NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION

Today I ask you to get your bibles and study along with me so we are on the 
same page in Christianity. I'm going to begin with basic truths written in scripture that 
MUST be our cornerstone if we are to be true, committed Christians. There can be no 
compromise with these verses of scripture or you are not a committed Christian. I will 
be writing about another apostate international movement as soon as we agree on 
scriptural ground rules. All these apostate movements have the backing of American 
preachers, most of whom pastor very large churches across our nation.
       Basic ground rules are a Christian must truly believe the Christian bible is the 
Word of God; you must believe the teaching of Christ (especially dealing with the 
end times); you must have committed yourself to Christ, and you must
believe completely in the contents of the bible. I will give you the verses of scripture 
that deal with these requirements. There can be no compromise with these verses.
      John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and 
the Word was God." Matt.24:4-8, "And Jesus said and answered to them: Take 
heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name , saying, I am the 
Christ,' and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See 
that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not 
yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will 
be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All
these are the beginning of sorrows."
      John 10:9 "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will 
go in and out and find pasture." Matt. 10:32, "Therefore whoever confesses Me 
before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." There are 
other places in scripture that tell us the same information I have quoted. We have 
ample references, so there should be no doubt.
      There can be NO COMPROMISE with the final verses of scripture, and this is 
where all these apostate organizations refuse to obey. Make certain you 
understand these verses, because the penalty for not following them will cost you the 
"take aways". Rev. 22:18,19, "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the 
prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the 
plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of 
the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from 
the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
      Any revisionist or person claiming to "know" more about God's Word and/or 
scripture, is forever LOST. They may claim they accepted Christ and received 
salvation, but they are lying. When you accept Christ as your Savior, you accept all 
of Him and God's Word. No mortal man has ever known more than God, and if 
you follow any revisionist teaching, YOU are lost. You can't serve God and Christ. 
and at the same time serve a preacher who disagrees with scripture.
      I want you to look at some more scripture before we begin "outing" this latest 
revisionist. Check out II Thes. 2:3,4, "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that 
day will not come unless the FALLING AWAY comes first, and the man of sin is 
revealed, the son of perdition. who opposes and exalts himself above all that
is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God. 
showing himself that he is God." We are in an era where falling away is rapidly 
separating committed believers from professing believers. Just professing  salvation 
will not keep you from suffering the tribulation. REMEMBER this: just professing 
salvation will not earn you rapture. Salvation is free, but committed
Christians are expected to do works as God has provided gifts to everyone. Check 
scripture that quotes "faith without works is dead".
      Now we get to the part that separates reading the bible from studying the 
bible. As one man said, "What's to study?" The bible contains so much 
comprehensive writing that single verses usually should lead you to look for much 
more. The major problem with our Congress is that many claim to be Christians and 
use bible quotes to make them seem superior. Most often they don't have the 
slightest idea of the real meaning of scripture and
they are totally ignorant of the bible's teaching. This is not an attack on any 
particular party. When you hear them say "the bible tells us", be wary. They 
probably don't know what they're talking about.
      Here's a recent example of a "Christian's" understanding of scripture. Three 
Republican members of the House prayed in the chapel before the vote on 
increasing the debt limit. (I can give you names if you want) One read from 
scripture, Proverbs 22:7, "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant 
to the lender." Based on this single verse, this congressman told his
two companions this meant they needed to vote for"restructuring" the debt. This, of 
course includes the cuts to government programs that care for the poor and 
handicapped. If he had read a bit more of Chapter 22, he would have seen verse 
9, "He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the 
poor." When Christ went to the temple and found money lenders
("bankers") operating there, He threw them out. Note it was bankers that were 
thrown out, not the people who came to offer sacrifice.
       I hear presidential candidate after presidential candidate tell us about their 
personal connection to God, and how He has told them to do something, such as run 
for president. I don't believe any of them could pass a simple test of bible 
knowledge. They live in the carnal world of man, and if they are saved Christians,
in my humble opinion from what they do and say, they are professing Christians, 
carnal Christians. What do I base my opinion on? Scripture that says it is easier for a 
camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to go to heaven
(Matt. 19:24). Look at Luke 16:19-31. There is nothing wrong with material things, 
but the desire to hoard money on the backs of the poorest people is a sin that will 
keep you out of passage through the rapture. I could give you much more, but I 
imagine you already want to hit delete. Money affects people that way. BTW, why 
wasn't a word said about all the millions of taxpayer dollars
that are sent each year to foreign countries, most of whom hate us? Are these 
non-taxpaying foreigners superior to our citizens? Why social security cuts that  are 
in no way any entitlement. You have to have worked and paid by law for these 
savings. Our congressmen and women don't have any grasp of reality.
