What if you woke up tomorrow and America had fallen? What if you turned on the news and every network was broadcasting how a coup had overthrown our government? Or if the government had declared martial law. What if you were suddenly to have no freedom and every intention you had was monitored by the government and you couldn’t do anything without their permission? If you went anywhere, you had to pass through military blockades and give a convincing reason as to where you were going and what you planned on doing once you got there Americans, especially most Christians, are like the frog in the pot of water slowly heating to a boil. Unaware until it’s too late that the trojan horse has already been here for a long time! If this were to happen, could you truthfully seek the Lord in prayer and be confident He would answer you? I can Suddenly all the smoke and mirrors you thought you were fooling everyone around you with about being a Christian are gone. Because you know God saw right through it but there were no consequences seemingly What if shortly after that you got a knock on

your door with 6 armed soldiers there to search your house to confiscate any weapons and bibles

Informing you that resistance could mean instant jail time and or being shot right on the spot? Remember, those who commit treason don’t broadcast their plans until they put them into motion.

If you don’t know your bible well, then you should search the scriptures. Because God’s Word teaches us if you ignore Him in the good times, He won’t hear your prayers in the bad times God is a killer His grace and mercy and all of his other benefits are to bless you to serve him better and do His will. Not to abuse for your own sinful ways God’s grace, undeserved favor, is not like the hippies love of the 1960’s generation It is to cover your unwilful mistakes you make while learning how to serve Him and do His will Not a license for you to live like hell and still claim His name. The fear of God teaches us that He created free will so that we could choose life or death And when we

don’t strive to live in obedience to His commandments, we choose death, hell and the lake of fire

The exhortation here is that you better quit trying to convince everyone else around you and start seeking God to make sure that what you say you have, He confirms it to you! And, God forbid, if you know you are backslid, repent and seek Him until He answers you!

I’ve told you several times that people should be able to determine you are a Christian without you opening your mouth. At the very least, they should sense something different/peculiar about you even if they don’t understand what it is Almighty God is fed up with the hypocrites! 1Peter 2:9

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”

My former pastor, Brother Lee Sharp, was a true prophet of God. He prophesied many years ago that the trojan horse was already in this country I will put you in remembrance that the powers that be who have been working diligently for years to destroy this country do so with the utmost secrecy! They never reveal their agenda to anyone except those who are working with them And only the parts those individuals need to know Anyone who tries to expose their plans, they either kill or use the mainstream media to black ball them Ironically, that is the same ones who labeled anyone who tries to reveal their plans "conspiracy theorists" I assure you my friend it is not a theory at all It's reality!

Proverbs 22:3

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished

Christians: Do you know without a doubt that God is first in your life? If you have any doubt whatsoever, you need to repent and seek Him until you are sure.

You Prove to God!

It’s time for you to prove to God what you say or think you have as far as a relationship with Him goes. If there was a theme to this September 2024 issue, it would be “make sure you are right with God in a way proven by Him” What you try to convince those around you of matters not at all unless you are actually living what you speak God sees through hypocrisy completely Many modern day Christians want all the benefits of being a Christian without any of the sacrifice They want to do and say and act like rank sinners and still claim His name Friend if that were the case and being a Christian were that easy, you might as well throw your bible in the garbage. One of the biggest reasons why Christians feel this way is because of all the worldly preachers spewing lies The bottom line though

is you are as responsible to prove by the word of God that what is preached is the truth as much as the preacher you are listening to I expect you to do that with everything you read in Heartbeat Christian News; no exceptions! The Lord has impressed strongly in my spirit this issue to warn you to do all you can to make sure you are right with Him No one’s opinion of your walk with God matters at all in the end. Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” I cannot stress enough how strict God’s standard is. He commands us to be holy, separate, a peculiar people To touch not, taste not and handle not the unclean thing Which is all the sinful vices of worldly people God Almighty didn’t deliver me from drinking,

cussing and smoking miraculously only to say it was ok for you to do it If you have any doubts about any thing in your life that are questionable, you better be seeking God diligently in prayer to show you. And if you feel convicted, pray for deliverance If you pray for deliverance and are still struggling, seek out a preacher of God who can touch Him on your behalf like they did all throughout the New Testament! The time is short to get right with God and many have already been turned over to a reprobate mind and don’t even realize it

Proverbs 29:1

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy

God does NOT accept excuses for disobedience!

