May the 4th be with You? The ETERNAL Word of Almighty God - Sharper Than Any Light Saber!

Dear friends, being May 4th and if you can get past the title and read this full post you will be truly amazed at what the Word of Almighty God has to say about His precious Word, which is established FOREVER (Psalm 119:89, 144, 152, 160, 138:2, John 17:17)!

One of the things that I have been taught from the very beginning in helping children, adults and people in general how to learn a particular biblical truth is to use what they mentally know by experience or association. I have found by using what people know that it is easy to communicate to them the ETERNAL TRUTHS of Almighty God with the Holy Spirit's conviction, exhortation and correction (John 16:7-14). 

By using what they know it is easy to communicate to them the ETERNAL TRUTHS of Almighty God with the Holy Spirit's conviction and correction.

Since 1977, countless millions of individuals have been exposed to the Star Wars saga, which is an epic story of good verses evil. Millions around the world can relate to this movie series and to its characters. In the spirit of keeping to this principle that I shared with you at the beginning of this post and since Star Wars is once again dominant and front and center globally in the movie world; I will be doing a little series throughout the year on teaching core Bible TRUTHS via Star Wars examples. Sounds foolish to some no doubt, but our Lord in the days of His flesh did the exact same thing. Did He not?  From taxes, to Jewish traditions, to fig trees, to seeds, farming, fishing, shepherding, sheep, water, bread, nets, plows, light, darkness, taxes, children, leaven, harvest etc... the Lord Jesus used them all to communicate the wondrous TRUTHS of Almighty God and so will we!

Well OK then ... lets roll!

No weapon from this worldly realm can even begin to compare to the sword of Almighty God, which is forged in the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, LIGHT and TRUTH of Almighty God's ETERNAL Person Himself!

To Star Wars fans no weapon is more powerful and exciting than a light saber! This weapon was the weapon of choice of the Jedi Knights and the evil Sith lords in close combat situations. The light saber is a weapon that could cut through almost anything and was  absolutely deadly if it came across one of your body parts in a duel. In Paul's day, Paul used a very familiar weapon in the arsenal of the Roman elite solider to help describe to the saints the absolute cutting power of the Word of Almighty God (Heb. 4:12). This sword described by Paul was called the machaira! The machaira (sword) was a very sharp dagger for close combat fighting for slicing, cutting and stabbing one's opponent in battle. This short, extremely sharp dagger/sword was absolutely deadly in the hands of a master wielder. As we shall see in our study, out of all the weapons in the arsenal of mankind from stones to nuclear bombs, no weapon from this worldly realm can ever begin to compare to the sword of Almighty God (the Sword of the ETERNAL Spirit of Almighty God), which is forged in the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, LIGHT and TRUTH of Almighty God's ETERNAL Person Himself!

The light saber like the machaira/sword requires much learning, skill and training to use correctly against the enemy. So also is it with the Word of God! Many believers and unbelievers who have tried to wield this weapon in ignorance or unskilled have brought upon themselves the horrific consequences of their actions.

The light saber like the machaira/sword requires much learning, skill and training to use correctly against the enemy (Psalm 119, Psalm 119:1-2,16, 24, 47, John 17:17, Rom. 5:1-5, Heb. 11:1, 6, 1 John 5:3-4). So also is it with the Word of God! Many believers and unbelievers who have tried to wield this weapon in ignorance or in a unskilled manner have brought upon themselves the horrific consequences of their actions (Saved) - 1 Cor. 2:10-11, 3:1-3, Heb. 5:12, James 1:6-8, 3:13-18) - even to the point in willful ignorance unto their ETERNAL doom (Unsaved - Matt. 7:21-23, 22:11-23, 2 Peter 3:16, Jude 1:2-3, 17-19).

The Word and Sword of Almighty God is ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, LIGHT and TRUTH which can cut asunder all darkness, lies, deceit, slander, deception, evil euphemisms, twisted truths of fallen man and the Devil himself.

By the application of Almighty God's Word by faith, the child of God will grow to know with confidence, full assurance, experience and power how use this ETERNAL spiritual weapon that can defeat all principalities and powers (spiritual and human - Eph. 6:12) and that in its wielding "can pierce even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit; and of the joints and marrow (spirit and flesh), and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of every human heart (Heb. 4:12)! My dear friends, there is absolutely NO comparison; no light saber or human weapon since the beginning of creation (from stones to nuclear bombs) can EVER do that!

