Glory to God in the highest Luke 2:14

14 “Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

Even the Heavenly Hosts Declared the Sovereignty of God, peace on earth would rest on those according to God the Father's Good pleasure and Favor, not on everyone, but according to God the Father's great joy and Love for those whom He chooses to reveal His Son, and wouldn't you know it, if you hear the message of Christ's birth and you believe on Him with all your heart, that you would be a part of the Whomsoever! For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whomsoever believes on Him will not perish but have everlasting life" May God the Father's Favor rest on you and grant you peace as you believe on Christ with all your heart that He is God, The Son of God, and Lord and God raised Him from the dead--Indeed, ascribing Christ the worship as the Second person of the trinity and believing in Him will indeed grant you great peace with God, now and forevermore, onward and forward through all Eternity!

"But when The fullness of Time Came"

‎4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, Galatians 4:4

"But when The fullness of Time Came" What a wonderful statement, here is the convergence of God the Father's predetermined Plan before the foundation of the World, converging, being revealed, realized and touching down in History of the revealing of His Divine will in bringing forth His only Begotten Son. The fullness of time depicts God's chosen and acceptable time in His foreordained plan and purpose to bring forth His Son! What great joy God the Father has in bringing forth His Son in the fullness of time--Indeed fullness and exciting time of great joy and praise!

The fullness of time came that I may be saved and be rescued from my sin of breaking the Law, that I may delivered from the curse of breaking the Law and have Christ's righteousness unto Eternal life by believing and placing my trust in the fullness of time!

I can see only dimly in my finite self, the great joy and eager desire and excitement of God the Father's Divine will revealed and displayed in bringing forth His only begotten Son in the fullness of time!

Divinity Clothed in Humanity At Jesus Birth! Awesome Miracle!

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger" Luke 2:7

Not only was Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloths and placed in a Manger at His birth, but He was wrapped in the Glory of His Divine nature! While a babe in the Manger, He was holding the very atoms of the Universe together! What Glory! Holy night

Colossians 1:15-17

 ¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by God’s Sovereign Hand! Psalm 139-13-17

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by God’s Sovereign Hand! Psalm 139-13-17

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!

How vast is the sum of them!

I am truly awestruck by God’s Sovereign Hand of Creation; even to the details of my skin cells. He not only saw my unformed substance, He ordained out of nothing to be formed into my life, Joseph Valentini; my looks, size and stature—all ordained by God’s Sovereign Hand of Mercy and Grace! And did He ever, in the Secret Counsel of His Holy will, preordained and predetermined that I should believe on His only begotten Son for Eternal Salvation, to be conformed and change from this spiritually dead person to be made alive and changed into the beautiful glory of the image of Christ! Wow! I could not plan such a blessed end and Eternal beginning in Christ!

Here is the thrust of my thought: God made everyone to have eyes, a nose, mouth, ears, chin, lips and a face, and yet in the details of His Sovereign Created order, are we ever so unique and different from each other! Such details of His Sovereign Creation predetermined before the foundation of the world of how we would even look, blows my mind, and to think the Angels of His beloved children beholds their faces before the throne of God everyday! His watch care is ever so wonderful and glorious where can I flee from His presence! Indeed, I would not even want to flee from His glorious presence.

God’s Favor in the Law is found realized in Christ!

God’s Favor in the Law is found realized in Christ!

Here is something to also ponder: God's favor in the Law revealed God's perfection and Holiness of who our God is, and like a mirror shows us God's Glory and our unworthiness and UN-holiness before our Holy God; thus, condemns us for our sinfulness and departure from the Holiness of God's presence. The Law was powerless to make me holy. But Jesus is all powerful to make me perfect without sin, to be conformed to the image of Christ. Praise be to God! that in His only begotten Son--Jesus, Did God's favor ever rest and in His life was his perfection credited to my account through faith! And in Him, does the reflection of God in the Mirror become a reality in my life, as I am being made more into the image and likeness of Christ day by day through the Holy Spirit! While the Law is my mirror to show me the reflection of God's holiness and my own sinfulness and unworthiness; Jesus on the other hand, is my reality, not just a reflection and glimmer, but the reality of His resurrected life transforming me into His image and likeness. I praise God for Christ who delivered me from the curse and made me alive according to God the Father's predetermined will!


Romans 8: 1-4
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

"Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For, if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe" Gal 3:21-22

The awareness of Jesus’ presence in my life: Proverbs 1:7

The awareness of Jesus’ presence in My life:

Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline"

"The Lord be with you" is no empty sentence, The Lord be with you is true, are you with Him? Are you aware He is with you...in everything you do, especially in Repenting and Claiming His blood to cleanse you!

To discover the reigning presence of the Lord in the details of your life; is to discover the reality of His living Resurrected presence in your life; it is also, to discover that He is a friend who knows you and stick closer than a brother; it is to discover that He is intimately acquainted with all your ways, and that He is not foreign or a stranger to the situations and details in your life; and it is truly to find that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom!

Glance intently on Christ's Glory in you; And Glance dimly on the quest for human glory

The craving for human glory controlling us over Christs glory results in glancing dimly in seeking the glory of Christ; only to glance too intently on human glory, and in doing so, the outcome of deferring to the rich and powerful over others not recognized with such esteem.

