In this excellent lecture on the “alien” phenomenon, Fr. Ripperger compares some of what “aliens” are said to have communicated with what exorcists have seen demons communicate as well. Essentially: there are multiple paths to God (even if they contradict one another). He points out that this is essentially...

So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it The Problem of Evil — John MacArthur // March 17, 2007 You have to understand that this issue of the problem of evil is the big issue, the big one in even evangelical Christianity, as well as liberal Christianity – everybody trying to save God from this biblical definition. Let’s assume for a minute that God doesn’t have the power or willingly limited the power for a greater good, human freedom; or doesn’t have the knowledge. In any case, guess what; evil exists and God exists, and God has no power over evil, and evil dominates the world, and it is beyond His control. The universe is out of control; it’s out of control and the most crucial point. So just exactly how, may I ask you, is God all of a sudden going to get the knowledge of the future that He needs to bring this deal to an end, and how is He going to exercise the power to end it, and how is He going to overturn His immutable decision in the past to give the creature autonomy? How is God going to define the end of everything in the way the Bible says He defines it if He’s not even in control of it, because He will not or cannot exercise the power, or doesn’t have the knowledge? Maybe global warming has more power than God. So I ask you this: Which god would you like? Would you rather have a god trying to get control of evil or a God completely in control of it? It’s obvious. It’s heresy to say the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God far beyond the willy-nilly human choices. So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it. It occurred in a rebellion against Him. But He willed and ordained that it occurred. In fact, if you study the Bible carefully, you can see many ways in which God designs to use evil things – natural evil, moral evil, supernatural evil – for His own purposes, even eternal evil, sometimes to bring fear and terror and conviction on the unregenerate, sometimes to bring chastisement and discipline on God’s people, sometimes to humble them. And in the case of Job, He turned Satan loose for horrendous evil in the life of Job. You remember that Jesus said to Peter one day, “Satan desires to have you that he may sift you like wheat”? Remember that, Luke 22? And if I’d had been Peter I’d have said, “Well, you told him no, right?” Jesus said, “Actually, I told him yes, have at him.” What? “So that when you’re converted, you can strengthen the brethren.” There’s a remedial purpose in this. “As you come through that difficulty and come out the other side, you’re going to be able to strengthen the brethren.”It was 2 Corinthians 12 where Paul says, “There was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan.” A lot of discussion about what that is. Pretty clear. Messenger is aggelos. A satanic messenger is a what; a demon. I don’t think Paul had a demon in his life, I think that’s the demon that was leading the false teachers who were ripping and shredding the Corinthian church, and Paul prayed three times that it might be removed, and the Lord didn’t remove it. Why? He says twice in 2 Corinthians 12, “to keep me from exalting myself, to keep me from exalting myself.” If God so designs He will use a demon-led false teacher association to rip up a church to humble the pastor. He’s in control of all of that, of all of it.