The Word and Sword of Almighty God is ETERNALLY RIGHTEOUS, LIGHT and TRUTH, which can cut asunder ALL darkness, lies, falsehood, deceit, slander, deception, evil euphemisms, twisted truths of fallen man and even the fallen master, the Devil himself. Satan is the father of all falsehood (John 8:44). He willingly abandoned ETERNAL REALITY, LIGHT, the ETERNAL ABSOLUTES of RIGHTEOUSNESS for delusion, error, anarchy, disorder and ETERNAL damnation (Isa. 14:12-15, Ezek. 28:12- 19, John 8:44, Rev. 20:10). Just as all the darkness can NEVER put out the tiniest of light or override 2 +2 = 4, nor can all the lies of Hell ever be true or stand before ETERNAL TRUTH; so also is the ETERNAL established POWER of Almighty God's Word and Sword that absolutely none can stand before it in Heaven above or in hell below (Psalm 119:89, 144, 152, 160, Matt. 18:18, John 16:7-11, 17:17, Heb. 4:12).

Just as all the darkness can NEVER put out the tiniest of light or override 2 +2 = 4, nor can all the lies of Hell ever be true or stand before ETERNAL TRUTH; so also is the ETERNAL established POWER of Almighty God's Word and Sword that absolutely none can stand before it in Heaven above or in hell below!

For the child of Almighty God (John 1:12) this is the weapon that our Heavenly Father has given us to wield as we walk and fight in this fallen world (John 16:7-11, 17:17, Eph, 6:10-19), which is ruled by Satan, its dark lord (Eph. 2:1-2).

If our ETERNAL Lord and Savior, who is THE ETERNAL Word of God used Almighty God's ETERNAL established Word with great authority and effect against the Gates of Hell's legions so can we!

Our Lord used the established Word of God in the days of His flesh at His testing by Satan to defeat him and send him fleeing (Matt. 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4:1-13). Our Lord used it against the unrighteous religious leaders and masses of Israel (Matt. 15:1-9, 21:41-46; 22:29-32; 37-46; 26:53-56; 63-64, Mark 3:29; 10:6-9;12:24: 13:14, Luke 4:16-20; John 5:39-40, 7:37-38). Our Lord also used it to correct and teach His disciples (Matt. 12:40; 16:21; 17:12; 24:44, Mark 3:29; 13:14, etc...). If our ETERNAL Lord and Savior, who is THE ETERNAL Word of God (John 1:1-3) used Almighty God's ETERNAL established Word with great authority and effect against the Gates of Hell's legions so can we (Matt. 18:18; 28:18, John 14:12; 17:17, Acts 1:8)! Jesus has commanded us and has encouraged us to do so with great courage unto great victory for the Father's ETERNAL glory and honor (Matt. 28:18-20, John 17, Acts 1:8)!

Almighty God has given us the most powerful weapon in ALL ETERNITY to use at will as we walk through time in which none can stand before (demonic or fallen man)!

Beloved, our fight is a spiritual one as the Holy Spirit has told us in God's Word (Eph. 6:10-18)! Almighty God has given us the most powerful weapon in ALL ETERNITY to use at will as we walk through time in which none can stand before (demonic or fallen man (Rom. 8:28-39). God has given us the most powerful weapon to use in prayer for Almighty God's glory, will and way (Matt. 18:18, John 16:7-11, John 5:14-15); and He has given us the most powerful weapon to use even against our fallen heart and old nature (Rom. 6:19, 7:18-25, 1 Cor. 11:31, 2 Cor. 10:5, Eph. 5:26, 1 John 1:9). Dear friends, consider this... If all the billions of people throughout the world were in confederacy against, if all the nuclear bombs and weapons of time were used against, if all the deception and slanders since the beginning of time were executed against, if all the floods and horrific conditions and settings of time were unleashed upon, nothing in this world and in the spiritual one can EVER overturn nor override 2 + 2 = 4!

If this established absolute of time (2 +2 = 4) is absolutely sure, established and unchangeable, then how much ETERNALLY more so  and sure is the Word of God which He has exalted above His ETERNAL Person and Name.

