What is the news in the paper's and on News casts? But the reporting on those displaying their foolishness! Proverbs 13:16

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool displays folly. A wicked messenger falls into adversity, But a faithful envoy brings healing.…Proverbs 13:16-17

Everyday when the news is being reported, for the most part, the news gets reported on foolish people always displaying their stupitidity and foolishness, of the consequence of making unwise stupid decisions that simply destroy their very life and family. I am reminded of how people display not only their foolishness and stupidity; but also, a deeper depravity that they are not even aware of; ruling their hearts to death and destruction; unaware of their utter sinfulness before God, who is Holy and will vindicate His justice and Holiness against their sinfulness.
I am reminded of their utter helpless condition, every time a fool displays their folly, their total depravity and how they are dead to God and ruled by the sin cursed self and displaying actions and deeds that violate God's Holy Law unto their eternal cursed condemnation--and they do not even know it! Completely oblivious to their eternal condemnation that awaits them--which is, even abiding upon them now, being dead to God and His Holy presence.
I am also struck with a feeling of deep sorrow and saddness to know of their eternal condition of condemnation of separation from God apart from Jesus Christ.
They are just displaying the delights of the sin cursed self upon them for their destruction and death and they don't even know it!
Our only hope for deliverance to be set free from the bondage of sin and death, is found in the shed blood of Jesus through His Death and Resurrection.

16"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.…John 3: 16-18

It's all put on the scale to measure the weight of the love of Christ in you towards others!

It's all put on the scale to measure the weight of the love of Christ in you towards others!
Philippians 2:1-11, I John 4
The way you treat others is determined by the weight of measure of revealing the attitude of the Love of Jesus Christ to them to the glory of Jesus Christ; or, the lack of attitude of the spirit of the love of Jesus, which does not have a weight of measure of the love of Jesus, because the weights in the measure were not of the nature of the love of Jesus, but of a selfish self-centered nature of pride, arrogance and boasting for the love of self that reveals a judgmental attitude and a condemning spirit that will tip the scale of the Love of Christ in your disfavor; which ends up all for the glory of self and not to the glory of Jesus! Such a measured weight does not result in joyful eternal outcomes, but rather, the fear and expectation of God turning you away in eternal shame and disfavor.
Or, to put it in a more concise, simplified, compact way of wisdom from the Apostle John, how can you say you love God who you cannot see, and yet, hate your brother whom you can see! IJohn 4:20.
Philippians 2:1-11:
1So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,a 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,b being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1 John 4:20:
for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Claim the Blood of Jesus Christ, His Death and Resurrection for victory in life Revelation 1

Revelation 1:4-8:
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:17-18 But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

The victory of Jesus  Christ in His Shed Blood, Death and Resurrection is mine for the taking!
The name it and claim doctrine teaches that if you name your blessings and claim it by faith you can believe your blessings into existence. Hence, prosperity doctrine also arises from this philosophy, the more you give, the more it will make you rich and prosper in this life; the whole teaching is false and shifts a person's faith away from Faith in Jesus, to a faith within in one's own ability and resource, within themselves; to initiate their own resource of blessings, by expressing faith in self and not Faith in Jesus Christ. It also focus' faith in humanistic man centered theology to pursue your own will and material blessings and prosperity apart from the Will of God in Christ Jesus.

The reality, however, for the believer in their life of sanctification, is that the Christian life is a journey that will take the believer on the path that will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death, darkness, afflictions, sickness, sorrow and suffering. Our light and momentary afflictions are temporary; but in the temporary journey on the valley of the shadow of death and darkness, it is a real moment of afflictions and suffering, nonetheless.

