" What's going on.?
We can see what is happening, But what is going on.?
2-Timothy 3:1 declares, " This know also, that in the Last Days perilous times shall come."
The Apostle Paul, By the Insperation of the Holy Spirit, Gave warning to Timothy, And thus, to the Church, That the " Last Days " would be accompanied by " Perilous Times ".
Matthew Henery says, the Last Days will bring about Perilous times because of " Persecition without, And more still, because of Corruption within."
The World more and more rejects the Christian message of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.
More and more the World is turning to Persecution of Christians because of their " Narrow view " of those who do not accept the Bible as the Word of God.
More and more, The world is leaning toward a Global view of Citizenship, Meaning a One world Government.
Then there is the " Corruption within ".
More and more the Church is being drawn into a World view, Or a Global view of the people.
In other words, the Church is being deceived into thinking along the same vein as the world.
Many within the Church no longer beleive that Jesus is the " only way " in which one can be saved.
Many within the Church are following the world view of " A woman's right " to Kill her Baby through Abortion.
Many now beleive that other religions can lead one to Salvation, Even if they do not accept Christ as Savour.
We see what is happening, But what is going on.?
These are the Last Days, The Holy Spirit said there would be Perilous Times.
There is Persecution outside throught the World, Christians are becoming more and more hated by a world that rejects Christ.
There is Corruption within the Church, Many Christians are being drwan away from the Truth of the Bible as it relates to Christ and the Cross as the only way in which one can be saved.
The Apostle Paul warned timothy that the Church would fall into Apostasy, He said in 2-Timothy 3:2, " for men shall be lovers of their own selves, Proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, and the list goes on.
Where is the outcry of the Preacher.? Where is the demand to Repent.?
God give us another Jeremiah, Give us another Ezekiel.
May God give the Church another John the Baptist, Who went about crying, " Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. "
I am calling on all Christians who read this Article to examing themselves to see if they are in the Faith, Are you living as you know you ought.?
I am calling on all Christians who have left their First Love to repent, and turn back to Jesus.
If you have fallen away from a zeal for the things of God, repent, God will forgive you.
There is a corruption within the Church, Examine yourselves, are you walking by Faith in this wicked world of unbelief.?
Turn to Jesus with all of your heart, he will forgive you your tresspasses.
Look up, For your redemption draweth nigh.
See what is happening, And know what is going on.
Jesus is coming soon, Are you ready.?
I Pray so, In Jesus Name.

What's Going on.? Part One
Job, Chapter One, Beginning at verse 13, says,
" And there was a day when His sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house. "
From here on things went down hill for Job. The Bible account of Job's experience goes on to tell us that, " The seabeans came and took away his oxen, and his asses, And killed his servants.
At the same time, A messenger told him that " Fire of God has fallen from Heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them."
And while he was yet speaking, There came another messenger and said, " The Chaldeans have come and stolen your Camels, and they have slain the servants."
And yet another came and said, " your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, and ,behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead."
Other that Christ Himself, No man ever suffered as Job suffered.
I want to say, That with all of this suffering, and this will be the subject of this message.
" Job knew what was happening, But he didn't know what was going on."
This is so Important that I need to say it again, " Job knew what was happening, He was able to see all the hardship, and all of the trouble, He felt the pain and heartache,
His property was stolen, his servants were killed, and His children died, " He knew what was happening, But he did not know what was going on."
This reminds me of the World, and most of the Church today.
We see what is happening, We see the slaughter of four thousand Unborn Babies everyday in America, through Abortion.
Fifty Million Babies in all so far, And more on the way, We see what is happening.
We see the homosexual movment in America growing by leaps and bounds. We see the Politions as they sell out to the gay agenda for their vote.
We see the Socialistic agenda of a new President that will make Government the Master of the people.
We are told from the Book of Revelation that there will come a time when the people will not be able to " buy nor sell " except they receive a mark, This mark will be distributed by the Government of that day.
We see the Wars taking place around the world, We hear the rumors of war.
There is a bill before our congress and senate that is refered to the " Fairness doctrine."
Without going into great detail, If this bill is passed into law, The fear amongst the Christian community is that it will be used to outlaw the Preaching of the Bible against such sins as, homosexuality,and Abortion.
Already in Canada, two Ministers have been sentenced to prison for speaking out against homosexuality.
Yes, we see what is happening.
In the Church world, A survey by a christian group called Barna, reported that, Many Christians beleive that Jesus sinned while on Earth.
Others beleive that there are other ways for one to get to Heaven other, than by Faith In Jesus Christ and what he did on the Cross.
The survey goes on to report that many Christians beleive that other faith's, like Islam, can lead one to salvation. Even though John 14: 6 says, Concerning Jesus Christ, " I am the way, The truth, and the life, No man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
To reject that truth is to reject Salvation.
Yes, we see what is happening, But many in the World and within the Church do not know," What is going On."
This is the first part of a two part series I am bringing to you, Join me in a day or two for the second part of this message. " What's going on " ?

