    7 Guidelines for Financial Survival.

    Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others—never finish paying that! Romans 13:8 Living Bible



    Few of us lay awake nights worrying about a major world economic collapse any more than we lay awake worrying about our planet’s getting wiped out by an asteroid from outer space.

    But thinking about our own families and what may happen if dad doesn’t get a good -paying job is quite another matter. Now, when your family is smothered with bills you can’t pay, the entire issue of debt and financial survival becomes intensely personal. Who cares about the conditions of world banking if your local bank stamps your checks “I.F.”: insufficient funds?

    Now, bringing this whole issue into focus, is there anything you can do personally to make your financial position stronger in the future? There is.

    So, Guideline #1: Find out how much you owe and what you are paying in interest on your outstanding obligations. Don’t be like the friend who didn’t even bother to open his bills when they came. Unopened he would toss them into the trash. “Why bother to open them,” he sighed. “I don’t have any money to pay them, and they just make me feel bad.”

    Guideline #2: Get help now. For years I have encouraged churches to set up a stewardship department who can give of their time in helping young families especially young couples to get a handle on their finances. To me this is the application of faith with works, as James described it. If we who are of the household of faith cannot apply biblical principles to our financial needs today, who will?

    Guideline #3: Budget your income. Have a budget and refuse to spend what you don’t have. Don’t be like the fellow who said, “I’ve got a budget and I’m going to live within that budget even if I have to borrow money to do so!”

    Guideline #4: Get out of debt. In simple terms, debt is your inability to pay what you owe when it is due. The primary exception to this is your home, which in all probability will increase in value over an extended period of time. Easy credit has been the nemesis of our day: buy now, pay later. But if you think about the cost involved in paying later, even the purchase of a home may put you in the debtors column. So, before you buy anything better find out what the conditions are. Remember, “the large print gives and the fine print takes away.” Read that document carefully before you purchase, and if you don’t understand what you are signing, better find someone who can explain it to you, someone you trust.

    Guideline #5: Start paying cash for what you buy. Larry Burkett offers a recipe for getting out of credit card debt. He said, “preheat your oven to 425 degrees, grease a cookie pan, toss your credit cards on it, and bake ten minutes, or until done.” Another friend suggests that if you must use credit cards, freeze them in blocks of ice, and when you want to use them, think about the purchase while the ice is melting.

    Guideline #6: Work together as a couple and family. When you married, you made a commitment to each other, and money is part of that commitment. Almost always when a marriage is in trouble, money has been a weapon used to hurt the other person.

    Guideline #7: Finally, acknowledge that what you have belongs to the Lord. Include God in your budget and giving. Failure here probably began your downhill slide to trouble. Go deeper into investigating what God says and get out of debt once and for all.

  • STORACALS OF PROPHECY # 19
    Hello friends, family, and my brothers, and sisters in Christ.

    This is Brother Johnny Gass.

    Welcome to Bible study.

    Study to show thyself to approved unto God, a Workman unashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

    Please share these lessons with everyone you know for the expansion of the kingdom of God.

    The Daughter's Dance

    King Herod's wife, Herodias, hated John the Baptist. The desert-dwelling prophet had dared to call her an adulteress for leaving her husband Philip to marry his evil but wealthier brother. Now the wicked queen determined to use her influence over Herod to get even with John. First, she persuaded him to have John imprisoned. Then she asked to have John executed, but Herod refused. He knew that John was a true prophet and feared political backlash from the people. Finally, Herodias developed a fool-proof scheme. She threw a party for Herod's birthday and invited all his friends and the nobles from his realm, then she arranged for her beautiful daughter Salome to dance in a seductive, captivating style. Herodias hoped that after Herod had a few glasses of wine, he would ask Salome what reward she wanted for her enchanting dance. Her sinister plan worked. After Salome's dance, Herod made a pompous oath: "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom." Mark 6:23. As the inebriated guests were applauding the king's generosity, the girl stood ready with her reply. Then she shocked everyone by asking for the head of John the Baptist on a platter! Herod was stunned by the gruesome request, but all of his shocked friends were watching for his response. Afraid that he would appear weak if he refused, the proud king reluctantly gave the order. That very day the mighty prophet John was beheaded alone in prison. This was not the first time that a mother and daughter team used the government to persecute God's people.

