The WINNING campaign

 Philippians 3:2-3

King James Version

2 Beware of dogs, 

beware of evil workers, 

beware of the concision.

3 For we are the circumcision, 

which worship God in the spirit, 

and rejoice in Christ Jesus, 

and have no confidence in the flesh.


There is only one campaign that will succeed.

There are a lot of "campaigns" going on in the world right now.

FOUR come to mind.

Kamala's campaign against Trump.

Iran's campaign against Israel.

Israel's campaign against her enemies.

Self's campaign.

As born again watchman, I must tell you.

There are clear signs of trouble in these campaigns.


The Kamala campaign sought celebrities to help out in her rallies.

Right there is the first sign of trouble.

You need celebrities to help you out?

Are your programs not sound?

Can't they stand on their own merit?


The Iran campaign sought alliances with India, Russia, and China.

Again, another sign of trouble.

Don't these countries have their own agenda, too?

Why are you all ganging up on tiny Israel?

Are you that afraid of her?


The Israel campaign sought GOD's help for every battle.

But she has been in judgment for a long time, too.

She has been idolatrous many times in the past.

And has not followed to completion the tasks GOD gave her.

She has also not acknowledged the MESSIAH had already come.


The self campaign seeks to honor self.

Where is GOD in all that?

Do we matter more than GOD, or others?

Are we really that important?

It's all pride, ego, vanity, and delusion.


All four are in error.

How can any of these campaigns succeed?

Not one has acknowledged the LORD JESUS CHRIST.


By their fruits are they "known".

JESUS clearly states:

Matthew 7:16-20

King James Version

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. 

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; 

but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 

neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit

is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.


We really are in the end times now.

Leaders, and nations, are positioning themselves.

As if sensing real change is about to happen.

Satan, most of all, thus, his extensive corruption of people.

Alliances are frail, fragile, and ambiguous.

Because these are "human", not "divine".

And oftentimes, "demonic".

Know the nature of man:

Jeremiah 17:5-6

King James Version

5 Thus saith the Lord; 

Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 

and maketh flesh his arm, 

and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, 

and shall not see when good cometh; 

but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, 

in a salt land and not inhabited.


Jeremiah 17:9-10

King James Version

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: 

who can know it?

10 I the Lord search the heart,

I try the reins, 

even to give every man according to his ways, 

and according to the fruit of his doings.


Matthew 15:19

King James Version

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, 

thefts, false witness, blasphemies:


Romans 3:11 

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.


Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;


Think upon these:

Has Kamala sought JESUS?

She turned away two college boys who spoke in the LORD's behalf.

Now, she's seen her error and is speaking at churches like a pastor.


Has Iran sought JESUS?

She seeks others like her, in full hatred of GOD's chosen nation.

Her only objective is to wipe off the U.S. and Israel from the map.


Has Israel sought JESUS?

Have they acknowledged that the Messiah had come?

The LORD still waits for them to say this:

Matthew 23:39

King James Version

39 For I say unto you, 

Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, 

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


Have people sought JESUS?

Most are obsessed with self.

Most have sought self, strife, and sin.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, 

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.


We are all in grave error.

Our worldly campaigns will never work.

At least, for the long-term, nor the spiritual-term.

It is time to turn to JESUS now.

It is time to be saved.

Largely from ourselves.


SPIRIT gave me a different campaign.

A WINNING campaign.

To share the gospel with you.

To write, warn, watch, wake you up, and worship GOD.

There is no campaign for self, or world domination.

Only a campaign for the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

To warn us of the Rapture, the Tribulation, and the end times.

That all may repent, and be saved, according to GOD's will.

And to believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Matthew 17:5

King James Version

5 While he yet spake, 

behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: 

and behold a voice out of the cloud, 

which said, 

This is my beloved Son, 

in whom I am well pleased; 

hear ye him.


born again only looks to JESUS, for strength.

Philippians 4:13

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.


Because without JESUS, we can "do nothing".

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


That's the most humbling thing we need to realize.

WITHOUT JESUS, we cannot do anything.

We cannot amount to anything.

Our purpose will not be clear.

We need JESUS.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

King James Version

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, 

and whose hope the Lord is.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, 

and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, 

and shall not see when heat cometh, 

but her leaf shall be green; 

and shall not be careful in the year of drought, 

neither shall cease from yielding fruit.


