Your Choice Today Will Determine Your Eternal Destiny :: by Don Twobears

I want to touch on a few things here that are very, very, important. Some will understand and others will be simply annoyed or confused. Some will even scoff at what is stated here, as if it is too surreal to give any credence to; still these are truths and there is Scripture to that effect. I am unable to think of a better time to understand these truths than today, as in right now.

There is a God! There is no doubt in this except in the hearts of some people. Jesus Christ has been shown to have lived here by both archaeologists and historians. Yet, there are many who  choose to show Jesus Christ as someone who was less than the Son of God. The Holy Spirit does indeed live inside each born-again believer, simply by noting the numbers of people that choose to do what is right as compared to those choosing to be evil.

There is coming a day when these scoffers will face Who they have always chosen to deny and I truly have a problem in my mind when thinking of this. It is called…sadness.

Genesis 1:27-28 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

Here is the reason that Satan and his ilk hate you and me: We were created in the image of God Almighty! The second reason is because God loves each and every one of us, despite our evil intentions and actions. We are HIS creation and we were created for a reason and with a purpose for our lives for God.

Please note, you are not required to believe this, believing something or not is up to you. What you should be aware of with this: There is an end process coming and God has said so. God will judge…YOU!

I believe in my heart that we are positioned to understand situations which affect every person on this planet. If we follow Satan and his ilk, we are being lied to because every idea that Satan puts in your head…is for the here and now—the short term; everything that will make you happy while you are alive here on earth. Satan does not want you to be thinking or considering, there is an afterlife, an eternal existence.

Satan and his ilk already know that they are destined to the lake of fire; total separation from God. The problem is this: Satan does not want to go there alone, so he chooses to lie to you and get you to go with him (A real tough guy…right?) Either way, Satan and his ilk hate God first and you second.

What better way to hurt God than to destroy or ruin the ones that God loves the most, you and me? You see, Satan and his ilk are able to make lies about God, to confuse what you are thinking, to depress you to the point of suicide before you accept Jesus Christ. Satan would rather that you die before accepting Jesus Christ and HIS Salvation through HIS blood.

Many people think they are more special than others. Where do you think this idea comes from? Satan! You see, we are all the children of our Creator God. Has it ever occurred to you that you are listening to Satan and his ilk….tell YOU LIES?

John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

We already know that if a person is told the same LIE over and over again, the day will come when he believes that LIE to be the TRUTH. No matter what that person believes or what YOU believe, a LIE is nothing more than just a LIE. If that is indeed truth…then why do you listen to LIES?

You and everyone else already know that to run around and pillage, kill and rape…is WRONG! So, if it is wrong, then why do these people do the things that they are doing? They have been LIED to by Satan and his ilk and they believe that instant gratification is all there is. (To take what is NOT theirs, to use what does NOT belong to them, to keep whatever they like just because they like it!) And they do NOT care about whomever they hurt.

Islamic State does not care who they kill, behead, rape or use for their own purposes. Satan has LIED to them in their “holy” book, the Koran. It tells them, they are allowed to LIE to and MURDER anyone that is NOT a true Muslim or following Islam. Does this make any sense to you?

Come on people, do you NOT recognize a LIE when it is presented to you? These LIES are the property of Satan and his ilk….these people of the Islamic State…believe these LIES. Thus…their fruit…proves what they believe. It is so simple to see, my friends.

1 Corinthians 15:51-55 “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Those are two verses of Scripture I always have in my head and my heart, and I believe them both. Thus, I have the truth that Jesus Christ is going to save me from hell and the lake of fire. My sins have been covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, from HIS Cross on Calvary.

I have gone to HIS Cross and left my old person there; I have crucified my old self to HIS Cross and I have begged Jesus Christ to bathe me in HIS precious blood. I am now saved to heaven with my Lord and Savior, with my God forever!

One thing everyone already knows is whether they are saved to Jesus Christ or not. A day is coming when we will all face death here on earth. But the question then is this: Where will YOU go after you die? One must understand that I would rather accept Jesus Christ and know I will see heaven after I die than to follow Satan and see the lake of fire for eternity.

Most people already know that there is a life after death. That being the case, do you really want to believe the LIES of Satan and his ilk? Or would you choose the TRUTH of the Lord Jesus Christ? One way will get you eternal death and the other eternal life. You must understand, it is your choice. You will make it before you die!

This IS the only reason you are here on earth and it matters little to anyone, if you are willing to accept this or not. One day though, it will be the only thing that will matter to you!

Choose to believe what you will, do the things that matter to you the most and follow your own calling. In the end, your choice is recorded in the Lambs Book of Life; your name will be there or it won’t. Your eternity will be according to whether you name is written there or not. There is NO other way.

