LIFE WILL LEAD THE WAY - PART 2 Thomas N. Tabback | February 18, 2012 | Print Article Brothers and sisters, have you not yet seen the Lord your God witnessing before your eyes and speaking into your ears how He has ordained that Life will lead the Way to Restoration? When you see how something like oral contraceptives—wrongly viewed as trivial and innocuous by the preponderance of the church in America—take center stage in the national debate, when you see that the world’s chemotherapy treatment for cancer is more deadly than the cancer itself, when the pink ribbon society known as Susan G. Komen, proclaims its purpose is for the preservation of female life, yet kneels before Planned Parenthood’s altar of death, and when you see the tragic death of Whitney Houston, so gifted by the Lord her God, yet ravaged by drugs this world prescribes under the guise of making life more bearable, you are seeing the Lord’s witnesses rising against this nation’s wicked obsession with death. "Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." "Yes, we will come to you, for you are the LORD our God.” —Jeremiah 3:22 This is what the Lord has seen in our nation and in the heart of the church in America, which calls itself by His Name: ‘So great is your love for the darkness of this world, you care not for My sheep. So great is your love for yourselves, you let My sheep die in their sins. It is because you have forsaken My Name, which alone gives life, that the land which I gave you descends into death.’ This land is overrun with false shepherds, wolves in disguise. They are wizards and magicians, exhausting themselves as they spin the Word to their own advantage—as if Christ can be spun! They say, “Feed the poor, clothe and shelter them, put money in their wallets and DO NOT FORGET THEIR DRUGS!” Does a true man of God point to medicine in the world or does he point to the Physician who sits at the Right Hand of Power? Yes, the man of God points to the One who has authority to cure all illness and disease and gives life eternal to all who seek Him. I am not saying this as one who merely believes this is true, but as one who has witnessed the power of God made manifest right here in this very age. He is healing, He is curing, He is saving and He will resurrect! I want you to know that even before Christ comes in the clouds of heaven, this generation will see once more the awesome power of the Most High. We will fulfill the Words of Him whose reign is everlasting: “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” —John 14:12 ‘Woe to the false shepherds who lead my people to destruction,’ saith the Lord our God. In the name of “prosperity” they speak well of Christ, even pay homage to His Name, but so did Judas Iscariot. Did not this betrayer kiss the Messiah on the cheek at the very moment of his betrayal? Did this son of Satan not accompany Christ all the days of His Gospel journey, playing the part of an apostle? Did he not scorn Mary for anointing Christ for His burial, suggesting that perfume should have been sold and the money given to the poor? So it is with the many heads of the denominated church in America today. They hold back their perfume from Christ and hoard money. They feed the stomach and kill the spirit. They are hired hands, mercenaries for the enemy, appointed not to pasture the sheep, but to lead them to slaughter. They will be humbled, their tongues will be taken from them, their black and red garments stripped from them and their shame revealed. Their knees will be bent with the iron rod of Him who Judges from heaven. Yea, these things shall soon come to pass, but not by human power, lest man accredit himself. Brother and sisters, do not follow after false teachers, who claim to be shepherds after Christ’s own heart, yet bear the bitter fruit of the liar. They speak of love, but inwardly they are full of hate. They promise life, but they have none themselves and therefore do not even know what it is to have life. The sword is in the Hand of the Judge, and He prepares to smite His nation for the evil we have done. Both the righteous and the wicked will perish, because one cannot uproot the weeds without also damaging the fruit. This season is the last we have been given to turn this nation from its wickedness that we might appeal to the Lord’s Healing Hand and be restored like He once restored Nineveh. A scorching wind from the barren heights is coming, and who can survive it? Surely not those who persist in evil, who guard their wallets, but not their children, who uphold liberty in rebellion against the Word, and who protect their property by subjecting the poor, the alien, the widow and the orphan to a multitude of injustices. Yes, you rebellious people shall be as a lofty cedar cut down. Once you were planted like an olive tree, made fruitful by the Living God, and you were beautiful in His sight, but now you have become barren and dry. How easily your branches will be broken off and how quickly they will turn to ashes in the flames. At that time this people and Jerusalem will be told, “A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them.” —Jeremiah 4:11-12 As I keep telling you, even to the point of tears, the Lord our God is lifting up the Sanctity of Human Life as a witness for all His people to see. It is happening in this year’s political contest, in the media, in sports, and most recently in the music industry. Yet, for all this they have not acknowledged the truth. They celebrate lies, for in these they wish to believe, in these they find comfort, but only for a little while. Were the dead to rise from the grave and testify the truth, they would warn us, “Do not honor us, but only Him who gives life. What I once thought profitable I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. Repent! Turn from your wickedness before it is too late, for heaven is real, but so is hell.” "For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them." —Matthew 13:15 Just this morning, I met an East Indian man and