    1. What other mother and daughter team persecuted God's people in the Old Testament?

    1 Kings 18:13. ________ slew the prophets of the Lord.

    2 Kings 11:1 And when Athaliah ... saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: In the Old Testament, Jezebel and her daughter Athaliah were known for violently controlling the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and for forcing pagan worship on God's people.

    2. What is the second angel's message in Revelation 14?

    Revelation 14:8. And there followed another angel, saying, _________ is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Revelation 14 contains an urgent three-point message that must reach the entire world before Jesus' second coming. In this lesson we will look at the second point of that message. God's indictment of Babylon is given because she has made all nations drunk with her intoxicating wine. This lesson will address some very straight, and perhaps disturbing, messages to both Catholic and Protestant believers. Remember that the second angel's message is from Jesus, the One we all love. Open your heart to His truth, for His only aim is to save and to bless you.

    3. How does God symbolize Babylon in Revelation 17?

    Revelation 17:18. And the _______ which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: In Bible prophecy, a woman symbolizes a church. A pure woman represents God's true church as described in Revelation 12. An unfaithful woman represents a church that has departed from the Scriptures. We can be certain who this fallen woman is, because Revelation 17:18 says she was ruling when Revelation was written. History tells us it was pagan Rome (Luke 2:1) that eventually turned over its authority, capital city, and power to papal Rome.

    4. What other evidence from Revelation 17 proves that Babylon refers to papal Rome?

    Revelation 17:3. ... I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of _________,

    A. She is guilty of __________ (verse 3).
    B. She is dressed in purple and scarlet (verse 4).
    C. She is called the Mother (verse 5).
    D. She has harlot daughters who also are fallen (verse 5).
    E. She persecuted and martyred the saints (verse 6).
    F. She sits upon "seven mountains" (verse 9).
    G. She ruled over the "kings of the earth" (verse 18).

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Papal Rome fits every description. Its headquarters is in Rome--"the city of seven hills." Scarlet is the color of cardinals' robes, and the pope often wears the royal color of purple at important functions. The Roman Catholic church freely admits that during the Middle Ages, she persecuted the saints and ruled over the kings of the earth. (For evidence that the papacy is guilty of blasphemy, review Lesson 13.) God's symbolism fits perfectly--a fallen mother church whose fallen daughters protested and thus began to be called Protestants. Notice this quote from Father James A. O'Brien: "That observance [of Sunday instead of Saturday] remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away."1

    1The Faith of Millions (Huntington, IN: Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., 1974), p. 401.

    5. How do the beasts of Revelation 13 and 17 compare?

    Revelation 13:1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten __________, ... and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

    Revelation 17:3 I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten __________.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 and the beast of Revelation 17 are obviously the same. Both symbolize this Roman power. Revelation 17 points out the church-state coalition, with the church (the fallen woman) riding and controlling the state (the beast). Revelation 13 also portrays two beasts involved in forcing others to worship. The first beast is the same power as the "mother of harlots" described in Revelation 17. This lesson will soon reveal the identity of the second beast.

    6. What is the meaning and origin of the word "Babylon"?

    Genesis 11:4, 6, 7, 9. Let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven. ... And the Lord said, ... let us go down, and there _________ [confuse] their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. ... Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there __________ the language of all the earth.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: The terms "Babel" and "Babylon" both mean confusion. The name originated at the Tower of Babel, built by defiant pagans after the Flood. They hoped to build it so high that no future floodwaters could cover it. But the Lord confused their languages, which created such chaos that the project was abandoned. Babylon later arose to be an idolatrous world kingdom that persecuted God's people. In the book of Revelation, the term "Babylon" signifies a counterfeit religious kingdom that is an enemy of God's spiritual Israel.

