STAR WARS IS ANTI-CHRIST (The Devil's Tool to Steal the Hearts of Christians)





STAR WARS IS ANTI-CHRIST


(The Devil's Tool to Steal the Hearts of Christians)


||  STAR WARS CONTRADICTS
THE BIBLE AND IS ANTI-CHRIST  ||



Released to the world in 1977, Star Wars became a powerful phenomenon which drew millions of people into its profound influence. But, its power to captivate the minds, imaginations, and hearts of countless millions of people is not something that can be lightly ignored. Christians need to be aware of the messages and themes in Star Wars, especially since the Bible warned us about deceivers and evil people who would conduct amazing signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, God's people. 

The darkness in our world is increasing. We must be vigilant, as Christians, to watch and pray ... that is we need to know what God would show us personally and to pray as God leads us by His Holy Spirit. In the dark waters of this world, we need God's Holy Spirit and His Holy Bible to guide us when we consider the popular things in our culture and world.


-- “The Force” Is a Term Witches Use.
(for the Occultic Power They Possess or Think They Possess)


After leaving witchcraft, the late David J. Meyer became a believer in Jesus Christ.
Years after his conversion, David J. Meyer said this in an online article:

‘When real witches have sabats and esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by saying "Blessed be", and when they part, they say "The Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan. It is not a good side of the force that overcomes the bad side of the force, but rather it’s the blood of Jesus Christ that destroys both supposed sides of the satanic "Force."’ (Meyer) (Emphasis added) [End quote] (See the Works Cited.)

Likewise, in Star Wars, “the Force” has a “dark side” and a “light side”. Luke Skywalker uses the “good side” of the Force to battle Darth Vader who uses the “dark side” of the Force. “White” witches use what they call “white magic,” and wizards in the dark arts use “black magic”.

Magic (also known as “magick”) is sorcery and witchcraft. The Bible has this to say about such practices…

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (emphasis added)

“[9] When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.” [End quote] [Underlining / Bold font added] 



-- Levitation Is Used in Witchcraft and Star Wars.


From Merriam-Webster.com, we have this definition for levitation:

The Profound Love of God for Us and How Only Jesus Christ Satisfies Us



The Profound Love of God for Us
and How Only Jesus Christ Satisfies Us

Philippians chapter 4, verse 1 reveals a profound truth about God’s love for us, which God put into the heart of Paul for the church at Philippi.

Philippians 4:1 --  “[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” [End quote]

In Philippians 1:8, Paul wrote this:

Philippians 1:8 -- “[8] For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.[End quote]        

{Note: Paul longed after them in the nature of the deep, compassionate, yearning love of Jesus Christ. (Bowels refers to deep love, yearning, earnest desire, deep feelings). Jesus Christ and God the Father have this deep, yearning love and compassion, and deep feeling for the Church and for the whole world. See John 17:23.}

Paul, who was once called Saul, was a former persecutor of Christians before he had a powerful vision from Jesus, revealing His love and truth and that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God.  Shortly that vision, Paul became a born-again Christian and began preaching the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles. He was transformed from a zealous Pharisee who sought to imprison and stop Christians from spreading the Gospel to a godly man who preached the very Gospel he once despised.

So, when Paul wrote to the Philippian Christians calling them “… my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown,”, he was speaking from the heart of Jesus, who gave Paul that love for the Church. It is the same type of love that Jesus has for the Church, which is His Bride. We are dearly loved by Abba Father God. He longs for us and He considers us to be His joy and crown.

In Isaiah 62, God calls the believers (Jews and Gentiles who believe on Jesus, the Messiah) His crown, His delight, and His Bride who He rejoices over.

Isaiah 62:3-5 says:  “[3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. [4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken ; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate : but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah : for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. [5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee : and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” [End quote]

[Hephzibah: ‘my delight is in her’.] [Beulah: ‘married’.]

Isaiah 62:11-12 says: “[11] Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh ; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [12] And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord : and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” [End quote]

Again, look at what the Holy Spirit had Paul write.

