17 thoughts on “A Hard Look At Truth…

  1. I have pondered this a few days.
    I agree to your assessment that there’s many different Cabal factions. I agree they all want to #1 as well. However, with the exception of maybe a few countries, they are all following the western Rockefeller Lock Step 21 agenda. Some cabals are farther along into it than others . But for the most part they all appear to be on the same page. This to me means the Rockefeller lock step 21 plan was agreed upon at some time. So at this moment it appears Rockefeller is in the lead cabal and has been for a while. However at some point that will change because of reasons you pointed out. That might be happening as we speak? Just my thoughts.
    I’d love to hear your opinion on this.

  2. Dianne, you mentioned Simon the Sorcerer and included the 2-minute video…. I was just reading that chapter today and got stuck on his story, meditating on it and asking questions. Simon comes on the scene in Acts 8:9. He’s introduced as using sorcery and bewitching the people of Samaria, counting himself as a great one. But shockingly, as Phillip preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, many were saved and baptized (vs. 12), including Simon (v.13). He believed the message of Jesus too, and he was baptized. Verse 13 goes on to say that Simon continued on with Phillip and witnessed miracles, signs and wonders. After Simon witnessed the apostles laying hands on people as they received the Holy Spirit, that’s when Simon offered them money (vs. 18) to receive “this power” (vs. 19) that comes from the Holy Spirit. Here’s where I was stopped in my tracks and spent time contemplating what had occurred….

    I was reminded that when any of us are “born again,” and we are then baptized, we still have to work out the old nature in us through “dying to self” and letting the “new nature” of Jesus Christ reign in us. Simon the sorcerer was a stark reminder that the conversion experience and our water baptism is only the beginning of our walk with the Lord.

    Simon was told by the disciples to repent of his wickedness and pray for God to forgive him (vs. 22). Another concerning statement by Simon is in verse 24 where he asks the apostles to “Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.” Instead of Simon repenting himself, he asked the apostles to seek forgiveness from God on his behalf. In the very next verse, instead of the apostles responding to Simon’s request and correcting him, this verse (vs. 25) says that “they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.” So, they never responded to Simon, but instead, they moved along and preached the gospel to others who were probably much more open to having a change of heart than what Simon had proven himself to have. From this scene, I concluded that the apostles may have decided not to “throw any more pearls before the swine (Simon).” Maybe this is why they didn’t explain to Simon that HE WAS THE ONE WHO SHOULD REPENT. They had already told him once to repent. So, when Simon comes back with a statement asking them to seek forgiveness for him, the apostles, in their anointed knowledge, knew that it was time to move on and to share the gospel with those who were more open to a genuine heart change.

    This example speaks to us when we are out witnessing. We may encounter people like Simon, who initially seem to have a genuine conversion, but then they may show their true colors. The Lord may have us move along to others who are ready to hear the gospel and ready to make genuine life changes. The Holy Spirit will discern for us…..we must stay in tune with Him in our walk, including our walk of witnessing for Jesus Christ. Amen!

    1. You got that one right. It became clear that Simon Magnus (Magnus was his title as in a Sorcerer. He was a great one in magic and occult practices. He taught for money ancient metaphysical teachings and the occult – witchcraft sorcery. It was obvious he never repented but just said that he did. And now he wanted to buy the spirit. There are many that do not understand acceptance and repenting. They accept, get baptised pay tithes and now they have religion. Acts points out the differences between verbal acceptance and being born again through sincere repentance. I can see Peter’s self righteous indignation fuming, especially knowing how wicked and evil Simon the occult worker was. Indeed, they told him what he must do, each have free will, no one can repent for you or accept for you. Simon was filled with demonic underworld spirits and used their powers of which he was not willing to give up any of that, he merely wanted to add the Holy Spirit to his list of powers. Peter was outraged and we aren’t as you said supposed to stand there and play face to face with sorcerors who seek to do evil. He had no intentions of doing good…he had intentions to heal the sick for money. The act of simony, or paying for position, is named after Simon. It reeks today in politics. And is what the great merchants of the earth do daily to get things done that they want done that are not of good but are evil. They pay commit simony to get their deeds accomplished. It was his teachings that twisted the words of the Lord and became what is known as Gnosticism, which thing The Lord hates. He used sorcery from demonic spirits to do things and the people called him a great one with the power of god and the Bible says he “bewitched” them with sorceries.