    7. How does God describe Babylon in urging His people to leave?

    Revelation 18:2-4. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is ________, is __________, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit. ... Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: God says that Babylon has fallen and has become the home of devils and evil spirits. He warns that her sins are so offensive that Babylon must be destroyed. God's people must come out quickly, or else be destroyed with Babylon's plagues.

    8. Jesus repeatedly indicts Babylon for making the world drunk with her wine. What is this wine?

    Revelation 17:4. Having a golden cup in her hand full of ___________.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Her wine cup is full of intoxicating lies (Proverbs 12:22), or false teachings that make people spiritually drunk. Here is a partial list of her beguiling lies:

    A. The Ten Commandments are not binding (see Lesson 6).

    B. Sunday sacredness (see Lesson 14).

    C. Secret rapture (see Lesson 3).

    D. Immortality of the soul (see Lesson 9).

    E. An eternal torment in hell (see Lesson 10).

    F. Confessing your sins to a priest (see Lesson 13).

    G. Counterfeit baptisms (see Lesson 11).

    H. A confusion of tongues (see Lesson 23).

    The sad truth is that once Babylon's messages are accepted, a person becomes spiritually drunk and virtually unable to understand what the Bible really says, because these false doctrines dull a person's ability to comprehend the truth.

    9. What power will support the beast in the end time?

    Revelation 13:11, 12. I beheld ________ beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Brace yourself! This second beast of Revelation 13 symbolizes the United States of America. Consider the evidence:

    A. The time it arose.
    God described this power as rising up about the same time the first beast goes into captivity and receives its deadly wound (Revelation 13:10, 11). The United States of America arose about the time the papacy's power was broken at the end of the 1,260 years, which was in 1798. America declared its independence in 1776, voted the Constitution in 1787, adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791, and was clearly recognized as a world power in 1798.

    B. It arose from the earth.
    As we've studied before, the waters from which most kingdoms (beasts) arose represent a densely populated area (Revelation 17:15). The earth represents the opposite. The United States fits this point perfectly because it was established on a sparsely populated continent.

    C. It had two horns like a lamb.
    In prophecy, a lamb represents Jesus and a horn represents power. The two great horns represent Protestant principles upon which America was founded civil and religious liberty. The founding fathers fled from Europe to escape religious and political persecution. They established a society based on the principles of civil and religious freedom-"government without a king and religion without a Pope."

    10. According to the prophecy, what drastic change will take place in America?

    Revelation 13:11. And he ______ as a dragon.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Speaking as a dragon means that the United States, under the influence of Satan, will reverse its original Protestant principles of the separation of church and state. It will pass religious laws forcing people to worship contrary to conscience or else be punished with economic sanctions (verses 16, 17) and finally death (verse 15).

    11. What three powers will unite against God's people in the end time?

    Revelation 16:13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false ________.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: The dragon is Satan (Revelation 12:9), working through pagan religions. The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is the papacy. The false prophet in Revelation 16 is apostate Protestantism in America, which is the same power as the beast of Revelation 13:11-17 that has two horns like a lamb but will later speak as a dragon. This is the power that does "great wonders" and "deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast." Revelation 13:13, 14. (Compare with the description of the false prophet given in Revelation 19:20.)

    12. Will these diverse organizations ever effectively unite?

    Revelation 16:14. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the _______ of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: Yes, God says they will unite. Notice that they are united in their work of spreading deception and building a confederacy against God's people. The "battle of that great day of God Almighty" is the same event as the dragon making war with the woman's offspring (Revelation 12:17).

    13. What effective methods will this end-time coalition utilize?

    Revelation 16:14. For they are the spirits of devils, working _________.

