To Pray to God — or Whoever – Rob Pue

Deuteronomy 6, the words of Moses: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.  And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

And a warning from Jesus in Matthew 18, “Whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Stay Away From Hospitals and Don’t Get the Jab – Rob Pue

In my last message, I shared with you the Globalist plan for planetary genocide — mass depopulation of the Earth, which has long been the dream of people like Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, and Luciferian “elites” throughout the world, in preparation for their “Great Reset” which has already been launched.

Their method is the COVID so-called “vaccines,” which in fact, are not vaccines at all, but experimental DNA- and RNA-altering poisons. I told you how — according the the CDC’s own VAERS data — more than a half million people in the US alone have suffered severe and terrible side effects, including strokes, heart failure, blood clots, brain disorders, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, Bells Palsy, inflammations of the brain and spinal cord, autoimmune diseases, miscarriage, infertility, deafness and blindness.  I also shared that in addition to these “side effects,” more than 16,000 people have “officially” died as a result of these injections.

Our Authority Over the Enemy – Rob Pue

Why does our culture and our world continue to spin deeper and deeper down the drain of sewage and depravity?  Everywhere we look, good is called “evil” and evil is called “good.”   Everything is backwards from God’s natural order.  Everything is a demonic counterfeit of God’s perfect plan and design. 

   Today, as we read in Romans 1, it seems God has given the world over to depraved, reprobate minds.  Vile affections, blood lust, worship of false gods.  “Filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, spiteful, proud, boasters, INVENTORS of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection (even for their own children); undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful.”  Is it any wonder that God has given most people in this world over to reprobate minds?

   A dark cloud of judgment has fallen upon our land.  And it is our own fault.  Why is the church today, so powerless?  Or perhaps better stated, why is modern American Christendom — the INSTITUTIONAL so-called “churches” — why are THEY so powerless and effeminate?  Outwardly, they practice a FORM of godliness, but they deny the power of GOD.  I dare say that MOST professing Christians and church-goers today are just as carnal as the worldly.  They may act “holy” during the “worshiptainment” they enjoy at their local “Godmart.”  But they really have no idea whatsoever what being a Christ-follower is really all about.  Salt that has lost the savor, therefore USELESS — except to be thrown out and trampled under the feet of men.  That is, if they ever HAD any “salt” to begin with.

   Increasingly, Lucifer and his demons are reigning on this earth.  Mind you, it is only because God Almighty allows it, for now.  But nevertheless, the demonic realm is very REAL, and very effective at destroying all who will fall for his lies and deceptions.  And make no mistake, ALL he offers are lies and deceptions, because he is the father of lies and there is no truth in him.  His goal is to lie, deceive and twist as many minds into godless rebellion as possible, leading to the ultimate death and destruction of as many of God’s image-bearers as possible.  That means YOU, friend.  We are ALL targets, simply because we are made in God’s image, and though our Creator is not willing that any should perish, MOST will, by their own choice.

   In the book of Job, we read that “One day, the sons of God (the angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.  The Lord asked Satan, ‘Where have you come from?’  ‘From roaming through the earth,’ Satan answered Him, ‘and walking around on it.’”

   Ezekiel 28 is a two-fold prophecy — regarding the proud, boastful King of Tyre, who thought he was a god.  The King’s judgment was pronounced:  “Because you regard your heart as that of a god, I am about to bring strangers against you, ruthless men from the nations.  They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will defile your splendor.  They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death.”  Such is always the end of those who celebrate “pride.”

   The second part of this message in Ezekiel seems to refer to Lucifer, Satan.  It reads, “You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.  You were in Eden, the garden of God.  Every kind of precious stone covered you…You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you.  You were on the holy mountain of God…From the day you were created, you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you.  Through the abundance of your trade (evil), you were filled with violence and you sinned.  So I expelled you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and banished you, guardian cherub.”

