The Dark Side

How can you heal after being wounded emotionally or psychologically? No matter what type of trauma you have endured your soul has extraordinary resilience and powerful resources to help you rebuild yourself. You were born a beautiful child with a pure soul and inherent dignity. No one – not even someone who was hurt or violated you – can take that away from you. Your majestic soul is always remains intact. And provides you with the spiritual strength and light that comes from pain and darkness is even deeper that regular light.

Many have suffered horrific pain, some feel completely unloved and unwanted. And many don’t know anything but struggle. I’m here to say, that no matter what we’ve experienced. The pain and struggle we’ve endured. There is one who loves us beyond anything you can even imagine. We are individually made on purpose.

In Psalm 139, David’s praying to God and he says. “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Yes, speaks of the care and attention which God has made us. By now, God has made billions of human beings, but we are not mass produced. We are not churned out in a mechanistic way. Each one of us individually handcrafted, and there is something fearful about how we’ve been made.

When a mother first gets to hold her child as being born, there is a sense of awe. The baby is not intimidating,and certainly not better that them in anything yet. But there is a sense of awe and fearfulness because they are suddenly aware of how precious and awesome this bundle of joy is in their arms.

There’s something fearful about us, and that actually doesn’t change when we grow up and we’re no longer a baby as we once were. There is something so intricate and meaningful about how God has made us that we really should be in awe of the fact. David goes on to say, “I praise you or I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

It’s actually worth saying something of God’s unique creative capabilities in how each of us has been made. We should not take one another’s existence for granted. The human body is not the human body. Is an extraordinary work of art by the God of all creation. It’s a unique work of art. However, we might be tempted to see ourselves, God actually sees us in a very different kind of way.

The Crucifixion Of Jesus

Seven hundred years before our Savior went to Calvary, God revealed what Jesus would endure and accomplish for us on the cross. He did this through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah saw the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ, and he prophesied about it in amazing detail. In fact Isaiah chapter 53 has been referred to as the great redemptive chapter of the Old Testament.

There is so much in that one chapter about what The Lord suffered on our behalf, what He went through in our place – as our substitute. That I wanted to point out some things Jesus did for us at the cross.

The Crucifixion Of Jesus

Jesus’s crucifixion was the most horrifying, painful, and disgraceful form of capital punishment used in the ancient world. The method of his execution involved, Jesus underwent beatings, mocking, and flogging which is done with a whip with nine strips of leather that had stone, and bone that was sharpened. It is called a nine tail whip.When beaten with this it tore the flesh so deep that his skeleton and organs was showing. The soldiers whipped Jesus 39 times. this was after he was beaten with fists and mocked. The crown of thorns was not just sat on his head it was beat into his skull, until in punctured his skin. The Bible says Jesus was beaten so horribly that he was unrecognizable. And the people couldn’t even stand to look at him.

He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from who men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him. Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering, yet we consider him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him/ and by him wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53: 3-5

Isaiah also said, That we all like sheep have gone astray; that everyone has turned to their own way; and the Lord has laid upon him the iniquity of us all.

He was taken away by oppression and judgement; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of his people.

All Jesus ever did was have patience, perseverance, and love. Yet his people because they were blinded by Satan with hate for a man that only loved, healed, and was patient with us. He died a horrible death.

Easter isn’t about bunnies, eggs, camping and drinking. It’s about the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us at the cross. But people forget about the sacrifice Jesus made for the selfish world we live in today.

He was our Passover Lamb

Living In A Chaotic World

There’s bad news every day – war, disease, disasters, and death. It’s like there’s something wrong with the world. As long as ng as you look only at the situation in the world today, it will be very hard for you to overcome stress and worries because it’s true there are many problems and the future is unknown to us.

But you have to just your eyes beyond what’s wrong and learn to focus on what’s right. Focusing on trusting God and His goodness. You can’t see the future no matter how hard you try. It may bring more problems or it may not. And worrying about it will not change anything. You will make yourself sick and unhappy. Of course, although we forget. Jesus said, “Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27).

We don’t know the future but God does. And even more importantly, God is in control of the future. Because He loves us He will take care of us. He can be trusted to watch over us.

These two phases should always remain in our hearts as we think about the future and the things with our world. They are “Give thanks” and “Trust God.” First, learn to give thanks to God for the good you have in your life and the ways He blesses you. Even when life gets difficult, we should thank God for all He does for us – none of what we deserve.

