In Todays Scripture God Is Asking Job If He Has Seen The Gates Or The Shadow Of Death. Like Job, The

In today’s scripture God is asking Job if he has seen the gates or the shadow of death. Like Job, the answer as we walk down the road of life is 'no' but if you look over your shoulder, silently behind all of us the shadow of death gets closer and closer each day with every step we take.

We can never out-run the shadow of death. It follows in our footsteps, and one day the shadow of death will catch up to us, but despite this ominous fact there is a way to escape it!

David wrote in Psalm 23 that “Thou I walk in the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,” but those that do NOT walk with and toward God have a much different outcome as Jesus said:

“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:46

Friend, while all of us will come to the door of Physical Death, God has provided a way of escape from SPIRITUAL DEATH and the everlasting fate of it through salvation in Christ.

Will you choose today to escape and walk towards and with God in His righteousness, or will you let the shadow of eternal death catch up to you?

Sometimes things are 'hidden' from us because what we’ve heard was so preposterous as to not be believable. Such was the case with Jesus’ followers as he was about to make his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The anticipation of all was that He was the Messiah, and as the King of Israel he’d overthrow the occupying Romans and usher in the new kingdom. Instead Jesus tells them:

“The Son Of Man will be BETRAYED…they will CONDEMN him to death…and MOCK and spit on him.” Mark 10:33

As today’s verse from the Gospel of Luke implies they just 'Didn’t Get It' and ESPECIALLY did not get the many times previously that he told them that he would be crucified, die, be buried — and then Rise From The Dead.

If you are like the fellow on the right, you 'Get That' but for many like the fellow on the left, this makes absolutely no sense, and is in fact NONSENSE.

Friend, while this may seem preposterous, this is the heart of the Gospel — plain and simple:

Jesus Christ was God made man and came to earth to deliver and save us from sin and death. At the cross he died, and by the sacrifice of his blood paid the price for the sins of ALL who would simply believe and confess this as TRUE. For those that do, by his grace he gives eternal life and frees all from the condemnation of both physical and spiritual death.

Is the idea that Christ died, was raised from the dead, and now is alive TRUE?

...or is it still “Hidden From You?”

There is a big difference between a 'Wish' and HOPE. One of these has power and substance, but the other is an empty shell — and here’s why.

A WISH is a desire of the heart that has defined the shape of what you want but will always just be an empty outline of that which you seek. Wishing does not make anything come to pass except an emptiness inside that mirrors the emptiness of the outline you have drawn in your heart and mind.

On the other hand, HOPE also creates the image of the thing desired but ** Will come to pass when filled with the application of FAITH! **

This is what the Bible means when it says that “Without FAITH it is impossible to please God.” God only responds to prayers and supplications offered up in FAITH, and when the 'Prayer Of Faith' is applied to 'That Which Is Hoped For' and offered up by asking according to God’s will (1 John 5:14) then the Bible promises us that “You shall HAVE what you SAY.” (Mark 11:23)

The key to everything with God is Faith. It is Faith applied in HOPE that yields the fruit of LOVE.

Friend, richly fill your HOPE with FAITH and watch what God will do!

If you saw a sign that said MINEFIELD but someone offered you a map that guaranteed a safe way around it, would you choose to take that route? Of course your would…that is, unless you didn’t believe that that map was any good.

In this story the Bible is the map, the minefield is the passage through this world. Sadly, the tragedy is given this offer many don’t even want to look at that map or even consider that they need any help. Instead as Jeremiah 18:12 said:

“We will walk after our own devices and We will do everyone after the Stubbornness of his evil heart.”

No matter HOW carefully they choose to go their own way, instead it will always guarantee a deadly eternal end.

Friend, Jesus said “I am The Way” and “Follow Me,” and for all those that believe the sure word of God and follow in the steps of Christ will have a safe passage through and beyond this life that is GUARANTEED.

Will you 'Walk After Your Own Way' or follow Christ who is THE WAY?.

We’ve all had situations that knock us down when nothing was going right, we didn’t know how to get back up on our feet and start wallowing in self-pity. The good news is that while we may be down, it doesn’t mean we’re 'out!'

You see, despite our trials God is bigger than our circumstances and is always there to help in times of trouble. No matter what you are going through right now, take comfort in knowing that your Heavenly Father is always watching over you:

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

While life at times drags us down it can be hard to keep our spirits up, but despite our circumstances God’s promise and our assurance is that He is indeed always with us.

Remember, friend, Everything is Temporary and there *will* be Good Days AHEAD.

Will you look to and depend on Him today?

The much ballyhooed “New World Order” is NOT some future event. It is here NOW…But It’s Not “New!”

4,500 years ago the entire world was united as one, and together they created a tower that reached into heaven seeking to make themselves equal with God. As today’s scripture verse says, there literally was 'nothing restrained from them that they could do.'

The exact same thing is happening again today.

In a cyclical parallel, the entire world is also combining their resources together to weave a web of information augmented by Artificial Intelligence (AI). People of every tongue can not only work together in 'One Language,' but through unlimited computing power and data storage are becoming totally unrestrained to create a new world of GOD-LIKE POWERS.

The Bible says that just as it was at the Tower of Babel, people today are again rebelling against God in the smugness of their collective power to imagine a new world of 'Human 2.0' with a brain chip that connects you directly to the Internet. What they don’t see — just as it was centuries ago — is that Their Collective Oneness & Technology Will NOT Save Them.

The answer is not the False promise of re-programming DNA for Extended Life, but the True promise of Jesus Christ for ETERNAL LIFE.

Friend, technology cannot save you or the world - but Christ can.

Put your trust and future IN HIM.
