He's returning soon!

'Within the two chapters - the 17th and the 18th -certain time references are given.

The ten horns "receive power as kings one hour with the beast." (17:12)

 While the harlot's plagues "come in one day" (18:8),

 in "one hour is [her] judgment come" (v. 10).

 "In one hour" her "great riches is come to nought" (v. 17).

 "In one hour is she made desolate" (v. 19).

A close comparison of the wording would indicate that the same time allocated to the reign of the ten horns, is the same amount of time that these horns use to turn on the harlot and make her "desolate." (Compare 17:12, 17 with 18:19)

Rev 17:12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Rev 18:19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

While a prophetic day equals one year (Eze. 4:6), the hour, if reckoned as a 24th part of the prophetic day, would be 15 literal days. However, hora, the Greek word for hour, can mean a short period of time, rather than a literal 24 hours. Whatever reckoning of time is used, there is one thing certain - "the final movements will be rapid ones."  (From a study by William Grotheer)

*******

The final movements will be rapid ones.

I did this as part of a study last night, a study I'm continuing today by the grace of God. I have to relate something that happened to me today in the grocery store.  I was wearing my "Got Jesus?" tee-shirt and a lot of times when I wear this people will react to it with various comments, so far all positive ones, thank God. Today a man in the story walked past the checkout I was at and turned and looked at me and said, "He's coming soon you know."  I smiled and told him that yes, I know. And he said, "Really, really soon." And I agreed again. Then He said (all the while walking down the check out to leave) Within 365 days." And I told him I hoped so!   It was a weirdly wonderful encounter that I haven't been able to shake.  I asked JoAnna (my daughter) who was with me, "What if he was an angel in disguise giving us a warning, an encouragement?"  We really don't know do we?  We can't know. I do know I haven't been able to get the encounter out of my thoughts, it was really intense. 

Jesus is coming soon! This is a fact! And you can shake your head all you want, you can point your finger and laugh at me and call me a fool. You can say that people have thought this since right after Jesus went to heaven and I'd say you're right they have, why should I be any different? Every single person that has had the hope of Jesus' second coming must believe He will come soon, we are living for HIM. We are living for His return to take us home with Him. We are truly ONLY pilgrims here on earth with our real home in heaven.  The Bible is full of cryptic prophecies that would encourage God's people throughout their time here on earth. One prophecy after another unfolding.  One of the most recent major prophecies fulfilled occurred in 1980 when the 'times of the gentiles was fulfilled'.  We know the prophecy tells us that the generation of that fulfillment would not PASS before Christ came.

Luk 21:24  … and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Luk 21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luk 21:26  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luk 21:27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luk 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luk 21:29  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
Luk 21:30  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
Luk 21:31  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Luk 21:32  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Because this prophecy was fulfilled in 1980 we know that generation will NOT pass- until Christ returns!

It's been 35 years since 1980, surely it won't be long now.

The final events WILL be rapid ones beyond a doubt.

15 days, a short period of time, as the end draws ever closer and events transpire one after the other, as we LIVE through the final prophecies may God keep our hearts and minds open to only His truth!  May we be ready for HIM when He returns! He IS returning! And He IS returning SOON, we must all comprehend this urgency, we must all seek to live for HIM as He wills, not as we will.

Truly we must ask ourselves how we should live BELIEVING our Savior is returning soon. I believe our answers will reveal to us where we need to pray more and more for Christ to work IN US HIS WILL through the Holy Spirit!

Please, Father! WE pray Come LORD JESUS, COME!

In His name always!

Amen!

The final movements will be rapid ones

Rev 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

I want to look at what a Biblical scholar has to say on this chapter-- Please bear with me as we study this more in-depth. It's too easy for us to just take the milk (the easy to digest bits) from the Bible and not the meat (that which is much harder to digest but nourishes all the more).

*******
"So much Adventist tradition has been built around the "angel" of Revelation 18, that it is most difficult to analyze just what is written without reading into the text some aspects of that tradition.

Rev 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel (((The "angel" of Revelation 18)))) come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

The message of this angel which comes down from heaven "having great authority" is similar to the message of the second angel of Revelation 14 with certain distinct differences.

Babylon has now become "the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird." (ver. 2) Instead of the proffered wine which Babylon made all nations drink (14:8), (((Rev 14:8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. ))))
the nations now have drunk (perfect tense), and the leaders ("kings") of the earth have committed fornication with her and the "merchants of the earth" have profited by their association. (18:3) The union between the combined forces of religion - "Babylon the great" - and the governments of earth is complete. The dire warning is that the power which activates these religious forces is the power of the devil. To all outward appearances, he has become the undisputed sovereign of the earth.