People can pray for you all they want until the cows come home, but your destiny in eternity is according to where your name is written or not.

John 14:6-11 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.’

Jesus saith unto him, ‘Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake.’”

My friends, death is like a second skin to each of us. We walk this earth never knowing if the next step will be our last or not. This I do know and I want to share it with you: If you believe and follow Jesus Christ with every step, nothing can happen to you without God’s approval. In other words you will not die until Jesus Christ calls you. How odd is that?

So…if you are a born-again Believer in Jesus Christ, you can be bulletproof, bombproof, everything-proof—just go and be the messenger that Christ has asked you to be and walk in HIS peace.

God Has Never Made a Mistake! :: by Don Twobears

I am concerned. I am fearfully concerned about the direction in which this nation is headed. I am also very concerned about the judgment that is about to befall this country of ours, this USA. Is it only me, that sees the way we have become, as citizens of the USA, or do you see what all is going on as well?

In 1776, the forefathers brought about a new nation and they called it the United States. They founded this country on certain laws that would assure every person the liberty to live a fruitful life. A life that would make things like tyranny obsolete.

Religious freedom would abound for all, not just a select few. A country where people would be able to speak freely without the fear of subjugation. Where officials would be elected and placed in offices for the good of the people, and for less than 239 years all these things were true and honorable.

So what has happened? Why has this changed?

For the most part, everyone held together and used the Word of God—the Bible, as the basis for how this country would grow. This country prospered and grew to become the greatest nation on earth, with the Word of God in place.

For the most part there was happiness and good growth amongst all the people and it showed everywhere in this country. You bet, we made some mistakes, but all in all, we followed the Word of God and God made this country prosper.

I have stated before, that as a child I would go to tent revivals with my mom and dad and we would hear the Word of God taught and sin explained. We would hear about the effects of sin in our lives and how we needed to return to the Word of God and follow Jesus Christ.

Those days of old when you didn’t have to lock your doors, you didn’t have to worry about someone breaking in; where children of all ages were safe because everyone protected them and their neighborhoods; where schools began their day with a prayer and the pledge of allegiance.

If a child was too poor to buy lunch, the food was still given to them. If there was a fight, it was hand to hand and afterward the two got up, shook hands and became friends. In those days parents loved their children enough to spank them when they were wrong; good marks in school were still the responsibility of the child and the parents, not the teacher.

So now there is a so-called better way, a more secular way. But how has this made things better? We are now at the point that everyone is shaking their collective fists at God and the Bible is considered useless, old fashioned and no one talks about sin anymore. Far too many churches have turned their noses up at the Word of God and teach “prosperity” and how to “feel good” about oneself—instead of teaching the blasphemy of sin!

Some churches have associated themselves with the ecumenical movement and blaspheme the Word of God. They have associated themselves with the abomination of homosexuality in an effort to bring harmony to the masses, despite that the Word of God says the opposite.

Our streets are no longer safe to walk, they have become havens for criminals and no one is willing to call them on this. Instead they call the police war-mongering criminals and the thugs start riots and lawlessness without regard for those that must live near them.

And to make things even worse our elected officials are thieves and money-grabbers, at the expense of the people that voted them into office. These same snakes in the grass have turned the Constitution to less than the paper it was written on. The Bill of Rights is no longer viable and these same elected officials are to blame.

They have sought to remove anything concerning God in every place they can. In our schools there is no prayer and our courts lack the Ten Commandments. And yet these same officials and judges want you and me to call them, “Your Honor.” How can anyone or anything maintain any semblance of honor, where NONE EXISTS?

2 Timothy 3:1-7 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

I believe that passage from the Word of God spells out how this country is today and if no one else is willing to speak the obvious, I will…

We should be ashamed of ourselves. Since time began for humans, we have been the fallen species here on earth. We have turned away from God. We need to be on our knees, asking Jesus Christ to cover our sins and make us whole again, unto HIM! We do NOT deserve such a loving Father in heaven; we do NOT deserve to live for eternity, we do NOT deserve heaven in any way.

We deserve the depths of the lake of fire, just for our SIN. We do not even deserve this life here on earth…we are that pitiful…that disgraceful. Still…HE loves us…

MY Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came here and lived for 33 years and in that time HE gave everything we could possibly need to get to heaven, through HIS precious blood on that cruel Roman Cross at Calvary. HE willingly sacrificed HIS life on that Cross, so that HIS blood would cover the sins of anyone willing to come to HIM for salvation.

