We are in the Last days: Is your Child protected?

 

1 Corinthians 7:14

"For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy."

 

**Children are covered under the parent(s) that is saved. But if both parents are not saved, that child is unclean, therefore their soul is in jeopardy. This has been a controversial topic for years, because when it comes to children, every one wants the best for them, especially when it comes down to their soul. As we all should know as it is written and proven in God's Word, that we were born in sin, as it says in Psalms 51:5 **

 

Psalms 51:5

"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceived me."

 

--Babies are not accommodated when it comes to the sins of their parents. Remember the days of Noah? Only 8 people were saved from the flood that destroyed the earth. Every thing that had breath, died; all of the people, animals, and yes including the children died, due to the wickedness of the world. God warned about the flood, but the people lived it up in the world, rather than repent to the Lord. Because of their actions, it had cost not only their life, but their children's as well. That is why it is important to not only be born again through Jesus Christ, but we are to bring our child up in the Church, to be fed the True Word of God. As it says in Proverbs 22:6

 

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

 

** We are to bring up our child in the Church, where they are to learn the whole truth of what is right and wrong, good and evil, for them to know how they are to walk with Jesus. What I see today, is a lack of power and structure within the households of many; they do not have a strong foundation (The way of Christ), therefore the children are prone to the wickedness of this world. I see how the world has become more evil, and has affected the way children are being brought up today. From the video games to the television shows and movies, it is toxin to all who see it; children have been majorly affected with this poison, and the parents don't care. The Lord is coming very soon, and what He is showing to many is that the days are truly worse than the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. **

The Messiah

 

The people of Israel were waiting for the Messiah, their king. Matthew begins his book by showing how Jesus Christ was a descendant of David. But Matthew goes on to show that God did not send Jesus to be an early king but a heavenly king. His Kingdom would be much greater than David's because it would never end. Even at Jesus' birth, many recognized him as a king. Herod, the ruler, as well as Satan, was afraid of Jesus' kingship and tried to stop him, but others worshiped him and brought royal gifts. We must be willing to recognize Jesus for who he really is and worship him as King of our life.

Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, directions for living in his Kingdom. He also told many parables about the difference between his Kingdom and the kingdoms of earth. Forgiveness, peace, and putting others first are some of the characteristics that makes one great in the Kingdom of God. And to be great in God's Kingdom, we must live by God's standards right now. Jesus came to show us how to live as faithful subjects in his Kingdom.

Jesus was formally presented to the nation of Israel but was rejected. How strange for the king to be accused, arrested, and crucified. But Jesus demonstrated his power, even death, through his resurrection and gained access for us into his Kingdom. With all this evidence that Jesus is God's Son, we too, should accept him as our Lord.     

 

Jesus was the Messiah, the one for whom the Jews had waited to deliver them from Roman oppression. Yet, tragically, they didn't recognize him when he came because his kingship was not what they expected. The true purpose of God's anointed deliverer was to die for all people to free them from sin's oppression.

Because Jesus was sent by God, we can trust him with our life. It is worth everything we have to acknowledge him and give ourselves to him, because he came to be our Messiah, our Savior.

The Kingdom of God

Jesus came to earth to begin his kingdom. His full Kingdom will be realized at his return and will be made up of anyone who has faithfully followed him.

The way to enter God's Kingdom is by faith, believing in Christ to save us from sin and change our life. we must do the work of his Kingdom now to be prepared for his return.

Teachings

Jesus taught the people through sermons, illustrations, and parables. Through his teachings, he showed the true ingredients of faith and how to guard against a fruitless and hypocritical life.

Jesus teachings show us how to prepare for life in his eternal kingdom by living properly right now. he lived what he taught, we preach.

Resurrection

When Jesus rose from the dead, he rose in power as the true king. In his victory over death, he established his credentials as King and his power and authority over evil.

The resurrection shows Jesus all-powerful life for us not even death could stop his plan of offering eternal life. Those who believe in Jesus can hope for a resurrection like his. Our role is to tell his story to all the earth so that everyone may share in his victory.   

The Birth and preparation of Jesus, the Kind

Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

II Samuel 7:12-14  And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:  

1 Chronicles 17 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

Unto us a Child is born

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Division of People over Jesus

John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

 Mentioned coming from the seed of David

Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

The supernatural powers of God

Matthew 1:20-23

The angel declared to Joseph that Mary's child was conceived by the Holy Ghost and would be a son. This revels an important truth about Jesus he is both God and man. God took on the limitations of humanity so he could live and die for the salvation of all who would believe in him.

The conception and birth of Jesus are super-natural events beyond human logic or reasoning. Because of his, God sent angels to help certain people understand the significance of what was happening.

