For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our king; He will save us—Isaiah 33:22

In a world, full of turmoil and chaos, its good to remember that Jesus is King of Kings and he already has saved us. This is a message the prophet Isaiah was delivering to the Jewish people, even though Israel was in a state of destruction, God will always save them.

God sent his only begotten Son and anointed him King of Kings, with all power and glory sitting at the right hand of God. No matter how dark or hopeless the world or your situation may feel right now, God will save us!

All judgement has been given to the authority of Jesus (John 5:22) its only through him that we may be redeemed and worthy to stand before the Father in Heaven. Jesus is the Living Word (John 1:14) and through the word is the Law of God. If you love him, you will obey his commandments (John 14:15)

Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16) and every knee will bow before him (Philippians 2:10) And on that cross he saved us from the sins of the world! Jesus didn’t just come to save the Jews but to save the entire world. Put your trust in him, He will save us in Jesus Name Amen!

Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field is considered as a forest. Isaiah 32:15

This week is celebration of the “Day of Pentecost” in which God poured out his Holy Spirit upon all the people. Many of us often reference the scripture from Joel about the Prophecy of this event. But was also prophesied by Isaiah. The promise of the Holy Spirit which Jesus taught us would come.

So what is the “Day of Pentecost” its actually the “Festival of Weeks” in which the Jews celebrated from Deuteronomy, the given of Thanks for everything God has given us. During this time its celebrated Moses given the Ten Commandments from Mt Sinai. Interestingly the festival was renamed from Shavuot to Pentcost due to the Greek influence on the Jews at that time. “Pentecost” means 50 , referencing the 50 weeks after Passover in which the holiday is celebrated. This shows you how much Greek influence there was on the Jews during this time.

So just as God delivered the Torah or Ten Commandments to the Jews, he also delivered the Holy Spirit to us, who is our teacher and comforter. The wilderness becomes a fertile field, meaning once Baptized by The Holy Spirit , you become reborn. Just like the Dry Bones, the dead come back to life with the Rauch (Breathe, Spirit) of God in Jesus Name Amen

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. Isaiah 28:16

Since the beginning of time , God has laid down a redemption plan for humanity. The chief cornerstone that is Jesus Christ. He is our rock, our foundation for the salvation of our souls. God revealed this prophecy to the Jewish people , many didn’t understand Gods plan back then and many still don’t understand Gods plan today.  All our hope and victory stands on the foundation, “Chief Cornerstone” Jesus Christ.

Comparing the different translations, its says a tested stone (NASB) precious and costly (NIV) tried (KJV) firm (NLT) God is telling us we can rely and trust in Jesus. He has been battle tested and victorious over sin and death. He who believes will not be disturbed (NASB) not stricken with panic (NIV) Never be shaken (NLT) You can have the Peace of God when you stand on the “Cornerstone” , “The Rock”, the foundation of God

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES ‘? Matthew 21:42

Jesus revealed this prophecy, he is the Chief Cornerstone, he is our Rock, and our Redeemer. Have you rejected Jesus just as the others have? Or will you stand on his Word, Hope, and Victory. Don’t build your life anywhere else but The Rock, when the storms of life come in, those who built on the Cornerstone wont be shaken or disturbed in Jesus Name Amen

In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea. Isaiah 27:1

When will our pain and misery ever end? One message that God makes clear throughout The Bible is Satan will be defeated! This event is not only prophesied here by Isaiah, but is displayed in Revelation, Daniel, and Psalms. So why is God waiting so long to destroy Satan? Why would he allow him to cause so much destruction?

“How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. (Isaiah 14:12-13)

The first thing we need to realize is we all have the gift of “Free Will”. God is not a dictator and wont force anyone to worship him, including “Lucifier” (Satan) who was an arc angel in Heaven and decided to make himself like God. Therefor God has allowed us all to make a choice whether to worship God or Satan.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

The next thing to remember is Jesus hasn’t returned yet because God wants us all to be saved. Since we all have “Free Will” we must be given the choice whether to accept Christ or follow Satan. Throughout generations everyone has been trying to predict the return of Christ. That day is only known by the Creator , our Heavenly Father

So who is Leviathan? Leviathan in Hebrew also meaning “Serpent” and later in Judaism referenced at a “Dragon”. Leviathan is symbolic of a great beat with massive power, this is symbolic of oppressing governments and militaries under Satans control. The message is no matter how powerful a Satanic force is here on Earth, God has the ultimate victory.

If we look at the oppressing militaries and governments that have attacked Gods people throughout history, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, they are all history. God always has the ultimate victory in Jesus Name Amen!

“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

What does Memorial Day mean to you? Most of us in America will have off work or school because of Memorial Day, but besides having picnics and opening the swimming pool, do you stop to think why we are celebrating this day? It’s easy to take freedom and liberty for granted, but throughout the generations there has been brave men and woman who have paid the price for all of us.

Regardless of what your political or religious beliefs are in America, you are reaping the benefits of these brave soldiers sacrifice. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t even be writing this blog, as I would probably be persecuted for my Christian beliefs like most countries around the world. Most of us in America take for granted our rights and freedom. Remember freedom always comes with a price.

Jesus also paid the price for us, and because of his sacrifice we are set free. Set free from sin and death. We also need to remember to reflect on what Christ has done for us and where we would be without him. Just as Jesus said there is no greater love to lay down his life, he showed that love for all of us on the cross

So this Memorial Day, reflect on the soldiers who paid the debt for your freedom, reflect on your Lord and Savior who saved your soul. Remember to Thank every soldier you see, for even if they did survive, they still paid a price for you. God bless America and all our soldiers past and present in Jesus Name Amen
