Faith involves our broadening the vistas and boundaries of our imagination, and our being able to see things there that are not yet visible to our natural eye!

For truly, as we look at the definition of FAITH and we learn it is the substance of things hoped for; and the evidence of things not yet visible or felt in the natural; how else can we get there and see those things that are not as though they are except by way of a sanctified imagination?

As Jesus said:

“All things are possible if ONLY you can believe!”

Below is a devotional message on IMAGINATION, which I think you will like.

As we study the account given in Romans 4, where we are told of the encounter where Abraham, the father of FAITH, was informed by God that he and his descendants were to be given the entire earth as an inheritance; it is obvious that surely such a vision required Abraham to use his imagination to see it… especially since his wife, Sarah at age 90, was well beyond the age of child bearing.

Also we know from Scripture that most certainly this awesome gift was not being given to Abraham based on his obedience or his ability to keep the law; but rather the Bible says that it was based on Abraham having a right relationship with God, a relationship that can ONLY come by faith.

In James 2:23 we are told that, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and that Abraham was called a friend of God!”

Man, how cool is that, to be called a “Friend” of God? And yet does not Jesus say of us, in John 15:15, “I no longer call you servants, … instead, I have called you My friends!”

So the Bible tells us that this promise was received by faith; and that it was a free gift. And we are also informed that we may also receive this blessing, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses too, if we also have faith like Abraham had!

For Abraham as the Bible says, became the father of all who believe; and this is truly what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”

The reason why this happened was because Abraham, again as we learn from Scripture, he believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing!

Do you not see that? Again… how does a person do this without a sanctified imagination?

But the Bible doesn’t stop there, because it goes on to say of father Abraham that even though there was no reason for his hope (in the natural), Abraham nevertheless kept on hoping — and believing that he would truly become the father of many nations.

For God had already told him to look at the stars in heaven, because: “That’s how many descendants you will have!”

The Bible goes on to tell us that Abraham not being weak in faith; that he did not consider his own body, though in a sense it was already dead (since he was about a hundred years old); nor did he consider the deadness of Sarah’s womb (with her being 90 years old).

Instead we are told that in spite of all these things that Abraham did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief; but that he was strengthened in faith, and in so doing he was giving glory to God.

We are told that he (Abraham) was fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was also able to perform… and therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Likewise, if we can lay hold of God’s promises in that same way, by FAITH, then we too can experience the impossible; but this will require our doing exactly as Jesus said, when he told His disciples that unless they became as children, they could not experience the Kingdom of Heaven.

Children can do this quite naturally, and they have no problem whatsoever seeing things that are not… and so did each of us once upon a time!

Folks if we are to navigate through this life successfully, and if we are to experience all that God has intended for us, and also be empowered to fight the battles and appropriate our inheritance, it will necessitate our using our sanctified imagination, and our hanging the total of our life, and our circumstances on the promises of God’s Word.

Therein concludes today’s lesson… so live long and prosper, and go forth and do likewise! 🙂

Have a blessed day!

Shalom,

Keeping our eye on the ball, and remaining focused on the what is the true meaning of Life…

His name is Jesus Christ!!!

Only He can make something beautiful out of our life!

I haven’t heard this song in a long time; and reading an old book today, I ran across the CD stuck in between the pages.

As it happens, I really like both the message and the song; and so I thought to share it with you.

I hope you like it too, and that it blesses your day!

Man has the tendency to forget that the Lord God is God in heaven, it is He who has created us… not the other way around, we did not create ourselves!

If there is any one problem that we in the U.S. can attribute our current woes and calamities to, it is this one fact, that we as a nation have lost our way, and we have forgotten the Lord our God!!!

I’ve included a very good devotional message (see below) from My Daily Bread, about “Toxic Living.” Be sure to read it, as I think it is very relevant to where we are today as a nation, and how we got here.

There are several important points that we can glean from this particular scripture in Deuteronomy 8:

• “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe…”
  

  To the extent we as a nation have taken God out of our schools, the enemy (the Devil) wasted no time and came into fill that void, back in 1963. And by the way, this decision to take God out of our schools was brought about as the result of one woman’s lawsuit in 1963, for which the church remained virtually silent and accepted that decision; and our society has gone downhill ever since!
  

  In an interview on September 13^th in 2001, right after 9/11 occurred, Anne Graham-Lotz (Billy Graham’s daughter) was asked the following question by Jane Clayson, on the CBS Early Show: “If God is good, how could He allow this to happen?”

