Overcome the dangers of life with Christ

Children of God are blessed with a consciousness to the presence of Christ. Belief and trust in Christ gives children of God an assurance they are taken care of through every condition in life. Children of God also face dangers in this life. They must be cautious about worldly things...as  they walk with Christ.

The Devil still lurks to destroy the child of God's walk with Christ. The world we live in... is in total opposition to the life of a believer in Christ. The world accepts disobedient conduct such as drinking, drug use, gambling, lying thats OK, etc. The world says its OK, we're only human. The Bible says to, "Walk in the Spirit not in the flesh". The reason for walking in the Spirit is to keep your heart and life in harmony with the presence of Christ. Without compromise.

Compromise is dangerous. Compromise to the world is even more dangerous. Compromise to temptation is dangerous. The world we live in can "destroy" the walk of a believer as it subtly teaches compromise to the point that the child of God "throws in the towel" and gives into the worldly way of thinking. The Devil wants the marriages to be wrecked. The world hates the light and loves darkness. Without truth the world can teach a lie and some will believe it.

Don't be deceived. The world, the flesh, and the Devil are out to tear down and destroy the child of God. The world hates the child of God. Opposition against the truth will never cease. Love not the world. Don't be conformed to the world. This is where the test comes in. It's called the trying of your faith or going through the fire. Recognize the dangers caused from worldly opposition. Trust the Lord for everything in life. Keep your heart clean and holy. Walk in the Spirit...not in the flesh. The world cannot harm you if you depend on Christ. The Devil has to flee if you depend on Christ. Truth prevails as opposition diminishes. Glory!

The witness in your heart will keep you from faltering. A child of God lacks nothing concerning the dangers they encounter. Do not deviate from the truth. If you do your life will go out of order and the world can creep in. Your association with Christian people can change. Dangers multiply and then comes sin. When sin is found condemnation comes upon the human soul. Consciousness to peace found in the person of Christ...becomes misery. The joy that comes from Christ is lost and contentment is nowhere be found.

Keep yourself pure. Avoid the heaviness and condemnation that comes from sin. Stay steady and right in the eyes of God. Avoid the dangers of the world. When tempted turn to Jesus. Keep the flesh in subjection to a life of obedience found only in Christ. No compromise. When in doubt about something...be safe. Don't do it unless God permit. Husbands love your wives. Wives love your husbands. Marriage is honorable in the eyes of God. Christians are overcomers. Christians are more than conquerors. Christians are winners! Glory! The gates of hell "cannot" prevail. Why? Christ is your Saviour.

No debates, arguments, or fables at the Churches on Trial...we simply teach Christ crucified

This ministry was ordained of God to tell the world the truth about Christ. We are not based on hype. We are not in it for the money, nor are we in it to gain popularity. The reality is, "Christ is real". He changes things and gives us a better life.

We do not argue. We do not debate. We do not teach fables.  Our intent is to get people to Christ and to teach them God's Word.

The world is lost. So many distractions. Evil is rampant. The pressures of life are intense. The clean heart is the simplicity of Christ in your heart and mine. The Bible teaches that Christians have a clean heart. Christians are holy and right in the eyes of God. Christ is alive and His power is given to those who believe.

This is the plain and simple truth. Christ is the way; the truth; and the life. No room for argument or debate. God said so. It's final. To do the will of God your heart must be clean. Only Christ can clean the heart of man.  Don't be overtaken with the opinions of men. Read it in your Bible.

Truth undermines elegant stories which come from enticing words of men's wisdom. Truth plows under human wisdom with demonstration of the Spirit and power. Truth is only built upon the Word of God. Truth is not open for debate. Truth is only argued by people who reject it or don't understand it's worth. Truth is raw...and simple enough for a child to understand. Truth needs to be stood for and taught more!

At the Churches on Trial we put Churches on Trial because we don't water down truth. We don't compromise, nor do we apologize for teaching truth. Sometimes the truth requires giving up what you have. Sometimes truth seems unusual but it brings comfort to the soul. Brother Lindsey paved the way teaching truth so that's why we publish his timeless messages on this Blog. The Christ Brother Lindsey preached changed Rick Roehms life too. That's why I give my time and life to this cause.

May it bless your life. Thanks for stopping by this Blog to study these things out to see if they be true.  God knows your heart. We appreciate the fellowship. Enjoy the Churches on Trial, a blog started to magnify the cause of Christ in a present evil world. Make Christ your anchor and your joy. Appreciate you stopping by.

A revival message that can never die...Hubert T. Lindsey... (6 audios of 10)

The following (6) audios were recorded at a Florida Revival meeting in 1985 and contain a wealth of knowledge (from the book of Revelation)that merits publication. There are (4) additional audios to be added to this (10) audio series. The (6) audios posted below are in chronological order and cover many fascinating subjects in the Bible such as the, "mark of the beast", "God's promises to Israel", "the gathering", "the complete restoration",  and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh".