If this established absolute of time (2 +2 = 4) is absolutely sure, established and unchangeable, then how much ETERNALLY more so  and sure is the Word of God which He has exalted above His ETERNAL Person and Name (Psalm 138:2). It is absolutely impossible to overturn or override the ETERNALLY ESTABLISHED Word of Almighty God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalm 119:89, 144, 152, 160, 138:2)! Even Almighty God Himself has placed His ETERNAL Word before His own WONDROUS Name (Psalm 138:2)!!! O... glory!!  Dearly beloved, do you truly understand how absolutely wonderful this TRUTH is to the child of Almighty God and how ETERNALLY dreadful this is to the lawless unrepentant hater of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS?! When this wondrous ETERNAL TRUTH gets a hold of the believing heart and is executed in the yielded life to the will of the Father there is absolutely no limit to what God will do in this one's life for His ETERNAL GLORY and HONOR! Oh beloved, when this wondrous ETERNAL TRUTH brings conviction, repentance and the reception of Almighty God's PERFECT propitiation found in Jesus Messiah (1 John 4:10) to the unsaved transgressor's heart such a one instantly will find ETERNAL pardon, redemption, sanctification, RIGHTEOUSNESS, ETERNAL LIFE, a Divine calling, etc... etc... (1 Cor. 1:30)!

When this wondrous ETERNAL TRUTH gets a hold of the believing heart and is executed in the yielded life to the will of the Father there is absolutely no limit to what God will do in this one's life for His ETERNAL GLORY and HONOR!

Dear friend, what an ETERNAL foundation to build ones life upon here in time and to outwork Almighty God's calling and will for our lives in His grace and mercy (Isa. 26:3, 40:28-31, Matt. 7:24-25, 1 Cor. 2:9, 15:58, 2 Cor. 1:20, 5:17-21, Col. 3:1-4, Phil 4:13, 1 John, 1:9, 3:1-4, 4:4, 5:14-15, Rev. 1:5, 17-18, 22:1-5 etc...etc...!

My dear friends, may it be our true desire to fully exercise all of Almighty God's wondrous resources and promises, knowing that He changes not and His Word is ETERNALLY established! May we be rightly applying God's Word in our life and learning to be - in fear, reverence and great awe in the grace and mercy of God - master wielders of the ETERNAL WORD of God for His GLORY and HONOR in these last days!

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

Servants of Christ First - Conservatives Second

There is a demonic massive power shift underway in Washington D.C. today, which has fully abandoned our Judeo/ Christian heritage and founding principles (1 Tim 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-5)! Many evangelical Christians are seeing this EXPONENTIAL shift and change in our country toward a demonic secular, socialist state – especially in the last ten years – which is, quite frankly, scaring them to death!

This concern is noteworthy and quite merited in light of the significant changes that are now happening, but many Evangelicals are IGNORANT of the Scriptural prophecies (predictions) describing these very events. They are stumbling over and wondering what Almighty God has been allowing to transpire here in the U.S.A. which is leading many to compromise and abandon the Word of God and Almighty God's precious promises for good intentions and unregenerate false prophets of optimism. This EXPONENTIAL and rapidly shifting social/ political environment combined with a lack of understanding of what Almighty God’s Word clearly teaches about the day we live in HAS MADE for great confusion.

The ETERNAL sovereignty of Almighty God will shipwreck a believer who does not understand nor seeks God's perfect will for one's life.

Many Evangelicals today are doubting and becoming offended by Almighty God’s providential management of the current status of the United States. The ETERNAL sovereignty of Almighty God will shipwreck a believer who does not understand nor seeks His perfect will for one's life. It has also unified political evangelicals with other apostate "Christian" conservative groups under the "Name" of Jesus Christ bringing together both group's relative beliefs of who Jesus Christ is. This apostasy and ecumenicalism is bringing to the forefront the reality that many DO NOT truly have a saving relationship to the Christ of Holy Scripture. There is absolutely nothing wrong in working with other apostate "Christian" conservatives for the here and now but when they UNIFY under the Name of Jesus in a relativistic way there can only be confusion and the horrific ETERNAL ramifications that will follow (Matt. 7:21-23, 2 Tim. 3:7, 2 Peter 3:16, Rev. 20:11-15, 22:15). In light of our day, the Holy Scripture explains quite clearly what the Last Days would be like, and Almighty God expects His dear children NOT to be ignorant and foolish but wise and understanding about our day in which we are living in (Matthew 24; 1, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Thess. 2:3, Timothy 4:1-3).

