Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Disaster Stikes~ The wide spread devastation from the massive tornado in Mayfield Kentucky and other parts of the midwest is incredible. The loss of life would be tragic at any time, but is even more so during this Christmas season. The insurance companies that have underwritten the property and lives are going to take a huge hit into the billions of dollars, and the emotional and spiritual toal on the people will last for a long time.  The question that I asked myself when I saw video of the destruction was 'why now'? An yes, I realize that some bad things just happen, and there is no conspiracy assiciated with these events. Yet given what is going on in the economic, political, spiritual and political world, where the 'Deep State' players are taking hit after hit, and losing on every front, it just seems more than coincident to me that something such as this horrific tornado that by virtue of its size and effect will cause people to focus on this temporal event, such that they miss the critical events that are taking place that will change the course of history for the world. Every time the world gets close to an event that will change the world for the better something has occured to distract the people from pushing through to a better and more fulfilling existance. This is the essence of the difference between the Life Road and the Death Road outcomes that we here at Spirit of Truth Ministry have been talking about since Rich Sterling introduces the concept in August of 2021. So just to be clear; the world has now transitioned from the Death Road prophecies to the Life Road outcomes, and we are seeing the last desparate attempts by Satan to stop it from happening. Do not lose heart or focus just because disaster strikes. Know that this is just Satan exercising his last attempts to stop something that cannot be stopped. We are almost there, so never, never, never give up!

Rain, Reins, Reign~ These words are examples of homophones - words that sound the same, but are spelled differently, and have three distinct meanings. It rained here in 'sunny' Southern California last night, much needed, and as yet too little to make a difference. And this morning when I got out of bed and looked outside there was still a slight drizzle in the air, and water coating the cars and driveway. These homophones captured my thoughts in Spirit and Scripture.  Rain ~ aids growth, refreshes, cleanses.  "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." Isa. 55:10-11. Rein ~ directs or guides to a destination. 'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent." Rev. 3:19. Reign ~ The rule of a Sovereign. 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Rev, 3:21. These three words define the identity of the Salvation that Jesus taught to His own disciples while He was here on earth. The words of Jesus are the words of Life, the water of Life. His words come from the Father, and are the onl words that will lead us to eternal life. They guide, reprove, and discipline us in the ways of Truth. And if we Abide (live) in His words we will truly be His disciples, and gain mastery (sovereignty) over ourselves and over sin, and thus gain entry into the Kingdom of God. NO ONE other than Jesus teaches this system of Truth.

Fog~ One of the axioms of military combat is that a plan of action never survives first contact with the enemy. This is also called 'The Fog of War". The solution to this problem is to have field and company grade leadership that knows the plan, but is able to adapt to different circumstances on the fly, with the abiity to make decisions without enough solid information to know the result before the fact.. And during this period of uncertainty due to lack of information about the enemies movements, disposition of force, or what is not in sight, that ability to decide 'right now' is incredibly important to the success or failure of the operation. I was watching TV news this morning to get the 'lay of the land' so-to-speak, and they showed video of the Los Angeles basin, and along the coast, covered in fog. Under the fog eveything was grey and dismal, but above the fog from the helicopter the sun was shining, and the low laying cloud tops were white. Right now there are many people that are living in a 'fog', where they don't really know the truth about what is going on in the country or in the world. They hear news and see reports of a 'new' Covid variant, or reports of a school shooting, or people being accosted and robbed on the street or in their homes, and they are frightened. They see what is happening in Washington D.C., and i other countries, where the leadership is either very incompetent or downright evil in their handeling of the political situations facing their countries, and they can't see a way forward to a brighter future. They are in a 'fog'! So what would happen if there was information that could lift that fog that is surrounding the world today; a spiritual fog that has been manufactured to do exactly what fog is supposed to do-keep people from seeing the truth. The Truth has already lifted the fog of the spiritual war we are in, if you look for it.

