The Patience Of The Saints And The Faith of Jesus

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1) I know your beginning and your ending. (Isaiah 46:10; Isaiah 44:26-28; Psalm 33:11; Proverbs 19:21; Hebrews 6:17). Are you keeping up? It is nothing happening in the life of the born again believer, the church-goer, false prophets and false preachers and the world; that the Lord is not aware of. God said, "I gave them that deception so that they could deceive themselves". (1 Kings 22:23, Ezekiel 14:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:11). If it were possible the very elect would be fooled. (Matthew 24)

God is in absolute control. Those God foreknew he also predestinated. Jesus said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4) "Everlearning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth." "Professing godliness but denying the power thereof; having a form of godliness while their heart is far from Me". From such turn away. (2 Timothy 3) Walk in wisdom towards them who are without redeeming the time for the days are evil. (Colossians 4)

Judge not. For as you judge you are judged. God's Word cuts both ways. God's Word is sharper and more powerful than any two-edged sword; cutting through to the bone and marrow, a discerner of thoughts, and intent of the heart. (Hebrews 4) Therefore be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. (1 Corinthans 15) Only a remnant will be saved. (Isaiah 10; Romans 9) Everyone will not accept the message of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's not your business. Your business is to do the will of God who called you, chose you and sent you--for His purpose, that He may get the glory. He is God and He is God all by Himself. (Isaiah 43; Isaiah 45) If God be for you; He is more than the whole world against you (Romans 8).  God is not a man that He would lie. (Numbers 23)

When Pontius Pilot turned Jesus over to the Roman soldiers to be executed he asked Jesus if He had anything to say. “Jesus answered, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” Then Jesus asked for something to drink because He was thirsty. He took a drink of vinegar, hung his head, and said, Let's do this. I have an appointment to keep. "IT IS FINISHED"--and gave up the Ghost.  (John 19) That's deep. It begs the question; who is pulling your strings God or man? Although we know that the crucifixion, death, burial, and resurection was organized and orchestrated by God; those whom God used committed the sin.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)

The Spirit of God And the Spirit of The Antichrist

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.  (Revelation 13)

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the preserverence and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13)

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him (Colossians 1)

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6) Are you keeping up? Did you say "principalities"; and hosts of "wickedness in heavenly places"? that God created? and that all things "exist by Him and for Him"?

“And they shall know that I am the Lord and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.”(Ezekiel 6:10)

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will. The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely. Some preach Christ in an attempt to manipulate others. Whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached. (Philippians 1)

Convergence of the flesh and the spirit. The Spirit of God and the spirit of the antichrist.

You Do Not Know the Scriptures or the Power of God

It is written that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4). It is written that they who wait on the Lord, He shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40)

The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. They that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. (Daniel 11)

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. (Isaiah 33:1) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. (Revelations 13)

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Study to show thyself approved a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of God. (2 Timothy 2)

Jesus said, "you do not know the scriptures or the power of God." (Matthew22)

The Patience and the Faith of the Saints

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. (Isaiah 33:1)

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. (Jeremiah 15)

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. (Matthew 26:52) The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. (2 Corinthinians 10) “For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22)

Chosen and Elect of God; Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Born Again Believers; walk in praise and thanksgiving! Live in praise and thanksgiving! (Psalm 100, Psalm 107, 1 Thessalonians 5). Pursue holiness and righteousness! (Luke 1).

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:10)

Think On These Things

Walk in the newness of life. This is the day that the Lord has made (Psalm 118); rejoice and be glad in it! I am God and I am God alone. There is no other God beside Me (Isaiah 45) I sent My Son to die for you that you would be free. He who the Son sets free, is free indeed (John 8). Glorify Me (John 17). I am in you and you are in Me (John 14). I wrapped myself up in flesh, walked the earth, was humiliated and tortured publicly; died, buried and rose from the dead, that you would inherit eternal life. (Romans 14)

The earth is Mine and all that is therein! (Psalm 24) Pursue, overtake, (1 Samuel 30) and subdue, in the name of My Son Jesus. Walk in the faith of your salvation today; for by faith are you saved and not of yourself. It is a gift of God. (Ephesians 2) Love one another as I have loved you (John 13). Be not anxious for anything but in prayer and supplication make your requests be made known and I who hear in secret will reward thee openly. (Phillipians 4)

I am God and I am God all by myself. (Isaiah 44) Praise Me. Glorify Me. You are the annointed of God. Before you were in your mother's womb (Jeremiah 1), I knew you, called you and appointed you. (Ephesians 1)  “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10). Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you should answer every man (Colossians 4). I will go before you and come behind you. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4)

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4)

Take God At His Word. Walk on Water!

