Excerpts From Studies' Area ▼
Excerpt from: In His Presence.
"A self surrendered in the silence of His presence is a soul at peace in Him who reclaimed it! The earth and its burdens no
longer bind you and you are free to walk the stars, revel in His glory, bathed in His love. Time affects only the earthly,
but your spirit is free to soar the heavenlies -- and the hours pass quickly, while In His Presence!
To journey where no mortal may go: This Is Prayer!"

Shocking Finding: Two-thirds (67%) of pre-teen parents claim to be Christian, but only 2% of all pre-teen parents actually possess a biblical worldview...
American Values Personal Survey
Poll: American Majority Wants Congress to Pass Pro-Life Protections
Downward Trend Who Say Same-Sex Relations Morally Acceptable
Satan, The Father Of Lies
Battle For America's Soul
Ligonier Ministries' Biennial Study of The State Of American Theology
Among the Shocking findings are -
1. "31% of adults say it is very important for their religious faith to influence every dimension of their life."
2. "49% accept reincarnation as a possibility after they die."
Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline?
Something is grossly immoral and amiss!
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:
With a supply chain already near collapse, this is only a portent of things to come. People are going to starve. We might as well accept this chilling fact. It is time for America to throw off the divisive merchants and come together to help one another.
If you have not placed your faith in Jesus Christ and are troubled by the events of our recent times and seem to be without hope, let me encourage you to read this... If you already are a Christian and still troubled, "Let not your heart be troubled... John 14. Have hope. Have courage. There is nothing to fear! Jesus is the giver of peace. He will not let you down! As He calmed the storms, He will calm your heart.

