The coming of Jesus to claim His reward
The world was originally God’s, In Genesis God gave it to man, man gave it Satan
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
Jesus said:
And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
What judgement was He talking about?
The judgement of sin of course!
even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Oh what a glorious day when we are gathered together with our great loving Shepherd!
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
We see today that even creation itself is suffering under the weight of sin longing for the day of redemption!
I every human being ever born, is a desire to live in the freedom that Adam and Eve experienced in the garden of Eden
That desire for Narnia or Utopia - a place where freedom and love, and compassion, and justice would reign
We are seeing that today with the ongoing riots and protests being staged throughout the world today!
It will be the very foundation that Satan will build upon to make people think that he can deliver on the promise of a utopian world!
God gave us a word a few weeks ago and now I am seeing the understanding of it!
“My heart longeth not for judgement and suffering. The ways of man have brought these events to pass”
The great experiment of Capitalistic, Democratic Society is coming apart because it cannot function outside the confines of Christianity!
The foundations of justice, compassion, charity, truth and love can only be carried out within the confines of God’s way
Once sin enters into the system it becomes one of exploitation and injustice - it becomes about what can I gain and not what I can contribute
The founding fathers of America knew this and built the whole system on the foundation of God’s word
It is now crumbling because the foundation is being destroyed by a lie- “remove this intrusive God from our lives and let us live in freedom from His restraint” is now the cry of society
As God told us, “a lie cannot operate without a kernel of truth” - the truth “man can be free” the lie “outside” of God’s confines!
This is the foundation upon which Satan will build deception every purposed against man - I can deliver on my promise of restoration!
In many ways, complacent christianity has been a contributing factor to where we find ourselves today
In the past, the greatest demonstration of love, equality, justice and charity have been manifested b the church
Hospitals, water supplies, codes of justice, food banks, people willing to give their whole lives to Christ for His purposes not their own!
Almost every other religious or political system condones injustice, inequality, slavery, cast systems, and things of such substance
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Biblical Christianity says, we are all one in fact you are more important than me!
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
You see I believe that many of us do not truly believe that we are just passing through this place heading for a city whose foundations are God!
This pandemic has showed us one thing for sure…where are you putting your trust?
Satan is going to use the failure of the “worldly church” to usher in a new era of deception
Why do you think he mimics the things the church is supposed to be doing?
Oh for awhile there will be peace and prosperity - he will have the answer to all the problems but just when they thinks its safe to go home - all hell breaks lose on planet earth
Read the word here!
Do not be deceived - the church will be taken out of the way so that the evil we now restrain will run ramped
Satan will use that very fact that now that those “bigoted, prejudice, moralistic, homophobic, xenophobic liers are finally gone!
Take all their goods for your spoil - you desire it for how they treated you!
And the world will swallow the lie, hook - line - sinker!
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
Church, now is the time to “wake up”, trim your lamp! Be ready for the bridegroom cometh!
