Which One is it?

I am not too much on wars, but I am happy to see the country of Israel, striking back against the terrorism of Hamas. It must be horrendous to live under the threat of missile fire, from an enemy, as close as next door. My heart and prayers go out to the Israeli people, as the battle rages on. It would do the people of Palestine to remember that the Israeli people are still God’s chosen people. I have read the ending of the book, and all those, on the side of the Lord wins!!

In the twenty-fourth chapter, of the book of Matthew, it tells about the signs of the second coming, and the end of the world. 

 

Matthew 24:4-13 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

These signs have been fulfilled, throughout the world, in which we live in today. I honestly believe that the return of Jesus in secret, to take the church home could happen, at any minute. The world is getting to be a pretty ugly place to live in. Corruption in the United States is at an all-time high. We have our Government officials saying that we are a Christian nation in one breathe, and supporting homosexual lifestyles, in the next. Well,………..Which one is it? It can’t be both.

The same goes with the phrase “legal abortion.” They have made it legal to murder, God’s little blessings to this corrupt world. If they would just stop and think about it for a minute, our Father would not give a blessing, without making provision, for the blessing. Do we think that God changed His mind when He said these words? We say things, like the world is becoming over-populated, and we are just thinning out the population.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The problem with our nation, and all the nations, of the world is that, our priorities have gotten out of order. We seem to think that God, has grown lax, in His provision. Somewhere down the line, those with power a crossed this world, have stepped up, and said that, we don’t need God anyway. We can run this world just fine without His help. This is the evidence of the New World Order. They have the backing of a new generation of hot headed young people, who are starving to have power, which they can’t handle, to begin with.

The best thing that we could do, for this suffering world is place it back in control, of the hands of God. We had no business taking it from Him to start with. That is the best and most reasonable thing, which we could do, but this will not happen. The second greatest thing, that can happen, is the rapture, of the church. This world has become a nasty, wicked, hole of death, and degeneration to live in. However it does make the true Christians light shine brighter than ever!! In a place that is so dark like the world that we live in today, a little light shine a long way.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 

 

This verse of scripture sounds like the proper way to conduct our relationship, with our God. It is actually a promise, and a very good promise. All we need to concern ourselves with is the seeking, of the things of God, and the main things that, He is concerned with, and all that we need will be there. 

This included the things, which we put into our bellies, as nourishment for our bodies. This also includes the clothes that, we wear, no matter what the season might be. Jesus makes the point, of how the Father feeds the birds of the air, and clothes the lilies, of the field. If you will go deep enough, with your seeking, I don’t believe that the Lord’s goodness will stop at food and clothes. I believe that He is willing to go, as far as you are. Look at the preachers, missionaries, and the Evangelist, because Jesus is meeting their every need.

How do you think that all these single mothers, and widows, take care of all their children? The most of them follow Matthew 6:33 first, and the good Lord meets their every need. Their children go to school wearing decent clothes, and set to the table every evening, and eating a nutritious meal. I was one of those kids, who had a single mother, in the days before our country, had a food stamp program. The older citizens will remember that they had a commodity program, where the Government would give surplus food. I don’t remember much about it, but what I do remember was that it wasn’t all that much, but it was sure better than nothing.

The Lord will use anything other than something wrong, to help His children, to meet their needs. I love serving Jesus, because it is impossible to our-give Him. Often times Jesus will use His children to meet the needs of His other children. All we need to do is be sensitive to the voice of Holy Spirit, and obey His prompting, and you will be amazed, at the good that we can do for each other. Ain’t Holy Spirit Awesome?

….Much Love