       If you're still with me, we will begin our exploration of the New Apostolic 
Reformation. This is a relatively new international organization that has really taken 
hold in a short time, although it really didn't jump to prominence until some big time 
preachers in America embraced it. First, remember this about the organization: IT 
NOT ONLY DOES NOT FOLLOW THE BIBLE; IT PROVIDES
A WORLDWIDE PLAN TO CONTROL EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING. This is 
another version of control that parallels the Muslim plan for a Caliphate to control 
the world, except it is a Christian plan. People have short memories about these 
things, partly because those who oppose this type of oppression are
killed. We are talking about a THEOCRACY here, and that has nothing to do with a 
democracy or republic. Most Arab nations are theocracies.
      Why is a Christian theocracy a bad idea? Lots of reasons--think Inquisition for 
one. But, let's continue to see some of the beliefs of the NAR. They teach that 
members can have God-like apostolic powers and prophetic abilities. In other 
words, God talks to them and gives them specific directions. Some claim they
have the same powers as the Apostles. God may talk to people upon occasion, but 
this is rare. Few people believe this ever happens, and cite the number of mentally 
disturbed people who make this claim.
      God is not a God of confusion. He is a God of truth and orderliness. Want 
proof? See Joshua 5:14. Check out Revelation 19:11-21. I hear that many of the 
candidates for president say they are seeking the nomination because they had a 
word from God, and He told them to vie for the nomination. This is a matter
of confusion, because God wouldn't likely tell several people to seek the position. 
God WILL choose who He wants to be the candidate, and the choice will be to fit 
His plan, not the will of people. His choice may be to strengthen our nation, or it may 
be to permit our country to pay the price of disobedience to His Word.
      There are some people who have been with NAR since its early years, and they 
claim the Apostolic powers. They are much like medicine men, who perform acts of 
mysticism or magic. One such NAR apostle has worked with one of the presidential 
candidates for many years. A witch hunter (doctor) in Kenya actually anointed one 
of the candidates in Kenya--it was not Obama. Not all candidates have bought in to 
this movement, but most have. Obama's departure from real Christianity must have 
occurred during the lengthy time he spent in that church led by a minister who 
preached against America and everything the
country strands for. Although you may think I'm biased against the Tea Party or 
Republicans, you see I only write the truth. All must share the blame.
      The NAR plan is quite parallel to God's plan, but it eventually leads to 
conditions that deny the freedoms we have, creating a theocracy ruled by laws as 
strict as those of the Muslim's sharia law. There can be only one thought, and that is 
the law of NAR. Attempts at this kind of law have already been made in the past 
six months--an Arkansas town council that proposed a gag on residents and no 
assembly by citizens. Changing rules to permit
appointed leaders to carry out the duties of elected officials, and many more.
      This movement mimics scripture, and bases its attack on principals it calls the 
Seven Mountains. Rome is located on the Seven Hills, and the number itself has many 
biblical connections, such as the seven days of creation. NAR also lists seven areas 
they will come to control:   business, government, media, arts and entertainment, 
education, family and religion. More on this later.
      There has never been a one party government in the history of the world that 
was either fair, just, or  evenly ruled. They all became dictatorships. Only when God 
charged prophets to call the shots did justice reign. The NAR has organized well, 
with three layers of spiritual warfare. These are the Ground, Occult and Strategic 
levels. Like Satan's plan, they will attempt to take full
control of territorial principalities--communities, ethnic groups, religions and nations. 
This is parallel to the Muslim movement, including Chrislam. Committed Christians 
should note the warning given by the middle layer of NAR warfare--occult. This has 
no place in Christianity. The FALLING AWAY is sweeping up millions who don't know
or understand scripture. These people are REVISIONISTS--they are denying Rev. 22:
18 and 19. If you
don't study scripture, the consequences are brutal.

Prophecy V

We've been talking about "falling away", a period of time that 
professing Christians will be departing from the Word of God. First of all, 
we must consider the difference between professing and committed 
Christians. There are many more professing Christians than committed 
Christians. Going to church regularly, tithing large sums and supporting 
conservative moral issues do not make you a committed Christian. You 
may be very serious about these intentions, which is good. This, 
however, is not good enough.
       You must be a committed Christian. This requires that you place 
yourself in the hands of Christ. When you make the commitment, you 
enter a new life and school. Yes, I said school. Because now you are 
expected to learn and understand the teaching of your mentor, Christ. 
You can only hope to fill this obligation by studying and learning 
scripture, the very Word of God, which is God. Listening to sermons (or 
reading them) is not enough. You must gain knowledge. You CAN
gain knowledge if you accept the challenge.
