Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
As I was preparing breakfast this morning, I prayed.
Just making sure I lived, and worked, by GOD's will always.
So, I asked for EXTRA guidance.
Soon as that prayer was finished, SPIRIT inspired me to write this.
He even imprinted in my mind the EXACT title:
"EXAMINE your FAITH"
I got all excited, knowing there's much to explore here.
SPIRIT knew I was especially deep in research the past week.
I was trying to get a "hold" on "something".
There was so much material, I had to make frequent stops.
Pray, research, study, stop, let it sink in.
That was the process for a week now.
I knew I was on to something important.
As always I put on my Berean cap:
Acts 17:10-11
King James Version
10 And the brethren immediately sent away
Paul and Silas by night unto Berea:
who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily,
whether those things were so.
Yesterday, the "research" was getting cemented.
I prayed, and let SPIRIT guide me.
As it has to be, EVERY step of the way.
I cannot share with you anything half-baked.
JESUS is the BREAD of LIFE.
He alone gives the WORD.
He alone gives nourishment.
He alone gives TRUTH.
He alone has PERFECT timing.
When He says we share it today, we share it.
When He says this is what we share, that's what we share.
When He says rest, we rest.
Though everything's too exciting not to share.
The volume of work we have to do can be overwhelming.
Save for SPIRIT, I'd be lost.
Now, for the meat of the matter.
Why examine your faith?
You've seen how the spirit of the enemy of CHRIST is in the news.
He's caused death, destruction, division, and deception.
Such is his trademark.
He's also used man's addiction to media to propagate his propaganda.
Oh, how he loves we're hooked on our gadgets!
How he's thrilled we obey him blindly, and willfuly!
How he gloats at our desire for power, prestige, and prize!
He's practically in EVERY pie.
His influence is so diabolical, and far-reaching, you'd be aghast once you know.
Let's take the case of the medical profession, for example.
How many doctors care to know who they have professed their allegiance to?
You've heard of the Hippocratic Oath.
Now, let me put on my born again glasses, and tell you more.
The first paragraph from that oath, has already damned a doctor's faith, future, and focus:
"I swear by Apollo Healer,
by Asclepius,
by Hygieia,
by Panacea,
and by all the gods and goddesses,
making them my witnesses,
that I will carry out,
according to my ability and judgment,
this oath and this indenture."
-- Wikipedia
That's enough to cause GOD's WRATH upon us.
How He hates idolatry.
Remember GOD's commandments that we HONOR Him alone?
Exodus 20:1-7
King James Version
20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy 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;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them
that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain;
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain.
To add insult, to injury, man has bought into the world's ways.
Both doctors, patients, and health care organizations alike.
Satan has put this system in place, and man has put his faith in it.
No wonder there is no true healing.
There is only pain management, life extension, and occasional healing.
But no LASTING, true healing.
For we attribute our health to many other gods.
We have put our faith in demons.
If anything, it's all business.
We really have much to correct in this world.
Only by obeying GOD's laws can we do so.
We have all been duped, deceived, and distracted.
Can you imagine what a doctor is being made to pay homage to?
REALLY think about it -- your doctor is being made to swear allegiance to gods like:
Apollo
Asclepius
Hygeia
Panacea
all the gods and goddesses
Did the Hippocratic Oath even talk about GOD?
The ONE, TRUE GOD?
The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
Attributing our healing to JESUS, the physician of the soul?
Now, I realize why apostle Paul became "apostle of the Gentiles".
Or why apostle John was given the Revelation by JESUS to the seven churches.
The world, both Jew and Gentile, are in GREAT need of correction.
Now I also realize why SPIRIT asked me to dig deep into Turkey, since 31 October 2023.
In fact, we created a whole blog on it.
Why Turkey?
"Well, that's for you to find out," smiled SPIRIT.
And boy, am I finding out!
Now I'm able to dig deep into ancient roots, and ancient faith.
Especially ancient demons.
That study on Turkey led to this post you're reading now.
All the while, SPIRIT's opening many more doors for me to look into.
My computer's filled with bookmarks, and notes, and verses.
With SPIRIT helping me weave things together.
The connections, and aha moments.
Yesterday, SPIRIT gave me a particular lead.
