This question ponders the minds of many Christians, as they reflect and wonder if keeping the law is a requirement. We know the Ten Commandments reflect his eternal, moral foundation applicable at all times and we must follow them. We are not, however, justified by keeping or the law, so it us not something that has to be followed.
 
Galatians 3:11 says " But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith."
 
We shall our lives by faith, and model Godly statues, because following the Law will not mean that you will enter the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if its your personal decision and choice to keep the law of the old testament, please remember that you must obey and fulfill all requirements of the law(James 2:10-11).
 
Seeing in the days of old how many prophets and other Christians could not keep the law, this is one of the main reasons why Jesus paid the price and died for us! He knows that we are born sinners and without him, we cannot fulfill all of the requirements of the law, nor do anything which is why we must thank God for his mercy and grace that he provides, even when we don't deserve it.
 
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
 
Also, in Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus spoke regarding the law-
 17. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 
18.For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19.Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 
 20.For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
 
As you can see, from the words of Jesus, when he died for us, he fulfilled and completed everything that needs to be done, which is why he also said, it is finished(John 19:30). Again, we can remember the law but we don't have to follow them today. Jesus paid the greatest price of all, and that is worth more than what any man could or can accomplish. The Pharisees were so focused on keeping the law, that they didn't even recognize Jesus when he was right in front of them, and didn't believe who he said he was.
 
Matthew 23:13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in."
 
In order to enter into the kingdom of Heaven, we MUST however, keep his commandments, turn from sin, be born again, have faith/believe to confess that Jesus is the great I am and died for us.
 
Matthew 18:3 "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of Heaven."
Romans 10:9 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Have a blessed & prosperous Week!~

The book of Job follows the story of a righteous man’s attempts to grapple with his intense and seemingly senseless suffering. Job was very wealthy, was married with 10 children and lived a victorious life. All of a sudden, everything was gone as a test and trial for Job to experience in a way he'd never imagined. All of his Children died and Job began to question God and wondered why this was happening,  especially because he served and honored God faithfully.
 
People may wonder why God allowed this to happen and why do bad things happen, but if you read the word from the beginning,  you will see that when Adam and Eve ate the bad fruit, curses were put on the land and so forth. Sometimes,  things happen out of the extraordinary because God may be preparing you for something greater and you must go through test and trials. Other times, it may be due to disobedience, sin, or turning away from God.
 
As Job was going through his season of a trial/test, he started to get tempted by Satan, friends and his Wife, who even told him to curse God and die. They wanted him to
 
turn from God and give up, but he stayed steadfast in God no matter what.(Job 3:1-10) Even when Job thought that he should die and started to become weary, he remained steadfast in God, and did not give in to the plans of the enemy.
 
Job 9:1-10
 
I know it is so of a truth: But how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? Which removeth the
 
mountains, and they know not: Which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, And the pillars thereof tremble. Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; And sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, And the chambers of the south. Which doeth great things past finding out; Yea, and wonders without number.
 
Finally, in chapter 38, God shows up and speaks to Job. But he doesn’t offer words of comfort or answers to his questions like we might
 
imagine. Instead, Job gets the equivalent of a parent’s “because I said so” when God says, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” 
 
Job humbles himself and acknowledges God’s sovereignty, proclaiming that he can do all things and that his purposes can’t be hindered. He understands that the Lord is the sovereign King of creation and that God was in control at the time. Job then says in Job 42:2–3: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
 
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” In God’s sovereignty, Job’s trials were meant to purify his faith and produce endurance in his character. God remained compassionate, merciful, and in control through the suffering. After seeking comfort and answers for forty-two chapters, Job finds the real source of comfort—not in having his questions answered, but in repenting for his doubts and trusting the Lord. God even doubles everything that Job lost in the beginning, and restored it to him. This is what we must remind
 
ourselves-even when things don't look how you want it to, or your plans are not going the way you planned it to, you must trust God fully in every situation.
 
Have a blessed and prosperous week!~

In the book of Daniel we will see the exiles under pressure to break God’s law (e.g. in chapters 3 and 6). In those situations, standing for God rather than going along with the world would result in a death penalty. Daniel stood for God no matter what, and stood in faith. Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys were able to complete a 10 day vegan fast, which allowed them to abstain from King Nebuchadnezzar's food. They received God's strength and the resilience needed to go further and also display the fruits of the spirit. 

Here, we can see that God is in control for the benefit of His people, and that with him, you can do all things(Philippians 4:13). In verse 17 we see that the Lord is providing for future events. The exiles are given knowledge and understanding that will mean that they can serve in Babylon. Further, Daniel is given the ability to interpret dreams. In a future chapter we will see that this ability will cause God’s people to be rescued from death, and cause Nebuchadnezzar to come to understand the gospel. Once again we see that God is in complete control. 

