Pandemics & Socialism – Heaven vs. The New World Order – By Thomas Koester

This is an uplifting, positive and hope-filled message.

In light of all that has happened over the past several weeks, the world is seamlessly conforming to governing authorities. Food and supply rationing, voluntary and involuntary quarantine and many, many more limitations and restrictions.

For those that believe and obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, trials and tribulations are a way of life. At least, they should be.

If we focus on heaven and understand that heaven is our final destination and the place where we’re told to invest our treasures, our HOPE in heaven should actually be a stronger contagion than an invisible virus.

If, however, God’s people are preoccupied with a worldly utopianism, then our hope in heaven is sadly muted. The lost will see no distinction between worldly utopianism and the hope of heaven.

Recently I became convicted over my hoarding of toilet paper. I had purchased four packs of 12 rolls. While I made the surplus purchase for my out-of-town children, the quarantine has kept us from traveling to them, and now I’m stuck starring at my surplus, while others are in need.

The story of the Children of God in the Egyptian Wilderness that had left all their securities and comforts in their flight from Pharaoh came flooding into my mind. Helpless and without food and the necessities of life, they began to witness miracle after miracle.

God immediately began to feed them food from heaven. All they had to do was to each morning gather it up. There were no lines of people or social distancing. Their shoes and clothing stoped showing wear and tear. God’s presence in the form of an enormous pillar of fire during the night and an amazing pillar of smoke during the day, comforted and protected the Children of Israel.

But, like God’s ancient children of Israel, we too gathered up more than we needed for the day and even the week.

The Children of Israel, escaping 400 years of slavery, had become too dependent upon Egypt for their meager rationing of food; of building materials, supplies and clothing. Their slave-mentality and worldly dependency conflicted with the tenderness of the Father-Hearted God of Israel.

Even with God’s promises of a land flowing with milk and honey as their very own possession, it could not break the slave-mentality of God’s people. They craved the guarantees of enslavement to the most powerful nation on the earth, more than the promises of God, creator of heaven and earth!

During the 40 years of wilderness wandering, the Children of Israel gathered more than enough food for the day. However, every time they hoarded more than enough, it rotted by the next morning, rendering it inedible.

Then they complained about the lack of variety and craved meat, so God sent them quail. They even abused God’s generosity and began gathering too much of the birds. Then God sends them so much quail, the birds stacked up knee-deep, creating a new problem with the “hoarders of Israel.” The quail rotted in their teeth making them sick.

You see, God wants his people to standout. God wants to show the world, through you and I that he can, and does provide. God wants his people to believe in his promises of Heaven, just like he wanted his children of Israel to believe in the promises of a land flowing with milk and honey.

As Moses sent out twelve spies to scout out the promised land, only two came back with a good report. The other ten spies only saw the land of giants and their slave-mentality robbed them once again of experiencing God’s promises.

The two optimistic spies filtered out the impossible because they believed in the goodness and greatness of God which was shown to them since God rescued them from Egypt and Pharaoh’s might.

Are you optimistic about God? Or are you optimistic in governmental control?

Are you more enamored in worldly utopianism, or are you heavenly-minded?

I think just like the testing that went on and on during the wilderness wandering of the Children of Israel, many of God’s Children today are wandering, and wondering with fear and doubt. So much fear and doubt that many are clinging to a slave-mentality. Many are craving the power of America just like their biblical ancestors craved the might of Eygpt and the power of Pharaoh.

Adjust your trust and pass this test!

Show the world that you are the Children of God, by trusting in his goodness and father-heart. Start obeying the truth of God’s promises so that the world can see heavenward.

Stop your needless wandering and start to wonder about the amazing and unstoppable love and goodness of God.

Obedience becomes a response and act of love towards God. “If you love me, you will obey all that I’ve commanded you, writes the Apostle, John. We don’t love, to be justified, rather we love because we are justified. We don’t love God to be loved, rather we love God because he first loved us. “…but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Writes Paul to the Roman Christians.

But alas, we have lost our vision and appetite for heaven. Our longing for heaven has been replaced with impatience and synthesized heaven. Our eternal hope has been replaced with the expediency of the here and now; the instant access to “Turkish delights” and winks and giggles to worldly compromise. We simply create an app for our smartphones and tablet PCs to displace our heavenly hope.

