Going For The Gold, Silver and Precious Stones for Almighty God's Glory!

.

In the "spirit" of the Olympics; many have trained and have anticipated this present week for years. These individuals have worked extremely hard and have made countless sacrifices to maintain their competitive edge. Finally, all of their hard work and effort has paid off and they are ready to compete! These individuals have subjected their bodies under strict disciple with one goal and prize in their vision, the gold medal! Oh beloved, how much more should Almighty God's children (John 1:12) run the race - which is before them - for ETERNAL glory and an ETERNAL prize in the joy of the Lord and in wondrous thanksgiving for His ETERNAL saving grace towards us (Eph. 1:3,; 2:10, Phil 2:5-11, Heb. 11:2:1-2, 1 John 4:10, Rev. 22:1-5)!

As believers in Christ, we can by faith go for the gold and win the victory through the many-faceted adversities and calamities that comes our way.

At Christ's Judgment Seat for His redeemed saints, which will take place after the Rapture of His Church; The saints will be examined and proved by Almighty God the Son's RIGHTEOUS PERSON, PERFECTION, and HOLY fire (Psalm 12:6; 18:30; 19:8-10; John 1:1-3; John 17:17, 1 Cor. 3:9-16, Heb. 12:28-29, Rev. 1:12-18; 22:12)! ALL that was built upon this FOUNDATION (THE ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS SON of ALMIGHTY GOD) will remain and rewards will be given (1 Cor. 3:9-16, Rev. 22:12)! All that is outworked in the flesh and in error will be TOTALLY CONSUMED by Christ's RIGHTEOUS Person and FIRE, and they will suffer loss, but NOT the loss of one's ETERNAL salvation (Rom. 8:26-39; 1 Cor. 3:9-16)! For the RIGHTEOUS FOUNDATION, BLUEPRINT, OUTWORKING, WORKS, FRUIT, BUILDING and PRODUCT in a child of GOD's life IS NOTHING LESS THAN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! For He is ALL and ALL in RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, ABSOLUTES, ATTRIBUTES, and LIFE and without Him, nothing can ever EXIST, be ACHIEVED and have LIFE (John 1:1-14; 10:25; 14:1-3, Gal. 2:20; Heb. 1:2-3; 4:12-13; 13:8, 1 Peter 2:1-8, Rev. 1:11-18; 4; 21:22-23; 22:13)! We are to be the Lord Jesus Christ's co-labors, joint-heirs, vessels, body, branches, witnesses, sent ones, ambassadors, disciples, fishermen, ministers of reconciliation and lights; and we are to build as we serve our RIGHTEOUS Savior in love very wisely and circumspectly; with spiritual knowledge for His glory and honor (1 Cor. 10:31)! Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD for HE is our LIFE!; and when we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate and make known to all Who is our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD (Gen. 15:1, Psalm 119, Phil. 3:8-10; 2 Tim. 4:8, 1 John 3:1-3; 4:10, 19)!

Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD for HE is our LIFE!; and when we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate and make known to all Who is our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD!

Beloved, it is tragic to say, and may Almighty God help us all; that many will be ashamed in His Presence on that day. For many will have NEGLECTED their Heavenly calling for the temporal delights and comforts that this fallen world and America has to offer, and many will build wrongly in unrighteousness and in ignorance. These will be saved by FIRE but with nothing to show for God's glory (1 Cor. 3:12-18). The thought will be in that day how much did you really love Me and enjoy me for Who I am?

Going for the Gold for Almighty God's Glory!
.
Dear friends, ETERNAL victory is gained when a person puts his or her faith and trust in the Person of Almighty God (John 8:32-36, Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 11:6, 1 John 5:1-5)! As believers in Jesus Christ, we can by faith go for the gold and win the victory through the many-faceted adversities and calamities that come our way. We know that Almighty God our Father indeed loves us and has a wonderful plan and purpose for our lives in this age to make us GREAT winners for His glory and not losers.

Listen to this promise: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:26).

Almighty God has a wonderful plan for you and me and wants us to overcome in His PERFECT WILL for our lives and be a winner for His glory (1 Cor. 10:31)! It is through Him and by Him we will have the victory!; For He indeed is our VICTORY!

Remember your current position in Christ at the right hand of Almighty God, blessed with all spiritual blessings - Col 3:1-5, Eph 1:3)!

In these last days may we be strong and of good courage and have faith in Almighty God. May we see - with the eyes of faith - past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a conqueror in Christ and for Christ. May we go for all that Almighty God has called us to be for His Glory.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Plil. 4:13)!

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses" (1Tim 6:12)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14)!

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57)!

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37)!

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor.10:31)!

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2 Cor. 1:20)!

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)!

"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Tim 4:8)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world [i.e., Satan and his minions]" (1 John 4:4).