The LORD in His sovereignty has appointed for the believer, in His providence, to suffer for the name of Jesus Christ, in this life. The believer will have their trials, afflictions and sufferings and when we are on that journey through the valley of the shadow of death and darkness, it is appointed that we may flee to God for our deliverance to see His Mighty Hand to grant us victory through the valley of the shadow of death and darkness; the trials come, that we may draw near to God, James 4:6-10, the trials come that we may seek hard after God and find His presence with me, that He is with me on the valley of the shadow of death and His comforting presence is with me on the valley of the shadow of death; His rod and staff will comfort me Psalm 23:4, for the joyful outcome of conquering, while journeying through this valley of the shadow of death to overcome and endure through these momentary light and temporary afflictions.

The only faith that I will put my trust in, is not in myself, but in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ; I will call upon His name and will claim His blood for the forgiveness of my sins, and claim His vicarious death and Resurrection for victory and conquering in my life through my personal afflictions. Jesus conquered sin and death on my behalf, His victory was not for His benefit alone, His resurrected Life and conquering power over sin death, the devil and the grave had my personal life in mind; and I will claim the benefits of His shed blood for forgiveness of my sins; His death and Resurrection, for my personal victory over the bondage of the sin cursed self, that I may claim His victory and Resurrected life  for the benefit of Jesus Ruling my heart that His resurrected, victorious, conquering life maybe claimed for a dynamic victorious life in my life; and in Jesus Christ, I name His name and claim His victory for my personal life in the new nature and new self He gave to me through the Holy Spirit in His glorious grace revealing His glory in my life that I may glorify Him through all my trials, afflictions and sufferings.

The bottom line is this: the reality and basis for all fear in life is based on the underlining threat of the constant fear of death in life that we are plagued with; and the sin cursed self is out to put me to destruction and death. Now, since Jesus conquered the greatest fear in life of sin, death and the devil through His shed blood, death and Resurrection, what more is there to fear in life? But nothing! Since the greatest fear of death was vanquished by way of the cross through the shed blood of Christ in His death and Resurrection!

Believers, in the glorious Jesus Christ, are called to live a conquering, victorious life in their sanctification; by faith, in Jesus Christ, claiming their victory in and through Jesus' Shed Blood, Death and Resurrection; His victory is mine for the claiming and claim I will!

Never to live a defeated Christian life--such a view point is a contradiction in terms; if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, then your are to live a conquering, victorious, overcoming, Christian life and witness, in this life, as you journey through the valley of the shadow of death and darkness. For in Christ Jesus, alone, do I have victory for this is God's will for every believer in Christ Jesus, to claim His victory in their personal life of sanctification.

Therefore, I will  name and claim the Blood of Jesus for forgiveness of sins; His Death and Resurrection for a conquering life over sin, the shadow of death and darkness; And His Resurrected life for patient endurance through afflictions, sufferings and various trials that I encounter and will cross my path on my pilgrim journey in my life of sanctification. I say life of sanctification, because I am not presently fully Redeemed; my body is waiting its redemption in the blood of Jesus, awaiting the day, when I will be fully done away with sin, perfected and glorified in the righteousnes of Jesus and made into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, the full redemption of my life in body and soul!

He gave it all, bountiful and free! Proverbs 22:9:

He gave it all, bountiful and free!
Proverbs 22:9:
9 Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

What great bounty does God's eye have, to see me in my poverty and share the eternal bread of life with me, even His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ! What great bounty is God the Father's eye to see my helpless condition to spare not the bounty of the eternal wine of the shed blood of His only begotten Son for the forgiveness of my sins! His bountiful eye never turned a blind eye to my helpless estate! But He gave bountifully never to withhold a crumb from the eternal bread of Life, not one drop of wine from the eternal Blood of Jesus Christ--but He so loved the world that He gave!--bountifully, fully and freely His, only! Begotten Son, did He give freely, when there was nothing more that He could give, YHWH gave His very being, in His only begotten Son! The Almighty God of the universe, gave all the richness of the universe, infinitely, bountifully and free, there was nothing more He could give, but gave all the glory of Heaven--even His own great glory for me! John 3:16! He gave Him up, when there was nothing more He could give, He gave it all up that I may share in the bounty to become a partaker of All He gave for me, even His only begotten Son, there was nothing and no one else that could be given, but did He give His only begotten Son for me! Bountifully and Free, was God eyes ever so bountiful for me according to the riches of his mercy and bountiful glorious Sovereign Grace!

