GREAT MOVIES ABOUT OUR GREAT GOD & HIS SAINTS [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 118]

December 10, 2013 by jesusislord 2 Comments

Brethren and seekers of God,

Scroll down for Movie 9 – Jesus, the Blind Man, and the Hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees

Or click here to go right to the end of the listing of movies.

A picture is worth a thousand words. And a great movie about God and His saints can stir our hearts and lead us to actually obey His loving and gracious commands. The creation and life during recorded time is all about His kingdom and the glory (magnification) it brings to the Father and His King, the Christ…

Let us not be using movies in place of God’s exhortations. For we all in the affluent west and other parts of the world can use our Christianity as a-muse-ment and miss Him and the Holy Spirit to do His will. If we’re not walking worthy of Him, then the idol of a-muse-ment can seductively capture our heart and create a spiritual stupor.

Are we loving God intimately by practicing the spiritual deeds He requires to enter into final eternal life with Him? Always do these first and foremost before any movie about Him and His saints. In other words, are we a doer of the Word, or just a “watcher” of the Word?

No saint wants to be guilty of Dead Sea Christianity: always flowing in and never flowing out. The Jordan River is always flowing south…towards the Dead Sea!

Movie 1) St. John in Exile – featuring Dean Jones

Our dear brother Dean here presents the apostle John in exile on the island of Patmos, the hell-hole were the worst offenders of the Roman empire were sent for imprisonment. This is a marvelous live stage production and is riveting in both of the two acts. Dean also was featured as the physician Luke in the movie dramatization call Acts.

+++

Movie 2 – The Radicals – the gripping story of our spiritual ancestors, the Anabaptists.

Modern day western Christianity for the most part bears little resemblance to the radical call of holiness that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded in His teaching in Matthew 5-7. As a new Christian in the late 80’s, I was diligently searching for the real Jesus…and God answered my cry. In a sovereign move of God, he introduced me to our brethren the Anabaptists (meaning “to baptize again”) from Europe in the early part of the 1500’s.

These simple and dedicated people just wanted to live like our Lord in their dealings with their enemies, with money, and the poor, blind, lame, and crippled. In so doing, they caused a furor of murderous opposition from not only the Pope and his armies…but also self-declared Christians like Martin Luther. Yes, that’s right. Martin Luther was directly responsible for the murder of 1000’s of these dear saints since he hated their doctrine of following the ‘inner Spirit.’

Watch now as Micheal Sattler, an ex-priest, and his wife, Margaretha, an ex-nun, marry and are chased down for their faith, apprehended, and tried as criminals of the “state.” Learn the true truth about our brave and sacrificial ancestors in Christ. You will never be the same again in your commitment to God the Father.

The full length movie was removed from YouTube. But a trailer and short segment remain.

+++

Movie 3 – Gospel of John – word for word rendition of John’s gospel as walked out by a most believable Jesus Christ.

The saints from the Visual Bible have done the current kingdom a great service for this excellent dramatization of the life of Christ. When viewing this in its almost 3 hour entirety, you will see why Jesus our Lord suffered so very much opposition and hatred from His human creatures. Either we fall on the stone willingly and are broken to pieces…or the stone falls on us and we are scattered like dust (Luke 20.18).

+++

Movie 4 – The Hidden Faith Of America’s Founding Fathers – By Christian Pinto

Our dear brother and film maker Christian Pinto does Christ’s body a great service by offering this 3 hour documentary about the truth regarding the men and spirits who founded America. See how God was in the midst of this occultic origin and its rebellion against His stated authority over the 13 colonies in the form of the English king. The modern day war cry of ‘taking back America’ will ring empty when we know the truth – for if we continue in His Word, we shall know the truth and that truth will set us free.

+++

Movie 5 – God Of Wonders – Documentary

Our great God and Savior is the author of not only our faith…but of all kingdom wonders! Watch now as this excellent hour and a half documentary takes us all on a tour of the Ancient of Days and His world.