We’ve joined the world in their quest for a “perfect” society, here and now. If we don’t live in our Heavenly Hope, we have nothing to show or challenge their false visions of Nirvana.

Fifty percent of today’s youth want Socialism. Why? Because Socialism is filling the vacuum left by a retreating Church from its place in society and culture.

If we would simply fall in love again with our First Love and paint on the canvases of our faces our heavenly hope; recapture the joy of our salvation, maybe the world would notice that a better world does indeed exist. Maybe – just maybe, we would have words rather than judgments to express the Hope, which lies in the heart and soul of us who believe.

“And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so that all nations will hear it, and then, finally, the end will come,” writes Matthew

Let’s leave all our earthy heaven-building and our legislative agendas of Christian Utopianism and unveil the true Heaven, which by the way, is not of this world.

Let’s get back to preaching and declaring the Good News about the Kingdom of God to every Nation so that end will end, and the beginning can begin.

Our future is in a New Heaven and in a New Earth and not in a New Social Order. Let our heavenly hope to be the new contagion and become the new pandemic!

Your Fake Faith Won’t Save You From a Real Hell – A Dire Warning To The Hyper Spiritualists & Charismatic Pagans – By Thomas Koester

Give me a break, you false prognosticators and fake prophets.

How arrogant to announce that the Coronavirus is a sign that we’re entering into “The Great Tribulation,” when the middle East, Asia and much of Africa has been experiencing tremendous and overwhelming tribulation for the past decade.

How about the Christians in North and East Africa, and including South Africa that are beaten, terrorized, robbed and beheaded?

How about the Christians in many Middle Eastern Nations, also being martyred by all sorts of treachery and murderous rampage?

How about the Christians murdered by Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong and Che Guevara?

Western Christianity dosen’t deserve, or attract real tribulation, because it’s Christians do not act like true Christ followers, and are preoccupied with religious progressivism, cheap grace and a watered down Gospel. Be careful what you call tribulation, it just might be God’s righteous judgment against the fakery of Western Christianity.

Western Christianity is not in the same class as our brothers and sisters all over the world, suffering because of their fiery passion and fearless loyalty to Christ Jesus.

Tribulation comes to those that practice true holiness and devotion to Jesus Christ and not to the spiritually flamboyance of charismatic-paganism and hyper-spiritualism.

You are not worthy of tribulation, nor the Devil’s time. You may think you’re honoring God, but you’ve been worshiping demons, and being intoxicated by their seductive allure to your mind, will and emotions.

You are “The I Feel Crowd,” constantly seeking new feelings and spiritual experiences that have nothing to do with Heaven; with the Holy Scriptures, authentic faith and real salvation.

The Devil is not a bit concerned about your fake faith and lust for gifts and miracles. He doesn’t care about your phoney worship services, or your “special revelations.”

Why?

Because you’re performing his gigs.

You’re no threat to the Kingdom of Darkness, and the Devil, and, well he’s absolutely fine with that. “Any friend of the World,” says the Devil, “is a friend of mine.”

You see, you’re either a fan of the Devil’s, or a follower of Jesus Christ. It’s the Devil that’s after a fan base. Jesus, well, he told the Devil a firm “No,” when he offered him the kingdoms of the world, if he’d only bow down and worship him.

So, don’t tell us that we’re at the beginning of The Great Tribulation; nope, you’ve got it wrong! We’re in the beginning of The Great Falling Away, and you’re leading Mainstream Christianity right over the cliff, all the while singing “love songs.”

Let me ask you an honest question…

Are you a Fan, or are you a follower?

Turn to the real and only Saviour, Christ Jesus, cause your fake faith won’t save you from a real hell!

Untapped Spiritual Power – By Thomas Koester

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” – John 11:25-26

If Church attendance and membership rosters were any indication of spiritual success then Jesus Christ would have been considered as a complete and utter failure.

His own disciples ran out on him, and his Father let him suffer a naked and terrible death on a cross. He was buried in a borrowed tomb, which was carefully guarded by nearly a dozen Roman solders.