asked him if he believed in Jesus Christ. I could already see that he did, but this was an appointment made by God. He said, “Yes, absolutely…” and he named the church he attends. I reminded him how important a question this is to ask of all the strangers we meet, for how can we claim to know Christ's love if we don’t care to know if our brothers and sisters have life? During our brief discussion, this man told me that his home country of India used to have a Muslim population of just 1% in its beginning, but has since swelled to over 33%. Whether this is accurate, I don’t know, but when he cited that Muslims don’t practice “Family Planning” like responsible Christians, I understood why the Lord had led him to me. So I said, “I want you to know that ‘Family Planning’ is a lie of the enemy, who wants to lead us all to death in rebellion against our God, who tells us to be fruitful.” I also told him the truth about the “Family Planning” industry, which first developed birth control pills for the purpose of leading people of color to extinction. You know this is true, because those who follow the enemy are multiplying, while those who are supposed to be following Christ are diminishing by their unfruitfulness. Our Indian brother in Christ understood and received this truth. Do you? As one appointed to boldly declare the truth in this day where truth has never been so unwelcomed since Christ our Lord was crucified, I am telling you that every lie is being made plain for those who desire to know the truth. Remember my family’s recent testimony before two separate Muslim families. They welcomed the truth, but only because they had a genuine interest in hearing it. "So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." —Matthew 6:31-33 In Jesus’ Holy Name I pray that you not only receive these and other truths my family will share with you and all the church in America this year, but take action upon them! Lend no hand to the enemy, but become a testifier of truth yourself. Am I testifying to you only for my benefit and that of my family? I pray I am not, but rather am equipping you to also testify, for this is the sum total of what it means to “seek first the Kingdom of God.” The Lord takes no pleasure in destroying His people. Rather, He wants His people to repent and take courage in Christ, boldly confessing His Name and proclaiming His teachings. He wants us to understand that if we will boldly go forth in Jesus’ Name that He will send His angel before us just as He sent His angel before Israel when they went forth to claim their Promised Land. So too, shall We The Church reclaim this land of promise, if only we will believe that Jesus lives and REPENT. The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. —Deuteronomy 11:10-11 Brother and sisters, you must understand that we are not engaged in a struggle for this physical life, but for life eternal. Our focus and our priority ought not be our flesh, but our souls. What is the totality of my family’s witness to you, except to demonstrate that if you first seek to serve the Lord your God that He will provide? As surely as the Lord lives—and we know He does, because Jesus is risen—He knows all your needs and He will provide for you as He has provided for my family, so long as you put aside your concerns for your flesh, your fortunes, your paneled houses and your pre-planned futures and sell yourselves completely into Christ’s service. However, this you cannot do if you are afraid to lose that for which you have so futilely labored to provide for yourselves in the world. Rebuke this fear in Jesus’ Name and you will be free to serve your Savior as you should. Then you must persevere, no matter the challenge, and never turn back. Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, because she looked back. By this warning God makes something useful of the disobedient, taking salt from Lot's wife's pillar and seasoning our faith so that we will not follow after her example. And this is how you are to serve: Testify Jesus’ Name and all the truths of His teachings, wherever you go and with whomever you meet. Imagine what our brothers and sisters in Christ in Iran would do if given our freedom of speech. When our brother Youcef Nadarkhani is being weighed on the scales of death in Iran, because he chose Jesus’ authority over is government’s, why is it that we are unashamed by the mute tongue of this nation's church? Tune your eyes and ears for opportunities to testify to your brothers and sisters who are either lost or led astray by false shepherds. God will lead them to you if your heart is truly chastened to be His witnesses, and He will teach you what to say by the Holy Spirit, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. I know this is a lot to bear, but time is of the essence. Prayerfully embrace these words, search the Scriptures and obey the Spirit, for out of His unfailing love for His children, God witnesses against our wicked ways that we might not die in our sins, but turn away from them to receive His gift of life. In the Name of our Lord and God, Christ Jesus, I bid you to share this testimony with all the Lord’s children placed in your keep and all whom the Lord sends your way. Restoration begins with awakening, it proceeds with courage and will become reality through faith. Amen. Copyright © 2012 PearlGate, Inc. — All Rights Reserved

SPREADING SEEDS OF TRUTH

As you endeavor to start serving your Savior as you should, which is most perfectly expressed when you testify His Name and His Truth wherever you go and before whichever stranger you meet, do not worry that you are unqualified for this work. If you know Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that the promise of eternal life comes only through faith and obedience in Him, then you have all you need. God will teach you everything else you need along the way, just as He taught His disciples, among whom none were perfect. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. —Philipians 3:13:14