Trust the Lord and Him only. Put all of your trust and faith in God; the God of Abraham, Isacc and Jacob (Matthew 22). Do not put your trust in things. But do not fret because the same God of Abraham, Isacc and Jacob would that you would prosper and be in good health as your soul prospers. "Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly, when others came and testified of the truth that is in you. (3 John) Even as you go about your daily errands: working on the job that I blessed you with, aerobics, jogging, excercising, grocery shopping; going to the barber, hair, and nail shop--even then, thou walkest in the TRUTH--MY TRUTH (John 8). I have no greater joy than to hear that MY CHILDREN walk in TRUTH. (3 John)

But I digress. Do not trust in the law. When Christ died the veil was rent. (Matthew 27) The law was done away with; and humanity came under grace, mercy, and faith in God who was resurrected from the dead (Romans 5, 6, 7) in the man called Jesus Christ. Do not put your trust in (hu)man (Psalm 146). Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ. Keep your focus on Jesus Christ. His Word will not fail you. (Isaiah 55; Luke 1).

The blessing is in being yoked up with Jesus. 'Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me for My burdens are easy and My yoke is light (Matthew 11). The Lord called you and set you apart for His purpose (Leviticus 20; Psalm 4), that He may get the glory. Jesus said that if it were not true He would have told you so. I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you will be also (John 14). Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14) You are a child of the King--King Jesus; and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free (John 8).

Try the spirit by the Spirit which is the Word of God (1 John 4). You must be born again (John 3). Read the bible. The bible is God's word. The King James version is the closest to the original text. All of the other translations were written by man to influence humanity in an attempt to make it easier to understand and manipulate the Child of God, if it were possible. Jesus said that My sheep know my voice and I know theirs and another they shall not follow (John 10). 

The bible tells us that the natural man cannot comprehend the things of God neither can they know them; they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2). Jesus said, My people perish for lack of knowedge" (Hosea 4). Therefore, study to show yourself approved, a workman that needs not be ashamed; rightly dividing the Word of God (2 Timothy 2)--line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, there a little (Isaiah 28). My beloved sisters and brothers in Christ, the born again: Chosen, and Elect of God; stand therefore, clothed in Truth and Righteousness (Ephesians 6) that you may approach the throne of grace boldly when you pray, "our Father, who art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6)

Jesus loves you. He gave you everything that you would ever need to survive while you are on this earth. In all things lacking nothing (James 1). God bless you sister. God bless you brother. Bless you with what? More faith, a closer walk with Jesus, the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in unknown tongues? Discernment? Wisdom? Bless you with what? the peace of God that passes all understanding, more grace, more faith, more mercy, joy that the world did not give you and the world cannot take away? Bondages broke? Holy boldness? Deliverance? Healing? Bless you with what?

Keep your eyes on Jesus.Take God at His Word. Step out of the boat and walk on water (Matthew 14)!

Divine Victory; Foreordained!

  We praise You Lord God! Your will, Your way, Your purpose, Your plan, Your time! All praises belong to you Lord God! You alone are God (Psalm 86). You are God all by Yourself (Deuteronomy 34; Psalm 86). There is no God beside You! (Isaiah 45) Your ways are beyond finding out! (Romans 11)

Thank you for the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1) that we may have life and life more abundantly; (John 10) here, now, and for eternity. We shall never die. (John 11) Thank you Jesus for taking the sting out of death. (1 Corinthians 15) Oh grave where is thy victory? (1 Corinthians 15) It bears repeating--those who are in Christ shall never die. (John 11)

The "Art of Creative Warfare" in the life of the born again believer is to die to self. It is an imperative. It is not an option; for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthinans 10). No weapon formed against a Child of King Jesus shall prosper (Isaiah 54). And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God; to them who are the Called, Chosen and Elect of God. (Romans 8)

Thank you Lord God for knowing us and setting us apart before we were in the womb. (Jeremiah 1) Thank you Lord God for divine victory; foreordained! (1 Peter 1)
