News Reports
I
apologise for the long delay in updating the News Report. In common with
most ministers and ministries today, I am under constant pressure from
one source or another and rarely find quality time for research and writing.
There
have been a few changes to the site, however, as I slowly make my way
around the hundreds of different sections making adjustments, corrections
and adding new material.

MATERIAL - NEW * NEW * NEW * NEW * NEW *
New
Developments - gold miracle workers try to gag the facts!
One ministry
that is pushing the supernatural manifestations described below reacted
with intimidation and threats, demanding that I remove every detail
of their particulars from my website!
Now, as every
genuine writer knows, quoting one small paragraph from any work, copyrighted
or not, for the purposes of review is perfectly legal, especially
when acknowledgment is given. However, even that acknowledgment in the
form of a weblink is now being challenged. In fact anyone is free to
give a link to another website legally and without asking permission.
Because this
ministry demanded the removal of all quotes and weblinks, I can only
tell you that Darrell Stott is the head of the REVIVE-ALL ORGanisation
on the Internet, and if you do by chance happen to stumble over that
website you will find many examples of supernatural manifestations,
including oil, rocks, glory chips, gold dust, gold teeth, the cloud,
and the purple lightning described below.
You will
discover that, in his own estimation, "God has annointed [sic]
Darrel with many gifts. Darrel loves to minister to the broken hearted
and hurting" and if you want to find out about all the gifts
that Darrel has, he'll be only too glad to tell you on his website,
but you'll have to find it all by yourself I'm afraid because they won't
let me tell you where it is.
DARRELL
STOTT - FAVOURED OF GOD OR FRAUD??
The story goes that in
1999 in Jakata, Indonesia, as he was driving along the street the Glory
Cloud physically appeared - something he'd been seeing since 1994 according
to his story. This cloud actually got into the car beside him through
the windshield. Then it followed him down the street into the hotel.
Later, when he was preaching with another revivalist called Jeff Good
from Greater Life Assembly in Orlando, Florida, this glory cloud physically
appeared, got into the car once more and afterwards followed him to
the church; not only that but it kept reappearing frequently afterwards.
Darrel Stott not only has personal
visitations of the Shekinah Glory that once appeared in the Temple of
God (rendering all the priests insensible and throwing them to the ground
with its might and majesty), but this visitation of God hitches a ride
in Darrel's car and follows him down the street. Impressive.
So let me go on to describe
Darrell's further encounters with God, in the form of purple lightning:
After he left Orlando,
he says, in the airplane going home a bolt of purple lightning shot
across the aisle, circled his head, popped and flashed and danced around
him for some forty minutes. Then it went into a spiral formation around
four foot in diameter, a spinning-wheel of gold right next to him, so
bright it was hard to watch for any length of time. This, says Darrel,
was the brightness and glory of Jesus. After that Jesus appeared to
him as a glory cloud three times in one day. Far from understanding
the significance of all these divine visitations, he asked John Arnott
(kingpin of the Toronto Blessing) for guidance. Arnott reportedly said,
Darrel I think it is all about the closeness of the return of the
Lord.
Interestingly,
not only Darrel Stott but many other practitioners of these supernatural
manifestations see them as precursors to the "return of the Lord"
- BUT, they are no longer talking about the physical, bodily reappearance
of Jesus Christ as described in the book of Revelation, but a spiritual
manifestation IN THE CLOUDS.
They misquote
such verses as this one below to mean that we should expect the coming
of Jesus in a glory cloud!
Mark 13:26
"And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
with great power and glory."
Certainly, there is a growing
expectation of a powerful new move coming, a build-up of signs and wonders,
leading to the appearance of ... somebody!. However, if he comes before
the Tribulation and the Wrath of God who else can he be but the counterfeit
christ?
BULLETIN BOARD
Most
of you will already have realised that the BBB (Banner Bulletin Board)
has ended and has been removed from the site. This was not through want
of activity but for a variety of other reasons - spiritual, personal and
practical.