This audio ministry has been an ongoing ministry for this writer for almost 25 years. When I transpose these audios I study the content in effort to make sure all material is sound doctrine. I have spent many years studying Joel's Prophecy, the restoration of the Earth in the Millennial Kingdom, Jewish Law, The Kingdom Message, God's gathering of Israel, Israel's own gathering, various religions of the world, The Rapture, etc. These audios are fascinating and informative. They will fill gaps in your personal Bible study. They will bless you life and walk with Christ.

Please note the players below are sponsored players that often need to be refreshed to review content, to share, to send, to e-mail, to download or upload. God has blessed this ministry richly. Use it for the glory of Christ. Save these posts. Send them to friends. Help us to scatter this knowledge around the globe for the cause of Christ. This site is authored and maintained by Rick Roehm, pastor at the Upper Room in Williamsburg, Ohio. Our mission is to win souls to Christ. I'd like also to mention my dear Brother James Allen who works hand in hand with this writer to publicize Brother Lindsey's teaching around the globe. We do it for Jesus. Jesus gets the glory! Six audios posted! More coming as God allows.

Jesus, the greatest Father...Hubert T. Lindsey

Fathers Day Special!!!
I have been compelled to post this audio/video by Brother Lindsey for several years. A dear Brother (Jim Denton) from Mi. gave me this audio a few years ago. It contains very touching and powerful testimony for Christ. It also touches on the sanctity of marriage that so many need to know in this fast paced and evil world.

Today, Fathers Day 06/19, 2011 was the day to make that post! Brother Lindsey originally recorded this audio 06/19/1988. 23 years ago...Not a coincidence, huh? No. God has a purpose. This audio/video was necessary to post at the Churches on Trial as we endeavor to magnify Christ (and the truth concerning Christ in the Scriptures) around the globe.

In dedication to Hubert T. Lindsey, the father of the Gospel in Rick Roehm's life.

Hubert T. Lindsey...Ashes of a Red Heifer...#3 of 6

This profound teaching by Brother Lindsey was originally recorded in 1985 at a Revival Service in Florida. This audio is one of a six audio series that contains in depth and prophetic teaching on the subject of Israel's mystical Ashes of a Red Heifer. At present, these Ashes and the Red Heifer are currently being sought by Jewish leaders, in effort to restore and rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The Internet has opened doors and is now allowing these Spirit filled and God sent messages to reach people across the globe for the cause of Christ. This audio is over 60 minutes long and contains a vast amount of unusual and true Biblical knowledge.

Hubert Lindsey was a Bible scholar and was personally tutored by a Jewish Rabbi for 15 years. As a Spirit filled minister Brother Lindsey could simplify Daniel's Prophecies and John's Book of Revelation and could tie them together and make them so simple..that a child could understand. In the contents of this profound series of audios Brother Lindsey clarifies controversial issues about the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple that is questioned by thousands of people around the globe.

Brother Lindsey left this God sent material (on audio) to win lost men and women to Christ before the Rapture of the Church comes. It has been my pleasure for 25 years to continue reviving these timeless messages. I thank God for Brother James Allen who also assists this preacher with the publication of these Hubert Lindsey audios.The Churches on Trial Blog has been used for this ministry for the past couple of years. We at the Churches on Trial thank God for the opportunity to continue this blessed work that Brother Lindsey placed onto audio in effort to bring clarification from the Word of God to many students of the Bible around the world.

On the player below MP3's and downloads by Hubert T. Lindsey these sponsored audios can be paused, shared, E-mailed, uploaded, or downloaded for future listening. We appreciate the assistance from sermon.net/holy to present these sponsored audios on the Churches on Trial blog site. In the future... The Upper Room and the Churches on Trial, hopes to sponsor their own player to  bless others with these timeless messages. Our intent  is to keep what Brother Lindsey started alive and make these audios, "A blessing to other people". Help us to help others with this blessing...for the cause of Christ. Thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog. Tell somebody about this site and help us to scatter the Word of God around the globe.

Hubert T. Lindsey, a voice for God for 75 years

As a voice for God, I also am honored to carry on this ministry for Christ, at present and for the past 24 years. This site (Churches on Trial) is now reaching people for Christ and teaching the Bible, around the world. Glory!  Brother Hubert T. Lindsey who inspired this writer to make this Internet site... preached Christ, recorded sermons, and impacted lives for Christ his whole life for 8o+ years on this side of Heaven. Hubert T. Lindsey a.k.a...Holy Hubert was and still is a voice for God today as a result of the Internet. Hubert Lindsey as a voice for God (and dear Brother in Christ) is worth mentioning and remembering. His voice still echoes Christ today in 2011. Hubert Lindsey is a major reason why I created this Blog site.

