The reliable KJV

 1 John 2:27

King James Version

27 But the anointing 

which ye have received of him 

abideth in you, 

and ye need not that any man teach you: 

but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, 

and is truth, and is no lie, 

and even as it hath taught you, 

ye shall abide in him.

When GOD made me born again over five years ago, I committed myself to learn the words of JESUS, EXACTLY as He DELIVERED it.

I was not about to study a Bible, with text missing.

On 19 August 2021, I even wrote this:

"Which BIBLE translation to read?

Before becoming born again, I didn't know.

SOON as GOD made me born again, it was easy.

He led me to KING JAMES VERSION (KJV) right away.

Fortunately, I dove right in.

For I was to know -- nearly 24 months after -- that it happened to be a difficult to understand version.

Many people get put off by the seeming archaic language.

Truth be told?

I had no problem with it.

I relish the grace, beauty, and precision of KJV."

-- WHICH Bible TRANSLATION to READ?

Today, I knew I was right in sticking to KJV.

As if to support my findings, the HOLY SPIRIT led me to a video today.

Which showed missing verses from other Bible versions.

In Matthew's gospel --

KJV stated:

Matthew 17:21

King James Version

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out 

but by prayer and fasting.

With NIV, the verse was nowhere to be found.

It did have a "footnote".

Footnotes

Matthew 17:21 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Mark 9:29.

In Mark's gospel --

KJV states:

Mark 9:29

King James Version

29 And he said unto them, 

This kind can come forth by nothing, 

but by prayer and fasting.

NIV states:

Mark 9:29

New International Version

29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.

In the Matthew example, NIV didn't include the 21st verse.

In the Mark example, NIV took out the word, "fasting".

If you know anything about spiritual warfare, you'd know "fasting" was important.

Apart from the fact JESUS included "fasting" in His commands.

The context of those two gospels involved the inability of the LORD's disciples to cast out a devil from a young boy:

Matthew 17:15-21

King James Version

15 Lord, have mercy on my son: 

for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: 

for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, 

and oft into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, 

and they could not cure him.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? 

bring him hither to me.

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; 

and he departed out of him: 

and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 

and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20 And Jesus said unto them, 

Because of your unbelief: 

for verily I say unto you, 

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, 

ye shall say unto this mountain, 

Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; 

and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out 

but by prayer and fasting.

Mark 9:17-29

King James Version

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, 

Master, I have brought unto thee my son, 

which hath a dumb spirit;

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, 

he teareth him: and he foameth, 

and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: 

and I spake to thy disciples 

that they should cast him out; 

and they could not.

19 He answereth him, and saith, 

O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20 And they brought him unto him: 

and when he saw him, 

straightway the spirit tare him; 

and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21 And he asked his father, 

How long is it ago since this came unto him? 

And he said, Of a child.

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, 

and into the waters, to destroy him: 

but if thou canst do any thing, 

have compassion on us, and help us.

23 Jesus said unto him, 

If thou canst believe, 

all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, 

and said with tears, 

Lord, I believe; 

help thou mine unbelief.

25 When Jesus saw 

that the people came running together, 

he rebuked the foul spirit, 

saying unto him, 

Thou dumb and deaf spirit, 

I charge thee, 

come out of him, 

and enter no more into him.

26 And the spirit cried, 

and rent him sore, 

and came out of him: 

and he was as one dead; 

insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, 

and lifted him up; 

and he arose.

28 And when he was come into the house, 

his disciples asked him privately, 

Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, 

This kind can come forth by nothing, 

but by prayer and fasting.

JESUS was EXPLICIT in His command:

Casting out "this kind" of demon 

can only be done by "prayer and fasting".

Why would NIV leave such an important facet out?

Prophet Daniel knew how important "fasting" was.

Read through the spiritual battle he, and the TWO mighty angels, had to go through.

