End Times Deception:

  This word came to me and I'm posting it just as it came to me this morning. The words are not mine so, if you have a problem with them, I would suggest you pray about it with an open heart and mind.

  "I am He that was dead and now lives and will live for ever more. I am the Alpha and Omega: the beginning and the end. To My children write these words.

  My enemy is deceiving many with false words and false signs. He is sending forth his minions as angels of light, speaking half truths and lies that My children should recognize, but they do not. Words that do not ring true in the light of My written Word and yet, there are those among you that believe the lie. I have warned you in My Word that this day would come, that these false angels would be able to perform wonders and false miracles and yet, there are those who believe these things.

  Do you not know that any angel that brings a message that is contrary to My written Word, that is not fully in agreement with what I and my prophets have left for you, is a lie and should not be heeded? Do you not know that a half truth is still a lie. My servant David wrote that he had hidden My words in his heart that he might not sin against Me. Read My Scriptures, hide them in your hearts that you might know what is true and what is not.

  I have sent My messengers to warn you of these false words and deeds; I have sent my ministers, prophets and messengers to warn you when you start to go astray and yet, you heed them not because of your pride and vanity. You believe that since you received these words from what you perceive to be an angel of the Lord that they are right, even when they contradict what is in My Scriptures. When my messengers, ministers and prophets warn you of this sin, heed their words and seek My face in prayer and fasting. Purge yourself and repent of your pride, your vanity and submit yourself unto Me and unto those I send to warn you.

  I am the Christ, the Son of the Living God and I am calling to you My children. Beware of that Jezebel spirit of deception that is in My church. That Jezebel spirit that causes My children to fall into sexual immorality and into deeper deception before it pulls you, My beloved children, into so deep that you will no longer hear the warning of my servants.

  Heed the words of this warning so that you will be saved and will be in My perfect will, and able to hear My true voice. Repent for My time to come is at hand. Repent so that you will not be left to face My Father's indignation yet to come."

Knowledge

  "Didn't my Son warn you that you should let no man deceive you? (Matthew 24:4) Have I not told you to judge all things by My Word and not your heart? ( Isaiah 28:10) Why then do you run to and fro listening to false prophets who tickle your ears with words that you want to hear, rather than listen to the truth from those who are truly anointed? ( 2 Timothy 4:2-4)

  In these last days there are people claiming to be hearing from Me who are not. They speak words that give you temporary comfort, that calm your conscience yet do nothing for your soul. They give you words that make you comfortable in your sin, yet they do not cause you to seek My face in genuine repentance.

  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) that comes only from My Scriptures and only from spending time with Me in prayer and worship. You, My precious children, are being led astray by those who seek only to be well known, who seek after the praise of men and who have rejected My ways. You search after those who write books, who speak great swelling words and those who seem to you to be holy, but whose souls are like white washed tombs containing the bones of those who are dead. You seek after that which makes you feel good within yourselves, yet they do not cause you to seek My face.

  Thus says the Lord, seek Me and I will show you My ways. Seek Me in prayer and true worship and I will lead you in the paths that you need to walk. Seek out My ways through the study of My Scriptures and lean not to your own understanding for your ways are not My ways.

  Weigh what you hear with the Scriptures and with nothing else. There are many who call themselves prophets, whose only goal is that their name will be glorified among men. They seek the praises of men and the honors that man can bestow and yet, they know Me not. These are those which shall stand before My Son and will hear the words "depart from Me for I never knew you" ( Matthew 7:23). These are those that will be weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth from the Lake of Fire for they would not submit to My words and would not hear Me when I spoke to them.

  Hear Me and you shall live. Study My Scriptures ( 2 Timothy 2:15), study the words of My prophets, the words of the Apostles and the words of My Son, for in them you will find life, security, salvation and you will discover the knowledge and truth of My ways. I have spoken to some of you and you have not listened... listen to My voice for I will tell you great things and things you need to know before the time of the end of the age has been fulfilled. Hear the words of the Lord your God."

  There's an old saying that I have come to love... "If your Bible is torn apart, your life isn't." We would all do good to weigh what we hear against the truth that comes from God's precious Word. Rather than take what any preacher, teacher or so-called prophet has to say, we should all dig into the Bible and make sure they are speaking truth. We all should be spending a lot more time in the Bible for ourselves, rather than depend on someone else to tell us what it says.

  Be careful who you listen to and in all cases, check the Word of God for yourself just to be sure. We all have one chance to make Heaven our home, one opportunity to repent before we meet the Father face to face: don't wast yours, please.

Your brother in Christ,

Dave

Words

  The Bible teaches us that the power of life and death are in the tongue. The words we speak are power, they're creative, but they can also be death. Every time we open our mouths and speak, or even write, these words have an abundance of power that we cannot comprehend: they're often the driving force behind life itself.

  We must guard and be careful of the words we speak to one another because they could be the words that that heal a heart, or drive someone over the edge. We have to guard what we say and how we say because we will be held accountable for every word we utter and, they way in which we uttered them.

  Several years ago my dad preached a sermon in which he brought out an interesting point. Scientist discovered that our words are floating out in space. Radio transmissions of a speech Adolf Hitler made in 1939 were discovered using a special listening device, in space. This wouldn't have been so special, except that they were found thirty years after his death.

  We must also consider that our actions, the words we say to people will affect them for the rest of their lives. When you tell someone that you love them, then you re-enforce those words with actions indicating your love, you had better be sure that those words are true. You can't tell someone one day that you love them, show that love with acts of affection and then the next day tell them that you were lonely and they just happened to be handy. To do this is like murder. You're killing their emotions, killing their heart and this could take them years to overcome.

  Folks, the words we use, the acts we do must be based on truth. Our words and actions must be rooted and grounded in truth, in God's eternal love and must mean something. We have to be sure that we speak to people in love, that we act toward people in love and that we are mindful of the simple fact: every word we utter is a seed and every word we utter... one day we will stand before God to give account of. We'll also be required to account for the reaction those words had on people.

  One last point, the Jewish sages believe that words are creative and every time we speak we're creating things. Don't forget, God created the heavens and the earth with His words. We're His children and the words we speak create just as His do. What we create, is just as important as what He created,

Chosen Generation

  At 12:10 AM on Sunday, June 25, 2011 the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me to write this Prophetic House Call message. As most of you know, I don’t write anything that I am not one-hundred percent sure, that the Lord gave it to me. This is very much in line with other things He’s given me over the last few months and I feel that it is a wakeup call to the church and Christians everywhere.

  This is what the Lord gave me to send out to you who read this blog and, it will be put out on my radio broadcast as well.

  “Speak these words to My people and warn those who are lukewarm and those who don’t believe My Son will come again. Warn and comfort with these words and speak to them with compassion and love.

  This is what the Lord God has to say to all those who will hear. The time of My Son’s coming is closer than many of you believe. Look around you at what is happening in the world. Do you not see the television news; do you not see what is happening all around you? Can you not see the fulfillment of My prophet’s words coming to pass before your eyes? No other generation has ever seen what you are seeing and yet, you sit there and ask Me for a sign? Look around you and read the words of My prophets and you will have no need for any further sign. You are the Chosen Generation!

  It is recorded in My Scriptures that when you see all these signs in a single generation, that that generation will be the generation to see the return of My Son. My beloved Israel is now a nation once more; My holy city of Jerusalem is once more the capital of My nation; the children of Israel that have been scattered among the Gentile nations are making their way to the land of their fathers; the land of Israel, which was once desolate and barren is now flourishing and sending her bounty around the world and the nations of the world are once again plotting to destroy her.

  Look at what the Scriptures have said and see that they are coming to pass in your generation! Look at what My prophets foretold and then see that these things are coming to pass in your generation. This generation is the most blessed generation since the days when My Son walked among you. This generation will be the generation that will see the gathering together of the saints, the tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ to this earth. Look around you and see. Are you blind? Are you deaf? Have you hardened your heart so much that you cannot see what is plain before your eyes? Have you allowed yourself to be drawn into another gospel so deep that you cannot be reached with the truth of My Word?

  Look before you and see what is to come next. Look to the city of Damascus and know that soon it will be no more. See how the heathen is gathering as though they were going to war against My beloved, the apple of My eye, Israel is her name and she is my betrothed. See how that Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and Babylon are coming together as a mighty army. Look to the land of Rosh and see how they have made allegiance with the enemies of your God. See how the waves are roaring, the earth is shaking and the powers of the deep are churning. See that all I have spoken of is now coming to pass in your generation just as My Scriptures have said it would.

  Open your eyes and see, open your ears and hear what is being said by My prophets in your own day. O you who are lukewarm, you who have strayed from the truth of My Gospel and have turned your hearts to lies and deception. Come back to Me now before you are left behind. Set aside your petty differences, your theological disputes and those things that divide My church. Set aside vain debate and pointing of fingers against My ministers, My prophets and those sent in My name to teach you and warn you. Come together as My children in love for one another.

  I am the Lord your God and I am sending My servants forth to warn you and to prepare you. You are the chosen generation that will see the return of Jesus the Messiah. You are the chosen generation that was spoken of from long ago. There is no stopping this, there is no delaying this: you are the chosen generation! Come to Me while you still can and repent of your whoring, you’re trusting in another gospel and your idols. Do not wait for the tribulation to come for many of you will not be strong enough to endure that time. Turn back to Me now, for I am waiting with open arms to receive you again to Myself.

  These are the words of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, Creator of heaven and earth. Hear My words and live.”

  More on this word from God will be discussed on my radio broadcast this coming week. You can keep up with when I will be speaking on this subject at www.blogtalkradio.com/christiannewsreview or www.davelillardministries.org

  God bless you and keep you,

Dave

Releasing The Latter Rain

  At 5:30 this evening, the Lord spoke to me and gave me this word. For some it will cause great rejoicing, for others a point of contention. These words are not my own, they came from the Throne of God and I pray that you will receive them.

   "The time has come, the Scriptures are fulfilled: as I said in My Word, the latter rain shall be great than the former, and those whom I have prepared, those who trust in Me, shall now see My hands at work.

  I am releasing now the latter rain of My Spirit on the whole world. The words of My prophet Joel (Joel chapter 2) shall come to pass in these last days. Your sons and daughters shall be saved and you will see many come to believe and trust in My Son.

  As I released My Spirit on all whose who will receive, I will also begin my judgment on those who come against My people, Israel. I will also judge those who have shed innocent blood and those who have blasphemed My holy name.

  My children will I bless and protect; those who worship Me will I cover until the day when I shall send My Son to gather them from the four corners of the earth.

  Put your faith and trust in Me, for I am the Lord God, your Father."

  Again, these are not my words, they're His words. Search the Scriptures for yourself and you will know, God is about to exp load His Spirit on this world one last time and then, those who believe and trust in Him will be going home.

Believe, Expect and Love

  I was in a bit of a quandary today. I was moments away from my Internet radio broadcast going live and I didn't have a thing to say. I had not heard from the Lord on what I was to talk about, what songs I was to play or anything else. In the past when this has happened, the Lord would often simply tell me to do a music program so, I was preparing to do that. As the clock was ticking down the final ten minutes or so, I heard that still small voice.

  My best friend gave me a Bible called "The Scriptures." I highly recommend this version of the Bible to anyone who is a serious student of the Word. This Bible is always close at hand and the Lord told me to look up 1 Corinthians 13:11-13. For many people, this is a very familiar passage, ofter called the "love passage." As I read this passage for the first time in this version, the eyes of my understanding were opened as I read the 13th verse.

  " And now belief, expectation, and love remain - these three. But the greatest of these is love."

    As I read that verse, the faith walk became so clear to me. For years I've struggled with the faith teaching and how to exercise the faith that God has placed in my being. Like so many others, I've heard a lot of faith teachers teach, but could never quite put all the pieces together in a way that made complete sense to me: those days are now OVER.

  Jesus died on the Cross to seal God's complete and total COVENANT for you and me. By doing so, Christ Jesus became the Lamb that bought back our dominion on this earth and sealed the promises of God for all those who believe in God and are Christians.

  There are a lot of people who believe there is a God, but many who don't believe IN God. Rather than just believe there is a God, we have to believe IN God. We have to look at what His Word says and take it for what it says. We have to place our trust in the fact that God will do what His Word says He will do. If you and I will step out in faith and do our part, then God is bound by His covenant, His blood covenant to do what He said He will do. We just have to believe in what He said and, believe it in our hearts.

  Next, we have to set aside the doubt and the fear, set aside the words of those who are stuck in religion and stuck in disbelief and begin to expect God to answer our prayers and petitions. We need to make our requests known, then we need to run out into the front yard and start looking down the street expecting the answer to show up. If you're praying for lost loved ones to be saved, plant your prayer and love gift to God, then start expecting that the phone will ring any moment with the news that they got saved. If your need is physical, financial, spiritual or whatever; you've got to put your faith in gear and expect God to do what He said He would do and answer your prayer.

  Lastly, we've got to love as God loves. We've got to stop talking about people, stop criticizing people and love them. We've got to stop looking down our religious noses at the lost and look at them with eyes of compassion and great love. We've got to pray for those who don't treat us right and just love them any way. When someone comes into our churches who isn't dress right or who isn't as clean as we think they should be; don't shun them in favor of someone who is dressed better or looks cleaner. We've got to go to that person and welcome them and show them the same love and respect that Jesus would show them if He were in the room.

  Let me say something that may shock some who read this. If you'll run up to a person wearing expensive clothes, a Rolex watch and driving a fine ride, but you won't turn around in your pew to offer your hand to that person who is dressed in rags or hasn't bathed, you are sinning. You're showing favoritism to rich person and rejecting the poor person. You could be rejecting a soul in need of someone to show them the way to the Lord, a soul seeking a place where they will be loved and led to the feet of Jesus. Who knows, you could rejecting an angel sent from God to test your congregation to see if they're worthy of a spiritual promotion.