   The Lord goes on:  “Your heart became proud because of your beauty; for the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom.  So I threw you down to the earth…”

   Yes, Satan is a CREATED being, and was anointed by God and given the position of “guardian.”  But he rebelled against the Most High, and was cast down to the earth, where he remains today, as the father of lies, the enemy of our souls.  1 Peter 5 warns us that he now “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”  We are therefore warned to be SOBER-MINDED and WATCHFUL, and we have God’s promise that if we  resist him, firm in our faith, he will flee from us.  You see, he HAS to.  Because we — IF we have the Holy Spirit of God within us (and not ALL who claim the name of Christ actually DO)  — then WE have the very power and authority of God within us also to trample satan beneath our feet.

   In Matthew 10, we have this:  “Summoning His 12 disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out and to heal every disease and sickness.”  In Matthew 28, starting at verse 18, “Then Jesus came near and said to them, ‘ALL authority has been given to Me in heaven AND ON EARTH.  Go therefore, and make discples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to oberve everything I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  Yes, JESUS is with us — He is IN us — and gives us HIS authority on this earth.  And the authority of GOD includes authority over the devil and his demons 

   Look also at Luke 10:  Jesus commanded the seventy to go out, two by two into ‘every city and place.’  His directives were to “heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with diseases and DRIVE OUT DEMONS.”  But He warned that while the harvest is great, the workers are few.  He warned that His disciples would be going out as sheep among wolves.  The Christian life is NOT one of ease and comfort, not one of potlucks and ice cream socials and youth group pizza parties.  This is serious business.  This is our JOB.

   When the seventy returned to Jesus, they came with joy saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name!”  And Jesus replied, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.  Behold… I give you… all power over the enemy, but rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

   Friends, do you REALIZE — do you UNDERSTAND — that the supernatural spiritual realm is REAL and PRESENT right alongside us?  Though we cannot see it in the natural, it is no less real.  Demons and angels walk among us on this earth and the spiritual battle rages in the heavenlies and in this world.  The “prince of the power of the air” commands legions of demons to do his evil bidding among us every day.  But he can only do this if WE allow it, and open the doors to the demonic. 

   But knowing that God is INFINITELY more powerful than the father of lies, knowing that Jesus Christ Himself was manifested in this world, died, was buried and rose again, that He might destroy the works of the devil, WHY then, is this world descending so rapidly, now, into utter destruction? 

   1 Timothy 4:  “Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, THROUGH THE HYPOCRISY OF LIARS whose consciences are seared.”  I could do an entire sermon on that verse alone.  Today, MANY have departed.  MANY are following the deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.  And this Scripture TELLS US that these demonic teachings come through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared.  Dare I say that many — if not MOST — of our “churches” today have become nothing more than carnal, satanic social clubs, where professing “pastors”  NEVER address the topic of spiritual warfare.   Hireling  “shepherds” that will NEVER talk about the social, cultural, moral and political issues that are twisting our own minds and those of our children, destroying marriages (indeed, even redefining MARRIAGE to include unholy sodomite hedonism), tearing apart families, and dragging millions of souls to hell every day.  By their silence, they have given their consent.  Sadly, there are now an increasing number of churches CELEBRATING all this wickedness as well.  Not just remaining silent — now they are ADVOCATING for and CELEBRATING sodomy, infanticide, Islam, fornication, pornography, socialism, fascism and more.

    Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “I fear that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a complete and pure devotion to Christ.  For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit, which you had not received, or a different gospel, which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!”  Yes, there are MANY false Christs and false gospels and false spirits being preached today, and there are MANY who put up with it splendidly!

