NEWSLETTERS WRITTEN BY:
HOUR OF DARKNESS
Folk’s times are about to get hard for us Christians.
I know we say that we have seen hard times and to us they are, but it is nothing compared to what is about to come upon the Christians.
I cannot explain why I am saying all of this only that you need to be in God's will, draw just as close to Him as you can get and when you see trouble come against the Christian people DO NOT FEAR because God will be there for his children.
If we fear, then we doubt, and if we doubt, then we hinder God.
Put your eyes steadfast on God through everything no matter how bad it may appear, no matter what may be done to us, shout and praise God even more in that hour of darkness.
Mt 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in
the kingdom of heaven.
We must be humble before the Lord, as we know with a little child they see no evil, all they see is a pure, trusting, obedient love towards Jesus Christ.
When they think of Jesus they see him as a protector, someone that loves them without any conditions.
We must come to this humbleness or we will not enter heaven.
De 4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if
thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
De 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Times were hard then and will be in the latter days but God did not forsake them then, nor will he forsake us in the latter day, in our days of tribulation.
So if we keep our mind, and eyes on God and things of his world, he will be there for us.
If we are in fear we do not have our eyes on God.
2 Samuel 3:25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
When these things come to pass in the near future it will be as the above verse says, they will know our coming in and our going out and all that we do, in other words we will not be able to do anything without them knowing it, folks it's just about that way now.
They will know that we are serving God and we will be sought out to be destroyed because of it, so we best make certain that we are prepared for this day coming.
Prepared to stand steadfast for God.
Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
Do not join Satan’s side by deceiving and lying about others.
Keep your heart, mind and soul pure, ready to go to battle for God.
Isaiah 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Now I know that there will be fear arise at the sign of great trouble but the verse above tells us clearly that God will take care of us in those days so we have no need to fear.
The only thing that we are to fear is God's wrath upon us if we are not right with him.
Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 29:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
In the coming days there will be those that will show you great and wondrous things saying that they are of God.
They will try to get you to believe in them and they will be very convincing but do not be deceived,
Question what is being done whether it brings glory to man or to God, ASK God to show you the way to the truth.
Satan will give them the power to do many things but that does not make them of God because of what they do.
Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Many are already trying to deceive others by telling them things that they want to hear.
For example: Some Baptist Churches believe that you have eternal salvation when you get saved; based upon John 3:16 by inputting shall instead of should and some of the Pentecostal believe that if you do not speak in tongues that you are not saved.
Both are these are deceptions.
Mark 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
They will come out and say that they ARE Christ in order to deceive you, to make many believe in them and lose their way.
They will show you miracles but let me assure you these are miracles for and of Satan and not of God.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
If we have put the word of God into our hearts as we are supposed to do and walk in the light and instruction of God, then we are grown in the Lord and therefore no more are we children tossed to and fro.
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Many will say God showed me that if you will come into this ministry you will have the power to heal many and your income will increase 100 fold so that you can help others.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
If I go about doing righteous things then I am righteous; but a deceiver will do righteous things too in an attempt to draw you away from God, so while they are not around you they are anything but righteous.
For example: some people will be just as holy as they can be in front of you but when they are out of sight they curse up one side and down the other now the question is how will you know the truth?
Simple you will know them by their fruits, have they led people to God or away from God?
I can do righteous acts too such as giving to the poor, helping the church with their programs, helping the elderly etc. but have I led anyone to Jesus Christ during this time?
Have I witnessed to anyone through these acts?
Have I spoke of how good and loving God is during these acts of righteous.
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea
