The Golden Sceptre

Leave a comment

Hebrews 4

The ending verse of the chapter is these words:

16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need. source

Words I noticed:
Confidence
Throne
Grace (Power)
Receive MERCY
Find Grace (Power)
Help
Time of need

Throne.  GOD has a throne. He has a throne because HE is KING. The ultimate Ruler, Authority, and Power.
We are offered the privilege to approach Him. The Golden Sceptre has been extended!
And when we accept, we find Grace and Power to help us, in our time of need, and just because. Just because we are His.  It’s Mercy. It’s Grace. It’s for His Own.

I encourage you to read the whole book of Hebrews particularly today, chapter 4.

And be thankful.

Means to Meet

2 Comments

I can believe people are hungry for love, normalized fornication and everyday adultery prove people want to be loved but they are clueless that love is not found in sin.
What is sin anyway?
Simply, it is meeting a legitimate need in an illegitimate way.

Do we not know that GOD is and was aware of our needs before we were?!
And that He provided legitimate means to meet those needs?

But alas we don’t like His Ways. They often involve a waiting period which means: discipline!

That is not a friendly word in our world, is it?
Albeit, runners (and walkers) are well familiar with this word, discipline.
It’s par for their course; yet for the joy set before them, they take it on gladly.

I’d like to be wrong but I don’t think I am when I say people are not looking for answers, not looking for truth. They are looking for validation.
They want to keep doing what they are doing and be told they are right in the doing of it.

Who could blame them?
GOD.

And HE has and that is the message of Scripture.

TURN FROM YOUR SINS TO GOD.

Who do you know wants to hear that?

And what will it take to get people to where they are willing to hear that message?

That’s what I am wondering about this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Honestly, I get weary of these questions and wonderings. I know they are not popular. But they keep coming.wake up world
And I keep hoping someone will wake up and smell the Tribulation and flee the Coming Wrath and receive The Testimony and The Righteousness of YESHUA and be delivered from death to LIFE.

It was more than 20 years ago and I am still convinced HOLY SPIRIT tenderly and firmly impressed on me (I remember precisely where I was, seated at a table with other precious choir members when the message came) that churched people do not take GOD seriously.

HE does NOT approve.

What would taking GOD seriously walk out like in your life today?

I’m not there yet, but I’m looking for Sisters and Brothers to come along with me on this journey.

Insurance, Assurance

A sentence settled in this morning and does not appear to be leaving. 

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

Praying the sinner’s prayer as it has been called for ages, because we are afraid of going to hell is not salvation.
We don’t get saved because we are afraid of going to hell. Now it does point us in the right direction toward salvation.  Of that, I am certain and grateful.

We get saved because we have had enough of carrying around the conviction and filth of sin and we have come to know we cannot save ourselves and we have become certain JESUS’ Sacrifice and Resurrection is enough to save even me (and you).   It’s a GIFT.
Faith is a gift! And when it is offered to you by HOLY SPIRIT, accept it immediately!  You have no guarantee He will offer it to you again. Here’s a LINK to some Scripture to help explain. salvation

Father GOD, it seems to me there are people, perhaps a lot of them, who do not want to go to hell; they want a way out of hell — who wouldn’t want to escape that place of heinous torment?  But do they want YOU? Do they want YOU cleaning up the way they think and do? Do they know that their sins are not just bad but deadly? Do they know that being sinners means we deserve hell? Do they know that YOU want to save them not just from hell but death and corruption and evil and practicing evil? Do people know that sin is evil? That their sins are evil?  Oh, Father, I want them so much to KNOW this. Not because I want to condemn them and hurt them and put them down. No. I want them to KNOW YOU. I want them to live. I want them to be free. To learn to practice sin less and less. I want them to not only miss hell but NOT MISS YOU.  And yet this I know JUST me telling them is not enough, YOU, HOLY SPIRIT, must convict them, and then when they agree with You, assure them that YOU have forgiven them and received them as YOUR OWN. Please do this for any Lost One who comes to this page and every Lost One that I have on my mind right now. Thank You, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA HaMASHIACH. Father GOD, thank You for saving me, thank You for keeping me saved, and thank You for helping me every day. Amen and amen.

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

You get JESUS when you come to JESUS, for JESUS.