Yet, Christianity finds its roots in the single and most important act:

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“…and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.” – 1 Corinthians 15:14

It is the power of Christ’s resurrection, which should both compel and propel your Church and not budgets and bodies!

“The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all.” – Acts 4:33

The focus of a Church living from the roots and foundation of the resurrected Lord of Life, is to seek and to save the lost, rather than a mausoleum of inactive Christians.

To the early Christians and First Century Church the Resurrection was their main message. For us today its become a holiday.

“I want to know Him inside and out. I want to experience the power of His resurrection and join in His suffering, shaped by His death, so that I may arrive safely at the resurrection from the dead.” – Philippians 3:10-11

If you want a vibrant and alive Church, preach the Resurrection of Christ throughout the year.

If you want a dead Church, stay with your religious tips and tricks, and keep following those mainstream, so-called Christian fads and fashions. You may get your numbers and budgets, but you’ll have no real spiritual power.

Without real spiritual power you’ll have no real spiritual fruit.

The Church was founded and propelled by an Outlaw, and today the Church is held back by it’s bylaws!

Get back to the message of Resurrection, and not just on Easter Morning.

Preach powerfully the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing will be upon you all.

The greatest critic and deniers of the resurrection of Christ are not disbelievers and atheists, but those who refuse to preach and live it!

True spiritual success still comes from the most powerful event in all human history…

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“Do you believe this?”

If you did, you’d be full of life and full of power, and no worldly or spiritual force could stop your message.

Tap into it and live it and gain true spiritual power, power the Lost and the Broken are waiting for.

The Green New Deal & The New Egypt – By Thomas Koester

The Democrat leadership has fallen prey to the false ideals of Socialism and the impossible dream of Utopia. They desire complete Federalization of our economy, of our food, our education, our transportation, our healthcare, our factories; even our basic ability to communicate freely and openly. The impetus of National Socialism in America is The Green New Deal.

This Green New Deal will first ask us for our wages, our properties, our cars, our sons and daughters. When we have nothing more for them to take, they will then come for us. Since in the United States, Socialism cannot excel as an official party, they have infiltrated and infested the Democratic Party, using it as a parasitical host.

There was a similar time in History, whereby an entire group of people became enslaved. It was in Middle East, when a historic famine in Egypt occurred from 1708 BC – 1701 BC. During a seven-year period severe drought struck the region, whereby no grain grew, and water being scarce, livestock suffered, as well as many people.

Prior to this Great Famine of ancient Egypt, Egypt, being The Great Super Power of their day, began storing grains, livestock, food and supplies for seven years before the start of The Great Famine.

Three and one half years into the Great Famine, the desperateness of Hebrew people caused them to move into the land of Egypt. Egypt sold stockpiles of food and commodities to the Hebrews (Israelites), and to their own people. When the Israelites ran out of money, they sold what was left of their starved livestock. When they ran out of livestock, they sold their children into slavery. When they ran out of children, they sold themselves into slavery, so that they might have food, shelter; basic needs and “employment.” Employment soon turned into hard labor, and hard labor turned into the misery of slavery.

Their slavery lasted for 400 years!

The Green New Deal is the New Egypt. If we stand idly by; if we refuse to expose and discredit Socialism, and the Far Left’s agenda to Nationalize and Federalize everything, we will become slaves. We’ll become forcibly dependent on government and the Masters of Deceit and Control. Quantity and quality will become a scarcity. Their madness of redistribution and “equality” will create nothing more than equal misery.

Don’t allow America to slip away. If America falls into Socialism there will be nowhere else to go. As a matter of verifiable and historical fact, Socialism will morph into full blown communism and dictatorial control.

If you’re not shocked about the popularity of the self-admitted Socialist, Berney Sanders, and his influence within culture and politics, you’ve not been paying attention. You cannot ignore the rise of Socialism, nor laugh it off. Socialism is here within our borders, and like the Coronavirus, it’s spreading rapidly throughout our Nation and body-politics.

The Coronavirus’s ability to mutate, and the fact that a carrier can spread the virus, all the while being asymptomatic, makes this virus strain significantly dangerous.

Socialism’s ability to mutate in, and through various leftists ideologies, makes it significantly dangerous. Coupled with sheer ignorance and a lack of historical knowledge, it lurks deep within the psyche of it’s carriers. All the while, being asymptomatic, that is, unaware of the political disease within their minds, they spread like a virus. They are oblivious to the toxicity of Socialism, and therefore are unaware of it’s corrosive affects on freedom and liberty.

Make no mistake. Socialism, and it’s stepchild, Communism has killed as many people, indiscriminately, as did the horrific plaques of yesteryear.

The Green New Deal, is not “New”. It’s The New Egypt of the 21st Century.

Attention – Special News Report – Thomas Koester reporting…

Several scrappy fishermen, a tax collector, homeopathic doctor, named Luke, a doubter named Thomas (ouch), and a former Christian persecutor and murderer reached the entire Asia and Mediterranean Region of some eleven million people within a few short years. Under extreme persecution, Roman Army occupied territories and murderous Judaizers (fanatical Jews which persecuted the early Church and Gentile believers from city to city and region to region).

If they can get it done without freedom and guaranteed protections under a Constitution and Bill of Rights, how pleased do you think The Great Sheppard is with the 21st Cemetery Western Crutch? Whoops! I’m sorry, I meant the 21st Century Western Church.

Will the Western Church arise because of a new and sympathetic President, who has promised to defend Christians and Isreal, or simply stay asleep in the light? Jesus Christ not only warned us about the leaven of the Pharisee, but the leaven of Herod also.

What will the Western Church do during the great and New Roaring 20s, and economic boom, and financial growth? Remodel their sanctuaries? expedite their building plans? Stimulate the Gospel, and expedite the Kingdom of God?

2020 is not a time for the Church to relax, but to take hold of the Kingdom of God, and trudge forcefully and prayerfully through apathy and indifference, until we out preform several scrappy fishermen, a tax collector, homeopathic nin, named Luke, a doubter named Thomas (ouch), and a former Christian persecutor and murderer, named Paul.

Maybe Christianity needs a populist movement of scrappy, non seminarian educated believers, to break the control of the religionists elites who seem more concerned about church attendance than with the Kingdom of God’s advancement.

…Maybe Francis Chan is onto something in San Francisco…

…After all, the Kingdom of God is not a democracy and the true Church is not a corporation.

His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah 9:7

While the Church waits for the Rapture, the World is missing the Kingdom of Heaven, here and now.

Oh Lord, bring us back to the simplicity and beauty of your Gospel and turn us once again into men and women of great faith and courage like your First Century Apostles. Amen

The Intentional Collapsing of America Through Tolerance – By Thomas Koester

There is an unseen force, which has corrupted all seven pillars of our culture and society.
1. God/Absolute Truth/Freedom to Worship.
2. Traditional Family.
3. Morality/Ethics/Rule of Law.
4. Sanctity of all Human Life/Civility.
5. Independent Private Education/Ungoverned Learning.
6. Work Ethic/Entrepreneurial Spirit.
7. Freedom/Liberty/Self-Governance.
It is the progressive spirit and its gradualism, which had accomplished this in a free and opened society by utilizing the same freedoms guaranteed us by God and afforded to us through our Constitution. The single most deadly word which historians will ascribe to the loss of such a Great Nation as ours is “tolerance.”
Tolerance is the perfect atmosphere in which progressivism and gradualism are required in order to corrupt the Seven Pillars of any culture, society or nation, and religious institutions. Once it takes root, it slowly and patiently corrupts each pillar like rust or dry rot slowly and inevitably destroys foundations.
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3
The Spirit of the Age knows this. And, it is the Church, more than any other institution which has permitted this corruption through a single, most basics and simple word called “Love.”
Once we allowed the Spirit of the Age, through our tolerance to exclude from God all other attributes except His divine nature of Love, the World and Spirit of the Age only had to emphasize and exploit the benevolence and tolerance of God to neutralize the Churches obligation and calling. And, we therefore forfeited our mandate of being both the salt and the light of every generation and to every nation.
What will it take in this our Nations most desperate hour?
The Righteous must repent of their own unrighteousness and return to the God of Heaven and Earth and destroy the Golden Calf of the “False Yahweh,”
which we allowed the Spirit of the Age to form in our presence in exchange for worldly relevance.
For who needs to be saved from a loving God? And, what Christian would need to fear such a benevolent and tolerant God?
For God has not changed, His Just and Righteous Wrath and all its fury is being stored up.
Christ Jesus becomes the perfect Lamb of God. The blood of Christ is divine and uncorrupted, and because of the immaculate implantation of the Seed of God into the womb of Mary, a perfect substitute for all mankind was born.
This New Covenant, which God had ordained, expanded the love He had already demonstrated to the people of Israel for centuries past before the birth of Christ. God did not become more loving. His great and amazing love does not trump His other attributes. Rather, God expanded His amazing plan of salvation to all mankind.
“No man can come to the Father except through me,” said Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the only access, the only door and the only relevance for all mankind. Belief through faith and obedience in and to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved from the wrath of God against all men of every race and creed Yes, God is a loving God, but until you believe through faith and act in obedience, you are under His just wrath.
Trust and believe in Christ Jesus today. And begin a new year with a new life, and so restore the pillars of our culture, society, and nation, one man and woman at a time. Jesus Christ remains our only hope and our only Savior.
There are things that only the righteous can do that no president or politician can. Reveal the True and whole Counsel of God. Exalt the one and only Living God as He is and not what the world wants.
Our God is no love guru. He is God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. His love and tolerance are only found in Jesus Christ. He is our only remedy against God’s wrath.

