Who Do You Serve?

15 Apr

So choosing to blow people up, strike terror, who do you think those people serve?

Romans 13:9-10 – 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Matthew 22:37-40 – 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

So did those people or groups that did this or even celebrate the attack in Boston believe the above words?

No.

If you believe that all roads lead to Rome understand this.  A God that says the Jewish people, are a people He has made a covenant with and gave them the land they’re in, is not the same god as the one that wants every last one of them destroyed and the land taken from them.  They are not the same God.

It is amazing to see how many people can’t even make that simple distinction.  The problem isn’t lack of intelligence, it’s a lack of wisdom and a lack of caring to look at it in depth.

So who do you serve?  A god of fear, hate, and destruction.

Perhaps you would rather serve a God that loved you enough to pay for your sins and die for you instead.  It will cost you.  It will cost you being the god of your life and to start serving Him.  He wants you and rather or not you realize it, you need Him.

If Someone Is Looking For Christ And Not In The Air……Then

13 Apr

Many people in the church believe they have to prepare the earth before Jesus comes back.  Is that biblical?  Isn’t that saying that they are bringing the millennium for Christ, instead of Christ taking control and doing so?

Here’s what I read:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 –  16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

I have a date with the Lord in the air.

As a pre-trib rapture Christian, I believe the Lord comes for His bride and it’s off to the honeymoon.  So if there is a group trying to lay the foundation for the Lord so he can lead them on this utopian earth they are trying to make, who are they going to see?  The antichrist.

Don’t get me wrong, we are to be witnesses for our Lord.  We are to be spreading the Good News.  However, our citizenship is in Heaven and not being a dweller on this earth.

Our Savior is coming to call us in the air.  It’s a blessed hope.  The antichrist is coming to try and run his kingdom on the earth through the most troubling and horrific time.  Christ comes back at the end of that time with His bride, which is at Armageddon.  Then rules and reigns in the millennium and allows His own to help rule with Him.

Don’t love this earth, love Heaven.  Don’t be looking for antichrist, but Jesus Christ.

The Lord Wants Evil Purged

08 Apr

Deuteronomy 20:10-18- 10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

When God had Israel go into the land and kill everyone, it was because those people had completely turned evil.  They had ripened up to the stench where God said no more.  God commanded the Israelites to kill everyone.  Why?  Because he didn’t want one infected bad apple to infect a new people who were to follow His principals.

Notice God didn’t send them in until the appointed time.  They had to become really evil before they went in.  This is what He said to Abraham.

Genesis 15:16 –16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”

To the surrounding areas, God wanted submission.  He gave an alternative to the people around the area.  Serve Israel or the men (only) would be killed.  Notice there wasn’t the purging God demanded from those in the land He was giving to Israel.  They then took the woman and children to raise under God.

How much longer, before America reaches its full measure?  It’s on a fast track of bringing back all the things that God detests.  God takes evil seriously.

God may be slow to anger and abounding in love, but He hates evil.  Let’s do our best to stay away from what God thinks is evil.  Let’s try to purge it from our lives.

War And Rumors Of Them

05 Apr

Matthew 24:6-7 – 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

I was just inspired to write a quick note on the above scriptures.  With North Korea threatening, it brings the focus a little closer from our perspective in America.  We have Iran over threatening to annihilate Israel if they get the ability and North Korea threatening to use possible nuclear warheads.

These are your nation against nation.  Let’s not forget though that the scripture is not being redundant.  Kingdom against kingdom is different.  It’s fighting from within, such as Syria.

Wars and rumor’s of wars.  These things are on the main news stations and the world is paying close attention.  If nothing breaks out, it’s still a major rumor of war.

The birth pangs are happening closer together and things for the second coming are all shaping more distinct and faster every day.  The world is going broke more every day.  Every month our government is pumping money into the banks which is making its way into the market, but where does it come from?  Our dollar is losing value more every day.  For those in the new world order this is equalizing things without a devastating bankruptcy that leads to anarchy.

We are closer than ever to our Lords return.  Don’t get wrapped up into this world.  He warns us to keep an eye out for Him.

No Greater Love

31 Mar

John 15:13 – 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

He died for each and every one of us, which are willing to accept it and make Him Lord.  Today reflect on how much love the Lord has shown to each one of us.  For a perfect loving God to die for a bunch of out of control haywire humans, is nothing to be taken for granted.

The God who made the whole universe died in our place, so we may live.  Praise your glorious name Lord!

God’s Covenant Concerning Israel

25 Mar

Deuteronomy 4:23-31 – 23 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

I was reading in my one year Bible this morning and came across this.  I’ve written quite a few times about the promises and covenant with Israel that God has.  Why?  Because replacement theology is very common in the world today amongst many denominations and people.  It helped lead to the holocaust and is a doctrine from Satan.

God has a promise, He will keep His promise.   Those who don’t read or follow the Word of God are many.  We need to read the Word so we are not led astray but what makes worldly sense to us.  We are fallen creatures.  We are very susceptible to hearing fallen doctrine and being fooled, if we don’t know the Word and the Truth.

Obedience Is So Important

20 Mar

Psalm 128:1 – 1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him. 

Blessed.  A word we should not overlook.  Our Lord wants us to be obedient, obedient out of love.  Serve Him and not ourselves.  Make Him Lord, that’s what wants.  He wants our hearts. 

That’s what our walk needs to be all about.  The further off the path the darker it gets.  It’s easier to get lost when it gets dark.  

We need to be afraid of spiritual darkness.

David Knew The Importance Of Needing Our Iniquities Being Washed Away

14 Mar

Psalm 51:1-2 –1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

Before Jesus came and did this very thing, David knew the importance.

People today sadly don’t know they need to have their sins cleansed.  They aren’t looking for the One Whom created them.  They aren’t worried about being accountable to Him.

We need to do our best to share that it is important to others.  Without our iniquity being washed away by the blood of the Lamb, hell awaits.  That’s scary and ugly.  Not everyone will choose their Creator as Lord, but we need to do our best to give them a chance.

God Sets His Face Against Those Who Follow Mediums And Spiritists

10 Mar

Leviticus 20:6 – 6 “‘I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people.

It’s amazing the farther America gets away from God and the Bible where they turn to.  It’s back to the same old song and dance, nothing new.  So where has people’s freedom from God led them?  Back into seeking psychics, mediums, etc.  They pay big money to inquire about the future.  They are fascinated by it.

One observation I have made, is that the same people are never excited about God’s truth.  It’s spirit thing.  Loving truth means that you won’t always like what it reveals.

Who are the mediums and spiritist communicating with?  God’s enemies.  The problem is people are ignoring God and listening to His enemies.

I’ve said it many times.  We don’t want to be an enemy of God in any way shape or form.  Seek His truth.  There are so many out there teaching doctrines from seducing spirits that are not truth.  How do we know?  Because it contradicts the Bible and His Word.

And If You Defile The Land It Will Vomit You Out Like The Nations Before You

06 Mar

Leviticus 18:24-28- 24 “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

The advice to Israel rang true as God’s Word is.  America has been kicking God out of all its infrastructure and can’t seem to defile itself fast enough now.
