Maybe some of you in the recent past have been seeing vlogs that talk about some people in the Bible and their lifestyle. I’ve seen some of them, not all but enough to know that the information isn’t correct. I’ve also seen other people respond in correction.

Jesus warrned us that there will be people who wear sheep suits but really are mean wolves.  Matthew chapter 7 is a very strong chapter. “Watch out for false prophets.  They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. -Matthew 7:15

Jesus warns us to not buy things hook, line, and sinker. Fish gulliable eat. It is very important to go back to the Bible and divide it properly. Many people do pick one verse and try to twist it to justify their lifestyle. They have the wrong motive, wrong heart, and wrong intentions. The motive is selfish– just to justify THEIR actions.

How can we tell the difference between good christians and people who wear a sheep suit? Jesus explains in the same chapter. “By their fruit you will recognize them.” -Matthew 7: 16 Jesus explains more in that same chapter about fruits. It’s how the person acts and says. “Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” –Matthew 7:16-18.

Let me elaborate a bit more on the fruit part. When we accept Christ as our savior, we have the fruits of the Spirit which is shared in Galatians. “But the fruit of the Spirit is   love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  meekness, temperance:  against such there is no law.  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and  lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying  one another. “ Galatians 5:22-26.

These fruits influences everything we do, the way we say, and the way we rationalize things. If we have a relationship with God, our fruits will grow. God is a good Spirit, and Him in me helps me produce good fruits. If I am a person that has God’s spirit living in me, I will naturally flow and show good fruits with good intentions and motives. I will want to be a servant to you rather than being arrogant and expect to be served at. Really, watch how people act, what they say, and how they rationalize things. The Holy spirit has given us a gift- discerning of the Spirit- I can tell which one is a wolf in a sheep suit and there are times when I’m not sure and I will go ahead and get to know the person some more. There are a lot of “wolves” out there. It is our responsibility to be on the watch-out.

Does this mean that you’re better off not having anything to do with Bible? No. There’s truth and freedom with God. The Truth is what we need to hold onto. You are responsible in what you see and take. Like Jesus said, watch their fruits. We have a responsibility. We can’t just sit down and buy things that people tell us.  Christians with the fruit of the Spirit will want to serve God 100%. Their desire is to glorify God and they want to help others. That’s another thing we can look into a person. Are they able to Walk the walk like Jesus did?

Now, I will talk about how we ought to respond to those kind of people, “wolves in a sheep suit”. Jesus says this, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” -Matthew 7:6.

Wisdom, Words of advices, Thoughtfulnesses, Words of Encouraging, Truth, and whatever is good and holy are considered valuable. When someone shares with me words of Wisdom, I am always grateful that they helped me understand more. My eyes and my mind is enlightened. It’s of great value. When someone shares with me thoughtful and encouraging words, it makes me feel inspired.  Pearls are of great value and Jesus knows that all things that are good are with value. People in a sheep suit will not regard Scriptures and Wisdom as great value. They will take what you shared, trample on it and when it’s done and they will turn around and chew you out. It’s like walking into a pack of wolves.

Does this mean at all times we should not answer those people? No. Let’s see what Proverbs says (one of my husband’s favorite verses.) I have two here and read both. “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. -Proverbs 26:4

and another one just right after this verse: Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.” –Proverbs 26:5

Huh!? You’re in a no win situation here. Don’t answer a fool or you’ll be like him. Answer a fool lest he think he’s wise in his own eyes. Dododo??? Ah, Thank God for the Bible. It is filled with understanding.

Jesus tells us, “For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.” –Luke 12:12. I don’t treat everyone the same. Sometimes I meet a person and I notice that the person isn’t saying the right thing, I approach to help them gain wisdom. People can realize and say, “Oh, wow, thank you.” and change fast. Some will, some won’t. Sometimes I meet people and they talk talk talk and I say nothing. Sometimes I will go as far as I can– give it my all. Depending on the person and what the Holy Spirit tells me.

I commend those who were brave to stand up and speak the Truth against follies and I encourage those who created vlogs sharing information that isn’t true to re-examine what you said….with integrity.

Have a great day!

Easter is not a Biblical Holiday. Shock!? Yes, it’s true.

2,000 years before Jesus was born, there was a festival that was known in Babylon. The Babylonians worshipped a god named Tammuz who was brought back to the underworld by his father, Ishtar, pronounced “EASTER”. The eggs in the festival celebrated fertility. Ishtar was also the god of spring and his wife’s name was Venus who carried eggs to bring fertilitzation. The hare, bunny, was a symbol in the festival that was in respect for Tammuz’s favorite animal. Pagans worshipped bunnies to honor Tammuz and they brought baskets to the gods. All this was practiced every year by the Babylonians around the same time as Passover.  Isthar, or Easter, in other words is a pagan fertility bunny god.