For
those who missed my announcement at the time, and would like to read my
final message to the BBB community, here it is:
By Tricia Tillin (Admin)
on Sunday, March 11, 2001:
Dear Ones, I feel
such as part of you and appreciate so much your love and prayers. This
has been a personal crisis and a very tough decision for me. I feel
- in honour to you - I should explain just a little of what God is showing
me and where He's leading me. I don't know everything yet but I will
share what I do know and I pray it witnesses with you.
This time of sharing
and fellowship has been very useful and blessed, and I know many have
found friends and fellowship here that they badly needed.
This is perhaps part
of what we might be doing next, moving more into a time of personal
interaction and mutual encouragement rather than the sharing of information;
and to do so "face to face" rather than in a more public arena.
There are good reasons for that and as the Lord leads us on into what
I believe is a new phase of this endtimes battle, we will all surely
begin to see the reasons for what He is doing, even though we do not
fully see it now.
You see, I have slowly
been losing sight of (having been drawn away by busyness and circumstances)
one of the most basic beliefs that undergirds my ministry: that my calling
is to point people to JESUS as the ONLY one who can change, strengthen,
deliver and lead them. My ministry began about 15 years ago with a strong
impression or "picture" of a battlefield with people wandering
about bruised, bewildered and uncoordinated, with no focal point to
rally them or show them direction. On a hill was the battle standard,
the banner of Jesus, and God showed me that I was to draw attention
to and lift up that banner to all who needed direction and were seeking
answers, that HE might be the answer to their need. The foundational
verse of my ministry is:
Isa 62:10-12 Go
through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast
up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for
the people. Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold,
his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call
them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called,
Sought out, A city not forsaken.
And allied to that
is:
Isa 59:19b When
the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift
up a standard against him.
So my calling is not
really as a "discernment minister" or apologetics or anti-cult
minister, one who wars against doctrinal error, although people always
perceived it that way and I grew so weary of trying to correct that
impression that finally I caved in to it as being easier than trying
to explain the differences. I imagined in setting up a forum for isolated
Christians that it would be a useful way of fostering fellowship (and
yes to an extent it has fulfilled that aim) but the way of things, increasingly
and as a natural result of the times we live in, meant that the percentage
of spiritual upbuilding kept being outweighed by the informational and
debating aspects, and without putting a very strong hand on the rudder
which I do NOT believe it's my place to do, I could not prevent that
inevitable course of action taking place.
If I saw myself as
a "leader" to the Church, as a pastor, elder or teacher maybe
I would have "taken charge" here and sat amongst you as one
who pronounced on doctrine and led strongly from the front in making
sure nobody received any false teaching or indulged in iffy thoughts
and practises. However, that is not my proper place. It would also have
required that I had information on many more things than it is possible
for one person to know. But a watchman (especially a female one) does
not set or enforce moral or spiritual codes.
A watchman is called
to do two equal things: to shout out warning of sin and error and to
lift up the truth and person of God. Beyond that he or she has no remit
to *enforce* obedience to God's word, but leaves it to the people to
decide. If you will read the work of the OT prophets or look at the
ministry of John the Baptist (who had the same role in making preparing
for the coming of the Lord) you'll see that they called the people to
repent and recommit to God, and their pointing out of errors was only
in relation to that, not as an end in itself.
Perhaps some of you
have indeed seen for yourselves the differences in my approach, on my
website at least - that my aim is not JUST to "have a go"
at people and organisations, expose people, expose ministries and to
present lots and lots of information on these things, even though that
was a necessary part of it - my aim has always been, by exposing the
roots of error, to lead people to make a new commitment to Jesus as
the Source of all truth, and to renew themselves in holiness and righteousness,
casting out all that is leading them to error, in themselves as well
as in their church lives, including the tendency to the flesh and to
dependency on other people.
However, people being
what they are, oftentimes this backfired and what was asked of me (demanded
of me by many) was simply "information/facts". There's a fatal
flaw in that. Deceptions come and go; they are temporary, but the things
of God are eternal. If a person comes to me asking for information on
Randy Shankle (for example) I can give that maybe - BUT, has that person
grown in grace or become less prone to error as a result? No. Because
although being warned about one aspect of deception, their interior
life and spiritual relationship with Jesus has not changed as a result.
They are just as likely to be in ignorance about the next man they come
across and have to seek information all over again.
The biblical meaning
of "ministry" is a "service" to the Body, and that
service is to present Jesus in whatever way we are enabled -whether
it be by teaching, intercession, spiritual gifts or just handing out
tracts or tea and biscuits. All is to bring people into a deeper walk
with Jesus that protects them against EVERY attack of evil, in whatever
form.
Christians only perceive
the dangers for themselves when they cleanse their minds of what is
contrary to a sound walk and sound doctrine, and when they commit themselves
one hundred percent to God, allowing Him to rule them and guide them.
THAT - dear brothers and sisters - is what I most yearn for. That is
what I must try somehow to do, and that is what we must all do.
The reason may be
that we are now going into deeper waters that require every ounce of
our spiritual fortitude and understanding, and great reserves of faith.
None of this is found by the exchange of information or discussions,
no matter how helpful. There is nothing wrong with those things (don't
get me wrong) but in their proper place and not as a substitute for
developing our faith and coming into a close walk with God.
In the longrun, it
is God the Rock who will shield us, not how much we KNOW. Indeed, I
think that the next deception will attack us in a place where mere knowledge
(even head knowledge of the Bible) will not be enough.
Whosoever does not
have the interior truth (for God requires "truth in the INWARD
parts", not just in word or deed) that remains steady and sure
even when receiving blow after blow from forces seeking to remove it
from its proper place, and whoever cannot find a place of refuge from
the storm in the person and nature of God as well as His eternal truths,
but runs instead to man-made substitutes that give man-made peace -
that person is "double-minded and unstable in all his ways James
1:6-8" and will not come into the blessing. That is the person
who will end up believing the lie, and will betray his brothers and
sisters further down the line.
Whoever does not,
in all sincerity and in deed as well as word, love God above all else
will encounter a terrible stumbling-block soon and merely "knowing
about deception" will be a very poor preparation for that. Much
more is needful, and these things are not found on mailing lists or
bulletin boards but at the feet of Jesus.
So we are dividing,
as a Body, into two regiments here, and not along the lines that we
first perceived (i.e. for or against the revival) but along more subtle
lines that few of us see as yet. The dividing line this time will be
between those who have a genuine heart for God and for truth despite
all variation or pressure from internal or external sources, and those
who love God and want his will in a general sense but who cannot let
go entirely of emotions, hidden desires, controlling influences, soul
ties, family commitments and loyalties, personal ambitions and hopes
and dreams - and a whole host of other "things" that appear
to be perfectly good and godly, but in fact are going to be an encumbrance
in the days to come.
Luke 14:26-30 If
any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he
cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come
after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build
a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation,
and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
That is the dividing
line and whosoever is totally one hundred percent committed to God's
will and is prepared to "forsake all" even his/her own soul
and to DIE to his/her own interests will be on safe ground. All other
ground is sinking sand. Now is the hour of decision and I pray each
of you will be impressed by God that you have your choice to make.
Exod 32:25-26 And
when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them
naked unto their shame among their enemies) then Moses stood in the
gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come
unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto
him.
Josh 24:15 ...
choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods
of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD.
I appreciate each
of you my dearly beloved brothers and sister in Christ, and for two
years you have been my family. I hope therefore that we will ALL be
praying and be ready for our part in what is to come, whatever that
is to be. May God bless you.
Tricia
Oddly
enough (or is it odd in the purposes of God?) the above post to the BBB
covers just about everything personal that I wanted to say here. The months
since that post have not contradicted but only strengthened my impression
that the next broadside loosed against genuine believers will be both
vicious and subtle. Vicious in that it will put pressure upon us
that is almost unendurable; and subtle in that it will hit those parts
that we hadn't thought about protecting (our deepest and most cherished
emotions, our allegiances, ambitions, desires, worries and hidden traumas
etc) in fact so subtle that - to many - it won't seem like an attack at
all.
