Miriam/Mary—a young Jewish woman who was betrothed to Yussef/Joseph, technically married but had not yet consummated the marriage at this point, had every right to ask the angel Gabriel HOW this was to be done to her (Lk 1:34). After all, Mary KNEW what would be done to those women who had children out of wedlock…
BUT putting that fear aside, and TRUSTING in the MOST HIGH GOD El Elyon, who SHE ALREADY RECOGNIZED AS HER SAVIOR, Mary said, “YES” to her CALLING. “Let it be done to me ACCORDING TO THY WILL.”
Can WE act out in the same strength of FAITH and TRUST in God in whatever the Lord has called us to do in this life, that mother Mary that day showed(and later on, Joseph as well to go ahead and trust the Lord in all of this!)?
Can we that proclaim Christ as our Savior and Lord, put our very LIVES on the line, even if it meant certain DEATH?
Mary did. So did Joseph.
Let’s be like MARY, and say, “YES” when the LORD asks us in the VERY near future, to do very hard things—much harder than this world has ever seen.
🙏🏼❤️May we endure to the end as Mary and Joseph did, and who received the honor due them down the millennia of being CHOSEN as the parents of the Most High God’s Son—the Savior of the World, Who WILL RETURN…SOON.✡️📖✝️🕊️
Please use the link to go check out my latest video regarding the term, “Word of the LORD” that I was led (once again!) to share with you all by the Holy Spirit.
The reason why an additional two videos (this one is Part One) are being made is because the Lord wants everyone to realize just how important it is to take Him at HIS WORD. Even if we do not understand everything that has been written between the OT and NT, nevertheless, there is enough for us TO understand and grow from, and in TIME, with the help of the Holy Spirit, He can teach and guide us into more truth of His Word (Jn. 16:13). But it is US who have to change our way of thinking and/or believing, NOT the LORD God Himself. He does NOT do the changing. If we are NOT believing in or ACCEPTING what the Word of God says, then it is US who will be held accountable and found GUILTY for not taking Him at His Word.
So before I move onto all the other topics that I will cover on my YT channel (and even write about here), the Holy Spirit wanted me to go over several more verses dealing with that specific term. I pray that you will take the time out to go and watch these videos, and also do some study on this yourselves. The more we spend time in God’s holy Word, the more we WILL see the connections He makes between both the OT and NT that SHOW us it IS Him Who is DOING the work, not just speaking it through His Servants. And, it will also help us to go deeper and tackle some of the topics I will be bringing up, like about the spiritual realm, both the angelic and demonic, also about the Divine Council (I share just a bit about that in this video), WHOSE land it really belongs to–WHO did the LORD GOD say in His Word, that HE gave it to?? That’s ANOTHER little example I go through as well, when it comes to learning to take God at His Word, and BELIEVING and ACCEPTING it!
I thank you in advance for watching these videos. Please like, subscribe, and share! God bless!
Here is the second part of the Scripture verses that I was sharing, relating to taking God at His Word.
Please take time out to watch it, and I hope you will subscribe to my channel if you have not already. Please also “like” and share the video if you feel led to.
Thank you so much in advance for watching, and joining me on my journey as I walk in the dark with FAITH!
Here is the second video from my YT channel, discussing more Scripture verses that deal with how serious it is for us to learn to take God at His Word.
Please watch, like, subscribe and share!
There will be many more videos coming up that will help the viewer understand what God is saying in His Word, because they have learned to take it more seriously than in the past.
Believe me, you’ll need to trust Him and His Word now more than ever, in order to get through all of what is going on in this world today!
God’s📖 Word is to be taken SERIOUSLY. From Genesis to Revelation, and every thing in between, the Lord had chosen certain people at certain times in HIStory, to speak of, WRITE DOWN and RECORD His message to His “human imagers”, as the late Dr. Michael Heiser called us (ref. Gen. 1:26-17).
The more we learn to TRUST and OBEY God by reading, studying, praying out, and sharing His Word in our lives, the MORE He will help us understand those passages that are not so easily understood for one reason or another. What seems a “mystery” to many, CAN be understood when one is allowing the LORD to teach and guide them IN His Word.
🙏🏻The ONE MAIN THING that I want you all to “get” is THIS–that the Lord Jesus IS THE LITERAL LIVING 📖WORD of GOD.
