Salvation 03-31-2024

 Are you worried or fearful about your nation, your community or your family?

Do you see no hope for the future?

Then I have Good News for you!

There is Hope!

JESUS CHRIST!

 

Today all over the world people are celebrating Easter, in many different ways, but the primary reason that we celebrate Easter is the fact that it is in remembrance of JESUS CHRIST rising from the dead and sending forth His followers to proclaim Salvation from sin in his Name.

 

The only True Hope that we have in life, is that by the Power of GOD’s SPIRIT that raised JESUS from the dead we can be set free from sin and eternal damnation.

 

If you are tired of struggling against life, realizing that you cannot fix your life then let GOD! He has a plan that is older than creation to save you from destruction and to give you eternal life.

 

There are many who are trying to figure out how to live longer if not forever. The Bible teaches us that we are going to live forever, we are immortal! But how we live now determines where we spent eternity!

 

Those who reject GOD’s plan and purpose will live in eternal judgment, hell. Those who chose to obey GOD and stop sinning against His plan and purpose will live in His eternal home, Heaven.

 

It is that simple! Once we decide to obey GOD and understand the plan He has for our eternal life, then we can trust Him as we go through the difficulties of this life.

 

“If you believe in your heart that JESUS is LORD and confess with your mouth that GOD raised Him from the dead, then you are saved.” So “Repent!” which is to stop sinning, which is breaking GOD’s Laws, and start living in GOD’s purpose for your life.

 

“GOD so Loves the world (including) you, that He gave His only begotten Son (JESUS) that whoever believes in Him shall not perish (be Saved from eternal judgment) and have eternal Life!”

 

GOD Loves you, let Him show you His Love. Ask Him to forgive you of being a sinner and then stop sinning. Then He will put His SPIRIT (The One that raised JESUS from the dead) in your life and He will teach you how to live and serve Him in this life so that you will be with him in His eternal home.

Resurrection 2024

 

As we celebrate The Resurrection looking to the Soon Returning King, JESUS; Who will rule over the nations of the earth for 1000 years. Let us remember the most important Words He spoke to us about the End of Days: “Therefore stay alert, for you do not know when The Master of The House is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the early morning. So, watch in case coming suddenly He finds you asleep. What I say to you I say to all: ‘Stay alert!’” “He said to them, ‘It is not your place to know the times or seasons which The Father has placed under His Own control. But you will receive power when The Holy SPIRIT has come upon you; and you will be My Witnesses in Jerusalem, and through all Judah, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’” Mark 13:35-37, Acts 1:7-8

 

It is interesting, even fun to study the End Time events, but the thing that JESUS emphasized most was to Watch, Know the signs of the time in which we live, Be ready, Don’t be deceived, Preach The Gospel; no matter what Preach The Gospel – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts!

 

Let us be careful that we do not miss our Calling by seeking knowledge GOD is holding to his Own Self. We know everything we need to know to proclaim The Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to the lost world! If we are ready, watching and about The Work of The Kingdom, The End of Days will not surprise us and we will be a participant and not just an observer.

 

Praise The Name of The Only True and Living GOD, ADONAI ELOHEI-TZVA’OT!

JESUS Is The Covenant!

 

JESUS Is The Covenant!

 

Every covenant GOD made with humanity is His Word, spoken and written!

 

JESUS is The Living Word of GOD!

“In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with GOD, and The Word Was GOD. And The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, The Glory as of the only begotten of The Father full of Grace and Truth” John 1:1, 14

 

JESUS is The Covenants and The Law and He fulfilled them at the cross!

After this, JESUS, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that The Scripture might be fulfilled, said, ‘I thirst!’…So when JESUS had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!’” John 19:28-30

“And when JESUS had cried out with a loud voice, He said, ‘Father into your hands I commit My Spirit.’ Having said this, He breathed His last.” Luke 23:46

 

JESUS expects us to keep His fulfilled Covenants, Law and Commandments, He told us so!