Let me say this in a more common manner. We kick Jesus Christ in the teeth and in HIS heart with every single sin we commit…and still…HE loves us and is willing to save us…from ourselves. Is any of this making any sense to you? Sin is the reason for our undoing in absolutely everything we do or say.

Nothing will get you into heaven except…your sin being covered by HIS blood! You can chant, sing hymns, ring bells, turn wheels, go to church, sing in the choir, preach in the pulpit, but nothing except the saving grace of the blood of Jesus Christ will get you into heaven.

So go ahead and elect these mental midgets into office, listen and agree with those intellectual idiots in their perspective positions; play the game of life, but without Jesus Christ…YOU…like them are eternally lost. And believe me when I say, there is no one better to blame than YOU. YOU asked for it all. Jesus Christ is the ONLY answer. There is NO other way to the Father…to heaven…than through Jesus Christ.

It never ceases to amaze me. People think they are so smart, so intelligent that they never see that their bodies are nothing more than bags of fluid and bones. And so everyone runs around among other bags of fluid and bones, infecting each other, over and over again. Some survive and some die. And then these same individuals want to blame God for their failures? How about everyone taking responsibility for their own actions, which begins with the intent of the heart.

I remember in my earlier days before I was saved to Jesus Christ. While working in the medical field I would sometimes say, “Don’t bother me…can’t you see I am trying to save lives here?” I am ashamed to say that is true and shamefully arrogant.

NO ONE…except Jesus Christ…has ever saved anyone…from anything. Learned physicians piddling around with those fluid filled organs, resetting those broken bones are missing the heart of the problem all together…their spirits and their sin and their NEED for Jesus Christ.

I am going to state another thing here that definitely goes against the secular frame of thinking. I LOVE MY WIFE…but I LOVE MY LORD and SAVIOR above all. The Lord has taken my fear away, not just some of it, all of it. If this, MY bag of fluid and bones ceases to function, there is nothing for me to fear. MY Lord and Savior will always be here for me. Go ahead and shoot me…you will be sending me right where I want to be…with Jesus Christ. NO FEAR!

The Supreme Court decided…worthless garbage as far as I am concerned…if people want to infect their bags of fluid and bones with perversions. Be my guest! If people want to commit an abomination against God, go ahead, but don’t sit there and cry when life goes completely sideways; they asked for that! Marriage was decided by God to be between one woman and one man and that’s the end of it.

It doesn’t matter how you or I feel, it matters how God feels. If you choose not to believe in God or HIS Holy Word—the Bible, that’s all fine and good with me. I am not the one you need to impress, you need to impress Jesus Christ and HIM alone. If by chance you want to continue in your secular lifestyle, when you get to hell and the lake of fire, be sure and remind Satan and his ilk they missed me and have a fantastic day!

Oh, and before I go on, do you know what this term is?: “It’s just a flash in the pan.”

Gold diggers used to use it to keep their minds on the lookout for any gold in their wash pans. You can also use it to describe the extent of our time here on earth. So go ahead and flash that bag of fluid and bones all around for all to see. The shame and the filth are all there for you, the perversions are always ready to deceive you.

There’s a reason for all the degradation in this life to make sure you have as much fun as you can find…before you die. Hopefully though, it will be enough to cover you in hell and in the lake of fire because that will last for eternity. But then, you asked for it right?

That bag of fluid and bones was once young and vibrant, then one day you look in the mirror and you are middle-aged, and the next thing you know—you’re old. In the beginning everyone wanted you, it was crazy and exhilarating, then later only a select few still want you, so now there’s worry.

Finally the day comes, when you realize no one wants you anymore. Oh horrors! Then the moment comes and you wonder to yourself, what was it all worth…if this…is how it all ends? Your bag of fluid and bones is now ugly, smelly, decrepit and broken. You’re washed up, almost useless and you are asking yourself, what happened, where did it all go, why is the end so ugly?

Could it be that there is…something else? Is this all there is to this life? It quickly becomes obvious your life meant too little and it was always too late, right? Money can no longer fix what ails you, it can’t stop you from aging and it surely won’t stop you from dying. Why? Because money is a lie…thank you Satan!

John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Anything short of Jesus Christ…is a LIE. And it would appear you listened to that LIE and went in the wrong direction, am I not correct? Then if there is yet a moment of life still in you, there is a very good chance to give your life to Jesus Christ and still see heaven. Because God does indeed LOVE YOU.

HIS arms are still open and waiting for you, you just have to ask HIM for it! There is only one catch, you have to ask HIM to save you before you die. The question is this: When will you die? Do you know when that will take place? You never know; that moment could be…tomorrow. That…makes right now…super important wouldn’t you say?

Matthew 7:1-29 says it all, read it, believe it, it’s absolute…TRUTH.