✨And if you believe that JESUS IS the WORD OF GOD made flesh, and EMMANUEL-God with us (Jn. 1:1,14; Isaiah 7:14), and Who Paul the Apostle calls “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15), Who WAS THERE in the BEGINNING -BERESHITH (Genesis 1:1; Col. 1:16)–
THEN–you MUST LEARN to TAKE ✨GOD ✨AT HIS 📖WORD!
The HOLY SPIRIT can LEAD and GUIDE you (Jn. 16:13; 14:16-17, 26; 15:26) into ALL the TRUTH of His Word. Just learn to TRUST the LORD (Prov. 3:5-6) with ALL your HEART, and acknowledge Him in ALL your ways–INCLUDING getting to know Him better BY READING and LIVING OUT His 📖WORD.
The MORE you do that, the BETTER your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ will be. AND–with the entire Triune Godhead–the ✡️Father, the ✝️SON, and the Holy 🕊️Spirit.
😊💗May you be blessed as you learn to keep WALKING in the Dark with FAITH, using the LIGHT of CHRIST to LIGHT the WAY!!✡️📖✝️🕊️
THEY ARE DEMONS—NOT GHOSTS! I personally can attest to that!!
I remember one particular night as if it happened last night. It was three weeks after my Nana died (Feb, 1975). I was getting ready to go to bed, brushing my hair, looking into the mirror as usual. Behind me, and to my right, there 😳suddenly was a ghostly figure of an old woman, 🫢and she was motioning with her finger for me to 😱come to her. I just turned 10 years old at the time, and also by this time, I already saw the Lord Jesus at around six years of age, and my angels (I was assigned two of them, one on either side of me-mainly due to when I started to deal with my calling of spiritual warfare as I got older) a few times.
But this – this ghostly figure I could tell it was🙁 not friendly, and I was getting really bad 🫣vibes from it. Suddenly, I heard what I know now to be the voice of the Holy 🕊️Spirit, telling me to get into my bed. I literally jumped from where I was into the bed, and pulled my covers over my head.
A couple of minutes later, I looked, and that old 🫢woman was still standing there! At that point, I 😫screamed, and my mother came flying up the stairs, flipping on the light, asking me what was wrong. I told her what I saw, and as usual, because 🙄she never believed me any other time😒, she tried to dismiss it and told me to go to sleep.
Now, it wasn’t hard to figure out who that the spirit was pretending to be my grandmother – I knew deep down it wasn’t her. I felt more of an 😈ominous, evil surrounding with this spirit, that I’ve never felt before.
Some of you may ask why the Lord would allow me to go through such things at a young age; He was already preparing me for what He called me to do—to deal with the spiritual warfare and the evil spirits that plague humanity. Besides that calling, as you know, I am a Servant of His, working in the office of a prophet, informing and warning people what is written that is to come.
I’ll add this here as well – as a child, I never cared for Halloween. Sure, I love getting dressed up, and it was fun receiving candy from the neighbors, and being able to walk around with my friends. But I really didn’t like it from the day my mother would start to put up the Halloween decorations – they always creeped me out. And it was only a matter of time when I found out what the reality of the evil behind Halloween -Samhain-was all about. 
I hope by sharing this little tidbit of my life with you all, that you understand a little better why I am so opposed to Halloween, and anything to do with the occult and dark arts. The entire spiritual realm which the demonic realm, as well as the angelic realm is a part of, is very real. Ask any exorcist, ex-Satanist, or ex-witch or warlock. Or anyone else that has gotten out of such other demonic practices, such as voodoo, Santeria, etc. If they are honest with you, they will tell you just how real those evil spirits are, especially when they manifest themselves right in front of you.
God‘s 📖Word is 100% true – ALL of it. He didn’t allow the writers of the different books between the Old and New Testaments, to write things just to scare us in order to make us believe and obey. Everything that is written in the Scriptures, is there to help us combat the evil forces that are very much apart of our every day lives. And that it is true, whether we want to believe it or not.
And for those of you who continue to insist that there is no God, there is no spiritual world, that all of this is hogwash and just things that we make up in our minds, etc. – I truly feel so bad for you. Because the Day WILL come when you as that individual, have to stand up in front of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the White Throne Judgment seat. You will see then, just how real everything that was written in the Bible, is.
I haven’t mentioned this here for a while, so I will say it again—
Believe it or not, EVERYONE does go to Heaven. When you sit and think about that statement, it all makes sense. The Lord Jesus Christ will be judging every single person that has ever lived. He is not going to do it on a cloud somewhere; He is not going to do it on the earth; He’s not going to do it in some other realm; He is going to do it in His Courtroom, where His Throne sits, in the Third Heaven (2Cor. 12:2-4) for all to see how real His 📖Word really is. The beauty, the awe, the majesty, all the creatures that are mentioned in the Bible, all the Saints, the elders with their crowns, the Divine Council, the myriad of angelic beings that are there, etc.
