WHERE IS YOUR CITIZENSHIP?
There is a way that seems Right to a man,
But its End is The Way of Death!
Proverbs 14:12
BELOVED, BROTHERS AND SISTERS…..
THE MESSAGE I SHARE WITH YOU IS A VERY DIFFICULT MESSAGE,
THAT COMES WITH A HEAVY HEART AND MANY TEARS.
AS THE VENGEANCE OF AN ANGRY GOD QUICKLY APPROACHES, WE
ALL NEED TO STAY FOCUSED ON JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD!
WE DON’T WANT TO GET DISTRACTED AND/OR DECEIVED AND MISS
GETTING INTO THE ARK OF PROTECTION OF THE LOVE OF GOD IN
CHRIST JESUS. WE WANT TO BE WISE VIRGINS NOT FOOLISH!
SO PLEASE READ THIS SLOWLY AND EVALUATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH JESUS, YOUR HEART, AND YOUR PRIORITIES
ASK YOURSELF: ARE YOU SPENDING MORE TIME RESEARCHING,
DOING AND SHARING THINGS FOR JESUS, THEN YOU ARE SPENDING
TIME WITH JESUS, TO KNOW AND OBEY JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD?
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD MUST BE OUR ONE AND ONLY PRIORITY.
NONE OF US WANTS TO GO TO HELL FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
OF SECRET SINS OR IDOLS IN OUR HEART.
SATAN ENTICES OUR CURIOSITY AND PLAYS TO OUR WEAKNESSES.
REMEMBER THE FIRST SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF
GOD STARTED WITH, SATAN APPEALING TO EVE’S WEAKNESS AND
EVE SATISFYING HER CURIOSITY LUST.
SO PLEASE, RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE WITH A HUMBLE HEART.
AHH…THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB…THE INTERNET!
THE BLESSINGS AND CURSES OF ALMOST ANY INFORMATION ALL
OVER THE WORLD AVAILABLE IN SECONDS AND/OR MINUTES!
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, WHERE PEOPLE SPEND HOURS SEARCHING
FOR KNOWLEDGE AND GATHERING INFORMATION.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, WHERE PEOPLE GO TO SATISFY THEIR
CURIOSITY LUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, WHERE SPENDING “JUST A FEW MINUTES”
INNOCENTLY TURNS INTO WASTED HOURS OF GATHERING WORLDLY
AND USELESS INFORMATION NOT LEADING TO A PURE HEART.
3
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, A PLACE THAT HAS ENTICED, DISTRACTED
AND ENTANGLED MANY CHRISTIANS IN MANY WORLDLY SUBJECTS
TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE WORD OF GOD, SLOWLY DRIFT AWAY INTO
A BACKSLIDDEN CONDITION, AND/OR FALLEN AWAY INTO DARK SIN.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB WHERE MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE BECOME
WORLDLY, CONFUSED, COMBATIVE AND/OR HAVE EMBRACED FALSE
DOCTRINES AND FALSE TEACHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR LAZINESS.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, WHERE THE LORD WHO IS A JEALOUS GOD
IS PROVOKED TO JEALOUSY BECAUSE MANY CHRISTIANS SPEND
MORE TIME READING AND SHARING PROPHETIC EVENTS, THEN
THEY DO READING AND SHARING ABOUT JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD.
NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MANKIND HAVE PEOPLE BEEN
ABLE TO HEAR, SEE, KNOW AND SHARE WHAT IS HAPPENING ALL
OVER THE WORLD IN MINUTES, OR EVEN SECONDS!
NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MANKIND HAVE PEOPLE BEEN ABLE
TO RESEARCH GATHER AND SHARE INFORMATION FROM ALL FOUR
CORNERS OF THE WORLD IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR HOME.
WHAT A GREAT BLESSING!…….OR IS IT….……..MORE OF A CURSE?
IN MATTHEW 24, ALONG WITH MARK 13 AND LUKE 17 & 21 JESUS
EXPLAINS TO US THE SIGNS AND EVENTS AT THE END OF THE AGE.
WARS, RUMORS OF WARS, EARTHQUAKES FAMINES, PESTILENCE,
ETC. TODAY WE CAN GET ANY AND/OR ALL OF THIS INFORMATION
AND KNOWLEDGE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN MINUTES.
THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS HAD
A CURIOSITY AND A HUNGER TO KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
PROPHECY CONFERENCES, PROPHECY BOOKS, PROPHECY SERMONS
YOU NAME IT, IT’S AVAILABLE! ANY TOPIC YOU WANT……RAPTURE
PRE-TRIB, MID-TRIB, POST-TRIB, TEMPLES BEING BUILT, WHO THE
ANTI-CHRIST IS OR WILL BE, BABYLON. IT’S ALL THERE TO FIND!
MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SPENDING HOURS READING, RESEARCHING,
WATCHING, MAKING VIDEOS AND SHARING, WHATS GOING ON IN
POLITICS, WORLD EVENTS, THE ANTI-CHRIST, THE RAPTURE, ETC.
4
MULTITUDES OF CHRISTIANS HAVE BECOME MORE INTERESTED IN
RESEARCHING WORLD EVENTS AND POLITICS THEN RESEARCHING
AND KNOWING THE WORD OF GOD, SO THEY CAN HAVE THE HEART
OF JESUS. A HEART OF LOVE, HUMILITY AND COMPASSION OF JESUS
TODAY, MANY CHRISTIAN AUTHORS, TV CELEBRITIES, INTERNET
PERSONALITIES, PEOPLE BEHIND PUPLITS ETC. HAVE BOASTED
AND/OR EMPHASIZE THEY SPECIALIZE IN BIBLE PROPHECY.
THEY SPEND MORE TIME AND EFFORT SHARING AND EXPLAINING
POLITICS AND WORLD EVENTS THEN THEY DO THE WORD OF GOD!
MANY OF THESE “PROPHECY” AND/OR “LAST DAYS” MINISTRIES
ARE SHARING THINGS THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO
WITH DEALING WITH PEOPLE’S HEARTS AND THEIR SIN!
THEY RESEARCH AND SHARE POLITICS, WORLDLY EVENTS AND
INFORMATION TO PROMOTE THEIR MINISTRY AND BUILD THEIR
NAME, KINGDOMS AND REPUTATIONS, IN JESUS NAME.
IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THIS PROPHETIC INFORMATION BEING
GATHERED AND SHARED, MULTITUDES OF CHRISTIANS KNOW
LITTLE OR NOTHING ABOUT THE SECRET SINS AND IDOLS THAT
ARE DEEP IN THEIR HEART! SINS OF PRIDE, REBELLION, LUST,
IDOLATRY, ETC. HIDDEN DEEP IN THEIR HEART.
THEY ARE TRAVELING UNAWARE DOWN THE BROAD ROAD TO HELL!
WHY?……BECAUSE SADLY, MANY CHRISTIANS KNOW MORE ABOUT
BIBLE PROPHECY, POLITICAL AND WORLD EVENTS, THEN THEY DO,
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR HEART AND OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD
OF GOD. THIS IS NOT THE GOSPEL!
THE APOSTLE PAUL CALLS IT ANOTHER GOSPEL. 2 COR.11
JESUS AND THE APOSTLES ALL PREACHED THE WORD OF GOD!!!
JESUS DID NOT EMPHASIZE END TIME PROPHECY, NEITHER DID
THE BELOVED APOSTLE PAUL OR THE OTHER APOSTLES!
JESUS, PAUL, AND ALL THE APOSTLES WARNED MORE ABOUT BEING
AWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE DOCTRINES IN THE LAST
DAYS, THEN THE POLITICS AND/OR EVENTS OF WHAT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS.
5
THE APOSTLES WARNED PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF FALSE
DOCTRINES, AND FALSE TEACHERS, NOT EVENTS OF THE TIMES.
TODAY, MANY CHRISTIANS IN THEIR ZEAL FOR BIBLE PROPHECY
INFORMATION, ARE NOT SEEKING THE LORD WITH ALL THEIR
HEART OR PURSUING A LIFE CHANGING ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS.
IF CHRISTIANS HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH A HOLY GOD LIKE MOSES
HAD, HAVING A SHINING FACE OR ISAIAH HAD, WHERE HE SAW
THE GLORY OF A HOLY GOD, LIFE WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME!
AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS, THE RESURRECTED SON OF GOD
WOULD TRANSFORM THE HEART OF EVERY CHRISTIAN.
BY HAVING AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS, CHRISTIANS WOULD
REALIZE THAT THE ONLY IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE IS:
TO KNOW THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND JESUS WHOM HE SENT!
LET’S LOOK AT THE BELOVED APOSTLE JOHN, WHO JESUS LOVED.
JOHN WHO RESTED HIS HEAD ON THE BOSOM OF JESUS.
JOHN WHO LISTENED TO THE DIVINE HEART BEAT OF JESUS.
JOHN WHO HAD A CLOSE, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
JOHN WAS ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS, FOR THE WORD OF GOD, AND
THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, WHEN JOHN SAW THE RESURRECTED
JESUS IN HIS GLORY.
JOHN THE DISCIPLE WHO JESUS LOVED, SAW THE TERROR OF
THE LORD AND THE GLORY OF HIS MAJESTY.
JOHN FELL AT THE FEET OF JESUS AS DEAD!
IF THE APOSTLE JOHN, WHOM JESUS LOVED, REACTED LIKE THAT
WHEN HE SAW JESUS, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU AND ME???
PAUL SAYS, THAT KNOWLEDGE MAKES A PERSON ARROGANT,
BUT LOVE EDIFIES, AND IF I UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES AND
ALL KNOWLEDGE BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, IT PROFITS ME NOTHING!
THE LOVE PAUL TALKS ABOUT IS, THE LOVE AND HUMILITY OF
JESUS IN HIS HEART FOR ALL TO SEE, AND THE LOVE FOR JESUS
TO GIVE UP HIS LIFE AND DIE DAILY TO HIMSELF FOR JESUS.
PAUL’S GOAL WAS TO REFLECT JESUS IN EVERY PART OF HIS LIFE!
6
IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE
LAST DAYS. YET, JESUS WARNS US 4 TIMES IN CHAPTER 24, AND 3
TIMES IN MARK 13, AND ONCE IN LUKE 21…JESUS WARNS US 8 TIMES
IN 3 CHAPTERS ABOUT BEING DECEIVED! JESUS WAS MAKING A
POINT. JESUS DID NOT EMPHASIZE ABOUT COMING EVENTS
JESUS WAS EMPHASIZING AND WARNING ABOUT BEING DECEIVED.
JESUS AND THE APOSTLES WARN US MANY TIMES IN THE GOSPELS
AND MANY EPISTLES OF FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE DOCTRINES
FOR A REASON………BECAUSE WE COULD BE DECEIVED!
EITHER BY OUR OWN HEART OR FALSE PROPHETS!!!!
PAUL AND THE APOSTLES WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEARTS
OF PEOPLE AND PREPARING THEM TO FACE THE TERROR OF THE
LORD, AND THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST!
PAUL AND ALL THE APOSTLES WALKED ON THE EARTH AS PILGRIMS
AND STRANGERS. THEY DID NOT WORRY ABOUT WORLDLY EVENTS.
THEY WALKED IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD, WALKING HUMBLY
WITH GOD AND TREMBLED AT HIS WORD.
THEY SUFFERED AFFLICTION FOR THE WORD OF GOD!
PAUL EXHORTS TIMOTHY TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD!
TO BE READY IN SEASON OR OUT OF SEASON….PREACH THE WORD!
THE APOSTLES WERE ENTRUSTED BY GOD TO PREACH THE WORD
OF GOD AND THE GOSPEL! NOT, PROPHECY OR END TIME EVENTS!
WHEN SATAN CANNOT PREVENT SOMETHING
SATAN WILL PERVERT IT! THINK ABOUT THAT!
IF SATAN CAN GET YOU DISTRACTED AND/OR FOCUSED ON BIBLE
PROPHECY OR ANY OTHER SUBJECTS OR TOPICS, OTHER THEN
THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD…..SATAN HAS DONE HIS JOB!
