TRUTH FOR TODAY
“Fix these words of mine in
your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols
on your hands and bind them on your
foreheads.”
Our motive in ministry is always
to direct people toward Jesus Christ, His Word, and His
kingdom; to make mature disciples, with Christ formed
within; and to unite the body of Christ in the faith.
Our Truth For Today messages, as well as those in the Messages
section, are written to help accomplish those purposes.
They must be studied and meditated upon to be
understood. They cannot just be skimmed over.
Therefore, beginning with today's message, the Truth for Today messages will be published regularly on
Mondays and as the Lord leads at other times. We will
sometimes add additional Scriptures that can be studied
throughout the week for a more in depth study of
certain messages. We encourage you to study and
meditate on these messages and the accompanying
Scriptures and give yourself to prayer and study of
God’s Word each and every day.
Deuteronomy 11:18-20 (NIV) tells
us: Fix these words of mine
in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your
hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to
your children, talking about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and
when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your
houses and on your gates ...
As this Scripture indicates, the
word of God must be studied until they are fixed in our
hearts and minds, talked about, prayed about, and
taught to others. We encourage you to give yourself to
prayer and the study of the Word of God each and every
day. We hope the messages here will aid you in doing
that and in your spiritual growth.
As we begin this transition, we
thought it was important to revisit the message,
“Prophetic Warning.” We would like to ask
you to please study and meditate on these words and the
Scriptures and pray this week that the Church would
have ears to hear. The corporate Church hearing begins
with each individual hearing and doing the Word. We
welcome your comments and input.

PROPHETIC WARNING
The Holy Spirit spoke this
prophetic warning in my spirit several months ago. I am
including it here because I believe it is a warning for
all of the Church. I have an ongoing sense of urgency
that is increasing in intensity rather than decreasing.
I beseech you to study and pray over the following
Scriptures. There are lessons to be learned from Ezekiel 12:17-28 and from 2 Peter 3:1-9. Pay close attention to Ezekiel 12:22,27 and 2
Peter 3:2-5.
True disciples of Jesus Christ must
mobilize to accomplish God’s will and purposes
and to fight the spiritual warfare that is necessary to
prevent Satan’s plans and purposes. Those who
desire to forsake all and follow Jesus Christ must be
led of the Holy Spirit into the unity of faith. All
preconceived notions of God and His Word must be put
aside. Pride and stubbornness must be repented of and
humility must be worked within all true Christians.
True disciples must yield to the Holy Spirit as the One
who will lead them into truth. Those who have ears to
hear must take heed and mobilize!
Before the attack on Pearl Harbor
there were enough warnings to prepare our nation, if
people had paid attention. The same is true concerning
September 11, 2001. The prophets of the Old Covenant
gave many warnings that, for the most part, went
unheeded. We cannot afford to make this mistake.
There are too many voices in the
Christian Church! Well-meaning Christians are too often
being led in the wrong direction. It is time to forsake
man’s religion and to follow Jesus Christ. There
are no options to following Jesus. There is only one
Bible. There is not a Pentecostal Bible or a Baptist
Bible. There is one Holy Bible for all true disciples.
There are no private interpretations in the Church that
Jesus is building. Don’t be blinded by some
pseudo unity and cheap grace that uses a mushy love to
give reason to continue to go our separate ways. There
is only one Way. He has only one body. He has only one
Bible to build our lives on, and please know that I am
not speaking of any certain translation of the Bible.
The winds and the waves are fast
approaching. There may be small winds that are almost
unnoticeable to those who are distracted by the cares
of life and of modern religion. The shame is that some
will stay distracted even after the big winds come. It
is time to get undistracted. It is time to mobilize by
the Holy Spirit and under the Flag of The Lord. It is
time to heed prophetic warnings before the winds begin
to blow. Jesus Christ personally gave prophetic
warnings that were fulfilled in A.D. 70. Some listened,
but most did not. Today, He is giving warnings by His
Holy Spirit through His prophets. Many, if not most, of
those who call themselves apostles and prophets have
taken those titles for themselves; there are, however,
the true gifts found in Ephesians 4—apostles,
prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—and
they are real.
There are real pastors today, and
there are real prophets. FIND
THEM! They will not be
giving you somebody’s opinions. If you have been
called of God and have been sharing a mixture of
God’s Word and man’s word, then repent and
help prepare God’s people.

“Son of man, look, the house
of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is
for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far
off.’ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the
Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any
more, but the word which I speak will be done,”
says the Lord GOD.’” Ezekiel 12:27-28