1Corinthians 3:13

“Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.” There is coming a day soon when Christians will seek out a true man of God. A day when the false preachers will be exposed for all the lies they have been deceiving God’s people with and the anger of these same Christians will be extreme It is the Lord Himself Who is going to bring His people together in the last days with one great and final revival.

With that being said and remembering that God’s preachers are ordained by Him to guide His people, warn them of their transgressions and to be shepherds to His flock, Christians will begin to seek out preachers of the truth. Preachers who strive to live separate from the world and who are more afraid of God than any man Preachers who will give their lives as martyrs for the cause of Christ before they will deny the truth. Preachers who understand there is a woe on them if they preach not the gospel of God Preachers who suffer constant attacks from the devil even in times of peace because of hypocritical mockers From Satan because he knows that the spiritual understanding of the word of God is given by the Holy Ghost but must be broken by God’s true preachers

I personally am amazed at how many false preachers there are in this country

alone who aren’t afraid to do whatever they want with absolutely no fear of God. I am afraid of God my friend. God is a killer And His Word is full of woes for shepherds who mislead His flock Let me reiterate though that I am not speaking of any specific preachers or I would name names God is the Judge of them I am simply making you aware of what to look for in the few short days ahead 1Corinthians 1:21

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” The reason so many Christians feel they don’t need preachers these days is because of all the false doctrines and the crazy things being propagated in the name of the Lord It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out One thing God programmed in me from the beginning is to preach and do all I can to uphold the strait and narrow standard Even in business, as a manager in fast food, that was my primary goal To do all I could do to make sure the company standards were being followed to the letter. In fact, don’t ever listen to anyone who tries to teach you a difference between traditional and modern day Christianity Because there is no such truth God’s standards do not change ever Times change but the sinful nature of people does not And God’s truth is still the only thing that will deliver them God never ordained a zillion churches

in His kingdom. God never called a preacher who preaches what is sent down from headquarters God never had a preacher in the bible who wrote sermon series God’s true preachers do use notes when preaching but they will always strive to be yielded vessels of Him during the time they are preaching the gospel to anyone I am humbled to say that I am one of God’s true preachers and strictly because of His grace and mercy One way I know is He chastens me more sorely than probably any of you who read this newspaper Still, I’d rather receive His chastening and know I belong to Him than to have all the riches in the world

Jeremiah 23:1‐2

WOE be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD Verses 10‐11

For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

You Just Can't

You can’t just wake up in the morning. You can’t just go to the bathroom. You can’t just eat a meal You can’t just spend time with your children You can’t just go for a walk You can’t just hang out with friends You can’t just go to church You can’t just watch TV You can’t just go shopping. You can’t just drive in your car. You can’t just site see You can’t just go to the gym You can’t just sit in silence sometimes Most of you can’t just do anything you used to do anymore without checking that smartphone.

You live, eat, breathe and function every day glued to that little idol And you think God doesn’t notice The Almighty God Who created you and knows your every thought, the intent of your heart and even what you are going to say before you even say it. The Lord that commanded you to have no other gods before Him Who warned you of this in the following verse Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Some of you, probably most of you, are thinking that there has been no repercussions yet for all this smartphone idolatry but just hold on For every action there is a consequence I can tell you that God didn’t lay it on my heart to write this article for 10 years just

for the fun of it Everything He does is for a purpose and it is for your soul As we wrote in the feature article of the August 2024 issue, God is done winking at all the evil being perpetrated by those who claim to be His people 1Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

The scary part about the idolatry of smartphones is that most Christians to whom they are idols don’t even recognize it and/or won’t admit it But have you forgotten this scripture?

Revelation 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Trust me when I tell you that I would much rather put any other information where Todd’s Techy Tips goes each month One of the hardest parts of being a true preacher of the gospel is warning His people when you know most of them aren’t going to heed it! All of you who read this article and are smartphone idolaters will be without excuse when the judgment of God begins to fall It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!

As I have said before, I’ve never had one reader who has called, texted, emailed or wrote me a letter stating they repented and got rid of their smartphone because of this article Which means we are in a very scary place spiritually in the annals of time Because God’s standards do not and never will change Nor does the judgment He brings against disobedient children. Especially after He sends warning after warning The strongest exhortation I can give any of you reading this is to seek God diligently and make sure He hasn’t turned you over to a reprobate mind. Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”

Proverbs 29:1

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy

Proverbs 10:17

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth

Proverbs 28:14

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