For which his 21 days of fasting helped:

Daniel 10:3

King James Version

3 I ate no pleasant bread, 

neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, 

neither did I anoint myself at all, 

till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Daniel 10:4-6

King James Version

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, 

as I was by the side of the great river, 

which is Hiddekel;

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 

and behold a certain man clothed in linen, 

whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

6 His body also was like the beryl, 

and his face as the appearance of lightning, 

and his eyes as lamps of fire,

and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, 

and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Daniel 10:7-8

King James Version

7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: 

for the men that were with me saw not the vision; 

but a great quaking fell upon them, 

so that they fled to hide themselves.

8 Therefore I was left alone, 

and saw this great vision, 

and there remained no strength in me: 

for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, 

and I retained no strength.

Daniel 10:9-10

King James Version

9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: 

and when I heard the voice of his words, 

then was I in a deep sleep on my face, 

and my face toward the ground.

10 And, behold, 

an hand touched me, 

which set me upon my knees 

and upon the palms of my hands.

Daniel 10:11

King James Version

11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, 

a man greatly beloved, 

understand the words that I speak unto thee, 

and stand upright: 

for unto thee am I now sent. 

And when he had spoken this word unto me, 

I stood trembling.

Daniel 10:12-13

King James Version

12 Then said he unto me, 

Fear not, Daniel: 

for from the first day 

that thou didst set thine heart to understand, 

and to chasten thyself before thy God, 

thy words were heard, 

and I am come for thy words.

13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia 

withstood me one and twenty days: 

but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, 

came to help me; 

and I remained there 

with the kings of Persia.

We know "fasting" -- apart from belief, and prayer -- are important.

So much so, SPIRIT made me create a blog on it on 15 November 2022:

JESUS and TRUTH

 Psalm 119:29-30

King James Version

29 Remove from me the way of lying: 

and grant me thy law graciously.

30 I have chosen the way of truth: 

thy judgments have I laid before me.

How much of the news is believable?

Are these reliable?

Are these truthful?

How can one discern?

Should the news get you all worried?

Should you get all excited?

How can you tell truth, from propaganda?

Where do the news lead you?

How is it affecting you?

Can you trust it?

We live in a world of social media.

We switch on our gadgets, and there's news.

We have a horde of news to choose from.

News never sleeps.

It's a very hungry system.

Which needs constant feeding.

More often than not, it likes juicy, tasty "morsels".

Enticing you to believe the gossip, or disinformation.

That's why reporters scramble for a "scoop".

Just like with everything in this world, it's for "profit".

But it hardly profits our soul.

As born again, I only trust ONE SOURCE, and ONE SPIRIT.

And these don't belong to the world of news.

But They belong to the strong, sure, and steady:

JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT

Whatever the world presents, the Bible already knows.

It gives us past, present, and future.

World news doesn't make us panic.

We merely pray for GOD's will.

And await fulfillment of Scripture.

Which it always does.

Habakkuk 2:3

King James Version

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, 

but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: 

though it tarry, wait for it; 

because it will surely come, 

it will not tarry.

You can only comprehend, and accept this, if you're born again.

SPIRIT and Scripture will lead you to GOD's TRUTH.

Which is the ONLY reliable thing in the world.

Keeping you safe from harm, or manipulation.

Keeping your soul, saved.

Keeping you informed.

World news changes all the time.

GOD's TRUTH remains.

JESUS tells you Himself what to believe in, and what not to:

John 8:31-32

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus 

to those Jews which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.

John 8:46-47

King James Version

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? 

And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: 

ye therefore hear them not, 

because ye are not of God.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.

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.

JESUS honors GOD, the FATHER, here:

John 17:8

King James Version

8 For I have given unto them the words 

which thou gavest me; 

and they have received them, 

and have known surely that I came out from thee, 

and they have believed that thou didst send me.

John 17:14

King James Version

14 I have given them thy word; 

and the world hath hated them, 

because they are not of the world, 

even as I am not of the world.

John 17:17

King James Version

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: 

thy word is truth.