IF SATAN CAN SLOWLY CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT AWAY AND FOCUS ON
ANYTHING BUT LOVING AND OBEYING JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD,
WITH ALL YOUR HEART…..SATAN HAS SUCCEEDED.
IF SATAN CAN DISTRACT YOU BY THE CARES OF THIS WORLD, AND
FOCUS ON ANYTHING OTHER THEN JESUS, SATAN HAS SUCCEEDED.
7
IF SATAN CAN KEEP YOU FROM TREASURING THE WORD OF GOD IN
YOUR HEART SO YOU DO NOT SIN AGAINST A HOLY LOVING GOD.
SATAN HAS AGAIN SUCCEEDED
IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT TRANSFORMS YOUR HEART OF STONE
INTO A HUMBLE SOFT OBEDIENT HEART!
IT IS THE WORD OF GOD THAT CHANGES YOUR LIFE, NOTHING ELSE!
IT IS THE WORD OF GOD WE ARE REQUIRED TO PREACH, TEACH AND
SHARE! WORLD EVENTS AND POLITICS ARE NOT TO BE THE FOCUS!
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD IS TO BE OUR ONE AND ONLY FOCUS!
OTHERWISE WHEN THE VENGEANCE OF GOD COMES, YOU WILL
FIND YOUR HOUSE IS BUILT ON SAND AND YOUR FALL WILL BE
GREAT. ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF END TIME EVENTS WILL MEAN
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE DAY OF GOD’S VENGEANCE!
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE YOUR ONLY REFUGE AND
STRONG TOWER IN THE DAY OF GOD’S VENGEANCE!
JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE YOUR ARK IN THE STORM OF
GOD’S FLOOD OF VENGEANCE!
I AM A PURE 100% ITALIAN, ALL OF MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM ITALY.
YET, I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT WHO RUNS ITALY,
WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. WHAT THEIR GOVERNMENT IS DOING,
ETC………WHY? BECAUSE I AM NOT A CITIZEN OF ITALY!
AS CHRISTIANS (DISCIPLES OF JESUS) WE SHOULD HAVE NO
INTEREST IN WHAT IS GOING ON IN POLITICS OR WORLD EVENTS.
WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN, OUR CITIZENSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO
BE IN HEAVEN. WE ARE TO BE SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES WITH
JESUS. OUR HEART AND MIND ARE TO BE ON HEAVENLY THINGS!
OUR MIND IS TO BE SET ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THE WORLD.
JUST LIKE JESUS, OUR KINGDOM IS ABOVE, NOT OF THIS WORLD.
WE ARE NO LONGER TO BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT WE
ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED BY MEDITATING ON THE WORD OF GOD.
WE ARE TO DESIRE A HEAVENLY COUNTRY THAT IS TO COME!
8
WE ARE PILGRIMS AND STRANGERS, ON THE EARTH. WE DESIRE A
HEAVENLY COUNTRY, WHERE GOD IS OUR GOD, AND WE ARE HIS
PEOPLE. WE ARE IN THE WORLD, BUT WE ARE NOT OF THE WORLD.
LET’S LOOK TO THE WORD OF GOD
PHILIPPIANS 3:20…..For our CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN,
from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
JOHN 17:14-16……(JESUS SPEAKING) I have given them Your Word;
and the world has Hated them because THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD,
just as I am not of the world I do not pray that You should take them out
of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, just as I AM NOT OF THE WORLD.
ROMANS 12:1-2…(PAUL speaking to the New Testament church)
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies
a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of
worship. And DO NOT BE CONFORMED THIS WORLD, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
(The Definition of Conform, according to merriam-webster.com: To be Similar
or Identical;to ACT in Accordance with Prevailing Standards or Customs)
John 18:36…. Jesus answered, “MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD.
If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should
not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
Colossians 3:2..Set your mind on things above, NOT on things on the Earth.
IN THESE VERSES WE SEE A COMMON THEME. IT IS, NOT TO BE OF
THIS WORLD AND/OR THINK ABOUT WORLDLY THINGS.
THE HEART CRY OF THE BELOVED APOSTLE PAUL IS REVEALED IN
PHILIPPIANS 3:10……. that I may KNOW HIM and the power of His
resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2….For I Determined NOT TO KNOW ANYTHING
among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
THE DESIRE OF EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS WITH JESUS SHOULD
BE TO WANT TO KNOW JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD AND ONLY JESUS.
