America's Shield of Faith is full of holes!

Ps 138:2 – God has exalted His Word above all His names.
            Jesus exalted to the right hand (authority) of the Father.

Rev 12:11 – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Proverbs 30:5-6 states, “Every Word of God is Pure; A shield to those who put their trust in it.  (6) Don’t add to, lest thou be reproved, and thou be made a liar, evidenced by God not backing up what you say or shielding you from the devil’s darts.

JUDGED BY THE WORD.—John 5:22 –Father to Son:  John 12:48 – Son to the Word!
Matt 12:36 – We will answer for every idle word we speak.

Angel Michael to Daniel 12:4,9, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the Words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (9) And he said, ‘Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”

Rev 5:1-14, --Only Jesus (the slain Lamb) through the Living Word (Christ) is able to open up the Words of the Book and give us understanding.  Jesus – Truth-Living Word-Holy Spirit.

O.T. – God willed, Spoke His Word (Truth) by prophets.
N.T. – God wills, God speaks His Word (Truth) through Jesus to us, Heb 1:1-2.

BELOW ARE AREAS TAUGHT BY MAINLINE DOCTOR’S OF THEOLOGY WHICH ARE CAUSING AMERICANS TO HAVE A VERY POOR SHIELD THAT IS NOT HOLDING BACK THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE DEVIL IN OUR SOCEITY.  ONLY GOD’S PURE WORD WILL SHIELD US FROM THE DEVIL AND CAUSE HIM TO FLEE. 

  1.  Faith – Heb 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Rom 10:17, Ps 119:9 - Faith only comes when we hear and accept God's Word.
FEAR – 2 Tim 1:7 Spirit of fear but of power, Love and a sound mind.

  1.  All men have Faith – Romans 12:3 -  Chapter on Gifts of Spirit . 
Deut 32:20 – God; Mark 4:40 – Jesus;  2 Thess 3:2 – Apostle Paul
      Can not place faith – not a commodity/item to put in pocket and do with as you please.

  1. We can have what we say! Mark 11:23 – We can only have what God tells us when He gets us out of doubt.  That, what He tells us, is our only confession of faith.  Jehoshaphat – 2 Chron 20:1-26;  David – 2 Sam 5:18-25   Jesse/Katrinia


  1. Love – Not three(3) loves!  Only one love – God, 1 John 4:8, 16, “God is Love.”  Philao/Eros are not love – they are just strong feelings of attraction, to say they are love is to “say they are other Gods.” Love isn’t a characteristic of God – He is Love! 
Andrew Wommack selling $100+ pkg on God kind of Love.  There is not a kind of love, there is One Love and the One Love is God!

  1. Mercy (Do to others as you would have God do to you.)   Luke 10:37 – Samaritan;  Luke 6:31 – Pray for those who despitefully use u; Bless those who cruse you!
God or His Love on or to mankind.  Psalms 25:10 – Mercy & Truth only in O.T.
Truth – John 17:17.  God (Love) to/on them and He spoke His Word to them.  Ps 25:10 – mercy/truth, covenants/testimonies.

  1. Grace (God’s Unmerited Favor) – TOTALLY INCORRECT!  a.  If unmerited were used to distinguish/define grace from “other loves”, then there would have to be “a merited grace.”  Unmerited is a characteristic of all of God’s manifested Love – Mercy, Grace, Compassion, Charity, etc., therefore, unmerited can not be used as a defining word to specify any word used for God’s Love.  b.  Grace is not defined or associated with favor.  Favor is God’s Love to or on His people, which is associated with the one-way Love mercy, not grace.  Mercy is God’s Love on or to His people externally.  Grace is the internal work of God (Love) in His people’s heart, Ez 36:26.  Grace was incorrectly interpreted into and used in the Old Testament.  Each time the word grace was used in the OT it should have been either favor or mercy because PS 25:10 says there was only mercy and truth in the OT to those who obeyed God’s covenant and testimonies.  John 1:14,17 states that grace came by Jesus, and He came in the fullness of M & T.
We have: Mercy – God’s Love on us, Grace – God’s Love in us, and Truth – God speaking to us through Jesus.  Jesus speaks to us through the Spirit – Holy Spirit!
Ez 36:26 –Col 1:27 – Rom 8:9 – Gal 4:6 – 2 Cor 5:17

