” My Covenant I will not break…”

January 15, 2011

In (Psalms 89:34) we read this word of God ” My Covenant I will not break, nor ALTER the word that has gone out of My lips”.  We can clearly see that God cannot and will not break the 10 Commandment Covenant made to His people. Even though His people continued to break their end of the deal , God has remained steadfast in honoring His part. Which means  that ALL of the 10 Commandments are still in force  and have not been “altered”.

Unfortunately the vast Christian empire says ” Yes, God did alter the Covenant. He replaced a spoken Commandment with another Commandment”. But when pressed and asked “where” does He say that His “new” Covenant has been changed in the Bible? Where is it said that EVEN ONE of the Covenant Commandments was changed?  They draw a blank.  They CANNOT produce ANYTHING to back up their belief. But unfortunately it really doesn’t matter to them because they would rather follow the crowd than to really study God’s word. The Bible says (Hosea 4:6) “My people perish for lack of knowledge, because they have rejected knowledge, I will also reject them…”

He goes on in Hosea to say  it  is because they have forgotten His “Law” that they perish. Should we also fail to study His word and Law? To take the chance in also perishing because we didn’t look up God’s word on all that we believe? To verify if certain doctrines are sound when compared to God’s word? IT IS IMPERATIVE WE SEARCH SCRIPTURE!

If we really study God’s word we’ll find that there was a “change” in the Old and NEW Covenant. But it wasn’t what was IN the Covenant. It was “where” the Covenant moved to. It went from tables of stone to our hearts and minds!( Heb.8:10)  THAT is the change. NOT ONE of the original Commandments was “altered”. If it had been then God is a liar. And ofcourse we can never accuse Him of this, God forbid!

How do we know God’s original 10 are still in force? There are TONS of scripture pointing to this but I’ll use my favorite (Psalms 111:7-8) “ALL His Commandments are sure, they stand fast forever and ever”  Now, think about this. This word of God was written centuries BEFORE our Lord came to earth. So it was said way before the time where many Christians say it was changed. So here again God word is lying if they did not stand forever and ever because ONE was changed ( Sabbath to Sunday). So one did not remain standing. You see how when we really believe God’s word, we become clear on His truths!

Some will say, “Rob, why are you dwelling so much on His Law?” I would answer that GOD HIMSELF  dwells on it!  In ( Rev. 11:19) we read ” And the temple of God which is in heaven WAS OPENED, and the ark of the COVENANT appeared IN HIS TEMPLE….”   Now look at that!  Right in the middle of the MOST HOLY PLACE is God’s Law– His Covenant with His people.  Do I need say more??

So I beseech all whom call themselves ” Christian” to study His word. And once you do, with humble heart, you’ll find that His word says in essence— OBEY, LOVE, FOLLOW  JESUS. But Jesus can’t be followed unless you are willing to OBEY His Law- Covenant. Sadly most don’t study and only follow the crowd.  May God be near to all who humble themselves and say ” Lord, I know nothing, teach me your word”  Then you can be SURE He will!   Amen.

Germany and Croatia now have Sunday laws, part II

December 30, 2010

They say history repeats itself. It is truly amazing how many people turn a blind eye to history, particularly the history of the Catholic church. Protestant churches have “blindly” followed the Catholic lead in Sunday worship. Even the stated Catholic postion in the past  has been to label the Protestants “followers” of the Sunday worship mandate begun with the Roman Empire (Catholic church). Yet the Protestants ( Methodists, Baptists, etc.) mistakenly  declare that “they” know it’s  the Lord’s day, without studying history. The following 3 part video series (not real long) will explain in great simple and graphic view the REAL story of the Catholic church and it’s role in the prophecy. The beginning of the fulfillment is now starting with Germany and Croatia setting up Sunday laws.

Let us act on what we receive

December 18, 2010

In the last post I wrote about how we should be on the “lookout” for God’s answers to our prayers. Now, I wish to discuss how we must “act” on what we receive sometimes.

As many of you know, I have talked about the many ways God can answer your prayer request. For me personally it seems to be dreams. Many questions I have had were indeed “answered” in a dream by God. And an important thing to remember is that when we receive  an answer or sign from God, if at all possible SHARE IT. Jesus said (Matt 5:15) “neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light unto all that are in the house”. ( Luke 8:39) ” Return to your house, and show what great things God has done for you”.  In other words SPREAD the wonderful thing that God has done! Other’s may be inspired.

