As He pleases

Wow, the way God speaks in answer to prayer!

I was praying today and I prayed about different things and I felt led to pray for our government, for the leaders, that God will change their hearts, convert them, bring them to salvation. That they will rule our country according to His word, His will and that many in this nation will turn to Christ.

(Many in our government are corrupt, in rebellion to God, our rulers loving dishonour.)

This is what God says to me through His word and through a commentary by John Gill (I love his commentaries):

The "shields" are the rulers of the earth. They are to be a shield to us and a protection to us. The Lord raises them up and sets them down as He pleases and their hearts are in His hands and He can convert them when He pleases and gather them into His Son and His church.

Our safety and protection is of the Lord who is King over all the earth.

Christ, who has all power in heaven and in earth is highly exalted at the right hand of God, and angels, authorities, and powers, are subject to Him.

So I will keep on praying, for they are in His hands and He is the Potter who makes one vessel of clay for honour and another for dishonour.

Thank you Lord that YOU are in control and your will is done on earth as in heaven. Amen.

Spiritual Manipulation

This post is to warn those who forward hoax Christian messages on WhatsApp or Facebook.

The following is one of those forwarded hoax Christian messages being spread on WhatsApp:
(I post verbatim.)

muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an 8 year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! then He reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE! The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed.The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says 'A man wearing shiny clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian National TV, by availed Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none other than JESUS, because nobody else does things like this!', Muslims believe Isa (JESUS) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East , you can be sure this story will spread.Christ is still turning the world upside down! Please let this story be shared. The Lord says, 'I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.' Jeremiah 17.. Please forward these to all on your list and GOD will reward you abundantly!!!!!!!!!!! Please finish reading before you do anything else right now. Read this to the end. My name is God. I know you will give your time for me. I love you and always bless you. I am always with you. I need you to spend 30 minutes of your time with me today. Don't pray. Just praise. Today I want this message across the world before midnight. Will you help? Please do not cut it and I'll help you with something that you are in need of. A blessing is coming your way. Please drop everything & pass it on. Tomorrow will be the Best Day of your Life. Send this to 14 friends in 10min. Tell the devil you are a blessed child of God and you have more to be thankful for than to worry about. We must go through the storm to appreciate the sunshine! This is a test to see who has more followers. God or satan. If God, forward to 14 people, if satan, ignore this! God is going to fix two things (BIG) tonight in your favor. Trust God.

My opinion about these messages:
God says do not use His Name in vain and the one who wrote this letter is using the Name of our God in vain for God did not say this.
It is spiritually manipulative.

It is turning people off from the Gospel of Jesus.
It is feeding the beast, especially when shared on FB where there is big business with these types of posts from people who make money from it.
And this story is a hoax, it is false.
Click here to read for yourself.

God calls people to Jesus through the Gospel message, not made up stories and not through spiritual manipulation in His Name.
For faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Our blessings do not depend on whether we forward these types of posts or not.
We are blessed with all spiritual blessings because we are in Christ Jesus.
Please do not forward these type of spiritually manipulative posts.

This is posted in love only. Thank you for understanding.
God bless you in Jesus' precious holy Name.

Until the Son of God appear

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight

O come, Thou Key of David, come

And open wide our heavenly home

Make safe the way that leads on high

And close the path to misery

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, o Israel

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, o Israel

False Christ!

 

 King Messiah was already revealed 2000 years ago as Jesus Christ (Yeshua). No need to go to Israel because Jesus said we will no longer worship the Father on that mountain or in Jerusalem, but we will worship Him in Spirit and in truth for such the Father is seeking to worship Him. (John 4)

 

And Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 that false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even us His elect. Jesus said if they tell us He is in the desert, DO NOT GO OUT! If they tell us He is in the inner rooms, DO NOT BELIEVE IT!

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Christians, stay away from mystic Kabbalists, they are being deceived. Pray for them.

 

Please read and see how Jesus' words are playing out before our eyes!

 

I quote the following from Breaking Israel News site!

"Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, a well-known Israeli mystic leader, made a remarkable statement last Sunday predicting that the identity of the Messiah would be revealed in the very near future, even giving specific details on how the revelation would occur.

“Messiah is at work right now,” Rabbi Ben Artzi said in a sermon. “Jews, be happy! Very soon, the Messiah will be revealed to everyone!”

