Pleasant Perplexities
May 3, 2011

"For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you" (Philippians 1:23-24).

As we mature in the Lord, our fear of death recedes into the background and ultimately, as this verse demonstrates, becomes a desire to leave this sin cursed world behind and pass into the presence of the Creator.

The word choices in this passage are unusual.  The verse could be translated "I am held together out of two pressures, a passion to be loosed to be with Christ; which is very much more serviceable for me: but remaining here in the flesh is, out of necessity, more critical for you." 

Thus, the tension of the true saint of God.  The more that is known about the joy awaiting us in the presence of our Lord, the less we see earthly values and goals as things to work toward.  Yet the needs of churches, new Christians, troubled souls, and challenges surrounding our lives require a commitment to complete the "course" that God has given us to finish (2 Timothy 4:7).

The Lord Jesus insisted that we not worry about tomorrow, because the evil of each day was "sufficient" (Matthew 6:34), since there is trouble enough in the world among those who reject God’s authority (2 Timothy 3:1-7).  The evil that surrounds us should motivate us to long for the eternal rest promised to the people of God (Hebrews 4:9).

But to struggle with conflict resolution among the churches adds to the burden.  Many in the ministry know this tension, as do most who serve regularly in their own churches.  Perhaps our own peace comes when we finally determine that it is "far better" to serve. HMM III

God bless you OP.I would like to know your thoughts on Psalm 11 vs 3 'if the foundations be destroyed,what can the righteous do?'

While we await the OP's response entertain yourself with this picture that shows us where the problem lies.

Interesting picture!
Well, I have seen a lot in my life time and that's why I asked. The bible says De 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Then when you check King David's life, he was the tenth generation of Judah's incestuous relationship. So do you get the idea about Foundations?
Because I need to let someone who is a born again christian understand that there are natural laws attached to some sins and so you may ask for forgiveness, but the devil will still accuse you before God until you serve your sentence or God opens one's eyes as to how and what to pray by revelation.

Here is the solution. The moment Christians start to become the builders of the breach.

Letter dictated by the LORD JESUS to Sabrina on April 30, 2011:

This is your GOD and MAKER JESUS CHRIST, the one who bore the cross in your place.

I am a GOD of great compassion and love for MY people and children.

I AM that I AM, I AM is MY Name.

I AM means everything in everything. I AM means All in All. I AM is the complete meaning of MY Name. I AM has made everything. I AM let you think. I AM let you feel. I AM totally constructed in your being. Without ME there is no life possible on earth.

I have given MY Breath of life as your breathe. HE is your life. MY SPIRIT breathes through you. HE has given you the life. Without HIM there is no life possible on earth.

MY FATHER is the CREATOR and ORIGINATOR of all this. HE has chosen you before the foundation of the world. HE has created you and thought of you. You are a soul in HIS HANDS. HE has thought of you.

Therefore, MY FATHER is to be Glorified above all. Without HIS knowledge, wisdom, and intelligence, this world would never have materialized. Therefore, consider well who you want to serve on this earth. Do you serve mother earth as you call her or FATHER GOD? These are MY Words. Consider who you serve.

I AM has created you and given the breath of life. WE, MY FATHER, MY SPIRIT, and I, the ONE WHO bore your cross are ONE. Therefore, consider well who you want to serve.

Now is still the time of grace. I have given MY Words. I have given MY WORD. Everything is available to you to know WHO your GOD is. It is etched in you internally, and yet you oppose yourselves against your GOD, your MAKER, CREATOR.
[color=#770077]
There is only one thing that separates people from their GOD: sin. Many of you cannot surrender because pride covets their hearts. PRIDE! This pride will also take you to hell, where your pride will soon be broken by the torments for ever and ever.

I know that these words do not like to be read, but if I do not bring them out, many will still be lost. Therefore heed MY Words, MY children. Please, the time is so short. I am ready to fetch MY bride, to snatch her away from this earth to her eternal home. Oh so many things that I have prepared for her. She is MY beloved. I love her heart. She has overwhelmed and won MY Heart.

Unfortunately, not everyone will be part of MY bride. Only those who have laid down their lives for ME and let ME reign over their life. Only those…

My Heart is moved, because I know how many will stay behind when I come for MY bride. This also has been foretold long ago. Yet many of you do not heed it, because of your own thinking, your own knowledge, your own interpretation of MY Words and WORD stands in their way. This too is pride. Pride is a nasty quality. Only those who are humble of heart can please ME, only they are useful in MY Hands, only those who let themselves be kneaded into pure gold, will also inherit the gold in MY Kingdom.