Hubert Lindsey preached Christ (thoroughly) around the United States for decades. He impacted lives and recorded sermons because he knew their worth in the future. He made radio broadcasts about the Bible because he knew the worth of his Biblical knowledge and witness for Christ. Today, a dear Brother (Jim Denton) and myself have hundreds of sermons recorded by Brother Lindsey that merit future publication. We both have endeavored for years to carry on this ministry. The voice of Hubert Lindsey needs to be heard around the world. His strong message about Christ, the Gospel, and vast amounts of Bible truth were recorded and preserved according to the will of God. Hubert knew this. Rick Roehm knows this, and anyone who finds the worth that stems from this vast Biblical Truth will learn and experience this for themselves.

Christ in the Throneroom is preparing hearts for His soon return. Holiness is the fruit of this message and ministry. Holiness was and is the object of Hubert Lindsey's ministry. The voice of God and the voice of men of God proclaims loudly, "Be ye holy as I am holy, thus sayeth the Lord". It takes backbone to preach holiness against an unholy world. Hubert Lindsey had Spirit filled backbone to pave the way. He had mercy, compassion, and love for humanity. Anyone will discover this fact when they hear the voice of Hubert Lindsey. Hubert Lindsey was a preacher, minister, teacher, evangelist, Theologian, Apostle, and called man of God. God used the voice of Hubert T. Lindsey for many decades. Check out his sermons at this site.

We offer preaching, teaching, radio broadcasts, Church services, and a complete Bible Theology for those whose desire to hear and learn the Word of God. Hubert Lindsey rightly divided the Word of God an laid foundations that stand for the long haul. Search this Blog site. Listen to the voice of Brother Hubert Lindsey. Allow God to minister truth and holiness to your heart and soul.  God Bless and thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog that God used Google to publish for the cause of Christ.

Jesus cried over Israel's rejection...

Luke 19...And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

As a foundation of this Blog I have to go back to one week before the crucifixion of Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven message was rejected by Israel as a nation and so was the Promised King. God had promised the King and the Kingdom message to be presented to Israel. Isreal rejected both. It broke Jesus' heart to witness the attitude of rejection that came from the nation of Isreal His home country and fellowkinsmen. Jesus mourned, He sorrowed, and He cried. He cried because Israel rejected God's promised earthly Kingdom which is a hugh portion of prophetic truth contained in the Old Testament records. Jesus cried because Israel rejected the ones (the twelve and the seventy) He sent out preaching, "The Kingdom of Heaven was at hand". The message of the Kingdom to Isreal had to be presented! The Apostles, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself presented it! If the Kingdom message would not have been presented for the first three years of Jesus' ministry... even the stones would have cried out!

Luke 19:40-41...And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

In Matthew's account of these final days of Christ he spoke of Jesus literally withering the fig tree. This literal withering of the fig tree was actually a pronounciation of Judgment by Christ upon Israel for their rejection of the promised King and the Kingdom message. It broke Jesus' heart to do such because the Kingdom of Heaven promised from the foundation of the world was rejected and therefore postponed until the 1000 year reign of Christ.

Matt 21:19-20... And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Marks account of Jesus's literal curse upon the fig tree spoke as such.

Mark 11:20-21... And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away

After Christ realized that Israel "lacked faith" so much that the Kingdom could not be established He wept over Israel. He knew their lack of faith. He knew their backslidden state. He knew their rejection of the Torah. He knew their rejection of the Messiah. It sorrowed Christ in His heart for the pronunciation of Judgement that was to come. The curse of the fig tree actually pointed to Israel's future destruction of the Temple in 70AD. Jesus foretold this destruction. Aniel foretold this destruction. The curse of the fig tree also pointed to Israel's lack of faith and doubtful rejection of the Messiahship of Christ.

When Jesus spoke of Israel having faith the size of a mustard seed He wasn't praising Israel... He was reproving them for their lack of faith and rejection of the King and the promised Kingdom. In Matthew you have these definative words about faith concerning if they would have recieved the Kingdom on earth...which was the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt 21:21...Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

This moving of a mountain that Jesus spoke of was a "literal moving of mountains" just like the withering of the fig tree was a "literal withering of the fig tree" that pointed to Jesus' pronounciation of Divine Judgement upon Israel. You see...in the Kingdom on Earth (The Kingdom of Heaven) those who reign with Christ will have power over tangible Earth just like Christ had. That is how Peter walked on water. In the Kingdom Age...Jesus gave the disclples power over tangible earth, natural law, demons, scorpions, the weather, etc. Whatever they would say or would do would happen. Man was to have dominion over the natural laws of Earth in the Promised Kingdom. When Jesus wept the Earthly Kingdom was postponed until after the Rapture of the Church. Many things happened when Jesus wept!

PS...If Israel would not have rejected their own Torah...they would have recogized the Messiahship of Christ. The Torah spoke of Christ. Unfortunately, Israel followed the teaching of the Talmud more than the Torah which is the first five books of the Bible. Jesus taught the Torah.
