The
Bible Is Used To Deceive

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies:
they that hate you shall reign over
you; and ye shall flee when none
pursueth you.
Ezekiel 20:26 ……

A Message From Peter James
Pay Attention
When she was told what she ought
to do, my friend said
‘God had to find another
way’.
What has happened since that
time to the circumstances that she was experiencing?
It certainly has not been
resolved, and neither has it become any better.
What about you?
You might not say those
words, but is this also your attitude?
Have you created your own
mitigating circumstances,
in order not to carry out
what you were told?
Recently, I was lectured for
around 40 minutes on what is expected from
a Christian, as we wait on
Christ to return, and sort out the mess. We have to do nothing, just wait
patiently. This is just not true. I had
done nothing to deserve this quite unexpected dressing down. I agreed with much
that was said, regarding focusing on Christ, and that He was the solution to
all our problems, also that we are not saved by works. However, the conversation terminated very
abruptly when I said, of course we are not saved by works but obedience is
still required.
We need to realise that
without obedience to either the written word or the spoken word, to us, we can
find ourselves in deep trouble.
Why should God find another
way?
Is He not God?
We must remember that we are
mere dust rushing full speed to return to dust?
The Potter calls the tune,
not the clay.
Jeremiah 18:6 O house of
Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?
saith
the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter‘s hand, so are ye
in mine
hand,
O house of Israel.
It is quite staggering how we
can allow pride to cloud our vision, and indeed our perception of the reality
of our condition.
I am surrounded by situations
which are crying out for resolution.
People are suffering
needlessly, because they believe that they are right,
and God has to find another
way. Paradoxically these very same individuals believe that in the not too
distant future, they will be Kings and Priests, or raptured away to some safe
haven. They have chosen to gorge themselves from the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, therefore they have become blind, and they do not even know it.
Revelation 3:14 ¶ And unto the angel
of the church of the Laodiceans write;. . . .
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need
of
nothing; and knowest
not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor,
and
blind, and naked:
I would like to make it very
clear that I am not claiming to be the font
of all knowledge, nor that
you will not find errors on my website. In fact our Rhema has clearly stated that
there are errors on the site, and that is in spite of our very best efforts.
I try to be very meticulous
in the messages which I post, and in the things which
I say, because I am fully
aware that I am accountable.
Some of the errors were a
great shock to me.
One example of this is that
we were shown how utterly corrupt are most of the over 400 translations of the
bible.
When errors are pointed out,
I try to correct them or state clearly that there
is a problem, and where the
problem has occurred.
In His mercy the Eternal God
continues to lead us into all Truth, often this can
be painful, however, Truth is
Truth, and that will never change.
It is we that have to change.
I was recently told by
someone who is regarded as a scholar, that there were only a couple of
translation errors between the New King James, and the King James. The
implication is that there is nothing to be worried about.
The reality is that there are
2289 words omitted from the New King James,
and The NKJV has introduced
between 80,000 to 100,000 word changes,
not
counting all the 'thee's and 'ye's.
It
has changed the meaning of literally hundreds of verses, and needlessly
altered
thousands of words it has in other places translated just as they are in
the
Authorized Version they are supposedly revising.
See: The
Bible Used To Deceive
We need to throw our theology out of the window, and let the
inspiration,
of the Holy Spirit guide us.
Quoting
the bible is not a sign of authenticity.
It is
our conduct that is important.
Satan
is always quoting the bible and he uses it to lead people into error.
Many Satanic groups use and quote the bible.
We all have to humble ourselves, if we are to progress,
there is simply no other way.
When we say that God has to find another way,
it places us in a position above God.
It means that as the Roman Catholics teach, the priest,
right up to the pope,
makes demands that God has to meet.
He has no choice.
This teaching and practice is outright blasphemy, and
Idolatry.
I know of many instances where people have been told
what they need to do,
and for one reason or another they have not complied.
The end result is that they live a life of confusion,
and suffer needlessly, some right up to the point of
contemplating suicide.
I will repeat something I have stated previously.
Often we can be told to
do something that has no apparent bearing on our circumstances.
We then let our adversary get the
upper hand over us as we engage our superior intellect, knowledge, and
reasoning power, to work our way out of our dilemma,
rather that simply obeying what we
have been told.
The end result is a disaster.
I see it all the time.
Even in areas in which I have a
small amount of expertise, with computers.
I wonder why did the people bring their problems to
me?
They already seem to have all the answers.
Why didn’t they simply carry out their ideas
themselves?
I might say this is what we have to
do.
