The Truth Is Also This:
... that a True Christian
is NOT an agent of PEACE
for The Lord Said
"I Did Not Come To Bring Peace
But Discord..."
For, if Christ Stood among us
today, here and now,
He Would Be the single
most controversial
least popular
man on earth!
The Son of God
Is not about winning
popularity contests
certainly in this world,
satan's world
which was "given" to *it*
when it fell from grace upon it
eons ago...
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS -
EARTH IS NOT A GODLY PLACE NOW
IT DOES BELONG TO THE EVIL ONE
for a short time,
a very short time...
THAT IS WHY
it is most essential
to do what a Christian
is supposed to be doing here:
sharing the Good News
as they were given to us
by the Messiah Himself.
SHARING and SPREADING
The Truth
(also known as
The Good News)
will certainly not
make you popular
or appraised by
the senseless majority
or even appreciated
in any way, shape or form.
Sharing The Truth
will only make you enemies.
It will be dismissed
as merely "an opinion"
"a truth" not The Truth,
a single individual's truth
not the Universal One.
In a wretched world
where the devil's influence
lies everywhere,
in a society led to believe
that tolerating every type
of behaviour and ideology
is being "GOOD"...
In a world where
the adversary is more popular
and deemed to be "cooler" -
The Truth,
that you are but a
messenger of,
will not be accepted
and will inexorably
fall on deaf ears
- always.
It will be dismissed as folly
or mere fable and myth.
And such a reception
will frustrate you.
And it will make you mad
that so many refuse to hear,
refuse to see...
refuse to believe
that God so Loved the world
that He sent a part of Himself
to die for its iniquities.
And so, when you insist,
and call on the heathen
to accept the Lord's Sacrifice
it will be perceived as
non-acceptance
ON YOUR PART...!
And you will then be labeled
the troublemaker,
the hatemonger,
the anti-social one...
Do you know what you
can and should do, then?
You can rejoice -
for you are being
controversial
and repelled
in His Image
and just like
his original disciples
were...
And just like He Was
Himself
Put to death
Crucified
FOR ALL OF US.
Be like Him;
for to be like Him
is to be worthy of Him
as Saviour
as Lord
as God
For He and
The Father
Are ONE -
ONE TRUE GOD
ONE CREATOR
And in your own sacrifice
you are accepting
His Sacrifice
for you
and for us all.
In your sacrifice
you become one of his lambs
and He, your Shepherd!
And this Shepherd
Will never let down his
beloved herd.
For the world was away from God
and through the Messiah,
the reconciliation was set.
And so, if we accept Our Lord
and His Great Sacrifice
we accept our Salvation
and GOD back into our lives
- so that the Earth can be
what it was meant to be
before the fall from grace of man
and the fallen angels as well.
Let those who cannot
grasp The Truth of it
see for themselves
on The Day
that is near!
And see they will!
AMEN!

Our glory is in Him! This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:23,24 NIV

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 KJV

Meditation 5/04 - 5/10 The Lord is faithful ESV
Paul's Exhortation to be Steadfast
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 ESV

You've guessed it, this post was really originally posted in the month of MAY - not November. In the year of 2008 - not 2011 at all.
Your host was in his thirties.

Some have asked me about the redemption of sin, the very concept of which they cannot grasp...
A simple way to answer is as follows:
basically, GOD Has allowed his creation -us- to be tested for his first creatures -the angels- were faithful for the greater part. But then discontent rose in the heart of one Lucifer and he was aware of the coming of man - and that made him extremely jealous. GOD would love these more than He loved even His angels? Lucifer set out to prove that man was unworthy of such love...
And so he and his fellow fallen angels fell to Earth just as man was created - and you know the rest of the story.
Man, through his woman, succumbed and proved Lucifer to be partly right - for man disobeyed GOD and proved to be less than trustworthy.
And so the test for humans endures - to this day.
And it will continue until GOD Decides that we have indeed reached the End of Time - because such time is required to elapse in order for all the souls that are meant to be born to actually come into existence upon this earth!
Is that so difficult to grasp?

To those who read this and dismiss it all as "fairytale material" - well be aware of one thing now:
THE DEVIL EXISTS.
So much evil throughout the world and ample paranormal phenomena has made quite the compelling case for that already...
The Devil is universal - in the sense that every culture has instinctively known of its existence and referred to it throughout the history of humanity.
Not enough evidence for you?
Evil has very power - mere suggestive thought or various other explanations cannot explain how such things as witchcraft and forces of the dark can actually have any power at all otherwise. There has to be a devil at the core of it all. The evil that men do can sometimes be explained by the fact that man is naturally bent towards committing such atrocities. However, it cannot explain the forces of darkness that are VERY REAL.
So there is a devil - be sure of that.
And if there is a devil - you can be surer of something else: THERE IS A GOD too.
Countless miracles are evidence of that, also...
More on those - on this very blog as well as its brother blog/sister site...
