I pray that everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. Now, I have a question for you.

Do you keep Christ in Christmas at Christmas? Or would you instead celebrate something else? This question has haunted me for almost as long as I can remember. I remember the first time that it ever crossed my mind. It was in the military, and we were in the field on maneuvers at Christmas in Germany. I wonder about Christmas customs around the world. One of the stories I had heard was about the people of China celebrating Christmas in a completely different way than most other countries. It went like this back when the Chinese Communist Party ruled over them, and many homes wouldn't even have doors on the holiday. They would have a small image of Jesus at the center of the door and another person or family member outside to greet guests. It bothered me to think about how different our culture was from theirs, but at the same time, it also made me want to learn more about them so that I could be like them without being afraid of what others might think of me. So I started praying about it, asking God whether or not I should change what I am doing with my heart this holiday season. I asked Him to show me if keeping Christ in Christmas is possible or if even I am too stuck on the tradition to see past it all and accept Jesus as my true love gift from God…

Christmas is one of the most important holidays of the year for Christians. It is a time to remember that God's gift of His Son, Jesus, came to earth as a man and died on the cross so that we could live. In this Spirit-filled season, we rededicate ourselves to living life to the fullest and celebrate Christmas as a time to focus on Him—not things, people, or ideas that can't be missed on December 25th. So here are some tips from a Christian standpoint on how to celebrate Christmas from a healthy perspective.

What is Keeping Christ in Christmas?

Keeping Christ in Christmas is crucial to Christ's birthday—Christmas—in the holiday season. It is making room for Jesus in one's own home during this time of year. Traditionally, this has meant that the door to one's home is shut, and a small image of Jesus is placed at the center of the door. On the doorframe is a picture of the Nativity or the Ascension. Family members and close friends are invited to open the door and greet the guest as the doorbell rings. Gifts are exchanged, and the Christmas spirit is brought into the home.

Does Keeping Christ in Christmas depend on our culture, or can it be changed with time and effort?

It's really up to you. You can choose to keep what Christ is believed to have meant for your culture and celebrate it throughout the year with your family, friends, and community. Or, you can turn back the hands of time and observe what your culture does not celebrate. This is why it's so important to make time for yourself this season and open the door for the season of giving. This is the first step to keeping Christ in Christmas. By making time for yourself this season, you are actively choosing to keep Christ in the Christmas season.

Stay in the Christmas Spirit.

When you celebrate Christmas, you are celebrating the life and death of Jesus. You are paying him tribute, and by doing so, you are acknowledging His existence and His power and celebrating how he redeemed us from our sins by giving us his precious blood. When you stay in the Christmas spirit, you are focused on only some things that are supposed to be done on December 25th. Instead, you are aware of the fact that this is a special day, and you are making an effort to focus on what is likely to be an incredibly joyous occasion.

What are other customs keeping Christ from us this season?

Many customs are associated with Christmas that we could spend our time examining and discussing, but a few could be more positive. For example, there is the custom of reindeer-ing, in which poor, tired, abused, and hungry reindeer are forced to pull a sleigh full of toys and other gifts made by humans. Other animals are often forced to serve as companions; most of the time, they are not given adequate food or water to keep them alive through the long journey. There is also the custom of equipping the reindeer with sledgehammers and chainsaws so they do not have to walk in pain and can deliver the gift parcels.

Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas: living a new life and being born again.

Many people need help understanding the true meaning of Christmas. They think it is about Santa and presents and getting into the nitty-gritty of bargaining with the most powerful man in the world. But the truth is, the real meaning of Christmas is about living a new life and being born again. Most of us have heard the story of how Jesus was born. We have been told that He was born in Bethlehem of Nazareth. We have been told that He was born under the sign of the star that His parents saw in the sky. We have also been told that He grew up in Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee. But what we may not know is that after living a life of sin, after being tempted in every way that human souls could be drawn, He came to earth as a man and died on the cross for our sins. And now He is alive again and has returned to heaven.

Is keeping Christ in Christmas even possible?

It is possible to keep Christ in Christmas, but it requires a lot of work. People might not notice if you don't actively work on it, but the choice is there for you to make. The first step is to accept Christ as your true love gift from God. Then, you need to make space for Him in your home this Christmas. This can be as simple as closing the door or turning off the lights in the room where you typically keep your traditions. It would be best if you chose to open the door for the season of giving by accepting the gifts others have brought for you. Finally, it would be best if you spent time with people celebrating something different from you.

Celebrate the birth of Christ by reciting his birth announcement and His story.

At the heart of Christmas is the birth of Christ. And during this season, you can celebrate the fantastic fact that through the power of God, the Son of God was born to earth. You can observe that He lived a sinless life and that we were all born again through His birth. You can also celebrate how the perfect babies were conceived through a virgin's womb. You can observe that this baby, conceived through God's power, was born to a virgin. This is the compelling story of the birth of Christ, and while you are celebrating the beginning of that story, you are also celebrating the end.

Don't forget about the poor and oppressed.

As the most famous religious holiday in the world, the opportune time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas is during this season. During this time, we are all more conscious that we are all connected by a shared humanity and that by participating in this season of giving, we are extending a warm and fuzzy feeling to people less fortunate than ourselves.

Look to Jesus for redemption.

When you celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, you are also celebrating the fact that through the death of Christ, our sins were forgiven, and a new relationship with God was begun. This is a time to think about how we can return the favor and be more welcoming to the people in our lives who have been having a rough time this past year. When you think about the poor and oppressed, you are also thinking about the people in your community who may not have had a chance to celebrate Christmas because they are struggling with their own economic issues. You can't make a wish for the whole world during this season of gifts because you are not going to change anyone's mind—only your heart. So instead of being hard on yourself for being so selfish as to forget about other people, you can look to Jesus for forgiveness and try to give him a warm and fuzzy on this birthday.

Conclusion

The true meaning of Christmas is about giving, and it is possible to celebrate Christmas without giving to others. This is the essence of Christmas, but some people choose to keep it out of duty or obligation. The truth is that Christmas is a time to spend with family, friends, and loved ones, but it can also be a time to give gifts to others. The key is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the son of God, in a way that makes His birth meaningful to the recipient.

As you can see, there are many ways to celebrate Christmas from a nutritional standpoint and keep Christ in Christmas. By carefully planning your celebration, you can avoid excess and focus on the good things that come with this beautiful holiday. If you are struggling with overeating or feeling stressed out this time of year, try to stay focused on the good in your life and schedule downtime for a relaxation exercise before the big day. This will help you stay in the Christmas spirit and focus on the true meaning of this most important holiday. Jesus Christ

A Visit from St. NicholasBY CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds;While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,With a little old driver so lively and quick,I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;So up to the housetop the coursers they flewWith the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;He had a broad face and a little round bellyThat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;A wink of his eye and a twist of his headSoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Thanksgiving with a Christian Point of View What are you thankful for?

Let us Talk about Thanksgiving.

There are so many things to be thankful for in life. From the most minor things, like a beautiful sunrise, to the bigger things, like being alive and having friends and family. Here are a few things that come to mind when I think about what I am thankful for.

Primarily, I am thankful for my family. Able to tell my that I loved her before she went home to be with Christ Jesus’ mom, last living sibling, my sister Eva Lee, my wife Deanna, and children are the most important people in my life, and I could not be happier to have them all around me. I am thankful for their love, support, and laughter.

I am also thankful for my friends. I have never had as many great friends as I do now, and I am grateful for every single one. They have helped me through some tough times; I think of them as my second family.

Lastly, I am thankful for my health. Although not perfect, and I have had my share of setbacks, I am happy with my health. I do not always feel great, but I know that I am lucky to be alive and able to do all the things that I love according to the will of God.

Giving thanks is a crucial part of the Christian faith. The Bible tells us to give thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18). And what better time to give thanks than Thanksgiving?

Giving thanks is a way of showing our dependence on God and His blessings. It is also a way of expressing gratitude for all He has done for us. When we give thanks, we acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God.

What a reason to give thanks! This Thanksgiving, let us remember to give thanks for all of God's blessings, big and small. Let us also remember to give thanks for His most extraordinary gift of all - His Son, Jesus Christ. Through Christ, we have been given the ultimate blessing of eternal life.

Thanksgiving is a time when most people take time to reflect and be thankful for the things they have in their lives. This may be why it is often considered one of the happiest holidays. But it can also be stressful, especially if you host friends or family for the first time. However, there is more to Thanksgiving than just food and football games. This holiday has a deeper meaning that harkens back to the Puritans, who first celebrated this special day in 1621 by giving thanks to God for their blessings. In fact, "The First Thanksgiving" was an event that brought together settlers from England and Native Americans as allies instead of enemies. As with any other Christian holiday, there are diverse ways you can celebrate Thanksgiving from a Christian point of view.

Keep the focus on giving thanks and celebrating abundance.

The central theme of the day should be. That is why the first pilgrims came together in the first place. If you want to go even further, you can incorporate the celebration of abundance. You cannot be grateful if you do not also have a bunch of blessings in your life. The Christian celebration of Thanksgiving invites us to celebrate the goodness of God by reflecting on all the blessings in our lives. Whether struggling or thriving, you can always find something to be grateful for.

Have a meal that reminds you of all you are grateful for.

The centerpiece of most Thanksgiving celebrations is the meal itself. But if you want to take things a step further, why not choose a food that reminds you of something you are grateful for? You can also select the type of food based on the person you are thankful for the most. This can be a friend, family member, or significant other. You can even make it a group celebration by choosing food that reminds you of your friends or community. If you want to do this in a way that is as inclusive as possible, you can ask each guest to bring a dish that represents something for which they are grateful.

Do not forget that helping others is one of the most important Christian values.

As someone welcoming guests into your home, you may need to emphasize that helping others is a prominent Christian value. However, the best way to do this is to demonstrate the importance of giving to others while planning and preparing for your celebration. This way, your guests will see your value first-hand in helping others. If you are hosting the meal, think of ways to help others by donating your time or money. This can be as simple as giving to your local food bank or helping a friend who needs extra hands. If you are attending a friend's celebration, think of ways to help that do not involve active hosting. For example, you can offer a side dish to share or even help clean up.

Help your guests understand why this holiday is unique to you as a Christian.

While celebrating the first Thanksgiving is a beautiful way to celebrate the Christian holiday, it is not the only way. You can also develop your traditions and help your guests understand why they are essential to you. You can go all out with a full-blown, themed celebration, or you can keep things simple by choosing one aspect of the holiday to focus on. This can be anything from the menu to the decorations. Let your guests know what you are planning so they can participate in the celebration to the best of their ability. If they are not Christians, tell them that the holiday is something you celebrate annually but that they do not need to participate in any religious aspects. You can even help them find ways to experience that do not have anything to do with Christianity.

Did you know Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the harvest season, and the holiday was first celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. The holiday is not a pagan holiday and is celebrated worldwide by Christians.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the harvest season, and the holiday was first celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. The holiday is not a pagan holiday and is celebrated worldwide by Christians. While Thanksgiving is celebrated by many people, there are some who believe that it is a pagan holiday. The holiday is not celebrated in England until the mid-18th century and in Canada until the late 1800s. The holiday is also not celebrated in Scotland until the late 19th century. The holiday is celebrated first in the United States and then in other countries worldwide.

Remember to continue celebrating when the holiday is over.

The holiday itself is excellent, but you do not have to stop celebrating when it is over. There are plenty of ways you can continue to focus on gratitude once the celebrations are over. A straightforward way is to keep a gratitude journal. Every day, write down one thing for which you are grateful. Once a week, read your diary so you can reflect on all the blessings in your life. This way, you can extend the holiday if possible and always remember to be grateful for everything you have. There are also more involved ways to continue the celebration even when the holiday is over. You can create an ongoing tradition that you perform every year on Thanksgiving, whether decorating your home for the winter season or baking a particular type of pie.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. But what if we could also give thanks for the ultimate blessing of eternal life through Christ Jesus? Just think, if it were not for Christ, we would have no hope of eternal life. So, this Thanksgiving, let us give thanks for the ultimate blessing of eternal life through Christ. Because without him, we would have no hope.

Also, invite Jesus into your home this Thanksgiving

Tell Jesus You're Thankful

Primarily, you can bring Jesus into the holiday by expressing gratitude to him. It is easy to get so caught up in the busyness of the season that you forget to pause and give thanks to the Divine Being, who is the source of all blessings. When people are often gathered during the holidays, it is a beautiful time to express gratitude. You can do this formally, such as having everyone at the table go around and say what they are grateful for. You can also do this informally while waiting for family members to arrive at a gathering.

Participate in a Thanksgiving Meal Ritual

One of the most important rituals of Thanksgiving is the meal itself. When was the last time you invited Jesus to sit at your table for a Thanksgiving meal? To ask Jesus into your holiday festivities this year, you can make the meal a memorable spiritual experience. You can do this in a few ways. You can start by ensuring that your table and surroundings are clean and tidy. This is not only respectful of your guests, but it also represents taking time to clean up your life and surroundings. You can also make sure that your table is set beautifully. This can be a highly creative activity that engages all your senses. For example, you may want to set the table with fall flowers and candles to create a beautiful atmosphere. You can also make the meal itself an act of worship! You can start by saying grace before eating or by making a special ritual out of blessing the food. You can also include special foods representing the fall season, such as pumpkins and apples. Finally, you can invite all your senses into the meal by creating a unique atmosphere and serving the dinner with special attention and care.

Light A Candle to Guide Your Thanks

Another way to invite Jesus into your meal is to light a candle to guide your thanks. You can do this after you have said grace or at any other time you want to give thanks during the meal. When lighting the candle, you can use it to help guide your thoughts and words so that you express gratitude in a beautiful and meaningful way. To do this, look at the flame, and allow it to draw you into a state of deep relaxation. Then, as you inhale, imagine that your breath fills the flame with gratitude. As you exhale, imagine the flame taking your breath and gratitude and guiding it toward the Divine Source of all blessings. Continue to do this until you feel that you have expressed your gratitude fully. You can also add words to your candle ritual by saying something like: "I give thanks for all the blessings in my life that come from above."

Read Scripture and Pray to Celebrate the Season

Another way to invite Jesus into your meal and holiday celebrations is to read scripture and pray to celebrate the season. Many Bible passages can be significant during Thanksgiving, such as the Psalms, Proverbs, and Gospels. You can use these to inspire your prayers and thoughts throughout the day. You can also try reading the Thanksgiving Prayer many people use during the holiday season, a beautiful prayer expressing gratitude and hope.

Have Guests Over for A Special Dinner

Finally, you can invite Jesus to your festivities by having guests for a special dinner. You can do this at any time during the season, but it could be significant to do it with family members, especially if they are not religious. Otherwise, you can invite friends with a spiritual focus or who share your spiritual beliefs. You can make the dinner a spiritual occasion by creating a unique atmosphere and serving the meal with special attention and care. You can create a beautiful table setting and make the dinner an act of worship, such as saying grace before eating.

Conclusion

The holiday season is a particular time of year to take a moment to reflect on the blessings you have in life. It is a time to slow down, enjoy time with loved ones, and be thankful for all you have. Bringing Jesus into the holiday season can be a beautiful way to do that.

When I share this, I'm speaking of myself as a military veteran that served 21 years of service to this country. And went through many ups and downs and had many doubts.

I also would like to share with not only veterans but everyone.

Christian service is noble, sacrificial, and life-changing. At the same time, serving as a Christian soldier is challenging and often lonely. As a result, veterans who identify as Christians sometimes feel isolated from their faith and unprepared for their post-military life. Thankfully, several Christian organizations support veterans with unique benefits and services. But you don't need to be an active member of any organization to remain vibrant in your faith, pursue God's will for your life, and transition smoothly into civilian life. This quick-read ebook podcast will explore Christian veterans' challenges, specifically as they transition from military service into civilian life. From there, we'll get you ready to take the next step toward becoming a thriving veteran who knows what you believe and why you believe it!

Christian veterans struggle to find their place in civilian life.

For many veterans, the military is the only way they know how to make a living. As such, veterans often struggle to identify their new selves in civilian life. What do you do with your skills and expertise? And where do you belong if you can't remember a place for yourself? Veterans often find themselves alone, sitting uneasily between civilians and fellow veterans. This can create a "no man's land" where you struggle with your own identity as you question where you belong. This feeling is familiar among veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. While many civilians can walk away from service knowing they made a difference, veterans often don't. They were caught up in the mission and the mission alone. While the task was necessary, the veterans frequently asked what their service meant.

Christian veterans struggle to maintain a healthy relationship with God.

Veterans who walk away from active duty often wonder how they can continue to trust and follow God. For many, the decision to walk away from military service was to walk away from God. This makes it challenging to maintain a healthy relationship with God. Where do you start? How do you trust again after putting your trust in yourself and others who ultimately failed you? As a Christian veteran, you must seek a healthy relationship with God. This relationship will help you regain your faith and grow as you trust God to see you through your post-military life.

Christian veterans struggle with depression and anxiety.

While we don't have enough data to know how prevalent mental health struggles are among veterans, we do know that veterans who identify as Christians are more likely to struggle with anxiety and depression. There are many reasons for this. Among them, veterans who identify as Christians often struggle to find their place in civilian life. They work to maintain a healthy relationship with God, and, as a result, they struggle to understand the point of their service. As a Christian veteran, you must understand the signs of depression and anxiety and seek help as soon as they arise. You must also realize what an unhealthy relationship with God looks like. You can challenge these issues independently, but you will likely face significant challenges and setbacks. It's best to seek the help of a qualified and experienced mental health professional.

Christian veterans have difficulty finding purpose and meaning in their service.

As a Christian veteran, you may need help understanding the point of your service and the service itself. The challenge here is to recognize that your service's effectiveness differs from the service itself. The fact is the impact of your service on those around you. The best way to understand the point of your service is to ask yourself a straightforward question: "What difference did my service make, and how did it make a difference?" If you're having difficulty answering this question, it may be because you have yet to witness your service's impact. If this is the case, you can continue to trust God during this waiting period. Trust that God has a plan for your kindness and service itself. As you await God's plan, you must remember that the point of your service is the impact of your service on others.

Christian veterans struggle to understand where they fit in the Church.

As a Christian veteran, you may have difficulty understanding where you fit in the Church. After all, you're no longer in uniform and not a part of a specific unit or community. While your service will inform your role in the Church, you'll likely find that you're not restricted to any single position or community. As a veteran, you may find yourself in various settings, including in a civilian congregation, a veteran's Church, online, or even in prison. Whatever role or community you find yourself in, you can learn more about your faith and how you fit into the Church by reading the Bible (both the New Testament and the Psalms are great places to start), attending a Bible study, or even joining a veteran's Bible study.

Conclusion

When you're ready to jump into your post-military life and know who you are and what you believe, you'll find it easier to be the best version of yourself! As a Christian veteran, you must understand the challenges you face in becoming a thriving veteran who knows what you believe and why you believe it. You can use the information in this article to prepare for the long and challenging journey ahead.

Why I Choose To Celebrate Veteran's Day As A Christian

The Bible contains plenty of information about serving in the military. While many of the Bible's references to the military are only analogies, several verses directly relate to this question. The Bible does not explicitly state whether or not someone should serve in the military. At the same time, Christians can rest assured that being a soldier is highly respected throughout the Scriptures and know that such service is consistent with a biblical worldview.

The first example of military service was in the Old Testament (Genesis 14) when Abraham's nephew Lot was kidnapped by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and his allies. Abraham rallied to Lot's aid by gathering 318 trained men from his household and defeating the Elamites. Here we see armed forces engaged in a noble task—rescuing and protecting the innocent.

Late in its history, the nation of Israel developed a standing army. The sense that God was the Divine Warrior and would protect His people regardless of their military strength may have been why Israel was slow to develop an army. The development of a regular standing army in Israel came only after Saul, David, and Solomon developed a robust, centralized political system. Saul was the first to form a permanent army (1 Samuel 13:2; 24:2; 26:2).

What Saul began, David continued. He increased the army, hired troops from other regions loyal to him alone (2 Samuel 15:19-22), and turned over the direct leadership of his armies to a commander-in-chief, Joab. Under David, Israel also became more aggressive in its offensive military policies, absorbing neighboring states like Ammon (2 Samuel 11:1; 1 Chronicles 20:1-3). David established a system of rotating troops with twelve groups of 24,000 men serving one month of the year (1 Chronicles 27). Although Solomon's reign was peaceful, he further expanded the army, adding chariots and horsemen (1 Kings 10:26). The standing army continued (though divided along with the kingdom after the death of Solomon) until 586 B.C. when Israel (Judah) ceased to exist as a political entity.

In the New Testament, Jesus marveled when a Roman centurion (an officer in charge of one hundred soldiers) approached Him. The centurion's response to Jesus indicated his clear understanding of authority and his faith in Jesus (Matthew 8:5-13). Jesus did not denounce his career. Many centurions mentioned in the New Testament are praised as Christians, God-fearers, and men of good character (Matthew 8:5; 27:54; Mark 15:39-45; Luke 7:2; 23:47; Acts 10:1; 21:32; 28:16).

The places and the titles may have changed, but our armed forces should be just as valued as the centurions of the Bible. The position of a soldier was highly respected. For example, Paul describes Epaphroditus, a fellow Christian, as a "fellow soldier" (Philippians 2:25). The Bible also uses military terms to describe being strong in the Lord by putting on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20), including the tools of the soldier—helmet, shield, and sword.

Yes, the Bible does address serving in the military, directly and indirectly. Those who honorably serve in the military deserve our respect and gratitude. Christian men and women who serve their country with character, dignity, and honor can rest assured that our sovereign God condones and respects the civic duty they perform.

There are many national holidays that Christians may struggle with. Veteran's Day is one of those. Many Christians perceive it as a secular holiday and perhaps even a bit un-Christian. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. When we look beyond the surface, there are many Christian principles within Veteran's Day that can help us grow in our faith. Let's explore why as Christians, we should embrace Veterans Day rather than shy away from it.

Decoration And Acknowledgement Of The Fallen

Veteran's Day is about more than just celebrating our armed forces; it is about paying tribute to those who have fallen in combat and continue fighting for our freedom today. While we honor those who have served, we should also remember those lost during the war. Let's take a moment to reflect on how their sacrifice has impacted us. Veterans Day is a way to remember our fallen brothers and sisters in arms. It is a chance for us to pay homage to those who have sacrificed everything for our freedom. We should also remember those who are currently serving. We can't forget that they are fighting for our freedom right now and deserve just as much recognition as those who have fallen before us.

Veterans Day Is About Honoring And Remembering Those Who Have Sacrificed

Veterans Day is not just a day to celebrate the lives of those who have served in the military. It is also a day to remember the lives of those who have been lost. When we celebrate Veteran's Day, we should have a special remembrance for those who have given their lives in the name of freedom. Veterans Day is a chance for us to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. It is a chance for us to reflect on how their lives have impacted our own. We should not only reflect on the positive impact they have made. We should also be willing to acknowledge the impact their sacrifice has had on our lives.

We Should Celebrate All Holidays That Help Build Good Character

Veteran's Day is not only about remembering those who have fallen but also about celebrating the virtues of those who are serving. Veteran's Day is a chance to celebrate the integrity of those serving in the military. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate their courage, honor, and self-sacrifice in the name of freedom. Christianity is all about promoting good character. Veteran's Day allows us to demonstrate and celebrate the virtues of those serving in the military. It is a chance for us to show gratitude and appreciation for their work. It is a day for us to remember that freedom isn't free. It is a day for us to show honor, gratitude, and appreciation for those currently serving.

Biblical Principle: Duty To Our Fellow Man

One of the core Christian principles is that we have a duty to our fellow man. We are to respect and care for others just as we would want them to care for us. On Veteran's Day, we have the opportunity to show our gratitude and appreciation for those serving in the military. We have the chance to help those who are sacrificing for our freedom. We can offer our gratitude by volunteering at a veteran's home, donating to veterans' charities, or even simply thanking a veteran for their service in person if you happen to see them. We don't need a specific day to show gratitude for our fellow man. However, Veteran's Day provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate appreciation for those who are currently serving.

Biblical Principle: Commemorate Those We Have Lost And Show Respecting For Life

Another Christian principle demonstrated on Veteran's Day is commemorating those we have lost and showing respect for life. Veteran's Day is a day to celebrate those who we have lost. It is a day to remember those who have given their lives for our freedom. Veteran's Day is also a chance to show respect for life. It is a chance for us to acknowledge that every life is precious. Every life is extraordinary and has a unique gift to give. Veteran's Day allows us to recognize the lives of those who have been lost while also celebrating the lives of those currently serving.

Biblical Principle: Be Prepared To Defend Our Faith, Country, And Others

I'm a Christian with PTSD God can even use my situation for His glory

Mt acronym for PTSD = PRAYER -THANKFUL-STEADFAST-DEDICATED (TO TRUST IN GOD)

I have military service-connected disabilities, and yes, there were moments when I even had suicidal thoughts because I felt like I was a burden to my family. I found myself withdrawing from society and avoiding social situations at all costs.

I did not want to be around people, but my wife kept pushing me to seek help and got me back into the church. While symptoms of PTSD won't ever go away, through treatment, they can be managed and remain dormant, so living and thriving with PTSD is possible.

FYI only People who have experienced a traumatic event and have PTSD are at greater risk of attempting suicide. About 27% of those diagnosed with PTSD have attempted suicide. Last month, the media reported on three separate yet related death by suicide in just one week. Does PTSD damage the brain?

According to recent studies, Emotional Trauma and PTSD cause brain and physical damage. Neuropathologists have seen overlapping effects of physical and emotional trauma upon the brain. Although The Bible does not say anything specifically about Posttraumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD, I can glean much guidance from some indirect teachings in the Bible.

What is PTSD: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury. Yes, I have a treatment process involving physical, mental, and spiritual healing. I also require professional help. My treatment is ongoing.

I have gotten many resources from the VA hospital.

Medication has helped alleviate some of my symptoms. I m thankful to have a network of support—counselors, doctors, my family members, pastors, and the church family—it has been essential in my recovery process.

Of course, my most important support is God, our ultimate Healer, and Counselor. David wrote, "From the ends of the earth I call to you, / I call as my heart grows faint; / lead me to the rock that is higher than I. / For you have been my refuge, / a strong tower against the foe" (Psalm 61:2–3). It is our responsibility to exercise faith in God, to stay in the Word, to cry out to God in prayer, and to maintain fellowship with other believers.

We go to God in our distress and use the resources He provides.

Regardless of the circumstances, there is hope. First and foremost, that hope comes from God.

Posttraumatic stress disorder can be devastating, but I must remember that I was not alone in my struggles.

Many others have dealt with PTSD, and resources are available to help you. It can be challenging to get through each day when you're struggling with PTSD, but staying positive and focused on the good in your life is essential.

You deserve happiness in your life, and you deserve to be healthy. There are many ways to cope with PTSD, but staying in God's Word does help. By changing your thinking, focusing on the good, practicing self-care, and finding a support group, you can manage your PTSD and find joy in your life again. I did. I discovered that Changing my perspective helped me stop feeling sorry for myself and focus on the good things God has blessed me with in my life. Finding humor in my situation allows me to laugh away some of my stress and fear.

I had to learn to speak the truth about practical things; it was challenging but also necessary. Often, I felt endangered when the situation did not warrant it.

Remind me that going to Walmart or any store is not a traumatic event but a new and safe situation. This is important. It is also essential to say that PTSD is not an excuse for bad behavior. Likely, PTSD will contribute to opposing thoughts and behavior patterns. This is understandable, but it should be resisted.

James 4:7 New International Version Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

When we encounter trauma, it's natural to have an immediate and often intense response. After all, the human brain was not designed to experience these kinds of events.

When we are suddenly confronted with danger, it triggers the "fight-or-flight" response in our brains. This is an automatic reaction that our ancestors needed when they were in trouble — but unfortunately, these responses are now triggered by experiences that are not physically threatening.

Fortunately, as Christians, we do not have to leave suffering unaddressed or unresolved just because we believe that Jesus has already won the final victory over evil and sin.

With Christ and his Holy Spirit living within us, we can still find a way forward from any traumatic event and begin to heal from its effects on our lives. If you or someone you know has experienced trauma from abuse or other events and needs help understanding how the Christian faith can help with PTSD, read for some suggestions.

Know that God cares about you and will help you heal.

Jesus suffered significant trauma in his life — not only on the cross but also in his childhood when he was separated from his mother and had to confront the injustices of his society. Jesus also lived with the knowledge that he would suffer an unjust death.

Like Jesus, you can rely on God's presence and love when you feel most alone. God is always with you and will help you heal from the trauma you have experienced. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to get to know God better. Read his Word to find out what he thinks about you and the trauma you've experienced.

Remember that you are not alone.

When you suffer trauma, it's important to remember that you aren't alone.

The Bible tells us that we've all experienced hardships due to living as human beings on this broken planet. One of the most reassuring passages for those suffering trauma is Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." God's Word tells you that you are not alone; others have endured the same suffering and survived, and so can you. It would be best if you reached out to others in your community who can be there for you when needed. You may want to find a local trauma survivors' support group or a counselor who can help you connect with others who have also experienced trauma.

Acknowledge your feelings, but don't rely on them exclusively.

When we encounter trauma, we are often encouraged to express our feelings, but it's important not to rely too much on them.

For example, if you were sexually abused as a child, it's not healthy to continually re-experience those emotions or sensations in your body. Instead, you want to acknowledge those feelings and emotions and then focus on healing from them.

You can do this by writing down your memories, speaking to them to a trusted friend or counselor, or engaging in other activities that can help you process what has happened without re-experiencing the trauma again and again. You can do this for any traumatic event in your life: a car crash, the death of a loved one, acts of violence, or natural disasters. Remember Can PTSD be permanent?

In some cases, mainly where it is not treated, PTSD can last a very long time, perhaps the remainder of one's life. Most people with longstanding PTSD find that the symptoms are not steady in severity. For some people, PTSD symptoms gradually fade over time. I have developed insomnia and sleep apnea and still wake up in a sweat. I still react to sudden movement or noise. However, I continue to work on myself through God and my wife and ongoing counsel.

Identify what helps you feel safe.

Some people want to avoid the situations that trigger their trauma. Others want to face their fears. It's essential to identify what helps you feel safe: • Avoiding certain people or places. • Facing your fears. • Engaging in activities that help you relax. • Engaging in activities that help you feel strong. • Connect with friends or family members who can support you. • Spending time in nature. • Reading scripture. • Praying. • Seeking professional counseling — these are just a few of the many ways you can begin to heal from trauma. My wife convinced me to join the recreation center's American Legion and silver sneakers and pursue my photography hobby.

Find a trusted counselor and build a support network.

Talking with a professional counselor can help you process your trauma and find new ways to cope with your anxiety, fear, or other negative emotions. It can be helpful to talk with someone who understands what you're going through and who can help you process and heal from the trauma you have experienced in your life. It's also essential to build a support network of people who can be there for you when you need them. You may want to find a support group or start visiting a counselor who can help you find others like you who are going through similar things.

Take care of your body by eating well and exercising.

Taking care of your body is an essential part of healing from trauma. Eating well and exercising can help you to feel empowered, relaxed, and strong. In addition, taking care of your body can remind you that you are worth taking care of. You can do whatever works for you: meditative exercises like yoga or tai chi, physical exercise like running or weight-lifting, eating well by eating a balanced diet — it's essential to find something that works for you. One important thing to remember is that you don't have to get over trauma in one day or even a few months. Healing takes time and is an ongoing process — but you don't have to go through this alone.

Conclusion

Life can be difficult and painful. But when we know how to handle these difficult experiences, we can find life more meaningful. If you have PTSD, you must reach out to others who can help you. It's also important to remember that God loves you and cares about you deeply, and he wants to help you through your pain and suffering. You don't have to go through this alone.

Reminder: PTSD is a complex challenge requiring strong faith in God and willingness to persevere. But God is faithful, and each day we can choose to surrender to God's love, battle the PTSD as best we can, and ultimately rest in God's grace and compassion.

PTSD is not something to ignore but something to turn over to God and actively engage with. We are invited to approach God boldly and pour our hearts into Him (Hebrews 4:14–16).

We are assured that nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:35–38). God can restore the mental health of the person living with PTSD. In the end, God can even use the situation for His glory. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:3–5).

God's Plans or Your Plans

God's plans never fail and always lead us to a happy ending, but that doesn't mean we won't get scared or feel like giving up. Feelings are real and can take over your mind, giving you second thoughts about continuing with what you believe is the right path. However, if you keep listening to your fears, you will never know what God has in store for you. If we let fear control our actions, we might miss out on the great things that are waiting for us around the corner. Whatever challenges come our way, trusting God is the most important thing we must do to succeed. With these inspiring quotes about trusting God when everything feels off, you will be able to remind yourself that it's not about your plans or His plans but rather His plan for your life.

Change your perspective

When everything feels off, and you're second-guessing every choice you make, you might want to consider changing your perspective. We can all change our perception of an event, situation, or person and start seeing things differently. If your life is feeling off, start looking at things with a new perspective. You might discover that you have nothing to worry about. You can change how you feel by changing how you look at things. If you are stressed out and feel things aren't going well, try looking at the situation differently. Break down the problem into smaller pieces, and focus on the positives. By changing your perspective, you might realize everything is going according to plan.

Don't be afraid to fail.

When you're walking through life, there will be moments when you will feel like everything is going wrong. You may feel like you're failing at life and don't know where to go from here. You may feel like giving up and quitting everything you've been trying to achieve. At these moments, you must remember not to be afraid to fail. If you forget this one thing, it doesn't mean you're a failure as a whole. Everyone fails at some point in their lives. All great people who have ever walked the face of the planet have failed. This is how we learn to grow and get better. If you don't make mistakes, you can't learn from them. Failing at something doesn't make you a failure; it makes you human.

It's not about you

Sometimes we get so caught up in our own lives and plans that we start to forget that it's not about us. It's about what God has planned for us. We will make mistakes. We will feel lost and lonely. We will question our faith. This is all part of our journey, and it's OK to feel this way. When you get overwhelmed with your feelings, remember that it's not about you. It's about God. God has a plan for your life, and he has your back. He sees you when you are in the depths of despair, and he hears your cries for help. He is there for you. He wants you to know that he is with you through the ups and downs of life.

God won't give you more than you can handle

There will be moments in your life when you feel like you're being tested. You will face many obstacles, and you will struggle to find a way to get past your fears. You will feel like giving up and want to walk away from your journey. This is when you must remember that God won't give you more than you can handle. Every situation you encounter is meant to help shape who you are as a person so you can grow into a better person. You are not meant to go through life without facing any obstacles. They help you grow and become a better version of yourself. You can get through anything you're faced with. Remember that God won't give you more than you can handle.

Take time to reflect.

When the universe feels turned upside down, and you want to give up, take time out of your day to reflect. Reflect on your past and experiences, or even those who have played a role in your life. Think about the things you have learned and how you have grown. Reflecting on your past can help you realize that you can do great things. You have what it takes to make it through the tough times and succeed in whatever journey you're on.

Bottom line

The universe is a crazy place, and it will throw us curve balls regularly. It can be hard to know what to do when everything feels off. You might get scared and feel like giving up, or you might have to force yourself to move forward. Regardless of your thoughts, you must remember that it's not about your or God's plans. It's about God's plan for your life.

Never let fear make you question your decisions, as God's plans always result in a happy ending. Even if we get scared or feel like giving up, when we follow God's plans, they will lead us to a good place. When you listen to your fears, you will never know what God has in store for you.

Whatever challenges arise, trusting God is the most important thing you can do to succeed. We must heed God's plans rather than our own if we wish to achieve. In these inspiring quotes on trusting God despite everything going wrong, you'll be able to remind yourself that it's not about His plans versus your plans, but rather His plan for your life.

In the book of Galatians, Paul challenges the church to "Stand firm and do not be intimidated." In verses 17-19, he encourages them by reminding them of who they are in Christ. As believers, we have an identity in Christ that is much more than what we were before salvation. We are saved and set free from the penalty of sin, but we also have a new identity. In this booklet/podcast, you'll learn about your identity in Christ, how it changes everything, and how it should impact everything. Read on to discover more about your new identity in Christ as a follower of Jesus.

What does it mean to have an Identity in Christ?

The first part of Galatians 4:4 reads, "In Christ you are..." This is your identity in Christ. It is the place you find yourself as a believer. To have an identity in Christ means having an identity in relationship to Jesus. Your identity in Christ is an excellent reminder of what you were, who you are now, and who you are yet to be. First, it reminds you of what you were. Before salvation, you were a slave to sin. You were captive to the power of sin, held by its grip, unable to break free. The Christian life is not about trying to live a perfect life. You were not saved to try and be good enough. Instead, you were saved from being set free. With God's help, you've been free from sin's power and given power over sin. Second, it reminds you of who you are now. As a believer, you are set free from the power of sin. You are no longer a slave to sin but a slave to righteousness. You are not just set free from the penalty of sin; you are also set free from the law of sin and death. No longer are you held captive by its power. You have been adopted as a child of God and have a new identity as God's child.

You are no longer a slave to sin.

First, you are no longer a slave to sin as a believer. Sin has a hold on all of us. Sinful desires and tendencies are a part of our fallen state. Because of the fall, we are all born with a sinful nature. That sinfulness is directed toward our relationship with God. We are sinful and want to do sin. We want to do what is against God and His word. We want to live our lives our way and on our terms. We are in an ongoing struggle with our sinful nature. In Christ, you are no longer a slave to sin. You are free from its power and have the power to fight it. In Christ, you have been given the ability and capacity to defeat sin and to live above it. You have been given a new nature, a new heart, and a new spirit. You are now a new person because the older person has been crucified with Christ. You have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. He lives in you, empowering and enabling you to live above sin and be set free.

You are set free from the law of sin and death.

Second, as a believer, you have been set free from the law of sin and death. Law is a rule or standard. The law of sin and death refers to the practice or standard given in the Old Testament. It is a rule written on the hearts of humans that they failed to live up to. The law of sin and death refers to the power of sin and death holding humans back from eternal life. In Christ, you have been set free from the law of sin and death. You are set free from the power holding you back from your potential and the life you were meant to live. The law of sin and death was a rule written on your heart. It was within you holding you back from being all that God created you to be. In Christ, you have been set free from the law of sin and death. In Christ, you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. He lives in you, empowering and enabling you to live above sin and be set free.

You have been adopted as a child of God.

Third, you have been adopted as a child of God as a believer. God, the author of life, created you and has great plans for you. In Christ, you are adopted as a child. This means that God has adopted you into His family. You are no longer just a friend or a companion but a child of God. Through His Son, Jesus, God has adopted you as His child. You have been given a new identity as God's child. You have also been given a new name. Your name is no longer the one your parents gave you. Instead, it is the name of a son or a daughter of God. God gives you His name and an identity as a son or a daughter. You are God's child, and you are called to represent Him.

How does your Christian Identity change everything?

Your identity in Christ is everything. It is where you find yourself and how you see yourself. It is your past, present, and future. In Christ, your past has been forgiven and forgotten. Your present is transformed, and your future is filled with hope and promise. You were saved and set free from the penalty of sin, but you also have a new identity. You are no longer a slave to sin, set free from the law of sin and death, and adopted as a child of God. Your Christian identity changes everything. Everything changes because you have an identity in Christ. The Christian life is not about trying to live a perfect life. It is about living above sin and being set free. It is about living in light of your new identity. You no longer have to live a life that is frustrated and caught up in the power of sin. You can live a life set free from the penalty and law of sin and death. You can live a life empowered by the Holy Spirit and live above sin, and be set free. Your identity in Christ should lead you to live in light of your new identity. As a child of God, you should live like one. You were bought with a price and are no longer an enslaved person but a child. You were adopted into God's family. You were given a new name and a new identity. You are no longer a slave to sin. You've been set free from the law of sin and death. You are a child of God, adopted and given a new identity. Your Christian Identity changes everything.

It should lead you to live in light of your new identity.

Your identity in Christ should lead you to live in light of your new identity. You are not saved to try and be good enough. You are dedicated to being set free. God has set you free from the penalty of sin and the law of sin and death. He has adopted you as His child and given you a new identity. You are no longer a slave to sin but a child of God. You are no longer just a friend or companion but a child of God. You were bought with a price, and you are no longer a slave but a child. The Christian life is about living as God's child. It is about living above sin, being set free, and being empowered by the Holy Spirit. It is about living in light of your new identity.

And finally…

The first part of Galatians 4:4 reads, "In Christ you are..." This is your identity in Christ. It is the place you find yourself as a believer. To have an identity in Christ means having an identity in relationship to Jesus. Your identity in Christ is an excellent reminder of what you were, who you are now, and who you are yet to be. That identity is everything. It is where you find yourself and how you see yourself. In Christ, your past has been forgiven and forgotten. Your present is transformed, and your future is filled with hope and promise. You were saved and set free from the penalty of sin, but you also have a new identity. You are no longer a slave to sin, set free from the law of sin and death, and adopted as a child of God. Because of your identity in Christ, everything changes. Your Christian life is not about trying to live a perfect life. It is about living above sin and being set free. Your identity in Christ should lead you to live in

Welcome to Wake up Castle Rock. Wake up, America.

We are living in a world of corruption, destruction, hypocrisy murderous individuals, and was sad about it is that a lot of this is the outcome many political leaders have taken God and Jesus out of our nation.

I think some people question where's God. The reality, we all need Jesus, from the sinner to the Saint, from the prison to the politician, from the church members to the pastors. We all need Jesus.

God is right here with us. We must continue faith, hope, and trust in God and never lose heart.

We all know, at least I hope that we all know, that in God's word, this says there will be wars and rumors of

wars; take a good look around you. Are we living in end times? I believe we are, but if that date is near, none of us truly knows. I can only hope and pray that Christians will wake up and share the gospel of Jesus Christ and not be afraid to do it.

I also hope to pray that non-believers will come to Christ and also pray that these political leaders, those that have hearts of stone, God will give them a heart of flesh, so they will realize what they are doing.

You know, I don't care too much about watching the news. It is very depressing a times. It's just one-sided. It's OK for them to promote homosexuality, yet they do not want to promote the virtues of living for Christ.

You have churches that are being burned down, people that believe in pro-life are being attacked but yet that somebody says something negative about homosexuals, they want to take you to court they want to say, oh, that is a hate crime it's very confusing what about the hate crimes that it's been formed and that have been targeted against Christians.

I am not that naive not to think that someone will say something negative about this podcast. They will hate me for being a Christian speaking the gospel truth. Still, it's OK because if they say something negative about this podcast, all they do is what it says in God's word.

Jesus said in this world you would have trouble, you would have tribulation but take heart he has overcome the world. Jesus also said you would be persecuted. And I'm not going to lie; I genuinely believe that some who profess to be Christians are afraid to stand up for Christ because I might lose my job or fear what people would think of me.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.

DUCT TAPE

It can fix many things, but it cannot improve stupidity -ignorance-foolishness-arrogance

Has Covid caused many just to go stupid-foolish-arrogant-ignorant-You decide

Many people lack knowledge; yes, this includes our elected leaders but rather than trying to find it, they don't. Fools remain in stupidity and would rather live in evil than learn the way of righteousness. Just take a look around rainbow fentanyl pills-hate crime mounting up-yale professor working with 3-year old’s on their gender journey-john Kerry climate hypocrisy-man arrested for buying body parts-foot floating in yellow stone park-people sucker punching innocent bystanders- Body found in Clear Creek in Adams County; investigation underway Shooting outside a sports bar in Aurora and so much more.

Look at what Scripture teaches about being stupid

Proverbs 9:13 Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing.
Ecclesiastes 7:25 I searched everywhere, determined to find wisdom and to understand the reason for things. I was determined to prove to myself that wickedness is stupid and that foolishness is madness.
2 Timothy 3:7 Always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
Proverbs 27:12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Ecclesiastes 10:1-3 As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.
Proverbs 14:23-24 In hard work, there is always profit, but too much chattering leads to poverty. The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the stupidity of fools is just that—stupidity!
Psalm 10:4 The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead.

Fools hate getting corrected.

Proverbs 12:1 The person who loves correction loves knowledge, but anyone who hates a rebuke is stupid.

Idol worshipping

Jeremiah 10:8-9 People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood! They bring beaten sheets of silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, and they give these materials to skillful craftsmen who make their idols. Then they dress these gods in royal blue and purple robes made by expert tailors.
Jeremiah 10:14-16 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false. There is no life in them. They're worthless, a work of mockery, and when the time of punishment comes, they'll perish. The Portion of Jacob is not like these. He made everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name.

Reminders

2 Timothy 2:23-24 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
Proverbs 13:16 All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly.

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or understanding. Ignorant people are either unaware or uninformed. Sometimes we are ignorant because we do not know there is a need to learn something. Other times, we are ignorant because we have chosen not to learn something we need to know. In Hosea 4:6, the Lord says, "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you." Willfully rejecting knowledge that God wants us to have is sinful ignorance. While unintentional ignorance about earthly topics is understandable, intentional ignorance about spiritual matters can lead to eternal destruction (Romans 1:18–23).

The Bible makes a distinction between ignorance and innocence. We don't have to be ignorant of sin; we can be highly informed about sin yet remain innocent of it. But we should all be ignorant about the practice of evil. Ephesians 5:11–12 says, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret." In Matthew 10:16, Jesus warned us, "I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."

We must know how our enemy functions to fight the spiritual battle. Believers are encouraged to forgive each other "so that Satan would not outwit us; for we are not ignorant of his designs" (2 Corinthians 2:11, ESV). Ignorance about what the devil is up to—and ignorance of the damage done by unforgiveness—is dangerous to our spiritual health. One of Satan's basic tactics is to keep people ignorant: "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:4). Ignorant people are easy prey for those with wicked schemes (Psalm 1:1–2; Proverbs 7:6–7, 21–23).

God says that idolatry springs from spiritual ignorance: "Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save" (Isaiah 45:20). Ignorance of the true God is unjustifiable because the knowledge of God's existence and power is available all around us (Romans 1:18–23). People who substitute false gods instead of pursuing the real God are sinfully ignorant.

Hebrews 5:2 says that Jesus is "able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray since he himself is subject to weakness." God has great patience, even with the ignorant. Even when we are willfully ignorant, He gives us a multitude of opportunities to learn (2 Peter 3:9). Paul said that God showed him mercy because, before Jesus saved him, he had "acted in ignorance and unbelief" (1 Timothy 1:13; Acts 3:17).

God commands us to repent of our ignorance and seek Him with all our hearts (Acts 17:30; Jeremiah 29:13). The opposite of spiritual ignorance is wisdom, and we are told to seek wisdom above all things (Proverbs 3:13–18). Fortunately, knowledge is readily accessible; the book of Proverbs personifies wisdom as a noble lady who is calling out to all publicly: "To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it" (Proverbs 8:4–5). Every time the Bible commands us to "listen" or "hear," God gives us a chance to trade ignorance for His wisdom.

Foolishness results from a person misusing the intelligence God has given him. A fool uses his reasoning skills to make wrong decisions. The most basic type of foolishness is denying God's existence or saying "no" to God (Psalm 14:1). The Bible associates folly with a quick temper (Proverbs 14:16–17), perverse speech (Proverbs 19:1), and disobedience to parents (Proverbs 15:5). We are born with innate foolishness. Still, discipline will help train us in wisdom (Proverbs 22:15).

Proverbs 19:3 says that foolishness is counterproductive: "A person's folly leads to their ruin." Jesus in Mark 7:22 uses a word that means "senselessness" and is translated as "folly." In that context, Jesus describes what comes out of the heart of man and defiles him. Foolishness is one of the pieces of evidence that man has a defiled, sinful nature. Proverbs 24:9 says, "The schemes of folly are sin." Foolishness, then, is the breaking of God's law, for sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4).

To the fool, God's way is foolishness. "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing." (1 Corinthians 1:18; cf. verse 23). The gospel seems foolish to the unsaved because it doesn't make sense to them. The fool is entirely out of phase with God's wisdom. The gospel goes against the unbeliever's native intelligence and reason, yet "God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe" (1 Corinthians 1:21).

The believer in Christ receives the very nature of God (2 Peter 1:4), which includes the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). By relying on the Holy Spirit's indwelling power, the believer can reject foolishness. His thoughts can please the Lord, and he can make decisions that glorify God as he enriches his life and the lives of those around him (Philippians 4:8–9; Ephesians 5:18—6:4).

When it comes to our eternal destiny, one is either a fool, meaning he rejects the gospel of Christ, or one is wise, meaning he believes in Christ and commits his life to Him (see Matthew 7:24–27). The believer discovers that the gospel—what he thought was foolishness—is, in reality, the wisdom of God providing him eternal salvation.

Has Covid caused many just to go stupid-foolish-arrogant-ignorant-

You decide

Look at what Scripture teaches about being stupid.

Proverbs 9:13 Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing.
Ecclesiastes 7:25 I searched everywhere, determined to find wisdom and to understand the reason for things. I was determined to prove to myself that wickedness is stupid and that foolishness is madness.
2 Timothy 3:7 Always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
Proverbs 27:12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Ecclesiastes 10:1-3 As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.
Proverbs 14:23-24 In hard work, there is always profit, but too much chattering leads to poverty. The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the stupidity of fools is just that—stupidity!
Psalm 10:4 The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead.

Fools hate getting corrected.

Proverbs 12:1 The person who loves correction loves knowledge, but anyone who hates a rebuke is stupid.

Idol worshipping

Jeremiah 10:8-9 People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood! They bring beaten sheets of silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, and they give these materials to skillful craftsmen who make their idols. Then they dress these gods in royal blue and purple robes made by expert tailors.
Jeremiah 10:14-16 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false. There is no life in them. They're worthless, a work of mockery, and when the time of punishment comes, they'll perish. The Portion of Jacob is not like these. He made everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name.

Reminders

2 Timothy 2:23-24 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
Proverbs 13:16 All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly.

Is It Okay to Push or force Homosexual Ideas on People? Welcome to wake up castle rock and America. I'm your host Willie Ayers.

‍I remember when many spoke about Christian trying to force religion on others; however, I do not hear anyone speaking of homosexuals forcing their ideas on others, including children.

You turn on the tv or go to a movie nine times out of 10; there with be an act of homosexual activity or conversation eluding to it.

Many researchers cite environmental factors as major contributors to homosexual feelings. They firmly believe that negative early childhood experiences in an unloving or non-supportive home environment are a critical part of this process.

In the modern world, it's evident that there are many different ideas about what is right and what is wrong. It doesn't take much to see that Christians and homosexuals have very different viewpoints on what is acceptable behavior. Many people today don't believe in God or think he doesn't exist. To many non-believers, it seems clear that the Christian faith is outdated and irrelevant. But the truth is that we live in a world where people make decisions about their eternity every day. The Bible makes it clear that everyone will answer to God one day, no matter who they are or what they have done on earth. In this podcast, I will be discussing homosexual ideas vs. Christian views on love and relationships with a further focus on gay marriage and Christianity.

The Problem with Same-Sex Marriage for Christians For many people, it might seem like a good idea to have people marry whomever they want, regardless of their sex. But Christians have a problem with this because they believe God designs marriage between one man and one woman. They reason that only a man and woman can create a family and be there for each other in a way that nobody else can. Christian marriage is based on God's creation of humans, male and female. That marriage was designed to bring together two individuals of the opposite sex for a life-long relationship to love and care for one another and raise children.

The Bible and Homosexuality The Bible has a lot to say on various topics, and homosexuality is one of them. When people try to discuss the issue of homosexuality and Christianity, the first thing they often do is look at specific passages in the Bible that talk about it. The Bible makes it clear that the act of homosexuality is a sin. God created humans, male and female, and he didn't make any others. According to the story in the book of Genesis, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. But just because the Bible condemns homosexuality, that doesn't mean that every person who is gay is automatically going to hell. The Bible clarifies that no person is beyond God's mercy if they ask for it.

What the Bible Says About Homosexuality and Marriage Homosexuality is against the Bible, but it isn't the worst sin out there. Homosexuality is a sin, but not all sins are equal. We know, for example, that murder is a much worse crime than lying. Similarly, some sins are worse than others, and homosexuality is one of them. By committing this sin, a person rejects the gift of gender that God has given them. In dismissing their God-given identity, they leave a core part of who they are. So, the Bible doesn't say much about homosexuality because it wasn't a common practice in the times when the New Testament was written. But when it does address homosexuality, the Bible makes it clear that gay marriage is an act of rebellion against God's desire that people have a family with a member of the opposite sex. If people choose to have homosexual relationships, they are sinning against God, and they aren't able to have the family he has in store for them.

How that Changes the Christian View The Bible clarifies that homosexuality is a sin and isn't something Christians condone. But the fact that homosexuality is a sin doesn't mean that the Bible condemns gay relationships. There are some things that the Bible says that apply to homosexual relationships. While it is true that Christians believe that gay relationships aren't ideal, the Bible also makes it clear that people should love and care for each other, and they should be faithful to one another. These are characteristics that most relationships have, regardless of their sexual orientation. Indeed, the Bible makes it clear that all people are worthy of love and that all people are capable of loving others. It also makes it clear that all people are capable of having healthy relationships with members of the opposite sex.

What is Christian Love? As we've already talked about, the Bible clarifies that all people are capable of love. It also makes it clear that love is a choice that we make. But the question is, how can we know what love is? To understand love, we must first figure out what love isn't. It isn't a feeling, and it isn't automatic. It isn't something that happens to us. Instead, love is something that we choose to show to other people, and we can only show it when we decide to do so. The Bible tells us that love is patient, kind, and selfless. It is something that we do for others, not something that we expect to get in return.

Conclusion The Bible makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin and that gay marriage is against the wishes of God. But it also makes it clear that all people are capable of love. Some may believe or misinterpret this to include regardless of their sexual orientation. However, this does not mean it is okay to go against the will of God. We have seen that the Bible makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin and that gay marriage is against the wishes of God. But it also makes it clear that everyone is capable of love, regardless.

Most researchers have concluded that sexual orientation is a complex, multifactorial issue in which biological, social, and psychological factors combine to play a role in the ultimate sexual orientation of an individual. According to Julie Harren, Ph.D., the formula for this interplay between factors might be represented by these equations:

--Genes + Brain Wiring + Prenatal Hormonal Environment = Temperament.

--Parents + Peers + Experiences = Environment.

--Temperament + Environment = Homosexual Orientation.

What's missing from these equations is the existence of a soul, the individual's choice, and the devil's temptation (see James 1:14).

Prejudice is not a constraint. Although it may be more accessible psychologically for a homosexual to believe that homosexuality is inborn, the accumulated scientific evidence suggests otherwise. Homosexuals may have a genetic predisposition, but the human choice is still a factor. Ultimately, sexual orientation is determined outside of the womb. This truth offers hope for change for those unhappy living a homosexual lifestyle. Clinical experience has shown that, with help, some homosexuals can change learned responses and defense mechanisms to early painful experiences.

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, the sin of homosexuality is listed next to theft. Just as there is no genetic excuse for stealing, there is no genetic excuse for homosexuality. Environment, culture, and choice make one a thief, and the same factors make one a homosexual.

Christ died for homosexuals. God loves persons of all sexual orientations, just as He loves all sinners. The Bible says, "God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Jesus Christ "is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 John 2:2). The gospel of Christ "is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16). In Christ alone we find the definitive source for healing, restoration, forgiveness, and comfort. He is the way we can all experience the affirming, unconditional love, value, and acceptance of our Father in heaven.

If this is true and homosexual behavior is dishonoring, a separation from God’s blessing, and self-harm, then the loving thing to do is to stay away from it. To encourage others to indulge in sin is to encourage them to reject God’s blessings on their lives. It is the opposite of love.

That being said, those with homosexual attractions desperately need love. Even if they agree with the Bible that homosexuality is a sin and resolve not to seek fulfillment of their sexual desires, they must still find love in other relationships—the self-sacrificing love of agape and the friendly companionship of phileo. When our emotional and social needs for love are met, we are less likely to seek fulfillment in unbiblical ways. It’s no different for single heterosexuals than for those with homosexual attraction.

DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH?

Welcome to wake up castle rock and America

I’m your host, Willie Ayers member of Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Franktown, Colorado.

I got asked this question the other day. Nowhere does scripture mandate one's attendance at church as a condition of salvation. Paul writes, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Does a Christian have to attend every service his church provides? The simple answer is "no." There is no New Testament command for believers to maintain perfect attendance at church. Attending every church service does not make a person "holier" than the one who misses a service here and there.

Our relationship with God is not based on rule-following or punching a time clock at church; it's based on our position in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:2).

The question that matters in eternity is not "How many times was I in church" but "Did I truly know Jesus Christ?" (Matthew 7:21–23).

However, there is a problem with having a nonchalant attitude toward church attendance. We should not be ambivalent in the matter. God's plan in this age involves the church, which Jesus promised to build (Matthew 16:18), and we should be supporting God's plan enthusiastically.

However, why is church attendance going to church important?"

Simply put, the Bible tells us we need to attend church to worship God with other believers and be taught His Word for our spiritual growth. They had no designated church building back then, but "every day they continued to meet in the temple courts.

The early church "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer" (Acts 2:42). We should follow that example of devotion—and to the same things.

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46). Wherever the meeting takes place, believers thrive on fellowship with other believers and the teaching of God's Word.

"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24–25).

Interestingly, even in the early church, some made a "habit" of not fellowshipping with other believers.

Their example is not to be followed. The church is where our spiritual gifts best edify the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–12). It is difficult to "spur" each other to love and good works if we are not attending church. How can we encourage one another if we're never around one another?

Church attendance is not just a "good suggestion" but God's will for believers. Hebrews 10:25 says we should "not be giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Even in the early church, some were falling into the bad habit of not meeting with other believers. The author of Hebrews says that's not the way to go.

We need the encouragement that church attendance affords. And the end times approach should prompt us to be even more devoted to the church.

The church is where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12) and encourage one another.

(Hebrews 3:13), "spur" one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32).

When a person trusts Jesus Christ for salvation, they are made a member of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). For a church body to function correctly, all its "body parts" need to be present and working (1 Corinthians 12:14–20). It's not enough to attend a church; we should be involved in some ministry to others, using the spiritual gifts God has given us (Ephesians 4:11–13).

A believer will never reach full spiritual maturity without having that outlet for their gifts, and we all need the assistance and encouragement of other believers (1 Corinthians 12:21–26).

For these reasons and more, church attendance, participation, and fellowship should be regular aspects of a believer's life.

Weekly church attendance is in no sense "required" for believers, but someone who belongs to Christ should have a desire to worship God, receive His Word, and fellowship with other believers.

You and I, as Christians, should be committed to our local church, involved in our local church, and supportive of our local church.

Be it zoom or online, God is not limited in what He does (Luke 1:37). He can use live, in-person preaching and live streaming on the internet.

Many of Billy Graham's crusades were filmed live and are still being broadcast on television and streamed online.

This requires regular church attendance. And they are still having an impact. "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear" (Isaiah 59:1). It is the gospel that saves (Romans 1:16); as long as the gospel is preached, the fact that it's online doesn't matter.

An online church service cannot replace "the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25, NKJV). Still, it is a good way of doing church, especially when faced with circumstances beyond our control that prevent us from being together.

A believer will naturally love his brothers and sisters in Christ (1 John 4:21), and that love will manifest itself in a desire to fellowship, not avoidance.

When the church is praising the Lord, all believers should want to join in the praise; when the church is praying for others, all believers should want to participate in the prayer; when the church is studying the Word, all believers should want to join in the learning.

We live in a world of distractions. So many things call us away from our commitments, our involvement, and our support of the local church:

I know I have been guilty of these sports activities, work schedules, community projects, or just being lazy, etc.—the list is never-ending.

There are valid reasons for missing a church service, and we must avoid legalism in such matters. At the same time, we should ensure absences are the exception, not the rule.

Each believer should examine their own heart to determine their motives for missing church, and therefore, I'm during this podcast.

It could be that a rearrangement of priorities is in the order I know that I need to do so.

Jesus is the Cornerstone of the Church (1 Peter 2:6).

We are "like living stones . . . being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 2:5).

As the building materials of God's "spiritual house," we naturally connect. That connection is evident every time the Church "goes to church."

If you are in Franktown or surrounding areas, come worship with us.

Be blessed and be safe. Thank you for listening to this podcast.

Hello and welcome to wake-up-castle-rock-and-America.

I am your host Willie T Ayers.

Did you know that do not fear is in the Bible Three Hundred Sixty-Five times?

Yes, there is so much happening today in our society inflation -abortion – daylight murders- corrupt politicians-homosexuality-IRS destroying tax returns- domestic terrorists and so much more.

Did you know that our brains express only two primary emotions: fear and love? And we decide to choose one or the other. Christ says, "Perfect love casts out all fear." Which will you choose?

1 John 4:18, Isaiah 41:10, Romans 8:38

Today, I would like to share the following scripture from Isaiah 41:10; “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.”

I repeat it again, Did you know that the bible tells us not to fear 365 times? That is once for every day of the year! God makes it clear in scriptures like Isaiah 41:10 that he wants us to choose faith over fear daily. He wants us to trust that He will provide for our every need.

You might ask, how do I have faith? I believe that religion is when we choose to stand on the promises of God even when we begin to feel insecurity or doubt. Confidence is like a muscle; every time you believe God's word, it is an opportunity to exercise that muscle.

Sometimes God allows situations to arise in the lives that force us to trust him. If you and I are faced with a difficult decision or circumstance today, I want to encourage you because you are in the right place! There is no place better than to be in the House of God with fellow believers, be it Zoom, TV, blog, podcast, etc.; your body our body is the temple.

When the Apostle Paul wrote the words "Your body is a temple" to the church in Corinth, he was saying this: You no longer must go to a building, an ornate, gilded temple built with your blood, toil, and sacrifice, to meet with our God. Know how you are in the temple. You are the place in which you can dwell with our God.

God is promising us in his word that He will reward our faith. As you view this blog/podcast, I want to challenge you to think about the areas of your life where God asks you to take a step of faith and trust him.

Fears are normal. They’re a natural response to our environment and the situations we encounter. So, what can we do when fear seems overwhelming? The Bible has many examples of people who experienced fear or anxiety.

They trusted God during their struggles and remained obedient despite their fears. If you’re experiencing fear or anxiety, these scriptures will help you trust God in those moments and lean on Him for strength.

What does Bible say about standing firm?

Ephesians 6:11-16 provides us with advice on standing firm in the Lord. Standing firm in the Lord is done by putting on the whole armor of God. These verses include filling your life with truthfulness, righteousness, peace, and faith. To put on the full armor of God, you must consist of him in all you do

Know that God is with you no matter what.

In the book of Psalms, King David writes, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in him.” (Psalm 34:8). In that moment of David’s life, he was experiencing betrayal and loss. He had placed his trust in others and his abilities but had been let down.

He found himself experiencing fear and anxiety. But David also found God. And through his faith in God, David discovered a peace he couldn’t have found alone. God has never left you. He’s never changed His mind about you. He is good, and He is always with you. He knows every struggle you’re facing, and He is there with you during it all. Trust God. Lean on Him. Let Him know you need Him now.

What is the biblical definition of stand?

To stand means you remain firm and immovable, even when (or especially when) you are the smallest, youngest, or last standing. You may be the means for holding up others.

Be on the lookout for deception.

In the book of Corinthians, the Apostle Paul writes, “For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (2 Corinthians 12:8). Paul says that the Holy Spirit intercedes with us or prays on our behalf.

He also describes the prayers of the Holy Spirit as groanings or noises too deep for words. Paul is warning us that sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, we might be tempted to give in to panic or despair. These emotions can come from the Enemy and lead us to make bad decisions. Trusting them can lead us down a path of deception and put us in danger.

The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, guides us towards God and helps us find strength in Him to make the right choices. Find ways to quiet your mind and listen to the Holy Spirit at this moment. Take deep breaths. Meditate. Read your Bible and pray.

Turn to God for comfort and strength.

The book of Psalms again provides insight into how people can best handle anxiety. In Psalm 94, the psalmist prays, “Gather my sons together to me, and my daughters too; Let the children of my house understand the end of the Lord and His provision for them.” The psalmist is facing a great battle or perhaps a terrible plague that has left many of his children dead. He is anxious and afraid but turns to God for strength and comfort. He prays for his children and the rest of God’s people to know that God is good and has a plan for those who trust Him. No matter what your struggles are, turn to God. Let Him know you need Him now.

Plan to fight your fears.

The Bible tells us not to be afraid in the book of Psalms. It also tells us to trust in the Lord. These are great advice, but they’re not enough on their own. We also must take action to fight our fears and face our anxieties head-on. The Bible also provides us with strategies and examples of people who lived through difficult circumstances.

The Bible tells the story of Daniel, thrown into a den of lions for refusing to worship the king’s gods. Many people would have been overcome with fear, but Daniel trusted God. He had a plan: He kept his faith in God and remained obedient to God’s word. He knew he would be okay. You have a plan, too.

Trust God even when you don’t understand.

In the book of Job, a Job is a man who has lost everything—his family, his health, and all of his wealth. Job is grieving and angry that he’s been betrayed and forced to suffer in such a terrible way. Job has every right to feel the way he does, but he has also lost sight of God. Job doesn’t understand why he’s been betrayed and forced to suffer. He doesn’t understand why God has let this happen to him. In his despair, he prays, “My cry for help is worthless and unneeded” (Job 10:1). Job struggles but refuses to turn to God. He refuses to trust God even though he doesn’t understand what God is doing. Let Job’s story be a lesson to you.

To be steadfast and unmovable is to be spiritually grounded. A responsible person knows what he believes and cannot be “tossed back and forth by the waves and blown here and there by every wind of teaching” (Ephesians 4:14).

An unmovable person can hear false teaching, engage doubters, and defend the truth without shaking his faith. In his other epistle to Corinth, Paul expresses his concern for this church: “I am afraid that just as the serpent’s cunning deceived Eve, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). Even believers who the apostle had personally taught Paul were victims of deception. How much more vulnerable are we?

To remain steadfast and unmovable, we must know God’s Word. Second, Timothy 2:15 says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth” (NASB). To accurately handle the word of truth, we must not only read the Bible, but we must allow it to become part of us. Its truth should penetrate our minds and hearts and shape our thinking and actions. It should so fill our minds that we can detect error when we hear it. Satan uses Scripture for his purposes, twisting it to sound as though it says something it doesn’t say (Luke 4:9–11).

We are vulnerable to error if we have not been diligent in our study and meditation on truth. The world’s false religions can be persuasive when they quote Bible verses to support their error. Even Christians can be duped by smooth-sounding heresy if they do not have a solid grounding in the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). God desires that we grow daily in our understanding of Him and His Word so that we will remain faithful to the end (John 8:31; 2 Peter 1:2; 3:18; 1 John 2:24).

Bs blessed and be safe. Do not let fear control you; Jesus is the answer

Is Satan Using Covid to Destroy Your Relationship in your life? Did Satan use Covid to bring out the true and hidden evil in people?

Satan is a master at destroying relationships, marriages, and families. The Bible is filled with examples of how Satan attempted to destroy relationships through deception, temptation, and other destructive means. Even in the church, Satan seeks to divide and attack the unity of believers. I believe that Satan has used elected leaders to divide America. In Revelation 12:9, Satan is described as "the accuser of our brothers" and "the adversary." These are just two ways of saying he's a liar who wants to trick us into mistrusting each other so we can't trust one another or God. It sounds rather complex, but it comes down to something that is not only very simple but obvious as well; so many people are afraid of trusting others because they don't want anyone to know what they're doing or who they are on the inside. Many are so scared to have faith over fear. We need to trust in the word of God. We need God and Jesus now more than ever.

What is Covid? COVID-19, or coronavirus disease 2019, is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The effect of the illness can range from mild to severe. First identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, the virus quickly spread to other countries. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Why would God allow Covid-19?" The world seems to be asking this question, which gives the most significant part of the answer. More on that shortly.

Why Are People Afraid of Trusting Others? Trust is the foundation of a successful relationship. It's essential in friendships, marriages, and even our relationship with God. But many people are afraid to trust others.

All relationships have some level of risk. Whether at work, home, or church, you are putting yourself in a position of being open to hurt. You may be rejected, criticized, or even ignored. But if you let these fears control you, neither you nor your relationships can ever be as strong as they could be. They are so worried about being let down or hurt that they don't allow themselves to be vulnerable or open enough to develop authentic and lasting relationships. Satan's favorite way to keep people from trusting each other is to sow seeds of doubt. He knows that if he can get someone to question another person's motives, he'll cause a rift in their relationship. He'll keep them from ever being close enough to one another to be vulnerable.

On the topic of trusting others, King David said, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes" (Psalm 118:8–9). David spoke from experience, having been betrayed many times by those close to him (see Psalm 41:9). Instead of becoming bitter or regarding all people as inherently untrustworthy and not worth his time, he learned and taught a simple truth: sinful people will fail us, but we can always trust in God. David's son, King Solomon, knew that lesson well and added to it, saying that it's better to trust God than to trust our own minds (Proverbs 3:5–6).

Satan's Strategy to Destroy Relationships Satan's strategy to destroy relationships is to get people to mistrust one another. He knows that if he can get someone to question another person's motives, he has stopped that relationship from ever being close enough to be vulnerable. He's blocked it from growing stronger and becoming even more potent for good. Even though others will fail us sometimes, and we are not always trustworthy, we can and should still trust people to vary degrees. Without Trust, a genuine relationship is impossible. It is precisely because we know that God will never fail us and that we can trust others. Our ultimate security is in Him, so we are free to trust others and experience the joy it brings. Trusting others is almost inseparable from loving others. True intimacy can only be achieved through honesty and Trust. It requires Trust to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2) and "spur one another on toward love and good deeds" (Hebrews 10:24). It takes Trust to confess our sins to one another (James 5:16) and share our needs (James 5:14; Romans 12:15). Trust is necessary for any number of human relationships, and especially for the healthy functioning of the family of Christ.

What is Covid? here's more as promised Only a liar or a true prophet can claim to know God's reasons for bringing about COVID-19 or any other specific calamity. That's partly because God's purpose extends to every individual involved, from the beginning of time to the end of the world. Understanding every possible factor goes far beyond human ability, but God has within His complete knowledge and control of every facet of every situation (Romans 8:28–30). The Bible reveals some insights about God's use of deadly disasters. Still, we must apply relevant Scripture and the principles of faith to gain wisdom about any specific disaster.

As with any mystery, we must go from the known to the unknown in our search to solve it. So we'll put the question of why God would allow COVID-19 into the context of what we already know from the Bible and personal experience: we know that life is a gift from the Creator (Isaiah 42:5; Acts 17:25). We know that God alone has the right and power to give life and take it away according to His wisdom and plans (Job 2:10). We know that life is short and includes some degree of suffering, ending in death and judgment for how we lived our lives—only one life with no "do-overs" (Hebrews 9:27). Short or long, our lifespan and date of death are set and controlled by God (Matthew 10:29). Even the most extended human lives are "like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow" (Psalm 144:4).

Moses described God's sovereignty over life and death, and this could have been written about today's COVID-19 pandemic:

"You turn people back to dust,

saying, 'Return to dust, you mortals.'

A thousand years in your sight

are like a day that has just gone by

or like a watch in the night.

Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—

they are like the new grass of the morning:

In the morning, it springs up new,

but by evening, it is dry and withered."

(Psalm 90:3–6).

So what is God's purpose in allowing COVID-19? Without being too dogmatic, we know that generally speaking, one of God's purposes in trials is to get the world's attention off themselves and onto Him, their Creator and Savior—which is the most significant part of the answer to the question at hand. "Why would God allow COVID-19?" Millions are suddenly asking that question right now, believers and non-believers alike, which means God is on their minds. God desires for all people to earnestly seek Him and find Him, discovering that He is close to us (Jeremiah 29:13; Acts 17:26–28). God desires us to sense our weakness and neediness so that we put our Trust in Him (2 Corinthians 12:9). God desires people to fear Him with proper reverence and awe (Proverbs 9:10); to love Him more than their own lives (Matthew 10:37; John 12:25); and to show love and gratitude for the Savior by loving and helping fellow humans, especially the suffering (Romans 15:1; James 2:14–17). God desires to shift our focus and affection away from this temporary, troubled world to our eternal, heavenly home (Colossians 3:1–2; Hebrews 12:1–2).

Times of trouble are a prime motivation for us to store up treasures in heaven rather than cling to treasures on earth (Matthew 6:19–20; Colossians 3:1–3) and to be good stewards of those blessings God gives us in this life (Luke 16:11; Matthew 25:14–30). God wants us to trust Him, knowing that our times are in His hand (Psalm 31:15).

Ultimately, the poor and hurting seek God, not the rich and comfortable. It is danger and calamity that turn men to their Savior, not health and wealth (see Mark 2:17). It is suffering that wakes us to our actual needs. C. S. Lewis put it this way: "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world" (The Problem of Pain, HarperCollins, 1996, p. 91).

Life for all people means facing suffering, death, and eternal destiny. Even if we develop immunity to COVID-19, we can't escape the fact of trouble in the world. What's best for us in any situation is to seek God: "Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart" (Psalm 119:2).

A final decision, the bottom line, RightNow, your choice. Trust in God and Being honest with yourself and others is the best way to avoid the lies Satan uses to destroy relationships with God and others. If you are a believer or in a relationship, don't let fear or the media lies control you. Trust in God first than yourself and others, and know that prayer and honesty is the only way to grow your relationships.

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10 no harm will overtake you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him my salvation.”

Is America Full of Hate? The Conversation We're Not Having

Seattle Street Preacher Assaulted at Pride Event, Abortion Rally; Arrested After Bible Thrown in Portable Toilet

Biblically speaking, there are positive and negative aspects to hatred. It is acceptable to hate those things that God hates; indeed, this is very much proof of right standing with God. “Let those who love the Lord hate evil” (Psalm 97:10a). Indeed, the closer our walk with the Lord and the more we fellowship with Him, the more conscious we will be of sin, both within and without. Do we not grieve and burn with anger when God’s name is maligned, when we see spiritual hypocrisy when we see blatant unbelief and godless behavior? The more we understand God’s attributes and love His character, the more we will be like Him, and the more we will hate those things that are contrary to His Word and nature.

Is America full of hate? That’s the question many are asking after a recent spate of high-profile and disturbing incidents. In just one week in late September, a man armed with an automatic rifle murdered 22 people at a restaurant in suburban Denver; a man sent explosive devices to prominent critics of President Trump, including several Jewish leaders and former Vice President Joe Biden; and, in response to these events, the president tweeted a video of him beating up another person with the face of CNN labeled as “Fraud News Network.” If you think we’re living in a particularly hateful moment — one highlighted by divisive rhetoric from our leaders — you’re not alone. But the answer isn’t as simple as that. There is ample evidence to support this claim, but this phenomenon is not new. This type of hate has always existed in America but recurs cyclically throughout history. It’s an essential distinction because figuring out why these events continue to repeat themselves is the key to resolving them. So let’s explore what is driving this current resurgence of hate and what we can do about it.

A Brief History of Hate in America That America has a long history of hate is not news. It’s in our DNA. We were founded as a nation on the principle that certain people aren’t worthy of being part of our collective “we” — that they’re “others” who don’t deserve to be treated like “we” do. Given this, it makes sense that there have been several cyclical upsurges of hate in American history. The first significant one was in the early 19th century when a movement of “nativism” — or fear of cultural or racial change — was directed against newly arrived Irish and German immigrants. In the 1850s and 1860s, during the era of western expansion and the Civil War, there were two more violent upsurges: one against Native Americans and another against African-American slaves and freedmen. Each of these movements featured the signs of modern hate: false propaganda, dehumanization, and the use of violence. They culminated in a tragedy: the Native American population in the U.S. declined by about 90% in the 19th century, and black people were terrorized and subjected to the Jim Crow system of segregation and discrimination until the mid-20th century. During these eras, many people of conscience tried to speak out against the hate and warn of the tragic consequences it would bring. But they were ignored.

However, the hatred that is negative indeed has to be that which is directed against others. The Lord mentions hatred in the Sermon on the Mount: “But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment” (Matthew 5:22). The Lord commands that not only should we be reconciled with our brother before we go before the Lord, but also that we do it quickly (Matthew 5:23-26). The act of murder itself was certainly condemned, but hatred is a “heart” sin, and any hateful thought or act is an act of murder in God’s eyes for which justice will be demanded, possibly not in this life but at the judgment. So heinous is the position of hate before God that a man who hates is said to be walking in darkness, as opposed to the light (1 John 2:9, 11). The worst situation is that of a man who continues professing religion but remains at enmity with his brother. The Scriptures declare that such a person is a liar (1 John 4:20), and he may fool men, but not God. How many believers live for years pretending that all is well, putting on a front, only to be found finally wanting because they have harbored enmity (hatred) against a fellow believer?

The Myth of American Exceptionalism American exceptionalism is the belief that the U.S. is qualitatively different from other nations. It is a core premise of President Trump’s political philosophy (and his brand of right-wing nationalism). It also infects many other political ideologies and its proponents often use it to justify the idea that the U.S. is immune to the kind of “bad things” that happen in other countries. But this myth of American exceptionalism is a distraction from the real issues facing our country. It is a myth because, in fact, hate and other social ills have been present in America as long as there has been an America — since the beginning. So this is nothing new. What is true is that America has been a leader in many positive social and political movements, including the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, and civil rights for black people and other minorities. These are all things worth celebrating. But they don’t negate the fact that hate is deeply rooted in our history and culture, and it is cyclical in nature.

Code Words and Hidden Meaning Many of the talking points that fuel hate are framed in terms of “freedom,” “security,” and “American values.” This is why it’s important not to take these terms at face value but to think critically about what they actually mean and to whom they apply. For example, many of the leaders who promote the idea of building a border wall use the argument that it will protect the nation from “illegal” immigrants who are coming here to do us harm. This is an example of “dog whistle” politics — a coded language used to appeal to the prejudices of a particular group of people. “Illegal” immigrants are a made-up group that doesn’t actually exist. All immigrants who come here without proper documentation are violating the law — that’s why they’re called “illegal.” Yet we conveniently forget this and speak in terms of “them” being “evil” and “us” being “good.”

An Outgrowth of Institutionalized Racism The hate that is currently being stirred up in the U.S. is, in part, a continuation of the racism that has always been present here — but it’s also a reaction to the tremendous demographic and cultural change that has taken place in the past several decades. We’ve become more diverse and less white, and we’ve become more globally interconnected. This has created more economic and cultural competition, and it’s brought more people of different backgrounds and cultures into our country. All of this seems to be triggering a backlash among certain people who feel that their “way of life” is being threatened. They fear that they no longer “own” their country and that they don’t have the same opportunities as other people.

A Culture of Violence and War as Entertainment We’ve also become a more violent society in recent decades. We are attracted to images of violence and war, and we’ve created a culture in which these things are seen as entertainment. We’ve also become more isolated and self-focused. We’re less likely than ever to know our neighbors, and we’re less likely to engage in civic activities like voting or volunteering for charities or community organizations. This has created a climate in which people become more susceptible to the fear-based messaging of the hate-mongers, because they have less opportunity to engage with others and get the facts that would contradict these messages.

Where Do We Go From Here? The good news is that hate is not a new emotion, nor is it an emotion that is unique to America. There is ample evidence that all societies have the capacity to hate and inflict harm, and we see these tendencies in both our history and our present. The difference between now and other historical moments is that our society has never been as connected as it is now, and we have more tools at our disposal for propagating hate and triggering violent responses. So how do we respond to this challenge? First, we need to recognize that hate is a cyclical phenomenon. We must learn from the past, study the patterns of history, and recognize the signs of its cyclical nature. This will help us to not get caught up in the hysteria of the moment and keep us from making knee-jerk reactions that might make the situation worse. Second, we must continue to speak out against hate in all its forms and call out those who promote it. This is essential and will be increasingly important as we move into the 2020 election cycle. Third, we must use all the tools at our disposal to promote understanding, encourage dialogue, and break down barriers between people of different cultures, races, and backgrounds. This is the only way to overcome the fear and ignorance that breed hate.

Conclusion This podcast is meant to help us better understand the current state of hate in American society.

Hatred is a poison that destroys us from within, producing bitterness that eats away at our hearts and minds. This is why the Scriptures tell us not to let a “root of bitterness” spring up in our hearts (Hebrews 12:15). Hatred also destroys the personal witness of a Christian because it removes him from fellowship with the Lord and other believers. Let us be careful to do as the Lord advised and keep short accounts with everyone about everything, no matter how small, and the Lord will be faithful to forgive, as He has promised

(1 John 1:9; 2:1).

We must remember that hate has been present in America since the beginning, and it often recurs cyclically throughout our history. We must remain vigilant and aware of the signs of its cyclical nature so that we can better recognize and respond to it. Only then will we be able to address the root causes of hate and move towards a more peaceful and just society.

What It Means to be a Christian in a Nation with an Evil Government

We live in a world where suffering seems familiar to many of us. We can learn and apply many truths and healing principles to our lives by studying the book of Job in the Bible.

The overturning of Roe vs. Wade did not create division in America; it started when leaders started supporting individual groups, such as BLM, ANTIFA, DEFUND THE POLICE, and OPENING THE BORDERS. However, they want to attack freedom of speech, the 2nd amendment, religious beliefs, parental rights, and more.

With the rise of nationalism, right-wing movements, and the encouraging of far-right ideologies in the current political climate, many Christians are asking what it means to be a Christian in a nation with an evil government.

Today, we see many examples of leaders who do not align with Christian values. There is also an increase in persecution of Christians and laws that restrict our ability to practice our faith. This has led many Christians to wonder how they should respond to a government that is unkind to their beliefs. Should we separate from society and isolate ourselves?

Or are there better ways for us to answer? In this podcast, we will look at what it means to be a Christian in a nation with an evil government and explore several helpful principles that can guide us in living boldly as followers of Christ during these times.

What does the Bible say about being a Christian in an evil society?

The Bible has much to say on this topic. We see several examples of Christians being persecuted for their faith by leaders who did not align with Christian values.

One example is when the apostle Paul was charged with being a troublemaker and was imprisoned. Another example is when the apostle Peter was imprisoned for preaching about Jesus.

There is also the example of how Christians were pressured to participate in worshiping the Roman emperor as a god. Despite these societal pressures and the risk of persecution, the Bible teaches us that followers of Christ are to follow God's word, not the government's.