EVERY single person who ever lived, will see all of this. ONCE they are judged by the Lord Jesus Christ, His sentence on their life will determine whether they continue to see that ✨beauty 🌈and majesty ✨for all of eternity, or—
The Lord Jesus Christ will have that individual depart from Him, be taken by the angels to be cast in to the Lake of 🔥fire 🔥for all of 🔥eternity.
But once again – everyone who has ever lived, WILL see Heaven. They will go to Heaven and experience it. Those of you who think that’s impossible because the Lord God would not allow sin to enter into heaven – obviously has not read the Bible, where the evil ones themselves like the HaSatan mentioned in Job, going to and fro from the Earth back to heaven; that is why in Revelation 21 there is a mention of a NEW heaven and a NEW earth. One a person actually reads and studies the Bible, according to the way, it was supposed to be read – what the authors of each book was trying to convey to their readers – that individual can and will understand via the Holy Spirit, what the word of God is saying. But the person has to take the time out and really seek the Lord God out in order to know the TRUTH.
Whether they stay there or not, depends on the CHOICES they have made concerning the Lord ✡️God, His 📖Word, and whether or not they accepted the Lord ✝️Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord into their lives.
These disgusting, vile evil 👿ones have but ONE job – to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10) ANY human beings as possible, BEFORE the Time of the ⚖️Judgement.
They will deceive you 💥any which 💥way they can. They know you better than you know yourself. They know what “buttons” to push, they know what to put in 🫣front of you (😈Eyegates;😈EARgates) in order for you to get locked on and pulled in.
AS His Servant who is commissioned to INFORM and WARN as my brothers and sisters before me have done, I am not at liberty to tell you the entire reason why the Lord has allowed a certain “few” of these fallen angels and their offspring – the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, otherwise known as the demons— to remain here on earth until the time of His ⚡️☄️💥🔥Wrath and ⚖️JUDGMENT(nor do I know all of those reasons); most of it you would not even want to believe; but I can tell you this much:
✨❤️We humans who were created out of PURE ✨❤️LOVE by Adonai Elohim Tseva’ot 📖(Gen. 1:26-27) have been caught up in the middle of a ✨spiritual 🛡️⚔️war 🗡️that began several millennia ago.
The ones who were (and still are) mainly involved, were the LORD God Most High and his FIRST set of creative beings, which were the ANGELS (also called “sons of God” and “morning stars” (Gen. 6:1-4; Job 38:7), who not only watched Him create everything and rejoiced over it, but were ALSO to be the “ministers of righteousness (2Cor. 11:15)” and “ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation “( Heb. 1:14).
THOSE SONS OF THE MOST HIGH WHO REBELLED, ARE (some of) THE ONES WHO already have been CHAINED UP in darkness UNTIL ⚖️the JUDGEMENT (2Pet. 2:4; Jude 1:6), and again, SOME by the LORD’S wisdom and HIS purposes, have REMAINED HERE 🌎on EARTH, for our TESTING, to see just WHO HUMANITY would ✨CHOOSE ✨and follow after—
1). Either The MOST HIGH ✡️GOD-El Elyon, El Gibbor, HIS ✝️SON, the Lord Jesus Christ -Yeshua HaMashiach-Who would be their LORD, ✝️SAVIOR, MASTER, and 👑KING, and His ETERNAL 📖WORD, having the Ruach 🕊️HaKodesh DWELL✨ WITHIN ✨them, as adopted sons of the Most High (Jn. 1:12; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 3:26; Eph. 1:5;), giving them power, strength, wisdom, discernment and authority over ALL the evil (Lk. 10:19; Eph. 6:10-18); as it is written 📖, “FOR as many as are LEAD by the 🕊️SPIRIT 🕊️OF ✡️GOD✝️, they are the SONS of God”(Rom. 8:14).
