I Once Heard That It Is Possible To Make The Explosive TNT (Nitroglycerin) If You Mix Just The Right

I once heard that it is possible to make the explosive TNT (Nitroglycerin) if you mix just the right amount of manure (nitrogen) and butter (glycerin.) Now I’m not sure if that that is possible but assuming this was true, it would indeed make a powerful combination.

This idea of mixing two key ingredients together to form a powerful element is at the heart of today’s scripture lesson, and like this fabled union of nitrogen and glycerin, the act of mixing the WORD and FAITH when applied is Real Spiritual Dynamite!

Hebrews 4:2 also says that when the Good News (i.e. The Gospel) is spoken to even those that that have the FAITH to BELIEVE, it’s message is indeed DYNAMIC! In the original language the word “power” in the following verse literally is our English word for 'DYNAMITE!'

“The gospel (WORD) of Christ…is the POWER of God to salvation for everyone who believes (FAITH)” Romans 1:16

Friend if you are just casually listening or reading the Word of God and not mixing it with FAITH, the power of what God can and will do in your life will not manifest. So take the Word of God and believe it, act upon it, and apply it fully mixed with faith in what it says. Then and only then will you experience the POWER that will be unleashed by God for you “to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

Honoring God is the single most important thing that believers can do, yet when it comes to prayer, the 80/20 rule is usually the case. That is for many believers 80% of prayer is in asking God to do something or bless someone, but only 20% of the time is spent giving God praise.

While in the world, the normal rule is the top 20% is the main focus of attention, but in the spiritual world it needs to be the Exact Opposite. Just as today’s scripture — along with over one hundred fifty other verses exhorts us, God is to be honored and glorified FIRST before anything else.

If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ or believer, all this 'praising the lord' stuff must not make any sense — and that is totally understandable, but consider this…

If God really is who the Bible says He IS, that is, THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING we see from the most distant galaxies in deep space photographed by the Hubble telescope to the astounding complexity of DNA to the miracle of the aerodynamic impossibility of bumble bees flying. But instead, many “believe” that instead a somewhat unexplainable 'Big Bang' occurred for an unknown reason out of nothing and then the scientific 'fact' that you and I all evolved out of a hot molten rock that just happened to be the precise distance from the sun to support life requires a lot more 'faith' then acknowledging the unfathomable majesty that God IS and rightfully deserves!

Whether you are a believer in God or not, He is the GREAT “I AM” and as such is worthy to be praised and thanked first above all else for all that He has created — and for your very existence and life.

Give God the Glory, not just 80% of the time, but always, and the rest will take care of itself, as Jesus promised:

“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” - Matthew 6:8

Being 'Woke' is popular today, but the first people in history that were truly WOKE were Adam and Eve and they fell for the same lie from the same deceptive serpent that like today represents nothing that is good. Once Adam and Eve accepted Satan’s lies they were faced with the consequences of their choice for embracing 'wokeness' — and the same exact consequences that destroyed their world are also destroying our world today.

The first lie is when the snake said, “Did God really say that?” Likewise those that espouse WOKENESS question everything that is true and good and are replacing this with a “NEW TRUTH” that openly rejects what they claim are false traditions of 'truths' of manipulative lies to control and suppress people.

The second lie is the same error that Eve made. She reasoned that because something appeared to be “good...and pleasant to the eyes” that therefore it was OK to partake in it. Likewise today many foolishly think that whatever is thought that brings one pleasure and partake in is perfectly fine, not matter how weird, colorful, or bizzare. 'Life' is as each person defines it, not as natural law, common sense or biology dictates. Consequently in the past what had been considered honorable, holy or righteous has now been rejected as evil or obsolete, and ANYTHING that was previously considered wrong is now perfectly OK.

But the biggest consequence of walking in 'wokeness' is a divorce from all that is good. This means from GOD, from EDEN (the world that He intended for us to live), and from EACH OTHER.

When Cain slew Able conflict between people raged and people were scattered into tribes and became DIVERSE, which literally means to SEPARATE.