Philippians 4:1 --  “[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” [End quote]

Imagine if Jesus said these words. And, He really did. Jesus said the above message through Paul. And, not only does Jesus and Abba God love us, but God also gives us fullness of joy right now. All we need to do is just believe, and seek to know, and desire to know God intimately as a Friend and Abba Father.


Having True Joy in Jesus


We give some verses, below, about true joy, which found only in Jesus Christ. This joy is received by simple faith and by desiring to know Jesus Christ.

Psalm 16:11 says: “Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

HOW TO HAVE FULLNESS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS IN JESUS



HOW TO HAVE FULLNESS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS IN JESUS

{A Revelation of Who Jesus Is (He Only is Eternal Life and Joy)}

{Click here to see the printable PDF file.}

This article will show how Jesus Christ is God the Son, and He is Life and Joy. Having fullness of joy is having one’s focus and love on Jesus and not on idols. Getting rid of idols and walking in intimate fellowship with God is by following the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:4) and seeking to have a deep, intimate relationship with Abba Father God (Romans 8:15 and 1 John 1) and Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son. Single-mindedness toward Jesus casts out darkness and brings in light (Matthew 6:22).

None of this is performing for God’s love and blessings (Romans 4). It is simply resting, and seeking and desiring to know God intimately, and following the Holy Spirit. All of God’s blessings, friendship with God, and promises are freely given to us believers (Romans 8:32). Meditating on who God is and thirsting after God brings satisfaction and joy, as Psalm 63 says.

We will give bullet points with Bible verses, below. Part 2 in this article speaks of how to walk by the leading of the Holy Spirit and not perform or do works to try to earn things. All we need in God is freely given to us believers. Following the Holy Spirit mortifies (puts to death) the flesh, and blesses us, and furthers God’s Kingdom on earth.



  •    (1.) Jesus Completely Satisfies us in Himself. Jesus Lives in us Believers.

JOHN 6:35 -- “[35] And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life : he that cometh
to me shall never hunger ; and he that believeth on me shall never
Thirst.”

NOTES on ISAIAH 55:1-4 (The cry of Jesus in John 7 and Isaiah 55. Living Water that Satisfies the Soul)

NOTES on ISAIAH 55:1-4 

(The cry of Jesus in Isaiah 55. 

Living Water that Satisfies the Soul) 


Isaiah 55:1-4 

“[1] Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money ; come ye, buy, and eat ; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

[2] Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread ? and your labor for that which satisfieth not ? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

[3] Incline your ear, and come unto me : hear, and your soul shall live ; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

[4] Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.” [End quote]


Some Notes on the above passage from Isaiah 55 


 ➽ Verse 1 notes. Come to Jesus who gives the water of life freely. There is no price for His gift of the Holy Spirit, Who meets all our needs, both Spiritual and otherwise.


 ➽ Verse 2 notes. Why do people look to things which do not satisfy their souls and spirits? We need to diligently listen to and heed what Abba Father God says in His Word and to our spirits. Let us eat of what God gives us so that we will be filled with God and His goodness. In doing so, we will be satisfied. His goodness is an abundance. Let us delight (take great pleasure) in God’s Spirit, Who is abundant and life-giving. (Note: Fatness is abundance, in the King James Bible.) In John 7:37-39, Jesus said:


[John 7:37-39]

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive : for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”


Jesus also said this in response to the Samaritan woman:


[John 4:10]

“[10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink ; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

So, this is a gift. Abba Father God’s favor, and His Holy Spirit’s life-giving, satisfying Presence, and His blessings to us are not earned. They are a gift received by simply trusting in Jesus. In John 4:13-14, Jesus said this:

“[13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again : [14] but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”



➽ Verse 3 notes. Don’t look to people or things for getting your needs met. Come to Jesus and listen to Him and His Word. Your soul shall not be dead but shall be alive, and full, and joyful, and satisfied. God has made an everlasting covenant with all who trust in the Name of Jesus Christ. That is the New Testament covenant. Abba Father God’s mercies are sure, and certain, and trustworthy. (They are new every morning. Great is God’s faithfulness.)


