"Omnipotent"

When one says God is omnipotent (omni-all, potent—power) they are proclaiming that He not only has ultimate power over all things, but He is also the source of all power. Though He sets limits on all of creation, He Himself is limitless in strength, wisdom, love, holiness, and the ability to perform His sovereign will. He is the initiator of all that exists, the only uncaused entity in all of creation. 

[Jennifer Slattery]

Psalm 147:5 ... Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

Romans 1:16 ... For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Hebrews 1:3 ... Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Matthew 28:18 ... And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Revelation 19:6 ... And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. ❤

God is Light ...

Light, in the Scriptures, is the emblem of purity, truth, knowledge, prosperity, and happiness - as darkness is of the opposite. John here says that "God is light" ... not the light, or a light, but light itself; that is, he is himself all light and is the source and fountain of light in all worlds. 

He is perfectly pure, without any admixture of sin. He has all knowledge, with no admixture of ignorance on any subject. He is infinitely happy, with nothing to make him miserable. He is infinitely true, never stating or countenancing error; he is blessed in all his ways, never knowing the darkness of disappointment and adversity.

[Barnes' Notes on The Bible]

1 John 1:5 ... This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ❤

Isaiah 5:20

When people become so full of sin that they will call those who practice unrighteousness good and those who walk in righteousness evil, intolerant, unloving. 

That is the world we are living in. Many of us have suffered the pains because we choose to preserve, remaining faithful, producing good works and eternal fruit. These are the final times, so be strong in the power of God’s word. Endure till the End! 

[Lonnie Martin] 

Isaiah 5:20 ... Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Proverbs 17:15 ... He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.  ❤

The Devil is a Catfish

Catfishing is when someone pretends to be someone else online to deceive others for various reasons. Both Natasha and I had this happen to us before we met each other. Which is crazy to think that people do this, but despite my believing I had good discernment, I was completely duped. 

The Devil is a catfish, and he will often use scripture in the mind of the naive to destroy their testimony, put them in harm's way, or use their gullibility to pervert the heart of God. Jezebels. Manipulation and Control. Pride. Rebellion. Apathy. Laziness. Greed. All of the above can be the actual spirit behind religious, biblical words, people and teachings.  But they are not at all coming from the Holy Spirit. Literally, they are demons cloaked as the voice of God. 

The Devil even used scripture to try to get Jesus to throw Himself off the Temple roof. This scary reality only serves to underscore the importance with daily intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Like people whose job it is to spot counterfeit $100 bills. The more time they spend looking at the real article, the easier it is to spot the counterfeit. This is why Jesus says, “But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.” (John 10:5)

Can you distinguish the real Holy Spirit from religious spirits of manipulation and control?

[Troi Nelson Cockayne]

1 John 4:1 ... Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ❤

Always on Time!

Our God does not see time as we see time. We learned yesterday that we cannot lean on our own understanding. God’s ways far surpass anything that we could ever assign understanding to. The mere fact that, “a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day,” is beyond mind boggling for our human brains. 

God has a promise for each of our lives. His promise is waiting for us to grow, change, and be transformed in mind and spirit so that we can take on what He has for us. His promises can be small and grand. He is with us each step of the way. Giving us pieces as we give Him the pieces of our lives. 

If ever we feel like things are moving slowly, we should give Him praise and be grateful that He is preparing us fully, not leaving anything to chance. The world around us wants us preoccupied with staying hurried and on a specified timeline. That is no way to live freely. That way of life will always leave us feeling trapped, overwhelmed, and guilty if we do not meet the standard. God lives outside of the standard. He sets a different standard. Let’s live with Him outside the lines. 

[Lauren Frazier]

2 Peter 3:8-9 ..  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ❤

Listen To The Son...

I marvel at the sad reality that many Christians that have spent a lifetime attending Church and yet have never been taught the most important lesson of all; learning how to identify God’s voice and be led by the Holy Spirit. The entire Bible, front to back, highlights the critical need for the child of God to ‘obey’ the voice of God. Jesus says, “My Sheep know My voice and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) Paul underscores who the real Children of God are when he states, “Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the Children of God.” (Romans 8:14)

Over the years somehow, we have been sold the false idea that, “Those who attend Church and pay tithes are real Christians.” Do we not realize, just as corruption has infiltrated our political system, school system, justice system and medical system, it has also infiltrated our ‘religious system’. Men of corrupt minds and motives (not all), that have created a pastor dependent system that guarantees for them a perpetual growing income for them. But is this what God intended? We see the answer when we see Peter, James and John on the Mount of Transfiguration where man’s knee jerk reaction to the glory of God is, “We should build (churches, tabernacles, tents) ...” 