+++

Movie 6 – The Hiding Place – the gripping story of Corrie Ten Boom and her family

As a new Christian in the late 1980’s, everything was new and exciting with the new birth. But reading His Word and history, I knew in my spirit that all was not rainbows and unicorns as portrayed in the western church. The incomplete, sentimental, hyper-feminized and false gospel of Billy Graham-Max Lucado-Rick Warren-Dave Ramsey-George W. Bush-Tim Tebow religion had anesthetized many of my peers in His body…but this movie helped me and my family escape from the American Jesus. Watch as God uses great suffering in the Ten Boom family during the Jewish Holocaust of World War II. We can expect similar treatment in the coming days we suspect. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

+++

Movie 7 – Acts of The Apostles – every verse in the book of Acts portrayed in drama

It was a summer evening in Florida as I stood in the center of the room with tears streaming now my face. The last scene in this drama united Luke the physician and the apostle Paul late in their life after many harrowing adventures for the kingdom of God. It may be my favorite movie scene of all time. The love and joy in these two saints toward each other and God is unmistakable. I begged the Lord that very night to allow us here in the barren West to encounter true kingdom work that builds these deep relationships like that. Other than a miscast for the apostle Peter, this is fairly good. And Dean Jones as Luke is noteworthy. The book of Acts comes to life, and we thank God for the saints from the Visual Bible who carefully produced it for the body of Christ.

+++

Movie 8 – The Privileged Planet – Documentary

As far as any human being can tell, the Earth is the only place in the universe that has the privilege of the miracle of life as we know it. The movie here is excellent for outreach, and helping to solidify our growing faith. Our children will marvel and appreciate all God has done to draw us into His kingdom and His Son!

+++

Movie 9 – Jesus, the Blind Man, and the Hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees

These dramatic clips depict our Lord as He truly is: a God Who will not bow down to His creatures, despises stonewalling and stumbling, and calls us all to account. The real Jesus Christ is our Lord, Friend and Savior through the Father’s decree…if we obey His commands (John 14-17), and don’t depart and fall away from the faith (1 Timothy 4, Hebrews 10, etc), as we endure to the end and pray that we escape all these things that are about to come upon the world (Luke 21.46). As Chuck Colson said in the late 80’s if Jesus were to come today to the West, the false religious leaders who wish to keep their place (power) and position (mammon) would kill Him again.

Let us all follow and walk with the Jesus Who is, not the One of our our manufacture. I, for one, am anxious to meet the blind man from John 9 and once again see first hand his personal stand against these spiritual bullies. And of course meeting and worshiping the Jesus Who healed Him and was murdered by these same wretches ensnared by Satan himself.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER, GEORGE W. BUSH, HIS FAMILY, & 911 [PREPARING FOR GREAT TRIBULATION 14]

November 1, 2013 by jesusislord Leave a Comment

The New World Order. Skull and Bones. The Occult. Fascism. Financing Hitler and his gas chambers. 911.

The list goes on and on pertaining to this ‘royal’ American family, and it’s dastardly deeds against mankind and God Himself. Arguably the biggest stooge, and least competent family member, in this drama is George W. Bush, know better as “W.” And I prayed for him regularly as my President…as I faithfully did for Bill Clinton…and Ronald Reagan…all occultists.

I’m embarrassed to say that I voted for George Senior as American President in 1988 as a very new Christian when I didn’t know any better. But I was extremely unsettled about it all. Since then the Holy Spirit has taught me that light has no part in darkness. And the lesser of two evils is…still evil. And that 1988 election was my very last election for President until 2010…until I cast my vote for the ultimate write-in candidate…Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He didn’t win.

The proper definition of fascism is the marriage of big business and government. No one is better versed in perpetuating this scam that the Bush family dynasty.

The W Bush administration impedes the state Attorney Generals from protecting their citizens against predatory lending practices, putting millions of Americans at risk and out of work . Then W’s group nails former New York Attorney General and then Governor Elliot Spitzer for sexual indiscretion after he exposes the Bush’s in the New York Times. This, of course, derails the investigation. And, of course, the big banks make a killing.

BIBLICAL HOME CHURCH [RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD 13]

October 1, 2013 by jesusislord 2 Comments

Immediately following this brief introduction, we’ve included videos and audios dealing with this most vital issue.

Quick now. When you hear the word “church,” what comes to mind?

Buildings? Pastors? Sermons? Pews? Worship bands? Sundays?

