We Live In An Amazing World Of Techo-gadgets!! Ballyhooed Products From Every Area Of Technology Have

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.

Imagine that you could walk into the White House and Oval Office at any time unannounced to have an audience with the President, or to the Queen at Buckingham Palace or speak at the podium to the UN!?! Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? In this world yes, but in the court of heaven - NO! ... and today’s scripture verse tells us why.

Our Heavenly Father has an 'Open Door' policy! Just like your children can come up to your lap anytime and say “Daddy!”, we also can come to the feet of the LORD at the throne and talk to Him any time we want. You don’t have to make an appointment, be at a certain 'level of spirituality or holiness', rank, level, or title before God because He is always welcome to you at any day, time, or moment. All you have to do is approach!

Too many believers think that they have to act like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ pounding at the gates to the kingdom in order to have an audience with the Most High, but if you think about it, that is ridiculous for this reason.

The Bible says that the heavenly City of Jerusalem is fifteen hundred miles square and God’s temple is smack-dab in the middle of it, so pounding at the gates (which are already open!) doesn’t make any spiritual sense because those gates are MILES away from the throne. You might as well yell into a barrel!

If you want your prayers to be heard, then go boldly go to God’s Throne, Christian! Then let your prayers and petitions known, asking both in FAITH and according to HIS WILL and He will hear you!

His eye may be on the sparrow, but he watches – and wants to listen – to YOU up close and personal. Boldly go before the throne! He is waiting for you THERE.

God Bless Your Day, Jesus Loves You

If there was one underlying principle of God it is this of God it is this - Listen, Heed, and then DO what we have heard when we hear it. That inner voice telling us what we should do is our conscience which comes from the Latin “conscientia” which means “a joint knowledge of something,” where your spirit intersects with God’s spirit. As today’s verse promises, when we heed that voice, it will always reward us, but failure to do so or putting it off will have a consequence.

Years ago I was planning on taking a long distance trip in my car, but noticed that it was leaking a little radiator fluid from the water pump. My inner voice told me to get it fixed before I left, but I delayed and decided to get it repaired at my destination. Well sure enough Delayed Obedience is DISOBEDIENCE and the water pump failed along the way resulting in an even bigger repair and a costly delay.

Friend, when you hear that still small steady voice telling you what you know you should do, do not delay but act TODAY because...

IMMEDIATE Obedience is Always REWARDED, but DELAYED Obedience will always be THWARTED.

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??

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?

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!

God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves You