John 17:18-19

King James Version

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, 

even so have I also sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, 

that they also might be sanctified 

through the truth.

John 17:22

King James Version

22 And the glory which thou gavest me 

I have given them; 

that they may be one, even as we are one:

John 17:23

King James Version

23 I in them, and thou in me, 

that they may be made perfect in one; 

and that the world may know 

that thou hast sent me, 

and hast loved them, 

as thou hast loved me.

Anything that conforms to JESUS, is TRUE.

Anything that doesn't, belongs to His enemy.

That's how you can tell truth, from propaganda.

JESUS is LOVE.

Satan is hatred.

JESUS is PEACE.

Satan is war.

JESUS is DIVINE simplicity.

Satan is evil complexity.

JESUS is TRUTH.

Satan is a liar.

JESUS is LIFE.

Satan is death.

JESUS is LIGHT.

Satan is darkness.

JESUS is PERFECTION.

Satan is sin.

JESUS is SALVATION.

Satan is destruction.

JESUS is a GIVER.

Satan is a taker.

It's really that simple.

Find your truth in JESUS.

In these last days, focus on JESUS alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

Focus on the GOOD news:

Hosea 6:1-2

King James Version

6 Come, 

and let us return unto the Lord: 

for he hath torn, and he will heal us; 

he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: 

in the third day he will raise us up, 

and we shall live in his sight.

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.

A 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.

CALL to HOLINESS

 2 Corinthians 6:18

King James Version

18 And will be a Father unto you, 

and ye shall be my sons and daughters, 

saith the Lord Almighty.

We are called to be holy.

We are called to be perfect.

We are called to be blameless.

We are called to be born again.

Why?

For what reason?

For what purpose?

Why the urgency?

We are in the end times.

The Rapture is imminent.

The day of the LORD is at hand.

Now is not the time to be lazy.

Skeptical.

Belligerent.

Indifferent.

Or wicked.

That will be at our own peril.

Everyday is pure grace from GOD.

We cannot thank GOD enough for His patience.

We cannot fathom His love for us.

He sent His Son to die in our place.

JESUS spoke of the urgency of the times.

That's why He said:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

We are called to repent of our sins.

To reconcile with GOD.

To be refreshed of our sins.

Through the precious blood of the LAMB.

Which happens to be JESUS, the sin offering.

If you are born again, you'd know the urgency of the times.

You'd see the signs all around you.

There's chaos, confusion, and cruelty.

As well as deception, deviation, and demolition.

When will you wake up?

When will you acknowledge the LORDSHIP of JESUS?

When will you acknowledge your sins?

When will you repent?

Will you keep going around in circles, as most people do?

Will you buy the lies Satan has imprinted upon man's hearts?

Will you rely on yourself, or others, to save you from destruction?

Will your money save you, when GOD decides "It's time!"

Do you think you, or anyone else, have any power at all?

SALVATION only comes through JESUS.

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.

All our blogs call you to "holiness".

To purity, praise, and perfection.

To healing, humility, and the HOLY SPIRIT.

To wholeness, worship, and the WORD.

To justice, joy, and JESUS.

To grace, good, and GOD.

To do RIGHT work.

All our blogs tell you where Satan attacks.

Who he likes to attack.

How he attacks.

How to avoid such attacks.

How to survive such attacks.

How DEEP his infiltration is.

How VAST his "network" is.

How ASLEEP most people are.

We can survive Satan's multi-pronged attacks.

But only THROUGH JESUS.

He gives us VICTORY over sin and death.

All these we comprehend only by being born again.

We need to be holy, for we are in the end times.

Apart from that, we need to know this:

Our bodies are the

temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.

A sacred place where He can govern.

A place where JESUS can live.

A place where GOD is loved.

This is the call for all of us:

2 Corinthians 7:1

King James Version

7 Having therefore these promises, 

dearly beloved, 

let us cleanse ourselves 

from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, 

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