I am reminded of Proverbs 23:1-5

"When you sit to dine with a ruler

Note well what[a] is before you,

2 and put a knife to your throat

if you are given to gluttony.

3 Do not crave his delicacies,

for that food is deceptive.

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;

have the wisdom to show restraint.

5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,

for they will surely sprout wings

and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

At the moment of Prayer in temptation, do we find relief from temptation

At the moment of Prayer in temptation, do we find relief from temptation.

Failure to pray in temptation results in being overcome by temptation, and how the Devil delights in that stronghold over us. But in saying, "no" in temptation and praying to God do we find the power of God strengthening us in temptation and does the devil ever flee and vanish from our presence when we submit to God in prayer in temptation--then we find true relief and victory over temptation as we resist and pray!

When thinking of Jesus in the wilderness--Did he ever submit to His heavenly Father in prayer in temptation. And It is not so much the temptation, He was tempted like us in everyway being 100% human, but He was without sin! However, in our old self there is the desire and craving to be tempted to sin that lingers through out our life. And the Devil seizes to use that to draw us away from God. But when the day of evil comes, and it will always surely approach with vengeance, we indeed, must be ever so vigilant to fight and pray—the more we pray, we can have confidence that he will flee away, until he seizes the next opportunity to attack. My Concern is this, sometimes we are so numb and paralyzed that we do not Pray in temptation; we try to handle it in our own strength, and as a result we always fall.

James 4:6-7

6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”[a]

7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Every No! In Temptation, is a step closer to greater Victory in Christ’s Resurrection!

Every No! In Temptation, is a step closer to greater Victory in Christ’s Resurrection!

Every, "No!" in temptation is a step closer in sharing in the Victory of Christ's Resurrection in your life; and a brighter path into the entrance of the Kingdom of His beloved Son!



1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."



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

The chief end of Prayer is to become like Jesus and Rest in his All sufficiency Psalm 23; Philippians 4:6

All my needs and Wants are Met Only in Knowing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

The chief end of the natural man who lives by basic instinct in this life will not be in pursuit of God in prayer, will not seek God, but if he does seek God in Prayer, it is for his own purposes that he may received from God's hands that which is sacred and spend it on his own pleasures. Such a man-centered view of God, relegates God to be your servant, as if he was your servant to do your bidding and give you the material things that you want. SUch a man centered view approaches God with demands of your will on what you want and how you expect God to answer your prayer, in your way and in your timing and on your terms and conditions. And when there is no answer to your prayer in the outcome of what you want--Oh! How will your heart then rage against the Lord.

The chief end of the new man--the spiritual man, in pursuing God in prayer is to seek to be conformed and changed in the image and likeness of Christ; the chief end of the beliver is to seek to know Christ and the power of His Resurrection; It is to seek to be drawn closer to Christ in your relationship to Him and to Love Him more and cry out to God your Father; it is to be drawn to your heavenly Father to cry out to Him, "Abba, Father" to know that He Loves you in His Son and to find in Him your full sufficiency; it is to know that the chief end and aim in Prayer, is to find that you rest and peace are found in Him; it is to discover that "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want..." Because in Him alone is your Chief end to glorify in your life and Him Alone! Based on His terms, will and directions and for His Glory Only!

How we need to find that your relationship to your Heavenly Father, is the greatest want in this life that can never be replaced with the material and natural things in this life.

Just like Judas Kiss: You Cannot Serve Two Masters! Matthew 6:24

Just like Judas Kiss!

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Hate the one---Who is the One? but God. Love the other-- is the pursuit of riches and wealth and pleasures in this life. Or Be devoted to The One and despise the other--Money

It looks like you can fill in the blanks both ways, take a look:

No one can serve two masters: Either, he will hate God and love the pursuit of Riches, or be devoted to God and despise the pursuit of riches. or you can also turn it around, and view Jesus' words this way:
No one can serve two masters: Either, he will hate the pursuit of riches and Love God, or be devoted to the pursuit of riches and despise God"

Either you will pursue your devotion to God, or you will ignore God and despise God and obeying His word; to follow your selfish, self-centered pursuits. If you are devoted to the later, then what will you do when He says to you, "Depart from me, I never knew you!

The Content of your character ISamuel 16:7

The Content of your character I Samuel 16:7

"But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” I Samuel 16:7

Martin Luther King Jr. in his “I have a dream speech”, said, “…I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

His emphasis was focused on the importance of his children living in a nation with upright character; and that the nation, in turn would not base their importance on their appearance and the color of their skin. Nonetheless, during his time the nation in this world of darkness was flawed and did, and still does judge a person on their appearance and the color of their skin—Even if you are black, white, Hispanic, Mexican, Asian, Indian etc…

Though that nation, being flawed in judging certain people on the basis of their appearance and the color of their skin; Martin Luther King Jr. still placed emphasis and importance for his children to have content of character in light of a nation whose flawed judgment of people was based and treated according to a person’s appearance. For he knew that to mold his children with righteous content of character would overflow out into a nation of darkness that the light of good content of character would over flow in a just perspective to view people as being made in the image of God.


