Speaker 1 (00:03):
Greetings. The Christian Corner Ministries greets you. In the name
of Jesus. We are delighted that you have joined us.
We pray that the worship and biblical teaching would help
and encourage you. Now, the next voice you will hear
is our own Pastor Caleb Santos.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
This is your friend and host, Pastor Caleb Santos, with
a word for you on this wonderful Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I'm actually recording this at eight forty eight pm Sunday,
the twenty second of June, and I have a schedule
to come out at seven thirty tomorrow, which is going
to be Monday, so you're hearing this on the delayed podcast.
So praise God for the wonders of technology. I want
(01:06):
to just share with you a couple of things that
will help you navigate through the challenges of this present age.
There's been a lot of talk about armageddon, World War III,
Israel attacking Iran. It's a lot of fear. There's a
lot of concern and a lot of concern, especially here
(01:29):
in America, about an EMP attack. And I'm here to
tell you fear not, fear not if you are saved,
if you love the Lord, you have nothing to fear
because God's got your back. The Bible says in Psalms
one hundred and twelve, he shall not be afraid of
evil tidings or evil news, of bad news. And how
(01:51):
many of that we hear nowadays, And a lot of
times we hear so much voices, so much new that
sometimes we wonder which is the right source of news
with so many distortions.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I want to share with you a.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Couple of things that will help you and you'll walk
with the Lord. And I'm talking to myself too, because
I need to hear this, because this is a time
of great concern about what's happening in this world, and
we need to be prepared. We need to be prepared,
We need to be grounded and rooted in the things
of God. I want to share some things with you
(02:28):
concerning Second Tessalonians to eleven, Second Tessalonians to eleven, and
this is from the King James version. And for this cause,
God shall send them strong delusions that they should believe Alie,
strong delusion. This is not a regular delusion. Is a
strong delusion that they should believe a lie. Right now,
(02:52):
we have so much voices in the world, and it
has gotten complicated with the use of AI. A lot
of times we hear that sometimes AI makes up its
own news.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's how advanced it is. And we need to be discerning.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That we don't believe the lives of the enemy. Amen,
and let's break down the word delusion. Okay, the word
delusion comes from the Greek word plant i plan i,
And I'm not a Greek scholar, but I did some research.
It says a wandering straying about let us stray from
(03:29):
the right way are meant to strain wrong opinions about
morals or religion. And we've seen that a lot and
returned the page here. I got some notes here, error,
deceit of fraud. And we're going to look at a
couple of translations here that will help us to understand
(03:50):
a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Here.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Let's look at the ASV version, the ASV version, which
is the American standard version, and it says here that
for this cause God sendeth them a working of error,
that they should believe a lie the amplified. Because of this,
God will sent upon them a misleading influence, an activity
(04:14):
of error. And deception so they will believe the lie
the AMPC the Classic amplified. Therefore, God sends upon them
a misleading influence, a working of error, and a strong
delusion to make them believe what is false. And there's
other translation here. I'm trying to look for a good
(04:36):
translation that will narrow at home. Let's look at this
translation complete Jewish Bible. He will enable him to deceive
in all kinds of wicked ways, those who are headed
for destruction because they will not receive the love of
the truth that could have saved them. This is why
God is causing them to go astray, so that they
will believe the lie. The result will be all who
(04:58):
have not believed the truth, but taking their pleasure and wickedness,
will be condemned. Now I want to narrate down back
to the King James version, okay, and I'm going to
read it again on more time so that it could
it could be able to be in your heart. Here answer,
you could know what I'm talking about. Tewod Tessalonians, chapter two,
(05:19):
verse eleven. And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion that they should believe alive. Now, let me
ask you a question. God, is truth? Right, God is
associated with truth. Well, why is God sending them strong
delusion that they should believe alive? You would think that
(05:39):
God wants them to know the truth. Well, let's look
at a couple of scriptures here that will help us
to understand the meaning of all this. Let's look at
see here, Amen, let's look at John chapter twelve, verse
thirty eight through forty, that the saying of Isaiah the
(06:00):
Prophet might be fulfilled which he spacked the Lord, who
had believed I would report, and to whom have the
arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe,
because Isaiah said again he has blinded their eyes and
heartened their hearts, that they should see with their eyes, no,
understand what their heart and be converted that I should
heal him. Now over here we see something like a contradiction.
(06:23):
Why is God blinding their eyes and then at the
same time he wants them to be healed from error?