It includes a summary of each chapter, a redacted study of each disciple, a brief study of Gnosticism of the time, pertinent timelines,
and much more. Each chapter of study includes extensive Biblical references to the notes on the chapter.
A chronological excerpt of each section will be posted here at the beginning of each month. You can access free of charge at any time
a complete online digital version
for your further study. In addition, a link will be provided to purchase the book on CD to install on
your own computer for convenience of study and print. All we ask is that you observe the stated copyrights as with any book you buy over
the counter, limiting your print to only one hard copy for your own personal use. If further hard copies are necessary,
please contact us for an additional nominal fee. Thank you for your interest in this study. Our hope and prayer is that
through the work of the Holy Spirit as you study you will be blessed by it, and if so, recommend it to a friend.
We begin this month with the Preface to the book: Adam2.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of
life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And the Lord God said,
Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden
Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Genesis 1,2, & 3 KJV - Redacted)
Unpermitted to carry with him even one day's provision when he walked through the closing gate of the Garden into a new hostile world, one cannot help but wonder if, as Lot's wife, this first Adam did not look longingly over his shoulder at a sealed and vanishing home of cherished memories. If he did, then he had to have seen a lonely
Figure standing in the doorway in the distance in heart-broken agony, just as the prodigal's father, watching the departure of a loved son lost through his own desires—and with the expectant look of a hope to see him someday return. And if this errant son had looked closer, he would have seen standing beside this Father another Son, a Second Adam yet to be born,
One who would later enter this fallen world outside that Garden to show the first Adam's descendants the way to this Eternal Home's hidden entrance.
As recorded in Genesis, the drama of the origin and fall of that first Adam had just concluded in unparalleled tragedy. But John tells us there is a sequel to that sad story, one that begins with his Gospel and concludes in triumph with his final chapter called Revelation. What lies between the end of that first story and its final conclusion
is a mere parenthetical expression of Adam and his sons' wayward wanderings and this Father's Introduction to His grandsons. And so John begins, as did the first, "In the Beginning," and proceeds to introduce the Earthly Coming of God's Second Son, this time as His Only Begotten. Born to a virgin granddaughter of the woman He fashioned from the first,
He has come to walk the dusty and lonely trails of a fallen planet for one purpose—to search out and tell Adam's descendants they must be born through Him to see clearly Eden's opening, and by their own choice, choose to re-enter it, or remain in the darkness of a doomed world. This is John's story, as God chose him to tell it.
There are so many things in life that are uncertain—important things. This may itself be a time of uncertainty for you.
Understanding, you think, if I could just understand it wouldn't seem so bad. We think if we could see just a silhouette of
what might be, today would not seem so dark. Strength fails us. Weariness adds its weight daily to my soul. Anxiety strikes
and seizes me frequently without warning. I do not understand what is happening with me. How long? When, when shall my
deliverance be when life seems so uncertain now?
There are times when we have exited the clouds of uncertainty only to discover some things we are glad we had no prior knowledge,
things that if known would have clouded and weighed our minds even further. But still, there are some things we desire desperately
to know—now: answers to long sought objects of our tearful prayers or the way clear of a present cloud or storm.
It could be the sting of a betrayed loyalty, love, or friendship, fear of an impending loss or a time of great chaos, confusion and upheaval.
We believe having prior knowledge or some understanding of how it may eventually be with us would mitigate our present anxiety thus
allowing some joy, any joy, in our current dark days. God does not generally give us the choice of that knowledge.
However, one thing we can know is that while we can't see, He can. While we can't control the outcome, He does...
When we come to the end of our logic and reason, all the advice of family and friends, read the last chapter in the latest
best seller self-help book, we have to turn to the One from whom all things came. If anyone is to understand, it must be Him
("So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17). One of the things He tells us is
that we are to "walk by faith and not by sight." (II Corinthians 5:7) "For ye are all the
children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:26) "Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear." (Hebrews 11:3) "That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:" (I Peter 1:7)
It is clear in these few examples of His Word, God does not have to look to "things that are" for solutions for "things to be."
To have been an observer when He brought "all things" into existence from "no thing", we would stand with mouth agape in stark disbelief.
Who among ten thousand would not say: Impossible! I saw it but I still don't believe it! Regardless of your belief, there it is!
The evidence of that event and fact remains. It is undisputed by modern scientists—that moment when matter exploded into
existence and continues to expand and form in wonder and awe. Look about you. New discoveries of what once was thought, impossible!
continue to delight us. But, you retort: I don't see how! Precisely! Now, isn't that where you are in your present uncertainty?
You don't see how? You've exhausted all reason from the best wisdom of men.
The following is taken from the Book of Old Testament Summaries.
Chapter
(970 B.C.?)
The song of songs, Solomon's. The bride desires and describes the kiss of her love, better than wine,
drawn to run together, later to be brought into his chambers. She describes herself with humility: black but comely,
because of her duties in life. Her soul desires the presence of her love. She finds him by his flock.
He expresses a comparison of her and his compassion for her. She responds in kind: he, a cluster of camphire.
He then compliments her: fair with dove's eyes. She is euphoric in his presence in their surroundings,
lying with him on the grass under the cedar and fir.
She expresses her humility—a rose of Sharon. He replies: "a lily among thorns." She compares him to an apple tree,
she in its shadow. She is brought to a banquet, honored with his banner of love. She swoons, upheld by the hand of his strength,
caressed by the other. Love to awaken in its own strength without outside interference. She awakens; he comes to her as a roe.
He calls for her to come away; winter has past, spring comes. She recognizes and requests the removal of the "little foxes"
that would eat away at their mutual devotion. She declares her betrothal: she his, he hers. Her night temporal, their day everlasting.
She dreams upon her bed while she waits for him to come to her in the night. She searches for him in the city,
encountered by the watchmen, discovering him shortly. She clings to him, bringing him to her mother's house.
Love again awakens in its own strength. The people are awed and astonished at the regal arrival of the king's procession,
his attendants, his carriage, and his nuptial crown.
The king's sevenfold description of his bride, his spouse (the veil now gone, seeing her face).
He calls her from the desires of her past to the affection of her present and future with him,
for she has ravished his heart with her love. To him she is a garden, enclosed, secured for him alone,
with many treasures to be enjoyed, a fountain of gardens with living waters. She appeals to the gentle
winds to blow upon her gardens that he, smelling her fragrances, come into his garden to partake of its fruits.
He comes, gathers, eats, and drinks at her banquet. The banquet is opened to his friends. She sleeps, but dreams again.
He comes to her chamber in the night seeking admittance; she hesitates, he calls, she rises, he pleads, she opens, he is gone!
She goes in search, again encountered by the watchmen, only to be smitten and humiliated. She is sick with his love.
She seeks assistance from the daughters of Jerusalem; they want to know of him. She gives them his description; he is
not only her husband, but her friend as well!
The virgins ask her of his haunts that they might help in her search. She suspects him to have gone to his gardens
to feed and gather his lilies. She discovers him; he is glad, no rebuke, only overcome by her love, unchanged in his opinion of her,
impressed in her hunt for him. He sees in her the grace and beauty of the dance of two companies.
WEF Official Calls for AI to Re-Write the Bible 'Correctly'
"In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct … just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years," states WEF advisor Yuval Noah Harari, "a homosexual, Israeli author and historian who holds mostly to atheistic beliefs in spirituality," - Charismamag.com.
Transgender Lutheran pastor on the Bible's clear line of male & female: "It's hard to relate it to modern-day times b/c it wasn't written for 2024. It was written for then.