They might then say, but I have done that many times
before, and it didn’t make
and difference, or I cannot see how that is related
to the problem in hand.
Worse, often they have a better idea, and because of
this we move into the area
of selective listening.
I say do this.
They say yes, but do not carry out the instruction.
When I think that we are doing the same thing, we are
not.
The end result is futility.
Computers are wonderful instructors
for patience, obedience, humility,
and perseverance.
Satan told Eve that there was a
better way, and he offered it to her even without her even asking for it.
Of course liar that he is, Satan seduced her, and
made her sin.
John 8:44 Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because
there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for
he is a liar, and the father of it.
Since then we have all suffered as
a consequence.
Genesis 2:4 And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
It
is Satan who deceives us into thinking that there is a better, and often easier
way.
Naaman is a classic example.
He was a
great and honorable man, but he was a leper.
2 Kings 5:1 Now Naaman,
captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had
given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
The king
of Syria listened to the advice of a captured Israeli maid, and decided
to send
Naaman to Israel to be healed.
He
thought that the command, supported by a lot of wealth, ensured success.
2 Kings 5:5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I
will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and
took with him ten talents of silver,
and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of
raiment.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of
Israel, saying,
Now when
this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman
my
servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
Here we can see arrogance in the attitude, as he made demands on the king of Israel
When
Naaman, and his entourage arrived, the king of Israel was distraught,
until
Elisha came to his rescue.
2 Kings 5:8 And it was so,
when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king
of
Israel had rent his clothes,
that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes?
let him come now to me, and he shall know that there
is a prophet in Israel.
9 ¶ So Naaman
came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door
of the
house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven
times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
Elisha’s
advice was very simple.
Go
and wash in Jordan seven times, and thou shalt be clean.
Naaman had it all worked out.
He had
reasoned how his healing should occur.
2
Kings 5: 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and
said, Behold, I thought,
He
will surely come out to me,
and
stand,
and
call on the name of the LORD his God,
and
strike his hand over the place,
and
recover the leper.
Imagine
the humiliation, when Elisha did not even turn up himself,
but
sent a messenger to tell Naaman what to do.
Furthermore
he had no doubt whatsoever that the rivers of Damascus were better than all the
waters of Israel.
2
Kings 5: 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of
Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be
clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
For all
eternity Naaman will have to be grateful to his servants, who were much wiser
than he was.
2
Kings 5: 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My
father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest
thou not have done it?
how much
rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
He
obeyed, and was healed.
2
Kings 5: 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan,
according to the saying of the man of God:
and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of a little child,
and he was clean.
Did the Eternal God find a better way?
Of
course not.
Naaman
simply had to pay attention, and to obey.
It was
not the washing that cured his leprosy.
It was
Naaman’s obedience, under duress, I might add.
If he
had not carried out Elisha’s instruction, he would have had leprosy
until
the day that he died.
The
question for us is this.
Is
there a humiliating situation waiting around the corner to bring us to our
senses?
Surely it must be much better to Pay
Attention now, rather than to have a harsh
humbling experience
to bring us to our
senses?
Our
Rhema clearly states that most will have to go through the Tribulation before
the wake up.
This is
very sad.
The
Tribulation is the time when the rebellious are given into the hand of Satan,
who does not know the meaning of the word
‘mercy’.
Deception,
Torture, Suffering and Death are his full time occupation.
Do not
give him a legal right to have you.
He accuses you daily before the Eternal God.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard
a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom
of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down,
which
accused them before our God day and night.
Don’t let your minister deceive you.
It is
not a matter that what you do makes you feel good.
The
‘Peace’ that permeates a true believer passes all understanding.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which
passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
It is
just there.
It is
tangible.
It is
real.
It
requires no words.
Peace surrounds
a true believer not confusion.
Often,
we have no concept at all, that what we are told to do, or not to do, would
produce the results that our obedience or disobedience incurs.
Adam and
Eve had no clue regarding the havoc that their disobedience would cause.
Neither did they have any idea that their rebellion would affect literally
billions of people for thousands of years.
I know
of children that are suffering simply because their parents have refused
to carry
out the instructions that they were given.
These
same parents appear to be ‘good Christians’, who love their children.
None the
less the children continue to suffer.
We all
seem to have the inbuilt attitude that says yes Lord, we hear what you have
said, but you know that I do not like doing the particular thing that you asked
me to do.
We then reason, I will do some other ‘good work’, that I
prefer to do, and please let that be acceptable in your sight.
Are we
out of our tiny minds?