    Revelation 13:13, 14 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those __________ which he had power to do.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: This end-time coalition will work mighty miracles by the spirits of devils, and almost the entire world will be convinced (Revelation 13:3) and deceived. Revelation 18:23 says, "By thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

    14. What will prevent God's end-time people from being deceived?

    Isaiah 8:20. To the _____ and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

    Answer : ____________________

    NOTE: God's people will need to test everything by the Bible. They will not be deceived, because they will test the miracles and teachings to determine whether they come from spirits of devils or from the Lord.

    15. Today God is calling His people out of Babylon into the safety of His remnant church. He says that those who remain in Babylon will partake of her sins and receive her plagues. In Noah's day, only eight people entered the ark God had provided for their salvation. All others perished. Today He provides His remnant church as an ark of safety, and millions are entering. Jesus is inviting you to "Come thou and all thy house into the ark." Genesis 7:1. Will you say "Yes" to His invitation today?

    Answer : ____________________

    Supplemental Study

    How Powerful Are the USA and Rome?
    Revelation chapter 13 points out that in the end-time, the papacy and the United States will team up to influence the entire world to worship the beast. Are these entities powerful enough to accomplish this?

    The papacy is by far the strongest religio-political power in the world. Nearly every leading country has an official ambassador or state representative at the Vatican. The pope is revered and welcomed by virtually all countries. Former U.S.S.R. leader Mikhail Gorbachev said, "Everything which took place in Eastern Europe in recent years would have been impossible without the Pope's efforts and the enormous role, including the political role, which he played in the world arena."1 The pope has made more than 50 world trips to achieve his goal of unifying the religious world under the papacy's leadership.

    America is now looked upon as the number one military power and center of influence. "[America is] the planet's sole remaining superpower."2

    "America's power will now determine all major global events."3 Bible prophecy predicts with clarity that the United States of America and the papacy will join hands, and world events clearly show that the coalition is being formed.