“Then JESUS said to those Jews who believed in him, ‘If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the Truth and The Truth shall make you Free.’” John 8:31-32

“If you love Me, keep My Commandments.” John 14:15

The Name of JESUS by Suleman Javed

 

The Name Of JESUS

By Suleman Javed

The Name of Jesus Christ "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24" The disciples of Jesus Christ were exhorted by Jesus to use His name. Why did He tell them to use His name? Jesus Christ would soon leave the earth; therefore, He had to ensure that the disciples experienced the value of His name. His name has answers to questions; His name has power to give what they asked for; His name has power to make them joyful. Their responsibility was to ask whatever they needed by faith using His name. Precious one, do you know the value of the name of Jesus Christ? Do you use it? Use it as much as you can to receive answers from God to make your joy completed. Praise the LORD!

Isaiah 58 With Commentary

 

Isaiah 58 With Commentary

 

“Cry aloud, do not hold back!

Raise your voice like a shofar.

Tell My People their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”

GOD commands Isaiah to call Israel to repent, He has done this throughout the history of the world. Before the flood, before the Covenant with Abraham, before Israel was a nation, before Israel went into 70 years of captivity, before JESUS started His earthly Ministry, before every major event in modern history. But like the people of pre-flood history, like the Children of Israel throughout history and like the people of all eras we (for the most part) do not listen to GOD’s call to repentance, Joel 2:12-17.

 

“Yet they seek Me day to day and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that did right, and had not forsaken their God’s decree. They ask Me for Righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of GOD.”

Humanity has always sought their own will while trying to appease GOD and even false gods with outward obedience, (Malachi 3:1, 8-10). JESUS called those of His day “whitewashed tombs” Matthew 23 [:27-28]; Deuteronomy 25:1-3; Acts 23:1-3.

 

“Why have we fasted, yet You do not see?

Why have we afflicted our souls, yet You take no notice?”

GOD has heard this type of questioning since He gave us life (even I have asked this) Zechariah 7:1-7; Matthew 6:16-18.

 

“Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure and exploit all your laborers.

Behold, you fast for strife and contention and to strike with a wicked fist.

You should not fast as you do today to make your voice heard on high.

Is this the fast I have chosen?

A day for one to afflict his soul?

Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and spreading out sackcloth and ashes?

Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to ADONAI?”

GOD answers our question and shows our heart! 1 Kings 21:1-16 [9-10]; Luke 18:9-14; Acts 6:8-7:60 [6:8-15, 7:54-60] When David repented and fasted of his sin with Uriah and Bathsheba praying and fasting with great sorrow was correct; during the reign of Hezakiah when Jerusalem Israel and Jerusalem was under immediate threat of being conquered, the whole populace praying and fasting was correct. But most of the time we pray and fast today it is not for GOD’s Will but for our own desire, even if it is ministry related, James 1:26-27.

 

“Is this not the fast I choose:

To release the bonds of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and tear off every yoke?

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the homeless poor into your house?

When you see the naked, to cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh and blood?”

This is what JESUS taught: Matthew 11:28-30, 25:31-46; Luke 4:18-19, 18:18-23.

 

“Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will spring up speedily.

Your righteousness will go before you, the Glory of ADONAI as your rear guard.

Then you will call, and ADONAI will answer.

You will cry and He will say, ‘Hear I AM.’

If you get rid of the yoke among you – finger-pointing and badmouthing – if you give yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness, and your gloom will be like midday.”

Repent! Isaiah 55:6-7; 60; Matthew 6:22-23, 33-34; Luke 3:1-14, 18:18-23; John 5:1-15 [14], 8:1-12 [11]; 2 Corinthians 5:20-21.

 

“Then ADONAI will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in drought and strengthen your bones.

You will be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.”

Who would not want their life to be drought proof? Psalm 1; Proverbs 3:1-6; Matthew 6:33-34; John 7:37-39; 1 John 5:7-8.

