Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Refusing Eternal Life~ Why on 'God's green earth' would anyone refuse eternal life if it was offered by the God of Life? This is the choice that was offered by Jesus to the Rich Young Man that asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" (Matt. 19:16). The stumbling point for this very wealthy person was the fact that present 'things' meant more to him than some nebulous future. The spiritual identity of 'eternal life' was not sufficient for him to give up his present state of being, that is, fabulous physical wealth. There are people even today that are making this same choice, given the opportunity that is being presented in the upcoming currency reset to aquire earth shattering wealth instead of a future filled with service, sacrifice and sorrow for a time here on earth, in favor of eternal life in the future. The interesting thing is that God never said you couldn't have both, this because what you receive in both instances depends entirely on your spiritual identity - do you love God more than "All the tea in China", or do you love God, and being in His service, and trust Him to give you everything you need to perform that service both here on earth, and in the heavens? As we have seen these past months we are at a cross roads, where we as a world have chosen Life rather than death, blessings rather than curses, prosperity rather than poverty. But are we willing to act on the knowledge that we have as to where we are in time, or will be refuse to trust God and believe that we are in a different future than the one we have seen in the Death Road prophecies of Revelation. Do we believe the lies we have been taught by those that would keep us enslaved, or will we through off the shackles of those lies and embrace the truth that we are in a New Reality that brings life?

The Rest of the Story~ Those of you that are old enough will remember a radio personalitiy named Paul Harvey, who was one of the most beloved commentators of the 1960's to the 1980's. He could tell stories in a way that put you inside the story, wanting to know more. Toward the end of the story he would say, "And now for the rest of the story", and he would reveal to you information about the person or situation that made everything you didin't understand about the story become clear. Without this information you would be without resolution, and be highly unsatisfied with the ending.  Here is my example: This morning my wife left me. Not only did she leave me, but she left me for a woman. In fact, she is right now flying on Alaska Airlines to Walla Walla Washington to be with this woman. She made it clear that she loves this woman with all her heart, and that there was nothing I could do or say that would stop her from going to be with her. in today's news media this story is tragic for me, but has a happy ending for my wife, who after 39 years of marriage found her true love, and is leaving me to start a new life. The head line might read, "Husband of 39 years loses his wife to female lover." Now for the rest of the story. Becky's has a sister that lives in Walla Walla, and has becomse ill. Becky loves her sister so much that she bought a plane ticket to fly to visity her for a few days. Yes, she did leave me behind, because someone has to take car of the animals while she is away. That would be me. Without this information you could make any story you want out of the sketchy information. But with all the information you can come to the proper conclusion. This is what we do at Spirit of Truth Ministry. We take information given in Bible prophecy and give you the rest of the story.

Join Spirit of Truth Ministry today, May 14, 2021, for another excursion into the Truth, and some of the interesting twists that have been taken to get to the truth about where we are in time, and what we can expect in the near future.

Currency of Heaven~ Money just isn't the same anymore. It used to be that paper currency was all there was, and every country had their own. The common factor in all currencies in the past was that they were backed by a common asset - gold. Fort Knox was the repository of the gold that backed the US Dollar until Pres. Nixon took America off of the gold standard in 1971. The Silver Certificate bill gave way to the Federal Reserve Note, allowing inflation to rear it's ugly head, and put the entire world onto a system that is based upon the 'faith' that a dollar bill is actually worth the price of the paper it is printed on. Today all of the world's currencies are FIAT, i.e., not backed by any hard asset, but simply by the 'full faith and CREDIT' of the country that sponsors the currency. Soon there will come a time when the 209 world currencies will again be backed by hard assets - precious metals, and other in-ground assets. The currecnies again will have intrensic value, not just a 'declared' value that is based upon a shared delusion. This is the same system that has been used in the religious systems of the world since Jesus returned to the Heavens some 2,000 pluis years ago. At Sinai, God the Father gave Moses a set of Laws that if put into practice would have set Israel apart from all of the 'religions' of the world that relied on the faith of the practitioner that 'their god' was real. Israel rejected this system, preferring to believe that salvation came by heritage not by keeping the Law. Jesus came to earht the try and get Israel back on track, by giving them the 'gold standard' of His Words. But this didn't happen. A counterfeit 'truth' was presented by a false apostle that taught that 'faith' was more important that fact, and truth was less important than simple belief. This is about to change.

Spirit of Truth Ministry is NOT a money-making endeavor, far from it. We have never, and will never beg for money (as a waif on a street corner) in order to fund a lavish lifestyle; none of those of us that participate in the operations of this ministry get a single dime from our efforts to keep the information flowing to those that want and need to hear it. This is sometimes discouraging, as there have been times when just having enough money to pay for our web sites, and the Blog Talk Radio station, has been an 'iffy' proposition. We have not set up a Go Fund Me page, and even though we have a 'Donation' page on our main web site, we never talk about it. Yet God and the Holy Spirit has ALWAYS come through with enough to keep us going.  So DON"T send money. So WHY to we keep going when there does not seem to be any point in the exercise? Because THIS is what God has called us to do, and BY GOD we will do it until the end.  We KNOW God is working with us for one simple reason - You will hear things on our programs The Bible on Trial and The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling that you will not hear anywhere else; things so strange and wonderful that it is impossible for this information to have come from a human mind. The Holy Spirit is working with us (especially Rick) because the prophetic and spiritual understanding that is being given makes so much sense that it could only have come from the Words of Jesus and of God through our Mother, the Holy Spirit. So join us today April 7, 2021 for our program The Bible on Trial, at 10 AM PST to hear what the fuss is all about, and see if you don't agree that what you hear must be from God: blogtalkradio.com/sot.