Only God can stop the collapsing of America.

Today, This Scripture Is Fulfilled In Your Hearing – By Thomas Koester

Over this past week, and even at this very moment, I’ve been enduring terrible pain and suffering. Matter of fact, I’m writing this post while lying sick in my bed.

During the past several days, I made peace with God and got my inner house in order, as I thought I might die during the night. It felt like my face and head were going to explode. I felt helpless.

I can’t imagine how people live with chronic pain. It’s only been a week for me. I called two local dentist’s offices, but they were closed on Fridays. Finally, this past Friday, I was able to see a doctor at our local clinic and get an antibiotic and pain pills. I’m finally on the mend. Praise God!

But what about emotional pain and the suffering of a broken or betrayed heart?

Several years ago, I had asked an intergenerational group of men and boys this question:

What would you rather have, a broken leg or a broken heart?

Everyone in the room shouted, a fractured leg!

What was particularly sad was that all the teenagers had already experienced a broken heart and knew too well the enduring and lasting pain of what it feels like to have a heartbroken.

I think some physical pain can be managed, even chronic pain. But the pain and suffering of a broken heart and wounded soul seem to permeate our thoughts and actions and distort our ability to trust, forgive and truly live and love.

The old wives’ tale that “time heals all wounds” is not necessarily accurate. Time creates distance from our days of infamy, loss, betrayal, or emotional pain. Talking is helpful, but it too simply helps us manage heartache and emotional distress.

In the book of Isaiah, chapter sixty-one, verse one, we find a particular passage of healing and restoration:

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Even more peculiar is that hundreds of years later, Jesus of Nazareth went into the Synagogue, opened the scroll, and read this very passage. After reading this passage, and with every eye on him, he said:

“Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

What I want my fellow sufferers to understand is that today, for you and I, this Scripture is fulfilled in our hearing!

You see, while Jesus of Nazareth came to seek and to save sinners, he also came to heal and bind up our broken hearts. Some of us have been battling hurt and pain for so long that it’s become a lifestyle. For others, it’s become a form of captivity, and yet others, a life sentence of imprisonment, loneliness, and loveless life.

I was able to begin my recovery from a terrible dental infection that spread across my lower jaw and teeth simply by visiting a doctor and sharing my symptoms and pain with him. His experience and training as a doctor made an accurate diagnosis and a concise prescription to aid me in full recovery.

What I want you to know is that Jesus of Nazareth, who is Christ The Lord, has announced over 2000 years ago that He has come for your impoverished soul, your broken heart, your miserable captivity, and your wretched imprisonment. This Jesus, Saviour of the World, accepts doctors visits, and his plan of redemption and restoration has open enrollment, 365 days of the year! His office is never closed, and all are welcomed, rich or poor, broken and needy.

