EAGERLY awaiting JESUS

 

JESUS declared:

Luke 21:27-28

King James Version

27 And then shall they see the Son of man 

coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, 

then look up, and lift up your heads; 

for your redemption draweth nigh.

Surely, you've noticed how fleeting face, fame, friendships, and fortune are.

For the true believer, the world cannot offer any delight, for the born again has seen through all that illusion.

Satan keeps our souls focused on earth when we should really be worshiping the LORD of HEAVEN.

The enemy gives us all sorts of enticements and excitements, keeping our souls in sin.

Many churches have been corrupted.

They don't even talk about the end times.

It's all "self", and "prosperity", and a denial of truth.

We only need to look at how depraved the world is.

Do you really want to remain in such a world?

Isaiah 5:20

King James Version

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; 

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; 

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The born again looks to the promises of CHRIST:

John 14:2-4

King James Version

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, 

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 

that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

We eagerly await the imminence of the Rapture:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We look forward to the New Jerusalem:

Revelation 21:1-7

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth 

were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, 

nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS is what we believers want.

Who are believers but those who believe JESUS, the SON of GOD, has come, and will come again.

Believers are tasked to share the gospel with you.

Which, in all its simplicity is explained by apostle Paul:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

King James Version

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you 

the gospel which I preached unto you, 

which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, 

if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, 

unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

Things of the world have no appeal for us.

We have no ambition to make a mark in this world.

We have no desire to be loved, be popular, be liked, be adored.

We have no desire to accumulate titles, money, or possessions.

We only have a desire to be right with the LORD, and to sin no more.

GLORY belongs to GOD alone.

We must worship Him alone.

Everything JESUS taught us, we take to heart.

SPIRIT and Scripture help us remember all those teachings:

John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

We are like children, eagerly awaiting JESUS to take up His church, His body, of which we are.

Thus, our focus are on these:

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Acts 3:19

King James Version

19 Repent ye therefore, 

and be converted, 

that your sins may be blotted out, 

when the times of refreshing shall come 

from the presence of the Lord.

Romans 8:22-23

King James Version

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth 

and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 

which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, 

waiting for the adoption, to wit, 

the redemption of our body.

Philippians 3:9-12

King James Version

9 And be found in him, 

not having mine own righteousness, 

which is of the law, but that which is 

through the faith of Christ, 

the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, 

and the power of his resurrection, 

and the fellowship of his sufferings, 

being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain 

unto the resurrection of the dead.

12 Not as though I had already attained, 

either were already perfect: 

but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that 

for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:1-6

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid 

with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, 

then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members 

which are upon the earth; 

fornication, uncleanness, 

inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, 

and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God 

cometh on the children of disobedience:

Lastly, know the world for what it is:

1 John 2:15-17

King James Version

15 Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in the world. 

If any man love the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: 

but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Put your hope in JESUS alone.

Peace in life, and victory over sin, can only come through the MIGHTY GOD, and the PRINCE of PEACE.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

THE NARROW GATE THROUGH WHICH FEW ENTER: THE HARD TRUTH OF JESUS

The PEACE solution

 Isaiah 60:1-3

King James Version

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, 

and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, 

the darkness shall cover the earth, 

and gross darkness the people: 

but the Lord shall arise upon thee, 

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, 

and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

We thought hard about this.

How there can be peace in this world.

How people can think clearly, fairly, and justly.

How nations can be safe again.

We sifted through much material.

Looking into what's happening in the world.

How nations are beginning to secure their borders.

Which we actually encouraged, nearly a year ago.

SPIRIT and I created "FORTIFY your FORTRESS" then.

Apart from nations, we also encouraged you secure your soul.

Secure your families, your schools, your communities, your cities, your governments.

CHRIST's enemy is up to no good.

He NEVER was into any good.

Anything that is close to GOD's heart, Satan will destroy.

Thus, you need to "fortify".

You need to "wake up".

You need to see how far the "infiltration" has gone.

You need to "sift" the wheat, from the chaff.

You need to "review", "rebuild", "regroup", "restore", "replenish".

You need to "secure" your "borders".

You need to "repent".

We knew there was going to be trouble.

We knew borders aren't safe anymore.

We knew infiltration will reach its peak.

We know trouble brews at every corner.

We know people are "asleep".

We know many don't care.

Forcibly pushing their left, and woke, agenda.

Attacking anyone who didn't think as they do.

Not realizing they've laid their soul bare to Satan.

The result?

The enemy has held 

the whole world "hostage"

And then Trump "happened".

The outspoken president-elect fought for common sense.

Finally, someone of the right mind!

A trait the world needs so badly today.

Trump wants real change.

He's had enough of nonsense.

I don't know about you, but I feel the same way, too.

He wants to secure America's borders.

He wants nothing to do with the left, woke, and crime.

Many leaders pay attention to him now.

Where before they mocked him, now they marvel at him.

And they want to jump onto his train.