I
want to say this: be VERY sure that your feet are on the ROCK of JESUS
ONLY, and not on and SANDY foundation. To each one, that will mean something
different so I leave you to pray it through.
One
early attempt to put this into words was a pre-Toronto article entitled
"Spirit of Love" and it's found HERE.
Please read it and think about it.
NEWS IN BRIEF
There
does seem to be a concerted effort going on to bring the New Order to
completion, in the world and in the realm of religion. Things are coming
rapidly to a head. The pope has been extra busy interfering in maters
of politics and religion, trying to draw people together on the basis
of false unity and "forgiveness" which is just a cover for compromise.
He's
visited Greece to apologise to the Orthodox communion, and Syria to apologise
to the Muslims. Church leaders used to be so keen, at one time, to denounce
other religions as being contrary to the plan of God but now political
correctness is being embraced by all, including the pope. He of course
has a vested interest, as he seems to believe that his mission on earth
is to launch us all into a New Era of harmony and peace where all men
are bothers. To which I say - good luck.
One
thing that is bringing all religions together is "spiritual experiences".
These - being personal and subjective - are not "divisive" as
they circumvent empirical proofs and the written word of scripture. All
religions and cults, and most ordinary people too, will accept profound
mystical "experiences" as a valid foundation for change, and
I believe that is one route into the final deception that will grip the
entire world.
SEEING
THE LIGHT
For
instance, listen to this report from a national newspaper that says "Christians,
Jews and Muslims all see the light".
Research
at the University of Wales has detected a common core to experiences which
crosses boundaries of culture and faith - all people share a common spirituality
regardless of religious affiliation, they say. Accounts of spiritual experiences
have been collated since 1969 and about one thousand of them refer to
light. Christians described it as an encounter with Jesus, and Muslims
interpreted it as an angel. Jews saw it as a sign of insight or an experience
with God. The
light often "enters the room" and envelops people, or fills
them.
It
never seems to occur to Christians that Lucifer's very name means "light-bringer"
and he is described in the bible as manifesting as an angel of light.
I
personally know Christians who have seen "balls of light" hovering
over their bed, but because I know their spiritual situation and the circumstances,
I know it was not God. Demons in fact have often manifested as flashes
or beings or balls of light and when I hear such testimonies (especially
associated with the revival) I take it with a VERY large pinch of salt.
UNIVERSAL
LOVE
When
people go looking for spiritual goosebumps and chasing after moonbeams,
the devil is happy enough to supply them. It's my belief that the whole
world will eventually be seduced into a major spiritual experience - and
maybe sooner than we think. This will take the form of (as I've said before
on this site) an "overshadowing of love".
In
my last news report I let you see a piece by Jill Austin saying "What
I want is to make you so hungry for what God is doing that you will
not be satisfied with anything less. What happened to me is just a
picture of what God wants to do for all that thirst after Him. He wants
to release realms of glory and He wants to use you and me to do it.
The Lord is bringing a holy invasion of heaven to earth."
An
invasion is coming all right, but it's not from the Lord God of Heaven!
NUCLEAR
EXPLOSION
Another
supposed prophet has seen a vision of this moment as a nuclear explosion
so powerful that no man or woman can withstand it, and he immediately
linked this to "love" - but not the love of God that we know
of through the bible and conventional Christian means, but an "experience"
of love inside.
He
says:
The
point is to go back to the beginning, our first love and experience
it. Being transformed totally. The point is this coming explosion is
not by my might or yours or any churches it is God's power. Power unfathomable
and even unstoppable. It isn't that we can even thwart God's plan. It
is that we embrace it and yield to it and participate in it.
This
is, you see, an unstoppable power that none can resist. What is required
is that men and women submit to it and become transformed.