God the Father sharply rebukes Peter for this line of thinking and says what? “After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell face down in terror.” (Matthew 17:1-6)  

How can we be led by the Spirit of God if we are never taught how to distinguish God’s voice? Evidently, they are not teaching this in seminary, and then no wonder we have churches scattered across the globe that are not bearing fruit. They have hired and followed those with ‘degrees’ when God made it clear The Way is through Jesus Himself. Not the pastor! Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:29)  

Again, in John 14:26 Jesus says, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.” John underscores this critical truth by writing, “As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving your insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him].” (1 John 2:37 AMP) 

Am I saying to ‘not allow’ apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to help equip us? No! But I will say that learning God’s voice and listening and obeying His leading is without a doubt the MAJOR lesson God wants each of us to master. 

 Everything else is minor compared to that single greatest lesson.

New Heart and Right Spirit...

Do more than purify me, do more than cleanse me; by an act of creative power make in me a new clean heart.  Compare the Christian doctrine of the "new birth" and "new life." And renew a right spirit within me.

"Heart" and "spirit" are used interchangeably for the inward essence of man; but, as Professor Cheyne observes, "Heart emphasizes the individual side of a man's life; spirit, its Divine, or at least preternatural side." David, in asking both for a new heart and a new spirit, requests the renovation of his entire mental and moral nature, which he recognizes as corrupt and depraved.

[Pulpit Commentary]

Psalm 51:10 ...  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. ❤

Nature Groaning

In view of the physical evil and misery prevalent in the world, the Apostle attributes a human consciousness of pain to the rest of creation. It groans and travails together, i.e., every member of it in common with its kind. The idea of travailing, as in childbirth, has reference to the future prospect of joyful delivery.  This consciousness of pain and imperfection has been continuous and unbroken, nor will it cease until an end is put to it by the Coming of Christ. 

[Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers]

John 16:21 ... A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Romans 8:22-23 ... For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.  ❤

The Work of Christian Charity

 1. The Character of Christian Charity.

Christian charity is, as the name indicates, a specifically Christian virtue, the fruit of saving grace. It is Christian love extended to those that are in misery, a love that reveals itself in a voluntary and unselfish devotion to those that are subject to the ills of life, particularly, when they are in straitened circumstances.

The Christian, in his work of charity, seeks those that are in misery, of whatever rank they may be, and aims at promoting the glory of God.

Christian charity differs even from the charity that was exercised by Israel under the Old Testament. This was limited almost exclusively to the poor of their own nation. Moreover, it was carefully regulated by an external law. Christian charity, on the other hand, is inspired and regulated by an internal principle and is universal.

2. The Motives for Christian Charity.

The primary motive is found in the fact that the Word of God calls upon us to show forth the image of God also in this respect. "Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful" (Luke 6:36). This is a very high ideal.

In the second place the Christian love that fills our hearts prompts us to exercise charity. This charity will reveal itself in all its tenderness and compassion where misery is greatest, as, for instance, during a pestilence, or a famine, or on the battlefield.

Moreover, it is necessary for our own spiritual development that we exercise charity. This is not selfishness, but merely a part of the law of our spiritual existence.

3. Opportunities for Exercising Christian Charity.

There is always abundant opportunity for exercising this virtue. We can do it wherever we come in contact with misery.

Novel-Reading

 1. Negative:

Novels do not, as a rule, contain a sound, healthy view of life, a view that corresponds with reality, and as a result raise expectations that are doomed to bitter disappointment.

The reading of novels, like the use of liquor, produces unnatural excitement, after which a reaction follows, resulting in general lassitude. Many a person was thereby brought to the verge of despair.

Novel-reading robs a person of a great deal of time that might be spent to much better advantage. It often makes him unfit for the serious tasks of life.