You just simply and honestly need to share your symptoms and pain with Jesus. You see, Jesus is even Lord of Lords over all doctors and has greater clarity and insight than the world’s best diagnosticians. He is the perfect remedy for your condition.

You see, Jesus completely understands our hurts and pain because he, himself, is well acquainted and experienced with it.

Also, in the same book of Isaiah, chapter nine, verse six, we read:

“Unto us, a Son is given, And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

My prayer for you is that you make an appointment with Jesus Christ, share with him all that you’re suffering; seek his counsel, his Father-heart and allow him, as the Prince of Peace, to save your soul, heal your broken heart, rescue you from captivity and kick down your prison doors! After all, He is The Mighty God and everything, even doctors and governments, are upon his shoulders.

If you seek out Jesus, you too will begin your recovery and live as you’ve never lived before. If he can save souls, he can heal your brokenness and restore your life.

“Today, this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Merry Christmas, and a brand new Happy New Year!

The Minister’s Mistress – By Thomas Koester

Do Not Worship the Anointing or Fall in Love with Your ministry…

Do you remember the days when you desired to know God and abide in him? Well, this must exceed your desire to serve him and abide in your giftedness. Too many well-meaning men and women of God have been taken out by this mistake.

In simpler words, do not worship the anointing or fall in love with your calling.

God wants a man or a woman to chase after Him, rather than chasing after ministry.

Some might be tempted to say:

“You can take my calling and…,”

…well, you get the meaning. This too is self-worship and idolatry. They find out that this god-business is too much for them, and the energy of propping up a false pretense each week is exhausting. Duplicity, after all, is only fun until the real man becomes overpowered by the false man, and when you have lost your courage to be real.

The danger escalates when the ministry becomes your mistress and you believe all that flattery stuff.

If you have to, take a vacation and pursue your First Love, until you’ve become captivated with the Lover of your soul. Otherwise, what you call “light,” will become darkness; for then, how great will your darkness be! Matt. 6:23

To be known by God, and for you to intimately know his ways and his heart for you, is your antidote against self-delusion and ministry worship. In other words, check yourself before you wreck yourself and your family. Stay humble by being transparent and honest with a few good men.

Better to be known by your true humility then to be praised by thousands for your many talents and earthshaking ministry.

Abase yourselves, even in front of your congregation, so that God’s people may know the way to true greatness, that is, through your true humility. I have seen it happen, and it is beautiful!

It may be that you suffer from a lack of humanness. You know, your super-saint persona, how others perceive you in public may not match how you act in private. Maintaining a glittering image is costly, because it robs you of brokenness and being approachable. This is one of the reasons why so many pastors and ministers suffer from loneliness.

Only you and God know how well you can fake it, well, maybe your wife too. But, all the while you can still bring God’s house down in applause, even with unconfessed sin in your heart, the anointing still flows. (And that’s pretty scary stuff.) But, if you’re not going to be true, but just sit there with your mouth opened and your heart hardened; then it will be your own house, which will be brought down, and how terrible its fall will be!

Those that worship worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. Jonah 2:8

Don’t forfeit God’s grace because of pride, trust in Him — in do time, He will lift you up. He is near the brokenhearted and will surely hear your cry for help.

“The LORD is near the brokenhearted; He saves those crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Repent now, and not later. Fall into grace or fall into hell. Decide now, while you still have a choice. I guarantee people will follow you to either place — after all, you are the Pastor!

Break your love affair with ministry and become true to the Lover of your soul again.

Your greatest identity is not “Pastor,” but God’s beloved son. “For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve.” Maybe you’ve forgotten that. Maybe, at some point, and in some way, you stepped into the role as messiah and went straight into giving your life as a ransom for many.

The acclaim and burden is too much for you — it’s time to stop this and save your heart and soul. It belongs to God.

End the affair now. Better you decide before God does.

The Greatness of God Is Your Greatest Strength – By Thomas Koester

While your suffering is sacred before God, He is greater than what you suffer.

God’s faithfulness is Greater than our faithlessness.

‘“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”

Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided —“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!'” Thomas Chisholm – 1925

For the believer (one who responds in faith and obedience to God’s purpose and will), there is no circumstance, trial, hardship, sickness, disease or even death, whereby it touches us or even comes near us that is not so ordered by God, and which has been planned before our very existence.

