Anastasis

'But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”' Luke 10:20 (NLT)

'Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.  Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”John 11:25-26 (NLT)

Resist the temptation of pride for all the victories over the enemy. Pride goes before destruction. a haughty spirit before a fall. For doesn't God resist the proud and shows favor to the humble? In this, I am encouraged to find joy in what is proper, with fear and trembling, and that is the fact that my name is written in the Lamb's book of life and not that I have discovered the mighty power that I now possess in His name. 

Rejoice. For a life well lived is God's Will. Rejoice. For a life not wasted, but rather, lived for God's Glory blesses God. Rejoice. For a life that blesses God lasts and it is eternal. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He is the Resurrecting King. And we shall rejoice in His Name. And we shall sing praises to the King for ever! 

Dear Father. We praise the name of Jesus, that every day, tens of thousands of people are being saved in Jesus's name all over the world and heaven rejoices at the sound of it because their names are registered in heaven and they will never ever die!  In Jesus's name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

Up is Down Times

Image
‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having ...