The Sovereignty of God is directing and guiding the helm of the Ark to its journey's End:Genesis 7:1-4:

The Sovereignty of God is directing and guiding the helm of the Ark to its journey's End:
Genesis 7:1-4:
1The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3and also seven pair...s of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”5And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

Sometimes, being in the ark of life, we want to put our hands to the helm, when we feel the little inkling of vibration of cattle and the animals move around in the Ark; and yet, thinking that if we take over the helm, it would calm the animals and make way for smooth sailing. We could no more direct the ark by our own hands on the helm. We forget that God has His hands on the helm; that is directing its course, vibrations and all, to His Sovereign plan and purpose and directed course, until it reaches its final destination. Let us use the slightest bit of discomfort to rest in His Sovereign navigation, never to delude self into thinking that you can take over the helm with greater control! And thereby, miss the bigger picture that you are safe in the ark from the waters of great wrath and punishment, under the ark of God's love in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, the beloved of God the Father.

Prayer is the great furnace and refiner's fire and blessed seal on my heart that the Holy Spirit uses to purify my heart to receive the Illumination of His word to my life! John 17

Prayer is the great furnace and refiners fire and blessed seal on my heart that the Holy Spirit uses to purify my heart to receive the Illumination of His word to my Prayer is the great furnace and refiner’s fire and blessed seal on my heart that the Holy Spirit uses to purify my heart to receive the Illumination of His word to my life! John 17
It's when I Pray, and when I say," Amen" in the hearing of believers in Christ Pray; that I find a deep bond of unity and deep connection to the body and blood of Jesus Christ and to His bride, the Church that I find gr...eat Harmony and peace in Jesus.
Its when I pray, alone before God, and pray with other believers, that I find the Sermon just preached, solidified and Crystalized to my heart. It’s when I pray, do I find the summation of the message, in the written word, transform into the living Word in my life. It is when I pray, do I find clarity of thought and greater focus into the deep riches of the wisdom and knowledge of Jesus Christ in my life; and the deep riches and knowledge of God's grace in my life, evermore solidified, unto the great worship and praise of His great glory, made manifest, in His grace, through, and in Jesus Christ, my Savior and my God.
It is when Jesus was praying His high priestly prayer, that the Holy Spirit provided Divine inspiration to the Apostle John; that we learned of the deep things of the relationship God the Father Had, and has, with God the Son before the foundation of the world; that we learn of the Sovereign Grace of God to the Salvation of my soul! And in the recordings of Jesus' prayer, in John 17, do I see the deep riches of God's grace; and the heart of Jesus Christ split wide open, to the agony of His soul, sweating great drops of blood, unto the submission of His will, to God the Father's will, unto fully drinking of the cup of God's divine wrath, for the penalty of my cursed estate, in His blood, on my behalf, for the salvation of my soul, in His resurrected life back from the dead and the grave; For the praise and great joy of rejoicing, over the forgiveness of my sins, in His ascended glory at the right hand of God the Father to His glorious throne on high; and of rejoicing, over everlasting life of knowing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

The Third Day passing...The Third Day Passing... The Third Day Passing,.. I just could not do it...The Third Day Passing,..Made all the difference in Eternal life for me! Matthew 22:12-13

