JN.11:25 TESTIFY OF JESUS CHRIST #1

SONS OF BABYLON They come at you in all forms and deliver their worldly "wisdom" that God laughs at and scorns. They reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Some are openly anti-christ.They can be on t.v, movies, at the local coffee house, in newspapers, magazines, radio, internet, books, etc, etc.
Often, they openly take God's name in vain, including the Lord Jesus Christ. They pontificate on philosophies, religions, astrology, re-incarnations, "higher power", channeling spirits, hearing from the dead, aura reader's and everything under the sun but the saving grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

They are of all religious persuasions and backgrounds. They deny the love of God that allows everyone, by grace, to come directly to God The Son, who is Jesus Christ, and seek forgiveness of sins. Often "sin" is not a part of their vocabulary. They are holier then thou and some have elaborate systems of belief or intellectual platitudes that can dazzle even the most wise among men. Yet one characteristic stands out among them: they can't stand Jesus Christ and will not agree he is The Savior of their lives.
See them coming up to you, singing glory halleluhah, and their trying to sock it to you in the name of the Lord. These are most dangerous. They always have some condition you must fulfill, some command or belief that's new and exciting but flies in the face of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Maybe a new book or a "just found" ancient writing, or perhaps a new and exciting interpretation of established bible truth like praying the dead into salvation who died in disbelief . Or how about Jesus was the first creation of God The Father, or the Holy Spirit is a spirit of God and not God the Spirit, or a legal rite that,if not observed, gets you ex-communicated or not saved at all! Some of them say to speak in tongues is a vital sign of being born again! Saved by faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ for remission of our sins and His resurection for our eternal life is never enough for them, They make merchandise of the unwary (Mt.7:15, 21).

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE Don't get upset with Jesus. So many have in this age and starting way back in recorded time. Few really want to hear they need a savior nor can they fathom why. It's nonsense to them this talk of spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. But that's why He came: to deliver us from sin and, its penalty, the second death which is eternal seperation from God.

"Nobody did it" is the crime of the century. We live in the world of "plausable deniability" and a wink and a nod. If it's "legal" it's good. Just take a look at war today. We always see the mote in our neighbors eye but not the beam in our own. The greatest lover is the man, Jesus, so many hate. He did not court the world's favor. He gave His life so we could have life from the junk pile of our deadly condition of self-conceit, fabricated self-importance and our glorious human nature that is forever seeking its gain. Oh how we love ourselves. It's the greatest cult in the world. And its dope is the greatest lie...the glory of self. Who said sin is a fiction? It's our condition at birth; an inheritance from the past. It IS our nature! The proof of it is that everyone must die. You see, death was not a given at the beginning. It came about from the fall.

It's not hard to be liked. All you have to do is smile and play the game. What is seemingly nearing impossibility is to take up our cross and follow The Lord Jesus Christ who, long ago, asked: "let he who has committed no sin cast the first stone".

MAMA LOVE "And her children shall call her blessed"(Prov.31:28).
Mama, don't let them try and tell you, your no reason and no rhyme for the silent little secrets in a child's precious time. Like God's sunrise and His ancient sea I somehow think your love must always be to live out my longest night, the bitter struggle, the sacred fight. Mama, oh Mama, for me you always tried.

CAN I HEAR AMEN? Give glory to the Lord our God. His Son made the heavens and the earth and He made us. Praise Him who is soon to come. Can I hear amen.
Are we getting up for Jesus sake or I.B.M? You get it? Who do you really love? He is waiting for you. If your reading, rejoice in The Lord. Your time is still in God's hands if your willing. Thru Christ you are insured to live forever!
Oh Father, I want to be like Jesus. He is our sure hope and joy. Lord, you promised to finish and make everything new.
GRACE IS FREE THE REST COMES WITH A BILL I had to change my address..TOO much junk mail. Here is a lesson from the Holy Spirit. Satan will give us a myriad of "free" things of this world so long as we want them. When he offered our Lord the kingdoms of this world if Jesus would bow down and worship him our Lord told him "my Kingdom is not of this world". We are to live in the heavenly Kingdom that Jesus opened to us. One day He will call us home. We will be in GOD'S Kingdom forevermore. And we will assist our Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth after He returns and overcomes all opposition and chains the devil up for 1000 years. The stuff of this world ,whatever it is, is worth nothing compared to the riches that awaits us thru Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our Father, GOD ALMIGHTY, will take care of us now because we love His only begotten Son, The Lord of Glory is his name. By Him and He alone GOD hears our prayer's and will respond to us according to His will knowing full well what's best for us. This we receive by faith for without faith it is impossible to please GOD. And we will not fall back to our old ways and dead nature. Our God will finish what He started in us for we are His eternally and He knew us from before we were conceived in our mother's womb . Do I hear AMEN and Praise the Lord, He is unbelievable!
We who love Jesus are humbled by His example and life. We are the richest people on the earth. Why just the other day I paid myself $100,000,000,000 for my labor of love. I wont take it up with me when our Lord calls us home. What a shame to leave all the stuff behind. The question is what do we have waiting for us when we get with GOD ALMIGHTY and the family? Will we get a crown or two? Do we even know what they are in the heavenly accounting sheet? Oh Lord strengthen us in your Holy Spirit to search our hearts and be honest with ourselves. Help us to answer your call.
