This series of short videos is one I treasure. They are about Dumitru Duduman's testimony and I believe a warning from God to the United States. I personally believe, as he stated, he was sent to America in 1984, to warn us of our destruction. I remember hearing him speak as I drove across the country. He passed on in 1997.
There is a very serious warning here, but for those who have stopped sinning, turned from their sin and obey God, there are magnificent promises! We all sin, but the scriptures tell us over and over about sins that keep us out of the kingdom of God. They are listed many times in my blog. In the Revelation, the last book of the Bible, Jesus gives a list in Revelation 21:8. The Apostles also list sins that keep us out of the kingdom of God. They are not just a check list. If you do not have an obedient heart, you must repent and follow Jesus. Brothers and sisters, protect your eyes and ears. Flee from sin.
There is much talk about preparing for the future as we see our financial system collapsing. Many are storing food and becoming self reliant. I do not think this is altogether wrong as it is wise to prepare when certain danger is coming, however, a collapse will likely bring forth a more totalitarian government which would greatly choke our liberties. The government of the New World Order is all but certain.
What is more important than preparing physically which many cannot, is to prepare spiritually by making sure we have surrendered to and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God and can take care of his children! How do we prepare as a Christian? We turn fully from sin and obey what the New Testament tells us to do and we do not do what it says not to do. We cannot do this in our own strength, however we can do it by "relying on his mighty strength". How do we do this? By putting on the whole armor of God so we "may be able to stand against the devil's strategies".
Shortly after Paul writes the following passage about how to stand using the armor of God, he gives a very serious warning in the very last words to the Ephesians.
23May peace and love, with faith, be with the brothers, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!r
24May grace be with allwhosincerely love the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!s
Do you really love him? To know Jesus, is to love him. To love him is to obey him. If you are not obeying him, repent and turn from your sins and follow Jesus. Love for him will grow. He paid the price for man's sin on the cross by taking the wrath of God that was do all of us, as all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. On our own efforts, we could never stand in the presence of True Love. He does not fellowship with sinners, but has to punish and separate sinners in the lake of fire, stopping their ability to sin. He sent Jesus to pay for sin. We will either accept his free pardon, or stand before a Holy God and be condemned for rejecting the only pardon for sin, Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Please, if you have not done so or believed at one time and are living in sin, turn from your sin and run to Jesus!
Ephesians 6 ISV
10Finally, be strong in the Lord, relying on his mighty strength.
11Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the devil’s strategies.j
12For ourk struggle is not against human opponents,l
but against rulers, authorities, cosmic powers in the darkness around us,m and evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.
13For this reason, take up the whole armor of Godso that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18Pray in the Spirit at all times with every kind of prayer and request. Likewise, be alert with your most diligent efforts and pray for all the saints.
Brothers and sisters, the following interview with Mr. Henry Gruver will greatly bless you! From my own experience I say that you will be blessed more than listening to the vast majority of pastors who tickle ears and protect their jobs while their congregation is being devastated as a result of the pastor failing to warn them of sin and the evil that is coming on our land.
Henry spent over 5 hours in heaven and has seen many interventions from the Lord. He speaks as a guest of a radio program. It is worth listening to so you may want to break it down into 20 minutes each.
Paul, talking to believers, tells us that the gifts of the Holy Spirit will be done away with when Christ makes everything right. They will then be unnecessary. Faith, hope and love remain, but the greatest of these is love. Are we growing in love? I was talking to the Father yesterday and was concerned about this. As a result of the great wickedness that is going on, it is so easy to become callus as we hear over and over about the evil things that are going on.
We must judge ourselves. Are we drifting away from walking in love? If we are, we are walking away from Jesus, who is Love. True love only has one source, Jesus the Messiah who gave himself over to his Father to receive the wrath of God for our sins. Because Jesus was God he survived it. There is nothing Jesus could have done to show his love for mankind than to take the wrath of God that is due each of us. He paid the price for sin. We could not. If we reject that, there is no hope for us as that leaves us under the wrath of God, unprotected by the blood of his Son.
We must trust Jesus, say no to the things we want, turn from our sin and follow him continually. Matthew 16:24 ISV. Do not give up brothers and sisters. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus' face!!
1 Corinthians 12 ISV 27Now you are the Messiah’sg body and individual parts of it. 28God has appointed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who help others, administrators, and those who speakh various kinds of languages.
31Keep on desiringj the better gifts. And now I will show you the best way of all. Continuing into 1 Corinthians 13 ISV
1If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing.
3Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself,abut have no love,I gain nothing.
8Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete. 10But when what is completec comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with.
