Gods Vineyard

I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit. Isaiah 5:1-2

This parable is about the nation of Israel, God gave them everything they needed to have a thriving and prosperous life. He gave them land, food, water, and protection. Yet the Israelites not only didn’t appreciate anything God gave them , they forgot about him all together and worshipped false idols.

Doesn’t this sound familiar in America? We were the strongest and prosperous nation in the world. But we turned our backs on God, we removed him from all our schools and public buildings. We decided not to follow his commandments anymore. History repeats itself, the fate of Israel will be the same fate for America

Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad? Isaiah 5:3-4

God wants to know what more could he have done for Israel? He gave them unlimited water in the dry desert. He  delivered bread (mana) from the sky when they had no food. He crushed every enemy that tried to overtake Israel.

Same with America, what more could God have given to this nation? He gave us prosperity and wealth beyond every nation. He provided us with beautiful farmlands and lakes. He crushed all the other world powers including Germany and Russia when they tried to take over the world. Why did we decide we didn’t need God anymore?

Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.” Isaiah 5:5-6

God is a just God, if we turn our back on him he is going to turn his back on us. Just like he did to Israel he allowed famine through the land, he stopped the rain, he allowed there enemies to overtake Israel and destroy there nation.

The same is happening to America, don’t think 9/11 just happened by mistake. Don’t think the stock market crash seven years ago was a mistake, both of these events happened on the last two Shemitah years. If you don’t know what that is I suggest you read a book by Jonathan Cahn called The Harbinger or The Four Blood Moons by John Hagee

The vineyard of the LORD Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. Isaiah 5:7

It’s very simple, just like Israel, return to God and he will return to us. But turn our back on God and he will make our nation a wasteland. Don’t bite the hand that feeds, follow and trust in The Lord in Jesus Name Amen

Spiritual Wisdom

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:18

The gift of Spiritual Wisdom is one of the 7 gifts giving to us by The Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12) Can we truly know God and understand Jesus without the guidance of the Spirit? I don’t believe so

Without the Holy Spirit The Bible couldn’t have been written for it tells us in (2 Timothy 3:16) All scripture is God breathed. The original Hebrew word for breathe was “ruach” means spirit.

Jesus said anyone who blasphemies against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven (Mark 3:29)  I think it shows you the importance and seriousness of The Holy Spirit

 

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. Ephesians 1:19-21

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave is living inside of us (Romans 8:11) That’s the Holy Spirit living inside of you, the Power of God. I know I use this scripture a lot but I think its important to understand and believe this.

Notice the end of this scripture it tells us Jesus is not only King now but he will be the King forever. The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He’s sitting on the throne right now awaiting the appropriate time to restore Gods Kingdom and rule with a rod of iron

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Ephesians 1:22-23

Jesus is the God Head of The Church, the cornerstone. No man or government has authority to change his Word or ways. As Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever. Any church that changes Gods laws is blasphemy and a false religion.

Don’t get misled by false doctrine, Jesus is the Truth and the only Truth. He taught us in John 14 he would send his “Spirit of Truth” which is the Holy Spirit to guide us. Tell the Holy Spirit you are welcomed here in Jesus Name Amen

I AM A CHRISTIAN

You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:22

The shooting in Oregon is just another reminder of what Jesus told us, the world will hate us because of him. Christians are singled out and executed just because of there faith in Jesus Christ.

Look around the world and Christians are being persecuted everywhere, you have to think why does evil hate Christians? And the answer is obvious because Jesus is the Truth , Life, and The Way and the only Way to eternal life. Satan knows the truth this is why we are targeted.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

Regardless of how much Satan wants to terrorize us, know that God is still on the throne. Satan may be able to kill our physical bodies but he can never have our souls. For our souls belong in Heaven with Jesus.

God is a just God, and he knows every drop of blood shed by Satan and his followers. They will pay the price on Judgement Day as they are thrown  into the eternal lake of fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth but there is no more mercy.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30

God has not left you or forsaken you, he knows every hair on your head. Justice will be served on Judgement day, Satans power on this world is temporary as the world is just a fading flower, that will pass away in time. But Gods kingdom will stand forever and so will we.

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelations 18:24

Every drop of blood that was shed by Gods people is known to God. No crime will go unpunished. Satans days on this Earth is numbered.  Don’t lose heart for Jesus has overcome death and has overcome death.

Be strong and courageous for The Lord is with us and wont forsake us. Satan wants to control us thru fear and terror but know Jesus wins in the end, endure and fight the good fight in Jesus Name Amen

Raising Lazarus

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) John 11:1-2

The story of Lazarus is very inspirational, because Jesus displays how God is truly in control including death. To the world it looked like Lazarus life was over, but Jesus has conquered death and he can for you also.

