Is Almighty God Our Enemy?

Passing through trials and adversities, it might seem to some that Almighty God is our enemy and that He doesn't care. Oh Beloved, this could not be further from the truth! Satan the slanderer loves it when we are deceived into thinking and believing this. But by faith in Almighty God and His Word, we can defeat this strategy of the enemy of our souls (John 17:17, Eph. 6:10-20! The Bible states: "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:4,5).

The victory is gained when a person puts his or her faith and trust in the  UNCHANGEABLE RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God! As believers in Christ, we can by faith get through the adversity and calamity that comes our way, knowing that God indeed loves us and has a plan to make us winners, not losers. Listen to this promise: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:26). God has a wonderful plan for you!

In these last days may we be strong and of good courage and have faith in Almighty God. May we see - with the eyes of faith - past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a Conqueror in Christ.

'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world" [i.e., Satan and his minions] (1 John 4:4).

As we wait for His soon coming, looking into God’s Holy Word, the Bible repeatedly speaks of His great love for us. God's love, as defined therein, wants only the highest and best for the object of His love. The highest and best is the person of God and His will and way for each individual. God, who is infinite, gives all of His ETERNAL Person to finite man.

David stated; "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour" (Psalm 8:4,5),

"Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered" (Psalm 40:5).

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35-39),

"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" (John 3:16).

Now... God speed unto VICTORY!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Almighty God Created You With Divine Purpose

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen. 1:27). Almighty God made every person either male or female, and everything Almighty God does is ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE and RIGHT. He made absolutely no mistakes at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:31). We need to be the person Almighty God made us to be, both by creation and also by redemption: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
.

If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female, according to the lawless rational of our ETERNAL Creator rejecting, relativistic, politically correct society.
.

We are now told by government and society that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity. If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female according to the lawless rational of our ETERNAL Creator rejecting, relativistic, politically correct society. However, in other settings and realms of our culture, world and thinking we do not allow this lawless rational.

Some examples; A girl suffering with anorexia could be very thin but she sees herself as fat. To honor such wrong thinking could be disastrous for her. Also, can a Hispanic person or a Caucasian person suddenly declare himself to be Chinese or an Eskimo?  Is our ethnicity based on how we might self-identify? If we can change our birth sex, can we also change our birth date? Can a thirteen-year-old identify as a 21-year-old who would be legally able to vote, drive and drink?  Can a 5'10" basketball player become a 6'7" player just by seeing himself as taller? Would his height delusion or the demanding of society to receive his delusion improve his game?  When we leave the realm of reality, there is no end to the nonsense that results (Rom. 1:18-32). Dear friends, is this not a simple matter to discern? But in the mind of millions it all comes down to one's own personal rebellion, lawless selfish ambitions and narcissistic thinking; that all are expendable and must be forced to keep one's illusion and delusion alive and intact.

We tell Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion.

Dear friends, does not the world do the very same thing when it comes to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? We who are fallen sinners tell Almighty God that we are RIGHTEOUS and DO NOT need a His propitiation and Savior (Psalm 14, John 3:16-21, 1 John 1:8-10)! We tell and demand of Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion! Dear friends, that mindset is the true fulfillment and heart of all such crazy thinking in our world today!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion! Now dear friends back to the topic at hand; Our sex is not our own personal choice but rather it is part of God’s perfect plan for our lives for His glory. We need - as human beings - to be content with who we are, because we are very precious in God’s sight. Dear friends, that is the wonder of it all; that Almighty God loved us so much that He sent His Son to be our propitiation for our sins and seeks to redeem us to be Whom He intended us to be from the beginning of creation (Gen. 1:30, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY to much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY when we are fully not.

Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY to much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? To know Him is to know forgiveness, pardon, REALITY and RIGHTEOUSNESS! If you do not, we would like for you to do our Gospel of John Challenge that you can see for yourself how much Jesus loves you!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Our Lives Have Only Just Begun!

Our lives have only just begun as we walk through this weary world (called time). The Lord Jesus leads the way to Almighty God’s glorious ETERNAL day, where we shall all live happily FOREVER and EVERMORE (Rev 22:1-6)!

In absolute truth and bliss in that day, we will be able to truly enjoy Almighty God as He truly is, in the absolute beauty of righteousness with no more of our fallen humanity to distract us (Romans 7:24,25, 2 Cor 5:2).

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Cor 2:9).

Endure today’s trials, woes and joys knowing that this world is NOT our home. For our labor it is not in vain for those who personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and truly seek the Father's will for His Glory and Honor in these last days (Romans 8:28)!

Remember my beloved, our lives have truly only just begun! Almighty God and His ETERNITY awaits all who personally know Him! Such wondrous truth when possessed will set all free from the limited box called time. Rejoice in the Lord, and again I say rejoice!

Eph. 5:16-16!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!


God speed!!

The TRUE Super Sunday! The Lord's Day!