GOD gave him this second chance to do better.

As we said, only Trump has the "stomach" for it.

Now, nations are beginning to see their follies, too.

Now, they don't want the left, the woke, and militants.

Now, they want to secure their borders.

Now, they have tougher laws on migrants, immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers.

Now, they don't want dubious characters anymore.

While before, they welcomed anyone, and everyone.

With their leaders careless, and unthinking.

Trump, Elon, and Vivek took their cue from Hungary and Argentina.

Whose leaders "slashed" at waste, and foolishness.

How can you tell the good, from the bad?

How can you tell who's legit, or a terrorist?

Is it too late to "clean" up our nations?

Not if you do one thing:

PRAY to be BORN AGAIN.

That's actually TWO things:

Pray.

Be born again.

Why do I say "pray"?

Because you need to seek GOD.

You need to talk to Him.

You need to repent of your sins.

But how can you know your sins, unless you're born again?

Only GOD can make you born again.

Only His SPIRIT can convert you.

Only His SPIRIT can teach you about JESUS.

Once you learn about JESUS, He will teach you about GOD.

Then you will have the peace you desire.

Because it first starts with you.

On the choice you make.

How can you promote peace, if you're not peaceful?

How can you know truth, if you don't have GOD's SPIRIT in you?

How can you promote justice, if you don't know GOD's laws?

It's all logical, sequential, and consequential.

All the peace, truth, love, honor, and justice you desire can only be taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Through JESUS.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

Who only taught us GOD's will.

And gave GOD glory alone.

That all conform to those.

JESUS represented GOD on earth.

He was GOD, made man.

He was the LAST emissary.

When will you begin to listen?

When will you see GOD's logic?

When will you want to be saved?

Today is the best day to make that decision.

PRAY to be BORN AGAIN.

GOD, and good things, can come from that.

Commit to be humble, teachable, and thus, childlike.

I can't have told you all these things until, and unless, I went through the process.

I started with self first.

I was tired of sin, and sought GOD.

Then, after five months, He showed up.

He made me born again in 2019.

Today, we celebrate our 64 months!

This is our post, to honor such a marvelous day!

SPIRIT and I have 111 blogs and 24 ebooks for GOD's glory.

All teaching material about being born again.

And knowing the benefits of becoming one.

Making us know the ways of GOD, and man.

With Scripture attesting to all that.

Nations come, nations go.

Only the WORD of GOD remains.

Prophet Isaiah said it:

Isaiah 40:8 

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, 

the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God 

shall stand for ever.

JESUS said it:

Luke 21:33 

King James Version

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: 

but my words shall not pass away.

That's why I'm peaceful.

I know GOD's laws.

I know man's ways.

I know the world's ways.

I know Satan's ways.

The Bible told me everything.

Past, present, future.

My peace lies in JESUS.

Who happens to be Scripture.

 Isaiah 5:20

King James Version

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; 

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; 

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

As the days go by, the world seems crazier.

It's as if Satan was given free rein, to reign.

He can bulldoze his way through a market, where people shop.

He can send rockets and missiles to Israel's cities.

He can make outgoing leaders create one more foolish act.

He can create crime, where he will.

Chaos, cruelty, and confusion proliferate.

The everyday man asks if there's GOD.

The atheist doesn't believe in any.

The born again knows He exists.

All the while, GOD observes:

Psalm 14:2 

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

In answer, apostle Paul writes this:

Romans 3:11 

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:12 

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.

And yet, by GOD's very power, we exist.

The born again know what GOD can do:

Zechariah 4:6

King James Version

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, 

This is the word of the Lord 

unto Zerubbabel, saying, 

Not by might, 

nor by power, 

but by my spirit, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

All this power, He gave His Son.

Ephesians 1:19-23

King James Version

19 And what is the exceeding greatness 

of his power to us-ward who believe, 

according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, 

when he raised him from the dead, 

and set him at his own right hand 

in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, 

and dominion, and every name that is named, 

not only in this world, 

but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, 

and gave him to be the head 

over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, 

the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

If we are to survive these dark days, we are to trust in JESUS alone:

Psalm 2:12

King James Version

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, 

and ye perish from the way, 

when his wrath is kindled but a little. 

Blessed are all they 

that put their trust in him.

PANIC is demonic

 Isaiah 41:10

King James Version

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: 

be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; 

yea, I will uphold thee 

with the right hand of my righteousness.

Many have no idea who, or what, causes fear in us.

Is it a real person, or an "entity"?

Is it just circumstances?

Or is there more?

Find out as you keep reading.

Panic is understandable.

But it can be destructive.

Panic sets in when you feel everything's out of control.

That you don't have power over anything.

That you're sheep being led to your slaughter.

That everything is useless, hopeless, fruitless.

That everything will fall upon your head.

So, your mind imagines all sorts of things.

Literally taking the better of you.

And surely, nothing ever positive.

Obviously not a healthy way to live.