The content of a person’s character must be rooted and seated in the person of Christ ruling your heart. If it is not rooted in Christ, then the content of ones character will be flawed, seated and rooted in the natural self and the world forces of this dark age, where people do and judge people by their appearance and the color of their skin. Regardless of the color, race wars will be predominate in this world of darkness as the heart is ruled by the heart of darkness.

The content of Jesus character is first of all pure, Love, full of joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control—when the content of your character is full of the life of Christ then your being will extrude the full measure of the character and content of Christ Jesus’ nature! Then you will learn the blessed truth of loving your neighbor as yourself, and treating others how you would like to be treated, loving others as being made in the image of God.

God is there in the Midst of Fears! Judges 6:12

Fears may come, though great they may be, but Remember God is there to Save you and me!

Judges 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.”

Fears may come, though great they may be, but Remember God is there to Save you and me, So let me say one more time, to believe on Christ Jesus and be delivered from your Crime! For through the Death and Resurrection of His Son, is the only way to be delivered and have an enduring run!

And Thank you, Lord for giving me the poetry of your epoch time! In doing so I have learned to Ryhme!

The Favor of God reaches us in His Son Romans 5:20-21:

Romans 5:20 "The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

The Favor of God reaches us in His Son:
God's favor never actually reaches us through the Law, because in our own efforts we always fall Short of the Favor of God offered to us in the Law. The favor of God offered to Jesus in the Law, reached Jesus because He was sinless and perfectly obeyed the law. Hence, the Favor of God reaches us Through His only begotten Son; Indeed, His Grace reaches in Jesus' righteousness

Nothing to Fear in Life at All! Revelation 1:17-18

In Franklin D Roosevelts first inaugural address he said, “The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” March 4, 1933

But to those who are in Christ, have nothing to fear at all! The apostle John recorded what Jesus said to him after He Saw Christ in His Glory, and when Jesus placed His right hand on John, Jesus Said in Revelation 1:17-18 "Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
In Franklin D Roosevelts first inaugural address he said, “The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” March 4, 1933


But to those who are in Christ, have nothing to fear at all!

The apostle John recorded what Jesus said to him after He Saw Christ in His Glory,  "Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. Revelation 1:17-18

Since the greatest fear in life is death; Since the greatest fear of death has been conquered by Jesus in His death and Resurrection, then there is no more fear in life at all, for Jesus Conquered the Grave in His Resurrection. Do you have fear in life? Trust in Christ who conquered Death, and all your fears will diminish away, in the Joy of knowing Christ and the power of His Resurrection!

Do you have fear in life? Trust in Christ who conquered Death, and all your fears will diminish away, in the Joy of knowing Christ and the power of His Resurrection!

Not for Man to know the Epochs; but to repent and daily be ready!

Acts 1:7-8
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Matthew 24: 36-51
36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.

... 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

It is not up to thoughts; nor Scheme; nor Device; nor numerology of Man, but up to God's will and timing. The real question; are you ready to meet your maker if some unforeseen accident, or calamity, or Tornado should strike you and cut your life short?

We can be so earthly preoccupied wanting to set up our own kingdom on earth; that in the authority of man centered thinking we try to figure out the times, seasons and date of the end times and Jesus' return. Yes, the Father has fixed the times and Epochs, and in his Authority and Sovereign will, it will be ushered in and Jesus will make all things new bringing in the new Heaven and earth.

What is that to you? Make a difference today, by focusing your attention to follow Him today through the power of the Holy Spirit.

But forget about trying to figure out the exact dates and times using numbers and speculations. But rather, concern yourself with being Faithful to His call in your life and rely on his grace to get to know Him now!

Readiness in light of Christ’s Second Coming—though there be delay, be ready!

The Wicked are Discarded like Dross Psalm 119:119

The Wicked are Discarded like Dross Psalm 119:119

115 Away from me, you evildoers,
that I may keep the commands of my God!
116 Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.
118 You reject all who stray from your decrees,
for their deceitfulness is in vain.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
therefore I love your statutes.
120 My flesh trembles in fear of you;
I stand in awe of your laws.


The Lord will allow the tares to grow up with the wheat. This is God’s Farm land and He is the Farmer who tends the fields. The wicked will dwell on the earth with the righteous, but only temporarily; once they have filled up the full cup of their wickedness and there is no more hope of repentance; The Lord will discard them like dross! Who will He discard like dross? But those who reject Christ and are self-seeking their own interests in this life. Who are the righteous? But thsoe who trust in Christ for salvation.

Once the dross is discarded you have the pure silver or gold shinning through. And that day will be for all eternity for those whom the Lord has chosen to be purified by the refiner’s fire.

And that, it’s purity will remain in the land, no more dross no more wickedness! Only those who are clothed with Wedding cloths will enter into the banquet. Those who do not have wedding clothes will be cast into the outer darkness where there will be wailing and gnashing of the teeth, and the smoke of their torment will rise forever.

In the meantime, the wicked do dwell amongst the righteous, only for the righteous to be refined and purified in the midst of the wicked, by the blood of Christ.