Do we
think that Christ enjoyed being rejected, scourged, crucified,
and
having the sins of the world dumped on Him?
Why do
we think that we are told that we have to take up our cross?
Do we
think that this is a small or easy thing?
Mark 8:34 And when he had
called the people unto him with his disciples also,
he said
unto them, Whosoever
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
We need to get it into our heads that any thing at all that the Eternal
God
says to us is very important.
Whether
we understand it or not, we had better pay attention and obey.
If
we fail to do this inevitably we will deservedly suffer needlessly.
We have to be clear that if we are actually disobeying what we have already been told to do, Fasting and Praying are of no use whatsoever.
We can have the whole world praying for us, it will make no difference,
unless of course they are praying for us to repent, and to obey.
Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not thou for
this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they
cry unto me for their trouble.
Jeremiah 14:11 Then said
the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt
offering
and an
oblation, I will not accept them: but I
will consume them by the sword,
and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Fasting
and Praying are important,
but
first of all, we have to be obeying and not in ‘rebellion’.
If we
are actually practising what I am saying, we are in fact showing
by our
living that,
‘we have
found a better way’,
rather
than obey, we will pray.
You can
believe whatever you want to believe, it just does not work that way.
You
simply cannot be flapping around as a dynamic ‘Christian’, when in reality you
are in rebellion against the clear word of the Eternal.
Almost
everyone to whom I have spoken recently has told me the very same thing, they
are exceedingly busy.
I am
sure that they all are. See: Thief of Time
I
just wonder how many entries our busyness will accrue in the book of life.
These
are important things to consider because we have been told that time is almost
up, and that Christ will return in the life time of most of us.
Pay
attention.
It is not what others think that matters, but rather what the Eternal God thinks. Of course we should not go around condemning others, we should concentrate first of all on sorting ourselves out.
We can easily fool those around us, but remember that we should not judge
simply by sight and hearing, but rather righteous judgment.
John 7:24 Judge not according to
the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment.
This was
how Christ operated.
Isaiah 11:3 And shall make him
of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge after
the sight of his eyes,
neither
reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Can you
see how very important all these things are in this time of severe crisis,
which
will only get worse.
There
is much to be seriously considered in this document.
As I told someone recently Mid December 2006, I was at a meeting a good while ago, and there was a discussion where a couple of people said that God does not speak to us today. I interjected, and said that not only does God speak, but that He had spoken to them, but that they did not like what they heard.
They
said that is true, he had been spoken to them,
but as
they did not like what they heard, they chose to ignore it.
Of
course that is a great folly.
In one
breath they claimed to be ‘Christians’, in the next breath they were happy to
publicize their rebellion, and to treat it very lightly.
We might
well get away with selective listening to what our fellowman tells us,
but it will never work with the Eternal God.
Other
times we always want to be right, a sort of show of superiority.
This is
also silly.
Some time
ago someone explained in writing what he thought that a scripture meant. I
wrote a document, and posted it on the web and I gave what I felt was a much
more accurate explanation, without making any mention of this person.
Later
when I saw him, he then gave me the explanation of my document,
as if it
was all his own work.
It does
not make any difference to me whatsoever, but we certainly need to realise that
it is very possible that in some cases we might well be wrong,
and
suffer as a consequence.
This
person is in confusion.
We are
told that confusion is not of God.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is
not the author of confusion, but of peace,
as in
all churches of the saints.
Sometimes
we need to listen attentively, and acknowledge our error,
at least
to ourselves.
One
problem is that often we do not like the messenger, who is used to help us.
I
remember I gave a sermon in a church long ago, and immediately after the
meeting, one person came up to me, and got a minister’s attention, so that he
could hear what I was going to be told. I was quite relaxed about the whole
thing. He then said “That message would have been a good one,
if it
had been give by anyone else but you”.
I am
telling you all these things so that you can see how very easy it is to let
prejudice of one sort or another cause us to stumble, and to miss the mark.
If you
are not paying attention, focussing on Christ, and dealing with the attacks
launched against us in the proper manner, you will end up in trouble.
I
suggest to everyone, who has heard from the Eternal God directly, or by a
genuine word from a servant of the Most High God, or who has been pointed to a
word of scripture, that they carefully review what they have been told, and see
if they have carefully carried out what they have been told to do, without
making any excuses whatsoever.
I am
convinced to the uttermost that negligence, carelessness or even rebellion in
the above area, can sometimes be
the root cause of many of our problems, including finances and health.