In the end, God was with Daniel and the Hebrew boys in the fire and they lived through the several years of exile. This is one of the many great books in the bible that exemplifies the strong faith that true believers/followers of Christ should have. Stand on his word, live out the Godly characteristics that he calls us to obtain, live out the purpose that he has called for you to do and increase your faith within him! (Hebrews 11:6)

As the protesting continues to unfold in Canada, we must understand the situation and reasoning behind the madness.  The demonstrators, which have included as many as 8,000 people at their peak, have terrorized Ottawa: blockading streets, harassing citizens, forcing business closures, and honking their extremely loud horns all night. Ottawa police, who have proven some combination of unwilling and unable to restore order, have even set up a special hotline to deal with a deluge of alleged hate crimes stemming from the protests. This is due to the fact that the Truckers are refusing to get the vaccine, which is being forced & mandated.  As discussed in my previous blog, I do believe that this vaccine is the test trial before the actual mark of the beast. It could also really be the abomination due to the signs that are constantly being presented, like the situation with the Truckers.
 
If there is really freedom, why don’t they have the right to choose rather they want to receive this vaccine or not? Why are some countries, and even some places in the United States, enforcing ridiculous fines that must be paid, until you receive this vaccine? The reason being is because there isn’t freedom on this earth, there isn’t peace on this earth due to the enemy falling here after he was kicked out of Heaven. He uses most government officials and publicans, to enforce certain rules and mandates, to push his agenda of deceiving, lying and stealing. Sadly, many people believe everything that they say and don’t even question or think outside of the box anymore. When they enforce some of these laws/directives, they are not looking out for our best interest, but rather, to control the population, so that people can do what they say or else. They also want to continue to push hatred in order to contribute towards the race war and other devilish agendas.
 
A few weeks after the protest, Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, or in other words, martial law. This was also invoked on the same day as the paganistic holiday valentine’s day. With the Emergencies Act, he proposed that if the Trucker’s didn’t stop protesting, they would:

• Seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it, or
• Seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada

 
The Federal Government will also continue to prohibit travel to and from the border, evacuate people and/or remove personal property and even enforce the disposition of the property. Its also not a coincidence that Martial law was enacted back in 1970 in Canada Trudeau’s Dad. This Is why I continue to encourage and inform people to draw closer to Christ every day and read the word, so you can learn of the true history. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) After gaining understanding, you will then gain Godly wisdom. Right now this is happening in Canada and next, it will occur in the United States, Germany, Italy & other places.

​Have a blessed & prosperous Godly-filled week!~

As we are approaching another holiday on 2/14/22, I want to discuss the paganism behind valentine’s day. In the early days of Rome, February was the month in which people celebrated Lupercalia, a festival honoring the birth of Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of the city. As Lupercalia evolved and time went on, it morphed into a festival honoring fertility and the coming of spring. Eligible men would draw a name and the couple would pair off for the rest of the festival, and sometimes even longer. This sounds very similar to what many recognize as “cupid” to symbolize love during valentine’s day today. As Christianity progressed into Rome, the practice was decried as Pagan and immoral, and done away with by Pope Gelasius around 500 C.E.

Around the same time that the love lottery was being eliminated, Gelasius changed the love lottery to a lottery of the Saints. Instead of pulling a pretty girl's name from the urn, young men pulled the name of a saint. The challenge for these men was to try to be more saint-like in the coming year, studying and learning about the messages of their individual saint. During this time, Gelasius also declared St. Valentine the patron saint of lovers, and his day was to be held every year on February 14. As valentine’ day began to progress over the years, giving out chocolate and valentines cards became popular as a way to define love towards your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend.

This is why its very important to understand and really research where a lot of these holidays originated from and how they started, because you may not know what you are really celebrating. The other holidays, like Easter and Christmas, also tie to pagan roots and in reality, do not glorify the Heavenly Father. With Easter, Bunnies are a leftover from the pagan festival of Eostre.” Hot cross buns are related to “Israelites baking sweet buns for an idol, and religious leaders trying to put a stop to it.” Eventually, “defiant cake-baking pagan women” were successful and a cross was added to the buns to Christianize them. Eostre is a Saxon word meaning a “goddess of the Saxons”, in honor of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover, so essentially, the people who lived at this time were worshipping a false God/Idol. They would also consider this time as a rebirth by invoking the Goddess of Spring and fertility.