9
IT IS A DECEPTION AND DISTRACTION OF SATAN FOR CHRISTIANS
TO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN POLITICS, OR WORLD
EVENTS. OUR FOCUS MUST BE ON THE WORD OF GOD!
MULTITUDES OF CHRISTIANS ARE NOT BEARING THE FRUIT OF THE
SPIRIT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABIDING IN THE WORD OF GOD OR
NOT ALLOWING THE WORD OF GOD TO TAKE ROOT IN THEIR HEARTS
MATTHEW 13:22…… Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who
hears the word, and THE CARES OF THIS WORLD and the deceitfulness of
riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
NOTICE HOW JESUS IN THE PARABLE OF THE WORD, SAYS THE
CARES OF THIS WORLD WILL CHOKE THE WORD OF GOD IN THE
HEARTS OF PEOPLE AND THEY WILL NOT BEAR FRUIT.
THEREFORE, THEY BECOME A HEARER OF THE WORD AND NOT
A DOER AND BECOME UNFRUITFUL!
WE ARE TO BE SO HEAVENLY MINDED, WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE
OUR BEING IN THE WORD OF GOD.
WE ARE TO BE EPISTLES READ AND KNOWN BY ALL MEN.
WE ARE TO BE A LIGHT SET ON A HILL THAT CANNOT BE HIDDEN!
WE ARE TO BE STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS IN THE WORLD AND ARE
NOT FRIENDS OF THE WORLD, .
WHAT BREAKS GOD’S HEART IS THAT MANY CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE
BEEN RESEARCHING AND TALKING ABOUT BIBLE PROPHECY AND
LAST DAY EVENTS ARE NOT READY FOR THE COMING VENGEANCE.
MULTITUDES OF CHRISTIANS WILL BE TERRIFIED WHEN GOD’S
VENGEANCE TAKES PLACE ONLY TO FIND OUT GOD DID SOMETHING
UNEXPECTED AND THEIR HEART DECEIVED THEM, AND THEY WERE
NOT PREPARED LIKE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE.
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE MEGA
EARTHQUAKE, AND THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICA AND THE
ANARCHY AND CHAOS IT WILL BRING?
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU’RE PREPARED FOR THE YELLOWSTONE
ERUPTION AND THE FAMINE, DROUGHT AND TERROR IT WILL
BRING?
10
REMEMBER…PETER THOUGHT HE KNEW HIS HEART, BOASTING
HE WOULD DIE FOR JESUS, UNTIL PETER DENIED JESUS 3 TIMES.
DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR HEART AND IT’S SECRET SINS AND
THE IDOLS IN IT?
I EXHORT YOU IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF OUR BELOVED SAVIOUR
JESUS CHRIST, EXAMINE YOUR WALK WITH JESUS CLOSELY.
IF YOU ARE SPENDING MORE TIME RESEARCHING AND STUDYING
BIBLE PROPHECY OR OTHER WORLDLY EVENTS AND/OR TOPICS,
REPENT AND FOCUS ON JESUS THE WORD OF GOD ONLY.
KNOWING AND SHARING BIBLE PROPHECY WILL DO YOU NO GOOD
WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE JESUS.
STANDING WITH A PURE HEART OF LOVE FOR JESUS WILL.
I ASK YOU THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND I PRAY THESE
QUESTIONS WILL ENCOURAGE TO HAVE A LIFE CHANGING
ENCOUNTER WITH OUR BELOVED LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED THE GOD WHO IS A CONSUMING FIRE?
HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED HE, WHOSE EYE BURN LIKE FIRE AND
WHOSE COUNANCE SHINES LIKE THE SUN IN ALL IT’S STRENGTH?
HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED THE GOD OF JACOB AND WRESTLED WITH
HIM UNTIL HE BLESSES YOU?
HAVE YOU ASKED HIM WHOSE EYES RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH
OUT THE WHOLE EARTH TO SEARCH YOUR HEART AND
EXPOSE ALL SECRET SINS AND IDOLS?