      But as you pointed out…it says the apostles layed hands on the people to impart the Holy Spirit 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) This does point out a growth process. Perhaps a testing process. I had not thought a lot of this in the past. But we do grow in the Holy Spirit we are seeing that more and more. I liken it to the closer we come to the Lord and the more we learn from Him and build our relationship, the more powerful the spirit becomes in us. Today we have a lot of con artists making money off God’s people the same as Magnus…the sorcerer who they all get pretty wealthy off of it. The Lord spoke of faith on sand versus rock…taking root and not taking root…(my bottom line of it) and in this we see it more clearly. You cannot trick God, and you cannot add the Lord as a collectible piece to ones archives of things they do. You have to come out of the old WAYS and repent sincerely. The Lord knows our hearts. He is not fooled. There is lots to ponder in that event.

      1. Thank you for talking this out with me, Dianne. I love your perspective and it causes me to go deeper into the meaning of this event, plus how it applies to our current events. Your insights and discernment help me out so much, and I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Have a very blessed day!

        1. Deb, your comment, made me look at it closer too. Whereas, the clip made for TV was not scripturally acurrate, it did get the points across in such a way people look at the scriptures closer…and it was that closer look that people can get confusing. For also this scripture of the laying on of hands…is what many religious ones have decided the Holy Spirit was only for the Apostles…forgetting that the Lord said all who receive him shall receive the holy spirit and the spirit fell on the number of them in the room far greater than 12 apostles. The Lord told us that we must have faith…the faith part moves mountains. Many have not tried to move a mountain for they haven’t been taught how to build their faith through the Holy Spirit. You are good at showing this to others. You are modest of it and of your faith works here, so be it. You are humble in it and blessed for it. We are all in a faith building process… each one at different levels each one making up the body of Christ and years ago, a person said I was a special little joint….as I was unsure where I fit in this body…just knew I was in it. I rather liked the “special little joint” name. I used it a lot after that. Smile.

          1. Laying on of hands…I have never tried this nor sought to…why? I can only say, I haven’t literally tried, but I must say, it is a curious thing to me. It is a gift from the Holy Spirit, and one that if sought and the Lord sees fit, surely will grant. My gifts are not of that, at least not at this moment. We all have been given gifts and each must seek what they have been given and develop and use them.

    2. From Missing Links – Chapter IX: “The Gentiles were accustomed to paying tribute to their false gods and keeping the pagan customs of the time. They worshipped the Greek and Roman deities and/or the deities that had been worshipped during Old Testament times. The Babylonian Mystery Religion was widely practiced, and one of its priests was even converted and baptized, but he erred when trying to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 8:9-24) That Simon, a Samaritan sorcerer, had the same name as the Apostle Peter who rebuked him, and I do not think that he (sorcerer Simon Peter) walked away without the intension to adapt this new religion to his old one. The falling away that the Apostle Paul wrote about was already in progress during those early years of Christianity. (Col. 2:8; Gal. 2:4; 2 Th. 2; Jude 4) Even some of the popular converts can be found flip-flopping and disserting the faith to return to the world. (2Tim. 4:10)” 

  3. 2 Corinthians 4:4-6…. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

  4. Well spoken. I think the Vatican should be included as an entity that supports, and advocates, the NWO protocols. I have speculated for a few decades that the Vatican might be the first beast of Revelation chapter 13. And about 8-10 years ago, I have come to believe that the UN might be the second beast, because that it is granted also the power of the first beast. If that be so, then the global religion and the global political power have thus become one, or at least in agreement under one and the same umbrella. And now we see the UN aggressively pushing the vaccines, and the mandates, thus potentially giving them the power to dictate who can and who cannot buy or sell.
    God bless, and let us all keep looking up in
    prayer…

  5. Thank you for getting to what this is really about. The Souls of Mankind.
    Satan had been cast out of heaven, along with a 3rd of the angels, for trying to overthrow God. He had to get to Adam and Eve quick because he knew if they took of the Tree of Life it was game over.
    God could have destroyed satan at anytime but didn’t. Instead God chose to openly embarras him by taking a Man, that was created a little lower than the angels, that would worship God and do better than him and all his fallen angels that would not worship God. And all the world would see and know that he is God!
    From then to now satan has been trying to take as many souls to hell with him as he can. He knows what his final place is, the lake of fire, and that he has already lost the war and his time is short.
    The unceasing prayers need to be made for those who have never accepted him as Lord and Savior.

