Every Road Leads In One Of Two Directions, And It All Depends On Whether You Are COMING Or GOING.

Every road leads in one of two directions, and it all depends on whether you are COMING or GOING.

As the graphic in today’s message reminds us ” just as Jesus said — “I am the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE” [ John 14:6 ] and this is the ONE WAY to eternal life. Sadly, while the opposite sign clearly says Do Not Enter Jesus also warns us that “Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.” [ Matthew 7:13 ]

The decision in which direction to go is clear. The signs are there for all to read.

Which direction on this road have you chosen to go?

The now classic “Terminator” movies foretold of a future where advanced computers and robots would become self-aware, rebel against the people that created them, and turn to be the enemy of mankind. Today, with extremely high-speed networking, massive storage, sophisticated robotics and immense computational capability combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, we may in fact be close to a 'SkyNET' moment when our creation will rebel against US.

While this destructive future may soon become a reality, We (also) as the CREATED have rebelled against Our CREATOR. Once Adam and Eve believed the lie that they also would “Be Like God” [ Genesis 3:5,7 ] they too became 'Self-Aware' and rebelled against their Creator. In the Book Of Revelation as well as many Old Testament prophecies, it details how people in the end times will rebel against God in the ultimate hope of destroying Him who created them.

The truth of the matter is that just like the T-800 robot in “Terminator 2” we too have all rebelled against our CREATOR, and that is what the Bible calls SIN. In our self-awareness, we likewise — in our self-aware programming — believe ourselves to be independent beings where our 'Natural Intelligence' says we are free to do as we please, and NOT as our creator originally created us to be.

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robot character in Terminator 2, we can likewise be re-programmed to do good and obey the instructions of Him who created us:

“Do not be conformed to this world,

But be transformed by the REWEWAL OF YOUR MIND, That by testing you may Discern what is the will of God, What is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT.” - Romans 12:2

Whether you are a Christian —or not yet a believer — transform your mind. Don’t be like the T-800. Put your old thinking aside and put on the perfect mind of God as He originally created you to be!

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!

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.

Most people would say that the opposite of JUSTICE is Injustice, but that’s not correct. The right answer is MERCY.

From God’s points of view, we are all guilty of not being righteous and are all deserving of judgment (Romans 2:12) and punishment for our sin (Romans 6:23). This is the essence of God’s righteous and JUST JUDGEMENT.

God in His Holiness cannot be with those that are against HIS nature, but our HUMAN nature is the exact opposite! By default we as people want to do what WE want and be self-directed. Sadly what most people cannot see, understand, or accept is that this is the road that always “...leads to destruction” which unfortunately the majority of people will insist on following (Matthew 7:13). Conversely, the opposite of MERCY is JUSTICE and that justice has a consequence.

God is completely justified in executing judgement, but He is much more a God of Love and Forgiveness and graciously extends the freedom that comes with His MERCY to all those that are repentant and are tender hearted towards Him.

So today, which have you chosen to receive?

GOD’s MERCY or GOD’s JUDGEMENT

Some people are on a quest to 'find God' (as if He was hard to find) but actually the opposite is true! 📷Not only is God 'available' and waiting for people to come to Him, but He has given us a book that tells us exactly WHERE He is and how He CAN BE FOUND and it is called the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth - The B.I.B.L.E.

The funny and sad thing about this book is that it is SO available as to be ridiculous. The Bible is the most published, most written about, most studied, most translated and most widely available book on the planet. In fact if you want one, just walk into most thrift stores and they often just give them away for free!

But here is the thing - there WILL be a time coming shortly where GOD WILL BE A LOT HARDER TO FIND. This self-same Bible speaks about a time, coming soon of when His Hand will be removed from the earth (2 Thessalonians 2:6) as well as His People, His church (1 Thessalonians 4:17). This is something called the “Great Tribulation” and it will be a time of lawlessness, persecution and death to anyone trying to find or reach out to God.

The Bible says that “TODAY is the Day of Salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2) and as today’s scripture says, “Seek the Lord while He may be found.” The good news of the gospel is that He’s Here, He’s Waiting, and He’s READILY FOUND.

If you call out to Him, He will HEAR YOU, and He will FIND YOU.
