Hello,
God's Blessings to Everyone :)
Well I don't really don't know
what to write here, I'm kind of bummed at myself because I sinned, and
I'm totally not worthy to be talking or writing about God at the moment,
I feel like Paul when He said, ' Disqualified ' well that's me,
disqualified, but since I'm dead in my sin, I may as well write the
lesson(s) I've learned.
First and I've learned this
lesson a million times: When you try to serve God and you are in
sin, it is punishment in itself. Evil just evades all the goodness
that a person may have created. - Hence an ounce of foolishness
outdoes a lot of honor. -- It's true.
Ok this is the main lesson:
The Spirit vs The Flesh
This is the difference, The
Spirit gives you a future and a hope.
The Flesh gives you pleasure
for maybe this life, but it offers no future and no hope after say 80
years on this earth.
That is the difference
between living for God and living for nothing, or more commonly the
things of this life.
One of Satan's lies, is: "
Have
Everything Now!! " ( I just
heard Billy Graham say this or something like this on tv )
Give into the sinful pleasures, lust, commit adultery,
have sex even though you are not married, etc.. etc... etc...
" It
Doesn't Matter "
Is Satan's war cry to everyone.
Along with:
" You've got plenty of time to get with God "

MacArthur - www.gracetoyou.com

A lot of people buy into all this, but
God's like:
(click)  And I'll give you a Future:
A Future with God includes
the Following:
Heaven
New Heavenly City Jerusalem
Eternal Life
A New Name
A Home or Mansion
An Adopted Son of God

An Heir of God
New Glorified, Spiritual Body
New Heaven
New Earth
King
Priest
Wedding Supper of The Lamb -
Blessed are all those who are called
The Judgment Seat -- Rewards
if you've lived a life worthy of God
The Millennial Reign of a
1,000 years on Earth of Ruling and Reigning with Jesus - Then Eternity
The people who make the bad
choice and go after the things in this world as if it is everything and
go after pleasures now, instead of living a Holy Life in which is
God's Will, at the end will have no hope and no future, all they will
get is life now on earth and then they will be punished forever in the
Lake of Fire.
God's way is this:
Jesus who knew the joy that
was set before him ( The Future with God ) endured the cross.
( despising the shame )
We just have to endure and
persevere to the end in Holiness:
Peter says in the Bible:
Abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
These are the two ways:
Jesus or No Jesus
Also, God is Holy and God
hates Sin.
Virtue - Lust
Holiness - Lust
Righteousness - Evil
Purity - Lust
Obedience - Defiance
Loyalty - Cavalierness
Faithfulness - Cavalierness
(Unfaithfulness)
Clinging to Jesus -
Indifference to Jesus
This is the seriousness of
the Battle we are in in relation to not giving into sinfulness.
In the Old Testament the
Israelites who sinned would offer up an animal on their behalf and what
they would do is they would put their hands on the animal's head and
then the Priest would kill or cut the animal's throat as if the sin were
transferred to the animal and the animal would die in the persons place
for the sin.
This is how
serious sin/Evil Desires are.
It took the blood and death
of these animals to make things right with God again, after the
Israelites did something bad.
Jesus was the fulfillment of
the animal sacrifices, He had to die and give his blood for us to
be accepted by God.
Believing and Following
Jesus will give to one a future.
So what does a person do on
earth for eighty years? -- Learn to become Holy in knowing about Jesus
and God.
And to Bear fruit for the
Kingdom of God.
 And to:
' Know, Love, and Serve God
- This is the Purpose of Life
' -Catholic
Catechism
Also, like John MacArthur just
said, Something like, ' The only thing important in a person's
life is How much they know God or know about God. '
Everything else is pointless.
All other wisdom, life-styles or other knowledge offers no future, no hope.
Only Jesus can give a person a future after they die.
Well since this is a
Strategic Watchman Article, I cannot fail in my duty as a Watchman for
the Arrival of Jesus, which to me is agonizing at the moment because I
am suffering from the consequences of sinning. I feel like the maidens
in the Parable of the ten Virgins, who were without oil, The parable
talks about ten virgins who were waiting for the bridegroom to appear,
five of them had oil to keep their lamps full of light but five of them
had no oil and their lamps went out. When the bridegroom arrived the
five who were smart and faithful became honored in being invited
in to the wedding, but the other five who were foolish and unfaithful received no such honor.
One thing I want to write is
that no one knows when Jesus is going to return, but with the things
written in the Bible - The Book of Timothy, for example - in talking
about the last days, where it says people will become lovers of
themselves more than lovers of God and a lot of other characteristics of
the last days or end time, these things make a strong case for the days
we are living in as being the last days.
Like what I have written at
the top of this page near the Rapture picture, it says
brothers we are not in darkness that that day (The Day of The Lord)
should overtake us as a thief.
The Bible verse says: When
they are crying Peace and safety
Most likely During the
( That begins the End Of The
World )
Then sudden destruction will
happen. Again, the Bible says we are not in darkness that, that
day or time period should surprise us.

This peace deal could
literally happen any month from here on out!
So for anyone not looking
for Jesus to return like the unwise maidens in the Parable above,
All I
can say is keep an eye open for the wedding!
Jesus is the only one who offers a Future! No one or nothing
else does!
Let's not be like the unwise maidens in the parable
above who became half-hearted and let their future slip away from
themselves.
Instead we need to all strive to be like the wise maidens
who persevered to the end in faithfulness, and were thus invited into
the wedding.
One of the Big Morals of the Story is:
Jesus is Returning for A Royal Wedding!! So be and stay ready!
( And then for Armageddon. )
I think this is the time and
the days in which Paul was talking about when he wrote
1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6
1
But of the times and the
seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say,
Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail
upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye,
brethren, are not
in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of
light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of
darkness.
6 Therefore let us not
sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
That begins the End of The World
-- A Peace-Deal signed
with Israel -- could be a close reality.
' Paul
says Christians are not in darkness as to the
Day of The Lord, which takes place
with-in the Seven
Year Peace Deal,
when the people will be crying peace and safety
'
Let's
look at the Current situation in Israel and the Middle East
Israel is in the process of
planning the destruction of Iran's Nuclear facilities. Israel is
thinking Iran may have a Nuclear Bomb(s) in two years. The USA at the
moment has two aircraft carriers over in the Middle East - This makes things
a bit interesting.
So Remember a
Peace Deal of Seven Years in length is going to be confirmed
with Israel and Others and this peace deal begins The End of
The World. So anything noteworthy happening with
Israel is momentous as far as Bible Prophecy is concerned.
Events could happen in
this order over the next couple of months to two years:
-
Israel destroys Iran's
Nuclear facilities
-
Syria attacks Israel because
of it
-
(Isaiah
17:1) Damascus possibly gets Nuked
-
(Revelation
3:10) The Rapture Happens
Here ? -- Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I
will also keep thee
from the
hour of trial
which shall try all those who dwell on the earth.
-
(Daniel
9:27) The Seven Year
Peace Deal Happens, Bringing about the seven year end of the world
-
(Ezekiel 38
& 39) Then Russia, Iran, and all the other
countries/Nations in Ezekiel's Prophecy attack Israel.
For the Joy set before Jesus, He
endured the cross
Jesus offers a future - Be Holy -
Live in the Spirit - Be Holy - The flesh offers you pleasure for right now but
no future.
For the Joy set before Him, Jesus
endured the cross