  1. Charity- Vine’s, one of the main dictionaries of Biblical words doesn’t even attempt to define CHARITY, it just says “See Love.”  All of the new versions completely leave out Charity and replace it with Love, which is technically correct, but just saying Love does not give the beauty and special methods of how the Love is being manifested.  Charity is the work of God’s Love in the receptive and obedient heart of one or more of God’s Children who then allow God to flow freely and minister through them to someone else.  This is why in the KJV/Catholic  versions the Apostle Paul says Charity is the fulfillment of the Law – One of God’s Children is loving God with all their heart and by positively receiving and allowing the same Love, God, to pass through them to someone else - they are loving God with all their heart and loving their neighbor as they love themselves.  The work of Charity could also be described as “Faith that worketh by Love,” Gal 5:6,  since faith comes from accepting and obeying God’s Word, and in the work of Charity one or more of God’s Children are receiving and responding in Love to what God has asked them to do.  Faith that worketh by Love and Charity are the same thing, just described by different means of operational words.   Edify---to build up in Christ the Lord!

  1. Evil – is what is left in the absence of God.  Rom 1 --When mankind rejects God – He lets them go to their evil way – 2 Ch 7:14.  Our present public schools/society and especially government.  Lawyers – unGodly.

  1. Generational Curses – Ezek 18 – No such thing!  Bad personality characteristics or habits can be passed from generation to generation, but these are not CURSES from God!  Abram – Isaac – Jacob – lying, cheating, etc.  My dad an alcoholic, not a curse from God on me.  God was working to get me out of it! Aunt Pauline!
A curse – King Saul, Pharaoh – not just a bad hair day or a lot of bad luck!
No curse from God, but people are choosing to live with curses – 2 Cor 2:10-11, Eph 4:26-27,  Prov 26:2 – CURSE CAUSELESS SHALL NOT COME.
Willfully disobeying God’s Word or will results in us turning in agreement with the devil and allowing him to bring on or in our lives whatever he desires.  Ignorance of God’s Word or will is sometimes covered by God’s mercy, but He does not protect us from everything when we should be seeking Him to find out His will.  We must be actively seeking God’s pure Word, searching the Scriptures (different versions), praying, accepting the Scriptures we already know, to receive more truth from God. 

  1. God is in Control – NO!  1 John 5:19 – NIV – whole world lies in the control of the evil one. NAS- (power); Amp- (power), KJV – whole world lieth in wickedness.
MATT 28:18 – All power and authority given unto Jesus!  2 Cor 2 10; Eph 4:26. 
            ANY REJECTION OF GOD’S WORD OR WILL GIVES  devil CONTROL.
            Phil 2:14 – complaining/arguing; John 1:19 – quick to hear/slow to speak/wrath.
            Luke 6:      -pray for those who despitefull use you/curse you/ etc.
            DO U TRUST GOD ENOUGH TO LET HIM HANDLE THE PROBLEM?


  1. God changes His mind – Hebrews 13:8- Jesus Christ, same yesterday, today and forever.  Jesus has obviously changed!   Christ, the Living Word manifested in the flesh, has not changed!  Christ was with Moses as stated in Heb 11:26, and Christ, the Living Word (Holy Spirit), is with us today and will be with us forever!  God has not changed in personality, power, authority, or characteristics.

God Changed For:
Moses – Ex32:7-14
Hezekiah/ Isaiah – 2 Kings 20:1-11 God not a respector of persons:
Nineveh – Jonah 3:4-10
God wants to change: Jer 18:8,10; 26:3-13, 2 Chron 7:14.