Dear friends, It's that time of the year when ALL America (from top to bottom) gathers together as a nation for Super Sunday! Tragically, millions of Americans will be missing out on and not attending the TRUE Super Sunday that transcends ALL time and ETERNITY!

The original "Super Sunday", the day that the Savior of the world defeated Death and Hades (Sheol) and rose again from the grave ( Acts 2:22-36; 3:13-18; 4:10-12, 33; 5:29-32; 10:37-43; 13:27-37; 17:23, 30-32; 23:6; 24:14-16; 25:19; 26:68, 22-23, Rev. 1:18); is now the day of the week that His redeemed gather together to hear Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS Word and worship Him collectively! It is a day set apart by the Almighty God the Father for His saints to enter into His HOLY presence in a very special way; to worship Him in Spirit and TRUTH, to expose one's hearts and minds to the REALITIES of time and ETERNITY, to be challenged, strengthened and encouraged in the Savior and to fellowship with believers in Spirit and TRUTH (John 3:21, 4:24)!

The original "Super Sunday", the day that the Savior of the world defeated Death and Hades (Sheol) and rose again from the grave is now the day of the week that His redeemed gather together to hear Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS Word!

My beloved, If the Lord's Day is not "super" to you then it is safe to say that the ETERNAL God, His Blessed Son, His saving grace and ETERNAL promises are not precious to you either and you might not be truly saved (Matt. 7:21-23, 2 Cor. 13:5, Jude 1:10). Football today in our nation has made millions of America's obsessed and fanatical! It consumes and dominates their minds 24/7 and occupies nearly all of their free time! I see it at work, with my family and acquaintances. Look, I love sports and I love football but we all got to get our priorities in order and set right! Football is indeed the greatest game to play and watch! However, our nation has become totally consumed with this sport and the day in which it falls upon!

Sunday has now become "MY" day and the Lord's Day has been put on the back burner for emergency purposes only!

Step back and be objective today my friends and be true to yourselves and have eyes to see! The NFL has been a satanic distraction for our nation and for our culture for years and has virtually replaced the Lord's Day hands down! The fallout from this demonic "switch -a roo" has helped to bring us as a nation to the place where we are today; lost, ignorant, distracted, godless, unfulfilled, narcissistic and doomed!  In our post Judeo/Christian America, Sunday has now become "MY" day and the Lord's Day has been put on the back burner for emergency purposes only. No doubt this appraisal sounds a little radical and fanatical to some, but that is where it is at today in the U.S. of A! As we as a family drive to church each Sunday morn the fields are full of kids playing soccer, baseball, etc, the supermarket parking lots are filled to overflowing, highways are packed going to the beach etc, etc! I think you get my point. Dear friends, remove the Lord's Day from post-Judeo/Christian American culture and see how many people will truly get upset or even care! Sadly that is where we are today and because of this neglect, we have reaped the whirlwind in our nation, culture, and society!

The NFL has been a satanic distraction in our culture for years and has replace the Lord's Day and the fallout from this has helped to bring us as a nation to where we are today; lost, ignorant, distracted, godless, narcissistic and doomed!

Football is very exciting, full of militaristic tactics, excitement and great passion, however, football has become - as it were - a cult in our country today and the Super Bowl the high holy day which is most reverenced in our nation each January/February. Sunday NFL football has also been set apart by millions for the worshiping of one's favorite teams. The amount of money and time invested by individuals into football, fantasy football leagues, gaming, food, alcohol, preparing and studying all the NFL stats, setting Sunday morning apart for all the pregame shows is zealousness at its very best! From tailgating to house parties to football gatherings; who have time or room to worship the Almighty in the spirit of TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS on His day set apart? Tragically, very few today do.

Indeed football is a great game to watch and follow as I do but it can NEVER replace the Lord's Day in my mind and heart and I am not just saying that to sound self-righteous and full of piety. That is the Lord's truth. A saving personal relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and TRUTH is where true joy and fulfillment truly comes from and next to that there is absolutely no comparison! Until one fully has surrendered to the will of Almighty God for their lives; one will never be truly free to enjoy all things (John 8:32, 36)!

Football has become - as it were - a cult in our country today and the Super Bowl the high holy day which is most reverenced in our nation each January. Sunday NFL football has also been set apart by millions for the worshiping of one's favorite teams.

My dear fanatical football friend, enjoy the game of football but NEVER let it replace Almighty God and His Divinely set apart Day. Beware of what it has become unto you and to millions like you. It is has become a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, a distraction, to remove your affections from the ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY (Matt. 6:19-21).

The Lord Jesus made this very sober remark to those who are obsessed and addicted to the temporal things of this world and not taking the ETERNAL seriously enough.

"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Matt. 5:29-30

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:19-21

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior? That is the GREAT ETERNAL question for all!  "The world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God, abideth FOREVER (1 John 2:17). The Lord's Day must be first and all other things fall a distant second! That is the healthy and proper order

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