The third Day passing...The third Day passing... The Third Day Passing…I just could not do it...The Third Day Passing...Made all the difference in Eternal life for me! Matthew 22:12-13
…12and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. 13"Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
I just could not bear up under the weighty penalty of My sin... I just could not do it...yet, the Demands of God's Holy Justice will crush me!
I just could not do it or be able to bear the penalty and pay the price of my own sinfulness before God; who is Holy and whose eyes are too pure to look on sin. If I were to be bound hand and foot--paralyzed, bound to a chair, that would carry me off into the outer darkness and abyss of everlasting shame; after the sentence of my just deserve for my sin; by the Hammer of God's justice and Holiness, before being cast out into the eternal abyss of the outer darkness of the torments of the terrors of deep darkness for the just punishment for my sin. If I were to be thrown into such great darkness of great terror for all eternity, I would never come back the third day passing...Oh the agony! The weeping! The wailing! And the great torment of suffocation for all eternity! I would never find relief...I would never find an ounce of hope for deliverance out of that dreadful place that I justly deserve; I could never bear the consequence of the penalty of my own sin... and it would overtake me, distress and trouble would overwhelm me for all eternity; I would never come back, the third day passing, to see the light of Day! Oh the agony! Oh the Suffocation! Oh the torment and discomfort with no relief in sight! With no one to ever deliver me! The Third Day passing…no one to Deliver me the third day passing…the third day passing…forever gone! Forever slipped away in the outer darkness of the terrors of Death and separation and eternal torment…the third day passing!
I am week unable to bring myself back I could not do it...the suffocation and deep darkness...the great terrors never to come back to see the light of life! When the chair tips my into the abyss of deep Darkness, torment, suffocation, discomfort and restlessness of no relief in sight to slip away for All eternity, never to come back the third day passing...Never to rise back the third day passing...gone in eternal torment of the heavy weight of God's holy wrath forever in separation from his Holy presence...I could not bear it...I could not do it...the third day passing would pass me by never to return on High!

But thanks, be to God! … Jesus! ...Mighty to Save! The nails were driven into His Hands and feet, the crown of thorns rested on the crown of His head as my sin was laid upon His head like the crown of thorns; all st once  He was crushed for me upon His Bloody Cross, all at once He sufferred the penalty of wrath for my sin, not three days, but at obce on the Cross was it finished fir me; as if the chair tipped and He endured the torments of the outer darkness...the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the great suffocation where there was no relief in sight...He bore up under the eternal penalty of my dreadful estate and condition of condemnation on His bloody Cross where He cried it is finished for me! He bore the penalty in His body...He suffered the agony, the wailing, the outer deep darkness for me!
Behold, the third day passing, the third Day passing, the third day passing...He came back for me! He has mighty power and brought the Light of His holy nature with Him in the outer darkness... the third day passing...The Light of His holy being came back up from the dead of deep darkness without decay or corruption He resurrected Bodily unto immortality for me..the third day passing...He arose a mighty Conqueror for me! For Me! For Me!

When I could not do it...too weak to bear it...unable to endure it...though, I just deserve it! Oh for Joy! Oh for blessed praise for all eternity! Oh for the glory and praise of His glory manifest in His Amazing Grace! His Great Mercy to me in His Eternal Son! His Great AGAPE Love revealed in His Grace in giving His only begotten Son for Me!...For Me!...For Me...Though, I do not deserve it...given for me. When I was helpless, the third day passing He came back for me! Oh for Joy! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, for being a mighty conqueror to come back for me, when I was weak and I just could not do it...I just could not endure it...I just could not, helpless I am without one plea! Except thy wounds bled for me! ...Except, thy might broke me free! ...Except, thy Love delivered me! …Except thy light of thy Holy life gave me life to see the light of a new day free, for all eternity! …For all eternity in the light of His glorious presence forever in the light of His glorious presence, never to leave forever with Him!

The Deceptive nature of sin rearing its ugly head in the autonomy of "Self" Jeremiah 17: 5-6

Jeremiah 17: 5-6:
Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6"For he will be like a bush in the desert And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt without inhabitant.…

Consider the deceptive nature of sin under the guise of Autonomy, defined by Saint Augustine from the View of Scripture in Genesis Chapter 1-3:
Augustine’s definition of sin: “Sin is believing the lie that I am self-created, self-dependent, and self-sustained.

