Paris Hilton Email

Quick intro:

There are many articles out now about Paris getting out of jail and her sharing of the experience. The one I read was in the Houston Chronicle. From reading the quotes she made and the fruits of her life, it is clear that she does not know the character of the God she makes reference too. But she can know God and He can transform her life. Yours also.

I sent her this email : the quote, God's Word, and a link to consul
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel like God does make everything happen for a reason," she said. "And it gave me, you know, a time-out in life just to really find out what is important and what I want to do, figure out who I am."

She said she is looking at getting involved in a number of charitable causes, including those helping children.

Quote from the Houston Chronicle 28 June 2007

Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

II Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Miss Hilton, you really need to seek God's consul in His Word. On the website listed below are several page links to consul in the Bible. The buttons with the titles of Jesus, Gospel, and Study are a fairly quick read. I pray that you get this and can take the time to read it.

And Shall Deceive Many : antichrist

A man has deceived many. His name is José Luis de Jesús Miranda. He is not the only one, but to those who know God and His Word, he is easy to identify.

Jesus said they would come afterward and do this. It is tragic that this man gets to get away with this. But Satan took the Word of God away from them so that they had no understanding of this thing that is happening now. How did Satan get these words of Jesus away from them?

Matthew 24:5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Mark 13:6For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Luke 21:8And 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.

Titus 1:10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

2 John 1:7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

How has Satan taken this word of direct and clear warning away from these people that they have been deceived?

Satan did not come and take this word himself. He has no hands himself to steal with. He had to use something. Look at the parable of the sower again.

Matthew 13
1The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

And Jesus then explains this here

18Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Confirming that Satan used a vessel to take that word out of the hearts of the people. In the parable he used the fowls of the air.

I pray God give you the ability to receive His Word and its transforming power.

Time to take off the gloves: this is real battle.

What does he use in this case. How did he get that word out of their heart? Or how did he intercept it from getting there in the first place?
He used a vessel called the Catholic Church.

Satan took the Word of God away from the people in the earlier days of the Catholic Church by keeping the Word bound in a language that was not understood by the common man. Look at men like Tyndale, Luther, Bunyan and Wycliffe and the price they paid to get the Bible into a form that men could read it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tyndale

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bunyan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wycliffe

Open your eyes to the demographics of the followers of this man. Miami based and the countries that have listed him as unwelcome (mostly Central American), and the race of his followers are mainly Latin descent. Those deceived are the children and children's children of the families that have been from the Catholic Church. Please don't shoot me for making an observation about obvious facts.

Those fowls of the air are greedy, they want it all for themselves.
They feast on the word and the praise of men, they gobble up the things of God and leave nothing, not a crumb of teaching of the word for those that are walking in the path of destruction. It allows them to receive this lie. It nurtures and cradles its followers to the doctrines of men.

Does every Catholic Church fit this description? Of course not. But you need to ask a very import question. Am I being taught the whole counsel of God?

Luke 13
18Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Jesus is that gate ! Bless the Name of Jesus !

When you stand before God, you stand alone or with Jesus. There will not be anyone else to help or blame when you stand before the Maker of the Heavens and the Earth.

John 14
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Pick Me !

I am not well known for witty quotes or humor. But the Lord just gave me
an awesome word in a short moment of concern. Here you go:

If they begin to hunt down the followers of Christ, to kill, to
persecute, or imprison. I want my testimony to make my name be on the top of their list.

Great News For Texas

From the Houston Chronicle
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4831635.html

Rejoice that the people of Texas have opened the door of blessing back
to this state. We have made a place for the Word of God in our schools.
God does honor that effort. Of course you will have satan's regular
minions out there with their vile comments, but some people who love
Jesus have written also. I cannot describe how excited I am that this is
happening. Pastors, congregations, be praying about what part you can
have in this. For those of you in other states, I pray that you receive
this as well. There is enough blessing of God to share everywhere. They
may not let us in to teach or speak, but I can open my house or church
to tutor off campus.

Denying The Lord Jesus

To incorrectly represent someone is to deny their character. I have been in "dialogue" with a man from the LDS (Mormons). In our discourse, I pinned down the one main topic that is fairly common to all religions that claim to be of God and are not: that is the person of Jesus, His Deity, His place in the Triune Godhead from eternity past, His atonement for our sins on the cross.

This man is rather annoyed that I will not take the time to do a deep study of his faith. He cannot understand that I do not need to. What is important, is that I know Jesus. I have a relationship with God through the Lord Jesus and to reject every thing that is not Christ. Just like the people who are trained to spot counterfeit bills. They only handle good money. When something comes along that is not real, they know it.

They have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. That power is Jesus. He is the theme and focus of the Bible. The focus of God's Word is entirely centered on Jesus. If you miss Jesus, you miss life.

The Assemblies of God have a good deal of material demonstrating this point. Please see the following links:

http://ag.org/top/Beliefs/Statement_of_Fundamental_Truths/sft_full.cfm

http://ag.org/top/Beliefs/Statement_of_Fundamental_Truths/sft_full.cfm#3

http://ag.org/top/Beliefs/index.cfm

Like a road map, the Bible should leave the earnest reader at the feet of Jesus and in awe of His glory with the Father. If you read the Bible and do not end up in Christ, you missed it all and need to start over. Just like a map from city to city; you need to go back to the starting point and follow the trail again until you get to the right destination.



The LDS and the Jehovah's Witness's would have you believe that they have Jesus centered in their faith, but they do not. They offer you a misrepresentation of Jesus. Just like you were trying to go from Houston to New York and wound up in San Fransisco. They would be there to argue that you were looking at the Brooklyn Bridge and not the Golden Gate. The Christ they present in their faith is not the one I know from my Bible. My Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Jesus is one with the Father.



John 10:30I and my Father are one.



He is not inferior or the "brother of Satan". (See links from Watchtower site and LDS below)



The following link is from the Watchtower website, scroll to the bottom and you can see a table yielding their beliefs. Nested among many truths that they do share of God's Word are many errors, here is 1 major error "Christ is God's Son and inferior to Him". They have taken a great deal of scripture out of context to arrive at this conclusion based on the wisdom of man. See the link below.

http://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/index.htm?article=article_04.htm



You can also find links for LDS beliefs, but I found a more concise page here

http://mormoninfo.org/index.php?id=1


To sum it all up: know Christ

2 Peter 1:16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

I have a question. For all those of the Jewish, Islamic, LDS, and other faiths that deny the scriptures and the deity of Christ. Did the founder who wrote your doctrines demonstrate any power besides the ability to beguile many with false doctrine and lead you captive into rituals and things of mans wisdom?

The disciples of Jesus preached the Word with power, signs and wonders confirming their word.
I do not see that power as common as it should be in my Church. But we have the expection of it to happen. Where is your hope?

Bible Classes In Public Schools

Praise God that this measure passed in Texas. Pray for those who will now execute the work. Many are opposed to this of course. Many are allowing Satan to work through them to try to fight this and keep God's Word out of the reach of people. That is a work of Satan. Remember in the parable of the sower, when the seed was sown, the first on the spot were the fowls of the air. Jesus said, this was Satan and he came to take the word out of the hearts of the people that it was sown into. Pray for these people who oppose this measure. Pray the gospel comes to them and pray confusion over the works of the devil that they come to no effect.
