GOD’S LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN

GOD’S LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN: HE MAY NOT HAVE DRAWN A CROSS IN THE SAND BUT WHATEVER IT WAS IT WAS A POWERFUL BEGINING TO THE CONTINUANCE OF OUR EFFORT, TO WALK IN THE STRAIGHT LINE PROVIDED BY OUR LORD, ONE NO ONE CAN ERASE OR MOVE. LINES ARE GOD’S SPECIALTIES, OURS ARE NO CHALLENGE FOR HIM. WE ONLY HONOR, RESPECT, AND ACCOMODATE HIS.

Isaiah 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

The LORD will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; making that foundation strong and true. But if we continue to trust in lies, hail and water will destroy and wash away our shelter, the places we consider our safe places; a flood of water will destroy the place where you are hiding.

Do you ever think or wonder what God is doing (other than maintaining and controlling His creation – the entire universe, world, and all that is within them and without) while He sit and watch, allowing man to slowly and methodically destroy His beautiful world, any semblance of true love, and man, himself. This brings us to the line, drawn by God, which man cannot cross unless allowed, yet has steadily try and circumvent it with his own way. But our God know that man cannot destroy the line He has drawn which serves as justice and righteousness, a strong and true foundation for His people; one that He, Himself hung for the safety of His people; ones that separate good from evil, right from wrong, the sheep from the goats. Ones that are straight down the middle of all the chaos and confusion, troubles, trials and tribulations, that He said we would have to endure. There will be no place to hide. One that will wash away all the hiding places and manmade shelters man is constructing, that they are relying on.

He does not sit and shake His head or His Spirit moan for Him in response to what is going on, He knows and through eons (an indefinite and very long period of time) of preparation, He’s got the answer. Because we know something has to happen, a combative reckoning, between good and evil to usher in our Lord and Saviour. Yet, even though warned, by God, it is hard to see someone blatantly and without remorse, shatter lives, livelihood, and a way of living and don’t bat an eye. We did not see how people would become so enveloped in the lines of evil so easily and have the readiness for it to come; the enjoyment in its destructive power; the blatant hatred that it fosters. That is shared by so many of the devil’s followers.

But we must remember, God drew His lines before time began. And He has placed this line in the soil of our hearts; We are to ask Him to stir it up so we can go about cultivating the urgency needed, for it to remain strong and go straight toward our Father, through Jesus. The line we are talking about is the one referencing the prophet Amos’s vision of a plumb line, which symbolizes a standard of righteousness and judgment against which God measures His people. We must walk along this line in order to do the will of God, not haphazardly drawing one for our own pleasure. Because when we do, it always becomes distorted with the cares and worries of this world, greedy gain. The phrase can also refer to God setting boundaries, the clear distinction between good and evil, or a person’s choice to take a stand for faith, as in drawing a “line in the sand” for Him. Either way, God’s line is the one that really matters and is backed by the Blood of His Son, our Lord and Saviour.

This metaphor for God’s standard of righteousness, justice, and truth is the one against which, God measures his people. In the books of Amos and Isaiah, it signifies God’s judgment using the method of a straight and firm line, one that cannot be moved nor destroyed, on all of our crooked ways and His firmness of purpose to hold us accountable; we are required or expected to justify our actions or decisions.

One thing I know to be sure, that man can draw, erase and manipulate as many lines as he wants but when God draws His line it is drawn. And no one can add to it or erase it, we can only accommodate it. The lines of ungodly, unlawful, they are drawing and crossing that will be done away with. Because YHWH, God’s line has been drawn, in the sand of God’s time by Him (YHWH, God) in the name of Yashuah, Jesus, with His ever powerful blood; no one can undraw it or redirect it. And our LORD, God will not allow anyone to move it. You can recognize those that believe this because they have followed the example of Jesus our Christ and have kept (with all prayer and determination) their eyes and hearts focused on Him. And even though we are right dab in the middle of all this chaotic confusion and riot inciteful rhetoric, it has no negative effect on our thought toward our Savior, nor any lasting bearing on our conversation or everyday rhythm; we are concerned, yes, but we keep praying, hoping, trusting, being faithful, and moving toward our eternal destination, using our Lord and Savior as The true example to follow; as our true compass that guides us and as our anchor to keep us grounded and steady. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

SUPPORTING SCRIPTURE: Amos 7:7-9

7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

The lines of ungodly, unlawful, they are drawing and crossing will be done away with. 4 God showed me this vision: Oh! God, my Master God was calling up a firestorm. It burned up the ocean. Then it burned up the Promised Land.

5 I said, “God, my Master! Hold it—please! What’s going to come of Jacob? He’s so small.”

6 God gave in.

“All right, this won’t happen either,” God, my Master, said.

7 God showed me this vision: My Master was standing beside a wall. In his hand he held a plumb line.

8-9 God said to me, “What do you see, Amos?”

I said, “A plumb line.”

Then my Master said, “Look what I’ve done. I’ve hung a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I’ve spared them for the last time. This is it!

    “Isaac’s sex-and-religion shrines will be smashed,

    Israel’s unholy shrines will be knocked to pieces.

    I’m raising my sword against the royal family of Jeroboam.”