WOKNESS SEEKS DIVISION OF PEOPLE, defining people in classes of haves and have-nots, those superior and those inferior and NOT in the bringing of humanity together in unity.

My friend, 'WOKENESS' is not 'new truths' but an old lie from the month of the same snake. Don’t fall for this same old lie which promises a new world order of man-defined justice! Instead:

“Depart from evil, and do good!” Psalm 34:14

In Christ — and in Him alone — comes truth, unity, and pure AWAKENING light.

Will you choose to be AWAKE TO CHRIST or AWAKE TO WOKENESS?

Can people choose to step back from 'god', 'christ' & 'truth' even when they experience it first hand?

Three striking examples of this were Thomas, Peter, and Judas when each of them at a crucial moment stepped back from what they knew as true in dramatic fashion.

Although Thomas personally experienced many of Jesus’ miracles, he DOUBTED the miracle that Christ rose from the dead unless he had proof it was true. Peter - at a key moment that was going to embarrass him for being a follower of Christ - DENIED and even cursed the fact he even knew him. Lastly Judas, once a friend in Jesus’ inner circle became a DEFECTOR who decided to align himself with those that hated Christ and all that he stood for.

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then YOU are one of these three types of people.

You either DOUBT who Christ is, DENY and are ashamed to associate yourself with Christ, or are a DEFECTOR and enemy of God and all that he stands for.

Friend, the choice to be a DOUBTER, DENIER, DEFECTOR, or instead a DISCIPLE of 'GOD','CHRIST' & 'TRUTH' is entirely up to you.

Which one of these four types are you?

There are three types of laws in the world:

► Physical Law (like gravity and motion), ► Legal Law (by authorities such as police or government) ► Spiritual Law (defined by God.)

For example, if someone jumps off a cliff, the law of gravity would be applied to a painful end. The consequence here would be immediate.

A driver breaking traffic law by driving recklessly as intoxicated or running a red light could hurt you or others, and there would be legal and possibly physical consequences. If the person at fault were to escape the scene, the consequence here may be delayed.

Spiritual Law is the most important of the three laws, but sadly is all too often shown the smallest respect. Why? Because unlike Physical or Legal Law, these types of transgressions can and often are hidden in secret or within the mind and heart. As a result, it is easy to think that since “no one is looking” that there is no consequence because if you are not caught, then 'logically' where is the crime? But the Bible tells us clearly that there is a consequence for all of our actions, whether they are done in public or in secret...“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10

My friend, do not make the mistake that if you do something in secret or do not get caught that you are “safe!!” There is a Day of Judgement and everything “Hidden in Secret” will be clearly known (Mark 4:22) and that consequence will be certain and conclusive! Therefore, run towards and obey God and not ourselves because “True safety is in the LORD.” (Proverbs 18:10)

Looking at the growing chaos happening in the world, we have to ask ourselves, 'Where does such chaos come from?' and today’s verse from Micah 2:1 gives the answer to this and draws an import distinction between SIN and INIQUITY.

While we all sin, the difference between the two is this:

SIN in is -Not- Inquity, but All INIQUITY -Is- Sin.

Iniquity is not just doing wrong, but in expressly executing evil. The Apostle Paul describes these as people that reject any acknowledgement of God, have depraved minds, and are filled with every kind of wickedness and malicious behavior. He concludes in Romans 1:32 saying that those that act this way not only celebrate these things, but approve of others that also do such things.

As today’s scripture reference says depraved evil is preceded by deliberate planning. Those that work iniquity meditate on it in the darkness of night, then put it into action. 911 was an example of a once unthinkable thought of crashing jets into buildings. Such imaginations are inconceivable for a moral mind, but an expected outcome from a mind of iniquity.

Jesus said the end result of this iniquity will be a time of great tribulation “..that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now - and never will again.” The only safety from the coming breakdown and anarchy in the world is in the salvation God offers to all who repent of their SIN and believe on Christ.

Friend, the signs are all around us. The end of life as we have known it is coming rapidly to an end. Seek God and believe this word:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