It has converted to become an American holiday that the Christians have adopted. This concept is the same with Christmas.  The celebration of Easter was once forbidden in America until perhaps 200 years ago. A law was passed to allow Americans celebrate “Ishtar”. (I might have the years wrong but it was against the law to celebrate Easter– bunny, egg, baskets, etc– in America at one point.)

Now, all this, it is real funny to see Christian parents lie and cover up to children and tell them the Easter, “Isthar” Bunny, is coming on Sunday morning with candies. The children put their basket and go to bed excitely waiting for the bunny to show up and fill their baskets with candies and gifts. Unbeknowingly to them, they are livening up the traditions of the god Ishtar.

The Catholic Church, the same thing with Christmas, wanted more congregation– so they adopted the pagan’s holiday as a compromise. Since Isthar was resurrected on a Sunday, the Catholic Church changed and declared that Jesus resurrected on a Sunday. Easter is revolved around the Catholic church’s traditions such as Ash Wednesday and Lent. Neither has been mentioned in the Bible nor was it a commandment to celebrate it. The word Easter is used ONCE in the Bible In Acts 12:4. You can look in your bible. The greek word for that word “Easter” is pascha. What Pascha really means is Passover. Some say the Catholic church changed the Passover term to Easter. I really don’t know exactly how the word Easter ended up in KJV but other translation such as NKJV and etc put back the correct word. Passover.

So, Easter absolutely has nothing to do with Jesus’s death nor his resurrection but, instead, is a pagan festival worshipping the gods.

The early Christians, INCLUDING Jesus always celebrated Passover. It is a ceremony with different rituals and food. If you haven’t been to a Messanic Passover, I encourage you to try to attend one. It is a beautiful ceremony. This year’s Passover does not fall on the same weekend as Easter. Passover is always followed by the Jewish Calendar and will be on April 20th. It was God’s desire that His children celebrate Passover forever. He wanted the story of the Exodus be told to all generations.

“So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.” -Exodus 12:17

And Jesus says to do so in the New Covenant.

“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” -Luke 22:17

Now, about Jesus’ death, the Jews asked Jesus for a sign that He is the Messiah. Jesus says that the sign would be that he would die and resurrect after three days and three nights.  SPECIFICALLY He said THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS. If Jesus resurrected 2 days and 1 night. HE IS NOT THE MESSIAH. That’s another god…. I am looking for the Messiah that died and rose after 3 days and 3 nights.

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. -Matthew 12:4

The Catholic church, which many many Christian church have mistakenly followed says Jesus died on a Friday (Good Friday) and resurrected on a Sunday.  That’s 1 day and TWO nights.  It’s half filled. That’s false Messiah– I’m not interested in any false Messiah who cannot FULFIL 100% 3 days and 3 nights.If He was not in the ground three days and three nights, then He is a liar and not truly the Son of God. God forbid Jesus knew there was 12 hours in a day (John 11:9-10). He’s not dumb. Easter tradition denies the gospel and the very sign that Jesus Christ gave of His identity as the Son of God.

What many people do not know is that Jesus is our Passover lamb. I will share the story of the Jesus’ death. You will see scriptures appear as a caption. I encourage you to go to your bible and read the scriptures. I do not have much time to share ALL the scriptures. Remember, the Jewish Calendar, according to God, a new day starts at sunset, not midnight.

1) Wednesday sunset, (new day) Jesus ate the Passover with His disciples on the evening of the fourteenth by Moses’ law (Ex 12:6-8; Matt 26:17-20; Mark 14:12-17; Luke 22:7-15).

2) Wednesday morning, group say crucify him. Pilates beat him and the crucifixion began at 9:00 AM, and Jesus died after the darkness ended at 3:00 PM (Matthew 27:45-50; Mark 15:25,33-37; Luke 23:44-49).

3) Before sunset on Wednesday, Jesus was buried hurriedly as the preparation day ended and the high Sabbath day was about to begin (Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:14,31,42).

In Leviticus , there is a day of Sabbath (not SATURDAY), and that is during the week of Passover. Thursday of this week was a Sabbath and the Jews stayed home.

4) Thursday, The women who followed Jesus rested the high Sabbath day of the Passover before buying and preparing their spices (Mark 16:1 cp Exodus 12:16).

5) Friday afternoon, The women bought their spices and prepared them on the regular workday between the two Sabbaths days this week (Mark 16:1 cp Luke 23:55-56).

6) Saturday (Sabbath), The women rested during the weekly Sabbath day after buying and preparing their spices the previous workday (Luke 23:55-56 cp Exodus 20:10).

7) Sabbath evening, Jesus rose from the dead as the weekly Sabbath ended – three days and three nights after burial – as prophesied (Matthew 12:39-40; Mark 8:31).

Sunday morning, While it was still dark, the morning of the first day of the week, the women found the tomb already empty (Matt 28:1-6; Luke 24:1-3; John 20:1).