REDEMPTION (RECONCILIATION) THROUGH GOD’S GRACE – II

REDEMPTION (RECONCILIATION) THROUGH GOD’S GRACE – Romans 5:10 – For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Colossians 1:20 – And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Moses, a man of God, used by God to give man the law, promoting man’s effort of self-redemption. But it did not work. Man’s sinful nature was and still is too great for us to redeem ourselves. So entered our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Only through His precious blood and saving grace are we deemed worthy enough to be saved. Now, the contrast between law (which could not redeem us) and grace (which can redeem us) centers on human effort versus God’s unmerited favor. The Law, which Moses gave, is seen as a system of demands that condemns imperfect humanity, while grace is God’s free gift of salvation and the power to live righteously through Jesus Christ. Grace does not mean freedom to sin but freedom from the dominion of sin, empowering believers to obey God out of love and gratitude, not fear of condemnation. (John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ). 2 Corinthians 5:18 – And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;)

Through our redemption, the one-time act of being bought back, delivered from bondage, debt, and sin through a costly payment. This payment was orchestrated by the Father Himself, God, redeeming humanity from sin through the atoning death of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. Jesus was the currency who served as the ultimate payment to free us from the consequences of our sins and to restore a broken relationship, between humanity and God; in giving His life, he helps us find our way back to God. Today, if all who profess to be the children of God would set our focus on Jesus, and keep it there, we can and will find understanding, relief, and release from the chaos and confusion, through total redemption. Jesus gave His life to regain possession of a world full of sin and disobedience, it was payment, it cleared our debt; wiped clean. We see, through His sacrificial death, that Jesus gave His life for us and ensured that we are redeemed, saved or being saved from sin, error, or evil. When we confess our sin, repent, and ask God, in Jesus’ name, to restore our soul. (2 Corinthians 5:18-2118 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him).

This is the day (should be all days) we call on the LORD, for all our help, through His Son so that we know that we know, that we know, that we have been given the redemptive grace and mercy through Jesus’ death; have been redeemed from a fate that required a sacrifice, to our YHWH, God our Father, which no man could satisfy for the sins man committed; no not anything man (tangible or intangible) can offer. But God, Himself, in the form of His only Son, did that which we could never do nor understand why or how. Let’s conclude it as His ultimate act of fatherly LOVE for His wayward children. (Romans 5:10 – For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life).

To be set free, is a process in our spiritual life, all of us should pray to YHWH, God for and the need to experience as we get back in alignment with the Word. And we should know that no one can take this from those who will come to Jesus; it has already been done and if we make the choice and know that it has already been done, we then know that we, as the children of God, are free from bondage and an eternal death; no not anything man (tangible or intangible) can offer. Yet with His wisdom YHWH, God has already given us the knowledge to understand but we must study His Word (JESUS) to get and be able to decern the message He has for us. We will see the Son peeking through the clouds of chao, confusion, and circumstances and know that everything will be alright. (John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life).

On the very best day of our life, when we feel all is in line with God and our whole being, we are still not enough to redeem ourselves from the sins we commit. God, the Father, knew this. So, in His infinite wisdom He chose His Son to come to earth, teach the gospel, lay down a perfect example of how man, when he wants to, can follow God’s laws, statues, and commandment. To go through all the troubles, trials, and tribulations we, as humans, would face and will be inflicted on us. Yet Jesus stayed in the Father’s will, passed God’s tests in the fire, water, and His encounter with the devil’s temptations. He was then hung on a cross to free you and me from the curse of the law (man could never be or do enough to get it right); the guilt and shame of sin, to be forgiven, by the Father, for our sins; justified as candidates for adoption in God’s family, the truthful righteousness of God; and secured us from the bondage which held us captive from eternal life. The law was given, by God, to help man live a righteous life; to show people their sin so that they would repent. (Colossians 1:13-15 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:)

But the law became a curse for man since not one of us can obey it perfectly. The law itself became a source of condemnation or curse (a divine judgment or human imprecation pronounced as a formal declaration of misfortune, evil, or hardship upon one, often resulting from disobedience to God’s law). If we, as true children of God, are going to go through the different kinds of tests, trials, troubles, and tribulations in today’s unstable world, we definitely need Jesus’ redeeming grace rather than the curse of the law. (1 Peter 1:18-19 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:)

In God’s infinite wisdom (He saw all this mess coming) He gave His Son to Himself for the perfecting of the pathway of our son; to remove the curse or condemnation over man. Our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law; when He hung on the cross, bled, died, and then rose with all power (in heaven, earth, and hell) in His hand. Yashuah, Jesus, was found to be the perfect Lamb, the ultimate sacrifice, to stand in the balance as a redemptive offer to the Father, for our souls. (Galatians 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:)

So, in order for us to experience this all-encompassing, redemptive mercy and grace, we must keep our eyes on the true prize (eternity) through our perfect Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ; freedom from sin’s guilt and shame, the forgiveness of sins, justification, adoption into God’s family, eternal life, righteousness, and freedom from the curse of the law. Redemption also establishes a new relationship with God, characterized by forgiveness and peace, and leads to spiritual growth and sanctification. Which we can only obtain through Christ; His sacrificial blood, which was offered once, is our means for obtaining redemption and forgiveness from The Father; there is no other way. (Hebrew 7:26-28 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Hebrews 9:12 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us). (2 Corinthians 5:18 – And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;)

SEEK JESUS’ FACE AND STAY FOCUSED THROUGH STUDY OF THE WORD, WALKING IN HIS WAY,AND DOING HIS WILL; PRAY, PRAISE, GIVE ALL THE GLORY AND HONOR TO THE ONE WHO IS OUR ROCK; AND RAISE HIS NAME HIGHER THAN THE SUN, MOON, AND STARS. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY NO FEAR.

REDEMPTION THROUGH GOD’S GRACE – I

God’s act of purchasing or rescuing people from bondage—whether to sin, death, or slavery—through a costly sacrifice, primarily the death of Jesus Christ. This act restores humanity’s broken relationship with God, offering forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life as a gift of grace, (God’s unmerited favor, kindness, and divine influence toward humanity); which can never be earned through human effort, but in the act of salvation through Jesus Christ. Redemptive grace also means receiving God’s blessings, gifts, and power to live a holy life, even though one is unworthy and can never earn it.