Ponder this consideration, if the shoe fits, then take it off! And repent and Depend upon Jesus for Deliverance from your sin!

A journeys End with Jesus Christ or A journeys End without Jesus Christ unto the terrors of Everlasting Shame and tormet! Proverbs 15:24

A journeys End with Jesus Christ or A journeys End without Jesus Christ unto the terrors of Everlasting Shame and torment! Proverbs 15:24
In life, a journey without Jesus Christ; comes to a Journeys End without Jesus with a Journey’s end of terrors, death and Eternal Torment!
Proverbs 15:24 “The Way of Life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn from Hell below.”
In life, a Journey with Christ Jesus and In Christ Jesus Ends in Everlasting bliss and blessed Eternal Joy of the Fellowship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and to share in the brilliance of the Light of His Nature and the warmth of HIs glory and the Eternal light of His everlasting Presence.
Will you journey on your Path in life with Jesus for a blessed Journey’s End, or will you Walk your journey without Jesus Christ to a dreadful end of terror, darkness, gnashing and wailing of your teeth and unto the smoke of your torment forever rising!
Mathew 7 :13:
"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Revelations 3:4-6:
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. 6Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy…

I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy…
I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5: 4-5
I live for, to declare, the praises of Him, who is worthy and was able to open the Scroll and its seven seals…
My life is lived to pen and paper the praises of Him, who in History, changed History forever, in His Historic Battle of victory, on the Cross, in His Mighty Battle cry of, “It is Finished…”
I live for Him, to declare the praises of His everlasting glory of Him who loved me and gave His Life for me—even His own blood, for my eternal Salvation, of Him, who Loves my soul!
Without Him, Even Jesus Christ, My Mighty God, Savior and King of Glory, I have no pen and paper to ever declare any praises; for I have nothing to write and meditate on, except that I am most pitied in my sin cursed self, most utterly wicked and without hope, never to see the light of day, only to Die and be ever lost and condemned for all eternity, to everlasting shame, the eternal torments of my wretched condition, of utter darkness without any hope for to ever see the Light of Day!
Without Him, there is nothing but bitter tears of weeping and gnashing of my teeth with no one to comfort me for the Mighty Judge and God of the Universe condemned me for everlasting shame, suffering and terrors of Eternal darkness and torments of death…
I wept…wept…and wept…until His Loving hand wiped my tears from my eyes and comforted me with everlasting life of eternal Joy in Knowing Him; being quickened and made alive by the Counselor, the Comforter, the Holy spirit of purity and Holiness; only to be transformed in the iridescent brilliance and light of His Holy Nature and life…
My Tears of utter bitterness turned into tears of Utter Joy and a new pen of gold was given to me to carve in the Diamond Scroll the praise of Him who is worthy and could only be the one to ever Save my Soul from everlasting shame and death; the only one who is worthy, throughout the whole of History, of this world, The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, to open the scroll and break the seals; that I may live, to declare the praises of Him, forever, unto Everlasting Life, in the eternal Joy of His everlasting presence, in the warmth of His perpetual Light to pen the praises the new name given to me by His Amazing Eternal Grace!

One act of succumbing, results in destroying the whole; But only One Person Who can make whole again, to bring back, those, to God The Father!

One act of succumbing, results in destroying the whole; But only One Person who can make whole again to bring back, those, to God The Father!

It only took Eve one act of succumbing to temptation and Disobeying God’s Word; which ushered in the whole curse that tainted the hearts, with wickedness, of Adam’s helpless race…
"6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden” Genesis 3:6-8

One act of succumbing to temptation that will corrupt the whole of the pattern of a righteous life that would outweigh a life of wisdom and Honor…

“…As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.” Ecclesiastes 10:1
”Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked”. Proverbs 25:26

And One act of obedience to submit His will to God the Father’s will in Eternity Past to usher in righteousness and make Holy, in the commencement of His journey, from His Eternal throne of glory; to the emptying of His Glory, in His poverty Philippians 2:6...

