SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

 

The marines represent the pride of the military of the United States of America. They are always the first to go into combat and the last to leave.

I saw a billboard sign on the road to work. It had a picture of a beautiful saber held by a Marine. It is something to behold. The Marine saber represents the might of the United States of America.

The words over this saber on the billboard represent the creed of every American. “Earned, Never Given”. This is the way of mankind.

JESUS uses the same 3 words but in a different sequence.
“Given, NEVER Earned” This is the way of our Triune God.

I say the following all the time to anyone that has ears to hear…
I am not a Jew, or a Catholic, or an Episcopalian or a Lutheran. I am not a Methodist, or a Presbyterian or a Baptist. I am not a Charismatic nor am I a Pentecostal. For that matter I am not Yellow, Brown, Red, Black or White.
I am none of the above.

What I am, is a Child of I AM and a Follower of HIS SON JESUS.

Listen for the  a TRUMPET and Stop worrying about everything…JESUS is coming to take you to your new home very soon! Live in HIS SHALOM; because JESUS HOLDS YOUR KEYS !

CHRISTmas Blessings

May El Gibbor, the Lord God Almighty cover you and your family with His Wings of protection.

May Yeshua, the Lord Jesus, continue to provide your family with His Grace and Mercy as you make HIM the center of your relationships.

May the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit bless and keep you and your family as He lights the steps of your path all the days of your life and all the way home to heaven.

Best Wishes to you on behalf of the Lord of Light, Yeshua the KING of the Jews, Jesus the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Remember there is no CHRISTmas without HIS CROSS.

Wishing you His Shalom this CHRISTmas  HOLY  DAY.

The God of Shalom…Peace

 

Do you have a quiet spot where you can withdraw from the world around you? A place where the only sound you hear is your heart beating and the rush of wind coming out of your lungs.

A place where the sound of silence is deafening. A place, not where you go to meet with God, but a place where God is always waiting patiently to greet you with open arms.

Jesus described this personal place as a prayer closet, a small place, where we go to be alone with God, a place of prayer. It is a chosen place where the image bearer of God goes to meet with the one whose image we are called to reflect to the world around us.

Unfortunately I come to this place, this special bitter sweet place very little. As I reflect on my days it seems of all the things that I am; what I am not is a man of prayer.

The reason for this is that through the years I have prayed mainly in desperation. The prayers have almost always been “Me-Centric”…about my needs and wants. The answers to my prayers rarely seemed to come quickly. More often than not the painful situations continued on for a long time.

I always wanted answers now not later. I waited for a cool cup of water from the hand of God. Instead the desert heat dried out my tongue until it cleaved to the roof of my mouth and my words stopped as the deafening sound of silence continued.

I have learned something from the Silence of God. My attitude has been reshaped to take comfort from the words …This Too Shall Pass. Now, rather than pray for what I want to happen in any given situation; I give it over to God and ask for His strength to bear the burden till it passes.

In so doing I have learned the best way to wait on Him is to Worship and Praise HIM for who He is. This lifts the clouds of anxiety and the SON shines again into my soul. Our prayer life when tied to our worship feeds our faith. Then when the answer comes the invisible God becomes real to me in a greater way.

The relentless waves of bitterness that wear me down always leave me as I turn my eyes towards His Throne. I know that our ultimate end is a new beginning in a new land into which we who believe in Jesus will enter a world we cannot even begin to envision or imagine.

No longer will we live in a country governed by Democracy. Instead we will live in a new united universe governed by a Sovereign King who makes everything new just for you. A place where the King will personally escort you to the personal space He has created for you. Have you met this Visible King who calls your name? The King who stepped out of eternity and walked upon the Earth that He created among the people He created?

You, as a Believer know that God left a seed of life in your heart that need’s watering. It is a kernel of Truth that will only grow if you nurture it within you by reading His Word. You can hear the voice of God today, but only through the written words He has spoken to you recorded in His Book. He only speaks there, within the context of His Words. His truth about each of us is buried deep within us. It is like a dream that is so real, yet recedes back into the mists of your inner mind when you awake.

This Visible God came to Earth 2,000 years ago to save you from Himself (His Holy Wrath towards sinners). This Visible God came to proclaim His Invisible Kingdom. A growing Kingdom that resides within the hearts of His called out ones. His Ecclesia…His Born Again True Church of Believers who have put their Faith in Jesus, the Son of God.

