Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry today August 20, 2021, at 10AM Pacific Time for another edition of our program The Bible on Trial. We have been exploring the concept that prophecy is not as immutable and set in concrete as most Christians believe; that there is not only 'Death Road' prophecies in the Bible, but there are also Live Road prophecies that have supplanted the prophecies that we have grown up with, that depict a frightening future for not only the Kingdom of the Heavens, but for the world. 'What if' the prophecies of the end of time have been changed by the choices the United States of America and the world have me in the election of 2016? What is those choice have changed the trajectory of prophecy from the death and destruction of Revelation 7,8,9, 13 and more into the prophecies of peace and prosperity that are seen in the choices that God gave ancient Israel in the past? Tune it to our program today and gain insight to this fascinating and wonderful alternative to the alternate prophecies that provide the truth as to who God really is, and what THEY are about to do for the world at: blogtalkradio.com/sot.

Continuing our study into the shift from the Death Road prophecies seen in Rev. 13, to the prophecy in Revelation 10 of the Seven Thunders, that  has put the world on the Life Road. Join Spirit of Truth Ministry today August 14, 2021, at 10AM for our program The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling, on: blogtalkradio.com/sot.

Win the battle but lose the war~ There is something amiss in the world today, and it has to do with data analytics. Perspective is the key! If a person sets up the parameters for a theory before they have collected the data to support it, the only thing they get is 'faith' that their theory works the way they wish. I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Author of Sherlock Holmes stories. If your perspective informs your data you will always find what you wish to find in result, whether it is correct or not. If your data informs your perspective then you might not like the result, but you will always find a usable truth. Raw data is never used in a vacuum, there is alway a 'catch' that allows an unscrupulous 'expert' to manipulate the data to their own purposes. This is what we are seeing in both 'settled' science and religion today with respect to not only the 'pandemic' but to to where Biblical prophecy says we are in time. As we get closers to the 'END' of time the manipulation of the time-lines by the enemy is becoming more apparent in how data and the ubiquitous 'facts' are being used to create an environment that the enemy hopes will be so confusing that people will give up their attempts to understand just where we are in time. This is no longer the case. The unsullied data from both Scripture and history shows that we are no longer inside of the Death Road prophecies of Revelation 7, 8, 9 and 13. Our time line has changed to the Life Road Prophecies as seen in Daniel 2 and Revelation 10, that Rick Sterling has been defining since August 14-15, 2020. Even though it appears that the good guys are loosing the battle, they are winning the war. The truth is winning.

Something about Truth~ There is something about Truth that makes people uncomfortable. The reason for this is that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (at one time or another) has believed a lie as if it is the truth, and when confronted with this as a fact the person then has a very difficult choice to make; to continue to believe the lie and try to live with it without a change of perspective, or change perspective based on that truth and lose friends and family because of the new belief.  "When faced with Truth a person must either accept it, or learn to live with the idea that they are a liar." Living with Truth is hard. Choosing to live inside of a lie kills the spirit, and hardens the soul. The Bible is repleat with examples of this identity; Cain, Pharaoh, King Saul. Judas Iscariot, the 'apostle' Paul/Saul, to name a few. These people were directly confronted with Truth, and made the decision to ignore it, and continue to believe the lie as if it was the Truth.  We see this identity today in the world of politics, religion, science, art, and every human endeavor. NO ONE likes the idea that they have been fooled. But a true fool is a person that continues to say, "That just can't be true" when faced with uncompromising evidence to the contrary. Emotion is a key player in this process. When every expert, every authority figure, every friend, every loved one, believes something is true but you KNOW differently, it is almost impossible to stand up to them in the classroom, workplace or home and tell them that they are wrong, because you don't want to hurt their feelings, because you love them. Jesus came to this earth to testify to the truth (John 18: 36-37), BECAUSE He loved us so much that He could do no other. He knew learning the truth would hurt us, but He did it anyway. Can we do less?

Continuing from 8/6/2021

Fact-Checkers~ If you have been on Face Book at any time in the past year of so you have seen a phenomena that has taken that platform by storm - the fact-checker. These people are hired by Face Book to rebute the comments of people that are so obviously uninformed about reality that they need 'guidance' as to what is real and what is fantasy. Anything that disagrees with the political, social or scientific perspective of the 'editors' of Face Book get 'corrected' (re: censored) by their staff of 'experts', so that their reader will be put back on the correct tract to being properly informed. These 'fact-checkers' are doing the same things that desperate high school students do when they have a writing assignment due the next day and haven't started the project; they pick a topic, and invent 'facts' that support their own personal ideas as to the truth of the subject, then they go to a 'credible' source such as Wikipedia and find an article by some unknown writer that supports their belief, and cite that article as proof. These students don't have time to fully research the assigned topic, so they invent the proof the support the theory. True research takes time and effort, none of which these fact-checkers have time to do properly.  A great man once said, "Facts don't care about your emotions!" How you feel about a subject has no bearing on the truth of the matter. Yet as we have seen the idea that 'facts don't lie' is itself a lie. Of course facts can lie, as long as you pick only those 'facts' that support your position. The Truth of God and how They work in this world is not based on emotional content, it is based upon the Words that God sent to earth with His own Son, and gave to humanity through His servants the prophets, and His own eyewitness disciples. This IS Truth!