One act of Poverty to make those rich through His poverty...
2 Corinthians 8:9 “Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich”

One act of Poverty by way of His birth in a manager and becoming a Servant; to His path of suffering by the way of the Via Della Rosa; to the one act of submitting to the Will of God the Father to fully drink, from the Chalice, on the Cross, the Eternal wrath of God; to the Shedding of His blood, offered to those, who, out of the whole lump, were condemned under the curse of Adam’s helpless race…

Romans 5:18-20 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. 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.

One Act of Obedience to hear God the Father’s Cry, to Rise back from the grave and Exit the Tomb Alive with the Eternal blessings of great joy of Resurrected Life…
Galatians 1:1 God the Father, who raised Him from the dead

One Act of Commanding the Eternal Ancient Gates shut and locked tight that no one could ever open; only to be opened by the, One and Only, King of Glory, who could ever Enter the Ancient Gates, in His own right and qualification, by His own blood, did He ever Enter, in His Ascended glory…

Psalm 24:7-10: 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory. "Selah"

One act of sitting on the Eternal Throne of God, until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet…Hebrews 10:13

One act of Declaration, by God the Father to His Son in His ascended glory and return from His Journeys end back to the glory He once shared with God the Father in Eternity Past “He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your Father.” Psalm 2:7

One act of Declaration, of God the Father to the Mighty King of Glory who sits at the right Hand of God the Father “But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom Hebrews 1:8

One final act of glorification for, Those, by the Mighty Act of the Eternal King of Glory, who removed the Condemnation for, Those, through His own blood! On behalf of, Those, whom God the Father had Chosen before the foundation of the world, Romans 8:34

Get Closer To God James 4:7-10 Psalm 55:19

Get Closer to God!

In a Seals and Crofts song in 1976, “Get Closer” has lyrics that starts off and says, “Darling if you want me to be closer to you Get closer to me…”

God is unchanging, He never Changes in His Eternal Being and Nature, Psalm 55:19, He is Faithful to His Promises; indeed, the Second person of the Holy Trinity, Even Jesus, is unchanging! “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” Hebrews 13:8. God is omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent, our great and immutable, unchanging Unmovable God. The problem is not with God, it lies within our own heart; we are constantly changing, always moving away from God! If you want to be close to God, then get close to Him!

The Believer, in their relationship to the Lord, must make every effort to get closer to God. If you feel distant and disconnected from the presence of the LORD in you relationship with the LORD, then you need to get closer to God! Ask God to search your heart, He will bring to light any object of disconnect that stands in your way of having a right relationship to God! Any Distraction and stumbling block, He will untangle the sin that so easily entangles; and that you may throw off all the weight that weighs you down. He will search your heart, you must seek Him!

The Holy Spirit, who is the Great Comforter, Counselor, and who convicts of sin and Judgment; will search your heart that you may get closer to God!

The curse of the sin cursed self in the sin nature, speaks to us in many different voices that would speak words to make us distant from God; Do not listen to its destructive wind.
In order to get close to God, we must repent of the sin that so easily entangles us and keeps us away from the LORD. Draw near to God, in Jesus, and claim the Blood of Jesus to cleanse you of the sin that so easily entangles; that you may be whole again and be drawn closer to God in a right relationship to God through the blood of Jesus!

James 4: 7-10:

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Psalm 55:19:

God, who is enthroned from of old,

who does not change—

As the Enormity of the Snow Covered the Ground today; so Does the infinite Blood of Jesus Cover the enormity and gravity of my Sin!

To Walk before Him in White!
As the enormity of the Snow Covers the Ground today; So does the infinite covering of Jesus' Blood cover the enormity and gravity of my sin to walk before Him in white!
The enormity of the Snow covers the Ground today, with White! The infinite covering of Jesus' blood covers me for all eternity that I may walk before Him in White in the brilliance of His Holiness in the radiance of His Divine holiness in the iridescent Nature of His great glory!