Notice it was Mary who washed Jesus feet with her own hair and used expensive ointment which she was rebuked by Judas. Her love and faith to Jesus activated this miracle. For if we have the faith the size of a mustard seed we can move mountains.

When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. John 11:4

Jesus already declared he was going to resurrect Lazarus days before he even made it back to Judae. Everyone still though Lazarus was just sick and sleeping, because communication was slow back then. But Jesus already knew Lazarus had passed away but by the Power of God he will raise him again.

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. John 11:17

By the time Jesus and his disciples got to Judea, Lazarus was dead four days already. Mary was obviously upset with Jesus, she thought he left him to die. But she didn’t lose her faith as she still believe in the Power of God

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.John 11:25-27

Martha proved her faith to Jesus by knowing Jesus is the Messiah and she believes he can resurrect Lazarus.  How many of us today have this faith? How many of us truly believe Jesus can heal us even resurrect us if its Gods will?

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. John 11:33-35

Also what makes this one of the most powerful stories in the Bible, Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus. It shows us how much Jesus cares and loves us.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. John 11:41-43

Jesus gave the Glory to God and then commanded Lazarus who was dead for four days to come to life. Notice because they have faith in Jesus he asked God to deliver Lazarus.

Jesus is the resurrection and the way. Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. He will deliver you just like Lazarus in Jesus Name Amen

Ancient of Days

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days(God) did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. Daniel 7:9

The term “Ancient of Days” was used by Daniel to describe God. Why because God is everlasting. The vison he sees is clearly God sitting on the throne as described in Revelations 1:14-15

However I suggest you clearly read Daniel 7:9 and Revelations 1:14 and notice there descriptions are identical further proving the Trinity between God the Father and Son Jesus Christ

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:10

Another seen that is clearly describe in Revelations 5:11, as thousands of Angels surround God on his throne. And the book being opened clearly is the Book of Life (Revelations 20:15)

Daniels vision is clearly of judgement day when we will all stand before our Lord Jesus and account for our lives.

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast (Satan) was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. Daniel 7:11

The beast is Satan, and this event is when Jesus destroys Satan and cast him into Hell. This event is also described in Revelations 19:20

As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. Daniel 7:12

The Kingdom of Satan will be destroyed and all power that Satan and his followers have right now will be gone.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man(Jesus) came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (God), and they brought him near before him. Daniel 7:13

The same even as clearly described in Matthew 24:30, as Jesus is The Son of Man, he is the Messiah and giving all authority by God his Father.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14

Jesus is King of King and Lord of Lords (Revelations 19:16) he will rule all nations, governments will rest on his shoulders (Isaiah 9:6) He will rule with a rod of iron (Revelations 2:27) and Gods kingdom will rule forever(Hebrews 1:8) in Jesus Name Amen

Walking In The Spirit

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18

Becoming a Christian is not a free pass to sin, its not a get out of hell for free card. It’s a transformation from being the old man you once was to the new creature that you are today.

This transformation is not possible without the Holy Spirit, until you receive Jesus in your heart and not just in your mind, you will always live for the flesh

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21

Jesus told us how to identify false prophets and religions by the fruit they bear. Everyone bears fruit whether you believe in God or not, and its easy to distinguish between bad and good.

Pay attention to the last line of this scripture, anyone who continues to Walk in the Flesh will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  Galatians 5:22-24

When someone is truly filled with the Holy Spirit there fruit they bear is easy to see. How many Christians display these fruits? If your Church is lacking these qualities, theres a good indication God is not really at your Church.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another Galatians 5:25-26

If your going to talk the talk then walk the walk, don’t say you follow Jesus and then walk with Satan. We live in the Spirit and we walk in The Spirit.

It’s only by the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ that made this all possible, you can be redeemed, you can be transformed, just give your life to Christ and Walk in The Spirit in Jesus Name Amen

Lions Den

Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Daniel 6:5

Daniel was a faithful follower of God, and the Pagan society knew this so they wanted to get rid of him for it.

So they made a law to ban praying to God for thirty days, they knew Daniel wouldn’t follow this law because he was faithful to God and not man.

Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Daniel 6:11

Daniel prayed to God three times a day his entire life, his enemy knew when he prayed and watched him so they could convict him our there pagan laws.

