God's Laws Remain Very Relevant!!!

As we enter chapter 6 in the Book of Deuteronomy, there is a continued focus on God’s laws. I am led by the Spirit to point out a couple of things before we proceed, as many would think that sin is justified as long as we “repent”.

“For whoever keeps the whole Law but stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. For He who said, ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ also said, DO NOT MURDER.’ Now if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you have become guilty of transgressing the [entire] Law” (James 2: 10-11, AMP).

“What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father, we too might walk habitually in newness of life [abandoning our old ways]” (Romans 6: 1-4, AMP).

The LORD’ precepts, His truths, are our strength. “Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded thee. (The amplified version states to keep them foremost in your thoughts AND actively do them.) And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken” (Deuteronomy 6: 17-19, KJV).

God’s judgments are fulfilling faster than ever. And as scary as they are, the people of God must be rooted in Him. This is where our faith comes in, so pray in wisdom and in guidance by the Spirit. There is a deeper spiritual meaning to this, ask the Spirit for discernment in the latter, as you pray the former: “The apostles said to the LORD, ‘Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and His power]’. And the LORD said, ‘If you have [confident, abiding] faith in God [even as small] as a mustard seed, you could say to the mulberry tree [which have very strong roots], ‘Be pulled up by the roots and planted in the sea’; and [if the request was (and is!) in agreement with the will of God] it would have obeyed you” (Luke 12: 5-6, AMP).

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

You Will Not See, Hear, Nor Understand!!!

You Will Not See, Hear, Nor Understand!!! I listened to Celestial of “The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog” outline the heinous and agonizing acts of ICE agents, including sexual harassment, abuse, and even murder against men and women. Yet many act surprised when there are individuals throughout history such as Margaret Sanger, who openly promoted eugenics. Using birth control and abortions to limit the reproduction of “unfit” populations. Even past events, such as those that happened in the Atlantic Slave Trade and Cape Colony, known as “Bushmen hunting”, included mass murder, expropriation of land, forced labor, and child abductions. What was done in the Congo by Leopold II. Who extracted his fortunes in deliberate torture and killings. The colonization of the Americas, as Europeans spread diseases which the natives had no prior exposure, thus succumbing to these incubating carriers. In some instances, infections spread to animals, causing occurrences as “the great famine” in Ethi...
