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

A big, untold story: Since last Yom Kippur, millions of Jews have begun searching for the Messiah, and for atonement for their sins. The media isn’t reporting this. But it’s worth examining.

Over the past year since the last Day of Atonement, millions of Jews around the world have begun a quest to find the Messiah. Over the past year since the last Day of Atonement, millions of Jews around the world have begun a quest to find the Messiah.

At sundown, we begin Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This is the highest holy day on the Jewish calendar, and one of great Biblical and historic and cultural importance to my people.

I so wish I was home with Lynn and our sons in Israel tonight. Instead, I am in the U.S. speaking at a number of events, from Dallas to San Luis Obispo to Washington, D.C. to Toronto. I am speaking about the darkness that is falling in our world. But I am also explaining to people about a fascinating phenomenon that I’m observing.

Since last Yom Kippur, millions of Jews have begun a quest to find the Messiah. For reasons I cannot fully explain, Jews are suddenly searching for answers to the deepest and most important questions concerning…

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

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

Fiery Furnace

 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Daniel 3:-6

King Nebuchadnezzar created a golden statue and he demanded everyone to bow down and worship this statue daily. Anyone who refused to worship would be burned alive in a Fiery Furnace.

There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Daniel 3:12

The three Jewish wise men(Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) refused to bow down to the statue because they worshipped the only true God our Heavenly Father. Who has commanded us to not worship any other God or false idols.

But if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Daniel 3:15

The King challenged God then and said if he is truly God then he will deliver you from the Fiery Furnace. Not only were these men bound with rope, King Nebuchadnezzar ordered the furnace made seven times hotter than usual, so hot it burned his own men alive who delivered the Jewish wise men to the Fiery Furnace

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. Daniel 3:17

But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego trusted in God, they will knew God would deliver them from the Fiery Furnace. How many of us have strong enough faith willing to put our lives in Gods hands?

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Daniel 3:25

This event is pretty amazing on many different levels, not only because the 3 wise men were not hurt at all, its says not even one strand of hair on there heads was burnt. But we see the appearance of the Son of God, who we know is only Jesus Christ.

This is not the only appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament, just shows you Jesus is the same today, yesterday, and forever.

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Daniel 3:28

The Pagan King, confirmed with his own eyes that our Heavenly Father is the only true God and Jesus delivered them from the Fiery Furnace. How strong is your faith today? God is with you even in the Fiery Furnace in Jesus name Amen