If we understand the symbolism of this angel the same as the symbolism of the three angels of Revelation 14, it represents a "movement" under the direction of this assigned angel of heaven who is given great authority to carry out his mandate. But when will this take place? Obviously from the text, it is just prior to the pouring out of the Seven Last Plagues, because these are spoken of as still future in the context (18:8).

Rev 18:8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Yet the message declares that the forces of evil have fixed their abode in Babylon - "Babylon ... is become the habitation of devils." (18:2) This prior event noted in the prophecy is the working of "the spirits of devils" as they gather "the kings of the earth and the whole world" to "the battle of that great day of God Almighty." (Rev. 16:14) (Keep in mind that Revelation 16:13-16 describes activity in "the last remnant of time" which is the justification of the sixth plague, verse 12.
The revelation of what the Harlot says in her heart –

"I sit a queen, and am no more a widow..." (18:7) - clearly defines the time of the message of this fourth angel as congruent with the "harlot" riding forth out of the wilderness on the scarlet colored beast. (17:3-5) While yet future, it is the immediate future! We can even now see the beginnings of this final confrontation.

Within the two chapters - the 17th and the 18th -certain time references are given. The ten horns "receive power as kings one hour with the beast." (17:12) While the harlot's plagues "come in one day" (18:8), in "one hour is [her] judgment come" (v. 10). "In one hour" her "great riches is come to nought" (v. 17). "In one hour is she made desolate" (v. 19). A close comparison of the wording would indicate that the same time allocated to the reign of the ten horns, is the same amount of time that these horns use to turn on the harlot and make her "desolate." (Compare 17:12, 17 with 18:19) While a prophetic day equals one year (Eze. 4:6), the hour, if reckoned as a 24th part of the prophetic day, would be 15 literal days. However, hora, the Greek word for hour, can mean a short period of time, rather than a literal 24 hours. Whatever reckoning of time is used, there is one thing certain - "the final movements will be rapid ones."

It is indicated that those on the side of the Lamb "are called, and chosen, and faithful." (17:14) Little do we realize what faithfulness in that hour will mean. To all appearances, Christ has come. Spiritual wonders convince the eye. ((( The FALSE CHRIST that many will fall victim too))))

The third millenium projects unity, peace and prosperity. For the human instruments to give the warning of the fourth angel will require an absolute confidence in the revelation of the Word contrary to all outward appearances. (((CONTRARY TO ALL OUTWARD APPEARANCES!!!!!!!))))

For those on the side of the Lamb will have to call the great return to "moral values" the working of Satan disguised as an angel of light.

Those who cannot stand for truth now, how can they expect to stand then?

The 18th Chapter closes with an illustration. A mighty angel takes a millstone and casts it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall the great city be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all." (18:21) Pen cannot describe, the carnage, the anarchy - "the violence" - which will ensue when the inhabitants of earth awaken to the fact that through religious deception they have lost all in the battle of life and have joined forces with Satan against Christ.

*******

The truth is-- FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT!!!!

Mat 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

FEW there be that find it!  We have to comprehend this!   We will NOT be in the majority! We will not be on Facebook with a whole slew of people liking our pages as we like theirs and all is well. This is so much more than the pseudo religion that sounds so incredible wonderful to our ears, our sense of justice, of rightness, of good.  So many have a desire for good things to happen, for a return to morals and right living and so on and so forth, but that desire does not extend to them the WHOLE TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. They ONLY want the parts of the truth that make them happy, that please them, that keep them in line with others of like mind. 

The great call to return to moral values- WE WILL HAVE TO CALL THIS the working of SATAN in disguise!  Imagine telling your friends that you do NOT want prayer back in schools. That you do NOT want the Ten Commandments posted in our court rooms. That you do NOT want to keep In God We Trust on our currency. That you do NOT want to keep 'One nation under God' in the pledge of allegiance.   Go on, imagine you're saying this to your friends and relatives that are great advocates for all of those things. What do you think they'd think of YOUR religion then, or YOUR walk with God. They certainly wouldn't think it is a good thing, not at all.

Now why don't we want these things?

We don't want CHURCH and STATE together- it is CHURCH mingled with STATE that created the Papacy- a powerful force that mingled religion and politics. The Beast of the Papacy, and now the Image of the Beast- combining church and state. Remember, people who receive the mark of the beast --

Rev 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

More tomorrow by the GRACE of GOD!

Please LORD we would ONLY believe YOUR truth! We would only be YOURS and keep the truth fully, wholly in the face of ALL that is to come, all through the HOLY SPIRIT, all through YOUR POWER ALONE! Please LORD, save us!