This
is not the biblical definition of God's love. God does love all people,
but because of the inherent sin in the human heart and because of the
need for redemption, God cannot simply surge down from heaven in a flood
of love and overpower people to make them members of his kingdom.
In any case, even if he could, he would not. God's Old Covenant was an
agreement to cleanse and bless Abraham's children if they obeyed God's
laws and regulations and followed his will. It was a two-way agreement.
The New Covenant in the blood of Jesus supersedes that but still has a
human requirement. Man must enter willingly into this Covenant by faith,
believing on Jesus, and being committed to doing God's will thereafter.
John
14:23-24
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep
my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's
which sent me.
John
8:31
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.
The "prophet" goes on to say: Can a nation be saved in a
day? Can the worst sinner in the world be saved? Yes!
This
sounds exciting and positive. But let's examine what is being said here.
A nation contains millions of people, some of whom would be members of
false religions, many of whom would be opposed to God, atheists or satanists.
We have to assume that most of the people of this "nation" are
unwilling to become Christians. Yet in "one day" because of
an overpowering sensation of "love" they suddenly change tack
and accept God. Even "the worst sinner in the world" is saved.
Now, I do believe that anybody, even "the worst sinner in the world"
CAN be saved, but only if he or she repents and believes! That sinner
will not be saved through an overshadowing of love.
God
will not overpower a person with feelings of "love" because
that would be control and coercion. A Covenant, an agreement, is one that
is entered into soberly, mindfully and with due consideration. I have
no doubt that conviction of sin, and an encounter with Jesus, can be very
moving and powerful for some, but that is not all there is to it!! I believe
in "love at first sight" but not marriage at first sight!
This
prophet believes that a flood of love as powerful as a nuclear blast will
"implode in" and destroy the present-day church and "utterly
vaporize it" to bring together a "critical mass" that is
needed to finalise God's plan for the earth. That plan (as we know from
other prophetic writings) is total UNITY and ONENESS which the writer
sees in scriptures such as John 17:23 "I in them and you in me,
all being perfected into one. Then the world will know that you sent me
and will understand that you love them as much as you love me."
The
problem with that, is that this verse has already BEEN FULFILLED in those
who know and love the Lord. The promise to all genuine believers is spiritual
unity with the Lord and with one another.
All
those who have received Him ARE already "perfected" in unity
with God and the other members of the Body. "For by one offering
he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." (Heb 10:14)
ONE
OFFERING! Jesus has made that offering, of Himself. Do you think God the
Father is looking for anything else, from fallen man, from apostles and
prophets, from the Church? Can anything possibly match that One Perfect
Offering? What can the Church attain or offer that would match that sacrifice?
We
are made one with God when we receive Him: "But he that is joined
unto the Lord is one spirit." (1 Cor 6:17)
And
"whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him." (I Jn 2:5)
CRITICAL
MASS
The
"prophet" speaks of a Critical Mass that is need for this implosion
of love:
THE
CRITICAL MASS: The sun is so huge that gravity causes fissionable material
to be dense enough (critical mass) for atoms to collide and split and
for that to go on continuously. In a nuclear bomb just the core in an
immeasurable instant flashes together... becomes dense enough.... and
fission occurs. Atoms splitting atoms and the energy of the creation
is released. Unfathomable quantities of energy and explosive force are
released.
What
is required in fission? The core, my heart, the center of my being is
totally saturated with the love of God to the point that we are together--
He in me and I in Him all being perfected into one. Eph 3:19 "May
you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never
fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life
and power that comes from God."
I see the church as that core and I see the love of God imploding in
on it. And I see the identity it has now being shattered, destroyed
and utterly vaporized. Because we, the churches, are being pressed together
by God. Critical Mass is going to be achieved and the church will
explode with the power of God. We think we have seen the power of God,
but we haven't seen anything yet. Can a nation be saved in a day?
Can the worst sinner in the world be saved? Yes!
It's
no coincidence that the revival churches as well as the New Age movement
are talking about "critical mass" since they both teach the
same thing - that the world en masse must move into a New Era, a spiritual
age, because of an explosion of goodwill and brotherhood that finally
reveals our common bond as atoms of one entity on the earth.