O’ the glory that I have put away for MY children! My dear children, this is your GOD. Please heed MY Words. These are not empty words, but words of deep content. I love you all. But, I must act and judge after MY WORD, MY Eternal WORD. Therefore know that the time is short and I already pour out MY Judgments over this earth. Open your eyes and ears, and see, and know that your GOD is coming very soon!

I AM is Coming Soon!

BE READY!

Mercy and Truth
May 5, 2011

"Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10).

The words "mercy" (Hebrew checed, also often translated by "kindness" or "lovingkindness" and "truth" (Hebrew emeth) occur more often in the psalms than in any other book.  In fact, "mercy" occurs more in the psalms than in all the rest of the Old Testament put together.  Though at first these two concepts seem opposed to each other (for how can God's truth, which abhors sin, be compatible with His mercy, which forgives sin?), nevertheless they are "met together," for "his salvation," according to the previous verse, "is nigh them that fear him" (v. 9).

"Mercy and truth" (or "lovingkindness and truth" are brought together at least sixteen times in the Old Testament, including ten times in the psalms.  And when God's eternal truth can be united with His loving mercy, both mediated through His Holy Word, there is great blessing indeed!  "All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies" (25:10).  "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name" (138:2).  The first time the phrase is found in the Bible is in the prayer of Abraham's servant, thanking God for "his mercy and his truth" (Genesis 24:27).

God's mercy and truth, of course, are really met together only in Jesus Christ, through whom God can both "be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Romans 3:26).  He is "our peace" (Ephesians 2:14) and is "made unto us . . . righteousness" (1 Corinthians 1:30).  He is "the truth" (John 14:6) and will show in the ages to come "the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7).

Job and Adam
May 6, 2011

"If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom" (Job 31:33)

The patriarch Job lived long before Moses and the writing of the Pentateuch, yet he knew about Adam and his fall and likewise about God's curse on the world because of Adam's sin.

Note the following references in the book of Job to death and the curse: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble" (Job 14:1; compare Genesis 3:16). "All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust" (Job 34:15; note Genesis 3:19).

Evidently Job still had access to the records of primeval history, either by verbal tradition from his ancestors or perhaps through actual written records of the ancient patriarchs handed down from Adam to Moses.

There are also a number of references in Job to man's original creation. After speaking first of the beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea, Job asks: "Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind" (Job 12:9-10). Note also Elihu's testimony: "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life" (Job 33:4).

The book of Job was almost certainly the first written of all the books of the Bible, and it testifies abundantly that the knowledge of the true God and His creation was still the common heritage of mankind at that time. Job knew the Lord, and never tried to hide anything from Him, as Adam had done. His ancient testimony is still true today. Quoting what must have been an early revelation from God, he wrote: "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding" (Job 28:28). HMM

The Soul Exchange
May 7, 2011

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:36-37)

The lives of many people revolve almost completely around the stock exchange, and they never stop to realize that it easily may become a soul exchange, where they exchange their very souls for the imagined blessings of the great god Mammon. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10).

Similarly, many are greatly exercised about their monthly profit-and-loss statements. But the Lord Jesus asks whether there is really a profit, even if one acquires the wealth of the whole world at the cost of his soul, and the answer to such a rhetorical question has to be: "No!" For "the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (1 John 2:17).

Furthermore, the words "life" in verse 35 and "soul" in our text are actually the same word (psuche) in the Greek original. That is, to lose one's soul is to lose one's very life, for they are inseparable. A life centred around money is not only a soul lost, but a life wasted as well. On the other hand, if we lose our lives in Christ, then we find true life, eternal life, beginning here and now, and continuing forever. This is a good exchange!

God may well bless a Christian with material wealth, but this should not be his motivation. "Charge them that are rich in this world," Paul says, "that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate |i.e., share|; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life" (1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Atonement
May 9, 2011

"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch" (Genesis 6:14)

It may be surprising to learn that God's instructions to Noah concerning the Ark's design contain the first reference in the Bible to the great doctrine of atonement. The Hebrew word used here for pitch (kaphar) is the same word translated "atonement" in many other places in the Old Testament.

While the New Testament word "atonement" implies reconciliation, the Old Testament "atonement" was merely a covering (with many applications). As the pitch was to make the Ark watertight, keeping the judgment waters of the Flood from reaching those inside, so, on the sacrificial altar, "it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul" (Leviticus 17:11), keeping the fires of God's wrath away from the sinner for whom the sacrifice was substituted and slain. The pitch was a covering for the Ark, and the blood was a covering for the soul, the first assuring physical deliverance; the second, spiritual salvation.