When Ellen White began to receive visions of the last days messages from God, it is said that a man named Hazen Foss received the same visions months before. But unfortunately he did not “act” upon them, to tell of them to the people. How sad it is when we too keep silent on our special signs and wonders received by God.

For awhile I have prayed a prayer about a certain person who is close to me. This person is a professing Christian. As far as I know he seems to be walking uprightly before the Lord ( except for the Sabbath). That has really concerned me. I mean, I asked God “is it possible this person is righteous still?”  This person even walks the streets telling people about Jesus. So I was in turmoil of the situation. But the answer came.  I got a dream about a week ago.

In this dream I am in the car with this person. I am in the passenger seat and he is driving. I look over at him and his eyes are open yet glazed over , almost like sleep walking (driving). Then I look ahead and there is a car coming straight at us! In a panic I reach over and grab the wheel   and steer it away and we just miss it. I look at him and say “what’s the matter with you!!?”  Then I awake. It took alittle while but the answer became clear.

God was telling me that this person is heading down a dangerous path. He is not fully awake of God’s truth and I am to reach out and warn him (try to help him). As I attempted to do this already in the past, it was now from God. So I must now “act” upon this vision. I must let him know about this dream and perhaps it will “awaken” him to some things. Sometimes we must do things that may seem hard to do, nevertheless it is right before God.

If, for example, you get a dream about your uncle Charlie and he’s in distress, it could be God telling you to reach out to him. That is why I say be aware of things sent by God  and then ACT on them.

In my case with this person I think it’s clear God was telling me that even when people “profess” to know Him and remain committed to ignoring and breaking His Commandments, they are NOT walking righteously before Him.

So remember to be ready to act on God’s signs and wonders given you. Please pray for “Rob’s special person” to have God open his eyes and to see the error of his ways.   Yours in Christ.

Are you on the look-out?

December 4, 2010

As I go further along on my Christian walk, it becomes more apparent to me that many followers of Christ really need to enhance and improve their “prayer” life. The Lord has guided me to post this message in hope that  it can lead you to discover a more meaningful prayer life with Him.

To begin with we must keep in mind that our life should be in obedience to His word. Meaning we are walking uprightly according to His Holy Commandments. Each day we should pray to be guided according to His Laws. For His word is downright  to the point in (Proverb 28:9) “If ANYONE (that mean’s even a professed Christian) turns His ear from hearing of the Law ( Holy Commandments) even HIS PRAYERS are an abomination”. “Abomination?”   Wow, talk about serious prayer requirement!  So once we are sincerely doing our best to obey His Commandments, we can feel confident to approach Him in prayer.

Jesus was our example on prayer and often withdrew Himself to a secret place to talk with God the Father. (Luke 5:16) ” He withdrew Himself into the wilderness and prayed”.  Infact Jesus told us to “go into a closet”  to pray(Matt 6:6). It is clear Jesus wants very little  or no “showiness” about our prayer. Better to withdraw privately one to One.

Another important thing Jesus said about prayer, was to not make long repetitious prayers. (Matt6:7) ”  But when you pray use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard for MUCH SPEAKING”.   That is why I cringe at churches that have set times for the same old prayer, it is vain repetitions! Our God is worthy of much more than this!

Now we get to the heart of this message and it is about BELIEF. This to me is the NUMBER ONE  reason we don’t draw close to Him through prayer.  WE DON’T REALLY BELIEVE  HE’LL  ANSWER. Sad but very true today. We ignore what our Lord said (Luke 11:19)  “And I say to you, ask and it shall be delivered to you, seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened unto you”  Do we really want answers to our prayers? Then we better start believing. Ofcourse prayer can be just letting our Lord know you love Him and want to thank Him. I am specifically talking about “prayer requests”.

How is our Lord answering our prayers? There are many ways. There are dreams ( I have had this many times) , there may be a friend sent by the Lord to you, or a stranger. There may be some written page (scripture,newspaper, bilboard, book, etc.)  The point is that we MUST BE ON THE LOOK OUT! What good is it to pray then forget all about it a day or two later?? Is our Lord pleased with our non-belief in Him responding? Do we make Him out to be so weak and non-caring?

