 

For those who believe that Eve and Satan were the parents of Cain are out of their minds.  Read your Bible.

 

 Gen. 4:1 “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.”

 

Gen. 6, this was a supernatural event. Fallen angels came and took human women as wives, and the result was an unnatural offspring that changed the DNA that was not part of God's image. This offspring from the union of human and fallen angels set out to destroy the creation of God. The Serpent's seed polluted the bloodline of humanity and most of the animals through the fallen angels. This polluted bloodline was to prevent Jesus Christ from coming and providing salvation to mankind.

 

Satan has used these offspring of fallen angels all through history. God used the Great Flood of Noah to destroy the offspring of the fallen angels. He put these fallen angels in chains in the valleys of the world for seventy generations. He was releasing them to deceive the nations in the end times. That would have been at the beginning of the 1900s.

 

As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the LORD returns. Jesus told us when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption is near. What happened in Noah's day is happening right now.

 

The Nephilim kept appearing in the history of mankind, and they will continue to appear until the final day of judgment.  They are among us now and soon there will be a full disclosure of who they are and their plans for mankind.

 

Even after the flood, we have accounts of the Nephilim.  Genesis 15:16, KJV: "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."

 

The sin of the Amorites comes into fullness. The iniquity of the Amorites is they joined with the seed of the Serpent. In Genesis 15, God confirms His unconditional covenant with Abram. God promises Abram a multitude of descendants who will inherit the land in which Abram sojourns. God then gives Abram a brief timeline of future events: "Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there" (Genesis 15:13). And then, "In the fourth generation, your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure" (verse 16).

 

The prophecies of Genesis 15 deal with these essential events:

1. Abram would have many descendants. Those descendants would one day be taken captive and treated harshly. 

2. After four hundred years, Abram's descendants would return to Canaan. 

3. Their return would coincide with God's judgment on the Amorites in Canaan. 

 

These prophecies were fulfilled, after Joseph's death, Pharaoh enslaved the Israelites (who were living in Egypt at the time), and then, four hundred years after Joseph, Moses brought the children of Israel out of Egypt to the borders of Canaan; Joshua then led the people into Canaan and conquered some of the lands. Joshua's conquest took place only after the sin of the Canaanites had "reached its full measure" (Genesis 15:16).

 

One thing Genesis 15:16 shows is the certainty of God's judgment on the wicked. The Amorites and other Canaanites were exceedingly wicked. During the time of Moses, God gave the reason for the Canaanites' downfall: "The land was defiled, so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants" (Leviticus 18:25). God had predicted this back in Abraham's time. The Amorites were wicked, and Judgment Day was coming.

 

The question is, what defied or polluted the land?

 

Numbers 35:33 You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

 

Psalm 106:38 

They poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.  Today children are sacrificed to Planned Parenthood.

 

Jeremiah 2:7 

And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.  They paid the price for killing their children.

 

Jeremiah 16:18 

But first, I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols and have filled my inheritance with their abominations."

 

Isaiah 24:5 

The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants, for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.

 

Isaiah 24:4-6 

The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the highest people of the earth languish. The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants, for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are scorched, and few men are left.

 

 The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the Lord your God. You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

 

'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled, so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

 

 "'Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came, and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.'"

 

 But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: 17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee: 18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the Lord your God.

 

At the same time, Genesis 15:16 demonstrates God's love, mercy, and above all, His longsuffering and patience with sinful man. Rather than immediately wipe out the Amorites, God chose to wait for over four hundred years to bring judgment upon them. The enemies of God would be displaced as God settled His chosen people in the land He had promised them. Yet God's enemies did not need to remain enemies. They were given ample time to turn from their wickedness, turn to God, and be forgiven. The Amorites had a chance to repent and be saved, just as the Assyrians in Nineveh did during the time of Jonah.

 

The Amorites' sin had not escaped God's notice. He was keeping track of the measure of their sins, and, during Abraham's time, it was not yet "full." So, the Amorites were warned that judgment was coming. It is said that they did not take advantage of their time of grace. They wasted their four hundred years and continued to fill up the measure of their sin. Like most other pagan nations that Israel later encountered, the Amorites stubbornly continued in their sin until judgment finally befell them in God's own time.