   God has placed before us a choice, between life and death.  Sadly, most have chosen the broad path that leads to destruction.  Even MOST who attend church regularly and do all the vain religious rituals, having neglected ENTIRELY the weighter matters.  But Paul continued, “Since we have this ministry because we were shown mercy, we do not give up.  Instead, we have renounced shameful secret things, not walking in deceit or distorting God’s message, but commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in God’s sight by an OPEN DISPLAY OF THE TRUTH!  But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.  In their case, the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

   What an admonition!  We are NOT to walk in deceit or distort God’s message but seek to touch EVERY PERSON’S CONSCIENCE.  How?  By AN OPEN DISPLAY OF THE TRUTH!  We are not to tell the carnal, worldly person “Jesus loves you, brother, just the way you are!”  That is a lie from the father of lies himself.  UNTIL we come to Christ in humble repentance and faith, we remain under God’s wrath, an enemy of the cross, and Scripture tells us we are of our father the devil, and the deeds of our father we will do.  And that is NOT OK!  God is not “alright” with that.  The wages of sin is death.  Instead, as much as we are able, with all our might, through the POWER of the Holy Spirit within us, we are to present to EVERY PERSON’S CONSCIENCE an OPEN DISPLAY OF THE TRUTH!  Unashamedly.  Boldly, but humbly.  For such WERE some of us!

   But the world is growing darker, folks.  And at an alarming speed.  Why is evil getting so bold so quickly?  Why are we seeing things coming upon the earth now that we would have never dreamed possible just a few years ago?  Because we have opened the doors — we have rolled out the red carpet — we have opened “portals” into the demonic spiritual realm.  We have done this by believing lies and by hiding from God’s light.  We do this every day through the entertainment we choose, through the sin habits we continue to indulge in, through continuing to allow millions of babies to be slaughtered in the womb.  And make no mistake, the devil and his demons FEED on the blood of the innocent.  The blood of the innocent is CURRENCY in the demonic spiritual realm.  We are under blood guiltiness, but few professing Christians can be bothered to actually DO anything about it, or demand justice. 

   The same is true with the sodomite agenda.  Christians remain silent.  PASTORS remain silent on ALL of these things,  as thousands upon thousands of our young people and young CHILDREN are indoctrinated into this death-style.  Parents even march their little kids in the “pride” parades and take them to “Drag Queen Story Time” at their local libraries.   Countless children and young people are lured into the human trafficking market, sold as slaves and prostitutes.  Then we celebrate the death-cult of Islam, welcoming demon worshipers into high places in government, education, media and other areas of great influence.   I could go on:  the plague of Pharmakea; the indoctrination of children in public schools — and the rest of us through constant use of our “screens” — the invasion of our country by hostile foreign enemies.  The list is endless.

   And we do ALL of this with PRIDE.  Yes, we have willingly opened massive portals into the demonic realm, allowing an ever increasing number of demons to have free reign in every area of our lives and our world.  As we invite and welcome and celebrate the arrival of more and more demons, we seal our fate.  Only God’s faithful remnant will find eternal life with Him.  Yet we must press on, we must boldly proclaim TRUTH at every opportunity and seek and demand righteousness and justice!  Most of all, we must remember the words of Moses — and actually DO what we have so woefully failed at.  From Deuteronomy 6:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.  These words I am giving you today are to be in your heart.  REPEAT THEM to your children.  Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  BIND THEM as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead.  Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

   This spiritual battle — this spiritual WARFARE — is REAL and it is intense, and the enemy is seeking to devour us all — especially our precious children.  We need to step up our game.  We need to “amp it up.”  We need to be bold WARRIORS for Christ, seeking to be a restraining influence against the enemy.  But we can NEVER DO THAT if we never speak up, or never leave the four walls of our local Religious Service Providers.  Salt that has lost its savor cannot be made salty again.  It’s too late for them.  But for the faithful, NOW is the time.  TODAY is the day for us to BELIEVE what Jesus said:  we have ALL authority over the enemy; Jesus will be with us, even to the end of the age.  Christ is IN us — and as His disciples we have the very authority of God to cast these demons OUT, and they have no choice but to OBEY… WHEN we understand and BELIEVE that authority, and come out of our hiding places and begin to exercise it.  Just as Jesus commanded.

Battle Scars – Rob Pue

As we endure life in this world, walking by faith and not by sight, walking in the Spirit of God and not in the flesh, seeking to serve the Lord and His Kingdom, doing that which He has commanded us — and entrusted us to do — it can get very lonely sometimes.