The Sunday morning “service” in the institutional church building is neither described nor prescribed in the New Testament record. The early body always met in homes. And the Greek word for “church” meant the saints of God, the called out ones from the world and it’s deadly ways. People and never real estate.

Why is this vital?

Jesus’ body is to be peacefully united around our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord through the mighty power of His Holy Spirit…and not a denomination and/or lead pastor…also walking worthy in holiness, and dealing with issues of sin and maturity. The local home church elder guided ekklesia (the called-out-of-the-world body, or “church”) is the only God created and anointed design that can fruitfully and consistently achieve this for the kingdom of God.

Our brother the apostle Paul exhorted the early believers in all his church plants to follow the traditions he hand handed down from the Lord:

1 Corinthians 11:1-2 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

Both our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul warned against following the traditions of men vs. the Lord’s traditions:

Matthew 15:3, 6b And (Jesus) answered and said to (the religious leaders), “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?…And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.”

Mark 7:8-9 “Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.” (Jesus) was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Now then, we turn to the Word of God to see how He recorded exactly where the early church met…

Romans 16:3-5 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles; also greet the church (saints) that is in their house…

1 Corinthians 16:19 The churches (saints) of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church (saints) that is in their house.

Colossians 4:15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church (saints) that is in her house.

Philemon 1:1-2 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker, and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church (saints) in your house…

We began this journey from the truth in the 300’s when the Emperor Constantine began using pagan temples to meet when many priests where being saved…and the Emperor made the Christian religion “respectable” to all by meeting in “churches.”

By the time our dear brother and Bible translator William Tyndale arrived on the scene in the early 1500’s, he was burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic Church and King Henry VIII for this “crime.” He fought valiantly to use the word “congregation” (the saints of God) vs. the “church” (the system of falsely religious leaders).

You may read William Tyndale’s story and watch the feature movie describing his life here.

You may purchase the history of the “church” here in the best-selling excellent book authored by Frank Viola and George Barna.

Two objections to the home church being God’s only design you may hear frequently. The first goes something like this. “Well, in Acts 20 Paul is the pastor in that meeting.” Not so. Paul was the visiting apostle church planter and the Greek word used to describe the method of the meeting mentions a dialog, not a monologue.

The other goes something like this. “God is using the big church.” Yes, He is doing just that in a way…for God will use anything He’s given to try and mature His saints. But, as we say here at Walk Worthy in a graphic way, God uses Asian whore houses too every day to save people but we shouldn’t frequent them!

Beresford Job teaches at “The Fellowship of Truth” meeting on the subject of “Biblical Church – a Challenge to Unscriptural Traditions and Practice.” We appreciate all of brother Beresford’s labors in His vineyard!

While we agree with the majority of his conclusions, we do not agree in the least with his conclusion that women should be “silent” in His meetings. For a thorough treatment of the controversial passages on women in 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2, see Jon Zens’ excellent work, What’s With Paul and Women?

Brother, church planter, and elder Dick Scoggins teaches on the origin, role, and necessity of the home church.

Dick has planted churches and discipled leaders for decades around the world. He’s the teacher’s teacher, and his spiritual insights on body life and leadership have helped many. We’re most indebted to Dick and his tireless focus on co-working with our Lord and His body.

We agree with the majority of his conclusions, and thank him for his proclamations! We do not agree with his assessment that there’s no problem with “large churches” in relation to their acceptance and design from God. For our Lord only has one design He created for His children to meet and flourish…and brother Beresford is absolutely correct in calling this one design “biblical church.”

Listen now to the wisdom of God through our dear brother Dick…

Here now we have Beresford Job and his Traditions audio series…

Marc was first introduced to this revolutionary teaching by Beresford at a southern house church conference in the ’90’s. His careful and meticulous research and presentation was evident in the way he built his case for “biblical church.”

Marc still remembers the significant impact this had on him and others…especially the story of complete surprise regarding the blind man healed by Jesus in John 9 and what that miracle meant to the religious leaders of the day – the Pharisees.

Sit back now and get ready to be informed, challenged…and set straight on many “traditions of men” that have invaded the unbiblical church today…and perhaps own own lives too.