In the name of Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior now and forever-- amen!!!!!!!

Receive not of her plagues

Being a part of society it almost seems impossible to keep from sinning- to not partake of the sins all around us.   Being told to come out of that which is sinful is truth. Sin is appalling not something to be cherished and fought for, not something to be nurtured and loved. Sin separates us from God. 

Come out of anything that causes us to partake of sin, can we do that? And when we come away from sin where are we going to? We go to Christ! Christ alone can keep us from sin.  We have to separate ourselves form sin, to choose to be separated from sin by the Holy Spirit.

People will be receive plagues. All the movie makers, story writers can portray the plagues as fictional, but they are a part of the truth to come.

People suffer for sinning all the time. Why do we imagine people shouldn't suffer for willfully sinning? Why?  We do comprehend doing wrong and being punished. Even the most hardened person understands punishing  someone for wrong doing. Parents punish their children for wrong doing. Authority figures punish those they are in authority over. We punish each other when we feel slighted. Punishment doesn't have to be severe, it can be as simple as giving someone the silent treatment. The punishment for willfully sinning, choosing to serve sin, choosing to divorce yourself from God, from love, from salvation is going to be awful. It's supposed to be awful, it's supposed to get people to comprehend they are making the wrong choice. The truth understood is supposed to wake people up to their predicament. The old hell fire and damnation is truth, but it must be coupled with the LOVE of God!  Once the plagues arrive it's TOO LATE. We have to get out before the plagues fall. We can't wait for them to hit to believe. We can't feel a taste of the wrath of God and then decide to have faith, it'll be too late by then! 

How many people change when circumstances aren't in their favor, but would never consider changing when things are going the way they want them too?

God doesn't play that kind of game.  Evil plays that kind of game.

Rev 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

More on this tomorrow by the grace of GOD, through the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Amen.

Abba, Father, Adopted

Rom 8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Adopted.

Who needs to be adopted? Orphans. In fact unless you are an orphan you cannot be adopted, not really. Sometimes we talk about being adopted by others when in truth we have a family but others treat us like family, right? Being adopted is being taken in by someone other than your birth parents for whatever reason.

Adoption is usually a choice. I'm not sure anyone can force adoption- outside of personal pressure. I've never heard of anyone being forced to adopt a child. Adoption is a choice.

The Spirit of adoption by God, solidifies Him as our Heavenly Father.

The Jewish people loved to lay claim to Abraham being their Father and through Him, they have a special relationship with God. Jesus,  God's Son, the Messiah came and they rejected Him. Jesus then revealed that those who are not God's chosen are still capable of being His. Grafted into the Tree.

Rom_11:24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

The unclean become clean in God, through Jesus Christ.

Act_10:28  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Adopted by God, receiving the SPIRIT of ADOPTION, this is truth! Oh to receive the SPIRIT of adoption! The Holy Spirit alone can give to us what we need in Jesus Christ our Lord. Our Savior had the Holy Spirit- Joh 3:34  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

God gave the Savior, Jesus Christ the Spirit without measure!  Jesus was capable of overcoming the weakness of the flesh, the infirmity of the flesh He was given, by the Spirit! The Spirit that we can have in us as well! The Spirit of adoption!

Please, Abba, Father, please give us the Spirit without measure, not because we deserve it, we do not and NEVER will, but because we choose You, we love You! Help us to love You! Help us to believe You. Please, Father God in Heaven, please save us!

All through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior!

Now and forever!

Amen!

We live in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation

We live in the midst of crooked and perverse nation. Yet the majority of people would lay claim to their normalcy. The majority of people would be quick to say that things and people are mostly good- that there are only a few bad apples in the bunch.  The truth is the majority of the people are wrong. We want to believe that people are mostly good, we do. We want this to be the truth for not only our household, our families, our neighbors, our towns, our cities, our states, our countries and our continents.

When we say it's not truth, when we label most people in our world as crooked and perverse we put a target on ourselves. That target is one that will have people asking us who do we think we are to say such things. That target will have us questioning ourselves because we don't want to be among those who think they are in the few, the elect, because we hear a small voice in our conscience saying if we even think we might be among the few, the elect then that's conceit, that's arrogance, that's pride and those things knock you right out of being in the few and elect, right?  It's almost as if we are afraid to believe the truth, we're afraid to call ourselves God's, in truth- sinful and forgiven, truth seekers and repentant, sighing and crying for all the abominations going on around us. We can't be blind to the abominations.  We can't be blind to the truth.  We can't placate our sinning selves by telling ourselves that our sins and the sins of others mean nothing. We cannot believe in God's word and believe that the majority of people are God's. And while we can NEVER judge another person's eternal life, we have to be able to recognize sin. Only in recognizing sin do we know what to seek repentance and forgiveness for. If we refuse to recognize sin for what it is we are in danger of allowing ourselves to be blind to truth, not wanting to see.  We are accountable for every bit of truth we reject.