The Bible also teaches us that as followers of Christ, we must remain in society, not isolate ourselves. Jesus himself said that Christians should be part of society. He said, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).

The importance of resisting evil

One of the essential principles to keep in mind as Christians in a nation with an evil government is that we should actively resist evil.

There are many examples in the Bible of how Christians actively resisted evil in their societies. One example is when Peter and the apostle John were ordered not to preach and were threatened with arrest, they replied by saying,

"Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge. For we cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:19-20).

Another example is when the apostle Paul boldly resisted the evil practices of false teachers in his society. He said, "When I came to you, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom. For I have known you for a long time, and your souls are in an idle state.

But now I am going to come to you for the third time, and I will not be a shame to you as I have been, but with a little shame, as the representative of the shame of the Christ" (2 Corinthians 2:1-2).

Finding ways to resist evil actively.

As a Christian, you don't have to wait for society to oppress you before resisting evil.

You have a responsibility to fight corruption whenever you see it actively. When you witness an injustice, speak up against it. When you encounter a form of evil, resist it with the truth. When you see violence, stand against it with love.

When you observe hatred, respond to it with kindness. When you detect greed, meet it with generosity. You don't have to wait until you are imprisoned or until your rights are taken away to resist evil. You can do it now, and you can do it with words and actions that show the love of Christ.

Finding ways to respond to evil with good

Another principle to keep in mind as a Christian in a nation with an evil government is that you should actively respond to evil with good.

While we should always respond to evil with truth, there are times when we need to respond to evil with interest.

For example, if you witness a violent act and try to speak up against it only to be met with hate and hostility, then a better response for you might be to respond with love.

Or, if you meet a person who is consumed with greed, a better answer might be to respond with generosity. You can bring light into a dark world by responding to evil with good.

How can we find strength during times of trial?

Another essential principle to remember as a Christian in a nation with an evil government is that we should not expect to be free from trials.

Followers of Christ are promised that they will experience difficulties and testing during their lives. The apostle Paul himself said, "In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

When you are going through a trial, instead of focusing on what is happening to you and your rights being taken away, focus on how you can use this trial to bring glory to God.

How can you use what you are going through for others? How can you turn your situation into a blessing for others? You can keep your eyes on the goal, knowing that God will use your trials to draw you closer to him, strengthen your faith, and make you more like Christ.

Run From Sin Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22

Conclusion

When we focus on the principles discussed above, we can find strength during times of trial and persecution. We can also find comfort as we navigate the current political landscape of our society, knowing that we have the eternal word of God to guide us.

As we navigate these challenging political times, we can find strength and comfort knowing that God is sovereign and is in control. We can also find comfort knowing that God is a God of justice, and we can trust him to bring justice to all people.

In the meantime, we can continue to resist evil actively, respond to evil with good, and find strength during times of trial. With these principles in mind, we can be confident that we can be followers of Christ during the current political climate, no matter what society throws our way.

You hear many say that they found Jesus. No, Jesus found them. Jesus was never lost. We are the ones that are lost.

The Proof: How Jesus Christ Founded Me

I had fallen away from God. When I got Out of the military, I lived in and out of hotels. I was a drinker daily: stone-cold alcoholic and a drunk. I went out looking for fights, furious and bitter. I did not have a job and went to eat in and out hamburger stand. I got into a conversation with an elderly gentleman (Jack Eager). He asked me if I needed a job. He hired me the next day. This was November 1993. God blessed me to meet a wonderful church-going woman, and she got me back into the church. I ( rededicated my life to Christ and got re-baptized.

The Proof is a modern-day gospel that reveals Jesus as the most influential person who ever lived. It’s not just a book, it’s a movement that inspires, challenges, and changes lives. As you listen to this podcast you are on the edge of something unique. You’re standing at the threshold of your new life in Christ – an adventure that will change everything about you. The Proof is about more than just believing in Jesus as your Savior; it’s about having a personal relationship with Him by responding to His love with faith and obedience. So what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and explore how Jesus Christ founded you

The Proof is not about Christianity; it’s about Jesus.

The Proof is about Jesus and what He has done for you. Christianity is a religion that people try to follow in order to make a relationship with Jesus. The Proof flips this concept and creates a relationship with Jesus, your starting point. We don’t try to pursue Jesus; we follow him and walk with him. This is why it’s so important to know you know Jesus. If you believe in a Jesus you’ve never met, He can’t be your Savior.

You can never know too much about Jesus.

This may sound extreme, but it’s true. The more you know about Jesus, the more you will love Him, and the more you will want to follow Him. More excellent knowledge of Jesus will also protect you from false teachers and doctrines that are out there. Let your desire to know everything about Jesus be your driving force. Be hungry for more information about His life and His teachings. Read the Bible and books about Jesus, and go online to learn more. The more you know about Jesus, the more you will love Him and trust Him with your life.

Be sure of your decision to follow Jesus.

Don’t make Christianity about what you’re going to get out of it. If you’re going to have a relationship with Jesus, it has to be a decision you’re sure about. Look at your life and ask if you’ve done anything for Jesus lately. If the answer is no, you need to do something right away before you start to lose your passion for Him. If you decide to follow Jesus, you’re making the most critical decision of your life. Make sure you’re ready to take full responsibility for your decision. Once you’re His follower, there’s no turning back. Your life will never be the same.

Everything you do must be because of Him.

Jesus said that whatever we do to others, we do to Him. Once you’ve decided to follow Jesus, everything you do must be for Him. Whatever mission you’re on, be it at your job or in your community, let the goal point people toward Jesus. Let your prayers and your actions be to glorify Him. Remember that even your hard times are for Him. They are lessons He wants to teach you.

You can only fully know and love God through Jesus Christ.

You cannot fully know and love God if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ. God is a Spirit, and Jesus was God in the flesh. Through Jesus, you get to experience a personal relationship with God. You can know God’s voice, character, plans, and love through Jesus. You can see the fullness of God’s love by accepting His sacrifice on the cross. You can know God’s forgiveness and heal through Jesus. It’s only through Jesus that you can know God and love Him.

Gun Violence in America: What Can We Do to Stop the Madness This memorial day lets us all remember not just our military but also the victims of the senseless shooting.‍

In the wake of another school shooting, America Robb Elementary School shooting is once again grappling with gun violence and how to prevent these tragedies from continuing to happen. In response to the Parkland shooting in February 2018, many students have taken a stand and spoken out about the need for stricter gun laws and other measures to reduce gun violence. The NRA has come under fire, with many questioning why they continue to have so much influence over politicians and whether their money has anything to do with it. There are no easy answers to this question. This podcast examines gun violence in America today, what may be fueling it, what we know about its effects on society, and possible solutions that may help reduce it in the future.

What is the current state of gun violence in America? According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR), there were about 15,000 homicides committed with a firearm in the U.S. in 2017, the last full year for which data are available. This is a rate of 6.3 homicides per 100,000 people, or about 3% of all homicides in the U.S. The UCR data also show that firearm homicide rates have generally declined since the 1990s. While rates have decreased, they've also shown a dramatic increase in the past two years. In 2016, when the UCR data were compiled, there were 14,415 firearm homicides in the U.S. The following year, the number increased by nearly 10% to 15,386. This represents the highest number of firearm homicides in the U.S. since 2014.

Why has there been an increase in gun violence? Most academics who study gun violence agree that there has been a general downward trend in homicide rates since the 1990s. But there have been significant increases in firearm-related homicides in recent years. So, why have rates of gun violence increased? A couple of essential factors may be driving the rise in gun violence: ACSW. These factors may help explain the increase in gun violence from 2016 to 2017. While the causes of the rise in gun violence are speculative at best, we can take action to reverse the trend and reduce gun violence in the future.

Who is most at risk for gun violence? Homicide is a pretty rare event in the U.S.; according to the CDC, it occurs at 3.7 per 100,000 people. But gun violence is much more common among specific segments of the population. The FBI's UCR data show that black Americans are disproportionately likely to be victims of gun violence. Black Americans make up only 13% of the U.S. population, but they account for over half of firearm homicides. The homicide rate among black Americans is 11.7 per 100,000 people. The FBI data also show that the 15-34 age group has the highest rate of firearm homicide. But homicides committed with a firearm are also common among young children and the elderly, who are least likely to commit a homicide with a gun.

How can we reduce gun violence? The first step to reducing gun violence is better understanding its causes and effects. While there's no denying that there's a problem, we need to determine what's driving the increase in gun violence, who is most at risk, and what can be done. This may sound challenging, but it's pretty simple. We need to follow the data. With the information provided above, we can identify who is most at risk and what may be causing gun violence to increase. Armed with this information, we can develop policies and solutions to help reduce gun violence in the future. The most obvious answer is to enact stricter gun laws. While gun violence has been declining since the 1990s, it's still far too familiar and has shown a dramatic increase in the past two years. We know that the majority of firearm homicides are committed with handguns. So, we can pass laws that make it more challenging to buy and own guns by requiring background checks and waiting periods while also making it more difficult to transport and store handguns. We can also make it more difficult for people with a history of violence or mental illness to obtain guns.

We need to pray for our leaders even when it is hard to do so.

How’s your FAITH?

Our leaders have many pressing issues to address, and it can be easy for them to forget topics that they feel further removed from or don't hear from their constituents about. But our leaders can help end global poverty and hunger through policy change.

Pray that they would hear from constituents on issues impacting the most vulnerable and that they would be moved to action. Also, Father God, Our leaders are juggling their interests, the interest of many constituents, and sometimes the interest of organizations.

It can be hard to find solutions that meet everyone's wants and needs. I pray that our government leaders represent all of their constituents well and courageously uphold biblical values. I ask this in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Amen

What does the Bible say about praying for our leaders:

Prayer for our leaders is not unique to democratic nations, and it did not begin with the United States National Day of Prayer. The Bible contains many commands to pray for our leaders—national and local, secular and religious.

Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." God told the Israelites in exile to pray for Babylon: "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper" (Jeremiah 29:7). Romans 13:1 says, "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. God has established the authorities that exist." Paul requested prayer "for all the Lord's people" and for himself that he would speak the gospel boldly (Ephesians 2:18–20).

Prayer is important. And it seems the Bible makes special mention of praying for those in positions of authority. Such authorities include government officials (international, national, and local) and pastors, church elders, school boards, school principals, employers, etc.

We do not pray for our leaders simply because we are commanded to. Praying for them makes practical sense. Our leaders can affect the conditions we live in and impact our families, our churches, our workplaces, our cities, and our countries. When those in authority obey God's will, it is easier to "live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:2). When evil men are in authority, our prayers for them are just as needed, as illustrated by William Tyndale's last words as he was being burned at stake: "Lord, open the King of England's eyes."

Also, we do not pray for our leaders merely for our benefit. Leadership can be a tiring task. James 3:1 says, "Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly." Leaders carry a degree of responsibility to their followers. They are often the targets of criticism and the go-to people in a crisis. If they are leading well, they are living their lives in service. We pray for them because we recognize the greatness of their task and because we are grateful for their willingness to lead.

So how should we pray for our leaders? First, if we are uncertain that they know Jesus, we should pray for their salvation. But whether or not our leaders are Christians, we should pray that God will guide them as they guide us. We should pray that they

are wise, discerning, and surrounded by helpful advisers. We know that God has placed our leaders in authority over us (Romans 13:1), and we can ask Him to use them as He will. We should also pray for their protection. When praying for pastors or ministry leaders, we can pray for them to have strength during spiritual warfare and to remain encouraged in the Lord. We can pray for their families, who often feel scrutinized and bear an extra load.

Briefly stated, we should mention our leaders before God in prayer and ask Him to have His way in their hearts, support those around them, and use their leadership to benefit their followers.

Biden Blunders

58th’ birthday

In an interaction with reporters after undergoing his first routine physical in office, the oldest president in American history said that he is going to celebrate his ‘58th’ birthday while it was his ‘79th' on November 20 in 2021.

'President Harris'

While delivering a speech at South Carolina State University during its 2021 Fall commencement ceremony, Biden referred to US Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Harris”. The US President said, “… all kidding aside, of course, President Harris, who’s a proud Howard alumn, she might have something to say about Delaware State.”

Confusing history

During a menorah lighting celebration at the White House for Hanukkah, the president appeared to forget Arab–Israeli history as he got confused between 1967 Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War of 1973.

ABORTION IS MURDER The Bible never specifically addresses the issue of abortion. However, numerous teachings in Scripture make it abundantly clear what God's view of abortion is.

10 Lies the Pro-Abortion Community Tells To Convince You Abortion Is Okay!

‍

The pro-choice movement is complex, and abortion is a polarizing topic. But, whether you're for or against abortion, there are always things you didn't know about the subject. Today, we're breaking down the top lies the pro-abortion community tells to convince you abortion is okay. Read on to learn more about the myths, truths, and arguments surrounding abortion.

The Pro-Abortion Movement Is Bipartisan The pro-abortion movement is sometimes accused of being a small group of radical feminists. They often take a skeptical stance toward the more significant "pro-life" movement, which is often seen as a group of conservative, religious conservatives. However, the movement to decriminalize and then legalize abortion has a long history of bipartisan support. While the pro-life movement is often seen as a single-issue movement, abortion laws and policies are usually decided by lawmakers who are often not very vocal about their own beliefs.

You Can Tell Your Senator About Your Abortion Before You're Pregnant This is one of the most popular pro-abortion lies. You should know that the average first-trimester abortion takes about nine weeks from the first day of a woman's last menstrual period. So, if you're planning to get an abortion before you're about 37 weeks pregnant, you can't tell your senator about it. This is because abortion laws are supposed to protect women's right to make their own decisions. Still, doctors are legally prohibited from divulging the pregnancy to anyone before fetal viability. Within the first five months of pregnancy, the medical community agrees that unborn children can survive outside the womb, with organs and a heartbeat, and even begin to move. So, unless you have an excellent reason to get an abortion before you're about nine weeks pregnant, you can't tell anyone you're pregnant.

Abortion Will End Human Trafficking And Abuse Will abortion end human trafficking and abuse? Um, no. Many of the victims of sexual trafficking and abuse were victims of their own decisions to get an abortion or have unprotected sex. It's also important to remember that abortion is never safe or "free." Considering that an abortion commonly costs between $300-$500, you're probably better off financially and emotionally not getting an abortion, especially if you were exploited as a victim of sexual abuse and trafficking. However, if you were raped and didn't want to parent a child, getting an abortion isn't worse.

Having An Abortion Will Make You Unhappy Women report feeling a wide range of emotions after having an abortion. Some report feeling relief, while others say sadness or even anger. Depending on the person and the circumstances, it's also possible to feel regret or sadness, but these are very personal feelings. Most people feel sad or regretful when they have a loved one's death, but this doesn't mean they will be unhappy. Having an abortion should not negatively impact your life.

Abortion Is Safer Than Having A Baby This is another one of the pro-abortion myths we're going to debunk. Despite what the medical community says, there's no scientific proof that having an abortion is safer than carrying a baby to term. Since the method and circumstances of each abortion vary, it's hard to generalize the safety of having an abortion. This means that you're taking a risk no matter how you choose to end a pregnancy.

You Shouldn't Feel Guilty About Having An Abortion Guilt is often a very personal feeling. That's why you shouldn't feel guilty about having an abortion. If you were raped or became pregnant due to sexual abuse or exploitation, you shouldn't feel bad about having an abortion. Not only do you have the right to have an abortion if the circumstances are right, but you shouldn't feel guilty about it, either.

There's Only One Right Decision For Every Woman This is another one of the pro-abortion myths that we're debunking. It's important to remember that every woman has no right decision. Some people might prefer to save their money or have another child later in life. Some might decide not to have children at all. These are all excellent choices, and no one should make them feel guilty for making their own decisions.

Conclusion The pro-choice movement is complex, and abortion is a polarizing topic. But, whether you're for or against abortion, there are always things you didn't know about the subject. Today, we're breaking down the top lies the pro-abortion community tells to convince you abortion is okay. Read on to learn more about the myths, truths, and arguments surrounding abortion.

Additional information

Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He forms us in the womb. Psalm 139:13–16 speaks of God's active role in our creation and formation in the womb. Exodus 21:22–25 prescribes the same penalty—death—for someone who causes the death of a baby in the womb as for someone who commits murder. This law and its punishment clearly indicate that God considers a baby in the womb to be just as much a human being as a full-grown adult. For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a woman's right to choose to have a baby. The baby is already present and living. Abortion is a matter of life or death of a human being made in God's image (Genesis 1:26–27; 9:6).

What does the Bible say about abortion? Simply put, abortion is murder. It is the killing of a human being created in the image of God.

A common argument against the Christian stance on abortion is "What about cases of rape and/or incest?" As horrible as it would be to become pregnant due to rape or incest, is the murder of a baby the solution? Two wrongs do not make a right. A child resulting from rape or incest could be given in adoption to a loving family. Many families, some unable to have children on their own, stand ready to receive and love a child from any background. The baby in this situation is entirely innocent and should not be punished for the evil act of their mother or father or any family member.

It's also important to keep in mind that abortions due to rape or incest account for a tiny percentage of total abortions: only 1 percent of abortions can be traced to cases of rape or incest (Torres and Forrest, cited by Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health and the Alan Guttmacher Institute in An Overview of Abortion in the United States, October 2001, www.abortionfacts.com/facts/8#cite-1, accessed 9/9/21).

Another argument often used against the Christian stance on abortion is, "What about when the mother's life is at risk?" Honestly, this is the most challenging question to answer on the issue of abortion. First, let's remember that such a situation is exceedingly rare. Dr. Landrum Shettles, a pioneer of in vitro fertilization, wrote, "Less than 1 percent of all abortions are performed to save the mother's life" (Landrum Shettles and David Rorvik, Rites of Life, Zondervan Publishing House, 1983, p. 129). When testifying before the U. S. Senate, Dr. Irving Cushner, Professor of Obstetrics at the UCLA School of Medicine, when testifying before the U. S. Senate, was asked how often abortions are necessary to save the life of the mother or preserve her physical health. His response: "In this country, about 1 percent" (testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution of the United States on October 14, 1981, quoted in The Village Voice, July 16, 1985).

Other medical professionals state that abortion is never necessary to save the mother's life. Over 1,000 OB-GYNs and maternal healthcare experts signed a statement in 2012, saying, in part, "As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynecology, we affirm that direct abortion—the purposeful destruction of the unborn child—is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman" (Dublin Declaration on Maternal Health, www.dublindeclaration.com, accessed 9/9/21). Further, in 2019, "medical leaders representing more than 30,000 doctors said intentionally killing a late-term unborn baby in an abortion is never necessary to save a mother's life" (www.lifenews.com/2019/03/05/30000-doctors-say-abortion-is-never-medically-necessary-to-save-a-mothers-life, accessed 9/9/21).

Second, let's remember that God is a God of miracles. He can preserve the life of a mother and her child despite all the medical odds against it. Third, even in the small percentage of abortions performed to save the mother's life, most of those abortions can be prevented by an early induced delivery of the baby or a C-section. It is infrequent that a baby must be actively aborted to save the mother's life. Ultimately, if the mother's life is genuinely at risk, the course of action can only be decided by the woman, her doctor, frequently the father of the child, and God. Any woman facing this complicated situation should pray to the Lord for wisdom (James 1:5) as to what He would have her do.

Most abortions performed today involve women who simply do not want to have the baby. As indicated above, just 2 percent of abortions are for rape, incest, or the mother's life is at risk. Even in these more difficult 2 percent of instances, abortion should never be the first option. The life of a human being in the womb is worth every effort to preserve.

All sins can be forgiven (John 3:16; Romans 8:1; Colossians 1:14). For those who have had an abortion, remember that the sin of abortion is no less forgivable than any other sin. A woman who has had an abortion, a man who has encouraged abortion, and a doctor who has performed an abortion can be forgiven by faith in Jesus Christ.

Why Trusting God is Better than Trusting Man

It can be tempting to trust only those most familiar to us, especially in moments of uncertainty and doubt. For example, we don't always feel like trusting God. In such situations, we may feel tempted to seek out the advice of someone we know and trust instead of trusting in God.

It may seem logical to look to our friends and family first and trust that they are acquainted with the right people. But, in truth, this is not the ideal way of approaching the matter.

Why trusting God is better than trusting man. At its core, a trust is a selfless act.

Trust cannot exist under the threat of losing our reputation, position, or well-being. Therefore, to truly trust someone, we must first be assured that this person will not use our trust for their gain.

Because of this, we must first trust God before trusting anyone else. But what does this mean? What does trusting in God have to do with trusting man?

And more importantly, should we trust God? Let's look at this topic and explore why trusting God is better than trusting man.

It's the right thing to do

In the book of Proverbs, Solomon states: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5) This is a critical aspect of trusting God. When we trust God, we are not doing so because we think it is the right thing to do, but because we know it is the right thing to do. We are trusting because we are confident that what we are trusting in is trustworthy.

We are not trusting because it is a "good" idea. We are trusting because it is the right thing to do. We are not trusting because we hope for a reward. We are trusting because we know it is the right thing to do.

God is trustworthy

In the book of Numbers, God gave the Israelites a promise: "I will bring you into the land of Canaan, where you will be able to enter the land and possess it.

(Numbers 14:22) Why did God not allow the Israelites to enter the Promised Land until they had completed 40 years of wandering in the wilderness? Why did God let the Israelites walk for nearly two full decades before He finally allowed them to enter the land?

The answer is simple: To trust God is to rely upon a trustworthy person. God, Himself states, "My house will be a house of prayer for all nations." (Isaiah 56:67) We trust God because we know He will keep His promises.

Our trust is rewarded.

When we know they will repay our trust with kindness, we trust a person. God is the ultimate source of faith, and He always rewards our trust with kindness.

We can see this in the account of Joseph. Joseph was an enslaved person in Egypt, and he warned his master that he was being taken to prison. His master then put Joseph in prison, and the guards put Joseph in a dungeon.

During this time, Joseph did not trust the guards or the jailer. Joseph trusted God no matter how bad his situation got. His trust was rewarded when Joseph was finally released from prison.

God sent His angel to Joseph, and the angel told Joseph to flee to the land of Canaan, where he would eventually become the second in command and deliver His people.

God always keeps His Word.

God is reliable and trustworthy. This is why we trust Him, and this is why we should trust Him. We trust God because He is trustworthy and dependable, and we can trust Him to do what He says He will do. We trust Him when we know He will be accurate and faithful to His word.

We see this in the story of Gideon when the Philistines were invading the land. The people of Israel begged Gideon for help, and Gideon promised to deliver them. But, one promise, in particular, drew Gideon's trust: "The Lord will fight for you, and you will defeat the Philistines." (Judges 6:12)

When the Philistines were finally defeated and the Israelites were freed from the oppression of their enemies, God kept His promise. He fought for them, and He defeated the Philistines.

It's essential to trust in God.

Trust is a relationship between two parties, and rightly so. In this case—we trust God. However, this means that we need to trust Him, but how is this possible? How can we trust something we do not understand? And how can we trust something that we have no tangible evidence of existing?

To trust something, we must believe it based on evidence. God, however, is something that most people do not know exists. But God promises to give us enough proof that we can trust Him.

Conclusion

There are many reasons to trust in God. One of the most important reasons is that trusting Him is better than trusting man. It is better because it is something that we do, not something that we think about.

It is something that we do, not something that we hope for. It is better than trusting someone because it is for the long-term, not just for now.

Trusting in God is better than relying upon someone because it is something that is for eternity. Trusting in God is better than trusting someone because God is trustworthy and reliable.

Trusting in God is better than relying upon someone because God can keep His Word, and this is what matters most. The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

To fear man also means to please a man, prioritizing the will of man above the will of God. There are two main ways we can come under the fear of man.

The first is through control or domination. This is where some men use intimidation to try and force you under their power because of their position, wealth, and status.

The second way is through manipulation, and this is where persuasive lies are used, so they show you a false love or give you false praise, but the goal is to get you in a place where you don't want to lose that seeming love or praise, so you are subject to their will. In another case, by subjecting your will to them, you are ultimately subjecting to Satan because those men are themselves subjects to Satan. So, you are not only their slave, but you become a slave of Satan.

In the book of Colossians, Paul says that even when you serve in your work under other men, do it as unto God and not unto men. This way, every decision can be guarded by God alone.

If our goal is ultimately to please men, then we cannot be servants of Christ.

Do you believe in the power of Prayer……I certainly do….Jesus Lives

New International Version

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Matthew 24:6-13

New International Version

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Please pray for God’s protection upon the Ukrainians, and for His protection upon Israel. Both are being attacked by evil people and terrorists.

Please pray for those who are suffering from pain; addictions; depression; loneliness; heartache; loss of a loved one/pet; homelessness; fighting cancer/diseases; obesity; anorexia; financial issues; job issues; and attacks from the enemy.

Please pray for our parched land to receive an abundant amount of rain and snow.

The Bible never specifically addresses the issue of abortion. However, there are numerous teachings in Scripture that make it abundantly clear what God’s view of abortion is Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He forms us in the womb.

What does the Bible say about abortion? Simply put, abortion is murder. It is the killing of a human being created in the image of God.

Please pray for babies not to be aborted/murdered, and for the Doctors and Nurses who do this to repent of their sins, confess them to Jesus, and receive Him as their Savior.

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus tells his followers, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.”

And please pray for those of us who minister on the streets to Momma’s as they try to enter the murder mills. For Jesus to shine His Light through us into their hearts, and for His protection upon us as we witness. And for his protection upon the babies and the mothers.

For God’s will, strength, courage, Word, peace, love, boldness, wisdom, and knowledge upon all who minister in His Son’s

glorious name.

Is there really 7 Reasons America is NOT the New World Order The New World Order is an international conspiracy that aims to establish a world government. The term comes from a novel by John Wilkes Booth, who referred to it as "The Great Rebellion." The roots of the New World Order can be traced back to the 18th century and the emergence of the Illuminati. The Illuminati was an occult society founded on May 1, 1776, with the intent of creating a new world order. Similar groups have popped up over time and they continue to this day. The Illuminati isn't the only secretive society that has inspired the New World Order. Groups like the Freemasons, Skull and Bones, and the Knights Templar have also been accused of working toward the same goal. Many of these organizations are also thought to be part of the New World Order.

The term comes from a novel by John Wilkes Booth, who referred to it as "The Great Rebellion." The roots of the New World Order can be traced back to the 18th century and the emergence of the Illuminati.

The Freemasons Freemasons are one of the oldest and most powerful secret societies. They are a fraternity that aims to spread the ideals of Freemasonry. Founded in 15th century Scotland, the Freemasons have been influential throughout history. The group is also thought to be part of the New World Order because they are an older society with ties to many other societies who are also thought to be working toward world domination.

A significant number of presidents and world leaders were Masons: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Many members of Congress today are also Masons. That includes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

The Skull and Bones Skull and Bones is an American society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is the oldest senior class society of Yale College, with a membership of about 2,000 men.

The society's alumni organization, the Russell Trust Association, owns and manages the Skull and Bones building and endowment.

Skull and Bones has been surrounded by many conspiracy theories throughout its long history. The most well-known one is that it was created as a front for an Illuminati group who aims to create a so-called "New World Order."

However many conspiracies are unfounded. For example, there is no evidence that the society is an Illuminati front or that they plan to take over the world. There are also no ties between Skull and Bones and organized crime or that they maintain any control of Yale's academic life.

The Knights Templar One of the more mysterious groups connected to the New World Order is the Knights Templar. The Templars were a medieval Catholic order with a military and monastic focus. They're best known for their role in the Crusades, but they also had a hand in establishing banking and trade routes.

The Templars' most famous moment came with their involvement in the persecution of King Jacques II of France, who was later absolved by Pope Clement V. After Jacques II's death, Philip IV arrested all members of the order in Europe and seized its assets. Although it was initially founded to protect Christians on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, many began to view the Knights Templar as a corrupt institution that traded in violence and extortion along with pagan practices like witchcraft.

The Knights Templar are thought to be responsible for hiding some kind of treasure, which some believe might be buried beneath Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Some even go so far as to say that this treasure includes Jesus' bones and his holy bloodline, which would make it worth trillions of dollars today.

Some people think that those involved in the New World Order are trying to take control of this "Holy Grail," but there's no evidence linking them together outside speculation.

Fact or fiction Conspiracy theories One of the most common conspiracy theories is that the New World Order is an organization that seeks to control and manipulate world affairs, including the economy, politics, and social issues. The theory says that this organization has been slowly trying to take over the world since it was first conceived in 1776. Many people believe that the New World Order has already achieved its goal. Others say they've come close to achieving their goals but have not completed them yet.

Theories about the New World Order are very diverse. Some people say it's a group of powerful political families who rule together; others believe it's a committee of wealthy individuals who mastermind every major event on Earth. There are also people who believe it's a secret society working for centuries to create a one-world government system. However, there is no consensus on what exactly the goals of this group or society are. This leads many theorists to disagree and fight with each other about what should be done next, if anything at all.

Summing up with God’s word America

America is not the New World Order. America is one of many countries that were once part of the New World Order. The United States has never been a member of the New World Order and there's no reason to believe that it ever will be.

The Bible does not use the phrase “one-world government” or “one-world currency” in referring to the end times. It does, however, provide ample evidence to enable us to draw the conclusion that both will exist under the rule of the Antichrist in the last few days.

In an off-the-cuff remark “Now is a time when things are shifting,” Biden told a crowd of CEOs at the Business Roundtable's quarterly meeting on March 21. “There’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.” Is this opening the door for the anti-Christ? No this is not a Conspiracy Theory. Just something to ponder.

In his apocalyptic vision in the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John sees the “beast,” also called the Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 13:1). Combining this vision with Daniel’s similar one (Daniel 7:16-24), we can conclude that some sort of world system will be inaugurated by the beast, the most powerful “horn,” who will defeat the other nine and will begin to wage war against Christians. The ten-nation confederacy is also seen in Daniel’s image of the statue in Daniel 2:41-42, where he pictures the final world government consisting of ten entities represented by the ten toes of the statue. Whoever the ten are and however they come to power, Scripture is clear that the beast will either destroy them or reduce their power to nothing more than figureheads. In the end, they will do his bidding.

John goes on to describe the ruler of this vast empire as having power and great authority, given to him by Satan himself (Revelation 13:2), being followed by and receiving worship from “all the world” (13:3-4), and having authority over “every tribe, people, language and nation” (13:7). From this description, it is logical to assume that this person is the leader of a one-world government that is recognized as sovereign over all other governments. It’s hard to imagine how such diverse systems of government as are in power today would willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler, and there are many theories on the subject. A logical conclusion is that the disasters and plagues described in Revelation as the seal and trumpet judgments (chapters 6-11) will be so devastating and create such a monumental global crisis that people will embrace anything and anyone who promises to give them relief.

Once entrenched in power, the beast (Antichrist) and the power behind him (Satan) will move to establish absolute control over all peoples of the earth to accomplish their true end, the worship Satan has been seeking ever since being thrown out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12-14). One way they will accomplish this is by controlling all commerce, and this is where the idea of a one-world currency comes in. Revelation 13:16-17 describes some sort of satanic mark that will be required in order to buy and sell. This means anyone who refuses the mark will be unable to buy food, clothing, or other necessities of life. No doubt the vast majority of people in the world will succumb to the mark simply to survive. Again, verse 16 makes it clear that this will be a universal system of control where everyone, rich and poor, great and small, will bear the mark on their hand or forehead. There is a great deal of speculation as to how exactly this mark will be affixed, but the technologies that are available right now could accomplish it very easily.

Those who are left behind after the Rapture of the Church will be faced with an excruciating choice—accept the mark of the beast in order to survive or face starvation and horrific persecution by the Antichrist and his followers. But those who come to Christ during this time, those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 13:8), will choose to endure, even to martyrdom.

The Easter Story: What It Is and How It Changed History Easter is one of the most celebrated Christian holidays in the world. Every year Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This day has been a holiday since the early 1900s, but it has roots in ancient times. The story of Easter is told through three main parts: The Last Supper, Jesus' crucifixion, and His resurrection. This blog post will explore each part of this ancient story and how it changed the world forever.

The Last Supper The Last Supper is a term that describes the last meal that Jesus shared with his disciples before being executed. This meal was a Passover Seder, the Jewish celebration of liberation from slavery in Egypt. Symbolically, this meal represented Jesus' death and sacrificed for the sins of all people.

Jesus's Crucifixion Jesus's crucifixion is the second part of the Easter story. This event took place on April 7, 33 AD, and his crucifixion occurred in Jerusalem. The Romans often used crucifixion as a form of punishment for those who rebelled against them, which Jesus did during his life. With help from Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot, he was sentenced to crucifixion.

Jesus's Resurrection The most important part of the Easter story is Jesus's resurrection. At first, Jesus's followers were heartbroken and depressed after his death. But after he was resurrected, they went out and spread the good news to everyone. The Bible says that he appeared to his disciples and friends in several places after his death. He spent 40 days with them before ascending to heaven. They told the world what happened on Easter, and the importance of Jesus's resurrection changed everything.

The Story of Easter The story of Easter is told through three primary parts: The Last Supper, Jesus' crucifixion, and His resurrection. The Last Supper is when Jesus broke bread with his followers and said that they would share in his body and blood. Jesus was crucified the following day and died on the cross. He rose from the dead that night, appearing to his followers before ascending into heaven.

The story of Easter has been celebrated for centuries by Christians worldwide and has changed our understanding of what it means to live a good life. One of the most significant changes was how Christianity viewed death. Before this story, Christians believed the end-all-be-all was to ascend into heaven as Jesus did after dying on the cross. Afterward, Christians realized that death is not an end but a new beginning for those who believe in Christ's teachings about eternal life.

Did you know... that many thought that Easter began as a pagan holiday to celebrate fertility in the spring. It was called Eastre or Eostra, and it marked the arrival of spring.

No, Easter is not a pagan holiday. Easter is the Christian celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead. Christians believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died for our sins on a Roman cross, was buried, and rose to life again "on the first day of the week, very early in the morning" (Luke 24:1).

Those who claim that Easter is a pagan holiday usually mean that the word Easter is etymologically linked to the name of an ancient goddess or that various pagan groups also held ceremonies in the springtime. Neither claim carries much weight.

First, we'll consider Easter as a pagan holiday because the name Easter has pagan origins. Some say that a Saxon goddess named Eostre is the namesake of our modern holiday. Others say that the word Easter comes from a Germanic goddess named Ostara. The problem with both theories is that there is no objective evidence that anyone ever worshiped a goddess by either name. The only mention of Eostre comes from a passing reference in the history of the Venerable Bede. The first mention of a goddess named Ostara is in a book by Jakob Grimm—and Grimm admitted that he could find no solid link between Easter and pagan celebrations.

Next, we'll consider that Easter is a pagan holiday because its springtime observance coincides with those of pagan religions. There are a plethora of pagan holidays that occur during the season covered by Easter: the Day of Bau (Babylonian), Dark Mother Day (Indian), the Day of Fortuna (Roman), the Feast of Blajini (Romanian), the Feast of Artemis/Diana (Greek/Roman), the Feast of Tellus Mater (Roman), the Festival of Ba'ast (Egyptian), the Festival of Ishtar (Babylonian), the Feast of Elaphebolia (Athenian), and Odin's Day (Norse), to name a few. But sharing a date on the calendar is no proof that two holidays are related. A married couple who celebrate their wedding anniversary on October 31 should not be accused of appropriating Halloween.

In short, claims that Easter is a pagan holiday are based on hearsay, assumptions, and inferences, with no hard evidence to back them up. Even if Easter Sunday were a Christianized version of an ancient pagan holiday, it would not mean that Easter itself is a pagan holiday. No one today is sacrificing to a goddess named Eostre or Ostara. Regardless of what a day may once have meant, today's observance needs to be evaluated based on what it means today. Christians celebrating Easter are no more pagan than are churches who gather to worship on Sunday (so named because it was the pagan "Day of the Sun"). The pagan origins of the names of the days of the week have nothing to do with the church's weekly gatherings, and ancient pagan spring festivals have no real bearing on the modern Christian celebration of Easter.

Although not written about Easter, Romans 14:5–6 can apply: "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord." If individual Christian worries about some aspects of an Easter celebration, that Christian should do what they believe to be correct. He should not judge others who celebrate differently, nor should the others consider him when no clear biblical guideline is involved.

Conclusion The Easter Story is a story of death and resurrection, but it's a story that has changed the world. Every year, Christians worldwide celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by eating Easter eggs and acknowledging the story of Jesus laying down his life for others. Christians believe that Jesus died as a sacrifice for the sins of humanity and that his death was a victory over sin and death. Many scholars believe that the empty tomb is one of the most historically verifiable facts about Jesus.

The message of Easter is one of hope and redemption. The Easter story does not just belong to Christians; it belongs to everyone who celebrates life.

Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it" - Proverbs 22:6, Sex is a topic that most do not want to mention or talk about.

Did you know:

Most teenagers in America have sex for the first time, have sexual intercourse at about age 17. So it differs by socioeconomic class, race and ethnicity, and that sort of thing. But generally speaking, sex, intercourse at 17.

However, kids engage in sexual activity, usually at about 13 or so. And if you think about your growing up and when you were in high school, and when kids started making out and having boyfriends and getting seriously sexually active, it was usually about then.

By the time kids are age 13 - 16, they begin to develop their sexual muscles, fooling around, making out with their boyfriends, or with people they don't know well. So it's essential for your kids to know this and to know it's typical and familiar, and for you as a parent to know what to expect in terms of your kid's sexual activity. Amy Lang, MA

Do your best Help Your Teenager Make the Most of Their Relationships with the Opposite Sex. It's common for parents to worry about their teenager's relationships with the opposite sex.

But things are different today. The internet, smartphones, and social media have significantly impacted how we interact with each other.

Teenagers now spend more time online than they do in person, which has led to a new set of challenges in relationships. From sexting and cyberbullying to addiction to pornography, there are many ways that our digital devices can get us into trouble when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex.

Here are some ways to help your teenager make the most of their relationship with the opposite sex. The Challenges of Relationships with the Opposite Sex in the Age of Technology

We usually refer to romantic relationships when we talk about "relationships," but this term can also apply to spiritual or familial relationships. It's not easy to raise a teenager in this day and age, especially when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex.

The two main challenges of teen relationships today are:

Cyberbullying: Cyberbullying is any form of bullying that occurs through digital communication devices such as cell phones, text messages, phishing emails, or social media posts.

Teens have started using these forms of communication for their malicious purposes, sending hurtful messages or posting embarrassing pictures of others without their permission.

Cyberdating/sexting: Another challenge is shifting from traditional courtship (dating) to cyber dating/sexting. With cyber dating/sexting, teens use technology like Snapchat or Facebook Messenger as ways to flirt with each other before meeting up in person for a date.

With these apps, there are no repercussions if you get rejected because the conversation isn't face-to-face or if you break up with someone because they don't exist in real life.

Do your best to Help Your Teenager Make the Most of Their Relationships with the Opposite Sex. If you're a parent of a teenage child, the last thing you want is for them to get into trouble with the opposite sex.

And with everyone now available on social media and smartphones, it's easier than ever for your teen to get themselves in trouble. But there are ways for parents to help their teenagers make the most of their relationships with the opposite sex.

One way is by teaching them about healthy relationships. Conversations about what consent means, what constitutes cheating, and what values they should have when it comes to dating are essential topics that should be discussed throughout adolescence. Helping your teen understand these topics will help them later in life when they start to date and form genuine relationships with the opposite sex.

Teach your teenager how to maintain healthy friendships that won't come between their relationship with the opposite sex.

There are many types of friends that might come between your teen's relationship: friends who gossip or share secrets, friends who constantly need something from your teen, friends who don't have boundaries when it comes to phone time and privacy, or friends who might use social media against them.

These friends can be harmful to your teenager's relationship; if teenagers don't establish and maintain healthy friendships early on, it will only worsen as they grow up.

Do your best to Help Your Teenager Make the Most of Their Relationships with the Opposite Sex. Perhaps the best thing you can do to help your teenager make the most of their relationship with the opposite sex is to get educated.

You need to know everything going on in their lives and what they might be facing. The internet, smartphones, and social media can be addicting, and it's easy for kids to get into trouble when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex. Here are some ways you can help your teenager make the most of their relationships with the opposite sex:

Talk about sexting and cyberbullying. It's common for kids to send an inappropriate text or post a picture of themselves on Instagram without thinking about how someone might react. As a parent, it's your job to talk about this type of interaction, so they understand the potential consequences.
Talk about addiction to pornography. Pornography is accessible, and many kids have addictive behaviors towards it.

This could lead them down a road where they don't want to have actual sexual contact with people in real life because they're only interested in using porn as their source of arousal or gratification.

Make sure your teen understands that porn should never replace having an actual sexual partner! - Know what apps they're using -

Even though this may seem like common sense, many parents don't know what apps their kids are operating daily or which ones may be dangerous for them or other people online. Ask your child which apps they regularly use so you know what types of interactions

Conclusion

Understanding how to help your teenager make the most of their relationships with the opposite sex is a challenge.

Still, with a little patience and guidance, you can help them navigate the challenges of dating in the digital age.

Parents need to understand that their role is not to monitor their teenager's relationships but to provide them with the tools they need to navigate them successfully. In this way, you're helping your teenager make the most of their relationships with the opposite sex.

What Does the Bible Say About Gun Ownership?

The idea of a Christian owning a gun seems contradictory, but what does the bible say about it?

The Bible is not as clear on this topic as we may hope.

The Bible doesn’t provide explicit instructions on whether or not Christians should own guns. Interestingly,

when Jesus was asked whether Christians should “turn the other cheek” in regards to violence, he said yes. Some people have taken this to mean that turning the other cheek means not defending ourselves at all,

which contradicts messages from scriptures like Proverbs 24:11-12 and Romans 12:17-21 that encourage us to defend ourselves if we are being harmed.

perhaps this podcast will help you make peace with your decision to own a gun or not by examining biblical texts about self-defense and violence for answers.

Should we as Christians Own Guns?

again The Bible is not as clear on this topic as we may hope.

Due to the growing level of violence in our world and the extent of peace in Scripture, there is much debate among Christians regarding whether it is appropriate for a Christian to own weapons. However, a comprehensive look at the Bible offers insight regarding historic practices that inform this issue today.

We have the example of the apostles, who owned weapons. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He asked His followers to bring swords. They had two, which Jesus claimed was enough (Luke 22:37-39). As Jesus was being arrested, Peter sliced off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest (John 18:10). Jesus healed the man instantly (Luke 22:51) and commanded Peter to put away his weapon (John 18:11). Peter’s ownership of a sword was not condemned, only his particular use of it.

On another occasion, soldiers came to be baptized by John the Baptist. When asked what to do to live for God, John told them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages” (Luke 3:14). John stopped short of telling them to lay down their weapons.

And then there is David, who praised God “who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle” (Psalm 144:1). The Old Testament contains many other examples of godly men who owned and used weapons, usually in the context of warfare.

The Bible never forbids a Christian from owning a weapon, but it does offer some principles to consider. First, Christians are called to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:10). A Christian considering the purchase of a weapon should prayerfully consider if doing so would aid in peace-making.

Second, a Christian should only own a weapon for a purpose that would honor God (1 Corinthians 10:23). Using a weapon for hunting, military or law enforcement duty or self-defense may honor God. Still, a person should reflect on his or her motives for owning a particular weapon.

Third, a Christian should abide by local laws, including gun laws. Romans 13 is clear that governing authorities are from God and are to be obeyed. Further, we are to pray on behalf of governing leaders who oversee our communities and nation (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

Ultimately, there is nothing sinful about owning a gun or other weapon. A weapon can be useful and even necessary in some contexts; at the same time, Christians should carefully consider their motive and purpose in owning a weapon, and local ordinances should be followed.

maybe this podcast will help you make peace with your decision to own a gun or not by examining biblical texts about self-defense and violence for answers.

The Bible and Gun Violence

The Bible actually provides some insight into what it says about gun violence. The bible has a lot to say about violence in the Old Testament, but it is ambiguous in the New Testament.

In the Old Testament, there are many instances of violence.

The stories of King David and King Saul both have many tales of violence and war. In each instance, God sometimes commanded that they do not take innocent life while at other times they were commanded to kill innocent people.

In the New Testament, Jesus dissuades his followers from using force or defending themselves if someone is attacking them with a sword (Luke 22:36).

This can be interpreted as Jesus telling his disciples to simply turn the other cheek when confronted by an attacker rather than fighting back.

The Old Testament verses that talk about self-defense seem to be more open to taking life from an aggressor. Proverbs 24:11-12 seems to say that it’s okay to use force in order to save someone’s life or property if they are being attacked by another person.

Romans 12:17-21 also encourages Christians to defend themselves against attacks if their lives are in danger or their property is being threatened.

If you’re struggling with this decision and want guidance on whether or not you should own a gun, examine these biblical texts for answers and peace with your decision!

The Bible and Self Defense

The Bible does not say much about self-defense and violence, but it does have a few passages about the topic. Proverbs 24:11-12 says,

“Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter”. The passage is instructing Christians to help those in danger of dying or being killed by preventing their death. It is unclear if this means that we should only defend people or if we can use violence to save them.

The passage in Romans 12:17-21 also seems to encourage Christians to defend themselves when necessary.

It states, “Do not repay anyone evil for evil" but "overcome evil with good" and "If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone".

This passage doesn’t specifically mention self-defense but it does instruct us how we should respond when somebody hurts us. We should do good instead of evil and try our best to live peaceably with others.

Jesus’s teaching in Luke 6:27-36 was more specific about violence than the other passages mentioned above. He instructed his followers not to seek revenge when someone mistreated them and instead give what is due—love and mercy.

Again, it is unclear whether Jesus meant that we shouldn’t defend ourselves from aggressors or whether he meant that we should only love others even when they mistreat us for example, by giving them mercy instead of defending ourselves from harm

How to Make Peace With Your Decision

Some Christians feel like they are at odds with their faith and their desire to own a gun. Some people think that owning a gun is inherently contradictory. hopefully, this podcast will help you make peace with your decision by examining biblical texts about self-defense and violence.

We can make sense of these verses by considering them in context and in society today.

For example, Romans 13:4 says, "For he is God's servant for your good." In the original context of this verse, Paul was saying that because government officials do things for our good - such as enforcing laws - we should respect them and obey their commands without dispute or resistance. Today, however, many view this verse as an argument against obeying the law when it conflicts with what's morally right; some use it as an argument against gun ownership because they believe it would violate God's commandment to "turn the other cheek."

There are some verses that prohibit violence

If you decide not to own a gun

If you decide that owning a gun is against your values, then you will need to figure out how you can keep yourself safe without one.

There are many other weapons and self-defense methods that can be used to defend oneself. Perhaps the easiest solution for Christians who don’t want a gun is to use martial arts training or learn karate. Weapons such as pepper spray and knives can also be used for protection. Above all, it is important to seek God in this decision and know that He will protect you no matter what you decide.

If you decide to own a gun

If you decide to own a gun, there are some important things to keep in mind. First, the Bible does not give specifics on whether or not Christians should have guns. However, Jesus’ teaching on turning the other cheek has been interpreted by some people to mean that Christians shouldn’t defend themselves at all. If you do decide to keep a gun on hand for protection, there are some things to keep in mind.

Ask God for guidance

pray about owning a gun

know that you're in good company

The Bible is not as clear about this topic, but there are some scriptures that can guide your decision. If you decide to own a gun, know that you're in good company.

The United States is the most heavily armed society in the world with around 270 million firearms. There are around 89 guns per 100 people and 46 percent of Americans say they own a firearm.

remember Psalm 46 King James Version

46 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.

I want to make it extremely clear that I'm not telling anyone to leave their church. To be honest, the Bible tells us we need to attend church to worship God with other believers and be taught His Word for our spiritual growth. The early church "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). Back then, they had no designated church building, but "every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46). Wherever the meeting takes place, believers thrive on fellowship with other believers and the teaching of God's Word. We should follow that example of devotion—and to the same things. Why Christians Need to Get Out of the Church: A Powerful Call for Change The church is a central part of many Christians' lives. It's where we come together to worship, study scripture, and share life with other believers. But as necessary as it is, the church has become stagnant and uninspiring. For some, the thought of going to church seems like a chore. Others enjoy it but find it challenging to make time for it when they have so many other things going on in their lives. I remember my mother would say that you need to go the most when you do not feel like going to church, so you see, this doesn't mean that all hope is lost! It just means that we need to make some changes if the church stays relevant in this new digital age. In our lives, here are some ways you can help change your church into something more modern and engaging.

Why Christians Need to Get Out of the Church More than ever, the church is alive and well. Whether you're looking for a community to speak your faith with or need a place to worship, churches are easily accessible in almost every city. But as necessary as the church is, it has become stagnant and uninspiring. Church attendance has been declining since the 1950s, so it's time for Christians to make some changes if we want our faith to stay relevant in this new digital age.

The problem is that many people have become disconnected from church culture because of how unappealing it can be at times. For some, attending church seems like a chore because of how lifeless and outdated it can seem. Others enjoy going but find themselves too busy with life to take time out of their days to attend on Sundays or even during the weekdays when they have more free time.

But don't let those reasons stop you! We need your help changing our churches into something more modern and engaging. Here are six ways you can help transform your church into something more interesting:

What Is Modern and Engaging? What does it mean to have a modern and engaging church? It implies including more technology and making it easier for people to find out about your church. More access points for information are reasonable. You want to post on social media, use email lists, or even send text messages. Find out what works best for you and your community, and then take the necessary steps to get that information in the hands of others.

A Christian congregation is one of the central parts of many Christians' lives. The church is where Christians worship, study scripture, and share life with other believers. As important as the church may be, some people feel it has become stagnant and uninspiring due to a lack of change. For those struggling with this stagnation or lack of inspiration in their churches, some changes should be made if the church wants to maintain its relevance in today's digital age. Here are six ways you can help change your church into something more modern and engaging!

How Christians Can Make Changes at Their Church No one denies that the church can be a powerful and life-changing place. But it's also important to recognize that many times, we aren't engaging with our church in the same way anymore. It's not just about going to church every week and listening to sermons from the pulpit. Churches need to find ways to engage their communities in meaningful conversations about faith, hope, and love.

One of the best ways churches can change is by using social media for outreach and engagement. One way is through technology. Digital platforms like Facebook and Twitter are an excellent way for churches to reach people who might not come on Sundays or even know that there's a church nearby. Each day, there are more than 600 million people on Facebook who have expressed interest in Christianity as well as Christianity-related content. More than 400 million active monthly users on Instagram--a popular app among young adults--who have expressed some interest in Christianity-related posts, meaning that this platform could be the perfect place for churches to connect with those who don't feel connected at church.

Making Change Happen If you want to make change happen, there are a few things you need to know. First, people believe that a church is something expected and required. We feel obligated to go because it was ingrained in us early. But remember going to church doesn't have to be a chore; it can be enjoyable! The key is finding a meaningful and relevant church for your own life.

Next, try bringing these ideas back with you from your next Sunday service. You might find that some of them are hard to implement. If so, don't give up! You'll need to find other ways that fit better into your life and the lives of those around you. For example, if you're on vacation for two weeks and can't attend your church's Sunday service, start looking for video recordings or sermons online so you stay connected with the congregation when you're away from home.

Lastly, take time out of your day (or week) every day - even if it's only 15 minutes - to pray and read scripture together as a family unit or individually if necessary (even on social media!). It will help foster intimacy with God in our daily lives and remind us why we're doing all of this in the first place: our love for Jesus Christ!

The Challenge of Change The challenge of change is a hurdle for many churches. It can be scary for some to think about what could happen if the church changes too much. Many worries that people will leave and stop coming to church because it's not what they're used to. But this can be a good thing. If we make our congregations more accessible and engaging, attendance will increase, and we'll see new faces in our pews. The way we change things doesn't have to be drastic either. We can make minor, incremental adjustments that will result in significant changes over time.

Conclusion Christians need to take their faith out of the church and into the world.

A faith that is not lived out in the community, with the people of this world, is not a faith at all.

We are called to be in the world, not of it.

We need to be where people are hurting, where people are lonely, where people require a word of encouragement or hope.

We need to meet people where they are, not where we want them to be.

We need to open our churches—not as a place for Christians to go on Sundays, but as a center for community and change.

Numbers 6:24-26 New King James Version 24 “The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’

Lent 2022 began on Wednesday, March 2and ends on Thursday, April 142022

A little about Lent; Lent is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, before beginning his public ministry, during which he endured temptation by Satan.

Dear podcast listeners

As you stroll through the local stores, you’ll see an abundance of bunnies, baskets, and candy for sale, and those may be the only signs of Easter you’ll find outside of the church. Easter is primarily uncommercialized, unlike its Christmas counterpart, which is pretty remarkable: the day that we celebrate the glory of Christ’s resurrection remains untainted by retailers.

However, just because we’re not receiving Easter ad upon Easter ad in our newspapers and inboxes doesn’t mean we should pigeonhole the holiday as a minor celebration. Easter is perhaps the most important holiday on the Christian calendar—even the word crucial has its roots in Christianity, stemming from the term crucify.

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels waited on him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the Good News. ”– Mark 1:12-15

The season we call Lent, the forty days before Easter, represents the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, continually tempted by Satan.

When He emerged from the wilderness, He knew it was time for the prophecy of His death and resurrection to be fulfilled.

As believers, we remember this. We look to this time of Lent as a way to go into our own ‘wilderness’ of sorts; we pray, we fast, we meditate, we worship, we focus on God. We ready ourselves for the grief of Christ’s death, and we take joy in the gospel of His rising again. We are granted eternal life through Christ; the Messiah lifted up.

I invite you to join us as we take a closer look at the life of Christ these next few weeks as we recall what this season is all about.

Blessings in Christ,

Greetings in Christ! Brothers and sister in Christ

I don't know about you, but I imagine your heart is breaking like mine as we see the images coming out of Ukraine as Russia attacks them.

While this conflict is seven in duration to this point, we know there has been a conflict for years. While I don't know all the political ramifications, I do know there are Christians in Ukraine, and yes, there are Christians in Russia!

I believe God has representatives of His family in every Nation and Tribe of this world, and we should do our best to pray for the protection of those who love Jesus AND who may have never heard of Jesus! They need to hear of His love and mercy for them.

Matthew 24:8 tells us, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."

This podcast is not intended to be a prophetic word about where we are in God's timetable. Of course, only God the Father knows the "day and hour" when Jesus will come again, but if we genuinely love the Lord, we look forward to that day!

Revelation 22:20 (NKJV) 20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

With that in mind, we know that while we as the people of God dwell on this earth, there will be challenges along the way. The people of Ukraine are going through tremendous difficulty as Russia (primarily Putin) has declared war on them.

I want to encourage you to pray for the believers in Ukraine, as well as those who may not know the Lord but, even at this time, are calling to Christ quite possibly for the first time.

According to the latest polls, a very high percentage of the population, 86.52%, professes to be a believer in Ukraine.

Did you know that Ukraine has the highest percentage of Evangelical Christians in the ancient USSR and continental Europe today?

Ukraine has the largest concentration of evangelical churches in Eastern Europe. And many Ukrainian missionaries are serving in different countries today.

God has been doing amazing things in Ukraine, and I believe He is not finished yet!

This is not meant to be a "political" podcast, but in fact, God has His family spread out all over this world in every nation. Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ live in persecution and hardship, but they are our family!

I am simply asking you to pray for God's protection and perfect will to be accomplished in this situation. There is power in prayer, and God wants us to come to Him with humble hearts pleading for His mercy.

Will you commit to joining me in prayer in the way God leads you throughout the days ahead?

Matthew 18:18 (NKJV) 18 Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Let's pray that hearts will soften, and peace will prevail, but most of all, that the Gospel of Christ will permeate the earth!

Blessing In Christ,

Thank you for your prayers

With so much going on in the world, we all need to get right with God.

We need to develop a steadfast relationship with God, an unbreakable Unshakeable relationship.

Many are worried about Russia's outright invasion of Ukraine. We as Christians should pray for peace on behalf of the Ukrainian people (1 Timothy 2:1–2; Romans 12:1) also for Russia as well.

To develop a close relationship with God, we need to spend quality time with Him. We need to study His Word and let His Holy Spirit speak to us through it. We require time to spend in earnest prayer, talking to Him, praising and worshiping Him. We need time to look at nature and reflect on all the beautiful creations He has made. And finally, we need time to spend with fellow believers, worship together in song, and have fellowship with each other, encouraging one another and building up each other's faith by our testimonies.

In this hectic world with our busy lifestyles, it is so easy to get so engrossed in other things that we never have time for God. Some of us may spend a couple of hours of a Sunday morning attending church. Still, then the humdrum of the rat race catches up with us, and we find ourselves mowing lawns, going to the footy, or off doing other secular activities where God is not a part of it.

With stress-related diseases such as heart attack and cancer increasing every year, the necessity to take a day's break and bask in the presence of our mighty father in Heaven has never been so vital. We need to be replenished and rested so that our bodies have time to recuperate.

God gave us His Sabbath day as a blessing to all humankind. A day that we could genuinely get to know and fellowship with Him and not have to do any work or labor. A day on which to rest, away from the worries and cares of this world. He also ordained it as a day in remembrance that He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. The scriptures say Exodus 20:8-11 New International Version

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

The Bible shows the true spirit of the Sabbath. Isaiah 58:13-14 New International Version

13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day,

if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

14 then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

This is a verse that all of us should consider Joshua 24:15 New International Version

15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

A miracle of God is an extraordinary or unnatural event that reveals or confirms a specific message through a mighty work. Jesus performed plenty of miracles. All the miracles He did were to glorify God, help others, and prove that He was indeed who He said He was—the Son of God. When He calmed the storm in Matthew 8, for example, the disciples were astonished and they asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” (verse 27).

The Gospels record many of the miracles that Jesus performed. Of course, many of the things that Jesus did could not have been recorded in such short works. John freely admits, “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book…Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written” (John 20:30 and 21:25).

Different Gospels often record the same miracles, with each one giving slightly different details. Sometimes, it is impossible to know if a particular miracle recorded in the Gospels is simply one miracle recorded from different angles or if two separate miracles are being recorded. None of the Gospel writers are particularly concerned with strict chronology, and they sometimes do not give us all the details we might be interested to know.

The miracles Jesus performed and listed below have been grouped into broad categories with accompanying references without attempting to determine which miracles are recorded multiple times and which may be unique to each of the Gospels:

Miracles of Healing

Lepers cleansed: Matthew 8:1–4; Mark 1:41–45; Luke 5:12–14; 17:11–19
Blind receive sight: Matthew 9:27–31; Mark 8:22–26; 10:46–52 Luke 18:35–43; John 9:1–38
People are healed from a distance: Matthew 8:5–13; Luke 7:2–10; John 4:46–54
Peter’s mother-in-law healed: Mark 1:29–31
Paralyzed man healed: Matthew 9:1–8; Mark 2:1–12; Luke 5:17–26
People touching Jesus’ clothing are healed: Matthew 9:20–23; 14:35–36; Mark 5:25–34; 6:53–56; Luke 8:43–48
Various healings on the Sabbath: Mark 3:1–6; Luke 6:6–10; 13:10–17; 14:1–6; John 5:1–18
Deaf and mute man healed: Mark 7:31–37
Cut-off ear is repaired: Luke 22:47–53
Demons cast out (and specific physical ailments accompanying the demons healed): Matthew 9:32–33; 17:14–18; Mark 9:14–29; Luke 9:37–42
Demons cast out (no specific physical ailments mentioned): Matthew 8:28–34; 15:21–28; Mark 1:23–27; 5:1–20; 7:24–30; Luke 4:31–37; 8:26–39
Multitudes healed: Matthew 9:35; 15:29–31; Mark 1:32–34; 3:9–12; Luke 6:17–19
The dead raised to life: Matthew 9:18–26; Mark 5:21–43; Luke 8:40–56; John 11:1–45

Other Miracles

Multitudes fed (food multiplies): Matthew 14:13–21; 15:32–39; Mark 6:33–44; 8:1–10; Luke 9:12–17; John 6:1–14
Walks on water: Matthew 14:22–33 (Peter too); Mark 6:45–52; John 6:15–21
Calms a storm: Matthew 8:22–25; Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25
Fills nets with fish: Luke 5:1–11; John 21:1–14
Peter catches fish with money in its mouth (for the temple tax): Matthew 17:24–27
Turns water to wine: John 2:1–11
Cursed tree withers: Matthew 21:18–22; Mark 11:12–25

From the list above, we see that the vast majority of miracles recorded in the Gospels were miracles of healing. While those who received the healing were relieved of their physical ailments, the stated purpose of the miracles is rarely ever the simple alleviation of physical suffering. The miracle of healing always points to a greater truth, namely, that Jesus is the Son of God with authority. When He casts out demons, His authority over them is emphasized. When He heals on the Sabbath, His authority as Lord of the Sabbath is emphasized. Likewise, many of the miracles emphasize Jesus’ authority over nature.

There is no better way to study the miracles of Jesus than to read through the Gospels and make a list of each miracle and the explanation that is provided. (For instance, in John 2 we read of Jesus turning water into wine. That miracle did alleviate a potential embarrassment for the host and it did appease His mother who asked Him to get involved, but the primary result is recorded in verse 11: “What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.”) Sometimes the purpose of a miracle is given directly, and sometimes it is recorded in the response of those who saw it. Jesus never performed miracles for the sake of putting on a show. Every miracle pointed to a greater truth. John especially emphasized this point by referring to Jesus’ miracles as “signs.”

The feeding of the 5,000 is just one example. John 6 begins by saying that people were following Jesus because they saw the signs. One would think this is a good thing. Jesus goes on to feed the multitude, over 5,000 men plus women and children, with just five loaves and two fish. Then, He slipped away in the night.

The next morning, the people went looking for Him. Jesus, however, is not impressed and confronts their selfish motives for seeking Him: “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill” (John 6:26). There is some irony here. They were seeking Jesus because they had a free meal as the result of a miracle. No doubt they thought that this was a pretty good arrangement. If Jesus would continue to feed them, all would be well. Jesus, however, says that they did not truly see the “sign.” They saw the miracle, yet they could not see past the loaves and fish. The “sign” Jesus performed signifies something greater. Although the multitudes saw and partook of the miracle, they missed the sign that was to point them to Jesus, the Bread of Life. Throughout the ministry of Jesus, many people saw His miracles as ends in themselves rather than pointing to something greater.

Many people desire miracles from God. They want God to perform miracles to “prove” Himself to them. “If only God would perform a miracle, sign, or wonder, then I would believe!” This idea, though, is contradicted by Scripture. When God performed amazing and powerful miracles for the Israelites, did that cause them to obey Him? No, the Israelites constantly disobeyed and rebelled against God even though they saw all the miracles. The same people who saw God part the Red Sea later doubted whether God was able to conquer the inhabitants of the Promised Land. This truth is explained in Luke 16:19-31. In the story, a man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brothers. Abraham informed the man, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead” (Luke 16:31).

Jesus performed countless miracles, yet the vast majority of people did not believe in Him. If God performed miracles today as He did in the past, the result would be the same. People would be amazed and would believe in God for a short time. That faith would be shallow and would disappear the moment something unexpected or frightening occurred. A faith based on miracles is not a mature faith. God performed the greatest “God miracle” of all time in coming to earth as the Man Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins (Romans 5:8) so that we could be saved (John 3:16). God does still perform miracles—many of them simply go unnoticed or are denied. However, we do not need more miracles. What we need is to believe in the miracle of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

The purpose of miracles was to authenticate the performer of the miracles. Acts 2:22 declares, “Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.” The same is said of the apostles, “The things that mark an apostle—signs, wonders and miracles—were done among you with great perseverance” (2 Corinthians 12:12). Speaking of the gospel, Hebrews 2:4 proclaims, “God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.” We now have the truth of Jesus recorded in Scripture. We now have the writings of the apostles recorded in Scripture. Jesus and His apostles, as recorded in Scripture, are the cornerstone and foundation of our faith (Ephesians 2:20). In this sense, miracles are no longer necessary, as the message of Jesus and His apostles has already been attested to and accurately recorded in the Scriptures. Yes, God still performs miracles. At the same time, we should not necessarily expect miracles to occur today just as they did in Bible times.

Another story baby left in a hot car on a summer day how many children must die before we get enough Sense to know that Leaving babies in hot cars is deadly.

Crime has gone up more than 30%, yet people crying defund the police.

Common Sense does not seem to be that common in today's world, and we have people suing fast-food restaurants for serving hot coffee.

Do they not realize that typically coffee is hot?

Even if they make coffee at home, it will be hot. Where is Common Sense?

There are warning labels on hair dryers that say do not submerge them in the water. I do not know about you, but I know that electricity and water do not mix.

Knives that come in boxes warn us that the blade is sharp. I do not know too many knives that are not sharp or razor blades that may not.

It appears that some people do not seem to understand that common Sense has taken a backseat to idiotic Behavior.

You know this idiotic Behavior is also coming from elected leaders. This is real American.

You got people that want to sue people for using the n-word. What is the N-word is no different from any other racial slur, be as a racial slur towards a white person, Asian person, Hispanic person, or Jewish person it is all racism.

All racist comments should be treated equally, not just the n-word because it is based on a Black and white Society.

This nation is not just a nation made up of Black and white people.

This nation has lost its common sense and has taken a backseat to idiotic I do not get it; I believe that clear thinking has left the building.

Many have given up on clear thinking, perhaps because of fear of losing their power or jobs.

if we dig deeper into the word of God word, we can learn from proverbs wisdom discretion is and what is needed most in the world.

That brings life and Grace if we will put what is clear thinking life of benefit, we need to focus on doing things that make sense and that start from the president down to all individuals.

We all need just to practice clear thinking, and it would be beneficial to us all if we just focus on doing things that make sense and think before we speak it, and before we act, we need to make and use common Sense again.

I pray that we can do that sooner than later.

In Proverbs 8:5 some translations speak of the need to develop "common sense," which other translations simply call "prudence" or "discretion." Common Sense is sound judgment in practical matters. Biblically, common Sense can be thought of as a combination of wisdom and discretion (Proverbs 3:21; 8:12–14). Wisdom knows what to do; discretion knows when and where to do it.

Part of being a fool is having no common sense or being "void of understanding," as the KJV puts it (Proverbs 7:7; 24:30).

The book of Proverbs proclaims the benefits of gaining wisdom and also shows the folly of being a fool (Proverbs 13:16; 16:22; 26:11).

Proverbs 3:13–14 says, "Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold." Wisdom allows us to see life the way God does. When we seek God's perspective, we can make decisions based upon their eternal significance rather than selfish interest.

When we choose to make decisions based on wisdom alone, we are exercising Common Sense.

The desire for instant gratification is the enemy of common Sense. Many people have become ensnared in trouble and heartache because they rejected a wise path and sought instead immediate satisfaction.

Common Sense is often developed by learning from the consequences of such poor choices—the school of hard knocks educates many.

Everyone makes bad decisions at some point. The difference between the wise and the foolish is that one learns from his mistakes and the other keeps repeating them. Some people seem born with a more level head, while others learn from experience, either way, wisdom and common Sense should be continually pursued in order to experience the best God has for us (Proverbs 2:1–8).

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

Freedom as we know it is under attack, be it freedom of speech or Christian liberties and so much more. Please wake up American citizens. If up do not stand up for something, you will fall for anything. Take time to research your constitutional rights. Did you know that the 4th amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Through the Fourth Amendment, the Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. However, the Fourth Amendment is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law.

Or the 8th amendment protects against Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. I would encourage you to search the laws of each state and the constitutional laws as well; it is your choice, your freedom.

Webster’s dictionary defines freedom of speech as “the right to express facts and opinions subject only to reasonable limitations (as the power of the government to protect itself from a clear and present danger) guaranteed by the 1st and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution and similar provisions of some state constitutions.” According to this definition, freedom of speech is a right given to the citizens of the United States by law. In that sense, freedom of speech is not a biblical concept but a political one specific to a particular time and place in history.

The founders of the United States believed that humankind has certain “inalienable rights,” including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson spoke of these rights as having been endowed to man by his Creator; he called the right to liberty “inherent” and postulated that governments are instituted in order to allow man (the governed) to secure those rights and to pursue his rights freely.

In Jefferson's mind, the liberty and consent of the governed were imperative for governments to be efficient and beneficial. Under that umbrella of privilege falls freedom of speech.

The idea that the Creator has endowed us with the right to liberty is debatable, but God indeed created man with a free will. Adam and Eve had the liberty to partake of any fruit in the garden (except one), and they even had the liberty to disobey. God created man to serve Him, to know Him, and to enjoy Him forever in eternity, so liberty within the bounds of righteousness is certainly a biblical ideal. Christians believe that serving God and enjoying a relationship with Him is the ultimate liberty. The ultimate freedom is found in belonging to Christ (Galatians 5:1; 2 Corinthians 3:17). Sin brings bondage (Romans 7:14), but the one who belongs to Christ is spiritually free (Romans 8:2).

But does that spiritual freedom from sin entail political freedom of speech? Perhaps not directly, but speaking the truth in love is a biblical mandate (Ephesians 4:15). Therefore, any government law that guarantees citizens the right to speak the truth aligns with godly principles. By the same token, any law that suppresses a person’s right to speak truth is working against God’s command. Freedom of speech does not guarantee that truth is told, of course, but it does permit it to be told. In the final analysis, there is no conflict between biblical principles and the civic principle of freedom of speech. The Bible states emphatically in Galatians 5:1 that believers are free in Christ: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1).

Before Jesus died on a cross, God’s people lived under a detailed system of laws that served as a moral compass to guide their lives. The Law, while powerless to grant salvation or produce true freedom, nevertheless pointed the way to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:19–24). Through His sacrificial death, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, setting believers free from the law of sin and death. God’s laws are now written in our hearts through the Spirit of God, and we are free to follow and serve Christ in ways that please and glorify Him (Romans 8:2–8). In a nutshell, this is the definition of Christian freedom.

Despite the First Amendment, in the United States today, Christians do not have total freedom of speech. There are things we believe, ideas clearly taught in the Scriptures, that are now considered “hate speech” in our world of political correctness. A society that proudly proclaims freedom of speech and then creates laws against hate speech is talking out of both sides of its mouth. Laws and governments aside, there are still what we might call “social laws” in place, and when Christians are faced with ostracization due to their beliefs, it certainly does not demonstrate freedom of speech. Many believers throughout history have been persecuted by their societies because the expression of their beliefs did not line up with the status quo. A notable example is Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whose refusal to bow down to the king’s idol landed them in the midst of a fiery furnace (Daniel 3:1–26).

God wants us to obey Him and to speak according to His Word. If obedience to that principle makes people hate us or gets us thrown in jail or even killed, we are not to back down. God wants us to speak the truth boldly (Ephesians 6:20), but He never promises that we will always be free to speak without consequences. So are you willing to stand up?

As Christians, the two things we can do to stand up for Christ are to live according to His Word and grow our own knowledge of Him. Christ said, “Let your light shine before men…” (Matthew 5:16). This means that we should live and act in a way that supports the gospel. We should also arm ourselves with knowledge, both of the gospel (Ephesians 6:10-17) and of the world around us. First Peter 3:15 says, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” All we can do is live and teach as Christ would and let Him take care of the rest.

Again I encourage you to do your own research.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, I humble myself before You, Your will not mine be done. Forgive me for being selfish and deliver me from insisting on my own way at the expense of others. I will mediate on your Word day and night. By the grace of God I will be an obedient doer of your Word, seeking to love as You have loved me. I renew my mind to your Word, and pray that your Word will dominate my thoughts, words and actions. I submit to Truth so that I will not be seduced or deceived by the works of the devil. I am born of God, I am born of Love and by Your grace I am strong in you, Lord, and in the power of your might. Today, I choose the way of Love, in the name of Jesus!

STRESS THE SILENT KILLER

We are going into the third year of this pandemic, and this has been a very stressful time. Many of us had to deal mentally and financially with many hardships, and we have our political leaders invoking fear of this pandemic. I have been highly stressed doing this pandemic coping with my medical issues, and just dealing with the health and welfare of my family stress is also known as the silent killer.

Stress is a reaction of the body due to any change leading to physical, mental, or emotional tension. It may arise from any occurrence that leads to frustrations, anger, and nervousness. The body's reaction to these feelings is stress.

Stress may bring a positive or negative effect, depending on how it is handled. Stress response may be beneficial in protecting the body. However, stress has harmful effects, becoming a severe chronic condition if not well managed.

I honestly believe that our political leaders have placed a lot of stress upon the American people. I read that Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation among adolescents ages 11 through 18, which is pretty horrifying. In a lot of this came from not having social interaction with their peers.

It had been said that the COVID-19 pandemic increased its suicide depression anxiety in many other health issues that were not COVID related. I'm sure that perhaps this number went down, at least according to the CDC. I am not sure because numbers can be manipulated just as numbers have been conducted about the number of COVID deaths, including the alleged number of people hospitalized.

We even had one of the Supreme Court Justice make a false statement about the impact COVID-19 had on children, and this is the highest in America; what type of an example it's being set here.

Well, at least the Supreme Court struck down the vaccine mandate coodles. Thank you for doing this.

We all make mistakes, and perhaps this was just an honest mistake. I genuinely don't know because the media doesn't always get it right.

With some much false news, incorrect news, or whatever terminology you want to use, this can lead to a lot of stress within our American system. I think that's why I try not to watch the news.

I wonder whether our leaders realize the stress they have placed upon the American people who elected them. Let's see what God's word says about stress.

Question: "What does the Bible say about stress?"

Answer: The dictionary defines stress as "physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension." Some stress is necessary and even reasonable—such as the physical strain we put on our muscles to make them stronger. But when we talk about "stress," we usually refer to excessive or damaging mental or emotional strain or tension. While "stress" is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, Scripture does speak to things such as anxiety, worry, and trouble—things we often associate with stress—and gives us clear answers on how we should deal with them.

Everyone suffers from stress at one time or another. How we naturally deal with it depends in large part on who we are. For some, emotional stress causes physical illness. Others might become hyper-productive. On the other hand, some people under stress shut down mentally and emotionally. And, of course, there are a variety of other responses. Stress is a common human experience, particularly in a world where the demands for our time and attention seem to be unending. Our jobs, health, family, friends, and even ministry activities can overwhelm us. The ultimate solution to stress is to surrender our lives to God and seek His wisdom regarding priorities as well as His enabling to do the things to which He calls us. He always gives enough, so we need not be defeated by stress.

One common cause of stress is financial. We stress over money because we never seem to feel that we have enough. We worry about being able to pay all our bills, many living paychecks to paycheck. Or we become consumed by materialism and, in turn, stressed out about maintaining our lifestyle. Some become stressed over finances because they don't trust God to provide the basic necessities of life. But Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? … And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" (Matthew 6:25, 27). It is true that we are called upon to be good stewards of money and to provide for our families (1 Timothy 5:8), but we must never forget that God is ultimately our Provider. If we are His, we need not fear that He will abandon us. On the other hand, there are those whose financial stress is caused more by materialistic greed than it is by true need. Materialism inevitably leads to stress because, when we seek the world's goods, we have fallen for the "deceitfulness of wealth" (Mark 4:19), the lie that such things relieve stress and lead to happiness, contentment, and joy. They do not.

We might also find ourselves stressed when facing hardship or trial. James 1:2–4 counsels, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." When we encounter hardship, we can succumb to stress, or we can view it as a means by which God can strengthen our faith and mold our character (Romans 5:3–5; 8:28–29). When we redirect our focus on God, we find comfort in our sorrows and strength to endure (2 Corinthians 1:3–4; 12:9–10).

No matter the type of stress in our lives, the starting point for dealing with it is Jesus Christ. Jesus offers us great encouragement in John 14:1: "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." We desperately need Him in our lives. We need Him because He is the only one who can give us the strength to cope with the troubles in our lives. Believing in Him does not mean that we will have a trouble-free life or that we will not feel overcome by stress in our lives. It simply means that a life without Jesus Christ makes coping with stress an impossible and often debilitating task.

Believing leads to trusting. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to "trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Leaning on "our own understanding" often means adopting the world's ways of relieving stress—things like alcohol or drugs or mindless entertainment. Instead, we are to trust His Word as our ultimate guide to a stress-reduced life. David says, "I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears" (Psalm 34:4). David knew that by seeking the Lord and sharing his troubles with Him that perhaps he would find favor with Him. The Lord in turn answered him and calmed him down.

Perhaps no passage in Scripture better captures how to handle stress than Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." The Lord tells us not to be anxious about anything, but rather to turn everything over to Him in prayer. Lifting our burdens and concerns to a holy and righteous God daily will mitigate or eliminate the stress in our lives. Psalm 55:22 tells us to cast all our cares on Him because He will sustain us and never fail us (see also 1 Peter 5:6–7). Jesus Christ offers peace if we come to Him with our worries and concerns. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27).

Stress of all kinds is a natural part of life (Job 5:7, 14:1; 1 Peter 4:12; 1 Corinthians 10:13). But how we deal with it is up to us. If we choose to try to do it on our own, we will not find lasting relief. The only way we can consistently and successfully deal with stress is with Jesus Christ. First, we must believe in Him. Second, we need to trust Him and obey Him. We should trust Him to do what is right because His ways are always best for us. Disobedience and sin can produce stress and cut us off from the only means of peace and joy. By obeying His commandments we reap the blessings of true contentment from a loving God. Finally, we need to seek His peace daily by filling our minds with His Word, lifting all things to Him in prayer, and sitting at His feet in awe and reverence. It is only by His grace, mercy, and love that the stress in our lives can be managed.

“For patients who screen positive for suicide ideation and deny or minimize suicide risk or decline treatment, obtain corroborating information by requesting the patient's permission to contact

Many Colorado professionals have the legal authority to place mental health “holds” on the citizens of Colorado. This deprivation of one’s freedom is nothing less than the equivalent of an arrest.

You can call it whatever you want, but the right of hospital room emergency rooms, for example, to take someone into custody on a 72-hour “hold” can be, and is being abused in Colorado.

The procedure leading to the seizure is very loose, ill-defined, and dangerous.

Galatians 6:2 states, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (emphasis added). What exactly is the law of Christ, and how is it fulfilled by carrying each other’s burdens? While the law of Christ is also mentioned in 1 Corinthians 9:21, the Bible nowhere specifically defines what precisely is the law of Christ. However, most Bible teachers understand the law of Christ to be what Christ stated were the greatest commandments in Mark 12:28–31, “‘Which commandment is the most important of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The most important is, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.’”

The law of Christ, then, is to love God with all of our being and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. In Mark 12:32–33, the scribe who asked Jesus the question responds with, “To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” In this, Jesus and the scribe agreed that those two commands are the core of the entire Old Testament Law. All of the Old Testament Law can be placed in the category of “loving God” or “loving your neighbor.”

Various New Testament scriptures state that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament Law, bringing it to completion and conclusion (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23–25; Ephesians 2:15). In place of the Old Testament Law, Christians are to obey the law of Christ. Rather than trying to remember the over 600 individual commandments in the Old Testament Law, Christians are simply to focus on loving God and loving others. If Christians would truly and wholeheartedly obey those two commands, we would be fulfilling everything that God requires of us.

Christ freed us from the bondage of the hundreds of commands in the Old Testament Law and instead calls on us to love. First John 4:7–8 declares, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” First John 5:3 continues, “This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.”

Some use the fact that we are not under the Old Testament Law as an excuse to sin. The apostle Paul addresses this very issue in Romans. “What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!” (Romans 6:15). For the follower of Christ, the avoidance of sin is to be accomplished out of love for God and love for others. Love is to be our motivation. When we recognize the value of Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf, our response is to be love, gratitude, and obedience. When we understand the sacrifice Jesus made for us and others, our response is to be to follow His example in expressing love to others. Our motivation for overcoming sin should be love, not a desire to legalistically obey a series of commandments. We are to obey the law of Christ because we love Him, not so that we can check off a list of commands that we successfully obeyed.

Do Christians have to obey the laws of the land?

Romans 13:1-7 states, “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

This passage makes it abundantly clear that we are to obey the government God places over us. God created government to establish order, punish evil, and promote justice (Genesis 9:6; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Romans 12:8). We are to obey the government in everything—paying taxes, obeying rules and laws, and showing respect. If we do not, we are ultimately showing disrespect towards God, for He is the One who placed that government over us. When the apostle Paul wrote to the Romans, he was under the government of Rome during the reign of Nero, perhaps the most evil of all the Roman emperors. Paul still recognized the Roman government’s rule over him. How can we do any less?

The next question is “Is there a time when we should intentionally disobey the laws of the land?” The answer to that question may be found in Acts 5:27-29, “Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this Name,' he said. 'Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.' Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than men!'“ From this, it is clear that as long as the law of the land does not contradict the law of God, we are bound to obey the law of the land. As soon as the law of the land contradicts God’s command, we are to disobey the law of the land and obey God’s law. However, even in that instance, we are to accept the government’s authority over us. This is demonstrated by the fact that Peter and John did not protest being flogged, but instead rejoiced that they suffered for obeying God (Acts 5:40-42).

After the election of Joe Biden, why put yourself through the misery of reading and watching what was about to unfold — and indeed has unfolded;

A Political Pandemic You cannot live in denial of what surrounds you. You cannot ignore what has been occurring these past days, nor erase the four years leading up to them. You cannot ignore what seems surreal but is all too real: the social strife unlike any other period of conflict in American history.

What is totalitarianism?

Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life. Totalitarianism is characterized by a dictator or one-party rule, censorship of media, intimidation of the populace, propaganda in media and education, secret police forces, prohibition of all criticism of the government, and the repression of freedom of religion. Examples of totalitarian regimes are Germany under the Nazis, the Soviet Union under Stalin, China under Mao Zedong, and North Korea since 1948.

Historically, Christianity has flourished under totalitarian regimes. The book of Acts recounts the persecution of the Christians under Roman rule—including Nero's reign—and the resulting spread of the gospel. After the stoning of Stephen, believers were forced to flee from those who wanted to put them to death. "On that day, a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria" (Acts 8:1). It appears from Acts 9:31 that this persecution backfired and worked toward the further spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Christian’s today is no less persecuted in some parts of the world where totalitarianism rules. Citing a Pew Research survey, Bishop John McAreavey, chair of the Council for Justice and Peace of the Irish Catholic Bishop's Conference, stated that Christian persecution is being gravely underestimated, as "Christianity is now the world's most oppressed religious group, with persecution against them reported in 110 countries" (The Christian Post, May 19, 2015). According to the International Society for Human Rights, a non-religious organization, 80 percent of all acts of religious discrimination in the world today are directed against Christians, most occurring in North Korea, where a militant, atheistic dictatorship holds power, and the Middle East, where Islamic totalitarianism is on the rise.