At a Q&A, John MacArthur is asked about Christian nationalism. The kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus said that. He said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would [fight].” His kingdom is not of this world. The kingdom of this world is a separate world; they’re not linked together. Let me say it another way: Nothing that happens in any nation, whether it’s a Communist nation, a Muslim nation, or a “quasi-Christian” nation, or an atheistic nation—nothing in that nation politically, socially has anything to do with the advancement of the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God is separate from that system. God, in His sovereignty, is building His church, “and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it,” Jesus said. So the idea that you should link up some political effort, some political process, some social process, some gain of power or influence in a culture as part of the advance of Christianity is alien to Christianity. You never have our Lord approaching anything like that, nor the apostles, and particularly the apostle Paul. He sought to gain no favor with the Roman Empire whatsoever, or for that matter, with any other of the rulers that he ran into during his life. Now, that is not to say that we are indifferent to what happens in the nation. We’ve been talking about that the last couple of Sunday mornings. We have to be the people who uphold righteousness. When we come to vote, we want to vote for that which is the most righteous option. Obviously, we can’t vote in righteousness, but we have to vote in a way that reflects our commitment to the righteousness of God. So we couldn’t possibly elect somebody who was an abortionist, somebody who was LGBTQ or LGBTQ-affirming, or any other deviation from God’s righteous moral standard. So it gets harder, doesn’t it, nowadays, because even sometimes when politicians are more conservative and anti-abortion, they may be sinful and wicked in some other categories, and it’s very hard to find out who is really honest and who is simply dishonest and seeking power. But in the end, we do what we can with the understanding that the responsibility of the church is not to advance the kingdom of this world. That’s a faulty viewpoint. Christian nationalism is usually tied to what is called post-millennialism, and that is the view that the church, somehow, by influencing the culture, can bring in the kingdom of Christ. In other words, it’s the idea not that Christ returns and sets up His kingdom, but that the church establishes His kingdom and then hands it to Him. That is not what Scripture teaches. What Scripture teaches is what we’re learning from the book of Revelation. Things are going to get worse and worse and worse. And the end of human history is not the church triumphant, reigning in the world and taking over the structures of human kingdoms; that’s not what happens. At the end of human history, the believers are persecuted and murdered, and that’s the very opposite of what Christian nationalism would anticipate. So we believe the Bible teaches that things get worse and worse, headed toward the wrath of God, which we’re seeing in Revelation, and then our Lord returns, Himself, to establish His kingdom is clearly what we read in the book of Revelation. OK?

I had posted this tweet paying my homage to Vivekananda Kendra President Balakrishnan ji who breathed his last at 12.05 am on 27th morning. Just hours before a devotee of Mata Amritanandamayi recorded him on video. This is that 6 minute video This is the transcript of his wish hours before he attained the feet of the divine Quote We want the entire creation to continue to be happy. They are to be preferred whatever is there. So, nations' wealth and rich culture, it will retain. That is one. Second thing is, we must understand that if we have to do something to the nation, we have to see that we protect the environment and ecology, because they all come part of the whole creation. Nothing is left uninterlinked. Everything is interlinked. That is the beauty of this creation. The creation is that everything is interlinked. This is what our Sanatana Dharma says. The whole thing, the creation is all, nothing but interlinking of one with another. So, because of the interlink, it gives strength to each and everything. So it will not die. When one link is unlinked, another link supports it. So Sanatana Dharma is like that. So, that is why we have to see that this Sanatana Dharma is protected by various service activities to the people. The poor, the poor and the fallen people. That is what is needed. There are, you see in our society today, there are many ups and downs. There are many people who are living very high level. They are doing, they are living high level. There are people who are living very low level, living. So that should not be there. There must be some gratification. It should be that everybody is supported by something. That is very important. This is what is required. But that is not happening in the country. Exploitation has become a big issue today. Everything is exploited by one force on another. Another force on another. The exploitation has become a way of life. That is to be changed. So, these are the important things that came to my mind. Let us see. Amrita Ashram is doing a fantastic work. They did work for the whole global well-being. Let all sections of society benefit from its direction. There should be institutions which should give direction to many people. How to deal? How to deal with others? How to cooperate with others? How to help others? How to support others? These are all very important matters. You must continue to do some very good activities throughout. Every day, the night, you should be able to activate your mind and find out what we have done from morning to evening. The whole day, what service, what good things we have done. Everything we have done, that is very important. Assessment of days, activities, that is very important to me. These are some of the points which came to my mind. But this, this is not everything. There are many other things you can also do. That we can do it. Anything which you can do it. Anything which will benefit others, that is all. That is all. Namaste. Unquote