Once we truly and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become ✡️the LORD God’s sons and daughters, and ✨live ✨daily by His 📖Word, being protected by the BLOOD 🩸 of the Lord ✝️Jesus, and having the Holy 🕊️Spirit dwell within us, the devil and his angels can try to still tempt us, but they can NEVER AGAIN steal, kill, or destroy our eternal souls!🙏❤️📖🕊️
OR—-
2). Those sons of God who rebelled, and turned themselves into ALL (and I do mean ALL!!) of the different gods of this 🌎world —to ENTICE those humans to fall and worship THEM,
Just like they tried to do to THE ✝️Son of God when even HE HIMSELF was tempted in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11);
🙏The LORD God the Father, hoping that those humans would follow in the footsteps of His Son, telling those evil ones, “Away from me, Satan! For it is 📖written, Worship the LORD your God and SERVE HIM ONLY”(Matt. 4:10).
📋The main rules of this ONGOING SPIRITUAL 🛡️⚔️WAR which humans should basically be made aware of, ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1). If one is enticed by the evil, any way that the evil ones can trap them, and can convince them to STAY that way, no matter how much or little they agree to do of the evil—even if it’s just “dabbling” in it, and/or celebrating certain pagan festivals such as Samhain/Halloween, WITHOUT REPENTING for it before the end of their days on Earth—
the recompense of God will be that they lose their eternal soul at the end of their lives for CHOOSING TO REMAIN SINFUL AND NOT REPENTING of their sins, and at the ⚖️Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), they will be placed into the same 🔥eternal 🔥fires that the ✡️MOST ✝️HIGH 🕊️GOD has prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41).
2). IF the person truly DOES WANT OUT OF THAT LIFESTYLE, no matter how much or how little they got themselves involved,
AND —that individual 😭🙏REPENTS for ALL that they said or did while engaging in those pagan and demonic practices that are clearly written in📖God’s Word to be an abomination to Him (Deut. 12:2-4, 29-32; 18:9-12; 22:5; Ex20:2-5; 1Ki. 11:10; Lev. 18:24-30; Rom. 1; 1 Cor.; Eph. 4:17-19; 1Pet. 4:3)
IF they REPENT and RECANT their allegiance to the satan and all other gods they have followed and/r paid homage to by celebrating such pagan and godless practices;
AND that individual CALLS UPON THE NE OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED (Joel 2:32;Rom. 10:9-10, 13), and DECLARES the Lord Jesus Christ to be their SAVIOR AND LORD of their lives, forsaking ALL OTHER GODS—
THEN, and ONLY then, will the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT, Who is the THIRD PERSON of the ✡️Triune 📖✝️Godhead🕊️, come INTO THEM and DWELL with them (Jn. 3:3,5,7; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19), to lead and guide that individual, and make them into a “holy temple” , conforming them “into the image of His Son” (Roman. 8:29), so that they WILL BE ABLE TO enter into the Celestial Kingdom of the MOST HIGH GOD and HIS SON, at the Time of the End of Days(Rev.20-22).
That person will THEN hear those words, “Well done” (Matt. 25:21,23; Lk. 19:17), instead of hearing those 😖awful words NO human 😭ever wants to hear—
“DEPART FROM ME, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
BUT—and this is a MUST!!!—-
💥The ✨CHOICE ✨MUST ✨BE UP TO THE HUMANS THEMSELVES. 💥
NO EVIL SPIRIT, FALLEN ANGEL, or DEMON can FORCE THEM to STAY;
NEITHER CAN THE LORD GOD HIMSELF FORCE ANYONE TO LOVE HIM AND HIS SON.
💥The individual MUST come WILLINGLY to EITHER SIDE—💥
And at the ✨End of 📖Days✨, the individual’s CHOICES 💥WILL DETERMINE💥 where they end up, as it is 📖written,
“BY YOUR WORDS you willl be JUSTIFIED, and BY YOUR WORDS you will be CONDEMNED” (Matt.12:37).
The LORD GOD MOST HIGH does NOT “put” anyone into those 🔥eternal 🔥fires;
THE HUMAN BEING CHOOSES TO GO TO 🌈EITHER ✨❤️ETERNAL ✨✝️DESTINATION 🔥THEMSELVES🔥—BY THE CHOICES THEY MAKE IN THIS LIFE.
🙏Once again, beloved—I BEG YOU, please, CHOOSE WISELY ✝️who 👿you SERVE in THIS life here 🌎on Earth, for it WILL determine WHERE you spend your ✝️✨🌈ETERNAL ☄️💥🔥LIFE.
Being a warrior for the Most High God is not what I set out to do; I would never have chosen these appointments for myself, knowing how dangerous they are.
But because the LORD did the choosing for me, I deal with it, accepting these assignments BECAUSE HE HAS MADE AND EQUIPPED ME TO DEAL with such positions.