  6. Even though a Greek writer, around 500 BC, said, “In war, truth is the first casualty,” our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ assured us that we would know the truth and the truth would make us free.

    And I have been focusing on that statement in John 8:32 for quite some time. It is actually the second part of a longer sentence by Christ. Here is John 8:31 and 8:32 – –

    • So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” – – (John 8:31,32 — NASB)

    It presents a kind of “if – then” statement. An action, and result. Which led to a personal challenge for me….

    Am I continuing in God’s Word? Am I truly a disciple of Jesus Christ?

    Jesus said that God’s Holy Spirit will be with us, after He ascended into heaven.

    I have experienced that. A Counselor, providing discernment, and guidance, and revealing the truth in a world that is so full of deceit. And continuing in His Word has brought that out, even stronger than ever before. And truth-seekers like Dianne, inspired by the Holy Spirit, are adding so much to my discernment.
    And that truth, God’s truth, will make us free. God’s got this.

    Like in the old hymn, “His truth is marching on …”

    John832

    1. Thank you John. The Greek writer had the pagan gods and their truth is the first casualty. I like the “if” insight that is what the goal is as you said…to stay in the word of the Lord. And not wander off into the ways of the world of the Greek writer. Amen.

    2. We are admonished to ‘rightly divide the word’. John 8:31-32 is Jesus speaking to the Jews, as the verse says, or is he speaking to all of us sinners? Serious question

      1. If he was speaking to the Jews who believed him…then he was speaking to the Jews. Yet, His words are for our edification as well as he came first to the Jews and then to the gentiles because of their unbelief. And as promised to Abraham who was not a Jew, to have children as many as the sands of the sea and father of nations. From Greek it says, 31. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Translated from Aramaic it says: 31And Yeshua said to those Judeans who trusted in him, “If you will continue in my word, you are truly my disciples.” 32“And you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free.” 

        I have heard many debate saying he came for the Jews and the Jews only and not for anyone else. Whereas, he did come to fulfil the prophecies for them, but through their non belief they rejected him and the tree was cut down to the roots, as the prophets had prophecied that they would do and Jesus wept for he said he would have gathered them as a mother hen gathers her chicks but they would not have him. And so the corner stone that the Jews rejected he built his house. Mathew 21:42 says,”“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?” Psalms 118:22, Jeremiah 11:11. It was all foretold what would be. When he appeared to the disciples after he had risen Jesus sent the disciples out to the gentiles (which mean nations) to preach the good news that he has risen. He instructed them also to go to the upper room and there they would receive the Holy Spirit. Sending them out with the Holy Spirit for the Temple was cursed by rejecting him and he already foretold this that no stone would be left upon the other. And now he resides in us and us in him. He fulfilled the promises to Abram that he gave to him when he said no longer will you be called Abram but Abraham for you will be the father of many nations. Genesis 17:5.

        And as it says there is no Greek, nor jew, nor gentile in Christ all are one as it says in Galatians 3:28. Ezekiel prophecied the stick of Joseph and the stick of Jacob shall come together as one. Jacob representing the twelve tribes of Israel…the nation through Abraham’s son, and also Joseph who’s sons Manansseh and Ephraim inherited the birthright…upon Jacobs deathbed…who were gentiles having an Egyptian mother …. so this all took place before there was a division in the land of Israel and the kingdom was split after Solomon’s death. And the Levites and tribe of Benjamin remained in Jerusalem and all the other tribes separated and formed Judea.

        We can note also that Ruth, was a Moabite and not of Israel except through marriage. For that reason, in her husband’s death she was granted to go back to her people by Naomie as was custom…for she was not an Israelite, and Ruth said, I will go with you for I am of faith an Israelite and believe in the true God and she went. And later married Boaz…of whom came David….so there have always been those of Israel as one of faith and belief. The separation of nationality is moot … it is to divide and a lie. For through Christ are we saved…not under the law. Which was a shadow of things to come as it says in the book of Hebrew again…that Jesus is a King by the order of Melchizedek, not of the order of the law and Levitical priesthood; for it was the Melchizedek priesthood whom Abraham gave the tithe. And the Lord is the high priest forever under the heavenly priesthood of Melchizedek.

  7. Thanks for sharing this song! I never heard of Judy Jacobs before. I actually put this song as my ringtone near the end of 2020. Thank you again for sharing this information and encouragement to keep pressing!