Every one of us would admit that life is hard and its challenges can be a severe burden. Yet, The Lord is there all around you waiting for you to ask HIM to share your burden and make it light. He never sleeps. He watches over you every moment of your life. There is no place you can hide from Him, for even the darkness is light to Him.

You are a Believer and you bear His image. Let your soul ignite your voice as you join with nature singing His praises while waiting for His Second Coming.

He is the God who made you in eternity past. He is the God who was broken for you on the Cross. He is the God who cries tears over you. He is the God who patiently waits to be wanted by you.

He whispers your name and says, My Child, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. Come take my hand. Let us walk together on this journey called life all the way home to HEAVEN.

Yes, true peace is resting within the protection of someone greater than you. Go find your quiet place, call on HIS name, He will hear you. Then wait quietly…it will be worth it. He will answer you…and when you receive your answer…
be still…and know that HE is YOUR God.

To My Never Ending Anxiety God says…

Shalom / Peace.

The reason for this is that through my years I have prayed mainly in desperation. The prayers have almost always been “Me-Centric”…about my needs and wants. The answers to my prayers rarely seemed to come quickly. More often than not the situations went painfully forward for a long time.

I always wanted answers now not later. I waited for a cool cup of water from the hand of God. Instead the desert heat dried out my tongue until it cleaved to the roof of my mouth and my words stopped as the deafening sound of silence continued.

I have learned something from the Silence of God. My attitude has been reshaped to understand the words of the Psalmist…“This Too Shall Pass”. Now rather than pray for what I want to happen in any given situation; I give it over to God and ask for His strength to bear the burden till it passes.

Until you understand that truth and act upon it by personally calling on His name; your life will have been lived out as lie and your heart will remain cold as stone forever.

This Visible God came to Earth 2,000 years ago to save you from Himself (His Holy Wrath towards sinners). This Visible God came to proclaim His Invisible Kingdom. A growing Kingdom that resides within the hearts of His called out ones. His Eklescia…His Born Again True Church of Believers in the Son of God.

You can be one of those called out ones, the seed is already there in you. It just needs to grow. Admit it, life is hard and its challenges a severe burden. He is there all around you waiting for you to ask HIM to share your burden and make it light.

Every person bears His image and all of nature sings His praises while waiting for His coming. He is the God who made you. He is the God who was broken for you. He is the God who cries tears over you. He is the God who patiently waits to be wanted by you. He whispers your name and says “Why have you not returned to me?”

Yes true peace is resting within the protection of someone greater than you. Go find your quiet place, call on HIS name, He will hear you. Then wait quietly…it will be worth it. He will answer you…and when you receive your answer…

BE STILL…  and know that JESUS is YOUR God.

One statement that remains clear in my mind is that mankind never learns from history. The civilizations throughout history seem doomed to repeat themselves.

If you are a critical thinker you cannot help but notice the repetitive themes that plague mankind are illuminated as the struggle between Good and Evil.

When you consider the actions of men throughout history and watch the world and local news tonight, you cannot argue that evil exists in our world. Evil exists and it is escalating at an alarming rate. Everyone is affected from the old to those in the womb because evil knows no boundaries and is no respecter of persons.

God has placed within us a moral code that allows us to recognize Good and Evil.
Evil is not just a concept or the opposite of Good. Evil is a disease with deep roots that go back into antiquity, back into time….back to the beginning.

Man’s inhumanity to man is horrific, but the worst display of this evil penchant to destroy is contained in the concept of genocide, the destruction of a race, an ethnic group of people from the face of the earth.

There is one nation existing today that has borne the continual focus of evil to eliminate them throughout history and from the face of the earth. The very fact that they exist today proves beyond any doubt that GOD EXISTS.

That Nation is Israel…My people…the Jews.

This miraculous nation has resurrected itself from the dust of ages past and has proven it is an eternal nation chosen by Almighty God to fulfill HIS yet future prophetic plan for them and mankind’s future.

Israel is GOD’s Prophetic Time Clock. Soon Israel and ALL the other nations of the world will put their faith in the False Messiah…Satan’s Puppet. The Entire World and the Nation of Israel will pay dearly for this Blasphemy. Yet God will still preserve HIS Remnant of Elect and Chosen Children…the few not the many and bring them into HIS Kingdom to live on the new earth and in the new universe He soon will create.

A new beginning without Sin and without Evil. An Eternal World and Universe filled with pure joy where the Lion will lie down with the Lamb.

Then, finally the most recognized Jewish Greeting spoken throughout History will come true for all Gods Eternal Family.

SHALOM…PEACE, be with you.