 

“Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins, will raise up the age old foundation, will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Street for Dwelling.”

While this was spoken to the generation of Hebrews who would rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple after their exile, it also speaks to the Modern Church, about the society where we live and the many needed repairs of integrity, morality and righteousness that must be built on the Foundation of the Chief Corner Stone, JESUS CHRIST! Psalm 118:22-24; Isaiah 28:16-17; Luke 20:17-18; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 2:19-22; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:1-12.

 

“If you turn back your foot from Shabbat, from doing your pleasure on My Holy Day, and call Shabbat a delight, The Holy Day of ADONAI honorable, if you honor it, not going your own ways, not seeking your own pleasure, nor speaking your usual speech, then you will delight yourself in ADONAI, and I will let you ride over the heights of the earth, I will feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.”

The nation of Israel was sent into 70 years of exile for not honoring (they ignored it) the Sabbath for 490 years, one year for every Sabbath. In JESUS’ day Israel had made it impossible to keep the Sabbath with their traditions, Exodus 20:8, 31:13; Jeremiah 25:1-14 [11-12]; Daniel 9:24; Mark 2:23-3:6 [2:27-28]. JESUS fulfilled The Law, that included The Sabbath, but we still have to keep The Ten Commandments. There is no place in The Scriptures that tells us that we do not have to keep any of The Commandments! In fact throughout the New Testament we are told to obey all of the 50 commandments that JESUS gave us [for more on that you can see my paper and video on The Will Of GOD Is Our Purpose]. When we are seeking GOD’s Kingdom and His Righteousness then we will have Peace and Joy no matter our situation, Matthew 5-7.

 

“For the mouth of ADONAI has spoken.”

This is the greatest guarantee that GOD’s Will, will be done! Hebrews 6:13-18.

Philippians 2:8, 3:10

 

Philippians 2:8, 3:10

 

“And being found in appearance as a man, He Humbled Himself and became Obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” “That I may know Him and the Power of his Resurrection, and the Fellowship of His Sufferings, being conformed to His death.”

 

“The center of Salvation is the Cross of JESUS, and the reason it is so easy to obtain Salvation is because it Cost GOD so much.” “The initiative of the saint is not towards self-realization. But towards knowing JESUS CHRIST.”

Oswald Chambers

Election Dream 3-21-2024

 

Election Dream 3-21-2024

 

Early this morning I awoke from a dream that I remembered I had a couple of years ago, I do not remember the year, but it was within the last four years.

 

Both times I have had this dream it ended without a conclusive result, the first time it did not mean anything to me, this time it did, but my understanding is in the general sense not what its actual meaning may be.

 

In my dreams there were three candidates running for a major office, one was represented by the color yellow, one by the color white and one with no color. The white and no color candidates were the two major parties and the yellow candidate was an independent candidate.

 

In my dreams I do not remember what the party platforms of the candidates were.

 

Just before the election it was revealed that the yellow candidate was a member of the white party and that they were actually running two candidates to increase their chances of winning.

 

There was general outrage with the public over the deception. But again, my dreams ended before the actual election.

 

My understanding based on today’s political situation.

 

The situation for the Presidential election being held this November fits these dreams in two possible ways.

First: The Democrats have two electable candidates running, Joe Biden, the current President running for reelection and Robert Kennedy Jr., running originally as a Democrat but expelled by his party and now running as a conservative Independent.

Second: The Republicans have two electable candidates running, Donald Trump, the former President and Nicki Haley whose main support and votes come from Liberals not Conservatives.

 

It seems to me that the Democrats are possibly running two dark horse candidates, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Nicki Haley hoping to spoil President Trump’s chances of winning reelection.

 

The even darker scenario is that the leftist elitists have more sinister plans, I have no actual information or evidence, but I believe these two scenarios are very possible.