       We have previously outlined Chrislam, one of the ways Satan is using 
to cause a big falling away. This new religion combines Christianity, 
Christ the Son, His sacrificial death as the path to heaven, and 
resurrection, with Islam. Islam recognizes Christ only as a teacher, does 
not believe Christ is the path to heaven, and does not tell about the 
Koran's teaching of how Infidels (non Muslims) are to be treated
(become a Muslim or die)!
        Islam's god is not the god of Christianity. His name is Allah. This 
relationship goes all the way back to Genesis, where it is prophesied 
(Gen. 16:12) "He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every 
man," This was the Angel of the Lord speaking to Hagar, the Egyptian 
maid serving Sarai. She had borne Abram a son, and was banished into 
the wilderness. The son's name was Ishmael. This was the foundation
of the Arab world.
       Some Christians are being fooled into thinking the two diverse 
religions can be joined into one, thus giving us world peace. You don't 
even have to study scripture to see that isn't working. How can 
Christians be so easily fooled? Yet, several well recognized church 
leaders have already established this bastard religion.
       Then, we recall a previous message where a branch of the Lutheran 
church is rewriting scripture. It's difficult to believe a Lutheran can 
ignore Revelation 22:18-19 that warns against adding to or taking away 
anything from scripture. They have, however, and have split the church.
       So far, this has been a review of some of the reasons we are being 
judged, and how Christians will be split for the rapture. Your ticket must 
state "committed", and you must be a diligent student of scripture. 
There is a master plan by Allah to speed America on the way to 
tribulation. This plan was not well put together the first time around, and 
the Muslims were thrown back in A.D. 732 by the French king, Charles
Martel, after they had crossed into Europe at Gibraltar. They had already 
conquered the Middle East and North Africa.
       The new plan is much better, and we need to understand some new 
words to advance the plan. The Muslims intend to establish a 
"caliphate", which will be a one world order. A caliphate is a dominion 
over a widespread area--in other words,  control over a vast amount of 
land and peoples. To do this, they have to take control of the Muslim 
dominated countries, and then move on to countries with substantial 
Muslims, but not under Muslim control.
       The original boundary of this caliphate will extend from Indonesia 
and the Philippines, Asia (from Pakistan westward), across northern 
Africa, and any area where the radical Muslims can impose control. You 
see today the upheaval in so many countries within this boundary. All will 
eventually become part of this caliphate which will dominate the entire 
world. They rule by fear and force. As history tells us, they have always 
plundered everywhere they've gone.
       Heading up this giant conglomeration of Muslim countries will be a 
"caliph", the one leader of all, and possibly the anti-christ. They will 
extend the Sharia Law. This isn't my fantasy, but exactly what an 
American industrialist, one of the world's largest and leading 
industrialists has forecast. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, he outlined 
the Muslim goal after spending time visiting foreign countries.
       You see that Chislam is one of the ways our corrupt church leaders 
are playing their role in bringing supposed Christians under Muslim 
influence. It's happening right now in Houston, Seattle, Michigan and 
Georgia. Some mega church leaders have regular church services 
drawing hundreds of thousands of people. Apparently none of these 
church goers read scripture. Maybe they profess Christ, but they
surely are not committed. They face an interesting tribulation.
       To perhaps help you understand professing and committed, words 
from Paul in 1 Corinthians may help. Paul describes the three types of 
man's nature. They are essentially the same as my explanation except 
that Paul included the natural man in his description. The natural man is 
not saved and thus unchanged spiritually. 1 Cor. 2:9 describes the 
natural man, "But it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have 
entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for 
those who love Him"
       The professing Christian is described as a carnal man. He is one who 
has  received the Word, but has not been able to pass from the "milk" 
stage in his Christian walk. He has not listened to the teaching of the 
Holy Spirit, and has relied on learning the "wisdom" of the world. Note 
how important that word "listening" is. The carnal man is easily swayed 
by worldly things, including a tendency to sin when tempted hard 
enough.
       The committed Cristian is the spiritual man, who follows the 
guidance of the Holy Spirit, and is able to resist the worldly temptations. 
There is one damaging factor to the carnal man. He may actually not 
know the difference between spiritual guidance and a worldly 
conclusion. Is he listening to the Holy Spirit, or worldly "wisdom"? The 
rapture is for the spiritual man. Make certain you are listening to the Holy 
Spirit!

The Search For God V

In the preceding four sermons we have found several ways God has searched
for and found mankind. This has included controversial subjects such as abortion.
To conduct a Godly search for an answer, it is necessary to rid your mind of its
carnal nature. In short, your mind must be free of your thoughts or opinions. This
is not an easy situation, because most of us think we know much more than we
actually do. Without an open mind, we do not receive God's messages.