As in the early church, God's sovereign control ensures that the gospel will be preached "in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). No dictator or totalitarian government can prevent the spread of God's message throughout the world. They can oppress people, but they cannot suppress Truth. God's plan for salvation will not be thwarted. Jesus will build His church (Matthew 16:18). Totalitarianism is just another futile effort by the forces of evil to impede the Lord's work.

Self-hatred, to varying degrees, is not uncommon, but hating oneself is not what God would have for us. The world would tell us that the solution to self-hatred is self-love. It offers various ways to conjure up this love and acceptance for self. While some are healthy practices, none are permanent solutions that speak to the depths of the needs of our souls. The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that the solution to self-hatred is having an accurate view of God and of oneself in light of who God is.

First, let’s understand what causes self-hatred. Some may arrive at self-hatred because they consider themselves losers who lack certain talents or resources (intelligence, personal connections, money, and influence). Anyone who accepts the idealized standards of beauty, success, and power as portrayed in the mass media—and fails to live up to those standards—may arrive at the unreasonable conclusion that he or she is not worthy of love and begin to sink into self-hatred. People may hate themselves because of the things they have done in their pasts, or they might hate themselves because of things with which they are currently struggling, like addiction or unhealthy relationships. In short, self-hatred results from not living up to standards either we or others have set for acceptability. In our recognition that we cannot be perfect, we may descend into self-hatred.

Biblically speaking, we know we are sinners who are separated from God (Romans 3:23; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1–5). There is a standard that we will have failed to live up to and will never be able to live up to on our own (Romans 3:20). Apart from God, we are without hope. But this is not cause to hate ourselves. Rather, it is cause to turn to God and to rely on His grace. He has made a way of salvation! God created humanity in His image (Genesis 1:27). He loves us, and we reflect Him. Though sin marred this image, God did not abandon us. Instead, He sent His Son, Jesus, who, though remaining fully God, took on human flesh. Jesus lived a perfect life. He then died to pay the penalty for our sin, and He rose again to prove His victory over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:3–7; Romans 5:6–11; Philippians 2:5–11). All who put their faith in Him are saved (John 3:16–18; Romans 10:9). This is cause for great rejoicing! When we become a redeemed child of God, there is no reason to hate ourselves.

If you have not been reconciled with God and brought into personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, that is the first step in overcoming self-hatred. But we know that even those who have trusted Jesus as their Savior can struggle with hatred of self. What is the solution for that? Having a biblical view of who God is and who you are. Romans 12:1–2 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Committing our lives to God in action and thought—having a renewed and transformed mind and living our lives for God—is how we overcome self-hatred.

What are some of the things the Bible says about who God is? God is holy, just, gracious, merciful, and compassionate (1 Peter 1:16; Psalm 103:8–12; Hebrews 6:10; Colossians 3:25; Nehemiah 9:31). He is the Creator, all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present. God is unchanging (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:5). God’s ways are above ours, and His Word accomplishes what He intends (Isaiah 55:8–11). God’s promises are true. God is love, and He loves you (1 John 4:7–10). Self-hatred is simply not compatible with this truth.

It has been quipped that “God made you on purpose and for a purpose.” Your life has meaning. God gives us many instructions in His Word about His will for our lives and how we are to live. Things like regularly studying the Bible and coming to God in prayer help us understand who God is and His heart for us. Our love for God and our trust in Him grows. Consequently, self-hatred wanes.

When we obey God’s Word, we orient our lives to truth. This will naturally result in focusing less on ourselves, the world’s perceptions, and our own false idols. It will also result in our more often saying no to sin—which is important because sin is a primary cause of self-hatred. When we do sin, the Bible tells us that we can come to God and receive forgiveness and mercy (1 John 1:9; Hebrews 4:14–16). It assures us that sin has been defeated and that we need no longer live in it or in hatred of ourselves over it. We can hate the sin within us, but we do not hate ourselves because in Jesus Christ there is no condemnation and nothing that can separate us from God’s love (Romans 7—8). When our minds and lives are steeped in truth, there is no room for self-hatred.

Doing things like actively loving others in our words and deeds, as God calls us to, helps us have an accurate view of ourselves. Serving others can actually contribute to our own well-being and thus remove opportunity for self-hatred to arise. Spending time regularly with other believers and exercising our spiritual gifts within the body of Christ also helps us have a better view of God and of self. Fellow believers are our family, and they can help us reject notions of self-hatred. Obeying God, both in loving Him and in loving others, is life-giving (see John 15:1–11).

The solution to self-hatred is so much deeper than mere worldly self-love. A person who knows and trusts God derives his or her worth from God. That worth is unchanging. The words of Ephesians 1:3–14 are true of anyone who has been born again in Jesus Christ. We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (verse 3), so self-hatred due to perceived lack of ability is unfounded. We have been chosen to be holy and blameless in His sight (verse 4), redeemed (verse 7), and forgiven (verse 7); we need not hate ourselves due to guilt over past sin. We have been predestined for adoption as sons (verse 5) and marked with the seal of the indwelling Holy Spirit (verses 13–14); we are not alone. God “lavished” “the riches” of His grace on us (verses 7–8). God’s love for us “surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:17–19). When we understand this type of acceptance and position in God, there is simply no room for self-hate.

Willie is using an AI voice to continue this podcast because it is long.

We live in a mean old world got politicians that advocate racism. We have talk show hosts that continue to add fuel to the fire of racism.

We have our military that is being destroyed from higher up being forced out because they refused to take a COVID vaccine shot that is incredibly sad at how our defense is being weakened by leaders.

we live in a mean, mean old world yes, meanness it is all around us be it in elementary schools, high schools’ colleges an as well within the political world.

instead of our politicians coming together, they act like little children at play, very infantile, very childish. Instead of them trying to pull this nation together, this nation it is divided it has started from the top down. I will continue to pray for my nation, but this is the will of God.

No, I am not going to preteen that I am not against same-sex attraction, racism I am against anti-American groups, I am against prejudice, I am against child trafficking, yes, I am against a lot of. I will continue to pray then this world will wake up.

God would like all men to come to him through his loving son Jesus Christ. We must repent, and God knows America, this nation needs to repent and surrender unto Christ. We live in a mean old world as a Christian.

I am going to stand firm in my faith, I am not afraid I am not ashamed of the gospel I am not ashamed to profess Christ as my Lord and savior. I am going to stand firm I am going to be steadfast and be unmovable now what does this mean.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:58, ESV). This verse concludes a chapter that details the future resurrection of our earthly bodies. Paul encouraged the Corinthian church to remain faithful to everything he had taught them.

When we see the word therefore in Scripture, we should always back up to see why it is there: what is the "therefore" there for? The word usually indicates a summation of what was previously stated. In this case, Paul addresses those who had fallen away from his original teaching on the resurrection. They were embracing heresy and introducing destructive ideas contrary to the gospel. That is what is going on in this world right here in now.

Paul restates the truth of Jesus' death for sin and bodily resurrection and then exhorts them to remain firm in that teaching. And we as Christians need to stand firm in a Christian in the teaching of Christ.

Yes, we live in a mean old world it is no doubt about that. And I am not going to lie Satan is using uh leaders as his minions to destroy America.

to be steadfast and unmovable is to be spiritually grounded. A steadfast person knows what he believes and cannot be "tossed back and forth by the waves and blown here and there by every wind of teaching" (Ephesians 4:14) and what is going on right now in America will I be taught being taught that bad is good and being right is wrong.

An unmovable person can hear false teaching, engage doubters, and defend truth without it shaking his own faith. In his other epistle to Corinth, Paul expresses his concern for this church: "I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3)I do believe we as American citizens we're being led astray from the word of God.

Even believers who had been personally taught by the apostle Paul were victims of deception. How much more vulnerable are we in today's society. So yes, I am going to stand firm in my face I am going to main steadfast unmovable, and I am going to continue two live in God's word then I am going to continue dig deeper and deeper into God's word.

To remain steadfast and unmovable we must know the Word of God. Second Timothy 2:15 says, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately managing the word of truth" (NASB). To accurately manage the word of truth, we must not only read the Bible, but we must allow it to become part of us.

The Bible the true living breathing word of God Its truth should so penetrate our minds and hearts that it shapes our thinking and our actions. It should so fill our minds that we can detect error when we hear it.and we should not be afraid to correct that error when we hear it.

Satan uses Scripture for his own purposes, twisting it to sound as though it says something it does not say (Luke 4:9–11). If we have not been diligent in our study and meditation on truth, we are vulnerable to error. The false religions of the world can be persuasive when they quote Bible verses to support their error. yes, we have had presidents that have done this try to quote Bible verses to support their failure in their errors. Even Christians can be duped by smooth-sounding heresy if they do not have a solid grounding in the "whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). It is God's desire that we grow daily in our understanding of Him and His Word so that we will remain faithful to the end (John 8:31; 2 Peter 1:2; 3:18; 1 John 2:24).

It doesn't matter well your pastor elder a churchgoing member we can all be tricked but tricks other enemy and I'm going to do my best to stand firm in God's word I'm going to pray for our leaders I'm going to pray for the Christians I'm going to pray for believers and non-believers yes this is going to be an empty podcast but I'm not ashamed of the gospel we live in a mean old world.

Don't do as I do but do as I say do that sound familiar, we are living in troubled times; however, we still must hold to our faith in God. We still have leaders that are flat-out hypocritical people walking around without mask to Florida ex-presidents party in without mask at a birthday party.

The list goes on elected leaders put fear into the hearts of the American people in 2021 by using covid as the tool to place this fear.

I would like to share the following scripture from Isaiah 41:10; “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.”

Did you know that the bible tells us to not fear 365 different times? That is once for every day of the year! God makes it clear in scriptures like Isaiah 41:10 that he wants us to choose faith over fear every single day of our lives. He wants us to trust that He will provide for our every need.

You might ask, how do I have faith? I believe that faith is when we choose to stand on the promises of God even when we begin to feel insecurity or doubt. I believe that faith is like a muscle, and every time you choose to believe the word of God, it is an opportunity to exercise that muscle.

Sometimes God allows situations to arise in our lives that force us to trust him. Such as what we have been dealing with over the past 2 years now going into the 3rd year. Yes, we are faced with a difficult decision or circumstance as we welcome a new year, I want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God.

God is promising us in his word that He will reward our faith. I want to challenge you to think about the areas of your life where God is asking you to take a step of faith and trust him.

Wake up, America. Let us be not afraid and reclaim our American spirit. We had Marine Corps has kicked out 206 troops for refusing to get COVID vaccine: At least 95% of active-duty soldiers have had the shot and DOJ has 'ignored' 3,247 requests for religious accommodation so a soldier no longer has religious rights what they may have believed to be their rights under the constitution Relationship to statutory or constitutional rights.

The order must not conflict with the statutory or constitutional rights of the person receiving the order. Only lawful orders must be followed. This is what the Manual for Courts-Martial says about the lawfulness of orders: discharging these military personnel is weakened or military defense. Some of the nation's soldiers facing discharge claim they are being crushed by President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate and say it's pushing out the military's best and brightest even if they are given an honorable discharge, they are still being forced out.

You got people talking about following the science but not doing it themselves. Fauci Can't Use Science to Excuse His Missteps. science is defined as "the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena." Science is a method that humankind can use to better understand the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian's belief in science should never be like our belief in God.

A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not. I'm not trying to belittle anyone I'm praying that believers and non-believers wake up to this fear that has been created.

Yes, covid is real, but we need not live in fear or be forced to do something that goes against God or our beliefs. Controlling people do not have anyone's best interest in mind except their own (see Philippians 2:3). They are concerned primarily with pleasing themselves.

Many of the Old Testament kings were controlling people. They had power, and they used it to their own advantage, often at the expense of the people they ruled. Queen Jezebel was a controlling person who used her power to get what she wanted. Her husband's method of controlling people was pouting and throwing a fit (1 Kings 21:1–4).

Our belief in science should be intellectual and nothing more. We can count on science to do many great things, but we can also count on science to make mistakes. If we put faith in science, we depend on imperfect, sinful, limited, mortal men.

Science throughout history has been wrong about many things, such as the shape of the earth, powered flight, vaccines, blood transfusions, and even reproduction. God is never wrong.

The words “one day at a time,” it's message must not be lost with familiarity. The message is that we are called to live today and not worry or fret about tomorrow. While we can certainly make plans, we should always keep in mind those plans should always be ready to be molded to the will of the Lord.

Let's make this a year of victory. One day at a time!

In closing Lessons From Life Perhaps God had chosen me in my time to detail what I learned from all the madness about.

I learned that often the false is made to look appealing. I learned that witnesses today may be testifiers tomorrow. I learned that one must be careful in helping others. I learned that you do not proclaim another man's evil. I learned that mediocrity within yourself is unacceptable. I learned that the more one says the less he is heard. I learned that one does not argue with an arguer. I learned that anonymity can be valuable. I learned that there is safety in moving with the crowd. I learned that not all praise is meant well. I learned that secrets should neither be heard nor spoken. I learned that you do not divulge what you cannot reverse. I learned that all has its day.

We need God and Jesus back into this Nation whether you believe it or not

The final week of 2021!

As we enter the year of 2022, it seems almost unbelievable that we will soon be entering the third year of the Global Pandemic. It would be great to just move beyond it, but it seems it's still a reality that we must face.

We have often said that we don't know what tomorrow holds, but we DO know who holds tomorrow! Jesus Christ!

Just look at the headline’s political violence, mass shooting, family member killing, hypocrisy among high-ranking leaders, Critics slam 'hypocrite' Biden for claiming 'no federal solution' to pandemic after vow to 'shut down' COVID.

A quick note.

The shootings never stopped during the coronavirus pandemic, they just became less public, researchers say.

Here is an incomplete list of shootings with multiple victims in 2021. It leaves out many more but offers a small glimpse of the gun violence the country has already suffered this year. People kill people with guns.

Nov. 30: Clayton County, Ga., and Oakland County, Mich.

Four people were killed after a gunman opened fire at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit, Mich., in what became the deadliest shooting on school property in the United States this year.

Hours later, a police officer and two women were shot and killed during a domestic violence episode in the metropolitan Atlanta area, the police said. The shooter was also killed.

Nov. 28: Lancaster, Calif.

A 29-year-old father was accused of fatally shooting his four children — ages 1, 2, 7 and 11 — and his mother-in-law inside the family’s home. He was arrested and charged with five counts of murder and three counts of assault on a child causing death.

Nov. 14: Tucson, Ariz.

Four people — two sets of brothers, related as cousins — were killed when a party ended in gunshots. No one has been charged in the deaths.

Why are people putting trust in Fauci¸? We need to put our trust in God, not man. Did you know that Dr. Anthony Fauci's $417,608 Tops All Federal Salaries, but Does Performance Match the Pay? I think not. Should we get more than one Medical Doctor's opinion and not someone working for the government, just asking. What does the Bible say about not putting your trust in man?

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- the LORD, who remains faithful forever. Psalm 146

The Bible on Trust

The words translated "trust" in the Bible mean "a bold, confident, sure security or action based on that security." Trust is not the same as faith, which is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead, trusting is what we do because of the faith we have been given. Trusting is believing in the promises of God in all circumstances, even in those where the evidence seems to be to the contrary. Hebrews 11 talks about faith, which is accepting and believing the truth that God reveals about Himself, supremely in the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the practical consequence of faith in God is trust, which we prove by living out our full acceptance of God's promises day by day. Furthermore, it is by this trust that we are promised peace: "You will keep in peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you" (Isaiah 26:3).

The classic verse regarding trust is Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." This verse sums up the Bible's teaching on trust. First, it is the Lord in whom we are to trust, not ourselves or our plans, and indeed not the world's wisdom and devices. We trust in the Lord because He and He alone is truly trustworthy. His Word is trustworthy (Psalm 93:5; 111:7; Titus 1:9), His nature is faithful and true (Deuteronomy 7:9; Psalm 25:10; 145:13; 146:6), and His plans for us are perfect and purposeful (Isaiah 46:10; Jeremiah 29:11).

Further, because of God's nature, we are to trust Him with all our hearts, committing every aspect of our lives to Him in complete confidence. Finally, we are not to trust in ourselves because our understanding is temporal, finite, and tainted by our sinful natures. Trusting in ourselves is like walking confidently across a rotten wooden bridge over a yawning chasm thousands of feet deep. Disaster inevitably follows.

Trust in God is a feature of many of the psalms of David. There are 39 references to trust in the Psalms alone, whether referring to trusting in God and His Word or not trusting in riches or the things of this world. Based on this trust, David finds deliverance from all the evil he encounters. Many of David's psalms describe situations when he was pursued by Saul and his army, as well as his other enemies, and always did the Lord come to his aid. One thing that can be noted about biblical trust is that it always engenders further confidence in our God. The man of God never stops trusting in God altogether. His faith may be knocked, He may stumble, or He may fall into the foulest of sins, but "though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand" (Psalm 37:24). The man of God knows that, though trials will beset in this life, his trust will not waiver because that trust is based on faith in the promises of God: the promise of eternal joy with the Lord and the guarantee of an inheritance that "can never perish, spoil and fade" (1 Peter 1:4).

The Bible on Violence

So what does the Bible say about violence? Violence is defined as "physical force exerted to violate, damage, or abuse," and sadly, violence is a part of everyday life. It's in our movies and television shows, and we live in a world where power is often established through violence. But for Christians, the way of the world is always trumped by the truth of the Word.

First of all, violence in mind is just as hurtful as violence by the hands. Leviticus 19:17 says, "Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt." When we know someone is in sin, is it more loving to keep it quiet and build up hate and resentment towards them? God says that we should speak frankly, and Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:21-22 that murderous anger can lead the angry man to judgment from God as quickly as a physical blow. The violence he exhibits toward someone else can be brought back upon himself by God.

What about violence in war? Exodus 20:13 had been incorrectly translated as "do not kill," but it literally means "do not murder." God has allowed for just wars throughout the history of His people. From Abraham to Deborah to David, God's people have fought as instruments of judgment from a righteous and holy God. Romans 13:1-4 tells us to submit ourselves to government authorities and that nations have the right to bear the sword against evildoers, both foreign and domestic.

Violence occurs, but we must recognize the difference between holy judgment on sin and our own personal vendettas against those we dislike, which is the inevitable outcome of pride (Psalm 73:6). While men are more prone to accept violence (especially as cultures depict real men as those who never cry, always have a plan, and carry a gun), the wisest man of all time wrote, "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways" (Proverbs 3:31). Prayer and patience beats violence and anger on any day.

In my Closing

As we embark upon a New Year, once again, we find that we are still dealing with this Pandemic in America . But, as you know, the entire world is going through much of the same.

I don't know about you, but perhaps there was a sense of hope last year at this time that as we turned the page on 2020, this would all be behind us within a few months. But that's not the case despite man's best efforts of masks, vaccines, and mandates!

While humanity can only do what we can in our strength, I want to remind you today that God is still on the Throne regardless of where we have been or where we are going! Believers and non-believers alike

There is a wonderful verse of scripture which serves as a reminder of who God is found in Revelation 22:13 (NKJV) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

While we cannot possibly know what the future holds, we know who holds the future! We are not even gifted enough to know what tomorrow will bring to us, but as Christians, we need to rest assured that God does!

When I understand just a bit of how much God loves me, it puts my mind at ease about His plans and purposes.

This New Year will unfold as God has planned it to happen. Not one thing will take place that does not first sift through the loving hands of an almighty God.

There are many times I don't understand the ways of God, but that's not something we should concern ourselves with. We must only trust Him!

Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

Moving forward into this New Year, I want to encourage you to live your life to the glory of God. We can live in confidence and not timidity! We can live our lives in boldness and assurance because God is on the Throne!

There's a beautiful song written by Bill Gaither many years ago, and the lyrics are as powerful today (maybe more so) as when they were written:

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives, all fear is gone.

Because I know, yes I know, He holds the future.

This life is worth the living, just because He lives!

Keep God first in this New Year, and you will be amazed at the things God will do in you, through you, and for you!

Question: "What was the star of Bethlehem?"

Answer: The star of Bethlehem is associated with the birth of Christ and the visit of the magi (wise men) as recorded in Matthew 2:1–12. The text implies the star of Bethlehem appeared only to the magi in the East (most likely the area of Persia, or modern-day Iran). There is no biblical record of anyone else observing the star of Bethlehem.

The magi in the East saw something in the heavens—the star of Bethlehem—that alerted them to the fact that the Jewish Messiah was born. The magi do not call the star of Bethlehem by that name; in Matthew 2:2 they refer to it as being “his star,” since it was a sign to them that a king was born. The star prompted the magi to travel to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. This would be the logical place to start looking for the birth of the King of the Jews for someone who did not know of Micah’s prophecy about Bethlehem.

In Jerusalem, the Magi visited King Herod and were told that the new king they were looking for would be born in Bethlehem, not in Jerusalem (Matthew 2:5). The wise men left Herod’s palace, and the star of Bethlehem appeared to them once again. In fact, the star “went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed” (verses 9–10). The star of Bethlehem, apparently mobile, led the magi to the precise place where they could find Jesus.

Modern portrayals of the Christmas nativity scene usually show the wise men visiting Jesus on the night of His birth. That is likely not what truly occurred. King Herod discovered from the magi the “exact time” the star of Bethlehem had first appeared to them (Matthew 2:7), and he later ordered all male children two years old and under in Bethlehem to be killed (verse 16). Herod obviously thought the star of Bethlehem had first appeared when Christ was born; if he was right, then Jesus could have been up to two years old when the star of Bethlehem later guided the magi through the streets of Bethlehem. The Greek word translated “young child” in Matthew 2:9 can mean anything from a newborn infant to a toddler.

So, the magi may have first observed the star of Bethlehem the night of Jesus’ birth, or they may have first seen it up to two years beforehand. Either way, they found Jesus still in Bethlehem when they arrived. Joseph and Mary almost surely stayed in Bethlehem until Mary could travel again. In fact, they probably stayed there for the 40 days necessary to complete Mary’s purification. From Bethlehem, they could easily make the five-mile trip to Jerusalem for the sacrifice for Mary’s purification (Luke 2:22). The fact that the magi came to a “house” (Matthew 2:11) rather than the stable makes sense because Joseph naturally would have moved his family to a more protected place as soon as possible—the morning after Jesus was born, in all probability.

After seeing the star of Bethlehem, the magi traveled to Jerusalem to look for the Messiah. The question arises, how would Persian magi know about the Jewish Messiah? Undoubtedly, they would have been exposed to the writings of the Jewish prophet Daniel, who had been the chief of the court seers in Persia. Daniel 9:24–27 is a prophecy that gives a timeline for the birth of the Messiah. Also, they may have been aware of the words of the pagan prophet Balaam (who was from the town of Pethor on the Euphrates River near Persia) in Numbers 24:17. Balaam’s prophecy specifically mentions “a star” and “a scepter” rising out of Jacob.

What exactly was the star of Bethlehem? The Greek word translated “star” in the text is the word aster, which is the normal word for a star or celestial body. The word is used 24 times in the New Testament, and most of the time it refers to a celestial body. It can be used to denote angels, as in Revelation 12:4, where aster seems to refer to the fallen angels who followed Satan’s rebellion. Basic rules of biblical interpretation state that we should take the normal sense of a word unless there is compelling evidence to suggest otherwise. In that case, the star of Bethlehem should be considered an actual heavenly body. Many Bible scholars suggest a natural explanation for the star of Bethlehem, their theories ranging from a supernova to a comet to an alignment of planets. Something in the heavens provided a brighter-than-normal light in the sky.

However, there is evidence to suggest that the star of Bethlehem was not a natural stellar phenomenon, but something unexplained by science. First, the fact that the star of Bethlehem seemed to appear only to the magi indicates that this was no ordinary star. Also, celestial bodies normally move from east to west due to the earth’s rotation, yet the star of Bethlehem led the magi from Jerusalem south to Bethlehem. Not only that, but it led them directly to the place where Joseph and Mary were staying, stopping overhead. There is no natural stellar phenomenon that can do that.

So, if the normal usage of the word star doesn’t fit the context, what does? The star of Bethlehem in Matthew 2:1–12 was likely an angel or a manifestation of the Shekinah Glory. The Shekinah, which literally means “dwelling of God,” was the visible presence of the Lord. Prior to this, the most notable appearance of the Shekinah was the pillar of cloud that led the Israelites by day and the pillar of fire that led them by night (Exodus 13:21). The Shekinah can obviously lead people to specific locations, and it was seen later in connection with Christ’s ministry (e.g., Matthew 17:5; Acts 1:9). Either an angel or the Shekinah would fit the evidence. It shouldn’t surprise us that God would use a miraculous sign to signal the advent of His Son into the world. Those with eyes to see joyfully beheld His glory.

Recommended Resources The Case for Christmas by Lee Strobel

The word shekinah does not appear in the Bible, but the concept clearly does. The Jewish rabbis coined this extra-biblical expression, a form of a Hebrew word that literally means “he caused to dwell,” signifying that it was a divine visitation of the presence or dwelling of the Lord God on this earth. The Shekinah was first evident when the Israelites set out from Succoth in their escape from Egypt. There the Lord appeared in a cloudy pillar in the day and a fiery pillar by night: “After leaving Succoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people” (Exodus 13:20–22).

In 16 days or less, December 25, 2021, will be Jesus Birthday (Christmas)

As I sit here, on 12/9/2021 I realize that God has truly blessed me with a wonderful life, he has brought me through many, surgeries more than I can count, has blessed me with a wonderful wife and children. Even with the ups and downs of this ongoing pandemic, and many trips back and forth to the VA for medical reasons, God is still faithful and continues to show his grace towards me. Yes, indeed God has blessed me with a wonderful life. I used the term wonderful life because it is true for me. Also, it is one of the most popular Christmas movies I have seen.

In this movie, George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, became quite unhappy with his life through challenging events he encountered. While he had hopes and dreams of his own, due to the death of his Father, he felt “stuck” in his hometown as he took leadership of the Savings and Loan, soon to be defunct.

As it appeared that everything had been lost due to the wrong actions of “Mr. Potter,” he was moved to the edge of despair. He wondered aloud whether the town and world would have been better off if he had not been born.

I won't share any more of the story with you in case you haven't seen the movie, but I would highly recommend it for anyone to view who may need a reminder of the value of their life!

We have all been going through challenging times over the past year or two and many months. So many people have struggled in so many ways, physically, emotionally, financially, or other ways. to be honest even those of us who know Christ have had seasons that have been something we would not have “signed up for” if we knew ahead of time what we would deal with.

Here's a beautiful article to read on the value of having a spirit of thanksgiving and how it helps us physically and emotionally! The Profound Health Benefits of Being Grateful. https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-profound-health-benefits-of-being-grateful_4127489.html?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy&rs=SHRHNZNH&

During this Christmas Season, I would encourage you to lead your loved ones in a time of appreciation for the blessings of God in your lives. I realize we just came through Thanksgiving, but I genuinely believe that thankfulness is something we should be doing daily!

Your life and the lives of your loved ones are of tremendous value! But have you ever stopped to think that God thought so much of you that He only made one of you! some of you may have heard me say if I was any more blessed there would be two of me, 😀 that is just how blessed I'm thanks be to God.

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ and the HOPE that came into a world without hope! He is still the God of Hope! It's a Wonderful Life!

A Thankful Christmas Prayer

Lord and Giver of all good things, the wise men (Matt. 2:1), traveled for miles to bring the Christ child the first Christmas presents. So may we, too, remember with thankful hearts the love that comes with each present we open. We also thank you for the love you have for each of us, and we thank you for the many gifts that you give us, especially the gift of life itself and the greatest gift of all your Son (John 3:16). Amen.

Thankful for Jesus!

Blessings in Christ

I trust all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as you enjoyed time with family and friends. I know we enjoyed our time with family as we had a fantastic meal with Turkey, ham pie, and all the "fixings."

We need to turn our attention to the "reason for the season," which is that Jesus Christ came to be born and ultimately died on the cross for our sins. But that was not the end of it! He arose from the grave so that we may have everlasting life as we ask for and receive forgiveness of sins!

Luke 2:12 – This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 16 – So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

In all of the activities and events of this Christmas season, the verses above give us a sense of the very first Christmas morning. A time of excitement, yet serenity, a time of anticipation, the realization of the most blessed Gift that could ever come to humanity, Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

John 3:16 New International Version

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We are living in a day when it seems that the word "Christmas" is constantly under attack and many acts if we as Christians are to feel somehow "guilty" when it comes to this particular time. Well, let me say in as loud a "voice" as bold as I can type… "I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL." Romans 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

I want to sincerely encourage all of you to remember to keep Christ pre-eminent (first) in all you do and say while going through your Christmas activities.

It is important to remember that this is a great chance for ministry opportunities to existing at this time of year. Many people struggle with depression and loneliness as memories of what "used to be" fill their minds yes, I can identify with this issue. And also dealing with the pandemic.

By keeping Christ first, we can be sure to reach out to those around us (yes, even those who are rude) with the true message of Christmas, and that is that Jesus Christ came to earth to seek and to save that which was lost. He came to serve, not be served!

Take time as well to be faithful to Church, as well as remember to pray and read the Word, and you will be ready in ways you never dreamed possible.

Be sure to invite a friend! Christmas is one of the best times of the year to invite someone to attend Church with you (if you are in the Franktown Colorado area come visit Trinity Lutheran Church and School). Ask the Lord to help you think of a few people right now to invite to your church so they too can hear the message of Christ at Christmas!

God, please help me!”? Are you even in my home anymore?

please keep me in your prayers thank you

This past Sunday night, I got so frustrated with my son, I thought God was not in my home anymore and that he had abandoned me, and I even commented that Satan was in-complete attack mold. But I calmed down and asked God for His forgiveness: yes, I doubted: I felt abandoned by God in my time of great need while dealing with my frustration with family.

Even during this uproar mentally, I was asking God for help but not receiving what was asked for. Does this mean that God does not care or that He is ignoring my cries for help? When we cried out for Him, asking Him to stop the pain and suffering, and the family arguments, when I went to pick up my other son from his place of work, I asked God for the forgiveness of the statement I had made in an intense argument, I began to realize that I was communicating a universal desire to avoid hurt. That is not weakness, but it is human.

I began to research God’s word: are you aware that The Bible records several testimonies of those who called out to God in a time of need and were met with silence at least for a while.

Job is the most obvious example, as in his distress, he felt as if God were nowhere to be found: “If I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him” (Job 23:8–9). The psalmists also struggled with the feeling that God was not responding to their cries: “Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” (Psalm 10:1); “How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” (Psalm 13:1); “Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?” (Psalm 44:24).

Jesus our Lord and Savior understands the mindset of not wanting to experience pain and suffering. In the Garden of Gethsemane, just before His arrest, Jesus asked His Father three times, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.

Yet not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39) (also see Matthew 26:42 and Matthew 20:22). Though He asked for the “cup” to pass, Jesus asked with the condition “if it is possible.” Jesus was in complete submission to God’s will and not His own. If His suffering was a part of God’s will, then He was willing to accept that.

When we cry out, “God, please help me,” God hears us and always responds. He may not respond in the way you or I wish, but He responds, nonetheless. Understandably, when amid the throes of pain, suffering, and grief, family disputes and more it is difficult to see the wider perspective of God’s plan, especially when we receive an answer of “no” or “not now.”

But you and I can trust in God’s sovereignty because you and I know He is good (Psalm 48:1; 95:3, 6). Even as we go through the trials, God gives grace (2 Corinthians 12:9). After Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, “an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him” (Luke 22:43).

Since God is omniscient, He is privy to details we cannot begin to understand, I know that I cannot. Psalm 147:5 says, “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” When we cry out to God, “Please help me,” He sees the heart and understands (Hebrews 4:15), and His response will always be out of love (Romans 5:8; Psalm 139:13–16).

We can submit to His authority because He is trustworthy. Remember, God broke His silence and revealed Himself to Job in an unmistakable way (Job 38:1). And I know and believe that when I picked up my son God spoke to me through him. Also, I believe that when my wife asked the Holy sprit to calm me down as she laid hands on me, she asked Holy spirit to enter into this home it did perhaps not at that given moment, but it did.

Jesus assures us that God will only give us what is good and right in Luke 11:11–13, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” The God who keeps track of every sparrow cares about the details of our lives, too (Luke 12:5–6).

Since God knows what is best for our lives, He will not say “yes” to a prayer that goes against what is best. We may not understand or agree with the why of that response, but we can trust that God does and that His actions will redound to His glory and our ultimate good (Psalm 19:7; 2 Corinthians 4:7). Through painful moments in life, we can learn Christlikeness and glorify the Lord with our words and actions even through our suffering (Job 1:22; James 1:2–8; 1 Chronicles 16:28–29).

God responds to every call for help. But whether or not that answer is the one we most desire is up to God. God works for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28) and for His glory. We can trust that He will always respond to cries for help in accordance with His good and perfect will. Even when the psalmist was searching for a seemingly absent God, he chose to live by faith: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me” (Psalm 13:5–6).

So, I will live by faith trusting in the Lord:

Lyrics from a song my mother sang:

We've come this far by faith

Leaning on the Lord

Trusting in His Holy word

He never failed me yet

Oh' Can't Turn Around

We've come this far by faith

(Repeat)

Verse

Just the other day, I heard a man say

He did not believe in God's word

But I can truly say, the Lord has made a way

He's never failed me yet

Chorus

Oh'Can't Turn Around

We've come this far by faith

Greetings in Christ!

Once again, we are coming to that special day of the year that we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas, I have often said that Christmas is every day when the Lord wakes me up in the present when he blesses my eyes to open my feet to hit the ground, my first words are Lord, I thank you for another day let thy will be done not mine.

I wanted to share a verse that we would not often associate with Christmas, but I believe it is relevant, especially in light of all we have faced over the past months and a couple of years

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

The Global Pandemic has impacted so many lives in a variety of ways. Last year at this time, there was so much division about the various opinions of how things should or should not be. It was hard to imagine things could be more divided at the time, but it seems the enemy is doing all he can to “divide and conquer.” This even includes the separation within families the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, not wanting to sit down and worship together, the enemy is on the prowl.

The verse I just shared gives such a powerful thought that Jesus came not just so that we could have life, but that it would be abundant life! Please bear with me as I speak of abundant life. We receive this abundant life the moment we accept Him as our Savior. This word “abundant” in Greek is perisson, meaning “exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more, superfluous, a quantity so abundant as to be considerably more than what one would expect or anticipate.” In short, Jesus promises us a life far better than we could ever imagine, a concept reminiscent of 1 Corinthians 2:9: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.” The apostle Paul tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, and He does it by His power, a power that is at work within us if we belong to Him (Ephesians 3:20).

Before you and I begin to have visions of lavish homes, expensive cars, worldwide cruises, and more money than we know what to do with, we need to pause and think about what Jesus teaches regarding this abundant life. The Bible tells us that wealth, prestige, position, and power in this world are not God’s priorities for us (1 Corinthians 1:26-29). In terms of economic, academic, and social status, most Christians do not come from the privileged classes. Clearly, then, abundant life does not consist of an abundance of material things. If that were the case, Jesus would have been the wealthiest of men. But just the opposite is true (Matthew 8:20).

Abundant life is eternal life, a life that begins the moment we come to Christ and receive Him as Savior and goes on throughout all eternity. The biblical definition of life — specifically eternal life — is provided by Jesus Himself: “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). This definition makes no mention of length of days, health, prosperity, family, or occupation. In fact, the only thing it does mention is knowledge of God, which is the key to a truly abundant life.

What is abundant life? First, abundance is spiritual abundance, not material. In fact, God is not overly concerned with the physical circumstances of our lives. He assures us that we need not worry about what we will eat or wear (Matthew 6:25-32; Philippians 4:19). Physical blessings may or may not be part of a God-centered life; neither our wealth nor our poverty is a sure indication of our standing with God. Solomon had all the material blessings available to a man yet found it all to be meaningless (Ecclesiastes 5:10-15). Paul, on the other hand, was content in whatever physical circumstances he found himself (Philippians 4:11-12).

Second, eternal life, the life we as Christian should be genuinely concerned with, is not determined by duration but by a relationship with God. This is why, once we are converted and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are said to have eternal life already (1 John 5:11-13), though not, of course, in its fullness. Length of life on earth is not synonymous with abundant life.

Finally, a Christian’s life revolves around “growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). This teaches us that the abundant life is a continual process of learning, practicing, and maturing, as well as failing, recovering, adjusting, enduring, and overcoming, because, in our present state, “we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror” (1 Corinthians 13:12). One day we will see God face to face, and we will know Him completely as we will be known completely (1 Corinthians 13:12). We will no longer struggle with sin and doubt. This will be the ultimately fulfilled abundant life.

Although we are naturally desirous of material things, as Christians our perspective on life must be revolutionized (Romans 12:2). Just as we become new creations when we come to Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), so must our understanding of “abundance” be transformed. True abundant life consists of an abundance of love, joy, peace, and the rest of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), not an abundance of “stuff.” It consists of life that is eternal, and, therefore, our interest is in the eternal, not the temporal. Paul admonishes us, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2-3

Perhaps we can become just a bit too focused on the things the enemy is doing and forget that the very purpose of the Lord's coming was to be a life-giver! Not only in the physical sense of living a full life but eternal life so that when we take our final breath on earth, we take our first breath in eternal bliss.

The message of Christmas is breath and life to all who believe! It is up to us to share this good news with the world, yet if we are so preoccupied with our own problems, it just will not get done!

To be completely honest If you or I am looking to the media to share the “good news,” we will find great disappointment as that will not happen for the most part! At the end of a half-hour or hour of news, I have noticed that they might share a two-minute good news story. Then again, maybe not!

Jesus came to bring life to a lost and dying world, yet it is up to us as believers to share the message!

Proverbs 18:21a (NKJV) 21a – Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

During this Christmas Season and on into the New Year, I would like to encourage you to let your words be healing words! I pray your words would be life-giving!

I pray you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas as you remember and appreciate the Christ of Christmas!

Blessing in Christ from Willie at wake up castle rock-wake up Americs

Sunday, November 28, and ends on Friday, December 24 What is Advent? ANSWER

Advent is the season of the year leading up to Christmas. It is observed with various traditions and rituals by Catholics and other liturgical groups such as Lutherans, Anglicans, and Methodists. In recent years, Advent celebrations of one type or another have been added to many evangelical services as well.

The word advent itself means “arrival” or “an appearing or coming into place.” Christians often speak of Christ’s “first advent” and “second advent”; that is, His first and second comings to earth. His first advent would be the Incarnation—Christmastime.

The Advent season lasts for four Sundays. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, or the nearest Sunday to November 30. Advent ends on Christmas Eve and thus is not considered part of the Christmas season. The Advent celebration is both a commemoration of Christ’s first coming and an anticipation of His second coming. As Israel longed for their Messiah to come, so Christians long for their Savior to come again.

The Eastern Orthodox Church does not observe Advent per se, but they do keep a long fast before Christmas. In the West, Advent has developed a more festive tone, although many churches also keep a fast and focus on prayer and penitence akin to what takes place during the Lenten season (sometimes, Advent is even called “Little Lent”). Advent is seen as a time to prepare one’s heart for Christmas and for the eventual return of Christ (and the judgment He will bring to the world).

Churches that observe Advent usually decorate their sanctuaries in the liturgical color of Advent, purple (or in some cases royal blue). Some churches change the color to rose on the third or fourth Sunday of Advent to signify a greater emphasis on the joy of the season.

One of the most common Advent traditions involves the use of evergreen wreaths, branches, and trees. On the first Sunday of Advent, churches and homes are decorated with green to symbolize the eternal life that Jesus brings. An Advent wreath—an evergreen circle with four colored candles surrounding a white one in the middle—is placed in a prominent spot. The candles are then lighted one at a time, on successive Sundays. The first candle is the candle of “hope” or “expectation.” The three remaining candles on the perimeter are given various meanings depending on the church. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, the center white candle is lighted; this is the “Christ Candle,” a reminder that Jesus, the Light of the Word, has come.

Advent calendars, used to count down the days till Christmas, are popular in many homes. An Advent calendar contains a number of covered “windows” that are opened, one a day, until Christmas Day. Each open window reveals a picture related to the season or a poem or a Bible verse or a treat of some kind. Many parents find that an Advent calendar is a good way to teach their children the true meaning of Christmas—although there are secular versions of the calendars, too.

Should Christians observe Advent? This is a matter of personal conviction. Here is the biblical principle: “One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord” (Romans 14:5–6).

There is certainly nothing wrong with commemorating Jesus’ birth and anticipating His return—such commemoration and anticipation should be an everyday part of our lives. Are Christians required to observe Advent? No. Does observing Advent make one a better Christian or more acceptable to God? No. Can celebrating Advent be a good reminder of what the season is truly all about? Yes, and therein lies its greatest value.

Some can handle the truth however many cannot handle the truth:

Almost two thousand years ago, Truth was put on trial and judged by people who were devoted to lies. In fact, Truth faced six trials in less than one full day, three of which were religious, and three that were legal. In the end, few people involved in those events could answer the question, “What is truth?”

After being arrested, the Truth was first led to a man named Annas, a corrupt former high priest of the Jews. Annas broke numerous Jewish laws during the trial, including holding the trial in his house, trying to induce self-accusations against the defendant, and striking the defendant, who had been convicted of nothing at the time. After Annas, the Truth was led to the reigning high priest, Caiaphas, who happened to be Annas’s son-in-law. Before Caiaphas and the Jewish Sanhedrin, many false witnesses came forward to speak against the Truth, yet nothing could be proved, and no evidence of wrongdoing could be found. Caiaphas broke no fewer than seven laws while trying to convict the Truth: (1) the trial was held in secret; (2) it was carried out at night; (3) it involved bribery; (4) the defendant had no one present to make a defense for Him; (5) the requirement of 2-3 witnesses could not be met; (6) they used self-incriminating testimony against the defendant; (7) they carried out the death penalty against the defendant the same day. All these actions were prohibited by Jewish law. Regardless, Caiaphas declared the Truth guilty because the Truth claimed to be God in the flesh, something Caiaphas called blasphemy.

When morning came, the third trial of the Truth took place, with the result that the Jewish Sanhedrin pronounced the Truth should die. However, the Jewish council had no legal right to carry out the death penalty, so they were forced to bring the Truth to the Roman governor at the time, a man named Pontius Pilate. Pilate was appointed by Tiberius as the fifth prefect of Judea and served in that capacity A.D. 26 to 36. The procurator had power of life and death and could reverse capital sentences passed by the Sanhedrin. As the Truth stood before Pilate, more lies were brought against Him. His enemies said, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King” (Luke 23:2). This was a lie, as the Truth had told everyone to pay their taxes (Matthew 22:21) and never spoke of Himself as a challenge to Caesar.

After this, a remarkably interesting conversation between the Truth and Pilate took place. “Therefore, Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?’ Pilate answered, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?’ Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, my kingdom is not of this realm.’ Therefore, Pilate said to Him, ‘So You are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘you say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.’ Pilate said to Him, ‘What is truth?’” (John 18:33–38).

Pilate’s question, “What is truth?” has reverberated down through history. Was it a melancholy desire to know what no one else could tell him, a cynical insult, or perhaps an irritated, indifferent reply to Jesus’ words?

In defining truth, it is first helpful to note what truth is not:

Truth is not simply whatever works. This is the philosophy of pragmatism—an ends-vs.-means-type approach. In reality, lies can appear to “work,” but they are still lies and not the truth.
Truth is not simply what is coherent or understandable. A group of people can get together and form a conspiracy based on a set of falsehoods where they all agree to tell the same false story, but it does not make their presentation true.
Truth is not what makes people feel good. Unfortunately, bad news can be true.
Truth is not what the majority says is true. Fifty-one percent of a group can reach a wrong conclusion.
Truth is not what is comprehensive. A lengthy, detailed presentation can still result in a false conclusion.
Truth is not defined by what is intended. Good intentions can still be wrong.
Truth is not how we know; truth is what we know.
Truth is not simply what is believed. A lie believed is still a lie.
Truth is not what is publicly proved. A truth can be privately known (for example, the location of buried treasure).

The Greek word for “truth” is Alethia, which literally means to “un-hide” or “hiding nothing.” It conveys the thought that truth is always there, always open, and available for all to see, with nothing being hidden or obscured. The Hebrew word for “truth” is Emeth, which means “firmness,” “constancy” and “duration.” Such a definition implies an everlasting substance and something that can be relied upon.

From a philosophical perspective, there are three simple ways to define truth:

Truth is that which corresponds to reality.
Truth is that which matches its object.
Truth is simply telling it like it is.

First, truth corresponds to reality or “what is.” It is real. Truth is also correspondent in nature. In other words, it matches its object and is known by its referent. For example, a teacher facing a class may say, “Now the only exit to this room is on the right.” For the class that may be facing the teacher, the exit door may be on their left, but it is absolutely true that the door, for the professor, is on the right.

Truth also matches its object. It may be absolutely true that a certain person may need so many milligrams of a certain medication, but another person may need more or less of the same medication to produce the desired effect. This is not relative truth, but just an example of how truth must match its object. It would be wrong (and potentially dangerous) for a patient to request that their doctor give them an inappropriate amount of a particular medication, or to say that any medicine for their specific ailment will do.

In short, truth is simply telling it like it is it is the way things really are, and any other viewpoint is wrong. A foundational principle of philosophy is being able to discern between truth and error, or as Thomas Aquinas observed, "It is the task of the philosopher to make distinctions."

Challenges to Truth

Aquinas’ words are not extremely popular today. Making distinctions seems to be out of fashion in a postmodern era of relativism. It is acceptable today to say, “This is true,” as long as it is not followed by, “and therefore that is false.” This is especially observable in matters of faith and religion where every belief system is supposed to be on equal footing where truth is concerned.

There are a number of philosophies and worldviews that challenge the concept of truth, yet, when each is critically examined it turns out to be self-defeating in nature.

The philosophy of relativism says that all truth is relative and that there is no such thing as absolute truth. But one has to ask: is the claim “all truth is relative” a relative truth or an absolute truth? If it is a relative truth, then it really is meaningless; how do we know when and where it applies? If it is an absolute truth, then absolute truth exists. Moreover, the relativist betrays his own position when he states that the position of the absolutist is wrong—why can’t those who say absolute truth exists be correct too? In essence, when the relativist says, “There is no truth,” he is asking you not to believe him, and the best thing to do is follow his advice.

Those who follow the philosophy of skepticism simply doubt all truth. But is the skeptic skeptical of skepticism; does he doubt his own truth claim? If so, then why pay attention to skepticism? If not, then we can be sure of at least one thing (in other words, absolute truth exists)—skepticism, which, ironically, becomes absolute truth in that case. The agnostic says you cannot know the truth. Yet the mindset is self-defeating because it claims to know at least one truth: that you cannot know truth.

The disciples of postmodernism simply affirm no particular truth. The patron saint of postmodernism—Frederick Nietzsche—described truth like this: “What then is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms … truths are illusions … coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.” Ironically, although the postmodernist holds coins in his hand that are now “mere metal,” he affirms at least one absolute truth: the truth that no truth should be affirmed. Like the other worldviews, postmodernism is self-defeating and cannot stand up under its own claim.

A popular worldview is pluralism, which says that all truth claims are equally valid. Of course, this is impossible. Can two claims—one that says a woman is now pregnant and another that says she is not now pregnant—both be true at the same time? Pluralism unravels at the feet of the law of non-contradiction, which says that something cannot be both “A” and “Non-A” at the same time and in the same sense. As one philosopher quipped, anyone who believes that the law of non-contradiction is not true (and, by default, pluralism is true) should be beaten and burned until they admit that to be beaten and burned is not the same thing as to not be beaten and burned. Also, note that pluralism says that it is true, and anything opposed to it is false, which is a claim that denies its own foundational tenet.

The spirit behind pluralism is an open-armed attitude of tolerance. However, pluralism confuses the idea of everyone having equal value with every truth claim being equally valid. More simply, all people may be equal, but not all truth claims are. Pluralism fails to understand the difference between opinion and truth, a distinction Mortimer Adler notes: “Pluralism is desirable and tolerable only in those areas that are matters of taste rather than matters of truth.”

The Offensive Nature of Truth

When the concept of truth is maligned, it is usually for one or more of the following reasons:

One common complaint against anyone claiming to have absolute truth in matters of faith and religion is that such a stance is “narrow-minded.” However, the critic fails to understand that, by nature, truth is narrow. Is a math teacher narrow-minded for holding to the belief that 2 + 2 only equals 4?

Another objection to truth is that it is arrogant to claim that someone is right, and another person is wrong. However, returning to the above example with mathematics, is it arrogant for a math teacher to insist on only one right answer to an arithmetic problem? Or is it arrogant for a locksmith to state that only one key will open a locked door?

A third charge against those holding to absolute truth in matters of faith and religion is that such a position excludes people, rather than being inclusive. But such a complaint fails to understand that truth, by nature, excludes its opposite. All answers other than 4 are excluded from the reality of what 2 + 2 truly equals.

Yet another protest against truth is that it is offensive and divisive to claim one has the truth. Instead, the critic argues, all that matters is sincerity. The problem with this position is that truth is immune to sincerity, belief, and desire. It does not matter how much one sincerely believes a wrong key will fit a door; the key still will not go in and the lock will not be opened. Truth is also unaffected by sincerity. Someone who picks up a bottle of poison and sincerely believes it is lemonade will still suffer the unfortunate effects of the poison. Finally, truth is impervious to desire. A person may strongly desire that their car has not run out of gas, but if the gauge says the tank is empty and the car will not run any farther, then no desire in the world will miraculously cause the car to keep going.

Some will admit that absolute truth exists, but then claim such a stance is only valid in the area of science and not in matters of faith and religion. This is a philosophy called logical positivism, which was popularized by philosophers such as David Hume and A. J. Ayer. In essence, such people state that truth claims must either be (1) tautologies (for example, all bachelors are unmarried men) or (2) empirically verifiable (that is, testable via science). To the logical positivist, all talk about God is nonsense.

Those who hold to the notion that only science can make truth claims fail to recognize is that there are many realms of truth where science is impotent. For example:

Science cannot prove the disciplines of mathematics and logic because it presupposes them.
Science cannot prove metaphysical truths such as, minds other than my own do exist.
Science is unable to provide truth in the areas of morals and ethics. You cannot use science, for example, to prove the Nazis were evil.
Science is incapable of stating truths about aesthetic positions such as the beauty of a sunrise.
Lastly, when anyone makes the statement “science is the only source of objective truth,” they have just made a philosophical claim—which cannot be tested by science.

And there are those who say that absolute truth does not apply in the area of morality. Yet the response to the question, “Is it moral to torture and murder an innocent child?” is absolute and universal: No. Or, to make it more personal, those who espouse relative truth concerning morals always seem to want their spouse to be absolutely faithful to them.

Why Truth Is Important

Why is it so important to understand and embrace the concept of absolute truth in all areas of life (including faith and religion)? Simply because life has consequences for being wrong. Giving someone the wrong amount of a medication can kills them; having an investment manager make the wrong monetary decisions can impoverish a family; boarding the wrong plane will take you where you do not wish to go; and dealing with an unfaithful marriage partner can result in the destruction of a family and, potentially, disease. Nowhere are the consequences more important than in the area of faith and religion. Eternity is a long time to be wrong.

God and Truth

During the six trials of Jesus, the contrast between the truth (righteousness) and lies (unrighteousness) was unmistakable. They are stood Jesus, the Truth, being judged by those whose every action was bathed in lies. The Jewish leaders broke nearly every law designed to protect a defendant from wrongful conviction. They fervently worked to find any testimony that would incriminate Jesus, and in their frustration, they turned to false evidence brought forward by liars. But even that could not help them reach their goal. So, they broke another law and forced Jesus to implicate Himself.

Once in front of Pilate, the Jewish leaders lied again. They convicted Jesus of blasphemy, but since they knew that would not be enough to coax Pilate to kill Jesus, they claimed Jesus was challenging Caesar and was breaking Roman law by encouraging the crowds to not pay taxes. Pilate quickly detected their superficial deception, and he never even addressed the charge.

Jesus the Righteous was being judged by the unrighteous. The sad fact is that the latter always persecutes the former. It is why Cain killed Abel. The link between truth and righteousness and between falsehood and unrighteousness is demonstrated by a number of examples in the New Testament:

For this reason, God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but took pleasure in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11–12, emphasis added).
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18, emphasis added).
“who will render to each person according to his deeds; to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation” (Romans 2:6–8, emphasis added).
“[love] does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth” (1 Corinthians 13:5–6, emphasis added).

What Is Truth? - Conclusion

The question Pontius Pilate asked centuries ago needs to be rephrased in order to be completely accurate. The Roman governor’s remark “What is truth?” overlooks the fact that many things can have truth, but only one thing can actually be the Truth. Truth must originate from somewhere.

The stark reality is that Pilate was looking directly at the Origin of all Truth on that early morning almost two thousand years ago. Not long before being arrested and brought to the governor, Jesus had made the simple statement “I am the truth” (John 14:6), which was a rather incredible statement. How could a mere man be the truth? He could not be, unless He was more than a man, which is actually what He claimed to be. The fact is Jesus’ claim was validated when He rose from the dead (Romans 1:4).

There is a story about a man who lived in Paris who had a stranger from the country come see him. Wanting to show the stranger the magnificence of Paris, he took him to the Louvre to see the great art and then to a concert at a majestic symphony hall to hear a great symphony orchestra play. At the end of the day, the stranger from the country commented that he did not particularly like either the art or the music. To which his host replied, “They aren’t on trial, you are.” Pilate and the Jewish leaders thought they were judging Christ, when, in reality, they were the ones being judged. Moreover, the One they convicted will actually serve as their Judge one day, as He will for all who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

Pilate evidently never came to a knowledge of the truth. Eusebius, the historian, and Bishop of Caesarea, records the fact that Pilate ultimately committed suicide sometime during the reign of the emperor Caligula—a sad ending and a reminder for everyone that ignoring the truth always leads to undesired consequences.

The truth of the gospel is not subject to any human veto or democratic procedures. Jesus was not elected Lord by humans but chosen by God.

Truth about God. God created everything, he created us, and as a result we belong to him.
Truth about Sin. God loves us, and as a result he has given us free will.

End Times Biblical Answers from Billy Graham

QUESTION: How bad is the world going to have to get before God finally steps in and Jesus comes back? Are we living in the last times? ANSWER: The Bible warns us against making precise predictions about the exact time of Jesus’ return—but His return is certain, and we may well be living in the last days before He comes again. The Bible says, “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here” (Romans 13:12). Shortly before returning to Heaven, Jesus told His disciples that someday He would come back to establish His kingdom. But before that could take place, He said, certain things would have to happen—and we see many of these today. For example, He said that before His return the Gospel must be preached throughout the world (see Mark 13:10). Never before has this been possible—but now it is through radio and the internet and other modern means of mass communication. Our world is no stranger to evil; Satan has always been working to stop God’s plans. But God’s enemies now have access to modern weapons of mass destruction, and no one can predict what the outcome will be. Jesus said, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. … Nation will rise against nation” (Matthew 24:6–7, NKJV). With so much chaos and confusion in the world today—from the COVID-19 pandemic to widespread civil unrest—many wonder if we are living in the end times. THE END TIMES 1 QUESTION: How will the world end? Does the Bible say anything about this? ANSWER: I want to assure you that the world’s future is firmly in God’s hands, and the world as we know it will only pass away when God intervenes to bring it to an end. Does that mean we’ll never experience wars, plagues, or natural disasters that look like they might bring life to an end (just as they have in the past)? It’s certainly possible; God hasn’t promised to deliver us from such tragedies. But they aren’t the end, and even in the midst of these we can trust God’s promise to be with us. Jesus said, “Such things must happen, but the end is still to come” (Matthew 24:6). What will the end be like? For one thing, it will be sudden and unexpected—and most people will be unprepared. Just as in the days of Noah’s flood, a catastrophe will suddenly overtake the earth—and then it will be too late to turn to God. The Bible also hints at total, fiery destruction. “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything … in it will be laid bare” (2 Peter 3:10). The good news is, we need not need fear that day if we know Christ. “Since everything will be destroyed … live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God” (2 Peter 3:11–12). QUESTION: Why do some people get all wrapped up in trying to predict the end of the world? We’ve always experienced wars and natural disasters, and we always will. ANSWER: You’re right—up to a point. Throughout history some people have claimed to know exactly when the world was going to come to an end—and they were clearly wrong. Jesus said, “About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36). But there is one prophecy about the future that I urge you not to ignore or dismiss as nonsense—and that is the one spoken by Jesus. Jesus warned that someday this world as we know it will come to an end—not because of a war or natural disaster, but because God will intervene and bring it to an end. The future is in God’s hands, and He alone will bring an end to the world. THE END TIMES 2 And when He does, all the evils of this world will be destroyed and Jesus Christ will come again to rule over a new world in perfect peace and justice. We can barely imagine this, but it gives us hope for a better world. As the Bible says, “In keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13). Don’t worry about those who falsely claim to know when the world will come to an end. Instead, put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. He alone gives us hope for the future and strength for our lives right now. QUESTION: If we are living in the last days and the world is going to come to an end before long, then why should we bother having children or saving money for our retirement? Why bother preparing for the future if there isn’t going to be any future? ANSWER: If we knew for certain exactly when Christ was going to come again, and when this present world would come to an end—then yes, what you say might make sense. But we don’t know—and that is the way God intended it to be. When Jesus’ disciples asked Him when He would return to establish His kingdom, He answered by warning them not to be fooled by anyone who claimed to know the answer. Then He said, “About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mark 13:32). Why is this? One reason, I believe, is because if we did know, we might be tempted to stop doing the work God wants us to do. In one of His parables, Jesus commended the servant who kept on working while his master was away. Then He added, “It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns” (Luke 12:43). May that be true of us. At the same time, Christ’s promise is clear: Someday He will come again in glory and power, and all the evil and rebellion and injustice of this present world will come to an end. That day is closer now than it has ever been before. Are you ready for that day? Make sure of your commitment to Christ—and make sure as well that if He does come during your lifetime, He will find you working and living for Him. THE END TIMES 3 1. RECOGNIZE GOD’S PLAN—PEACE AND LIFE God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life. The BIBLE says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16, NKJV 2. REALIZE OUR PROBLEM—SEPARATION FROM GOD People choose to disobey God and go their own way. This results in separation from God. The BIBLE says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23, NKJV 3. RESPOND TO GOD’S REMEDY—THE CROSS OF CHRIST God sent His Son to bridge the gap. Christ did this by paying the penalty of our sins when He died on the cross and rose from the grave. The BIBLE says, “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8, ESV 4. RECEIVE GOD’S SON—LORD AND SAVIOR You cross the bridge into God’s family when you ask Christ to come into your life. The BIBLE says, “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12, ESV

God gave all of us free will to choose. We are not to force conversion: Christian or non -believer

Forced conversion uses pressure, force, or threat to make someone abandon their beliefs for those of another religion—forced conversion results in adopting a different religion (or the abandonment of all faiths) under duress. Forced conversion is prominent in some religions, cults, and totalitarian governments, but it’s easy to address from a Christian point of view.

Simply put, forced conversion is wrong. Growing the ranks of a religion should not involve any coercion. Often, forced conversion doesn’t even work: those who are forced into a different faith may act as a convert outwardly but secretly remain loyal to their former religion.

It is impossible to become a Christian as a result of force or coercion. It may be possible to force someone to engage in a religious ceremony or mouth words to a prayer, but a Christian is not about a ceremony or perfunctory prayers. It’s about being born again by the Spirit of God, and no amount of human pressure can force the Spirit’s hand. God knows the heart. Regeneration cannot be externally imposed.

Some religious leaders in history have taken up the sword to compel people to join their ranks, but not Jesus. He laid down His life and invited us to follow Him. His kingdom functions differently from what the world is used to. Jesus told Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place” (John 18:36).

Forced conversion also contradicts the free will that God has given each of us. We extend the invitation to all to be saved, but we do not constrain them. We recognize that people must repent and believe on their own, as the Holy Spirit works in their hearts (see John 16:8). Jesus alluded to the sinner’s free will as He spoke to a rebellious Jerusalem: “How often I have longed to gather your children together, . . . and you were not willing” (Luke 13:34, emphasis added).

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas meet a man in the Greek city of Philippi who asks an essential question about salvation. We know at least three things about this man: he was a jailer, he was a pagan, and he was desperate. He had been on the verge of suicide when Paul stopped him. And that’s when the man asks, “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30).

The very fact that the man asks the question shows that he recognized his need of salvation—he saw only death for himself, and he knew he needed help. The fact that he asks Paul and Silas shows that he believed they had the answer. That answer comes swiftly and simply: “Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). The passage goes on to show that the man’s life began displaying a difference right away. Note that the man’s conversion was based on faith (“Believe”). He had to trust Jesus and nothing else. His faith included a belief that Jesus died for sin and rose again because that was the message that Paul and Silas had been preaching (see Romans 10:9–10 and 1 Corinthians 15:1–4). The salvation of the Philippian jailer was anything but a forced conversion; instead, it was based on his own personal desire and a choice to place his faith in Christ.

To convert to Christianity, we must believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for sin and rose again. We must agree with God that we are sinners in need of salvation, and we must trust in Jesus alone to save. When we do this, God promises to save us and give us the Holy Spirit, who will make us new creations. Being a Christian is having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that results in the forgiveness of sins and eternity in heaven. Something like that cannot be forced. True religion is not coerced.

“Is there a time when we should intentionally disobey the laws of the land?” The answer to that question may be found in Acts 5:27-29, “Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.

'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this Name,' he said. 'Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.' Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than men!'“ From this, it is clear that as long as the law of the land does not contradict the law of God, we are bound to obey the law of the land.

As soon as the law of the land contradicts God’s command, we are to disobey the law of the land and obey God’s law.

However, even in that instance, we are to accept the government’s authority over us. This is demonstrated by the fact that Peter and John did not protest being flogged but instead rejoiced that they suffered for obeying God (Acts 5:40-42).

Are you aware that leaders and others have a force conversion plan directly or indirectly?

Many shows are promoting LBGQT themes
Many leaders are making racist comments: Joe Biden has a decades-long habit of making overtly racist remarks, taking discriminatory positions, and cavorting with known racists—things ...
BLM is making flat out threats: BLM threatens 'riots, bloodshed' in NYC if Adams brings back police unit,
DOJ is treating parents as a domestic terrorist: Concerned Parents Aren’t Domestic Terrorists
CRT is being forced on many schools: Colorado students are being fed the poison fruits of Critical Race Theory
Cancel culture: schools told to avoid the words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ under a new language guide; however, LGBT sentiments were commonplace and acceptable: cancel culture is toxic
Religious Freedom Is Under Attack Like Never Before

You decide your choice. As for me, I will believe in not man; I will trust in God, not Man

16명의 미국인과 캐나다인이 아이티에서 납치된 지 한 달이 지났습니다. 그들이 석방되어 가족에게 돌아갈 수 있도록 기도해 주시겠습니까? 이 세상은 실제로 최근 오로라 콜로라도 총격 사건, Biden-Xi가 만난 것처럼 거리에서 혼란 살인의 공입니다. 중국은 대만에서 '불장난'에 대해 미국에 경고하고, 러시아는 가까운 중앙 아시아에 군대를 배치하는 것에 대해 미국에게 경고합니다. 아프가니스탄, 이 지도자들은 많은 사람들의 목숨을 걸고 도박을 하고 있습니다.

그리고 사람들은 예수 그리스도만이 구원에 이르는 유일한 길이라는 것을 이해하지 못하거나 받아들이기를 거부하거나 이해하지 못합니다. 이 나라, 이 세상, 우리 모두는 기도가 필요합니다. 일어나라, 미국이여, 세계를 깨우라. 기도는 수천 년 전에 그랬던 것처럼 오늘날에도 작동하고 계속 작동합니다. 많은 사람들이 그 힘을 경험했습니다.

언제 상황이 나아질지 궁금할 때... 기도는 응답됩니다! 그리고 대부분의 경우 당신이 상상한 것보다 더 나은 결과를 얻을 것입니다! 축복의 기도가 그 기도와 하나님을 믿는 사람들을 위해 무엇을 할 수 있는지에 대한 진정하고 강력한 경험입니다.

무지개는 동성애자를 위한 것이 아니며 무지개는 하나님의 선물이라는 것을 언급하고 싶습니다. 성경적으로 말하면, 무지개는 하나님이 온 땅과 맺은 언약의 표징입니다. 하나님은 다시는 홍수로 세상을 멸하지 않으실 것입니다. 무지개는 말 그대로 비와 관련이 있습니다.

홍수가 물러가고 노아와 그의 가족이 방주에서 나온 후에 하나님은 무지개를 징조로 하여 이 언약을 맺으셨습니다. 하나님이 이르시되 내가 너희와 내 언약을 세우리니 다시는 모든 생물을 홍수로 멸하지 아니하고 땅을 멸할 홍수가 다시 있지 아니하리니... 내가 너와 나와 너와 함께 하는 모든 생물 사이에 세우는 언약의 증표는 이것이니 대대로 대대로 하는 언약이라 내가 내 무지개를 구름 속에 두었고 이것이 나와 사이의 언약의 증표니라 그리고 지구. 내가 구름으로 땅을 덮을 때마다 무지개가 구름 속에 나타날 때마다 나는 너와 나와 그리고 모든 생물 사이에 맺은 내 언약을 기억할 것이다. 다시는 물이 모든 생명을 멸하는 홍수가 되지 아니하리라. 무지개가 구름 속에 나타날 때마다 내가 그것을 보고 하나님과 땅에 있는 모든 생물 사이의 영원한 언약을 기억하리라"(창세기 9:11-15).

하나님은 무지개로 상징되는 이 약속을 인간에게만 주신 것이 아니라 “모든 생물… 새와 육축과 모든 들짐승과 방주에서 나온 모든 것… 땅."(창세기 9:9-10). 그 언약은 영원하고 모든 세대에 걸쳐 지속되며 다시는 세계적인 홍수가 없을 것입니다.

무지개의 색은 때때로 "게이 프라이드"의 상징으로 사용됩니다. 이것은 Gilbert Baker라는 예술가가 샌프란시스코의 게이 커뮤니티를 위한 깃발을 디자인하고 만들면서 1978년에 시작되었습니다. 베이커의 독창적인 디자인은 8가지 색상으로 각각 핫핑크(섹슈얼리티), 레드(생명), 오렌지(치유), 옐로우(태양), 그린(자연), 터키석(예술), 남색(조화)에 의미를 부여했다.) 및 보라색(영혼). 나중의 디자인은 7가지 색상과 6가지 색상을 선보였습니다. LGBTQ + 커뮤니티에서 사용하는 무지개 깃발과 배너는 다양성, 희망, 사회적 행동을 나타냅니다.

동성애 문화와 무관한 다른 무지개 깃발과 현수막이 있습니다. 예를 들어, 하와이 코 알로하 깃발에는 서구 문명이 도착하기 전에 거주했던 섬을 나타내는 9개의 색 줄무늬가 있습니다. 또 다른 예는 7가지 다른 미덕을 나타내는 깃발을 가진 프리메이슨 조직인 International Order of the Rainbow for Girls의 깃발입니다.

무지개는 하나님의 창조물입니다. 당연히 우리는 그것을 기뻐합니다. 폭풍우 후에 무지개가 나타나는 것은 압도적인 무언가가 있습니다. 우리가 무지개를 하나님의 신실하심과 자비의 하나님이 정하신 상징으로 기뻐하는 것은 선하고 옳은 일입니다. 일부 사람들이 자신의 목적을 위해 색상을 선택하려고 한다고 해서 하나님이 만드신 것의 아름다움과 경이로움이 줄어들지는 않습니다.

그것은 하나님이 의도하신 바에 관한 것입니다. 그것은 사람이 원하는 바가 아니며 그것이 의미하는 바도 아닙니다.

Ha pasado un mes desde que 16 estadounidenses y un canadiense fueron secuestrados en Haití. ¿Podría orar por su liberación para que puedan volver con sus familias? Este mundo es de hecho una bola de confusión asesinato en las calles tan recientemente como el tiroteo en Aurora Colorado, Biden-Xi se reúne: China advierte a Estados Unidos sobre 'jugar con fuego' en Taiwán, Rusia advierte a Estados Unidos contra el despliegue de tropas en Asia Central cerca de Afganistán, estos líderes están jugando con la vida de muchos.

Y la gente no lo entiende o se niega a recibirlo, o no entiende, que Jesucristo es el único camino a la salvación. Esta nación, este mundo, todos necesitamos oración. Despierta, América, despierta el mundo. La oración funciona y sigue funcionando hoy como lo hizo hace miles de años. Muchos han experimentado su poder.

Justo cuando te preguntas cuándo las cosas van a mejorar ... ¡la oración es respondida! ¡Y la mayoría de las veces serán mejores resultados de los que imaginaba! Es una experiencia auténtica y poderosa de lo que la oración de bendición puede hacer por aquellos que tienen fe en ella y en Dios.

Quiero mencionar que el arco iris no es para homosexuales y el arco iris fue un regalo de Dios. Bíblicamente hablando, el arco iris es la señal de un pacto que Dios hizo con toda la tierra: nunca más destruirá el mundo con un diluvio. El arco iris está literalmente relacionado con la lluvia.

Dios hizo este pacto, con el arco iris como señal, después de que las aguas del diluvio retrocedieron y Noé y su familia salieron del arca. Dios dijo: "Yo establezco mi pacto contigo: nunca más será destruida toda la vida por las aguas de un diluvio; nunca más habrá un diluvio para destruir la tierra.... Esta es la señal del pacto que estoy haciendo entre tú y yo y todo ser viviente contigo, un pacto para todas las generaciones venideras: he puesto mi arco iris en las nubes, y será la señal del pacto entre mí y la tierra. Siempre que traiga nubes sobre la tierra y el arco iris aparezca en las nubes, recordaré mi pacto entre tú y yo y todas las criaturas vivientes de todo tipo. Nunca más las aguas se convertirán en una inundación para destruir toda la vida. Siempre que el arco iris aparezca en las nubes, lo veré y recordaré el pacto eterno entre Dios y todos los seres vivientes de toda clase sobre la tierra "(Génesis 9: 11-15).

Dios hizo esta promesa, representada por el arco iris, no solo para la humanidad, sino para "toda criatura viviente ... las aves, el ganado y todos los animales salvajes, todos los que salieron del arca ... toda criatura viviente de la tierra. "(Génesis 9: 9-10). El pacto es perpetuo, duradero para todas las generaciones, y nunca más habrá un diluvio mundial.

Los colores del arco iris se utilizan a veces como símbolo del "orgullo gay". Esto comenzó en 1978 cuando un artista llamado Gilbert Baker diseñó e hizo una bandera para la comunidad homosexual en San Francisco. El diseño original de Baker tenía ocho colores, y le asignó un significado a cada uno: rosa fuerte (sexualidad), rojo (vida), naranja (curación), amarillo (el sol), verde (naturaleza), turquesa (arte), índigo (armonía) y violeta (espíritu). Los diseños posteriores lucían siete y luego seis colores. Las banderas y pancartas de arcoíris, tal como las usa la comunidad LGBTQ +, representan diversidad, esperanza y acción social.

Hay otras banderas y estandartes arcoíris que no tienen nada que ver con la cultura homosexual. Por ejemplo, la bandera de Hawaii Ko Aloha tiene nueve franjas de colores que representan las islas que estaban habitadas antes de la llegada de la civilización occidental. Otro ejemplo es la bandera de la Orden Internacional del Arcoíris para Niñas, una organización masónica cuyo estandarte representa siete virtudes diferentes.

El arco iris es la creación de Dios. Naturalmente, nos deleitamos con él. Hay algo sobrecogedor en la apariencia de un arco iris después de una tormenta. Es bueno y correcto que nos regocijemos en el arco iris como un símbolo ordenado por Dios de la fidelidad y misericordia de Dios. El intento de algunos de cooptar los colores para sus propios propósitos no disminuye la belleza y la maravilla de lo que Dios ha hecho. [startSpeech r = StartSpeech lento] [endSpeech] Se trata de lo que Dios quiso que fuera. No es lo que el hombre quiere que sea o para lo que signifique.

It has been a month since 16 Americans, and a Canadian were kidnapped in Haiti. Would you please pray for their release so they can get back to their families.

This world is indeed a ball of confusion murder in the streets as recently as the shooting in Aurora Colorado, Biden-Xi meets: China warns the United States about 'playing with fire' on Taiwan, Russia warns the US against deploying troops in Central Asia near Afghanistan these leaders are playing with the lives of many.

And people do not get it or refuse to get it, or do not understand, that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. This nation, this world, we all require prayer. Wake up, America, wake up world.

Prayer works and is still working today as it did thousands of years ago. Many have experienced its power.

Just when you wonder when things are going to get better...prayer gets answered! And most of the time it will be better results than what you imagined! It is a powerful authentic experience of what blessing prayer can do for those who have faith in it and in God.

I want to mention this the rainbow is not for homosexuals, and the rainbow was a gift from God.

Biblically speaking, the rainbow is the sign of a covenant that God made with the whole earth: He will never destroy the world again with a flood. The rainbow is literally correlated to rainfall.

God made this covenant, with the rainbow as the token, after the waters of the flood receded, and Noah and his family exited the ark. God said, "I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. . . . This is the sign of the covenant I am making between you and me and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth, and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between you and me and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth" (Genesis 9:11–15).

God made this promise, signified by the rainbow, not only to humankind but to "every living creature . . . the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark . . . every living creature on earth" (Genesis 9:9–10). The covenant is perpetual, enduring to all generations, and never again will there be a worldwide flood.

The colors of the rainbow are sometimes used as a symbol of "gay pride." This began in 1978 when an artist named Gilbert Baker designed and made a flag for the homosexual community in San Francisco. Baker's original design had eight colors, and he assigned a meaning to each one: hot pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow (the sun), green (nature), turquoise (art), indigo (harmony), and violet (spirit). Subsequent designs sported seven and then six colors. Rainbow flags and banners, as used by the LGBTQ+ community, represent diversity, hope, and social action.

There are other rainbow flags and banners that have nothing to do with the homosexual culture. For example, the Hawaii Ko Aloha Flag has nine colored stripes representing the islands that were inhabited before Western civilization arrived. Another example is the flag of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, a Masonic organization whose banner represents seven different virtues.

The rainbow is God's creation. We naturally delight in it. There is something awe-inspiring in the appearance of a rainbow after a storm. It is good and right that we rejoice in the rainbow as a God-ordained symbol of God's faithfulness and mercy. The attempt of some to co-opt the colors for their own purposes does not diminish the beauty and wonder of what God has made.

It is about what God meant for it to be. Not what man want it to be or mean for.

Deuteronomy 31:6 ESV

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

Question: "How can I heal from the hurt of a broken relationship?"

Answer: The world is full of people with broken hearts, broken spirits, and broken relationships. The pain of a broken relationship includes an authentic sense of personal loss, not unlike bereavement. Sometimes the hurt is so great it prevents people from functioning correctly and, in extreme cases, can result in mental breakdown or even a desire to commit suicide. The world puts forward various ways to assuage the pain: taking antidepressants, writing an angry letter and tearing it up, going on a shopping spree, getting a makeover, etc. Some advocate the power of positive thinking. The most common “cure” is time. While the intensity of heartbreak may wane over time, only a child of God can experience complete recovery because only the Christian has access to the power of the Spirit of God, the One who “heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3).

Jesus understands the pain of rejection. “He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him” (John 1:11). Jesus was betrayed by one of His closest associates (John 6:71; cf. Psalm 41:9). As we deal with the pain of a broken relationship, we must take our burdens to the Lord (1 Peter 5:7). He weeps with those who weep (John 11:35; Romans 12:15), and He is able to “empathize with our weaknesses” (Hebrews 4:15).

A broken relationship can be the source of many negative emotions. Christians understand the futility of allowing their emotions to guide them. Jesus Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing and has made us accepted in Him (Ephesians 1:3, 6). This acceptance transcends all feelings of rejection we may have because it is not based on “hope so” but on “know so.” We know that God has accepted us because God’s Word tells us so, and as we appropriate this truth by faith, it changes our hearts and lives.

Everyone experiences the hurt of a broken relationship at one time or another. We are bound to be hurt and disappointed, for we live in a fallen world. What we choose to do with that hurt and disappointment can make us stronger in our walk with the Lord. God promises to walk through the disappointments in life with us (Hebrews 13:5), and He wants us to know His provision for us is sure. His grace and comfort are ours as we rest in Him.

Every born-again child of God has blessings in Christ, but we must choose to utilize them. Living in constant gloom and dejection over a broken relationship is like having a million dollars in the bank and living like a pauper because we never make a withdrawal. It is also true that we cannot use what we do not know. Therefore, every believer should seek to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord” (2 Peter 3:18) and to be “transformed by the renewing of [his] mind” (Romans 12:2). We must face life armed with a real understanding of what it means to walk by faith.

As believers we are not defined by past failures, disappointment, or the rejection of others. We are defined by our relationship with God. We are His children, born again to newness of life, endowed with every spiritual blessing, and accepted in Christ Jesus. We have the faith that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).

God has prepared for each of us unique opportunities to walk through the “all things” of this life. We can either walk in our own strength and what the apostle Paul calls our “flesh,” or we can walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is our choice. God has provided us with armor, but it is up to us to wear it (Ephesians 6:11–18).

We may suffer disappointment in this life, but we are children of the King, and the rejection we experience is a momentary pain compared to eternal glory. We can allow it to keep us down, or we can claim the heritage of a child of God and move forward in His grace. Like Paul, we can be “forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” (Philippians 3:13).

Forgiveness of others is important to the healing process. Holding on to bitterness or nursing a grudge only poisons our own spirit. Yes, we may have been truly wronged, and, yes, the pain is real, but there is freedom in forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift we can give because it was given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:32).

What a comfort to know the God who said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). God is always near to comfort the believer. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4). God, who cannot lie, has promised to go through our trials with us: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze” (Isaiah 43:2).

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken” (Psalm 55:22). In reality, feelings come from thoughts, so, to change how we feel, we should change how we think. And this is what God wants us to do. In Philippians 2:5, Christians are told, “Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” In Philippians 4:8, Christians are told to think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and praiseworthy. Colossians 3:2 says to “set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” As we do this, our feelings of rejection diminish.

Overcoming the hurt of a broken relationship requires taking one day at a time, praying for God’s guidance, and reading and meditating on God’s Word. The healing can never come from our own efforts; it comes only from the Lord. It helps to take our eyes off ourselves and focus on God instead. He can make us whole. He can take our brokenness and make us into what He wants us to be. A broken relationship is painful, but the Lord is gracious. He can give our lives meaning, purpose, and joy. Jesus said, “Whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (John 6:37). Our Lord’s relationship with His children is one that will never be broken.

As we honor those who have served our country on Veterans Day, scammers go to great lengths to steal from them. Some elected leaders will not support or help them.

The number of veterans experiencing homelessness rose slightly even before the coronavirus pandemic, but yet the illegal people coming into America get better treatment than those who served to maintain freedom for this country.

Veterans Day is a celebration across the globe in remembrance of service

-- It reminds us that we have been given a special gift a gift of freedom

-- It is a gift that many died for; and are dying for; in defense of a principle

Not a dream, not a concept, not a belief … but a PRINCIPLE!
Webster’s defines principle as, “A fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.”
Also, “A rule or belief governing one's personal behavior.”

-- When we consider all that God has done for us; we must strive to be loyal

-- We must strive to never give up, and we must never lose focus

Read Philippians 1:27-30 / Pray
A Christian Veteran has three principles that he or she MUST stand by
To never give up, to be loyal, and to never lose focus

A Veteran doesn’t give up

It is with deep appreciation I take this opportunity to do this podcast for all veterans old and young currently that our Nation dedicates to honoring War, and non-combat Veterans.

When our Country called, you answered. While time goes by and many people seem to go on with life with little or no regard for the sacrifices of our Veterans, I want to assure you that I and many others hold you in high esteem.

We know that we live in a world that is filled with “wars, and rumors of wars” as the Bible indicates would be the case in the last days before the return of Jesus Christ. We also know that true lasting peace will only be known when Jesus Christ establishes His millennial reign, but until then to experience peace, some must “make the peace” through standing up to enemies foreign or domestic and of what is good and right around the world.

Isaiah 2:4

He will judge between the nations

and will settle disputes for many peoples.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,

nor will they train for war anymore.

While you served, mothers continued to kiss their children goodbye as they boarded the school bus, and as you served, fathers continued to attend their boy's baseball games and girls' band recitals. While you served, workers continued to go to work, and couples in love continued to get married on Saturdays. While you served, as many Christian Churches continued to gather in freedom to worship the God we love.

Thank you for all you have done for this great country, and may God continue to richly bless you and all you set your heart to accomplish.

Some celebrate Halloween more or treat it as an essential holiday more than Thanksgiving. Why?

Scripture does not speak at all about Halloween, but it does give us some principles on which we can decide. In Old Testament Israel, witchcraft was a crime punishable by death (Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27).

The New Testament teaching about the occult is clear. Acts 8:9-24, the story of Simon, shows that occultism and Christianity don’t mix. The account of Elymas the sorcerer in Acts 13:6-11 reveals that sorcery is violently opposed to Christianity. Paul called Elymas a child of the devil, an enemy of righteousness, and a perverter of the ways of God.

In Acts 16, at Philippi, a fortune-telling girl lost her demon powers when the evil spirit was cast out by Paul. The interesting matter here is that Paul refused to allow even good statements to come from a demon-influenced person. Acts 19 shows new converts who have abruptly broken with their former occultism by confessing, showing their evil deeds, bringing their magic paraphernalia, and burning it before everyone (Acts 19:19).

Whether or not Christians should celebrate Halloween can be a very controversial topic. Some Christians celebrate Halloween simply by dressing up in a costume and having fun, seeing it as innocent and harmless. Other Christians are equally convinced that Halloween is a satanic holiday established to worship evil spirits and promote darkness and wickedness. So, who is right? Is it possible for Christians to celebrate Halloween without compromising their faith?