PRAYER CHANGES GOD – NOT JUST THE PERSON PRAYING!  Devil doesn’t want you to know how important your prayers are, says nothing will happen except you will change your attitude!  The preachers across our nation are so out of fellowship with God and are not getting their payers answered, so they are teaching that God doesn’t change things, only the person praying!
IF  GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING – DOESN’T HE KNOW U WERE GOING TO PRAY AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS --- SO REALLY NOTHING CHANGED – YOU JUST DID WHAT HE HAD ALREADY PLANNED.  NO!
Predestination in our Society is based on God knowing everything.  But --
  1. Does God know everything? No!  First lets look at Scriptures that show that God did not hate Esau because when talking about predestination immediately someone will say “Well, God said He hated Esau even before Esau’s birth.”  After discussing Esau, I will show you Scriptures where God in His Sovereignty  gave up His ability to know certain things about us.  This will prove from the Scriptures that God does not know who will go to heaven/hell when people are born, and God did not say He hated Esau. 
First, lets look at Scriptures which show that God did not hate Esau.  God blessed and fought with Esau to give Esau a homeland in Mt. Seir that had before been occupied by giants.  God blessed Esau/Edom with Mt Sier – Deut 2:12 – during 20 years that God was blessing Jacob with wives and wealth.   God never said He hated Esau, Malachi never said God hated Esau, and God did not hate Esau.  
The problem comes from a misunderstanding through the years of Malachi 1: 1-3 – God did not say He hated Esau.  NO!
            GOD DID DESTROY ESAU’S HOMELAND IN LATER YEARS! But not because                        of Esau!
            Problem:  Esau/Edomites 400+ years after Esau died brought God’s curse of Gen 12:3 upon the Esau’s descendants, but not the man ESAU, He was dead!
            Gen 24:23 – 35:29 – “And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.”
            NOW WE CAN DISCUSS DOES GOD REALLY CHANGE THINGS AND CAUSE THINGS TO HAPPEN WHICH WERE NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE PRAY, AND ARE PEOPLE ALREADY PREDESTINATED (or chosen_ TO HEAVEN/HELL BEFORE BIRTH. 