I could not ever do by myself in my own flesh and strength, what I was called by the LORD God to do—that is, inform and warn others in the office of a prophet like my brothers Jeremiah, Elijah, Ezekiel, Joel, etc.,
AND also handle the onslaught of spiritual warfare, using His 📖Word, 🛡️⚔️Power, and ✝️Authority to help those who SEEK THE LORD’S HELP to fight against the seemingly overwhelming amount of evil forces that plague the precious human beings on this Earth.
I am willing to HELP THOSE who are truly seeking HONEST answers to their problems. You may not think the problem has a spiritual connection, but most of the time-there IS at least ONE DEMONIC DOORWAY open in a person’s life that is keeping them from receiving the peace of God through Jesus Christ.
As busy as I am with my PhD courses, I still want to avail myself to at least educating people in what I have learned, and am still learning, about the who-what-where-how-and why a person could get influenced, infested, vexed, obsessed, oppressed, and ultimately, possessed-by one or more evil spirits.
I checked online in the last several days to see how much help there is out there, if a person truly was looking for good biblically-based counseling, especially when it comes to the issues above, and even such things as possible hauntings in their homes. I did not find any reputable Christian groups or organizations, save one of them that I’ve known of for almost a decade now, or even one person, except for the few exorcists I know of from Facebook and YouTube and Instagram. One of those exorcists at least has an online deliverance session. But that’s it.
The rest are mixed groups made up of all different types of faiths and various services, and use many ways of trying to combat the malevolent entities-some of which are not advisable or recommended, because they utilize pagan rituals and practices that are against God’s Word.
Here is my information if you would like to reach out to me for assistance, or at least to be pointed in the right direction for help in deliverance or if needed, exorcisms.
I put up a video post from the late Derek Prince-12 minutes long-that you can watch and learn a LOT from on my FB page. ✨I highly suggest ✨you pay attention to what he is saying in that short video.
There is a right way and a wrong way of handling these evil spirits. If a person chooses to (continue to) handle it in ways that are contrary to what God states in His Word, or what has been known to work for the Christian deliverance workers and exorcists, whether they are trying to do it on their own (which can be very dangerous if you really know not what you’re doing), or trusting in people who tend to utilize certain practices that ultimately may bring in more malevolent spirits, and make everything that much worse, the end result could be even more detrimental to the individual or family members (especially when it involves a place of residence) or worse, yet, fatal. 
It may just save a person’s physical life, as well as vastly improve their mental and emotional wellbeing, and ultimately their spiritual life with the Lord God, by taking the time to educate one’s self. Reach out to those such as myself and others, who go through the correct channels, and who are close to the Lord God Almighty, Who is the Most High God, and His Son-the Lord Jesus Christ-being His true servants, and who have been chosen and called into such positions, in order to help those who desperately need that spiritual cleansing, whether it is in a residential setting, or in their personal lives.
I pray that whoever reads this and needs help in any of these areas that I mentioned, makes the right decision and contact me to get the assistance they need. May the Lord strengthen you to do what is right for yourself and/or your family.🙏✡️❤️✝️🛡️⚔️📖✨
While the woke part of the world may be celebrating the demonic “Transgender Visibility Day”(of course, of ALL DAYS-the evil elite choose TODAY to do that-no 😡coincidence!),
WE who are Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord JESUS CHRIST-the SAVIOR of the world, and Who has defeated DEATH and HELL(Rev. 20:13-14)!🙌✝️🕊️
He made a way for us back to the ✡️Father-giving ALL of us another opportunity at Eternal Life. 🙏✨🌈
All a person has to do, is:
CALL upone the Name of the LORD to be saved (Joel 2:32; Ps. 124:8; Zeph. 3:9; Rom. 10:13)
REPENT of their sins ( Is. 44:22; 59:2; Matt. 3:2; Acts 2:38; 3:19; Rom. 3:10, 23),
humbly ASK for forgiveness (Mk. 11:25; Luke 17:3-4; 23:34; Ps. 51:10; Col. 3:13),
ACKNOWLEDGE the Lord Jesus as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives (Rom. 6:23; 10:9-10; Jn. 3:16; Acts 16:31, Jn. 14:6)
WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to being His child (Jn. 1:12) and invite the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN you to lead, guide, teach, correct, strengthen, and comfort you (Ezekiel 36:26-27; Jn. 3:3,5,7; Acts 1:8; 2:38; Jn. 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 1:13-14; Titus 3:5; Rom. 5:5; 8:16, 26-27; Gal. 4:6; Mk. 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35; Rev. 2:7; 3:6, 13:9)—so make SURE you HEAR HIS VOICE speaking to you!!