You see the Lord wants to be our Google!  You want to know anything? Have you ever thought of asking our Lord?  I can tell you from first hand experience, once you get answers from Him, it really does lift your closeness to Him to a new level.  We must be careful to be specific in our requests and pointed. We want to clearly understand. But once we ask,  then we must not forget about it.

Prayer is the lifeblood of our walk and it will bring a closeness and bonding to our Lord that will truly inspire you to GO TELL people about this ALIVE and ready to help Lord of ours!  Amen my brothers and sisters.

Heart to Heart

December 2, 2010

The following post is contributed by my dear friend Barbra Namuddu. They are some  pointed scriptures and may we dwell on their truth!

(2 Peter 3:9) ” The Lord is not slow to do what He promises, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want any one to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins”. Here is shows that even when we think He isn’t watching and caring for us He is!

(Mark 7:20-23) ” It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from the inside, from a person’s heart, comes evil ideas which lead him to do immoral things, to rob, to kill, commit adultery. be greedy and do do all sorts of evil things….”   Certainly all sin originates within our heart and mind. For our nature is evil and rebellious.  Only Christ can change this nature!

(Matthew 12:34) ” You snakes, how can you say good things, when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of”  Amen. Our talk should be of love and gentleness, as Christ showed. Even though their is what is called ” righteous anger” it should be far and few between.

The Ten Commandments are God’s principles that originate from His heart. That heart is love and cannot produce harshness, so the Ten Commandments express love fo God to us, and love of us towards our fellow brothers and sisters. When God writes the Commandments in your heart, our heart is becoming like His heart, so it is heart to heart, as it were.

God says today, that my child I am giving you a new heart. Will you accept it?  Will you turn away from your sins? Please pray often for God to keep providing with this new heart and constant renewing of  His love!     Amen.

Amazing facts from the Bible

November 27, 2010

As many of you know Doug Batchelor of Amazing facts is really doing a fantastic job spreading God’s truth. If at all possible please go to his website often and discover a site blessed by God and professing SO MUCH truth. Everything from the Commandments to explainations about subjects such as hell, after death, heaven, and much more. You’ll be blessed and more knowledgeable.  His site is www.amazingfacts.org

The following are some facts obtained from one of his monthly magazine. These are truly amazing and inspiring.

There are 1188 chapters in the whole Bible. Guess what verse is right in the very middle of the Bible? Psalms 118.8. Now tell me God is not the design of this!

Dr. Peter Stone, former chairman of the department of mathematics astronomy, and engineering at Pasadena College in California, worked with 600 students applying the “principle of probability to the Bible prophecies of the coming of the Messiah.

1) Born in Bethlehem             (Micah 5:2)                                                                         

2) Born of a virgin   (Isaiah 7:14)

3) Of David’s lineage        (Jeremaih 23:5)

4) Attempted murder by Herod        (Jeremiah 31:15)

5) Betrayal by a friend            (Psalm 41:9)

6) Sold for 30 silver coins            (Zechariah 11:12)

7) Pierced                (Zechariah 12:10)

8 ) Lots casted for His clothes           (Psalms 22:18)

9) No bones broken           (Psalms 34:20    Exodus 12:46)

10) Buried in a rich man’s tomb       (Isaiah 53:9)

11)Year, Day, Hour of His death         ( Daniel 9:26  Exodus 12:6)

12) Raised the third day           (Hosea 6:2)

They chose just 8 of those prophecies from hundreds available and determined the chances of all eight being fulfilled in one man in a lifetime.   Here is the chance of that happening

1  in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000  !

Let’s just say only God could have divinely made this happen.

For those who are “New testament” believers only and say that this is the only book that is relevant today this is something you should know.   Jesus quoted at least 10 % of everything he said from the Old testament.

The Bible, in part or whole has been translated into nearly 2000 languages. The most translated book of all time.

These are just a few tidbits from Amazing facts publications. May you discover this great site and have God show you some amazing things.

Strong Delusions

November 13, 2010

On the TV and radio today we often hear eloquent and forceful pastors and evangelists speak “great” things about God and His love for us.  As we listen we marvel at the smooth things they tell us, the hopeful things they tell us. We say “wow, what great truth they are speaking”. But “words” are only half of the Christian equation. The other is ACTIONS. Our Lord’s word says (Matt 7:16) ” You shall know them by their fruits…”   Meaning  what  they DO is just as important as what they SAY.