That very day the mighty prophet John was beheaded alone in prison. This was not the first time that a mother and daughter team used the government to persecute God's people. 1. What other mother and daughter team persecuted God's people in the Old Testament? 1 Kings 18:13. ________ slew the prophets of the Lord. 2 Kings 11:1 And when Athaliah ... saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: In the Old Testament, Jezebel and her daughter Athaliah were known for violently controlling the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and for forcing pagan worship on God's people. 2. What is the second angel's message in Revelation 14? Revelation 14:8. And there followed another angel, saying, _________ is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Revelation 14 contains an urgent three-point message that must reach the entire world before Jesus' second coming. In this lesson we will look at the second point of that message. God's indictment of Babylon is given because she has made all nations drunk with her intoxicating wine. This lesson will address some very straight, and perhaps disturbing, messages to both Catholic and Protestant believers. Remember that the second angel's message is from Jesus, the One we all love. Open your heart to His truth, for His only aim is to save and to bless you. 3. How does God symbolize Babylon in Revelation 17? Revelation 17:18. And the _______ which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: In Bible prophecy, a woman symbolizes a church. A pure woman represents God's true church as described in Revelation 12. An unfaithful woman represents a church that has departed from the Scriptures. We can be certain who this fallen woman is, because Revelation 17:18 says she was ruling when Revelation was written. History tells us it was pagan Rome (Luke 2:1) that eventually turned over its authority, capital city, and power to papal Rome. 4. What other evidence from Revelation 17 proves that Babylon refers to papal Rome? Revelation 17:3. ... I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of _________, A. She is guilty of __________ (verse 3). B. She is dressed in purple and scarlet (verse 4). C. She is called the Mother (verse 5). D. She has harlot daughters who also are fallen (verse 5). E. She persecuted and martyred the saints (verse 6). F. She sits upon "seven mountains" (verse 9). G. She ruled over the "kings of the earth" (verse 18). Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Papal Rome fits every description. Its headquarters is in Rome--"the city of seven hills." Scarlet is the color of cardinals' robes, and the pope often wears the royal color of purple at important functions. The Roman Catholic church freely admits that during the Middle Ages, she persecuted the saints and ruled over the kings of the earth. (For evidence that the papacy is guilty of blasphemy, review Lesson 13.) God's symbolism fits perfectly--a fallen mother church whose fallen daughters protested and thus began to be called Protestants. Notice this quote from Father James A. O'Brien: "That observance [of Sunday instead of Saturday] remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away."1 1The Faith of Millions (Huntington, IN: Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., 1974), p. 401. 5. How do the beasts of Revelation 13 and 17 compare? Revelation 13:1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten __________, ... and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Revelation 17:3 I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten __________. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 and the beast of Revelation 17 are obviously the same. Both symbolize this Roman power. Revelation 17 points out the church-state coalition, with the church (the fallen woman) riding and controlling the state (the beast). Revelation 13 also portrays two beasts involved in forcing others to worship. The first beast is the same power as the "mother of harlots" described in Revelation 17. This lesson will soon reveal the identity of the second beast. 6. What is the meaning and origin of the word "Babylon"? Genesis 11:4, 6, 7, 9. Let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven. ... And the Lord said, ... let us go down, and there _________ [confuse] their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. ... Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there __________ the language of all the earth. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: The terms "Babel" and "Babylon" both mean confusion. The name originated at the Tower of Babel, built by defiant pagans after the Flood. They hoped to build it so high that no future floodwaters could cover it. But the Lord confused their languages, which created such chaos that the project was abandoned. Babylon later arose to be an idolatrous world kingdom that persecuted God's people. In the book of Revelation, the term "Babylon" signifies a counterfeit religious kingdom that is an enemy of God's spiritual Israel. 7. How does God describe Babylon in urging His people to leave? Revelation 18:2-4. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is ________, is __________, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit. ... Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: God says that Babylon has fallen and has become the home of devils and evil spirits. He warns that her sins are so offensive that Babylon must be destroyed. God's people must come out quickly, or else be destroyed with Babylon's plagues. 8. Jesus repeatedly indicts Babylon for making the world drunk with her wine. What is this wine? Revelation 17:4. Having a golden cup in her hand full of ___________. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Her wine cup is full of intoxicating lies (Proverbs 12:22), or false teachings that make people spiritually drunk. Here is a partial list of her beguiling lies: A. The Ten Commandments are not binding (see Lesson 6). B. Sunday sacredness (see Lesson 14). C. Secret rapture (see Lesson 3). D. Immortality of the soul (see Lesson 9). E. An eternal torment in hell (see Lesson 10). F. Confessing your sins to a priest (see Lesson 13). G. Counterfeit baptisms (see Lesson 11). H. A confusion of tongues (see Lesson 23). The sad truth is that once Babylon's messages are accepted, a person becomes spiritually drunk and virtually unable to understand what the Bible really says, because these false doctrines dull a person's ability to comprehend the truth. 