Messiah--Which Leader Do You Follow?

Messiah is the Name for Jesus Christ the Savior of mankind. But Messiah did not always refer just to Him and His coming. And even today there are plenty of lesser "messiahs" who appear as leaders, some evil and some good.
The sealed person is a good leader. You may not consider the sealed person a messiah. You may reserve that Name for Jesus alone. And that is good. But the sealed person is a good leader and not an evil one.
When you are sealed God writes His Name upon you. He claims you as His own and you belong to Him. But most people do not know anything about this, even if they have heard about it from the Bible.
So they need a leader. Someone who is already sealed. And it is the will of God that you believe the sealed person. In John 6:27 Jesus instructs the people to believe on the sealed person.
The people asked Jesus what they could do to do the works of God. And He answered that they should believe on the one God has sent. Now most Christian teachers have taught Jesus referred only to Himself there. That is not true.
Jesus referred to the sealed religious leader who is sent to simply show people how they can become sealed and secure their inheritance of God, for here on earth and for ete
ity in Heaven.
Jesus told them they should not work for the food which perishes but for that which endures unto ete
al life. And the sealed person would give them that food since God the Father had set the Seal upon him.
He was not referring to Himself there. He was referring to the sealed person God would send. You have access to that sealed person today, in this generation. You need not consider him a Messiah. But you need to consider him.
I am sealed and I have been told by God to take my message out to the world. When you believe my message you believe the one who sent me--God. I am sent by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
I am sent to you to show you how you can belong to God. You may think you already belong to God. And if you do belong to God then good for you! But it is my mission to show you how you can be sealed.
The reason the sealed person is needed today and sent into this generation is because this is the time of great activity of the devil. Satan is let loose from his bonds for a short time after the thousand-year mark. That time is now.
And Satan is desperate because he has only a short time to deceive the world. He is rushing impatiently to collect as many souls as possible in a short time so he can build his own evil kingdom.
That is why so many people today have the mark of the beast in their forehead. If you think you do not have it then you are probably mistaken. The Bible says that everyone who does not receive the mark of the beast today is killed.
And you are still alive. You have survived by compromising. Unless you are sealed. God does not want you to compromise anymore. And you do not want to either. That is why you are reading this.
Satan does not want you to become sealed. He is fighting for you this very moment. So you have a choice to make. You can do nothing. Or you can believe God and take steps to learn how to receive the Seal. nnn

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