Halloween, no matter how commercialized, has almost entirely pagan origins. As innocent as it may seem to some, it is not something to be taken lightly. Christians tend to have various ways to celebrate or not to celebrate Halloween.

For some, it means having an “alternative” Harvest Party. For others, it is staying away from the ghosts, witches, goblins, etc., and wearing innocuous costumes, e.g., little princesses, clowns, cowboys, super-heroes, etc. Some choose not to do anything, electing to lock themselves in the house with the lights off. With our freedom as Christians, we are at liberty to decide how to act.

So, should a Christian celebrate Halloween? Is there anything evil about a Christian dressing up as a princess or cowboy and going around the block asking for candy? No, there is not. Are there things about Halloween that are anti-Christian and should be avoided? Absolutely! If parents are going to allow their children to participate in Halloween, they should make sure to keep them from getting involved in the darker aspects of the day.

If Christians take part in Halloween, their attitude, dress, and most importantly, their behavior should still reflect a redeemed life (Philippians 1:27). Many churches hold "harvest festivals" and incorporate costumes but in a godly environment. There are many Christians who hand out tracts that share the Gospel along with the Halloween candy. The decision is ultimately ours to make. But as with all things, we are to incorporate the principles of Romans 14. We can’t allow our own convictions about a holiday to cause division in the body of Christ, nor can we use our freedom to force others to stumble in their faith. We are to do all things as to the Lord.

Okay, you might get tired of me speaking about Thanksgiving. I know that I have so much to be thankful for. So, what should you and I, as Christian, be focused on Thanksgiving Day?

The Bible tells of a beautiful story of Jesus providing miraculous healings for ten individuals suffering from Leprosy. This fantastic story is found in Luke 17:11-19, and while it shares the incredible fact that Jesus is our healer, it also gives a powerful lesson on thankfulness.

If you take time to read the story, you will see that out of the ten who experienced healing from this horrible disease, only one of them took the opportunity to turn around and thank Jesus face to face. Luke 17:15-16 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

We see that only one came back to offer thanks, but in addition to that, he was a Samaritan! In those days, Samaritans were looked down upon in many ways. Yet, he was the one who was often on the receiving end of so much hatred was, in fact, the one who was the most thankful!

As we enter this Holiday Season, some have often remarked that Thanksgiving is the “forgotten Holiday.” Unfortunately, it is often overlooked and forgotten for many of the same reasons the nine lepers continued their way.

Perhaps they were so thrilled with their healing that they forgot about the one who healed them! That would be hard to believe, but possibly that was the case.

Perhaps they went on their way to return sometime “real soon” to offer thanks, but first, they had to do other essential things. Procrastination could have been a reason.

Possibly, they felt they were doing the right thing by obeying what Jesus told them to do in verse 14 when He said to “go and show themselves to the Priest.” He was the one who would declare them fully healed and grant permission to return to society.

Whatever the reason, there was only one who felt compelled to the point that he changed direction to go back and thank the Lord for what He had done.

During this Thanksgiving season, my prayer is that we will “take time” not only during the Holiday but throughout the year to return and say “thank you” to the one who saved our souls! When you sit down to eat that wonderful Thanksgiving meal, be sure to pause and thank Him for all His blessings!

Ephesians 5:20 (NKJV) 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, [startSpeech r=Slow startSpeech][endSpeech] There are many vital Holidays, and I believe Thanksgiving should be right near the top of the list! (Christmas and Easter are fantastic too)! Thanksgiving blessings!

No espere ayuda.

Ya sea que esté sufriendo de estrés, soledad, depresión, trastorno de estrés postraumático, etc., no espere ayuda.

Esto no es cosa de risa. Esta es una condición seria ... porque si la repites una y otra vez, a veces pierdes el flujo de pensamientos. Por favor reza por mi.

Esperar ayuda psicológica puede ser costoso e incluso fatal. Los problemas de salud mental no deben tomarse a la ligera. Sé que tengo PTSD. ¿Cuál es la primera enfermedad mental que le viene a la mente cuando escucha la palabra salud emocional?

La salud mental también afecta la forma en que actúa y se siente. Pero con la ayuda de Dios para lidiar con la salud mental o las enfermedades mentales, puede encontrar formas efectivas de manejar el estrés asociado con las opciones y otros.

La salud mental no solo afecta a las personas mayores. Aplicación de la ley militar La salud mental puede afectar a cualquier persona, desde un niño pequeño hasta dos personas mayores, en diversas etapas de la vida. Como dije, tengo PTSD y sé que los problemas de salud mental pueden afectar su comportamiento. Solo pensar en ello puede ser alucinante.

Me llevó mucho tiempo buscar ayuda. Han pasado muchas cosas. Negué que necesitaba ayuda. Necesitar ayuda puede costarle su matrimonio o incluso su vida.

Podría haber alejado a mis hijos de mí, y sucedió en un momento. Pero agradezco a Dios por darme una familia que me ayude a encontrar la ayuda que necesito.

Varios factores pueden contribuir a los problemas de salud mental. La vida familiar puede ser extraña. Incluye abuso o trauma menor y puede, sí, consistir en química cerebral.

Sé que recibir ayuda me ha ayudado a mantener una salud mental positiva e ineficaz. Ahora podemos manejar ciertas cosas que antes no podíamos manejar.

Sí, incluso ahora, hay momentos en los que estoy deprimido y ni siquiera quiero salir de casa, pero ha sido útil, así que me acerqué a otras personas y prometí salir de casa. Estoy caminando por mi cuadra. Pero estoy muy agradecido por la ayuda profesional con la que Dios me ha bendecido.

Sé que algunas personas no quieren admitir que necesitan ayuda. Yo era una de esas personas. Para hablar de salud mental, algunas personas quieren evitarlo. Pero, como dije antes, la psicosis se ve como una orden de trabajo que afecta el estado de ánimo, los pensamientos y el comportamiento de una persona. Eso es correcto. Yo soy una de esas personas.

El término enfermedad mental abarca una amplia gama de trastornos como la depresión e incluso la esquizofrenia, pero este podcast lo ayudará a comprender que la enfermedad mental se puede tratar.

Nuestro cerebro es un órgano físico como los riñones de los pulmones, y nuestro cerebro es como cualquier otro órgano cuando sufre enfermedades y daños. Pero recuerde, nuestro cerebro controla todo lo que hacemos.

Cuando nuestro cerebro funciona mal, nuestras percepciones pueden distorsionarse, lo que lleva a pensamientos y acciones hirientes o dañinas. Si usted es cristiano, yo soy cristiano y en algún momento el trastorno de estrés postraumático me llama a distorsionar mis puntos de vista de Dios y de los demás.

Y sí, la enfermedad mental puede contribuir a nuestra naturaleza y comportamiento pecaminosos. ¿Alguna vez has oído hablar del viejo dicho de que los corazones y las manos perezosas son el patio de recreo del diablo? Los profesionales médicos aún no comprenden completamente la desambiguación de la enfermedad mental porque la enfermedad mental tiene una serie de factores que contribuyen al estado de ánimo.

Estos factores pueden ser factores físicos como anomalías cerebrales, desequilibrios hormonales y daño de neurotransmisores. Cosas como la nutrición, el ejercicio y el sueño también afectan su salud mental. No espere ayuda, sabiendo que la medicación adecuada y el tratamiento adecuado que recibo me han ayudado a aliviar estos síntomas, y sé que también puede ayudarlo.

También sabemos que nuestras acciones son buenas para nuestra salud física.y cómo la retroalimentación de la salud física se refleja en el comportamiento. Sé que los momentos de mi comportamiento poco saludable causan problemas que hacen que mi cuerpo sea insalubre, lo que a su vez conduce a comportamientos más insalubres. Fue muy difícil para mí romper con este ciclo.

A veces, nuestros propios pecados contribuyen a la enfermedad mental. Estoy muy agradecido de que mi esposa y mi familia me llevaran de regreso a la Iglesia Casa de Dios. Hay varios mandamientos bíblicos bíblicos mediante los cuales podemos pasar por alto algunos aspectos de la enfermedad mental.

Debido a que múltiples factores contribuyen a la enfermedad mental, la terapia multicapa suele ser la mejor.

¿Sabía que hay otro factor en las enfermedades mentales que no se considera a menudo en este programa de diseño y tratamiento? Gran parte de lo que llamamos enfermedad mental también tiene un componente espiritual que, si no se resuelve, mantiene a la persona en cautiverio.

Los humanos tenemos espíritus. Porque fuimos creados a la imagen de Dios, significa que tenemos una vida diferente a la de los animales o plantas, nuestras vidas son tuyas y mías, y estamos conectados directamente con la vida de Dios. Hechos 17:28 En él vivimos, nos movemos y somos.

Cuando estamos desconectados de Dios, no podemos vivir plenamente.

Cuando siento este vacío, trato de llenarlo con algo más incluso en el momento en que pensé en el suicidio, pero al final me doy cuenta de que todo falla y que contribuye a mi enfermedad mental.

Creemos que el primer paso para llegar a ser espiritualmente perfectos es obtener la vida eterna a través de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo, pero a veces incluso aquellos que tienen una relación con Dios a través de Jesucristo no entienden quién es Dios.

Puede ser negativo y puede ser el impacto negativo del abuso en nosotros mismos y en los demás.

Un sospechoso dijo que estaba molesto porque la víctima había tenido relaciones sexuales con su ex novia, dijo la policía.

Personalmente, sé que es mejor cuidar su salud mental antes de recibir una orden para recibir su vacuna COVID-19.

El pecado también puede distanciarnos de la comunión con Dios porque puede afectar negativamente nuestra salud mental. La enfermedad mental se trata mejor cuando estamos con Dios y Jesucristo y cuando estudiamos y vivimos plenamente nuestra comunión con Dios. Debido a que la verdad de Dios y tenemos una relación activa con Dios, necesitamos una relación activa con Dios, no solo palabras.

La enfermedad espiritual suele ser una gran parte de la enfermedad mental. Yo y yo estamos seguros de que hay otros que padecen enfermedades mentales, y hay quienes padecen enfermedades espirituales. Cuando nuestro espíritu se cura y se completa, nuestro corazón puede pensar con claridad. El Salmo 23: 3 dice que nuestro Buen Pastor "restaura mi alma".

Si bien muchas enfermedades mentales son causadas directamente por anomalías cerebrales, muchas otras enfermedades mentales son causadas por el alma que necesita recuperación. La falta de perdón (2 Corintios 2: 10-11), la amargura (Hebreos 12:15), el miedo y la ansiedad (Filipenses 4: 6-7) y la baja autoestima pueden paralizar nuestras almas. Cuando nuestras almas están heridas, no podemos pensar con claridad.

Vemos todos los eventos de la vida a través de filtros distorsionados. Los días soleados solo nos recuerdan los días en que nos lastimamos. niño grande feliz caminando por la calleLa figura de se levanta con rabia por las heridas que no han sanado.

Los comentarios imprudentes, el estrés de la vida ordinaria y el trato imprudente pueden hacer que una persona con un alma sin curar reaccione como una persona con una enfermedad mental. A medida que continuamos sucumbiendo a tales conceptos erróneos, perpetuamos nuestras propias luchas.

Vi muchas cosas que no había visto mientras estaba en el ejército.

Aunque Jesús sanó a los psicópatas él mismo, reconoció el dominio de los demás y los expulsó (por ejemplo, Marcos 1:34; Lucas 11:14). El demonio de Gerasaine era lo que los psiquiatras llamaban psicópata (ver Marcos 5: 1-20). Estaba fuera de control y se comportó de una manera inaceptable, y hoy vamos a encerrar a esta persona en una instalación.

Pero Jesús fue directamente al problema real. Ordenó a las legiones de demonios que salieran del hombre. Después de que lo hicieron, el hombre se volvió "cuerdo" (versículo 15). No todos los trastornos mentales se deben a la intervención del diablo, pero hoy en día puede haber personas diagnosticadas con una enfermedad mental que estén experimentando algún tipo de influencia demoníaca.

Estas personas necesitan la salvación espiritual principalmente entregándose a Jesús. Tu y yo.

Así como tenemos compasión por los enfermos del cuerpo, deberíamos tener compasión por los enfermos del corazón (Mateo 14:14). Así como buscamos ayuda cuando estamos enfermos, debemos buscar ayuda cuando luchamos con nuestros pensamientos, sentimientos y acciones. No tenemos que juzgar las causas específicas de la enfermedad mental de otras personas. Más bien, debemos orar por ellos y apoyarlos (Santiago 5:14).

No podemos asumir que la enfermedad mental es el resultado del pecado o la influencia del diablo. Sin embargo, cuando intente ayudar a alguien o pida ayuda por su cuenta, no debe ignorar esa posibilidad.

Nos especializamos en medicina, psiquiatría, apoyo comunitario y educación.

Se debe tener cuidado de no descuidar el aspecto espiritual de la enfermedad mental. Puede compartir la verdad de Dios con personas con enfermedades mentales, animarlas lo mejor que pueda y apoyarlas con la oración.

Cuando estamos luchando contra una enfermedad mental, debemos mantenernos despiertos para buscar la verdad de Dios, acercarnos a Él en oración, para que otros creyentes puedan sostenernos cuando necesitemos nuestra ayuda (2 Corintios 1: 3-5, Romanos). : 9-21, Gálatas 6: 2-10, Juan 13: 34-35).

Sé que tengo un problema y seguiré sucumbiendo a la idea de pedirle a Dios que me rescate de este pensamiento erróneo.

Dios me llevó a hacer este podcast porque estoy luchando con el trastorno de estrés postraumático y hay muchos más problemas que no tengo miedo de admitir.

Estoy tan contento de haber sido lavado en la sangre de Jesucristo Estoy contento de haber sido bautizado Estoy contento de saber que Jesús me cubre día a día Hijo de Dios Ahora estoy tan contento de saber que todos los días tengo muchos ángeles protegiéndome .

Necesitamos compartir la verdad de Dios nuevamente. Debemos alentarlos tanto como podamos y orar por aquellos que están luchando contra una enfermedad mental.

도움을 받기 위해 기다리지 마십시오.

스트레스, 외로움, 우울증, PTSD 등으로 고통 받고 있든, 도움을 받기 위해 기다리지 마십시오.

이것은 웃을 일이 아닙니다. 이것은 심각한 상태입니다 ... 계속해서 반복하면 생각의 흐름을 잃을 때가 있기 때문입니다. 저를 위해 기도해 주십시오.

정신적 도움을 받기 위해 기다리는 것은 비용이 많이 들고 심지어 치명적일 수도 있습니다. 정신 건강 문제는 가볍게 생각할 일이 아닙니다. 내가 PTSD를 앓고 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 정서적 건강이라는 말을 들었을 때 가장 먼저 떠오르는 정신 질환은 무엇입니까?

정신 건강은 행동하고 느끼는 방식에도 영향을 미칩니다. 그러나 정신 건강이나 정신 질환을 다루는 하나님의 도우심으로 당신은 선택과 다른 사람들과 관련된 스트레스를 관리하는 효과적인 방법을 찾을 수 있습니다.

정신 건강은 노인들에게만 영향을 미치는 것이 아닙니다. 군인 법 집행 기관 정신 건강은 인생의 다양한 단계에서 어린 아이에서 두 노인까지 누구에게나 영향을 줄 수 있습니다. 내가 말했듯이, 나는 PTSD를 앓고 있으며 정신 건강 문제가 당신의 행동에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 생각만해도 기분 전환이 될 수 있습니다.

도움을 구하는 데 시간이 많이 걸렸습니다. 많은 일이 일어났습니다. 나는 도움이 필요하다고 부인했습니다. 도움이 필요하면 결혼 생활이나 심지어 목숨까지 잃을 수 있습니다.

그것은 내 아이들이 나에게서 멀어지게 만들 수 있었는데, 그것은 한 시점에서 일어났습니다. 그러나 내가 필요한 도움을 찾도록 도와주는 가족을 주신 하나님께 감사드립니다.

몇 가지 요인이 정신 건강 문제에 기여할 수 있습니다. 가족 역사 생활이 이상할 수 있습니다. 학대 또는 약간의 외상이 포함되며 예, 뇌 화학으로 구성될 수 있습니다.

나는 도움을 받는 것이 긍정적이고 비효율적인 정신 건강을 유지하는 데 도움이 되었다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 이전에는 처리할 수 없었던 특정 사항을 처리할 수 있게 되었습니다.

네, 지금도 가끔 우울할 때가 있고 집밖으로 나가기조차 싫을 때가 있습니다만, 도움이 되었기에 다른 사람들과 연락을 해서 집밖으로 나가기로 약속을 하고 있습니다. 내 블록을 걷고 있습니다. 그러나 저는 하나님께서 저를 축복해 주신 전문적인 도움에 대해 너무 감사드립니다.

나는 도움이 필요하다는 것을 인정하고 싶어하지 않는 사람들도 있다는 것을 압니다. 저도 그런 사람이었습니다. 정신 건강에 대해 이야기하기 위해 일부 사람들은 그것을 피하고 싶어합니다. 그러나 전에 말했듯이 정신병은 사람의 기분, 생각, 행동에 영향을 미치는 업무상의 질서로 간주됩니다. 그렇습니다. 저도 그런 사람들 중 하나입니다.

정신 질환이라는 용어는 내가 언급한 우울증과 같은 광범위한 장애를 포함하며 정신 분열증까지 포함하지만 이 팟캐스트는 정신 질환이 치료 가능하다는 것을 이해하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

우리의 뇌는 폐의 신장과 같은 물리적 기관이며 우리의 뇌가 질병과 손상에 걸리면 다른 기관과 같습니다. 그러나 우리의 뇌가 우리가 하는 모든 것을 통제한다는 사실을 기억하십시오.

우리의 뇌가 오작동하면 우리의 인식이 왜곡되어 상처를 입히거나 해로운 생각과 행동으로 이어질 수 있습니다. 여러분이 기독교인이라면 저는 기독교인이고 어느 시점에서 PTSD가 하나님과 다른 사람에 대한 제 견해를 왜곡하도록 저를 부릅니다.

그리고 예, 정신 질환은 우리의 죄 많은 본성과 행동에 기여할 수 있습니다. 게으른 마음과 손은 악마의 놀이터라는 옛말을 들어본 적이 있습니까? 정신 질환에는 정신 상태에 기여하는 다양한 요인이 있기 때문에 정신 질환을 명확하게 한다는 것은 의료 전문가가 아직 완전히 이해하지 못하고 있습니다.

이러한 요인은 뇌 이상, 호르몬 불균형, 신경 전달 물질 손상과 같은 신체적 요인일 수 있습니다. 영양, 운동, 수면과 같은 것들도 정신 건강에 영향을 미칩니다. 적절한 약과 내가 받는 적절한 치료법이 이러한 증상을 완화하는 데 도움이 되었다는 것을 알고 있으며, 그것이 당신에게도 도움이 될 수 있다는 것을 알고 있으므로 도움을 받기를 기다리지 마십시오.

우리는 또한 우리의 행동이 신체 건강에 영향을 미치고 신체 건강 피드백이 행동에 반영되는 방식을 고려해야 합니다. 나는 내 건강하지 못한 행동의 시간이 내 몸을 건강하지 않게 만든 문제를 일으키고 차례로 더 건강하지 못한 행동으로 이어진다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 이 주기에서 내가 깨기 매우 어려웠습니다.

때때로 우리 자신의 죄가 정신 질환에 기여합니다. 저는 제 아내와 가족이 저를 하나님의 집 교회로 다시 데려다 줘서 너무 감사합니다. 우리가 정신 질환의 일부 측면을 우회할 수 있는 몇 가지 성경 성경 명령이 있습니다.

여러 요인이 정신 질환에 기여하기 때문에 다층 치료가 가장 좋은 경우가 많습니다. 정신 질환에는 이 설계 및 치료 프로그램에서 자주 고려되지 않는 또 다른 요소가 있다는 것을 알고 계십니까? 우리가 정신 질환이라고 부르는 것의 많은 부분에는 해결되지 않은 상태로 두면 사람을 속박에 가두는 영적 요소도 있습니다.

우리 인간은 영이 있습니다. 왜냐하면 우리는 하나님의 형상대로 창조되었기 때문에 우리는 동물이나 식물의 생명과 다른 생명을 가지고 있음을 의미합니다.. 우리의 삶은 당신과 나의 삶, 우리는 하나님의 삶과 직접적으로 연결되어 있습니다. 행 17:28 우리가 그 안에서 살고 움직이며 존재를 가졌느니라

우리가 하나님과 연결이 끊어지면 온전한 존재로 살 수 없습니다.

이 공허함을 느끼면 자살을 생각한 순간에도 다른 것으로 채우려 했지만 감사하지만 결국은 모든 것이 나에게 실패하고 그것이 정신병에 기여한다는 것을 깨닫습니다.

영적으로 온전해지는 첫걸음은 우리 구주 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 영생을 얻는 것이라고 생각하지만, 때때로 예수 그리스도를 통하여 하나님과 관계를 맺은 사람들도 하나님이 어떤 분이신지 오해하는 때가 있습니다.

그것은 부정적일 수 있고 우리 자신과 다른 사람들에 대한 학대의 부정적인 영향이 될 수 있습니다. 이 COVID 마스크 명령에 대해 생각해보십시오. 바이든은 손에 기침을하고 마스크를 덜 쓰고 대중과 악수를 진행합니다. 바이든은 내각 의원 중 한 명이 COVID-19에 대해 양성 반응을 보인 지 일주일도 되지 않아 마스크 없이 섞였습니다.

BLM 비판적 인종 이론 안티파 동성 매력과 훨씬 더 이것이 오늘날 우리가 살고 있는 세상은 정신 질환에 미치고 추가됩니다.

'교회가 아닙니다': BLM 및 교회 건물 외부의 프라이드 플래그 불꽃 토론 델라웨어주 미들타운에 있는 작은 장로교 교회인 Church on Main은 주말 동안 건물 외부에 BLM 및 Pride 깃발을 거는 것에 대해 온라인 토론을 촉발했습니다.

3 플로리다 십대, 칼과 칼로 살해 된 고등학생의 잔인한 살인 계획, 경찰 한 용의자는 피해자가 전 여자친구와 성관계를 가졌다는 사실에 화가 났다고 경찰이 밝혔다.

개인적으로 저는 코로나19 예방 주사를 맞으라는 명령을 받기보다 먼저 정신 건강을 돌보는 것이 낫다는 것을 알고 있습니다.

죄는 또한 우리의 정신 건강에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 점에서 하나님과의 교제에서 멀어지게 할 수 있습니다. 우리가 하나님과 예수 그리스도와 함께 있을 때 그리고 우리가 하나님과의 교제를 완전히 연구하고 생활할 때 정신 질환을 더 잘 다룰 수 있습니다. 하나님의 진리와 우리는 하나님과의 적극적인 관계를 가지고 있기 때문에 입술만 하는 말이 아니라 하나님과의 적극적인 관계가 필요합니다.

영적인 질병은 종종 정신병의 큰 부분을 차지합니다. 저와 저는 정신병을 앓고 있는 다른 사람들도 있고 영적인 질병으로 고통받는 사람들이 있을 것이라고 확신합니다. 우리의 영이 치유되고 온전해지면 우리의 마음이 명확하게 생각할 수 있습니다. 시편 23:3에서는 우리의 선한 목자가 “내 영혼을 회복”시킨다고 알려 줍니다.

많은 정신 질환이 뇌 이상에 의해 직접적으로 발생하는 반면, 다른 많은 정신 질환은 회복이 필요한 영혼으로 인해 발생합니다. 용서하지 않음(고린도후서 2:10~11), 비통함(히브리서 12:15), 두려움과 불안(빌립보서 4:6~7), 낮은 자존감은 모두 우리 영혼을 불구로 만들 수 있습니다. 우리의 영혼이 상처를 입으면 명확하게 생각할 수 없습니다.

우리는 왜곡된 필터를 통해 모든 삶의 사건을 봅니다. 화창한 날은 우리가 다쳤던 날만 생각나게 합니다. 길을 걷는 행복한 커플의 모습은 아물지 않은 상처에 분노가 치솟는다. 무심코 하는 말, 평범한 삶의 스트레스, 무분별한 치료는 모두 치유되지 않은 영혼을 가진 사람이 정신 질환을 가진 사람처럼 반응하게 만들 수 있습니다. 우리가 계속해서 그러한 잘못된 생각에 굴복할 때, 우리는 우리 자신의 투쟁을 영속시킵니다.

군생활하면서 못본거 많이 봤는데 예수님은 정신병자들을 직접 고치셨지만 다른 사람들의 마귀의 지배를 인정하시고 마귀를 쫓아내셨습니다(예: 막 1:34; 눅 11:14). 거라사인의 악귀는 정신과 의사들이 정신병자라고 부르는 사람이었습니다(마가복음 5:1~20 참조). 그는 통제 불능이었고 용납할 수 없는 방식으로 행동했으며 오늘 우리는 이 사람을 시설에 가둘 것입니다.

그러나 예수님은 진짜 문제에 직접 가셨습니다. 그는 악마 군단에게 그 사람에게서 나오라고 명령했습니다. 그들이 그렇게 한 후에 그 사람은 “제정신이”(15절) 되었습니다. 모든 정신 질환이 마귀의 개입으로 인한 것은 아니지만 오늘날 일종의 마귀의 영향을 경험하고 있는 정신 질환 진단을 받은 사람들이 있을 수 있습니다. 그러한 사람들에게는 주로 예수님께 굴복하는 영적 구원이 필요합니다. 너와 나.

우리가 육신의 병자를 불쌍히 여기는 것과 같이 마음의 병자도 불쌍히 여겨야 합니다(마 14:14). 몸이 아플 때 도움을 구하는 것처럼 생각, 감정, 행동으로 어려움을 겪을 때도 도움을 구해야 합니다. 우리는 다른 사람들의 정신 질환의 특정 원인을 판단할 필요가 없습니다. 오히려 그들을 위해 기도하고 지원해야 합니다(약 5:14).

우리는 정신 질환이 죄나 악마의 영향의 결과라고 가정할 수 없습니다. 그러나 누군가를 도우려고 할 때나 스스로 도움을 구할 때 그러한 가능성을 무시해서는 안 됩니다. 우리는 의학, 정신의학, 지역사회 지원,그리고 교육.

정신 질환의 영적인 측면을 소홀히 하지 않도록 주의해야 합니다. 정신질환을 앓고 있는 사람들에게 하나님의 진리를 전하고, 힘이 닿는 데까지 격려하고, 기도로 지지할 수 있습니다. 정신 질환으로 고생하고 있을 때, 우리는 계속 깨어서 하나님의 진리를 찾고, 기도로 그분께 나아가고, 다른 신자들이 우리의 도움이 필요할 때 우리를 지지할 수 있도록 해야 합니다(고후 1:3-5 , 로마서 12:9~21, 갈라디아서 6:2~10, 요한복음 13:34~35).

나는 나에게 문제가 있다는 것을 알고 있으며 이 잘못된 생각에서 나를 구해달라고 하나님께 요청한 생각에 계속 굴복할 것입니다.

내가 PTSD로 힘들어하고 있기 때문에 하나님께서 이 팟캐스트를 하도록 인도하셨고, 인정하는 것을 두려워하지 않는 더 많은 문제가 있습니다.

나는 예수 그리스도의 피로 씻음을 받은 것이 너무 기쁩니다 나는 세례를 받은 것이 기쁩니다 예수께서 날마다 나를 덮으시는 것을 알게 되어 기쁩니다 하나님의 자녀 이제 나는 매일 많은 천사들이 나를 보호하고 있다는 것을 알게 되어 너무 기쁩니다.

우리는 다시 하나님의 진리를 나눌 필요가 있습니다. 우리가 할 수 있는 한 그들을 격려하고, 정신 질환으로 고생하는 사람이 있을 때 기도로 그들을 지원해야 합니다.

Do not wait to get help

whether you are suffering from stress, loneliness, depression, PTSD, and more, do not wait to get help.

This is no laughing matter. This is a severe condition... if I repeat things over and over it is because at times I do lose my train of thought, please pray for me.

Waiting to get mental help can be costly and, yes, even deadly. Mental health issues are nothing to take lightly. I know I suffer from PTSD. When you hear the term emotional health, what mental illness is the first thing that usually comes into one's mind?

Mental health affects the way one also thinks the way one acts and feels. But with God's help dealing with mental health or mental illness, you can find effective ways to manage the stress it makes choices and relate to other people.

Mental health does not just affect older people. Military personnel law enforcement mental health can affect anyone from a young child two an elderly person in various stages of your life. As I said, I suffer from PTSD and know that mental health issues can affect your behavior. You can have a mood swing in just your thinking can be thrown off.

It took me a while to seek help in a lot of things occurred, I denied that I needed help it could have cost me my marriage or even my life.

It could have caused my kids to push away from me, which did happen at one point. However, I thank God for having the supportive family that made me seek the help I needed.

Several factors can contribute to mental health issues it could be family history life is strange is that includes abuse or some trauma, and yes, it can consist of brain chemistry.

I know for me getting help has helped me to be able to maintain positive ineffective mental health. I have been able to cope with certain things that I was not able to manage before.

Yes, I still experience times of sadness depression at times I do not even want to go outside my house, but because of the help, I am receiving I have made a promise to connect with other people to go out of the house even if it is just walking down my block. But I am so thankful to God for the professional help that he had blessed me to get.

I know that some do not want to admit they need help I was one of those persons. To speak on mental health, some want to shy away from that. However, mental illness as I said before, is considered a business order affecting one's mood, thinking and behavior yes, I know again, I am one of those people.

The term mental illness covers a broad range of disorders like I mentioned depression, it even covers schizophrenia, but this podcast is to help you understand the mental illness is treatable.

Our brain is a physical organ like the lungs kidneys and yes if our brain becomes subject to illness and damage it is just like the other organs are. But remember this our brain controls everything we do,.

and if our brain malfunctions it can distort our perception lead to hurtful or harmful thoughts and actions, and if you are Christian, I am a Christian and I know at one point in time my PTSD calls me to distort my view of God and others.

and yes, mental illness can contribute to our sinful nature and behavior have you heard the old saying an idle mind and hands is the devil's playground. To be clear mental illness is still not fully understood by any medical professional because mental illness has a variety of factors that contributed to the state of mind.

These factors can be physical, such as brain abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and neurotransmitter impairments. Even things like nutrition, exercise, and sleep affect mental health. I know for me that the proper medication and the competent therapy that I receive it has helped me to alleviate these symptoms, and I know it can help you also so do not wait to get help.

We also need to consider the way that our behavior feeds into our physical health and our physical health feedback into our behavior. I know for me that times of my unhealthy behavior has caused issues it had caused my body to be unhealthy in turn lead to more unhealthy behavior, in this cycle was exceedingly difficult for me to break.

Sometimes our own sin contributes to mental illness. I am so thankful that my wife and family got me back into the House of God the church. There are some bible scriptures commands we can bypass some aspects of mental illness there is no better way on how to respond when we do encounter mental illness in ourselves, Romans 12 verse 2

Often, multi-layered treatment is best because multiple factors are contributing to a mental illness.

Do you know that mental illness also has another factor that is not often considered in this design and treatment program, lot of what is called what we call mental illness also has a spiritual component that if it is left unaddressed keeps a person in bondage.

we as human beings have a spirit for we have been created in God's image which means we have a life that is unlike the life of animals or plants. our life yours and mine, we are directly connected to God's life. Acts 17:28 in him we live and move and have our being.

when we but disconnected from God we cannot live as whole beings, yes if you are wondering have, I experienced this indeed I have.

when I had this sense of void, I tried to fill it with other things even at one point in time I thought of suicide, but I am thankful, but I realize that things ultimately fail me, and that contributes to my mental illness.

I believe that the first step to becoming spiritually whole is to receive eternal life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but even those people who have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ at some time have a misperception about who God really is.

that can be negative that can become a negative effect of abuse about ourselves as well as others.

In the world also contribute to mental illness just think about this COVID mask mandates:

Biden coughs into his hand, proceeds to shake hands with the public while mask less

Biden mingled without a mask less than a week after one of his Cabinet members evaluated positive for COVID-19

BLM critical race theory Antifa same-sex attraction and so much more this is the world we live in today is crazy and add to mental illness.

‘It’s Not a Church’: BLM and Pride Flags Outside a Church Building Spark Debate

Church on Main, a small Presbyterian church in Middletown, Delaware, sparked online debate over the weekend for flying BLM and Pride flags on the outside of its building.

3 Florida teens planned brutal murder of high school senior killed with knife and sword, police say

One suspect claimed he was upset that the victim had a sexual relationship with his former girlfriend, police said

I know for me personally, I would rather have my mental health taken care of first than be mandated to get a covid shot.

sin could also get us away from fellowship with God in that can have a negative effect as well on our mental health we are better equipped to handle mental illness when we are in step with God and Jesus Christ and when we are totally researching and living in God's truth and we have an active relationship with him not just doing lip service we need to have its active relationship with God.

spiritual sickness is often a big part of mental illness I am saying that in reference to myself and I am sure there are others who suffer from mental illness and also suffer from spiritual sickness When our spirits are healed and whole, our minds can think clearly. Psalm 23:3 says that our Good Shepherd “restores my soul.”

While many mental illnesses are directly caused by brain abnormalities, many others are due to souls that need restoration. Unforgiveness (2 Corinthians 2:10–11), bitterness (Hebrews 12:15), fear and anxiety (Philippians 4:6–7), and low self-worth can all cripple our souls. When our souls are wounded, we cannot think clearly.

We see every life event through a distorted filter. A sunny day only reminds us of the day we were hurt. The sight of a happy couple walking down the street brings a surge of fury due to an unhealed wound.

Casual remarks, normal life stresses, and inconsiderate treatment can all cause a person with an unhealed soul to react like a person with mental illness. When we continually give in to those wrong thoughts, we perpetuate our own struggles.

I was in the military, and I saw a lot of stuff that I cannot Unsee

While Jesus directly healed people who were considered mentally ill, He also recognized demonic control in others and cast the demons out (e.g., Mark 1:34; Luke 11:14). The demoniac of the Gerasene’s was a man psychiatrists would call mentally ill (see Mark 5:1–20). He was out of control, behaving in unacceptable ways, and today we would confine this man to an institution.

But Jesus went directly to the real problem. He ordered the legion of demons to come out of the man. After they did, the man was “in his right mind” (verse 15). While not all mental illness is due to demonic involvement, there may be people diagnosed with mental illness today who are experiencing some sort of demonic influence.

Such people need, primarily, the spiritual deliverance that surrenders to Jesus would offer them. You and me.

Just as we have compassion for those who are physically ill, we must also have compassion for those who are mentally ill (Matthew 14:14). Just as we seek help when we are physically ill, we should also seek help when we are struggling with our thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. We need not judge the specific cause of mental illnesses in others; rather, we are to pray for them and offer support (James 5:14).

We cannot assume that a mental illness is a result of sin or demonic influence; however, we should not ignore those possibilities when trying to help someone or when seeking help ourselves.

We have many tools to help with the treatment of mental illness, including medicine, psychiatry, community support, and education.

We need to be careful not to neglect the spiritual aspect of mental illness. We can share the truth of God with those struggling with mental illness, encourage them as we are able, and support them in prayer.

When we’re struggling with mental illness, we need to be vigilant to continue to seek out God’s truth, to come to Him in prayer, and to allow other believers to support us in our time of need (2 Corinthians 1:3–5; Romans 12:9–21; Galatians 6:2–10; John 13:34–35).

I know for me I had issues and I would continue to give in to those thoughts I asked God to deliver me from these wrong thoughts to deliver me from this mental illness call PTSD in to deliver me from my own struggles.

God led me to do this podcast because I am struggling with PTSD, and I have many more issues I am not afraid to admit it, but I have an incredibly supportive family and a supportive church but most of all I have Jesus.

I am so glad that I've been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ I'm glad that I've been baptized I'm glad that I noted Jesus covers me day in and day out I am so glad that I'm a child of God now I'm so glad that I know that there's a multitude of angels around me protecting me every day.

we again need to share the truth of God we need to encourage them as we can do so and support them in prayer when anyone struggling with mental illness.

누가 누구에게 그들의 의제를 강요하는가?

주님은 어떤 사람들이 더디다고 생각하는 것처럼 그의 약속에 대해 더디지 않으십니다. 오직 우리를 위하여 오래 참으사 아무도 멸망치 않고 다 회개하기에 이르기를 원하시느니라 베드로후서 3:9 KJV

우리는 기독교인들이 예수 그리스도의 구원의 은혜를 그들에게 강요하려 한다는 것을 여러 번 들었습니다. 그리고 현실은 복음의 좋은 소식을 전하려는 것뿐입니다. 예수님은 마태복음, 마가복음, 누가복음 전반에 걸쳐 “귀 있는 자는 들을지어다”라고 여러 번 말씀하셨습니다. 이것은 "이봐, 모두 잘 들어"에 대한 일반적인 진술이 아니라 사람들이 주의를 기울일 것을 촉구하는 것입니다. 마태복음 11:15 개역개정판 (KJV) 들을 귀 있는 자는 들을지어다 이제 우리는 지도자와 언론을 가지고 있으며 심지어 일부 종교 지도자들이 미국인들에게 명령을 강요하고 있습니다. 문화, BLM, CRT, ANTIFA, 동성애 취소 그러나 공개적으로 기독교인 플레이어가 그리스도를 공경하기로 선택했을 때 그는 비판을 받았습니다. 이제 게이 배트 우먼, 양성애자 슈퍼맨, 많은 TV 쇼에 게이 장면이 너무 많습니다. 성경은 동성애 행위가 죄라고 분명하고 일관되게 선언합니다(창세기 19:1-13; 레위기 18:22; 20:13; 로마서 1:26-27; 고린도전서 6:9; 디모데전서 1:10). 또한 게이 쇼가 너무 많으니 직접 찾아보십시오. 그들은 이것이 획기적인 것이라고 말하지만 기독교 쇼는 다른 사람들에게 종교를 강요하려고합니다. 그렇다면 이 나라가 세속적인 사상으로 형성되었다고 정말로 생각하는 사람들이 많이 있습니다. 아, 그런데 가족 중에 동성애자인 가족이 있습니다. 예, 저는 그들을 돌봅니다. 그들의 생활 방식에 동의하지 않을 뿐입니다. 당신은 동성애자로 태어날 수 없습니다. 1996년에 게이 및 레즈비언 잡지인 The Advocate는 독자들에게 과학적 발견이 동성애에 대한 생물학적 근거를 증명할 경우 게이 및 레즈비언 권리의 발전에 잠재적인 영향이 무엇이라고 생각하는지 질문했습니다. 잡지 독자의 약 61%는 그러한 과학적 연구가 게이와 레즈비언의 원인을 발전시키고 동성애에 대한 보다 긍정적인 태도로 이어질 것이라고 주장했습니다. 예를 들어, 사람이 게이로 태어날 수 있고 갈색 눈을 가지고 태어날 수 있는 것처럼 공정한 사회는 그를 부자연스럽거나 부도덕하다고 비난할 수 없습니다. 이를 위해 동성애 운동가와 자유 언론은 동성애가 유전되고 변하지 않는다는 생각을 적극적으로 장려했으며 연구자들은 그 주장을 뒷받침할 과학적 증거를 부지런히 찾았습니다. 불행하게도 친동성애 운동에 대해 이 주제에 대한 연구는 동성애에 대한 순전히 유전적 근거를 보여주는 과학적 증거를 확립하는 데 실패했습니다. 고린도전서 6장 9-10절에서 동성애의 죄는 도둑질 바로 옆에 나열되어 있습니다. 도둑질에 유전적인 변명이 없듯이 동성애에도 유전적인 변명이 없습니다. 환경, 문화, 선택이 사람을 도둑으로 만들고, 같은 요소가 사람을 동성애자로 만듭니다.

그러면 하나님과 예수님은 모든 사람을 사랑하신다고 말함으로써 동성애를 정당화하려고 하는 사람들이 있을 것입니다. 그렇습니다. 그렇습니다. 하지만 그렇다고 해서 그들이 자신의 생활 방식에 동의한다는 의미는 아닙니다. 예수님이 성전에서 도둑을 쫓아냈을 때를 생각해 보십시오. 마태복음 21:12-13 킹 제임스 버전 12 예수께서 하나님의 성전에 들어가사 성전 안에서 매매하는 자들을 다 내쫓으시며 돈 바꾸는 자들의 상과 비둘기 파는 자들의 의자를 둘러엎으시며 13 그들에게 이르시되 기록된 바 내 집은 기도하는 집이라 일컬음을 받으리라 하였느니라 그러나 너희는 그것을 도둑의 소굴로 만들었다. 소돔과 고모라를 생각해 보십시오. 하나님은 의인 몇 명을 위해 자비롭게도 그 도시들을 기꺼이 용서하셨지만 그곳에는 아무도 살지 않았습니다. 성경은 그 주민들이 모두 타락했다고 말합니다. 소돔과 고모라 시대처럼 거짓말과 도둑질, 음란물, 마약, 불법 섹스, 폭력에 이르기까지 오늘날 사회에도 악이 도처에 도사리고 있습니다. 하나님은 우리의 사악한 문화에 영향을 받지 않고 구별된 거룩한 백성으로 우리를 부르셨습니다. 죄에는 항상 결과가 따르므로 죄와 하나님의 진노를 진지하게 받아들여야 합니다. 성경이 동성애에 관해 무엇이라고 말하는지 조사할 때 동성애 행동과 동성애 성향 또는 매력을 구별하는 것이 중요합니다. 능동적인 죄와 시험을 받는 수동적인 상태의 차이입니다. 동성애 행위는 죄악이지만 성경은 결코 유혹을 받는 것이 죄라고 말하지 않습니다. 간단히 말해서, 유혹과의 싸움은 죄로 이어질 수 있지만, 그 싸움 자체는 죄가 아닙니다.

로마서 1:26-27은 동성애가 하나님을 부인하고 불순종한 결과라고 가르칩니다. 사람들이 계속해서 죄와 불신앙 가운데 있을 때, 하나님은 더욱 사악하고 타락한 죄에 “그들을 내버려 두어”, 그들에게 하나님을 떠나는 삶의 헛됨과 절망을 보여 주십니다. 하나님께 대한 반역의 열매 중 하나는 동성애입니다. 고린도전서 6장 9절은 동성애를 행하여 하나님의 창조 질서를 어기는 자는 구원을 받지 못한다고 선언합니다.

사람은 동성애에 더 취약하게 태어날 수 있습니다.y, 어떤 사람들은 폭력과 다른 죄의 경향을 가지고 태어난 것처럼. 그렇다고 해서 그 사람이 죄짓는 욕망에 굴복하여 죄를 짓기로 선택한 것이 변명되는 것은 아닙니다. 사람이 분노에 더 잘 감수성을 가지고 태어났다고 해서 그 욕망에 굴복하고 모든 도발에 폭발하는 것은 옳지 않습니다. 동성애에 대한 감수성도 마찬가지입니다.

우리의 성향이나 매력에 상관없이 우리는 예수님을 십자가에 못 박은 바로 그 죄로 우리 자신을 계속 정의할 수 없으며 동시에 우리가 하나님과 옳다고 가정할 수 없습니다. 바울은 고린도 사람들이 한때 행했던 많은 죄들을 나열합니다(동성애가 목록에 있습니다). 그러나 고린도전서 6장 11절에서 그는 그들에게 이렇게 상기시킵니다. 그러나 주 예수 그리스도의 이름과 우리 하나님의 영으로 씻음과 거룩함과 의롭다 하심을 얻었느니라”(강조 추가). 다시 말해, 몇몇 고린도 사람들은 구원받기 전에 동성애 생활을 했습니다. 그러나 예수님의 정결케 하는 능력에 너무 큰 죄는 없습니다. 일단 깨끗해지면 우리는 더 이상 죄로 정의되지 않습니다.

동성애적 끌림의 문제는 그것이 하나님이 금하신 것에 대한 끌림이며, 죄에 대한 모든 욕망은 궁극적으로 죄에 뿌리를 두고 있다는 것입니다. 죄의 만연한 본성은 우리로 하여금 왜곡된 관점을 통해 세상과 우리 자신의 행동을 보게 합니다. 우리의 생각, 욕망, 성품이 모두 영향을 받습니다. 따라서 동성애에 대한 끌림이 항상 능동적이고 고의적인 죄로 이어지는 것은 아닙니다. 의식적으로 죄를 지을 수는 없습니다. 그러나 그것은 죄의 본성에서 비롯됩니다. 동성에게 끌리는 것은 항상 어떤 기본적인 수준에서 타락한 본성의 표현입니다.

죄 많은 세상에 사는 죄 많은 인간으로서(롬 3:23) 우리는 연약함과 유혹과 죄의 유혹에 시달리고 있습니다. 우리 세상은 동성애를 하려는 유혹을 포함하여 미끼와 함정으로 가득 차 있습니다.

동성애 행위에 참여하려는 유혹은 많은 사람들에게 매우 현실적입니다. 동성애에 대한 끌림과 씨름하는 사람들은 종종 상황이 달랐으면 하는 몇 년 동안 고통을 겪었다고 보고합니다. 사람들은 자신이 느끼는 방식이나 감정을 항상 통제할 수는 없지만 그러한 감정으로 무엇을 하는지는 통제할 수 있습니다(벧전 1:5-8). 우리 모두는 유혹을 물리칠 책임이 있습니다(엡 6:13). 우리는 모두 마음을 새롭게 함으로 변화를 받아야 합니다(롬 12:2). 우리는 모두 “육체의 소욕을 만족케”(갈라디아서 5:16)하지 않도록 “성령을 좇아 행”해야 합니다.

마지막으로, 성경은 동성애를 다른 어떤 죄보다 “더 큰” 죄로 묘사하지 않습니다. 모든 죄는 하나님을 모욕하는 것입니다. 어떤 종류의 죄가 우리를 얽매고 있든 그리스도가 없으면 우리는 길을 잃습니다. 성경에 따르면 하나님의 용서는 간음자, 우상숭배자, 살인자, 도적질과 같이 동성애자에게도 가능합니다. 하나님은 예수 그리스도를 믿고 구원을 받는 모든 사람들에게 동성애를 포함하여 죄를 이기는 힘을 약속하십니다(고전 6:11, 고후 5:17, 빌 4:13).

우리 모두는 회개하도록 부름 받았습니다. 많은 사람들이 회개라는 용어를 “죄에서 돌이키는 것”을 의미하는 것으로 이해합니다. 죄를 뉘우치고 돌이키는 것은 회개와 관련이 있지만 정확한 뜻은 아닙니다. 성경에서 회개라는 단어는 “마음을 바꾸다”를 의미합니다. 성경은 또한 진정한 회개는 행동의 변화를 가져올 것이라고 말합니다(눅 3:8-14, 행 3:19). 바울은 자신의 사역을 요약하면서 “회개하고 하나님께로 돌아와서 행위로 회개함을 나타내라 내가 전파하였노라”(행 26:20)고 선언합니다. 회개에 대한 완전한 성경적 정의는 행동의 변화를 초래하는 마음의 변화입니다.

그러면 회개와 구원의 관계는 무엇입니까? 사도행전은 특히 구원과 관련된 회개에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다(행 2:38, 3:19, 11:18, 17:30, 20:21, 26:20). 구원과 관련하여 회개한다는 것은 죄와 예수 그리스도에 대한 생각을 바꾸는 것입니다. 오순절 날 베드로의 설교(행 2장)에서 그는 사람들에게 회개하라고 외치는 것으로 끝맺습니다(행 2:38). 무엇으로부터 회개합니까? 베드로는 예수님을 거절한 사람들(행 2:36)에게 그 죄에 대한 생각을 바꾸고 그리스도께서 참으로 “주와 그리스도”(행 2:36)임을 인정하고 그리스도 자신에 대한 생각을 바꾸라고 부르고 있습니다. 베드로는 사람들에게 마음을 바꾸고 과거에 그리스도를 거부한 것을 싫어하며 그분을 메시야이자 구세주로 믿는 믿음을 받아들이도록 촉구하고 있습니다.

회개는 과거에 잘못 생각했다는 것을 인식하고 미래에 올바르게 생각하기로 결심하는 것을 포함합니다. 회개하는 사람은 이전에 수용했던 사고 방식에 대해 “다시 생각”합니다. 하나님과 죄와 거룩함과 하나님의 뜻을 행하는 것에 대한 성품의 변화와 새로운 생각이 있습니다. 진정한 회개는 “하나님의 뜻대로 하는 근심”에 의해 유발되며, 그것은 “구원에 이르게”(고후 7:10) 합니다.

회개와 믿음은 동전의 양면으로 이해될 수 있습니다. 예수 그리스도를 구주로 믿는 것은 불가능합니다.먼저 당신의 죄와 예수가 누구이며 그가 행하신 일에 대해 마음을 바꾸지 마십시오. 고의적인 거절에 대한 회개든 무지와 무관심에 대한 회개든 그것은 마음의 변화입니다. 구원과 관련된 성경적 회개는 당신의 마음을 그리스도를 거부하는 것에서 그리스도를 믿는 믿음으로 바꾸는 것입니다.

회개는 구원을 얻기 위해 우리가 하는 일이 아닙니다. 하나님이 그 사람을 자기에게로 인도하지 아니하시면 아무도 회개하고 하나님께 나아갈 수 없습니다(요 6:44). 회개는 하나님께서 주시는 것입니다. 그것은 오직 그분의 은혜 때문에 가능합니다(행 5:31; 11:18). 하나님께서 회개를 허락하지 않으시면 아무도 회개할 수 없습니다. 회개와 믿음을 포함한 모든 구원은 하나님께서 우리를 이끄시고 눈을 뜨게 하시고 마음을 변화시키신 결과입니다. 하나님의 오래 참으심이 우리를 회개로 이끕니다(벧후 3:9). 그분의 인자하심(롬 2:4)도 마찬가지입니다.

회개는 구원을 얻는 행위가 아니지만 구원에 이르는 회개는 행위를 낳는다. 행동의 변화를 일으키지 않고 마음을 진정으로 바꾸는 것은 불가능합니다. 성경에서 회개는 행동의 변화를 가져온다. 그래서 세례 요한은 사람들에게 “회개에 합당한 열매를 맺으라”(마태복음 3:8)라고 했습니다. 자신의 죄를 진정으로 회개하고 그리스도를 믿는 신앙을 행사한 사람은 변화된 삶의 증거를 제시할 것입니다(고후 5:17, 갈라디아서 5:19-23, 약 2:14-26).

실제 생활에서 회개가 어떤 모습인지 보려면 삭개오의 이야기를 살펴보기만 하면 됩니다. 여기 속임수와 도적질을 하고 부당한 이익을 위해 아낌없이 살다가 예수님을 만나기까지 한 사람이 있었습니다. 그 시점에서 그는 마음이 근본적으로 바뀌었습니다. “주님, 보십시오!” 삭개오가 말했다. “내 소유의 반을 가난한 자들에게 지금 여기에서 주노라 만일 남의 것을 속여 빼앗은 일이 있으면 네 갑절로 갚겠다”(눅 19:8). 예수께서는 삭개오의 집에 구원이 이르렀고 세리조차도 이제 “아브라함의 자손”(9절)이 되었다고 기쁜 소식을 선포하셨습니다. 이것은 삭개오의 믿음을 나타냅니다. 사기꾼은 자선가가되었습니다. 도둑은 배상을 했다. 그것은 그리스도를 믿는 믿음과 결합된 회개입니다.

적절하게 정의된 회개는 구원에 필요합니다. 성경적인 회개는 당신의 죄에 대한 당신의 마음을 변화시키고 있습니다. 더 이상 죄는 가지고 놀만한 것이 아닙니다. 그것은 우리가 “다가오는 진노를 피하여”(마태복음 3:7) 버려야 할 것입니다. 그것은 또한 예수 그리스도에 대한 당신의 마음을 변화시키고 있습니다. 더 이상 그분은 조롱당하거나 무시당하거나 무시당하지 않으십니다. 그분은 매달릴 구세주이십니다. 그분은 경배와 경배의 대상이 되시는 주님이십니다. 자원: 질문이 있는 웹사이트-설교중앙 웹사이트 조심 세계 플러드게이트 프로덕션 회개하고 믿으십시오 비디오 일러스트레이션 12:30 미디어 제작 먼저 하나님 비디오 일러스트레이션 12:30 미디어 제작

¿Quién está imponiendo su agenda a quién?

El Señor no se demora en cuanto a su promesa, como algunos hombres la consideran negligencia; pero es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento.

2 Pedro 3: 9 RV

Muchas veces, hemos escuchado que los cristianos estaban tratando de imponerles la gracia salvadora de Jesucristo.

Y la realidad solo trata de compartir las buenas nuevas del evangelio. Jesús dijo muchas veces a lo largo de los evangelios de Mateo, Marcos y Lucas: "El que tiene oídos, oiga".

Esta no es solo una declaración genérica de "hey, todos escuchen", él está pidiendo a la gente que preste mucha atención. Mateo 11:15 Versión Reina Valera (RV) El que tiene oídos para oír, oiga

Ahora tenemos líderes [startSpeech r = Slow startSpeech] [endSpeech] y los medios de comunicación e incluso algunos supuestos líderes religiosos están imponiendo mandatos al pueblo estadounidense, cancelan la cultura, BLM, CRT, ANTIFA, la homosexualidad, parece que ahora se está alabando la homosexualidad en todas partes. como se mencionó en un juego de fútbol sobre el jugador abiertamente gay, pero cuando un jugador abiertamente cristiano eligió honrar a Cristo, fue criticado, ahora hay una batwoman gay, un superman bisexual, tantas escenas gay en muchos programas de televisión.

La Biblia declara clara y consistentemente que la actividad homosexual es un pecado (Génesis 19: 1-13; Levítico 18:22; 20:13; Romanos 1: 26-27; 1 Corintios 6: 9; 1 Timoteo 1:10).

Además, hay tantos programas gay, búsquelo usted mismo. Dicen que esto es innovador, pero un programa cristiano está tratando de imponer la religión a los demás.

Luego tenemos muchos que realmente piensan que esta nación se formó sobre ideas seculares. Ah, por cierto, tengo familiares que son homosexuales:

sí, me preocupo por ellos, simplemente no estoy de acuerdo con su estilo de vida. No puedes nacer gay: en 1996, The Advocate, una revista para gays y lesbianas, preguntó a los lectores cuál creían que sería el impacto potencial para el avance de los derechos de gays y lesbianas si un descubrimiento científico prueba una base biológica para la homosexualidad.

Alrededor del 61 por ciento de los lectores de la revista afirmó que tal investigación científica promovería la causa de los gays y lesbianas y conduciría a actitudes más positivas hacia la homosexualidad. Por ejemplo, si uno puede nacer gay, tanto como puede nacer con ojos marrones, entonces una sociedad justa no podría condenarlo por ser antinatural o inmoral.

Con ese fin, los activistas homosexuales y los medios liberales han alentado activamente la idea de que la homosexualidad es heredada e inmutable, y los investigadores han buscado diligentemente evidencia científica para respaldar esa afirmación.

Desafortunadamente para el movimiento pro-homosexualidad, la investigación sobre este tema no ha logrado establecer ninguna evidencia científica que muestre una base puramente genética para la homosexualidad.

En 1 Corintios 6: 9-10, el pecado de la homosexualidad se enumera junto al robo. Así como no existe una excusa genética para robar, tampoco existe una excusa genética para la homosexualidad. El entorno, la cultura y la elección hacen que uno sea un ladrón, y los mismos factores hacen que uno sea homosexual.

Luego tendrás a aquellos que tratarán de justificar su homosexualidad diciendo que Dios y Jesús ama a todos, sí, esto es cierto, pero eso no significa que estén de acuerdo con el estilo de vida de uno, piensa en cuando Jesús echó a los ladrones del templo.

Mateo 21: 12-13 Versión King James

12 Y entró Jesús en el templo de Dios, y echó fuera a todos los que vendían y compraban en el templo, y volcó las mesas de los cambistas y los asientos de los que vendían palomas,

13 Y les dijo: Escrito está: Mi casa, casa de oración será llamada; pero vosotros la habéis convertido en cueva de ladrones.

Piense en Sodoma y Gomorra: Dios estuvo misericordiosamente dispuesto a perdonar las ciudades por el bien de unas pocas personas justas, pero ninguna vivía allí. La Biblia nos dice que todos los habitantes fueron depravados. Como en la época de Sodoma y Gomorra, el mal nos rodea en la sociedad actual, desde la mentira y el robo hasta la pornografía, las drogas, el sexo ilícito y la violencia. Dios nos llama a ser personas santas apartadas, no influenciadas por nuestra cultura malvada. El pecado siempre tiene consecuencias, y debes tomar el pecado y la ira de Dios en serio.

Al examinar lo que dice la Biblia sobre la homosexualidad, es importante distinguir entre el comportamiento homosexual y las inclinaciones o atracciones homosexuales. Es la diferencia entre el pecado activo y la condición pasiva de ser tentado. El comportamiento homosexual es pecaminoso, pero la Biblia nunca dice que sea pecado ser tentado. En pocas palabras, una lucha contra la tentación puede conducir al pecado, pero la lucha en sí misma no es un pecado.

Romanos 1: 26-27 enseña que la homosexualidad es el resultado de negar y desobedecer a Dios. Cuando las personas continúan en el pecado y la incredulidad, Dios “los entrega” a un pecado aún más perverso y depravado para mostrarles la futilidad y desesperanza de la vida sin Dios. Uno de los frutos de la rebelión contra Dios es la homosexualidad. Primera de Corintios 6: 9 proclama que aquellos que practican la homosexualidad y, por lo tanto, transgreden el orden creado por Dios, no son salvos.

Un person puede nacer con una mayor susceptibilidad a la homosexualidad, así como algunas personas nacen con tendencia a la violencia y otros pecados. Eso no excusa que la persona elija pecar al ceder a los deseos pecaminosos. El hecho de que una persona nazca con una mayor susceptibilidad a los ataques de ira no significa que sea correcto que ceda a esos deseos y explote ante cada provocación. Lo mismo ocurre con la susceptibilidad a la homosexualidad.

Independientemente de nuestras inclinaciones o atracciones, no podemos seguir definiéndonos por los mismos pecados que crucificaron a Jesús y, al mismo tiempo, asumir que estamos bien con Dios. Pablo enumera muchos de los pecados que alguna vez practicaron los corintios (la homosexualidad está en la lista).

Pero en 1 Corintios 6:11, les recuerda: “Eso es lo que eran algunos de ustedes. Pero ustedes fueron lavados, fueron santificados, fueron justificados en el nombre del Señor Jesucristo y por el Espíritu de nuestro Dios ”(énfasis agregado). En otras palabras, algunos de los corintios, antes de ser salvos, vivían estilos de vida homosexuales; pero ningún pecado es demasiado grande para el poder purificador de Jesús. Una vez limpios, ya no estamos definidos por el pecado.

El problema con la atracción homosexual es que es una atracción por algo que Dios ha prohibido, y cualquier deseo por algo pecaminoso tiene sus raíces en el pecado. La naturaleza omnipresente del pecado nos hace ver el mundo y nuestras propias acciones a través de una perspectiva distorsionada. Nuestros pensamientos, deseos y disposiciones se ven afectados. Entonces, la atracción homosexual no siempre resulta en un pecado activo y voluntario — puede que no haya una elección consciente de pecar — pero surge de la naturaleza pecaminosa. La atracción hacia el mismo sexo es siempre, en algún nivel básico, una expresión de la naturaleza caída.

Como seres humanos pecadores que vivimos en un mundo pecaminoso (Romanos 3:23), estamos acosados por debilidades, tentaciones e inducciones al pecado. Nuestro mundo está lleno de señuelos y trampas, incluida la tentación para practicar la homosexualidad.

La tentación de tener un comportamiento homosexual es muy real para muchos. Aquellos que luchan con la atracción homosexual a menudo informan haber sufrido durante años de desear que las cosas fueran diferentes. Es posible que las personas no siempre puedan controlar cómo o qué sienten, pero pueden controlar lo que hacen con esos sentimientos (1 Pedro 1: 5-8). Todos tenemos la responsabilidad de resistir la tentación (Efesios 6:13). Todos debemos ser transformados mediante la renovación de nuestras mentes (Romanos 12: 2). Todos debemos “andar por el Espíritu” para no “satisfacer los deseos de la carne” (Gálatas 5:16).

Finalmente, la Biblia no describe la homosexualidad como un pecado "mayor" que cualquier otro. Todo pecado es ofensivo para Dios. Sin Cristo, estamos perdidos, sea cual sea el tipo de pecado que nos haya enredado. Según la Biblia, el perdón de Dios está disponible para el homosexual al igual que para el adúltero, adorador de ídolos, asesino y ladrón. Dios promete la fuerza para la victoria sobre el pecado, incluida la homosexualidad, a todos aquellos que crean en Jesucristo para su salvación (1 Corintios 6:11; 2 Corintios 5:17; Filipenses 4:13).

Todos estamos llamados a arrepentirnos: Muchos entienden que el término arrepentimiento significa "un apartarse del pecado". Lamentar el pecado y apartarse de él está relacionado con el arrepentimiento, pero no es el significado preciso de la palabra. En la Biblia, la palabra arrepentirse significa "cambiar de opinión". La Biblia también nos dice que el verdadero arrepentimiento resultará en un cambio de acciones (Lucas 3: 8-14; Hechos 3:19). Al resumir su ministerio, Pablo declara: “Prediqué que debían arrepentirse y volverse a Dios y demostrar su arrepentimiento con sus obras” (Hechos 26:20). La definición bíblica completa de arrepentimiento es un cambio de mentalidad que resulta en un cambio de acción.

Entonces, ¿cuál es la conexión entre el arrepentimiento y la salvación? El libro de los Hechos se enfoca especialmente en el arrepentimiento con respecto a la salvación (Hechos 2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). Arrepentirse, en relación con la salvación, es cambiar de opinión con respecto al pecado y a Jesucristo. En el sermón de Pedro el día de Pentecostés (Hechos capítulo 2), concluye con un llamado al pueblo al arrepentimiento (Hechos 2:38). ¿Arrepentirse de qué? Pedro está llamando a las personas que rechazaron a Jesús (Hechos 2:36) a cambiar de opinión acerca de ese pecado y a cambiar de opinión acerca de Cristo mismo, reconociendo que Él es en verdad “Señor y Cristo” (Hechos 2:36). Pedro está llamando a la gente a cambiar de opinión, a aborrecer su rechazo pasado de Cristo y a abrazar la fe en Él como Mesías y Salvador.

El arrepentimiento implica reconocer que ha pensado mal en el pasado y decidir pensar correctamente en el futuro. La persona arrepentida tiene "dudas" acerca de la mentalidad que antes abrazó. Hay un cambio de disposición y una nueva forma de pensar sobre Dios, sobre el pecado, sobre la santidad y sobre hacer la voluntad de Dios. El verdadero arrepentimiento es impulsado por el “dolor según Dios” y “conduce a la salvación” (2 Corintios 7:10).

El arrepentimiento y la fe pueden entenderse como dos caras de la misma moneda. IEs imposible poner su fe en Jesucristo como el Salvador sin antes cambiar de opinión acerca de su pecado y acerca de quién es Jesús y lo que ha hecho. Ya sea arrepentimiento por rechazo deliberado o arrepentimiento por ignorancia o desinterés, es un cambio de opinión. El arrepentimiento bíblico, en relación con la salvación, es cambiar tu mente del rechazo de Cristo a la fe en Cristo.

El arrepentimiento no es una obra que hacemos para ganarnos la salvación. Nadie puede arrepentirse y venir a Dios a menos que Dios atraiga a esa persona hacia sí mismo (Juan 6:44). El arrepentimiento es algo que Dios da; solo es posible gracias a Su gracia (Hechos 5:31; 11:18). Nadie puede arrepentirse a menos que Dios conceda el arrepentimiento. Toda la salvación, incluido el arrepentimiento y la fe, es el resultado de que Dios nos atrae, nos abre los ojos y cambia el corazón. La paciencia de Dios nos lleva al arrepentimiento (2 Pedro 3: 9), al igual que Su bondad (Romanos 2: 4).

Si bien el arrepentimiento no es una obra que gana la salvación, el arrepentimiento para salvación resulta en obras. Es imposible cambiar realmente de opinión sin que eso provoque un cambio en la acción. En la Biblia, el arrepentimiento resulta en un cambio de comportamiento. Por eso Juan el Bautista llamó a la gente a “producir frutos dignos de arrepentimiento” (Mateo 3: 8). Una persona que se ha arrepentido verdaderamente de su pecado y ha ejercido fe en Cristo dará evidencia de una vida cambiada (2 Corintios 5:17; Gálatas 5: 19-23; Santiago 2: 14-26).

Para ver cómo se ve el arrepentimiento en la vida real, todo lo que tenemos que hacer es volver a la historia de Zaqueo. Aquí estaba un hombre que engañó y robó y vivió generosamente de sus ganancias mal habidas, hasta que conoció a Jesús. En ese momento tuvo un cambio radical de opinión: "¡Mira, Señor!" dijo Zaqueo. “Aquí y ahora doy la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres, y si he estafado a alguien, le devolveré cuatro veces la cantidad” (Lucas 19: 8). Jesús proclamó felizmente que la salvación había llegado a la casa de Zaqueo, y que incluso el recaudador de impuestos era ahora "un hijo de Abraham" (versículo 9), una referencia a la fe de Zaqueo. El tramposo se convirtió en filántropo; el ladrón hizo restitución. Eso es arrepentimiento, junto con fe en Cristo.

El arrepentimiento, correctamente definido, es necesario para la salvación. El arrepentimiento bíblico es cambiar de opinión acerca de su pecado; el pecado ya no es algo con lo que jugar; es algo que debemos abandonar cuando “huimos de la ira venidera” (Mateo 3: 7). También es cambiar de opinión acerca de Jesucristo: ya no debe ser burlado, despreciado o ignorado; Él es el Salvador al que debemos aferrarnos; Él es el Señor para ser adorado y adorado.

Who is forcing their agenda on who?

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. 2 Peter 3:9 KJV

So many times, we have heard that Christians were trying to force the saving grace of Jesus Christ on them. And reality just trying to share the good news of the gospel. Jesus said many times throughout the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, “He who has ears, let him hear.” This is not just some generic statement for “hey, everybody listen up”, he is calling for people to take careful heed. Matthew 11:15 King James Version (KJV) He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Now we have leaders and the media and even some alleged religious leaders are forcing mandates on the American people, cancel culture, BLM, CRT, ANTIFA, Homosexuality it appears now that everywhere homosexually is being praised as mentioned in a football game about the openly gay player, but when an openly Christian player choose to honor Christ, he was criticized, now there is a gay batwoman, a bisexual superman, so many gay scenes in many tv shows.

The Bible clearly and consistently declares that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1–13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10).

Also, so many gay shows, look it up for yourself. They say this is groundbreaking, but a Christian show is trying to force religion on others wow. Then we have many that really think this nation was formed on secular ideas. Oh, by the way, I have family members that are gay: yes, I care for them I just do not agree with their lifestyle.

You can not be born gay: In 1996, The Advocate, a gay and lesbian magazine, asked readers what they believed the potential impact would be to the advancement of gay and lesbian rights if a scientific discovery proves a biological basis for homosexuality.

About 61 percent of the magazine’s readers asserted that such scientific research would advance the cause of gays and lesbians and lead to more positive attitudes toward homosexuality. For example, if one can be born gay, much as one can be born with brown eyes, then a fair society could not possibly condemn him as being unnatural or immoral.

To that end, gay activists and the liberal media have actively encouraged the idea that homosexuality is inherited and unchangeable, and researchers have diligently sought scientific evidence to back up that claim. Unfortunately for the pro-homosexuality movement, the research on this subject has failed to establish any scientific evidence that shows a purely genetic basis for homosexuality.

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, the sin of homosexuality is listed right next to theft. Just as there is no genetic excuse for stealing, there is no genetic excuse for homosexuality. Environment, culture, and choice make one a thief, and the same factors make one a homosexual.

Then you will have those that will try to justify their gayness by saying God and Jesus loves everyone, yes this is true but that does not mean that they agree with one’s lifestyle, think about when Jesus chased the thieves out of the temple.

Matthew 21:12-13 King James Version 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Think about Sodom and Gomorrah: God was mercifully willing to spare the cities for the sake of a few righteous people, but none lived there.

The Bible tells us all the inhabitants were depraved. At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, evil is all around us in today's society, from lying and stealing to pornography, drugs, illicit sex, and violence. God calls us to be holy people set apart, not influenced by our wicked culture. Sin always has consequences, and you should take sin and God's wrath seriously. When examining what the Bible says about homosexuality, it is important to distinguish between homosexual behavior and homosexual inclinations or attractions. It is the difference between active sin and the passive condition of being tempted. Homosexual behavior is sinful, but the Bible never says it is a sin to be tempted. Simply stated, a struggle with temptation may lead to sin, but the struggle itself is not a sin.

Romans 1:26–27 teaches that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When people continue in sin and unbelief, God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. One of the fruits of rebellion against God is homosexuality. First Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that those who practice homosexuality and therefore transgress God’s created order, are not saved.

A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as some people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person’s choosing to sin by giving in to sinful desires. Just because a person is born with a greater susceptibility to fits of rage, that doesn’t make it right for him to give in to those desires and explode at every provocation. The same is true with a susceptibility to homosexuality.

No matter our proclivities or attractions, we cannot continue to define ourselves by the very sins that crucified Jesus—and at the same time assume we are right with God. Paul lists many of the sins that the Corinthians once practiced (homosexuality is on the list). But in 1 Corinthians 6:11, he reminds them,

“That is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (emphasis added). In other words, some of the Corinthians, before they were saved, lived homosexual lifestyles; but no sin is too great for the cleansing power of Jesus. Once cleansed, we are no longer defined by sin.

The problem with homosexual attraction is that it is an attraction to something God has forbidden, and any desire for something sinful ultimately has its roots in sin. The pervasive nature of sin causes us to see the world and our own actions through a warped perspective. Our thoughts, desires, and dispositions are all affected. So, homosexual attraction does not always result in active, willful sin—there may not be a conscious choice to sin—but it springs from the sinful nature. Same-sex attraction is always, on some basic level, an expression of the fallen nature.

As sinful human beings living in a sinful world (Romans 3:23), we are beset with weaknesses, temptations, and inducements to sin. Our world is filled with lures and entrapments, including the enticement to practice homosexuality.

The temptation to engage in homosexual behavior is very real to many. Those who struggle with homosexual attraction often report suffering through years of wishing things were different. People may not always be able to control how or what they feel, but they can control what they do with those feelings (1 Peter 1:5–8). We all have the responsibility to resist temptation (Ephesians 6:13). We must all be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). We must all “walk by the Spirit” so as not to “gratify the desires of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16).

Finally, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Without Christ, we are lost, whatever type of sin has entangled us. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is available to the homosexual just as it is to the adulterer, idol worshiper, murderer, and thief. God promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:13).

We all are called to repent: Many understand the term repentance to mean “a turning from sin.” Regretting sin and turning from it is related to repentance, but it is not the precise meaning of the word. In the Bible, the word repent means “to change one’s mind.” The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8–14; Acts 3:19). In summarizing his ministry, Paul declares, “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds” (Acts 26:20). The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action.

What, then, is the connection between repentance and salvation? The book of Acts especially focuses on repentance in regard to salvation (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). To repent, in relation to salvation, is to change your mind regarding sin and Jesus Christ. In Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts chapter 2), he concludes with a call for the people to repent (Acts 2:38). Repent from what? Peter is calling the people who rejected Jesus (Acts 2:36) to change their minds about that sin and to change their minds about Christ Himself, recognizing that He is indeed “Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). Peter is calling the people to change their minds, to abhor their past rejection of Christ, and to embrace faith in Him as both Messiah and Savior.

Repentance involves recognizing that you have thought wrongly in the past and determining to think rightly in the future. The repentant person has “second thoughts” about the mindset he formerly embraced. There is a change of disposition and a new way of thinking about God, about sin, about holiness, and about doing God’s will. True repentance is prompted by “godly sorrow,” and it “leads to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Repentance and faith can be understood as two sides of the same coin. It is impossible to place your faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior without first changing your mind about your sin and about who Jesus is and what He has done. Whether it is repentance from willful rejection or repentance from ignorance or disinterest, it is a change of mind. Biblical repentance, in relation to salvation, is changing your mind from rejection of Christ to faith in Christ.

Repentance is not a work we do to earn salvation. No one can repent and come to God unless God pulls that person to Himself (John 6:44). Repentance is something God gives—it is only possible because of His grace (Acts 5:31; 11:18). No one can repent unless God grants repentance. All of salvation, including repentance and faith, is a result of God drawing us, opening our eyes, and changing our hearts. God’s longsuffering leads us to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), as does His kindness (Romans 2:4).

While repentance is not a work that earns salvation, repentance unto salvation does result in works. It is impossible to truly change your mind without that causing a change in action. In the Bible, repentance results in a change in behavior. That is why John the Baptist called people to “produce fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:8). A person who has truly repented of his sin and exercised faith in Christ will give evidence of a changed life (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:19–23; James 2:14–26).

To see what repentance looks like in real life, all we need to do is turn to the story of Zacchaeus. Here was a man who cheated and stole and lived lavishly on his ill-gotten gains—until he met Jesus. At that point he had a radical change of mind: “Look, Lord!” said Zacchaeus. “Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount” (Luke 19:8). Jesus happily proclaimed that salvation had come to Zacchaeus’s house, and that even the tax collector was now “a son of Abraham” (verse 9)—a reference to Zacchaeus’s faith. The cheat became a philanthropist; the thief made restitution. That’s repentance, coupled with faith in Christ.

Repentance, properly defined, is necessary for salvation. Biblical repentance is changing your mind about your sin—no longer is sin something to toy with; it is something to be forsaken as we “flee from the coming wrath” (Matthew 3:7). It is also changing your mind about Jesus Christ—no longer is He to be mocked, discounted, or ignored; He is the Savior to be clung to; He is the Lord to be worshiped and adored.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age. - Titus 2:11-12 (NIV)

Remember to always search God’s word for yourself.

Are we living in the evil end times? Yes, demons are real and so is spiritual warfare:

Demons are fallen angels, as Revelation 12:9 indicates: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the entire world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” Satan’s fall from heaven is symbolically described in Isaiah 14:12–15 and Ezekiel 28:12–15. When he fell, Satan took some of the angels with him—one third of them, according to Revelation 12:4. Jude 6 also mentions angels who sinned. So, biblically, demons are fallen angels who, along with Satan, chose to rebel against God.

I wonder how many of us has notice just hoe rude, nasty, disrespectful, spiteful many individual s has become not just on the highways but also at children’s sports games, inside stores, and more always in a rush to get nowhere fast.

Here are some key areas of scripture that rapture adherents point to as evidence to corroborate my belief and other Christian’s beliefs.

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. — Matthew 24:40-41 (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the

Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the

dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught

up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will be with

the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words. — 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 (NIV

Daniel 7:13-14

13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Often, people experience anxiety when they think about the future; however, it does not have to be that way. For those who know God, thoughts of the future bring eagerness and comfort. For example, describing a woman who knows and trusts God, Proverbs 31:25 says, “She smiles at the future.”

Two key thoughts to keep in mind about the future are, first, God is sovereign and in control over everything. He knows the future and absolutely controls what will happen. The Bible says, “Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’ . . . Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it” (Isaiah 46:9–11, emphasis added).

The second thing to remember about the future is that the Bible outlines what will occur in “the end times” or “latter days.” Because the Bible is God’s revelation to humankind, and because God knows and controls the future (as Isaiah says above), then it makes sense that when the Bible speaks about what will occur in the future, we can believe it. Concerning predictions about the future, the Bible says, “No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:21). This truth is evident in the fact that, unlike the false prophecies made in other religions or by individuals such as Nostradamus, the Bible has never once been wrong – every time the Bible has predicted a future event, it happened exactly as Scripture said it would.

When considering how to understand and survive in the end times, answer these three questions:

How should I interpret what the Bible says about the future (biblical prophecy)?
What does the Bible say will happen in the end times?
How should what the Bible says about the future affect the way I live today?

How to Interpret Biblical Prophecy

There are several viewpoints on what methods should be used when interpreting passages concerning the end times. While there are good people espousing different beliefs, there is good reason to believe that biblical prophecy should be interpreted (1) literally, (2) with a futurist view, and (3) in what is called a “premillennial” manner. Encouraging a literal interpretation is the fact that there are over 300 prophecies that concern the first coming of Christ, all of which were literally fulfilled. The predictions surrounding the Messiah’s birth, life, betrayal, death, and resurrection were not fulfilled allegorically or in a spiritual manner. Jesus literally was born in Bethlehem, performed miracles, was betrayed by a close friend for 30 pieces of silver, was pierced in His hands and feet, died with thieves, was buried in a rich man’s tomb, and was resurrected three days after His death. All these details were predicted hundreds of years before Jesus was born and were literally fulfilled. And, while there is symbolism used in various prophecies (e.g., dragons, horsemen, etc.), all of it portrays literal beings or events, in much the same way as Jesus is spoken of as a lion and a lamb.

Regarding a futurist view, the Bible clearly states that prophetic books like Daniel and Revelation contain not only accounts of historical events, but also predictions of future events. After John was given his messages for the churches of his day, he received visions concerning what would occur in the end times. John was told, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things” (Revelation 4:1, emphasis added).

Perhaps an even stronger argument for a futurist view involves the promises God made to Abraham (cf. Genesis 12 & 15) concerning the land of Israel. Since God’s covenant with Abraham was unconditional, and His promises have not yet been fulfilled to Abraham’s descendants, then a futurist view of the promises to Israel is warranted.

Lastly, with respect to prophecy being interpreted in a “premillennial” manner, this means that, first, the church will be Raptured, then the world will experience a seven-year Tribulation period, and then Jesus Christ will return to reign over the earth for 1,000 literal years (Revelation 20).

But what does the Bible say will happen before then?

What Does the Bible Say Will Happen in the End Times?

Sadly, the Bible predicts a downward spiral of catastrophes, human sin, and religious apostasy before Christ returns. Paul writes, “But realize this, that in the last days challenging times will come. . .. Evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:1, 13). The world will continue to reject God, His Word, and His people.

Some day in the future – a day no one knows – God will end the Church Age which began in the first century on Pentecost (cf. Acts 2) with an event known as the Rapture. At that time, God removes all believers in Christ from the earth in preparation for His final judgments. Of the Rapture, Paul says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:14–18).

The erosion of peace and increase of turmoil that precedes the Rapture will reach epic proportions when untold numbers of people disappear from the earth. Such an event will cause panic and demands for a strong leader who will have answers to all the world’s problems. Preparation for this leader has been in progress for some time, as historian Arnold Toynbee has noted, “By forcing on mankind more and more lethal weapons, and at the same time making the world more and more interdependent economically, technology has brought mankind to such a degree of distress that we are ripe for the deifying of any new Caesar who might succeed in giving the world unity and peace.” Out of a revived Roman Empire, one that is organized in a European ten-constituency fashion (cf. Daniel 7:24; Revelation 13:1), the Antichrist will arise and sign a covenant with the nation of Israel, which will officially begin God’s prophetic seven-year countdown to Christ’s second coming (cf. Daniel 9:27).

For three and a half years, the Antichrist will reign over the earth and promise peace, but it is a false peace which will entrap the people of the earth. The Bible says, “While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Wars, earthquakes, and famines will escalate (cf. Matthew 24:7) until the end of the Antichrist’s 3.5-year reign, when he will enter a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself to be God and demand worship (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Matthew 24:15). It is at that point that the true God responds to the challenge. For another 3.5 years, a Great Tribulation will occur, such as has never been seen. Jesus predicted, “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” (Matthew 24:21–22).

Untold loss of life and destruction of the earth will occur during the Great Tribulation. Also, large numbers will come to faith in Christ, yet many will do so at cost of their lives. God will still be in control as He gathers the unbelieving armies of the world in order to judge them. Of this event, the prophet Joel wrote, “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people” (Joel 3:2). John records the battle this way: “And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan] and out of the mouth of the beast [the Antichrist] and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. . . . And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon” (Revelation 16:13–16).

At this point, the Messiah Jesus will return, destroy His enemies, and claim the world, which is rightfully His. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh, He has a name written, ‘KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven, ‘Come, assemble for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves and small and great.’ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him, the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11–21).

After Christ has defeated all the armies gathered in the valley of Armageddon, He will reign with His saints for one thousand years and fully restore Israel to her land. At the end of a thousand years, a final judgment of the nations and all remaining mankind will occur, which is then followed by an eternal state: either spent with God or separated from Him (cf. Revelation 20-21).

The above events are not speculations or possibilities – they are what will take place in the future. Just as all the Bible’s prophecies of Christ’s first coming came true, so will all the Bible’s prophecies of His second coming.

Given the truth of these prophecies, what impact should they have on us now? Peter asks this question: “Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!” (2 Peter 3:11–12).

The Effect of Bible Prophecy on Us Today

There are four responses we should have to Bible prophecy. The first is obedience, which is what Peter speaks of in the verses above. Jesus continually tells us to be ready for His coming, which could happen at any time (cf. Mark 13:33-37) and to live in such a way that we are not ashamed of our behavior.

The second response is worship. God has provided a way to escape His end-time judgments—His gift of salvation offered through Jesus. We must be sure we receive His salvation and live-in gratitude before Him. Our worship on earth will one day become worship in heaven: “And they sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation’” (Revelation 5:9).

The third response is proclamation. The message of God’s salvation and the truth of His second coming need to be proclaimed for all to hear, especially to those who do not yet believe. We must give everyone the chance to turn to God and be saved from His coming wrath. Revelation 22:10 says, "And he said to me, ‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.’”

The last response to God’s prophetic Word is service. All believers should be diligent about conducting God’s will and performing good works. Part of Christ’s judgments will be of the works performed by believers. They do not determine a Christian’s acceptance into heaven, but they do show what each believer did with the gifts given him or her by God. Paul says of this judgment, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10).