Many novels foster a spirit that is inimical to Christianity. They are all the more dangerous because they often do this in a very subtle way.
 

2. Affirmative:
We must discriminate between different kinds of novels. Many of them picture life as it really is, others represent it ideally and thereby lead us up to a higher view of life.

The reading of a good novel affords healthy relaxation to the mind. For students it is as refreshing as a bath. Instead of making them unfit for work, it renews their strength.

Many novels give us an insight into the life of past ages that could not be conveyed in any other way. They enable us to realize conditions and customs of the distant past.

In many cases too the religious and moral views of life which they contain are truly uplifting.

"Closed"

We have an intimacy problem. I’m convinced one of the most severe consequences of sin is the ability to experience open intimacy. It’s why many marriages suffer creeping separateness. It’s the same reason many go to church their entire lives yet don’t know God or His intimate voice. Closed hearted marriages, closed hearted church attendees, closed hearted relationships to both people and to God. 

I still marvel that I spent 20 years attending Church and had virtually no intimacy with God. No one had ever really taught me how to connect or recognize His voice and His loving presence. My preoccupied compromised desires and sins left me fragmented and closed off from the beautiful gift of true intimacy with my wife at the time, God and other relationships. God is after the quality of our love, which comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and from a sincere faith. This comes in a greater degree when we repent of defiling sin and the lies that separate us from experiencing intimacy with True Love(God). 

Sin taints the quality of our connection to God, our spouse and others by distorting our motives and desires. Often, many of us get stuck in a closed off ‘protection mode’ because of past wounds. We need the healing hug of intimacy. True intimacy. The greatest part about the gospel, and in my opinion, the deeper meaning of it is that Jesus came, died and rose, not so much that we would attend church every week, but to restore each one of us back into intimacy with True Love.  Daily, moment by moment. To be closed is to be in a posture of resisting that True Love. 

Repentance is an exchange program where we give up anything that blocks, breaks or defiles true intimacy with God. Repentance is the main requirement for this heavenly miracle. Jesus is the safest place to open up and give our full heart because His love is pure with no shadow of turning. He will never hurt you, leave you or forsake you. But we must open to His hug to experience this miracle of true intimacy and restoration to healthy function. From this point, He is able to heal us from the inside out and make us true lovers of people. Leading others to the same heavenly experience. 

That’s the true gospel.

The Work of Missions

 1. Missionary Motives.

The true missionary must first conquer sin in his own life before he can successfully combat it in the lives of others. The missionary motives are naturally derived from the Word of God and from the new life that is born within the hearts of the missionaries, in connection with the condition of those who are the objects of missionary efforts.

In the Word of God, we find the great commission that Christ gave His disciples to preach the Gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19). The missionary goes out first of all because it is the command of his King.

But the new life of the missionary operates in various ways also as a motive:

(1) The grace that fills his heart is of a communicative character.

(2) The holiness of his new life reacts strongly against sin in the world and naturally seeks to create a holy atmosphere in which it can flourish.

(3) This new life feels that it is responsible also for sin in the lives of others, and therefore impels one to conquer sin in the world of unbelief.

(4) That new life, as it exists in the lives of individuals, is conscious of the fact that it forms but an insignificant part of the body of Christ, and necessarily seeks to complete itself.
 

2. The Great Importance of Missionary Work.

This work is very important, first of all, for Christ, for in it He sees the good pleasure of Jehovah prosper in His hand. It is the ingathering of the fruits of His labors, the increase of His subjects and the completion of His body.

It is very significant too for the Church--it promotes her growth, leads her on to completeness and strengthens her by increasing the number of the soldiers of the cross.

It is of the utmost importance for the nations that are won for Christ. New life is born within them; new light kindled in their hearts. Schools are opened for the education of their children; their moral life is raised to a higher level and their religion is purified.
 

3. The Factors on Which Missionary Victory Depends.

Negatively we can say that spiritual victory does not depend on the sword or on persecution. Neither does it, in the last analysis, depend on any efforts of man, such as great oratory, educational activities or measures of social reform.

Positively it does depend, first of all, on the grace of God, operating in the hearts of the missionaries, of those that support the work of missions and of those that are the objects of missionary efforts. And in the second place on the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its purity. Some of the above-named agencies may, of course, aid in the work.

