I found a church to visit!
I am so excited! If you look up Gerald Smith ministries on Facebook, you'll see the minister and how he leads a service and local outreach and evangelism.
A few keys that I was looking for was a ministry led by the Holy Spirit and not a doctrine or denomination, and a church seeking to truly reach the lost and seek revival. First and foremost I wanted a church that preached the truth even if it was unpopular.
The minister was preaching entire sanctification and Holiness as a pillar for revival. That's what makes me want to visit!

Fasting has begun to bear some serious fruit.
God is renewing me with His Spirit. He is teaching me that the love I seek from others and am subsequently disappointed by, I can only get from Him.
He freely gives this love in His Holy presence. Now I can see that when God fills me with His presence, I can become a vessel of honor to truly love others, instead of seeking love from the world that is ruled by Satan.

I am seeing a massive campaign to get everyone to line up for the corona virus vaccines. I do not plan to get it. There are too many questions about safety and effectiveness, and there have been many that died after taking them. There are also new strains of the virus that the vaccines will not protect against. They alter a person's DNA, which is scary in itself, and even if you survive the vaccine initially, nobody knows the long term effects. I am not willing to call this the mark of the beast or tie it to the MOTB, but I do not trust it.

Yep, that's right John. Do not touch that shot. No long term studies have been done on it and people are dying from it and getting very sick. We do not know what the long term effects will be from that thing. We only need to put our hope and trust in the biblical Lord Jesus. All we need is Him. Our Lord and Saviour. We will keep on the straight and Narrow way to the Lord, by feasting on those scriptures. The King James Version Bible. Oh let the glorious Lord be praised.

It is hard to believe that Narrow Way Forums has been around for more than 3 years, and the original members are all still active. That is a real blessing. The Lord knew what was getting ready to happen and prepared for us a place to fellowship in spite of persecutions at another message board. Hopefully, the Lord will continue to bless this ministry in the months and years going forward.

Welcome back, John.
The church service I went to was amazing. I knew that we were going to be about six minutes late. The minister felt led to wait for us!
There were three other souls there besides the minister so me and my husband's presence was definitely felt in the small church house.
The minister focused on worship today and you could feel the presence of God as he operated in the gifts of tongues and prophecy.
Afterward, he came down and got to know us--- especially my husband. I felt that he was a genuinely laid back guy. He prayed for all of us individually.
And for once, I don't have misgivings about going back. I want to find a way to help out. The service is every Sunday at 3pm.
No one wore a mask and it just felt so natural. I was talking with the Lady beside me and got to know her a bit. She was so amazing and full of faith. We talked about how we wouldn't get the vaccine.
I could keep going on about the wonderful feeling I got about our small gathering. The fact that there was no fear of Covid, the fact that we got to just act normally, the active presence of God in the service as the minister worshipped, the fact that the minister was personable as well as anointed... it was just so exciting!
It's well worth a 36 minute drive to Lexington for that.
The church is called Fire of God and its mission is to cause a local revival through prayer and seeking God.

Today I just wanted to give God all the glory for giving me victory in the area of health and fitness.
These things can become idols that enslave and I know that the enemy was trying to keep me enslaved to having a certain appearance.
However, my husband prayed for me about this and ever since then Ive felt a freedom on these issues that Ive haven't had in a while.
I still try to eat healthy and I take advantage of the gym at our apartment complex consistently but with a sense of joy, not trying to make myself fit a certain mold.
I was tempted to go on some crazy diets but instead I opt for an attitude of "listen to your body" and eat what makes me feel nourished. When Im hungry, I eat. When Im full, I stop.
But the difference is now, if I eat something unhealthy, I don't feel like a bad person. And I know I look just fine.
God gave us wonderful bodies and we are fearfully and wonderfully made and life is so much more than what we eat.
I thank Him for giving me an abundant life where I don't have to constantly measure up to some worldly standard of beauty. He made us beautiful naturally and there's nothing like the beauty of the hidden person of the heart that fears God.