Do not
make the mistake of thinking that you cannot see any link between your problems
and what you have failed to do, and that your lack of obedience does not really
matter.
The only
link might be obedience.
How
could walking around the city of Jericho for 7 days cause the walls to tumble
down?
Joshua 6:2 And the LORD
said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king
thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye
men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six
days.
4 And seven priests
shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns:
and the
seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times,
and the
priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they
make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound
of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of
the city shall fall down flat,
and the
people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
What is
the relationship between being silent for 6 days, shouting on the seventh day,
and walking around the city for 7 days?
The only
relationship was obedience to what they were told.
If they
had walked around the city for 5 days, shouting, and then they thought,
this is
a waste of time, and quit, Jericho would not have fallen.
I have to mention that the problems of which I have experience are literally worldwide, Britain, Europe, Africa, New Zealand, America, Canada and the Caribbean. I also know that the very same conditions exist in other areas, not mentioned because the same Satanic systems are in place.
We
need to be very careful that at no time we follow men, but rather we need
to
seek guidance from God. We
must pay attention, listen and obey.
Men,
who are themselves lost and in confusion, can only lead their followers astray.
It
has come to my attention that offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God,
are
enforcing the following rule.
If
members of your family do not belong to the same organisation as you do,
you
are forbidden to visit, or stay with the non member family members.
You
are to utterly disassociate yourself from them.
That
supposedly Christian group has practices right out of Satan’s top drawer.
Pay attention
Seek
your own guidance from the Eternal God on this Satanic abomination.
Quit the church, your salvation is not at risk by this
lie from our adversary.
Revelation
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate.
This
what the Eternal hates.
Definition
of Nicolaitanes:
From
Niko, “to conquer” and laos, the people, or laity.
So this
is referring to the Clergy lording it over their members.
If this
applies to you, then you are suffering needlessly.
Obey the
command to come out of Babylon before it is too late.
See: You
live in Babylon
The
point is simply this.
If you have
received ‘Rhema’, or you might call ‘Guidance’, over the past year
or two,
go over it carefully, and see if there is anything that you might have missed,
or if there is something on which you might need further clarification, then
seek it.
It can
quite easily be the case that some of the problems that you are experiencing
might be directly related to something that you have not done,
and that
you have been told to do.
Carefully
consider your condition, and relate it to how the Eternal God says that
we
should be. Then take the appropriate action.
Here is
the final reason why it is so very important to ‘Pay Attention’.
Your
very survival will depend on it in the coming days.
Whilst
some are playing intellectual mind games, the battle now, and in the future is
a very real hot war, and it is going to get substantially hotter.
Be in no
doubt that there are going to be casualties.
There
will be, and the less prepared you are, the greater is the chance that you will
be a victim, rather than one who is walking and living in the victory of
Christ.
Our
constant message has been, cut out the middle man and have a direct
relationship
with the Eternal God. See: What Must
I Do Now ?
We have
been repeatedly told that right now we should be fighting against Satan, in the
name of Christ, and to overcome him by the blood of the Lamb.
We must
not try to do this in our own strength, as it cannot be done.
Do not
just wait on the big war to come. It does not work that way.
There
are many daily battles to be fought now. You have to be victorious in small
things before you can be engaged in big battles.
We need
to be fully practised in dealing with the situations that we encounter
on a day
to day basis. If we cannot do this now
in a time of relative calm,
how are
we going to cope when all the powers of hell are let loose as they soon will
be? The answer is that we will not be able to do so.
So in
effect this is a call to arms.
In the West
Indies when we expected a hurricane, we prepared for it in the best way that we
could. We closed the storm shutters, and put on external battens to try to
ensure that the windows and doors did not fly open.
We also
have to be prepared.
I
alluded to this earlier, check carefully and see if by any chance we might be
doing something that is giving Satan a legal right to harass us, when this
should not be happening.
It is
for this reason I am saying check your Rhema.
If we
give any opening, Satan will be in like a shot.
The
forces that are going to come out of the ‘pit’, already exist,
they are
all ready to go.
Our
Rhema in 2003 said
“JESUS
CHRIST IS COMING BACK TO THIS EARTH IN YOUR LIFETIME.”
I
hope that we can see the urgency.
Am I
pointing a finger at anyone?
Hardly.
We are
all in the exact same boat.
Let us
all seek to be careful, to pay attention, and to be meticulous about what
we have
been told to do.
This can
be a great turning point in all our lives.
The only way out
of our dilemmas is Jesus Christ.
He is the
only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord
Jesus.
Amen.