It doesn't make any sense. Well, we're gonna look at
a couple of things here.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I had.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I don't know what happened to it. I think that
the devil got mad. But I had the verse here
that will clarify it, and let's see if I could
find it here. So bear with me, amen, and praise God. Amen,
Praise the Lord. Let me look at my trusted computer.
I had it right here, and all of a sudden
(06:56):
it just got a race. Okay, they shut they have shout.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
There, eyes Bibles, Richard, Bear with me.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I had it right here. I tell you.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
The enemy is so slick. Tell you he doesn't want
the people to have the truth. God is not working
against himself.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Let's look at Matthew thirteen fifteen. Matthew thirteen fifteen. Amen,
and we're gonna read as does in the King James version.
If I could find it here, Amen, Praise God. All right,
let me go to Bible gateway here, give me a minute.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Here. God is a good God. Amen, he is a
good God. Right that few thirteen fifteen.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's the key scripture that I want you to remember.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Okay, Amen, It says here, for this people's heart is
wax gross, gross, and their ears are dull, dull if
hearing and their eyes look at that says here. This
is the same scripture from Isaiah. And their eyes they
have closed at least that any times they should see
where their eyes and hear with their ears, and should
understand what their heart and should be converted, and I
(08:34):
shall heal them. Now, let's look at a couple of
translations here, Amen, let me look at a couple of
translations that will help us. Let's look at the amplify.
For this nation's heart has grown hard, and with their
ears they hardly hear, and they have tightly closed their eyes.
O otherwise they will see me with their eyes and
hear with their ears, and understand where their heart and
(08:55):
turn to me, and I will heal them spiritually. You
gotta understand that in the Old Testament the Jews their
writing of the Jews, they credited God with good things
and even bad things, even though he wasn't involved with it.
And I think it was because of lack of revelation
on their part. But I really believe that Jesus corrected that.
(09:16):
And Jesus said that they have tightly closed their eyes.
They have been the ones that have closed their eyes,
not the Lord. They have closed their eyes, and the
Lord wanted to heal them. And let me tell you
of spiritual sickness that is out there, is being spiritually blind,
that is a sort of spiritual sickness. And let me
(09:38):
tell you, and it is dangerous when you find a
person who's spiritually sick, who's spiritually blind, And.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Let me tell you, we need to pray for people
like that.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
There's people that were once serving the Lord, that was
into the things of holiness, and now seems that they
have lowered their standards. It seemed that the Body of
Christ have been in some ways lowering their standards.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I never thought I would see the day when we
will see homosexuals ministering and the altar and being ordained.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But that's happening.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
That's the society that we have because people are being deceived.
They have fallen into the spirit of strong delusions and
even strong delusions. And let me tell you, this is
the time to pray for the government. This is the
time not to be pussy footing around that we need
(10:33):
to pray forward government. And let me share some things,
some thoughts that will help you to be stable in
times like this. Fear not, that's the word of the
Lord for you.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Fear not. You need to seek the Lord with your
whole heart.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
These are days of challenges, these are days that many
of us may well be tested, and we need to
really seek the Lord. Let me tell you, the Holy
Spirit has been sent to us as a comforter. The
Holy Spirit has been sent to us as our helper.
And let me tell you, I want to challenge you
to spend long seasons of prayer in the spirit, Pray
(11:11):
in tongues, pray in the spirit, because you're going to
need the wisdom that uh that's going to be needed
for this world. There's gonna be circumstances that you won't
have an answer. There's gonna be family members that you
won't know how to pray, and the Holy Spirit will
teach you how to pray. There will be circumstances that
will be knocking you down and they won't and you'll
(11:34):
start to say, well, Lord, if your word promises me
that this, why am I having this? And let me
tell you this is what you need to understand. Number one,
you have a genius that lives in the in your heart,
in your inside of you. And number two, you need
to activate that genius by praying in the spirit. And
when you pray in the spirit and pray in tongues,
you ask God to help you to interpret those tongues
(11:58):
and He'll He'll revealed the mystery, he'll reveal revelation knowledge.
So spend seasons of prayer, praying in tongues, praying in
the spirit. Put not your trust in people or organizations.
I remember the Body of Christ. Most of the people
in the Body of Christ were voting for Trump, and
(12:19):
we saw a big division and the Body of Christ.
There were people that were vote for Biden, and there
was people that are voting were voting for Trump. And
there were the Maga people, people that a lot of
people misunderstood there what they stood for. And they all
they are revolutionary. Not all mega people are bad. Okay,
there's always a couple of bad apples in the bunch.