Just like today it was Politically Incorrect to pray to God, but Daniel didn’t worry about offending man and trusted God to deliver him

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.Daniel 6:16

The King knew that Daniel would be delivered from the Lion’s Den, because they remember when God delivered the 3 wise men from the Fiery Furnace.

How much faith do you have in God? Would you continue to be obedient to God even if it meant your life? Or do you bow down to our Pagan Society out of fear and persecution?

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Daniel 6:22

After a day the King checked out Daniel and found him unharmed. Daniel declared he was delivered by God because he is righteous before God and The King

When God delivers you do you declare his Glory before others? Would you be found innocent before God?

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. Daniel 6:26-27

The Pagan King was so impressed with the power and glory of God made a law that his Pagen Kingdom would fear and honor God. Because he knew that our God is the one true living God and ruler of the Heavens and The Earth.

Our Faith is being challenged today, just like in Daniels time, its politically incorrect to pray and talk about God. Just like Daniel, trust in the Lord, stay faithful and he will deliver you. And then your enemies will to declare God is the one true living God and his kingdom will not be destroyed in Jesus Name Amen

Parable of The Laborers in the Vineyard

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. Matthew 20:1

Jesus is looking for disciples, the problem is he’s looking for disciples who are willing to deny themselves, carry there cross, and follow him. Today Christianity is anything but that, everyone wants to glorify themselves in the name of God. This is false religion and not true gospel of Christ.

So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. Matthew 20:8

The day will come when we will be rewarded by our Master, Jesus Christ, for our works. Remember Faith without works is dead. As it tells us in the Bible “Those who don’t work, don’t eat”(2 Thessalonians 3:10)

Heaven isn’t a welfare system, if you refuse to work for God then why should you inherit his Kingdom? Everyone has been born with and blessed with specific talents and skills, use them to Glorify God.

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. Matthew 20:10

We all have received blessings from God, if your alive then your blessed. Problem is we compare our blessings to each other’s. Stop wanting what you don’t have, remember being a disciple is about discipline and sacrifice. God will reward you in due time if its his will.

Learn to be thankful and appreciate the gifts God has already giving you. As Paul said “I learned to be content in all circumstances” When you understand this, you receive the peace knowing whatever Gods will is , it is good enough for you”Because God knows you and cares for you!

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:15-16

Why shall the last be first and the first be last? Because Jesus told us to deny ourselves, carry our cross, and follow him. It’s not about us and our agendas, it’s about serving others and preparing for Gods Kingdom

This is why many are called but few are chosen, many want to follow Jesus but don’t want to do the work, the discipline, and obedience it takes. Are you ready to answer Gods calling in Jesus Name Amen

Crucified with Christ

“You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? Galatians 2:14

I find this a very interesting scripture, basically we could say we are a Christian but we live like a sinner, how is it? Obviously it can’t be. You either gave your life to Christ or you didn’t, God sees all, there is no hypocritical path

“We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:15-16

We are nothing without Jesus, until people realize this they won’t worship our Lord properly. We are all sinners and can only be redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, the perfect atoning sacrifice.

“But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! Galatians 2:17

Just because Jesus forgives sin doesn’t mean he promotes sin. For Jesus to promote sin then his sacrifice on the cross would have been pointless. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, the Law of God is in your heart.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave is living inside of us. We have become transformed by Jesus, our old selves died on that cross. We no longer live for the pleasures of this world but live to please God

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Galatians 2:21
The Grace of Jesus is the greatest gift we could ever receive. Because of his Grace we are worthy to stand before God and enter his kingdom. Without Grace we are not worthy and could never become transformed on our own

We were Crucified with Christ and we Resurrected with Christ. Praise God every day for the Grace of our Lord in Jesus Name Amen

There Will Be A Day

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelations 21:4

The promise that Jesus delivered us that we hold on to, during hard times and suffering we know there will be a day when death and pain are no more. The corrupted world has passed away and God has restored paradise once again.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Revelations 21:5

Jesus is our King and he is sitting on the throne right now. All nations and governments rest on his shoulders, he will rule with a rod of iron. Gods Kingdom will once again be restored thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ who lowered himself below the angels to redeem us for our sins

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Revelations 21:6

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word is Jesus Christ, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus was here before Creation and he will be here to restore Creation. He makes a things new, get ready paradise is coming back.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelations 21:7-8

Accept Jesus are your Lord and Savior and live forever in Gods Kingdom, no more death, no more pain, no more evil. But those who deny or oppose Jesus have no future.

Jesus is the Truth , Life , and The Way nobody comes to God except thru him. Give your life to him today and inherit eternal life in Gods Kingdom in Jesus Name Amen