One letter off~ "Uif Cjcmf po Usjbm". Doesn't this sentence look as if it is written in an foreign language? If it was another language you would have to be able to know which language, and the either learn it, or get a translation,in order to know what it said. What if it was an important life saving sentence that if you could not translate it you might die. How would you be able to know how to deal with this 'language' in order to find the meaning?  In code breaking this sentence is written in what could be called a positional substitution algorithm, where you alter the position of each letter by a defined number of positions either forward or backward from the original letter in the alphabet; in this case, and for the sake of simplicity, the alteration is one position after. So now you can decipher it. Give it a try. Go back one letter and find out what it says. Finding the correct formula for finding the meaning and understanding End Time Prophecy in the Bible can feel just like seeing the above sentence for the first time, and not knowing how to deal with it. Bible prophecy can be intimidating and confusing, because most people don't to the algorithm with which to decipher the meanings. Perspective it lost when you don't understand the method for finding the understanding. And when people don't know HOW to understand they often throw up their hands in frustration and give up trying to understand the life saving meanings within those prophecies that can save their lives. This is what we do here a Spirit of Truth Ministry. We show people the method with which to come to a reasonable understandning as ot where and WHEN we are in time, in relation to the prophecies of the end of time listed in the Bible. It is critical to know that we are no longer on the Death Road, but have migrated to the Life Road prophecies. Stick with us and learn why!

Starting in August of 2021 Rick Sterling and Spirit of Truth Ministry have researched and presented here on our Blog Talk Radio station a new approach to End Time Prophecy that is stunning in it's scope, with major implications for how these different prophecies will affect how people view spirituality, and how this change will affet the fate of the world.  The Christian community sees the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation as a horror show that pits the Saints against Satan and his hords in a battle that spills over from univeral religious persecution that is lead by the Roman Catholic Church, and culminates in a 'Mark of the Beast' that requires everyone to submit to the will of the Dark Lord or be put to death. In this view of prophecy all hell breaks forth on earth, where war, plague, famine and wild beasts terroize the people of the world into full submission to Satan. Many see the vaccine for Covid a this mark, which for better or worse fuels the movement to reject this 'jab'. And yet, the new insight and understanding of both Revelation 10 and Daniel 2 shows that the current understanding of End Time Events is flawed, because the Reality Stream that would have to be in place for this to happen has been switched a a different Reality. That switch became apparent in November 2016 when the results of the US Presidential Election did not go the way that the 'Deep State' needed to finish their 16 year plan for the subjugation of the world. The Prophetic time line that is seen in much of Revelation changed, and what Satan was trying to put into place will now no longer happen, because the time for it to have happend is past. Prophecy has changed from the Death Road to the Life Road. Instead of experiencing Death and Destruction the world will now experience Life, Peace and Prosperity. This will allow the world the time to understand how Salvation really works, without coersion by the Evil One.

Thanksgiving After~ What are you thankful for? That is the question that is asked more often today than at any other time of the year in America. There are some years in which we can say that we are more thankful than others, and this past year may not be one of them, what with Covid-19, a radical change in Govenment, and a general unease about what is to come. Thanksgiving Day in the past has perenially been about hopeful optimism, and a sense that the future would be better than the past. But many people in the America today, and indeed the world, have been captured by a picture not described in Norman Rockwell's Thankgiving, where the family is gathered around the Dining room table just about to start the feast, where everyone has access to the bounty of life, and is prepared to enjoy it without guilt or shame because others in the world don't have as much. This seems to be an ideal whos time has come and gone, as each night on the nightly new we see images that continually show hunger, disease, homelessness, riots, descent, and much pain and suffering. Both of these perspectives are true, yet according to prophecy in the Bible only one of these realities will survivie the coming of Truth to the world. That is because only one of those pictures is true, the other is a complete and utter lie, fabricated to bring a overwhelming sense of hopeless, such that if you don't go along with the pervailing leadership then you will be made to suffer more depredation and pain that humans can take. Spirit of Truth Ministry has an understanding of these prophecies that are totally different that what is seen in much of Revelation. Peace and Prosperity for the entire world is just around the corner for those that love God and love the truth. We urge you to listen to our programs each week, and you will gain a sense of a reality that is far away from the reality in which we now live, because Reality has changed.