First: That the leftist elitists are telling Robert Kenny Jr. to hang in there, that by the time of the convention or just before the election Biden will not be the candidate and he, Robert Kennedy Jr. will become the Democrat candidate for President with the full party’s support.

Second: That the leftist elitists are telling Nicki Haley to hang in there and that just before the election Donald Trump will no longer be the Republican candidate and with their, the leftist elitists, and the RINO’s support she will be the Republican candidate for President.

Conclusion: That either or both scenarios will give the leftist elitists the White House for four more years.

 

My thoughts:

In 1976 I voted for the first time, as a young Christian in Bible college there was a lot of excitement about the Democrat candidate, Baptist Minister, Georgia Governor, Jimmy Carter. I did not know anything about politics and apparently neither did a lot of Christians who voted for him.

The Republicans ran President Gerald Ford who barely beat Ronald Regan in the republican primary.

How different things would have been if the Christians had looked at the candidates more closely and seen that Ronald Regan was a true conservative and a true Christian, no matter the rhetoric of the Democrats and RINOs.

 

This Presidential election year: Christians take a hard close look at the four candidates that could become the next President of our nation. Pray and ask GOD for His Will for our nation and vote based on Biblical standards! Look past the rhetoric and accusations! The truth is hidden in the noise created to confuse!

Adoption

 

https://youtu.be/ss5fRhAZaiU

Adoption

There are three types of adoption for humans: unofficial, official and spiritual.

Unofficial adoptions are where people claim another person as a relative who is not a blood relative. They except and love each other as if they are family and tell everyone that they are family. Sometimes this comes out of personal relationships, sometimes it comes from shared emotional experiences like a tragedy or war. These bonds are as strong as any natural relationship and for some people they are stronger than their blood relationships.

Official adoptions are where someone decides to legally adopt another person, usually as a child with full legal rights as any natural born blood child. This can be arranged through an authorized agency for such adoptions that meet the legal standards of where they are living and from where they are adopting; like a state foster agency or a foreign country. This can also be done through the local legal agency by consenting parties such as combined families, or by people who see a need and want to help as more than a friend.

Spiritual adoption is only done by the True and Living GOD, YAHWEH, Who adopts people who repent of being a sinner and receive His Salvation through YESHUA His Son. The Almighty GOD Who created everything that exists wants every human to be His Child with all the legal rights that His Only Begotten Son YESHUA has.

John 1:11-13 “He came to His own and His own did not receive Him, but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of GOD, to those who believe in His Name: who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD.”

John 3:14-17 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. For GOD so Loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life. For GOD did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.”

John 12:34-36 “The people answered Him, ‘We have heard from The Law that The Christ remains forever; and how can You say, “The Son of Man must be lifted up?” Who is the Son of Man?’ Then JESUS said to them, ‘A little while longer The Light is with you. Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have The Light, believe in The Light, that you may become Sons of Light.’ These things JESUS spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”

Romans 8:14-17…22-23 “For as many as are led by The SPIRIT of GOD, these are Sons of GOD. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received The SPIRIT of Adoption by which we cry ‘Abba, Father.’ The SPIRIT Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Children of GOD, and it Children, then Heirs–Heirs of GOD and joint Heirs with CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may be glorified together…For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have The First Fruits of The SPIRIT, even we ourselves, eagerly waiting for The Adoption, The Redemption of our body.”

Romans 9:1-5 “I tell the Truth in CHRIST, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in The HOLY SPIRIT, that I have great sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from CHRIST for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertain the Adoption, the Glory, the Covenants, the giving of The Law, The Service of GOD, and The Promises; of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, CHRIST came, Who is over all, The Eternally Blessed GOD. Amen.”