   I think of the apostle Paul, whose letters — which he wrote from prison — are filled with sound doctrine and teaching; but also his deepest personal feelings, as he endured great lonliness, being separated from his friends and fellow believers in Christ.

   Look at Second Timothy 1.  He clearly missed his young friend, as he wrote: “I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.   As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.  I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.  For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

   “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, — and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do.

   “But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.  Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.   By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.”

   And then Paul added, “You are aware that all who are in Asia abandoned me.”  Yes, Paul was there, writing to Timothy from prison.  He was jailed for preaching the Gospel of our Savior, and he was alone.  No one stood with him.  All had abandoned him.

   Then in Chapter 4, we have this:  “Do your best to come to me soon.   For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.  Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry…. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.   Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.   Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.   At my first defense, no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them!   But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.”

   In Second Corinthians, Paul describes what Christian ministry is REALLY like.  Starting at verse 24:  “Five times I received, at the hands of the Jews, the forty lashes less one.  Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea;  on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.  And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.”

   There are many today, who will tell you the Christian life is all joy and happiness.  “Just walk the aisle,” they say, “repeat the ‘sinners prayer,’ and MEAN IT,” they’ll tell you…  And “Jesus has a wonderful plan for your life!”  “Just ask Jesus into your heart and you will go from misery to ‘your best life NOW!”  But friends, this isn’t true.  This is a false Gospel…  The fact of the matter is, the Christian life is NOT an easy one.  It’s NOT all happiness and joy.  If you are TRULY living out your faith and serving Christ, you will find yourself in frequent persecution, you’ll be mocked and ridiculed.  You’ll lose your friends.   You may even find yourself being sued in court; you may lose your business, your home, your freedom, and yes, in some cases, even your family.

   Jesus Himself said in Matthew 10, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have NOT come to bring peace, but a sword.   For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.   And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.”

   You absolutely will NOT fit in with the modern culture if you are following Christ today.  It is at that point you have a choice:  keep your mouth shut and practice your “religion” in secret, in which case you will NOT endure any persecution and you can just “get along” with everyone — or you can be a faithful servant, obey the commands of Jesus and season this world with salt — being a beacon of light in a dark and dying culture.  Yes, you HAVE that choice.  So what will you choose?

   Those who choose the latter often find themselves very lonely and very misunderstood.  Because they walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh, the world cannot understand them.    Spiritual things are spiritually discerned; and those without the Holy Spirit CANNOT understand.  It’s not that they don’t want to… they just don’t have the Holy Spirit inside them, and therefore they CAN’T understand you.

   “Religious” people will not understand you either.  Many times you’ll even be viewed as a “troublemaker” or a “crazy zealot” by those in your own church, if you dare step outside the box and actually DO the work Christ called you to.  You WILL endure hardship and you WILL experience persecution if you’re openly and faithfully and unashamedly living the Christian life.  Those who preach “health, wealth, prosperity, happiness, roses and rainbows” are lying to you.  You should ask yourself what their motivation is… and oftentimes, you’ll find it’s very simple: it’s so that THEY can be well liked and popular among the people… and well PAID.

   How lonely it must have been for Jesus Himself — MANY times — as even His own disciples had a hard time understanding some of His teachings.  Yet He patiently taught them and explained to them the parables the world could not understand.  And though they walked closely with Him for 3 1/2 years during His earthly ministry, on the night of His arrest, they all abandoned Him, when He needed His friends the most.

   Look at Luke 22.  Here, Jesus was on the Mount of Olives, following the Last Supper.  He went there to pray with His disciples.  But His disciples couldn’t stay awake and watch with Him even one hour.  How lonely our Savior must have been as He prayed, “‘Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.’  An angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.  And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.”

   Not exactly “health, wealth, prosperity, happiness, roses and rainbows”… is it?  That was NEVER Jesus’ message.  That’s a false Gospel, that creates false converts, who quickly fall away.  As it has been said, “everyone wants to follow Jesus — until they find out where He is going.”  Now, I am NOT saying that the Christian life is miserable.  As a matter of fact, I don’t know how ANYONE can make it through this life without Christ.  There IS a peace.  Though the world around you continues to spin out of control into chaos and evil, as a true believer in Jesus, you DO have peace in your heart.