True riches in Knowing Christ in my life Philippians 3:7-8

True riches in Knowing Christ in my life Philippians 3:7-8

Lord, I would not trade knowing you in my life, for the riches, or wealth of this world! Gold, silver, jewels and abundant wealth in this life, can never compare to knowing you, Jesus, everyday of my life.

So I can be a guest at a royal wedding; and view all the riches and opulence, and turn to it and despise the covet tempter; and Then, turn to Jesus, and say, "Lord, I do not want this", I am glad I have you and I know you, thank you, for being with me."

Philippians 3:7-8 7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

Proverbs 3:13-18
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

Love God with all your Life! Mark 12:29

And I am reminded of Jesus' words, regarding the greatest Commandment:
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Vince Lombardi said,"There's only one way to succeed in anything and that is
to give everything." - Vince Lombardi
And did Jesus ever give everything--Indeed He gave His life! and succeeded in doing so, by Rising from the Grave!

Do you want to succeed in God's Eternal Kingdom? Give your life, by dieing to Self, and Confessing with your mouth that Jesus is God, and believe in your Heart that God the Father raised Him from the Dead, and indeed, you shall be saved and succeed forever in God's eternal Kingdom and have Eternal Life in the name of the only begotten Son of God!

Getting Old, Yet God never Changes! Hebrews 13:8

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
1 Timothy 1:17 "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."

God is all sufficient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient! Immutable, unchangeable, immortal, His Love is eternal!
Man is ever changing from young to old! How many times have I heard it said, it is hard getting old. But God is ever Unchanging! It gives me great peace and strength to know I can worship God even as I get old and fade away, for He remains the same-- ever unchanging!

Yet God never changes! What a blessed assurance to rely on our ever--unchanging Creator for Eternal life in His Son, even as I fade away in this life!

I am in Awe of God's unchanging Nature. Immutable,unchangeable,immortal,the only wise God be honor and glory forever and ever!

The Fading Glory of Man:
Man’s glory is like the flowers of the field; their glory fades in the changing of the seasons. Their victories, their fame, their fortunes, their award ceremonies all fade into the back ground of black and white, of faded print and picture. The colors of the picture dimly shine and the print fades to white and gets drowned out in white, till you can barely see the once was: fame and glory.

A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8

How We need to Seek Him Always--He is there Mighty to Save! Psalm 37 Philippians 4:4-7

31Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength;They will mount up with wings like eagles,They will run and not get tired,They will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 43:31

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


Psalm 37:23-24 (King James Version)

23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him. Psalm 37

How many times in Scripture does it say Wait on the Lord! Yet, in our haste we make waste and error in our ways. Why is it that we always go to the Lord as a last resort for help! We should go to Him as a first resort for help!

He wants us to go to Him, everyday, all the time, every circumstance of our day, cry out to Him for mercy! He is there to help us, He loves us and wants to deliver us! He delights to helps us in time of need. Indeed, He has no greater joy, in that He delights to glorify Himself in us through His Son, He will never leave us or forsake us! He was deligted to make His name known in me! And He has great Joy when we cry out to Him, Abba, Father!

Yet, we try in our own means and efforts to deliver ourselves, and we make even more of a mess of our situations--O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer! what a Friend we have in Jesus!

The bottom line, when we try in our own efforts and strength, and act as if God has abandoned us, we walk in Idolatry that are useless for us, that cannot do us any good or rescue us, because they are useless idols of our strength.

I Samuel 12:20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. 21 Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. 22 For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own. 23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right

God is indeed near, He was with the Israelites as they traveled from tent to tent, and the Ark of the Covenant traveled with them from Tent to Tent! God is near and stronghold to help in time of need!

There is always time of need in my life. I will wait upon the Lord in time of need, and Indeed! Find that He truly answers with great strength and peace! All because in time of need I took the time to wait upon the Lord and regain new strength and peace! And He answered my prayer beyond all I can ask or imagine!

Rejoice that your name is found written in the Lambs book of life Luke 10:20

"However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20

Rejoice that your name is found written in the Lambs book of life
The bottom line, there is rejoicing in the Streets of OBL's death, in the physical realm. In the Spiritual Realm, we all must give an account of ourselves before God, and deliverence from Eternal Judgement for all who believe, is found in believing in Christ for Salvation. Everyone must check themselves to be sure there standing is firm before God, by trusting in Christ for Salvation John 3:16 Then rejoicing is seen in our names found written in the Lambs book of life. Luke 10:20.

If we rejoice, we ought to rejoice that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven and that our names are written in the Lamb's book of life (Luke 10:20). Rejoice that all things here will pass away and one day there will be no more need for armies and warfare.

God's Loving Character will always Shine through! Matthew 27:46

After all the questions in life, God's Loving Character will always Shine through! At the moment, our limited understanding may be blind to His presence--Jesus, when He cried on the cross,"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me" Did not accuse the Father of "behaving badly." Questions will be there to ponder, only for us to patiently wait for God's answer; in the end, God's loving Character will always shines through in our lives as we trust in Him!