🙏✡️📖✝️🕊️ONE BODY, ONE SPIRIT, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM= ONE GOD and FATHER OF ALL!!! (Eph. 4:4-6)🙌✨🌈
NOW more than ever, a true believer of the MOST HIGH GOD will be tested, because these days are evil (Eph. 5:16), and increasing in evil. (Ps. 14:1; Micah 7:2; Is. 5:20; Ps. 12:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-2; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).
STAND as a true servant and warrior of God (Eph. 6:10-18) WITH THE LORD JESUS, and He WILL rescue and 🙏deliver us from all the evil (Ps. 71:4; 140:1; Jer. 15:21; Matt. 6:13; Gal. 1:4; 2 Thess. 3:2; and the last one I will write out—(2Tim. 4:18): “The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to HIM be the glory FOREVER and EVER—Amen.”
Sometimes I feel like the Apostle Paul, with how long these posts are getting–like I am writing a letter, begging the people to listen and consider to have the Lord in their lives, as he did to the Corinthians, Ephesians, Galatians, etc.
I apologize that it is so long, but when the Holy Spirit SPEAKS through me, I cannot limit Him to a certain amount of words. I let Him speak, because I too, realize more and more, how SHORT our Time here on Earth is, and where the increasing evil is taking us to–the time of the Anti-Christ, and the horrible times that the Word of God speaks about in Daniel, the Gospels, Joel, and especially, Revelation, just to name a few books about the Great Tribulation period at the end of Days. So here it is…
What I can I say, that I have not yet said, when it comes to looking at ourselves, and being RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for our own words and actions?
I included several verses from Chapter 18 of Ezekiel in the pictures that this devotional speaks on today, besides verse 31.
I am also going to try and help EXPLAIN what it means to go from a heart of STONE (sin) to a heart of FLESH = pliable, having ears that are WILLING to “hear what the Spirit has to say” (Ez. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:9, Lk 8:8; Rev. 13:9).
It is imperative that we as created beings who are sinners, realize that we must REPENT (Ps. 7:12; Jer. 5:3; Ez. 14:6; 18:30; Matt. 3:2; 4:17; 11:20; Mk. 1:15; Lu. 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; Rev. 2:16; 2:21) for those sins; and IF we do, the LORD God WILL forgive us. He did not allow His Son to suffer through so much pain and go to the Cross, taking upon Himself OUR sins, for nothing.
But humans must ACKNOWLEDGE their sins, and RID themselves of them–“cast away from you ALL the transgressions that YOU have committed…” (vs 31) What will happen IF and WHEN we REPENT of those sins? Will the LORD truly forgive us? Will He seriously save us from those eternal Fires?
YES–because His Word is true (Ps. 18:30) and just–LOOK at what it says at the last part of that same verse (31):
“…and make for yourselves a NEW HEART and a NEW SPIRIT…”– 🤔Gee, where did we see similar verses like that before?
Ezekiel 36:26 states (and the LORD GOD is speaking here), “And I WILL GIVE YOU a NEW HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of STONE (unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred = sin) from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU…(vs 27)”
Let’s jump over to the NT in the Gospel of John, when the Lord Jesus was speaking with Nicodemus about the new birth, in verses 3-8, concentrating on verses 3,5, and 7-I’ll put those three verses here:
“Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS one is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the Kingdom of God” (vs. 3).
“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER (baptism) and the SPIRIT (confession of sins = REPENTENCE, calling upon the name of the LORD to be SAVED -Joel 2:32, Rom. 10:13), he CANNOT ENTER the Kingdom of God” (vs. 5).
“Do NOT marvel that I said to you, ‘You MUST be BORN AGAIN’ “(vs. 7).
It is the SPIRIT OF MAN that was “connected” to the LORD GOD when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, BEFORE they sinned, and could have COMMUNION with the Most High–seeing Him, speaking to Him, etc. There was NO SIN separating man from God at that point. Mankind is MADE IN THE IMAGE of GOD (Gen. 1:26-27); we are essentially (and in THIS ORDER!) SPIRIT (an eternal being that NEVER DIES), SOUL (our minds, will, and intellect), and FLESH (the covering that encases our spirit and souls, and meshes with and protects the vital organs, muscles, nerves, bones, etc.).