9. What power will support the beast in the end time? Revelation 13:11, 12. I beheld ________ beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Brace yourself! This second beast of Revelation 13 symbolizes the United States of America. Consider the evidence: A. The time it arose. God described this power as rising up about the same time the first beast goes into captivity and receives its deadly wound (Revelation 13:10, 11). The United States of America arose about the time the papacy's power was broken at the end of the 1,260 years, which was in 1798. America declared its independence in 1776, voted the Constitution in 1787, adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791, and was clearly recognized as a world power in 1798. B. It arose from the earth. As we've studied before, the waters from which most kingdoms (beasts) arose represent a densely populated area (Revelation 17:15). The earth represents the opposite. The United States fits this point perfectly because it was established on a sparsely populated continent. C. It had two horns like a lamb. In prophecy, a lamb represents Jesus and a horn represents power. The two great horns represent Protestant principles upon which America was founded civil and religious liberty. The founding fathers fled from Europe to escape religious and political persecution. They established a society based on the principles of civil and religious freedom-"government without a king and religion without a Pope." 10. According to the prophecy, what drastic change will take place in America? Revelation 13:11. And he ______ as a dragon. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Speaking as a dragon means that the United States, under the influence of Satan, will reverse its original Protestant principles of the separation of church and state. It will pass religious laws forcing people to worship contrary to conscience or else be punished with economic sanctions (verses 16, 17) and finally death (verse 15). 11. What three powers will unite against God's people in the end time? Revelation 16:13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false ________. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: The dragon is Satan (Revelation 12:9), working through pagan religions. The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is the papacy. The false prophet in Revelation 16 is apostate Protestantism in America, which is the same power as the beast of Revelation 13:11-17 that has two horns like a lamb but will later speak as a dragon. This is the power that does "great wonders" and "deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast." Revelation 13:13, 14. (Compare with the description of the false prophet given in Revelation 19:20.) 12. Will these diverse organizations ever effectively unite? Revelation 16:14. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the _______ of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: Yes, God says they will unite. Notice that they are united in their work of spreading deception and building a confederacy against God's people. The "battle of that great day of God Almighty" is the same event as the dragon making war with the woman's offspring (Revelation 12:17). 13. What effective methods will this end-time coalition utilize? Revelation 16:14. For they are the spirits of devils, working _________. Revelation 13:13, 14 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those __________ which he had power to do. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: This end-time coalition will work mighty miracles by the spirits of devils, and almost the entire world will be convinced (Revelation 13:3) and deceived. Revelation 18:23 says, "By thy sorceries were all nations deceived." 14. What will prevent God's end-time people from being deceived? Isaiah 8:20. To the _____ and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Answer : ____________________ NOTE: God's people will need to test everything by the Bible. They will not be deceived, because they will test the miracles and teachings to determine whether they come from spirits of devils or from the Lord. 15. Today God is calling His people out of Babylon into the safety of His remnant church. He says that those who remain in Babylon will partake of her sins and receive her plagues. In Noah's day, only eight people entered the ark God had provided for their salvation. All others perished. Today He provides His remnant church as an ark of safety, and millions are entering. Jesus is inviting you to "Come thou and all thy house into the ark." Genesis 7:1. Will you say "Yes" to His invitation today? Answer : ____________________ Supplemental Study How Powerful Are the USA and Rome? Revelation chapter 13 points out that in the end-time, the papacy and the United States will team up to influence the entire world to worship the beast. Are these entities powerful enough to accomplish this? The papacy is by far the strongest religio-political power in the world. Nearly every leading country has an official ambassador or state representative at the Vatican. The pope is revered and welcomed by virtually all countries. Former U.S.S.R. leader Mikhail Gorbachev said, "Everything which took place in Eastern Europe in recent years would have been impossible without the Pope's efforts and the enormous role, including the political role, which he played in the world arena."1 The pope has made more than 50 world trips to achieve his goal of unifying the religious world under the papacy's leadership. America is now looked upon as the number one military power and center of influence. "[America is] the planet's sole remaining superpower."2 "America's power will now determine all major global events."3 Bible prophecy predicts with clarity that the United States of America and the papacy will join hands, and world events clearly show that the coalition is being formed. 1Toronto Star, March 9, 1992, p. A-1. 2"The UN Obsession," Time, May 9, 1994, p. 86. 3Jim Hoaglad, "Of Heroes ...," The Washington Post, August 21, 1991, p. A-23.