But I see the premise where people are full of questions, even myself ...at times, as to How God intervenes, leads and direct his people according to His will. And Jesus on the cross, indeed, asked that question as He was enduring the pain and suffering for the penalty of my sin; Yet in the end, we can rejoice in His perfect and Holy will to the outcome and unfolding of His will revealed in History, even as Job did! We can have a questioning heart if our understanding is limited to the actions and providence of God in our life, and in the lives of the OT people; and some people may believe God to be arbitrary, capricious,ruthless, unfair in their eyes; but to say, Hence, "bad Behavior" is wrongly applied and concluded--if we have a limited knowledge and understanding to how God is moving in our lives, because it may go against our concept of fairness, it is not in our place to dishonor God with that label--Look at Job, through all his sufferings He never cursed God as Evil, behaving badly--he did not listen to his wife. In the end, God's Loving Character Shines!Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He saw the outcome and travail of His sufferings and Has great joy in bringing many sons and daughters to glory

God is loving toward all His creatures Psalm 2:12

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.[b]
3 “Let us break their chains,” they say,
“and throw off their fetters.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my King[c]
on Zion, my holy hill.”

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:

He said to me, “You are my Son[d];
today I have become your Father.[e]
8 Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will rule them with an iron scepter[f];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

God is loving toward all His creatures;yet not all his creatures respond back in a loving way toward God. Especially those who reject Christ in their life and choose to ignore God's loving care for them.

God is Loving toward all governments, Nations, countries and people groups; yet not all governments, nations, countries, and people groups respond back to God in a Loving way, especially in their governance,they surpress the truth of God's word to enact laws that reject the rule and Governance and Authority of Christ in their life.

When you bite God's hand that feeds you, what will you do in the end when His wrath is unleashed against you?

The Right Attitude in Mind Romans 12:1-3

The Right Attitude in Mind Romans 12:1-3
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer 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

When you have the right attitude in mind; you will have a right life and walk on a right path of life.
When you have the attitude of Christ in your mind, you will walk like Christ in your life.

Living in Light of Accountability John 5:28-30

Living in Light of Accountability John 5:28-30

²⁸ “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice ²⁹ and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. ³⁰ By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

The problem with most people is they often live life as if there is no accountability and no final judgment.

Even though there is a delay in the final judgment in our present state; That still does not mean that the judgment day will not happen. When you live your life with no view of Judgment and accountability, you will hide in the darkness for fear that your deeds will be exposed; trying to scheme, lie, cheat, steal, indulge in immorality and pleasures for a season. Then what will you do when God executes His Judgment in the wine press of His wrath and the Scales of judgment are not in your favor and it begins with your life? Will you stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? Or, will you shrink away and depart in shame and fearful expectation of eternal damnation; where all hope is abandoned and there is no turning back, and it is too late to change and repent, and all hope of change and repentance has run dry, and it is too late, only to rise out of the grave to be condemned? Do you hear the call now? Come out of the Darkness, right now! and Trust in Christ for that final day of Judgment!

When you live in light of accountability and knowing that there will be the Judgment seat of Christ, then you are living in the fear of the Lord and you will come out in the light today, and let Christ expose your helplessness to sin and unrighteousness; that you may plead the mercy and forgiveness of Christ in His blood to be delivered from eternal condemnation, death, destruction and torment. Then you will live pleading God’s mercy to keep you on the straight and narrow, in hopes of daily repentance, in hopes of daily sanctification to change today through the power and vivification of the Holy Spirit!

The Spirit of Christ will not let you go; He will pierce your ears to listen to Him today, and will hold you accountable today, that your deeds be exposed and true repentance and accountability be met in you today; leading to a confident stand in the work of God's grace and Sanctification before the Throne of Christ. That you may stand on the day of Judgment and you will enjoy bodily resurrection to live and enter into the Joy of your Master, the joy of your salvation, into perpetual state of the eternal light of the joy of Christ and rise to live unto eternal life forever with Him..

God is greater than what meets our Eye! Mark 12:24-25

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise...," Mark 12:24-25

Jesus did say to those who did not believe in a bodily resurrection... They didn't believe, because of their self-centered interpretation of Scripture and limited view of their knowledge of God. Limited view, because they based their knowledge of God not on the whole counsel of God's inerrant word, but based their knowledge on their limit view of Scripture and tried to come to knowledge of God through their own reasoning and understanding, and efforts apart from what Scripture teaches--Hence, they concluded there is no bodily resurrection.

Such a teaching went against the grain of their reasoning and philosophy in man centered limited thinking and according to what met their eye and what they believed was agreeable to the law of physics, that a Human cannot be raised bodily. So, they had a limited view of Scripture and the power of God to raise the dead--Unbelief in the Resurrection.

Unlike Abraham who believed God and it was credited to him as righteous, even though he was old and Sarah's womb was barren and of old age, Abraham believed that God would give him a son through Sarah.

Jesus did say, "When the dead rise..." Jesus establishes the Truth and Fact of the bodily Resurrection of the Dead, not just all the dead, but the dead who die in the Lord--God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Those who die without Christ will be bodily raised to eternal physical torment.

God is greater than what meets our eye! Know that the power of God is greater than anything your eyes can see and experience in this life today!