11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways. 12Now we see only an indistinct image in a mirror, but then we will be face to face. Now what I know is incomplete,but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Continuing the post from yesterday we find further information regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Peter had just seen the Holy Spirit fall on the gentiles, but when Peter went to Jerusalem the Hebrew believers were upset that Peter had eaten with the gentiles. Peter then gives them the facts that occurred and tells the most wonderful story. The Holy Spirit has been given to the gentile believers just as it had to the Hebrew believers. Chapter 10 shows clearly that the way they knew the Holy Spirit was given was the gentiles spoke in tongues, in foreign languages. Acts 11 ISV
1Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the gentiles had also accepted the word of God. 2But when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who emphasized circumcisionadisagreed with him. 3They said, “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4Then Peter began to explain to them point by point what had happened. He said, 5“I was in the town of Joppa praying when in a trance I saw a vision: Something like a large linen sheet descended down from heaven, lowered by its four corners, and it came right down to me. 6When I examined it closely, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7I also heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it.’ 8But I replied, ‘Absolutely not, Lord, for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’ 9Then the voice from heaven answered a second time, ‘You must stop calling common what God has made clean!’ 10This happened three times. Then everything was pulled back up to heaven.
11“At that very moment three men arrived at the house where we were staying. They had been sent to me from Caesarea. 12The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitating. These six brothers went with me, too, and we entered the house of the man from Caesarea.b13Then he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his home and saying, ‘Send messengersc to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. 14He will discuss with you how you and your entire household will be saved.’
15“When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as he was first given to us. 16Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized withd water, but you will be baptized withe the Holy Spirit.’ 17Now if God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus, the Messiah,fwho was I to try to stop God?”
18When they heard this, they calmed down, and praised God by saying, “So God has given repentance that leads to life even to gentiles.”
Do we really understand what these passages are saying? Do you see why I plead over and over in my posts not to listen to man, but to get into the scriptures? Countless preachers and their followers ignore or condemn tongues, the very gift of the Holy Spirit while the fact is it is a sign of receiving the Holy Spirit. These people are literally trying to stop God as Peter says in verse 17. I lived most of my Christian life denouncing the gift of tongues. I also lived most of my Christian life as a powerless believer.
We are in the last days when if it is possible the very elect will be deceived. Repent of your sins. Surrender your will to the Lord Jesus Christ. Say no to the things you want. Seek the Lord with all of your heart. Follow him continually. Protect your eyes and ears from the filth of this world system. This includes TV, movies, worldly music and magazines. You are to be holy as God is holy. Get into the New Testament scriptures and obey what Jesus said to do and not to do. Do not trust man. Assemble with believers, but do not trust man and their doctrines. Build on Jesus Christ and the scriptures he gave us.
On the day of Pentecost, Peter addressed the crowd after the Holy Spirit came upon the believers..
Please note the following:
Verse 38 - You must repent/turn away from your sins. We are in the Apostasy and this critical point is being ignored. A person who repents is to be baptized in water. Then they will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. There is no "speaking in tongues" required. Speaking in tongues is a gift. Some receive it when they believe, some do not ever receive it and some will later in life.
Verse 42 - The first thing the believers did was to devote themselves to is the apostles teachings. Today's teachers are giving their own opinions, (writing books, etc.). Stay in the scriptures and trust no man!
Verse 46 - The believers went to the Temple. This is very important. Catholicism teaches the Catholic church was at the beginning, but actually the believers went to the Temple where the Jews went. They also rob Jesus from being the Rock and say it was Peter, but Paul says. "After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah".1 Corinthians 3:11.
Acts 2 ISV
36“Therefore, let all the peoplex of Israel understand beyond a doubt that God made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah!”y
37When the crowd that had gatheredz heard this, they were pierced to the heart. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38Peter answered them, “Every one of you must repentand be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiahaa for the forgiveness of your sins.
Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.bb39For this promise belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those who are distant, whom the Lord our God may call to himself.”
40Using many different expressions, Petercc continued to testify and to plead: “Be saved,” he urged them, “from this corrupt generation!” 41So those who welcomed his message were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added to their number.
42The believersdd continued to devote themselves to
and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.
44All the believers were united and shared everything with one another.gg45They made it their practice to sell their possessions and goods and to distribute the proceedshh to anyone who was in need. 46United in purpose,they
went to the Temple every day,
ate at each other’s homes,
and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.
47They were praising God and enjoying the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord was adding to their number those who were being saved.
The attached video is a must see. Michael Bodea is the grandson of Dumitru Duduman who the Lord sent from Romania to warn America judgment is coming. Michael translated as his grandfather preached. He is warning and encouraging the body of Christ also. So many people are falling away from the truth and many others are lukewarm. They do not know they are in danger of losing their souls and things will continue to get worse.
Are we in right standing with the Lord? Michael shows the dangers to our souls in the letters to the churches in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, along with other scriptures.