Galatians 3:22-4:7 “But The scripture has confirmed all under sin, that The Promise by Faith in JESUS CHRIST might be given to those who believe. But before Faith came we were all kept under guard by the Law, kept for The Faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore, The Law was our tutor to being us to CHRIST, that we might be Justified by Faith. But after Faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all Sons of GOD through CHRIST JESUS. For as many of you as were Baptized into CHRIST have put on CHRIST. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in CHRIST JESUS. And if you are CHRIST’s, then you are Abraham’s Seed, and Heirs according to The Promise. Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fulness of the time had come, GOD sent forth His son, born of a woman, born under The Law, to Redeem those who were under The Law, that we might receive The Adoption as Sons. And because we are Sons, GOD has sent forth The SPIRIT of His Son into our hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ Therefore, you are no longer a slave but a Son, and if a Son, then an Heir of GOD through CHRIST.”

Ephesians 1:3-6 “Blessed be The GOD and Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who has Blessed us with every Spiritual Blessing in The Heavenly places in CHRIST, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame before Him in Love, having predestined us to Adoption as Sons by JESUS CHRIST to Himself, according to the Good Pleasure of His Will, to the praise of The Glory of His Grace by which He made us accepted in The Beloved.”

Hebrews 12:3-8 “For consider Him Who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin; and you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as Sons: ‘My son, do not despise the chastening of The LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom The LORD Loves, He chastens, and scourges every Son He receives.’ If you endure chastening, GOD deals with you as with Sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not Sons.”

So, we are received by GOD The Father as Sons in CHRIST JESUS, we are made joint Heirs of GOD’s Eternal Kingdom and like our first born brother, JESUS, we are called to serve The Father’s Will for and through our lives. The purpose of our Salvation is not so we can go to Heaven, it is to preach the Gospel to all the nations, to make disciples, to lay hands on the sick so they recover, to cast out demons, to baptize new believers, to raise the dead, to know the time in which we live, to watch and be ready for CHRIST’s return.!

John 15:4

 "Abide in Me, and I in you; as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me."

John 15:4


"In the initial stages abiding in JESUS is a continual effort until it becomes so much the law of life that you do it unconsciously. Get a move on begin to abide now. Determine to abide in JESUS wherever you are placed."
Oswald Chambers

Love is Power by Chris Leeper

 I asked the LORD this question in a time of listening prayer: 


What is standing between me and the power of GOD?

This is what I heard:
"Love MY son, love. You hold back because you don't see people in the light of MY goodness (this takes faith) but the way they are. I love everyone no matter what they do. Is this true of you? (No) Yes, and that is why MY power doesn't flow through you. If you will let ME flow through you in love, you will see the glory of GOD in the land of the living. You will see ME coming out of you and both you and I will enjoy it exceedingly."

Love is the avenue that the FATHER's power flows through. Do you love the lost? Do you love people? How can you love someone today? 

Let's Pray
LORD, please give me a divine appointment today. Give me and show me someone you want me to love. Fill me with YOUR love and pour me out today. In JESUS Name Amen.

The Will Of GOD Is Our Purpose

 

https://youtu.be/CFWqrbhzUPA


The Will of GOD is Our Purpose!

“Why do you say…and do not obey?” Luke 6:46

“Whoever does My Father’s Will” Matthew 12:50

“Abide in My Word.” John 8:31

GOD Told Us:

“So GOD created man in his Own Image; in The Image of GOD He created him; male and female He created them. Then GOD Blessed them, and GOD said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” Genesis 1:27-28

“So GOD Blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them; ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth…Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the Image of GOD He made man. And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it.’” Genesis 9:1, 6-7

JESUS Said About Himself:

“He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed, that the hour might pass from Him. And He said, ‘Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I Will, but what You Will.’” Mark 14:35-36 (Matthew 26:36-39; Mark 14:32-36; Luke 22:39-44)

“JESUS said to them, ‘My food is to do The Will of Him Who sent Me, and to finish His Work.’” John 4:34