A New World
Praise the Lord Everybody.
These are Exciting times for Americans, and People Around the World. We have a New President Today, President Barack Obama.
Many have said that this means a New America, A Different America. Many Herald the Fact that America is headed for Change.
But one must ask, What Kind of Change.? Will it be Change for the Good, or for Bad.?
Where does the Church fit into this Change.? The Church has certanly experienced Change, And in many cases, It is change that is not good.
By the grace of God, I want to share with you from the Word of God concerning the times in which we live.
What Role does the Church play in this time of Great Change.?
What are Christians to do in the midst of this Change. ?
Biblical Prophecy is coming to pass so fast, that it is hard to keep up with it.
On the right and on the left, to the North, South, East and West, God's Word is being Fulfilled, But something is Wrong, Or should I say, Something is right, Maybe I should say, Something is right on time.
I want to share the Word of God with you concerning the " Signs of the times."
In just a few days, I will deliver a message on this site from the Word of God, I hope you will read it, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart.
Until then, God Bless in Jesus Name.
Pastor, Mann.

If you don't quit
I sat if front of my computer this morning as I usaally do, Searching the web sites for Christian news and events.
It has been a rather trying week. Nothing earth moving, Just the little annoyances that plague the Child of God almost on a daily basis.
you know, Those little spiritual jabs you can feel in your spirit, and just that uneasy feeling that lingers about.
Every Christian experiences those types of challenges to our Faith. Even Preachers, Most won't admitt it but they do.
1-Peter 4:12 says, " Beloved, Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you."
I like what Brother Swaggart says in his commentary on this verse, he said, " Trials do not merely happen, they are designed by wisdom, and opperated by love."
Every trial that comes our way is allowed and designed by God, For the benifit of the Believer.
Our trials are " Hand made " By God for a specific purpose.
God uses these trials to draw us closer to Him. He uses these trials so that the dross of the flesh might be removed from our lives.
These trials are designed by God to deal with some kind of short coming within our lives, Or maybe to help us overcome some type of sin.
But they are always for our good. The Bible says that, " The devil means it for bad, but God means it for good."
Meaning that the devil will take these trials that are meant for your good and try to cause bad to come out of it.
The devil will take these trials that are designed by God just for you, to bring about some Spiritual good in and through your life, And he will at the sametime attempt to cause you to falter in your Faith.
Many times the devil will say to you, If you were really saved this wouldn't be happening to you.
Or, he will say, why does this only happen to you,? Others Christians don't go through the things you do.
Peter said, " Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that is to try you."
" Think it not strange."
This means, Do not think it uncommon for a Christian to goes through these things.
Don't think that these types of trials do not happen to Christians.
Some so called Faith teachers will say, " If you had enough Faith you would not experience these trials, troubles or afliction.
That is contrary to what the Bible says. The Bible doesn't teach that at all.
Peter said, Think it not strange.
I Remember so tome ago,( actually years ago ), God said to me, " If you don't quit, You can't lose."
I can remember the sense of Joy and Courage that came over me.
I felt God was saying, " If you don't quit, If you don't give up or surrender, I will give you the victory.
I felt as if God was saying, I will cause you to overcome all things that come into your life, If you just don't quit.
Over the years I have thought on what God said to me that day, And I have been encouraged time after time to just keep on keeping on.
And I know God is saying the same thing to you right now. No matter what you are going through, Or facing right now, God is saying to you, " If you don't quit, You can't lose."
To God be the Glory. Amen.

Robbing God of His Glory
Sometime ago, God spoke to me and said, " My Ministers take that which belongs to me, they take my Glory."
Since that time, I have searched for what it means to " Rob God of His Glory."
I e-Mailed a well known Ministry and asked them what it means to Rob God of His Glory, They responded by saying, " One robs God of His Glory when they take credit for what God has done.
That no doubt is part of robbing God of His Glory, But I believe it goes further than that.
This is what I believe God has spoken to my heart on the subject of robbing God of His Glory.
" One robs God of His Glory when you make Him less than He actually is."
You rob God of His Glory when you make Him less than the Scriptures declare Him to be.
When Joyce Meyers said, " Jesus died spiritually, And took on a demonic nature on the Cross, " She robbed God of His Glory."
When Benny Hinn tellls the people, " You are everything Christ is, or ever was, Or ever shall be, " He is robbing God of His Glory."
When Ken Copland says that, " The Blood of Jesus does not atone for sin, And that Any born again man could have done what Jesus did on the Cross, " He is robbing God of His Glory."
" When we " Use the Name of Jesus in a light manner, When we turn His name into a curse word, When we, treat Christ in a manner that is not in union with the Holy Scriptures, We too, Rob God of His Glory.
A portion of Exodus 9:14, Speaking of God, declares, " That thou mayest know that there is none like Me in all the Earth."
Who is like unto God.? Who, or what can be compared to Him.?
How can any man, Even a Born Again man, Claim to be even a " little god." ?
A portion of Isaiah 6:1 it reads, " I saw also the Lord sitting on a throne, High and lifted up, And His train filled the temple."
Here is Jehovah, Jesus the Saviour. Isaiah saw him in the midst of guilty and lost men.
He is in the midst of them, even as he was in the midst of the two thieves as He was being Crucified on the Cross.
Thank God He is here for you and me today. Thank God he is here for the sinner of every nation, kindred and tounge, If they will only believe on Him.
I can olny say, " TO GOD BE THE GLORY."
P.S.