  To which Anne Grahm-Lotz responded: “I say God is also angry when he sees something like this.  I would say also for several years now Americans in a sense have shaken their fist at God , and have said we want you out of our schools, out of our government, out of our business, and we want you out of our marketplace.
  

  And so God, who is a gentleman (in response to this), has just quietly backed out of our national and political life, our public life; and He has removed His hand of blessing and protection.
  

• If it is raining and you leave home without your umbrella… whose fault is that?
  

  We need to turn to God first of all and say, God, we’re sorry we have treated you this way and we invite you now to come into our national life. We put our trust in you.

• We have “In God we Trust” on our coins, and we need to practice it.”
  

• “And you shall remember that the LORD your God…”
  

  Have you ever wondered why God picked Abraham to be the Father of His chosen people “Israel,” and also the Father of faith?
  

  To find the answer to that question we have to look to Genesis 18, verses 16-19; where we are given the following account:
  

  “¹⁶Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way.
  

  ¹⁷ And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, ¹⁸ since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
  

  ¹⁹For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
  

  It is most apparent to me that our one failure in the church is that we have failed to pass the baton of our faith on to the next generation; and that mistake, at least here in the United States was compounded on that infamous day back in 1963 when our courts decided for the American people that belief in God and our teaching about God to our children, was of no importance and was irrelevant to their lives… and what you see today among out politicians and educators is the result.
  

• In the next part of verse 2, we are told the reason why God at times will allow us to suffer lack: “God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.”
  

  Often the question will arise in our lives, when we are beset with difficulties, tragedy, pain and/or suffering, as to why is my life so hard; does God not see what is happening to me… and does He not care?
  

  Well the answer to that question is yes, of course He sees and of course He cares; but God’s priorities are very different from ours.
  

  God is not so much interested in our being happy and comfortable in this life, as He is about our being trained and taught in the ways of faith, that we may be fit for His service; that we may learn to wage war against the enemy of our soul (Satan); that we may charge the enemy’s gates, and be about our Father’s business, which is to reach this world for Christ; and also that we may learn to put on the mind of Christ, and be molded into His image… as Jesus Christ is our model and our example in all things pertaining to this life! And it is also in Jesus, who is called “The Last Adam,” that we may learn our purpose and the reason for our existence… and that is that we may do the Will of the Father in earth, as it is in Heaven!
  

The overwhelming and all important message however, of Deuteronomy 8, and also God’s warning I might add, is that we NOT forget the Lord our God, and that we not begin to take credit ourselves for His many blessings, that He has given to us!

The sin of ingratitude is a very egregious sin, in God’s eyes; and add to it the sin and also the insult to God of our taking credit ourselves for all of His blessings, as though we could have done it without Him.

This is a direct offense to God, in that not only are we not honoring Him as God and are not thankful to Him; but to add insult to injury, we also begin to think of ourselves as gods, and we ignore the one true God!

I can only hope and pray that what God said in Romans does not happen to us here in America, where God grew so weary of the hardness of their hearts, that the scripture says “He gave them over to believe a lie!”

That certainly does seem to be the direction that our nation is headed; and that is why it is so critically important that we pray and intercede for our nation, for God’s grace and mercy… that He forgive us of our sin, as a nation, for having removed the land marks of his laws from our society and culture, and for having forsaken His ways… to follow our own!

Let us continue to pray for America that we find our way back home, as a nation; and that we humbles ourselves and repent; that we restore our Constitutional Republic; and that we clean house and remove those people from public office, who have secret agendas, who lie to us and are taking our nation further away from God!

Let us pray for the right kind of “Change,” that brings our nation back to God! Selah

Shalom,

Prophecy is God’s News before it happens…

Listen to God’s heads up message and warning regarding events that are about to befall the earth!

But thus saith the Lord:

“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing,
Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

Amos 3:7

Below I have listed a Prophetic Warning that was given back in March of 2009, by David Wilkerson, that I think you will find interesting; especially in light of the Prophecy you have just seen in the above video.

With that said, there are many voices that are out in the world today who are predicting the future; some of whom I believe are today’s modern version of what we would call false prophets, who are just as the false prophets were that we read about in the Bible.

The way we can recognize these false prophets is they are always telling the people what they want to hear, without any concern whatsoever, and with no respect or regard to what God has already spoken and revealed in His Word, the Bible.