As we talked about yesterday- the majority of people don't want to believe they have a Creator who demands obedience and is love.  They've perverted love to mean accepting every sin as good, when love in truth is accepting every sinner as good while rejecting sin.  Every sinner has the potential to be forgiven. But nowadays we want to call sin good and it rarely matters what sin it is. We don't want to point out the covetousness, the selfishness, the anger, the lusts surrounding us as sinful. We label them with other names and call them good. It's good to want to have things others have, it spurs you to make your life productive so you can have what others have. It's good to be selfish, you are the only one who will look out for yourself, you need to desire more for yourself than others, no one else is going to. It's good to be angry, you've every right to be discontent over things and reveal that discontent in anger. It's good to have lusts, they give spice to life, they're a part of us, they're natural as breathing.   We tell ourselves all kinds of lies to bury the truth. We live in a world of self-delusion and we do so all the while patting ourselves on the back for our superior intellect and beliefs.  We are too smart to be duped by silly Christianity. We are good people all on our own without any label.  These are the things we believe and hold fast to. We lie and believe our lies to be truth because when we come face to face with the real truth it's appalling to our sinful selves that wish to be saved in our sins.  We don't want to believe sin even exists, it's just easier. We don't want to believe we are accountable to anyone other than ourselves.  We are so wrapped up in our self being the center of all things, that we can't allow ourselves to believe there is a God over us. We refuse to believe there is a standard set by God that we are called to live up to. We refuse to believe a God would let horror in all its many aspects exist at all. 

The truth is- God's love is our only real hope.

Without God and His salvation plan, there is no eternal hope but rather existing briefly, enduring pain in all its forms and enjoying pleasures that are a best temporary.  Life is a struggle- it is enduring. To truly believe that this life is all there is, is an awful way to exist. To believe that we aren't accountable daily for our sins, is to believe a lie.  We are allowed to choose our delusions, Satan has millions of them and is constantly inventing new delusions to suit us individually. The truth isn't welcome to the one who embraces lies.

Do we live in a wicked and perverse nation- that means truthfully the majority of people in that nation are wicked and perverse?

Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 
Php 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

We live in a wicked and perverse nation.

We live in a world ruled by the wicked and perverse.

And we MUST hold forth the word of life. We must shine as lights in the world. And not become a part of the world and all its lies and deceptions. The world will call us hateful and liars, the world will believe we are the perverse and wicked. And there will be many so called Christians that are perverse and wicked, and this will give some a reason to consider all Christians perverse and wicked.  We must hold fast to our Savior no matter what. We must hold fast to the hope found in Him and Him alone. 

Please Father in heaven, please keep us in YOU! We need Your truth and only Your truth! Help us not to be deceived! Let the Holy Spirit live in us teaching us, praying for us, sustaining us! We would be Yours!
All through our Savior, our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Amen.

From love we obey love!

Why should the unrepentant wicked be spared? Just because they were born?  Is being born the sole right to inherit eternal life? Did we have any hand in our own birth? Did we create ourselves? Because we didn't *ask* to be born should this give us the consolation prize of eternal life? Sort of like- how horrible that we were born into this awful world that we didn't ask to be born into so give us an eternal life of goodness, and no awfulness, to make up for our not asking for being born. Is that how it is supposed to work? Everyone should be given eternal life simply because they were born, they were created by someone else and not by choice, is this right?

What audacity!

Our lives are NOT scripted! We ALL, every single one of us have had to make choices between right and wrong. (Every single one of us mentally capable of making choices between right and wrong, there are those who aren't mentally capable- those who are too young, those who are mentally incapable through genetics/accidents etc.)   As we grew up from little children we began to understand the difference between right and wrong, yes? As we grew up we began to reason within ourselves the reason why things were considered right and wrong, yes? We were taught consequences of wrong decisions, sometimes because we were punished by those trying to teach us right and wrong, and sometimes because our wrong choice had results that were very unfavorable and not at all what we desired. Before we are capable of knowing right and wrong and capable of making that choice we are NOT accountable for our actions, how could we be? How can a person be accountable for something they are not capable of understanding?   However, once a person does comprehend the difference between right and wrong and chooses wrong over right, they are accountable for those decisions.

The first human sin was a choice, a decision made to disobey, to not believe, to do something other than what they were told to do.

Should God have destroyed His creation of humanity because they disobeyed? 