The problem is, ONCE Adam and Eve SINNED, that broke that SPIRITUAL “connection” and “fellowship” with the LORD GOD (who I will TELL YOU–whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you), who was JESUS HIMSELF as a CHRISTOPHANY (because they could see Him, and speak with Him), while they were IN the Garden of Eden with Him. The Lord had no choice but to drive them out of the Garden of Eden because of their sins, breaking that spiritual bond with Him, and also–He did NOT want them to take of the Tree of LIFE, eat that fruit, and then eternally have no opportunity for redemption and salvation (which Genesis 3:15 hints to us that the LORD God already had a plan in the works for that).
The Lord Jesus provided a WAY for us to have that “spiritual connection” “repaired” or “re-established” in us humans, by allowing US to have FREE WILL CHOICE (just like the sons of God and Adam and Eve had) to either ACCEPT or REJECT Him and His Word (remember–the Lord ✝️Jesus IS THE LITERAL WORD 📖OF GOD!). Hence the term in John 3:3, 7 where the Lord Jesus states, “born AGAIN”. The “connection” to the Spirit of God that was no longer there in us humans due TO the sins mankind committed at the Fall, COULD BE “reconnected” or BORN AGAIN within a person BECAUSE that person CHOOSES LIFE in the Lord Jesus = GOD=that selfsame SPIRIT of GOD (see 1 Cor. 12; 2Cor. 3:18), Who then LIVES WITHIN the human spirit, soul, and body, and LEADS and GUIDES them, as LONG as they WHOLEHEARTEDLY accept the Lord as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives. The Holy Spirit will then RULE over THEIR human spirit, and teach, lead, correct, chastise, rebuke (lovingly!), comfort, encourage, etc. them for the rest of their days here on Earth.
You are not part of a certain “church group” with that term–EVERY PERSON WHO CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD AND HIS SON FOR SALVATION, REDEMPTION, AND DELIVERANCE (also very important–to get rid of any and all demonic interference and infestations the person allowed IN their lives!) THEN WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING IN THEM!!! GET IT OUT OF YOUR SKULLS, PEOPLE–YOUR DENOMINATIONS WILL NOT SAVE YOU–ONLY THE LORD GOD AND HIS SON WILL!! I WILL NOT HAVE JUST ONE “DENOMINATION” OVER ANOTHER–I HAVE NO DENOMINATIONS IN HEAVEN–THERE IS BUT THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITH ALL THE HOLY ANGELS, CREATURES, AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ON THEM, WHO ARE PART OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND WHO HAVE BEEN GRAFTED INTO THE COVENANT I MADE WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB!
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️OH–IF YOU HATE MY PEOPLE, YOU HATE ME, AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELVES IN THE ETERNAL FIRES, WAILING AND GNASHING YOUR TEETH, FOR YOU WERE NOT PART OF THE TRUE INHERITANCE THAT I CHOSE FOR MYSELF, WHICH IS ISRAEL! MY DELIVERER–YESHUA–WHO IS ONE WITH ME (see Jn. 17:21,23; Eph. 4:4-6) CAME OUT OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, WHO HAD ISAAC, WHICH PRODUCED JACOB–WHO IS ISRAEL!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
🙏📖For ALL that would say something like, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner; I know that I have said and done things that I am ashamed of. I ask You and the Father, and the Holy Spirit, to please FORGIVE ME of ALL my sins, and I ask You to CLEANSE and WASH me clean, with the water of Your Word, which I promise that I will learn to read, study, trust and OBEY, with Your help. PLEASE ALLOW the HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT to come INTO me, as it says in Your Word that He will (Jn. 3:5, 14:26, 16:13), and let Him LEAD, GUIDE, and TEACH me all that You want me to know. Bring to my remembrance ALL those things in Your 📖WORD, that I should be doing, so that I NO LONGER CHOOSE TO SIN. If I do make a mistake and sin, I know that I can come to YOU, and the Word says that “If we CONFESS our sins (as true children of God), He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us (with again, the water of His WORD) from ALL unrighteousness” (1 Jn. 1:9). I know Lord, that even though man has many ways of trying to teach who YOU are, YOU ALONE can do the job (1Jn. 2:27) if I cannot find worthy Spirit-filled, Bible-believing teachers and pastors–YOU ALONE can teach me as You taught Ezekiel, Elijah, Jeremiah, and even Abraham, David, Moses, etc. I have NO EXCUSE but to come to YOU, and allow YOU to lead and guide me in my daily FAITH walk here on Earth, until the Day You call me Home to be with You. I ask You to please accept me as not only Your child, but Your servant, to do the work that YOU, LORD God my Father, Lord Jesus-my Lord, Savior, Master, and KING-and Holy Spirit, Who is ONE with the Father and the Son–allow me to live the rest of my days out WHOLEHEARTEDLY SERVING YOU, in whatever capacity You desire me to. I thank You for SAVING MY ETERNAL LIFE–for without You, and what You done on the Cross for me, Lord Jesus, I would not have any chance for Eternal life in Your Presence; I would deserve to be with all those who have rejected You, and will find themselves unfortunately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15), for that is their just judgment that THEY CHOSE for themselves, by rejecting their God and King. I ask You to SAVE ME, and bring me into Your eternal family of God, and I THANK YOU for the MERCY and GRACE You already have shown me. I pray all of this in YOUR NAME, Lord Jesus–Amen.”