The most noticeable of today’s modern day false prophets I believe can be found among today’s talking heads in the News Media; and I believe also that same lying spirit can also be seen and heard among many of today’s political leaders; many of whom have made their entire careers out of telling people just what they want to hear… again with no respect nor regard for what God has already spoken in His Word.

Last but not least there are also many voices that can be heard today, coming from God’s New Covenant people, who are described in the Bible as being neither Jew nor Gentile, but are of those who are, what the Bible calls, a New Creation in Christ.

Now I consider myself to be a part of that group; and even here it has been my observation that also in this group there are often conflicting voices and opinions, regarding last days events, and what is about to happen in the world.

So the obvious question is, how can we discern which voices are true and are from God; and which are false?

For me, I can only turn to the Bible to gain an answer to that question; because the Bible is the only accurate source we have, where we are able to discern and learn of pre-established patterns which God has already set forth, and has used in the past.

It is also only in the Bible that we find how God has interceded and intervened in the lives of His estranged children, who are among the sons and daughters of Adam, in order to bring correction.

The Bible tells us that there are basically four groups or categories, of people that are in the world today, as relates to covenant relationship with God.

• The first are found among God’s Covenant people, who are His chosen people, who are of the “House of Judah,” and are called… the Jews;
  
• The second are among what the Bible calls “House of Israel,” who are also known today as the “Lost Tribes of Israel;”
  
• The third are among what the Bible calls “Neither Jew nor Gentile” and these are members of God’s new creation, called the Church;
  
• And fourth we have those who are not a part of any covenant relationship with God at all, and are lost!
  

By the way, on the subject of “Saved” and “Lost,” this leads me to another important point, because there are many who are in the world today, who often hear this terminology being bantered about by Christians about the “Saved” and the “Unsaved” (or Lost), and they have no idea what those two terms mean… and often the question is posed by them: “What do I have to be saved from?”

Well, in a nutshell to be “Unsaved,” or lost, is a term that is used to describe people who pass from this life into eternity without the benefit of having a Covenant relationship with their Creator, as He has set forth in the Bible.

And also, on the subject of these two groups of which the Bible calls “House of Israel,” and “House of Judah,” for those of you who are unfamiliar with these two groups, listen here to what God has to say through the Prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 3:8-18 (New King James Version)

⁸ Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. ⁹ So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees. ¹⁰ And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense,” says the LORD.
¹¹ Then the LORD said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah. ¹² Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say:

‘ Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the LORD;
‘ I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am merciful,’ says the LORD;
‘ I will not remain angry forever.
¹³ Only acknowledge your iniquity,
That you have transgressed against the LORD your God,
And have scattered your charms
To alien deities under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the LORD.

¹⁴ “Return, O backsliding children,” says the LORD; “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. ¹⁵ And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

¹⁶“Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the LORD, “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the LORD.’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.

¹⁷ “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts.
¹⁸ “In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.

Now mind you, even though these events of which we read here in Jeremiah, about the reuniting of “House of Israel,” and “House of Judah,” are viewed by many in the church as having already occurred, they have not; and are yet to happen. This is in fact a prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled; but that I believe will be fulfilled very shortly… I believe after the church has been taken out of the picture and has been ruptured (or translated in the twinkling of the eye, to quote the Bible) to be with Christ.

So again I repeat the only accurate and reliable way for us to correctly discern and judge prophecy, as it relates to current events that are happening today, and are about to happen, is for us to look to the Holy Writ of Scriptures (in the Bible); and there to find the patterns that God has set forth through recorded biblical history of past events; and how God has in the past intervened in the affairs of man, in order to bring correction and repentance.

You see, just as the Bible says… “God changes not, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!“

Listen as Rolland Baker shares his testimony about how he was healed!

The Dark Night of the Soul…

a common place for all Christians in these days!

Below is something I think will bless you…

This is the history behind the Devotional Classic,

Two Listeners:

This story of how the Two Listeners devotional classic was written I think is important because that same God in equally available to speak to each of us in our problems too, that is if we know how to listen.

Today’s message (below) I think certainly goes along with the times in which we are living in today!

I think for a lot of people today, they do feel as though they have been through a fiery furnace, and are being tested… and folks, from what the Bible says is going to happen in the last day, we can expect that things will get a lot worse!

Jesus called these times that we are in “The Time of Sorrows,” and that is exactly as it is; but from God’s perspective this is not at all about defeat and depression, rather this is a time which God has intended for the church to experience its greatest hour.

These trials and tribulation which are common to all mankind are allowed by God to train and to prepare His Children to fight spiritual battles; to teach us to live by faith in God’s Word; and to acquaint us with the strategies and battle plans of our enemy, who is the Devil.