In summation, God is sovereign over all events and people of the world. He is firmly in control of everything and will bring a perfect end to everything He has started. An old Christian song puts it like this: “All is God’s creation … Fashioned by One hand … Satan and Salvation … Under One command.”

Fulfilled prophecy is one proof that the Bible is a supernatural book. Hundreds of Old Testament prophecies have already been fulfilled, and it is reasonable to conclude that what it says about the end times will be fulfilled as well. For those who know Jesus and have trusted Him as their Lord and Savior, His coming will be their blessed hope (cf. Titus 2:13). But for those who have rejected Christ, He will be their holy terror (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:8). The bottom line is this: to survive the end times, make sure you are a believer in Christ: “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

우리는 사악한 종말에 살고 있습니까? 좋아요. 마귀는 영적 전쟁과 마찬가지로 실재합니다.

마귀는 타락한 천사입니다. 요한계시록 12장 9절은 “그가 땅으로 내어쫓기니 그의 사자들이 그와 함께 하였도다” “사탄이 하늘에서 떨어지는 일은 이사야서 14장 12-15절과 에스겔서 28장 12-15절에 상징적으로 묘사되어 있습니다. 요한계시록 12장 4절에 따르면 나는 천사의 삼분의 일을 얻었고 유다서 6장에는 죄를 지은 천사들도 언급되어 있기 때문에 성경에서 마귀는 사탄과 함께 하나님께 반역하기로 선택한 타락한 천사입니다.

형제 자매 여러분, 죽음의 잠을 자고 있는 사람들을 무시하지 않기를 바랍니다. 그들이 나머지 절망적인 인류처럼 고통을 겪지 않도록 하십시오. 우리는 예수님께서 죽으시고 다시 살아나심을 믿으므로 하나님께서 자기 자는 자들도 데려오실 줄을 믿습니다.

다니엘 7:13-14

13 내가 밤 이상 중에 인자 같은 이가 하늘 구름을 타고 옛적부터 항상 계신 자에게 나아오는 것을 보았더니 그들이 그를 끌고 앞으로 나아가니라.

14 또 그가 권세와 영광과 나라를 그에게 주셨으니 이는 모든 백성과 나라와 방언을 말하는 자로 그를 섬기게 하려 하심이라 그의 권세는 없어지지 아니할 것이요 그의 나라가 멸망하지 아니할 것이니라

사람들은 종종 미래에 대해 생각할 때 불안을 경험합니다. 그러나 그것은 필요하지 않습니다. 하나님을 아는 사람에게는 미래를 생각하는 것이 진지하고 위로가 됩니다. 예를 들어 잠언 31장 25절은 하나님을 알고 신뢰하는 여자에 대해 "미래를 보고 웃는다"고 말합니다.

미래에 대해 염두에 두어야 할 두 가지 핵심 아이디어는 다음과 같습니다. 첫째, 하나님은 주권자이시며 모든 것을 통제하십니다. 당신은 미래를 알고 앞으로 일어날 일을 절대적으로 통제할 수 있습니다. 성서에서는 이렇게 알려 줍니다. “나는 먼저 하나님이요 다른 이가 없음을 기억하십시오. 나는 하나님이라 나와 같은 이가 없느니라 처음부터 끝까지 이르되 내 뜻대로 하고 내 뜻대로 하리라 하지 아니한 일이 처음부터 없느니라 . . 정말 그냥 지나칠 거라고 말했어요. 나는 그것을 계획했고 그것을 수행해야합니다”(이사야 46:9-11, 강조 추가).

미래에 대해 두 번째로 기억해야 할 점은 성경이 "마지막 때" 또는 "마지막 날"에 일어날 일을 묘사하고 있다는 것입니다. 성경은 인류에 대한 하나님의 계시이고 하나님은 미래를 아시고 주관하시기 때문에(앞서 이사야가 말한 것처럼), 성경이 미래에 일어날 일에 대해 말할 때 우리가 그것을 믿을 수 있다는 것은 이치에 맞습니다. 미래에 대해 성경은 이렇게 말합니다. "예언은 사람의 뜻으로 낸 것이 아니요 오직 성령의 감동하심을 받은 사람들이 하나님께 받아 말한 것임이니라"(벧후 1:21). 다른 종교나 노스트라다무스 같은 개인이 하는 거짓 예언과 달리 성경은 결코 틀리지 않습니다.

종말을 이해하고 생존하는 방법을 고려할 때 다음 세 가지 질문에 답하십시오.

성경이 말하는 미래(성경의 예언)를 어떻게 해석해야 할까요?
성경은 말세에 무슨 일이 일어날 것이라고 말합니까?
성경의 말씀은 미래에 대한 오늘날 우리의 삶에 어떤 영향을 미칩니까?

성경의 예언을 해석하는 방법

끝 시간 구절을 해석할 때 어떤 방법을 사용해야 하는지에 대해서는 여러 가지 견해가 있습니다. 다른 믿음을 지지하는 선한 사람들도 있지만 성경의 예언은 (1) 문자 그대로, (2) 미래적 관점에서, (3) 어떤 식으로든 해석되어야 한다고 믿을 만한 이유가 있습니다."전천년"이라고 합니다. 문자적 해석을 부추기는 것은 그리스도의 초림에 관한 예언이 300개가 넘고 모두 문자 그대로 성취되었다는 사실입니다. 메시아의 탄생, 삶, 배반, 죽음, 부활에 대한 예언은 비유적으로나 영적으로 성취되지 않았습니다. 예수님은 말 그대로 베들레헴에서 태어나 기적을 행하시고 친한 친구에게 은 삼십에 배반당하시고 손발에 찔림을 받으시고 도적들에게 죽임을 당하시고 한 부자의 무덤에 장사되신 후 사흘 만에 부활하셨습니다. 그의 죽음.. . 이 모든 세부 사항은 예수께서 태어나시기 수백 년 전에 예언되었으며 문자 그대로 성취되었습니다. 그리고 다양한 예언에 사용되는 상징(예: 용, 기병 등)이 있지만, 모두 예수가 사자와 어린양으로 언급된 것과 같은 방식으로 문자적인 존재 또는 사건을 나타냅니다.

미래적 관점에서 성경은 다니엘, 요한계시록과 같은 예언서에는 역사적 사건의 기록뿐 아니라 미래의 사건에 대한 예언도 포함되어 있음을 분명히 밝히고 있습니다. 그 시대의 교회들을 위한 기별을 받은 후 요한은 말세에 일어날 일에 대한 이상을 받았습니다. 요한은 "이리로 올라오라 이 후에 어떻게 될 것을 내가 네게 보이리라"(계 4:1;

아마도 미래의 비전에 대한 더 강력한 논거는 이스라엘 땅에 관한 하나님의 아브라함의 약속과 관련이 있을 것입니다(참조, 창세기 12장과 15장). 하나님이 아브라함과 맺은 언약은 무조건적이었고, 아브라함의 후손들에게는 아직 그 약속이 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 이스라엘에 대한 약속에 대한 미래적 관점은 유효하다.

마지막으로 “전천년” 방식의 예언 해석과 관련하여 이것은 먼저 교회가 휴거되고, 그 다음 세상이 7년 환난기를 겪고, 그 후에 예수 그리스도께서 땅을 다스리기 위해 다시 오실 것임을 의미합니다. . 문자 그대로 1,000년 동안(요한계시록 20장).

그러나 성경은 그 전에 무슨 일이 있을 것이라고 말씀합니까?

성경은 마지막 날에 무슨 일이 일어날 것이라고 말합니까?

슬프게도, 성경은 그리스도의 재림 전에 재앙, 인간의 죄, 종교적 배도가 악순환에 빠질 것이라고 예언합니다. 바울은 “그러나 너희가 이것을 알라 말일에 어려운 때가 이르리니. . ... 악인과 속이는 자들은 점점 악하여져서 속이고 속임을 당하느니라”(딤후 3:1, 13). 세상은 계속해서 하나님과 그분의 말씀과 그분의 백성을 거부할 것입니다.

아무도 모르는 미래의 어느 날, 하나님께서는 1세기 오순절(참조, 행 2장)에 시작된 교회시대를 휴거라는 사건으로 끝내실 것입니다. 그때 하나님은 최후의 심판을 준비하기 위해 이 땅에서 그리스도를 믿는 모든 신자들을 제거하실 것입니다. 휴거와 관련하여 바울은 이렇게 말합니다. 이를 위하여 우리가 주의 말씀으로 너희에게 이르노니 주의 강림하실 때까지 우리 살아 남은 자도 잠자는 자보다 앞서지 못하였으리라 환호와 천사장의 소리와 하나님의 나팔로 친히 주께서 친히 하늘로 좇아 강림하시리니 주께서 공중에 계시니 우리가 항상 주와 함께 있으리라. 그러므로 이 말로 서로 위로하십시오”(살전 4:14-18).

휴거 이전의 평화의 침식과 혼돈의 증가는 수많은 사람들이 지구에서 사라질 때 놀라운 규모가 될 것입니다. 그러한 사건은 공황을 야기할 것이며 세상의 모든 문제에 대한 답을 줄 강력한 지도자가 필요합니다.

역사가 Arnold Toynbee가 언급했듯이, 이 지도자를 위한 준비는 얼마 동안 진행되었습니다. 세계에 통일과 평화를 가져올 수 있는 새로운 카이사르의 신격화를 위해 무르익은 고통의 정도입니다.” 부활한 로마제국(참조, 다니엘 7:24; 계 13:1)에서 유럽의 10개 지역으로 조직된 적그리스도가 일어나 이스라엘 민족과 언약을 맺을 것이다. 그리스도의 재림에 대한 하나님의 예언적 7년 카운트다운(참조 다니엘 9:27).

삼년 반 동안 적그리스도가 땅을 다스리며 평화를 약속할 것이나 사람들을 포로로 잡아 땅에서는 거짓 평화를 주리라. 성경은 “저희가 평안하다, 안전하다 할 그 때에 잉태한 여자에게 해산 고통과 같은 멸망이 홀연히 저희에게 이르리니 결단코 피하지 못하리라”(살전 5:3)고 말씀합니다. 전쟁, 지진, 기근은 적그리스도의 3.5년 통치가 끝날 때까지 심화될 것입니다[sPause sec = 2.8 ePause] (참조. 마태복음 24:7). 예배(데살로니가후서 2:4; 마태복음 24:15 참조). 그때 참 하나님이 도전에 응답하십니다. 앞으로 3.5년 후에는 전에 보지 못한 큰 환난이 있을 것입니다. 예수께서는 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다. “그 때에 큰 환난이 있을 것입니다. 그것은 세상 창조로부터 지금까지 없었고 다시는 일어나지 않을 것입니다. 그 날들이 단축되지 않았다면 어떤 생명도 구하지 못했을 것입니다. 택하신 자들을 위하여 그 날을 단축하시리라”(마태복음 24:21-22).

큰 환난 중에 형언할 수 없는 생명의 손실과 땅의 멸망이 있을 것입니다. 더욱이 많은 사람들이 그리스도를 믿게 되겠지만 많은 사람들이 그렇게 하기 위해 목숨을 잃을 것입니다. 하나님은 심판을 위해 세상의 불신자들의 군대를 모으실 때 여전히 통치하실 것입니다. 이 사건과 관련하여 예언자 요엘은 이렇게 썼습니다. “내가 모든 나라를 모아 여호사밧 골짜기로 내려가게 하겠다. 그리하면 내가 거기서 내 백성을 위하여 그들과 함께 심판하리라”(욜 3:2). 요한은 전쟁을 이렇게 기록합니다. “또 내가 보니 개구리 같은 세 더러운 영이 용[사탄]의 입과 짐승[적그리스도]의 입과 거짓 선지자의 입에서 나오더라. 그들은 마귀요, 표징이요, 천하 만왕에게 가서 전능하신 하나님의 큰 날의 전쟁을 위하여 모으는 자들이니라. . . 그들은 히브리어로 하르마겟돈이라는 곳에서 만났다”(요한계시록 16:13-16).

이때 메시아 예수는 원수들을 멸하고 그에게 속한 세상을 주장하기 위해 다시 오실 것입니다. “또 내가 하늘이 열린 것을 보니 보라 백마와 탄 자가 있으니 그 이름은 신실하고 진실하니 그들은 공의로 심판하고 싸웠더라. 그의 눈은 불꽃이고 그의 머리에는 많은 면류관이 있습니다. 그리고 그 위에는 자기 외에는 아무도 모르는 이름이 기록되어 있습니다. 그는 피로 흠뻑 젖은 옷을 입고 있으며 그의 이름은 하나님의 말씀입니다. 하늘의 군대들이 흰 옷과 깨끗한 세마포 옷을 입고 흰 말을 타고 그분을 따랐습니다. 그의 입에서 예리한 칼이 나오나니 그가 그로 만국을 치며 철장으로 그들을 다스리며 전능하신 하나님의 진노의 포도주 틀을 밟으리라. 그의 옷과 넓적다리에 이름 쓴 것이 있으니 그 이름은 만왕의 왕이요 만주의 주라 하였더라 내가 보니 천사가 해 아래 서서 모든 새들에게 큰 음성으로 공중에 날아가서 가로되 너희는 하나님의 큰 만찬 곧 왕들의 음식을 모으고 군사령관들의 음식을 먹으라 용사의 고기와 말과 그 탄 자들, 그리고 모든 사람의 육체는 자유인이나 종이나 작은 자나 좋은 자나 ' 그리고 나는 그 짐승과 땅의 왕들과 그들의 군대가 기마와 그의 군대와 싸우려고 모인 것을 보았다. 그 짐승이 죽임을 당하고 그 앞에서 표적을 행하던 거짓 선지자도 짐승의 표를 받은 자들과 그의 우상에게 경배하는 자들을 미혹하여 이 둘이 산 채로 유황불 못에 던지우더라. 그리고 그 나머지는 말 탄 자의 입에서 나오는 칼에 죽임을 당하고 모든 새는 고기로 배부르더라”(계 19:11-21).

그리스도께서 아마겟돈 골짜기에 모인 모든 군대를 멸하신 후에 천 년 동안 그의 성도들과 함께 다스리시며 이스라엘을 그들의 땅으로 회복시키실 것입니다. 천년왕국이 끝날 때 열방과 남아 있는 모든 인류에 대한 최후의 심판이 있을 것이며 그 후에 영원한 상태가 올 것입니다. 즉, 하나님과 함께 또는 그분과 분리되어 있습니다(참조, 요한계시록 20-21장).

위의 사건들은 추측이나 가능성이 아니며, 미래에 일어날 것입니다. 그리스도의 초림에 관한 성경의 모든 예언이 이루어진 것처럼 그의 재림에 관한 성경의 모든 예언도 성취될 것입니다.

이 예언의 정확성을 고려할 때, 그것들은 지금 우리에게 어떤 영향을 미쳐야 합니까? 베드로가 묻습니다. "이 모든 것이 이와 같이 하여 폐하되 너희가 어떤 사람이 되어야 하며 거룩함과 경건함으로 하나님의 날이 임함을 바라보며 급히 하늘의 멸망을 바라느냐 불이요 체질이 타오르는 불에 녹으리로다”(벧후 3:11-12).

성서 예언이 오늘날 우리에게 미치는 영향

성경의 예언에 대한 네 가지 반응이 있습니다. 첫째는 순종입니다. 이것은 베드로가 앞 절에서 말한 모자입니다. 예수님은 언제라도 일어날 수 있는 그의 오심을 준비하고(참조, 마가복음 13:33-37) 우리의 행동을 부끄러워하지 않는 방식으로 살라고 끊임없이 우리에게 말씀하십니다.

두 번째 응답은 예배입니다. 하나님은 말세에 심판을 피할 수 있는 길을 마련해 주셨습니다. 즉, 예수님을 통하여 주시는 구원의 선물입니다. 우리는 그의 구원을 받고 그 앞에서 감사하는 삶을 살아야 하며, 땅에서 드리는 예배가 언젠가는 하늘에서 드리는 예배가 될 것입니다. 죽임을 당하고 주의 피로 하나님을 위하여 각 족속 중에서 사람을 사셨도다한 민족과 민족”(계 5:9).

세 번째 대답은 선포입니다. 하나님의 구원의 기별과 재림의 진리는 모든 사람이 들을 수 있도록 선포되어야 하며, 특히 아직 믿지 않는 사람들에게는 더욱 그러합니다. 우리는 모든 사람에게 하나님께로 돌아갈 기회를 주어야 하고 장차 임할 진노에서 구원을 받아야 합니다. 요한계시록 22장 10절에 “또 내게 이르시되 이 책에 있는 대언의 말씀을 인봉하지 말라 때가 가까우니라 하시니라”고 했습니다.

하나님의 예언의 말씀에 대한 마지막 대답은 섬김입니다. 모든 신자는 하나님의 뜻을 행하고 선행을 하도록 힘써야 합니다. 그리스도의 심판의 일부는 신자들이 한 일과 관련이 있습니다. 그것들은 그리스도인의 천국 진입을 결정하는 것이 아니라, 각 신자가 그들에게 주신 하나님의 선물로 무엇을 했는지 보여줍니다. 바울은 이 심판에 대해 다음과 같이 말합니다. "우리가 다 반드시 그리스도의 심판대 앞에 드러나 각각 선악 간에 그 몸으로 행한 대로 상을 받으려 함이라"(고후 5:5). 10).

요컨대, 하나님은 세상의 모든 사건과 사람들에 대한 주권자이십니다. 그는 모든 것을 단단히 통제하고 그가 시작한 모든 것을 완벽하게 끝낼 것입니다. 오래된 기독교 노래는 다음과 같이 말합니다.

성취된 예언은 성경이 초자연적인 책이라는 증거입니다. 이미 수백 개의 구약 예언이 성취되었으며, 말세 예언도 이루어질 것이라고 보는 것이 합리적입니다. 예수님을 알고 구세주로 믿는 사람들에게는 그분의 재림이 그들의 복된 소망이 될 것입니다(참조, 디도서 2:13). 그러나 그리스도를 거부하는 자들에게는 그분이 그들의 거룩한 공포가 되실 것입니다(참조 데살로니가후서 1:8). 결론은 다음과 같다. 마지막 시대에서 살아남으려면 그리스도를 믿는 사람인지 확인하십시오. "하나님이 우리를 세우심은 진노하심이 아니요 오직 우리 주 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 구원을 얻게 하심이라"(살전 5:9).

Es porque se ha revelado la gracia de Dios que trae salvación a todas las personas. Nos enseña cómo vivir en esta era de rechazar la impiedad y los deseos mundanos, y vivir una vida templada, recta y piadosa. — Tito 2: 11-12 (NVI)

Recuerde siempre buscar la Palabra de Dios por sí mismo.

¿Estamos viviendo en un apocalipsis maligno? Eso es correcto. Los demonios son reales, al igual que la guerra espiritual.

El diablo es un ángel caído. Apocalipsis 12: 9 dice: Fue arrojado a la tierra, y sus ángeles estaban con él ". La caída de Satanás del cielo se describe simbólicamente en Isaías 14: 12-15 y Ezequiel 28: 12-15. Cuando cayó, Satanás se llevó consigo un tercio de los ángeles según Apocalipsis 12: 4. Judas 6 también menciona a los ángeles que pecaron. Entonces, bíblicamente, el diablo es un ángel caído que, junto con Satanás, elige rebelarse contra Dios.

Me pregunto cuántos de nosotros hemos notado lo rudo, sucio, rudo y vicioso que se ha vuelto no solo en la carretera, sino también en los eventos deportivos infantiles, dentro de las tiendas e incluso más rápido, siempre con prisa por no llegar a ninguna parte. Niños detenidos por no llevar máscaras.

Una madre anciana en Florida que violó las reglas de COVID del hospital y se negó a ponerla al lado de la cama de su hija ha sido encarcelada. ¿Le gustaría poner a su hijo junto a la cama?

Hay varias áreas clave de la Biblia que los defensores del rapto señalan como evidencia que corrobora mis creencias y las de otros cristianos.

Habrá dos personas en el lugar. Tomaré uno y dejaré el otro. Dos mujeres molerán en el molino. Tomaré uno y dejaré el otro.-Mateo 24: 40-41 (NVI)

Hermanos y hermanas, no queremos que ignoren a los que duermen en la muerte, no sea que sufran como el resto de la raza humana desesperada. Dado que creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, creemos que Dios también traerá a los que duermen en él.

De acuerdo con la palabra del Señor, les decimos que nosotros, los que vivimos y permanecemos hasta la venida del Señor, de ninguna manera precedemos a los que duermen.

Los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero.

Después de eso, los que estemos vivos y quedamos seremos capturados.

Subió con ellos en las nubes para encontrarse con el Señor en el aire, para que estaremos juntos.

Señor por siempre. Así que anímense unos a otros con estas palabras.-1 Tesalonicenses 4: 13-18 (NVI)

Daniel 7: 13-14

13 En la visión nocturna vi a uno como el Hijo del Hombre que se acercaba con las nubes del cielo al Anciano de Días, y lo llevaron adelante.

14 Y le dio poder y gloria y un reino, para que todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas le sirvieran, y su dominio es un dominio eterno que no pasará, y su reino no perecerá.

A menudo, las personas experimentan ansiedad al pensar en el futuro. Pero no es necesario. Para quienes conocen a Dios, pensar en el futuro es serio y reconfortante. Por ejemplo, Proverbios 31:25 describe a una mujer que conoce y confía en Dios, diciendo: "Ella ve el futuro y se ríe".

Dos ideas clave a tener en cuenta sobre el futuro son: Primero, Dios es soberano y tiene el control de todo. Conoce el futuro y tiene un control absoluto sobre lo que sucederá. La Biblia dice: “Acuérdate de lo primero, yo soy Dios y no hay otro. Yo soy Dios, y no hay nadie como yo, desde el principio hasta el fin, desde el principio de las cosas que no se han hecho, diciendo: "Haré mi voluntad y haré todo lo que me plazca". . . De verdad dije Verdaderamente lo pasaré. Lo he planeado y es necesario que se haga ”(Isaías 46: 9-11, énfasis agregado).

Lo segundo que hay que recordar sobre el futuro es que la Biblia describe lo que sucederá en "el tiempo del fin" o "los últimos días". Porque la Biblia es la revelación de Dios a la humanidad y Dios conoce y controla el futuro (como dijo Isaías anteriormente)), tiene sentido que podamos creerlo cuando la Biblia habla de cosas que sucederán en el futuro. Con respecto al futuro, la Biblia dice: “Ninguna profecía fue traída por voluntad humana, sino hombres inspirados por el Espíritu Santo hablaron de parte de Dios” (2 Pedro 1:21). , a diferencia de las falsas profecías hechas por otras religiones o individuos como Nostradamus, la Biblia nunca se equivoca.

Mientras considera cómo comprender y sobrevivir al fin de los tiempos, responda estas tres preguntas:

¿Cómo debemos interpretar el futuro (profecía de la Biblia) del que habla la Biblia?
¿Qué dice la Biblia que sucederá en los últimos días?
¿Cómo afectan nuestras vidas hoy las palabras de la Biblia sobre el futuro?

Cómo interpretar la profecía bíblica

Hay muchos puntos de vista diferentes sobre qué método utilizar al interpretar un pasaje sobre el fin de los tiempos. Hay buenas personas que apoyan otras creencias, pero hay razones para creer que las profecías bíblicas deben interpretarse (1) literalmente, (2) desde una perspectiva futurista y (3) de una manera denominada “premilenial”. Lo que anima a una interpretación literal es el hecho de que hay más de 300 profecías sobre la primera venida de Cristo, todas las cuales se han cumplido literalmente. Las profecías del nacimiento, la vida, la traición, la muerte y la resurrección del Mesías no se cumplieron ni figurativa ni espiritualmente. Jesús nació literalmente en Belén, realizó milagros, un amigo cercano lo traicionó por treinta piezas de plata, le traspasaron las manos y los pies, lo mataron los ladrones, lo enterraron en la tumba de un hombre rico y resucitó tres días después de su muerte. . Todos estos detalles fueron profetizados cientos de años antes de que Jesús naciera y se cumplieron literalmente. Y si bien hay símbolos que se usan en varias profecías (por ejemplo, dragones, jinetes, etc.), todos representan seres o eventos literales de la misma manera en que se hace referencia a Jesús como un león y un cordero.

Con respecto a la perspectiva futurista, la Biblia establece claramente que los libros proféticos como Daniel y Apocalipsis contienen no solo registros de eventos históricos, sino también profecías de eventos futuros. Después de recibir el mensaje para las iglesias de su época, Juan recibió una visión de lo que sucedería en los últimos días. Juan dijo: “Sube acá, y te mostraré lo que sucederá después de esto” (Apocalipsis 4: 1;

Quizás un argumento más fuerte para la visión futurista tiene que ver con las promesas de Dios a Abraham con respecto a la tierra de Israel (cf. Génesis 12 y 15). Dado que el pacto de Dios con Abraham era incondicional y sus promesas aún no se habían cumplido a los descendientes de Abraham, una visión futurista de la promesa a Israel es válida.

Finalmente, con respecto a la interpretación de la profecía de una manera “pre-milenial”, esto significa que primero la iglesia será arrebatada, luego el mundo pasará por un período de tribulación de siete años, después del cual Jesucristo regresará para gobernar la tierra. Por literalmente 1,000 años (Apocalipsis 20).

Pero, ¿qué dice la Biblia que sucederá antes de eso?

¿Qué dice la Biblia que sucederá en los últimos días?

Lamentablemente, la Biblia predice una espiral descendente de calamidades, pecados humanos y apostasía religiosa antes de la segunda venida de Cristo. Pablo dijo: “Pero debes saber esto, que vendrán tiempos difíciles en los últimos días. . .. Los impíos y los engañadores se volverán cada vez más malos, engañando y siendo engañados ”(2 Timoteo 3: 1, 13). El mundo seguirá rechazando a Dios, Su Palabra y Su pueblo.

Un día en el futuro, un día que nadie sabe, Dios terminará la era de la iglesia que comenzó en el Pentecostés del primer siglo (cf. Hechos 2) con un evento conocido como el Rapto. En ese momento, Dios sacará a todos los creyentes en Cristo de esta tierra en preparación para el juicio final. Con respecto al rapto, Pablo dice: "Si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también traerá Dios con él a los que durmieron en Jesús". Con este fin, os decimos por palabra del Señor, que nosotros los que estemos vivos y que permanezcamos hasta la venida del Señor no habremos precedido a los que durmieron. El Señor mismo descenderá del cielo con aclamación, con el voz del arcángel y con la trompeta de Dios“Los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero, y luego nosotros, los que estemos vivos y quedamos, seremos arrebatados junto con ellos en las nubes para encontrarnos con el Señor en el aire, y así estaremos siempre con el Señor. Por tanto, consolaos unos a otros con estas palabras ”(1 Tesalonicenses 4: 14-18).

La erosión de la paz y el aumento del caos antes del Rapto serán en una escala asombrosa cuando innumerables personas desaparezcan de la Tierra. Tales eventos causarán pánico y requerirán un líder fuerte que le dé respuestas a todos los problemas del mundo.

Como señaló el historiador Arnold Toynbee, los preparativos para este líder se han estado realizando durante algún tiempo. Es el grado de sufrimiento que está maduro para la deificación de un nuevo César que pueda lograr traer unidad y paz al mundo ”. Desde el Imperio Romano resucitado (cf. Daniel 7:24; Apocalipsis 13: 1), organizado en forma de diez distritos en Europa, el Anticristo se levantará y hará un pacto con la nación de Israel. La cuenta regresiva profética de siete años de Dios hasta la segunda venida de Cristo (véase Daniel 9:27).

Durante tres años y medio el Anticristo gobernará la tierra y prometerá paz, pero llevará cautiva a la gente, una falsa paz en la tierra. La Biblia dice: "Cuando digan: Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción repentina, como dolores de parto a una mujer encinta, y no escaparán" (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 3). Las guerras, los terremotos y las hambrunas se intensificarán hasta el final del reinado de 3.5 años del Anticristo [sPause sec = 2.8 ePause] (cf. Mateo 24: 7). Adoración (véase 2 Tesalonicenses 2: 4; Mateo 24:15). Ahí es cuando el Dios verdadero responde al desafío. En los próximos 3,5 años, habrá una gran tribulación nunca antes vista. Jesús dijo: “En ese momento habrá una gran tribulación, que no ha existido desde la creación del mundo hasta ahora, y nunca volverá a suceder. Si esos días no se hubieran acortado, no se habría salvado ninguna vida. Acortará el día por amor de los escogidos ”(Mateo 24: 21-22).

Durante la gran tribulación habrá una pérdida indecible de vidas y la destrucción de la tierra. Además, muchos llegarán a creer en Cristo, pero muchos perderán la vida por hacerlo. Dios todavía reinará cuando reúna al ejército de incrédulos del mundo para el juicio. Respecto a este evento, el profeta Joel escribió: “Reuniré a todas las naciones y las haré descender al valle de Josafat. Entonces juzgaré allí con ellos por mi pueblo ”(Joel 3: 2). Juan registra la batalla de esta manera: “Y vi tres espíritus inmundos como ranas que salían de la boca del dragón [Satanás], y de la boca de la bestia [anticristo], y de la boca del falso profeta. Son espíritus de demonios, hacedores de señales, que van a los reyes de toda la tierra y los reúnen para la batalla del gran día del Dios Todopoderoso. . . Se reunieron en un lugar llamado Harmageddon en hebreo ”(Apocalipsis 16: 13-16).

En este momento, el Mesías Jesús vendrá nuevamente para destruir a los enemigos y reclamar el mundo que le pertenece. “Y vi el cielo abierto, y he aquí un caballo blanco y un jinete, cuyo nombre era Fiel y Verdadero, que juzgaba y peleaba con justicia. Sus ojos son llamas y su cabeza tiene muchas coronas. Y hay un nombre escrito en él, que nadie conoce más que él mismo. Viste una túnica empapada en sangre y su nombre es la Palabra de Dios. Y los ejércitos del cielo lo seguían, vestidos con ropas blancas y de lino limpio y montados en caballos blancos. De su boca sale una espada aguda, con la cual herirá a las naciones, y las regirá con vara de hierro, y pisará el lagar del vino del furor de la ira del Dios Todopoderoso. Había un nombre escrito en su túnica y en su muslo, que decía: "Rey de reyes y Señor de señores". Vi un ángel de pie bajo el sol y en voz alta dijo a todas las aves, voló por los aires: Venid, reunid para la gran cena de Dios, la carne de los reyes y comed la carne de los comandantes, la carne de los valientes, y los caballos y sus jinetes; y la carne de todos los hombres, libres y esclavos, pequeños y estupendo.' Y vi a la bestia, a los reyes de la tierra y a sus ejércitos reunidos para luchar contra el jinete del caballo y su ejército. La bestia fue muerta, y el falso profeta que hacía señales delante de él tambiény engañaron a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia ya los que adoraban su imagen, y estos dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego que ardía con azufre. Y los demás fueron muertos a espada que salió de la boca del jinete del caballo, y todas las aves se llenaron de carne ”(Apocalipsis 19: 11-21).

Después de que Cristo haya destruido todos los ejércitos reunidos en el Valle de Armagedón, reinará con sus santos durante mil años y restaurará a Israel a su tierra. Al final del milenio, habrá el juicio final sobre las naciones y toda la humanidad restante, después del cual vendrá el estado eterno. Es decir, con Dios o separado de Él (cf. Apocalipsis 20-21).

Los eventos anteriores no son conjeturas ni posibilidades, sucederán en el futuro. Así como se han cumplido todas las profecías de la Biblia acerca de la primera venida de Cristo, también se cumplirán todas las profecías de la Biblia acerca de su segunda venida.

Dada la veracidad de estas profecías, ¿cómo deberían afectarnos ahora? Peter pregunta: "De esta manera todas estas cosas serán destruidas. ¿Qué clase de gente debes ser para que esperes con ansias la venida del día de Dios mediante la santidad y la piedad, y mires apresuradamente a que los cielos sean consumidos? con fuego, y los elementos se derretirán con fuego abrasador! " (2 Pedro 3: 11-12).

Cómo nos afecta la profecía bíblica hoy

Hay cuatro respuestas a la profecía bíblica. La primera es la obediencia, que es el sombrero del que Pedro habló en el versículo anterior. Jesús nos dice constantemente que estemos preparados para su venida, que puede suceder en cualquier momento (cf. Marcos 13: 33-37) y que vivamos de una manera que no se avergüence de nuestras acciones.

La segunda respuesta es la adoración. Dios ha provisto una forma de escapar del juicio en los últimos días. Es decir, es el regalo de la salvación ofrecido a través de Jesús. Debemos recibir Su salvación y vivir una vida de acción de gracias ante Él. Nuestra adoración en la tierra algún día se convertirá en nuestra adoración en el cielo. fue inmolado, y con tu sangre, por amor de Dios, compraste hombres de toda tribu, lengua, pueblo y nación ”(Apocalipsis 5: 9).

La tercera respuesta es la proclamación. El mensaje de salvación de Dios y la verdad de la Segunda Venida deben ser proclamados para que todos lo escuchen, especialmente para aquellos que aún no creen. Debemos darles a todos la oportunidad de volverse a Dios y ser salvos de la ira venidera. Apocalipsis 22:10 dice: "Y me dijo:" No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro, porque el tiempo está cerca ".

La respuesta final a la palabra profética de Dios es el servicio. Todo creyente debe esforzarse por hacer la voluntad de Dios y hacer buenas obras. Parte del juicio de Cristo tiene que ver con lo que han hecho los creyentes. No determinan la entrada de un cristiano al cielo, sino más bien muestran lo que cada creyente ha hecho con el regalo de Dios para ellos. Pablo dice de este juicio: “Porque es necesario que todos comparezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno de nosotros sea recompensado por lo que haya hecho en el cuerpo, sea bueno o malo” (2 Corintios 5: 5). 10).

En resumen, Dios es soberano sobre todos los eventos y personas del mundo. Él controlará firmemente todo y terminará perfectamente todo lo que comenzó. Una vieja canción cristiana dice:

La profecía cumplida es una prueba de que la Biblia es un libro sobrenatural. Ya se han cumplido cientos de profecías del Antiguo Testamento, y es razonable suponer que las profecías del fin de los tiempos también se harán realidad. Para aquellos que conocen a Jesús y creen en Él como su Salvador, Su regreso será su bendita esperanza (cf. Tito 2:13). Pero para aquellos que rechazan a Cristo, Él será su santo terror (véase II Tesalonicenses 1: 8). La conclusión es la siguiente. Para sobrevivir al fin de los tiempos, asegúrese de ser un creyente en Cristo. “Dios no nos nombró para ira, sino para salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo” (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 9).

Estamos viviendo en una nación sin Dios y tenemos líderes electos tontos? Por favor, no me malinterpreten. Sé que hay muchas personas que confían en Dios y creen en Jesús tratando de vivir para Cristo. Sí, esto incluye a algunos de nuestros líderes. Amo a Estados Unidos. Serví a mi país, pero a Dios y a Jesús que amo más obedeceré primero la palabra de Dios. Salmo 118: 8 Es mejor refugiarse en el Señor que confiar en el hombre. Miqueas 7: 5 No confíes en el prójimo; no confíes en un amigo; guarda las puertas de tu boca de la que yace en tus brazos;

Jeremías 17: 5 Así dice el Señor: “Maldito el hombre que confía en el hombre y hace de la carne su fuerza, cuyo corazón se aparta del Señor.

Salmo 118: 9 Es mejor refugiarse en el Señor que confiar en príncipes.

Proverbios 3: 5-6 Confía en el Señor con todo tu corazón y no te apoyes en tu propio entendimiento. Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus sendas.

Sin embargo, creo que muchas personas están sufriendo abuso emocional por parte de nuestros líderes electos. La Biblia no usa las palabras abuso emocional, pero hay muchas características del abuso emocional que se abordan en las Escrituras.

El abuso emocional puede tomar muchas formas, incluidas las agresiones verbales, las amenazas y los insultos, como los que han venido recibiendo de muchos líderes electos.

Y rechazo, negligencia y aislamiento no verbal; estos comportamientos son recurrentes y se han convertido en un patrón de abuso emocional. Solo podemos orar por los líderes electos que eligen abusar de su posición debido a su estupidez.

Baso la pregunta del título anterior en lo que está sucediendo. Dentro de nuestra nación, nuestros líderes electos apoyan el aborto, la homosexualidad, la crt, la cancelación de la cultura, los asaltos a la luz del día y mucho más, imponen sus problemas a la población estadounidense.

Los políticos se jactan del mal uso de su cargo. Los políticos están tratando de intimidar a los padres para que se callen utilizando la aplicación de la ley federal.

La policía fue asesinada en una emboscada, pero BLM y otros grupos anti-estadounidenses se volvieron locos en las calles. Muchos de nuestros líderes electos están siendo completamente tontos.

Me pregunto ¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre la necedad? La necedad resulta de una persona que hace mal uso de la inteligencia que Dios le ha dado. ¿Ves a nuestros líderes haciendo esto?

Un tonto usa sus habilidades de razonamiento para tomar decisiones equivocadas. El tipo más básico de necedad es negar la existencia de Dios o decirle "no" a Dios (Salmo 14: 1). La Biblia asocia la locura con un temperamento violento (Proverbios 14: 16-17), habla perversa (Proverbios 19: 1) y desobediencia a los padres (Proverbios 15: 5). Nacemos con una locura innata, pero la disciplina nos ayudará a entrenarnos en la sabiduría (Proverbios 22:15).

Proverbios 19: 3 dice que la necedad es contraproducente: "La necedad de una persona lo lleva a la ruina". Jesús en Marcos 7:22 usa una palabra que significa "insensatez" y se traduce como "insensatez". En ese contexto, Jesús describe lo que sale del corazón del hombre y lo contamina. La necedad es una de las evidencias de que el hombre tiene una naturaleza corrupta y pecaminosa. Proverbios 24: 9 dice: "Los planes de la locura son pecado". La necedad, entonces, es realmente la infracción de la ley de Dios, porque el pecado es infracción de la ley (1 Juan 3: 4).

Para el necio, el camino de Dios es necedad. "El mensaje de la cruz es locura para los que se pierden". (1 Corintios 1:18; cf. versículo 23). El evangelio parece una locura para los inconversos porque no tiene sentido para ellos. El necio está completamente fuera de sintonía con la sabiduría de Dios. El evangelio va en contra de la inteligencia y la razón nativas del incrédulo, sin embargo, "Dios se complació en salvar a los creyentes mediante la locura de la predicación" (1 Corintios 1:21).

El creyente en Cristo recibe la naturaleza misma de Dios (2 Pedro 1: 4), que incluye la mente de Cristo (1 Corintios 2:16). Al confiar en el poder del Espíritu Santo, el creyente puede rechazar la necedad. Sus pensamientos pueden agradar al Señor y puede tomar decisiones que glorifiquen a Dios al enriquecer su vida y la de quienes lo rodean (Filipenses 4: 8-9; Efesios 5: 18-6: 4).

Cuando se trata de nuestro destino eterno, uno es un tonto, lo que significa que rechaza el evangelio de Cristo, o uno es sabio, lo que significa que cree en Cristo y le entrega su vida (véase Mateo 7: 24-27). El creyente descubre que el evangelio, lo que él pensó que era una locura, es, en realidad, la sabiduría de Dios que proporciona su salvación eterna. Repito que creo que muchos están sufriendo abuso emocional por parte de nuestros líderes electos.

Ore por nuestros líderes y para que esta nación regrese a Dios. Juan 14: 6-“Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al padre excepto a través de mí ". Todas las preguntas del hombre sobre la vida se responden en este versículo.

Por favor, no me malinterpreten. Sé que hay muchas personas que confían en Dios y creen en Jesús tratando de vivir para Cristo. Sí, esto incluye a algunos de nuestros líderes. Amo a Estados Unidos. Serví a mi país, pero a Dios y a Jesús que amo más obedeceré primero la palabra de Dios. Salmo 118: 8 Es mejor refugiarse en el Señord que confiar en el hombre. Miqueas 7: 5 No confíes en el prójimo; no confíes en un amigo; guarda las puertas de tu boca de la que yace en tus brazos;

Jeremías 17: 5 Así dice el Señor: “Maldito el hombre que confía en el hombre y hace de la carne su fuerza, cuyo corazón se aparta del Señor.

Salmo 118: 9 Es mejor refugiarse en el Señor que confiar en príncipes.

Proverbios 3: 5-6 Confía en el Señor con todo tu corazón y no te apoyes en tu propio entendimiento. Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus sendas.

El abuso emocional puede tomar muchas formas, incluidas las agresiones verbales, las amenazas y los insultos, como los que han venido recibiendo de muchos líderes electos.

Baso la pregunta del título anterior en lo que está sucediendo. Dentro de nuestra nación, nuestros líderes electos apoyan el aborto, la homosexualidad, la crt, la cancelación de la cultura, el atraco a la luz del día y mucho más, imponen sus problemas a la población estadounidense.

Los políticos se jactan del mal uso de su cargo. Los políticos están tratando de intimidar a los padres para que se callen utilizando la aplicación de la ley federal.

La policía fue asesinada en una emboscada, pero BLM y otros grupos anti-estadounidenses se volvieron locos en las calles. Muchos de nuestros líderes electos están siendo completamente tontos.

Me pregunto ¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre la necedad? La necedad resulta de una persona que hace mal uso de la inteligencia que Dios le ha dado. ¿Ves a nuestros líderes haciendo esto?

Proverbios 19: 3 dice que la necedad es contraproducente: "La necedad de una persona lo lleva a la ruina". Jesús en Marcos 7:22 usa una palabra que significa "insensatez" y se traduce como "insensatez". En ese contexto, Jesús describe lo que sale del corazón del hombre y lo contamina. La necedad es una de las pruebas de que el hombre tiene una naturaleza corrupta y pecaminosa. Proverbios 24: 9 dice: "Los planes de la locura son pecado". La necedad, entonces, es realmente la infracción de la ley de Dios, porque el pecado es infracción de la ley (1 Juan 3: 4).

Ore por nuestros líderes y para que esta nación regrese a Dios. Juan 14: 6-“Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al Padre sino por mí ”. Todas las preguntas del hombre sobre la vida se responden en este versículo.

우리는 신이 없는 나라에 살고 있으며 어리석게 선출된 지도자가 있습니까?

오해하지 마시기 바랍니다. 나는 하나님을 신뢰하고 그리스도를 위해 살기 위해 노력하는 예수님을 믿는 많은 사람들이 있다는 것을 압니다. 예, 여기에는 일부 리더가 포함됩니다.

나는 미국을 사랑합니다. 조국을 섬겼지만 하나님과 내가 가장 사랑하는 예수님께 먼저 말씀에 순종하겠습니다.

시 118:8 여호와께 피하는 것이 사람을 의지하는 것보다 나으니이다

미가 7:5 다른 사람을 신뢰하지 마십시오. 친구를 믿지 마세요. 당신의 팔에 있는 문에서 당신의 입의 문을 지키십시오.

예레미야 17장 5절 여호와께서 이와 같이 말씀하시니라 사람을 의지하고 육체를 그의 힘으로 삼고 마음이 여호와에게서 떠나는 사람은 저주를 받을 것이라

시 118:9 여호와께 피하는 것이 방백들을 의지하는 것보다 나으니이다

잠3:5-6 네 마음을 다하여 여호와를 의뢰하고 네 명철을 의지하지 말라 너는 범사에 그를 인정하라 그리하면 네 길을 곧게 하시리라

그러나 많은 사람들이 우리가 선출한 지도자들로부터 정서적 학대를 받고 있다고 생각합니다.

성경은 감정적 학대라는 단어를 사용하지 않지만 성경에는 감정적 학대의 많은 특징이 언급되어 있습니다.

정서적 학대는 언어 폭력, 위협 및 모욕을 포함하여 다양한 형태를 취할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 선출된 많은 지도자들로부터 받은 것과 같습니다.

그리고 비언어적 거부, 방치, 고립; 이러한 행동은 반복되며 정서적 학대의 패턴이 되었습니다. 우리는 어리석음 때문에 자신의 지위를 남용하기로 선택한 선출된 지도자들을 위해서만 기도할 수 있습니다.

나는 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는지 위의 제목에 있는 질문을 기반으로 합니다. 미국 내에서 선출된 지도자들은 낙태, 동성애, crt, 문화 취소, 일광 공격 등을 지원하여 미국 인구에 문제를 부과합니다.

정치인들은 사무실의 오용에 대해 자랑합니다. 정치인들은 연방 법 집행 기관을 사용하여 부모를 협박하여 입 닥치도록 하려고 합니다.

경찰은 매복 공격으로 사망했지만 BLM과 기타 반미 단체는 거리에서 미쳐갔다. 우리가 선출한 많은 지도자들은 완전히 멍청합니다.

성경은 어리석음에 대해 무엇이라고 말하는지 궁금합니다.

어리석음은 하나님께서 그에게 주신 예지를 오용하는 사람에게서 비롯됩니다. 우리 지도자들이 이렇게 하는 것이 보입니까?

어리석은 사람은 자신의 추론 능력을 사용하여 잘못된 결정을 내립니다. 가장 기본적인 유형의 어리석음은 하나님의 존재를 부인하거나 하나님께 "아니오"라고 말하는 것입니다(시편 14:1). 성경은 광기를 격렬한 기질(잠언 14:16-17), 사악한 말(잠언 19:1), 부모에 대한 불순종(잠언 15:5)과 연관시킵니다. 우리는 선천적으로 광기를 가지고 태어나지만 징계는 지혜를 훈련하는 데 도움이 될 것입니다(잠언 22:15).

잠언 19:3에서는 어리석음이 역효과를 낸다고 말합니다. "사람의 미련함은 파멸에 이르느니라." 마가복음 7장 22절에서 예수님은 "어리석음"을 의미하는 단어를 사용했는데 "어리석음"으로 번역됩니다. 이런 맥락에서 예수님은 사람의 마음에서 나오는 것이 무엇이고 사람의 마음을 더럽게 하는지 설명하십니다. 어리석음은 사람이 부패하고 죄악된 본성을 가지고 있다는 증거 중 하나입니다. 잠언 24장 9절은 “미련한 계획은 죄”라고 말합니다. 그러므로 어리석음은 참으로 하나님의 율법을 범하는 것입니다. 죄가 율법을 범하는 것이기 때문입니다(요일 3:4).

미련한 자에게는 하나님의 도가 미련한 것이니라. "십자가의 도는 잃어버린 자들을 위한 광기입니다." (고린도전서 1:18; 참조, 23절). 복음은 구원받지 못한 사람들에게 이해가 되지 않기 때문에 미친 것처럼 보입니다. 어리석은 자는 하나님의 지혜와 완전히 동떨어져 있습니다. 복음은 믿지 않는 자의 본래 지성과 이성에 어긋나지만 "하나님이 전도의 미련한 것으로 믿는 자들을 구원하기를 기뻐하시니"(고전 1:21).

그리스도를 믿는 사람은 그리스도의 마음(고전 2:16)을 포함하는 하나님의 본성 자체를 받습니다(벧후 1:4). 신자는 성령의 능력을 신뢰함으로써 어리석음을 물리칠 수 있습니다. 당신의 생각은 주님을 기쁘시게 할 수 있고 당신은 당신과 주변 사람들의 삶을 풍요롭게 함으로써 하나님께 영광을 돌리는 결정을 내릴 수 있습니다(빌 4:8-9, 엡 5:18-6:4).

우리의 영원한 운명과 관련하여 한 사람은 그리스도의 복음을 거부하는 어리석은 사람이거나 그리스도를 믿고 자신의 생명을 그분께 바치는 지혜로운 사람입니다(마태복음 7:24-27 참조).). 신자는 자신이 미쳤다고 생각했던 복음이 실제로는 영원한 구원을 주시는 하나님의 지혜임을 알게 됩니다.

저는 많은 사람들이 선출된 지도자들로부터 정서적 학대를 경험하고 있다고 믿습니다.

우리의 지도자들과 이 나라가 하나님께로 돌아갈 수 있도록 기도해 주십시오. 후안14:6-“나는 길이요, 진리요, 생명입니다. 나로 말미암지 않고는 아버지께로 올 자가 없느니라.” 인생에 관한 모든 사람의 질문이 이 구절에 답이 있습니다.

Are we living in a Godless nation and have foolish elected leaders? Please do not get me wrong I know there are many people the trust in God and believe in Jesus trying to live for Christ yes, this includes some of our leaders. I love America I served my country, But God and Jesus I love more in will obey the word of God first. Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Micah 7:5 Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.

Psalm 118:9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

However, I think that many people are suffering from emotional abuse from our elected leaders. The Bible does not use the words emotional abuse, but there are plenty of characteristics of emotional abuse addressed in Scripture.

Emotional abuse can take many forms, including verbal assaults, threats, and insults, such as has been coming from many elected leaders.

And non-verbal rejection, neglect, and isolation; these behaviors are recurring and have become a pattern of emotional abuse. We can only pray for the elected leaders who choose to abuse their position due to their foolishness.

I am basing the above title question on what is going on. Within our nation, our elected leaders support abortion, homosexuality, crt, cancel culture, day light mugging, and so much more, force their issues on the American population.

Politicians are boasting about the misuse of their position. Politicians are trying to intimidate parents into being quiet by using federal law enforcement.

Police being killed in an ambush, yet BLM and other anti-America groups running wild in the streets. Many of our elected leaders are being outright foolish.

I wonder What does the Bible says about foolishness. Foolishness results from a person misusing the intelligence God has given him. Do you see our leaders doing this?

A fool uses his reasoning skills to make wrong decisions. The most basic type of foolishness is denying God's existence or saying "no" to God (Psalm 14:1). The Bible associates folly with a quick temper (Proverbs 14:16–17), perverse speech (Proverbs 19:1), and disobedience to parents (Proverbs 15:5). We are born with innate foolishness, but discipline will help train us in wisdom (Proverbs 22:15).

Proverbs 19:3 says that foolishness is counterproductive: "A person's folly leads to their ruin." Jesus in Mark 7:22 uses a word which means "senselessness" and is translated "folly." In that context Jesus describes what comes out of the heart of man and defiles him. Foolishness is one of the evidences that man has a defiled, sinful nature. Proverbs 24:9 says, "The schemes of folly are sin." Foolishness, then, is really the breaking of God's law, for sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4).

To the fool, God's way is foolishness. "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing." (1 Corinthians 1:18; cf. verse 23). The gospel seems to be foolishness to the unsaved because it doesn't make sense to them. The fool is entirely out of phase with God's wisdom. The gospel goes against the unbeliever's native intelligence and reason, yet "God was pleased through the foolishness of

what was preached to save those who believe" (1 Corinthians 1:21).

Pray for our leaders and for this nation to come back to God. John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” All of man's questions of life are answered in this verse.

Todavía tenemos que estar agradecidos. Nuestro país se encuentra en una encrucijada. La sociedad está cambiando rápidamente y no mejora. Dios nos dice en la Biblia: “En este mundo sufrirás, pero anímate, yo he vencido al mundo”. Todos deberíamos ser testigos valientes de Cristo. El disparo de covid está siendo forzado / ordenado, y se está despidiendo a personas. Pregunte si el gobierno es responsable si alguien pasa el covid por abuso de poder. Puede que sea el hogar de los valientes, pero puede que ya no sea el hogar de los libres. 1 Tesalonicenses 5:18 Nueva Versión Internacional Sea agradecido en todas las circunstancias. Porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para ustedes en Cristo Jesús. Sí, están sucediendo tantas cosas en este momento y da miedo. ¿Qué tan estúpido puede sobrevivir un país? • Abuso de los poderes presidenciales Biden se jacta de llamar a la esposa de un amigo a un hospital abarrotado para recibir tratamiento rápidamente. • Decenas de creyentes muertos y heridos en la explosión de una mezquita afgana • Advierte a EE. UU. Sobre informes de presencia militar estadounidense en China y Taiwán • Al igual que la denunciante Frances Haugen, estos empleados de Facebook han estado advirtiendo sobre los problemas de la empresa durante años. Nadie escuchó. • Indignación en la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza de EE. UU. Porque la orden de vacunación de la Administración de Biden es inminente • Los pobres se vuelven más pobres y los ricos se vuelven más ricos. • Editorial de USA Today critica a Biden DOJ por asistir a la reunión de la junta escolar: 'escándalo' • Tucker Carlson: Seguridad Nacional El estado comienza a parecer que lo controla todo. • Adolescente de California asesinado a tiros en la carretera frente a un tío aterrorizado • Alec Ross: COVID causa robots y el impacto en la fuerza laboral de EE. UU. Será asombroso • Para obligar a los hombres a someterse a una vasectomía, Carlson dice que la regla del Pentágono "está dirigida a hombres con niveles altos de testosterona. • Quitan nuestra libertad • La política está en la prensa • Hijos de Dios que son discriminados Con todo lo que está sucediendo hoy en este país, me temo que nuestros hijos cancelarán la cultura de homosexualidad BLM-CRT y demás. Save the Children-Marvin Gaye Esta canción es motivo de reflexión: [Verso 1] Quiero hacer una pregunta. ¿A quién le importa realmente salvar un mundo desesperado? ¿Que importa? Llegará el momento (llegará el momento) Cuando el mundo no canta (cuando el mundo no canta) Las flores no florecen (las flores no florecen, no) No suenan campanas (no suenan campanas) ¿Que importa? (¿Que importa?) ¿Quién está dispuesto a intentarlo? (¿Quién está dispuesto a intentarlo?) Para salvar el mundo (para salvar el mundo) está condenado a morir (está condenado a morir) Cuando veo el mundo (cuando veo el mundo) lleno de compasión (lleno de compasión) Niños de hoy (niños de hoy) Ellos realmente sufrirán mañana (realmente sufrirán mañana) (¡Oh!) Que vergüenza (que vergüenza) Tan mala forma de vida (tan mala forma de vida) Oh, quien tiene la culpa? (¿A quién culparás?) No podemos dejar de vivir (cuando no podemos dejar de vivir) vive vive) (De por vida) Vive de por vida (Pero que todos vivan) Vive la vida para ... los niños. Oh, la vida para los niños Ya sabes, vamos ... Salvemos a los niños Vamos ... salva a todos los niños (salva al bebé, salva al bebé) (Y si quieres amar ... tienes que salvar al bebé) (Oh, tienes la sensación, tienes la sensación) (Salvarás al bebé, a todos los niños)

[Verso 2] ¿Pero a quién le importa realmente? ¿Quién está dispuesto a intentarlo? para salvar nuestro mundo Para salvar nuestro dulce mundo Para salvar al mundo Es el destino ... el destino de morir Aura la la la la la la oh oh todos cantan

Debemos proteger nuestros derechos y a nuestros hijos.

우리는 여전히 감사해야 합니다. 우리나라는 기로에 서 있습니다. 사회는 빠르게 변화하고 있으며 더 나은 방향으로 변화하고 있지 않습니다. 하나님은 성경에서 우리에게 이렇게 말씀하십니다. "이 세상에서는 너희가 고난을 당하나 담대하라 내가 세상을 이기었노라." 우리는 모두 그리스도의 담대한 증인이 되어야 합니다. covid의 발사가 강제/명령되고 있고, 사람들이 해고되고 있습니다. 누군가가 권력 남용으로 인해 covid를 전달하는 경우 정부가 책임이 있는지 묻습니다. 그것은 용감한 자들의 고향일 수 있지만 더 이상 자유인의 고향이 아닐 수 있습니다. 데살로니가전서 5:18 New International Version 모든 상황에서 감사하십시오. 이것이 그리스도 예수 안에서 너희를 향하신 하나님의 뜻이기 때문이다. 예, 지금 너무 많은 일이 일어나고 있고 무섭습니다. 국가가 얼마나 어리석고 여전히 살아남을 수 있습니까? • 대통령 권한의 남용 바이든은 친구의 아내가 빠른 치료를 받을 수 있도록 붐비는 병원에 전화를 걸었다고 자랑합니다. • 아프가니스탄 모스크 폭발로 수십 명의 신도 사망 및 부상 • 중국, 대만에 미군이 주둔하고 있다는 보도에 대해 미국에 경고 • 내부고발자 Frances Haugen처럼 이 Facebook 직원들은 수년간 회사의 문제에 대해 경고했습니다. 아무도 듣지 않았다. • 바이든 행정부의 백신 명령이 임박함에 따라 미국 관세국경보호청에 대한 분노 • 가난한 사람은 더욱 가난해지고 부자는 더욱 부자가 됩니다. • USA Today 사설은 Biden DOJ가 학교 이사회 회의에 참석한 것에 대해 비판: '스캔들' • Tucker Carlson: 국가 안보 국가가 모든 것을 통제하는 것처럼 보이기 시작합니다. • 겁에 질린 삼촌 앞에서 고속도로 분노 사건으로 캘리포니아 십대 총에 맞아 사망 • Alec Ross: COVID가 로봇을 일으키고 미국 노동력에 미치는 영향은 엄청날 것입니다 • 남성들에게 정관수술을 받도록 강요하기 위해 Carlson은 국방부 규칙이 "높은 테스토스테론 수치를 가진 남성을 대상으로 합니다. • 그들은 우리의 자유를 앗아갑니다 • 정치의 거짓말은 언론에 있다 • 차별받는 하나님의 자녀 오늘날 이 나라에서 일어나고 있는 모든 일과 함께 나는 우리 아이들이 BLM-CRT-동성애-문화 취소 등을 두려워합니다. Save the Children-Marvin Gaye 이 노래는 생각을 위한 음식입니다: [1절] 질문을 하고 싶습니다. 절망적 인 세상을 구하는 데 정말로 관심이있는 사람은 누구입니까? 무슨 상관이야? 때가 올 것이다 (때가 올 것이다) 세상이 노래하지 않을 때 (세상이 노래하지 않을 때) 꽃은 피지 않아 (꽃은 피지 않아, no) 벨이 울리지 않습니다 (종이 울리지 않습니다) 무슨 상관이야?

(누구를 탓할 것인가?) 우리는 삶을 멈출 수 없다 (우리가 삶을 멈출 수 없을 때) 라이브 라이브) (인생을 위해) 인생을 위해 산다 (하지만 모두가 살게 해줘) 아이들을 위한 삶 (Live life for... 아이들. 오, 아이들을 위한 삶) 알다시피, 어서 ... 아이들을 구하자 어서 ... 모든 아이들을 구하십시오 (아기를 구하십시오, 아기를 구하십시오!) (그리고 사랑하고 싶다면 ... 아기를 구해야합니다) (오, 당신은 느낌을 얻었습니다, 당신은 느낌을 얻었습니다) (당신은 아기를 구할 것입니다, 모든 아이들)

[2절] 하지만 누가 정말로 신경을 쓰나요? 누가 기꺼이 시도합니까? 우리의 세계를 구하기 위해 우리의 달콤한 세상을 구하기 위해 세상을 구하기 위해 그것은 운명 ... 죽을 운명 오라라라라라라라라 오 오, 모두 노래해

우리는 우리의 권리뿐만 아니라 아이들도 보호해야 합

당신이 결정하는 위헌 대 합헌

언론의 자유 부모와 미국인의 권리는 내부로부터 공격을 받고 있습니다.

많은 사람들이 서로를 화나게 하고 배신하고 미워할 것입니다.

그 때에 거짓 선지자가 많이 일어나 많은 사람을 미혹하리라. 죄악이 성하므로 많은 사람의 사랑이 식어지리라-마태복음 24:10-12

이것은 위헌으로 간주됩니다

지방 법원 판사는 '태아 심장 박동'' 낙태에 관한 텍사스의 획기적인 법을 막았습니다. 따라서 태아에게 심장 박동이 있으면 살아 있지 않아야 한다고 생각합니다. 그래서 우리 모두는 죽어야 한다고 생각합니다. 또는 우리의 심장 박동은 중요하지 않습니다.

13 용이 바닷가에 섰다. 그리고 나는 바다에서 나오는 짐승을 보았습니다. 뿔이 열이요 머리가 일곱이요 그 뿔에는 열 면류관이 있고 각 머리에는 참람된 이름이 있더라

2 내가 본 그 짐승은 표범과 같으나 발은 곰 같고 입은 사자 같더라 용이 그 짐승에게 자기의 권세와 보좌와 큰 권세를 주었더라.

3 그 짐승의 머리 하나는 치명적인 상처를 입은 것 같았으나 그 치명적인 상처는 나았다. 온 세상이 놀라서 그 짐승을 따랐습니다.

4 백성이 용이 짐승에게 권세를 주므로 용에게 경배하고 또 짐승에게 경배하여 가로되 누가 그 짐승과 같으리요 누가 그와 전쟁을 할 수 있습니까?

5 그 짐승이 입으로 교만한 말과 훼방을 말하며 마흔두 달 동안 그 권세를 행사하니라

6 그가 입을 열어 하나님을 훼방하며 그의 이름과 그의 거처와 하늘에 거하시는 자들을 훼방하였도다

7 그는 하나님의 거룩한 백성과 싸워 이기는 권세를 받았다. 그리고 모든 족속과 백성과 언어와 나라를 다스리는 권세를 받으셨습니다.

요점은 분명합니다. 우리가 그리스도를 부인하거나 우리의 믿음을 타협하지 않고 이것을 할 수 있다면 우리는 항상 지배권과 협력하기 위해 노력해야 합니다. 그렇다고 해서 우리가 귀하의 모든정책을 따르지 않거나 당사가 취하는 각 특정 조치를 승인할 것입니다. 특히 민주주의 사회에서는 더욱 그렇습니다.

inconstitucional vs constitucional tu decides

Los derechos de los padres de libertad de expresión y los estadounidenses están siendo atacados desde adentro.

Muchos se ofenderán, se traicionarán y se odiarán unos a otros.

Entonces se levantarán muchos falsos profetas y engañarán a muchos. Y debido a que abundará la iniquidad, el amor de muchos se enfriará.-Mateo 24: 10-12

Esto se considera inconstitucional

El juez de la corte de distrito bloquea la histórica ley de Texas sobre el aborto por `` latidos del corazón fetal '': entonces, supongo que si un fetal tiene latidos, no debe estar vivo. Entonces supongo que todos debemos estar muertos. o nuestro latido no importa.

El derecho de una persona en virtud de la Constitución a optar por un aborto antes de la viabilidad fetal está bien establecido. Plenamente consciente de que privar a sus ciudadanos de este derecho mediante la acción directa del estado sería flagrantemente inconstitucional, el Estado ideó un esquema legal transparente y sin precedentes para hacer precisamente eso ", escribió el juez federal de distrito Robert Pittman, del Distrito Oeste de Texas, División de Austin. en un fallo de 113 páginas El aborto es un asesinato, investiga la palabra de Dios.

Pero esto no es:

Implantando nuevos mandatos de vacunas para 100 millones de estadounidenses Es una ley que dice que debe estar vacunado para hacer ciertas cosas como trabajar, viajar o incluso asistir a un concierto. Y qué hay de la señora a la que le quitaron / le negaron un trasplante de riñón porque no tenía la inyección. Entonces, ¿nos hemos vuelto tan inhumanos que estaremos dispuestos a dejar morir a alguien porque no recibió un disparo? Casi 7 de cada 10 padres se oponen a los mandatos de vacunas para los estudiantes, según una encuesta, ¿no está esto violando mis derechos constitucionales? Supongo que no. Decisión reciente del Departamento (DOJ) de investigar posibles actos de violencia contra las juntas escolares en todo el país.

El poder absoluto corrompe absolutamente.

El Departamento de Justicia (DOJ) se enfrenta a una ola de reacciones violentas mientras los padres critican su reciente decisión de investigar posibles actos de violencia contra las juntas escolares en todo el país. Los padres responden a las declaraciones de las juntas escolares del DOJ: '¿Soy lo que parece un terrorista doméstico? Sí, la Biblia menciona la corrupción del gobierno:

Dios establece el gobierno.

La Biblia tiene advertencias sobre el creciente poder del gobierno. Apocalipsis 13: 1-10 Nueva Versión Internacional La Bestia del Mar

13 El dragón se paró a la orilla del mar. Y vi una bestia que salía del mar. Tenía diez cuernos y siete cabezas, con diez coronas en sus cuernos, y en cada cabeza un nombre blasfemo.

2 La bestia que vi se parecía a un leopardo, pero tenía pies como los de un oso y una boca como la de un león. El dragón le dio a la bestia su poder y su trono y gran autoridad.

3 Una de las cabezas de la bestia parecía haber tenido una herida mortal, pero la herida mortal había sido curada. El mundo entero se llenó de asombro y siguió a la bestia.

4 La gente adoraba al dragón porque había dado autoridad a la bestia, y también adoraban a la bestia y preguntaban: “¿Quién es como la bestia? ¿Quién puede hacerle la guerra?

5 A la bestia se le dio boca para pronunciar palabras orgullosas y blasfemias y para ejercer su autoridad durante cuarenta y dos meses.

6 Abrió su boca para blasfemar contra Dios y para calumniar su nombre, su morada y los que viven en el cielo.

7 Se le dio poder para hacer la guerra contra el pueblo santo de Dios y conquistarlo. Y se le dio autoridad sobre cada tribu, pueblo, idioma y nación.

8 Todos los habitantes de la tierra adorarán a la bestia, todos cuyos nombres no están escritos en el libro de la vida del Cordero, el Cordero que fue inmolado desde la creación del mundo.

9 El que tenga oídos, que oiga.

10 “Si alguno ha de ir al cautiverio, al cautiverio irán. Si alguien ha de morir [c] a espada, con la espada los matarán ".

Esto requiere paciencia y fidelidad por parte del pueblo de Dios. Investigue usted mismo: Sin embargo, la Biblia sí ordena a los cristianos que "se sometan ... a las autoridades gobernantes" (Romanos 13: 1) y oren "por los reyes y todos los que están en autoridad, para que podamos llevar una vida tranquila y pacífica en toda piedad y reverencia ”(I Timoteo 2: 2). Estas palabras son aún más sorprendentes cuando nos damos cuenta de que Pablo las escribió durante los reinados de los emperadores romanos Nerón y Calígula, dos de los peores tiranos conocidos en la historia.

El punto está claro. Si podemos hacerlo sin negar a Cristo o comprometer nuestra fe, siempre debemos esforzarnos por cooperar con los poderes gobernantes. Eso no significa necesariamente que respaldaremos todas sus políticas o aprobaremos cada acción específica que tomen. Esto es especialmente cierto en una sociedad democrática.

unconstitutional vs constitutional you decide

Free speech parents' rights and Americans' are under attack from within.

Many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. — Matthew 24:10–12

This is considered unconstitutional

District court judge blocks landmark Texas 'fetal heartbeat' abortion law: so, I guess if a fetal has a heartbeat they must not be alive. Then I guess we all must be dead. or our heartbeat does not matter.

A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an abortion prior to fetal viability is well established. Fully aware that depriving its citizens of this right by direct state action would be flagrantly unconstitutional, the State contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme to do just that," U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman, of the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, wrote in a 113-page ruling. Abortion is murder research God's word.

But this is not:

Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans It is a law that says you must be vaccinated to do certain things like working, traveling, or even attending a concert. And what about the lady that was removed/denied a kidney transplant because she did not have the shot. So, have we become so inhumane that we will be willing to let someone die because they did not get a shot? Nearly 7 in 10 parents oppose vaccine mandates for students, poll finds Is this not violating my constitutional rights. I guess not. Department (DOJ) recent decision to investigate potential acts of violence against school boards across the country.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Justice Department (DOJ) is facing a wave of backlash as parents criticize its recent decision to investigate potential acts of violence against school boards across the country. Parents respond to DOJ, school boards' statements: 'I am what a domestic terrorist looks like? Yes, the Bible does mention government corruption:

God sets up the government.

The Bible has warnings about the increasing power of government. Revelation 13:1-10 New International Version The Beast out of the Sea

13 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.

3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.

6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.

7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.

8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.

10 “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people. Please research for yourself: However, The Bible does in fact command Christians to “submit … to the governing authorities” (Romans 13:1) and to pray “for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (I Timothy 2:2). These words even more striking when we realize that Paul penned them during the reigns of the Roman emperors Nero and Caligula, two of the worst tyrants known to history.

The point is clear. If we can do so without denying Christ or compromising our faith, we must always strive to cooperate with the ruling powers. That does not necessarily mean that we will endorse all their policies or approve of every specific action they take. This is especially true in a democratic society.

Fíjate bien en lo que está sucediendo aquí y ahora: el signo de los tiempos está a nuestro alrededor. Pregunta ¿Estás listo para poner a Jesús en primer lugar en tu vida, sí, por encima de la familia y los amigos? Mateo 6:33 (Versión King James)

33. Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia; y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas.

Todos queremos amar a Dios más que a nada y darle prioridad en nuestras vidas, pero ... La verdad es que la mayoría de nosotros aún no lo hemos logrado. ¿Por qué? Quizás porque no sabemos que amamos otras cosas más de lo que amamos a Dios. El amor no es algo que puedas mostrar o dar con palabras sino con tus actos.

Si amamos a Dios más que nada significa que Dios es nuestra prioridad, y si Dios es nuestra prioridad, trabajamos más duro para alcanzar y hacer la voluntad de Dios en nuestras vidas en comparación con nuestras propias metas que nos propusimos lograr. Entonces, si la voluntad de Dios es nuestra prioridad, deberíamos sentir el impulso de cumplir la voluntad de Dios, el mismo o incluso más significativo que el impulso de pagar nuestras cuentas, comer, estudiar, trabajar. Nuestra prioridad es lo que evaluamos y debemos hacer primero.

¿Significa esto que tenemos que dejar todo e ir a orar y ayunar? "NO", pero significa dejar que las decisiones que tomamos durante el día sean guiadas por Dios. "¿Qué? ¿Significa que debemos orar cada vez que vamos a tomar una decisión?" NO "y" Sí "; sin embargo, debemos pedirle a Dios que nos guíe en todas las cosas; orar es comunicarse con Dios; lo hacemos No es necesario ser una persona en particular para orar. Siempre podemos caminar y hablar con Dios.

Es bueno decir todo esto, pero ¿se puede hacer? "Sí, Jesús nos mostró que se puede hacer cuando Él vivió como un hombre entre nosotros" Nuestro principal problema es que no sabemos lo que Dios quiere. Entonces, nuestro primer paso es conocer a Dios, a Jesús y al Espíritu Santo y conocer la forma en que ven las cosas de este mundo y lo que piensan de ellas. Podemos llegar a conocer a Dios leyendo la Biblia y hablando (orando, adorando). Entonces, al leer la verdadera palabra de la Biblia hablada por Dios y orar, llegamos a conocer a Dios, lo que significa que cuanto más leemos y más oramos, más rápido llegamos a conocer a Dios. Entonces, si Dios es nuestra prioridad, entonces leer la Biblia y orar es nuestra prioridad. Entonces, si la voluntad de Dios es nuestra esperanza y oración, conocer Su voluntad debe ser una prioridad. Entonces, leer la Biblia y orar también es una prioridad. Leer la Biblia y orar y pedir entendimiento y sabiduría es nuestra manera de llegar a conocer a Dios nuestro Padre por medio de su amado Hijo Jesucristo, Jesús le dijo: Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida: nadie viene a la tierra. Padre, pero por mí. de lo que los hacemos lo máximo que podemos. Si Dios es nuestra prioridad, todo lo demás es menos crítico pero aún significativo. ¿Entonces, que debemos hacer? Lo que tenemos que hacer es dejar de intentar encajar la voluntad de Dios en nuestro estilo de vida; sin embargo, haga de la voluntad de Dios nuestro completo estilo de vida, deje de buscar el tiempo que queda para orar y leer la Biblia; y empieza a leer la Biblia y a orar y haz el resto en el tiempo que queda.

Si queremos buscar a Dios 2 horas al día, entonces tú y yo tenemos un problema, estamos haciendo a Dios menos esencial pero otras cosas más importantes dentro de las 22 horas que quedan en nuestro día, si el día no es lo suficientemente largo, no hagas de Dios. atemporal conviértalo en la puesta del sol prioritaria las 24 horas del día, Salmo 118: 24 New King James Version 24 Este es el día que hizo el Señor; Nos regocijaremos y nos alegraremos en ello. No hay nada más importante que hacer de la voluntad de Dios nuestra prioridad. Quien ama a Dios hace Su voluntad, entonces Su voluntad es nuestra prioridad si amamos a Dios. Entonces, ¿a quién elegirás para servir y cuál es tu prioridad, como está escrito en la palabra de Dios? Josué 24:15 Nueva Versión Internacional 15 Pero si servir al Señor les parece indeseable, elijan hoy a quién servirán, si a los dioses que sirvieron sus antepasados al otro lado del Éufrates, oa los dioses de los amorreos, en cuya tierra viven. Pero yo y mi casa serviremos al Señor ".

Take a good look at what is happening here and now: the sign of the times is all around us. Question Are you ready to put Jesus first in your life, yes above family and friends. Matthew 6:33 (King James Version)

33.But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

We all want to love God more than anything and give Him the priority in our lives, but......The truth is that most of us are not there yet. Why? Maybe because we do not know that we love other things more than we love God. Love is not something you can show or give with words but with your acts.

If we love God more than anything means that God is our priority, and if God is our priority, we work harder to reach and do God's will within our lives compared to our own goals we set to achieve. So, if God's will be our priority, we should feel the urge to fulfill God's will, the same or even more significant as the urge of paying our bills, eating, studying, working. Our priority is what we evaluate, and we must do first.

Does this mean we need to leave everything and go praying and fasting? "NO, "but it means to let the choices we make during the day be guided by God. "What? Does it mean that we need to pray every time we are going to make a choice? "NO" and" Yes"; however, we need to ask God for guidance in all things; praying is communicating with God; we do not need to be a particular person to pray. We can always walk and talk with God.

All this is nice to say, but can it be done? "Yes, Jesus showed us that it can be done when He lived as a man between us" Our main problem is that we do not know what God wants. So, our first step is getting to know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and getting to know the way they see the things of this world and what they think about them. We can get to know God by reading the Bible and talking (praying, worshiping). So, by reading the true God-spoken word of the Bible and praying, we get to know God, which means the more we read and the more we pray, the faster we get to know God. So, if God is our priority, then reading the Bible and praying is our priority. So, if God's will be our hope and prayer, getting to know His will must be a priority. Then, reading the Bible and praying is also a priority. Reading the Bible and praying and asking for understanding and wisdom is our way to get to know God our Father through his loving Son Jesus Christ, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. than we do them the most we can. If God is our priority, everything else is less critical but still significant. So, what must we do? What we need to do is stop trying to fit God's will in our lifestyle; however, make God's will our complete lifestyle, stop looking for the time that is left to pray and read the Bible; and start reading the Bible and praying and do the rest in the time that is left.

If we want to seek God 2 hours a day, then you and I have a problem we are making God less essential but other things more important within the 22 hours left in our day, if the day is not long enough, do not make God's timeless make it the priority sunup sundown 24 hours a day, Psalm 118:24 New King James Version 24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. There is nothing more important than making God's will our priority. Who Love's God does His will, so His will is our priority if we love God. So, whom will you choose to serve and your priority as for as it is written in God's word: Joshua 24:15 New International Version 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

King James Bible Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Esta noche hablé con una joven que confía y cree en Jesucristo. Sin embargo, los miembros de su familia no, así que empiezo a investigar este asunto, no solo para ella sino para cualquier persona (creyente cristiano) que esté experimentando este problema. También recuerde que la guerra espiritual es real.

Tú, sin embargo, no estás en la carne sino en el Espíritu, si de hecho el Espíritu de Dios mora en ti. Quien no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, no le pertenece ”. Romanos 8: 9

¿Tienes el Espíritu de Cristo en ti?

Pablo nos enseña que los creyentes no están controlados por nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa (también conocida como "en la carne"). En cambio, los cristianos están controlados por el Espíritu. Esta es una enseñanza fundamental para vivir una vida cristiana.

Si pones tu fe en Jesucristo, ¡entonces Su Espíritu vivirá en ti!

Hoy, rezo para que el Espíritu siempre me enseñe y me guíe mientras camino por la vida.

En algún momento, todo cristiano ha tenido un familiar, un amigo, un compañero de trabajo o un conocido que no es cristiano. Compartir el evangelio con otros puede ser difícil y puede volverse aún más difícil cuando se trata de alguien con quien tenemos estrechos lazos emocionales. La Biblia nos dice que algunas personas se ofenderán con el evangelio (Lucas 12: 51-53). Sin embargo, se nos manda compartir el evangelio y no hay excusa para no hacerlo (Mateo 28: 19-20; Hechos 1: 8; 1 Pedro 3:15). Entonces, al evaluar el papel que juega nuestro débil y tropezante testimonio en la incredulidad de los miembros de nuestra familia, recordemos a Jesús; ni siquiera un testigo perfecto garantiza que los seres queridos verán y abrazarán el evangelio. Debemos humillarnos y arrepentirnos cuando pecamos. Pero recordemos que el Dios de este mundo y el pecado que habita en nosotros es lo que ciega la mente de los incrédulos (2 Corintios 4: 4). Entonces, ¿cómo podemos evangelizar a nuestros familiares, amigos, compañeros de trabajo y conocidos? Lo más importante que podemos hacer es orar por ellos. Ore para que Dios cambie sus corazones y abra sus ojos a la verdad del evangelio (2 Corintios 4: 4). Ore para que Dios los convenza de su amor por ellos y de su necesidad de salvación a través de Jesucristo (Juan 3:16). Ore pidiendo sabiduría sobre la mejor manera de ministrarles (Santiago 1: 5). Pablo exhorta a los creyentes “a que se hagan súplicas, oraciones, intercesiones y acciones de gracias por todos” y afirma que “esto es bueno y agradable a los ojos de Dios nuestro Salvador, que desea que todas las personas se salven y vengan a el conocimiento de la verdad ". (1 Timoteo 2: 1)

Debemos estar dispuestos y ser valientes en nuestro compartir real del evangelio. Proclame el mensaje de salvación a través de Jesucristo a sus amigos y familiares (Romanos 10: 9-10). Esté siempre preparado para hablar de su fe (1 Pedro 3:15), haciéndolo con gentileza y respeto. No hay sustituto para compartir personalmente el evangelio: “La fe proviene de escuchar el mensaje, y el mensaje se escucha a través de la palabra acerca de Cristo” (Romanos 10:17).

Además de orar y compartir nuestra fe, también debemos vivir una vida cristiana piadosa frente a nuestros amigos y familiares para que puedan ver el cambio que Dios ha hecho en nosotros (1 Pedro 3: 1-2). En última instancia, debemos dejar la salvación de nuestros seres queridos en manos de Dios. Es el poder y la gracia de Dios lo que salva a las personas, no nuestros esfuerzos. Lo mejor que podemos hacer es orar por ellos, darles testimonio y vivir la vida cristiana frente a ellos. Es Dios quien da el aumento (1 Corintios 3: 6).

No dude que el Señor es misericordioso y desea que las personas se salven. Ore por su salvación, confiando en lo que Dios ha dicho sobre sí mismo y alineando sus deseos con los suyos.

Tonight, I spoke with a young lady that trust and believes in Jesus Christ. However, her family members do not, so I start to research this matter, not just for her but for anyone (Christian-believer) that is experience this issue. Also remember that spiritual warfare is real.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.” Romans 8:9

Do you have the Spirit of Christ in you?

Paul teaches us that believers are not controlled by our sinful nature (a.k.a. “in the flesh”). Christians are instead controlled by the Spirit. This is a cornerstone teaching to living a Christian life.

If you put your faith in Jesus Christ, then His Spirit will live in you!

Today, I am praying that the Spirit always teaches me and guides me as I walk through life

At some point, every Christian has had a family member, a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance who is not a Christian. Sharing the gospel with others can be difficult, and it can become even more difficult when it involves someone with whom we have close emotional ties. The Bible tells us that some people will be offended at the gospel (Luke 12:51–53). However, we are commanded to share the gospel, and there is no excuse for not doing so (Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15). So as we assess the role our weak, stumbling witness plays in our family members’ unbelief, let’s remember Jesus — not even a perfect witness guarantees that loved ones will see and embrace the gospel. We must humble ourselves and repent when we sin. But let’s remember that the God of this world and indwelling sin is what blinds the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4). So, how can we evangelize our family members, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances? The most important thing we can do is pray for them. Pray that God would change their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). Pray that God would convince them of His love for them and their need for salvation through Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Pray for wisdom as to how to best minister to them (James 1:5). Paul urges believers “that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people” and affirms that “this is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim. 2:1)

We must be willing and bold in our actual sharing of the gospel. Proclaim the message of salvation through Jesus Christ to your friends and family (Romans 10:9–10). Always be prepared to speak of your faith (1 Peter 3:15), doing so with gentleness and respect. There is no substitute for personally sharing the gospel: “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17).

In addition to praying and sharing our faith, we must also live godly Christian lives in front of our friends and family members so they can see the change God has made in us (1 Peter 3:1–2). Ultimately, we must leave the salvation of our loved ones up to God. It is God’s power and grace that saves people, not our efforts. The best we can do is pray for them, witness to them, and live the Christian life in front of them. It is God who gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6).

Don’t doubt that the Lord is gracious and desires people to be saved. Pray on for their salvation, trusting in what God has said about himself, and aligning your desires with his.

Hay poder en el nombre de Jesús:

Isaías 53: 5, que luego se cita en 1 Pedro 2:24, es un versículo clave sobre la curación, pero a menudo se malinterpreta y se aplica mal. “Pero él fue traspasado por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestras iniquidades; el castigo que nos trajo la paz recayó sobre él, y por sus heridas fuimos curados ”. La palabra traducida como "curado" puede significar curación espiritual o física. Sin embargo, los contextos de Isaías 53 y 1 Pedro 2 dejan en claro que está hablando de sanidad espiritual. “Él mismo llevó nuestros pecados en su cuerpo sobre el madero, para que muramos a los pecados y vivamos por la justicia; por sus heridas fuisteis curados ”(1 Pedro 2:24). El versículo habla del pecado y la justicia, no de la enfermedad y la dolencia. Por lo tanto, ser "sanado" en ambos versículos se refiere a ser perdonado y salvo, no a ser sanado físicamente.

