The ultimate window of eternity and our God to me is as the Word of God says: God can save you from your sins if you allow HIM to come into your life but if you will not go His Way through the salvation of Jesus Christ that has been mapped out-- then judgment will ultimately come!This is a sweet message to all who will be willing and obedient? Who will abide in His Holy Tabernacle-those who have clean hands and a pure heart!! Word up!!!
This subject of judgment is not about doom and gloom to those who obey but you must understand the TRUTH in the Word of God so you can BE THE WORD OF GOD-walking and talking MIRACLE of LIFE in CHRIST!! BUT if NOT-well-(there is always a WELL EXPERIENCE) then go sit down again and be taught the Word till it gets in you and you can get up in the power and might that is there for you!!!
Jer. 19:14,15 vs 14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet(a place of the valley of slaughter who would be killed there),whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house; and said to all the people. vs 15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
This is not to guide you into a "FEAR" mode but a fear of GOD mode that just says- Come Follow me, believe and receive and you will-shall inherit all things! We are not talking about "STUFF" but we are talking about the true riches that are in Christ Jesus! What you really set your heart on is this-what comes out your mouth will tell it!!Well you say, we are IN HIM when we ask Him into our hearts but the domain has to be that you put Jesus(HIM) on the throne of your hearts and everything (THEN) shall be added unto us!
We except Jesus into our hearts-then immediately have an expected end (Jer 29:11) which is our beginning not realizing that here are Ways of God that we must give way to or going to the LIGHT of HIS GLORY FOR!!
Trusting that you will receive Christ then once you accept HIM in His " totality " with all that He IS and all that HE does and will do: you will be so IN LOVE with Him that no matter what comes- you will not want to leave HIM EVER!!LOVE will have you to love the unlovely and want the best for them too! That portion is growing in grace and knowing in the depths of your spirit and soul WHO (GOD) LOVE IS with all the up's and down's that we might encounter!!Who knows tomorrow-GRACE AND MERCY that walk with you and that is by love. This is not about LAW- we are free from the law of sin and death to obey God and walk in His Commandments with LOVE for HIM!!
Will you hurt the one you love? Sometimes judgment comes very fast-He is quick and powerful-Heb. 4:12 For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. How did you think you could hide what you thought of even me-the Lord says, He knows everything about us-He made us and when we come into covenant with Him-He makes sure He is doing the RIGHT, JUST Thing for and about us! It is a shame before God that those that are witnesses for His Name who profane or slander that HOLY NAME by not upholding IT with truth and righteousness! Father God is our only judge and HE gave that power to Jesus and Jesus is not judging us-He is saving us from sin! He knows what is right for us and has given all power to Jesus for His Word sake so that as we enter into covenant with Him-we can take His WORD and use IT as GOLD in the midst of the Fire and we being tried -do come out ourselves as pure GOLD!!Honor GOD and HE will honor you-respect God and He will respect you and honor His Word above His Name and in that you will have liberty and justice for all!!
We are talking about the Word and the wars and rumors of wars-the end of the expected end and the new beginnings for me-NOW YOU as you follow Christ and then you! It is not me first-it is first things first then you follow Christ!! Lay aside every weight and all those things that hold you back from receiving the greatness that you have entered into already! You have not walked "in it" because of blockers but God will unblock and unlock heaven on earth you as you say Yes to His Will and Yes to His Way!!
Moving on in the WORD of GOD!!!As this life passes with each tick of the clock all too quickly; we have Jesus telling the disciples and the people of God in this day; that He had to leave but will return again. Here is a portion of the scripture:
John 16:19-22 vs 19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
vs 20 Verily, verily I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
vs 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
vs 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. So we know that He had to leave so He could come back for His own some day!!
Now we know that Jesus, died on the cross as IS( on going) the plan of God for our redemption. He then was buried and ON the third day rose again and was walking around on the earth before He actually ascended to heaven but He already had gotten the VICTORY FOR US!!!
Here is the scripture reference:
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethern, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Then jumping down to verse 22, 23
vs 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
vs 23 Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. So everything that was in the plan of God for their lives and ours was and is done at the exact moment that God speaks or breathes on us!! God through Jesus Christ will always give us what we need and there will always be doubter's and those that don't believe but YOU seek God for what is right for you!!!
John 16:7-11 vs 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
vs 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
vs 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
vs 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more
vs 11 O judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
There is so much Word that explains just what is truth that I know NOW you SEE and HEAR what God has for you!!
Ps. 12: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
To further intensify the truth that God is able to save or judge, depending on your living! I want to go to a portion of Elijah's life: The king that was reigning at the time was Ahab who was the 8th king of Israel and the word of God says that he was more wicked than all the kings before him!
This is where God enters Elijah on the work assignment as a special servant of Jehovah to execute judgment yet speaks life to another!God wants to save but will not continue to tolerate sin and rebellion-only He knows WHAT TIME IT IS FOR EACH OF US! This meaning-chose this day whom you will serve!!
If you had the power of Elijah operating in your life-God would hide you too, for His work and purposes!!! When I think of how awesomely and intricately that God places his servants into a picture, I really am quite amazed. Shouldn't you be set into a picture too, or are you? Have you thought of the circumstances that you have gone through and why God had you there? Was it for yourself or for other people?
John 15:7-14 vs 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
vs 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
vs 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
vs 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
vs 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.[
vs 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
vs 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
vs 14 Ye are my freinds, if ye do whatsoever I command you. That is God- He is so amazing that you almost are still so astonished and excited every time you hear and see another one of His miracles that manifest through circumstances. That is why I have chosen the next biblical scripture to bring out the impossible and placement: when you think you are being left OUT-you actually are the only one God is using in the land( where you are placed)!!!
I Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
After the utterance of a word by which the genial influences of heaven were to be laid under arrest for a series of years, it became necessary that a hiding place should be provided for Elijah, that he might escape from the violence of those in high places, and from the importunities of others, who might try to prevail upon his pity. Such a hiding place(PS;91) was found for him beside the brook of Cherith, that flowed into the Jordan. There if you know the story; he was fed by ravens what was sufficient to eat and he drank of the brook. The brook eventually dried up so God commanded a widow woman to take over.
In Luke 4:25-27 Jesus speaks : vs 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land
vs 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. vs 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elias the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
I Kings 17: 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
Brought by divine direction to the place and to the woman, he found her near the gate of the city, gathering a few sticks to prepare her last meal, that she and her son might thereafter die.
In the confidence of faith he bids her go and bake the bread as she intended, but in the first instance to bring a portion of it, with a little water, to him, ""demanding such faith from her as he himself exercised toward God."" And he added, as the ground for her belief and his own demand,
We have to add the obedience to this word also- I Kings 17: 14-16 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
vs 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
vs16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. This is proving sonship by the power of God in the life of the prophet or servant being used.What blessing words can speak by God in His power! All power belongs to God!! So shall it be in the house -the glory of the Lord shall meet with the former and latter rain!!!
The wicked Ahab and wife Jezebel through their wicked devices got a judgment call. I King 21:20-29 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me? O mine enemy? And he agsweed, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord.
vs 21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel
vs 22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
vs 23 And of Jezebel also spake the Lord saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
vs 24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
vs 25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
vs 26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
vs 27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent this clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
vs 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
vs 29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? becasue he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