       This sermon's dealing with search is to assist you in understanding scripture
as well as pointing out how we often get on the wrong track by not thinking out
what we read. There is a difference between a "talk" or talking and a "sermon".
A sermon usually addresses specific information and is a form of teaching, while
talking is merely communication about any subject. Thus, in studying scripture
or exploring a sermon, you should be looking for new knowledge.
        Sometimes in our zeal to "help" God, we take it upon ourselves to make 
decisions and do things we truly "believe" will help Him accomplish something. This 
is an attempt on our part to do something good. This is a bad decision, because God
doesn't need any help, and our lack of understanding or failure to follow scripture
will have negative results.
       We shall see how this works out in Exodus 18. Here, we are about to see a
joyful family reunion. Jethro, the priest of the Midianites and Moses' father-in-law,
has heard of the Israelites' freedom from Egypt. Moses tells Jethro of the miracles
enabling their escape. Moses' wife and two sons have been with Jethro while
Moses was back in Egypt. Jethro and Moses had a loving relationship, and the
entire family will now meet to celebrate God's blessings. Although not an Israelite,
Jethro worships the God of Israel.
       Exodus 18:13 tells us "And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge
the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening. (V14)
So when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, 'What is
this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the
people stand before you from morning until evening?'"
       Exodus 18:15,16, "And Moses said to his father-in-law, 'Because the people
come to me to inquire of God. When they have a difficulty, they come to me,
and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God
and His laws.'" Jethro was astounded at the tremendous workload that Moses
was undertaking.
        Jethro really cares for Moses, and believes he can lighten the daily burden 
placed on Moses. So, (Exodus 18:17-20), Jethro told Moses , "The thing that you 
do is not good. Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear 
yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by 
yourself. Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: 
stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. And 
you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they 
must walk and the work they must do,"
       To man, this seems like a good idea. The people will be taught the laws and 
things of righteousness and wisdom. There are two serious flaws in man's thinking. 
The first is to assume Moses can't handle the workload. The second is changes like 
this MUST be initiated by God, not man. If you recall, going all the way back to 
Israel's desire for a human king, these wishes by mankind have brought nothing but 
misery.
       You see, even when we want to do good things, we must not forget to think 
about what god has planned, and LISTEN to what He tells us. We are to be the 
listeners, and He is the speaker. We are not to rush into solutions. Remember, we 
are under God's wings because He found a listener and chose His people. It is not 
because anyone found God, but because He found us.
       In verse 21, we find Jethro telling Moses "Moreover you shall select from all 
the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place 
such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and 
rulers of tens. (V22) And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that 
every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves 
shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you."
       Verse 23 tells us "If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will 
be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace." Jethro 
truly believes he is helping Moses. Neither have considered that God has all the 
wisdom, and if Moses needed help, God would have arranged it. In other words, 
they jumped into the pool without measuring the water. Note, and note well, that 
when God leads, things go well, even if it appears we are struggling. Without 
listening to Him, we let ourselves open to disaster.
       You see how easy it is for us to assume we understand the situation, and how 
we use our reasoning to apparently solve a problem. Did you ever think that the 
problem or situation was too complex for God, or that He didn't know what was 
going on? We rush to judgment that we can handle it, and forget to consult God, the 
master planner.
         We forget to pray about it, since we think we have the solution. If we do pray 
about it, we usually do not wait for His answer. We already believe we know the 
answer to the situation. When we pray, we expect God to confirm OUR solution. 
You see, we are not LISTENING, we are telling Him. God does not necessarily 
respond in an instant because He knows everything about the situation, and He may 
not be ready for you or anyone to proceed immediately. You must listen for His 
instruction.
       So, you ask, Jethro's solution seemed to work, why question it? Folks, it's kind 
of like eating too much dessert. It feels great at first, but later you have a problem 
with your indulgence.
       The workload for Moses was reduced. But God spoke directly only to Moses, 
so the other judges had to use the wisdom of the world. Worse yet, an organization 
was created. A man-made mistake. From this organization of judges came an 
organization of the seventy, known to us as the Sanhedrin. About 1500 years after 
the appointment of judges, the Sanhedrin plotted the death of Jesus, the Son of God. 
What may seem good to us today, may have grave consequences in the future.
       Remember 1 Cor. 3:18-19, God says, "Let no man deceive himself. If any man 
among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be 
wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He 
taketh the wise in their own craftiness."
       Now that God has found you, your search for Him becomes your obligation to 
listen to Him as He guides you through life and problems. We need patience, study 
and worship. We must not make the mistake Jethro made, even though it may seem
good to us.
