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!