Which campaign have you given your support to?

Time to review your life, work, and motives.

Only GOD-sanctioned campaigns win.

Unless CHRIST is your campaign, you will only have partial victories.

Maybe even "empty" victories.

Or "fool's" victories.

But never a FULL victory.

Or a lasting victory.

Really pretty simple.

Why MOST people will NEVER be happy

 Exodus 15:22-24

King James Version

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, 

and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; 

and they went three days in the wilderness, 

and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, 

they could not drink of the waters of Marah, 

for they were bitter: 

therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, 

saying, What shall we drink?


It's those "murmurings" that do it.

The "discontent".

The "ingratitude".

The lack of "faith".

The "unfaithfulness".

The "worldliness".

The "greed".

The feeling of "entitlement".

Those are poison to the soul.


They cause grief.

They cause division.

They cause mayhem.

They cause envy.

They cause strife.

They cause discontent.

And people are not even aware of it.


Discontent eats up your soul.

It causes sadness in those who do their best.

In those who try to please you.

Knowing nothing will ever please you.

Nothing they do will ever be enough for you.

There will always be something missing.

Something you can't quite "deliver".

Or so, they think.


You will be exhausted living with people who are like that.

Those who look down upon your humble offerings.

Those who want the high life.

Few people are content.

They envy each other.

They try to outdo each other.

They want what others have.

Not appreciating what they already have.


The world has painted a picture of "want".

Too many companies offer too many "products".

One overlapping the other.

Creating "want" in us.

Creating a false sense of "security".

And an even more false sense of "acceptability".

As if our worth is judged by face, form, fame, and fortune.

1 Timothy 6:6-11

King James Version

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, 

and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment 

let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich 

fall into temptation and a snare, 

and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, 

which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: 

which while some coveted after, 

they have erred from the faith, 

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; 

and follow after righteousness, 

godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.


Satan fuels envy, and desire, in people.

He likes feeding his hungry demons within you.

He activates those dormant demons, that lie in wait.

For the opportune time you simmer in envy.

Wishing you had what your neighbor has.


Children are already covetous.

We want the toys others have.

And if we didn't have it, we'd throw tantrums.


When we got into our teens, we wanted to be accepted.

So we looked to clothes, gadgets, and social media.

Making us even riper for desire, and depression.


When we become adults, of working age, we begin to earn.

That's when we really go at it.

Buying everything we can afford.

And those we can't afford.


When we get married, trouble starts from covetous spouses.

Who want what the neighbors have.

Who want to be accepted in "circles".

Who simply had to "belong".


Where is GOD in all that?

Do we remember our Creator?

Have we thanked Him for our blessings?

Have we thanked each other for working so hard?

Gratitude is a rare thing in this flashy, modern world.


Covetousness causes everyone harm.

It makes you feel entitled -- surely an illusion.

Covetousness is a sin against GOD.

Colossians 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Mortify therefore your members 

which are upon the earth; 

fornication, uncleanness, 

inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, 

and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh 

on the children of disobedience:


We often have a war "within".

The war of raging discontent.

Scripture tells us the source of "strife".

Both of internal, and external strife:

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


Satan boasted to JESUS that he owns the world.

Imagine claiming such -- truly laughable.

Matthew 4:8-9

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.


How did the LORD respond?

Matthew 4:10

King James Version

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, 

Get thee hence, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.


When you worship possessions, you worship CHRIST's enemy.

Who happens to be the cause of all our downfall.

We are weighed down by pride, greed, vanity, ego, and possessions.

We become possessed by such things.

Weighing down our very spirits.


The only hope for any of us?

LOVE GOD above all.

FOCUS on GOD alone.


It is a fool who loves the world, more than he loves GOD.

The world is temporary.

We are temporary.

Our breath belongs to GOD.

At any given moment, JESUS can show up in the clouds.

And have His faithful -- the dead, and living -- join Him.

What good would your possessions be if you don't have the people you love around anymore?

What good would face, form, fame, and fortune be, when these hinder you from being with JESUS?


It was never about us, or our "toys".

Or how much we have.

Or how famous we are.

Or how beautiful we are.

Or how powerful we are.

It was always about loving GOD.

And being grateful for everything.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

King James Version

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.