Spirit of Truth Ministry, under the direction of Rick Sterling, has for the past 24 plus years been encouraging people to not accept the status quo of Truth, but to look at and research the things of Truth for themselves to see what makes sense, and what is fantacy. As we get closer to the 'God's honest Truth' (is there any other kind?) the lines for where fantacy ends and truth begins has become blurred inside of the reality in which we now find ourselves. The time-line that is today's present is nothing like the reality of the time-line that is seen in the prophecies of the end that is seen the parts of Daniel and Revelation that have been used over the years by the Church to frighten believers into accepting to Doctrines of the Church as sacrosanct. The Timing Chart of the End (http://spiritoftruthministry.net/STM/Must_Read/Entries/2010/6/7_Timing_Chart_of_the_End.html) that was developed by Rick in 2010 as part of the study into these (end time) prophecies clearly shows that had this time-line been fulfilled as defined by those prophecies themselve we would all be in heaven right now. So what happened? As you heard on the program of yesterday on The Bible on Trial  (July 30, 2021-https://www.blogtalkradio.com/sot/2021/07/30/the-bible-on-trial), and indeed since August 14 and 15 of 2020 on our BTR podcasts, it is becoming more and more clear that the present in which we find ourselves is NOT the 'present' of the prophecies of the end as currently taught by the Churches. There has been a shift in the reality of prophecy from the Death Road of the old prophecies to the New Reality of the Life Road as seen in the prophecies of Daniel 2, and Revelation 10.  We encourage you to join Rick Sterling and the Spirit of Truth Ministry team each week as we go further into this new understanding of prophecy that shows tha the old truth is fantacy, and the new truth reality.

Moving Day~ My daughter, her husband, and my one- year old grandson are moving house. They are moving 12 miles from a now obviously temporary residence of a year or so, to a permanent residence in the town where my wife and I live, where they purchaced their  'new' home. They have been sorting, cleaning, packing, boxing items, and preparing for this move for about 6 weeks, when they were first told by the landlord that the place where they had been living was to be sold. So for them today and tomorrow is 'moving day'. We have been cleaning and preparing their new home for occupancy by changing the locks, having the carpets cleaned, painting the living room, planning a cabinet and mirror change in the bathroom, ordering and still waiting for appliances to be delivered, and the myriad other things that go into taking and established house-hold and moving it In Total to another locations. In some ways this is a joy, knowing that where they will live from here on will be much better than the old place, but the actually 'doing' the the things that make this possible is not fun, because it is a LOT of work.  Getting from Here to Eternity is also a LOT of work, don't let anyone fool you about this fact. The old things that have seemed so important, that have kept you from learning the truth about how salvation works and what it takes to become righteous in fact must be boxed up and thrown away, in order to make room for the NEW truth that will see you through to your new home. The dwelling place where you will live for eternity has to be prepared, fixed up, in order to accomodate the 'new you' that will reside in this 'new home'. Don't be fooled, this takes a lot of work, and does not happen overnight, or with one 'conversion event'. Entering and finishing the process of sanctification is how you get the 'house key' to your new home

Today Rick Sterling will continue from yesterday's study into exactly why we are in a new and different timeline than the one seen in the main body of Revelation. There is information in both Daniel 2 and Matthew 24 that more than suggest that what the Faithful and Wise Bondservant, and hence his fellow servants are doing today is demponstration that the prohecies of the Death Road have been overtaken and supplanted by the Prophecies of the Life Road.  Join us on Saturday (Sabbath) July 24, 2021 for another episode of The Revelation of jesus with Rick Sterling, brought to you by Spirit of Truth Ministry. This program will be on at 10 AM Pacific time, on: blogtalkradio.com.

Symptoms~ You would think that after all these years I would recognize the symptom of a condition that if I noticed it right away could be controlled with a specific drug taken in a specific dose in a specific way. The problem is that I didn't see it early because I wasn't looking for it where it appeared in my body. In fact, after all these years of mostly successfully controlling this condition it had never manifest where it did. Without going into specifics, my not recognizing the unique symptom and taking appropriate action right then, I have been suffering debilitating pain in my knee that yesterday put me to bed for most of the day. The truely sad thing is that I am on vacation with my family and extentions, and I missed out on a wonderful hike, some wonderful views, and delightful memories. This, all because I was thinking that my knee pain was one thing, when it was another. (Note-the medicine is working, and the pain is deminished where I will not miss the adventures of today.) Our spiritual natures also have this same dynamic. We have been taught certain things over the years, and those teachings have become a part of our spiritual natures, thus becoming the norm for the way we operate in the spiritual realm. We look at our lives a certain way, because that is the way we have always viewed our relationship with God. We have spent years cultivating our identity with respect to how eternal life operates, and it appears to work just fine, so why look anywhere else.  And then something hits us out of the blue, that causes us to question our spiritual existence, and whether we are on the correct path to salvation. We will then ignore this 'symptom' that if addressed would lead to life, taking us off a road that is leading to death, but we don't recognize it because we aren't looking for it 'over there'. The cure is found in the words of Jesus.