  • THE TALENT OF SPEECH.
    Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:6

    The voice is an entrusted talent, and it should be used to help and encourage and strengthen our fellowmen. If parents will love God and keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment, their language ... will be of a sound, pure, edifying character. Whether they are at home or abroad, their words will be well chosen.

    The very best school for voice culture is in the home life. Study in every way, not to annoy, but to cultivate a soft voice, distinct and plain.... Mothers should themselves act like Christ, speaking tender, loving words in the home.

    The right culture and use of the power of speech has to do with every line of Christian work; it enters into the home life and into all our intercourse with one another. We should accustom ourselves to speak in pleasant tones, to use pure and correct language, and words that are kind and courteous. Sweet, kind words are as dew and gentle showers to the soul. The Scripture says of Christ that grace was poured into His lips, that He might “know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary.” And the Lord bids us, “Let your speech be alway with grace,” “that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” ... If we follow Christ’s example in doing good, hearts will open to us as they did to Him.

    Not abruptly, but with tact born of divine love, we can tell them of Him who is the “Chiefest among ten thousand,” and the One “altogether lovely.” This is the very highest work in which we can employ the talent of speech.

    Righteous words and deeds have a more powerful influence for good than all the sermons that can be preached. [115]

  • The Cost of Our Faith
    My name is Umair, and along with my wife Neha, we are ex-Muslims from Pakistan. Seven years ago, we were born again in Christ. We knew that leaving Islam in Pakistan meant a life of peril, but we chose the cross over the world. Because of our conversion, a religious edict (Fatwa) was issued against us. We were hunted, forced into hiding, and I was brutally attacked—leaving me with a permanent spinal injury that affects my mobility to this day.

    Our Current Crisis in Malaysia
    We fled to Malaysia seeking safety, but we are now trapped in a desperate "limbo."

    The UNHCR Silence: It has been over a year since we applied for refugee status. Despite our documentation proving religious persecution, we have received no calls, no SMS, and no appointments. Without UNHCR recognition, we are living here without legal documentation.

    Health Emergencies: This is our most urgent plea. Both Neha and I are suffering from Diabetes. Furthermore, Neha is currently pregnant. Because we are undocumented, we are terrified and unable to visit hospitals. We cannot afford the medication or the prenatal care she desperately needs for a safe delivery.

    The Weight of Responsibility: I have three beautiful daughters—Urwa (9), Hurain (5), and Mirha (1.4). With my spinal injury and our lack of legal status, it is becoming nearly impossible to provide even the most basic food and shelter for them.

    Our Humble Request
    We are not asking for luxuries; we are asking for life. We are seeking:

    Medical & Financial Support: To manage our diabetes and ensure my pregnant wife receives care.

    Private Sponsorship: We need a path to a third country where we can practice our faith openly, work with dignity, and raise our children in peace.

    How You Can Help
    If the Holy Spirit moves you to assist a brother and sister in Christ who are at their breaking point, please reach out to us. We have all the documents to prove our story and our persecution.

