Yourself

The most beautiful season of the year is soon approaching, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus. But before we get into the joy of Christ(mas) it would be good to recall first why Jesus was born.

 

 

 

Jesus break the chain of spiritual death. So much the sin is loved that in consequence of that the devil does not need to change his tactics on us. As he had whispered to Eve: you will be like God or did God really say " You shall not eat from the tree of life? "

 

My dear friend do not listen to the voice of Satan, that whispers " ye are gods " or did God really said " you'll go to hell if Jesus is not your Lord and Savior? "

 

 

STOP  self-worship & self-glory! Let the devil to deceive himself into thinking he can overthrow God's throne.

 

Pride led to Lucifer's fall. Rather than give God the glory for creating him so beautifully, Lucifer took pride in himself, thinking that he himself was responsible for his exalted status. Satan's rebellion resulted in God casting Lucifer from His presence and will, eventually, result in God condemning Lucifer to the lake of fire for all eternity.

~ S. Michael Houdmann ~

 

 

Before his fall, Lucifer was indeed a beautiful creature!

 

'You were the signet of perfection,

full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

You were in Eden, the garden of God;

every precious stone was your covering,

sardius, topaz, and diamond,

beryl, onyx and jasper,

sapphire, emerald and carbuncle;

and crafted in gold were your settings

and your engravings.

On the day that you were created

they were prepared.

You were an anointed guardian cherub.

I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God;

In the midst of the stones of fire you walked.

You were blameless in your ways,

from the day you were created,

till unrighteousness was found in you.

In the abundance of your trade

you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;

so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,

and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,

from the midst of the stone of fire.

Your heart was proud because of your beauty;

you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.

~ Ezekiel 28:13-17 ~

 

 

The Fall of Lucifer

" How you are fallen from heaven,

O Lucifer, son of the morning!

How you were cut down to the ground,

You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart:

' I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

I will also sit on the mount of the congregation

On the farthest sides of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

I will be like the Most High. '

Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,

To the lowest depths of the Pit.

~ Isaiah 14:12-15 ~

 

Don't follow Lucifer/Satan in Hell, a place of utter darkness, loneliness, terror, endless agonizing pain. NO HOPE, NO KIND WORDS, NO LOVE, NO LIGHT

 

Would you not rather be in the kingdom of God, the One who created you for His glory? All He wants from you is to LOVE HIM. Confess that you are a sinner!.. incapable of earning your way into God's good Grace.

Tell God that you believe that Jesus is His Son; died for you and by his blood we are saved; and rose from the dead to give you eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Repent, turn away from your sinful lifestyle, and ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your personal Lord and Savior.

 

He has given you a free will so that you can make your own choices. You must choose whom you will serve: Yourself or God.

 

If you are at enmity with Him here in the physical realm; do not care to know Him nor give Him glory; how can you imagine that in the spiritual realm you'll live to love Him and bring Him glory??

 

 

 







Fig Tree

The fig tree represents Israel as a nation!

The presence of a fruitful fig tree is a symbol of blessing and prosperity, while a fig tree without fruit is a symbol of Israel judgment and rejection.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

" Now let the fig tree teach you its lesson: when its branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, you know that summer approaching. In the same way, when you see all these things, you are to know that the time is near, right at the door. Yes! I tell you that this people will certainly not pass away before all these things happen. " Jesus ~ Matthew 24:32-24 ~


On May 14, 1948 God's prophetic clock started ticking again, loudly.

In the book of Ezekiel; the Lord spoke: " Therefore say: ' This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again ' ~ Ezekiel 11:17 ~

Isaiah prophesied: " Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children ~ Isaiah 66:8 ~

A nation born in one day, Israel ~ May 14th 1948 ~

Nevertheless, said the Lord, I will leave a remnant, some who will escape the sword among the nations, when you have been scattered throughout the countries. Those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they have been exiled ~ Ezekiel 6:8-9 ~

In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people ~ Isaiah 11:11 ~

Israel is a nation again in the land of their forefathers. The Word of God was fulfilled!

The Lord had said, " In Jerusalem I will put my Name " ~ 2 Kings 21:4 ~

And from the house of the Lord the Jews will say: " Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you " ~ Psalm 118:26 ~

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ' Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord ' Jesus ~ Matthew 23:39 ~

The Lord's remnant are back again in the house of the Lord, from where they will call Jesus.


The Remnant of Israel

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descent of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, who he foreknew. Don't you know that the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah - how he appealed to God against Israel: " Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me " ? And what was God's answer to him? " I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. " So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. ~ Romans 11:1-6 ~

 

All Israel Will Be Saved

 

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written:

 

"The deliver will come from Zion;

he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

And this is my covenant with them

when I take away their sins. "

 

As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gift and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. ~ Romans 11:25-32 ~



 

 

Salvation is absolutely free, the true gift of God in Jesus Christ, and our responsibility is to receive the gift by faith.