Beloved, CAST AWAY THOSE TRANSGRESSIONS AND SINS–NOW, while the “wood is (still) green” (Lk. 23:31), and the MERCY and GRACE of God is still WITH us, during this Time and Dispensation of His Grace–CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS TODAY.
This day may not even END, because He can call us children HOME at any moment, for “No one knows the Day or the Hour” (Matt. 24:36). For those who DO NOT choose the Lord God, or His Son Jesus in their lives–they DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT in them; but they have ANOTHER SPIRIT–the spirit of ANTICHRIST, which “already has come into this world” (1John 4:3).
****Those who are NOT HIS–the Lord’s–are RULED BY THE EVIL SPIRITS–the REBELLIOUS sons of God and their offspring–demons, disembodied spirits. They have NO ETERNAL LIFE in them, but ONLY ETERNAL DEATH. They have LEGAL GROUND to be in a human being who REJECTS CHRIST. Once a person’s breath is NO LONGER in them, and if they were NOT the Lord’s, they IMMEDIATELY are transported to the PIT of Sheol–the section which is overflowing with all those who have REJECTED the LORD God and His Son. They will be judged accordingly, at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Hebrews 9:27 tells us plainly: “And just as it is appointed for man to die ONCE (no reincarnation!!), and AFTER that comes JUDGMENT…”
If YOU know that you need to CONFESS your sins, do it NOW–TODAY. We are NOT promised yet another MINUTE here. ALL those who have decided to transgress themselves, and CHOOSE to NOT have the Triune Godhead in their lives, nor have His HOLY SPIRIT DWELL within them, The LORD God will allow them to choose for THEMSELVES, their ETERNAL destination, and He WILL recompense back on THEIR heads, ALL the evil that they have done, as they wail and gnash their teeth (Matt. 8:12; 13:50; 24:51; Luke 13:28).
🙏Beloved, I beg you, CHOOSE THE ✡️LORD GOD, His ✝️Son, and His 📖Word, and then you will have chosen ETERNAL LIFE with Him, and receive the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT Who will guide you to that Eternal life with Him, when That Day comes. ✡️📖✝️🕊️✡️📖✝️🕊️✡️📖✝️🕊️✡️📖✝️🕊️✡️📖✝️ From today’s Days of Praise devotionals: February 8, 2024 Cast Away Your Transgressions “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” (Ezekiel 18:31)
Ezekiel likely penned this call to repentance in 592 BC, six years before the fall of Jerusalem (please get that–he was INFORMING and WARNING “before” the fall!). He hoped that Israel would turn from their transgressions and seek God. Chapter 19 begins with “Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel” and references the past and future fates of evil kings of Judah—Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin, and the present king, Zedekiah. What are the implications of Ezekiel’s call to action and warning for today?
🌟One, we are responsible for our own sins, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 5:12). But “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” and become a new creature (Romans 10:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17). God is faithful and just to forgive believers if we confess and repent of our sins (1 John 1:9).
🌟Two, leaders are responsible for where and how they lead their followers. The kings of Judah led their people into rebellion, and they suffered God’s judgment. Believers must not let themselves become victims of “grievous wolves” who would lead them into sin (James 3:1-2; Acts 20:29). Paul warns, “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them” (Ephesians 5:6-7).
🌟Three, if we “cast away” our transgressions, God offers hope and salvation. This is available not only to the house of Israel but to everyone through Jesus Christ. Through Him, we can be “born again” (John 3:3) and be given “a new heart and a new spirit.” How will you heed Ezekiel’s sober but encouraging plea? CCM