    “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” — Hebrews 13:3

  • Daily Bread Fellowship — Monday Encouragement
    Scripture
    “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!” — Psalm 33:12
    Encouragement
    This week we have seen something significant — the reading of God’s Word within the government of the United States. This is a reminder that the Word of God still carries authority, truth, and power in every place, from the quiet home to the highest offices of leadership.
    While this is encouraging, it also calls us to something deeper. The power of Scripture is not found merely in it being read publicly, but in it being received, believed, and lived out in the hearts of people. True transformation does not begin in institutions—it begins in individuals whose lives are surrendered to God.
    Let this moment stir our hearts to pray. Pray that God’s Word would not return void, but would convict, guide, and transform those who hear it. Pray for leaders to walk in wisdom, humility, and righteousness. And most importantly, let it remind us to remain faithful in our own lives, holding firmly to the truth of Scripture.
    God’s Word is living and active. Wherever it is read, it has the power to change lives.
    Prayer
    Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your Word is being read and heard in places of leadership. We pray that it would take root in hearts and bring wisdom, conviction, and righteousness. Guide those in authority to lead with truth and integrity. And help us, Lord, to live according to Your Word each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  • G’day
    DAY 1 – THE EXALTED KING
    Who is the One who wears the many crowns of your heart today?
    #WorshipAndTheWord – The Sovereign Majesty of Jesus
    #CrownHimWithManyCrowns #AllHailThePowerOfJesusName #TraditionalHymn
    The King of Glory has stepped out of the grave to take His seat upon the highest throne!
    At the cross, Jesus didn't just pay a debt; He disarmed every principality and power, making a public spectacle of them. Because of His finished work, He is now the exalted Lamb, the reigning Lord who holds the keys of death and Hades, standing victorious over every circumstance you face.
    When we crown Him "Lord of All," we are aligning our reality with the truth of heaven. This changes how we live: we no longer bow to fear, sickness, or lack, because our King has already triumphed. Today, we don’t fight for victory; we live from the victory already won by our Sovereign King.
    The Name Above All Names
    This scripture reveals the ultimate authority bestowed upon Jesus because of His obedience.
    Philippians 2:9–11 (BSB)
    “Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
    Every problem you face has a name, but the name of Jesus is higher; command your situation to bow to the King.
    The Supremacy of Christ
    See the position Jesus holds over all of creation and the Church.
    Colossians 1:18
    “And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy.”
    If He is first over the grave, He is first over your future; trust His leading today.
    Beloved:
    Lift your head and behold your King! You were never meant to carry the weight of the world when He already carries the scepter of the universe. I call you to step out of the shadows of "barely getting by" and into the light of His royal inheritance.
    Reject the lie that you are defeated or alone. You serve the Lord of Peace and the Lord of Heaven. Walk into your workplace, your home, and your community today with the quiet confidence of one who knows the King personally.
    Prayer:
    Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You that You have highly exalted my Saviour and given Him the name above every name.
    I reject the spirit of heaviness and the lies of the enemy that say I am defeated. I receive Your peace and Your royal authority over my life today.
    Holy Spirit, empower me to represent the Kingdom of God with boldness and love. Transform my thinking so I can see my challenges through the lens of Christ’s absolute victory.
    I declare that Jesus is Lord over my family, my health, and my purpose.
    In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Because of His finished work, He is now the exalted Lamb, the reigning Lord who holds the keys of death and Hades, standing victorious over every circumstance you face. ✝️ When we crown Him "Lord of All," we are aligning our reality with the truth of heaven. This changes how we live: we no longer bow to fear, sickness, or lack, because our King has already triumphed. Today, we don’t fight for victory; we live from the victory already won by our Sovereign King. 📝 The Name Above All Names ✏️ This scripture reveals the ultimate authority bestowed upon Jesus because of His obedience. 📖 Philippians 2:9–11 (BSB) “Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” ➡️ Every problem you face has a name, but the name of Jesus is higher; command your situation to bow to the King. 📝 The Supremacy of Christ ✏️ See the position Jesus holds over all of creation and the Church. 📖 Colossians 1:18 “And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy.” ➡️ If He is first over the grave, He is first over your future; trust His leading today. 🎺 Beloved: Lift your head and behold your King! You were never meant to carry the weight of the world when He already carries the scepter of the universe. I call you to step out of the shadows of "barely getting by" and into the light of His royal inheritance. Reject the lie that you are defeated or alone. You serve the Lord of Peace and the Lord of Heaven. Walk into your workplace, your home, and your community today with the quiet confidence of one who knows the King personally. 🙏 Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You that You have highly exalted my Saviour and given Him the name above every name. I reject the spirit of heaviness and the lies of the enemy that say I am defeated. I receive Your peace and Your royal authority over my life today. Holy Spirit, empower me to represent the Kingdom of God with boldness and love. Transform my thinking so I can see my challenges through the lens of Christ’s absolute victory. I declare that Jesus is Lord over my family, my health, and my purpose. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. 🎶📖🔥🙏 🎹 #AltarFrontWorship 🙌🏾 with #PsChrisB-200426🎶 © “Crown Him with Many Crowns” – Matthew Bridges / George J.