The gospel record of Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection prove His identifying sign of three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39-40). Anyone holding to a Friday crucifixion and/or a Sunday morning resurrection is denying the very sign Jesus gave to prove He was the Son of God.

Ask yourself. Do you know who you are worshipping? Easter, the false Messiah or Passover, the TRUE MESSIAH.

Hi!

ACIM- A Course In Miracles A vlogger, deafmomof3 mentions it. There is a link on the video and you can watch her vlog to get an understanding of what I will share. I want to elaborate some more.  ACIM really parellels with the Bible. It has pretty much stolen the concept from the Bible. ACIM also has removed God, Jesus, and everything related to those two. ACIM’s concept and way of life is so much similiar to the Bible. Satan is always at work everyday trying blend and confuse the Bible, in other words, throw God out of the picture and have people begin to serve him in unknowingly. Make no mistake that ACIM has stolen a lot of concept from the Bible. I will prove it to you with scriptures.

1) ACIM shares that we must say over and over again about something until it is conceived into our minds, hearts, and so on. The Bible teaches that. There is power in the Word and what you say to yourself.

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” –Proverbs 18:21

Also, we have faith. I am not talking about religional practice, “My religion faith is…” I am talking about the substance of something that is hoped for in our minds as explained in this scripture.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” –Hebrews 11:1.

You have to say things to make it conceive in your mind, heart, and body. This is for everything in life with God such as your salvation, your joy, your peace, your finances, your prosperity, etc.  An example from the Bible is Abraham. Abraham, for example, his name was Abram. His wife was barren and God told him he would be father to many nations. God changed his name to Abraham, which means “Father of many nations.” Abram was not even a father yet he called himself “Abraham”. People even called him Abraham. They kept saying over and over and over again, “Father of many nation.” That concept was conceived in Abraham’s mind that his wife would bear him a child. 

Satan realizes that this is an effective way to live your life. God gave us an instruction on how to live your life abundantly . Satan just wants you to serve him, so he scratches off “God and Jesus”.

2) ACIM says it s a mind training thing. The Bible teaches that. Many times we see God tell us, “Renew your mind!” Mind is a powerful thing–

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.” –Romans 12:2.

Often we see in the Bible where God pinpoints different mindsets, “A doubleminded, a reprobate mind, a peverted mind, a humble mind, a sound mind, and etc”
 
3) ACIM encourages people to get together and have a small “therapy group” discuss and encourage one another. The Bible teaches that.

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”-Hebrews 10:25.

We are supposed to get together as often as we can to encourage one another– help other overcome their barriers, help them rise and see their victory. “Fight the fight of faith.” And Paul compares himself to a runner– we must be in training daily– train train train train train. PRACTICE. 

4) ACIM says that Salvation comes from yourself-within. Salvation is a gift to mankind from God, BUT we ourselves can take it and preserve it or we can throw it away. God did not make us a robot. We have freewill. We freely accepted Christ as our savior, and we can freely throw it away.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” –Matthew 7:21 
 
5) ACIM says not to hold onto the old wooden cross. I’m not sure what exactly it means but if it means about standing by the cross or holding onto a rosary. This is what the Bible taught.

“Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,”-Hebrews 6:1.”

Go beyond the cross. Often people lay down by the cross thinking “I’m a no good sinner, saved by grace.” The Bible encourages us to move on– mature– grow up. Now, if it is about rosaries, rosaries is a form of idolatry and the Bible says to flee from idolatry.   
 
6) ACIM says we are Light of the World– Fact. Jesus said that to us.

“You are the light of the world.” –Matthew 5:14

We are also the salt of the world. (Matthew 5:13). 

What Jesus is saying is that we should be such a light of the world that the unbelievers, when they look at Christians will say, “Look at those Christians! Something about them– I want what they have- they look so vibrant– so happy.”  That’s what we are supposed to be. “Light of the World”. ACIM understands that concept and they removed Jesus from the picture.  

7) ACIM says that we are gods within ourselves. The Bible does teach that concept.

“Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are gods’?” –John 10:34.

We have creative powers in our tongue. If we say we are “sick” then we are sick. If we say again and again that we are poor, then we are poor. The same thing goes for many things. We have creative power in our tongues just as God does and that was given to us by Him. Plus, Christ is God in flesh so when we accept Christ, we have Christ in us. Don’t forget the Holy Spirit being in us. We are gods. We can do miracles and power within our body and around us. This concept is a little complicated and not quite popular among many to discuss but when it is studied properly, the concept becomes clearer.

Jesus gave us a lot of instructions on how to lead a good and abundant life. ACIM understands that concept but unfortunately it is common that many Christians don’t understand that concept–it is taught in the Bible.

ACIM does not believe in a God. Now, they cannot prevent themselves from dying and when they die– who will raise them back to life? There has to be a supreme divine to raise one back to life. Ask yourself that question if you don’t know who God is. Who will raise you back to life?

Have a great week!