Though the pressures of life and hardship of life may seem greater in our eyes—this must never blind us to the greatness and power of God; mighty to deliver!

what we go through will never compare to the greatness and power of God to deliver us in the promise of the hope of our Bodily Resurrection in Christ.

Humanity in the Midst of Divinity is seen in "I Thirst" John 19:28-29

Humanity in the Midst of Divinity John 19-28-29
28 Jesus knew that by now everything had been completed; and in order to make the scripture come true, he said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A bowl was there, full of cheap wine; so a sponge was soaked in the wine, put on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted up to his lips. 30 Jesus drank the wine and said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Jesus was not only fully Divine that He saw Andrew under the Tree. He is also fully human that He said,” I am thirsty,” after 6 hours of hanging on the Cross! He is not a God far removed from our Pain and suffering, but He is with us knowing the pain and suffering we experience in our human limitations; because He experienced such Human limitations and frailty, pain and suffering all at once as He endured the pain and suffering on the Cross, despising its Shame! Just as Moses experienced the glory of God in the midst of the burning bush; God was in the midst of the burning bush, He was not far removed from it. He was in the midst of Israel’s pain and suffering when He called Moses to lead His people out of the bondage of Egypt. Even so, Jesus’ Pain was central in His body as He suffered on the cross, after 6 hours! Did He then say, “I am Thirsty”—He truly emptied Himself of all His life to be the source and ever quenching fountain of Eternal life to all who would believe on Him! Just think, the everlasting fountain of life, was emptied of life and thirsted on the cross, in order to become the source of Everlasting life for all who would believe on Him—He was emptied of His own human resource, that His body had need for Hydration, but in His Divine Nature is He ever the everlasting fountain of life to all who would believe on Him!
Shawn Brix on April 12, 2011, Writes in today’s Devotional, concerning Christ’s Humanity and Divinity on the Cross:
In this statement Jesus expressed a need so human that anyone could have said it: “I am thirsty.” Of all the needs of the human body, water is one of the most basic. More than 60 percent of the human body is water! As we become dehydrated, our blood vessels and other cells literally begin to dry up.
By the time Jesus spoke these words from the cross, he had already been hanging there for more than six hours, and his body was becoming parched. Foreshadowing this moment, Psalm 22:15 says, “My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.”
A bruised, beaten man nailed to a cross and murmuring through cracked lips, “I am thirsty,” is not what most of us picture when we think of God. But these details remind us of a great truth. At the center of the Christian faith is not a remote and distant God who lives beyond human pain. At the core of our faith is a person who is not only fully divine but is also fully human— indeed, human enough to be thirsty.
“I am thirsty.” These words remind us that “the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14).

Deliverance from Death is found in Christ Alone! Proverbs 11:4

"Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. "Proverbs 11:4

You can have all the wealth in the world, but if you do not have the wealth and riches of the Righteousness of Christ in your life, then you have nothing! Wealth cannot deliver you from Death--Deliverance from Death is found in Christ Jesus alone!

In this life, I cannot rest in the lap of luxury if my heart is not resting in God's Grace Proverbs 23:1-8 Psalm 49:11

Psalm 49: 11-14
The Folly of Trusting in Riches.
11Their inner thought is that their houses are forever
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have called their lands after their own names.
12But man in his pomp will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.
13This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.
14As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume
So that they have no habitation.
.

The fleeting deception of riches. Living in the lap of luxury is a deceiving pursuit.
People live as if riches and luxury will never leave them, as if it is always there. But the shocking reality is it is a temporary existence under the sun, in comparison to time and eternity; here today and gone tomorrow. Rest content in the lap of luxury will only end up in a restless unsatisfied eternal existence.

The law of my being, is the pursuit of Knowing God, and I will only rest content, when I find permanancy in the presence of the Lord forever. In this life, I cannot rest in the lap of luxury if my heart is not resting in God's Grace.

Psalm 23:6 "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. "


Proverbs 23
1 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well what[a] is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies,
for that food is deceptive.

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

6 Do not eat the food of a stingy man,
do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is the kind of man
who is always thinking about the cost.[b]
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten
and will have wasted your compliments

There is no Greatness in Me John 3:30

John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease.

Colossians 1:27 "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."


New International Version 1984, ©1984 (NIV1984)

There is no Greatness in Me!

There is no greatness in me, except for the Greatness of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God taking residence in me through the Holy Spirit! There is no greatness in my life, except for the Greatness of Christ living through me. There is no greatness in my glory, except for the greatness of Christ being glorified in me!

If not governed by the Truth of Scripture, then you will be governed by Perversion!

If not governed by the Truth of Scripture, then you will be governed by Perversion!
We Must Be Governed by the Truth of Scripture! Romans 1:18

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, Romans 1:18

If we are not governed by the truth, then you cannot and will not enjoy the blessings of God’s creation the way God purposed and planned all things to be enjoyed.

When you ignore the truth of Scriptures to rule your heart and mind through the governance and rule of the Spirit of Christ upon your heart; then all the blessing of creation that surround you, even the blessing of how you are created by God, will be abused and perverted to obey wicked lusts that pervert the truth of God’s creation, and you won't enjoy it fully the way God intended. It will be perverted to the point of limited functionality, away from God’s purpose and intention of Creation to be fully enjoyed and applied in life.