Before the ultimate redemption takes place, we are going to experience, as our Lord Jesus told us in Matthew 24 a great tribulation, one such as no man has ever seen before. Has it has already begun? We could say that God is allowing us to go through the fire of completion, to purge and cleanse us from our selfish sins and lawless living. The time of those days, according to Jesus, will be shorten so that God’s chosen people will be able to endure. It is the sign of the time. The time when our Lord Jesus is getting ready to round the corner of our lives and impart His redeeming grace on a dying, undeserving world. Thank God He is not like man. We would all be in big trouble!  (Matthew 24:21-22 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Men are going to try and convince people that they are Christ and for some they will be convinced. They will perpetrate the mastery of illusions, whereas they will be so convincing that even some of God’s elect will be deceived. Only if we hold on to God’s righteous right hand, listen to and hear His Son, our Saviour’s voice, will we be able to resist and stand. (Matthew 24:23-24 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect).

If our hope is for the world to settle into what God would have it to be we, the true Christians must be redeemed and run this race (on the track laid out for us) according to God’s plan and not the one man has purposed. (Ephesian 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:) No matter the cost or consequences from man, (which can only hurt the body not the soul) we must stay steady, eyes, forward, mind on Jesus, every word from our lips a prayer or praise, or promotion, get up every morning with thanksgiving in our hearts, while walking toward and in righteousness. Lifting up the name of our Redeemer, Jesus. In lieu of knowing the fore mentioned, we should think on the good and positive things Jesus showed and prescribed for us; that which He has done, is doing, and will do. At all times Jesus thought on the goodness and that is what we are to think on; it is a predecessor to cleaning the closets of our hearts so we will know when redemption is near and are ready to receive God’s grace. (Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things).

The Father, YHWH, God said that if we would accept His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, as our “personal Saviour” (it is an individual thing, no one can do it for you) He would be our redeeming grace, our rock to stand on when we feel as if we are sinking in the sand; our ship to prevent us from drowning, carry us over the angry seas of life; our water to curb our thirst when we find ourself in a barren and scorched time in life; our breathe and all other necessity (that make life possible) in the valley of dry bones, making us live; our ladder to climb any mountain men try to before us. In other words, our God, is our everything in all things and by way of our Lord Jesus we are given complete access to Him, and can do all things, once we submit, fully, to the LORD. Nothing is complete without Him. God promised to hold us in His righteous right hand when the world (man) let go of us and cause us to fall. And in Jesus’ name, He will because God does not lie. (Ephesian 1:5-7 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;) (Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:) GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

FOCUS ON JESUS NOT THE STORM

CALL UPON ME AND I WILL ANSWER THEE: GOD’S PROMISE TO END THE CAPTIVITY:FOCUS ON JESUS NOT THE STORM

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Sure enough the storm is raging. But through it all we must keep focused and remain anchored in our Lord Jesus. Today, (as every day) is the day, we call upon the LORD, through the wonderful gift He has given us known as prayer. In prayer we communicate His Word, Will, and Way (speaking, requesting, praising, and asking for His support) in and over our life. When we pray YHWH, God will hear and answer us. It may not be when we want Him to but He always on time; be patient. In His answer He will give us wise understanding, release, and relief of what He is allowing; remember, God is in control. In all that we may not know or understand how nor why, one thing that we do know, and that is if we keep our focus on Jesus, He will show us His unfailing love, His greatness and the mighty things (miracles) that are instore for each of us; working all things out for our good. Whether we see it in our present situation or not, know that God is constantly bringing about new things, offering hope and transformation through subtle and not so subtle ways to get us to understand the power of prayer. Through our talks with Jesus, we become aware of the fact that we feel the absolute necessity to embrace love, hope, faith, and trust in God and Jesus our Lord and Saviour. We know that it is their will (provoked by prayer) to create pathways and provision, providing us with all we need in seemingly barren circumstances, all because of God’s perfect love (Jesus) for us. (Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert).

YHWH, God, through the blood bought salvation of Yashuah, Jesus promised to set all that were held captive by some sort of bondage or another, free. And those that truly knows God, knows that God does not and cannot lie and all (not some) but all His promises are true. So, it does not matter what man is doing, saying, or thinking, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and He will see you through. (Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,)

As hard as it may seem for us to do in these uncertain, unsafe, ungodly times, we must continue to pray, wait on the LORD, and faithfully look toward the Hill from where our help comes from; seeking that which only YHWH, God, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, can provide. So, let us be ready, through continued praying and praising according to the example set by Jesus, for the picture, which God is so masterfully painting for our life. (Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;)

( Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;) GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY NO FEAR.

GOD IS ENOUGH!

WE NEED TO STOP CRYING AND WAITING FOR MEN TO MAKE A MOVE, TELL US WHAT TO DO. OUR GUIDANCE, AT ALL TIMES, SHOULD COME FROM OUR FATHER BECAUSE GOD IS OUR STRENGTH, REFUGE AND FORTRESS: HE WILL PROTECT AND RESCUE: GOD IS ENOUGH!

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Most of us are all up in an uproar over trying to relate to why the temperature of hatred and ignorance that is being played out in our nation today, has exploded in such a manner as it has. Instead of turning toward God they turn toward man and concern themselves with what society is saying and doing and are faced, again with disappointment. But God, our protector and deliverer will set those who truly love and strive to serve Him and His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, honestly, up on a high place; so far removed that the wicked one cannot touch them. And for those who continue to create and promote chaos, encourages conflict, and causes confusion He will give them all the rope they need to hang themselves and all those who chooses to follow him.

As stated in previous post, God has a purpose for all of us. Like Judas Iscariot, someone had to betray our Lord and Saviour for the prophecy (of our Saviour going back to glory to set on the right hand of His Father, God) to be fulfilled; and someone has to betray the world for our Saviour, Jesus to come back again to claim His Father’s children. Since time is winding down, our responsibility, to God, self, and others is that we must remember and commit to serving God no matter which way the wind blow; walking with the true understanding that YHWH, God is still on the throne; none has ever, nor will they ever dethrone Him. For He is our Father and we are never to deny the depth, width, and breath of His power and majesty; His guidance and protection for us is natural to Him because it is based on His unconditional love for us, (His most time wayward children).

