Are You Spiritually Cold, Lukewarm Or Hot?

Decide Wisely

Revelation 3:15-16 says “I know your works, that you are neither old not hot. I wish you were either one of the other. Because you are lukewarm- neither hot nor – I will spit you out of my mouth.”

We are still in the church age dispensation in this dwindling Grace period. Are you Cold Lukewarm or nor spiritually? Your spiritual condition is vital in the perilous time. Being spiritually cold, lukewarm or hot is an analogy used by God in Revelation 3:15-16.

If one is spiritually cold, it means that person is an apathetic an unprofitable, inactive fruitless believer. Spiritually lukewarm means that a person is a hypocrite (a religious pretender), vanity prone and worldly believer (1 John 2:15-16), neither hot or cold.

A spiritually cold or lukewarm believer is ashamed of the Gospel, not keen about soul winning for the Lord and not ready always for glorious Rapture due to apathy, extreme attachment to vanity and mundane, worldly things.

A spiritually Hot believer is a wise person with a lamp full of oil (Matthew 25:1-13), zealous soul winner for the Lord, and heavenly minded. Christ focused, fruitful and dedicated slave (servant) for Christ ever ready for the coming of the Lord on prophetic glorious rapture day.

The church (of bride as God words it) will not be on earth when the anti-christ is ruling tyrannically the “One World Government/Economy “ in the satanic “New World Order” in conjunction with the diabolical False Prophet and his deceptive “One World Religion” (Revelation 13:1-18).

The infernal trinity (Satan, Anti-Christ and False Prophet) as weak as hordes of wicked demons and satanic principalities from the satanic kingdom will make the world distressful for left behind people globally during the Great Tribulation period.

Along with the mandatory enforcement of the Mark of the beast worldwide. No one will be able to buy, sell or travel or carry out any activity without being chipped and get branded.

If you look at Bible prophecy it is clear to see that everything that has been prophesied in the Bible has come to pass. The likelihood that the book of Revelation will come to pass is sure.

People that don’t believe it are right where Satan wants them to be, lost and deceived. If you know anything about the word of God you know this is true. Sadly there will be some who will not see this come to pass until it’s to late for them. Yes, people will be saved during this time but the suffering will be Insurmountable.

Always be watchful and rapture ready the church is not anointed unto divine wrath of the prophetic worldwide Great Tribulation period (Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 9:27; Revelation 6:16) but will be mercifully delivered into Divine safety by the long awaited Lord (Luke 21:36; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5: 9-11; Revelation 3:10).

The prophetic 7 years worldwide Tribulation period will be a time apocalypse agonizing distress for the left behind people worldwide and the unbelieving/ lost souls, scoffers, traditional/religious idolaters, rebellious Satanists/ Occultists/ Mystics and the unbelieving Jews.

No one knows the day or hour (Matthew 24:36; 25:13) of the rapture because it is a suspense filled divine event in God’s End Times prophetic colander but the worldwide Great tribulation period will occur during the prophetic Jewish time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 9:27. Revelation 6:16).

One thing is absolute God’s Word says there will be signs. And a great trumpet blast by God’s Archangel will you be ready on Rapture day? It will happen suddenly.

The Bible speaks of various heavenly crowns that are described in 2 Timothy 2:5, 2 Timothy 4:8, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:4, and Revelation 2:10.

Heaven and Hell are real. The devil isn’t some cartoon character with horns on his head.

The world is presently blinded in horrific darkness due to the increased of satanic activities worldwide and the demonic onslaught on humanity.

The increased satanic activities globally , regular scary news online and offline new media, killings, rampant kidnappings, unrestrained sexual immorality, debauchery, violent terrorism in some countries, rumors of wars and looming nuclear war. Along with international war aggression between super-powers, etc,,, are intense spiritual “Birth Pains” which are vital warning signs for spiritually discerning Rapture ready believers in Christ.

The Russia-Ukrainian war is a vital warning sign for believers in Christ with prophetic insight.

What Is Electric Compulsive Therapy?

I came upon this article and found it very interesting and thought I should share.

Electric Compulsive Therapy is known as ECT. It is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, and which small electric currents are path through the brain intentionally triggering a brief shock (seizure). ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of a certain mental health conditions.

ECT often works when other treatments are unsuccessful or when the full course of treatment is completed, but it may not work for everyone.