Today people want “smooth” things. How good they really are, how God accepts them as willful continual sinners, how they must ask for good riches and comforts now, etc. As this is satan’s world,  it is no surprise that the worlds largest “Christian” TV network in the world is TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network) c0-founded by the famous Bakkers (Jim and Tammy) in 1973. Is it any wonder then that Joyce Meyers and Joesph Prince have two of the largest followings  among “Christian” leaders today?  But do people actually look at these leaders lives to see if they are “obeying” God’s word, thereby producing fruit in their “actions”?

Again, it goes back to the people’s desire to be told smooth things so they can “feel” good about their non-obedience to God’s word, it is that simple! I have often listened to radio pastors “teach and preach” on the radio. I can honestly feel myself almost being fooled, their words are so smooth and their story convincing.  Yet what they really are teaching is DIRECTLY against our King’s own words.  Jesus said it would be WRONG and you would be called “least” in heaven if you  “break and teach”  it’s OK to break one of the Commandments (Matt 5:19). And sure enough I’ll  hear  “I’ll be at so and so church this SUNDAY, come worship with us”. I wonder what he did on Saturday, catch a ballgame? Go shopping? Movies? It amazes me that THEY call what is holy to them, not God.  Then I remember our Lord’s words  “You shall know them by their Fruits”.

In (2 Thel 2:10) we read ” …..because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. For this cause God shall send a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie…”  Here we see that the people are SO WRAPPED UP in this “delusion” God allows them to go into it deeply, just as they want. And the delusion is this— GOD ACCEPTS YOU AS YOU CONTINUALLY BREAK HIS COMMANDMENTS.  

One of the most solemn thoughts we can have is to know on that day when many  will say “LORD, LORD,”  Jesus will sadly say ” I do not know you, you who have PRACTICED LAWLESSNESS”(Matt 7:23). In other words Jesus did not know them because they continually loved a lie (breaking His Commandments)  Why?  because most LISTENED and followed false teachers!  These teachers  drew close to the Lord with their “lips” but their heart was far from Him(Matt 15:8).    “You shall know them by their fruits”

So I ask you dear brother or sister, don’t  fall for the deception that many Christians are buying hook , line and sinker!  Remember this word of the Lord and it will steer you right. (Isaiah 8:20)  “To the Law and to the testimony, if they speak not these words, it is because there is no light in them”. Amazingly those  very similar words describe who  are saved in Revelation (Rev 14;12) ” Here is the patience of the saints, here are they which KEEP the Commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus”  (Law and testimony)    yours in Christ,   Rob

Ps. And always remember to pray for your brother or sister who is being deluded by false teachers, that God will awake them to His word and truth. amen.

1 year blog anniversary and thank you letter

October 30, 2010

This was one of those rare weeks where the Lord didn’t particularly guide me in writing any special message. Maybe He planned it that way, because at the last minute (about 30 minutes ago) an  idea hit me!  One year has gone by since my inception of this blog. And I have alot to be thankful for and to tell you all how much you’ve meant to me.

Every since that FIRST EVER SABBATH OBSERVANCE  almost two years ago, my life has done a complete 180! Here I was just a regular sinner doing my own thing, going my own direction. Seeking every pleasure I could. Unbeknown est to me I was living out Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes. ALL is vanity and a running after the wind! For we are a vapor as his word says. (James 5:14)”…For what is life? It is a vapor , that appears for alittle time, then vanishes away”.

 Then with that fateful decision to “try” His Sabbath, My life took a different direction. Just as Jesus said (John 14:21)  ” He that has my Commandments and KEEPS them, he it is that loves me and shall be loved by the Father, and I will love him, and will REVEAL MYSELF to him”.  I have “seen” and felt this “revealing” so clear and powerful!

So after I saw Jesus reveal Himself to me that first Sabbath, I had a real hunger for His word and His Holy Laws. Since then  He has inspired me to start this blog and tell a  message  of His love, ways, and Law. Many people have been touched, of which I thank God, for being used by him to reach some of you. The words and message I have posted here were  inspired by the Lord, and He has guided me to show His truth.

