A Critical Warning: From Ignorence to Captivity

Here we are, finally, at the start of another new year! But just how new will the rest of your life be? Most likely, it will end up being more of the same old ideas and mistakes. Because when it comes to change, people can't adjust themselves to anything connected with it, no matter how good it really is.
The Holy Bible speaks about change in the following terms: a new creation in Christ (II Cor.5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph.2:15, 4:24; Col. 3:10), being born again (Jn. 3:3-8), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23), a new name (Rev. 2:17, 3:12), a new song (Rev. 14:3), a new and better covenant (I Cor. 11:25; Heb. 8:6, 13), a new and living way (Heb. 10:20), the new and life-giving way (Heb. 7:19, 22, 8:6), the new way of the Spirit (Ro. 7:6; Gal. 5:1), a new doctrine (Mark 1:27; Acts 17:19), a new commandment (Jo. 13:34), a new lump (I Cor. 5:7), a new life (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 3:21; Heb. 7:22), the new Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23; Rev. 21:5), the new people of God (Lu. 12:31-32; Eph. 1:13, 23; Jas. 1:17-18, Ro. 8:14, 20-30).
Clearly God is the expert at makeovers, but only for those who are indeed truly interested in Christ and actually serious about Him. If you love Christ with all your heart, and soul, and mind (Mt. 7:14), and if you trust Him and His Spirit to help you to be made over, then you may indeed experience rebirth from on high. But "all those who do not love the Lord Jesus are cursed" (I Cor. 16:22). So, actually, how much made over are you? And, actually, which kind of a person are you? Isn't it high time for a truer evaluation of your own self?
Perhaps you are one of those Americans who desired and voted for change in the last election. Perhaps you wanted to see America restored to its original foundations. Yet without a real restoration of America's original foundations, built on actual and real Biblical truths and principles, you will still end up with a crumbling nation. To put it another way, you are still wasting your time without God and His truths in your life. God does not honor hypocrisy (Mt. 23:28; I Tim. 4:2)!
Perhaps you long for a better life. Pray tell, where on earth do you ever expect to find that without Christ and the protective boundaries of His New Covenant? Today's America and Americans, and many Christians, couldn't be further removed from that important "straight and narrow way" (Mt. 7:14). Today they seem to prefer the broad way that leads to destruction (Mt. 7:13-14; I Jo. 2:26), and care not to become any the wiser, for they have been rigorously trained in it. So, your hopes are in vain, built upon a shaky foundation of shifting winds of false doctrines, heresies, apostasy (Eph. 4:14; Ro. 16:17; Col 2:4; II Jo. 10-11; III Jo. 11), strong delusion (II Th. 2:7-12), and your well-loved lies ((Ro. 1:25; II Th. 2:11; Jas. 3:14, I Jo. 2:21; Rev. 21:27, 22:15) far removed from the protection of Christ's New Covenant and its boundaries. How can you claim to be in Christ and His Covenant while running all around the outside of all of its protective boundaries, happily chasing after humanist-centered lies? Clearly, you are not in His New Covenant at all if you care not a whit for it, and you are still totally clueless and deceived. And this is bad. You have been indoctrinated, from the inside out, to follow evils. You think that you can get away with short ending God and leave Him and His Covenant out of your agenda, you stand in the crosshairs of judgment.
You are now in captivity because of your ignorance of many of God's truths, and well you deserve to be if you willfully choose such a lowly course of conduct. If you care little about honoring God and His straight, narrow ways in your thoughts and your ways, then you will always remain in captivity to Satan and thoughts that serve him and his reprobate purposes. It's time for a thorough reality check, fellow American "Christian"! Wake up! It is far later than you think! You are running out of time to get it right! The day is well spent, and the night is descending on you and on your deceived nation. Enlighten yourself, America! To everything there is a season (Eccles. 3:1). America's ideals depend on the kind of person that you are, or are not.
Go now to Amazon.com. Get the book, There Is A Kingdom, by Anita Whalley. Read it and absorb its truths, while you still have a little more time left to do so and to benefit from it!