Courage~ Yesterday, the world saw an especially dramatic expression of courage in a jury of 12 men and women that decided that a young man was innocent of murder. The world of the Main Stream Media had already conviced Kyle Rittenhouse of murder, driving public opinion through a frenzy of lies about what he did, and why he did it, even to the extent that the President of the United States declared him guilty "before the fact". But the facts told a different story, and when presented with the "Facts in Evidence" the jury did the only thing that the law allowed, and that was to exonerate him, and declare him Not Guilty. This has generated a predictable response from those who exist on lies and deceit. The accusations of 'racism' and 'white supremacy' fly hot and heavy in those that have chosen to place emotion, blatant lies, and their own feelings about what should have been the outcome, over evidence and truth.  Isa 5:20  "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness". It takes real courage to try to find truth, because in order to find truth a person must first take their own closely held paradigms of life and replace them with something that initially may 'sound' like a lie, but after examination and reflection turns out to be 180 degree away from those beliefs. People that live on emotion have a very difficult time doing this, because the truth doesn't care about your emotions. When you align your emotions with the Truth, you know you are making progress toward true understanding. When Jesus was here on earth He had the same problems communicating truth to those to whom truth was anathema. Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3: 3.

It's the last Friday beforet Thanksgiving and Christmas merchandise has been up in the hardware store where I work since the end of October. This is the norm for this 'season', because if we don't get it up then we will be WAY behind in sales by Thanksgiving.  This used to be NOT the norm. I remember as a boy growing up in Glendale Ca., that the no one, either private or public, put up Christmas Holiday decorations until the day AFTER Thanksgiving. According to my parents, this was because we needed to spend time thinking about what we were thankful for, instead of what we were wishing for. In those days the idea of shop until you drop was not a 'thing'. Yes, we bought presents for each other (or most probably in elementary school MADE the presents), but the societal model was to be greatful for what we had, and not demand a constant 'more more more'. I believe that our society today has lost sight of the concept that we are incredibly fortunate to live in the USA, where instead of our every dream coming true at the drop of a credit card, we have the opportunity to live in a freedom that was the reason that the Pilgrims made the arduous journey from Europe to the Americas, and through the burning desire for Freedom to live, and move and have their being in a place where despots could not kill you on a whim, and where success was a matter of hard word, perserverance, and trust that God would work His will in their lives. And Today I actually see that same love for freedom, with a large helping of a love of Truth, hovering just under the surface of the diabolical situation in which we find ourselves, due to a small reserve of people that mimic the ideals of the Kings and Princes from which our Founders made their escape in the late 15th Century.  We are just about to see this Renewed Freedom break forth as the dawn in this world.

Truth Always Offends Someone~ "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." ~ Thomas Paine "When a person who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease being honest." ~ Richard Humpal, J.D. We have grown a culture in the United States (and indeed the world) where the Idea of 'free speech' has become regulated it by the concept that if you offend anyone by what you say YOU are at fault for the offense, not the truth which you speak. Our culture has become biased toward not offending anyone about anything, such that many people feel that if they speak the truth and there is a backlash against them from an offended party that accuses them of 'hate speech' it must be their fault, and not the fault of the person who claims offense. Speech is not "FREE" if the person speaking it can be brow-beaten into retracting it because they are being threatened with a legal or physical response by someone that simply rejects what they have said as a lie. The people that believe they and only they have the correct concept of 'Trooth' ,and are willing to use force of any kind to establish it as an unchallenged fact are themselves denying others the ability to question that concept, and are a limiting freedom of speech. The idea that "Faith allows a person to believe a lie as if it is the Truth, without accountability" (Rick Sterling) is the root cause that allows the offended to prevail against a person that simply does not want the 'rock the boat', and cause someone to be mad at them. The idea that we can 'live and let live', and 'each to his/her own' is anathema to the propogation of truth in the world. Jesus knew this intimately while He was here on earth. Yet He was unafraid to speak the truth even when it put Him on the cross. If we say we love the truth, can we to any less?