However, not even the shed blood on the altar could really produce salvation. It could assure it through faith in God's promises on the part of the sinner who offered it, but "the blood of bulls and of goats" could never "take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4).

Both the covering pitch and animal blood were mere symbols of the substituting death of Jesus Christ, "whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God" (Romans 3:25). Through faith in Christ, our sins are "covered" under the blood, forgiven by God, and replaced by His own perfect righteousness, by all of which we become finally and fully reconciled to God. HMM

SELF GLORY


  Self Glory is Pride and God will NEVER share His Glory with anyone including His Children who may be stealing His Glory. If you desire to draw close to God, you must die to your sinful nature. For without Holiness, NO ONE will see the Lord! Use this time as Grace is available to get things right with God.

Stop pointing the finger at other peoples' weakness and work out your own salvation with trembling and fear. It is the human nature to always play back seat quarter back. How can the fan watching sports call the coach or the players a bunch of foul words when they themselves do not even come close to qualifying being in their position?
They really think they know better?
When one points the finger at the weaknesses of others, one is attempting to compensate their own weakness with pride.


Luke 6:42 (Amplified Bible) Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

Isaiah 58:9 (Amplified Bible) Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the FINGER pointed in SCORN [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,

Proverbs 9:12 (Amplified Bible) If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you SCORN, you alone will bear it and pay the penalty.

All healing comes through repentance and a contrite spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your hearts. The King of Kings is Returning! Teshuvah (repentance)! We must be examining our lives instead of busy examining others.

Things Worth Knowing
May 11, 2011

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2)

Although the book of 1 John is well known for its use of the word "love," various words, such as "know," "perceive," and "behold," occur almost as often.

Several of these words refer to the work of Christ in salvation.  "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins" (1 John 3:5).  "We know that we have passed from death unto life" (1 John 3:14), and "hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us" (1 John 3:16).  This knowledge brings great comfort and assurance: "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).

This knowledge should bring us into a life of submission and service: "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him" (1 John 2:5).  Similarly, "he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us" (1 John 3:24; see also 1 John 4:13).

This gives us confidence in prayer: "And this is the confidence that we have in him, . . . if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, . . . we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him" (1 John 5:14-15).

The culmination of a life marked by salvation, assurance, empowering, and victory will be that we will be with Him and be like Him. "Behold |same word as 'know'|, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1). JDM

The Indwelling Holy Spirit
May 12, 2011

"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his" (Romans 8:9)

Note that in this one verse the Holy Spirit is called both "the Spirit of God" and "the Spirit of Christ." Thus the two terms are synonymous, which means that Christ is God, and so is the Holy Spirit.

Note also that we "have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father" (Romans 8:15). In fact, our text assures each of us that we are actually living "in the Spirit," because He has come to "dwell in you." All of this has come about "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, . . . by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5). This glorious new birth, with sins forgiven and eternal life, is accomplished by the Holy Spirit in response to our faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord.

But also note that "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." It is absolutely vital that we have the Holy Spirit, "for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14). The question is, just how do we know that we have the Holy Spirit?

The answer is, because His Word says so! "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me," said Jesus, "hath everlasting life" (John 5:24). Furthermore, we have the testimony of internal peace and assurance. "The Spirit |Himself| beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God" (Romans 8:16).

Finally, the indwelling Spirit will increasingly be growing His eternal fruit in our lives--the ninefold fruit of "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance" (Galatians 5:22-23), and this will testify to others also that we do indeed have the Holy Spirit.

Death by Sin
May 13, 2011

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12)

This very important verse conveys several vital truths. First of all, death came into the world only when sin came into the world. Suffering and death of conscious life, whether animal or human, were not a part of God's "finished" and "very good" creation (Genesis 1:31 - 2:3). There was an abundance of food and all other provisions for both people and animals. There was certainly no "struggle for existence" or "survival of the fittest," for every creature was created "fit" for its own environment.

When Adam sinned, however, it became necessary for God to bring the curse of decay and death not only upon Adam, but also upon all his dominion (Genesis 3:17-20; see also Romans 8:20-22; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22).

Furthermore, there remains no warrant for the notion that "Adam" is simply a generic term representing the human race. He was "one man." In fact, he was "the first man" (1 Corinthians 15:45), and Eve was "the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20). There was certainly no population of evolving hominids becoming "Adam." In fact, Christ Himself made it clear that Adam and Eve were there "from the beginning of the creation" (Mark 10:6, quoting Genesis 1:27).

The entire argument here in Romans 5:12-21 becomes irrelevant if the Genesis record of the creation and Fall of Adam did not happen precisely as recorded in Genesis 1-3, and this would mean that there is no reality in the saving work of Christ, either.