My pastor is always saying, “ If you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, eat at least once a day, and have a vehicle to drive. You are rich.” Most people in other countries don’t have that..

If you choose to let God into your heart and become born again. Then you can trust Him to take care of you in the future. The worries of this world dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but God already knows your needs. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added” ( Matthew 6:33)..

The Worst Seven Years Of Humanity’s History

The Rapture And What Happens After

In Luke 24 Jesus, preaches a sermon about the end of the world. The end of the world is easier to comprehend when we can compare it to the world around us. This is what Jesus does. He points to things they knew, and said to amplify that, multiply that – exponentially, then understand what is coming.

I Am Sharing with a message for the church and everyone else. This is by a one Dr. John Barney.

Basically, Jesus describes Global Final Holocaust – not mere of Jews and Christians, but of humans.

Within that message is what amounts to a survival guide for believers who have to exist during the Final Holocaust.

Although the believers He is addressed the tribulation saints, Jewish believers, and those saved through the ministry of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and the two witnesses – the lessons in the days just prior to those events.

Price, word or alcohol for us to be ready for the onset of the worst time in history. It will begin after the church rapture, but the climate of the tribulation is already here. We have to be prepared to survive the storms before the final storm.

January 24th was the 60th Anniversary of the liberation of the grisly death camp complex called Auschwitz.

Hitler’s Holocaust, horrible as it murdered over six million Jews alone – pales when compared to the Final Holocaust. If you watch the news on January 24th you saw images of what we most often use to remind us of the Final Solution- Hitler’s genocide. Briefly, here are the facts:

All groups of people who died included polish. Political prisoners, Soviet, prisoners of war, Gypsies, people with disabilities, and prisoners of conscience of religious faith.

The complex contained three camps and at least 36 sub-counts which were built outside of a town called Oswiecim, on an isolated 40 Square kilometer site, between 1940 and 1942.

If you listened on January 24, there is a credible comparison that can be drawn between Auschwitz and the Great Tribulation.

Most scholars see the first half of the seven year final period on earth’s history to be relatively normal. It is the second half that seems to have incredible destruction, demon armies, and death. So in Bible terms, the Great Tribulation lasts 3 1/2 years or 42 months.

Auschwitz opened its doors to death by the gas chamber on September 3rd, 1941. The advance of the Soviet Army close down the camp on January 27th, 1945. The death camp and the Holocaust was operating 3 1/2 years or 42 months.

About 1.5 million people died at Auschwitz, of whom about 1.2 million were Jewish. That means that 1/5 of the six million Jews were exterminated by Hitler died in this complex. Revelation tells us 1/3 of all the world population will die in the final Holocaust. In 3 1/2 years or 42 months, 2.6 billion people will die.

So the death camp at Auschwitz and the Great Tribulation last almost exactly the same length of time. That is where the comparison stops. The final Holocaust is so terrifying, so deadly, so escapable that God personally steps in to stop it lest not one human left alive.

If you have every wondered why Jesus believers want to tell you about God. This is why, so that you will not have to suffer in this terrifying prophecy.

Knowing God

Knowing God is crucially important for living our lives. The world has become a strange, mad and painful place, and live in it, becomes disappointing for those who do not know about God.

The Beginning Of Understanding

Throughout the Jewish scriptures, we learned that knowing God starts with fear in God. The fear of God is the beginning of understanding, wisdom, and knowledge.

The fact that God indwells ass must now be above us, infinitely exalted above all creation. To think of God as transcendent inspires adoration and worship. Without this idea in our mind and worship is a mirror ritual, and a formality. In days past, men and women who knew what it was to walk in the fear of the Lord had as a basis for their lives, the concept of God as “high and exalted.” However, intimate their relationship with God, they were gripped by the fact that God was high and lifted up. Why is it that in the modern-day Church we do not need anything like this.

Most churches have surrendered there, once lock the concept of God, and have substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping the men at the alter who is teaching them the Holy Bible. This Deliberately little by little, and with out their knowledge, and there awareness people are unaware that their situation is tragic.

Know God – Seeking Him With All Our Heart

Knowing God is all about seeking Him. God tells us in scripture, “you are Sydney and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul, thirst for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water (Psalm 63:1).

