Bearing witness.
Have you ever been a witness? Everyone has, to something or other,
right? We've witnessed a lot of things.
When we are witness to crimes we are sometimes called to bear witness in
a legal setting on a stand in court. Bearing witness to something is being a
witness. If you witness for your faith you are telling others of your faith.
The TWO witnesses - God's WORD the OLD (ONE) and the NEW (TWO) Testaments are the
BEST, the TRUEST, the PUREST witnesses of God there could ever be!
How do you hurt the word of God?
We are to live by-- Luk_4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is
written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
-- every word of
God.
We are BLESSED by
the word of God, if we KEEP the word of
God.
Luk_11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they
that hear the word of God, and keep it.
WE can receive the
word of God. The word of God can grow
and multiple.
Act_11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in
Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Act_12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
FAITH comes by the
word of God- HEARING the word of God.
Rom_10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God.
Born again by the
WORD of God.
1Pe_1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The heavens and the
earth- by the word of God are kept!
2Pe_3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that
by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the
water and in the water
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The word of God! The
power in the word of God is so immense we can scarcely fathom it at all!
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light
of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was
John.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made
by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received
him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made 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.
When we hurt our
Savior, when we hurt our God, we are hurting the word of God. We are hurting the witnesses.
******* Continuing our prophecy study-- Please
GO back and READ the study from the beginning to gain full understanding of
where we are if you haven't been following this study daily. Thank you
:) We are on lesson number 88. God bless you! ******
Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire
proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will
hurt them, he must in this manner be killed
Does God use fire to
destroy unrepentant sinners?
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven
Yes.
Will God use fire to
destroy unrepentant sinners?
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
Yes, God will use
fire to destroy unrepentant sinners.
The Word of God is
truth.
Is God hurt by our
sins? Seriously, do our sins grieve God?
Luk 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell
you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry
out.
Luk 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the
city, and wept over it,
Luk 19:42 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.
Jesus wept.
Fact or fiction?
Most unfortunately
believe it's all fiction, but it is fact, praise God.
Our Lord and Savior
will return and though His heart breaks for those who will be lost, they will
be lost, and in the very, very end they will be burned to ash, to nothing.
Those who hurt the
Word of God, those who disobey the Word of God, those who do not heed His
commandments, those who do not believe in His gospel of the kingdom- they will
be destroyed unless they repent! And many, very sadly will NOT repent. Many
will be lost and so many do not believe this is true. It is true that those who
hurt God's two witnesses will be destroyed by fire as the word of God has
promised. The witnesses have given their testimony and by that testimony - by the word of the mouth of those
witnesses, people- many people will be destroyed because they believe not and
they live against those witnesses of God's
love and truth, they hurt the
love and truth of God. We can't escape this on our own, only through our
Savior's mercy and grace can we live in hope of eternal life in His kingdom
with Him, through His righteousness. We cannot shun the word of God, we cannot
shun the witnesses He has left with us, we cannot hurt the Word of God and yet
so many do.
Please God, please
keep us in You and Your truth now and always! In Your love!
Amen.