➽ Verse 4 notes. Jesus Christ is the faithful and true witness, and He is our Leader and King and Shepherd. Jesus will guard us, and protect us, and provide for us. (King David typified Jesus.) Psalm 121 speaks of the nature of Abba Father God, who is just like Jesus Christ, our Shepherd.

Psalm 121 says:

“[1] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [2] My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. [3] He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : he that keepeth thee will not slumber. [4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. [5] The Lord is thy keeper : the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. [6] The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. [7] The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : he shall preserve thy soul. [8] The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”


(In John 14, Jesus Christ said, in essence, that when people see Him, they have seen Abba Father God manifesting in Jesus. Jesus is the express image of the Father, as Hebrews 1:3 says. Jesus perfectly represents the Father. And Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and God the Father are One God.)

Jesus, in John 14:7, said: “[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”

Jesus said this in John 14:10: “[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me ? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself : but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”


Abba Father God told me these words (3-22-2019):

“My son, I am with you and I love you very much. I will show you that what I showed you in these verses was based on what I was showing you in John chapter 7, chapter 4, and elsewhere. I am the Living Water. I am the Bread of Life. I am the Water of Life. I give life to those who look to Me. I give joy, and fulfillment, and peace to all who look to Me. Rest in Me, look to Me, and you will do well. And, I love you very much. And, I the LORD your God and Abba Father have spoken.”

What the Bible Has to Say about Popular Entertainment



What the Bible Has to Say about Popular Entertainment
– Novels, Movies, TV Shows, Video Games


Numbers 33:51-52 – "[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; [52] then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places :"

Comment: God commanded the children of Israel to destroy all the graven images, and all the idols, and all the images of false gods depicted on walls. Today, in America, and around the world, movies, TV shows, and other videos display entertainment and steal time from God. Today, entertainment takes a huge amount of time out of people’s schedules. It is a god that people serve around the world.


Psalm 101:3 – "[3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes : I hate the work of them that turn aside ; it shall not cleave to me."

Comment: The psalmist declared that he would not look at anything beliyaal (i.e. evil, worthless, unprofitable, naughty, ungodly, or wicked). The Hebrew word, in this verse, for wicked is (Strong’s # 1100) beliyaal. It means: “… without profit, worthlessness; … wickedness … Belial, evil, naughty, ungodly …, wicked.” (From: Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.) If what we are watching or viewing is beliyaal, we must turn it off and repent.

How America Now Resembles the Aztec Empire


How America Now Resembles the Aztec Empire


There were different factors that brought about the end of the Aztec Empire. The foremost factor was their bloodshed culture. Thousands of innocent victims were murdered in human-sacrifice rituals to honor the gods of the Aztecs. Consequently, tribes which had lost family members to the murderous Aztec religion were willing to assist Hernán Cortés in fighting their oppressive overlords. With the assistance of the disgruntled native people, Cortés was able to bring a quick end to the Aztec Empire.

In this article, we will see how America is following, to some degree, in the footsteps of the Aztecs. That may sound very strange to you, but please bear with me as we examine some factors that led to the demise of the Aztec Empire. We will attempt to show how these are related to America.

HOW THE WORLD IS NOT OVERPOPULATED



HOW THE WORLD IS NOT OVERPOPULATED


Aging Population

Mercer, the largest human-resources consulting firm in the world, has declared that the “… UK FACES SEVERE WORKFORCE CRISIS BY 2025”. Mercer has stated on its website that there will be “… a perfect storm of falling net migration driven by Brexit and an ageing population, will lead to a severe shortage in the UK labour market.” (Mercer) [End quote].

The labor force of the United Kingdom is going to decrease so much so that companies “… will face significant costs trying to attract workers with the leadership and skills….” (See “Mercer” in the Works Cited section.) [End quote]. The lack of working age people is due to the fact that UK citizens have had very few children compared to past generations. Fewer working age people means less money to go into the economy and into the social security system. This is a big problem for Britain. But, it’s also a problem for many countries in the world.