What I am about to say has nothing to do with anything posted in this thread. It is really about things I have observed online. There is a strong delusion taking place right now in the church world. Much of it has already been discussed by frienduff . He has been warning about the all inclusive deception, and was he ever right! It is everywhere. There are so many going around promoting this huge revival that is coming, and how we do not need to look for Jesus return in our lifetime. They are saying he will not return for at least 100 years. I have never once seen in the Bible where we are told to think this way. We are told to be watching for Jesus' return. That in itself should send up warning flags, but there is more. We are told that we have not seen Joel's prophecy of an end time pouring out of God's Spirit yet, in spite of the fact Peter said it was being fulfilled in his day. They are making Peter and the Bible out as a lie without realizing it. I was watching a video where a man caught up in the deception almost made this connection, but shrugged it off. Beware.
Still, this is not what I want to discuss in this post. I want to address why people are being deceived. It is about serving the flesh and pride. People who are getting deceived are those who want to believe they have their houses in order when they do not, and they are using experiences as the basis of proof they really know God in an intimate way. They have convinced themselves that God is speaking directly to them, and this shows they are living a life pleasing to Christ. Some are even experiencing strange visitations from the Lord and even being shown around heaven. How can you question such spiritual giants? They must be the most separated and holy people on the planet to have Jesus walk through their wall and talk to them, and then reveal secrets about heaven. People eat this stuff up. The biggest issue is self deception. That is what is driving this.
Why no revival? Why do bad things continue to occur? If we believe them, it is because God is revealing the evil in this world before he eradicates it. God is doing a purging, and when He is through, He will give us a good government where all rule and reign in righteousness, and covid19 will be a thing of the past, just a bad memory. I believe that the reason why this is occurring is because the Christians are in sin, and holding onto sinful things, and God is giving them over to a delusion. The church is trying to operate according to the fashion of the world, rather than doing things God's way, and they will not change. Instead, they are looking to experience as proof they have things right. If they were forced to choose God or sinful pleasures, they would choose the sins.
I want to address something here. I am no spiritual giant. I have plenty of room for improvement. The only reason I believe that I ever hear from the Lord is because I sincerely want the truth, wherever it leads. It is just God's wonderful grace at work, nothing good about me. Hearing from the Lord is not proof of piety. Dreams and visions and experiences are not proof of devotion, because the devil will give us dreams and visions. Here is what everyone needs to consider. Do you have idols in your life, things you would not give up even if God told you that you must to enter into heaven? I ask this of all of us. Is it your associations? Is it your clothes? Is it the things you entertain yourself with? We recently talked about what is okay to watch based on personal convictions? Is the television more important to you than God? Is your position more important than God? Is there anything in this world you are holding onto more important to you than God? I do not mean because people say you are wrong, but if God said you were wrong. If there is, repent, because you are in danger of falling under the delusion to prove you really know God and everything is okay in your life. I really believe that is what is taking place, and we are seeing people calling on God by faith, but according to the flesh. I know what I mean when I say that, and I hope it is clear. It is not the easiest thing to explain. Just beware of what you are seeing, because the delusions are stronger than ever, among people that come across very spiritual. They stand against homosexuality and abortion and support Trump, but that does not mean their hearts are right. Beware.

I looked up evangelism outreach on facebook and found the minister under Gerald Smith Ministries. Under that name, you can see his messages.

Both sides are being decieved big time now . Both sides are looking for this giant end time revival and both sides will soon meet and find this false common ground . What is and what is coming will not and shall not be stopped . The delusion has began . I am gonna leave us with similiar words to peter . SEEING ye know the truth , STILL BEWARE lest anyone is led away with the error of the wicked and the inclusive we are one end time revival delusion . THE REVIVAL IS the DELUSION . IT WILL be on COMMON GROUND . NOT JESUS . IT WILL BE ON UNITY . NOT JESUS . AND IT WILL BE UNDER ANTI CHRIST BEAST . The ones who shall be hated will be those who warned and did not conform . JESUS never told the church , Never hinted that HIS COMING would not be for ten , twenty or a hundred years . HE always left the impression that HIS coming was nigh and that we had better be looking lest THAT DAY OVERTAKES US AS A THEIF . JESUS WILL COME in an hour that many THINK NOT . Beware , MANY THINK NOT . THEY TOO BUSY looking for peace , some revival , unity or whatever . The false ones are doing just as they did in the bible . INSTEAD OF SEEING THE SIGNS , THEY ARE HOLLERING A FALSE PEACE , A FALSE HOPE .

JOHN , unto those who know the truth , ITS ON THEM to DO everything now to help the lambs . I am witnessing an utter delusion that has and is swelling , JUST LIKE the SPIRIT warned me was coming . AND IT WILL NOT BE STOPPED . ONE thing we all should know is , THAT GOD DOES NOT CHANGE . IF HE warns and sends those to warn and the world and churches refuse to hear them HE will do as HE said HE WOULD . SEND a STRONG Delusion , give folks over to reprobate minds , SEEING they wanted HIM NOT in their conscious . NO reminder o GOD in their streets . ONLY the reminder of , the delusion . The delusion is , A god of their own making . AND ITS RUSHING INTO ALL PLACES NOW . EVEN ALL RELIGOINS . The jews are bowing to it , even muslims , even christendom , both liberal and even conservative . And the signs of the times , PROVES what days we in . I Leave us with JESUS WORDS . IF YOU WILL NOT WATCH , THEN I SHALL COME UPON YOU as A THIEF . AND THEY AINT Watching JOHN . THEY TOO busy under a delusion . THEY have become lovers of pleasures MORE than lovers of GOD . GOD dont change . SO merciful HE has been . SO LONGSUFFERING HE HAS BEEN . But read jeremiah . THERE COMES a time when he even tells them , IF EVEN MOSES or ETC STOOD up for the good of this people , I WOULD NOT EVEN HEAR THEM . WE must buckle down , strapping on all armour and we had better be prepared to lose every thing FOR JESUS sake . OH BUT COUNT IT ALL GAIN . IN THE END where one spends eternity , IS ALL THAT MATTERED . CLING TO CHRIST and stay in those bibles .
