Winds of Change

11/13/11

 

It is a very windy 1st day of the week as I sit in my office at my computer desk looking out the window.  The winds make me think about the changing weather and how the nice Autumn weather will eventually turn to Winter snow and ice.  But the winds also make me think about the changing world in which we live. 

 

Change Agent:  Those who act as a catalyst for change.

 

Politicians and Presidents actually speak much about change, but what change are they actually speaking about?  There has been a very evident shift to the left among all facets of our society.  Even those on the right have unknowingly made the shift.  It has been said that the conservatives of our day would have been the liberals of yesteryear.  If the right has moved that far to the left, just how much farther has the left moved to the left?  The present trends of the world is a leftist shift toward Socialism.  Their desire is the complete destruction of our way of life that we cherish here in the United States of America.  The change agents have been very diligent and hard at work and it looks as if they have been very successful, as is evident in the changes we see in our society.  If the USA falls so falls the world! 

 

Our very President speaks of change and was at one time a very successful community organizer.  All of these occupy wall street events are nothing more than the doings of a change agent.  Their goal is not only the destruction of our society but the merger of all nations into a one world system, which will bring about the greatest wave of persecution against Yah's people that the world has ever known. 

 

That system will also have a religious aspect to it as well.  We have Socialists, Capitalists, Islamist, Catholics and other such groups fighting it out for control.  Somehow, someway either by destruction or merger, a one world government and religion will emerge.  The daughters of the Whore Church (Rev.17) are coming home to mommy through the modern unity and ecumenical movements.  You will continually see mergers of such groups that will overlook truth and sound doctrine in order to have unity.  Have you ever heard of Chrislam? (Matt.24; Rev.13; 18:4) 

 

The most distraught change has come in the churches of Christianity.  They also have moved to the left with a much more liberal stance on morals and even how they perceive as "sin."  Sin is no longer so sinful to this modern Church.  The satan is a great change agent.  He has infiltrated the Churches of Christianity with His own secret agents to affect change upon the hearers sitting in their congregations.  "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Messiah. And no marvel; for the satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." 2nd Cor. 11:13-15

 

And so the old proverbial growing snow ball of false doctrine has so overwhelmed Christianity that Messiah actually was forced to make the prophetic statement "............when the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8b  Yes, He will find faith, but the inference is that faith will be hard to find.

 

Faith:  Strong's Concordance G4102

From G3982; persuasion, that is, credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of Yahweh or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Messiah for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Good News) truth itself: - assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.

G3982

A primary verb; to convince (by argument, true or false); by analogy to pacify or conciliate (by other fair means); reflexively or passively to assent (to evidence or authority), to rely (by inward certainty): - agree, assure, believe, have confidence, be (wax) content, make friend, obey, persuade, trust, yield.

 

Faith has a much broader meaning that to just believe and have the assurance of Yahshua for our eventual salvation, which should always be its primary meaning..... but it also means to be so persuaded of truth to the point of being constant in your belief as being faithfully loyal through obedience by yielding oneself to the authority of the Messiah as Master.

 

But many in today's liberal Christianity are not constant in the original Apostolic Truth.  They have fallen for the change agents who are disguised as ministers of righteousness, when in reality they are the ministers of the satanwho's mission is to deceive, even if they don't know they are being used for that purpose.

 

Most of today's Christianity are not loyal as in being in true fidelity unto Messiah.  They have become as spiritual harlots and adulterers by not remaining true to their spiritual husband but rather have gone out whoring themselves with the ways of the world.  They will not yield themselves unto the authority of the Mastership of Messiah, but rather yield unto disobedience and to their own will.  And so little by little the sect of Christianity has fallen into moral decay.  Many not only defend but actually engage in immoral and non-scriptural activities.

 

Yes change has come to these Churches as well.  They no longer even know of the scriptural way of living according to the precepts of a living El.  Yahweh has set down the standards in His Torah law of commandments.  Those standards show us the way that He expects His people to live.

 

There is one who is constant and without change. 

"For I am the Yahweh, I change not......" Malachi 3:6a

"Yahshua Messiah the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."  Hebrews 13:8

 

Messiah does not change.  Sin is still sin to Him.  (1st John 3:4) Yesterday, (during the old covenant times) and today, (during the times of the re-newed covenant) and forever. (on into the prophetic future until sin will be no more)

 

Yahweh has His own change agents. He has true ministers and true people who not only trust Him for their salvation, but they also are loyal and obedient unto His ways, yielding themselves to His will.  They teach a righteous change.  Repent or perish! (Luke 13:3)