We have seen from the Scriptures that God changed His mind for Moses, Nineveh, King Hezekiah, and God says in the Book of Jeremiah and many other places too that He wants to change, for example, 2 Chron 7:14, which most of you have heard many times, God says,  “If My people, which are called by my mane, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  God wants to change things, If we will change or turn back to Him and His ways!
SO,  did God really change for Moses, Nineveh, and King Hezekiah or did God already have all this planned and knew what was going to happen and just made it look like He changed?  NO, BECAUSE GOD REALLY DID CHANGE – OUR RESPONSE TO GOD’S LOVE IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT GOD-IN HIS SOVEREIGNTY GAVE UP THE RIGHT OR ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT OUR PERSONAL DECISIONS TOWARD HIM WOULD BE BEFORE WE MAKE THEM.  He wants our response to His Pure Love to be totally our free will choice – that we must answer for throughout eternity! He won’t make us choose for Him and the devil can not make us chose against God --- it is all our choice!
            LOOK AT THESE TWO AREAS WHERE GOD HAS CHOSEN TO GIVE UP
HIS ABILITY TO KNOW CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT US!  MAYBE MORE, BUT I ONLY KNOW OF TWO.
GOD DOES NOT KNOW OUR FORGIVEN SINS! -- In Is 43:25, God states, “I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions
 for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”
                  In  Heb 8:12, God states, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
NOW, I don’t know about all of you, but that means there is a lot about my early life that God does not know now.  There is probably a lot about your children’s misbehaving that you do not remember either- unless they are still doing the same things– see we are created in the image of our Father. 
                  THE SECOND AREA GOD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT US IS BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US FREE WILL AND DOES NOT KNOW THE DECISIONS WE WILL MAKE TO CHOICES WE ARE FACED WITH:  Listen to what God, Himself says about His people, the Children of Israel.”
  God says in Jer 7:31, “And they have built the high places of  Tophet,…to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.”  There are many other Scriptures in which God says He did not know something or completely changed His mind, because He loved people so much, He changed because of their prayers!  Many theologians who helped translate the copies of the Bible, seminary professors and pastors  know these Scriptures are in the Bible, yet they are too cowardly and afraid what their congregations will do or say, so to keep the money coming in they never mention them.  But, in this Scripture, God says he did not know how evil His people would become.  Now, is that just one version of the copies of the Bible misinterpreting the verse?  No – all 26 of the main versions all say the same thing – THAT GOD SAID HE DID NOT KNOW HOW EVIL HIS CHILDREN WOULD BE.
NOW- Now Rom 10:17 – states FAITH comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  To receive the above Scriptures to faith, Is 43:25, Heb 8:12 and Jer 7:31, means that from now on, you must not teach that God knows everything!  If you do you will be rejecting the above Scriptures to unbelief.  We must accept God’s own words to faith if we are going to accept anything to faith.  There are other Scriptures where God says He didn’t know things.  I won’t give them all here today, you can have the joy of finding some of them yourself. 
SO TO SUMMARIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT WE JUST COVERED:
A.      God will change things because of our prayers: Not just us, even though we will change with happiness and joy, God will cause things to happen that would never have happened in circumstances of our lives and in others lives because of us just talking to Him(prayer).  Our prayers are important and the devil does not  want you to know or believe what will happen when you start praying seriously, and getting sin our of your life, because then the devil will lose control and be defeated in your life.  Sin is the only thing that blocks our prayers from being answered, Isaiah 59:1-2, not God.
B.      God has not predestined any person to heaven/hell, neither does He know from before our birth who will go to heaven/hell.  Hell was not created for even one person – listen to what Jesus says and accept His words to faith in Matt 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Isaiah 5:14 – Hell enlarged.
C.      Since God does not know what decisions we will make, we each are totally responsible for whether we make the decisions to go to heaven or to go to hell.  God will not make us make the right decisions, and the devil can not keep us from making the right decisions.  Whether we stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ or stand at the Great White Throne judgment will depend on choices we each make while we are in this physical life.  
D.      FINALLY,  GOD DID NOT HATE ESAU, DID NOT SAY HE HATED ESAU, BUT GOD LOVED ESAU LIKE HE HAS LOVED *EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN BORN ON THE EARTH.   * Pharaoh cursed God’s people – Gen 12:3.  JESUS said that hell was not created for even one person.  God wants all of us to choose Him and be with Him in heaven,  so any of you listeners, regardless of your past can call out to God, repenting or turning from your sins, ask for forgiveness and invite the Spirit of Christ, right now to come into your heart, create in you the new heart and adopt you into the family of God.  John 14:6, I am the way, truth and life, no one can honor God the Father and reject the Son or His Word. 
E.      Our image or belief about God – determines how we relate to Him.  Heb 11:6 – We must not only believe God can do things—We must believe that He will hear and answer us if we seek Him diligently., Matt 7:11, Luke 11:13 – ye being evil give good how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit.