“Then JESUS answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the father do; for whatever He does, The Son also does in like manner…I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear I Judge; and My Judgment is Righteousness, because I do not seek My Own Will but The Will of The Father Who sent Me.’” John 5:19, 30

“’For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My Own Will, but The Will of Him Who sent Me. This is The Will of The Father Who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up at The Lase Day. And this is The Will of him Who sent Me, that everyone who sees The Son and believes in Him may have everlasting Life; and I Will raise him up at the Last Day.’” John 6:38-40

“’They did not understand that He spoke to them of The Father. Then JESUS said to them, ‘When you lift up The Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. And He Who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.’” John 8:27-29

“’For I have not spoken on My Own Authority; but the Father Who sent Me gave Me a Command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that his Command is everlasting Life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.’” John 12:49-50

“’Do you not believe that I am in The Father, and The Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My Own Authority; but The Father Who dwells in Me, He does the Works. Believe Me that I am in The Father and The Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the Works themselves.’” John 14:10

JESUS Commanded Us:

“Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, JESUS came and stood in the midst, and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw The LORD. So JESUS said to them again, ‘Peace to you! As The Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive The Holy SPIRIT. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’”

“And JESUS came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All Authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in The Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy SPIRIT, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.”

“And He said, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be Saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: in My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.’”

“Then He said unto them, ‘These are the Words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled that were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend The Scriptures.’ Then He said unto them, ‘Thus it is written and thus it was necessary for The CHRIST to suffer and rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.’”

“And being assembled together with them, He Commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of The Father, ‘which,’ He said, ‘you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with The Holy SPIRIT not many days from now.’ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, ‘LORD, will You at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?’ And He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know the times or seasons which The Father has put in His Own Authority. But you will receive Power when the Holy SPIRIT has come upon you; and you shall be witness to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’”

John 20:19-23; Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18; Luke 24:44-47; Acts 1:4-8

Matthew 10:38, 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23, 14:27 Take up your cross!

Matthew 7:1-2; Luke 6:37 Do not judge!

Matthew 19:17; John 14:15 Keep My Commandments!

There are 613 commandments in The Law.

There are about 800 commandments in The New Testament.

There are about 50 commandments that JESUS gave us.

Most importantly JESUS gave us His SPIRIT (The Holy SPIRIT) so that we could learn, understand and obey all the commandments, He does not expect us to know them all but when we are following His SPIRIT he will council, guide and instruct us in what we need to know and do to be obedient to The Father’s Will.

Matthew 7:21-27, 26:14-16, 47-49 teaches about those who do not do His Will, even if they are doing the works of The Kingdom.

JESUS completed (fulfilled) the Law so that we would not be judged by it, but GOD still expects us to live by His Standards (Commands) so that we will be Holy to Him. 1 Peter 1:13-17 (Leviticus 11:44-45).

Psalm 83 Arabs Against Israel

 

Psalm 83

The Arab Nations Against Israel!

A song of Asaph.

GOD do not keep silent.

Do not hold Your Peace, O GOD.

Do not be still.

“For look, Your enemies make an uproar.

Those who hate You life up their head.

They make a shrew plot against Your People, conspiring against Your treasured Ones.

‘Come’, they say, ‘let’s wipe them out as a nation!

Let Israel’s name be remembered no more!”

For with one mind they plot together.

Against You do they make a covenant.

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre, even Assyria has joined them, becoming a strong arm for Lot’s sons.

Selah

Do to them as You did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River, who perished at En-dor – they became as dung for the ground.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb – all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, ‘Let us take possession of the pasturelands of GOD.’

My GOD, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

As a fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets mountains ablaze, so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Cover their faces with shame, so they may seek Your Name–Adonai.

Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever.

Let them be humiliated and perish.

Let them know that You alone–Whose Name is Adonai–are El Elyon over all the earth.”

Ephesians 6:17-18

 

Ephesians 6:17-18

 

“And take the helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of The SPIRIT, which is The word of GOD; praying always with all prayer and supplication in The SPIRIT, being watchful to this end and with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”

 

“If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. Prayer is not an exercise, it is The Life.”

