Dear Newswatch Magazine Listeners/Readers:
T
he world is not always what it seems to be. Former
President Franklin D. Roosevelt stated: "No-thing
happens in the political by accident. It is all planned
behind the scenes."
Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati, told his adepts that if they were discovered just change their name. By changing names, it would throw people off their trail for awhile. So it has been throughout the last two centuries, changing of names to hide the guilty who are trying to impose a World Government of MIS-rule upon the people's of the world.
When Jesus Christ came into human flesh to live a perfect life, He acknowledged that Satan was given the power to rule. In both Matthew 4 and Luke 4 Jesus was offered rulership over the entire world if He would only commit idolatry and worship him. Jesus refused. He has now qualified to become the King of kings and Lord of lords when the true Kingdom of God is established. Satan will be banished into a "place of restraint" for 1000 years (Rev. 20:1-3).
Jesus came preaching the "Good News" of the perfect government that would be established in God's time table. He is allowing Satan's MIS-rule today along with man's greed to teach the human race that there can never be complete happiness and perfection without obedience to His perfect Law combined with a CHANGE of our minds from one of greed and selfishness to one of love and service to others. This can only be accomplished by allowing God's Holy Spirit to come inside of our minds to CHANGE our carnal nature TO God's divine nature.
God is hand selecting a few men and women in comparison to the world's population to pre-pare for rulership today. "Many are called, but few are chosen." God puts the call out through our radio out-reach and your personal contact. The call is telling people they can have their sins forgiven, THEN they can start living by EVERY word of God - the law and the testimony (Isaiah 8:16, 20). We must live BY the Laws that will govern the kingdom today to show God we really mean business. His Spirit will then give us the spiritual power to "put to death" the sins of the body that we once let dominate our lives.
Not everyone that starts the race for immortality will endure unto the end as Christ instructed. To be exact, He worded it by saying "he that endures unto the end shall be saved." He indicated that not all would have the resolve, staying power to ENDURE! That's why Paul said that each one of us is to "make our calling and election sure."
Something as important as IMMORTALITY and RULERSHIP with Jesus over the nations of the earth must be grasped in our minds or we will faulter when the going gets rough. Jesus said He shed His blood so we could be redeemed and be made "kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth" (Rev. 5:9-10).
I've watched with great curiosity as many have come and gone over the last 35 years. Nice people - but for some reason they did not get the BIG picture of who they were now and who they were to become at the Seventh and Last Trump! RESULT: the sleightest problem that would be brought to their attention would cause them to stumble; excuses were made for their conduct; rumors of the tongue without verification of them would cause people to stumble. That's WHY Paul wrote the church of the Thessalonians to not let lies, rumors, false reports, and spirits cause them to fall (2 Thes. 2:1-3).
Jesus sifts His church when sin enters into it. He will always bring to the surface sins that are not being repented of to cleanse the church. That is why EACH one of us should always examine ourselves to make sure we are IN the faith with a pure conscience toward God and our fellow brethren. To make sure we never put a stumbling block in the path of a new person or older in the faith. We should be "a light" - NOT A TRUMPET - to the world. Jesus said that others should SEE our good works - NOT hear about them.
Jesus will come suddenly for His true saints. It is each one of our responsibilities to see to it we are being prepared to meet Jesus - either NOW if death were to take us or at His coming if we are alive. Nothing is to come between what God's word tells us to do!!! NOTHING!
We must catch the vision for our future if we hope to survive spiritually when powerful miracles begin to be performed by the "false prophet." The Bible says they will be so powerful that "IF it were possible, they would deceive the very elect."
Are we guarding our minds and thoughts? Are we developing the TRUE love of God and love for our brethren as ourselves? Are we PLACING Jesus and the Father first in our thoughts and actions? Are we seeking God's kingdom FIRST and His righteousness? Time will tell what each of us is doing and how we have answered these questions.
Sincerely,
David J. Smith