As we seek to know, God, we learn that the fear of God is only the beginning of understanding. As we grow in our knowledge of God, we experience the amazing love of God, reflected through His son, Jesus Christ.

Now this is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

John 17:3

Knowing God – It’s All About Love

Understanding Gods incredible love for us is the all important step to truly knowing God! It’s for the love of God that has the power to cast out fear and set us free!

Let those who fear the Lord, say His love endures forever

Psalm 118:4

The lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.

Psalm 147:11

We have all sinned, and deserve God‘s judgment. God, the Father, Sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, “Jesus is Lord, I repent for my sins,”you will be saved from Judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.

How Does God Guide Us? How Can We Know God’s Will For Us?

How can we discern God’s will for our lives? How do we know what God wants us to do? In the past, God, God and His people and all thoughts of different ways but if you want God guidance for your life today, things are much simpler. just follow Jesus (Hebrews 1:1-2). Jesus is the “Good Shepherd” (John 10:11, 14; Hebrews 13;20; 1Peter 2:25; 5:4; Revelation 7:17), and he promises to guide all of us – we simply need to listen to His voice (John 10:27).

Hearing God’s Voice

How do we hear Jesus’s voice? 2000 years ago, Jesus Sheparded his sheep, both by teaching them Himself, and also sending the Apostles authorized to speak on His behalf (Matthew 9 36-39). Jesus then gave His Apostles the Holy Spirit (John 14:25-26; 15:26-27; 16:12-15) so they could complete the inspired, “God breathed” Scriptures. Until the day Jesus returns at the end of time, the Bible remains fully sufficient to throughly equip us for every good work that God has prepared for us to do.

The Bible Is A Lamp To Our Feet

Yes, means that in every circumstance of our lives, the Bible is a “lamp for our feet and a light for our path“ (Psalm 119:105). The Bible gives us clear moral instructions, but also of freedom where we can choose for ourselves. The earliest example of this was in the Garden of Eden, where God commanded Adam, not to eat from one tree which would harm him, also gave Adam freedom to eat any of the other trees when he liked (Genesis 2:16-17). Similarly for us today, God has given us moral commands and principal for our lives, but when there are two or more good options before us, He has given us the right as you children to choose freely between them.

Which Way Is The Best?

Sometimes, we are faced with several good choices, we may wonder whether one option might be better than the others. When we are struggling to discern, which way forward is the best, and most in mind with God‘s will for us, and especially for God himself, Who delights to give wisdom generously to all who ask in faith (James 1:5). And so, as we wait for different options, we can trust the Lord to lead us exactly the way He wants us to go (Proverbs 16:9).

Have you ever built a funny feeling in your stomach when you have to make a decision? Which decision gives you peace? Or which decision makes you feel anxious? This is God’s discernment guiding you to the right decision. Too many people ignore what their stomach is telling them.

Making Big Decisions

This means that when the moment comes to make big decisions, we don’t need to worry about making the wrong choice. But some miss out on God best plan for their lives. By not stopping and asking God for discernment. When necessary, God will guide us both internally and subconsciously (Proverbs 21:1) as promised by the Holy Spirit ( Ezekiel 36:26-27) to will and to act according to His good purpose (Philippians 2:13); and also externally and circumstantially, as He carefully arranges all of nature (Psalm104:10-14), down to the smallest detail, to fulfill His sovereign plan to make us increasingly Christ-like (( if we choose). In fact, God is so committed to guiding his children, that in exceptional cases, He may also even use special or supernatural means like visions of angels to make sure we take the right path (Acts 12:6-11; 16:9).

Jesus Is The Good Shepherd

We are God precious flock (Acts 20:28), and Jesus is the Good Shepherd who calls each sheep by name (John 10:3) we don’t need to know before hand, all the details of the journey our Shepherd is taking us on ( Deuteronomy 29:29; Proverbs 20:24), our job is to simply to trust Him, listen carefully to His voice in the Bible, and follow whereverHe leads us (John 10:27). Although right now, you may find it hard to believe, one day, you will look back in amazement how Jesus guided you through life, weaving a path even through your pain, mistakes and sins, to reach His perfect destination. Until then, Jesus’s command is simple pay attention, hear Him and obey Him as He leads you on your life’s journey.