  1. God says My ways are not your ways…Is 55.  God is saying their “religious ways are not His ways.”  In Is 55, god is calling a sinful people to Him.  In 57, righteous people are being taken from the evil that is to come.  In Is 58, the religious people are fasting, worshiping, praying; all the things good people should do but they are complaining that God is not listening and answering their prayers.  God has already told them that “their ways were not His ways.”  God now clearly spells out why He doesn’t answer their prayers or ours either--- Is 59:1—SIN.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET KNOWLEDGE/UNDERSTANDINT/WISDOM!
And in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, 2 Pet 1:2-5.
Prov 4:4 – Get W and U                   Prov 9:10 – Fear of Lord beginning  W,
Most messages I have heard teach tha “our ways are not God’s ways,” like it is impossible for us to know God, or become lke Him because we are so lowly and incapable of knowing God.  But He wants us to know Him.
      Hosea 4:6 – My people perish for lack of K, because thou hast rejected K, I will
 reject thee.  Rom 12:2 – Renew your mind.  2 Pet 1:2 – Grace/peace multiplied
to u through K of Jesus. 1 Cor 2:16 – We (should) have the mind of Christ –
seeking God!

14. Permissive Will – Eccleasiastis 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Prov 30:5 says “Every Word of God is pure.”  Changing any of God’s Word is an evil work.  Moses struck the rock, when God told Him to speak to it – Lost his entrance into the Promised Land.  King Saul offered sacrifices to God after God told him to wait for the Prophet Samuel to offer the sacrifices – God pulled His Spirit from King Saul.  Samson revealed to the Philistine woman Delilah the secret of his strength and God removed His Spirit from him, Judges 16:20, “…And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.”
1 Sam 5:18-25—David was told he had to obey God’s Word exactly, (24)“… when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.”
2 Chron 20:1-26: Jehoshaphat: God said, “It is not your battle but mine, march out the gates, set yourself and watch the victory.”
Rom 11:29, “For the gifts and callings of God are without repentance.” 
2 Tim 1:9,”Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” Eph 2:8-10, “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. (10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” 
Each of us have a special calling, but the only way to find that calling is to seek God with all our heart – Jer 29:13.  If you are refusing to Obey God’s Call, or are refusing to seek God’s Call, you are refusing to allow God’s Spirit (grace) to work in your heart.  If you refuse to seek God you are refusing His work of Grace He wants to work in your heart.  Heb 11:1-4 – We are refusing God’s grace if we refuse or neglect his special call on our lives.
AS CHRISTIANS WE WILL ANSWER:  1 Cor 3:11-15, 2 Cor 5:10, “For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (11) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men:…” Rejecting God’s Call/Word, etc.
Failing to seek God’s special call in our life, unforgiven sin, prejudice, unforgiveness, and failing to serve God are all sin, 2 Chron 12:14 “And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.” (Reahobom).
  1.  FEAR – 2 Tim 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and
of love, and of a sound mind.”  FIRST:  Fear is not an emotion!  As Christians we are Spirit(Christ in us), Soul (mind, feelings, thoughts, & emotions) and our physical (body).  The spirit of fear is the devil not an emotion.   The devil attacking us causes us to have some extreme emotions which we have always just thought of as fear, but that is not correct; emotions are not fear.  Emotions are caused by Fear!   Fear is the spirit of the devil.  Now when we doubt God will protect us(from some harm), or doubt God will help us(teach a class, etc), provide for us(financially, health, etc), THESE DOUBTS open the door and the devil(the spirit) comes in and torments us as much as he can and that is what we call fear – the devil (spirit of fear) tormenting us.  He wants to get us as upset as much as possible so we will not calm down enough to seek and find God’s Will, or we will miss God when He speaks to us.  If he can get us that upset and we miss God, he (the devil) will have control in the situation..  FEAR is a FLAG!  Respond in prayer!  Jehoshaphat – Feared! Every time you recognize any fear or excessive worry – ASK yourself “What about God am I doubting.”  Seek God and get the doubt cleared up and the devil will be defeated and flee – James 4:7.   LET fear be your FLAG of warning, for the rest of your life – Respond by seeking God about your doubt instead of trying to fight the fear, 1 Pet 5:7.—Cast your cares on Jesus for He cares for you, because the devil roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour. 
There are so more errors being taught in our Christian community.  Christianity is so mixed up, no wonder God is not standing up for us against the devils onslaught through the internal  muslim attack on our country.