He made me look into the Hippocratic Oath, for starters.
It was immediately apparent how we have all been programmed.
With medicine, there's health care.
With health care, there's pharmaceuticals.
And GOD knows how many other industries are involved.
With the hand of Satan in everything.
Making us serve his gods.
In DIRECT defiance of GOD's laws.
Mocking GOD all the way.
And man, following blindly, and indifferently.
Well, SPIRIT and I are not about to let you go along.
We do not want you to find yourself in the pit of hell.
We turn to JESUS, Who is EVERYTHING.
No wonder the LORD told His disciples:
Matthew 9:37-38
King James Version
37 Then saith he unto his disciples,
The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
And the medical profession is only ONE industry we've looked into.
There's so much more to sift through.
Satan's tentacles have infiltrated our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits.
He has infiltrated all our homes, governments, nations, and industries.
He has corrupted our ways, and thinking.
Many of us are unaware, and indifferent.
We've sought the quick buck.
We've sought power, and prestige.
We've sought wealth, and vanity.
We've sold out.
All my blogs have shown us how we have.
I must continue where SPIRIT leads me each day.
And share with you ALL of my findings.
Not judging you, but merely waking you up.
Making you aware of where we're all going.
Or where we've been.
And where JESUS would rather take us.
John 14:2-4
King James Version
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
It's really time to examine our faith.
What do we believe in?
Who made us believe what?
Who made us buy into those beliefs?
Where is it taking us?
What is their intention?
Who are they?
As born again, I live by Scripture.
That guides me, night and day.
And every single moment.
Without which, this article wouldn't exist at all.
I would be unaware, and uncaring.
Just like most everyone.
Many are lazy, and just buy into the system.
Many are unaware, and don't care to know.
Many are afraid of the truth, and would rather stay ignorant.
Many know, and hope we don't notice.
Thank GOD for His SPIRIT, I came to know.
My faith is in JESUS, whose teachings I live by.
My spiritual foundation is sure, steady, and strong.
Built upon the ROCK, that is CHRIST.
Here are a few more things, just so you know:
-- We have a popular actor called "the Rock", when that title belongs to JESUS alone.
-- We have men of law calling themselves "Rabbis", when that title is reserved for JESUS alone.
-- We have a "Mediatrix", when only JESUS can be called the MEDIATOR.
Do you see what I'm sharing with you?
Satan made us worship many gods.
That's why we're lost, and divided.
Satan has a diabolical finger in EVERY pie.
He's taking us along with him -- to the pits of hell.
And man coasts along -- unawake, unaware, uncaring.
We have been beguiled with sweet talk, fame, fortune, vanity, beauty, and false promises.
And yet, if we'd but take a moment to sit down, and ask GOD:
"Am I doing the right thing?"
"What is the right thing to do?"
"What am I supposed to be doing?"
"What is absolute truth?"
"What is YOUR truth?"
"Who can I trust?"
"Am I going about this the right way?"
"Where is all this taking me?"
"To what end, all these?"
Yesterday was a real wake-up call for me.
Among many other wake-up calls since GOD gave me His truth.
More than ever, I see the world for what it really is -- under Satan.
More than ever, I see man for who he really is -- deceived.
More than ever, I must share the gospel with you.
Only by being born again can you be taught by SPIRIT.
In this deceived world, you need GOD's TRUTH alone.
Sure, you can do, what you've always done.
You can believe, what you've always believed.
You can live, as you've always lived.
And accept the risks that come with it.
Are you sure you want to?
All I know is, if you give your belief to other gods, you're in trouble.
In VERY, deep trouble.
As the world is today.
But the true born again has hope.
Only through JESUS are we saved.
Acts 4:12
King James Version
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Time to wake up, folks!
Time to know who you serve.
Time to know who got you to serve those.
Time to know where you've put your faith in.
Time to be awake, aware, and alive -- through CHRIST.
So many things I've come to know lately.
By the GRACE of GOD, by the LOVE of JESUS, by the PATIENCE of the HOLY SPIRIT, I'd be able to tell you everything.
When you know Scripture, nothing is hidden from you anymore.
When you know the enemy of CHRIST, you become prayerful.
When SPIRIT teaches you, ALL become clear.
I thank GOD, for SPIRIT!