   As Paul wrote to the Philippians, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  Friends, we would NOT NEED “peace that passes all understanding” if the Christian life were EASY.  But BECAUSE we know Christ as our Savior, BECAUSE we have His Holy Spirit within us, we can have a peace of mind and heart that the world just cannot ever comprehend.  But it’s still, often, very lonely.

   In the ministry work I do,  I get a great many phone calls, emails and letters from those who are seeking answers, and often seeking my counsel.  Some have grown children who have become wayward and left their faith behind.  Some have unbelieving spouses who are carnal and worldly, rather than spiritual.  Some deal with ridicule from co-workers.  Most all of them have very shallow “friendships,” with only a few at the churches they attend.  They often have NO ONE they can fellowship with, or commune with or talk to about the deep and rich things of God.  They feel so ALONE.

   All of us, who carry the name of Christ and live out our faith — FOR REAL — have endured great emotional and physical hardships.  It often seems we’ve been in one battle after another, and we have the battle scars to prove it.  And it is when we are alone in the battle that things are most difficult and heart-wrenching;  when all have abandoned us, when even those we thought were our friends turn away.  This is also the time when the enemy likes to come and attack; and unless we remain in prayer and communion with GOD, we can easily become discouraged and depressed.

   This is why we are exhorted — in the book of Hebrews — “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.   And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” 

   How sweet it is to have REAL, GOOD fellowship with like-minded believers.  Not shallow small talk, fake smiles and handshakes during “greet your neighbor time” at your Sunday service… but deep, meaningful fellowship and friendships with the saints of God.  How wonderful to have a support system like that.  It is so refreshing to our souls when we have friends we can be open, honest and transparent with as we share our Christian walk together.  We can “compare notes,” and we can relate to one another as we let our “Battle Scars” show. 

   When I quoted from Hebrews about not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, I’m not just talking about GOING to church.  I’m talking about BEING the church — all in one accord — with fellow saints you KNOW are true believers and true friends that stick closer than a brother. 

   Some of the greatest times in my own spiritual walk have been with friends like this.  Recently, one evening, following a busy day at a Christian conference, I sat with a friend, one on one, and we just talked together.  We shared with one another our experiences in ministry, as well as the heavy burdens we both carry.  Though our ministries — and our battles — are different, and though some of our battle scars run deeper than others, they are all part of the same spiritual warfare we’re both involved in.

   And then, after we talked a long time, we PRAYED a long time, with each other and FOR each other.  I’ve never felt such peace in my heart as I do at times like this.  As disciples of Jesus living in the times we are living in, I UNDERSTAND what the writer of Hebrews meant when he said, — “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” —  how it is even MORE important as we see the Day of the Lord approaching. 

   The spiritual warfare continues to wage all around us.  Those of us who are engaged in this warfare NEED one another.  We need real, deep, intimate friendships; fellow believers we know we can TRUST in any and every circumstance.  We need to KNOW they “have our backs” in our times of need.  We need such friends we can talk to and pray with on a deep, intimate level — and not have to worry about gossip being spread.  We need MORE than shallow, vain, repetitious corporate prayer time.  We need more than “small talk” — we need REAL brothers and sisters in Christ.

   It’s like a little glimpse of heaven during these intimate times with our fellow believers.  As Jesus said in Matthew 18, “For where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I among them.”  If you don’t have this in your life, I encourage you to seek it out.  Pray that the Lord open those doors for you and then, even though you may have deep wounds and battle scars, let yourself be vulnerable enough to let them show, and let others know your needs.  Fellowship together, PRAY together…  build an intimate, close bond of friendship.  Because it’s HARD living a faithful and obedient Christian life.  And it’s even harder doing it all alone, with none who understand.  So stand firm to the end, fellow believers… and if you need or want to talk with ME, I’d be honored to be your friend.  God bless you.