Such a rejection of the Christian faith is hardly warranted by the fragmentary fossils that have been alleged to support the notion of human evolution. No one should stake his eternal soul on such a will-o'-the-wisp as that! HMM

Letter Received from JESUS Given to Sabrina on May 12, 2011:

I, JEHOVAH GOD come soon. MY coming stands at the door.

“I AM” am about to write history. Much will be written about this upcoming event. Many explanations will be given. But I tell you now, there is only one explanation, the correct one, and this is that MY bride will be taken away in her eternal rooms with her GOD…an eternity to celebrate a meal together and to be one with her ​​GOD…an eternity of pure enjoying the bliss of her GOD…an eternity with her MAKER and SAVIOR.

However, I tell you, whoever does not receive ME and does not believe in ME as his or her only SAVIOR, will be lost. The time is coming and it is now that I will snatch away MY bride from this ever-darkening world.

The antichrist is about to come on stage. I tell you, whoever accepts his number is lost! Hell is the only place destined for these people. Open your eyes, ears, and senses. Everything smells like the antichrist. The whole world is full of his presence. Soon there will be a cover over this world and people will blindly follow the enemy and be caught in his trap. I hear few sermons on this matter, a matter of life or death.

It is not about your own feelings anymore, about your own career, about your own interests, about your own dreams. It is now about ME and your eternity. This world phase is almost over. The phase of grace is almost over. Choose NOW for your GOD and MAKER. Oh but we do it anyway, you say. Oh really? I tell you, if someone does not obey MY WORD, I cannot even consider you as MY bride. MY bride is pure, chaste, clean; without spot, stain, and wrinkle!

If you make your own commandments and embellish them to meet your own desires anyway, your own flesh, then you will definitely bring ruin upon yourselves. I am a very righteous GOD and regard no person. I tell you, NOW is the time for complete obedience, NOW!

Make no compromises with MY WORD. Do not make your own compromises as you see fit. I, GOD, will not accept it. I AM unchanged and MY WORD is unchanged and MY character is unchanged.

Do you realize WHO your GOD is? Do you realize every time you twist MY WORD or adapt to your own rules and lusts, that this is a curse? MY WORD says, cursed is everyone who takes away or adds to MY WORD. Why then do you throw out certain parts of MY WORD? MY WORD is complete!

Read MY WORD, and stop filling yourselves with things that lead nowhere but to perdition. Every time you fill yourselves with worldly, devilish affairs, you bring ruin to your own soul.

I wish you understood how serious this all is. If someone lives after MY WORD, MY STATUTES, MY COMMANDMENTS, it will go well with him. Only then will I pour out the blessings, blessings that you cannot even bear anymore. Is not this the life you want?
It is very simple and not at all difficult: Obey MY WORD!

I, GOD make no compromises. I, GOD will not compromise with this world. MY WORD is MY WORD and stands firm forever. Obey MY WORD, live after MY WORD, and it will go well within spirit, soul, and body.

Do not come to ME afterwards that you did not know and are surprised that you are left behind. These are harsh words, but I want to save everyone, as I see many are still lost and compromise with themselves and this world.

The time is almost over. The grace is ticking away. Be ready and prepared, for your GOD comes very soon!

The age of grace is over!

Your GOD from heaven has spoken. These are MY WORDS.

Our Weekly Day of Rest and Worship
May 14, 2011

"And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day" (Deuteronomy 5:15)

It is significant that God's Ten Commandments are found twice in the Bible (Exodus 20:3-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21). In fact, "Deuteronomy" means "the Second Law." The two are worded identically, with a few exceptions.

The most significant of these changes is in connection with the reason given for obeying the fourth commandment, to "keep the sabbath day." In Exodus, the reason given is: "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day" (Exodus 20:11). Here in "the second law," the reason given is that God saved Israel out of bondage in Egypt, and now was about to enter the Promised Land. In other words, when the Israelites observed each Sabbath day in rest and worship, they were acknowledging God as both their Creator and their Redeemer.

Christians also, as they devote every seventh day as a day of rest and worship, should be remembering God for His finished creation ("the heavens and the earth were finished"--Genesis 2:1) and His finished redemption ("It is finished" was Christ's victory cry on the cross--John 19:30).

The word "Sabbath" means "rest", of course--not "Saturday" or "Sunday" or even "seventh" (the word for "seventh" in Hebrew is similar, but distinctly different from that for "sabbath". Most Christians now believe it is appropriate to honour the Lord Jesus (who is both their Creator and Redeemer) to take their seventh day of rest and worship on the first day of each week, thereby recognizing both His finished work of redemption and also His finished work of creation.