(12:41):
But these people wanted to make America great again. But
now we're seeing like a split. We're seeing like like disappointment.
Uh there was there was. There was hope that Donald
Trump was gonna end all wars, that there was going
to be peace, and all of a sudden, now we
see that America has been attacked. Let me tell you,
(13:02):
put not your trust and President Trump. In fact, I
told the Christian sister and the Lord who used to
be who used to do one under prophetic, I said, listen,
we need to understand that Trump is not perfect. Trump
is gonna make mistakes, and let me tell you, he
will make mistakes because he's a human being. But here's
(13:24):
the thing that we need to understand. And the conservative
movement is getting split apart. A lot of people are
parting ways. We're seeing a great divide. And let me
tell you another thing that we need to be concerned about.
The technology that's coming our way. Bill Gates Elon Musk
are the principal people that we need to keep an
(13:45):
eye on.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Right now. Google is doing the.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Eyeglasses and they're trying to get us away from the phone.
They say that in a couple of years the phone
used will be obsolete. That will be using eyeglasses is
to communicate, to see information. And then there's Bill Gates
has suggested that he has a way of having a
tattoo and that electronic tattoo that will stick to your
(14:12):
skin and you'll be able to use it as a
phone and as a source of information. And then Elon Musk,
and this is this is the first prize I will
give to this. Elon Musk is thinking about inserting a
device in your mind so that you'll have the answer
to everything. And that is fulfilling revelation about the mark
(14:33):
of the beasts, putting it in the forehead and put it
in putting it in your hand. And let me tell you,
they're going to try to package this, package this in
such a way that a lot of people are going
to be deceived. A lot of people are going to
be deceived. Let me tell you when nine eleven half
in a couple of years ago, with the World Trade Center, uh,
(14:53):
there was concern about finding the bodies of the Day
of the Dead people. Well, I heard a popular conservative
talk show hosts. I'm not gonna mention his name, but
I admire him. I actually admire him. But he said
something that was way off, and he claims to be
born again. He says, why don't we put a device
in people's bodies so that when things like this happen,
(15:16):
we could find them and we could find their burial
sites where they're buried if an explosion happens at a building.
And he will say he was reasoning that with the
World Trade Center, had people had devices and certain their bodies,
they would have been able to find the bodies because
there were some bodies that were unaccounted for. Well, let
me tell you. The enemy will try to put circumstances
(15:40):
and good things. But let me tell you, do not
fall for this illusion, for this delusion of having a
chip in your hand and a chip in your forehead,
Because let me tell you, the Bible strictly tells us.
It tells us that those who do their names are
not in the Book of Life. In fact, this it
(16:01):
says it. Let's let's look at Revelation. I'm gonna look
at Revelation, amen. And let me tell you you want
to make sure that your name is in the Book
of Life, Amen, because Jesus is real.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Amen. Well, let's look at it here in Revelation thirteen eight.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
And all that all upon the earth shall worship him
whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
Of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,
whose name are not written in the Book of Life,
And why are they not written? Let's look at Revelation
three five. He that overcometh the same shall be cloth
and white, Raymond, And I will not blot out his
(16:48):
name out of the Book of Life. But I will
confess his name before my father and before his angels.
One of the things that we need to understand, my
brothers and sisters, is that a lot of people believe
good people, wonderful Christians, believe that once saved, always saved.
But let me tell you this Revelation chapter three, verse
(17:10):
five put some monkey wrench in all this because it
says I will not blot out his name out of
the Book of life. Do you know that your name
can be blotted out of the book of life? And
if you take that mark, your name will be blotted
out of the book of life.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know I heard of and I'm not going to
name this minister either.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But he's very, very popular.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
He's spoken against the prosperity movement and the faith movement,
and people revere him as a high authority. He said
himself that people who take the mark will be saved.
That's falling under strong delusion. My brothers and sisters, do
not fall for strong delusions. Let me tell you, learn
(17:56):
to be discerning. Even good people can lead other people
a stray. Look at we were talking. We were having
a study about uh, the unknown prophet, and how this
old prophet came and and and and they probably was
a seasoned prophet, and he came and told them a lie.