Oswald Chambers

The World Waits by Dr. Caleb Cooper

 

The World Waits for a Generation Whose Spirits Burn for the Saving of Souls 

Can you imagine the body of Christ ignited and searing to simply tell people about Jesus Christ? What if the church burned for evangelism, populating heaven at a rapid pace with souls snatched from the fiery grips of hell?

I believe the earth awaits the rise of a generation that burns for souls once again. Every great revival that I have studied was marked by soul-winning, and as I read the New Testament, I can’t seem to find anybody within the fivefold ministry or any disciple of Jesus Christ who was so anointed that they graduated from soul-winning.

However, evangelism today seems to be one of the most resisted acts on the earth. The greatest miracle on the planet is the moment when God’s quickening power shifts the countenance of mankind, and they pass from spiritual death to life by the salvation of the Lord. I believe in the miraculous power of God, having witnessed great miracles, signs, and wonders where God has healed many bodies.

With that said, it is imperative we understand that a person can still get into heaven with a natural disease in their body, but they cannot get into heaven bound by the spiritual disease called sin. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Isaiah 43:25 says, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and will not remember your sins.”

Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.”

1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

A person’s greatest calling is to surrender their heart to Jesus Christ. Jesus is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all in a person’s life. The salvation of every lost man we encounter is within our grasp and contingent upon our willingness to obey the command of the Great Commission to share the Gospel.

Mark 16:15 says, “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.’”

Will you be the voice that interrupts people’s lives of sin by testifying about what Jesus Christ has done in your life? Will you be the walking, living, breathing advertisement of the kingdom of heaven? God has called you to trumpet the sound that there is not a sin people can get themselves into out of which the blood of Jesus Christ cannot walk them!

As a blood-bought, Spirit-filled believer, will you simply tell the lost man that you once were spiritually blind, but now you see; you were spiritually lost, but you have been found by Jesus; you were dead in all of your trespasses and sins, but now you have been made alive by the shed blood of Jesus Christ?

When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the fire of evangelism must dwell inside of you!

Acts 1:8 says, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The word “witness” means to be a martyr. You may not have to physically die for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but being a witness certainly means that you must be willing. All believers are called to live a sacrificial life as they die daily to their flesh, becoming a personal eyewitness of God’s redemptive power, bearing the testimony of Jesus Christ in the earth.

Mark 10:45

 

Mark 10:45

 

“For even the son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life a Ransom for many.”

 

“Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister?  Some saints cannot do menial work and remain saints because it is beneath their dignity.”

Oswald Chambers

Prayer for The Church Lent 2024

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us, Your People for our sins.

Thank You for your Grace and Mercy as Your Judgment in upon The Body of JESUS CHRIST – The Church; as individuals, families, fellowships, communities, churches, ministries and denominations.

Expose the liars, cheaters, stealers, the immoral and those who lack integrity; expose the false teachers, false prophets, wolfs in sheep’s clothing, Jezebels and Ahabs as You call them to repentance.

Those who are unrepentant, remove them from Your Body as the cancer they are. Restore health and vitality to Your Body – The Church; that we will know The Truth and be set free!

Thank You Father, that Your Will is being done in the earth as it is in Heaven in and through Israel and The Church. That You are expanding and contracting the boundaries of nations; that You are raising up and taking down leaders and governments throughout the earth.

Thank You Father for Your Grace and Mercy for The Body of CHRIST – The Church, as Your Will is being accomplished in these days. Thank You that You gave Israel and The Church, the purpose of accomplishing Your Will by our obedience to JESUS CHRIST our LORD and Savior.

Thank You Father that You have given us the Victory in JESUS CHRIST even as JESUS has made us to be Righteous in You so that we can accomplish Your Will in and through our lives.

Come LORD JESUS! Amen!