La Biblia no vincula específicamente la curación física con la curación espiritual. A veces, las personas se curan físicamente cuando ponen su fe en Cristo, pero no siempre es así. A veces es la voluntad de Dios sanar, pero a veces no lo es. El apóstol Juan nos da la perspectiva adecuada: “Esta es la confianza que tenemos al acercarnos a Dios: que si pedimos algo conforme a Su voluntad, Él nos escucha. Y si sabemos que Él nos escucha, cualquier cosa que le pidamos, sabemos que tenemos lo que le pedimos ”(1 Juan 5: 14-15). Dios todavía realiza milagros. Dios todavía sana a la gente. La enfermedad, el dolor y la muerte siguen siendo realidades en este mundo. A menos que el Señor regrese, todos los que estén vivos hoy morirán, y la gran mayoría de ellos (incluidos los cristianos) morirá como resultado de un problema físico (enfermedad, dolencia, lesión). No siempre es la voluntad de Dios sanarnos físicamente.

En última instancia, nuestra curación física completa nos espera en el cielo. En el cielo, no habrá más dolor, enfermedad, sufrimiento o muerte (Apocalipsis 21). Todos debemos estar menos preocupados por nuestra condición física en este mundo y mucho más preocupados por nuestra condición espiritual (Romanos 12: 1-2). Entonces podremos enfocar nuestro corazón en el cielo, donde ya no tendremos que lidiar con problemas físicos. Apocalipsis 21: 4 describe la verdadera curación que todos deberíamos anhelar: “Enjugará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos. No habrá más muerte ni llanto ni llanto ni dolor, porque el antiguo orden de las cosas ha pasado ”.

reflexiona sobre esto: la hospitalidad curativa Los titulares repetidos sobre la violencia pueden hacernos “sentir ganas de cerrar nuestras puertas y nunca volver a entrar en la sociedad”, escribe el pastor y autor Max Lucado. Después de otro tiroteo masivo, escribió un artículo de opinión en línea que instaba a las personas a hacer exactamente lo contrario al abrir sus puertas, sus corazones y sus círculos.

“No es casualidad que hospitalidad y hospital provengan de la misma palabra latina”, escribe Lucado, “porque ambos conducen al mismo resultado: curación. Cuando le abres la puerta a alguien, estás enviando este mensaje: 'Tú importas' ".

Debido a que la vida diaria está llena de rechazos, extender una invitación, incluso a una comida sencilla, puede cambiar la vida, sostiene Lucado. Lo que crees que es una casa desordenada podría ser un santuario para otra persona, "y para aquellos que comen solos todas las noches, cerdo y frijoles en platos de papel saben a filet mignon". Nuestras mesas de cocina son "las armas secretas de Dios en la guerra contra el miedo", dice Lucado. "Nunca sabemos lo que hará una comida".

Isaiah 53:5, which is then quoted in 1 Peter 2:24, is a key verse on healing, but it is often misunderstood and misapplied. “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” The word translated “healed” can mean either spiritual or physical healing. However, the contexts of Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2 make it clear that it is speaking of spiritual healing. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). The verse is talking about sin and righteousness, not sickness and disease. Therefore, being “healed” in both these verses is speaking of being forgiven and saved, not physically healed.

The Bible does not specifically link physical healing with spiritual healing. Sometimes people are physically healed when they place their faith in Christ, but this is not always the case. Sometimes it is God’s will to heal, but sometimes it is not. The apostle John gives us the proper perspective: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him” (1 John 5:14-15). God still performs miracles. God still heals people. Sickness, disease, pain, and death are still realities in this world. Unless the Lord returns, everyone who is alive today will die, and the vast majority of them (Christians included) will die as the result of a physical problem (disease, sickness, injury). It is not always God’s will to heal us physically.

Ultimately, our full physical healing awaits us in heaven. In heaven, there will be no more pain, sickness, disease, suffering, or death (Revelation 21). We all need to be less preoccupied with our physical condition in this world and a lot more concerned with our spiritual condition (Romans 12:1-2). Then we can focus our hearts on heaven where we will no longer have to deal with physical problems. Revelation 21:4 describes the true healing we should all be longing for: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

ponder this: Healing hospitality Repeated headlines about violence can make us “feel like locking our doors and never entering society again,” writes pastor and author Max Lucado. After another mass shooting, he penned an online opinion piece that urged people to do the exact opposite by opening their doors, their hearts and their circles.

“It’s no accident that hospitality and hospital come from the same Latin word,” Lucado writes, “for they both lead to the same result: healing. When you open your door to someone, you are sending this message: ‘You matter.’”

Because daily life is filled with rejections, extending an invitation — even to a simple meal — can be life-altering, Lucado contends. What you think is a messy house might be a sanctuary to someone else, “and to those who eat alone every night, pork and beans on paper plates tastes like filet mignon.” Our kitchen tables are “God’s secret weapons in the war on fear,” Lucado says. “We never know what one meal will do.”

American Style Excuses – SEX now that I have your attention is Americans Blissfully Ignorant About the Second Coming of Christ: ignorance of the law in court is not a defense, so do not be ignorance about the second coming.

Do you know the law requires that almost every chemical or medicine sold in the United States be labeled for its contraindications or possible hazardous use? Why won’t people take a warning from God about the perils of ignoring his promise to return and judge the whole world? just asking

Do we rally know about the dangers of the covid vaccine/booster? I’m not advocating for nor against covid shot I just believe it should be a personal decision not the governments.

We should focus on the word of God more, not on the science of man. Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian’s belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not.

Our belief in God is a belief of faith. We have faith in His Son for salvation, faith in His Word for instruction, and faith in His Holy Spirit for guidance. Our faith in God should be absolute, since when we put our faith in God, we depend on a perfect, omnipotent, omniscient Creator. Our belief in science should be intellectual and nothing more. We can count on science to do many great things, but we can also count on science to make lots of huge mistakes. If we put faith in science, we depend on imperfect, sinful, limited, mortal men. Science throughout history has been wrong about many things, such as the shape of the earth, powered flight, vaccines, blood transfusions, and even reproduction. God is never wrong.

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” - Mark 11:24

Belief. This is a very strong word. I also call it faith.

Faith is to believe what you do not see, the reward of faith is what you believe.

When I believe in something, it gives me the power to go forward, proceed and accomplish my goals. When I pray, I truly believe that I will get what I prayed for.

Have you ever prayed and truly believed you will receive it? It has a huge power!

Question:

Because Jesus said ...but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mt 24:36, doesn’t that mean that we shouldn’t spend too much time learning about the second coming of Christ?

Answer:

To use this verse as an incentive to ignore second coming doctrine would he the same as using it as an excuse. And which many people do, in fact, we need only to go to the very next verse to see that is not what Christ was saying by any stretch of the imagination.... Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Mt 24:37. The keyword in this verse is watch, be on guard,and that implies an active and thoughtful pondering, perusing and studying the whole aspect of the promise of his return (JESUS). It is painfully obvious that Jesus did not expect us to stand around gazing into the sky all day looking for him on a white horse. The verb watch is active, and at the very least means to he aware of the full meaning of everything to do with his second coming.

We have all heard some preacher reminding us of how many times a subject is alluded to in scripture as a means of emphasizing the urgency or the validity of some particular Bible teaching. I have told others hundreds of times, just to note the times Jesus began a statement with, verily, verily. It clearly was a means of raising the seriousness of what he was saying. The scripture is not just redundant as it applies to second coming doctrine, but it is replete. The second coming messages of the Bible make up about one quarter of the entire scripture, including old and new testaments. If God saw fit to give that much attention to making Christ’s return known to us how can we dismiss it as an unneeded or extraneous doctrine that shouldn’t be given much attention? I would say that to espouse this kind of approach borders on disobedience not just misinformation or laziness.

Now more than ever before, as the signs are being fulfilled all around us, we are under the greatest call of all time to study, contemplate and proclaim this most serious doctrine.

The second coming of Jesus Christ is the hope of believers that God is in control of all things and is faithful to the promises and prophecies in His Word. In His first coming, Jesus Christ came to earth as a baby in a manger in Bethlehem, just as prophesied. Jesus fulfilled many of the prophecies of the Messiah during His birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection. However, there are some prophecies regarding the Messiah that Jesus has not yet fulfilled. The second coming of Christ will be the return of Christ to fulfill these remaining prophecies. In His first coming, Jesus was the suffering Servant. In His second coming, Jesus will be the conquering King. In His first coming, Jesus arrived in the humblest of circumstances. In His second coming, Jesus will arrive with the armies of heaven at His side.

Question:

If as Jesus said, we cannot know the day or the hour. What can we know? Can we know within a year, a decade or some measurement of time’?

Answer:

The Old Testament prophets did not make clearly this distinction between the two comings. This can be seen in Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7 and Zechariah 14:4. As a result of the prophecies seeming to speak of two individuals, many Jewish scholars believed there would be both a suffering Messiah and a conquering Messiah. What they failed to understand is that there is only one Messiah and He would fulfill both roles. Jesus fulfilled the role of the suffering servant (Isaiah chapter 53) in His first coming. Jesus will fulfill the role of Israel’s deliverer and King in His second coming. Zechariah 12:10 and Revelation 1:7, describing the second coming, look back to Jesus being pierced. Israel, and the whole world, will mourn for not having accepted the Messiah the first time He came.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, the angels declared to the apostles, “‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven’” (Acts 1:11). Zechariah 14:4 identifies the location of the second coming as the Mount of Olives. Matthew 24:30 declares, “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.” Titus 2:13 describes the second coming as a “glorious appearing.”

The second coming is spoken of in greatest detail in Revelation 19:11-16, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Hoy es jueves 23 de septiembre de 2021 Excusas al estilo americano: el SEXO ahora que tengo su atención son los estadounidenses felizmente ignorantes sobre la segunda venida de Cristo: la ignorancia de la ley en los tribunales no es una defensa, así que no ignore la segunda venida. ¿Sabe que la ley exige que casi todos los productos químicos o medicamentos vendidos en los Estados Unidos estén etiquetados por sus contraindicaciones o posibles usos peligrosos? ¿Por qué la gente no acepta una advertencia de Dios sobre los peligros de ignorar su promesa de regresar y juzgar al mundo entero? sólo preguntaba ¿Conocemos los peligros de la vacuna / refuerzo de covid? No estoy abogando ni a favor ni en contra del disparo de covid, solo creo que debería ser una decisión personal, no de los gobiernos. Deberíamos centrarnos más en la palabra de Dios, no en la ciencia del hombre. La ciencia se define como "la observación, identificación, descripción, investigación experimental y explicación teórica de los fenómenos". La ciencia es un método que la humanidad puede utilizar para obtener una mayor comprensión del universo natural. Es una búsqueda de conocimiento a través de la observación. Los avances en la ciencia demuestran el alcance de la lógica y la imaginación humanas. Sin embargo, la creencia de un cristiano en la ciencia nunca debería ser como nuestra creencia en Dios. Un cristiano puede tener fe en Dios y respeto por la ciencia, siempre que recordemos cuál es perfecta y cuál no.

Nuestra creencia en Dios es una creencia de fe. Tenemos fe en Su Hijo para salvación, fe en Su Palabra para instrucción y fe en Su Espíritu Santo para guía. Nuestra fe en Dios debe ser absoluta, ya que cuando ponemos nuestra fe en Dios, dependemos de un Creador perfecto, omnipotente y omnisciente. Nuestra fe en la ciencia debería ser intelectual y nada más. Podemos contar con la ciencia para hacer muchas cosas maravillosas, pero también podemos contar con la ciencia para cometer muchos errores enormes. Si ponemos fe en la ciencia, dependemos de hombres mortales imperfectos, pecadores, limitados. La ciencia a lo largo de la historia se ha equivocado en muchas cosas, como la forma de la tierra, el vuelo motorizado, las vacunas, las transfusiones de sangre e incluso la reproducción. Dios nunca se equivoca.

“Por eso les digo que todo lo que pidan en oración, crean que lo han recibido y será suyo”.-San Marcos 11:24

Creencia. Esta es una palabra muy fuerte. También lo llamo fe. La fe es creer lo que no ves, la recompensa de la fe es lo que crees.

Cuando creo en algo, me da el poder de seguir adelante, seguir adelante y lograr mis objetivos. Cuando oro, realmente creo que obtendré lo que oré.

¿Alguna vez ha orado y ha creído verdaderamente que lo recibirá? ¡Tiene un poder enorme!

Pregunta: Porque Jesús dijo ... pero del día y la hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles del cielo, sino mi Padre solamente. Mt 24:36, ¿no significa eso que no deberíamos pasar demasiado tiempo aprendiendo sobre la segunda venida de Cristo?

Respuesta: Usar este versículo como incentivo para ignorar la doctrina de la segunda venida sería lo mismo que usarlo como excusa. Y lo que mucha gente hace, de hecho, sólo tenemos que ir al versículo siguiente para ver que no es lo que Cristo estaba diciendo ni con un esfuerzo de imaginación ... Velad, pues, porque no sabéis a qué hora está el Señor. venir. Mt 24:37. La palabra clave en este versículo es vigilar, estar en guardia, y eso implica una ponderación activa y reflexiva, examinando y estudiando todo el aspecto de la promesa de su regreso (JESÚS). Es dolorosamente obvio que Jesús no esperaba que nos quedáramos mirando al cielo todo el día buscándolo en un caballo blanco. El verbo vigilar es activo y, al menos, significa que se da cuenta del significado completo de todo lo que tiene que ver con su segunda venida.

Todos hemos escuchado a algún predicador recordándonos cuántas veces se alude a un tema en las Escrituras como un medio para enfatizar la urgencia o la validez de alguna enseñanza bíblica en particular. Se lo he dicho a otros cientos de veces, solo para notar las veces con las que Jesús comenzó una declaración, en verdad, en verdad. Claramente, era un medio de aumentar la seriedad de lo que estaba diciendo. La escritura no solo es redundante en lo que respecta a la doctrina de la segunda venida, sino que está repleta. Los segundos mensajes venideros de la Biblia constituyen aproximadamente una cuarta parte de toda la Escritura, incluidos el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento. Si Dios consideró oportuno prestar tanta atención a darnos a conocer el regreso de Cristo, ¿cómo podemos descartarlo como una doctrina innecesaria o extraña a la que no se le debe prestar mucha atención? Yo diría que adoptar este tipo de enfoque raya en la desobediencia, no solo en la desinformación o la pereza.

Ahora más que nunca, mientras las señales se están cumpliendo a nuestro alrededor, estamos bajo la mayor llamada de todos los tiempos a estudiar, contemplar y proclamar esta doctrina más seria. La segunda venida de Jesucristo es la esperanza de los creyentes de que Dios tiene el control de todas las cosas y es fiel a las promesas y profecías de Su Palabra. En su primera venida, Jesucristo vino a la tierra como un bebé en un pesebre en Belén, tal como se profetizó. Jesús cumplió al hombrey de las profecías del Mesías durante su nacimiento, vida, ministerio, muerte y resurrección. Sin embargo, hay algunas profecías sobre el Mesías que Jesús aún no ha cumplido. La segunda venida de Cristo será el regreso de Cristo para cumplir estas profecías restantes. En su primera venida, Jesús fue el Siervo sufriente. En su segunda venida, Jesús será el Rey conquistador. En su primera venida, Jesús llegó en la más humilde de las circunstancias. En su segunda venida, Jesús llegará con los ejércitos del cielo a su lado.

Pregunta: Si como dijo Jesús, no podemos saber el día ni la hora. ¿Qué podemos saber? ¿Podemos saberlo dentro de un año, una década o alguna medida de tiempo?

Respuesta: Los profetas del Antiguo Testamento no establecieron claramente esta distinción entre las dos venidas. Esto se puede ver en Isaías 7:14, 9: 6-7 y Zacarías 14: 4. Como resultado de las profecías que parecían hablar de dos personas, muchos eruditos judíos creían que habría tanto un Mesías sufriente como un Mesías conquistador. Lo que no lograron entender es que solo hay un Mesías y Él cumpliría ambos roles. Jesús cumplió el papel del siervo sufriente (Isaías capítulo 53) en Su primera venida. Jesús cumplirá el papel de rey y libertador de Israel en su segunda venida. Zacarías 12:10 y Apocalipsis 1: 7, que describen la segunda venida, miren hacia atrás a Jesús siendo traspasado. Israel y el mundo entero llorarán por no haber aceptado al Mesías la primera vez que vino.

Después de que Jesús ascendió al cielo, los ángeles declararon a los apóstoles: “Varones galileos”, dijeron, “¿por qué estáis aquí mirando al cielo? Este mismo Jesús, que ha sido llevado de ustedes al cielo, volverá de la misma manera que lo vieron ir al cielo ”(Hechos 1:11). Zacarías 14: 4 identifica la ubicación de la segunda venida como el Monte de los Olivos. Mateo 24:30 declara: “En aquel tiempo aparecerá en el cielo la señal del Hijo del Hombre, y lamentarán todas las naciones de la tierra. Verán al Hijo del Hombre venir sobre las nubes del cielo, con poder y gran gloria ”. Tito 2:13 describe la segunda venida como una "aparición gloriosa".

La segunda venida se habla con mayor detalle en Apocalipsis 19: 11-16, “Vi el cielo abierto y delante de mí había un caballo blanco, cuyo jinete se llama Fiel y Verdadero. Con justicia, juzga y hace la guerra. Sus ojos son como fuego ardiente, y en su cabeza hay muchas coronas. Tiene un nombre escrito que nadie conoce más que él mismo. Está vestido con una túnica empapada en sangre y su nombre es la Palabra de Dios. Los ejércitos del cielo lo seguían, montados en caballos blancos y vestidos de lino fino, blanco y limpio. De su boca sale una espada afilada con la que herir a las naciones. Él los regirá con cetro de hierro. Pisa el lagar del vino del furor de la ira del Dios Todopoderoso. En su manto y en su muslo tiene escrito este nombre: REY DE REYES Y SEÑOR DE SEÑORES ”.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Today I will take the “gospel of God” and our praises of God and go to the streets. I will walk and sing and pray and shout our faith and our love to all who will listen — which will raise for many the question: Am I ashamed to do this? no, I'm not ASHAMED.

‘I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ’

The Apostle Paul loved and valued the Gospel. He could truthfully say, ‘I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord’. There was nothing in this life, nothing in this world, nothing in creation, to be compared to the Gospel of Christ. Paul knew this and he preached the Gospel of Christ, not a gospel of man, nor a half gospel, but the whole counsel of God as revealed in the Scriptures.

The result was that he was never ashamed of his faith in Christ. He was not ashamed of it when he was among his own countrymen and their religious leaders who were furiously opposed to the crucified Saviour: ‘And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God’ (Acts 9:20). He was not ashamed at Athens where the Greek intellectuals and philosophers mocked the teaching of the Gospel concerning the resurrection. He was not ashamed of the Gospel at Rome where he met the wealthy and the powerful of this world. There were many things in these places which could have made him ashamed of the Gospel. There was the prejudice of the Jews, the pride of the Gentiles, and the contempt of the Greeks. Paul held fast his faith in Christ, before them all. We read in the Scriptures of the Lord saying to His people: ‘Ye are my witnesses’. Every believer is a witness to the work of the Holy Spirit and to the power of the Gospel in their lives.

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” - Mark 11:24

Belief. This is a very strong word. I also call it faith.

Faith is to believe what you do not see, the reward of faith is what you believe.

When I believe in something, it gives me the power to go forward, proceed and accomplish my goals. When I pray, I truly believe that I will get what I prayed for.

Have you ever prayed and truly believed you will receive it? It has a huge power!

“With God, You’re a Majority

He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:6, NKJV

God is looking for a few good men and women. Men and women who are willing

to go against the current of popular opinion,

to hold firm convictions in a world where “anything goes,”

to speak the truth when it is not politically correct,

to walk with God when everyone else is running away from Him.

God is looking for those who believe

that what He says is more important than what anyone else says,

that what He thinks is more important than what anyone else thinks,

that what He wants is more important than what anyone else wants.

that His will is more important than their own.

God is looking for another Noah. Another Meshach. Another Shadrach. Another Abednego. One person with God is not alone but a majority!“

Let’s be strong, and live for Jesus; not for the world.

Question: "What does the Bible say about pride?"

Answer: There is a difference between the kind of pride that God hates (Proverbs 8:13) and the kind of pride we can feel about a job well done (Galatians 6:4) or the kind of pride we express over the accomplishment of loved ones (2 Corinthians 7:4). The kind of pride that stems from self-righteousness or conceit is sin, however, and God hates it because it is a hindrance to seeking Him.

Psalm 10:4 explains that the proud are so consumed with themselves that their thoughts are far from God: “In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.” This kind of haughty pride is the opposite of the spirit of humility that God seeks: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). The “poor in spirit” are those who recognize their utter spiritual bankruptcy and their inability to come to God aside from His divine grace. The proud, on the other hand, are so blinded by their pride that they think they have no need of God or, worse, that God should accept them as they are because they deserve His acceptance.

Throughout Scripture we are told about the consequences of pride. Proverbs 16:18-19 tells us that “pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.” Satan was cast out of heaven because of pride (Isaiah 14:12-15). He had the selfish audacity to attempt to replace God Himself as the rightful ruler of the universe. But Satan will be cast down to hell in the final judgment of God. For those who rise up in defiance against God, there is nothing ahead but disaster (Isaiah 14:22).

Pride has kept many people from accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. Admitting sin and acknowledging that in our own strength we can do nothing to inherit eternal life is a constant stumbling block for prideful people. We are not to boast about ourselves; if we want to boast, then we are to proclaim the glories of God. What we say about ourselves means nothing in God’s work. It is what God says about us that makes the difference (2 Corinthians 10:18).

Why is pride so sinful? Pride is giving ourselves the credit for something that God has accomplished. Pride is taking the glory that belongs to God alone and keeping it for ourselves. Pride is essentially self-worship. Anything we accomplish in this world would not have been possible were it not for God enabling and sustaining us. “What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?” (1 Corinthians 4:7). That is why we give God the glory—He alone deserves it.

¿Qué está pasando en Estados Unidos? ¿Nos estamos convirtiendo en una nación dictatorial? No socaves mi autoridad. El poder absoluto corrompe absolutamente. Trabajadores estadounidenses, muchos de ellos están siendo extorsionados y retenidos como rehenes por este mandato de disparos covid. Hay fuerza porque muchos trabajadores quieren cuidar a sus familias. Entonces, ¿qué pasa con sus derechos constitucionales, que han sido violados, que también es discriminación? Realidad: Una persona puede respetar la posición pero no respeta a la persona que es la realidad. Satanás está utilizando líderes electos para su destrucción de Estados Unidos. Pero Jesús derrotó a Satanás Y lo derrotará de nuevo.

¿Qué hace que esté bien que una mujer diga mi cuerpo, mis derechos de matar a un niño por nacer, entonces, por qué no está bien que una persona diga que mi vida, mis derechos se negaron a recibir la vacuna de Covid, y no diga que es diferente porque Ambos temas tratan de los derechos en la vida de los demás. Un hombre no tiene voz, así que si una mujer elige abortar, pero él puede querer quedarse con el niño, los abuelos no tienen voz, así que si una mujer quiere un aborto, le gustaría tener nietos. Esta lista puede continuar. Pero mis creencias religiosas como ciudadana estadounidense están siendo amenazadas porque no quiero tener una oportunidad para perder mi trabajo. ¿Es eso la justicia estadounidense solo preguntando? Sí, COVID es real. Sé que lo tenía, pero creo en el poder sanador de Jesucristo. Leer el plasma 91. Según tengo entendido, el Departamento de Justicia quiere intentar entablar una demanda contra Texas porque defendieron la ley al hacer que el aborto fuera ilegal. Me pregunto qué dice la palabra de Dios sobre el aborto: sé que en el libro de proverbios dice hablar por aquellos que no pueden hablar por sí mismos por los derechos de todos los disolutos, hablar y juzgar bastante defender los derechos de los pobres y necesitados en esto proverbios 31 versículos 8 al 9. No, no soy la persona más inteligente del mundo, pero soy lo suficientemente inteligente como para saber que el feto no podría hablar por sí mismo, pensar en eso. También tengo otra pregunta: ¿nuestros líderes están ayudando directa o indirectamente a promover el terrorismo dentro de nuestra nación? Solo hago esta pregunta porque realmente no lo sé, pero mirando lo que está sucediendo aquí y ahora, estoy seguro de que no soy el único que se pregunta esto. Bien, ahora volvamos al tema del aborto. La Biblia nunca se refirió específicamente al aborto; sin embargo, hay numerosas enseñanzas en las Escrituras que dejan muy claro cuál es la visión de Dios sobre el aborto. Jeremías 15 nos dice que Dios nos conoce antes de formarnos en el útero. El Salmo 139, versículo 13 al 16, habla del papel activo de Dios en nuestra creación, luego la formación en el útero, el versículo 22 al 25 prescribe la misma pena es la muerte para alguien que causa la muerte de un bebé en el útero, sí, para alguien que comete un asesinato. Ahora, para mí, esto indica que Dios considera que un bebé en el útero es tanto un ser humano como un adulto como tú y yo. Para una persona que cree en Cristo, un aborto cristiano no es un asunto. de una mujer el derecho a elegir es una cuestión de vida o muerte de un ser humano hecho a imagen de Dios Génesis 1 versículo 26 y 27 Génesis 9 versículo 6, ahora pon lo que dice la Biblia sobre el aborto pon el aborto es asesinato es el asesinato de un ser humano que ha creado una imagen de Dios. ¿Vive el pueblo estadounidense en un estado de terror? Temen perder su trabajo siendo un trabajo federal o gubernamental si se niegan a recibir el disparo de Covid o tienen miedo de ser expulsados de un equipo de la NFL o se niegan a obtener la imagen de Covid, ¿qué pasa con los derechos del pueblo estadounidense? Algo más me sorprende. ¿Por qué alguien querría usar el legado de una persona fallecida para obtener lo que quiere, ya sea un político o simplemente un Joe en las calles? ¿Por qué querrías utilizar a una persona muerta para tu beneficio? Parece que un político en particular está tirando la constitución de los Estados Unidos por la ventana por su propio interés, no Estados Unidos inserta el interés de su propio interés. Basta con mirar alrededor de América. Vivimos en los signos del tiempo, ya sea que elijas creerlo o no.

Creo que hay muchas advertencias en la Biblia sobre el poder del gobierno asumiendo el control o, permítanme decir, el creciente control del gobierno. Sí, como cristianos, debemos obedecer las leyes de la tierra, pero si las leyes de la tierra van en contra de las leyes de Dios, Bing no las seguirá. Quiero aclarar que esto no es ninguna forma de rebelión, ni es un podcast político. Esta es la libertad cristiana. La Biblia declara enfáticamente en Gálatas 5: 1 que los creyentes son libres en Cristo: “Cristo nos hizo libres por la libertad” (Gálatas 5: 1). Antes de que Jesús muriera en una cruz, el pueblo de Dios vivía bajo un complicado sistema de leyes que servía como brújula moral para guiar sus vidas. La Ley, aunque impotente para conceder la salvación o producir la verdadera libertad, señaló el camino a Jesucristo (Gálatas 3: 19-24). Mediante Su muerte en sacrificio, Jesucristo cumplió la Ley, liberando a los creyentes de la ley depecado y muerte. Las leyes de Dios ahora están escritas en nuestro corazón a través del Espíritu de Dios, y somos libres de seguir y servir a Cristo de maneras que lo agraden y lo glorifiquen (Romanos 8: 2-8). En pocas palabras, esta es la definición de libertad cristiana.

Un aspecto esencial de la libertad cristiana es nuestra responsabilidad de no volver a vivir bajo la ley. El apóstol Pablo comparó esto con la esclavitud: “Estad, pues, firmes y no os dejéis cargar otra vez por un yugo de esclavitud” (Gálatas 5: 1). Continuar viviendo bajo la Ley después de la salvación es simplemente una forma legalista de religión. No podemos ganarnos la justicia por medio de la ley; en cambio, el propósito de la Ley era definir nuestro pecado y mostrar nuestra necesidad de un Salvador. La libertad cristiana implica vivir no bajo las onerosas obligaciones de la ley, sino bajo la gracia de Dios: “Porque el pecado ya no será vuestro señor, porque no estáis bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia” (Romanos 6:14).

En Cristo, somos libres del sistema opresivo de la Ley, somos libres de la pena del pecado y somos libres del poder del pecado. La libertad cristiana no es una licencia para pecar. Somos libres en Cristo, pero no libres para vivir como queramos, complaciendo la carne: “Porque ustedes han sido llamados a vivir en libertad, mis hermanos y hermanas. Pero no use su libertad para satisfacer su naturaleza pecaminosa. En cambio, use su libertad para servirse unos a otros en amor ”(Gálatas 5:13, NTV). Los creyentes no son libres de pecar, sino libres de vivir vidas santas en Cristo.

La libertad cristiana es una de las muchas paradojas de la fe cristiana. La verdadera libertad significa convertirse voluntariamente en un esclavo de Cristo, lo cual sucede a través de una relación con Él (Colosenses 2: 16-17). En Romanos 6, Pablo explica que cuando un creyente acepta a Cristo, es bautizado por el Espíritu en la muerte, sepultura y resurrección de Cristo. En ese momento, el creyente deja de ser esclavo del pecado y se convierte en siervo de la justicia: “Pero gracias a Dios, que ustedes, que alguna vez fueron esclavos del pecado, han llegado a ser obedientes de corazón a la norma de enseñanza a la que estaban sometidos. cometidos, y habiendo sido liberados del pecado, han llegado a ser esclavos de la justicia ”(Romanos 6: 17-18, ESV).

Sólo los cristianos conocen la verdadera libertad: “Si el Hijo os hace libres, seréis verdaderamente libres” (Juan 8:36). Pero, ¿cómo se ve la libertad cristiana en un sentido práctico? ¿Qué somos libres de hacer y qué no hacer? ¿Qué podemos ver en la televisión? ¿Qué podemos comer y beber? ¿Qué podemos ponernos para la playa? ¿Qué hay de fumar y beber? ¿Hay límites a la libertad cristiana?

En 1 Corintios 10, el apóstol Pablo da una ilustración práctica de la libertad cristiana: “‘ Todo está permitido, pero no todo es beneficioso. “Todo está permitido, pero no todo es constructivo. Nadie debe buscar su bien, sino el de los demás ”(1 Corintios 10: 23-24, NVI84).

Al escribir a la iglesia en Corinto, Pablo menciona a los miembros que asisten a las comidas en los templos paganos, tal como lo habían hecho antes de recibir a Cristo. Se sentían libres de seguir participando porque pensaban que estos festivales eran simplemente una parte normal de la cultura social y no veían sus acciones como un culto pagano.

Pablo presentó varias advertencias, recordando a los corintios el peligroso coqueteo de Israel con la idolatría en el Antiguo Testamento. Luego manejó la preocupación práctica de comer carne que había sido sacrificada a los ídolos.

“Todo está permitido”, decían los corintios. Es cierto, dice Pablo; Los cristianos tienen mucha libertad en Cristo. Sin embargo, no todo es beneficioso o constructivo. Nuestra libertad en Cristo debe equilibrarse con el deseo de edificar y beneficiar a otros. Al decidir cómo ejercer nuestra libertad cristiana, debemos buscar el bien de los demás antes que nuestro bien.

En el judaísmo, se impusieron restricciones a la compra de carnes en el mercado. Los judíos solo podían comprar y comer carnes kosher. Pablo dijo que los creyentes eran libres en Cristo para comprar y comer cualquier carne (1 Corintios 10: 25-26). Sin embargo, si surgía carne sacrificada a los ídolos, los creyentes debían seguir una ley superior. El amor es lo que limita la libertad cristiana.

Más adelante en el capítulo, Pablo escribió sobre comer carne como invitado en la casa de alguien. Los cristianos son libres de comer lo que se les sirva sin problemas de conciencia (1 Corintios 10:27). Pero, si alguien menciona que la carne ha sido ofrecida a un ídolo, es mejor no comerla por el bien de la persona que planteó el problema de conciencia (versículo 28). Si bien los creyentes tienen la libertad de comer la carne, se ven obligados a considerar qué es lo mejor para quienes observan su comportamiento.

Romanos 14: 1-13 plantea un determinante clave para comprender los límites de la libertad cristiana. En el pasaje, Pablo nuevamente trae a colación el comer carne sacrificada a los ídolos y la observancia de ciertos días santos. Algunos creyentes sintieron libertad en Cristo en estas áreas, mientras que otros no, y sus diferentes perspectivas estaban causando disputas y desunión. Pablo enfatizó que la unidad y el amor en el cuerpo de Cristo son más importantesmás que las convicciones de nadie o la libertad cristiana: “Por tanto, dejemos de juzgarnos unos a otros. En cambio, decídete a no poner tropiezo ni obstáculo en el camino de un hermano o hermana ”(Romanos 14:13).

Esencialmente, el mensaje de Pablo a los creyentes del Nuevo Testamento y a nosotros hoy es este: incluso si creemos que tenemos razón y tenemos libertad cristiana en un área, [sPause sec = 2.6 ePause] si nuestras acciones harán que otro hermano o hermana tropiece en su camino. o su fe, debemos abstenernos por amor.

Pablo volvió a hablar del asunto en 1 Corintios 8: 7-9: “Algunas personas todavía están tan acostumbradas a los ídolos que cuando comen alimentos de sacrificio, piensan que han sido sacrificados a un dios, y como su conciencia es débil, está contaminado. Pero la comida no nos acerca a Dios; no somos peores si no comemos ni mejores si lo hacemos. Sin embargo, tenga cuidado de que el ejercicio de sus derechos no se convierta en un obstáculo para los débiles ".

El problema en los tiempos del Nuevo Testamento era comer carne ofrecida a los ídolos; hoy surgen otras “áreas grises” en nuestro caminar cristiano. Romanos 14: 1 llama a estos “asuntos discutibles”, áreas donde la Biblia no da pautas claras sobre si una conducta es un pecado. Cuando nos enfrentamos a áreas grises, podemos confiar en dos principios rectores para regular nuestra libertad cristiana: dejar que el amor por los demás nos obligue a no hacer que nadie tropiece y dejar que nuestro deseo de glorificar a Dios sea nuestro motivo que lo abarca todo (1 Corintios 10:31).).

What is going on in America? Are we turning into a dictatorship nation? Do not undermine my authority. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. American workers, many of them are being extorted and held hostage by this covid shot mandate. There being force because many workers want to take care of their families. So what about their constitutional rights, which have been violated, which is also discrimination. Reality: A person can respect the position but does not respect the person that's reality. Satan is using leaders elected leaders for his destruction of America. But Jesus defeated Satan AND WILL defeat him again.

What makes it OK for a woman to say my body my rights in kill an unborn child so why is it not okay for a person to say my life my rights in refused to get of Covid shot, and don't say that is different because both issues are dealing with rights in the life of others. A man has no say, so if a woman chooses to get an abortion, but he may want to keep the child, grandparents have no voice, so if a woman wants an abortion, they would like to have grandkids. This list can go on. But my religious beliefs as an American citizen are being threatened taken away from me because I do not want to get a covid shot to lose my job. Is that American justice just asking? Yes, COVID is real. I know I had it, but I believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ. Read plasm 91. To my understanding, you have the Department of Justice wants to try to file suit against Texas because they upheld the law by making abortion illegal. I wonder what God's word says about abortion: I know in the book of proverbs it says speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves for the rights of all who are dissolute speak up and judge pretty defend the rights of the poor and the needy in this proverbs 31 verses 8 through 9. No, I'm not the most intelligent person in the world, but I'm smart enough to know the unborn child could not speak for themselves think about that. I also have another question is our leaders directly or indirectly helping to promote terrorism within our nation? I'm just asking this question because I genuinely don't know but looking at what's going on here and now, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering this. OK, now let's get back to the subject of abortion. The Bible never specifically addressed abortion; however, there are numerous teachings in the scripture that make it abundantly clear what God's view of abortion is. Jeremiah 15 tells us that God knows us before he forms us in the womb. Psalms 139 verse 13 through 16 speaks of God's active role in our creation then the formation in the womb verse 22 through 25 prescribed the same penalty is death for someone who causes the end of a baby in the womb yes for someone who commits murder. Now to me, this indicates that God considers a baby in the womb to be just as much of a human being as a fully grown adult such as you and me I. for a person that believes in Christ, a Christian abortion is not a matter of a woman right to choose it is a matter of life and death of a human being made in God's image Genesis 1 verse 26 and 27 Genesis 9 verse 6, now put what does the Bible say about abortion put abortion is murder it is the killing of a human being who has created an image of God. Are the American people living in a state of terror? Afraid that they may lose their job being a federal or government job if they refuse to get the covid shot or afraid to get kicked off an NFL team or they refuse to get the Covid picture, what about the rights of the American people. Something else is shocking to me. Why would anyone want to use the legacy of a deceased person to get what they want, be they a politician or just a regular Joe on Streets? Why would you want to use a dead person for your gain? It appears that particular politician is throwing the US constitution out the window for their self-interest, not America inserts interest their self-interest. Just look around America. We live in the signs of the time, whether you choose to believe it or not your choice.

I believe that there are many warnings in the Bible about the power of the government taking over or, let me say, the increasing government control. Yes, as Christians, we are to obey the laws of the land, but if the land laws go against God's laws, Bing will not follow. I want to clarify that this is not any form of rebellion, nor is this a political podcast. This is Christian freedom. The Bible states emphatically in Galatians 5:1 that believers are free in Christ: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). Before Jesus died on a cross, God’s people lived under a complicated system of laws that served as a moral compass to guide their lives. The Law, while powerless to grant salvation or produce true freedom, nevertheless pointed the way to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:19–24). Through His sacrificial death, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, setting believers free from the law of sin and death. God’s laws are now written in our hearts through the Spirit of God, and we are free to follow and serve Christ in ways that please and glorify Him (Romans 8:2–8). In a nutshell, this is the definition of Christian freedom.

An essential aspect of Christian freedom is our responsibility not to return to living under the Law. The apostle Paul compared this to slavery: “Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1). Continuing to live under the Law after salvation is merely a legalistic form of religion. We cannot earn righteousness through the Law; instead, the Law’s purpose was to define our sin and show our need for a Savior. Christian freedom involves living not under the burdensome obligations of the Law but God’s grace: “For sin shall no longer be your master because you are not under the law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14).

In Christ, we are free from the Law’s oppressive system, we are free from the penalty of sin, and we are free from the power of sin. Christian freedom is not a license to sin. We are free in Christ but not free to live however we want, indulging the flesh: “For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love” (Galatians 5:13, NLT). Believers aren’t free to sin but free to live holy lives in Christ.

Christian freedom is one of the many paradoxes of the Christian faith. True freedom means willingly becoming a slave to Christ, which happens through a relationship with Him (Colossians 2:16–17). In Romans 6, Paul explains that when a believer accepts Christ, they are baptized by the Spirit into Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. At that moment, the believer ceases to be a slave to sin and becomes a servant of righteousness: “But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness” (Romans 6:17–18, ESV).

Only Christians know true freedom: “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). But what does Christian liberty look like in a practical sense? What are we free to do and not do? What can we watch on TV? What can we eat and drink? What can we wear to the beach? What about smoking and drinking? Are there limits to Christian freedom?

In 1 Corinthians 10, the apostle Paul gives a practical illustration of Christian freedom: “‘Everything is permissible—but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is permissible—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his good, but the good of others” (1 Corinthians 10:23–24, NIV84).

In writing to the church in Corinth, Paul mentions members attending meals in pagan temples, just as they had done before receiving Christ. They felt free to continue participating because they thought these festivals were merely a normal part of the social culture, and they didn’t see their actions as pagan worship.

Paul laid out several warnings, reminding the Corinthians of Israel’s dangerous flirtation with idolatry in the Old Testament. Then he handled the practical concern of eating meat that had been sacrificed to idols.

“Everything is permissible,” the Corinthians were saying. True, Paul says; Christians have a great deal of freedom in Christ. However, not everything is beneficial or constructive. Our freedom in Christ must be balanced by a desire to build up and benefit others. When deciding how to exercise our Christian freedom, we ought to seek the good of others before our good.

In Judaism, restrictions were placed on purchasing meats in the market. Jews could only buy and eat kosher meats. Paul said believers were free in Christ to buy and eat any meat (1 Corinthians 10:25–26). However, if meat sacrificed to idols came up, believers were to follow a higher law. Love is what limits Christian freedom.

Later in the chapter, Paul wrote about eating meat as a guest in someone’s home. Christians are free to eat whatever they are served without questions of conscience (1 Corinthians 10:27). But, if someone brings up that the meat has been offered to an idol, it is better not to eat it for the sake of the person who raised the issue of conscience (verse 28). While believers have the freedom to eat the meat, they are compelled to consider what’s best for those who are observing their behavior.

Romans 14:1–13 raises a key determiner in understanding the limits of Christian freedom. In the passage, Paul again brings up eating meat sacrificed to idols and observing certain holy days. Some believers felt freedom in Christ in these areas, while others did not, and their differing perspectives were causing quarrels and disunity. Paul emphasized that unity and love in the body of Christ are more important than anyone’s convictions or Christian liberty: “Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister” (Romans 14:13).

Essentially, Paul’s message to the New Testament believers and us today is this: even if we believe we are right and have Christian freedom in an area,[sPause sec=2.6 ePause] if our actions will cause another brother or sister to stumble in his or her faith, we are to refrain out of love.

Paul spoke again of the matter in 1 Corinthians 8:7–9: “Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food, they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. But food does not bring us near God; we are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do. Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.”

The issue in New Testament times was eating meat offered to idols; today, other “gray areas” arise in our Christian walk. Romans 14:1 calls these “disputable matters,” areas where the Bible does not give clear-cut guidelines on whether a behavior is a sin. When faced with gray areas, we can rely on two guiding principles to regulate our Christian freedom: let love for others compel us not to cause anyone to stumble and let our desire to glorify God be our all-encompassing motive (1 Corinthians 10:31). [sPause sec=2.6 ePause]

una carta para mí mismo: no pretendo ser una molestia para nadie si por favor perdóname

Primero, quiero agradecer a Dios en su hijo Jesucristo, nuestro Señor y Salvador, quien murió en la cruz por nuestros pecados. Estoy sentado aquí este miércoles por la tarde en septiembre, y me encontré haciendo esta pregunta, ¿estaría listo si Jesús viniera hoy? Si Dios envió a su hijo aquí hoy, ¿estaría listo? Solo puedo esperar y rezar para que lo sea y que escuche bien hecho, buen siervo fiel y no te conozco. Mi oración es ser auténtica por Cristo, no sólo de labios para afuera, porque está escrito en Apocalipsis 3:16, KJV: "Entonces, porque eres tibio, y no frío ni caliente, te vomitaré de mi boca". Confío en los esfuerzos de Dios, no en los míos; Mientras me sentaba aquí para escribirme esta carta, esta es una pregunta que muchos no se hacen o que realmente quieren hacer. Están sucediendo muchas cosas en este mundo, incluido el levantamiento político: odio, racismo, asesinatos de dictadores [startSpeech r = Slow startSpeech] [endSpeech] en las calles, y mucho más. No me malinterpretes, no busco la muerte, sino a Jesús. Lo estoy buscando; Lo busco para que viva dentro de mí. Oro para hacer la voluntad de Dios y seguir a su hijo Jesús dondequiera que me lleve. Trato de hacer todo lo posible para celebrar las espinas dentro de mi vida, y algunas veces no tengo éxito en esto, así que me referí a estos versículos. Por lo tanto, para evitar que me envanezca, se me dio un aguijón en la carne, un mensajero de Satanás, para atormentarme. Tres veces le rogué al Señor que me lo quitara. Pero él me dijo: "Bástate mi gracia, porque mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad". Por lo tanto, me gloriaré más alegremente de mis debilidades para que el poder de Cristo descanse sobre mí.-2 Corintios 12: 7-10 ¿Cómo nos preparamos para cuando venga Jesús? Buena pregunta: “De acuerdo con la palabra del Señor, les decimos que los que aún vivimos, los que quedamos hasta la venida del Señor, ciertamente no precedemos a los que se han quedado dormidos. Porque el Señor mismo descenderá del cielo con voz de mando, con voz de arcángel y con trompeta de Dios, y los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero. Después de eso, nosotros, los que todavía vivimos y quedamos, seremos arrebatados junto con ellos en las nubes para encontrarnos con el Señor en el aire. Y así estaremos con el Señor para siempre. Por tanto, anímense unos a otros con estas palabras ”(1 Tesalonicenses 4: 15-18). Note que Pablo les está escribiendo a los creyentes acerca de aquellos que están “en Cristo” y por lo tanto tienen la promesa de la resurrección. Los que son salvos están listos para el rapto. Entonces, mi pregunta es: ¿Estás listo para el rapto? Jesús conoce a los suyos y vendrá por ellos (Juan 10:14; 14: 1-3). Aunque esto comenzó como una carta para mí, quería compartirlo al cerrar esta carta. ¿No es Dios bueno? ¿Alguna vez el enemigo ha tratado de convencerte cuando te enfrentas a situaciones imposibles porque a Dios no le importa? ¿O, posiblemente, incluso que estás ahí por las malas decisiones que has tomado? A menudo nos encontramos en situaciones inconvenientes, pero ¿alguna vez se ha detenido a pensar que hay ocasiones en que Dios nos pone allí para confiar más en Él? Considere el siguiente pasaje de las Escrituras: Éxodo 14: 1-4 (NKJV) 1 Y el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo: 2 “Di a los hijos de Israel que den la vuelta y acampen delante de Pi Hahirot, entre Migdol y el mar, frente a Baal Zefón; delante de ella acamparás junto al mar. 3 Porque Faraón dirá de los hijos de Israel: “Están aturdidos por la tierra; el desierto los ha encerrado. 4 Entonces endureceré el corazón de Faraón para que los persiga, y ganaré honor sobre Faraón y todo su ejército, para que los egipcios sepan que yo soy el SEÑOR. Y así lo hicieron. Mientras la gente abandonaba Egipto finalmente después de que diez plagas habían convencido a Faraón de que era hora de dejarlos ir, Dios sabía que incluso después de esto, su corazón se endurecería una vez más al ver que todo su "trabajo libre" se iba. ¡El versículo 2 deja muy claro que la gente estaba en este lugar imposible con el Mar Rojo frente a ellos y el ejército egipcio atacándolos porque Dios los puso allí! "... acamparás delante de ella junto al mar". Al final, la gente vagaría por el desierto durante 40 años debido a su incredulidad y rebelión. Este evento tuvo lugar antes de todo eso. Estaban en lo que parecía ser en la superficie una “situación imposible” que requeriría un milagro de proporciones épicas para sacarlos de ella. ¡Estaban allí porque era precisamente donde Dios quería que estuvieran para que pudieran ver la victoria completa sobre el enemigo! De alguna manera, nos hemos condicionado a que cuando enfrentamos situaciones imposibles, hemos sido desobedientes o debido a las fallas y fracasos de otra persona. He decidido que el Señor es digno de ser adorado incluso en tiempos de dificultad, al igual que en tiempos de gran victoria. Si solo servimosÉl, cuando todo va bien, ¡simplemente estamos “usando” a Dios para nuestro beneficio! ¡Ser alentado! ¡Adora al Señor en tiempos de victoria además de en tiempos de lucha! Jesús regresa Willie T. Ayers Cuando la vida te da cien razones para llorar, demuéstrale a la vida que tienes mil razones para sonreír.

a letter to myself: I do not mean to be a bother to anyone if I'm please forgive me

First, I want to thank God in his son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died upon the cross for our sins. I am just sitting here on this Wednesday afternoon in September, and I found myself asking this question, would I be ready if Jesus were to come today? If God sent his son here today, would I be ready? I can only hope and pray that I would be and that I will hear well done good and faithful servant not I know you not. My prayer is to be authentic for Christ, not just lip service, for it is written Revelation 3:16, KJV: "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

I rely on God's efforts, not mine; as I sat here to write this letter to myself, this is a question many do not ask themselves or really want to ask. There is so much going on in this world, including political uprising—hatred, racism, dictators'[startSpeech r=Slow startSpeech][endSpeech] murder in the streets, and so much more. Do not get me wrong, I am not looking for death, but I am looking for Jesus. I am looking for him; I am looking for him to be living within me. I Pray to do the will of God and to follow his son Jesus wherever he leads me. I try to do my best to celebrate the thorns within my life, and sometimes I am not successful at this, so I referred to these verses.

Therefore, to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. – 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

How do we become ready for when Jesus comes? Good question: “According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord, himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:15–18). Note that Paul is writing to believers concerning those who are “in Christ” and thus have the promise of resurrection. Those who are saved are ready for the rapture. So, my question is, Are you ready for the rapture? Jesus knows His own, and He will come for them (John 10:14; 14:1–3). Even though this started as a letter to myself, I wanted to share so in closing this letter. Isn't God good? Have you ever had the enemy try to convince you when you are faced with impossible situations because God does not care? Or, possibly, even that you are there because of the bad decisions you have made? We are often in inconvenient situations, but have you ever stopped to think that there are times God puts us there to trust Him more? Consider the following scripture: Exodus 14:1-4 (NKJV) 1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.' 4 Then I will harden Pharaoh's heart so that he will pursue them, and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD.” And they did so. As the people were leaving Egypt finally after ten plagues had convinced Pharaoh that it was time to let them go, God knew that even after this, his heart would harden once again as he saw all his “free labor” leaving. Verse 2 makes it quite clear that the people were in this impossible place with the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army bearing down on them because God put them there! “…you shall camp before it by the sea.” Ultimately the people would wander in the desert for 40 years because of their unbelief and rebellion. This event took place before all of that. They were in what seemed to be on the surface an “impossible situation” that would require a miracle of epic proportions to get them out of it. They were there because it was precisely where God wanted them to be so they could see the complete victory over the enemy! Somehow, we have become conditioned that when we face impossible situations, we have been disobedient or due to someone else's faults and failures. I have made up my mind that the Lord was worthy to be worshiped even in times of difficulty, just like in times of great victory. If we only serve Him when all is going well, then we are just “using” God for our benefit! Be encouraged! Worship the Lord during times of victory in addition to times of struggle! Jesus is coming back Willie T. Ayers When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.

Todo el mundo quiere ir al cielo…. pero nadie quiere rezar… ¿Estamos viviendo en tiempos de proporciones bíblicas?

(Solo soy un don nadie tratando de decirle a todo el mundo acerca de alguien que puede salvar a alguien ... ¿lo conoces ... se llama JESÚS? mi rutina diaria y comenzar la suya propia.

No busco la muerte. Lo estoy buscando. Hoy podría ser el último día en que Jesús regrese: Preferiría estar con DIOS y ser juzgado por el mundo que estar con el mundo y ser juzgado por DIOS (el juicio de DIOS es eterno). La Alegría que tengo el mundo no me la dio …… Y el mundo no me la puede quitar. Tenga un día de Dios Dios es bueno todo el tiempo ... y todo el tiempo, Dios es bueno.

¿Estamos viviendo en tiempos de proporciones bíblicas? ¿Hay muchas profecías que me haya cumplido? Echemos un vistazo a los multimillonarios de Afganistán COVID-19 que viajan al espacio, lo que algunas personas llamaron calentamiento global. Supongo que la lista puede seguir y seguir, pero el hecho es que nadie sabe el día ni la hora, ni siquiera los ángeles en el cielo, ni siquiera el propio hijo sabe cuándo Dios va a enviar a Jesús de regreso. ¿Está sucediendo el estado actual de Israel ahora que el cumplimiento de una profecía pide misión en la Biblia?

Dije aquí, no es de extrañar cuántas cosas más terribles van a suceder en este mundo. te pusiste mal. Ser bueno en el bien ahora es malo. Leí un artículo de que San Francisco está haciendo un proyecto piloto de amigos en los que estaban dispuestos a pagar dinero a los delincuentes si no disparaban a nadie. luego también hay personas del gobierno que intentan pagar a las personas para que obtengan fotos de portada desde $ 50 para arriba. Supongo que mi pregunta es, ¿son tan efectivas estas tomas de covid? ¿Por qué nuestros líderes están dispuestos a pagarle a la gente para que los consiga y por qué está tratando de obligarlos a conseguirlos usando dinero para atraer al pueblo estadounidense como una forma de controlarlo?

Estoy seguro de que hay mucha gente que no cree que el fin de los tiempos esté sobre nosotros. Ya hay 100 profecías cumplidas por Jesús. Ahora, cómo uno ve el tiempo de finalización eso depende de ellos. La Biblia profetiza muchos eventos que ocurrirán en los últimos tiempos. Estos eventos se pueden categorizar como signos naturales, espirituales, sociológicos, tecnológicos [sPause sec = 2.4 ePause] y políticos. Podemos mirar lo que dice la Biblia sobre estas cosas, y si las señales están presentes en abundancia, podemos estar seguros de que, de hecho, estamos viviendo en los últimos tiempos.

Lucas 21:11 enumera algunas de las señales naturales que ocurrirán antes de la segunda venida de Jesús: "Habrá grandes terremotos, hambrunas y pestilencias en varios lugares, y acontecimientos espantosos y grandes señales del cielo". Si bien no debemos interpretar cada desastre natural como una señal del fin de los tiempos, un aumento en los desastres naturales parece ser un calentamiento para lo que viene después: "dolores de parto", como los llamó Jesús (Mateo 24: 8). .

La Biblia enumera signos espirituales tanto positivos como negativos. En 2 Timoteo 4: 3-4, descubrimos que muchas personas seguirán a los falsos maestros. Ahora vemos un aumento en los grupos de culto, la herejía, el engaño y el ocultismo, y muchos eligen seguir la Nueva Era o las religiones paganas. En el lado positivo, Joel 2: 28-29 profetiza que habrá un gran derramamiento del Espíritu Santo. La profecía de Joel se cumplió en el Día de Pentecostés (Hechos 2:16), y todavía vemos los efectos de ese derramamiento en avivamientos y movimientos cristianos guiados por el Espíritu y en la predicación mundial del mensaje del evangelio.

Junto con los signos en los reinos natural y espiritual, hay signos en la sociedad. La inmoralidad desenfrenada en la sociedad actual es un síntoma de la rebelión de la humanidad contra Dios. El aborto, la homosexualidad, el abuso de drogas y el abuso de menores son prueba de que “los malhechores e impostores irán de mal en peor” (2 Timoteo 3:13). Ahora vivimos en una sociedad hedonista y materialista. Las personas se aman a sí mismas, “buscan el número uno”, y hacen lo que les parece correcto. Todas estas cosas, y muchas más, se pueden ver a nuestro alrededor todos los días (véase 2 Timoteo 3: 1-4).

El cumplimiento de algunas profecías de los últimos tiempos parecía imposible hasta el advenimiento de la tecnología moderna. Algunos de los juicios en Apocalipsis se imaginan más fácilmente en una era nuclear. En Apocalipsis 13, se dice que el Anticristo controla el comercio al obligar a las personas a tomar la marca de la bestia, y dados los avances actuales en la tecnología de chips de computadora, las herramientas que usará pueden estar aquí ya.

Y a través de Internet, la radio y la televisión, el evangelio ahora se puede proclamar al mundo entero (Marcos 13:10).

Y hay señales políticas. La restauración de Israel a su tierra en 1948 es la profecía más impresionante y cumplida que demuestra que vivimos en los últimos tiempos. A principios del siglo XX, nadie hubiera soñado que Israel estaría de regreso en su tierra, y mucho menos ocupando Jerusalén. Jerusalén está definitivamente en el centro de la geopolítica y está sola frente a muchos enemigos; Zacarías 12: 3 confirma esto: “Aquel día en que todas las naciones de la tierra se junten contra ella, haré de Jerusalén una roca inamovible para todas las naciones. Todos los que intenten moverlo se lastimarán ". Mateo 24: 6-7 predijo que “se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino”.

“Guerras y rumores de guerras” son característicos de esta época.

Estos son solo algunos de los signos de que estamos viviendo al final de la era. Hay muchos más. Dios nos dio estas profecías porque no quiere que nadie perezca, y siempre da una amplia advertencia antes de derramar Su ira (2 Pedro 3: 9).

¿Estamos viviendo en los últimos tiempos? Nadie sabe cuándo regresará Jesús, pero el rapto podría ocurrir en cualquier momento. Dios lidiará con el pecado ya sea por gracia o por ira. Juan 3:36 dice: "El que cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna, pero el que rechaza al Hijo no verá la vida, porque la ira de Dios permanece sobre ellos". Aquellos que no aceptan a Jesucristo como su salvador permanecerán bajo la ira del Señor.

La buena noticia es que no es demasiado tarde para elegir la vida eterna. Todo lo que se requiere es la aceptación, por fe, del don de la gracia de Dios. No hay nada que puedas hacer para ganarte la gracia; Jesús pagó el precio por ti (Romanos 3:24). ¿Estás listo para el regreso del Señor? ¿O experimentarás Su ira?

Los discípulos también le preguntaron a Jesús no solo cuáles serían las señales que señalarían la cuenta regresiva para su regreso, sino también cuáles serían las señales de los tiempos finales reales. Hay muchas señales que se nos dicen que veremos en los últimos días, justo antes del regreso de Jesús, que incluyen:

Las iglesias y los sermones se han diluido para complacer a los miembros de la iglesia. Muchos pastores ya no predican sermones sobre los horrores del infierno y los efectos del pecado. Han comenzado a predicar acerca de un Dios amoroso que ama a todos. Es cierto que lo hace, pero también es un Dios santo que no puede tolerar el pecado. Y si alguien vive una vida de pecado, será arrojado al infierno. Si acepta a Jesucristo como Señor y salvador, la Biblia dice que también debe arrepentirse, una explicación del diccionario para 'arrepentirse' dice: 'Sentir tal pesar por la conducta pasada como cambiar de opinión al respecto', por lo que no puede simplemente pedir salvación, entonces vive tu vida anterior, la Biblia nos dice claramente que, lee esto con atención, es correcto de la Biblia: 1 Corintios 6: 9-10-"¿No sabes que los impíos no heredarán el reino de Dios? No os dejéis engañar: Ni los inmorales, ni los idólatras, ni los adúlteros, ni los prostitutos, ni los homosexuales, ni los ladrones, ni los avaros, ni los borrachos, ni los calumniadores, ni los estafadores heredarán el reino de Dios ".

Algunos pastores ahora incluso dicen que Jesucristo no es el único camino al cielo. Hemos eliminado la verdad y los hechos bíblicos y los hemos reemplazado con lo que la gente quiere escuchar, para que puedan continuar con sus formas de vivir una vida de pecado.

Guerras y rumores de guerras:

El siglo XX ha sido conocido como el siglo de la guerra. Hemos tenido los grandes, por supuesto, como la Primera Guerra Mundial y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y la Guerra Fría (la última era de los 'rumores de guerra'). También tuvimos la Guerra de Vietnam, la Guerra de Corea y literalmente cientos de otras batallas, incluidas las guerras del golfo y otros conflictos de Oriente Medio hasta los rumores actuales de una posible guerra con Irán y Corea del Norte por sus programas nucleares.

Se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino:

Los disturbios étnicos y las guerras tribales han matado a millones solo en esta generación, y está empeorando.

BLM Antifa Talibán odia a muchos grupos.

Huracanes masivos y tormentas anormales:

¿La Biblia menciona los huracanes cuando habla de señales del regreso del Señor? Seguro que sí, Jesús les dice a los discípulos en Lucas 21:25: "Y habrá señales en el sol, y en la luna, y en las estrellas; y sobre la tierra angustia de las naciones, con perplejidad; el mar y las olas rugido." Vea las últimas 6 palabras: 'el mar y las olas rugiendo, los efectos exactos de los huracanes. Se dijo que 2004 fue la temporada de huracanes más costosa registrada. Eso fue así hasta la temporada de huracanes de 2005. A finales de octubre de 2005, Beta, la vigésimo sexta tormenta con nombre de una temporada récord de huracanes en el Atlántico, tocó tierra cerca de La Barra, Nicaragua. Y ahora, el viernes 30 de diciembre de 2005, tenemos estas NOTICIAS: la tormenta tropical Zeta cruza el Atlántico. Zeta, la vigésimo séptima tormenta con nombre de una temporada de huracanes récord, tuvo vientos máximos sostenidos de cerca de 50 mph, según el Centro Nacional de Huracanes en Miami. Los meteorólogos dijeron que no se esperaba que Zeta se convirtiera en un huracán o amenazara la tierra.

Esta temporada de huracanes en el Atlántico ha visto más tormentas tropicales y huracanes con nombre que en cualquier otro momento desde que se inició el mantenimiento de registros en 1851.

Aquí en el noreste de Pensilvania, del 6 al 12 de noviembre, nos azotaron varias tormentas eléctricas severas y una alerta de tornado. Esto no sería nada anormal si fuera verano, pero estamos en noviembre y no solo tuvimos varias tormentas eléctricas severas, sino también una alerta de tornado y luego una advertencia. Según los meteorólogos de la televisión local, nunca hemos tenidotantas tormentas eléctricas severas y una advertencia de tornado en esta área tan tarde en el año desde que comenzó el mantenimiento de registros. Recientemente, el huracán Ida de Luisiana

Entonces, ¿qué significa todo esto, '¡El tiempo del regreso de Jesucristo está aquí!' Realmente no sé cuándo comenzó la cuenta regresiva, pero sí lo sé y veo que el tiempo se acerca.

Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos que la Generación que ve estas cosas, 'La creación de Israel como nación, y lo más importante' Jerusalén bajo control judío (1967) "Esta generación no pasará (morirá)" antes de que él (Jesús) Regrese.

Entonces, ¿cuánto mide una generación en la Biblia? Entonces, cuando leemos "generación" en la Biblia, debemos considerar el contexto. Por lo general, una generación en la Biblia tiene aproximadamente treinta años o las personas que viven durante ese tiempo, lo mismo que entendemos que es una generación en el habla cotidiana. Pero hay momentos en que la generación se usa poéticamente para referirse a una clase de personas delimitadas por algo diferente a la edad. En Marcos 13:32 (RV)-"Pero de aquel día y aquella hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre". El hombre no puede calcular el año aunque lo

Everybody wants to go to heaven …. but nobody wants to pray… Are we living in times biblical proportions? People want money, but many do not want to work unemployed, the new sugar daddy.

(I am just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody that can save anybody ….do you know him …his name is JESUS) I am not ashamed of the Gospel: I pray to never begin my day without thinking that perhaps he may interrupt my daily routine and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking for Him. Today might be the last day when Jesus returns.: I Would rather stand with GOD and be judged by the world than to stand with the world and be judged by GOD (GOD’S judgment is eternal). The Joy I have the world did not give it to me……And the world cannot take it away. Have a God-day God is good all the time…and all the time, God is good.

Are we living in times biblical proportions? Are there many prophecies that I've been fulfilled? Let's look at Afghanistan COVID-19 billionaires traveling into space what some people called global warming. I guess the list can go on and on, but the fact is that no one knows the day nor the hour, not even angels in heaven, not even the son himself knows when God is going to send Jesus back? Is the current state of Israel that is going on now is that fulfillment a prophecy ask mission in the Bible? I said here, no wonder just how many more terrible things are going to happen in this world. you got bad being good in good is now bad. I read it article the San Francisco is doing a pal pilot project where there willing to pay criminals money if they don't shoot anybody. then you also have government people trying to pay people to get cover shots anywhere from $50 up. I guess my question is these covid shots so effective why our leaders are willing to pay people to get them, and why are you trying to force them to get them by using money to entice the American people a way of controlling them. I'm sure there are many people that do not believe let the end times are upon us. There are 100 Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus already. Now, how one views the end time that’s up to them. The Bible prophesies many events that will occur in the end times. These events can be categorized as natural signs, spiritual signs, sociological signs, technological signs, and political signs. We can look to what the Bible says about these things, and if the signs are present in abundance, we can be certain that we are, in fact, living in the end times.

Luke 21:11 lists some of the natural signs that will occur before Jesus’ second coming: “There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” While we shouldn’t interpret every natural disaster as a sign of the end times, an increase in natural disasters seems to be a warm-up to what is coming next— “birth pangs,” as Jesus called them (Matthew 24:8). The Bible lists both positive and negative spiritual signs. In 2 Timothy 4:3–4, we discover that many people will follow false teachers. Now we see an increase in cultic groups, heresy, deception, and occultism, with many choosing to follow New Age or pagan religions. On the positive side, Joel 2:28–29 prophesies that there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:16), and we still see the effects of that outpouring in revivals and Spirit-led Christian movements, and in the worldwide preaching of the gospel message. Along with the signs in the natural and spiritual realms, there are signs in society. The immorality rampant in society today is a symptom of mankind’s rebellion against God. Abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse, and child molestation are proof that “evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse” (2 Timothy 3:13). We are now living in a hedonistic and materialistic society. People are lovers of themselves— “looking out for number one”—and doing what is right in their own eyes. All these things, and many more, can be seen around us every day (see 2 Timothy 3:1–4). The fulfillment of some end-times prophecies seemed impossible until the advent of modern technology. Some of the judgments in Revelation are more easily imagined in a nuclear age. In Revelation 13, the Antichrist is said to control commerce by forcing people to take the mark of the beast, and given today’s advances in computer chip technology, the tools he will use may very well be here already. And through the internet, radio, and television, the gospel can now be proclaimed to the entire world (Mark 13:10). And there are political signs. The restoration of Israel to her land in 1948 is the single most impressive, fulfilled prophecy proving that we live in the end times. At the turn of the 20th century, no one would have dreamed that Israel would be back in her land, let alone occupying Jerusalem. Jerusalem is definitely at the center of geopolitics and stands alone against many enemies; Zechariah 12:3 confirms this: “On that day when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” Matthew 24:6–7 predicted that “nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” “Wars and rumors of wars” are characteristic of this present age. These are just a few of the signs that we are living at the end of the age. There are many more. God gave us these prophecies because He does not want anyone to perish, and He always gives ample warning before pouring out His wrath (2 Peter 3:9). Are we living in the end times? No one knows when Jesus will return, but the rapture could occur at any moment. God will deal with sin either by grace or by wrath. John 3:36 says, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” Those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their savior will remain under the Lord’s wrath. The good news is that it’s not too late to choose eternal life. All that is required is acceptance, by faith, of God’s gift of grace. There is nothing you can do to earn grace; Jesus has paid the price for you (Romans 3:24). Are you ready for the Lord’s return? Or will you experience His wrath?

The disciples also asked Jesus not only what the signs would be that signal the countdown to his return, but also what the signs of the actual end times would be. There are many signs we are told that we will see in the last days just before Jesus returns, they include:

Churches and sermons have become watered-down to please church members. Many Pastors don't preach sermons anymore on the horrors of hell and the effects of sin. They have begun preaching about an all-loving god that loves everyone. This is true he does, but he is also a holy God that cannot tolerate sin. And if someone lives a life of sin, they will be cast into hell. If you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, the bible says you must also repent, a dictionary explanation for 'repent' says: 'To feel such regret for past conduct as to change one's mind regarding it,' so you cannot just ask for salvation, then live your old life, the bible clearly tells us that, read this carefully, it's right from the bible: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

Some Pastors are now even saying that Jesus Christ is not the only way to Heaven. We have removed the biblical truth and facts and have replaced them with what people want to hear, so they can continue their ways of living a life of sin.

Wars and rumors of wars:

The 20th century has been known as the century of warfare. We have had the big ones, of course, like World War 1, and World War 2, and the cold war (the ultimate era of 'rumors of war'). We also had the Vietnam War, Korean War, and literally hundreds of other battles, including the gulf wars and other middle east conflicts to the present-day rumors of a possible war with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

Ethnic unrest and tribal warfare have killed millions in this generation alone, and it's getting worse.

BLM Antifa Taliban many hates groups

Massive Hurricanes and freak storms:

Does the bible mention Hurricanes when it tells of signs of the Lord's return? It sure does, Jesus tells the disciples in Luke 21:25: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring." See the last 6 words: 'the sea and the waves roaring, the exact effects of hurricanes. 2004 was said to have been the costliest hurricane season on record. That was true until the 2005 hurricane season. At the end of Oct 2005, Beta, the 26th named storm of a record Atlantic hurricane season, made landfall near La Barra, Nicaragua. And now, on Fri, Dec 30, 2005, we have this NEWS - Tropical Storm Zeta drifts across the Atlantic. The 27th named storm of a record-breaking hurricane season, Zeta had top sustained winds near 50 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters said Zeta was not expected to become a hurricane or threaten land. This Atlantic hurricane season has seen more named tropical storms and hurricanes than at any point since record-keeping began in 1851.

Here in Northeast Pennsylvania, from November 6-12, we were struck with multiple severe thunderstorms and a tornado watch. This wouldn't be anything abnormal if it was summer, but this is November, and we had not only multiple severe thunderstorms but a tornado watch and then a warning. According to local tv weathermen, we have never had as many severe thunderstorms and a tornado warning in this area so late in the year since record-keeping began. Just recently, Louisiana Hurricane Ida.

So, what does it all mean, 'The time of Jesus Christ's return is here!' I really do not know when the countdown began, but I do know and see that the time grows near?

Jesus told his disciples that the Generation that sees these things, 'The creation of Israel as a nation, and most importantly 'Jerusalem under Jewish control (1967) "This generation will not pass away (die)" before he (Jesus) Returns.

So how long is a generation in the bible? So, when we read “generation” in the Bible, we must consider the context. Usually, a generation in the Bible is roughly thirty years long or the people living during that time, the same as what we understand a generation to be in everyday talk. But there are times when generation is used poetically to refer to a class of people demarked by something other than age.. In Mark 13:32 (KJV) — "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Man can not figure out the year even though they may try.

¿Es COVID demoníaco, creado por el hombre, un castigo por sacar a Dios de nuestra nación? Solo preguntando, tu decides.

¿Están nuestros niños y escuelas bajo ataque? obligando a los estudiantes a usar máscaras?

Tenemos que ser valientes, Covid: ¿qué sabemos realmente aparte de lo que nos están dictando los políticos, el pueblo estadounidense, una extralimitación de la autoridad injusta, impredecible y moralmente incorrecta, el poder absoluto corrompe absolutamente. ¿Tenemos todos los hechos reales sobre covid? Satanás usa muchos dispositivos para llegar a Dios. ¿Es COVID uno de ellos? Esta pregunta es tanto para creyentes como para no creyentes. Así que, por favor, no ignore los dispositivos de Satanás.

Mientras escribo esto para mi podcast de que Dios me ha bendecido para ser un mayordomo, le pido a Dios que me guíe: miro lo que está sucediendo aquí en el área de los tres condados en Colorado. No para ser rebelde, sino para hacer preguntas.

E intentar informar a otros que la guerra espiritual es real y que está sucediendo aquí y ahora.

Dios le ordenó a Josué tres veces que fuera fuerte y tuviera buen valor y le aseguró su presencia constante si se obedecían sus mandamientos. (Jos. 1: 8-9) Él prometió que: “el Dios eterno es tu refugio, y debajo están los brazos eternos; y él echará al enemigo de delante de ti; y dirá: Destrúyelos ". (Deuteronomio 33:27)

En el ámbito de tener que luchar con espíritus demoníacos de vez en cuando, creo que hay 4 niveles básicos en los que un cristiano puede tener que enfrentarse. Tener el conocimiento específico sobre cada uno de estos niveles puede ayudar realmente a planificar y llevar a cabo la estrategia de batalla adecuada para derrotarlos en caso de que los demonios se acerquen para atacar a usted, la escuela, la nación o cualquiera de sus seres queridos cercanos.

Cada vez que Jesús les dijo a sus apóstoles que salieran y caminaran con su unción para salvar a los perdidos y sanar a los enfermos, siempre tenía el mandato de expulsar también el espíritu demoníaco donde y cuando fuera necesario.

Entonces, si Jesús estaba constantemente echando fuera demonios, siempre diciéndoles a los apóstoles que echaran fuera demonios, entonces debería ser lógico que sigamos echando fuera los objetos (miedo, Covid, etc.) que los demonios usan para destruir. 2 Timoteo 1: 7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios espíritu de temor, sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio.

Muchos eruditos de la Biblia han estimado que aproximadamente el 25% de los milagros que Jesús había realizado eran que Él expulsaba demonios de las personas. Satanás y sus demonios no están confinados al Abismo en este momento. Este evento no sucederá hasta que Jesús regrese a nosotros en Su segunda venida. Hasta que ese evento suceda, Satanás y sus demonios todavía están libres para vagar por el "aire" (el covid está en el aire), buscando a quién intentarán devorar a continuación.

Como cristianos, siempre debemos recordar que el diablo y sus demonios ya son animales derrotados. Jesús ya derrotó a Satanás en la cruz cuando fue crucificado.

Lo que queda ahora es que todos los cristianos deben darse cuenta de que la victoria ya es nuestra. Por lo tanto, debemos aprender cómo involucrarnos y derrotar al diablo y sus demonios cuando intentan entrar en una persona o situación, y a veces esto significa una verdadera liberación en vivo, porque los demonios pueden adherirse a las personas y lo hacen cuando se mueven. para un ataque. ¡Y una vez que lo hagan, la única manera de poder expulsarlos es por el poder de Dios!

Aquí hay diferentes formas y avenidas en las que los demonios pueden moverse para atacar a alguien o algo, ya sea que la persona sea cristiana o no creyente. Hay reglas para los juegos de guerra que se desarrollan detrás de escena entre Dios y el diablo para todas nuestras almas. Estar advertido es estar debidamente armado. Para algunos, puede que solo esté balbuceando, tienen derecho a opinar.

El primer nivel es cuando los demonios se mueven para un ataque sin ningún derecho legal real para poder hacerlo. Esto es exactamente lo que le sucedió a Jesús cuando estuvo en el desierto durante 40 días y 40 noches. Satanás no tenía ningún derecho legal a venir en pos de Él, pero lo hizo de todos modos, y Jesús lo echó al citarle la Palabra.
El segundo nivel es cuando los demonios tienen el derecho legal de perseguirte. Y una de las formas en que le das a los demonios el derecho legal de poder atacarte es cruzando y entrando en algunos de los pecados y transgresiones más graves expresamente prohibidos por nuestro Señor en Su Palabra.
El tercer nivel es cuando los demonios atacan debido a lo que alguien te haya hecho. A veces, las víctimas de delitos como la violación y el asalto o el recibir abuso severo por parte de un padre o cónyuge pueden hacer que los demonios intenten unirse a la víctima, tratando de alimentarse de las emociones negativas de odio, ira, falta de perdón y deseo de obtener vengarse del atacante o abusador.
El cuarto nivel es cuando los demonios tratarán de apegarse a alguien debido a una línea de maldición generacional proveniente de un padre o padres disfuncionales y de pecado severo. Por ejemplo, un padre alcohólico puede terminar teniendo hijos que terminan convirtiéndose ellos mismos en alcohólicos.Los demonios intentarán saltar y transferir del padre a algunos de los niños, tratando de hacer que cometan el mismo tipo de pecado que su padre había estado cometiendo.

Como cristianos, debemos tener conocimiento de nuestros enemigos y cómo intentarán atacarnos. Muchos cristianos están siendo derrotados o llevados a casa demasiado pronto de esta vida por no tener algunos conocimientos básicos sobre la guerra espiritual.

Is COVID demonic, man-made, a punishment for taking God out of our nation? Just asking, you decide.

Are our children and schools under attack? forcing students to wear masks?

We need to be courageous, Covid: what do we really know other than what is being dictated to us the American people, by politicians, an inequitable, unpredictable, and morally wrong overreach of authority absolute power corrupts absolutely. do we have all the true facts about covid? Satan uses many devices to Get to God. Is COVID one of them? This question is for believers and non-believers alike. So please, Don't Be Ignorant of Satan's Devices.

As I write this for my podcast that God has blessed me to be a steward of, I ask God to guide me: I look at what is going on here in the tri-county area in Colorado. Not to be rebellious, but to ask questions.

And to attempt to inform others that spiritual warfare is real, and it is happening here and now.

God commanded Joshua three times to be strong and have good courage and assured him of His constant presence if His commandments were obeyed. (Josh. 1:8-9) He promised that: “the eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” (Deut. 33:27)

In the realm of having to do battle with demonic spirits from time to time - I believe there are 4 basic levels in which a Christian may have to face. Having the specific knowledge on what each one of these levels are all about can really help with planning and carrying out the appropriate battle strategy in which to defeat them should demons ever move in for an attack on either you, the school, the nation, or any of your close loved ones.

Every time that Jesus told His apostles to go out and walk with His anointing to save the lost and heal the sick - He always had the command in there to also cast out demonic spirit where and when needed.

So, if Jesus was constantly casting out demons, always telling the apostles to cast out demons - then it should only be logical that we should continue to cast out items, (fear, Covid, etc..) demons use to destroy. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

It has been estimated by many Bible scholars that approximately 25% of the miracles Jesus had performed were Him casting demons out of people. Satan and his demons are not confined to the Bottomless Pit at this time. This event will not happen until Jesus returns to us in His second coming. Until that event happens, Satan and his demons are still free to roam in the "air" (covid is airborne), seeking who they are going to try and devour next.

As Christians, we always must remember that the devil and his demons are already defeated animals. Jesus has already defeated Satan at the cross when He was crucified.

What is now left is that all Christians must realize that the victory is already ours. We thus must learn how to engage and defeat the devil and his demons when they do try to move into a person or a situation - and sometimes this means a real live deliverance - because demons can and do attach themselves to people when they do move in for an attack. And once they do, the only way to be able to drive them out is by the power of God!

Here are different ways and avenues that demons can move in for an attack on someone or something, - whether the person is a Christian or a nonbeliever. There are rules to the war games that are going on behind the scenes between God and the devil for all our souls. To be forewarned is to be properly armed. To some I may just be babbling, they have a right to their opinion.

The first level is when demons move in for an attack with no real legal right to be able to do so. This is exactly what happened to Jesus when He was out in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights. Satan had no legal right to be coming after Him, but he did anyway, and Jesus drove him away by quoting the Word back to him.
The second level is when demons do have a legal right to be coming after you. And one of the ways that you give demons the legal right to be able to attack you is by crossing over and entering some of the heavier sins and transgressions expressly forbidden by our Lord from His Word.
The third level is when demons attack because of what someone has may have done to you. Sometimes victims of crimes such as rape and assault or receiving severe abuse from a parent or spouse can cause demons to try and move in to attach to the victim - trying to feed off the negative emotions of hate, anger, unforgiveness, and wanting to get revenge on the attacker or abuser.
The fourth level is when demons will try and attach to someone because of a generational curse line coming from a severe sinning, dysfunctional parent, or parents. For instance, an alcoholic father can end up producing children who end up becoming alcoholics themselves. Demons will attempt to jump and transfer from the father onto some of the children trying to get them to commit the same type of sin their parent had been committing.

As Christians, we must have knowledge of our enemies and how they will try and attack us. Many Christians are getting defeated or taken home too early from this life because of not having some basic 101 knowledge in spiritual warfare.

Please pray for our children, this nation, our elected leaders, our schools, churches, and all of its staff.

¿Quién está a cargo de nuestro condado estatal de niños, quién? Todos tienen su propia opinión, ¿está bien o no? Cada estado impone responsabilidad legal a los padres y tutores legales por el ... acusado de violar su deber paterno de supervisar a su hijo. Si un padre puede ser considerado responsable por esto, ¿por qué los condados y el estado exigen máscaras para los niños en la escuela simplemente preguntando? Como padre, ¿me estás quitando mis derechos? ¿Me estás obligando a hacer algo en contra de mis creencias? Sí, el covid es real, pero también lo era la gripe, la poliomielitis, la varicela y más, sin embargo, no había un requisito de máscara, y no lo siento, el covid es real. más mortal que estos. Me pregunto si esta es una forma de que los políticos promuevan el miedo dentro de Estados Unidos. Uno puede caminar sin máscara en cualquier lugar, pero sin embargo, en la escuela los niños deben tener máscara, esto es un oxímoron. Los políticos pueden abordar el avión y festejar sin máscara, pero los niños en la escuela deben tener una máscara, la realidad cuando Dios está listo para llamarte a casa, lo hará Covid o ser atropellado por un conductor loco. Veamos qué dice la palabra de Dios sobre el miedo y la paternidad. Esto es de un artículo: Un nuevo informe publicado por una revista de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense reveló que obligar a los niños a usar máscaras faciales provoca efectos adversos para la salud. JAMA Pediatrics, una revista mensual de alta calificación publicada por la AMA, descubrió que el uso de mascarillas aumenta la cantidad de dióxido de carbono en el aire inhalado a niveles nocivos para la salud.

El estudio midió los niveles de dióxido de carbono en 45 niños de 6 a 17 años mientras usaban máscaras. El contenido normal de dióxido de carbono en el aire es de 400 partes por millón (ppm), y la Oficina Federal de Medio Ambiente de Alemania considera inaceptable cualquier valor superior a 2000 ppm. MIEDO: La Biblia menciona dos tipos específicos de miedo. El primer tipo es beneficioso y debe fomentarse. El segundo tipo es perjudicial y debe superarse. El primer tipo de temor es el temor del Señor. Este tipo de miedo no significa necesariamente tener miedo de algo. Más bien, es un temor reverencial de Dios, una reverencia por Su poder y gloria. Sin embargo, también es un respeto apropiado por Su ira e ira. En otras palabras, el temor del Señor es un reconocimiento total de todo lo que Dios es, que se obtiene al conocerlo a Él y sus atributos. El temor del Señor trae consigo muchas bendiciones y beneficios. Es el comienzo de la sabiduría y conduce al buen entendimiento (Salmo 111: 10). Solo los necios desprecian la sabiduría y la disciplina (Proverbios 1: 7). Además, el temor del Señor conduce a la vida, al descanso, a la paz y al contentamiento (Proverbios 19:23). Es la fuente y la vida (Proverbios 14:27) y nos proporciona seguridad y un lugar seguro (Proverbios 14:26).

Así, se puede ver cómo se debe fomentar el temor a Dios. Sin embargo, el segundo tipo de miedo mencionado en la Biblia no es beneficioso en absoluto. Este es el “espíritu de temor” mencionado en 2 Timoteo 1: 7: “Porque no nos ha dado Dios espíritu de temor, sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio” (NKJV). Un espíritu de temor y timidez no proviene de Dios.