Much of the stigma attached to ECT is based on early treatment in which high doses of electricity were administered without anesthesia, leading to memory loss, record bones and other serious side effects.

ECT is much safer today. Although ECT makes your car some side effects, it now use an electric current given in a controlled setting YouTube the most benefit with the fewest possible risks.

Why It’s Done

  • Severe Depression, particularly when accompanied by detachment from reality (psychosis), a desire to commit suicide or refusal to eat.
  • Treatment resistant depression, a severe depression that does not improve with medication or other treatments.
  • Severe Mania, A state of intense euphoria, agitation or hyper activity that occurs as part of bipolar disorder. Other side of mania include impaired decision-making, impulsive or risky behavior, substance abuse, and psychosis.
  • Catatonia, characterized by lack of movement, bath or strange movements, lack of speech, and other symptoms. It’s associated with schizophrenia and certain other psychiatric disorders. In some cases catatonia is caused by a medical illness.
  • Agitation and aggression in people with dementia, which can be difficult to treat and negatively affect their quality of life.

ECT may be a good treatment option when medication aren’t tolerated or other forms of therapy haven’t worked.

In some cases ECT is used:

  • During pregnancy, when medication can’t be taken because they might harm the fetus.
  • In older adult who can’t tolerate drug side effects.
  • And people who prefer ECT treatments over taking medication.
  • When ECT has been successful in the past.

The Risks

Although ECT is generally safe, risks and side effects may include:

Confusion. Immediately after treatment you may experience confusion, which can last from a few minutes to several hours. You may not know where you are why are you there. Really confusion can last several days or longer. Confusing if generally more noticeable in older adults.

Memory loss. Some people have trouble remembering events they let her right before the treatment or in weeks or months before treatment or, rarely, from previous years. Condition is called retrograde amnesia. You may also have trouble recalling events that occurred during the weeks of your treatment. For most people, do you have memory problems usually improve within a couple months after treatment ends.

Physical side effects. On the day of an ECT treatment, some people experience nausea, headache, your pain or muscle aches. The generally can be treated with medication.. As with any type of medical procedure especially one that involves anesthesia, there are risks medical complications. During ECT, heart rate and blood pressure increase, and in rare cases, that can lead to serious heart problems. If you have heart problems, If you have heart problems, ECT may be more risky.

Medical complications. As with any type of medical procedure, especially one that involves anesthesia, there are risks of medical complications. During ECT, heart rate and blood pressure increases, and in rare cases, that can lead to serious heart problems. If you have heart problems, ECT may be more risky.

How To Prepare

Before having your first ECT treatment, you’ll need a full evaluation, which usually includes:

  • Medical history
  • Complete physical exam
  • Basic blood tests
  • Electrocardiogram to check your heart health
  • A discussion of the risks of anesthesia

The ECT procedure takes about five or 10 minutes, with added time for preparation and recovery. ECT can be done while you were hospitalized or at an outpatient procedure.

I didn’t think that they did ECT anymore. But I found this article at mayoclinic.org.

I knew a lady that had ECT done years ago. After about 12 treatments she was found on her basement bedroom floor where she had been laying for a week. Unable to get up, unable to eat or drink, confused and disoriented. She told me she knew she had to get herself up and get moving or she would die there.

A word of caution if someone you know is having ECT treatments do not leave them alone, do not assume that they’re going to be just fine.

It was a very traumatic experience for this lady I knew. No one should have to go through what she went through.

Scars And Your Soul

We all have scars from our past, scars from pain. We are all on a journey we did not choose. Some scars are emotional scars, while others are on the outside. Our scars tell our stories. They reveal what we have been through and where we have been. They reveal the strength we all have deep inside of us.

So many times, we try to hide our pain behind painted on smiles and our lives. We try to paint a pretty picture we want others to see, but deep down we may be hanging on by a thread. We have to accept that there are those who will not understand, all we can do is share what we have been through and speak openly so the things we hide will lose its power and maybe help someone else along the way.

Our pain makes us feel deeply, but to heal we have to acknowledge our pain is real. If we become numb to it, it eats away at us. It is important to find the root cause of your pain behind you’re scars. When we realize behind every scar there’s a story to share. Behind every scar is a human being it belongs to. Pain can dig up old memories that we wish we could forget, but forgetting is not coping, it’s just hiding it deep inside of our soul. That’s a quote that says “Never be ashamed of your scars, it simply means that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.”