If we are not governed by the truth of Scripture and the rule and direction of the Holy Spirit, then you will be governed by perversion and a lie!As you suppress the truth you will see the blessings of God's creation dimly and dark with limited sight to His blessings.

Refocus on Jesus!

Refocus on Jesus!

How in our natural self, we have the tendency to take our eyes off of Christ being so concerned how others are following him--in this instance; it is time to refresh, refocus and redirect your charge and calling to follow Jesus personally in your life, regardless how others follow. John 21:22

Jesus' words to Peter, are his words to me and every believer--What is that to you?"

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”

All sufficiency for all Eternity!!!

All sufficiency for all Eternity!!!

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. Revelation 1:5-6

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin. I John 1:7

There is a fountain that will never run Dry, for all eternity! Indeed it is Christ's shed blood, and to drink from this fountain means I am cleansed and set free from my sins. It is such a cleansing fountain, that I can walk in a robe of white, that may Saviour provided for me!

Indeed, there is no other way! Jesus said it, I am the way the Truth and the Life, no one can come to the Father except through me" John 14:1, and no one can get rid of their sins except through Christ's Shed Blood and His Shed Blood Alone! His Blood Paid my Ransom in full; It was enough and sufficient for my life, and not only my life, but for every Child of God who has been granted Faith to believe in Him--All sufficiency for all Eternity!!! no matter the effort or great works that you do, you will always fall short of God's Glory. You cannot add to what He has done! Charles Spurgeon: "Either He bore all our sins, or none; and He either saves us once for all, or not at all."
I rest my case in the Eternal Son of GOD,in Him alone! there is no one else that will ever do!

The Fading Glory of Man Isaiah 40:6-8

The Fading Glory of Man:
Man’s glory is like the flowers of the field; their glory fades in the changing of the seasons. Their victories, their fame, their fortunes, their award ceremonies all fade into the back ground of black and white, of faded print and picture. The colors of the picture dimly shine and the print fades to white and gets drowned out in white, till you can barely see the once was: fame and glory.

A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:27

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Philippians 3:20-21

I am broken with tears welling in my eyes! He will transform my lowly body to be like His glorious body—yet there is one difference, Jesus’ glorified body bears the marks of my redemption in His shed blood, His nail scarred hand and feet, His pierced side; just think, for all eternity I will be in the light of His joy in perfection and Holiness, and Christ for All eternity will have in His body the marks of my salvation. God the Son will have a scarred glorified body, but it will be scarred on my behalf for my Salvation, His hands, His feet and His pierced side—I cannot comprehend such unselfish love. I am undeserving of being transformed into the likeness of His glorified body, humbled and broken for all eternity that Christ should choose to have His glorified body scarred for all eternity--Incomprehensible! Humbling! Undeserving! Yet the Eternal Son of God in His Great Love for me, Chose to have His Glorified body Scarred for all Eternity, while I walk without Scars!

Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone! Romans 3:19-26

Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone! Romans 3:19-26
.by Joseph Valentini on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 12:29am.Moved to Repentance by the promise of God's Grace in Christ alone!

The purpose of the 10 Commandments was to show every person how utterly sinful and helpless we are; if we broke one commandment we broke it all. It was not given to earn our salvation, but it was given to render us helpless to perfectly obey it. Our repentance comes by God’s Grace in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:20 "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin."

John Calvin Said regarding the Grace of God and repentance: we are moved to repentance not by the threat of God’s law but by the promise of his grace. The threat of the law will only make us run from God, unless we know that he will receive us when we turn back to him in repentance.

“21 But now righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:21-24

The comfort of God’s Providential Care, not left to Chance!

The comfort of God’s Providential Care, not left to Chance!

Luke 12:6-7
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

Amen! God's providence truly means comfort for me; no matter the circumstance, indeed always to draw us closer to Christ! Indeed even the littlest detail of our life did not happen by chance! God is so great that even the littlest detail of our lives was directed by his providential will! The problem with the hardened hearts of some is that they do not see God in the details of their life, but rather chalk it up to chance. Oh, what a pitiful existence! To not see the comfort of God's divine Grace and providential care.

True Spirituality found in God’s Mercy, how can anyone Boast!

True Spirituality found in God’s Mercy, how can anyone Boast!

“He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:5

It is not the achievements of man, not the dedication, not the devotion, not the persecution, not the suffering that makes one righteous, but my righteousness is found in Christ’s righteousness alone, according to God’s mercy and Grace that brings me to the throne of Grace and the nearness of my God.

My sense of closeness to God is not based on any efforts in me, nor is it based on comparison with another, so as to judge them as beneath me; for I am the lowest of all lows and most wretched, who can save me from this heart of unrighteousness? Thanks, be to God! through the Lord Jesus Christ;` my standing before the throne of Grace is sure and I delight in the Closeness of my heavenly Father. Therefore, there is no boasting in my natural self, and to that matter, in comparison to others, but my boast is found in Christ’s perfection and Holiness.