In order for God to respond to our supplications (the distinct way of seeking Him) we must maintain a direct, clear, and concise walk (line of sight, communication) with the Father, regardless of what is happening around us. Because He told us that if we remain faithful, in His Word (Jesus) and steadfast in His service, we will be protected; in lieu of the prayers we pray, the actions we take according to His will and the message we share with others. A message that does not honor men or show fear of him or his lies, but one that tell God’s Truth per His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. To be able to withstand the coming terror we must be steady and faithful in our walk. As others fall away from God’s Word (Jesus) and even though the world has pulled away from the true teaching of YHWH, God replacing It (The Truth: The Word) with feel-good messages, we, as children of the Most High, cannot afford to; we have come too far to give up now. But we as His children know the Truth and must maintain in its validity. And if we want God’s total protection and be rescued from this season of life, if we have fallen away, we must get up off of our sin, get back into the Word (Jesus), and keep our focus on Him so we will receive the wisdom to know why things are happening the way they are. And yet we will not worry nor be afraid because we know in our heart, mind, body, and soul that God’s in control of the whole world and everything in it. And GOD IS ENOUGH!

 It is up to each one of us (individually) to fix our eyes on Jesus and make the decision to love aggressively and do the righteous thing. In light of the world’s hatred, we are to walk in humility and not be so easily offended; not be so easily persuaded to see and do evil but to see and focus on the good; we must learn to live in genuine harmony (no pretense, God knows) with one another so we will prosper both spiritually and naturally. In this life, if we take the initiative to accept the examples given by Jesus, from Genesis to Revelations we will know that the way of this world, today, is not going toward the righteous way but down a road of evil intent; the path beaten down by greed, greed, and more greed. But we are to cling to the promises of our Lord and Saviour, that He will never forsake or leave us in our times of trouble and know that it is true. So, instead of fear and frustration, we are to stand firm and fight against the enemy. And with the strength, protection, and rescue of our God we will see and understand this time in our life. And the revelation of Yashuah’s life, death and resurrection, which YHWH, God, allowed for me and you to happen for such a time as these. We have got to do our part. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

WE MUST TRUST AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S WORD(JESUS) IN TODAY’S WICKED WORLD

WE MUST TRUST AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S WORD(JESUS) IN TODAY’S WICKED WORLD. So that we will understand what is really going on in today’s world of unrest. And how, with our heavenly Father’s guidance, we will be able to stand.

As we move into our day, we must realize how relevant to submit the total being, of our life’s significance that finding the frequency and listening for and to God’s voice (in every moment and aspect of our life) is. It is one of the most important things we can pursue. The other is to follow after His example. Even in today’s wicked, sordid, and idol worshipping world, YHWH, God, is still using, His Word, Jesus, to create and communicate with man and all living things; constantly changing and rearranging as He sees the need to do so, to get our attention and gain our trust in Him, while enlarging our faith and preparing us for His second coming.

With a command, for His purpose, of His voice He will allow some to rise and others to fall. Majestically and powerfully does His voice move throughout the land and over the waters speaking to those who will hear and about those who won’t. We witness His eminence, as He speaks to us, through the powerful forces of nature and in the silence of the midnight hour. And if we choose to listen, no matter the situation, (even if it is not our doing) we will see and hear His awe-inspiring voice tell us to stop, start, come, or be still; loving us through it all. God’s voice will cause man and that which is of nature (all creation) to bow to His will or understand His won’t. God’s Word is so great that we can see from the 3 boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the fiery furnace, that when He stepped in, (I like to think that with His Word, Jesus, the voice of God) He took the heat out of the fire and made the flames behave. Book of Daniel (chapter 3).

You know that the majority of people (even those professing to be a child of God) develop an attitude toward God when troubles, trials, and tribulations come their way. They either draw nearer to Him, totally turning over to Him or they turn off their hearing which decerns God’s voice from the devil’s. They refuse to stand still long enough to hear Him so that He can command our waves (crisis, chaos, and confusion) to behave, and the wind (anyone or anything contrary to His will) to stop blowing; to stop causing destruction and devastation. This bring us to the fact that the last thing any of us should do is to harden our heart when God is speaking to us through the work He is doing, but stand fast, as children of the Most High, and have faith that all will be worked, in Jesus’ name, by The One Who is in control. Because when it comes to us trying to control our life’s situations, (test, trials, troubles and the tribulations that are inevitable) we make even a bigger mess. (1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it).

Our Father instructed us to seek Him first, in all that we do; to give no worried or fearful thought (notice I said worried or fearful; we will think about them but don’t allow them to be your concentration) to life’s problems, such as the ones we are experiencing today. But to put our faith in Him, think on Him, hang on to every word of His promises He made to us to never leave nor forsake us and He will protect, guide, and provide. He gave example of His commitment to us, His creation, through the life of the lilies of the field; how beautiful they are and how they don’t worry nor work, they just grow; straight and tall and beautiful; all because they don’t worry but know that God takes care of them. (Matthew 6:28-29 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these).