Hardly productive, and proactive.

Creating unnecessary stress upon you.

And surely upon others, too.

Especially if you've gone overboard.

And no one can speak sense into you anymore.

Your whole body shutting down.

Your whole system refusing to function.

What good would that do, for yourself, and others?

Instead of being a solution, you became the problem.

When there's already a problem you need to deal with.

You added yourself to it.

How can you possibly function?

How can you help?

How can you be of use to others?

You can't.

You have become your own additional problem.

In these end times, all the more we need GOD.

Only He has power over EVERYTHING.

Romans 13:1 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.

Further, we are battling against forces that aim to destroy us.

In whatever way it can.

Especially bombarding our "temples".

The body is the "TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT".

Expect non-stop attack from CHRIST's enemy.

Encompassing both believers, and non-believers alike.

Boy, how the enemy would want you destroyed!

You have no idea his ways, means, and methods.

But we've written about that here.

We are all in spiritual warfare every moment.

Satan looks for a loophole.

A weakness in you.

An opening wherein he can corrupt.

He doesn't do anything to you that he's not already seen.

A certain weakness.

A penchant.

A predisposition.

A lust.

Many are not physically, psychologically, and emotionally equipped to fight his attacks.

But the true born again is equipped for such a battle.

We have the WORD of GOD to protect us, and keep us on track.

We have Scripture to feed our soul.

As constant attacks are upon our soul.

Especially when you're "asleep" in your soul.

And yes, when you sleep for the night.

When "attacked", say the simplest, childlike prayer:

"Please help me, GOD!"

When you're not with, and of GOD, you're vulnerable to such attacks.

You won't have the proper "arsenal", or protection.

Confusion will set in.

Panic will follow.

Chaos is the result.

You will literally unleash your own hell.

You can cause harm upon others.

You can cause confusion in others.

You can cause panic in others.

Now, it's one whole CAULDRON of collective chaos.

EXACTLY as Satan wanted.

And he didn't even have to lift a finger.

All he did was "play" with your mind.

Feed upon your emotions.

Make you gang up on each other.

Bite each other like rabid dogs.

And yet, nothing gets done.

The problem has not been solved.

Worse, you've all become part of the problem.

You may even lose sight of what the original problem was.

Now, you have more problems to deal with.

Satan's fingerprint, for sure.

What is panic but a whole conflagration of emotions?

You imagine what's not there.

You create what you should not create.

You imagine all sorts of "scenarios".

Your "what ifs" will not stop.

Your mind will collapse upon itself.

Again, EXACTLY as Satan wants.

Of course, he's up to more.

He wants your body to follow.

With your mind out of control, your body will follow suit.

Your system may crash.

You may fall into "shock".

You will allow yourself to.

Just to escape, and not deal with it.

Hoping for someone else to solve it.

You will collapse.

You literally "shut down".

All because you think you can't handle what you think will come.

What do you think will come?

As if you know what will.

Only GOD knows.

That's why JESUS lambasted even His disciples:

Matthew 17:17

King James Version

17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? 

bring him hither to me.

That's why people get sick.

Mentally, emotionally, and physically.

The body is a beautiful system created by GOD.

But when panic sets in, all come crashing down.

We forget our divine heritage.

Your circuits go haywire.

No amount of talk will get you back.

Only a true born again is equipped to fight this spiritual battle.

Only because we know who "dunnit".

We are equipped to fight such battles.

Relax, and TRUST GOD.

Who knows what's to come, but the LORD?

Who knows Satan's machinations, but the LORD?

Who knows man's weaknesses, but the LORD?

SPIRIT and Scripture tell us all these things.

Find your comfort in CHRIST.

The LORD JESUS offers PEACE.

Not just for the moment, but forever.

A true born again knows JESUS is the ONLY real thing.

He is fulfillment of Scripture.

He is fulfillment of GOD's POWER on earth.

He embodies everything GOD is.

Satan will weave lies, chaos, corruption, deception, and destruction.

He will pit people, against the other.

He will make your mind, mincemeat.

He will laugh at your confusion.

He will gloat over your personal chaos.

He will celebrate when you've "infected" others.

That's how you know he's "gotten into you".

From that point on, you're subject to his influence.

Be not afraid, though.

JESUS cares for each sheep.

Luke 15:3-7

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

or I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.

GOD assigned people for JESUS to save.

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:39

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

Beware panic attacks.

That's Satan hooking his filthy claws upon your cranium.

With that very hook, your panic will hook others, too.

Hasn't it been said, "Panic is contagious"?

Now, you're all one triumphant harvest for this dark nemesis.

Only by being born again can you be free.

For you will only trust JESUS.

You will live by the Bible.

Nothing can faze you.

Nothing can cause fear upon you.

Most of all, you're FREE of panic.

Isn't that great comfort for you, or anyone?

FIND your FAITH in JESUS, dear friends!

He is our ONLY HOPE.