As I was writing my friend Nancy sent me the following quote. Per Wikipedia, William Booth was a British Methodist preacher who founded The Salvation Army and became its first General. Born in 1829 and died in 1912
“The chief danger of the 20th century will be
religion without the
Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without
repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without
God, and heaven without hell.” WILLIAM BOOTH
Brothers and sisters, are you judging yourselves? Are you caught up in the world system? Have you become lukewarm or cold? Today is the day of repentance. You may not have tomorrow.
If you have trusted in Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins and are following him, you have the Holy Spirit. Do not be deceived, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for God's children today. Do not reject them just because you were mis-taught or some misled Christian offended you when they said you have to speak in tongues to be saved. Tongues (foreign languages) is just one of the seven gifts the Holy Spirit gives to His children.
John 7 ISV
37On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to met and drink! 38The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart.”
39Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who were believing in him were to receive, because the Spiritu was not yet presentv and Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Do you realize we are told to desire spiritual gifts? How horrible it is that most teachers do not teach this and worse, they deny they are for today!! I spent most of my life being ignorant as to the gifts of the Spirit. Now I pray for them to be working in my life daily. Start reading your bible in 1 Corinthians 12 and discover the gifts that are given to God's children. Let God know you desire them! 1 Corinthians 14 ISV
1Keep on pursuing love, and keep on desiring spiritual gifts, especially the ability to prophesy.
The reason we do not receive what we ask for is made clear by the Apostle James. Remember, God tells us to be Holy as he is Holy. If we are filling our minds with trash and living a life of compromise, do we really think that God is going to give his Holy Spirit in great measure to us? If we live a life of compromise, we cannot be trusted as we would misuse the gifts. Even worse, we may be guilty of being hostile to God! James 4 ISV
1Where do those fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your selfish desires that are at war in your bodies, don’t they? 2You want something but do not get it, so you commit murder. You covet something but cannot obtain it, so you quarrel and fight. You do not get things because you do not ask for them! 3You ask for something but do not get it because you ask for it for the wrong reason
—
for your own pleasure

4You adulterers! Don’t you know that friendship with the world means hostility with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God. 5Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that Goda caused to live in us jealously yearns for us?b6But he gives all the more grace. And so he says,
As we move on through the New Testament with a primary focus on the warnings from God, we find Jude urging us to continue our vigorous defense of the faith that was passed down to the saints once and for all. Brothers and sisters, it appears we are the generation that will see the antichrist. We must set our hearts on Jesus the Messiah.
False teachers cover the land. We must make our calling and election sure. Jude tells us that the Lord saved his people from the land of Egypt and later destroyed those who did not believe. Are we living holy, obedient lives that show we believe? Today is the day of salvation. We are not promised tomorrow.
Matthew 16 ISV 24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously. 25Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it, 26because what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
Jude focuses primarily on those who commit sexual sins..
God's people who sinned while Moses was getting the Ten Commandments from the Lord.
God's angels who sinned, took on flesh and married human women, and gave birth to hybrid children.
Sodom and Gommorah
Jude 1 ISV
1From: Jude, a servant of Jesus the Messiah,a and yet a brother of James.
To: Those who have been called, who are lovedb by God the Father and kept safe by Jesus, the Messiah.c
2May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance!
3Dear friends, although I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share,
I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to continue your vigorous defense of the faith that was passed down to the saints once and for all.
4For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus the Messiah.d
5Now I want to remind you, even though you are fully aware of these things,
that the Lord who once saved his people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe.
6He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place.
They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.e
7Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and pursued homosexual activities,f serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.
8In a similar way, these dreamers also defile their flesh,
9Even the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil and fought over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him. Instead, he said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”h10Whatever these people do not understand, they slander.
Like irrational animals, they are destroyed by the very things they know by instinct.
and convict everyone of all the ungodly things that they have done in such an ungodly way,
including all the harsh things that these ungodly sinners have said about him.”n
16These people are complainers and faultfinders, following their own desires. They say arrogant things and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.
17But you, dear friends,must remember the statements and predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.o18They kept telling you, “In the last times there will be mockers, following their own ungodly desires.”p19These are the people who cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit.
23Save others by snatching them from the fire. To others, show mercy with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their sinful lives.r
24Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand joyful and faultless in his glorious presence, 25to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus the Messiah,s our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
Note:If you are a believer and do not pray with your mind and pray in the Holy Spirit (verse 20), ask God to fill you/baptize you with his Holy Spirit and give you the gift of languages.. See my posts:

Friend, are you far from God? Call out to Jesus the Savior while there is time. Jesus loves to forgive sinners. Turn from your sin and follow the only one who paid the price for sin and the only one who can forgive sin. Jesus who is God and became human. He is God and human today!