Much joy, peace, comfort, clarity, and most of all love, comes with God’s Word. And when problems that we, (instead of giving them to Christ), have toiled with, which need to be solved, are given to the Father, in the name of the Son are relinquished they become more tolerant and easier to bear. It is so good when we listen to hear Yashuah, Jesus’ voice, saying come. Because it is then that the power and majesty of God’s voice, like that of rolling thunder, calming waters, whispering wind or the sound of nature, is revealed. And through His speaking, His voice shakes the trees of retribution, the situations of Satan, and rid all that is contrary to His Word (Jesus) from the land of our being. (Psalm 29:3-9 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory). GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR. GOD IS IN CONTROL; GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE

GO TO GOD FOR SAFETY, FOR JUSTICE, FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THE ENEMY

GO TO GOD FOR SAFETY, FOR JUSTICE, FOR PROTECTION FOR ALL YOU NEED TO ASSURE A GLORIOUSLY ABUNDANT LIFE INSPITE OF THE ENEMY

The whole of this wicked man is to gather all that is considered good in his eyes, for himself and those whom he feels is worthy; no matter the degree of suffering it causes. Nor that in the process of this corrupt and abominable works, he promotes chaos and confusion among his people and other nations. Which means that if obtaining, gaining, and maintaining positions they feel they are entitled to requires them to push down others and continue to walk on their backs to attain it, there is no hesitation, it will be done. The evil one is trying to destroy the foundation of all that is good and righteous. If he succeeds, what will happen to those who are the righteousness of God? It will (it has almost become common place now) to expect outrageous, off-the-top-of-his-head decision making process causing dangerous occurrences every day, from him. But we cannot accept this as any means of normalcy because it is not; we are not subject to a wanna be king nor a deraigned dictator. Who do we turn to for safety, justice, and protection? We go to God. The vile, wicked, and evil man, may at a time, walk on every side and is exalted by those who worship him but when all is said and done God will set the righteous, in safety, from such wickedness. (Psalm 11:1-7 1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 12:1-8 1 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted).

So, as for my trust, it is and always will be put in my God, Who, when we call on Him and seek Him first, He will deliver and protect us from this corruption. And even though we don’t understand the rhyme and reasoning now (why Yah is allowing this to happen) we will; especially those who truly love God and study His Word: Preparation for Yashua’s return. And during this most trying time He will not allow us to fall apart under the weight of ignorance. But keep us intact as we (the children of the Most High) continue, in Truth, to pursue our goal of a righteous relationship with Him. It is time for those who profess to be a true child of YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name, to let go of the lie, stop being persuaded by every evil wind that blows your way and sounds good and look to Jesus to overcome the ignorance. If we look to our Lord Jesus, in times like these and put our faith in Him, He, will save us from destruction while sustaining and upholding us from the danger, evil and the night season ushered in by the uncertainty, greed, and hatred of this ungodly man. (Psalm 11:1  In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?, Psalm 13: 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation., Psalm 56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me).

Let’s be clear about the “Right Side.” That is the God-side and “Jesus is seated at the right hand of God” which is a symbolic declaration of His supreme authority, power, and equal status with the Father within the Godhead. Again, the “right hand” signifies a position of honor and ruling power (which none of those claiming to be right winged have), indicating that Christ reigns as King and has been invested with the full power of God. During these times we see that the wrong people are claiming the right side. But understand this, true children of God, with His righteous right hand, God will not leave those of us who truly love, have faith, trust, and believe in Him, soul in this hell. Yes, even though they heap calamity upon us, God will be our stay: We will survive, we will not be moved. Because working within the limitation of God’s right hand we overcome! (Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. Matthew 22:44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne).

So, who do we turn to for safety, justice, and protection? We go to God. Understand this. That the vile, wicked, and evil man, may at a time, walk on every side and seem to have everything going his way, and is exalted by those who worship him but when all is said and done God will set the righteous, in safety. He will hear our cry to be delivered from such wickedness and give the wicked their just portion. And we, as Yah’s children, will trust in Him. Our hearts will rejoice in His eternal salvation, and our lips exclaim, in song, how great and faithful God, in Jesus’ name is when we get out of the way and let Him do what He does best.

Psalm 13:1-6 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

MIND YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, COMPANY KEEP, AND HEART

This includes your WHAT YOU PERMIT TO OCCUPY YOUR MIND, WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, PEOPLE YOU ALLOW IN YOUR SPACE, and THAT WHICH YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TO.

(Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things).

The world has become a melting pot for those who harbor cruel and harmful thoughts and intentions. Words that are spoken are done so to incite hate and division; break apart that which was once looked upon as being solid: The foundational guidance of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Our thoughts become the backdrop for the road of progress we make or the road of procrastination we take; the permission we give ourselves to pass, press forward or prevent, the things that help generate our life’s painting. When we are deep off in our thinking, we must be careful how we fuel it and with what brush strokes we use to accomplish it. We must consider what we think about and who stands in the recess of our mind, with us, encouraging or inspiring in either right or wrong which determines the words we speak. We must think about (in these uncertain times) what tools we are going to receive and use (those which we harbor in our heart) to make life a beautiful painting of a righteous reality or a nasty nightmare. This is very important. Remember “What comes out of our mouth brings with it consequences; we should heed what we think and say.” So, will it be prayer, praise, and perseverance to help us forge forward along the righteous way or will it be perverted prevention, placated with empty promises, allowing thoughts of evil, to stop us in our track and we stand still; our painting unfinished. (Proverbs 13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction., Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise., Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few).

Words you say reveal a lot about what is in your heart and mind. The thought that is whirling around in your mind. And you may think that just because it is in your head it is okay; it’s between the Good Lord, us, and the gray matter; no one hears or sees it until it comes to life, and it will, eventually. This is where we go wrong because even in our most secret thoughts we may think just because we entertain thoughts unknown to others (those that are contrary to God, which comes to our mind) that it’s okay to do so. But that very thought if fed constantly and not brought under control, can become a blessing or a curse, depending on what you are thinking. These days it seems that people’s thoughts have become so radical and so far, left (Jesus is on the right), that they cause more problems than create solutions. (Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Philippians 2:3-5 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:)

It is so sad that most people’s identity relies on the company kept: it can be from those who encourage love, peace, patience, perseverance, praise, and prayer which equals spiritual progress or of those who encourage hate, violence, misinformative rhetoric, and anything that tears down instead of buildup which equals spiritual decline. When you begin to really take notice of the majority of people, in today’s society, you see an uncannily dangerous occurrence; they have or are in the process of becoming carbon copies of everyone else; no individualism anymore or very little. The saddest part about this is that they usually choose the evilest, most vile person(s) to mimic; ones who promote devastation, division, and destruction. Yet, as evil as it may be, the masses find it necessary to go along with it; normalizing it. Because the goal is to control, to destroy, deny, to fit in, not rock the boat, belong. They welcome the most profound evils in their hearts and then call it Christianity and love. They think alike, talk alike, look alike, and believe alike; harsh reality is that their hearts are usually contrary to God’s Truth, Word, and Reality.