"This know also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:1-7)."

We as Evangelicals and Conservatives here in America should do all we possibly can to slow the EXPONENTIAL decaying process of this “dying corpse” of a once-great nation by being the salt of the earth and light of the world, as Christ taught (Matt. 5:13-14). However our faith and hope should NEVER rest in Washington D.C., or the Constitution, or even in practicing our Judeo/ Christian conservative ideology (Jer. 17:5-9). Our faith and hope need to be ANCHORED and ROOTED in Almighty God and His precious ETERNAL promises. The days of seeking to restore America to its former glory are well over. Wake up, my Beloved! Our nation - and the entire world - has been decimated from the ongoing transgressions against the spiritual and natural laws of Almighty God (Isaiah 24:5). We are at the point of no return, the bottom of the vortex-like it or not. This is a hard pill of reality for many Evangelicals and Conservatives to swallow, but it must!

These days in which we are living in are the catalyst leading to the soon-approaching Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon, and Lord Jesus Christ's glorious second coming to earth to establish His 1000 Year Kingdom!

Praying (petitioning) for our nation (1 Timothy 2:1-4), having Tea Parties, calling our representatives and elected officials, being up to date on the issues, living out our Judeo/ Christian ideals, etc... is all fine and dandy, but DO NOT deceive yourselves into thinking that all of this effort and wishful thinking will re-establish a “Christian” conservative America or a “Christian” conservative utopia here on earth, with the gullible imagination that we will all live happily ever after. Again, my friend, we have passed the point of no return in this regard. The steak has been left out in the sun too long and is totally spoiled.

This delusional reasoning is the Satanic Kool-Aid of the day that is being peddled by “religious” conservatives (Rom. 10:2-4, 2 Cor. 11:13-15) who do not honor or know not Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (Matt. 7:21-23; John 4:24; Jude 1:3-4). Many Evangelicals at present are drinking this poison and passing the jug around. Many are departing the faith and sound doctrine and apostatizing into many subtle isms. (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Peter 2:1). Warning, Be not deceived!

Sadly, many Evangelicals today are oblivious to this Biblical reality. These have submersed themselves into the current events of the day and the restoration of Washington and it has absolutely consumed all of their time and energy. They have constructed a wall of worry, ignorance and temporal foresight so high that they cannot see and comprehend the hour and day in which we are living in. These days in which we are living in are the catalyst leading to the soon-approaching Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon, and Lord Jesus Christ's glorious second coming to earth to establish His 1000 Year Kingdom! (2 Thess. 2:2-3, Rev 16:13-16, 19:11-21).

My friend, there is a Big Bad Tribulation headed our way and nothing is going to stop that event from transpiring.

My friend, there is a Big Bad Tribulation headed our way and nothing is going to stop that event from transpiring. These have set their “tent pegs” deep in the world's reasoning and system, and their affections are on the things of temporal time. These have given a distant second status to their position in Christ and the Gospel proclamation to all the world (Matt. 28:19-20; Rom 1:16). They have lost their ETERNAL vision and focus, and the Heavenly calling given them by Almighty God, which is needed so drastically for today for our nation and world (1 Cor. 2:5; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 1:3; Col. 3:1).

Our Hope and future expectations are not to be found in this passing world but only in Almighty God and His eternal promises (1 John 2:15-17).

Our Holy admonition from Almighty God is that we are to be Christ’s servants (slave) first, and conservative patriots second. This is the proper order for the child of God (John 1:12) today.
.
Remember my Evangelical Conservative friends, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and a big bad tribulation (Matt 24) is at our doorstep called "The Day of the Lord". May the Lord Jesus Christ have first place in our lives and may His glorious Gospel message be proclaimed in these Last Days (1 Cor. 10:31, 2 Cor. 5:17-21).

To God be the glory!

Empty Cities (1961) - Moody Institute of Science

Dear Friends, This was Moody Bible Institute movie made in 1961 and its laws and principles have never changed even though we have EXPONENTIALLY as a nation since 1961. A year after this Moody Documentary was made, Prayer was removed from the U.S. schools and we have NEVER recovered or have been the same! As you watch this very insightful doc ask yourself, will America's fate be any different?

Be brave and let reality hit you between the eyes!

We as a nation need the Lord Jesus the ETERNAL Savior and Propitiation for man more than ever (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 John 4:10)! For the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand!