He was crucified Naked on the Cross, only to expose my Nakedness and shame before Almighty God in all His holiness and Justice. Yet, at the same time, Jesus was clothed in His own blood, that covered His naked body as blood dripped down from the crown of thorns on His head to His scourged back, Nail pierced hands and feet; His blood providing the only garment over His Naked body, only to cloth me in His blood to cover my nakedness and Shame!

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!***He was Scarred for All Eternity, while I walk without Scars!

Hebrews 12:2-3

2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Isaiah 52:13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him[c]— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness— 15 so will he sprinkle many nations,[d] and kings will shut their mouths because of him.

Matthew 27:34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.[a] 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

John 19: 23 “…When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled which said, “They divided my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.”[a] So this is what the soldiers did. 25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Psalm 22: 17 I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. 18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

Isaiah53 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. 5 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. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.See More

A final Dealing with Sin, in The Cross of Jesus Christ in His Shed Blood! Colossians 1:18-22 Ephesians 1:7

A final Dealing with Sin, in The Cross of Jesus Christ in His Shed Blood!

Forgiveness of sins only becomes possible because of the Blood of Jesus!

Colossians 1:18-22 Ephesians 1:7

Such possibilities cost Jesus His life and shed blood on the cross of Christ;
Such possibilities made Jesus drink of the cup of God's wrath for the enormity and gravity of the penalty of our sin!
And there is no Possibilities for you, if you do not see the gravity and enormity of your sin against the Holy Nature of God--for God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all!
Such possibilities become possible for you, if you, by believing, will trust in Jesus' Shed blood for the forgiveness of your sins--you cannot enjoy the blessings of having a relationship with Jesus Christ, if you Bi-Pass the Cross of Jesus Christ and overlook the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ for your deliverance from the wrath of God for the guilt of your sin and shame and the Redemption of your life for the forgiveness of your sins!

Before you can enjoy the Blessings of Knowing Jesus Christ in His Resurrection you cannot ignore the Cross of Jesus Christ and His Shed blood; you cannot go around the cross of Jesus and His Shed blood; for the cross of Jesus must hit you square in the face and His Shed blood must drop on you! That you may know that the problem of the guilt of your sin, shame and the forgiveness of your sins was dealt with by God the Father with one Almighty Blow of the crushing of God the Father's only begotten Son upon the Cross of Jesus to the shedding of Jesus' eternal blood in Jesus drinking of the Almighty Wrath of God on your behalf in His vicarious Sacrifice and Shed Blood before His Death upon the cross; For Jesus fully drank of the Cup of God's Almighty wrath on the cross while He was still alive on the cross offering His Body a living Sacrifice in His shed blood!

You Must see the enormity, gravity and guilt of you sin abiding upon you; you must see the wrath of God abiding upon you for all eternity for the grave nature of the guilt of your sin ruling your life; you must see this awful condition that you are in In order that you might see your need for the cross of Jesus Christ; to know that such an awful price was paid and the vindication of God's Justice and righteousness was dealt with in the punishment of our sin upon the Cross of Jesus to receive the forgiveness of your sins by the blood of Jesus and be reconciled back to God in a right relationship with God through the reconciliation in the Blood of Jesus!

Then, and only then, will the problem of the guilt of your sin and shame be dealt with at the cross of Jesus and the forgiveness of you sins and the reconciliation back to God is realized through the Blood of Jesus by believing in His name and trusting in His work of Redemption in His Shed Blood upon the cross of Jesus!

Ignore the gravity and enormity of your sin; and ignore, the cross of Jesus Christ, then for all eternity will you waist away as the wrath of God abides on you; for then, you will pay a penalty that cannot be paid in your own being for all eternity!

Ephesians 1:7

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Colossians 1:18-22:

And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[a] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation
