Forty Years

1 Comment

I don’t think a majority of people (especially here in America) are afraid to do evil.
But we should be, don’t you think?
Don’t you think we should be afraid to sin against GOD?
Shouldn’t we fear the consequences of doing evil?

1 Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.  source Judges 13

Forty years.
For forty years the Israelites were slaves to the Philistines. Why? Because they did evil in the sight of the LORD.

What is evil?
The simple answer — sin.

Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

James 4:4“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”   (KJV)

Adultery.  Just one of the evils men/women practice. Are they afraid?
They should be.
What else is evil?

Mark 7: 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,  22 Thefts,  covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.  (KJV)

Are we getting the picture?
ALL sin is evil and we should be deathly afraid of committing evil against the LORD GOD.  And yet unregenerate men and women cannot help themselves – You see we are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.

Have we listed all the evils mankind commits?
Not even close.

So now what?
Back to Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

It’s a fine place to start.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” (KJV)

Is HE near you?
Do you sense you need a Savior?
Then agree with Him and believe Him now, while you can.

Glory on a Page

Leave a comment

I am eager to share this with you.

Leviticus 5

This Old Testament depiction of New Testament deliverance is glory on a page. 

The early verses of the Chapter set some groundwork. 
We are born guilty but without knowledge of it; as we age it gnaws at us that we are not RIGHT with GOD.  See verse 4 

At the time of this passage, sin offerings were brought and the priest would offer the sacrifice and make atonement for the sinner. 

5 If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must confess the sin he has committed,  6 and he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin he has committed: a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering. And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.  source

And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin. 

23 The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, 24 but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7 source 

Guilt is established. The need for forgiveness is established. Our need for a priest, a mediator between us and God is established.  Our need to be forgiven is established. 

And here on an Old Testament page is glory for me. 

Verses 10, 13, 16, and 18. Four times we read these glorious words:

you will be forgiven

You will be forgiven! 

When the BLOOD of JESUS the CHRIST is applied to our sin account, we are forgiven! 

WE ARE FORGIVEN! 
The sinners part? 
Come.
When you are made aware of your sin by HOLY SPIRIT, don’t run from the Priest, run to HIM and accept HIS offer and You Will Be Forgiven!

Glory on a Page!!

Until Next Time, with Holy hugs, Kathie

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.