The company you keep plays a big part in the outcome of your life especially if you allow those, who don’t find it necessary to use Christ as their example, to become the pattern you follow. It is easy to want to follow the crowd. That is why we are to surround ourselves with likeminded (God’s minded) people, coming from among (not thinking, talking, or doing the things they engage in) those who are drenched in the evil affairs of this world. But we are still supposed to minister to those that are not likeminded, sharing with them the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ; helping them to see the Light of the Lord. Because in times like these, you either immerse yourself in this ungodly culture, (preying on the poor and downhearted) or you spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who will.

(Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed, Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners).

Our heart is the original source of everything we do. It is the gateway from which everything we do flows; our thoughts, emotions, desires, and motivations. Those who welcome chaos, confusion, lies, disobedience, complacency, and disregard for others are wicked and evil people. They do not acknowledge the deep embedded darkness within them which makes them fall away from God. They continue to serve the god of this world and promote evil doings. And when we do not deploy (prayer, praise) protective steps that protect, defend and preserve our heart from the enemy, we allow that which is contrary to God’s will into our heart, it causes an upset to our very being. You see, the heart is the source of your thoughts, actions, and ultimately, your life so we must actively manage what enters it which influences our life. God told us to guard our heart because what you allow and hold in your heart determines your life’s situations for everything you do. The fact that the issue of life comes from the heart cannot be expressed often enough or with enough urgency because again, every act, speech, though, etc., is a product of what’s in your heart.  Life flows from it. (Proverbs 4:19-25 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. 24 Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you).

So, as you go about your day, be careful of what you think on and how much attention you give it; be intentional about what you allow yourself to think about and dwell on.  Search for the true thoughts for the righteous reason, in God’s Word. Think on all the things that are of God. Find words of encouragement and inspiration to share with others throughout the day, week, month and year (always); be careful of those who are about chaos and confusion to be a part of the company you keep; be discerning about the influences you allow. Make sure they align with your core values and expectations. And for the Father’s sake guard your heart from all that is evil; God in Jesus’ name will show you how and keep you through, just ask. We, all, need to stop underestimating God’s power, presence, prominence, and peace and bring under control our thoughts, our words, the company we keep, and what we allow in our heart in order to be in His righteous service. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

LOVE: THE INTERWOVEN CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE, PEACE, AND PATIENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER

NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW LOVE: THE INTERWOVEN CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE, PEACE, AND PATIENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER

There is no specific time nor place for these qualities to be useful but at all times and in all places. The relationships formed from such qualities are solid and viable ones. We as God’s human creation, were created out of love, God’s Agape love, the highest form of love. If it weren’t for This love, we would all be going to hell in a hand basket. Because regardless of how much we see and know YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, loves us, we have reached a place in time when hate seems to be the key which opens every door, the life of every person; whereas love and temperance seem to close them and Jesus, who is the Life has become (to those who have given themselves over to sin) a by-product. It should be the other way around, don’t you think? But man has lost something special; a God-given ability to love in spite of; beyond the faults of others and see the resounding depth of hearts that once were; love covers all. It is going to take a whole lot of love (with the strength of the Father) for us to rethink, revisit, and maintain our commitment of love to God and to one another.

Yes, we see that times are getting darker and darker; people are constantly confronting each other, not in love but hate. Somewhere at all times, someone is always against another; that’s not righteous. And love, which helps give us peace of mind, is fleeting to the point it has almost become a rare gem. Because those who are destroying the foundation of love refuse to let go of hate; as we know, those who are God’s children, know that love is the key to so many of life’s doors. It, God’s love/charity, covers a multitude of sins, every single day for us. (1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins). When these doors are opened such wonderful things can be found because they are of God.

But those who will themselves to hate, let go of love and pride themselves on being a person who is hard to love; becoming one of the unlovable. Yes, it is hard to love the unlovable but with God all things are possible. Throughout the Bible, it encourages us to love people, even our enemies (unlovable), to do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; God will repay. This is why He has set the example and has given us through prayer and supplications, the ability to do so. No, it is not going to be easy but isn’t it worthwhile to always follow God’s Word, Jesus? So, we must do so with lowliness and meekness, enduring longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2 – With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;).  We need to ask the LORD to take us back to that place where we first met Jesus; anchor us to the alter of His love until our hearts have truly matured and know how to love with sincerity and without reservation. To maintain the purest and true form of love (God’s AGAPE) we must always pray, keeping the line of communication opened between you and our Father, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ; the Light of Love that shines, eternally. Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-28 also encourage us that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who willfully and manipulatively hurt or harm you. These verses highlight the fact that God’s love extends to everyone. And to those who claim to be believers are the ones called to reflect that love, especially while we are walking through the valley of chaos, confusion, and even death; even to those who are considered unlovable. This is a lot to expect from us as mere humans but if we remain in the Word, Will, and way of God it can be achieved, not with ease but with purpose. As committed children of God all things, not just some, but all things are possible with the help and strength of YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus. (Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil).

