Where Are God’s Warriors Today? Get Rid of Those Who Are Afraid NOW

Jesus, the Christian’s ultimate model, was alone at his death because of his unwillingness to compromise truth. “He was deserted, forgotten, betrayed, and alone At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. “The cost of standing for truth is so high, so precious, so all-consuming that almost no one will meet it In Judges 7, Gideon was to go to war against the Midianites. While preparing for…

We do not hope for what we already have. We hope for what we do not yet possess. If we have believed in Jesus we have eternal life. But, we do not yet have the body we will spend eternity in. Nor have we yet inherited the kingdom of Heaven. It is a promised inheritance. So we hope in and for what we do not yet see. Faith- substance of things hoped for- evidence of things not seen Substance is reality Things we hope for are things we don’t yet possess Evidence is the criteria that determines truth Not seen is speaking of things the natural eyes can see. So faith is the reality we hope for that we do not yet possess. A reality that is actually more real than what we now possess because it is eternal. Whereas the…

“The lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” “He died for our sins.” “He will reprove the world of sin.” Do you know what these things mean? Well, for a start the word sin, hhatah in Hebrew and hamartia in Greek, means to miss the mark. Plain and simple. So this is what a man does when he sins. He misses the mark. As when shooting an arrow trying to hit the bulls eye on a target. So to know what these things mean we must first discover what the Bible says the mark is at which we are to be aiming our faith. And since most who call themselves Christians have been taught to believe the pagan doctrine of original sin, which is in all actuality just a form of judaism for Gentiles, a system…

When I was a younger man I knew an old man once that had lived a very sordid lifestyle. I knew because he told me. So much so that his 1st family was estranged from him because of it. And he was married to someone who had done pretty much the same with her life and former family. I was blessed to have the opportunity to share the gospel with them on several occasions. She soon came to believe and prayed with me and came to know and love Jesus. And she began praying that her husband would come to believe in Jesus too. But, he was much more resistant. Each time we would talk he would begin sobbing with remorse and would respond to me saying, “God could never forgive me because I have done too many bad things”. Even…

We must learn what this means- “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” Rev.13:10. The evil powers that be all around the world are leading men into captivity through lockdowns as we see in so many articles like those here at Hnewswire.com and videos telling the truth about what is going on in our world. But, God says that because these evil men are taking men captive they themselves will be taken captive. And because they are also killing with the sword God says they will be killed with the sword. I am reminded of Psalm141 which says, “Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be…

By Edward O’Hara People that believe in salvation by works like the doctrine of original sin and sin nature doctrines teach are those who think that the reason man is separated from God is because they are bad because they have done bad things, or because they are accountable to God for Adam’s sin, and need to be made good enough to be acceptable to God. And that this is the reason that Jesus had to die for our sins. To pay a penalty for sins so that by faith in Jesus His righteousness would be imputed to us to assuage God’s anger at mankind. Making us good enough for God to accept us into His kingdom. But, this construct is a rejection of what the Bible plainly says. Because the Bible says that it is only because we are natural, only…

is a Lamp Unto My Feet, and a Light Unto My path.”… By Edward O’Hara… And a really great way to see this truth in action is in reading the story of the disciples when they saw Jesus walking on the water. But, first what comes to mind for me when I think of this story is that since Peter was already in covenant with God, why did he need Jesus to be able to walk on the water? Wasn’t the covenant he already had with God enough? Didn’t Peter already have the light for his path that Ps.119 speaks of? What is the Holy Spirit wanting us to see here? Here’s the situation. Jesus had told the disciples to meet Him on the other side of the sea. So the disciples were in a boat on their way to…

My intention is not to be unkind; but rather, to expose the demonic nature of so-called “Christian rock” and “Christian Hip Hop” music. The issue is not about the performers personally; but rather, about the worldly music they claim to sing in Jesus’ name…. “When can music be considered ‘Christian music’?” – The song lyrics must reflect biblical truth.– The song lyrics must directly praise God/Jesus.– The song must mention God/Jesus.– The song must be written for Christians and not as an evangelical tool.– The lyrics must directly address God, not other people.– The song must be completely new, not a cover of a secular song.– The song is designed to be played in church, not outside of the church.– The melody must be paramount, and the rhythm subdued.– The song must be written and performed by mature Christians only.–…

The command to touch not God’s anointed is found in two places in Scripture: “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm” (1 Chronicle 16:22; Psalm 105:15). These passages are sometimes used in Pentecostal and Charismatic circles to defend certain preachers from criticism. Preachers who promote themselves or their ministries as “anointed” warn their would-be critics, “Do not touch God’s anointed!” Of course, this helps to insulate them from scrutiny and allows them to spread falsehood and bad theology unrestrained. Others take God’s command “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm” to mean that Christians are promised protection from all bad things. Both of the above interpretations of “Do not touch my anointed ones” ignore the context of the passages in question. The “anointed ones” in these passages are not modern-day Pentecostal preachers. And the Bible never promises…

Edward O’Hara… Is needed because the whole world is currently going through a great time of uncertainty. And while it may be that these things are leading to the soon return of Jesus as some are saying. These hardships are not so different from things the world has gone through before. Paul says as much here saying, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.” People are living in fear of things they do not understand. They are suffering in ways they never thought could happen. Especially in this “land of plenty” we…