Until ...

Everyone is a Christian until it gets Biblical. Christians unite until their denominational theologies surface creating a division that does not exist in heaven. In heaven there are many mansions, not many denominations. Christians, until it requires a faith to step out and be ye separate from the world and the things there of. Until the Spirit of the Lord convicts and corrects one’s lifestyle habits and choices. Giving up those things the flesh desires and picking up the things the spirit desires instead. 

Everyone is a Christian for Christmas until the baby becomes the man on the Cross. People are comfortable saying, Baby Jesus. People are uncomfortable speaking of the Crucified Son of Man, Jesus. It is less controversial to say the name, God, because it is less likely to make people uncomfortable by speaking the name of Jesus. Yes, even Christians do this! 

Everyone is a Christian until it requires being a servant to the Word of God (Bible) and the things there in. No more picking and choosing what satisfies one’s flesh nature, but only eyes for what pleases the Spirit of the Living God through the Cross of Jesus. You call yourself a Christian, but why? Because you were baptized as an infant (not your choice by the way)? Because your family lineage says you are Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic, Lutheran, etc.? Because you are not atheist, Muslim, Hindu, you call yourself a Christian. To call yourself a Christian carries a lot of responsibility. 

Is it possible, Christian, you’re losing focus! Right before your very eyes you are simply watching as the Christian faith is under attack. 

We live in a time when The God of the Bible and HIS Word are no longer respected and held as the highest authority over all.  Prayer removed from schools.  Ten Commandments removed from public places.  One cannot talk about God in the workplace.  Babies are killed in the womb by the thousands.  There are attempts to “neutralize” the natural creation of man and woman as defined by God. I say, attempts, because only God determines your DNA according to his creative abilities. Unnatural affections between men and women. False prophets/prophetesses on the rise. Christian persecution on the rise across the world.  A person can place their hand the Bible, take an oath, even lie, with no feeling of guilt. There was a time when it was sacred to place your hand on the Bible. Not any more. I could go on, but you get the idea. 

If you call yourself a Christian it is time to self-reflect and self-evaluate why you call yourself a Christian. It is more than a word or religious designation. It is so much more, so much more, and it is time to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS A CHRISTIAN FULLY SUBMITTED AND COMMITTED TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE. Are you someone who loves God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength? Who believes in the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Who believes that we are not gods and never will be? 

Who believes in the miracles of the Bible? Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, healed the blind, deaf, sick, and lame and rose from the dead Himself. Are you someone who believes in both heaven and hell with the understanding that only trusting in the finished work of the Cross brings eternal salvation and a place in heaven? Are you willing to lay down your life for the sack of the Cross? Everyone is a Christian until it gets Biblical.

Don't Believe The Polls

Why I don't believe the polls:

They are based on bias.

They do not take into account first-time voters.

The formula is stacked, measuring only registered voters who typically vote Democratic.

There is a real, consensus of favoring Biden over Trump by the media at all costs.

They (polls) do not measure public sentiment, crowd size, and the record number of first time Republican registrations for people voting for the first time.

The record of yard signs (although unscientific), it does project however a large sentiment of expression of people who are supporting Trump over Biden.

Polls are showing the same pattern from 2016.

Gallop showed 56% of voters happier TODAY than they were four years ago.

Helmut Norpoth, who was accurate in 2016 showing a Trump win, reflects an even BIGGER win for Trump on November 3rd in 2020.

So why do I reject the polls? Because anytime a left-leaning media says it's over, Biden is going to win in a landslide, I say, but yeah, look at 2016. Not to mention the silent voter.

By the way, this picture is what's in my yard.

Psalm 126:5

Living a Christ centered life is not always easy or glamorous as it sometimes portrayed . At times it can be downright dirty and painful as the curse of sin and death rears its ugly head and can cause a whole lot of problems for us and the ones we love. Jesus never promised this life would be easy but he promised we shall overcome if we trust in him and walk in his ways. That's not to say that there is no joy in serving the living God. But like all things there is bad as well as good and you can not have one without the other. This verse speaks about how we should remember to look ahead of our struggles and sin and that the tears we shed today will be like seeds that are planted in a field that in time thru much toil and suffering will rise to a great harvest of joy and thankfulness.