In other words, God is never surprised; never taken off guard, thwarted, undermined nor defeated in any event, good or bad in or about our lives. He cannot be manipulated, coerced, threatened or successfully conspired against, by any force, any power, whether invisible or seen; in earth or space, in past or present, whether by gods, demons, angels or men. Simply, God has no “plan B” and absolutely no competitor, period, end of story!

Otherwise my dear brothers and sisters, He would not be God and certainly not worthy of our praise or our worship, our trust and our salvation!

So if you think you know God then kill god, for the god you think you know, is not the God who Is, but a god of your finite imagination. For the God who Is, is far greater and infinite than anything, or anyone, or that any power can imagine, create or conjure.

Whether your faith is tiny or great, new or old, it can never define our God, but only give you the slightest glimpses into a fraction of His infinite greatness and unknowable person and unending character.

Now compare our Great God, with your worst day, most deadly disease, and most grievous loss. They are all trivial to God. God loves a stacked deck against himself and you. Why? Because our God loves to come through! He is The Overcomer from ancient of days and until the death of this planet and beyond.

Our belief and faith in the One True God changes absolutely everything. If it does not bring change in your life, mind and heart, then you’ve not seen Him nor encountered the True Living, Eternal God. He’s only a prayer away and the those of the smallest inkling of the smallest faith shall find Him.

Just because you can lift your hand towards the sun and block out its incomparable brightness with your little thumb, changes not the sun, nor its power and existence, it’s only your perception which changes. Our sicknesses, diseases, problems, marriages, betrayals and all manner of challenges, trials and losses, they’re all like your little thumb, which may block out God’s incomparable greatness, but can only change your perception and not the reality of God.

Nothing changes God. Let me repeat that; “NOTHING CHANGES GOD!” He is changeless, unstoppable and immoveable and, “…is the same yesterday, today and forever.”

So, move your little thumb away from your eye, and all your problems too, and allow them to be consumed in the bigness and greatness of our God who allowed all your problems in the first place. He’s just training you to trust him and causing all these things to produce a harvest of righteousness in and through your life.

You see, your suffering is sacred before God, just as Jesus’ suffering was sacred before His Father. Because of the humility and suffering of Jesus, we have access to God and have a sympathetic and understanding Saviour.

If you want a relationship with God, well, no person can come to the Father, except through the Son, that is Jesus Christ The Lamb of God.

Just believe in Him and you’ll have the Father also, and He’s no deadbeat Dad, He is God Almighty and The Great God of Heaven and Earth. His greatness is your greatest strength!

The Barbarism of The Democratic Left – By Thomas Koester

Evil has now openly taken up residence in the Democratic Party. Interesting, as they openly promote infanticide they are openly removing all evidence of God from their Party and platform. Also, this is to placate the Left’s new ally, Islamic Extremists and Jihad against Christians, Jews and freedom loving Patriots.

“The Enemy of my enemy is my friend,” has become the beckoning cry of the Democratic Left in their alliances with Islamic Extremists in order to destroy conservativism, capitalism and religious liberty.

The Third Reich of Nazi Germany allied with Islamic Extremists as they both shared hatred for Jews. Only 70 years later, the Evil Axis are at it again!

They believe that their inevitable barbarism justifies their means to the end result of Socialism and ultimately Communism. They are also using the Corporate Left’s market control over all Americans to usher in dictatorial rule over our ability to communicate freely and openly. Including our ability to buy and sell.

If you do not take a stand today, and especially during the 2020 Elections, you’ll fall for anything, including slavery and barbarism.

If you don’t believe me, just listen to the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, and their party leaders, such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

If you call yourself Christian, Jew, or Patriot and you do not leave the Democratic Party of Godless barbarism then you’ve rejected The God of Heaven and your Faith also.

“No one can serve two masters,” said Jesus of Nazareth, “…either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches!” Matthew 6:24

“Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”

Have the courage to walkway from the Party of death and destruction. Just walkway from the Democrats.

Below is an interesting photograph during the 1940s of the Palestinian leader, Haj Amin al-Husseini having a conversation with Adolf Hitler.