None of us are perfect, polished,people but with God’s love, grace and mercy we can be persuaded to become His righteous children; loving and showing compassion for each other even in the bitter times. It is often true that our flaws have a tendency of getting up with us each morning, (we thank God for waking us up each morning and ask Him to guide us through the day) but we must be vigilance and aggressive in our hope, trust, and faith in Jesus that He will block, strengthen, get rid of unnecessary baggage, and go with us as we move through the day. And when we go to bed, we hope, through His revelations, convictions, guidance, and studying His Word (Jesus), many of those flaws don’t retire with us at night, to revisit the next day. All our persuasions of perfection point to Jesus as the advocate who intercedes for us. (1 John 2:1-2 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world

It is because of this inability to right our own wrong with love, peace, and patience that we should follow Jesus’ example of love. Since we arenot a perfect people, we must always go to God in prayer, and ask Him to help us rid that, about us, which is contrary to His Way (Jesus is the Way). In other words, to love us back to wholeness; love us back to life; restore our souls so we can be as accommodating to our brothers and sisters. Because many of us have come too far to give up now. But due to all the sin, chaos, and confusion we are waning in faith, trust and belief. But we will gird up our mind, heart, and soul’s loin to continue to fight the good fight with Jesus (God’s Love) in the forefront of our lives.  Without God’s love (for all of us) to provide the truth as it should be told (not skirting around it, lies), guidance through the valley of the shadow of death for all that is Holy, and strength to endure the evil that have besiege the world we would all perish. Because if YHWH, God, the Father, in the name of Yashuah, Jesus, the Son does not reign in this unholiness the ability to be tolerant of each other will abandon our hearts and gone silent in the recess of our minds. God knows and acknowledges our ongoing struggles, within self and those in the world. (1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 1 John 3:2-3 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure).  

So, it is with patience, forbearance, and longsuffering that we show what the Bible emphasizes when it comes to the importance of love, forgiveness, and unity in all we do. Even though there is a lot for us to understand regarding the Will and Way of God’s Word, when we concentrate on the basics or foundational principle of the Word, Jesus, we will see that all of these are interwoven in the concept of how believers should interact with God, one another, the world. This is especially true in the middle of differences and disagreements; now is the time to show love, practice tolerance, and have patience, so that we can live in peace with one another. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

SEVEN THINGS GOD HATES

THE SEVEN THINGS GOD HATES ARE AN ABOMINATION TO HIM. YET THE VERY THINGS THAT GOD HATES ARE WHAT MAN IS DEEPLY INVOLVED IN TODAY. BUT GOD’S PURPOSE AND REMEDY WILL BE REVEALED VERY SOON.

In Proverbs 6:16-19, it gives a clear, and concise lists of the seven things God hates; it is for our own good to know them, so that we can avoid getting caught up in the messes in life, they create, messes which leads us to destruction. To forewarn us, with these seven things YHWH, God hates, is evident of how great and loving our Father God is. He has given us the blueprints of a life which is indicative of how much He wants us to succeed at our place and purpose. Therefore, He points out the importance of humility, truthfulness, respect for human life, and peaceful relationships.

In today’s world, you will notice that these very things that God hates are what man is deeply involved in today. All morals, compassion, feeling of remorse or sympathy, caring and considerate, like the baby with the bath water, has been thrown out. Humans have walked away from their humanity and replaced it with all the things YHWH, God hates. But men seem to have burst through the boundaries of all seven without looking back. We are going to look at all seven and see if we notice any similarities which are happening in our world today. And understand this, that all the things God hates, going contrary to His will today, will be rectified. He will make it right.

A proud look or haughty eyes; eyes that see others as being inferior to themselves. Now, we all know that there is a healthy difference in taking pride in yourself, having a confident character and look (based on strength, courage, and boldness, according to the will of God versus having a prideful, ignorant, and arrogant way about yourself; looking down on others as being inferior; their livelihood doesn’t matter; they are considered not to be necessary; thinking you are better than they are; having a haughtiness about yourself. But the last time I checked, the proud person reached their state in life and is being held up by those very ones whom they consider inferior; without them they would not have made their fortune (and now wallowing in their pride and arrogance). Even though God still love the wretched, evil man He looks down on that which he does to his brother and sister and will avenge.

God hates a lying tongue; those who willfully and maliciously continue in the practice of deceitful and dishonest speech and action. He condemns especially the lies and deceit told by and engaged in by those who are supposed to be looking out for their constituents. In other words, those who make up a governing body of a nation, who were elected by their peers to care for their needs. Instead, they take advantage of the hurting delusional, frantic people who want something or someone to hang on to but don’t know or want to know that it is YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus Who is the answer. These liars spew out all the rhetorical information people want to hear which can and usually do cause conflict, chaos, and confusion. Then turn the whole situation around, to mean and whose intentions are totally different; working with a mind that is controlled by the devil. God looks down on that which is done to those who are trying to understand why things are happening, where to go for righteous answers, Jesus, and how to maneuver through times such as these. It is a sad thing to know that while men who are given the power, by God, to lead and are supposed to be guiding and encouraging, are instead, misleading with lies, distorted truths, empty promises, gab for their own gain; sheep to the slaughter.

God hates hands that shed innocent blood: There have been an epidemic of this act of violence and murder, taking a life unjustly, really since the first murder by Cain of his brother, Abel, (Genesis 4). It is bad and getting worse because due to the fact that the line between good and evil has become blurred and now it has been erased. Even though YHWH, God’s presence was heavily with man, as He walked and talked with mankind in biblical days and gave us His commandments and statues for life, man’s lust for sin became overwhelmingly strong to the point that man still killed and murdered for their own greedy gain and also out of pure ignorance. So why should we think such hostile and life taking actions won’t happen today; when you have a generation that have no love for God, themselves, or others and man seems to think that God does not exist or that He is no longer of relevance. Therefore, they will not suffer consequences for their vile acts and actions. And that their fellow man’s purpose is only to serve them and their need for greed.

