Ll Three Of The Things In Todays Verse Have Come To Pass Because Of 'The Thief.' So Who Is This Thief

ll three of the things in today’s verse have come to pass because of 'The Thief.' So who is this thief and what is his aim? These prophetic words of Christ give the answer, and so far, this thief has succeeded in manifesting these curses upon the world:

He has Stolen our freedom

He has Killed people through this virus

He has Destroyed nations and their economies (the Greek root of this word is literally 'home or house'!!)

The thief is Satan and his weapon is a Virus and while scientists say it may not have originated from a real snake, but not so coincidentally, just like in the Garden of Eden, it DID originate from “the great dragon...that old serpent called the Devil...which deceiveth the whole world.”. [ Revelation 12:9 ]

The Holy Spirit prompted me to look up the etymological origins of the word “virus” (which is a word that does NOT occur in the Bible) and I found out something very interesting!

The Latin source of this word is the word POISON and the word POISON in the original Greek of the Bible has as it’s word-root in the word ASP ... and SATAN is the great original ASP or SNAKE! Not so coincidentally, out of six of the seven times in the Bible that the word 'poison' is used, it is associated with 'snakes'!!!

Friends, the problems of the world are always best understood through the Lens of Scripture when we realize that our adversaries are not just physical (or medical), but also spiritual. (Ephesians 6:12) Is the Coronavirus real? Yes, absolutely, and continue to take all advocated precautions! But while governments and medical experts are working on solutions to this pressing crisis, realize that this is a SPIRITUAL ATTACK by a very powerful ASP and his POISON.

Vaccines and good hygiene will help solve this crisis, but the ultimate solution is in the BLOOD OF JESUS. Pray HIS healing and miraculous blood to cover the world just like it did in ancient Egypt at Passover when it saved and covered God’s people from the plague of death then over the world. Through Prayer, God will hear His people and when we do, do not be surprised if and when a dramatic turn-around happens a lot sooner than we have been told.

What can you do? Practice good health, but especially - good Spiritual Health and PRAY!

Long before cell phones, everyone had a telephone at home, and their name, address, and phone number was in a book published by the local phone company called “The White Pages.” So when someone wanted to reach you, you’d just tell them, “I’m In The Book!”

While the White Pages have long faded into history, there is another much more important book in heaven called THE BOOK OF LIFE, and in that book is written the names of all those that will one day be in heaven. As today’s verse says, not everyone’s name is in that book, because all those that are unworthy will not be allowed into heaven. So the question is, who are those that are WORTHY and those UNWORTHY, and which one are you?

God likewise, wants to reach you, and you must be IN THE BOOK and to do so, the Bible says:

“Do those things that will show that You have turned from your sins.” Matthew 3:8

This is what the Bible calls REPENTENCE, that is that you confess and admit that you are a sinner and are asking for God’s forgiveness. For many people this is not easy because they (maybe you?) don’t think you are that bad or that God is that unmerciful that your name isn’t automatically 'in the book' — but that is not what the Bible says! Only those that are found to be worthy are in that book and all those that are not worthy are not.

Friend, God cannot find you if your name is not IN THE BOOK, and there is no reason why your name should not be in it except you choose not to be in it. You can be worthy before God! Simply ask Him from a sincere and pure heart to forgive you of your sins, And He Will.

Is your name in the Book of Life?

Do you want it to be??

I walked by a shop recently that featured a window display of famous books. Each was covered in a brown-paper wrapper with a short comment about it, however it was the synopsis written on the Bible that was disturbing, simply saying “Religious Viewpoint” and “Violence.” This is an increasingly popular view today in categorizing the bible (often written with a small 'b') as a book from a dark, past time in human history that has no place in this modern, enlightened age. If this is your way of thinking, you’d be well advised to take another look because actually the exact opposite truth of the Bible is that this is the ultimate amazing life-saving story to redeem the world and everyone in it from Rebellion to Restoration with God.

Unlike the other books in this window, this - The Greatest Of All Books - tells a story far deeper and more important than any other. Not only is it a mistake to dismiss it as the false views of ages past, it is even a bigger mistake to mock and dismiss it as just one of many misguided “Religious Viewpoints.”

Friend, do not dismiss or mock this book or the warning it is giving you in today’s scripture! If there is any one book in the 'bookstore window of life' that you must read and understand that will lift you from PUNISHMENT to PROMOTION it is This One.

We live in an amazing world of techo-gadgets!! Ballyhooed products from every area of technology have taken us into a future like the epic 60’s cartoon “The JETSONS” where flying cars, video telephones and robots serve us by voice command or with the touch of a finger. What was once science fiction now has become science fact.

Today many people can’t live without tech - and for many - even idolize it. Studies show that some people daily spend an amazing amount of 'screen time' watching videos, playing games, texting, of taking/sharing pics to the point of ignoring the world around them. Some even say that they can’t imagine life without it.

However, the Bible says that whenever you look to a person or thing that much, those ICONs become an IDOL. In fact, our screens are literally filled with ICONS, and for many touching these icons (e.g. social media, entertainment, or shopping) has become their whole life, and that icon becomes an idol that you cannot live without.

However as today’s scripture illustrates, as 'cool' as these icons of tech are, in the end, they are all worthless. That’s easy to understand just by remembering your first cell phone or PC when THEN it was the essence of 'cool,' but TODAY it’s backward and worthless. Likewise, all the things of this world will also pass away but in the grand timing of eternity, there is only one thing that you’ll never be able to live without and that is having the LORD God who made you.

There is nothing wrong with modern tech, but do not count on a Jetson-like world to bring you joy, because all these gadgets will eventually pass away, but God will NEVER pass away. Put your future and trust in Him because He — and not the idols of the world — is the only one that can bring you TRUE Peace, Tranquility and Oneness.

We’ve all seen signs of warning while driving, but the same can be said about seeing danger signs as we travel along the highway of life. We can try to ignore them, but at some point before this trip called 'life' ends you will have to make a choice if these signs are real or not. So the question for you is this - “Will you heed these warning signs or ignore them?” There is indescribable danger ahead in eternity and if you do ignore them you will arrive at a destination where there is NO ESCAPE OR EXIT. Once there, there is no backing up, no turning around, and truly - no exit. It is a one way street to a literal DEAD END of eternal condemnation that is without remedy.

The good news is that God has given us many signs that will direct us to the destination that He wants to bring us to, but to get there we have to read and follow the signs He has given us, and all the directions we need to navigate the highway of life are found in one 'road atlas,' and this is the Bible.

Jesus tells the story of a rich man trapped in hell where he regretfully realizes that there is NO EXIT. He is fully conscious of his past life and the wrong turns that got him there despite the signs he chose to ignore, and he begs that someone would go back to warn his brothers of this horrible dead end he has found himself. Sadly Jesus replies to him that all people are given signs that point away from hell and lead to eternal life - and ALL of those signs are in the Bible - the same Bible he chose to ignore.

The word repent means to change one’s mind so the question today as you travel down the road of life is this – will you pay attention to these warning signs to not go down the WRONG ROAD and change your mind to go in a safe direction? Turn away from the road that leads to a DEAD END and travel the straight road that leads to eternal life! (Matthew 7:14)

The choice is yours. Follow the road that leads to Christ! Heed the signs He has given and do not go down the path that most people follow that leads to destruction! (Matthew 7:13)