  Friends, it's time we took this verse to heart and believe, expect and love more than we ever have before. It's time that we do the Word, and not just read it.

  I love you all and thanks for taking time to read this message. I hope God will use it to bless you.

Americas Warning

Warning To America – 6/2/2011
  This word came to me from the Lord this morning. It is a very serious warning to America, to the Christians of America and especially to those who don’t believe that God is about to begin pouring out His righteous indignation upon a people who have turned from Him, from His righteousness and have began chasing after idols, immorality and after things that are not of God.
  “Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of America: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Ah sinful America, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of America, the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”
  Dear friends, this nation has turned its back on the very One who blessed this nation and made it the greatest nation in modern history. There was once a time when nearly every American had, at the very least, a basic knowledge of the Bible, prayed daily and this nation, as a whole, believed in morality and justice. There was once a time when respect was given to ministers of the Gospel because they did not participate in the sins of this world, they wouldn’t and couldn’t be partakers of the things of this world because they stayed prayed up and walked in fear of the Lord.
  This nation has turned its back on the God that made it great. Even the Christians of this nation have become lazy and no longer seek after the things of God. There was a time when the Christians of this nation would raise the roof when they injustice, when they saw the rights that brave men and women died to protect being violated. Ladies and gentlemen, there was a time when the Christians of this land would’ve run the very people now in control out of town on a rail: but those days seem to have passed.
  God is very displeased with His children who sit in judgment of those who dare to preach and teach the Word of God in its fullness and truth. Rather than flocking to hear a man or woman of God deliver a message, we’d rather sit at home and cheer on our favorite sports team and leave the house of God unattended. We’ll plop down $500 to buy a ticket to see the Super Bowl, but when the pastor stands and asks for help to meet the expenses of the church, we’re only willing to lay out a couple bucks because we don’t feel like we can afford much.
  Rather than pray for immoral businesses to close in our cities, we do nothing to stop them from opening. Rather than condemn judges who claim it’s illegal or unconstitutional to have prayer at a graduation, we sit idle and allow these judicial dictators to abandon the Constitution in favor of the small minority of atheist and agnostics who seemingly are getting their way at nearly every turn.
  We have a president who is illegitimate, who is doing all he can to alienate the Israelis and is trying to force them to give up land that their people bled and died to recover. He’s actually suggesting that the people of Israel give up a portion of their nation’s capital to a people who have sworn to kill as many Jews as they can and a people who refuse to recognize the Jewish state at all. Obama wants to force Israel to give up land that they have owned for thousands of years to a people who care nothing about the land.
  This nation is going downhill quickly. We have an entire generation of young people who know nothing about God, nothing the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and care nothing about the things of God. We have a nation full of graduates who can’t fill out a job application or even communicate on a level exceeding the fifth grade. Our youth have no morals, no biblical knowledge, no humanity and they care only about themselves. They’ve been fed a diet of historical lies by liberals who only want to take over this country and turn it into a socialist country where the citizens are totally dependent on the government for everything.
  I don’t believe that this nation, this once proud and godly nation can be saved. I believe that the prophetic clock is now at a place where America is nearing the time when she will fall to the New World Order and be placed into the hands of sinful men, but there is a glimmer of hope. I believe that if the true Christians of this nation, the ones who love God, love His Word and know how to pray, I believe if these people will stand together, we can win a few thousand souls before our voice is silenced.
  I’m begging you people, get that Bible out and read it; fall down on your knees and pray for God’s mercy to be extended to this nation one more time. I believe that we, the Christians of America, must pray for national forgiveness and ask God to send a Holy Ghost revival that will heal our churches, heal the brokenness of denominationalism and will cause us to forgive each other and to rally around the Cross of Christ as brothers and sisters, not as this group or that group: if we’ll do that, we can see one more moving of God’s Spirit on this country and then, we’ll be out of here.
  We need to put out the false prophets and false teachers from our churches. We need to clean the adulterers from our pulpits, remove the homosexual from our pulpits and leadership positions in the church and purge our ranks of those who refuse to preach truth. We need to return to God, so He will be able to save our loved ones, our children and unite us into what He always wanted – THE CHURCH.
  2 Chronicles 7:14 needs to be a Scripture that is burned on our hearts and prayed every single day. Let us humble ourselves, pray and seek God’s face so that He can heal our land once more.
  By the way, the word the Lord gave me, after He gave it to me I learned that it came from Hosea 4:1-2. He personalized it and gave it to me for America. HEY, America, are you listening? You’d better
