THE RISE OF JESUS CHRIST FROM OBSCURITY TO PREEMINENCE: HE MUST INCREASE BUT I MUST DECREASE

While there is still time and human probation lingers, please surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all the stinking sins and rotten selfishness in our lives..He loves you and He wants you...Not just to be forgiven...Not to play church, but to truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy eternity with Him. A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.

Pray like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to be born again right now,

YEAR 2020: 25 SOBERING FACTS ABOUT THE REST OF THIS YEAR

In Matthew 16:3, Jesus was speaking to religious leaders and pointed out their inability to recognize the signs of the times. "When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times ?" Here we are, at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century and many of us are less certain about the future than we ever have been. Social boundaries and guideposts have been literally demolished by the ideas, philosophies and opinions of many who are choosing to be controlled by something other than the Holy Spirit. Crimes of offense considered less than $950 in value, receive little or no punishment (1) but calling someone by the wrong pronoun could cost you up to $250,000 dollars. (2) How did we get here ? Human nature is predictable and the final result of sin working unchecked in the hearts of human beings is even easier to forecast. To our heavenly Father, there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) That's why it is not hard to picture much of humanity's fate this year. Here is a sampling of what we can expect to see:


01. Aggravation, aggression, accusations, abortions and alcoholism will increase the sadness of humanity.

02. Belief in oneself, in mankind, or anything instead of God will still be insufficient for happiness.

03. Christ and his character will still be the most important gifts that anyone could ever receive.

04. Dead people will still remain dead in the grave, no matter how many movies, or human theories say otherwise.

05. Everyone will be one year closer to the final judgment described in Revelation 20:9.

06. Fathers and mothers will still be unconverted in many, many homes throughout America.

07. God will still be love and still be omnipotent and still be omniscient and still be omnipresent.

08. Hell will still mean the grave according to the Bible and not a place where God burns sinners forever.

09. I will still be nothing and know nothing and have nothing without God.

10. Jesus will still be King of kings and Lord of lords.

11. Kindness and compassion will increase in value but will be expressed less and less.

12. Love will still be a principle of action and not just a feeling or an emotion.

13. Men of moral power and excellent Christlike character will be greatly needed.

14. Ninety nine people will be unprepared for the judgment.

15. Overeating, overworking, overspending and overreactions will continue to weaken many people.

16. Power will continue to be centralized and monetized and maximized in the wrong hands.

17. Quick, deep and broad understanding will become increasingly necessary for spiritual and physical survival.

18. Rights will be exalted above responsibilities and will continue to become idols. 

19. Self-discipline and self-sacrifice will still develop beautiful characters and will still be required by God.

20. Time will be wasted and lost by many people in positions of authority and by many poor people too.

21. Unfortunate deaths, accidents, losses, and mistakes will increase because of bad choices.

22. Victory over selfishness and sin will still be possible for anyone who exercises true faith in Jesus Christ.

23. Women of moral power and excellent Christlike character will be greatly needed.

24. You will still need God every moment of your life whether you praise Him or not.

25. Zero will still be the sum total of a life without God, without Christ and without the Holy Spirit. 


Please, please, please, while there is still time; surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...He loves you and He wants you...Not just to be forgiven...Not to play church, but to truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy eternity with Him. A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.


Pray like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to be born again right now,

5 GOOD REASONS TO PREPARE RIGHT NOW FOR THE JUDGMENT

Imagine being summoned to appear in court to answer for charges brought against you and you have given no thought to what you're going to say. You knew this day was coming but you didn't think it would be necessary to make any great preparation. The person who fails to prepare, prepares to fail. Nothing could be of greater consequence than these words when applied to the Judgment. Regardless of what anyone's belief or opinion or education or culture teaches about God, no human being can afford to neglect preparation for something our heavenly Father, the Creator of the universe, has warned us to prepare for. There are many good reasons to prepare for the Judgment. Here are five.

1.    PARTICIPATION IN THE JUDGMENT IS NOT OPTIONAL
ATTENDANCE REQUIRED - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (1 Corinthians 5:10)
DESIRES, MOTIVES AND PURPOSES CONSIDERED - For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:14)
RECORD BOOKS EXAMINED - A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. (Daniel 7:10) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (Revelation 20:12)
BELIEVERS AND THOSE CLAIMING TO BELIEVE ARE EXAMINED FIRST - For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God ? (1 Peter 4:17)

2.    YOU HAVE A 100% CHANCE OF PARDON AND JUSTIFICATION DURING THE INVESTIGATION
            Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13) 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: (1 John 2:1) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1)

3.    YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27) 

4.    THE VERDICT IS FINAL AND PERMANENT
            And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:12,15)

5.    IF YOU’RE READING THIS RIGHT NOW THERE IS STILL TIME TO PREPARE
            Fear God and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship   him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Revelation 14:7)
            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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16,17)
            Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
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. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
            There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)
            Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; (Acts 3:19)

While there is still time; surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...He loves you and He wants you...Not just to be forgiven...Not to play church, but to truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy eternity with Him. A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.

Pray like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to be born again right now, 


In Jesus, name, amen

THREE KEY TURNING POINTS AND THE EPIC FALL OF SATAN

MIND BLOWING FACTS ABOUT THE DEVASTATING FALL OF SATAN

The fall of Satan from his heavenly position and from grace is mirrored in the general character of fallen humanity today. All the accumulated selfishness found in the human heart has its origin in the first dark mind of the one who chose to rebel against the love of God. His choice marked what is called a “turning point” in eternal history. A turning point is the point at which a very significant change occurs; a decisive moment. Turning points can occur in human history and in divine history.

Some examples of turning points in recent human history during the last 200 years are: the Boston Tea Party (spark of the American revolution), the Civil War, World War 1 and World War 2, and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 just to name a few.

It is important to recognize, however, that not one of these turning points in human history could have occurred without the turning points that occurred in divine history relative to the shocking fall of Satan. This is not just some ancient tale of good versus evil. Here are the facts of true history, and the turning points which bring us to our present time today. 

TURNING POINT #1 – INIQUITY AND DESIRE FOR SELF EXALTATION IN LUCIFER LEAD TO HIS FALL
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (Ezekiel 28:14,15)

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. (Isaiah 14:12-14)

TURNING POINT #2 – LUCIFER FALLS AND HAS A FOUR WAY PSYCHOPATHIC BREAK - THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, THE DEVIL, AND SATAN. HE AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS BEGIN WAR IN HEAVEN 
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9)

TURNING POINT #3 – HUMAN BEINGS CHOOSE TO TRUST LUCIFER INSTEAD OF GOD.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Genesis 3:1-6)

You may think that this has nothing to do with you but it does. Every human being has been affected by Lucifer's great fall from heaven. Many human beings today are controlled by iniquity just like he is. Iniquity means a desire to do a something with evil intention. A large segment of the human masses must be in front of a camera or an audience because they crave praise and self exaltation. Millions of very intelligent people, through their influence and example, are leading others to sin and trust Lucifer's philosophies.

Today and every one of your next living breathing moments can be a turning point in your life unless iniquity and a desire for self-exaltation control you. Are you at war with God and in rebellion against Him ? Are you using your influence to lead others to believe God’s word or to doubt its truthfulness and power ?


While there is still time; surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...He loves you.and He wants you...Not just to be forgiven...Not to play church, but to truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy eternity with Him. A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.

Pray like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to be born again right now, 
In Jesus, name, amen.