First Rule~ When a teacher has to deal with brand new material for a class of students the first rule of which he/she must convince the class is that they don't know what they don't know. This can be very difficult in some cases because students often feel that their own understanding of the  knowledge of a particular subkect is ubiquitous, i.e., universally known, and they don't actually need to learn what you are teaching them. One common phrase given in response to a teacher introducing new material is, "I already know that!" This is particuarly true in higher grades.  Admitting that you don't know what you don't know frees you to bring an inquisitive mind to the subject, uninhibited by preconceived notions of what 'should be', and allows you to establish the mind set of simply 'What IS'. Without this, there is NO learning, and the thought processes that are required for establishing the logic stream that leads to understanding can never happen. This is particularly true in "subjective" subjects such as the study of prophecy and the order of End Time Events. If you are inculcated into a well established 'religion' that has it's own unique prophetic understanding, then it is virtually impossible to go backward to the point of saying "I don't know what I don't know", and start over from the beginning of the learning curve, and you will never be able to see the logical process that will eventually allow you to see and understand Truth.  Why is this important? Because without doing this you can't humble yourself, and admit that you might just be wrong in how you view the prophecies of the End. So rather than gaining a sense of peace, you are constantly worrying about where you are in time, and won't know what you need to know to be an effective servant of the God you claim to love.

Repair~ Have I ever told you that I HATE doing car repairs? And knowing Rick (Sterling) as I do I know that he is not enamoured with doing car repairs either. The reason that I began doing auto mechanics in my youth was that my dad was not about to buy any of his kids (two sisters and a brother) new cars when good used cars were fairly cheap in the 1960's. My dad grew up as a farm boy where nothing was thrown away-it was repaired. He wanted me and my brother to have the ability to buy cars cheap and repair them.  Yesterday I spent 3 1/2 hours putting a new neutral safety and transmission shift switch in my 1999 Saturn SL-1. This after having earlier put in a rebuilt valve body in the transmission because of various OBDII codes that came from my tester. This old car has given wonderful service to our family since my father-in law bought it new, but any more it is just one thing after another, and I am sick of it. This is the final repair I will do on this car. I'm going to fix it, and as soon as I can I'm going to sell it (or give it away) and get something else. There comes a time when it is counter productive to through good money after bad. The same is true for the old idea that we are "Saved by grace throught faith"! This 'new plan' is now an old, outmoded idea that has not worked from it's beginning in the first century C.E., when Paul invented it. It is time stop trying to repair something that is broken beyond repair. It is time to get rid of it and go back to the original Plan of Salvation that God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden, told to Ancient Israel in the Old Testament, and is the reason Jesus came to earth to renew for the Kingdom of Heaven.  The church has been trying to fix something that never needed repair, because they believed the big lie as if it was true.

Buyer's Remorse~ We all have had the opportunity to regret a purchase. You look at a shiney new car, and your heart goes 'pitter-patter', you smell the leather seats, and look at the fancy touch screen info-tainment center, and you tell yourself you just have to take this car home. But the instant you drive it off the lot you know in your heart of hearts you have made a BIG mistake.  Regret can come from being given too much information too quickly, such that it disguises the critical information you need to make a good decision. The other thing that promotes buyers remorse is going into a sales situation (merchandise or ideas) not knowing what you need to know to understand the pitfalls and problems of a particular issue. The job of a good salesperson is to give the buyer just enough data to make the sale, and not enough for the buyer to know when they have been had. And often that very salesperson does not know all the details about the problems of what they are selling to be able to tell the customer what the problems will be with their purchse down the road.  We at Spirit of Truth Ministry have seen this situation regularly play out time and again in the spiritual sense. A 'believer' has been taught over a long period of time by another sincere believer that salvation is simply believing that Jesus dies for their sins, and all they must do to be saved is claim the 'blood of Jesus', that He died for their sins, and now they are saved. What these people don't know, and often don't want to hear, is that down the road they will regret not knowing the truth of salvation that Jesus taught, that is different from what they were  taught in church, but by the time they have found out the truth it is too late. Buyers Remorse in the physical world can be difficult, but regret in the spiritual world can by a tragedy. Learn Truth, No Regrets!

Our recent studies here at Spirit of Truth Ministry have been showing that the study of End Time Prophecy has not been the stagnant, boring, insipid and uninteresting process that so many Christians see this type of prophecy to be. If you have missed it, what Rick and the Spirit of Truth Team have found is that there is an alternate reality to the horror and terror that is seen in the Death Road Prophecies in the book of Revelation, and that we have all been taught since the late 1800's. Beasts, earthquakes, fire and destruction that is seen in most of Revelation is so frightening for most people that they have no interest in learning about what is in store, because people don't like looking at events that will probably kill them before they see Jesus coming in the clouds. But WHAT IF there was another time stream that did not involve the blood and death that we have been taught is the path to eventual eternal life? What If God had placed in Revelation an alternative that included Peace and Prosperity rather than Death and Destruction as the main component of the Prophecies of the End? Under these conditions would you be interested in finding out what these prophecies say, and how they would affect how the world views God? Join Spirit of Truth Ministry today, April 23, 2021, for another edtition of The Bible on Trial, at 10AM PDT, and learn what is the reality that will show you the choice the world has already made, that puts us on a different path to eternal life!
