In the furnace of the fire of His Grace God is molding us. Sometimes when going thru
this it is not a pleasant feeling. Sometimes its agonies are as birth pains
until things of Christ are formed in us (Galations 4:19 & Hebrews 12:10-11). We all need more of the image
of His shape within our character. In these last days that fire will
intensify in the church to ready us for His coming for our standing
before the Son of God in peace. In the world the other fire comes to
ready them for the great and terrible day of the Lord when God shall
thoroughly purge His creation of the evil unrepentant bunch to burn up
the chaff with unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:7-12).....please share freely......deno.
Zechariah 13:9) The Lord said....and I will bring a third of them through THE FIRE and by that fire I will REFINE THEM as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried; They shall call on my Name and I will hear them. I will say, they are MY PEOPLE, and they will say, The Lord is OUR GOD....
Though the masses praised Jesus day unto day for all the blessings, for
all the love and kindness he showed; for all the hope he brings and for all the
Words of God he spoke, and for all the miracles of healings he and the
Father performed, there were still many Jews always seeking to belittle Jesus
and to catch him in a wrong of some sort and even to kill him. Those certain Jews wanted Jesus to leave their towns and community and even wanted him removed from their society. Many times they plotted schemes against him and stirred up the crowds against Jesus. They said in one scripture, "For a
good work they did not seek to kill him", but in their heart Satan had
planted his ANTICHRIST evil spirit in their heart to oppose and betray Jesus and
eventually nail him to the cross. That is why the scripture says that THEY HATED JESUS WITHOUT A CAUSE. They thought when they finally
accomplished this(the Cross) that they had won the battle/the victory over the light of Christ in their society.
Little did they know, they fell right into heavens well organized trap
that ended up redeeming and reconciling the Jews and the gentiles, even
the world back unto God by Christ blood and death, and it stripped Satan of his power and hope forever. As it is written of the death of Jesus on the Cross, It reads, For from the foundation of the world the Christ was known slain. All they did was fell into the trap to cause this redeeming Word to be fulfilled for the salvation of men and for the defeat of the enemies of Christ. Paul wrote, By the
death of Jesus we were reconciled/brought back unto God and by his
resurrection we were justified. Peter wrote that God so greatly saved us
by Christ precious blood and that by His stripes He healed us. John in
the book of revelations wrote, For Christ thru the blood of His cross
redeemed us unto God out of every nation on earth. So all this rant and
raving going on in America and in the world against our Lord &
Savior Jesus Christ and against the Christian faith and against the Christian heritage of America, this is by no means the first wave of the antiChrist spirit against Jesus and the christian faith. It began long ago. But as it was a trap for Satans downfall and doom back then even so it to is a trap today to bury all of Christ enemies and to deliver
His People in the end of the age. As God said to His Son, Come now and
sit here at my right side until I MAKE ALL YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR
FEET. We Christians are soon to make the great END TIMES RED SEA CROSSING onto the other side and Pharaoh and his imps and armies are going to be destroyed and buried by God once again. This is not an hour of defeat but because victory is at hand by
the coming of the Lord, Satan is screaming in TERROR against Jesus and the saints
in fear of what he is about to face that is just ahead. Revelations
20:10. And the devil that deceived those that opposed Jesus was CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, where the beast and the false prophets are and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. They certainly have a RUDE AWAKENING awaiting them in so many different ways....please share freely.......deno.
I was just reading this out of the Av7 translation and the KJV of the
bible that I really like. In John 17:13...In this passage Jesus is
praying. He is in the spirit and is at the Throne, in intercessory prayer
for you and me, FOR US. JESUS WAS AND IS ALWAYS FOR US NOT AGAINST US (Romans 8:31-32).
Right there in His supping with the Father in that prayer, Jesus sumed up for
us all, THE CORE REASON for all those Words that He spoke to us in this
world while we live on earth. In vs 13 Jesus
said, Father I'm returning unto You and these things that I speak in the
world I do so SO THAT....SO THAT....SO THAT they might have MY JOY, MY GLADNESS
fulfilled in themselves. Jesus in this present crazy, old, mean, cruel, bitter,
hate filled world had joy in his heart so delicious and divine despite the worlds events and condition. He did
not let all the terror, or the hate, and the ugly cruel mean stuff on earth get
Him down. He walked above it like He walked on water by FAITH IN GOD HIS
FATHER. All the hate. All the darkness. All the sin. All the terror.
All the powers of hell could not take from Jesus His joy and He said
that He spoke to us, in this world, THE WORDS that if we will believe them
and obey them then HIS JOY, the joy that the disciples saw in the Lord every day would be found full in us on earth as it was
in Him. Oh Happy Days Are Here Again If We Will Hearken Unto The Word of the Lord, Believe them and Obey them with a steadfast spirit. (Consistency). WOW...I'M HAVING AN AWE MOMENT HERE SEEING THIS
TRUTH. Friends we can have His Joy in us even now in all this worlds mess, but we are going to have to believe, serve, obey, have confidence in God the Fathers Love as Jesus ALWAYS DID....AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEET THIS TRUTH SOUNDS......deno......Please share freely.
In
the midst of all this darkness in the land there is still marvelous light given us from heaven to walk in.
In the midst of all this hate going on in the streets there is still the
greater One with us from heaven with His greater love. In the midst of all what seems to be
hopeless situations there still exist the God of all hope and
consolations who created the worlds and parted the Red Sea for His people. In the midst of all this depression on earth there still
exist that oil of gladness that came to us from glory and the path of real Joy that obeying and believing Him brings. And In the midst of
all this terror on earth there still on earth exist the grace place of
peace which passeth all understanding. It is found only IN CHRIST JESUS
the Saving Ark of Everlasting Refuge. Enter In Now where real Life.
Light. Hope. Great Love. Peace and Joy Lives...His Name Is Jesus Christ.