Sin embargo, a veces tenemos miedo, a veces este “espíritu de miedo” nos vence, y para vencerlo necesitamos confiar en Dios y amarlo por completo. "No hay miedo en el amor. Pero el amor perfecto echa fuera el miedo porque el miedo tiene que ver con el castigo. El que teme, no se perfecciona en el amor ”(1 Juan 4:18). Nadie es perfecto y Dios lo sabe. Es por eso que Él ha rociado generosamente aliento contra el miedo en toda la Biblia. Comenzando en el libro de Génesis y continuando a lo largo del libro de Apocalipsis, Dios nos recuerda "No temas".

Por ejemplo, Isaías 41:10 nos anima: “No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; No mires a tu alrededor con ansiedad, porque yo soy tu Dios, te fortaleceré, de cierto te ayudaré, de cierto te sostendré con la diestra de mi justicia. A menudo, tememos al futuro y lo que será de nosotros. Pero Jesús nos recuerda que Dios se preocupa por las aves del cielo, entonces, ¿cuánto más proveerá a sus hijos? "Así que no tengas miedo; más valéis que muchos pajarillos ”(Mateo 10:31). Estos pocos versículos cubren muchos tipos diferentes de miedo. Dios nos dice que no tengamos miedo de estar solos, de ser demasiado débiles, de no ser escuchados y de carecer de necesidades físicas. Estas amonestaciones continúan a lo largo de la Biblia y abarcan los diferentes aspectos del "espíritu de temor".

En el Salmo 56:11, el salmista escribe: “En Dios confío; No tendré miedo. ¿Qué puede hacerme el hombre?" Este es un testimonio asombroso del poder de confiar en Dios. Independientemente de lo que suceda, el salmista confiará en Dios porque conoce y comprende el poder de Dios. La clave para vencer el miedo, entonces, es la confianza total y completa en Dios. Confiar en Dios es negarse a ceder al miedo. Es volverse a Dios incluso en los tiempos más oscuros y confiar en que Él hará las cosas bien. Esta confianza proviene de conocer a Dios y saber que Él es bueno. Como dijo Job cuando estaba pasando por algunas de las pruebas más difíciles registradas en la Biblia: "Aunque me matare, en él confiaré" (Job 13:15 NKJV).

Una vez que hayamos aprendido a poner nuestra confianza en Dios, ya no tendremos miedo de las cosas que vengan contra nosotros. Seremos como el salmista que dijo con confianza “… se alegren todos los que en ti se refugian; que canten siempre de alegría. Extiende tu protección sobre ellos, para que los que aman tu nombre se regocijen en ti ”(Salmos 5:11).

CRIANZA: Ser un buen padre puede ser una empresa difícil y desafiante, pero al mismo tiempo puede ser la cosa más gratificante y satisfactoria que jamás hayamos hecho. La Biblia tiene mucho que decir sobre la forma en que podemos criar con éxito a nuestros hijos para que sean hombres y mujeres de Dios. Como buen padre, lo primero que debemos hacer es enseñarles la verdad acerca de la Palabra de Dios.

Además de amar a Dios y ser un ejemplo piadoso al comprometernos con Sus mandamientos, debemos prestar atención al mandato de Deuteronomio 6: 7-9 con respecto a enseñar a nuestros hijos a hacer lo mismo. Este pasaje enfatiza la naturaleza continua de tal instrucción. Debe hacerse en todo momento: en casa, en la carretera, por la noche y por la mañana. La verdad bíblica debe ser la base de nuestros hogares. Al seguir los principios de estos mandamientos, les enseñamos a nuestros hijos que la adoración a Dios debe ser constante, no reservada para los domingos por la mañana ni para las oraciones nocturnas.

Aunque nuestros hijos aprenden mucho a través de la enseñanza directa, aprenden mucho más observándonos. Por eso debemos tener cuidado en todo lo que hacemos. Primero debemos reconocer nuestros roles dados por Dios. Los esposos y las esposas deben ser mutuamente respetuosos y sumisos el uno al otro (Efesios 5:21). Al mismo tiempo, Dios ha establecido una línea de autoridad para mantener el orden. “Ahora quiero que se den cuenta de que la cabeza de todo hombre es Cristo, y la cabeza de la mujer es el hombre, y la cabeza de Cristo es Dios” (1 Corintios 11: 3). Sabemos que Cristo no es inferior a Dios, así como una esposa no es inferior a su esposo. Dios reconoce, sin embargo, que sin sumisión a la autoridad no hay orden. La responsabilidad del esposo como cabeza de familia es amar a su esposa como ama a su propio cuerpo, de la misma manera sacrificada en que Cristo amó a la iglesia (Efesios 5: 25-29).

En respuesta a este liderazgo amoroso, no es difícil para la esposa someterse a la autoridad de su esposo (Efesios 5:24; Colosenses 3:18). Su responsabilidad principal es amar y respetar a su esposo, vivir con sabiduría y pureza y cuidar el hogar (Tito 2: 4-5). Las mujeres son naturalmente más cariñosas que los hombres porque fueron diseñadas para ser las principales cuidadoras de sus hijos.

La disciplina y la instrucción son partes integrales de ser un buen padre. Proverbios 13:24 dice: "El que perdona la vara odia a su hijo, pero el que lo ama tiene cuidado de disciplinarlo". Los niños que crecen en hogares indisciplinados se sienten indeseados e indignos. Carecen de dirección y autocontrol y, a medida que envejecen, se rebelan y tienen poco o ningún respeto por cualquier tipo de autoridad, incluida la de Dios. “Disciplina a tu hijo, porque en eso hay esperanza; no seas partícipe voluntario de su muerte ”(Proverbios 19:18). Al mismo tiempo, la disciplina debe equilibrarse con el amor, o los niños pueden crecer resentidos, desanimados y rebeldes (Colosenses 3:21). Dios reconoce que la disciplina es dolorosa cuando está sucediendo (Hebreos 12:11), pero si es seguida por una instrucción amorosa, es muy beneficiosa para el niño. “Los padres no exasperen a sus hijos; al contrario, críalos en la disciplina y la instrucción del Señor ”(Efesios 6: 4).

Como buen padre, es importante involucrar a sus hijos en la familia y el ministerio de la iglesia cuando son pequeños. Asista con regularidad a una iglesia que cree en la Biblia (Hebreos 10:25), permítales verlo estudiar la Palabra y también estudiarla con ellos. Discuta con ellos el mundo que los rodea tal como lo ven y enséñeles acerca de la gloria de Dios a través de la vida diaria. “Instruye al niño en el camino que debe andar, y cuando sea viejo no se apartará de él” (Proverbios 22: 6). Ser un buen padre tiene que ver con criar hijos que seguirán su ejemplo al obedecer y adorar al Señor.

Who is in charge of our children state county who?

Everyone has their own opinion it is there right or is it?

Each state imposes legal responsibility on parents and legal guardians for the ... charged with violating your parental duty to supervise your child.

If a parent can be held liable for this than why is counties and state mandating mask for children in school just asking? As a parent are you taking away my rights are you forcing me to do something against mt beliefs, yes covid is real but so was the flu, polio, chicken pox, and more however there was no mask requirement, and do not sad covid is more deadly than these. I wonder is this a way for politicians to promote fear within America.

One can walk around without a mask any where but yet in school kids must have mask this is an oxymoron. Politicians can board plane and party without a mask but children in school must have a mask, reality when God is ready to call you home, he will Covid or being hit by a crazy driver. Let’s see what God’s word says about fear and parenting.

This is from an article: A new report published by an American Medical Association journal revealed forcing children to wear face masks leads to adverse health effects. JAMA Pediatrics, a top-rated monthly journal published by the AMA, found wearing face masks increases the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled air to unhealthy levels.

The study measured carbon dioxide levels in 45 children ages 6-17 while wearing masks. The normal content of carbon dioxide in the air is 400 parts per million (ppm), with anything above 2000 ppm considered unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office.

FEAR: The Bible mentions two specific types of fear. The first type is beneficial and is to be encouraged. The second type is a detriment and is to be overcome. The first type of fear is fear of the Lord. This type of fear does not necessarily mean to be afraid of something. Rather, it is a reverential awe of God, a reverence for His power and glory. However, it is also a proper respect for His wrath and anger. In other words, the fear of the Lord is a total acknowledgement of all that God is, which comes through knowing Him and His attributes.

Fear of the Lord brings with it many blessings and benefits. It is the beginning of wisdom and leads to good understanding (Psalm 111:10). Only fools despise wisdom and discipline (Proverbs 1:7). Furthermore, fear of the Lord leads to life, rest, peace, and contentment (Proverbs 19:23). It is the fountain and life (Proverbs 14:27) and provides a security and a place of safety for us (Proverbs 14:26).

Thus, one can see how fearing God should be encouraged. However, the second type of fear mentioned in the Bible is not beneficial at all. This is the “spirit of fear” mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (NKJV). A spirit of fearfulness and timidity does not come from God.

However, sometimes we are afraid, sometimes this “spirit of fear” overcomes us, and to overcome it we need to trust in and love God completely. “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). No one is perfect, and God knows this. That is why He has liberally sprinkled encouragement against fear throughout the Bible. Beginning in the book of Genesis and continuing throughout the book of Revelation, God reminds us to “Fear not.”

For example, Isaiah 41:10 encourages us, “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Often, we fear the future and what will become of us. But Jesus reminds us that God cares for the birds of the air, so how much more will He provide for His children? “So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:31). Just these few verses cover many different types of fear. God tells us not to be afraid of being alone, of being too weak, of not being heard, and of lacking physical necessities. These admonishments continue throughout the Bible, covering the many different aspects of the “spirit of fear.”

In Psalm 56:11 the psalmist writes, “In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” This is an awesome testimony to the power of trusting in God. Regardless of what happens, the psalmist will trust in God because he knows and understands the power of God. The key to overcoming fear, then, is total and complete trust in God. Trusting God is a refusal to give in to fear. It is a turning to God even in the darkest times and trusting Him to make things right. This trust comes from knowing God and knowing that He is good. As Job said when he was experiencing some of the most difficult trials recorded in the Bible, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15 NKJV).

Once we have learned to put our trust in God, we will no longer be afraid of the things that come against us. We will be like the psalmist who said with confidence “…let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you” (Psalm 5:11).

PARENTING:

Being a good parent can be a difficult and challenging venture, but at the same time can be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing we ever do. The Bible has a great deal to say about the way we can successfully raise our children to be men and women of God. As a good parent, the first thing we must do is teach them the truth about God’s Word.

Along with loving God and being a godly example by committing ourselves to His commands, we need to heed the command of Deuteronomy 6:7-9 regarding teaching our children to do the same. This passage emphasizes the ongoing nature of such instruction. It should be done at all times—at home, on the road, at night, and in the morning. Biblical truth should be the foundation of our homes. By following the principles of these commands, we teach our children that worshiping God should be constant, not reserved for Sunday mornings or nightly prayers.

Although our children learn a great deal through direct teaching, they learn much more by watching us. Therefore we must be careful in everything we do. We must first acknowledge our God-given roles. Husbands and wives are to be mutually respectful and submissive to each other (Ephesians 5:21). At the same time, God has established a line of authority to keep order. “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God” (1 Corinthians 11:3). We know that Christ is not inferior to God, just as a wife is not inferior to her husband. God recognizes, however, that without submission to authority, there is no order. The husband’s responsibility as the head of the household is to love his wife as he loves his own body, in the same sacrificial way that Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25-29).

In response to this loving leadership, it is not difficult for the wife to submit to her husband’s authority (Ephesians 5:24; Colossians 3:18). Her primary responsibility is to love and respect her husband, live in wisdom and purity, and take care of the home (Titus 2:4-5). Women are naturally more nurturing than men because they were designed to be the primary caretakers of their children.

Discipline and instruction are integral parts of being a good parent. Proverbs 13:24 says, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Children who grow up in undisciplined households feel unwanted and unworthy. They lack direction and self-control, and as they get older, they rebel and have little or no respect for any kind of authority, including God’s. “Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death” (Proverbs 19:18). At the same time, discipline must be balanced with love, or children may grow up resentful, discouraged, and rebellious (Colossians 3:21). God recognizes that discipline is painful when it is happening (Hebrews 12:11), but if followed by loving instruction, it is remarkably beneficial to the child. “Fathers do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

As a good parent, it is important to involve your children in the church family and ministry when they are young. Regularly attend a Bible-believing church (Hebrews 10:25), allow them to see you studying the Word, and also study it with them. Discuss with them the world around them as they see it and teach them about the glory of God through everyday life. “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Being a good parent is all about raising children who will follow your example in obeying and worshiping the Lord.

Are we not allowed to speak?

Tucker: Marine battalion leader calls out military leaders, failed leadership: Then relieved of duty (fired)

Are we not allowed to speak out or have an opinion? You have military officers being relieved of duty because they voiced their opinion about Afghanistan. No one in this world has not voiced their opinion, no one in this world has not at some time spoken the truth, no one in this world has not lied at some point?

But we all have sin; they have come short of the glory of God; we are to speak the truth, but if we live in America, are we not allowed to have freedom of speech. Have we embarked owner nation of dictatorship or nation a fear? Are we not supposed to be honest because honesty it's truthfulness, not now it is almost a crime to speak honestly. Bad is good, and now good is bad; that's how our nation has become?

Honesty is a biblical principle; as I said before, no one on this planet has not lied. Once we believe a lie quicker than the truth, one would accept a false statement quicker. However, that doesn't give us the right to continue to lie; we need to look at ourselves and realize that lies will cause issues, hardships, and yes, can even cause death.

No, I do not know what's in the mind or hearts of our elected leaders, but I know that we are regressing, not progress. Fear is being put into the hearts in the minds of the American people, but fear is a liar fear is false evidence appearing real. I recall in my younger days I've heard people make comments, then no one knows the evil lurks in the heart of a man. As for me, I know that my father in heaven is in control because he knows everything.

Now is this evil beginning to manifest itself? What happened to us to our leaders doing what is right for the American people. we have people that thrive on power, but I once remember hearing that absolute power corrupts absolutely? Is that what's happening here now?

Now, what does the Bible say about honesty? Honestly, it's truthfulness. An honest person has the habit of making accurate, trustworthy statements about life self-others in God. An honest person represents themselves as zest as they are in telling others the truth about themselves and what is not pleasing to God. Honestly, it's not expressing everything that goes through yours or my mind that that's trapped; that's transparency, and yes, a person can be honest without being transparent. However, no one can be consistently honest without a commitment to the truth. Honestly will at the time hurt someone filling, but that does not mean that dishonesty is preferable.

This honestly is reproved in scripture. God does not accept a person who practiced deceit; that's in psalms 101 verse 7. Jeremiah 9 verse 5 says of the wicked society everyone deceives his neighbor. No one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies they worried themselves committing, and nicotine speaking the truth well honestly is a mark of healthy human action.

A person who knows the truth but for whatever reason says differently it's a liar. The Bible emphasizes the importance of making true statements about God. Personally, misrepresenting God is a serious offense. A liar is defined first and foremost as someone who denies that Jesus is Christ first John chapter 2 verse 22 trusting allies is consistent with forgetting God Jeremiah 13 verse 25 and those who claim to know God but contradict him add to his words or refused to follow accept his commandments are also called liars first John chapter two verse 4 first John chapter 5 verse 10 proverbs chapter 30 verse 6.

Yes, I know many people have misquoted scriptures it took, and that includes our political leaders. They have to misquote scripture or use scripture to try to justify their mistakes.

Honestly, as a character quality signifies the spiritual work in a person's soul, God cannot lie. Look at Hebrews six verse 18; therefore, his presence in a person gives rise to truthfulness. And if you are following price a child of God, then you should be honest; I don't care if you're in the military or not. You should do the will of God, then do as the Lord leads you and be honest, yes there will be repercussions, but it is standing firm in the faith. You're going to be OK call faith stand for father all in thy hands.

Reality humankind, whatever terminology you want to use, we're not honest. We are not naturally honest look at psalms 116 verse 11.

This honesty, please do more and more wickedness look up proverbs 17 verse 4 lion to fulfill worldly desires ultimately leaves it results in a loss of everything a person has including their life. Health inhabited will include all liars read revelation 21 verse 18 work good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul look at mark 8 verse 36.

Yes, indeed here and now, it is sometimes tempting to lying misrepresenting ourselves, or downplaying uncomfortable truth to avoid conflict dishonesty is never good for any relationship in any leadership speaking dishonesty words or dishonest words to avoid conflict is flattery take a look at Psalms 12 verse 2 again at times honestly with hurt the feelings of others it is inevitable remember the words of the wise wounds from her friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

Still, we need to do our best to practice honesty.

Pray for our Nation, leaders, and each other. No matter what side of the political line you support, we need to unite as Americans regardless of our Ethnicities groups; we need to stop the hatred, bickering, and much more. We need to come back to Jesus and God. Bring God back into our nation. We need Jesus now more than we may realize. Here and now.

All the time, God is good, and all the time, God is good God is not dead. He is truly alive blessings In Christ Jesus.

¿No se nos permite hablar?

Tucker: el líder del batallón de la Infantería de Marina llama a los líderes militares, liderazgo fallido: luego relevado del deber (despedido) ¿No se nos permite hablar o tener una opinión? Hay oficiales militares relevados del deber porque expresaron su opinión sobre Afganistán. Nadie en este mundo no ha expresado su opinión, nadie en este mundo no ha dicho en algún momento la verdad, nadie en este mundo no ha mentido en algún momento?

Pero todos tenemos pecado; han estado destituidos de la gloria de Dios; Debemos decir la verdad, pero si vivimos en Estados Unidos, ¿no se nos permite tener libertad de expresión? ¿Nos hemos embarcado en la nación dueña de la dictadura o en la nación un miedo? ¿No se supone que debemos ser honestos porque la honestidad es la veracidad? No, ahora es casi un crimen hablar con honestidad. Lo malo es bueno y ahora lo bueno es malo; así es como se ha convertido nuestra nación?

La honestidad es un principio bíblico; como dije antes, nadie en este planeta no ha mentido. Una vez que creemos una mentira más rápido que la verdad, uno aceptará una declaración falsa más rápido. Sin embargo, eso no nos da derecho a seguir mintiendo; debemos mirarnos a nosotros mismos y darnos cuenta de que las mentiras causarán problemas, dificultades y, sí, incluso pueden causar la muerte.

No, no sé lo que está en la mente o por los líderes electos, pero sé que estamos retrocediendo, no progresando. El miedo se está poniendo en los corazones de las mentes del pueblo estadounidense, pero el miedo es un mentiroso, el miedo es una evidencia falsa que parece real. Recuerdo que en mi juventud escuché a la gente hacer comentarios, luego nadie sabe que el mal acecha en el corazón de un hombre. En cuanto a mí, sé que mi padre tiene el control porque lo sabe todo.

Ahora, ¿está comenzando a manifestarse este mal? ¿Qué nos pasó a nuestros líderes haciendo lo correcto para el pueblo estadounidense? ¿Tiene personas que prosperan con el poder, pero una vez recuerdo haber escuchado que el poder absoluto corrompe absolutamente? ¿Es eso lo que está pasando aquí ahora? Ahora bien, ¿qué dice la Biblia sobre la honestidad? Honestamente, es veracidad. Una persona honesta tiene el hábito de hacer declaraciones precisas y confiables sobre la vida de los demás en Dios. Una persona honesta se representa a sí misma con tanto entusiasmo como en decirle a los demás la verdad sobre sí misma y lo que no agrada a Dios. Honestamente, no está expresando todo lo que pasa por la tuya o por mi mente lo que está atrapado; eso es transparencia, y sí, una persona puede ser honesta sin ser transparente. Sin embargo, nadie puede ser constantemente honesto sin un compromiso con la verdad. Honestamente, en ese momento hará daño a alguien que se llena, pero eso no significa que la deshonestidad sea preferible.

Esto honestamente está reprobado en las Escrituras. Dios no acepta a una persona que practicó el engaño; eso está en el Salmo 101, versículo 7. Jeremías 9, versículo 5, dice de la sociedad malvada que todo el mundo engaña a su prójimo. Nadie dice la verdad. Le han enseñado a su lengua a decir mentiras que se preocupaban por cometer, y la nicotina decir la verdad con honestidad es una señal de acción humana saludable.

Una persona que sabe la verdad pero por alguna razón dice lo contrario es un mentiroso. La Biblia enfatiza la importancia de hacer declaraciones verdaderas acerca de Dios. Personalmente, tergiversar a Dios es una ofensa grave. Un mentiroso se define ante todo como alguien que niega que Jesús es Cristo primero Juan capítulo 2 versículo 22 confiar en aliados es consistente con olvidar a Dios Jeremías 13 versículo 25 y aquellos que dicen conocer a Dios pero lo contradicen agregan a sus palabras o rehúsan seguirlo Aceptan sus mandamientos también se les llama mentirosos primero Juan capítulo dos versículo 4 primero Juan capítulo 5 versículo 10 proverbios capítulo 30 versículo 6. Sí, sé que muchas personas han citado incorrectamente las escrituras que tomó, y eso incluye a nuestros líderes políticos. Tienen que citar mal las Escrituras o usar las Escrituras para tratar de justificar sus errores.

Honestamente, como una cualidad de carácter significa el trabajo espiritual en el alma de una persona, Dios no puede mentir. Mire Hebreos seis versículo 18; por tanto, su presencia en una persona da lugar a la veracidad. Y si estás siguiendo el precio de un hijo de Dios, entonces debes ser honesto; No me importa si estás en el ejército o no. Debes hacer la voluntad de Dios, luego haz lo que el Señor te guía y sé honesto, sí habrá repercusiones, pero se mantiene firme en la fe. Vas a estar bien, llama a la fe para el padre, todo en tus manos.

La humanidad de la realidad, sea cual sea la terminología que quieras usar, no somos honestos. No somos naturalmente honestos, mire el Salmo 116 versículo 11. Esta honestidad tiene una recompensa mundana mintiéndoles, trayendo satisfacción sexual a las posiciones políticas del poder de las pandillas financieras. Aún así, todo es temporal, pero estas recompensas tienen un precio, mira lo que está sucediendo ahora en Afganistán en ese país.

Esta honestidad, por favor, haga más y más maldad, busque proverbios 17 versículo 4 león para cumplir los deseos mundanos que finalmente deja como resultado la pérdida de todo lo que una persona tiene, incluida su vida. La salud habitada incluirá a todos los mentirosos leer Apocalipsis 21 versículo 18 Trabajar bien es para que un hombre gane todo el trabajoAún perdería su alma, mire Marcos 8 versículo 36.

Sí, de hecho aquí y ahora, a veces es tentador mentir, tergiversarnos a nosotros mismos, o restar importancia a la verdad incómoda para evitar conflictos, la deshonestidad nunca es buena para ninguna relación en ningún liderazgo. El versículo 2 nuevamente a veces honestamente con herir los sentimientos de los demás es inevitable recordar las palabras de las sabias heridas de su amiga se puede confiar, pero un enemigo multiplica los besos. Proverbios 27 versículo seis en Francia está dispuesto a herir con la verdad palabras dulces si la mentira es el enemigo, así que le he repetido [sPause sec = 2.2 ePause] a Fran esta de lana hasta el útero con la verdad dulces palabras si la mentira es la Los enemigos de nuestra alma con que se diga honestamente en la honestidad siempre deben ser competentes por la mansedumbre la persona honesta está motivada por el amor no compra la obsesión por confiar en información precisa proverbios 19 versículo 22 sobre todo la persona honesta se preocupa por decir la verdad acerca de Dios ha estado fomentando el crecimiento espiritual de otras personas eficiente cuatro versículo 29 aquellos que siguen a Jesús la verdad Juan 14 versículo seis hablarán la verdad con amor eficiente 4 versículo 15.

Entonces, para terminar, seamos diligentes con lo que hacemos, lo que decimos y cómo dijimos que hagamos nuestro mejor esfuerzo para ser honestos en todas las situaciones, opiniones, familia, amistad en nosotros mismos, sobre todo, seamos honestos, es Sharon, la palabra de Dios, seamos sinceros. palabra de Dios sí, todos mentimos a veces. Aún así, debemos hacer nuestro mejor esfuerzo para practicar la honestidad. Ore por nuestra Nación, los líderes y entre nosotros. No importa qué lado de la línea política apoye, debemos unirnos como estadounidenses independientemente de nuestros grupos étnicos; tenemos que acabar con el odio, las peleas y mucho más. Necesitamos volver a Jesús y Dios. Traiga a Dios de regreso a nuestra nación. Necesitamos a Jesús ahora más de lo que nos damos cuenta. Aquí y ahora. Todo el tiempo, Dios es bueno, y todo el tiempo, Dios es bueno. Dios no está muerto. Él es bendiciones verdaderamente vivas en Cristo Jesús.

Muchos me han dicho que no diga que el hermano mayor está mirando. Corrupción Esto se discutirá en otro podcast. Vivimos en un mundo de corrupción: de arriba hacia abajo, la corrupción en la Biblia es el estado de contaminación moral y decadencia espiritual expresada a través de la desobediencia a Dios. Ore por el personal militar asesinado en Afganistán y sus familias y por los estadounidenses que nuestro gobierno dejó allí.

No me avergüenzo del evangelio que la gente me dice que tenga cuidado. Sin embargo, me encanta compartir la palabra de Dios y compartir la verdad sobre lo que está sucediendo en esta nación. Creo en la palabra de Dios, no en la palabra del hombre. Muchos me han dicho que no diga que el hermano mayor está mirando; sí, eso puede ser cierto, pero Jesús me está cuidando. Les digo que el miedo es un mentiroso.

Les pregunto si están familiarizados con este versículo Romanos 8:31 31 ¿Qué, pues, diremos a estas cosas? Si Dios es por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros? Me mantendré firme en mi fe porque mi Señor y Salvador declaró en Mateo 5: 10-12 Versión King James 10 Bienaventurados los que padecen persecución por causa de la justicia, porque de ellos es el reino de los cielos. 11 Bienaventurados sois cuando los hombres os insulten y os persigan, y digan todo mal contra vosotros falsamente, por mi causa.

12 Gozaos y alegraos, porque vuestro galardón es grande en los cielos; porque así persiguieron a los profetas que fueron antes de vosotros. Pero yo me mantengo firme en la fe, ¿tú también estarás firme en tu fe? Entonces deberíamos dar la bienvenida a la persecución por amor a Cristo y por el amor de nuestro Dios, nuestro padre en los cielos.

Como cristianos, debemos ponernos de pie, debemos hablar y no pedir disculpas por nuestra fe, y creer en Dios en Jesucristo. Tienes a todas estas personas que básicamente dictan al pueblo estadounidense lo que deben hacer y no deben hacer, eso es triste, y se llaman a sí mismos líderes, me pregunto cómo se sentirían si de repente alguien comenzara a dictarles con su gran dinero de bolsillo lo que quieren. debería hacer y no hacer.

Mientras miro a mi alrededor mientras estoy sentado aquí viendo a estos jóvenes practicar fútbol y a los niños pequeños aquí, realmente me llena de mucha tristeza saber que su futuro está en peligro debido a lo que está sucediendo aquí, ahora tenemos líderes que se inclinan ante BLM y ahora los talibanes, ¿qué es eso de decirle al pueblo estadounidense que somos débiles como nación? Estados Unidos tiene líderes débiles. Ahora, si lo piensa, Jesucristo fue el líder de todos los líderes: Aquí hay seis formas en que Jesús es diferente de los líderes de hoy, y lo que esas diferencias nos enseñan. 1. Jesús siempre dice la verdad.

¿Recuerda cuando Jesús llama a los fariseos “generación de víboras” (Mateo 12:34)? Ay. Palabras duras. Los fariseos tenían una gran influencia religiosa, ¿no habría sido una mejor estrategia bajar el tono un poco? Pero Jesús dice la verdad sin temor a las repercusiones. Le preocupa compartir su mensaje, no ganar apoyo político.

Jesús tampoco está usando verdades contundentes para provocar la ira de las personas que ya están de su lado. No va por el momento de "te pillé" o la "bomba de la verdad". Sea o no para su ventaja, e incluso si eso significa que perderá seguidores, él dice la verdad. Porque la verdad, sin diluir, es lo que nos libera. 2. Jesús pide más y ofrece más.

A todos nos gusta lo fácil, y las personas que buscan el poder suelen basar sus campañas en facilitarnos las cosas. "Vote por mí: se abordarán sus inquietudes y se resolverán sus problemas". Incluso si sabemos en nuestro corazón que no puede ser tan simple, fácil puede ser una oferta atractiva. Pero mientras Jesús dice que su yugo es suave y su carga liviana (Mateo 11:30), su plan tiene un alto costo de unión. Él dice: "El que quiera ser mi discípulo, debe negarse a sí mismo, tomar su cruz y seguirme" (Mateo 16:24).

"Toma tu cruz" sería un eslogan de campaña horrible, crees. Nadie lo aceptaría. Pero Jesús está jugando a largo plazo; está jugando por la eternidad. La recompensa es grande, aunque el viaje puede ser difícil. Pero nos recuerda que vale la pena: "¿De qué le sirve a alguien ganar el mundo entero y, sin embargo, perder o perder a sí mismo?" (Lucas 9:25). Jesús nos ofrece una eternidad llena de alegría con él, pero no a cambio de un voto o de un porcentaje de nuestro corazón. Quiere más que eso: quiere todo nuestro corazón, alma, mente y fuerza. 3. Jesús nos valora más.

Jesús nos valora tanto que pagó nuestra deuda de pecado con su muerte. Pablo nos dice que, “por el gozo puesto delante de él sufrió la cruz, menospreciando su vergüenza…” (Hebreos 12: 2). El gozo de la comunión con nosotros fue mayor para él que el dolor de la cruz. ¡Y no se detiene ahí! Él todavía nos está buscando, todavía nos llama. No se le puede detener porque su amor por nosotros es implacable. 4. Jesús nos valora a todos.

No solo pasa tiempo con personas que el mundo rechaza, sino que también las busca. Busca a los marginados, los pobres, los enfermos, los débiles y las personas consideradas "sin valor" Estas son las personas con las que Jesús quiere pasar tiempo. 5. Jesús está motivado por la compasión.

Pero Jesús es el campeón de la compasión. Deja que la compasión arruine sus planes, frustre a sus seguidores y desequilibre el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida. Vemos esto claramente justo después de la muerte de Juan el Bautista. Jesús se retira a un lugar remoto para estar solo (Mateo 14:13). Muy a menudo rodeado de multitudes, Jesús quería estar solo después de la muerte de alguien importante para él. Pero la multitud se enteró de adónde iba, y en lugar de darle un poco de espacio, lo siguieron y se apretujaron a su alrededor, ansiosos por satisfacer sus propias necesidades. 6. Jesús perdona.

Necesitamos responsabilizar a nuestros líderes, pero el verdadero arrepentimiento debe encontrarse con el verdadero perdón. Ese tipo de perdón nos libera para ser las personas para las que Dios nos creó.

Jesús no perdona para "ser amable" o porque es lo socialmente aceptable, perdona para liberar a las personas. No quiere nada que impida que las personas vivan la vida en toda su plenitud (Juan 10:10).

Quiero desafiar tanto a los creyentes como a los no creyentes a que se pongan de pie y hablen con estos líderes para impugnar a los electores en ese momento y explicarles que no están de acuerdo con lo que está sucediendo ahora, si miran bien, esto estaba sucediendo, es el la gente en el poder a que nos divirtamos y salgamos sin máscara y dictemos a la gente que los eligió. Tenemos líderes que abiertamente no usan máscaras, pero dicen que voy a emitir un mandato de máscara para todo mi estado. Quiero decir, piensa en eso. La gente lo piensa. Fuimos creados a imagen de Dios, no a imagen de hombre.

Además, desafío a creyentes y no creyentes por igual a que levanten su cruz y sigan a Cristo, ahora pueden decir que este es probablemente un podcast extraño que estoy haciendo hoy, pero no es realmente extraño, es esto lo que deseo que nosotros, como estadounidenses, despertemos. hasta lo que realmente está sucediendo en nuestra nación. Hay tantos líderes que no se dan cuenta de que Dios es quien los colocó en estas posiciones, y ahora es obvio que están abusando de estas posiciones. Y Satanás los está utilizando como secuaces para llegar a Dios.

¿Sabes que? Algunas personas llaman al presidente Biden en lugar de llamarlo comandante en jefe. Lo llaman el cobarde en jefe. Creo que eso es triste. Quiero decir, en los años que Dios me ha bendecido con vivir, nunca había escuchado a alguien hacer un comentario así sobre el presidente. Que yo sepa, ningún líder se ha rendido ante los terroristas. El liderazgo en situaciones de crisis es una parte esencial del liderazgo en el mundo actual. ... Y es una nación en la que estamos en crisis, en un grave estado de caos. La Biblia nos proporciona una guía sobre cómo debemos ver las diversas crisis que experimentamos. Se nos dice: “Porque yo sé los planes que tengo para ti, declara el SEÑOR, planes para el bienestar y no para el mal, para darte un futuro y una esperanza” (Jeremías 29:11, NVI).

Necesitamos mantenernos firmes en nuestra fe. Es importante aferrarse a la fe en tiempos de crisis, ya que vemos lo que está sucediendo hoy aquí. También es importante para nosotros orar por nuestros líderes porque creo que a veces ellos realmente no entienden que Dios es quien los coloca allí a través del voto de la gente, pero es importante para nosotros orar por nuestros líderes. .

Entonces, me gustaría tomarme un momento y orar por estos líderes. Oren por nuestro líder. Empecé a rezar. Le pido a Dios que ablande sus corazones a los que tienen un corazón de piedra para darles un corazón de carne; Dios Padre, gracias por los hombres y mujeres que sirven a nuestro país en roles de liderazgo y por sus familias. Por favor, brinde a nuestros líderes recordatorios todos los días de por qué decidieron dedicar sus vidas al servicio público y use ese compromiso para alentarlos.

Con toda esta locura en el caos y la crisis que está ocurriendo dentro de esta nación, no solo la nación sino el mundo, debemos asegurarnos de enseñar a nuestros hijos el evangelio la verdad del evangelio y compartir con ellos el evangelio para que puedan conviértase en líderes fuertes, hombres y mujeres de fe firme. Los niños necesitan la Palabra de Dios para: una. Lucha contra el pecado y la tentación B. Combatir mentiras culturales BLM-ANTIFA-CANCELAR CULTURA-TEORIA DE LA CARRERA CRÍTICA-DEFUNDAR A LA POLICÍA. C. Construya una base para una fe de por vida

Many have told me don’t say that big brother is watching.

Corruption This will be discussed on another podcast. We live in a world of corruption: from the top-down corruption in the Bible is the state of moral contamination, and spiritual decay expressed through disobedience toward God. Please pray for the military personnel killed in Afghanistan and their families and the Americans left behind there by our government.

I am not ashamed of the gospel people are telling me to be careful. However, l love sharing God's word and sharing the truth about what's going on within this nation. I believe in the word of God, not the word of man. Many have told me don’t say that big brother is watching; yeah, that may be true, but Jesus is watching over me. I tell them that fear is a liar.

I ask them are you familiar with this verse Romans 8:31

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? I’m going to stand firm in my faith because my Lord and savior stated in Matthew 5:10-12 King James Version

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. But I stand firm in faith will you stand firm also in your faith.

We then Should welcome the persecution for Christ’s sake and for the love of our God, our father in heaven.

As Christians, we should stand up we should speak up and not be apologetic for our faith, and believe in God in Jesus Christ. You got all these people that are basically dictating to the American people what they should do should not do, that is sad, and they call themselves leaders, I wonder how they would feel if suddenly somebody start dictating to them with their big pocket money what they should do and not do.

As I look around as I sit here watching these young men practice football and young kids out here it really fills me with a lot of sorrow to know that their future is in jeopardy because of what's going on here now we got leaders does bowing down to BLM and now the Taliban what is that telling American people that we are weak as a nation America has weak leaders. Now if you think about it Jesus Christ was the leader of all leaders: Here are six ways Jesus is different from the leaders of today, and what those differences teach us.

Jesus always speaks the truth.

Remember when Jesus calls the Pharisees a “brood of vipers” (Matthew 12:34)? Ouch. Harsh words. The Pharisees had great religious influence — wouldn’t it have been a better strategy to tone it down a bit? But Jesus speaks the truth without fear of repercussions. He’s concerned with sharing his message, not gaining political support.

Nor is Jesus using hard-hitting truths to rile up anger from people already on his side. He’s not going for the “gotcha” moment or the “truth bomb.” Whether or not it’s to his advantage, and even if it means he’ll lose supporters, he speaks the truth. Because the truth — undiluted — is what sets us free.

Jesus asks for more and offers more.

We all like easy, and people who seek power often base their campaigns around making things easier for us. “Vote for me: Your concerns will be addressed, and your problems solved!” Even if we know in our hearts that it can’t be quite that simple, easy can be an attractive offer.

But while Jesus says that his yoke is easy and his burden light (Matthew 11:30), his plan has a steep joining fee. He says, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).

“Take up your cross” would be a horrible campaign slogan you think. No one would go for it. But Jesus is playing the long game; he’s playing for eternity. The reward is great though the journey may be rough. But he reminds us of it’s worth it: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” (Luke 9:25). Jesus offers us an eternity full of joy with him, but not in exchange for a vote or a certain percentage of our hearts. He wants more than that — he wants our whole hearts, souls, minds, and strength.

Jesus values us more.

Jesus values us so much that he paid our debt of sin with his death. Paul tells us that, “For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame …” (Hebrews 12:2). The joy of fellowship with us was greater to him than the pain of the cross.

And he doesn’t stop there! He’s still seeking us, still calling us. He can’t be stopped because his love for us is relentless.

Jesus values all of us.

He not only spends time with people the world rejects but also goes looking for them. He seeks out the ostracized, poor, sick, weak, and people deemed “worthless” — these are the folks Jesus wants to spend time with.

Jesus is motivated by compassion.

But Jesus is the compassion champion. He lets compassion mess up his plans, frustrate his followers, and throw his work-life balance out of whack.

We see this clearly right after John the Baptist’s death. Jesus withdraws to a remote area to be alone (Matthew 14:13). So often surrounded by crowds, Jesus wanted to be alone after the death of someone important to him. But the crowds of people heard about where he was going, and rather than giving him some space, they followed him and pressed in around him, eager to have their own needs filled.

Jesus forgives.

We need to hold our leaders accountable, but true repentance should be met with true forgiveness. That kind of forgiveness sets us free to be the people God created us to be.

Jesus doesn’t forgive to “be nice” or because it’s the socially acceptable thing to do, he forgives to set people free. He doesn’t want anything blocking people from living in life in all its fullness (John 10:10).

I want to challenge believers and non-believer believers alike to stand up in talk to these leaders to contest constituents then and explain to them that they're not in approval of what's going on now if you take good look this was happening it is the people in power at us having fun and going out it without mask on and dictating to the people who elected them. We have leaders openly not wearing mask s but saying I’m going to issue a mask mandate for my whole state. I mean, think about that. People think about it. We are created in the image of God, not in the image of man.

Also, I challenge believers and nonbelievers alike to pick up their cross and follow Christ, now you can say this is probably a strange podcast that I'm doing today, but it's not really strange is this that I wish that we as Americans will wake up to what is truly happening in our nation. You got so many leaders that fail to realize that God is the one that placed them in these positions, and now obvious they're abusing these positions. And they are being used by Satan as minions to get to God.

You know what? Some people are calling president Biden instead of calling him the commander-in-chief. They're calling him the coward in chief. I think that's sad. I mean, in the years that God has blessed me to be living, I have never heard someone make a comment like that about the president. To my knowledge, no leader has ever given in to terrorists.

Crisis leadership is an essential part of leading in today's world. ... And it's a nation we are in a crisis, a serious state of chaos. The Bible provides us guidance on how we should view the various crises we experience. We are told, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV).

We need to hold fast to our faith. It is important to cling to faith in a time of crisis as we see what's going on here today. It is also important for us to pray for our leaders cause I think sometimes they don't really understand that God is the one that places them there through the vote of the people, but it is important for us to pr to pray for our leaders.

So, I would like to take a moment and pray for these leaders pray for our leader. I began to pray. I ask God to soften their hearts to those with a heart of stone to give them a heart of flesh; Father God, thank You for the men and women who serve our country in leadership roles and for their families. Please provide our leaders with reminders each day of why they decided to dedicate their lives to public service and use that commitment to encourage them.

With all this craziness in the chaos and the crisis is going on within this nation, not just the nation but the world, we need to ensure that we teach our children the gospel the truth of the gospel and share with them the gospel so they can become strong leaders—men and women of strong faith.

Kids need God's Word to:

Fight sin and temptation
Combat cultural lies BLM-ANTIFA- CANCEL CULTURE -CRITICAL RACE THEORY-DEFUND THE POLICE.
Build a foundation for life-long faith

I give thanks first to God and his Son Jesus Christ

The Holy Spirit and The Word of God

My Wife and Children for their support

Estadounidenses, sí, tenemos enemigos dentro de nuestro país.

Estados Unidos: ¿está en las profecías bíblicas y qué puede esperar Estados Unidos de la segunda venida de Jesucristo? estamos siendo atacados desde dentro Por favor, despierten, pueblo estadounidense. La amenaza terrorista proviene de todo el espectro político: no podemos tener miedo de hablar. La pregunta es quizás la pregunta que se hace con más frecuencia en relación con la segunda venida, al menos para los estadounidenses. Es una pregunta razonable para cualquier norteamericano, pero está lejos de ser fácil de responder. Sería negligente si dijera que la Biblia nombra expresamente a América en cualquier pasaje desde el Génesis hasta el Apocalipsis. Algunos pasajes de la Biblia pueden referirse a Estados Unidos como posible pero no demostrable, que es el tipo de conjetura que no me entretendré.

Naturalmente, todos los eventos que rodean la segunda venida de Cristo son globales o universales, por lo que necesariamente incluyen a los Estados Unidos. Que el anticristo gobierna América por el mismo período corto que gobierna el resto del mundo está cubierto en Apocalipsis 13: 7. Cómo consigue que esta nación poderosa y ferozmente independiente se acobarde ante su voluntad es probablemente la pregunta más interesante que intentar responder.

Algunas personas creen que Estados Unidos se verá obligado a cumplir con el anticristo después de una invasión de nuestras costas por un importante pacto euroasiático de naciones. En su mayoría, la idea de la invasión surge de la visión de George Washington. En esa visión, se dice que Washington le contó esta historia a su ayudante, quien a su vez se la contó a otra persona justo antes de morir, aproximadamente en el momento de la guerra civil. A Washington se le dijo que tres grandes calamidades sobrevendrían a la nación. Comenzando con la guerra revolucionaria, la guerra civil y, finalmente, alguna guerra futura en la que Estados Unidos sería invadido. Mi opinión erudita de esta visión es, "¿quién sabe?"

Que Estados Unidos requeriría la fuerza para ser empujado al gobierno del anticristo es fácil de creer, pero la fuerza en cuestión podría ser de una naturaleza diferente. Las dos visiones restantes de cómo Estados Unidos se ve obligado a aceptar el pacto final de naciones son probablemente más sostenibles.

El anticristo no actúa solo, sino que cuenta con la ayuda de uno al que las Escrituras se refieren como el falso profeta. Apocalipsis 16:13. 19:20. 20:10 Sabemos poco acerca de quién es esta persona hoy, pero lo que se sabe de él es que no proviene de la misma región, país y quizás incluso del mismo hemisferio que el anticristo. El anticristo se levanta del mar según Apocalipsis 13: 1.

El falso profeta se levanta de la tierra. Apocalipsis 13: 1 1-16. El anticristo gobierna desde el Imperio Romano revivido o la Unión Europea. No se sabe dónde está ubicado el falso profeta con precisión, pero algunos piensan que será América. "Esto, por supuesto, es especulativo, aunque es posible". ("American Prophet") El falso profeta probablemente no estará relacionado con ninguna religión, pero lo más probable es que sea una figura política o un ministro de ciencia. Lo que es puede ser incierto, pero la influencia que ejerce sobre el mundo no lo es. Puede producir señales en los cielos y hacer descender fuego del cielo a voluntad. Tampoco se sabe si lo hace de manera sobrenatural a través de la ayuda del diablo o se involucra en una exhibición pirotécnica tipo Star Wars.

Lo que se sabe es que sus payasadas persuadieron con éxito a la gente en la tierra para que le dieran crédito y gobernara al anticristo. Algunos eruditos bíblicos han pensado que podría provenir de América, y aunque esto no se sabe con certeza, da lugar a la idea de que América se verá apaciguada para unirse al anticristo por su influencia directa. Pero nuevamente, si bien es posible, todavía es solo hipotético en la actualidad.

Un tercer escenario, quizás mucho más probable, es que Estados Unidos sufrirá un colapso de todos sus mercados e instituciones financieras. Después de un fracaso, una nación desesperada puede buscar unirse a los sistemas económicos emergentes del anticristo que tendrán tanto éxito en gran parte del mundo en ese momento. No hace mucho, le hice a algunas personas la pregunta, ¿qué creen que sería lo más desastroso que podría sucederle a Estados Unidos y qué cambiaría su naturaleza de manera significativa, una invasión total de nuestras costas o un colapso financiero completo y generalizado? "La mayoría respondió que obviamente sería el colapso de nuestra economía". ("American Prophet")

Estados Unidos se encuentra en el largo tramo de los buenos tiempos. "Hemos tenido muchos años entre nosotros y los días del tazón de polvo y la caída del mercado de valores de veintinueve". ("¿Estará Estados Unidos listo cuando Jesús regrese?") La Segunda Guerra Mundial también está muy rezagada, y el boom de la posguerra se ha convertido en un exceso de posguerra. "Cualquier país o pueblo que decida invadir las costas de esta poderosa y orgullosa nación correría un gran peligro". ("América-¿Está en las profecías bíblicas?") Pero si se quita lo que los estadounidenses aman, su riqueza, dinero y bendiciones materiales, se podrían hacer bailar al ritmo de cualquier cosa.une. Las promesas del enemigo son el teorema que, cuando se aplica a cómo Estados Unidos se une al excelente nuevo orden mundial malvado, es el más creíble, si no el más probable. ¿Nos dirigimos eso al socialismo o al comunista?

Si el remordimiento por tener más lleva a unos pocos al fraude, el robo y el asesinato, ¿qué le hará a esta nación la falta de casi todos los bienes de consumo? "Si la historia nos enseña algo, la respuesta a esta pregunta no es bonita". ("Profecías bíblicas y qué esperar en la segunda venida de ...") Nunca he tenido más miedo y vergüenza por nuestro país, nuestros hijos, nietos y bisnietos si es la voluntad del Señor que yo tenga alguno porque la administración Biden no respeta nuestra Constitución, proporcionada por nuestros brillantes Padres Fundadores, y basado en su creencia en Dios. no ideas seculares.

Hace unos meses, Estados Unidos era un país soberano con fronteras controladas, un virus manejable, paz en el Medio Oriente, sin conflictos externos y nuestro ejército se preparó para la seguridad. Tuvimos independencia energética / exportaciones. Teníamos la ley y el orden en nuestras calles, apreciamos a nuestra policía y al personal de primeros auxilios, y nadie pensó en quemar negocios y casas porque valoramos los derechos de propiedad privada de todos. Los líderes no censuraron a nuestros ciudadanos en línea, fueron encarcelados durante meses sin derechos humanos legales, y el IRS, el DOJ y otras entidades gubernamentales no estaban apuntando a los ciudadanos. "Los medios de comunicación se han convertido en propagandistas y parecen disfrutar poniéndose del lado de aquellos que quieren destruir nuestro país, y solo informan sobre cosas que moldean sus propias opiniones e ideología". ("Cartas: Estados Unidos bajo ataque; Afganistán; esparcidores del miedo ...") Hay poca verdad en informar las noticias, incluida la integridad de las elecciones. El gasto público está totalmente fuera de control e insostenible. "Los escandalosos planes de gastos de Biden incluyen menos dinero para nuestra defensa".

Americans yes, we do have enemies within our country

America – Is it in Bible prophecies, and what can the USA expect at the second coming of Jesus Christ? we are being attacked from within

Please wake up, American people. The Terrorist Threat is From Across the Political Spectrum: We can't be afraid to speak out.

Question is perhaps the most often asked question heard in connection with the second coming, at least for Americans. It is a reasonable question for any North American to ask, but it is far from easy to answer. I would be remiss if I were to say that the Bible expressly names America in any passage from Genesis to Revelation. Some Bible passages may refer to America as possible but not provable, which is the very kind of conjecture I will not entertain.

Naturally, all the events surrounding the second coming of Christ are global or universal, so they necessarily include the United States. That the antichrist rules America for the same short period he rules the rest of the world is covered in Revelation 13:7. How he gets this powerful and fiercely independent nation to cow to his will is probably the more interesting question to try to answer.

Some people believe that America will be forced to comply with antichrist after an invasion of our shores by a significant Eurasian pact of nations. Mostly, the invasion idea stems from the vision of George Washington. In that vision, it is said that Washington told this story to his aide, who in turn told it to someone else just before he died at about the time of the civil war. Washington was told that three great calamities would befall the nation. Starting with the revolutionary war, the civil war, and finally, some future war where America would be invaded. My learned opinion of this vision is, "who knows?"

That America would require force to be pushed into the rule of the antichrist is easy to believe, but the force in question could be of a different nature. The remaining two views of how the United States is forced into the final pact of nations are probably more tenable.

The antichrist does not act alone, but he is aided by one the scripture refers to as the false prophet. Rev. 16:13. 19:20. 20:10 We know little about who this person is today, but what is known about him is that he doesn't come from the same region, country, and perhaps even the same hemisphere as the antichrist. The antichrist rises from out of the sea according to Rev. 13:1.

The false prophet rises out of the land. Rev. 13:1 1-16. The antichrist rules from the revived Roman Empire or The European Union. Where the false prophet is stationed precisely is not known, but some think it will be America. "This, of course, is speculative, even though it is possible." ("American Prophet") The false prophet will probably not be connected to any religion, but he will most likely be a political figure or a minister of science. What he is may be uncertain, but the influence he wields over the world is not. He can produce signs in the heavens and draw fire down from heaven at will. Whether he does this supernaturally through the aide of the devil or engages some Star Wars-type pyrotechnical display is also not known.

What is known is that his antics successfully persuade the people on earth to give the antichrist both credence and rule. Some biblical scholars have thought that he could come from America, and while this is not known for sure, it gives rise to the idea that America will be assuaged to join with the antichrist by his direct influence. But again, while it is possible, it is still only hypothetical currently.

A third and perhaps far more likely scenario is that America will undergo a collapse of all its markets and financial institutions. Following a failure, a desperate nation may seek to join with the antichrist's emerging economic systems that will be so successful throughout much of the world at that time. Not long ago, I asked some people the question, what do you think would be the most disastrous thing that could happen to America and what would change its nature significantly, an all-out invasion of our shores or a complete and pervasive financial collapse? "The majority answered that it obviously would be the collapse of our economy." ("American Prophet")

America is in the long stretch of the good times. "We have had many years between us and the dust bowl days and the stock market crash of twenty-nine." ("Will America be ready when Jesus Comes Back?") World War Two is also far behind, and the post-war boom has become a post-war glut. "Any country or people that might decide to invade the shores of this powerful and fiercely proud nation would be in great peril." ("America – Is it in Bible prophecies?") But take away what Americans love, their affluence, money, and material blessings, and you could make them dance to just about any tune. The enemy promises are the theorem that, when applied to how America joins the excellent evil new world order, is the most believable, if not the most likely. Are we heading that to socialism or communist?

If the compunction about having more drives a few to fraud, robbery, and murder, what will the lack of almost all consumer goods do to this nation? "If history teaches us anything, the answer to this question is not a pretty one." ("Bible prophecies & what to expect in the second coming of ...")

I have never been more afraid and ashamed for our country, our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids if it is the lord's will for me to have any because the Biden administration doesn't respect our Constitution, provided by our brilliant Founding Fathers, and based on their belief in God. not secular ideas.

A few months ago, the United States was a sovereign county with controlled borders, a manageable virus, peace in the Middle East, no foreign conflicts, and our military built up for security. We had energy independence/exports.

We had law and order in our streets, appreciated our police and first responders, and no one even thought about burning businesses and homes because we valued everyone's private property rights. Leaders didn't censor our citizens online, were put in jail for months without legal human rights, and the IRS, DOJ, and other government entities weren't targeting citizens. "The news media has become propagandists and appear to enjoy siding with those who want to destroy our country, and report only on things that shape their own opinions and ideology." ("Letters: America under attack; Afghanistan; fear-spreaders ...") There is little truth in reporting the news, including on election integrity.

Government spending is totally out of control and unsustainable. "The Biden outrageous spending plans include less money for our defense." ("Letters: America under attack; Afghanistan; fear-spreaders ...") Wow

¿Estás listo para la batalla? Dios Padre, en el poderoso nombre de Jesús, no retrocederé ni retrocederé de miedo, porque entonces Tu alma no se deleitaría ni se complacería en mí. Fui comprado por un precio, comprado con un valor precioso y pagado, hecho tuyo. Te honro, SEÑOR, y deseo darte gloria en mi cuerpo. Dejaré que mi luz brille ante los hombres para que vean mi excelencia moral y mis buenas obras dignas de alabanza, para que te reconozcan, honren, alaben y glorifiquen a ti, mi Padre que estás en los cielos. En el nombre de Jesús Amén

La Biblia tiene mucho que decir sobre la manipulación. A través de ejemplos, principios y mandatos directos, las Escrituras nos advierten contra la manipulación de los demás y contra dejarnos manipular.

En esencia, la manipulación es un tipo de mentira. Cuando alguien habla falsamente con el propósito de engañar, está siendo manipulador, porque engañar es manipular a alguien para que piense o se comporte de cierta manera. Entonces, todas las prohibiciones de la Biblia contra la mentira se pueden aplicar a la manipulación. Mentir es un pecado terrible.

Satanás es el "padre de la mentira" (Juan 8:44). También podríamos llamarlo el "maestro de la manipulación". Manipuló a Eva, usando verdades a medias y apelando a su deseo de sabiduría, para engañarla y hacerla desobedecer a Dios. Hasta el día de hoy, Satanás manipula a las personas en las trampas que les tiende. Él “se disfraza de ángel de luz” (2 Corintios 11:14). Él explota nuestras debilidades, acaricia nuestro orgullo y nos asegura que seguir un camino pecaminoso es lo mejor para nuestros intereses. Es insidioso en su ingenio; tiene muchas estratagemas para ponernos bajo su control.

Sansón fue víctima de manipulación en un par de ocasiones diferentes. En su fiesta de bodas, planteó un acertijo a los asistentes filisteos; si pudieran responderle correctamente, les daría “treinta prendas de lino y treinta juegos de ropa” (Jueces 14:12). Los filisteos estaban perplejos y recurrieron a pedirle a la nueva esposa de Sansón que le engatusara la respuesta. La esposa de Sansón "se arrojó sobre él, sollozando," ¡Me odias! Realmente no me amas. Le ha dado a mi gente un acertijo, pero no me ha dicho la respuesta ". . . Ella lloró los siete días de la fiesta ”(versículos 16-17). Finalmente, Samson se dejó manipular para darle la respuesta, que ella rápidamente transmitió a la gente del pueblo. Más tarde, Sansón fue víctima de la manipuladora Dalila y, como resultado, perdió la vida (Jueces 16).

La Biblia advierte sobre aquellos que nos manipularían en asuntos espirituales. El Nuevo Testamento tiene muchas advertencias para que los cristianos estén atentos a los falsos maestros. No debemos dejarnos engañar fácilmente (Gálatas 3: 1; 2 Pedro 2). Pablo se pronunció en contra de los manipuladores “que se infiltran en los hogares y se apoderan de las mujeres crédulas, que están cargadas de pecados y se dejan llevar por toda clase de malos deseos” (2 Timoteo 3: 6). Jesús advirtió: "Guardaos de los falsos profetas, que vienen a vosotros con piel de oveja, pero por dentro son lobos rapaces" (Mateo 7:15).

No hace falta decir que los cristianos no deben participar en la manipulación ni aprovecharse de los demás de ninguna manera. “Cada uno debe despojarse de la falsedad y hablar con sinceridad a su prójimo, porque todos somos miembros de un cuerpo” (Efesios 4:25). Igual de importante, no debemos dejarnos manipular. Jesús dijo: “Sed astutos como serpientes e inocentes como palomas” (Mateo 10:16). "Astutos como serpientes", no se aprovechen de ellos; "Inocentes como palomas", no manipules a los demás.

Algunas personas son más manipuladoras por naturaleza; tienen una voluntad fuerte y su personalidad genera confianza. Debemos tener cuidado al tratar con esas personas, especialmente cuando pertenecen a nuestra propia familia. Líderes políticos en todas nuestras relaciones, la confianza es importante. Debemos decir la verdad con amor y exigir lo mismo a los demás, sí, esto incluye a nuestros líderes electos.

Paz en el caos [Nuestra] ayuda viene del Señor, el Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Salmo 121: 2

Dios sabe lo que sucederá: después Jesús nunca cambia No temas a las malas noticias: Dios es una fuente de valor Deje que Dios abra su camino: Dios está con usted Dios guarda su palabra: Jesús es el buen pastor Dios está trabajando para su bien: Dios se preocupa por su creación Dios es un lugar seguro: Jesús asegura corazones atribulados Cuando pides, él te escucha: confía en Dios, no en las cosas Mantenga su enfoque en Dios: cuando tenga miedo, vuélvase a Dios Puedes confiar en Dios para el perdón: confía en Dios, no en las personas Confíe en lo que Jesús hizo por usted: confiar en Dios trae bendición Mira la promesa del cielo

Are you ready for battle?

Father God, in the powerful name of Jesus, I will not draw back or shrink in fear, for then Your soul would have no delight or pleasure in me. I was bought for a price—purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made Your very own. I honor You, LORD, and desire to bring glory to You in my body. I will let my light shine before men that they may see my moral excellence and praiseworthy good deeds, that they will recognize, honor, praise, and glorify You, my Father who is in heaven. In Jesus name Amen

The Bible has much to say about manipulation. Through examples, principles, and direct commands, Scripture warns us against manipulating others and against allowing ourselves to be manipulated.

At its core, manipulation is a type of lying. When someone speaks falsely for the purpose of deception, he or she is being manipulative, because to deceive is to manipulate someone into thinking or behaving a certain way. So, all the Bible’s prohibitions against lying can be applied to manipulation. Lying is a dreadful sin.

Satan is the “father of lies” (John 8:44). We might also call him the “master of manipulation.” He manipulated Eve, using half-truths and appeals to her desire for wisdom, to deceive her into disobeying God. To this day, Satan manipulates people into traps he sets for them. He “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). He exploits our weaknesses, strokes our pride, and assures us that following a sinful path is in our best interests. He is insidious in his artfulness; he has many ploys to bring us under his control.

Samson was the victim of manipulation a couple of different times. At his wedding feast, he posed a riddle to the Philistine attendees; if they could answer him correctly, he would give them “thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes” (Judges 14:12). The Philistines were stumped, and they resorted to asking Samson’s new wife to wheedle the answer from him. Samson’s wife “threw herself on him, sobbing, ‘You hate me! You don’t really love me. You’ve given my people a riddle, but you haven’t told me the answer.’ . . . She cried the whole seven days of the feast” (verses 16–17). Finally, Samson allowed himself to be manipulated into giving her the answer, which she promptly relayed to her townspeople. Later, Samson fell victim to the manipulative Delilah, and he lost his life as a result (Judges 16).

The Bible warns of those who would manipulate us in spiritual matters. The New Testament has many warnings for Christians to be on the lookout for false teachers. We must not be easily deceived (Galatians 3:1; 2 Peter 2). Paul spoke out against manipulators “who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires” (2 Timothy 3:6). Jesus warned, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matthew 7:15).

It should go without saying that Christians are not to engage in manipulation or take advantage of others in any way. “Each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body” (Ephesians 4:25). Just as important, we should not allow ourselves to be manipulated. Jesus said, “Be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16). “Shrewd as snakes”—don’t be taken advantage of; “innocent as doves”—don’t manipulate others.

Some people are more manipulative by nature; they have strong wills, and their personalities engender trust. We must be careful when dealing with such people, especially when they are within our own families. Political leaders in all our relationships, trust is important. We should speak the truth in love and demand the same of others yes this includes our elected leaders.

Deberíamos pedirle a Dios. Para darles. Un corazón de carne. Es muy triste. Los líderes que usted y yo elegimos. Es un fracaso. Ha fallado. Esta nación. ¿Qué dice la palabra de Dios sobre la injusticia?

La Biblia tiene mucho que decir sobre la injusticia. Sabemos que Dios está a favor de la justicia; sabemos que está en contra de la injusticia, incluso en los términos más básicos. El escritor de Proverbios menciona esto: “El SEÑOR detesta los pesos diferentes, y las balanzas deshonestas no le agradan” (Proverbios 20:23). La justicia es fundamental para el trono de Dios (Salmo 89:14), y Dios no aprueba la parcialidad, ya sea que estemos hablando de una balanza ponderada o de un sistema legal injusto (Levítico 19:15). Hay muchos otros versículos, tanto en el Antiguo como en el Nuevo Testamento, que nos dan una idea del disgusto de Dios por la injusticia (2 Crónicas 19: 7; Job 6:29; 11:14; Proverbios 16: 8; Ezequiel 18:24; Romanos 9:14).

Isaías vivió en una época en la que Judá estaba luchando bajo el peso de la injusticia: “La justicia retrocede, / y la justicia se mantiene a distancia; / la verdad ha tropezado en las calles, la honestidad no puede entrar. / La verdad no se encuentra por ninguna parte, / y quien huye del mal se convierte en una presa. / El SEÑOR miró y se enojó / que no había justicia ”(Isaías 59: 14-15). El mensaje de Dios para ellos fue simple: “Aprendan a hacer el bien; buscar justicia. / Defiende a los oprimidos. / Defiende la causa de los huérfanos; Abogo por el caso de la viuda ”(Isaías 1:17). Más tarde, Dios les dice que "suelten las cadenas de la injusticia" (Isaías 58: 6; cf. Salmo 82: 3), lo que indica que la injusticia es una forma de esclavitud y opresión.

En el libro de Santiago, vemos más profundamente en el corazón de Dios con respecto a la injusticia. Dios no es mezquino ni obsesivo. No valora la justicia simplemente por el orden. Hay cuestiones más profundas en juego. En Santiago 2, vemos una discusión sobre la parcialidad. Santiago le habla a un grupo de creyentes que han estado juzgando a las personas en su reunión de acuerdo con su estatus social. En el corazón humano, la injusticia es un signo de parcialidad, crítica y falta de amor. Cuando nos esforzamos por ser justos según nuestras propias medidas humanas, invariablemente olvidamos la medida de Dios: la perfección. Cualquier cosa que no sea la perfección es, para Dios, una balanza desequilibrada.

Todo ser humano es injusto debido a la caída. Hacemos muchas cosas incongruentes. Cometemos errores, soplar frío y calor, hacemos y decimos cosas totalmente contradictorias. Como dice Santiago, “Todos tropezamos de muchas maneras” (Santiago 3: 2). La injusticia impregna nuestras vidas, ya que juzgamos injustamente y mantenemos a los demás en un estándar diferente al que estamos dispuestos a cumplir por nosotros mismos.

La única forma de escapar verdaderamente de la injusticia es aceptar primero que Dios es perfectamente justo y que los humanos son inherentemente injustos, es decir, menos que perfectos, y luego aceptar la justicia de Dios (1 Juan 1: 5-9). Solo cuando ya no nos preocupemos por hacernos justos, podremos confiar en Aquel que justifica al impío (Romanos 4: 5). Entonces, como hijos de Dios, podemos ver claramente para combatir la injusticia que nos rodea con una actitud misericordiosa (Miqueas 6: 8; Santiago 1:27).

Jesús es totalmente justo; no hay injusticia en Él en absoluto. Debido a su perfección, Jesús puede proporcionar verdadera justicia. De hecho, “el Padre a nadie juzga, sino que todo el juicio confió al Hijo” (Juan 5:22). Esperamos con ansias el momento en que la rectitud y la justicia estarán a la orden del día y la injusticia será desterrada para siempre: “De la grandeza de su gobierno y la paz no habrá fin. Él reinará sobre el trono de David y sobre su reino, estableciéndolo y sosteniéndolo con justicia y rectitud desde ese momento y para siempre. El celo del SEÑOR de los ejércitos logrará esto ”(Isaías 9: 7).

To give them. A heart of flesh. It is so sad. Those leaders that you and I. Elected. Is a failure. It has failed. This nation.

What does God’s word say about injustice?

The Bible has a lot to say about injustice. We know that God is in favor of justice; we know that He is against injustice, even in the most basic terms. The writer of Proverbs mentions this: “The LORD detests differing weights, / and dishonest scales do not please him” (Proverbs 20:23). Justice is foundational to God’s throne (Psalm 89:14), and God does not approve of partiality, whether we are talking about a weighted scale or an unjust legal system (Leviticus 19:15). There are many other verses, in both Old and New Testaments, that give us an idea of God’s distaste for injustice (2 Chronicles 19:7; Job 6:29; 11:14; Proverbs 16:8; Ezekiel 18:24; Romans 9:14).

Isaiah lived in a time when Judah was struggling under the weight of injustice: “Justice is driven back, / and righteousness stands at a distance; / truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. / Truth is nowhere to be found, / and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. / The LORD looked and was displeased / that there was no justice” (Isaiah 59:14–15). God’s message for them was simple: “Learn to do right; seek justice. / Defend the oppressed. / Take up the cause of the fatherless; / plead the case of the widow” (Isaiah 1:17). Later, God tells them to “loose the chains of injustice” (Isaiah 58:6; cf. Psalm 82:3), indicating that injustice is a form of bondage and oppression.

In the book of James, we see more deeply into the heart of God regarding injustice. God is not petty or obsessive. He does not value justice simply for the sake of having orderliness. There are deeper issues at stake. In James 2, we see a discussion about partiality. James speaks to a group of believers who have been judging the people in their gathering according to their social status. In the human heart, injustice is a sign of partiality, judgmentalism, and a lack of love. When we strive to be righteous by our own human measurements, we invariably forget God’s measurement: perfection. Anything less than perfection is, to God, a scale out of balance.

Every human is, because of the fall, unjust. We do a lot of incongruent things. We make mistakes, we blow hot and cold, we do and say things that are totally contradictory. As James says, “We all stumble in many ways” (James 3:2). Injustice permeates our lives, as we judge unfairly and hold others to a different standard than we are willing to abide by ourselves.

The only way to truly escape injustice is to first accept that God is perfectly just, and humans are inherently unjust, i.e., less than perfect, and then to accept God’s righteousness (1 John 1:5–9). Only when we are no longer concerned with making ourselves righteous can we trust the One who justifies the ungodly (Romans 4:5). Then, as God’s children, we can see clearly to combat the injustice around us with a merciful attitude (Micah 6:8; James 1:27).

Jesus is totally just; there is no injustice in Him at all. Because of His perfection, Jesus can provide true justice. In fact, “the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22). We look forward to the time when righteousness and justice will be the order of the day and injustice will be banished forever: “Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this” (Isaiah 9:7).

Yes, if. They want us. To be robots. In to just believe. In them hocus pocus science. It is. Funny. How do they speak about the rights? of certain groups. But what about the right? Of all. American people. They have. Thrown out. All our constitutional rights. Directly. Or indirectly. Newt Gingrich: Biden's COVID strategy -- tightly control Americans, no controls for illegal entrants.

What about? Your rights. My rights as an American citizen. To voice my opinion. To have freedom of speech. To have my privacy. To hold on to my religious belief. I Do not want to be forced to take a COVID shot. Do not want to be forced to do anything That goes against the principles of God. What about my rights? What about your rights? Just asking. Do not. Trade your freedom. For the luxury. A feeling superior. And I truly believe that that's what our leaders are doing.

They are feeling superior to you and me. And they want us. To trade. Our freedom. For the luxury of filling. Superior. We are all responsible for our own actions. And then must question. What do we do? Rather than blindly follow a leader. On a path of Destruction to fascism and dictatorship.

We no longer have free feet freedom free speech. We are no longer have free will they try to take away our free will? But they can't do it. cause God is the one that gave us free will.

We're on a road to dictatorship in America. What do you choose to accept that or not? Wake up America. Wake up people in this nation. Do the will of God. Not the will of man. I don't know if any of you have ever seen the 1981 film called a Wave. If you haven't. Take a moment to Google it, YouTube it, or whatever you need to do.

And look at that. The movie is only about maybe 45 minutes to an hour alone. We'll look at what the teacher did in his experiment based on what Hitler did to the German people and look at what's going on in America today. That's just a suggestion. The result of it is so you can have food for thought.

Psalm 91 – Divine Protection 1“I live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.

2 This I declare that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him completely.

3 He rescues me from every trap of those chasing my life and destiny and protects me from deadly diseases.

4 He shields and shelters me with his wings! His truthful promises are my shield.

5 Henceforth, I will never be afraid for the terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day;

6 nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the noonday. 7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil one will not touch me. Premature death will not come close to my household

Psalm 23 – Divine Guidance & Provision “Heavenly Father, I thank You because You are my Shepherd, And because You are my Shepherd, I have everything I need! I am convinced that You are leading me always and will show me the right way, every day. So I know I am safe under Your protective care. LORD, You know where true rest and blessings are found, and You will lead me there day by day. Give me new strength every day and help me do what honors You the most. Enable me to live righteous for Your purpose and cause me to continue to walk in Your ways, as You draw me close to You. Even when I walk through dark valleys and uncertain paths, I will not let fear control me. For I know that as the Good Shepherd,

Dios, dijiste: “Nunca te dejaré; nunca te desampararé. ”-Hebreos 13: 5

Hola Querido Padre Celestial, soy yo, tu hijo Willie

Vengo a ti hoy con una necesidad desesperada. He estado sufriendo y no sé qué hacer. La maldad me ataca en este mundo. Ni siquiera sé qué decir, pero sé que eres mi única esperanza. Este es mi grito de ayuda. Señor, escucha mis clamores.

Me siento abandonado, incomprendido, perdido en un mundo donde no tengo ningún valor. Puse una cara feliz tratando de mantener la concentración; Incluso pido su guía si es su voluntad que yo sea un anciano en la iglesia, sabiendo que tengo muchos problemas y limito el rango de movimiento de las cosas que puedo lograr físicamente.

Siento como si me hubiera alejado mucho de ti, aunque sé que tu Palabra dice que "nunca me dejarás ni me desampararás". (Hebreos 13: 5) Invité a tu hijo Jesús a vivir en mi corazón. Aún así, dejé que los sufrimientos de mis problemas médicos trastorno de estrés postraumático tiempos difíciles de pie y caminando, terrores nocturnos, me asuste o me asuste con facilidad Siempre estoy en guardia ante el peligro, a veces pensé en Comportamiento autodestructivo, me encuentro teniendo problemas para concentrarme Irritabilidad, arrebatos de ira o comportamiento agresivo.

Frustrado al lidiar con la oficina de asuntos de veteranos y el caos en curso, este mundo me desanima. Mi mente ha estado divagando por todos lados, y desearía que la gente se preocupara por los problemas de salud mental en los que nuestros veteranos y socorristas son buenos tanto como se centran en los atletas y las estrellas de cine.

No sé cuánto tiempo más podré lidiar con estas cosas. Quiero sentir tu presencia conmigo. Confiar en ti para dar la respuesta a mis problemas y el antídoto a mi dolor. ¡Señor, por favor ayuda!

Cuando los israelitas te llamaron, enviaste un mensajero de esperanza. Los liberaste de la esclavitud que los mantuvo atados durante tanto tiempo. De la misma manera, confío en ti para rescatarme de mis angustias.

Renuevo mi confianza en ti mientras guías los caminos de mi vida. Gracias, Señor, por escuchar mi grito de ayuda y por preocuparte por mí.

En el nombre de Jesús, mi Señor y Salvador, Amén.

God, you said, “I'll never leave you; I will never forsake you. ”-Hebrews 13: 5

Hello Dear Heavenly Father, it is me, your son Willie

I come to you today in desperate need. I've been suffering, and I don't know what to do. Evil attacks me in this world. I don't even know what to say, but I know that you're my only hope. This is my cry for help. Lord, hear my cries.

I feel abandoned, misunderstood, lost in a world where I have no value. I put on a happy face trying to stay focused; I even ask for your guidance if it is your will for me to be an elder in the church, knowing that I have many problems and limit the range of motion of things that I can physically accomplish.

I feel as if I have strayed too far from you, even though I know your Word says that "you will never leave me or forsake me." (Hebrews 13: 5) I invited your son Jesus to live in my heart. Still, I let the sufferings of my medical problems, PTSD, hard times standing and walking, night terrors scare me off or scare me easily. I am always on guard against danger; sometimes, I thought of Self-destructive behavior, I find myself having trouble concentrating, irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior.

Frustrated dealing with the veteran's affairs office and the ongoing chaos, this world turns me off. My mind has been wandering all over the place, and I wish people were concerned about the mental health issues our veterans and first responders are good at as much as they focus on athletes and movie stars.

I don't know how much longer I can deal with these things. I want to feel your presence with me. Trust you to give the answer to my problems and the antidote to my pain. Lord, please help! When the Israelites called you, you sent a messenger of hope. You freed them from the bondage that kept them bound for so long. In the same way, I trust you to rescue me from my heartaches.

I renew my trust in you as you guide the paths of my life. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my cry for help and for caring about me.

In the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, Amen.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to this brief podcast!

Like you, I have felt the challenges over the past 16 months or so as we continue to navigate "waters" we have never navigated before. Yet, GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, AND ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!

While so many of the news headlines are discouraging and depressing to read or listen to, I'm reminded of the fact that people still enjoy some good news! I believe we have the best news ever to share, and that is that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.

We recognize that people still maybe not going back to church in "droves", but we need to know that people need Jesus more than ever before! The message of the media is "all over the map" so to speak, but the Word of God remains the same! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!

I’m praying for a harvest of souls. People hungry for a move of the Holy Spirit to the point they will give up on their constant efforts to find peace in anything or anyone other than Jesus. He is still the answer for the WORLD today! And we need Him now. Pray that these politicians will wake up to the chaos they help cause and surrender to Jesus, pray that God will turn their hearts of stone into a heart of flesh.

Have a blessed day and remember Faith over fear As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:10 KJV

No dejes que el maligno te destruya. No hacer. Que el maligno te destruyó. Quiero decir, tengo que ser honesto. Que he pensado en comprobarlo. Cena. El Señor nos envió ángeles a mí. Básicamente, decir que esa sería una solución permanente. A un problema temporal. Jesús nos enseñó a orar. No nos dejes caer en la tentación. Y eso es exactamente lo que el. El maligno quiere. Así que no dejes que el maligno te destruya. Pregunta: "¿Por qué Jesús nos instruyó a orar" no nos dejes caer en la tentación "?"

Respuesta: Sabemos por Santiago 1:13 que Dios no nos tienta a pecar. Si Dios nos tentara a pecar, estaría actuando en contra de Su naturaleza santa, en contra de Su deseo de que seamos santos como Él es santo (1 Pedro 1:16), y en contra de todos los demás mandamientos de las Escrituras que nos dicen que evitemos. peca y huye de la tentación. En la oración modelo del Señor (Mateo 6: 9-13), Jesús dice: "No nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del maligno" (versículo 13). La inclusión de una petición a Dios para que no nos lleve a la tentación nos enseña que evitar la tentación debe ser una de las principales preocupaciones de la vida cristiana.

La idea de Dios dirigiendo a su pueblo es un tema principal de las Escrituras. El libro de los Salmos especialmente está lleno de ruegos para que Dios nos guíe en Sus caminos (Salmo 5: 8; 27:11), por Su verdad y justicia, y en “el camino eterno” (Salmo 139: 24). Además de guiarnos hacia el bien, entendemos que le estamos pidiendo a Dios que nos aleje del mal. La petición en el Padre Nuestro de no caer en la tentación refleja el deseo del creyente de evitar por completo los peligros del pecado. Esta frase, entonces, debe entenderse en el sentido de "permitir". Jesús nos enseñó a orar: "No nos" permitas ", ni nos" permitas ", ser tentados a pecar". Esta petición implica que Dios tiene tal control sobre el tentador que nos salvará de su poder si invocamos a nuestro Padre Celestial.

Hay otro sentido en el que debemos rogarle a Dios que no nos lleve a la tentación. La palabra tentación también puede referirse a pruebas. Sabemos por 1 Corintios 10:13 que Dios no nos probará más allá de nuestra capacidad en Cristo para soportarlo y siempre proporcionará una salida. Pero Dios a veces nos somete a pruebas que pueden exponernos a los ataques de Satanás para sus propios propósitos, como en los casos de Job y Pedro (Lucas 22: 31-32). Si la tentación en el Padre Nuestro se refiere a pruebas, entonces el significado de Mateo 6:13 es: "No nos aflijas ni nos pruebes". No está mal orar para que podamos ser liberados de las pruebas y el sufrimiento, siempre y cuando nos sometamos a la voluntad de Dios, sin importar cuál sea. El creyente puede pedir con razón ser liberado de la prueba, así como también pedir la fuerza para soportarla si llega.

Podríamos ilustrar las palabras de Jesús "No nos dejes caer en la tentación" de esta manera: una madre lleva a sus hijos pequeños a hacer la compra y llega al pasillo de los dulces. Ella sabe que llevar a sus hijos por ese pasillo solo provocará codicia en sus corazones y provocará episodios de lloriqueos y pucheros. Con sabiduría, toma otro camino: cualquier cosa que haya necesitado en el pasillo de los dulces tendrá que esperar otro día. De esta manera, la madre evita los disgustos y les ahorra a sus hijos una prueba. Orar, "No nos dejes caer en la tentación", es como orar, "Dios, no me lleves por el pasillo de los dulces hoy". Es reconocer que naturalmente nos aferramos a las cosas que no son rentables y que la sabiduría de Dios puede evitar lo desagradable de nuestras quejas.

Ya sea que le pidamos a Dios que nos aleje del pecado o de las pruebas difíciles, nuestra meta se encuentra en la segunda parte del versículo 13: “Líbranos del maligno”. David ofrece una petición similar a esta en el Salmo 141: 4: “No dejes que mi corazón se sienta atraído por la maldad, para que participe en las malas acciones junto con los que son malvados; no me dejes comer sus manjares ". En todas las cosas, Dios es nuestro libertador, y somos sabios al buscar su poder sobre el pecado.

Do not let the evil one destroy you. Do not. That the evil one destroyed you. I mean, I've got to be honest. That I've thought about checking out. Dinner. Lord sent us angels to me. Basically, saying that that would be a permanent solution. To a temporary problem. Jesus taught us to pray. Do not lead us into temptation. And that's exactly what the. Evil War once attracted to. So do not let the evil one destroy you.

Question: "Why did Jesus instruct us to pray “lead us not into temptation”?"

Answer: We know from James 1:13 that God does not tempt us to sin. If God did tempt us to sin, He would be acting contrary to His holy nature, against His desire for us to be holy as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16), and against all other commandments in Scripture that tell us to avoid sin and flee temptation. In the Lord’s model prayer (Matthew 6:9–13), Jesus says, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (verse 13). The inclusion of a request for God not to lead us into temptation teaches us that avoiding temptation should be one of the primary concerns of the Christian life.

The idea of God leading His people is a main theme of Scripture. The book of Psalms especially is filled with pleas for God to lead us in His ways (Psalm 5:8; 27:11), by His truth and righteousness, and in “the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:24). Along with leading us toward good, we understand that we are asking God to lead us away from evil. The petition in the Lord’s Prayer not to be led into temptation reflects the believer’s desire to avoid the dangers of sin altogether. This phrase, then, must be understood in the sense of “permitting.” Jesus taught us to pray, “Do not ‘allow’ us, or ‘permit’ us, to be tempted to sin.” This request implies that God has such control over the tempter as to save us from his power if we call upon our Heavenly Father.

There is another sense in which we are to plead with God not to lead us into temptation. The word temptation can also refer to trials. We know from 1 Corinthians 10:13 that God will not test us beyond our ability in Christ to bear it and will always provide a way out. But God sometimes subjects us to trials that may expose us to Satan’s assaults for His own purposes, as in the cases of Job and Peter (Luke 22:31–32). If the temptation in the Lord’s Prayer refers to trials, then the meaning of Matthew 6:13 is, “Do not afflict or try us.” It is not wrong to pray that we may be delivered from trials and suffering, as long as we submit ourselves to the will of God, no matter what it is. The believer can rightly ask to be delivered from testing as well as ask for the strength to endure it if it does come.

We might illustrate Jesus’ words “Lead us not into temptation” like this: a mother takes her young children grocery shopping with her and comes to the candy aisle. She knows that taking her children down that aisle will only stir up greediness in their hearts and lead to bouts of whining and pouting. In wisdom, she takes another route—whatever she may have needed down the candy aisle will have to wait for another day. In this way the mother averts unpleasantness and spares her children a trial. Praying, “Lead us not into temptation,” is like praying, “God, don’t take me down the candy aisle today.” It’s recognizing that we naturally grasp for unprofitable things and that God’s wisdom can avert the unpleasantness of our bellyaching.

Whether we are asking for God to lead us away from sin or from difficult trials, our goal is found in the second part of verse 13: “Deliver us from the evil one.” A petition similar to this is offered by David in Psalm 141:4: “Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.” In all things, God is our deliverer, and we are wise to seek His power over sin.

Si un padre terrenal que enfrenta un gran obstáculo está ansioso por ayudar a su hijo, piense cuánto más nuestro Padre celestial está preocupado por Sus hijos.

En el Antiguo Testamento, Moisés recordó cómo Dios llevó a su pueblo incluso cuando experimentaron el peligro de una fe vacilante. Les recordó a los israelitas cómo Dios los había librado, proporcionando comida y agua en el desierto, luchando contra sus enemigos y guiando a los israelitas con columnas de nube y fuego. Al meditar en las muchas formas en que Dios actuó a favor de ellos, Moisés dijo: “Allí viste cómo te llevó el Señor tu Dios, como un padre lleva a su hijo” (Deuteronomio 1:31).

Algunas heridas no siempre son visibles; sin embargo, soy verdaderamente bendecido: (soy simplemente un don nadie tratando de decirle a todo el mundo acerca de alguien que puede salvar a alguien… ¿lo conoces… su nombre es JESÚS?)

Scripture Reading Exodus 23:21-22 (NIV) Psalm 91:1

If an earthly father facing a great obstacle is eager to help his son, think of how much more our heavenly Father is concerned about His children.

In the Old Testament, Moses recalled how God carried His people even as they experienced the danger of faltering faith. He reminded the Israelites of how God had delivered them, providing food and water in the desert, fighting against their enemies, and guiding the Israelites with pillars of cloud and fire. Meditating on the many ways God acted on their behalf, Moses said, “There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son” (Deuteronomy 1:31).

Some wounds are not always visible; however, I am Truly Blessed: (I am just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody that can save anybody ….do you know him …his name is JESUS)

The Joy I have the world did not give it to me……And the world cannot take it away. Have a God-day God is good all the time…and all the time God is good

Scripture Reading

Psalm 51:12 (NIV)

Psalm 23:2-3 (NIV)

"What is the way of salvation?"

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” + 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Are you hungry? Not physically hungry, but do you have a hunger for something more in life? Is there something deep inside of you that never seems to be satisfied? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty” (John 6:35). The helmet of salvation is a metaphor for protecting the mind. The Apostle Paul wants us to guard our thoughts. If the devil can tamper with our thoughts, he can meddle with our lives. How we perceive Christ, and His teachings affect all of life. Mercy and truth meet together, & righteousness and peace embrace - in the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose in life? Does it seem like someone has turned out the lights and you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Do you ever feel like you are locked out of life? Have you tried so many doors, only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking for an entrance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture” (John 10:9).

Do other people always let you down? Have your relationships been shallow and empty? Does it seem like everyone is trying to take advantage of you? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John 10:11, 14).

Do you wonder what happens after this life? Are you tired of living your life for things that only rot or rust? Do you sometimes doubt whether life has any meaning? Do you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25-26).

What is the way? What is the truth? What is the life? Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” (John 14:6).

The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger and can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can lift the darkness. Jesus is the door to a satisfying life. Jesus is the friend and shepherd that you have been looking for. Jesus is the life—in this world and the next. Jesus is the way of salvation!

The reason you feel hungry, the reason you seem to be lost in darkness, the reason you cannot find meaning in life, is that you are separated from God. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and are therefore separated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23). The void you feel in your heart is God missing from your life. We were created to have a relationship with God. Because of our sin, we are separated from that relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for all of eternity, in this life and the next (Romans 6:23; John 3:36).

How can this problem be solved? Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die—a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Padre, en el nombre de Jesús, te pido que me devuelvas el gozo de tu salvación y me des un espíritu dispuesto para sostenerme. Señor, te doy gracias por restaurar mi alma. Eres fiel y me devolverás los años que comió la langosta…. Libero todo resentimiento y dolor por pérdidas pasadas, comeré en abundancia y quedaré satisfecho. Alabo el nombre del Señor mi Dios, que me ha obrado maravillosamente, y nunca seré avergonzado. Tú eres el Señor mi Dios. amén

Lectura de las escrituras Salmo 51:12 (NVI) Salmo 23: 2-3 (NVI)

"¿Cuál es el camino de la salvación?"

¿Tienes hambre? No físicamente hambriento, pero ¿tienes hambre de algo más en la vida? ¿Hay algo en lo profundo de ti que nunca parece estar satisfecho? Si es así, ¡Jesús es el camino! Jesús dijo: “Yo soy el pan de vida. El que a mí viene, nunca tendrá hambre, y el que en mí cree, nunca tendrá sed ”(Juan 6:35). El casco de la salvación es una metáfora para proteger la mente. El apóstol Pablo quiere que cuidemos nuestros pensamientos. Si el diablo puede alterar nuestros pensamientos, puede entrometerse en nuestras vidas. La forma en que percibimos a Cristo y sus enseñanzas afectan toda la vida. La misericordia y la verdad se unen, y la justicia y la paz se abrazan, en la Cruz de Jesucristo.

¿Estas confundido? ¿Parece que nunca encuentras un camino o un propósito en la vida? ¿Parece que alguien ha apagado las luces y no puede encontrar el interruptor? Si es así, ¡Jesús es el camino de la salvación! Jesús proclamó: “Yo soy la luz del mundo. El que me sigue, no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida ”(Juan 8:12).

¿Alguna vez te has sentido excluido de la vida? ¿Has probado tantas puertas, solo para descubrir que lo que hay detrás de ellas está vacío y sin sentido? ¿Está buscando una entrada a una vida plena? Si es así, ¡Jesús es el camino de la salvación! Jesús declaró: “Yo soy la puerta; el que entre por mí, se salvará. Entrará y saldrá, y encontrará pastos ”(Juan 10: 9).

¿Otras personas siempre te defraudan? ¿Tus relaciones han sido superficiales y vacías? ¿Parece que todo el mundo está tratando de aprovecharse de ti? Si es así, ¡Jesús es el camino! Jesús dijo: “Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen pastor da su vida por las ovejas. Soy el buen pastor; Yo conozco mis ovejas y mis ovejas me conocen a mí ”(Juan 10:11, 14).

¿Te preguntas qué pasa después de esta vida? ¿Estás cansado de vivir tu vida por cosas que solo se pudren u oxidan? ¿Dudas a veces de que la vida tenga algún sentido? ¿Quieres vivir después de tu muerte? Si es así, ¡Jesús es el camino de la salvación! Jesús declaró: “Yo soy la resurrección y la vida. El que cree en mí, aunque muera, vivirá; y todo el que vive y cree en mí, no morirá jamás ”(Juan 11: 25-26).

¿Cuál es la manera? ¿Cuál es la verdad? ¿Qué es la vida? Jesús respondió: “Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al padre sino por mí ”(Juan 14: 6).

El hambre que sientes es un hambre espiritual y solo Jesús puede llenarla. Jesús es el único que puede levantar la oscuridad. Jesús es la puerta a una vida satisfactoria. Jesús es el amigo y pastor que estabas buscando. Jesús es la vida, en este mundo y en el próximo. ¡Jesús es el camino de la salvación!

La razón por la que siente hambre, la razón por la que parece estar perdido en la oscuridad, la razón por la que no puede encontrar sentido a la vida, es que está separado de Dios. La Biblia nos dice que todos hemos pecado y, por lo tanto, estamos separados de Dios (Eclesiastés 7:20; Romanos 3:23). El vacío que sientes en tu corazón es que Dios falta en tu vida. Fuimos creados para tener una relación con Dios. Debido a nuestro pecado, estamos separados de esa relación. Peor aún, nuestro pecado hará que estemos separados de Dios por toda la eternidad, en esta vida y en la próxima (Romanos 6:23; Juan 3:36).

¿Cómo se puede solucionar este problema? ¡Jesús es el camino de la salvación! Jesús tomó nuestro pecado sobre sí mismo (2 Corintios 5:21). Jesús murió en nuestro lugar (Romanos 5: 8), recibiendo el castigo que merecemos. Tres días después, Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos, demostrando su victoria sobre el pecado y la muerte (Romanos 6: 4-5). ¿Por qué lo hizo? Jesús mismo respondió a esa pregunta: “Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que ponga su vida por sus amigos” (Juan 15:13). Jesús murió para que pudiéramos vivir. Si ponemos nuestra fe en Jesús, confiando en su muerte como pago por nuestros pecados, todos nuestros pecados son perdonados y lavados. Entonces tendremos satisfecha nuestra hambre espiritual. Las luces se encenderán. Tendremos acceso a una vida plena. Conoceremos a nuestro verdadero mejor amigo y buen pastor. Sabremos que tendremos vida después de la muerte, ¡una vida resucitada en el cielo por la eternidad con Jesús!

“Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo que dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna” (Juan 3:16).

¿Ha tomado una decisión por Cristo debido a lo que ha escuchado hoy aquí? Si es así, visite una iglesia local o únase a mí en Trinity Lutheran Church and Escuela Franktown Colorado Ahora el Dios de esperanza os llene de todo gozo y paz en la fe, para que abundéis en esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Romanos 15:13

MIS HIJOS LUCHAN CON SATANÁS

Para aquellos de ustedes que no creen que la guerra espiritual sea real.

De hecho, es real, hoy tuve una experiencia aterradora: mi hijo tuvo un ataque que salió de la nada.

En el proceso de esa convulsión, fue muy combativo, muy discutidor, muy vulgar en su lenguaje. Pero cuando le dije a Satanás que mi hijo lo resistirá y lo resistirá en el nombre de Jesucristo, su voz cambió, sus ojos parecían inyectados en sangre y estoy seguro de que no estaba alucinando cada vez que gritaba el nombre de Jesús y Dios por fuerza para que Willie resistiera a Satanás Willie se puso aún más agresivo, ¿me pateaba y mordía?

Zacarías 3: 2 nos dice que es el Señor quien reprende a Satanás. Incluso Miguel, uno de los ángeles más poderosos, no se atrevió a acusar a Satanás, sino que dijo: "El Señor te reprenda" (Judas 1: 9). En respuesta a los ataques de Satanás, un cristiano debe apelar a Cristo. En lugar de enfocarnos en derrotar al diablo, debemos enfocarnos en seguir a Cristo (Hebreos 12: 2) y confiar en que Él derrotará a las fuerzas del mal.

Quiero que los cristianos entiendan; No es necesario que un cristiano reprenda a Satanás porque Dios nos ha dado Su armadura completa para enfrentar el mal (ver Efesios 6: 10-18).

Las armas más efectivas que tenemos contra el diablo son nuestra fe, sabiduría y conocimiento acerca de Dios y Su Palabra.

Cristo, cuando fue tentado por Satanás, le respondió con las Escrituras (ver Mateo 4: 1-11). Para obtener la victoria en asuntos espirituales, debemos mantener la conciencia tranquila y tener control sobre nuestros pensamientos. "Porque aunque vivimos en el mundo, no hacemos la guerra como lo hace el mundo.

Las armas con las que luchamos no son las armas del mundo. Por el contrario, tienen poder divino para demoler fortalezas. Derribamos argumentos y toda pretensión que se oponga al conocimiento de Dios, y llevamos cautivo todo pensamiento para hacerlo obediente a Cristo ".

(2 Corintios 10: 3-5).

Solo estoy agradecido de estar cerca y cuando llegué al hospital, él todavía estaba combativo maldiciendo a todas las enfermeras y el personal de seguridad fue testigo de todas sus patadas y gritos que también, por lo que decidieron llamar al 911 cuando llegó la policía. Fueron combativos tres policías para que lo sacaran del auto.

entonces en ese momento incluso estaban luchando con él para sacarlo del auto y él los estaba maldiciendo además de insultarlos, pero por la gracia de Dios, sé que cuando se trata de una situación médica como esta, un asistente médico por la policía que no podrían arrestarlo porque era una situación médica, pero sí anotaron un número de caso o un archivo de caso en caso de que alguna vez sea necesario para mí.

Normalmente llevo aceite bendito en mi coche hoy. No lo hice. pero creo que fue una llamada de atención para mí para tener siempre un aceite bendito en mi auto.

pero estoy agradecido de haber tenido un ángel de la guarda conmigo, y tuve una multitud de ángeles a mi alrededor, y la sangre de Jesucristo sobre mí.

porque agarró el volante y no pude girar mi vehículo por la fuerza con que lo sostenía y él estaba sosteniendo el volante con una sola mano y yo estaba usando las dos manos tratando de girar el auto y créanme que yo ' no soy pequeña, no soy una persona pequeña.

Estaba haciendo todo lo posible por mantener la calma. y agradezco a Dios que pude lograr que soltara ese volante cuando comencé a descansar diciendo esto y Satanás, eres un mentiroso, no puedes tenerlo.

y pudimos llegar al hospital sanos y salvos. Mi mayor preocupación era mi trastorno de estrés postraumático que se activaría. No voy a mentirle a nadie. Le estaba dando gracias a Dios porque mi TEPT no se activó.

porque honestamente, no sé lo que hubiera hecho.

Debido a ese ataque que tuvo hoy, ¿qué da miedo? Solo quería que la gente supiera que si escuchas la palabra de Dios, verás demonios y la guerra espiritual es real.

pero debemos resistir a Satanás a través de Jesucristo:

¡Resistid al diablo, y huirá de vosotros!" Santiago 4: 7.

“Y el Dios de paz aplastará a Satanás bajo tus pies en breve. La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con ustedes. Amén." Romanos 16:20.

Claramente, Dios le ha permitido a Satanás cantidades significativas de poder e influencia sobre la tierra, al menos por ahora, y siempre bajo el control soberano de Dios. La Biblia nos dice que Satanás merodea como un león en busca de presas, buscando víctimas para devorar (1 Pedro 5: 8).

Satanás es el poder que obra en los corazones de aquellos que se niegan a obedecer a Dios (Efesios 2: 2).

Cualquiera que no esté bajo el control del Dios soberano, está bajo el control del diablo (Hechos 26:18; 2 Corintios 4: 4). Los cristianos nacidos de nuevo ya no están esclavizados por Satanás o por el pecado (Romanos 6: 6-7), pero esto no significa que no seamos inmunes a las tentaciones que él pone ante nosotros.

Los demonios son ángeles caídos, como indica Apocalipsis 12: 9: “El gran dragón fue arrojado, esa serpiente antigua llamada diablo, o Satanás, que extravía al mundo entero. Fue arrojado a la tierra, y sus ángeles con él ". La caída de Satanás del cielo es un símboloicamente descrito en Isaías 14: 12-15 y Ezequiel 28: 12-15. Cuando cayó, Satanás se llevó consigo a algunos de los ángeles, un tercio de ellos, según Apocalipsis 12: 4. Judas 6 también menciona a los ángeles que pecaron. Entonces, bíblicamente, los demonios son ángeles caídos que, junto con Satanás, eligieron rebelarse contra Dios.

Algunos de los demonios ya están encerrados “en tinieblas, atados con cadenas eternas” (Judas 1: 6) por su pecado. Otros son libres de vagar y se les conoce como “los poderes de este mundo oscuro y. . . las fuerzas espirituales del mal en los reinos celestiales ”en Efesios 6:12 (cf. Colosenses 2:15). Los demonios todavía siguen a Satanás como su líder y luchan con los santos ángeles en un intento de frustrar el plan de Dios y obstaculizar al pueblo de Dios (Daniel 10:13).

Los demonios, como seres espirituales, tienen la capacidad de tomar posesión de un cuerpo físico. La posesión demoníaca ocurre cuando el cuerpo de una persona está completamente controlado por un demonio. Esto no puede sucederle a un hijo de Dios, ya que el Espíritu Santo reside en el corazón del creyente en Cristo (1 Juan 4: 4).

Jesús, durante su ministerio terrenal, se encontró con muchos demonios. Por supuesto, ninguno de ellos era rival para el poder de Cristo: “Muchos endemoniados le fueron traídos, y él expulsó los espíritus con una palabra” (Mateo 8:16). La autoridad de Jesús sobre los demonios fue una de las pruebas de que en verdad era el Hijo de Dios (Lucas 11:20). Los demonios que se encontraron con Jesús sabían quién era Él y le temían: "¿Qué quieres de nosotros, Hijo de Dios?", Gritaban [los demonios]. '¿Has venido aquí para torturarnos antes del tiempo señalado?' ”(Mateo 8:29). Los demonios saben que su fin será de tormento.

Satanás y sus demonios ahora buscan destruir la obra de Dios y engañar a todo el que puedan (1 Pedro 5: 8; 2 Corintios 11: 14-15). Los demonios se describen como espíritus malignos (Mateo 10: 1), espíritus inmundos (Marcos 1:27), espíritus mentirosos (1 Reyes 22:23) y ángeles de Satanás (Apocalipsis 12: 9). Satanás y sus demonios engañan al mundo (2 Corintios 4: 4), promulgan doctrinas falsas (1 Timoteo 4: 1), atacan a los cristianos (2 Corintios 12: 7; 1 Pedro 5: 8) y combaten a los santos ángeles (Apocalipsis 12). : 4-9).

Los demonios / ángeles caídos son enemigos de Dios, pero son enemigos derrotados. Cristo ha "desarmado los poderes y autoridades", y ha "hecho de ellos un espectáculo público, triunfando sobre ellos en la cruz" (Colosenses 2:15). Al someternos a Dios y resistir al diablo, no tenemos nada que temer. “El que está en ti es mayor que el que está en el mundo” (1 Juan 4: 4).

Por favor, mantenga a Willie Leon Ayers en sus oraciones.

MY SONS FIGHT WITH SATAN

For those of you who do not believe that spiritual warfare is real. It is indeed for real, today I had a frightening experience my son had a seizure that came out of nowhere.

In the process of that seizure, he was very combative very argumentative very vulgar in his language. But when I told Satan my son will resist him and resists him in the name of Jesus Christ, his voice changed his eyes appear to be bloodshot and I am certain I was not hallucinating every time I called out on the name of Jesus and God for strength for Willie to resist Satan Willie got even more aggressive, he was kicking and biting me?

Zechariah 3:2 tells us that it is the Lord who rebukes Satan. Even Michael, one of the most powerful of the angels, did not dare to accuse Satan, but rather said, "The Lord rebuke you" (Jude 1:9). In response to Satan’s attacks, a Christian should appeal to Christ. Instead of focusing on defeating the devil, we should focus on following Christ (Hebrews 12:2) and trust that He will defeat the forces of evil.

I want Christians to understand; It is not necessary for a Christian to rebuke Satan because God has given us His full armor to stand against evil (see Ephesians 6:10-18).

The most effective weapons we have against the devil are our faith, wisdom, and knowledge about God and His Word.

Christ, when tempted by Satan, answered him with Scripture (see Matthew 4:1-11). To gain victory in spiritual matters, we must maintain a clear conscience and have control over our thoughts. "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

I am just thankful that I was nearby a when I got to the hospital, he was still combative cursing all nurses and security personnel witness all his kicking and screaming that as well, so they decide to call 911 in the police arrived he was still being combative it took three police officers you get him out the car.

then at that time they were even struggling with him to get him out of the car and he was cursing them as well calling them names, but by the grace of God, I do know that when it's a medical situation such as this a medical assistant by the police that they would not able to arrest him because it was a medical situation but they did write down a case number or a case File in case it is ever needed if for me.

I normally carry blessed oil in my car today I did not. but I think that was a wake-up call for me to always have a blessed oil in my car. but I'm thankful that I had a guardian angel with me, and I had a multitude of angels around me, And the blood of Jesus Christ upon me. because he grabbed the steering wheel and I was not able to turn my vehicle because of how hard he was holding it and he was holding the steering wheel with only one hand and I was using two hands trying to turn the car and believe me I'm not small I'm not a small person.

I was doing my best to be calm. and I thank God that I was able to get him to release that steering wheel when I started resiting saying this and Satan you are a liar you cannot have him.

and we were able to get to the hospital safely. My major concern was my PTSD that it would kick in. I am not going to lie to anyone. I was thanking God that my PTSD did not get triggered.

because honestly, I do not know what I would have done.

because of that seizure that he had today what is scary did I just want people to know that if you pick up the word of God you will see demons and spiritual warfare is real.

but we are to resist Satan through Jesus Christ:

Resist the devil and he will flee from you!” James 4:7.

“And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20.

Clearly, God has allowed Satan significant amounts of power and influence over the earth, at least for now, and always within God’s sovereign control. The Bible tells us that Satan prowls around like a lion in search of prey, looking for victims to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

Satan is the power at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God (Ephesians 2:2).

Anyone who is not under the control of the sovereign God is under the control of the devil (Acts 26:18; 2 Corinthians 4:4). Born-again Christians are no longer enslaved to Satan or to sin (Romans 6:6-7), but this does not mean we are not immune to the temptations that he puts before us.

Demons are fallen angels, as Revelation 12:9 indicates: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” Satan’s fall from heaven is symbolically described in Isaiah 14:12–15 and Ezekiel 28:12–15. When he fell, Satan took some of the angels with him—one-third of them, according to Revelation 12:4. Jude 6 also mentions angels who sinned. So, biblically, demons are fallen angels who, along with Satan, chose to rebel against God.

Some of the demons are already locked “in darkness, bound with everlasting chains” (Jude 1:6) for their sin. Others are free to roam and are referred to as “the powers of this dark world and . . . the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” in Ephesians 6:12 (cf. Colossians 2:15). The demons still follow Satan as their leader and do battle with the holy angels in an attempt to thwart God’s plan and hinder God’s people (Daniel 10:13).

Demons, as spirit beings, have the ability to take possession of a physical body. Demonic possession occurs when a person’s body is completely controlled by a demon. This cannot happen to a child of God, since the Holy Spirit resides in the heart of the believer in Christ (1 John 4:4).

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, encountered many demons. Of course, none of them were a match for the power of Christ: “Many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word” (Matthew 8:16). Jesus’ authority over the demons was one of the proofs that He was indeed the Son of God (Luke 11:20). The demons who encountered Jesus knew who He was, and they feared Him: “‘What do you want with us, Son of God?’ [the demons] shouted. ‘Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?’” (Matthew 8:29). The demons know their end will be one of torment.

Satan and his demons now look to destroy the work of God and deceive anyone they can (1 Peter 5:8; 2 Corinthians 11:14–15). The demons are described as evil spirits (Matthew 10:1), unclean spirits (Mark 1:27), lying spirits (1 Kings 22:23), and angels of Satan (Revelation 12:9). Satan and his demons deceive the world (2 Corinthians 4:4), promulgate false doctrine (1 Timothy 4:1), attack Christians (2 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 5:8), and combat the holy angels (Revelation 12:4–9).

The demons/fallen angels are enemies of God, but they are defeated, enemies. Christ has “disarmed the powers and authorities,” and He has “made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” (Colossians 2:15). As we submit to God and resist the devil, we have nothing to fear. “The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Please keep Willie Leon Ayers in your prayers.

Lo primero que hay que entender es que solo hay una raza: la raza humana. Sí, todos vamos a tener nuestros puntos de vista y opiniones, como nuestro trasero todos tenemos uno.

son diferentes etnias de la raza humana. Todos los seres humanos tienen las mismas características físicas (con pequeñas variaciones, por supuesto). Más importante aún, todos los seres humanos son creados igualmente a imagen y semejanza de Dios (Génesis 1: 26-27). Dios amó tanto al mundo que envió a Jesús a dar su vida por nosotros (Juan 3:16). El "mundo" obviamente incluye a todos los grupos étnicos.

El racismo, en diversas formas y en diversos grados, ha sido una plaga para la humanidad durante miles de años. Hermanos y hermanas de todas las etnias, esto no debería ser así.

La teoría crítica de la raza es un enfoque moderno del cambio social, desarrollado a partir de la teoría crítica más amplia, que se desarrolló a partir del marxismo. El marxismo es, en el fondo, una filosofía atea sin lugar para creer en Dios. El propio Karl Marx fue claro en este punto:

“La teoría crítica de la raza (CRT) aborda temas como la justicia, el racismo y la desigualdad, con la intención específica de reformar o remodelar la sociedad. En la práctica, esto se aplica casi exclusivamente a los Estados Unidos. La teoría crítica de la raza se basa en varios supuestos clave.

En resumen, la teoría crítica de la raza presupone que todo lo relacionado con la sociedad estadounidense es completamente racista, y los grupos minoritarios nunca serán iguales hasta que la sociedad estadounidense esté completamente reformada. Esta posición es extremadamente controvertida, incluso en círculos seculares.

La teoría crítica de la raza se plantea a menudo como una solución a la supremacía blanca o al nacionalismo blanco. Sin embargo, debemos mirar a BLM, si esta no es una forma de supremacía negra, las grandes corporaciones y los deportes de las grandes ligas apoyan Black Lives Matter, una organización liderada por marxistas que ha contribuido a gran parte del caos callejero en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, la CRT en la práctica no hace más que invertir a los grupos oprimidos y opresores.

Miremos esto desde un punto de vista político, la teoría crítica de la raza se alinea estrechamente con conceptos como el comunismo, el marxismo, el nacionalismo, el progresismo, la interseccionalidad y la versión moderna de la justicia social.

Sin embargo, yo, como hijo de Dios, estoy obligado a rechazar cualquier aspecto de una filosofía que entre en conflicto con los ideales bíblicos. La teoría crítica de la raza está profundamente arraigada en visiones del mundo que son totalmente incompatibles con la Biblia.

Sí, algunos grupos cristianos han adoptado el enfoque moderno de la justicia social. Esto plantea la preocupación de que las preferencias no bíblicas desplazarán los mandatos legítimos de las Escrituras. Si bien la teoría crítica de la raza no es idéntica a la justicia social, las dos filosofías están intrincadamente vinculadas en la cultura estadounidense moderna. Las organizaciones cristianas que hablan de justicia social deben ser cautelosas con los términos y suposiciones que implican esas discusiones.

En la medida en que se aplique a la fe, el cristianismo o la espiritualidad, no hay verdad alguna en la teoría crítica de la raza. Esto no quiere decir que los cristianos autodenominados nunca hayan perpetrado el racismo. Tampoco significa que todo cristiano en Estados Unidos sea inocente de pasar por alto a las personas que sufren. Ciertamente no significa que los creyentes en los Estados Unidos no tengan necesidad de autoexaminarse o buscar un cambio.

Sin embargo, la teoría crítica de la raza viola por completo una cosmovisión bíblica al sugerir que las personas se definen esencialmente por su raza o clase, en lugar de por sus actos y actitudes individuales (Jeremías 31: 31-34; Apocalipsis 20: 11-13).

La teoría crítica de la raza enfatiza incorrectamente categorías interseccionales como género, raza, preferencia sexual y estatus económico más allá de las propias decisiones y responsabilidades de una persona (Gálatas 3:28). La teoría crítica de la raza también entra en conflicto con un enfoque bíblico de la verdad objetiva y absoluta. En gran parte, esto incluye sugerir que los sentimientos de una persona "oprimida" importan más que lo que el "opresor" haya hecho o intentado (1 Corintios 4: 4; 10:29).

Aplicada a los asuntos espirituales, la teoría crítica de la raza reemplaza efectivamente una relación individual y personal con Dios por un sistema colectivista, etnocéntrico y tribal. También enfatiza demasiado los conceptos materiales y sociales en detrimento, o incluso la exclusión, del verdadero evangelio. Cuando y donde se encuentran prejuicios en la iglesia, deben abordarse de acuerdo con la sana doctrina, no de acuerdo con un enfoque intrínsecamente antibíblico como la teoría crítica de la raza.

The first thing to understand is that there is only one race—the human race. Yes, all of us are going to have our views and opinions, like our butt we all got one. they are different ethnicities of the human race. All human beings have the same physical characteristics (with minor variations, of course). More importantly, all human beings are equally created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God loved the world so much that He sent Jesus to lay down His life for us (John 3:16). The “world” obviously includes all ethnic groups. Racism, in varying forms and to various degrees, has been a plague on humanity for thousands of years. Brothers and sisters of all ethnicities, this should not be. Critical race theory is a modern approach to social change, developed from the broader critical theory, which developed out of Marxism. Marxism is, at heart, an atheistic philosophy with no room for belief in God. Karl Marx himself was clear on this point: “Critical race theory (CRT) approaches issues such as justice, racism, and inequality, with the specific intent of reforming or reshaping society. In practice, this is applied almost exclusively to the United States. Critical race theory is grounded in several key assumptions.

In short, critical race theory presupposes that everything about American society is thoroughly racist, and minority groups will never be equal until American society is entirely reformed. This position is extremely controversial, even in secular circles. Critical race theory is often posed as a solution to white supremacy or white nationalism. However, we need to look at BLM is this not a form of black supremacy, Major corporations, and major league sports support Black Lives Matter, a Marxist-led organization that has contributed to much of the street-level chaos in America. Yet, CRT in practice essentially does nothing other than inverting the oppressed and oppressor groups. Let us look at this from a political standpoint, critical race theory closely aligns with concepts such as communism, Marxism, nationalism, progressivism, intersectionality, and the modern version of social justice.

However, I as a child of God I am obligated to reject any aspect of a philosophy that conflicts with biblical ideals. Critical race theory is deeply rooted in worldviews that are entirely incompatible with the Bible. Yes, some Christian groups have embraced the modern approach to social justice. This raises the concern that non-biblical preferences will crowd out legitimate commands from Scripture. While critical race theory is not identical to social justice, the two philosophies are intricately linked in modern American culture. Christian organizations that speak about social justice should be cautious about the terms and assumptions those discussions entail. So far as it applies to faith, Christianity, or spirituality, there is no truth whatsoever to critical race theory. This is not to say that self-labeled Christians have never perpetrated racism. Nor does it mean every Christian in America is innocent of overlooking suffering people. It certainly does not mean that believers in the United States have no need to self-examine or seek change.

Critical race theory entirely violates a biblical worldview, however, by suggesting that people are essentially defined by their race or class, rather than by their individual acts and attitudes (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Revelation 20:11–13). Critical race theory incorrectly emphasizes intersectional categories such as gender, race, sexual preference, and economic status above and beyond a person’s own choices and responsibilities (Galatians 3:28). Critical race theory also conflicts with a biblical approach to objective, absolute truth. In no small part, this includes suggesting that an “oppressed” person’s feelings matter more than what the “oppressor” has done or intended (1 Corinthians 4:4; 10:29).

As applied to spiritual matters, critical race theory effectively replaces an individual, personal relationship with God with a tribalistic, ethnocentric, collectivistic system. It also greatly overemphasizes material and social concepts to the detriment—or even the exclusion—of the true gospel. When and where prejudices are found in the church, they should be addressed according to sound doctrine, not according to an inherently unbiblical approach such as critical race theory.

Praying for a revival in our Nation

I genuinely wonder if we would see a Revival within our nation, these ongoing hypocrisies, the ongoing lies, murder in the streets, I also think about the murdering of unborn children. How much more must we as Christians and those who are not believers? How much more can we tolerate what is happening here now in 2021? Everybody seems to use the covid pandemic as an excuse. Look at Joshua 1:9. New International Version 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Do people understand spiritual warfare? What is happening to our nation here now in which Satan can use anyone as his minion?

Yes, I am praying for Revival. I am also begging you to come to Lord Jesus soon; we need Jesus within our nation. I recall as I was growing up in Memphis, in Cleveland, Ohio, it also in Long Beach, California, my mother would always take us to the Revival at the church sometimes the Revival maybe a week-long and just perhaps two or three days long but having the renewing of faith the renewing of the Mind. Just knowing that God's grace and his Mercy are with us.

God's word tells us not to conform to this world. The Book of Romans 12:2 says do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind Du what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect.

I know there are probably many people that do not believe in spiritual warfare, but spiritual warfare is real; you have a demonic presence within our world today in one Nation. Yes, many people hear Christian and speak of spiritual warfare, but many people do not fully understand what to do about spiritual warfare. I guess I have ever been in the military. I think you can compare spiritual warfare to the many battles against the enemy. In many competitions, physical actions were over-controlling different land areas or just political or economic power. Satan is God's enemy; Satan has many names: the devil, Prince of Darkness. Lucifer, and more. Whether you choose to believe or serve God and follow his son Jesus Christ wherever you may lead you.

Satan's main mission is to keep people from serving God in order to keep people from trust in God, Satan is a Deceiver Satan is the father of Lies, in his tactics May differ from person-to-person place to place. but Satan still has the same mission to destroy and to keep you from trusting in God. Satan's mission is to try to keep people from experiencing the truth and the true love of God. Yes, I indeed pray we will Revival within our Nation. I pray for a Revival like the strong Revival that happened back in the past. It was known as The Great Awakening refers to a number of periods of religious revival in American Christian history. Historians and theologians identify three, or sometimes four, waves of increased religious enthusiasm between the early 18th century and the late 20th century. Each of these "Great Awakenings" was characterized by widespread revivals led by evangelical Protestant ministers, a sharp increase of interest in religion, a profound sense of conviction and redemption on the part of those affected, an increase in evangelical church membership, and the formation of new religious movements and denominations.

I believe that a Revival should replicate the child of God's faith and experience when he or she was saved. The Holy Spirit would be prompting us to have an awareness of something that is missing, something that I have gone wrong. Our nation has turned its back on God in his loving son Jesus. And when I cry out and pray for Revival, I pray for God's holiness. it also would bring great awe, of how great our God truly is and his wonderful, amazing grace. I just want to say that God through the Holy Spirit uses in many ways in several situations for Revival. If you get the opportunity to look at the letters that Christ sent to the seven churches reveal some circumstances that may be necessary or necessitated for Revival. take a moment to look at it. read the word of God look at Revelations 2 verses 4 and 5 Also look at revelation 2 verses 10 and 11 also look at revelation 2 verses 20 through 23 again Revival helps us to find the truth look at Revelations 3 verses 1 through 6. Revival helps us to come back from spiritual death or a state of spiritual unconsciousness.

Evidence of a Revival is like a song I have heard from Zach Williams old church choir. He speaks of the Revival within his soul, and he says he is not going to let anyone Steal This Joy. Think about that he says a Revival and it is spreading like a wildfire in his soul, wow.

Evidence of Revival is the Great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on believers also Jesus is Calling everyone to come to him. Jesus said I have not come to call the righteous but Sinners to repent that's Luke 5 verse 32. believe me, once Jesus gets ahold of you, you will never be the same Jesus changes lives. I would encourage believers to share the word of God to everyone. And believers I will challenge you to spend time in prayer reading in obeying God's word I would also encourage you, believers, to begin powerfully using your spiritual gifts there is a confession of sin and repentance. Repent daily if you must, do not be afraid to call out to the Lord every day.

It has been said that there are 365 “Fear Not” verses in the Bible – one for each day of the year.

I am Truly Blessed: (I am just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody that can save anybody ….do you know him …his name is JESUS) I am not ashamed of the Gospel: I pray to never begin my day without thinking that perhaps he may interrupt my daily routine and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking for Him. Today might be the last day when Jesus returns.: I Would rather stand with GOD and be judged by the world than to stand with the world and be judged by GOD (GOD’S judgment is eternal) The Joy I have the world did not give it to me……And the world cannot take it away. Have a God-day God is good all the time…and all the time God is good wake-up-america-people.com

"Es por la bondad de Dios que en nuestro país tenemos esas tres cosas indescriptiblemente preciosas: la libertad de expresión, la libertad de conciencia y la prudencia de no practicar nunca ninguna de las dos". Mark Twain

"Estados Unidos fue fundada por personas que creen que Dios era su roca de seguridad. Reconozco que debemos ser cautelosos al afirmar que Dios está de nuestro lado, pero creo que está bien seguir preguntando si estamos de Su lado". Ronald Reagan

"El verdadero patriotismo no es adorar a nuestra nación, sino más bien, a la luz de nuestra adoración al Dios de la justicia, conformar los caminos de la justicia de nuestra nación". ~ Robert McAfee Brown

"No se puede enfatizar con demasiada fuerza ni con demasiada frecuencia que esta gran nación no fue fundada por religiosos, sino por cristianos, no sobre religiones, sino sobre el evangelio de Jesucristo.

Ryan Hamm

It is not a nationalistic patriotism—it is a love for a nation that does not pit it against other nations. Instead, it's a recognition of love followed by a mournful recognition of shortcomings." Ryan Hamm

"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained." George Washington

This coming Sunday is Independence Day in America.

I am grateful for each one of you and continue to pray for all the Nations of this world! We need Jesus! Here and now!

Without a doubt, America is going through challenges in so many ways. It is often said that there is a a battle taking place for the soul of our nation. While a nation may not have a "soul" like we as humans do, the point is that there is a cultural and moral battle taking place. We need God to lead and guide us as we come upon our 245th Birthday!

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

The very first word in verse 14 is: "if" - While that may be an exceedingly small word, it has huge ramifications as it is all based on what we are willing to do. Whether we intercede for America, or any Nation is based on our will and what we decide about it!

Our place is to pray and seek His face. God says if this is done, then He will hear from heaven and forgive sin and heal the land.

We need God to forgive our sin and heal our land! Yet, He wants us to pray and seek His face! Here and now

Willie aquí de nuevo: desde el despertar de Castle Rock, Wake up America.

Nuestra nación ha vuelto a la violencia de antaño, tú decides.

Vivimos en un mundo y un tiempo satánicos peligrosos y malvados.

Sin embargo, muchos ojos están cerrados a esta realidad.

Sí, alguien va a atacar este podcast, pero está bien, continuaré haciendo lo que Dios me guía y oraré por nuestros líderes, nuestra nación y aquellos que me persiguen.

Nuestra nación ha vuelto a la violencia de antaño, y no se trata de raza, se trata de poder. Todos estos grupos radicales con sus rabietas y amenazas es una toma de poder, hagan lo que les digamos, o vamos a involucrar disturbios y mucha violencia. Piense en esta afirmación.

Maxine Waters pidió a los manifestantes que "permanezcan en las calles" y "se vuelvan más conflictivos" si el ex oficial de policía de Minneapolis Derek Chauvin es absuelto del asesinato de George Floyd. Y ella es una líder electa.

Bueno, él no fue absuelto, ella se salió con la suya con amenazas.

O reflexione sobre este comentario: BIDEN: Necesitará F-15 y armas nucleares para enfrentarse al gobierno, los estadounidenses solo quieren mantener sus derechos bajo la segunda enmienda.

Me pregunto si este elegido por el pueblo de Estados Unidos se da cuenta de que ha amenazado a la gente que ha jurado proteger.

Oro para que Dios le quite los corazones de piedra y les dé un corazón de carne.

Ezequiel 36:26 26: Les daré un corazón nuevo y les infundiré un espíritu nuevo; Quitaré tu corazón de piedra y te daré un corazón de carne. Sí, esta es mi petición de Dios para hacer esto por nuestros líderes.

¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre las amenazas y la intimidación?

La intimidación es el acto de hacer que otra persona sea tímida o temerosa a través de amenazas reales o implícitas. Los agresores utilizan la intimidación para obligar a sus víctimas a hacer lo que quieren que hagan.

La palabra tímido se encuentra en medio de la intimidación y describe acertadamente el estado de nerviosismo causado por una persona en particular. Sin embargo, el acoso no siempre es el resultado de las acciones de una persona. Las situaciones también tienen el poder de crear intimidación.

La perspectiva de hablar en público puede ser intimidante para algunos, así como conocer a una celebridad o figura pública popular. Cuando nos enfrentamos a una situación desconocida, a menudo nos sentimos intimidados. Y dado que la Biblia siempre es relevante para nuestras vidas, también aborda el tema del acoso escolar.

El acoso puede producir un miedo malsano que puede controlarnos. Paul animó a su protegido Timothy a superar la intimidación que sentía en su puesto como nuevo pastor:

"Porque Dios no nos ha dado un espíritu de temor y timidez, sino de poder, amor y autodisciplina" (2 Timoteo 1: 7, NTV). Los jóvenes a menudo se sienten intimidados por personas mayores y más experimentadas, por lo que Pablo instó a Timoteo a no ceder a ese miedo. La intimidación puede silenciar el mensaje que Dios nos ha dado, así que cuando cedemos a él, permitimos que el temor sea Dios en lugar del Señor.

Un ejemplo de acoso se encuentra en Juan 12:42. Algunos líderes judíos de la época de Jesús dejaron que la intimidación de los fariseos les impidiera seguirlo. La posibilidad del ridículo o la persecución los intimidó para que guardaran silencio, aunque querían responder al evangelio. En Lucas 7: 36-47, tenemos un ejemplo de alguien que se negó a dejarse intimidar.

Una mujer de baja reputación entró en una casa llena de fariseos y otros líderes judíos varones para acercarse a Jesús. Arrodillándose, vertió perfume caro en los pies de Jesús y comenzó a secarlos con su cabello en una expresión de amorosa gratitud.

Sabía que no era bienvenida en la casa del fariseo; sabía que habría protestas de ella y lo más probable es que la echaran de su casa, pero no permitiría que la intimidación le impidiera adorar al Señor.

Aunque generalmente pensamos en el acoso escolar de forma negativa, no siempre está mal. Sentirse intimidado a veces se debe al gran respeto que tenemos por una persona o un lugar.

Los visitantes del Palacio de Buckingham o la Catedral de St. Paul automáticamente bajan la voz en silenciosa reverencia mientras caminan por los edificios; la grandeza y el significado histórico de esos lugares son abrumadores. Cuando se nos presenta una figura notable, a menudo tartamudeamos y olvidamos qué decir porque nos intimida la presencia de alguien a quien admiramos.

Este tipo de acoso es natural y se supera fácilmente familiarizándose con la persona o el lugar. Debemos sentir cierto nivel de intimidación cuando meditamos en el Señor.

La Biblia llama a esto el “temor de Jehová” (Proverbios 1: 7; 9:10; Salmo 111: 10), y se nos insta a desarrollarlo. Dios se mostró a los israelitas aterrorizando e intimidando para crear este tipo de temor saludable (Éxodo 19:16; 20:18).

La intimidación piadosa nos mantiene respetuosos del Señor y protege nuestro corazón contra la indiferencia y la irreverencia (Salmo 22: 28-29; Romanos 14:11).

Cuando usamos la intimidación para controlar a otro, está mal. El poder intimida, y aquellos que han recibido el poder deben usarlo para servir con humildad (Mateo 20:26; Marcos 10: 43-44; Lucas 22:26). El dinero puede intimidarayudar a los que no lo tienen.

Entonces, la instrucción de Dios a los ricos es que usen sus recursos para ser útiles, no altivos (1 Timoteo 6:17). Podemos intimidar a los demás física, mental y emocionalmente, utilizando lo que se nos ha dado para nuestro propio beneficio. Puede que no nos rebajemos a la agresión física, pero aún podemos intimidar a otros omitiendo nombres, alardeando con velos o haciendo alarde de nuestra riqueza. Segunda de Corintios 10: 17-18 dice:

"" El que se jacta, gloríese en el Señor. "Porque no es el que se alaba a sí mismo el que es aprobado, sino el que alaba el Señor".

Lamentablemente, algunos líderes de la iglesia practican una forma de intimidación espiritual. Los pastores y otros líderes que exigen sumisión a su autoridad, esperan lealtad incondicional y hacen cumplir las reglas legalistas para controlar sus congregaciones están abusando de su posición. Los miembros de la iglesia no deben temer el castigo o la humillación por cuestionar el liderazgo de la iglesia. Los pastores no deben ser figuras de autoridad, sino siervos: “Sed pastores del rebaño de Dios que está bajo tu cuidado, velando por ellos. . . ansioso por servir; no enseñándonos de los que os han sido confiados, sino siendo ejemplos para el rebaño ”(1 Pedro 5: 2-3).

Estamos llamados a ser valientes como leones cuando estamos del lado de la justicia (Proverbios 28: 1).

Debemos protegernos contra la intimidación indebida por parte de otros, recordando que son seres humanos falibles como nosotros (Proverbios 29:23; Isaías 2:11; 23: 9).

Cuando nos sentimos intimidados por personas o situaciones desconocidas, recordamos que Dios está por nosotros (Romanos 8:31). El salmista respondió a la intimidación con estas palabras: “El SEÑOR está conmigo; No tendré miedo. ¿Qué me pueden hacer los simples mortales? (Salmo 118: 6; cf. Jeremías 42:11).

[sPause sec = 2.4 ePause] Es posible que a veces nos sintamos ansiosos e inseguros, pero cuando sabemos que nuestra conciencia está limpia y que el Señor está complacido con nuestras decisiones, no tenemos que dejar que la intimidación nos impida convertirnos en todo eso. Dios nos diseñó. déjelo ser (Salmo 23: 4; 27: 1; Hechos 23: 1).

Willie here again: from the awakening of Castle Rock, Wake up America.

Our nation has returned to the violence of yesteryear, you decide.

We are living in a dangerous and evil satanic world and time.

However, many eyes are closed to this reality.

Yes, someone is going to attack this podcast, but okay, I will continue to do what God guides me and pray for our leaders, our nation, and those who persecute me.

Our nation is back to the violence of yesteryear, and it's not about race, it's about power. All these radical groups with their tantrums and threats is a power grab, do what we tell them, or we are going to involve riots and a lot of violence. Think about this statement.

Maxine Waters called on protesters to "stay on the streets" and "get more confrontational" if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is acquitted of George Floyd's murder. And she is an elected leader.

Well, he wasn't acquitted, she got her way with threats.

Or reflect on this comment: BIDEN: You will need F-15s and nuclear weapons to take on the government, Americans just want to keep their rights under the 2nd amendments.

I wonder if this elected by the people of the United States realizes that he has threatened the people he has sworn to protect.

I pray that God will remove the hearts of stone from him and give them a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26 26: I will give you a new heart and infuse you with a new spirit; I will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Yes, this is my request from God to do this for our leaders.

What does the Bible say about threats and intimidation?

Bullying is the act of making another person shy or fearful through real or implied threats. Bullies use intimidation to force their victims to do what they want them to do.

The word shy is in the middle of bullying and aptly describes the state of nervousness caused by a particular person. However, bullying is not always the result of a person's actions. Situations also have the power to create intimidation.

The prospect of public speaking can be intimidating to some, as well as meeting a celebrity or popular public figure. When faced with an unfamiliar situation, we often feel intimidated. And since the Bible is always relevant to our lives, it also addresses the issue of bullying.

Bullying can produce unhealthy fear that can control us. Paul encouraged his protégé Timothy to overcome the intimidation he felt in his position as new pastor:

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1: 7, NLT). Young people are often intimidated by older and more experienced people, so Paul urged Timothy not to give in to that fear. Bullying can silence the message that God has given us, so when we give in to it, we allow the fear to be God instead of the Lord.

An example of bullying is found in John 12:42. Some Jewish leaders in Jesus' day let the intimidation of the Pharisees prevent them from following him. The possibility of ridicule or persecution intimidated them into keeping quiet, even though they wanted to respond to the gospel. In Luke 7: 36-47, we have an example of someone who refused to be intimidated.

A woman of low repute entered a house full of Pharisees and other male Jewish leaders to get closer to Jesus. Kneeling, she poured expensive perfume on Jesus' feet and began to dry them with her hair in an expression of loving gratitude.

She knew that she was not welcome in the Pharisee's house; she knew there would be protests from her and most likely they would kick her out of her home, but she would not let intimidation stop her from worshiping the Lord.

Although we generally think of bullying in a negative light, it is not always wrong. Feeling intimidated is sometimes due to the great respect we have for a person or a place.

Visitors to Buckingham Palace or St. Paul's Cathedral automatically lower their voices in silent reverence as they walk through the buildings; the grandeur and historical significance of those places are daunting. When we are presented with a notable figure, we often stutter and forget what to say because we are intimidated by the presence of someone we admire.

This type of bullying is natural and is easily overcome by becoming familiar with the person or place. We should feel a certain level of intimidation when we meditate on the Lord.

The Bible calls this the “fear of the Lord” (Proverbs 1: 7; 9:10; Psalm 111: 10), and we are urged to develop it. God showed himself to the Israelites in terrifying andintimidating to create this kind of healthy fear (Exodus 19:16; 20:18).

Godly intimidation keeps us respectful of the Lord and protects our hearts against indifference and irreverence (Psalm 22: 28-29; Romans 14:11).

When we use intimidation to control another, it is wrong. Power is intimidating, and those who have been empowered should use it to serve humbly (Matthew 20:26; Mark 10: 43-44; Luke 22:26). Money can intimidate those who don't have it.

So God's instruction to the rich is to use their resources to be useful, not haughty (1 Timothy 6:17). We can intimidate others physically, mentally and emotionally, using what has been given to us for our own benefit. We may not stoop to physical aggression, but we can still intimidate others by omitting names, bragging in veils, or flaunting our wealth. Second Corinthians 10: 17-18 says:

"" He who boasts, boast in the Lord. "For it is not he who praises himself who is approved, but he who the Lord praises."

Sadly, some church leaders practice a form of spiritual intimidation. Pastors and other leaders who demand submission to their authority, expect unconditional loyalty, and enforce legalistic rules to control their congregations are abusing their position. Church members need not fear punishment or humiliation for questioning church leadership. Shepherds should not be authority figures, but servants: “Be shepherds of the flock of God that is under your care, watching over them. . . eager to serve; not teaching us of those who have been entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock ”(1 Peter 5: 2-3).

We are called to be brave as lions when we are on the side of justice (Proverbs 28: 1).

We must guard against undue bullying by others, remembering that they are fallible human beings just like us (Proverbs 29:23; Isaiah 2:11; 23: 9).

When we are intimidated by unfamiliar people or situations, we remember that God is for us (Romans 8:31). The psalmist responded to the intimidation with these words: “The LORD is with me; I will not have fear. What can mere mortals do to me? (Psalm 118: 6; cf. Jeremiah 42:11).

We may feel anxious and insecure at times, but when we know that our conscience is clear and the Lord is pleased with our decisions, we don't have to let intimidation stop us from becoming all that. God designed us. let it be (Psalm 23: 4; 27: 1; Acts 23: 1).

P.T.S.D (No todas las cicatrices o heridas son visibles)

Hola, soy yo de nuevo, Willie T Ayers. Primero, me gustaría darle toda la alabanza y gloria a Dios.

Además, me gustaría pedirles a los veteranos con PTSD que ayuden a los civiles con PTSD,] si puede.

Muchos tienen PTSD, el ejército, primeros auxilios y sí, incluso niños, aunque el PTSD a menudo se asocia con soldados y otros en el frente de guerra. Pero cualquiera, incluso los niños, puede desarrollarlo después de un evento traumático.

Quiero asegurarte que no estás solo. Dios es más grande que el trastorno de estrés postraumático. Aunque la Biblia no menciona el trastorno de estrés postraumático, podemos extraer mucha información de la palabra de Dios.

Para aquellos de nosotros que desarrollamos PTSD, tenemos síntomas persistentes durante más de un mes. Otros síntomas del PTSD pueden incluir una nueva experiencia intrusiva del trauma, como recuerdos recurrentes involuntarios, pesadillas o disociación; evitar pensamientos o sentimientos relacionados con traumas o recordatorios externos; cambios negativos en pensamientos o comportamiento, incluida la incapacidad para recordar detalles relacionados con el trauma, creencias negativas persistentes sobre uno mismo o el mundo, pérdida de interés, sentimientos de alienación o incapacidad para expresar emociones positivas; y cambios en la excitación o reactividad como irritabilidad, agresión, hipervigilancia, comportamiento imprudente o alteraciones del sueño.

En las personas que viven con PTSD, estos síntomas causan un deterioro significativo en el trabajo o el funcionamiento social. Algunos pueden pensar que Combat PTSD es diferente de los que no son de combate. ¿Cómo se separa el PTSD no relacionado con el combate del PTSD que escuchamos con más frecuencia en el combate militar? La realidad es que es la misma enfermedad, los mismos síntomas, la misma condición debilitante.

El desencadenante del trauma, los síntomas específicos y la gravedad de los síntomas pueden diferir, pero millones de veteranos y civiles viven con TEPT.

Las personas pueden desarrollar PTSD cuando experimentan, presencian o se enteran de un evento que involucra muerte, violación o lesión grave real o amenazante. El TEPT que no es de combate puede afectar a todas las edades, géneros, niveles de ingresos, etnias y estilos de vida. Puede ser un desafío para los veteranos de combate procesar las atrocidades que han presenciado, llegar a un lugar de aceptación sobre las cosas que se les ha encomendado hacer y reajustarse a una vida sin combate.

Para el personal militar cristiano, puede ser un desafío aceptar quitarse la vida, incluso como un acto de guerra, o en el entierro ceremonial en curso de los hermanos y hermanas caídos, como los hombres y mujeres que sirven en el 3er Regimiento de Infantería. Desde el Fuerte de EE. UU. (The Old Guardia). Myer VA.

Los cristianos conocen el profundo valor que Dios otorga a la vida humana y, a menudo, se sienten increíblemente culpables por quitarle la vida a otro, incluso en lo que se consideraría una circunstancia justificable. Muchas veces, los veteranos de guerra cristianos están más profundamente conscientes de su estado pecaminoso que otros cristianos.

Pueden sentirse indignos del amor de Dios debido a las cosas que el servicio militar les exige. Aquellos de nosotros que sufrimos de TEPT tanto de combate como de no combate, podemos encontrar extremadamente difícil aceptar el perdón de Dios.

Es posible que se sientan obsesionados por las decisiones que tomaron en las muchas situaciones fallidas en las que fueron colocados durante la guerra. Porfavor entiendeme. El horror del combate es real y aterrador.

También pueden tener recuerdos persistentes de las horribles realidades de la guerra y sentirse constantemente en alerta máxima después de meses de vivir en situaciones potencialmente mortales.

Aquellos que tienen PTSD por cualquier experiencia deben reconocer que el tratamiento llevará tiempo, lo cual está bien. Algunos han comparado esto con el "aguijón en la carne" de Pablo (2 Corintios 12: 7-10). Dios se ofrece a sanar, pero en la forma y en el momento que le parezca oportuno. Mientras tanto, da suficiente gracia para soportar las dificultades. Las espinas son dolorosas y el trastorno de estrés postraumático es, sin duda, una gran espina. Pero podemos continuar volviéndonos a Dios y recordarnos su fidelidad (Lamentaciones 3; 1 Corintios 1: 4-9).

La verdad es un componente crucial para afrontar o superar el trastorno de estrés postraumático. Recordarse a sí mismo que Dios ama, perdona y valora a su pueblo es extremadamente importante. Es esencial saber quiénes Dios dice que somos y definirnos por sus estándares en lugar de por lo que hemos hecho o por lo que nos han hecho.

No necesitamos identificarnos ni como víctimas ni como perpetradores. En Dios, podemos recordar como un hijo amado (Romanos 8: 14-17; Efesios 1: 3-6; 1 Juan 3: 1-3), sellados en el Espíritu Santo (Efesios 1: 13-14), perdonados (Romanos 5; Efesios 1: 7-10; 1 Juan 1: 8-9) y redimidos.

Perder a un amigo cercano o familiar es increíblemente difícil y muchos pueden sentirse indignos de salvarse a sí mismos. Pero aquellos con "culpa de sobreviviente" pueden recordar la verdad de la soberanía de Dios y que Él tiene un propósito para la vida de todos.

Dios amó a los que fueron víctimas de la guerra u otros crímenes o tragedias tanto como ama a los que sobrevivieron. El propósito de la misma para cada persona es único. Reemplazar la mentira de que somos indignos de haber vivido con la verdad de que Dios tiene un plan y valora nuestros días en la tierra esvital (Efesios 2:10; 5: 15-16).

Soy un hijo de Dios y tengo PTSD. Sé que el trastorno de estrés postraumático es un desafío complejo que requerirá una fe fuerte en Dios y la voluntad de perseverar.

Pero Dios es fiel, y cada día podemos elegir entregarnos al amor de Dios, luchar contra el trastorno de estrés postraumático lo mejor que podamos y, en última instancia, descansar en la gracia y la compasión de Dios.

El trastorno de estrés postraumático no es algo para ignorar, sino algo para entregarse a Dios y participar activamente. Estamos invitados a acercarnos a Dios con valentía y derramar nuestro corazón por Él (Hebreos 4: 14-16). Estamos seguros de que nada puede separarnos de su amor (Romanos 8: 35-38). Dios puede restaurar la salud mental de la persona que vive con PTSD. Al final, Dios incluso puede usar la situación para su gloria.

“Alabado sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el Padre de misericordia y el Dios de todo consuelo, que nos consuela en todas nuestras angustias para que podamos consolar a los que están en cualquier angustia con el consuelo que recibimos de Dios. Porque de la manera que compartimos abundantemente los sufrimientos de Cristo, así también abunda nuestro consuelo en Cristo ”(2 Corintios 1: 3-5).

Bendición en Cristo. Aquí hay siete escrituras que prometen la curación de eventos traumáticos.

Salmo 91: 4-6. "Él te cubrirá con sus alas, y debajo de sus alas encontrarás refugio; su fidelidad es escudo y escudo. No temerás el terror de la noche, ni la flecha que vuela de día, ni la pestilencia que acecha. En la oscuridad, ni en la destrucción que asola al mediodía ".

Proverbios 1:33. "Pero quien me escuche, vivirá seguro y se sentirá cómodo, sin miedo al desastre".

Isaías 41:10. "No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; no desmayes, porque yo soy tu Dios; te fortaleceré, te ayudaré, te sostendré con la diestra de mi justicia".

Isaías 53: 5. "Pero él fue traspasado por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestras iniquidades; sobre él fue el castigo que nos trajo la paz, y con sus heridas, somos sanados [startSpeech r = Slow startSpeech] [endSpeech]" .

Lamentaciones 3: 21-23. "Pero esto recuerdo, y por tanto tengo esperanza: El amor inquebrantable del Señor nunca cesa; sus misericordias nunca terminan; son nuevas cada mañana; grande es tu fidelidad". 2 Corintios 5:21. "El que no conoció pecado, lo hizo pecado por nosotros, para que en él seamos justicia de Dios".

1 Pedro 5: 7. "Pon todas tus ansiedades sobre él porque se preocupa por ti"

P.T.S.D

(Not all scars or wounds are visible)

Hi, it's me again, Willie T Ayers. First, I would like to give all the praise and glory to God.

Also, I would like to ask veterans with PTSD to help civilians with PTSD, if you can.

Many have PTSD, the military, first aid, and yes, even children-although PTSD is often associated with soldiers and others on the war front. But anyone, even children, can develop it after a traumatic event.

I want to assure you that you are not alone. God is bigger than PTSD. Although the Bible does not mention PTSD, we can extract a lot of information from God's word.

For those of us who develop PTSD, we have persistent symptoms for more than a month. Other symptoms of PTSD may include an intrusive new experience of the trauma, such as involuntary recurring memories, nightmares, or dissociation; avoiding thoughts or feelings related to trauma or external reminders; negative changes in thoughts or behavior, including the inability to recall details related to the trauma, persistent negative beliefs about oneself or the world, loss of interest, feelings of alienation, or inability to express positive emotions; and changes in arousal or reactivity such as irritability, aggression, hypervigilance, reckless behavior, or sleep disturbances.

In people living with PTSD, these symptoms cause significant impairment in work or social functioning.

Some may think that Combat PTSD is different from non-combat. How is non-combat-related PTSD separated from the PTSD we hear more often in military combat? The reality is that it is the same disease, the same symptoms, the same debilitating condition.

Triggering trauma, specific symptoms, and symptom severity may differ, but millions of veterans and civilians live with PTSD.

People can develop PTSD when they experience, witness, or learn of an event that involves actual or threatening death, rape, or severe injury.

Non-combat PTSD can affect all ages, genders, income levels, ethnicities, and lifestyles. It can be challenging for combat veterans to process the atrocities they have witnessed, come to a place of acceptance about the things they have been tasked with doing, and readjust to a non-combat life.

For Christian military personnel, it can be challenging to accept taking their lives, even as an act of war, or in the ongoing ceremonial burial of fallen brothers and sisters, such as the men and women who serve in the 3rd Infantry Regiment. From USA (The Old Guardia) Fort. Myer VA.

Christians know the profound value that God places on human life, and they often feel incredibly guilty about taking the life of another, even in what would be considered a justifiable circumstance. Many times, Christian war veterans are more deeply aware of their sinful state than other Christians.

They may feel unworthy of God's love because of the things that military service requires of them. Those of us who suffer from both combat and non-combat PTSD may find accepting God's forgiveness extremely difficult.

They may be haunted by the decisions they made in the many unsuccessful situations they were placed in during the war. Please, understand me. The horror of combat is real and terrifying.

They may also have lingering memories of the horrible realities of war and constantly feel on high alert after months of living in life-threatening situations.

Those who have PTSD from any experience should recognize that treatment will take time, which is fine. Some have compared this to Paul's "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12: 7-10). God offers to heal, but in the way and at the time that He sees fit. Meanwhile, he gives enough grace to endure hardships. Thorns are painful, and PTSD is undoubtedly a big thorn. But we can continue to turn to God and remind ourselves of his faithfulness (Lamentations 3; 1 Corinthians 1: 4-9).

Truth is a crucial component in coping with or overcoming PTSD. Reminding yourself that God loves, forgives, and values his people is extremely important. Know who God says we are and define ourselves by his standards rather than for what we have done or what has been done to us is essential.

We do not need to identify ourselves as either victims or perpetrators. In God, we can remember as a beloved child (Romans 8: 14-17; Ephesians 1: 3-6; 1 John 3: 1-3),

sealed in the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1: 13-14), forgiven (Romans 5; Ephesians 1: 7-10; 1 John 1: 8-9) and redeemed.

Losing a close friend or family member is incredibly difficult, and many may feel unworthy of saving themselves. But those with "survivor guilt" can remember the truth of God's sovereignty and that He has a purpose for everyone's life.

God loved those who were victims of war or other crimes or tragedy as much as He loves those who survived. The purpose of it for each person is unique. Replacing the lie that we are unworthy of having lived with the truth that God has a plan and values our days on earth is vital (Ephesians 2:10; 5: 15-16).

I am a child of God, and I have PTSD. I know that PTSD is a complex challenge that will require a strong faith in God and a willingness to persevere.

But God is faithful, and each day we can choose to surrender to God's love, fight post-traumatic stress disorder to the best of our ability, and ultimately rest in God's grace and compassion.

PTSD is not something to ignore, but something to surrender to God and actively participate. We are invited to approach God with courage and pour out our hearts to Him (Hebrews 4: 14-16). We are sure that nothing can separate us from his love (Romans 8: 35-38). God can restore the mental health of the person living with PTSD. In the end, God can even use the situation to his glory.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercy and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our distress so that we can comfort those in any distress with the comfort we receive from God. For as we abundantly share in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ ”(2 Corinthians 1: 3-5).

Blessing in Christ.

Here are seven scriptures that promise healing from traumatic events.

Psalm 91: 4-6. "He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and shield. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks. In the darkness, nor in the destruction that ravages at noon. "

Proverbs 1:33. "But whoever listens to me, he will live safe and feel comfortable, without fear of disaster."

Isaiah 41:10. "Do not fear, because I am with you; do not lose heart, because I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

Isaiah 53: 5. "But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that brought us peace, and with his wounds, we are healed.

Lamentations 3: 21-23. "But this I remember, and therefore I have hope: The unbreakable love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

2 Corinthians 5:21. "He who knew no sin, he made sin for us, so that in him we may be the righteousness of God."

1 Peter 5: 7. "Put all your anxieties on him because he cares about you."

Que esta pasando? Hola, soy Willie Ayers. Desde el despertar, Castle Rock despierta América. Muchos de ustedes lo saben, Marvin Gaye.

Hizo la canción llamada ¿Qué está pasando? Bueno, hoy, mi pregunta es, ¿qué está pasando? Tienes BLM LBGQT tantos grupos radicales. ¿Tenían tantos líderes importantes de estos grupos radicales, entonces mi pregunta es, qué está pasando? Tenemos noticias falsas y crímenes en curso, los niños están siendo asesinados en la furia de la carretera, muchas cosas diferentes, hicieron que la gente fuera demandada por su religión.

O creencias que tiene algo de política que no responden a una pregunta simple ¿Creen que si el feto de 17 semanas es ese feto considerado un ser humano, la respuesta es sí, que el feto es un ser humano, un niño vivo, pero en lugar de responder la pregunta? , dijeron que yo apoyo a Roe contra Wade, eso está bien.

Sin embargo, sigue siendo un asesinato en un feto en el útero, entonces, ¿qué está pasando? Conseguiste que la gente tomara represalias contra las personas que se niegan a recibir la vacuna Covid-19. Ese es un derecho personal. Si no quieren recibir una vacuna contra la covid, no puede obligarlos a que se vacunen.

¿Somos una nación dictatorial? Han tenido más incidentes de muerte relacionados con la gripe, pero nadie se vio obligado a vacunarse contra la gripe, entonces, ¿qué está pasando?

La gente en los programas de entrevistas ahora está haciendo el ojo por ojo sobre Biden haciendo locuras. Simplemente no lo entiendo; tan triste es tan lo siento. Y sí, tenemos personas en posiciones de liderazgo que apoyarán a grupos radicales pero querían restar importancia a los valores cristianos, pero ¿saben que cada vez que una persona va a la corte y jura bajo juramento, afirma su fe en Dios porque cuando dice que lo hizo? vas, y nada más que la verdad así que ayúdame Dios, están afirmando que creen en Dios.

Sin embargo, debe comprender que hay personas en lugares elevados que intentan sacar a Dios de la ecuación. No lo entiendo, así que sí, sigo diciendo ¿qué está pasando? Entonces, lo que está pasando es que esto es triste. Hablamos de esclavitud bien, hubo ungüento de todos los grupos étnicos, no solo los negros, sino que vivimos en una nación que solo ve temas de blanco y negro.

Miente el asesinato en las calles Es espantoso es una locura; es absolutamente redundante. Dime cómo la gente ignora la maldad que está sucediendo. El mal puro está sucediendo en nuestro mundo hoy. Gente, uno de ellos minimiza el hecho de que Jesús vive, que Dios está vivo, que Dios es real.

Sabes que la gente dijo Bueno, oh, no puedes ver a Dios, tampoco puedes ver el viento, pero lo sientes, no puedes ver las vigas que sostienen un edificio, pero crees que están allí, no puedes ver dentro del cuerpo humano con el desnudo. ojo, pero sabes que tenemos órganos allí.

Oh, sí, sé que mucha gente intentará buscar huecos en este podcast; Jesús es mi libertad. Supongo que para mí, y realmente no creo que eso sea algo real como ateo confirmado; si es así, no aceptarían el dinero que dice en Dios que confiamos en él.

Pero todo el mundo cree en algo, pero un verdadero ateo no cree en nada. ¿Es lamentable que la gente no quiera darse cuenta de que vendrá pronto y no al teatro, sino que vendrá pronto, Jesús regresará? ¿Entonces qué está pasando? Dime, ¿estás dispuesto a abrir los ojos y ver a los indignados en las calles? ¿Estás listo para abrir los ojos y ver si tienen muchos problemas injustos aquí y ahora? De arriba hacia abajo, ¿estás dispuesto a abrir los ojos?

Sí, muchos estadounidenses están siendo manipulados directa o indirectamente. El pueblo estadounidense está siendo utilizado y, por favor, no me malinterprete, debemos obedecer a los funcionarios electos, pero no si van en contra de la palabra de Dios. Entonces, de nuevo, ¿qué está pasando? Entonces, supongo que los derechos de la segunda enmienda están siendo atacados y el derecho a portar armas. Entonces, alguien, por favor, dígame qué está pasando.

Luego tienes personas que quieren subirse al carro sin conocer su trasero por un agujero en el suelo. Quieren subirse al carro, así que alguien, por favor, dígame qué está pasando. Sí, tenemos gente hablando de no comentar que toda la vida importa, pero que toda la vida importa si estás en una relación interracial. ¿Importa su mejor vida media?

Pero la gente está tan ocupada mirando en blanco y negro que solo había grupos étnicos desde el principio de los tiempos que no se llamaba raza. Se le llamó grupo étnico en función de su ubicación geográfica. Lo primero que hay que entender en esta discusión es que solo hay una raza: los humanos. Los caucásicos, africanos, asiáticos, indios, árabes y judíos no son razas diferentes. En cambio, son diferentes etnias de humanos. Todos los seres humanos tienen las mismas características físicas (con pequeñas variaciones, por supuesto).

Más importante aún, todos los seres humanos son igualmente creados a imagen y semejanza de Dios (Génesis 1: 26-27). Dios amó tanto al mundo que envió a Jesús a dar su vida por nosotros (Juan 3:16). El "mundo" obviamente incluye a todos los grupos étnicos. Entonces, alguien me dice realmente lo que está pasando, nadie solo se enfoca en eso o solo esclavos negros que están vivos.Tienes gente de ascendencia asiática que era esclava, incluso tiene esclava blanca, supongo que si quieres ver su realidad en la vida real. Quizás los indios pudieron haber sido los primeros esclavos; la tierra les fue quitada.

No conozco a alguien, y por favor dígame qué está pasando.

Como debo mencionar que a un líder se le preguntó si un bebé nonato a las 17 semanas era un ser humano. La pregunta se evitó con la respuesta, creo en Roe versus Wade. Bueno, la respuesta es sí, que los bebés por nacer son seres humanos. Roe vs.Wade no tiene nada que ver con la pregunta, y si matas a ese bebé, eso es asesinato.

No lo cree; búsquelo en las Escrituras, dice las escrituras usted mismo. La Biblia nunca aborda específicamente el tema del aborto. Sin embargo, numerosas enseñanzas en las Escrituras dejan muy claro cuál es la visión de Dios sobre el aborto. Jeremías 1: 5 nos dice que Dios nos conoce antes de formarnos en el útero. El Salmo 139: 13-16 habla del papel activo de Dios en nuestra creación y formación en el útero. Éxodo 21: 22-25 prescribe la misma pena, la muerte, para quien provoca la muerte de un bebé en el útero que para quien comete un asesinato. Y luego la locura en la frontera, apenas podemos cuidar de nuestra gente en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, aún las fronteras están abiertas de par en par, no me malinterpreten, creo en ayudar a la gente a que no me malinterpreten porque eso es algo cristiano.

Sin embargo, tengo que volver a hacer una pregunta, por favor, alguien me diga qué está pasando. ¿Deberíamos cuidar también de las personas aquí en nuestra nación, las personas sin hogar aquí en Estados Unidos? No lo sé. ¿Alguien me dice realmente qué está pasando?

Según tengo entendido, leí que la patrulla fronteriza de Texas encontró 33, sí, 33 inmigrantes ilegales empacados y un U-Haul con temperaturas superiores a los 100 grados, así que alguien me dice realmente qué está pasando.

Supongo que muchos de ustedes no se dan cuenta, pero se está atacando la libertad de expresión esencial. Dios nos dio libre albedrío. Él nos dio la habilidad de hablar, y nos dio la habilidad de desafiar, nos dio la habilidad de defender a los débiles, nos dio la habilidad de proteger a la Viuda si nos dio la habilidad de ayudar a los necesitados. Nos dio el poder de la libertad de expresión, no el hombre.

Por eso dije que tendría a alguien que intentaría cambiar el guión de este podcast, pero primero soy cristiano. Soy un niño de Dios; Primero, seguiré la palabra de Dios, no las palabras del hombre. Mi oración es ser un buen esposo, un buen padre, un buen líder cristiano, una buena persona, y hacer la voluntad de Dios y seguir a Jesús dondequiera que me lleve.

Necesitamos a Jesús aquí ahora. Necesitamos a Dios de vuelta en nuestra nación. No lo digo una vez más los negros no fueron los únicos esclavos en este mundo chequeen su historia.

Es decir, si decide hacerlo, depende de usted y de mí compartir la palabra de Dios. Y no sé ustedes, pero le pediré a Dios que me dé la fuerza para seguir compartiendo su palabra su amor

Le pediré a Dios que me dé la fuerza para seguir orando por nuestros líderes y que nuestra nación le pida a Dios que me dé el poder para orar por el pueblo estadounidense, no solo por el pueblo estadounidense sino por personas de todos los grupos étnicos en todo el mundo.

Le pedí a Dios que me diera la fuerza para orar continuamente, le pediré a Dios que permita que el Espíritu Santo more en mí y dentro de mí y ese es Dios para bendecir a nuestros líderes, aquellos que tienen corazones y piedras para darles un corazón de carne para que puedan. comprender.

En Ezequiel 11, Dios se dirige a su pueblo, los israelitas, prometiendo que algún día los devolverá a la tierra y una relación correcta consigo mismo. Dios promete reunir a los hebreos de las naciones donde habían sido esparcidos (Ezequiel 11:17) y darles un corazón nuevo e indiviso (versículo 19). El resultado de recibir un corazón nuevo será la obediencia a los mandamientos de Dios: "Entonces seguirán mis decretos y se cuidarán de guardar mis leyes. Ellos serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios" (versículo 20). Esta profecía se cumplirá en el milenio cuando Jesús el Mesías gobierne desde Sion e Israel haya sido restaurado a la fe (Romanos 11:26).

Alguien a quien Dios le ha dado un corazón nuevo se comporta de manera diferente.

Saúl es un ejemplo de esto en 1 Samuel 10: 1 y 9. Dios había elegido a Saúl para ser el primer rey de Israel. Saúl era un don nadie, pero Dios lo eligió de todos modos y envió al profeta Samuel para ungirlo rey. "Entonces Samuel tomó un frasco de aceite de oliva y lo derramó sobre la cabeza de Saúl y lo besó, diciendo: '¿No te ha ungido Jehová por gobernante sobre su herencia?'" Samuel hizo varias predicciones para demostrarle a Saúl que Dios lo había enviado, y el versículo 9 dice: "Cuando Saúl se volvió y comenzó a irse,

Dios le dio un corazón nuevo, y todas las señales de Samuel se cumplieron ese día. "El corazón nuevo que Dios le dio a Saúl lo transformó de un don nadie promedio al rey de Israel. No solo cambió su estatus, sino que toda su perspectiva fue transformada por el el poder de Dios.

El corazón humano fue creado para reflejar el corazón de Dios (Génesis 1:27; Santiago 3: 9). Fuimos diseñados para amarlo a Él, amar la justicia y caminar en armonía con Dios y otros.de ella (Miqueas 6: 8). Pero parte del diseño de Dios del corazón humano es el libre albedrío. Ese libre albedrío conlleva la oportunidad de abusar de él, como hicieron Adán y Eva en el Jardín del Edén (Génesis 3:11).

Dios desea que elijamos amarlo y servirlo. Cuando nos negamos obstinadamente a seguir a Dios, nuestro corazón, que fue diseñado para comunicarse con Dios, se endurece. Dios compara los corazones rebeldes con la piedra (Zacarías 7:12).

Un corazón de piedra encuentra imposible arrepentirse, amar a Dios o agradarle (Romanos 8: 8). Los corazones de la humanidad pecadora están tan endurecidos que ni siquiera podemos buscar a Dios por nosotros mismos (Romanos 3:11), y es por eso que Jesús dijo que nadie podía venir a Él a menos que el Padre lo atrajera primero (Juan 6:44). Necesitamos desesperadamente corazones nuevos, porque no podemos por nosotros mismos ablandar nuestros corazones duros. Un cambio de corazón hacia Dios requiere una transformación sobrenatural. Jesús lo llamó "nacer de nuevo" (Juan 3: 3). ¿Qué está pasando? Muchos líderes se rindieron a los radicales y renunciaron a las bendiciones en Cristo del sentido común.

What is going on? You Tell me Hello this, is Willie Ayers. From wake-up, castle rock wake up America.

Many of you know that, Marvin Gaye.

Made the song called what is going on? Well, today, my question is, what is going on? You have BLM LBGQT so many radical groups. Did you have so many leaders important these radical groups, so my question is, what is going on? We have fake news and ongoing crimes, kids are being murdered in road rage, many different things you got people being sued because of their religion.

Or beliefs you got some politics failing to answer a simple question do they believe that if the fetus of an 17 weeks is that fetus considered a human being the answer is yes that fetus is a human being a living child, but instead of answering the question, they said I support Roe versus Wade that's fine and dandy.

However, it is still murder in an unborn child in the womb, so what is going on? You got people to retaliate against people who refuse them to get the covid-19 shot. That is a personal right. If they do not want to get a covid vaccine, you cannot force them to get a vaccine.

Are we a dictator nation? They have had more incidents of death-dealing with the flu, but nobody was forced to get the flu shot, so what is going on?

People on talk shows are now going tit-for-tat about Biden doing crazy stuff. I just do not get it; so sad is just so sorry. And yes, we have people in leadership positions that will support radical groups but wanted to downplay Christian values, but do you know that every time a person goes to court and swear under oath did, they affirmed their belief in God because when they say they are you going, and nothing but the truth so help me God, they are affirming that they believe in God.

However, you need to understand that you have people in high places trying to take God out of the equation. I do not understand it, so yes, I continue to say what is going on? So, what is going on is this is sad. We speak of slavery well there was salve of all ethnicity groups, not just blacks, but we live in a nation that only sees black and white issues.

Lies murder in the streets Is fearful is crazy; it is downright redundant. Tell me how people ignore the evilness that is happening. Pure evil is going on in our world today. People, one of them downplay the fact that Jesus Lives that God is alive that God is real.

You know you got people said Well oh you cannot see God you cannot see the wind either, but you feel it, you cannot see the beams holding up a building, but you believe they are there you cannot see inside the human body with the naked eye, but you know we have organs there.

Oh yeah, I know that so many people will try to pick holes in this podcast; Jesus is my liberty. I guess for me, and I genuinely do not believe that is an actual thing as a confirmed atheist; if so, they would not accept the money that says in God we trust on it.

But everybody believes in something, but a true atheist believes in nothing. Is it regrettable that people do not want to realize that coming soon and not to a theater but coming soon Jesus is coming back? So, what is going on? You tell me, are you willing to open your eyes and see the outraged within the streets? Are you ready to open your eyes and see if they have many unjust issues here and now? From the top-down, are you willing to open your eyes to it?

Yes, many Americans are being manipulated directly or indirectly. The American people are being used, and please do not get me wrong, we must obey elected officials, but not if they go against the word of God. So again, what is going on? So, I guess second amendment rights are under attack and the right to bear arms. So, somebody, please tell me what is going on?

Then you have people who want to jump on the bandwagon without knowing their butt from a hole in the ground. They want to jump on the bandwagon, so somebody, please tell me what is going on? Yes, we have people talking about not commenting that all life matters, but all life matters if you are in an interracial relationship. Does your better half-life matter?

But people are so busy just looking at black and white you had only ethnicity groups since the beginning of time it was not called a race. It was called ethnicity group based on their geographical location. The first thing to understand in this discussion is that there is only one race—humans. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Indians, Arabs, and Jews are not different races. Instead, they are different ethnicities of humans. All human beings have the same physical characteristics (with minor variations, of course).

More importantly, all human beings are equally created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God loved the world so much that He sent Jesus to lay down His life for us (John 3:16). The "world" obviously includes all ethnic groups. So, somebody tells me really what is going on no people only focus on that or just black slaves that are alive you have people of Asian descent that was slave even have white slave I guess if you want to look at its reality in real life. Perhaps the Indians might have been the first slaves; the land was taken from them.

I do not know so somebody, and please tell me what is going on?

Like I must mention that a leader was asked was an unborn baby at 17 weeks was a human being. The question was avoided with the reply, I believe in Roe versus Wade. Well, the answer is yes, that unborn babies are human beings. Roe vs. wade has nothing to do with the question asked, and if you kill that baby, that's murder.

You do not believe it; look it up in Scripture says the scriptures for yourself. The Bible never specifically addresses the issue of abortion. However, numerous teachings in Scripture make it abundantly clear what God's view of abortion is. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He forms us in the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 speaks of God's active role in our creation and formation in the womb. Exodus 21:22-25 prescribes the same penalty—death—for someone who causes the end of a baby in the womb as for someone who commits murder.

And then the craziness at the border we can barely take care of our people in the United States. However, yet borders are wide open, do not get me wrong, I believe in helping people do not get me wrong because that is a Christian thing to do.

However, I got to ask a question again, please, somebody tell me what is going on? should we also take care of the people here in our nation, the homeless people right here in America? I do not know. Somebody tells me really what is going on?

From my understanding, I read that the Texas border patrol found 33, yes 33 illegal immigrants packed and a U-Haul with temperatures above 100 degrees, so somebody tells me really what is going on?

I guess many of you may not realize it, but essential freedom of speech is being attacked. God gave us free will. He gave us the ability to speak, and he gave us the ability to challenge, he gave us the ability to defend the weak, he gave us the ability to protect the Widow was he gave us the ability to help those in need. He gave us the power of free speech, not man.

That is why I said that I would have somebody who will try to flip the script on this podcast, but I am a Christian first. I am a Child of God; first, I will go on God's word, not man's words. My prayer is to be a good husband, a good dad, a good Christian leader, a good person, and to do the will of God and follow Jesus wherever he leads me.

We need Jesus here now. We need God back in our nation. I do not say it one more time black was not the only slaves in this world check your history.

That is, if you choose to do so, it is up to you and me the share God's word. And I don't know about you, but I will ask God to give me the strength you continue to share his word his love

I will ask God to give me the strength to continue to pray for our leaders and our nation ask God to provide me with the power to pray for the American people, not just the American people but people of all ethnic group all over the world

I asked God to give me the strength to pray ongoing, I will ask God to let the Holy Spirit dwell upon me and within me and that's God to bless our leaders those that have hearts and stones to give them a heart of Flesh so they may understand.

In Ezekiel 11, God is addressing His people, the Israelites, promising to one day restore them to the land and a right relationship with Himself. God promises to gather the Hebrews from the nations where they had been scattered (Ezekiel 11:17) and give them a new, undivided heart (verse 19). The result of their receiving a new heart will be obedience to God's commands: "Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God" (verse 20). This prophecy will be fulfilled in the millennium when Jesus the Messiah rules from Zion and Israel has been restored to faith (Romans 11:26).

Someone whom God has given a new heart behaves differently.

Saul is an example of this in 1 Samuel 10:1 and 9. God had chosen Saul to be the first king of Israel. Saul was a nobody, but God chose him anyway and sent the prophet Samuel to anoint him, king. "Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul's head and kissed him, saying, 'Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?'" Samuel made several predictions to prove to Saul that God had sent him, and verse 9 says, "As Saul turned and started to leave,

God gave him a new heart, and all Samuel's signs were fulfilled that day." The new heart God gave Saul transformed him from an average nobody to the king of Israel. Not only was his status changed, but his entire outlook was transformed by the power of God.

The human heart was created to mirror God's own heart (Genesis 1:27; James 3:9). We were designed to love Him, love righteousness, and walk-in harmony with God and others (Micah 6:8). But part of God's design of the human heart is free will. That free will carries with it the opportunity to abuse it, as did Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:11).

God desires that we choose to love and serve Him. When we stubbornly refuse to follow God, our hearts, which were designed to communicate with God, are hardened. God compares rebellious hearts to stone (Zechariah 7:12).

A heart of stone finds it impossible to repent, to love God, or to please Him (Romans 8:8). The hearts of sinful humanity are so hardened that we cannot even seek God on our own (Romans 3:11), and that's why Jesus said no one could come to Him unless the Father first draws him (John 6:44). We desperately need new hearts, for we are unable on our own to soften our hard hearts. A change of heart toward God requires a supernatural transformation. Jesus called it being "born again" (John 3:3). what going on? Many Leaders Gave In to Radicals and Gave Up on Common Sense blessings-in-Christ.