And as I read the end of the Book… we win! Selah

Satan is banished from Heaven!

Aren’t these truly interesting times to be living in? Challenging as they are… they are still nevertheless very interesting!

I dare say that the Old Testament Saints would have given anything to be where we are today, to be living in these times that will see our Lord return to earth!

I want to thank Laurel for passing this video on to me. I’ve used it before, but I think it is well worth our viewing it again.

The Bible truly is an amazing book; as there are many secrets which God has hidden within its pages… for us to find.

Question: Could this be one of those secrets… and did Jesus truly revealing to us in Luke 10:18, as the above video would suggest, just who the Antichrist is, and what his name is?

I have often said that if Obama were not the Antichrist, then certainly as I understand how the Scriptures speak of him and describes him as a very charismatic and popular figure, who would woo many over by his personality and popularity alone, and then later by signs and wonders in the supernatural, that he is able to perform. Certainly based on the first description alone, this man Barack Hussein Obama qualifies.

Though he speaks of himself as being a Christian, his actions and words show us differently.

Case in point, as any Sunday school student knows, as this is Christianity 101, and known by ALL of us who are born-again Christians… Jesus Christ is the ONLY way and ONLY door into heaven; and yet Barack Obama and also former President George W. Bush are both on record as saying that Jesus is NOT the only way; but that all roads lead to heaven!

Folks that is Pantheism, it is not Christianity!

So I certainly would say that based on the charisma and popularity description alone, Obama already fulfills that part of the description; and as such at the very least, as I have said before, if he is not the Antichrist, then he is most certainly a prelude to him.

Is he really the one… I don’t know! But I certainly have my eye on him; and I think it is not by accident that the above verse of Scripture, as we read what it says in the original tongues, says what it does.

What am I saying?

I’m saying this… be wise as serpents… and don’t be deceived; because as we know from what Jesus has already said, much of the world in the last days will be deceived; and even Christians will be fooled, when the Antichrist appears.

Regardless let us remember whether this is true or not, regarding Obama, and also with regard to former President Bush… they are both only men; and as such, they are not our enemy.

We also need to remember this, that except for the grace of God, and the influence of the Bible in our own lives, we would be just as wrong and just as decieved… and also just as lost!

As for what we should be doing for both Obama and also former President Bush… just pray for them!

Pray for God’s mercy and grace to be upon our entire country, and on us all.

Pray that we as a nation would humble ourselves and repent; and that Christians would fall to their knees all across our land, and that we would turn from our wicked ways, and that we would seek after God’s face, and pray for God to heal our land and put our country back on the right path! Selah

Life comes from only one source,

the Creator, Jesus Christ, who said…

“I am come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly!“

What provides the fuel that feeds your life?

Jesus said we cannot serve two masters, both God and Mammon (mammon is this world system, but it also is the name of a demon god)… for Jesus said, “We will cling to the one and hate the other.”

Jesus said that He is the life; that He came that you could experience life more abundantly!

Jesus also said that man does not live by just bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!

So I ask you again, what is the source and fuel that runs your life?

To answer that question, just ask yourself what do you live for?

We each have been given a free will, but the choices that we make with that free will have eternal consequences!

In the end we ALL are accountable and we all will one day have to give account to God for how we lived our life.

So yes we all have been given a free will, but that only means that we are free to choose who or what we will serve.

Let us remember the first and second commandments:

• I am the Lord your God… and you shall have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:1-3)
  

• You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, in order that you should bow down to them and worship and serve them; for thus says the Lord your God:
  

  “I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; but showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:4-6)
  

Now I ask again, what is the source that you derive fuel for your life?

You may say, “Well, I’m not religious; and I don’t go to church very often (if ever); but certainly I’m no better or worse than anyone else… and certainly I don’t hate God.”

Remember how Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and Mammon, for you will cling to one and hate the other!”

Well that means exactly what it says… and if you would like to hear it another way, God is saying that either you are in God’s camp by choice, as an act of your free will and volition, to serve Him; or you are in the camp of Mammon (the world and its system) by default… and you are serving him. But you cannot have it both ways!

Let me put it another way, or rather let me tell you what Jesus had to say:

Luke 9:23-26

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

²³ Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,^[a] and follow Me. ²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

²⁵ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?

²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

Are you starting to get the picture? I’m not sure how much plainer it can be… and these are the words of Jesus himself!