There was a test of obedience and the humans failed that test.

The humans were AIDED in their decision though, they were INFLUENCED, they were TEMPTED. God did not induce them towards disobedience.

Would humans have disobeyed if they'd been left to their own devices? We'll never know will we.

Perhaps because we were influenced- tempted by that outside influence, we were allowed a second opportunity to obey. We weren't outright destroyed, something none of us can fully fathom just because we do and have existed for over 6000 years.  But for a moment think about being destroyed. Some have said that God should have destroyed us completely, end of story, end of humanity.  But they can only have that thought because they exist. Kind of like, easy to say but you weren't there and you aren't God so you couldn't possibly make that call.

Any good parent, and yes, I said GOOD parent because there are a whole slew of bad ones- any good parent comprehends wanting their child to live, to grow up into a contented, cared for, caring, loving adult who has a great balance in life. A good parent wants the BEST for their child and that doesn't necessarily mean they want their child to have riches untold, or fame, or anything overly materialistic. A good parent wants their child to be loving and to love, able to handle life and all its ups and downs without succumbing to anything detrimental to their wellbeing. A good parent does not want to destroy their child when they commit their first act of knowledgeable disobedience. A good parent does not want to destroy their child- ever because they have the hope their child will one day have that life of wellbeing. And this is US as children grown to adulthood full of past disobediences ourselves, not wanting our offspring to suffer. Yet, we as parents also know that even the best, most well-grounded parents have born children who go on to became horrific adults, it happens.  And yes, there has been the awful thought from these parents of wishing their child had never been born so they couldn't have committed the horrors, and they've wished their own children death so the horror can end- it has happened, but before they wished those things they wished most of all that their child could repent of their horrors and change, turn away from committing any more horrific acts. They wanted their child to live but not in the horror induced by the child.  This is all comprehension on a HUMAN level- human thoughts, human understanding.

God the Father is not human. Jesus was NOT human when the world was created. The Holy Spirit is not human.  These Gods are deities! And yes, one of these three Gods did choose to take on human flesh but this choice was made long before the God we know as our Savior did take on human flesh. Our Savior, NOT in human flesh, was there at the beginning and was part of creating us and all things. We cannot forget we are CREATED BEINGS!

We answer to our Creators!

Our Creators decided not to destroy us but rather give us another choice - another chance to obey or disobey.  And because the ultimate objective, the original objective of creation- was one of pure love this was STILL the plan.  Our Creators did not want a world filled with ENDLESS disobedience, that truly would be horrific. Our Creators want a world filled with ENDLESS love possible only through obedience, only through the comprehension that we are CREATED BEINGS - created for the purpose of love! Created for the comprehension of the pure love found ONLY in our CREATORS. Some call obedience slavery but it's not! A child obeying a parents command is not a slave to their parent. Obeying is not slavery! Obedience towards one who only ever has our wellbeing first and foremost in their minds, that stems from love, that is a true love, a comprehension that from love we obey love.

Psa 147:6  The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

The wicked humans will be ultimately destroyed and their wickedness is their choice, they ALONE have chosen their path of wickedness. They have made the choice not to truly love, not to obey love. They have made the decision not to choose love sometime in their life and holdfast to that choice so that they KNOW what they are giving up - love- and freely give up love.  NONE of the wicked would be happy in eternal life, in eternal love, their discontent would be a part of them forever. It is out of LOVE that the wicked will be completely and utterly destroyed so that they are non-existent, they never would have been content in the obedience of love. 

Please, Father God in heaven, please we would we would obey love! We would obey YOU! All through Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ is it possible for us to obey love, because He is love, and He obeyed love and wants us to obey love! By His grace may we live through the faith given to us by Him, through the Holy Spirit right here and right now! Lord we believe! Help Thou our unbelief!

All in the name of Jesus Christ, now and forever our Lord and Savior!

Amen!

My constant prayer

The following is my constant prayer-

Psa 51:9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Psa 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Beautiful words-

Mic 7:18  Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

Eze 11:20  That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Eze 11:21  But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

I need the stony heart out of my flesh, I need a heart of flesh!

Please Father, please I need the Holy Spirit! I ask You for the Holy Spirit, the Comforter! Please I need the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in me, I need the Spirit of Christ! I long to be Christ's! Please Lord, please.

We all long for the Holy Spirit, to be found in You! We need our heart made new! We need our sins cast far from us, we need our hearts made new! 

You and You alone have the power to give us the Holy Spirit, please bless us! We are so lost without You.

By Faith we will trust in YOU and only YOU above all others!

Please.

In the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord!

Now and forever.

AMEN!