To the cast down and disheartened, stop and remember the joy of the beginning of your new birth. Remember, there is no battle you face that He has not already fought and overcome. The victory is yours. Embrace it.

The Judgments of Almighty God - 8/12/1984
Jude 1:6-15: And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
When Praying, Do Not See Time And Eternity, Earth And Heaven, Being Divided By So Great A Chasm That Cannot Be Bridged By The Holy Spirit Who Lives Within The Heart Ready To Make Intercession For The Sincere Believer!... Read More
As a child, our world was so close we could not yet see in our minds afar; so He seemed so near. But as we grow older our world
expands, our minds stretch, and He, at times to some, seems so distant that we often hear one say, "God, if you are out there or
up there, and if you can hear me...?", as if to say He is just too far away our words may not be able to reach Him. Could this be
one reason Jesus said unless you come as a little child you cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven?
(Mk.10:15;
Lk.18:17;
17:20-21;
John 3:3,5)
THIS IS PRAYER!
His Kingdom On Earth! God, Not There, But Here, In My Heart As I Pray: "Thy Kingdom Come." This, I Must Believe When I Pray!
AND SO PRAY:
"Forgive me, Heavenly Father, when I doubt whether you hear when I pray. And may I always pray in such a way that reveals a
childlike faith in a close and Intimate Father."
"And because of all this we make a sure covenant."
There are many occasions in our experience when we may very rightly, and with benefit, renew our covenant with God. After recovery from sickness when, like Hezekiah, we have had a new term of years added to our life, we may fitly do it... Read More
After any deliverance from trouble, when our joys bud forth anew, let us again visit the foot of the cross, and renew our consecration. Especially, let us do this after any sin which has grieved the Holy Spirit, or brought dishonour upon the cause of God; let us then look to that blood which can make us whiter than snow, and again offer ourselves unto the Lord. We should not only let our troubles confirm our dedication to God, but our prosperity should do the same. If we ever meet with occasions which deserve to be called "crowning mercies" then, surely, if He hath crowned us, we ought also to crown our God; let us bring forth anew all the jewels of the divine regalia which have been stored in the jewel-closet of our heart, and let our God sit upon the throne of our love, arrayed in royal apparel. If we would learn to profit by our prosperity, we should not need so much adversity. If we would gather from a kiss all the good it might confer upon us, we should not so often smart under the rod. Have we lately received some blessing which we little expected? Has the Lord put our feet in a large room? Can we sing of mercies multiplied? Then this is the day to put our hand upon the horns of the altar, and say, "Bind me here, my God; bind me here with cords, even for ever." Inasmuch as we need the fulfillment of new promises from God, let us offer renewed prayers that our old vows may not be dishonoured. Let us this morning make with Him a sure covenant, because of the pains of Jesus which for the last month we have been considering with gratitude.

I felt very much alone. I was overwhelmed with grief and I expected to find sympathy... Read More
I found no sympathy. I saw only thousands of others whose bodies were as badly mangled as mine. I was given a number and placed in a category.
The category was called "Traffic Fatalities."
The day I died was an ordinary school day. How I wish I had taken the bus. But I was too cool for the bus. I remembered how I wheeled the car
out of Mom. "Special favor," I pleaded. "All the kids drive." When the 2:50 bell rang I threw my books in the locker. I was free until
8:40 tomorrow morning. I ran to the parking lot excited at the thought of driving a car and being my own boss. Free!...

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
Project Blue Beam
The world does not have a clue what has been developed over the years with private and tax payer dollars.
As with most things, there is a positive benefit to society with new discoveries and inventions.
But then nefarious people see how they can use it to manipulate people for their own evil purposes and benefit.
Many mega-churches now project holograms of their pastors preaching on Sundays in many of their pastorless satellite churches around the globe, at the same time—that have been equipped to receive such a transmission. This same technology is being developed by globalists for use on a universal scale in the not too distant future to unveil their devious evil program that will deceive the world.
It is evil. It will cause world-wide panic. (Think Jesus appearing in the sky. Think aliens and their fleet of UFOs—an invasion! You have been warned.)
Just as the people have so readily been conditioned by fear of a so-called deadly pandemic to accept their universal masks and vaccine, they will yet again quickly accept the globalists' solution to their latest fear.