So a work of righteousness that judges others and compares oneself to others, is no righteousness at all! Where is boasting? There is none, I sacrifice it to my Lord.

And how I remember Christ’s words to me:
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye Matthew 7:1-5

The Eyes of God Are Everywere Proverbs 15:3

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere:

"The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good." Proverbs 15:3

There are those who live there life in the hardness of heart that they do not acknowledge the presence of God, and live ignoring God’s presence.
The problem with people today is they refuse to acknowledge their benevolent Creator involved in the details of their life.

The Problem with people today, is they do not think that the Lord sees the details of there life in whatever they do. They think that God is so far removed from them that they are blind to the intrinsic details of which God pays close attention to in their life. Hence, there blindness and daily declaration, “what does it matter, God does not see” yet it escapes there notice that the Seeing Eye of God (which is found in His Very Nature of Omniscience and omnipresence), will hold every person accountable for there actions. His Seeing Eye provides more detail than today’s technology of Video recording and picture taking.

"Though God's fingerprints are all over Creation, it is easy for us to ignore his presence. Even people who believe in God can often fall into a pattern of living as though God is nowhere nearby. When God Called Israel out of Egypt to be his people, he made clear that he wanted to dwell in their midst. God's presence meant life would be different for Israel. Their daily routines would be altered to remind them that they belonged to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Because Jesus fulfilled the entire Law the Old Testament(Matthew 5:17-18) Christians today do not need to practice the ceremonial customs that were given to the people through Moses. But in thankfulness for all that God has done for us in Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we practice walking with God by developing habits and routines that help us grow in our awareness of God's presence. "Bill Sytsma
Yet they do not see how far removed they put themselves away from God in the hardness of their hearts. That in their heart they declare there is no God.

They think that they had something to do with there existence without Acknowledging their benevolent Creator. Little do they know that God provides their daily sustenance, he causes the sun to shine on the good and the evil and His rain to fall on both. The difference is that the righteous live to glorify God in their lives and the wicked live to glorify themselves as self sufficient without giving glory to God for the help God provides them; in spite of their suppression of the truth to God’s existence in their lives.

There will be a point to he hardness of mans heart to God, that they will have filled the cup of God’s wrath without any hope of repentance. And in the end, their hearts become so hardened like a hardened criminal that they are so dead only to discover an eternal existence of torment without Christ.

John Gill writes of God’s Omniscience which underscores my point on this passage of Proverbs 15:3:

3. The eyes of the Lord [are] in every place ... Which are expressive of his omniscience, of the full, clear, distinct, and perfect knowledge, which he has of all creatures and things; so that nothing is hid from him, but all open and manifest to him; as they are to Christ the essential Word, Hebrews 4:13; and also of the providence of God with respect to all persons in general, and to his own people in particular; and as he is infinite and immense, omnipresent and in all places of the world, so his omniscience and providence reach everywhere, to places most distant and secret, and to persons in them, who cannot be concealed from him, since he fills heaven and earth, Jeremiah 23:23;

beholding the evil and the good; meaning not evil things and good things, though that is true; the one he beholds with dislike, the other with pleasure; but evil men and good men: he beholds them as from a watch tower, as the word {u} signifies, from above, from heaven, where he is; see Psalm 33:13. By "evil" men may be meant both profane sinners and carnal professors; such as are more openly wicked, and declare their sin, as Sodom, or more secretly so; he sees into all the wickedness there is in their hearts, all their secret devices against his people; the works done by them in the dark, as well as their more open ones; and his eyes are upon all of them, to bring them into judgment at the last day: his eyes are particularly on the proud, to abase them; such as are under a disguise of religion, and have a form of godliness, he has his eyes upon; he sees through all their disguises; he knows on what foot they took up their profession; he discerns between that and true grace; he sees how they retain their lusts with their profession; observes the springs and progress of their apostasy; and will fix his eyes on the man without a righteousness, not having on the wedding garment, and order him into outer darkness. He also beholds "good" men; he sees all their bad things, their sins, and corrects them for them; their good things, their graces, and the exercise of them; their good works, the fruits of his own grace; their weaknesses, and supports and strengthens them; their wants, and supplies them; their persons, and never withdraws his eyes from them: these are on them continually, to protect and defend them; nor will he leave them till he has brought them safe to heaven; see 1 Chronicles 16:9.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:34-36

No one can take away sin except found in Christ and His Shed blood. You can follow all the religions of the world, you can follow radical Muslim beliefs—but redemption and cleansing is found in Christ’s shed blood and Resurrected Life.

If you are not seeking freedom from being a slave to sin, your quest for freedom and democracy is only a temporal and false quest; unless you receive freedom from sin in Christ’s Blood you will always be enslaved to sin. Even though sin may hide its ugly head under the guise of freedom; Man centered philosophy and legalistic religions outside of Christ will never set you free.

Jesus is the only person in History who Died and resurrected from the dead! No other religious figure head, or, leader in history ever conquered the grave and came back to life!

Jesus is the way the truth and life no one can come to the Father except through the Son. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

And if the Son of man shall set you free, you shall be free indeed!
