Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:2 NIV 2011
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. -Eph. 6:12 NIV 2011

The Ishtar Deception

 If you are skippy dippy happily going to church on Easter Sunday, and/or having a special Easter gathering with others, stop and think of what you're doing.  If you profess to be a Christian, then that means you are professing to be a follower of The Truth.  Therefore, attending and participating in anything having to do with Easter Sunday is hypocritical, because it's a LIE.

Jesus is the truth:

"Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;"  -John 14:6

"but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'"  -John 3:21

Easter has NOTHING to do with Christ!  In fact, those who partake in Easter are partaking of the altar of demons:

"Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons; do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?" -1 Corinthians 10:21-22

Easter is the English pronunciation of the word Ishtar.  Ishtar is another name for Ashtoreth.  Therefore, Easter Sunday is actually Ashtoreth Sunday. Ashtoreth/Ashtoroth is also known under other names, such as Artemis, Isis, and Diana.  She is the moon goddess of pagan religions, such as Wicca, and Secret Babylon, just to name a few.  

"yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth."  -Judges 2:13

"And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father. And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth god[dess] of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites; and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father."  -1 Kings 11:4-6

As children of God, we are supposed to be "perfect with Jehovah," and that means  we are to be "fully after Jehovah."  This means forsaking ALL pagan religious holy days - including Easter.

Easter/Ashtoreth used to be served via a eucharistic service, where Ashtoreth was referred to as the queen of the heavens:

"Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!...  The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger. Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?... And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward."  -Jeremiah 7:4,18-19, and 24

The goddess Easter (Ashtoreth) has a symbol.  It is the moon.  Easter Sunday is on a different date each year, because it's on the Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.  It's on a SUNday to honor Baal - the sun god, and horned male deity, and it's called Easter, because it is named after Ishtar/Ashtoreth/Isis/Artemis/Diana, the moon goddess - thus to honor the sun god, it's always on a Sunday, and to honor the moon goddess, it is not only named after her, but also takes place on the first Sunday after the first full moon that takes place after the Spring Equinox.

If you want to celebrate Christ's resurrection, you should do so on Resurrection Day.  We read in the Bible that Christ died on Passover, to be our Passover Lamb.  We read in the Scriptures that He resurrected three days later.  Thus, Resurrection Day is three days after Passover. This year (2021) TODAY (March 30/31) is Resurrection Day, as the third day after Passover began yesterday evening, and ends this evening.

HAPPY RESURRECT DAY, He has risen!

Celebrating Resurrection Day on Easter Sunday is an abomination, and an appearance of evil.  We are not to partake of the table of Christ, and of the table of demons.  We are to abstain from even the appearance of evil:

"all things prove; that which is good hold fast; from all appearance of evil abstain ye;"  -1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

"Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons; do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?" -1 Corinthians 10:21-22

What did God think when the Israelites worshipped a golden calf, in addition to celebrating with a feast unto Him? He destroyed them, because He is a jealous and righteous God.  We are forbidden in both Testaments from adding, partaking in, or mixing in pagan religious days with Christianity.  Yet, that is what Lent, Ash Wednesday, Easter, and even Christmas are. These days, along with others such as Halloween, are an abomination to Jehovah!  The Scriptures are explicitly clear on this.

Even hundreds of years before Christ was born as a human baby, Easter was celebrated on Easter Sunday.  They would gather at a lake shore at sunrise for a sunrise service, in which they'd rape/impregnate virgins on the alter.  Then, they'd take the 3 month old babies from the previous year's rapes, and sacrifice them on the altar.  The children would then run up to the bloodied altar to make Easter eggs (eggs - a pagan fertility symbol) by dying eggs with the spilled blood of the the murdered infants.

Later that day, there would be a feast, usually including ham, as it was believed that their god Baal/Molech/Milcom was killed by a wild boar, but as a supposed god, was later brought back to life. The eating of boar/pig shows a triumph over the boar that killed their god, of whom Ashtoreth/Easter was both the mother and wife of.

Christians are children of God, and are of the Light.  We are not to partake of the darkness, and Easter is a dark and evil day, having nothing to do with Christ.  It's a LIE to believe otherwise. We are to walk in the truth:

"Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'"  -John 8:12

To be partaking in the lie of Easter is to be partaking of the father of lies:

"`Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father."  -John 8:44

As children of God, we are to come out from the lies of the world, the flesh, and the devil.  We are to be separate, and to be lights in this fallen, dark world.  We are to follow the truth.  Come out of the darkness and lies.  Sadly, many "Christian" churches will be partaking of darkness and evil on Easter Sunday. Child of God, don't go, don't partake, and don't be afraid to share the TRUTH, even if that gets you kicked out of your "church."  As children of God, the Scriptures tell us that we are all members of the same church - we are Christ's body on this earth.  

Be sanctified - be separate from the lies.  Don't go to your family's Easter feast, don't go to church on Easter Sunday:

"See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ"  -Colossians 2:8

"and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect."  -Romans 12:2


Build Your Foundation on the Rock of Salvation

"It’s like a person building a house by digging deep and laying the foundation on bedrock. When the flood came, the rising water smashed against that house, but the water couldn’t shake the house because it was well built. 49 But those who don’t put into practice what they hear are like a person who built a house without a foundation. The floodwater smashed against it and it collapsed instantly. It was completely destroyed." -Luke 6:48-49 CEB

"The Lord lives! Bless God, my rock! Let my God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high!" -2 Samuel 22:47 CEB

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32 CEB

"Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6 CEB

The terms "Christian" and "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" have been thrown around so much, that for many people, they have lost their original savor. What is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Is it going to church? Is it being a "good person?" Is it via doing certain rituals, or following certain traditions? No, it is so much simpler than that.