Now
you and I may recall at this point the book of Revelation which clearly
states that mankind will not in fact be saved en masse, but will plunge
into greater and greater depths of wickedness, finally coming under the
wrath of God which leads to the complete destruction of the world. Global
judgement, not global salvation is on the agenda.
However,
if we take a look at the writings of a leading new ager, Barbara Marx
Hubbard, we see the same kind of reasoning that is now being preached
in revivalist churches. Like many in those churches, Hubbard believes
she hears the voice of The Christ. But are the words of this "Omnipresent
Being" those of God?
"The
prophecy of John can be avoided altogether, if you would heal the social
body...by total focus on love, truth, wholeness and the goodness of
God. The alternative to Armageddon is Planetary Pentecost. When a critical
mass is in the "upper room" of consciousness on a planetary
scale, each will hear from within in their own language the mighty works
of God. All who are attuned will be radically empowered to be and do
as Jesus did." (The Revelation: The Book of Co-Creation, page 147)
"Do
you on earth have to undergo the collective crucifixion known as The
Tribulation in order to rise again in new bodies? The answer depends
on how many of you register your intention to do as I did. If a critical
mass of the human population were to choose a godlike future, the devastations
could be avoided...the critical mass represents those marked with the
seal of the living God on their foreheads. They are all now sensing
a total urgency to communicate the good news in every language, in all
tongues, in a variety of symbols. They are impelled from within to link
up with everyone who shares the same aspirations. They are finding eachother
at an increasingly rapid rate, brightening the flame of expectation
that now rises like fire in the night across the weeping face of my
beloved earth." (ibid., page 188)
This
"christ" also speaks - as do the revival churches - of a New
Order, the New Jerusalem, the overcomers becoming as God, transition,
transformation, a global Pentecost experience, a spiritual awakening worldwide,
an outpouring of love (but only for those who submit).
"The
flame in my eyes is love. It is the fire of attraction from God which
operates the universal Design. When you look into my eyes in the fulness
of time at the marriage, the flame in your heart will rise to its full
height. It will consume every memory of fear; it will ignite every
thought of love. It will transfigure you as I was transfigured upon
the mountain while the disciples slept." (ibid., page 224)
But
this "christ" [again, like church leaders] also speaks of the
need for a "selection process" to filter out those who are unwilling
to undergo transformation.
I have already written about the plan for cleansing so will not go into
that again here. But it's important to know that the thrilling talk of
"love" is all undergirded with the belief that only the favoured
few will actually make it to this transformed body and new earth; anyone
who resists is seen as part of the doomed "old order" and will
be destroyed.
In
this teaching, it's the bible-loving Christians who are holding back the
Global Pentecost, so they must be either reeducated out of their dogma,
or else violently removed out of the way.
For
all that the "christ" tells his followers that Armageddon and
the Tribulation can be avoided if critical mass is reached and enough
people consent to the New Order, he leaves the door open to another and
more sinister scenario. If the birth into the New Order cannot be done
peacefully by consent, it will be achieved by violence and destruction.
Either way, any Christian who withstands this lunacy (either in the world
or the churches) is targeted.
BUT
WITHSTAND IT WE MUST AND WILL!!! What
does God say?
PATIENT
ENDURANCE AND FAITH
Prov 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe.
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be saved.
Isa
25:4
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in
his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when
the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Isa
59:19-20
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory
from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the
Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression
in Jacob, saith the LORD.
James 5:7-11
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how
the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently
for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient.
Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not
grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold,
the Judge is standing at the door! My brethren, take the prophets, who
spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.
Indeed we count them blessed who endure.
Eph
6:13-16
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore,
having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Gal
5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
1 Tim 4:16
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for
in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Luke 21:8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come
in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not
therefore after them.
Luke 21:34-36
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that
day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them
that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray
always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that
shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Rev 3:10-11
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee
from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man
take thy crown.