As I have said in my posts, we are living in the last days. His message is going out to “come out” of Babylon! I am part of that message. So please know this. You are now being called to “worship Him who made the heavens and earth and seas”. That means to “worship” Him as HE HAS SAID. Not worship Him by breaking a Commandment (Sunday worship) but by OBEYING His Commandments. Those who are keeping His Commandments in these last days WILL BE SAVED. That is what Revelation says, no IF’S, AND’S or BUT’S  about it!

So, I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time each week to read the posts. Some new features have been added ( you can Facebook, print, and email any post) at bottom of each post. Let’s “spread” His message and become active in reaching out! May God keep you and guide you until we are called up yonder! (as that beautiful song goes 😉 —–   Rob

Matt. 24:20

October 16, 2010

These words of our Lord in (Matt 24:20) are so powerful and true, yet SO SIMPLE and straightforward, that the vast Christian world just sails right by it!  How many of you  have debated and even argued with anti-Sabbath keepers? Often we feel it’s a  very frustrating task. They’ll counter us with mis-guided scripture such as (Col 2:16), etc. I’m about to help show you just ONE scripture you can use to effectively end the matter. Ofcourse many will CONTINUE to keep their blind glasses on, but nevertheless you will have shown them the truth which they CANNOT deny. Your reasoning will be powerful and convincing IF they care to KNOW the truth about the Sabbath.

In ( 1Peter 3:15) we read “..be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you in meekness and fear”  So we must be ready to  give our “reason” for obeying His Law and Sabbath. As many of us know the Sabbath will become  the drawing line in these last days, so this is a VERY important matter and we must  be prepared. Many times, we  as believers and obeyors of His Holy Law are asked ‘Why are you being so legalistic?”   and   “Don’t you know Jesus ‘fulfilled’ the Law and the Sabbath was done away with on the cross?”

Ok, on to the text of Matthew 24:20.   In the beginning of Chapter 24, we read that His disciples CAME TO HIM. The first ‘fact” is that Jesus is talking to His beloved disciples. And all the following words from Matt 24:2 to Matt 24:20  are SPOKEN TO HIS DISCIPLES. This is the first key we must know. Some anti-Sabbath keepers will tell you Jesus meant Matt 24:20 was to the “Jews”. That is absolutely false.

Then in Matt 24:2 to 24:19 Jesus describes the FUTURE destruction to come to Jerusalem AND TO THE WORLD IN THE LAST DAYS. This is extremely important to know. Jesus is clearly talking about future events, a time yet to come. And then Jesus says in Matt 24:20      “But pray ye, that your flight be not in the winter, or ON THE SABBATH DAY”

Ok, let’s analyze our Lord’s words and meaning.  We know that Jesus loved His disciplines, He cared about them beyond words. After describing the horrible events to come, He says “pray”  meaning ask for the Father’s guidance and help. Then we can logically ask “pray” for what?  Jesus then tells us “what” they and us must pray for!  WE  MUST  PRAY  THAT WE  DO   NOT  HAVE   TO TRAMPLE  AND DIS- HONOR  HIS HOLY DAY!  Can you imagine if Jesus says to “pray” that we don’t dis-honor His Sabbath IN  AN EMERGENCY, what about how we are looked at if we WILLINGLY trample and dis-honor it?  Jesus is plainly telling us that He and His Father will STILL have their Holy Sabbath  IN THE FUTURE!   All this is so plain and simple to understand. It can only be the devil’s work , that great blindness is prevalent on these words of Jesus.

If you are a  “Sunday” keeper, how can Matt 24:20 tell you Jesus doesn’t care about the Sabbath anymore?  Jesus, being all knowing, should have known that “His” people would have been led to abandon(after His death) the Sabbath for Sunday, right? . So there is  only confusion by Jesus’ words in Matt 24;20  to them! Sunday keeping is relied on and believed BY TRADITION. That is the God truth. They try to  twist and contort  Matt. 24:20, but 2 plus 2 will still equal 4.  God’s word is meant for the simple man(woman) and that verse makes  plain simple sense.

So be confident that those simple yet powerful words of Jesus cannot be denied and you can go forth and stand up for the Lord and His loving Laws!        Yours always, in Christ.