Jesus means "Savior." Jesus came to earth to save us because we can't save ourselves from sin's consequences. No matter how good we are, we can't eliminate the sinful nature present in all of us. Only Jesus can do that. Jesus didn't come to help people save themselves; he came to be their Savior from the power and penalty of sin. Thank Christ for his death on the cross for your sin, and then ask him to take control of your life. Your new life begins at that moment.

Jesus was to be called Emmanuel (God with us), as predicted by Isaiah the prophet (Isaiah 7:14) Jesus was God in the flesh; thus God was literally among us. Through the Holy Spirit, God is present today in the life of every believer. Perhaps not even Isaiah understood how far-reaching the meaning of "Emmanuel" would be.

All you have to do is believe

All you have to do is believe

The hardest thing in life is to believe. This world works on proof, evident, and the carnality. God’s works are spiritual and not earthly. The works of the hands of the Lord are not logical and possible for the human mind to understand. We need to believe and except it by faith and fear not. We need to believe out of the box.  If you could see through the eyes of Jesus you will believe that all things are possible. What must we do to believe? Trust in the Lord.

Did the young lad David believe in his stones, or did he believe in the Lord? I Samuel 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

David even claimed is victory by saying I Samuel 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 

I we ask the impossible in the name of Jesus and believe your request will be given. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 

Fear

We serve the God of the living not the God of the dead. What did God tell Moses? He said he was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Exodus 3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.  

Moses questioned God with fear. Exodus 3:14-15 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 

Fear again

Moses question God again

Exodus 4:1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 

The Lord repeated to Moses that he must tell the children of Israel that it is the same God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Faith is something not seen

Romans 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Lets Believe !!!!!!!

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.      

Ending words

In this life all things measure up to something. If you give the devil an inch he will be your ruler, But if you give your hand and heart to Jesus he will be your leader. Ask yourself this? Who is your ruler, and leader in your life? Hebrew 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

The True meaning of Easter

When you think of Easter, you probably think of the Easter Bunny, colored eggs and lots of candy... but to Christians around the world it is much, much more. Easter is the most important Christian holiday of the year.

Easter Day is the day Christians remember Jesus rising from the dead.  After his brutal crucifixion, a large stone was rolled over his tomb. But shortly after his death when followers went back to honor Jesus, the stone had mysteriously been moved and only the cloth that wrapped Jesus' body was laying there. As the story goes, Jesus' body was no longer in the tomb and he had in fact risen from his death in order to save us all. An angel nearby this tomb told his followers of the miracle that had taken place.

Matthew 28:2-6 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

The resurrection, as described in the Bible, means that at the very moment Jesus rose from the dead, was the very moment we would be given everlasting life. Christians would now receive new life after death. 

Why did Jesus die?  Romans 5:6 and Romans 6:6-13

Jesus died for each one of us. We have all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There are no exceptions. People lie, steal, kill, fornicate, ignore God, use his name in vain and do much evil. When we do evil, it is called sin and sin must be punished. When a criminal commits a crime, we fully expect him to be punished. Well, each of us is a law breaker. We have repeatedly broken God's holy, righteous laws and we deserve to go to hell. God's word tells us to do what is right. It tells us to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It also tells us not to lie, steal, kill, fornicate, dishonor our parents and covet other people's things. But look around at society. Men do the opposite of what God says. The television teaches the opposite of what God says. We have all done evil with no exceptions. Whoever you are that is reading this article, you have sinned too. Jesus died to save your soul. You are not just a statistic, just one of billions of people. You are unique and made by God. He is not willing that you should perish. He sent his Son to save your soul.

No rebel is going to make it into God's heaven, not one. Liars, whoremongers, thieves, drunkards, sodomites, adulterers, false prophets, hypocrites, atheists, fake preachers, witches, God haters, and all other rebels are going to go to hell for their sins. All men have sinned and are worthy of hell and the lake of fire.

Jesus came down here to save us from our sins.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Jesus came down here to be the sacrifice for our sins. He came down here to die in our place so that we can be reconciled to God. Jesus shed his precious blood on the cross and let it flow out in payment for the crimes that we have committed. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who was slain for our transgressions. He died as the propitiation for our sins. He was punished in our place. He was the only one qualified to die for us because he is perfect and lived on this earth without sin, the perfect man and God manifested in the flesh. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He took on a body and shed his blood for us, for our sins and transgressions. God knew that we are helpless and beset by sins, but he did not give up on us. He made a way for us to be saved from our sins. There is only ONE way to be saved, and that is through the blood of Jesus and nobody else.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6

God so loved this world that he gave us his perfect, only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to pay for our sins. The Lord Jesus Christ came down here over 2,000 years ago--we even reckon time based on his birth. His name is Emmanuel which means, "God with us."