The rabbi went into detail, explaining how this would come about.

“The Holy One, Blessed be He, will come to the rabbis in a dream with a vision and inform them of whom He has chosen for the King Messiah,” predicted Rabbi Ben Artzi. “The Creator will write to them exactly, whom He has chosen as King Messiah.”

This singular revelation was accompanied by details.

“There will be a yellow card and holy letters inscribed on a parchment like a Torah scroll, where they will be told in Aramaic who is King Messiah,” the rabbi continued. Aramaic is no longer spoken, but it is the language of the Talmud (oral law). “Then, they will have no choice and they will recognize the King Messiah.

“From above they will be told, ‘The choice is in your hands. Either you reveal him or the Creator of the world will cause you great trouble and will not let go until you reveal this and tell it to the people of Israel’,” Rabbi Ben Artzi said. “Then they will follow the instructions laid out in the dream and acknowledge who the Messiah King is.”

The rabbi even described the inscription that will be revealed to the rabbis in their vision of the the parchment.

“I, the Lord, command you to say and to show who is the King Messiah, the man of God chosen by Him.”

Rabbi Ben Artzi explained why God has chosen this specific time to reveal the Messiah.

“The Creator can no longer wait while watching the suffering of the Jews in Israel and abroad,” Rabb Ben Artzi said. “Their suffering is especially difficult since Israel is the Chosen People, chosen by the Holy One, blessed be He.”

The rabbi did not discount the non-Jews from this soon-to-be-revealed process. In an exclusive response to Breaking Israel News, Rabbi Ben Artzi explained the role of Christians in the messianic age.

“In the beginning of Christianity, there was a schism, and there were Jews among them,” the rabbi explained. “But some Jews continued in the path of Christianity. Therefore, there are among them today those that have the spark of Judaism in their soul and in their spirit. That is why they have an affinity for Judaism and a love of the Jews that is awakening as the Messiah approaches.”

Rabbi Ben Artzi had a dire warning for Jews who live outside of Israel, telling them that since the Messiah is about to be revealed, now is the time to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel).

“God has given man free choice so that he will willingly connect to God, and to the Land of Israel,” Rabbi Ben Artzi told Breaking Israel News. “If they truly believe in God, they will come of their own free will.”

Rabbi Ben Artzi emphasized that the timeliness of the Messiah has been made clear by current events in order to bring Jews back to Israel.

“There are great signs showing that it is time to return: growing anti-Semitism, signs in nature, global political conflicts,” the Kabbalist leader said. However, he added, “Throughout all of this, the land of Israel is conspicuously protected. Anyone who looks at the signs will understand and come to Israel immediately.”"

The Secret Place

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

~Psalm 91:1 NKJV

That verse really grabbed my attention.  Who shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty?  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High!
Lord Jesus tells us to go into our rooms when we pray and that our Father who is in the secret place and who sees in secret, will reward us openly.

When we pray to our heavenly Father we enter into His presence where He is in the secret place and Jesus said the kingdom of God is within us.  Jesus also said that if we love Him, we will keep His word and His Father will love us and He and Father will come to us and make their home with us.

Jesus also told us to remain (abide) in Him and for His words to remain in us.  When we are faithful to pray always, we abide in the presence of God and there is safety in abiding in the presence of God!

We now have boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.  We access the secret place of the Most High with confidence through faith in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 6:6;  Luke 17:21;  John 14:23-24;  John 15:7;  Hebrews 10:19;  Ephesians 3:12

God’s grace a wide open space

I know our Lord said in Matthew 22:14 : “For many are called, but few are chosen.” But I think what is few in our eyes is not necessarily few in the Lord's eyes, because it is also written in 2 Peter 3:8 that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

So who are we to say "the vast majority of professed Christians are lost and will not make it"?

And I know it is also written in Romans 11:5 that the Lord has a remnant chosen by grace and when I read Revelation 7:9 there is "a great multitude which no one could number" before the throne of God!😊

And also written in Romans 14:4 :

Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

And actually, a truly born again Christian cannot be plucked from Jesus or the Father's hand! Jesus said so Himself in John 10:28-29.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

So let us stop acting as if we are God to know how many Christians will be lost. I think they actually gloat when they say that and I can assure you they count themselves in that number that will be saved, yet they write off other Christians.

God's grace is a wide open space in which we stand secure in His favour, even though the entrance is narrow.
