I Hate it When They

I hate it when they preach that satanic lie of Gods unconditional love. It encourages others to continue to dance with satan all the to Hell instead of repent and avoid eternal damnation. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

And Still Loves Us.

Jesus has seen us at our worst and still loves us. Randy Alcorn

History Records that When

History records that when homosexuality is dominate in society it breaks down the family of which every moral society is based upon. Soon lawlessness, depravity and disease is rampant in that society and it collapses from with in and then conquered from without. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

If you want someone to come to Christ make them desire for Him by seeing your relationship with Him. Joseph- Anthony of Jehovah

But am Ever More Grateful That

I am grateful for the Lords discipline but am ever more grateful that I do not experience His anger. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Good Came From Bad.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster Jeremiah 29:11 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament

Today I needed to take the bus to get some meds for our cat. Unfortunately there was no service because it was a civic holiday ( why does the government get more paid holidays than the working stiff, good use of the tax payer dollars huh? ).

This turned out for good because there was a dollar store in a near by mall so I got the meds cheaper.

As well I stopped into a health provider store and arranged for a new battery for my electric wheel chair. They informed me because I went in today they would order the last one in stock. If I had of gone in a day later there would have been a month long wait for the part.

When I got back home a call was made to the local bike store to ask them if they had a part needed for my bike. When the bike was taken to the store they mentioned how busy they were and it would take a week to repair it. I cried the blues that the bike was needed quickly because of having to get our cats meds and the bike was the only transportation ( which is true ). Then a rush order was put on it and it will be ready tomorrow.

On the way home I stopped at local drug store and a med needed for the cat was on discount and was needed badly ( of course there is still the trip to the vets to get him his medicine that he takes for his epilepsy ).

Don’t you just love the way Jehovah works in way we would never have thought of.

So many times in my life what I thought was an annoyance was a detour to better circumstances. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: I praise You oh most magnificent Jehovah Shammah (Ezekiel 48:35 The LORD Is There ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to always be here with me and guide me to better destinations than I intended to go to. I praise You in the name of He who guided His disciples so well, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you. indeovi vas ( may you live with Jesus in Latin )

Seleh- stop and think about it.

And Then He Shows His

[God] puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness.

The Carnal Mind and a New Mind

George Whitfield, the eighteenth century evangelist, was correct when he said, “If the unregenerate man could enter heaven, he would be so unhappy in heaven, that he would ask God to let him run down to hell for shelter.”

How could the enemies of God sit down at the banquet of the Lamb of God?

Universalism wants us to bury our heads in the sand.

The carnal mind is enmity against God all the time.  So why would such a person ever want to be in God’s holy presence?  It is against everything God is for in His universe.  It sets the world system and all it teaches in opposition to the LORD God.

The carnal mind is a “depraved spirit that is set on those things which are not proper” (Romans 1:28).  How would you know one if you saw it?  Romans 1:29-32 says, “Being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”

It is a dreadful picture of human depravity.  The apostle then declared, “Therefore you have no excuse, every one of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things” (Romans 2:1-2).

There is a day coming when “God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus” (v. 16).  It is not because we do not deserve it.  The Bible testifies that we are all guilty.  “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds” (Romans 2:5-6).

After a detailed presentation of our sins against us in Romans chapter three, the apostle Paul concludes, “But glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God” (Romans 2:10-11).  “You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?” (Romans 2:23).

How many of us have not wished in the depths of our hearts, “Would to God these sins were not forbidden!”  Spurgeon asked, “Who among us has not been so foolish as to desire that there were no God?”

But neither solution makes the problem go away.  We still stand guilty before God.  “Every carnal mind in the world is at enmity against God.”

The carnal mind declares that by our very nature we are the child of evil.  What part of man was affected by the fall?  The entire man, every part of him – every power, every passion is at enmity with God.  You may say, “Oh, Wil, I am not really that bad.”  God says, “The heart is deceitful above all things.”  It is desperately wicked.

Why would any carnal person want to be in the holy presence of a righteous God? It would mean to be guilty and condemned twenty-four hours a day. We would never be able to escape His holy, hot wrath.  Our sense of guilt would always be a state of awareness.

The only solution to the desperate plight of man is to have a new mind and a new heart.  If we have not experienced a change of heart, our carnal mind will always be at enmity against God.

Our thoughts, our decisions, our behaviors all testify that we deserve God’s holy wrath.  Every person born into this world deserves God’s wrath and damnation.

Because we are guilty sinners, God must provide the solution.  Since the carnal mind is at enmity with God, salvation cannot be by any merit on our part.  It must be by God’s grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.  If we are at enmity with God, what merit can we have?  How can we deserve anything from the person we hate?  Therefore, God must step in and rescue us by His grace.

The Spirit of God must lay His hand on you and renew your heart or there is no chance of your entering into heaven.

Jesus Christ can make peace through His blood.  If the Spirit of God has convinced you of your sin as you read this, you can become a new creature, a new person, with a new heart if you will ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior.

By our physical birth we are at enmity with God, but by the new birth we are made His friend.  Our nature must be changed if we are to enter into God’s holy presence.  Here is the most precious promise for every sinner to believe.  “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life” (John 3:14-15).

SELAH! Pause – reflect- just think of that!