He told them a prophecy that was a lie, and
(18:16):
it caused the life of this unknown uh prophet. And
let me tell you, you want to be discerning the
voices that you hear.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You want to make.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Sure that you hear the right voice. Okay, So you
ask the Holy Spirit for discernment.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And also pray for our leaders.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You know, if you don't like Donald Trump, I understand
to each his own, but pray for Donald Trump. I
pray for Biden, I pray for Obama, and I pray
for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
They need our prayers.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Let me tell you, when you pray for them, things
start to happen and God starts to open doors. So
learn to pray for our leaders. Because I believe that
Jesus is coming soon. And I know that either my
brothers and some brothers and the Lord who I love
and I respect. They challenge me on this thing about
(19:07):
the rapture, and they send me some things about that
the rapture is gonna happen. That is not gonna I'm
sorry that the rapture is not gonna happen. That the
Body of Christ has to go to tribulation. But let
me tell you, I've seen so many scriptures that is
that supports the teaching of the rapture. I believe that
the body of Christ is going to be raptured. And
(19:29):
the reason why is because the Bible left us with
a command occupy till I come. We are an occupying force.
We can pull back the winds of war. We could
pull back all these things that are set against us.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And yes, they're gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
A lot of stuff that is gonna happen is gonna happen,
destructure is gonna happen. But we could push it back.
We could push it back, just like in Jonah's time,
when Jonahs was preaching to the Nittabites, they repented, judgment
was put back. It was pushed back one hundred, one
hundred and fifty years. And let me tell you, we
could do the same.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
But that doesn't mean that we need to slack off.
We need to be vigilant because the Lord could come
at any time, at any moment. So fear not, my
brothers and sisters. God's got your back. God has given
you the Holy Spirit. Do not be deceived with the
mark of the beasts. Let nobody tell you how great
it is. Let me tell you, because they're gonna package
(20:28):
it to such a degree that people will start accepting it.
And at first it's gonna be it's not mandatory. It's
gonna say, oh, it's not mandatory. You could choose to
have it or not have it. It's gonna start that way,
But then it's gonna start being mandatory to where you're
gonna have to make a decision. Are you gonna take
the mark or are you gonna Oh, you're gonna stand
(20:50):
for Christ.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Amen. So that's something you need to think about.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And I believe that we'll be gone, will be gone
by the time the Beast makes his appearance on the
earth and forces us to take the mark. I really
believe that with all my heart. But should God forbid,
should be we stay because the Lord is coming in
the mid trip or maybe even after the tribulation, then
(21:14):
we're gonna have to have to do a stand, make
make a stand for righteousness and believe God for the
grace that covers us. But I really don't believe that
we're gonna be here. Uh, the true Christians are not
going to be here. I believe that we're going to
be raptured because Scriptures says that the identity of the
beast will be shown after the rapture. It's all there
(21:37):
in the Bible. My brothers and sisters, be encouraged. Jesus
is coming soon. If you have not given your life
to the Lord, today is your day. God wants to
give you a new beginning. So I want you to
say this with all your hearts. Say, Lord, Jesus, I
am a sinner. Come into my heart. Make me a
(22:00):
new creation. Your death, burial, and resurrection have now become minds. Lord,
thank you for forgiving me of my sins. Thank you
for watching me and making me whole. I will follow
you all the days of my life. I thank you
for being born again in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Now raise up your arms and thank the Lord. You
have just begun a new page in history, and God
is going to start to bless you. Now. I'm not
saying that everything's gonna be a bet of roses. I'm
not gonna promise you a rose garden. And yes, maybe
maybe I can promise you a rose garden, because roses
have thorns. And yes, you may be go into problems,
(22:44):
sometimes they may get even worse. But you have something
that nobody that that's in your hands. Something that's valuable,
and that's the Word of God. The Word of God
has the answer to all your problems. And when you
get to seek the Lord with all your heart, and
when you have that revelation knowledge, God will open the
world of God in such a way that you have
(23:05):
the answer and you'll have victory, and all your tun
testing and all your tribulation, you'll be walking from victory
to victory to victory, because that's.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Who you are. You are more than a conqueror. Amen.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
So praise the Lord. I hope that have encouraged you
with this message. Fear not, fear not what's coming in
in the future, because God has got your back. God
has given his Holy Spirit. And if you have confessed Jesus,
you are embarton a new vacation, a new destiny.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Amen. Praise God. A new beginning.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Awaits you, and I'm excited for you, especially if you
have confessed Jesus as.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Your Lord and savior. So this is calyb Santo saying
bye bye for now.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Thank you for joining us. We pray that you are
blessed with our worship and biblical teaching. Join us again
for a time of Bible study. God bless greetings, it's
(24:25):
a Christian