Might be an escalation in the earth but there is an acceleration happening for the people of God in this hour who have been faithful to You, Lord. We praise You that there is an acceleration happening for their call and acceleration happening for their position and acceleration happening for the territory Father God that You have called them into. That in incredible ways that resources will come on to them to be stewarded in order to open up and unlock the territories that Your people have to take in this time in order to stop the stampede of the enemy that he is attempting to do in this hour. He is attempting a running of the bulls in the earth and Father we praise You that You are raising a standard right now. That You are utilizing Your people to raise a standard. Father God we praise You that in the lives of Your people incredible wonders, incredible miracles, Father God are going to happen in the lives of Your people in this hour. Though the earth escalates Father God, Your people are under Your wings. They are under Your jurisdiction. Under Your wings, we will take refuge, Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Though the earth shakes, though the world shakes, though the earth groans and cries out, Your people sing Your praises in an hour of escalation because they are in an hour of acceleration. The people that have been found faithful, that have stayed the course, that have pushed through, we praise You Father God that in this hour You are granting unto them a great increase for what You are giving Your people. Great increase Father God in wisdom, in resources, in opportunities, in favor, Father God we thank You that doors of favor are unlocking for your people in this hour. That people are going to walk right into buying businesses. Your people are going to walk in this hour into purchasing businesses, Father God they didn't even know was being prepared for them in order to steward it for the things of Your kingdom, for heaven's economy, for what You want to accomplish within the earth Father God. You are releasing greater vision and a greater desire, Father God, for the deeper things that You have and the greater territories You want to give unto Your people if they will only not become complacent and press in this hour. #propheticword #God #faith #prayer #JesusChrist #Holyspirit

Francis Schaffer in 1982 answering the question of what has gone wrong with evangelicals that allowed the Christian consensus to be lost in our nation: "I think a false view of spirituality, a Platonic view of spirituality which follows Plato, but certainly isn't biblical. And that is that spirituality is shut up to a small area of life...in this view, everything is worldly that isn't in this little box of spirituality. Now, as I look at the Bible, this is exactly 1000% backwards. There are certain sinful things that God tells us are sinful, and we ought to take those and set them aside...and then, everything else is spiritual." Robertson: "Elaborate on that. Everything then in the world, because you're saying that Jesus has a plan and a worldview and a purpose. He's not just God of the church; He's God of everything." Schaeffer: "Absolutely. He made it. And one day, the wonder is, Jesus is coming back and is going to be the redemption of all things...God is interested in the totality of life—art, music, literature, but also the political life. So true spirituality means the Lordship of Christ in the totality of life and not just a small part of it." Robertson: "The liberal press, particularly, would try to keep conservative Christians or evangelicals out of political life, and there's this great pressure to make fun of you when you get in politics, and they don't think it should be. And there are many Christians who say yes to the same thing. Now, what do you say to them?" Schaeffer: "Well, they're wrong." Robertson: "Christians should do what? Run for office, vote, register, get involved? What ought they to do?" Schaeffer: "Well, we ought to realize that in the viewpoint of the Scripture, life is not divided up into watertight compartments, that all of life should be lived for the Lordship of Christ. Now, what exact portion each one of us should have is according to the Lord's leading for us...but the rule to lay down is that Christians have a responsibility for the society in which they live. We're to be the salt. We're to be the light...By our silence, by refusing to be what God tells us to be, the light of this culture, the salt of the culture, we are the ones responsible before God for the mess we're in."

WHY AMBIENCE? The theme of this years Reboot Camp is: AMBIENCE - Manifesting the presence of God You might be wondering, “Why ambience?” When the bible uses the term “the presence of God”, there are three things it could be referring to: The first is the “Omnipresence of God” This means God is everywhere at once. David describing this said “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” (Psalm 139:7-8) The second is the “Indwelling presence of God” The is exclusive to the believer in Christ. It refers to us receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation. The third is the “Manifest presence of God” Whilst God is everywhere at once, based on his Omnipresence, He doesn't manifest everywhere. This is why Jacob could say “God was here and i did not know” (Genesis 28:16). He knew God was Omnipresent, but at a point in time, God chose to make his presence manifest in certain place. As a believer in Christ, not only are you to be familiar with the indwelling presence of God in you, but because God lives in you, His presence can be manifest through you as well. The Psalms let us know that because God dwelt in the midst of the Israelites, the sea saw it and fled, the Jordan was turned back and even the mountains skipped like rams (Psalm 114:1-4). Through the manifest presence of God, you can experience tangible miracles often. It isn’t exclusive to Men of God alone, you also can be a carrier of God’s presence! This is what God wants to do at this years Reboot Camp, He wants you to be an envoy of his ambience! Are you ready??