 

Because the Amorites finally filled up the measure of their sin, God brought Joshua and the children of Israel against them. God's command was for the Israelites to "destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you" (Deuteronomy 20:17). The Amorites fought back, but God destroyed them before Israel and gave them the Amorites' land (Joshua 24:8). The conquest of Canaan served the dual purpose of punishing the Amorites for their sin and giving the Hebrews a land of their own.

 

Who were the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and what made God want them "Utterly" destroyed. Not to make any peace treaties, you "re to wipe these people out entirely. Why? That they teach you not to do after their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against Jehovah your God. When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees of it ( Deuteronomy 20:18-19 ).

 

The purpose of the total eradication of these nations was the horrible practices joining with the seed of the serpent-the off-spring of the Fallen angels. Israel was to destroy these hybrid beings lest they would pollute you. Now the people did not obey the Lord in this. They did save some of the cities, and thus became polluted and ultimately were driven out of the land themselves because of the pollutions that they practiced after the manner of the nations that they were to have destroyed.

 

Again, you must see it from God "s standpoint to understand it because people always have difficulty when God has ordered the total eradication of a city and people. People have a problematic understanding of God "s command of complete eradication, wiping out everything, everybody. God commanded this is the vile, horrible practices of these people, which was a duplication of Gen. 6. So, God ordered their destruction lest by their being alive, they would pollute His people and thus bring these polluting, destructive practices among His people.

 

It would be much like you being a guard at a school watching over the kindergartners. They are on the playground and observing a little dog running up the street with foam coming out of his mouth, yipping and nipping at everything. And you immediately recognize the symptoms of this dog, its actions. You know that it has hydrophobia, rabies. Now, would you be justified in killing that little rabid dog before it could get on the school grounds? Or should you sit there and say, "Oh, look at that dog. I think it has rabies. Look at it biting all of the children. My, that is not nice. The little dog should not bite children like that." The dog is rabid. It "s going to die; it cannot live if it "s got rabies. It "s doomed to die. But if you do not protect those children, many innocent little children will die because that rabid dog will infect them. So, you would be justified in killing that rabid dog.

 

You would be at fault if you did not kill that rabid dog. You would be responsible if you allowed that dog to bite the children. You would be responsible for the children's death. Therefore, for the sake of the innocent children, you must kill the rabid dog lest it infects the children.

 

Now, these people were like rabid dogs in that their practices were self-destructive. They were destroying themselves and would have killed themselves. Yet the practices, because of their nature, were infectious. There was a danger if God "s people would come in and see these vile, abominable practices that they too might enter into some of these practices, and thus become infected with this deadly sin by which God would have to judge then and eradicate his children. So, God was seeking to protect his innocent children from these destructive practices of these transhuman, and thus He ordered their eradication.

 

Other nations were involved in sin, and God did not order their eradication. It was only among the people who had joined with the seed of the Serpent. Those who were trying to circumvent the creation of God and make themselves gods. So, God was protecting his innocent children, trying to keep them from being infected by these harmful practices of the nation that inhabited this land.

 

A similar fate as befell the unrepentant Amorites awaits those who rebel against God today and reject His Son, Jesus Christ, by joining with the seed of the Serpent.  Be careful of the choices you make they may have eternal consequences.

 

We have allowed the secular world to remove the supernatural from our theology. The seed of the Serpent continues to exist all down through history. Even after the flood, the seed of the Serpent made its presence known. The entire history of the conquest of Canaan is the story of the conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. The doomed "ites" in the conquest of Canaan cannot be understood if you remove the supernatural of Gen. 6.

 

You cannot understand what is happening in the world today with the genetic engineering of DNA. You cannot understand the seriousness of the transhuman experiments taking place right now with genetic engineering with the supernatural. You will never understand how Satan is using modern technology to circumvent the creation of man in the image of God. You will never understand why once you have joined with the seed of the Serpent, you become doomed.

 

I know you may be tired of hearing a message like this one, and you would rather get a donut from Titus or hear a message on how great we are doing. The problem is time is about up, and the fullness of the Gentiles is about to come to an end.

 

Romans 11:25, KJV: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."

 

What is this fullness of the Gentiles? When the last Gentile is saved. If you are not ready to face the coming battles, you have not put on the whole armor of God; then you need to find a place of prayer and ask God to give you a new heart.  Time for salvation now, Today is the day.

