GOD KEEPS THROWING OUT HIS LIFELINE, WE KEEP THROWING IT BACK
Matthew 14: 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Yes, the lifeline, through Yashuah, Jesus, YHWH, God, keeps throwing out to drag us back to safety, once we have gone astray, is not going to be thrown out anymore when Jesus comes back. And like that fish out of water, washed upon the shores of no relief, (finally realizing the significant of the our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), we will try to get back to safety, floundering furiously in the air, but will find that it is too late; the strength we used to commit folly and be all about the world, has given out. And along with it, our chance to spend eternity with our Father, God, and our Lord Jesus. Until then, YAH is giving us, through Jesus, signs after signs and chances after chances to stop being about the world (the devil) business and totally commit to Him. We live our life as if the day of the Lord will never come, oh, but it will! God’s lifeline comes in many forms (prayer, other believers, etc.) but my go to is the Rock, Jesus. He will catch you when you fall or place His hand of mercy under you and shelter you while you soar. With Him, your fate is sure with God. Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Romans 9:14-15 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. (Philippians 4: 6,7 “Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”)
The scenario can be compared to the ten brides, five wise and five foolish. I may have talked about this comparison before but feel it necessary to share it again. Because, contrary to the belief of some, we are all responsible for reaching out and catching the lifeline Jesus is constantly throwing out for each of us to catch and hold on to. Not only does it involve the things we do, but also, let us be careful of what we hear with our ears, think in our mind, speak out of our mouth, and receive in our hearts; only that which is of God will last.
Now, back to the ten virgins. The lifeline that the ten virgins had was the knowledge that the bridegroom was coming. And even though they were not given a specific time of arrival, they were given ample enough time and information to prepare for the journey (as we have been given through The Word) and even if they had to wait. They knew the Groom was coming and went to meet him, but He did not come in the time they thought He would, so they had to wait. During the wait their lights were steadily burning (being committed to God, doing good in Jesus’ name, for the Lord, loving others). They were all prepared to continue for a little while, but when it came to the extra mile that is when their true commitment was revealed. When it came time for them to leave (because the Groom was on His way) and go out to meet Him, after waiting for Him, five were good to go but five found themselves wanton, they did not have enough oil to complete the journey. You see, somewhere along the journey, during the wait perhaps or before they left, their faith to grab hold and hold on to the Lifeline God gave them was not strong enough so it did not take root; they were not true to their word of being righteous and doing the work God planned for them. So, let me ask you to ponder this question. Which category are you in right now, as we wait for our groom, Yashuah, to show. Is it with the five foolish? You do just enough to get by but when it comes time to go the distance you can’t because you are not prepared. Or are your lamps full of oil, with some to spare, ready for the long haul if necessary; being the righteousness in Christ, working, praying, and praising every day for others. Because it is foolish of us to think we can live a haphazard life and be nonchalant about our preparation for our Saviour’s return and still make it to heaven. As we refuse to accept His lifeline to get to know Him, (to produce good, righteous, and true work), He is not going to know us. (Matthew 25:1-13 25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh).
We need God’s lifeline today a no other because the world has gone, not only astray but completely wrong. We need Our God, Who is Love, for everything, our wisdom, strength, encouragement, inspiration, our mere existence. We need Him for restoration, (the church first) and the finalization of His Plan, not ours; we are to be used as His representatives, who takes an active role in and produces God’s specified effect of healing and righteousness. And to deny Him our service, after He, through His Son, our Saviour, has serviced and still is serving us with His life, through His love and the gracious liberty we have, would be catastrophic to our lives. It is total truth that when we deepen our relationship with God our Father through Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, one which focuses on Him, as He gives us life abundance and meaning to us, His creation. We will in turn, respond to all around us with the righteousness of Christ’s lifeline. And He continues to throw us out His Lifeline because it would be a shame for all to be lost after He has sacrificed His only Son so that we sinners would have eternal life. (John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 12:46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. Titus 2:12 Training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life).
We must look to see, ready arms to reach for, be prepared to catch, and hold on tight to God’, Lifeline, He provided through Jesus. Because as the winds of change blows and the sea of confusion waves roars, it will allow us to rest in our and the world confusion and anger, in Jesus’ name. Because we will see it for what it is (a world of dead man’s bones) and what it will eventually be (a witness to the glory of God), according to the WORD. To get in the position and stand in the poster to reach for it, give us the opportunity to stop ignoring God (and all that He is doing to get our attention); we readily with all senses wide open receive that which YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, gives us to do, and graciously allow Him do the things that only God is capable of doing. We wouldn’t have problems we are experiencing and the incapability of holding on to God’s Lifeline, Jesus, if we would let go of those things that are grounding us to the world (things given constant attention). The majority of which are simply due to man’s lack of ability to navigate through the fall-out from the prior messes, he has created; all boils down to the failure to study God’s Word and learn of Him; to be grateful for the beauty, in all the earth, God has supplied us with and show God how we cherish Him and all the beauty and abundance (Spirit and natural) He has afforded us bymaintaining it with a heart of love.God’s Lifeline is Jesus. Grab hold and don’t let go! (Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth). (Hebrews 6:18-20 (NIV)18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek).
GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