Now go for the gold beloved for Almighty God's glory!! God speed!!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A Biblical Response on Race | Sermon by Tony Evans

The Laodicean Church Age in the Age of EXPONENTIAL Technological Advancement

Dear friends, the Laodicea Church Age is the church age that falls at the end of the Age of Grace (Rev. 3:14-22)! The Church Age began at Pentecost (Acts 2) and will end with the Rapture of the Church. After the Rapture of the Church, the apostate, lifeless and christless church which is left will last 3 1/2 more years until the Mark of the Beast is implemented by Satan under his antichrist after the execution, resuscitation and ascension of the Two Witnesses (Matt. 24:15-19, 2 Thes. 2:3-12, Rev. 11; 13; 14:7-12; 17-18:2). When the Rapture takes place at the beginning of the seven-year tribulation, all believers (Jew and Gentile) in Jesus Messiah will be removed and all that will be left on planet earth will be millions upon millions of apostate "Christians" who have NEVER had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in Spirit and TRUTH, but played delusion church without and saving relationship the TRUE Christ of Holy Scriptures (Matt. 7:21-23, John 1:12; 3:3-7, Romans 10:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9)!

This final church age will end with the Rapture but the apostate church which is left will last 3 1/2 more years until the Mark of the Beast!

This church age (The Laodicean Church Age) also appears in the EXPONENTIAL technological zenith of man, which through the works of their hands have created a technological society which has NO NEED of their ETERNAL Creator and Savior and have the ingrained mindset that they "need of nothing" spiritually, especially our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Rev. 3:14-22)! Evolution has replaced CREATION, man has replaced ALMIGHTY GOD, lawlessness has replaced RIGHTEOUSNESS, deeds and works have replaced SAVING GRACE, materialism and godless pleasures have replaced a SAVING RELATIONSHIP to Almighty God and the JOY of THE LORD. How many today call themselves "Christians" and even go to "church" and do not follow, obey or recognize the HOLY God of the Scripture and His Savior Jesus Christ! This is the Laodicean mind; a life without Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and a feel-good, self accommodating, self-gratifying and self-satisfying goodness which can NEVER deliver one's soul in the Day of Judgment (Matt. 7:21-23, Rom. 10:2-4, Heb. 9:27, Rev. 3:16-20; 20:11-14)! Jesus is the One who came to give life and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 10:10-11)! He is the missing PIECE of our life and when He is received we will find that He is ALL and ALL to His fallen creation (John 5:39-40; 6:35, 51; 8:32-36; 10:10-11; 11:25; 14:6; 1 Cor. 1:29-31, 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 1-2; Rev. 21:22:1-5).

 Jesus is the One who came to give life and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY in RIGHTEOUSNESS! He is the missing PIECE of our life and when He is received we will find that He is ALL and ALL to His fallen creation!

This Laodicean Church Age is like the rich man who had bigger plans for bigger barns, greater security and comfort without a saving relationship to His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Luke 12:16-21)! What he refused to learn throughout his vain temporal life is that deadmen take absolutely nothing with them when they die (Gen. 3:17-19, Job. 1:21, Eccl. 1-12, Matt. 7:24-27, John 11:25, 1 Tim. 6:7, 1 John 4:10, Rev. 20:11-15). He was quite comfortable with his material things and sought diligently more comfort in expanding his vain life (Eccl. 1-12)! This man had ZERO ETERNAL REALITY and perspectives and was quite comfortable living out his vain life without His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Rom. 1:18-32, Prov. 14:12)!  No wonder the LORD of ETERNAL LIFE called him a FOOL! "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment - Heb. 9:27". There is no shortage of fools in our day and tragically many of them will die in their sins because they refuse to hear the saving message in LOVE from Almighty God, "Repent and be made right with Almighty God your Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 6:63)!"

There is no shortage of fools in our day and tragically many of them will die in their sins because they refuse to hear the saving message in LOVE from God, "Repent and be made right with Almighty God your Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH!"

The ETERNAL Lamb, Savior, and Propitiation of the world called him a fool and his unbelief, darkened mind and delusional thinking came to and fall; and ETERNALLY GREAT was his fall (Matt. 7:24-27, Luke 12:16-21, Rev. 20:11-15)! My friends, can you not see that this is our day here in America today and in the world! Technological comforts EXPONENTIALLY abound for all in every facet of life! Whether you have a lot or little it is a good bet that one has internet, cell phones, flat-screen TVs, a house or apartment to live in, a car to drive. government assistance for food, housing, medical coverage etc., bountiful supplies of all types of food and supermarkets, technology, luxury, comfort, and ease! Societal advancements in living, housing, travel, medicine, and life expectancy are taken for granted and have made us for the most part unthankful, greedy, selfless, unhappy, unsatisfied and complacent!

Our good friends at Prophecy Update have put out this great 12-minute video on the Laodicean Church and we wanted to share it with you! Enjoy to the glory of God!

Even so, come Lord Jesus! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