Let me just say this, Jesus did not come to earth, and die a cruel death on the cross, just so that we could live as we choose, and attend church maybe sometimes, but nevertheless live our lives as we choose, in order to please ourselves!

As it says in Isaiah 53: “All we like dumb sheep have gone astray, each choosing his or her own way, and the Lord laid on Him (Christ Jesus our Lord) the inequity of us all!”

Folks I don’t know how it could be made any clearer, but this going your own way, and doing your own thing, as most of the world is doing… and in your doing what seems right in your own mind, but doesn’t match up with what God has written in His word… is taking you to straight to hell!

So that being said, if you would like to change the direction of your life, and plug into the true Source of Life… who is the one who created you and gave you your life to begin with… then just follow this road map: http://needhim.org/.

His name is Jesus Christ… and don’t you dare leave home without Him!

Jesus Loves Japan!!!

Pray for revival and for a mighty move of the Holy Spirit, in all signs and wonders, to ignite and bring to fruition all the many seeds that have been planted there for a great many years!

May the Son of righteousness rise over the land of the rising sun; and may the Japanese people receive healing from His wings…

I would like to introduce you to, and ask you to pray for a young couple I just met; their names are David and Tomo Robison.

They are in the process of making plans to be missionaries in Japan (which is Tomo’s home country), and the plan to move there next summer, in 2011.

I have another friend I would also like you to meet as well, and his name is Yoshiki Okano, who is right now completing his education here in the states, having just graduated from Cal State Fullerton, and is now attending graduate school at Kings College.

Yoshiki will also be returning to Japan in a year or so; where both his parents and his grandparents have churches there; and his grandfather even has a seminary,

I’d like to tell you a little story about Yoshiki. When we first met I told him of a story I heard once at a Promise Keepers convention a few years ago, that was given by a Pastor Kim, who is a Korean pastor.

He told of how during World War II, Japanese soldiers had burned down an entire church with the entire congregation locked inside; and how a Japanese pastor later came with his entire congregation to Korea, from Japan, to make restitution and to apologize for that atrocity.

He went on to say how this Japanese church, with their own funds rebuilt this burned down church, and how a major healing took place as a result.

When I told this story to my friend Yoshiki, he informed me that that was his grandfather who did that; and that he also did the same thing in the Philippians.

Man, what an awesome heritage and anointing that is on this young man, and I would also ask for your prayers for him as well, as he will be returning to Japan as well in a year or so, after he completes his education and training.

I might add that Yoshiki attends a church in San Juan Capistrano, called El Saddai, where I also attend on Saturday evenings.

Japan is in desperate need of revival, with currently less than .02% of their populations being Christian.

Remember these names and keep them on your prayer list, won’t you? Thank you.

Shalom,

If your life matches the depiction of this picture,

then I think you will relate to this message!

In the devotion below, David Wilkerson is once again making an excellent point that hits us ALL right between the eyes, right where we live!

I know I certainly can relate to the journey, this Christian Pilgrimage as it were, that he is making reference to; and I wager you can too!

Certainly in the course of our lives, with our many trials and challenges, I’m sure many can relate to finding yourself in places where you’re feeling so insecure, as though on slippery slopes; fraught with moments of panic, with feelings of aloneness and insecurity; where every moment you have to remain focused and on your toes; where one misstep can be so costly; always on your guard against falling into the abyss.

Now I know this may sound like a slight exaggeration to some; but for most of us, I think it hits pretty close to home… and I know it certainly did for even the Apostle Paul!

Our gaining God’s leverage in our struggles and battles is certainly an advantage; but there is a cost!

The point is, certainly Paul’s life and ministry doesn’t sound like a party to me; but I think the real message is that we are not intended to make this journey alone; and any attempt to do so is very foolish indeed, especially when you consider what Jesus offers us as an alternative, if we willingly submit and relinquish control of our lives over to Him.

This is a decision however, that is ours to make; and He will never force it upon us.

And once again let me remind you that the Bible even says of Jesus (in Heb 5:8) that He learned obedience through the things He suffered; and the long and short of the lesson, as I see it, is that for us to successfully navigate these waters, and make our way to our destination, which is for us to be molded and shaped in the image of Christ, we have to be totally reliant and dependent upon the ministry of the Holy Spirit, in each one of our lives!

Just as Jesus and all the Apostles, and all the Old Testament Saints had to… and so must we.

Therein concludes today’s lesson.

Go therefore and do likewise… and have a blessed day!

Shalom,

Skip Barland