It takes time to come to the point we are ready to share the stories behind our scars. But when you realize that the stories behind or scars can be used to inspire and encourage others. It’s worth showing them, every story from a scar makes us stronger and there’s a chance you can help someone along the way.

Maybe, just maybe you can help someone just by hearing what you’ve endured. You can make a difference, your pain can inspire others in their journey.

So, no more hiding behind the shadows or masks you wear. Scars reveal truth, they remind us how raw we once were (how real our pain was). No one has the right to diminish our feelings or our pain. Scars reveal transparency, and our courageous will to survive.

Scars Are Not Injuries, A Scar Is A Healing After The Injury, It’s What Makes Us Whole. — China Mieville

It’s time to see beyond the scars and see yourself as the beautiful person you are and to show the world all you have to offer.

Sowing And Reaping: Making The Right Choices

Life is full of choices. You will reap what you sow – therefore choose life!

“You reap what you sow” is a well known idiom but this principle is also biblical.

God said to Moses “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19.

Life is full of choices. It is written in Proverbs to “ponder the path of your feet, and… remove your foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:26-27. We need to think about our choices and what the consequences of our choices are. They can lead to corruption, or to enteral life.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh real corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life

Galatians 6:7-8

We Choose In The Time Of Temptation

Everything in life goes exactly according to what is writing God’s Word. There are no exceptions. This is a law of life that affects everyone. whether a believer or a non-believer. You will reap what you sow. All corruption that is in the world comes from lusts. 2 Peter 1:4. James asks, “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?” James 4:1.

All sin begins in the thought life. When a temptation comes up as a thought, if I agree with it, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is practiced it brings forth death. (James: 1:14-15). This death is reaping the wages of spiritual death, where one’s conscience becomes hardened and one cannot discern between good and evil. One lives in sin.

It is written about the passing pleasures of sin which Moses rejected. What people can’t understand with is that pleasure of sin passing the reaping of corruption will follow. It’s reaped in marital difficulties and divorce. It’s reaped in financial difficulties. It’s reaped in the thought life with images of past sinful behavior. One can be tempted with thoughts of regret, anxiety,suspicion,unthankfulness, bitterness, discontent and all sorts of bad memories. But Jesus can set one free from all of this and make one free. John 8:34-36.

God’s Word Is The Solution

We can overcome even while we have to reap, by taking up the battle in the thought life, taking thoughts captive and bringing them into the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. These thoughts are to be met with a firm and unwavering “No” and then bringing out thoughts, as quickly as possible to God’s Word and in faith obeying the Word. Apostle Paul writes in connection with anxiety to meditate on whatever is noble and anything praiseworthy Philippians 4:8. Over time one will come to rest from the reaping in the thought life.

It is written about being hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13. Sin can be deceptive and Satan can make it appear as something very attractive by appealing to our reasoning. Just look around you’ll see the fruit of deception. You will see the fruit of such decep. You will see the wages of sin. Politicians, entertainers, spirt stars, and just people in your daily life get exposed and reap corruption. They get abased because of their pride.

Choose Life!

Why not choose life and avoid all this unnecessary suffering and misery? Sow to the Spirit and instead reap eternal life. The Apostle Paul writes in Romans that to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6. If we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Galatians 5:16-17. There is a battle going on in your thoughts. Spirit lusts against the flesh and the flesh against the Spirit. They are contrary to one another. But through the power of an eternal Spirit we can overcome those lusts of the flesh. Apostle Paul writes if we give into the works of the flesh we will not inherit the kingdom of God. That kingdom consists of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, which are the fruits of overcoming life.

Paul also lists the fruits of the Spirit:

  • Love
  • Joy
  • Peace
  • Long suffering
  • Kindness
  • Goodness
  • Faithfulness
  • Gentleness
  • Self-Control

These are found in Galatians 5:22-23. And exhorted Timothy flee the things of the world and fight of faith and lay hold eternal life. Timothy 6:11-12. Jesus also fought this fight. That battle resulted in perfection as a result of learning obedience in the sufferings. Hebrews 5:8. All the fullness of God came to dwell in His spirit. He opened that way for us to follow Him. It’s a fight worth fighting. So, in your daily situations choose life. You won’t regret it.