Jesus says:

"Look! I’m standing at the door and knocking. If any hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to be with them, and will have dinner with them, and they will have dinner with me." -Revelation 3:20 CEB

Let Jesus into your heart and life. Put your faith and trust in Him, and in Him alone.

Why did Jesus Christ come to this earth? He came to pay for our sins. Have you ever broken any of the Ten Commandments? Did you know that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount that just looking at someone with lust in your heart is the same thing as committing adultery in your heart?

Many people will say I'm a good person. Sure, I've stolen a few paper clips in my time, and I've told some lies, but I've never killed anyone, so I'm good enough for heaven. Don't be so sure. Have you ever felt hatred toward someone? If so, then you are guilty of committing murder in your heart:

"Everyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that murderers don’t have eternal life residing in them." -1 John 3:15 CEB

If you have stolen, lied, lusted after someone, hated someone, loved someone or something more than God, etc., then you have broken at least 5 of the Ten Commandments. Do you really think you'd make it to heaven? Not according to God's Word:

"Don’t you know that people who are unjust won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Those who are sexually immoral, those who worship false gods, adulterers, both participants in same-sex intercourse, thieves, the greedy, drunks, abusive people, and swindlers won’t inherit God’s kingdom." -1 Corinthians 6:9-10 CEB

But there is good news:

"That is what some of you used to be! But you were washed clean, you were made holy to God, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." -1 Corinthians 6:11 CEB

We are all sinners:

"All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory" -Romans 3:23 CEB

Even Mary, the woman chosen by God to be a vessel that would carry Jesus in her womb, was a sinner, and in need of a Savior:

"In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior." - Mary said this in Luke 1:47 (CEB). Only sinners need a Savior, and Mary also accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior.

We are all imperfect, fallible sinners:

"This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.” If we claim, “We have fellowship with him,” and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully. But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. If we claim, “We don’t have any sin,” we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." -1 John 1:5-8 CEB

The blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses us from all sins. Jesus came to this earth to die to pay for our sins. You see, Leviticus tells us that 'the life is in the blood,' and that it takes spilt blood to atone for sin.

When we choose to truly believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and to live our lives for Christ, then Christ's spilt blood cleanses us from our sins:

"Come now, and let’s settle this, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. If they are red as crimson, they will become like wool." -Isaiah 1:18 CEB

Jesus tells us this:

"God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life. God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him isn’t judged; whoever doesn’t believe in him is already judged, because they don’t believe in the name of God’s only Son." - Jesus said this, in John 3:16-18 (CEB)

Paul gives us a simple "step by step process" on how to be saved:

"Because if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and in your heart you have faith that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Trusting with the heart leads to righteousness, and confessing with the mouth leads to salvation. The scripture says, All who have faith in him won’t be put to shame." -Romans 10:9-11 CEB

Jesus is our one and only mediator:

"There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus" -1 Timothy 2:5 CEB

Jesus is our High Priest:

"Also, let’s hold on to the confession since we have a great high priest who passed through the heavens, who is Jesus, God’s Son; because we don’t have a high priest who can’t sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin." -Hebrews 4:14-15 CEB

We are to follow the Lord and the Bible, not traditions of people:

"Jesus replied, “Why do you break the command of God by keeping the rules handed down to you?" -Matthew 15:3 CEB

Jesus is God:

"Without question, the mystery of godliness is great: he was revealed as a human, declared righteous by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached throughout the nations, believed in around the world, and taken up in glory." -1 Timothy 3:16 CEB

If Jesus isn't the Lord of your life, then I hope that you will let Him into your heart and life this very moment.

"But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8 CEB

Have you built your foundation on the Rock of Salvation?

Jesus is the way. If you would like to receive Jesus into your heart and life, then let Him know. Pray to the Lord, telling Him that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and that you believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the death penalty for your sins. Tell this to God in your own words, from your heart.

"The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 CEB

Believe, and Receive:

"You too heard the word of truth in Christ, which is the good news of your salvation. You were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit because you believed in Christ." -Ephesians 1:13 CEB

When you believe on Jesus Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit. You are sealed as a child of God.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life as your Lord and Savior, and you believe that Jesus died on the cross in your place, to pay the death penalty for your sins, and that Christ rose from the dead three days later, and you are ready to let Him lead your life, and you will live for Him, then you are saved, and born again.

You are now a saved Child of God, with the Holy Spirit living within you. Dedicate your life to the Lord, and live for Him. Please get a Bible (I suggest the Common English Bible - CEB) and turn to the Gospel of John. That is the fourth book in the New Testament. If you don't have a Bible, then you can read it for free, online - here.

After you've read the Gospel of John, go on to read Acts, and then Romans. These three books will bring you through the Gospel, the early church, and basic Christian doctrine. After you've read these three, then turn to the beginning of the New Testament, and read it all the way through. After that, read both the Old and New Testaments.

You should also follow the Lord and get baptized in water. A Believer's Baptism doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ saves you. A Believer's Baptism is an outward showing of your salvation. It symbolizes you being born again. When you are lowered under the water, it shows you dying to your old self, and when you are raised up out of the water, it symbolizes you being born again, as a new creature in Christ. This is called a Believer's Baptism, because, according to the Bible, a person is supposed to get baptized after they have believed on Christ. Anyone who was "baptized" before having faith in Christ just got wet - nothing more. You don't need to find a church to get baptized in. Any born again Christian can baptize you in any acceptable body of water - even a public swimming pool.

Find a good, local church congregation to attend. Search in your area for a Nazarene church, Foursquare church, or non-denominational Full-Gospel church.

Immerse yourself in the Bible. The Bible is God's love letter to you. It is also your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