The Church In Crises
I have preached a number of messages on the subject of the " Church In Crises."
The word " Crises " refers to a situation that has reached boiling point, And if something is not done to change that situation, There will be a catastrophe.
The modern Church of today finds itself in a crisis situation. One problem here though is most Christians don't see the problem.
Most Christians don't realize that there is a problem, Or a Crisis situation.
Revelation 3:17 Declares, " Because you say, I am rich , and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."
This last days Church, Which is the time we are living in right now, Did not realize, Or recognize their true spiritual state.
Like many Christians today who believe that wealth, or material gain is evidence that God is blessing, Or that these things in themselves is a sign of Godliness. They are not.
The Laodicean Church was rich and increased in material gain, Yet they were away from God.
In Lake Land Florida is a man by the name of Todd Bentley, Who says that there is a great move of God taking place there.
Mr Bentley kicks women in the face and says God told him to do it. He kicked a man in the stomach who had colon cancer and told the man he must be obedient to God.
That is not of God. Where in the Bible did Jesus or the Disciples kick people to heal them.?
That brings me to another Important point, " If it is not in the Bible, we don't accept it."
Joyce Meyers teaches that Jesus died spiritually, And that he took on a demonic nature, Actually the very nature of satan, Then said, " You won't find this in the Bible, It comes from a revelation of the Spirit."
If what you are teaching cannot be found in the Bible, Then what you are teaching is a lie.
The Church is indeed in a crisis situation.
There is a move taking place today within the Body of Christ that is intended to draw Christians away from the Bible. They want Christians to get away from the Word of God as found in the Bible.
Amos 8:11 declares, " Behold, The days come, Saith the Lord God, That I will send a famine in the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the Words of the Lord."
Without going into great detail, this prophecy refers to a scarcity of the Word of God.
This famine is far worse than a famine of bread or of a thirst for water.
Israel at that time knew nothing of the Word of God and they were taken captive.
Thus in America today and many other places around the World, There is a famine of the Word.
In many Churches today, Christians know very little or nothing at all about the word of God.
To them the Bible is relegated to the coffee table and little read if read at all.
For many Christians the only time the Bible is even handled is on sunday morning for Church, then it goes back on the table untill next sunday.
Because of a lack of knowing the Bible, Most Christians fall for anything that comes from so called christian t.v..
They believe anything that comes from their favorite t.v. preacher as the Gospel, and many times it is not Gospel at all.
There is such a lack of knowledge of the Word of God that even when something is preached that they question, they are afraid to say anything about it, All they know is God said, do not judge.
For many Christians today, Things do not have to measure up to the Word of God, The message preached is not measured up against the Bible.
Statements made by t.v. preachers are not held up against the Bible to see if they are in line with the Word of God.
If it feels good, sounds good, or looks good, Or if there is a big crowd, or if it looks prosperous it must be of God. Many times it is not.
Yes the Church is indeed in a Crisis situation.
Jude verse 3 declares, " Beloved, When I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the Faith, which was once delivered unto the saints."
Jude was moved upon by the Holy Spirit to exhart the end time Church, To earnestly contend for the Faith. That Faith speaks of the great doctrines of Christanity that was delivered unto the saints, once and for all time.
Jimmy Swaggart says " The saints must defend the Doctrines of Christanity with intense effort."
There are those within the Church that are attempting to move Christians away from the true Word of God, The Bible."
Stand your ground in Jesus Name.
Measue everyone and everything with the Word of God, The Bible.
Measue every teaching and every preached with the Word of God, The Bible.
There is an old song that says, " The B-i-b-l-e-, yes thats the Book for me, I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e-.. Amen.

Jude verse 3 declares, " Beloved, When I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the Faith, which was once delivered unto the saints."
Jude was moved upon by the Holy Spirit to exhart the end time Church, To earnestly contend for the Faith. That Faith speaks of the great doctrines of Christanity that was delivered unto the saints, once and for all time.
Jimmy Swaggart says " The saints must defend the Doctrines of Christanity with intense effort."
There are those within the Church that are attempting to move Christians away from the true Word of God, The Bible."
Stand your ground in Jesus Name.
Measue everyone and everything with the Word of God, The Bible.
Measue every teaching and every preached with the Word of God, The Bible.
There is an old song that says, " The B-i-b-l-e-, yes thats the Book for me, I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e-.. Amen.