 

I know some of you think I have gone off the deep end. I have watched too much sci-fi. The supernatural has been removed from what the Scripture teaches. We have allowed the secular world to sanitize the scriptures and take away the supernatural—spiritual rulers in high places. Evil forces controlling areas of the world are stuff for movies, not the church. 

 

Have you forgotten Daniel and the 21-day prayer? Have you forgotten Moses Rod, Parting the Red Sea, water from a rock, mana from heaven, talking donkey, floating ax head, water into wine, raising the dead, healing the blind, lame and diseased, and the greatest of all, the Resurrection of the LORD? These are all supernatural and the foundations of what we believe.  So why would you have problems with the activities of fallen angels?

 

Time is running out. Read the headlines, watch the news. The whole world is in chaos. War has broken out in Israel and Gaza; the US government is pushing war against Russia and China. We have gas shortages, significant droughts all over the west. There will be food shortage soon. There are more earthquakes taking place than at any time in history. Volcanoes are erupting all over the world. There is more violence taking place every day. Our economy is on the edge of total collapse. Jesus said when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption is near.

 

People, it is time to get off your Blessed Assurance and start telling people the LORD is coming soon, and they had better get ready. You had better make sure you have the armor of the LORD, for all hell is about to be unleashed on Christians. The seed of SATAN and the seed of the WOMAN are at war, and the battles are about to become intense. Are you ready?

Today, we are on the threshold of a horrifying time. Now, comes the seed of the Serpent, slithering from his fiery abode in hell to wreak havoc upon humanity. Jesus once declared, "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers. How can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Amazingly, the Synagogue of Satan has proven to be exactly what Jesus prophesied. They are the People of the Serpent, unregenerated hypocrites whose religion is unparalleled in its treachery, its wickedness, and its unbounded filth. 

 

On the surface, the members of the Synagogue of Satan, the seed of the Serpent, appear to be pious, humanitarian, charitable, and good. What is best for humanity. The very picture of saintly human beings, they are said to be exalted and true, God's Chosen ones. But appearances are deceiving. The evil spirits of those who once worshiped Moloch, who fashioned a golden calf in the desert, and who tortured and tormented Jesus Christ are back, and the whole world is in jeopardy. Making its way on stage is the most colossal antichrist religion ever. The People of the Serpent have awakened Abaddon the angel from the abyss and the Beast is rising.  

 

The Serpent along with those who call themselves Jews but are not, are on the move and ready to strike. 

 

 The Lamb opened the fourth seal. Then I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale-colored horse. The rider on the horse was death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth—power to kill people with the sword, by starving, by disease, and with the wild animals of the earth. Think this has not happened already?

The Lamb opened the fifth seal. Then I saw some souls under the altar. They were the souls of those who had been killed because they were faithful to God's message and to the truth they had received. 10 These souls shouted in a loud voice, "Holy and true Lord, how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?" 11 Then each one of them was given a white robe. 

 

More Christians were killed in the 20th Century than any other time in history combined.

 

They were told to wait a short time longer. There were still some of their brothers and sisters in the service of Christ who must be killed as they were. These souls were told to wait until all the killing was finished.

 

I know some of you have heard me say, I am waiting for the big earthquake. 

 

Here is why?

12 Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth.[b] The full moon became red like blood. 13 The stars in the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping its figs when the wind blows. 14 The sky was split in the middle and both sides rolled up like a scroll. And every mountain and island was moved from its place.

 

We have been given loud warnings by God. In the past six months in Central United States which includes Indiana there have been over 600 earthquakes. This week over 1000 earthquakes have taken place in California There is major drought taking place in America.  There are more wild-fires burning out of control now than last year, which was a recorder setter.  The volcanos are erupting all over the world.  Alaska just had a major earthquake.  During the past 30 days, there were 1 quake of magnitude 7.4, 10 quakes between 6.0 and 7.0, 176 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0, 1188 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 3758 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 6870 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 13756 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.

 

Thousands of people are dying from plagues.  Are these things getting you attention?  We have been warned and people are still slumbering and sleeping.  Unaware that sudden destruction is upon us. 

 

The seed of the Serpent is here among us and many will be deceived into accepting the message of destruction and lose their souls.

 

God has put you in my life for a reason. It is my intention to make it to heaven.  But I would like for you to be there with me.  You need to wake up and get your soul ready.
