Time Travelers - Part 2

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried
about with various and strange doctrines. - Hebrews 13:8-9.

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so
your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he
who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you
receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different
gospel which you have not accepted - you may well put up with it! - 2
Corinthians 11:3-4.

Yesterday, I shared with you the 1928 Charlie Chaplin silent film clip that
appears to show an older woman talking on a cell phone. There are many
reasonable explanations for what is seen; including, that the woman is
simply shielding her face from the sun with something. With our modern
mindsets we immediately jump to the conclusion that it looks like a
cellphone. Here is the link to the youtube video again:

What if, the leaders of our country suddenly appeared on TV with someone who
claimed to be a time traveler from the future? Would we believe it? What if,
someone appears on the world stage claiming to be an alien from another
planet with advanced technology demanding that we worship and obey them?
Would we believe it and do it? Here are a few things that some people say
they believe:

>Extra Terrestrial powers are observing our planet and they will intervene
>in 2012 and save us from self-destruction.

>Jose Arguelles, the founder of Earth Day in 1970, "feels" that we are
>traveling through a Galactic Synchronization Beam which we entered in 3114
>B.C. and will leave in 2012.

>Some believe that the Galactic Synchronization Beam will affect our DNA,
>zapping it, and we will be born again.

>Believers in the Galactic Synchronization Beam of 2012 teach that everyone
>goes to heaven because there is no sin, only a failure of synchronicity
>with your higher self.

The crazy things that people will believe; could, and have filled up volumes
of books. Do we believe in something just because someone "feels" we are
going through some kind of beam? Do we believe in something just because
someone thinks it would be great if the cosmos were to operate according to
the rules that they happen to dream up?

When anyone claims they have heard some magnificent new truth from a time
traveler, or an alien, or in a dream, or that they just feel this to be
true - BEWARE! We do not need a new truth, or a new feeling, or a better
synchronicity. We have the Word of God. Jesus says this, "Do not think that
I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to
fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one
jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled
(Matthew 5:17-18)." Jesus is the Word of God become flesh (John 1:14) and He
is unchanging (Hebrews 13:8).

When they tell you their lies and attempt to deceive you; open up the Word
of God, and share the unchanging truth. The truth of the Word of God will
overcome as the Bible says in Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My word be that goes
forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish
what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." The
Word of God will win the battle because, ".the word of God is living and
powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the
division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12)."

We must remember that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and
forever." His Word does not lie, it does not change, and He (The Word become
flesh - John 1:14) will win the final and eternal victory.

Many prayer needs are posted at the Burning Bush website on the Prayer
Request page. You can also post your prayer requests there and they will be
forwarded to the Burning Bush Prayer Group (Of course, I am always in need
of prayer - please pray for me.).

If you are not my friend on facebook or myspace you can be, just add me. The
devotionals are posted in my blogs on those two social networks and you can
leave comments, feedback about them there. There are other social networks
designed just for Christians, however, this is an outreach project to reach
those who may not know the Lord or may have wandered away. You can help me
reach out to them.