 You see, the shedding of innocent blood does not necessarily mean physical bleeding but the bleeding or hurting of the heart (an internal, mental, spiritual, and emotional) can fall in this disdained or scorned category of life from our fellow man, not our Father, God. Because when men have determined that he has just cause to create such a rift (a serious break) in another life through the arranging and rearranging of the very substance God has chosen to supply, through the knowledge of man. And even though his physical body may be still intact his mental and spiritual can be seriously damaged. Once they have been used up, they will be discarded and left to bleed out, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally; die. Those who are supposed to uphold the law have been given Carte Blanc to do whatever they see fit to do these days which includes taking life Spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. This attack, on life as God intended and as we know it, is at the directive from the leader of the “free world.” But God strongly object to any person taking another’s life in any form or fashion. Because He did not give us life for someone else to destroy and kill, but life to be in abundance and enjoyed; All while serving and honoring Him and our fellow man.

A heart that devises wicked plans: Our heart is a major player in the service of our God. It is the center and innermost part of our receipt and distribution of goodwill from God to others. It can also become harden to the point that all sorts of vile, destructive, chaotic, and confusion make its way in it. This happens when you are in an unhappy state in your life; never appreciative of what you have (and seeking to always destroy others by making them bow to their wishes, put himself on a pedestal and dare anyone to knock him off so he can retaliate against them). This person moves in the shadow of darkness; staying up late to think of some inflicting injustice he can bestow upon the very people he was give watch over; this person is definitely without Jesus in his life, even though he claims to have him. And when you sit around and continue to receive and entertain thoughts of deceit, destruction, discouragement, and disobedience, in your heart and mind day after day, night after night without casting them down, the heart and mind becomes playgrounds (just right) which fosters his wicked plans. This calls attention to the importance of monitoring one’s intentions and thoughts, which left unchecked, can lead to harmful actions; today’s leader is the best example of those wicked plans being devised and used against others for his gain.Therefore, we must at all times, ask YHWH, God, in the all-consuming name of Yashuah, Jesus to set our hearts and minds straight and put a watch over our them, so we will not devise wicked plans against one another. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Feet that are quick to rush into evil: We have someone (the president) that sits in the white house every day, who act, do, and make decisions quickly without thought or care (like an impetuously motional child), committing all kinds of atrocities against the American people. Selling themselves out for the dollar. God is not please. As a matter of facts, He hates it.There is always a measure of danger in any situation when we use our feet to run toward (get involved) evil work instead of running away or avoiding it. Where too much urgency is used and you feel that you need to hurry and make something, usually bad happen, or become a part of that which is evil that is already taking place, God looks down on your action. You need to stop and think of what consequences you and others are going to bear. God knows our hearts and He know that you know that the very situation or circumstance you have decided to rush into is evil. But because of the “reward” it dangles in your face you commit to it anyway; forgetting God’s disapproval, forgetting harm to others, forgetting damnation to your soul. So, you need to ask yourself are you going against the will of God; this should be your first consideration, concern.The emphasis of becoming too willingly and with or without forethought, do the immoral, unjust, and selfish acts and decisions impulsively on bad is what YHWH, God hates.

A false witness who pours out lies: Liar, Liar, pants on fire or you just stink? We know that there are those people who love to tell the contents of a juicy tale, embellishing upon them to make them seem more dramatic and interesting. And then there are those who deliberately tell tales (lies) that causes harm, chaos, and confusion; the later ones are the most dangerous. Because they do so willfully, with aim to be deceitful and to do harm. And of all the lies told, (all are hated by God) I think are these are the most hated by God. Don’t get me wrong all lies are hated by our Father. It is the Ninth commandment of the Ten, telling us it is wrong to lie, perjure, or slander. It can be found in Exodus 20:16, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” and in Leviticus 19:11 “You shall not lie to one another”. This commandment of God is a core (central) part of something that is vital to our commitment to God and our very existence. It tells us that God’s ability to lie is none existence. His character and principle emphasize honesty and truthfulness so one should not deceive or mislead others, and that truth is a reflection of God’s character. This should be the ultimate goal in all of one’s speech and actions. God says He hates a false witness one who pours out lies. I am adding this. Like you pour out water. This lying refers to deliberately speaking falsehoods to harm others. So, we must all, be mindful of what we listen to and what we choose to hear. Because if it does not sound righteous (too good to be true), it is not.

A person who sows discord among brothers: When someone’s agenda is to deliberately (for his own gain) spew rhetoric of a destructive nature, look for conflict and division among people, communities, families a, and even nations to be created. This person(s) main goal is to get you to look over here so that you cannot see what is really going on. But God has a plan for such a person. And even though he may not be aware of it, he is usually the major player in that plan. You see, most think that man has the ability to chart his own course with no involvement of YHWH, God, Yashuah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. But that is a miserable mistake of man, costing him much grief in the end. God said love Him, love your neighbor as yourself. If you love your neighbor as yourself, you do not wish harm to come upon them, so you do not do anything to cause it. But if you have an evil core, your love for God and yourself is blinded by the evil within so that you cannot love others; you stir up mess, mayhem, and misery among everyone you can for your gain.

Man is at a pivotable crossroad in life. Here at this junction, we will either swim or sink (make way for heaven or hell). We are experiencing a time when with man it is no longer business as usual, honoring, respecting, caring with deep compassion, each other the atmosphere has changed; luminous – revealing more evil, hard- no apparent love, concealing-hiding that which needs to be exposed, foreboding- uneasy, unsure feeling that something bad is about to happen. Although a form of this way has been with us for a very long time, it has never been this extreme. Man, God’s creation, has forgotten Him or turned Him to something they think they can control, a book on their “spiritual shelf” until needed. They continue to crucify all that is righteous, lovely, and true. That which was set in place to ensure (or some semblance of it), that all men are created under the watchful eyes of God. Yet it is slowly being destroyed by one evil man who wants to be a god; who wants to be a dictator; who wants to be king. But God. In His wisdom, power, and faithfulness has given us the seven things He hates, calling them an abomination, to open our eyes, minds, and hearts. Not as burden or barrier        but as part of instructional guidance for our life; to study and adhere to. And in the end when God has said it all and done His just due, we will see and understand why; until then we hold tightly to God’s unchanging hand for this bumpy ride. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

Proverbs 6:16-19 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
