Peter's House

'If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.' Isa 7:9 'Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when
the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then,
with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with
the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.' Eph 6:13-15
Consider this, IF the Church, acting in the fullness of God's Word (not on man's interpretation thereof) was in obedience to
the fullness of God's Word, would any of the problems facing the Church - the homosexual agenda; abortions on demand
nation-wide; the attempted removal of Christian activities and wordings out of government and it's origin; the powerlessness
of the Church in miracles, signs, and wonders; the 'missing ingredient' of the Holy Spirit in the Church, in it's teachings,
and in it's functions - be flourishing?

Because these problems seem to be flourishing, rather than being in check, one can only surmise that the preaching/teaching
of God's Word and the interpretation of God's Word is in man's domain, rather than God's. "'Wake up! Strengthen what
remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you
have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what
time I will come to you. Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed
in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the
book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
says to the churches.' 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So,
because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired
wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to
buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful
nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and
repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with
him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down
with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." Rev 3:2-6 & 15-22
Only preaching/teaching contrary to the Word of God can allow these inconsistancies to continue to exist in our Churches,
but the Word of God states, 'If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.' Isa 7:9, that indicates to me, that
IF the Church would STAND IT'S GROUND on issues of abortion, homosexuality, teaching on miracles, wonders and signs,
and about the Holy Spirit, we as a nation of believers, would not be having these issues facing us.

God is against abortion, taking the life of the innocent, His Word backs this up! 'They have built the high places of Topheth
in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire--something I did not command, nor did it enter my
mind.' Jer 7:31 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in
your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,
therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will
gather them against you from all around and will strip you in front of them, and they will see all your nakedness.' Exe 16:36-37
We have killed more babies in the United States of America, than Hitler's killing of Jews during World War II.

God is against homosexuality, 'Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the
greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.' 1 Cor 6:9-10, or how about 'The acts of the
sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits
of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that
those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.' Gal 5:19-21 The best answer to this topic is, 'Then God said, "Let
us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 'So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase
in number; fill the earth and subdue it."' Gen 1:26-28, and 'What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you
care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him
ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds
of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.' Ps 8:4-8

God is against 'Political Correctness' and the removal of His presence in our history, "Woe to you experts in the law, because
you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering."
Luke 11: 52 Our books of education, our schools of education have all fallen subject to a media's cry to remove God from any
existence with any connection of establishing the United States of America. Bibliographies of the great leaders, the 'Founding
Fathers', or other historical figures have been literally erased of any reference to their Biblical beliefs. As far as to what the
Bible says, the Truth has been water-down, and instead of Bible teaching in His house, speakers speak of nothing, because you
are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I have come to believe, that if we are teaching a
subject 'that can't be controlled' or that's out of our control, such as about the Holy Spirit; then we will manipulate the
discussion to the point that we can control it.

God is not pleased with our lack of education about Him, His Triune personage and attributes, and the lack of fire in His
Church, 'Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen!
Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.'
Rev 2:4-5 'Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught
Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality. Likewise you also
have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.' Rev 2:14-16 How is it that you'll teach of other gods, but will not instruct of the Holy
Spirit, who is our teacher? 'Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a
prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have
given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those
who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.' Rev 2:20-22 'Wake up! Strengthen what remains
and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have
received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time
I will come to you.' Rev 3:2-3 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So,
because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired
wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.' Rev 3:15-17

You perverse generation, "'Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other
gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, "We are
safe"--safe to do all these detestable things?' Jer 7: 9-10 If so, 'This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the
LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy
shame may appear. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on
the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O America! wilt thou not be made clean?' Jer 13:25-27

Generally, my messages are aimed at the leadership of the Church or flock (because as the leaders go, so does the flock), but
this message is valid to all listening or reading. 'Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount
Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come! Go to Calneh and look at it; go from
there to great Hamath, and then go down to Gath in Philistia. Are they better off than your two kingdoms? Is their land larger
than yours? You put off the evil day and bring near a reign of terror. You lie on beds inlaid with ivory and lounge on your
couches. You dine on choice lambs and fattened calves. You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical
instruments. You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph. Therefore
you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end.' Amos 6:1-7

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the
outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to
people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." "Woe to you, teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, 'If we had
lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' So you
testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the
sin of your forefathers!" "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" Matt 23:27-33

"'Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the
sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent."