Lastly, Christmas is followed with the tradition of gift giving and remembering how Jesus died for our sins, but why is it celebrated on 12/25? Why do we need a certain day to remember Jesus and how he died, when this is something that you should do every day. Also, the bible never said that Jesus was born on 12/25, so where did this day come from? The reason being is because before the arrival of Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many people rejoiced during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight. The churches at this time, chose December 25th in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival, so they would give gifts, drink, and perform fertility rituals underneath sprigs of mistletoe. Besides feasting, drinking, and exchanging gifts during Saturnalia, Romans also hung small metal ornaments on trees outside their homes and each of these little ornaments represented a god, either Saturn or the family’s personal patron saint. They also worshipped the false God Saint Nick, which represents Satan, who was a Bishop that would give gifts to the poor and little children. Sounds like the same type of celebrations that center around Christmas, today right?

In the bible, Jesus talks about not following human tradition or doing what the world does:

Colossians 2:8- “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”
Jeremiah 10:1- “Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus, says the Lord: Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, for the customs of the peoples are vanity.”
​
John 8:32- “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

With all of the news surrounding COVID and the omicron variant, protests and strange weather in divers’ places, we are truly in the last hour. Everything that God prophesied are coming to past. Matthew 24:29-31 says:
29: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.”
30: “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
31: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
 
Also, in Luke 21:11, it says “And great earthquakes shall be in divers’ places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.” Jesus will be returning one day, just as he said. We don’t know the time nor the hour, but we must live each day like he will, or like its our last. This means that we must stay guarded and rooted in the word of God, praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16) and by allowing God to fully use you for his purpose in this world, so that you won’t fall victim to the enemy’s schemes. Pay attention to the signs and don’t live in fear, which is what the enemy wants you to do, but walk in faith and trust in the almighty God. See, this life that we live in is only a pass through and it offers nothing but deception, sin and pleasure of the flesh, which are not of God. This is why we need God each and every day, so we can have the true freedom and peace that he provides, as well as his protection and covering (Psalm 56:3-4).
 
Also, while paying attention to the signs and understanding what God has said, in the last hour you will also have many deceivers and false prophets who are really being used by the enemy (Matthew 24:11). God even said that Satan will deceive many and appear as an angel of light, so this is why it’s even more important to understand the times we are living in currently and how detrimental this is. 2 Corinthians 11:14 “And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” This means that we must also, when praying, ask God for stronger discernment and wisdom, so that you can distinguish the difference between good and evil, and not be deceived by liars and heathens. On the news, they are constantly pushing fear down people’s throats, wanting you to believe the COVID numbers, which they tweak all the time, and constantly pay attention to all of the wrong things. Overall, these things are distractions and again, Jesus already told us what to pay attention to and what to look out for, in the end times.
 
Keep your eyes focused on God and pray about all things. In Revelations, it also speaks about the mark of the beast. In Revelations 13:16-18, it states
16: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:”
17: ““And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
18: ““Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
 
Now, I don’t believe that the current COVID vaccine is the mark, but I truly believe that it is the preparation/beginning stage for the mark that will come. When you take any COVID test, they stick the swab so far up your nose, all of the way in your forehead. Also, if you get a temperature check, they want to “scan” your forehead. Also, around the world in different countries, many are protesting against it, plus certain jobs are requiring you to get the vaccine shot or else you will be fired. Why is this so-called vaccine a requirement, to where a person doesn’t have a choice on rather, they take it or not? Why aren’t they doing this with the flu shot and pushing this particular vaccine down your throat? Again, they are doing this in order to prepare you for what’s to come and fall into the trap of the enemy’s scheme. Why do you also think there are constant food shortages and low inventory? When reading these scriptures as followed, you will see why. They are wanting to prepare you for the famine that will come upon this land, to where the only people that can buy or sell, are the ones who have taken the true mark of the beast, which is an abomination unto God.
 
Matthew 24: “7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places.”
Revelation 6:5 “When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
6: “Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages, [b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages, [d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
7: “When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8: “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”
 
Also, one of the ingredients in the vaccine is called Luciferase, which sounds like Lucifer. They are letting you know that Lucifer is behind everything that you are seeing regarding this planned COVID disease, which is the beginning of the end. Don’t fall victim to believing everything that you hear or see and monitor what you are allowing to enter in. Just like God also said, once you realize the truth, follow after him, and become a true Christian, many people will think you are crazy and call evil good. Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Be watchful, stay awake, discerning and pursue the kingdom of God and his righteousness because the adversary, the devil roars like a lion seeking who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) so that he can claim as many souls as possible. The narrow path leads to eternal life and only a few find it (Matthew 7:14).
 
Have a blessed & prosperous God-filled week! ~
