In or Out - March 14, 2014

Scripture: Revelations 7-11
15“That is why they stand in front of God’s throne
and serve him day and night in his Temple.
And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.
16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty;
they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.
17 For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd.
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” - Revelations 7
11 But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them. 12 Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.
The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come.
It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets,
as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name,
from the least to the greatest.
It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth.”
- Revelations 11
Message:

In or Out. With GOD or without. Light or Dark.

Observation/Promise:
There's only two places in the spiritual realm, in the light or in the dark. There's only two places we can be in, either we are in the light or in the dark.
Either you are with GOD or not. Either you belong to GOD or the devil. If you don't belong to God, you belong to the devil. There's no such thing as in between. Either you love GOD or hate Him. If you love the world and everything this world offers, then you do not love GOD. If you do not fear GOD, you will be afraid of something else. Why would you be in the dark where GOD is not there when being in the light is so much better because GOD is on your side and you will forever be in His shelter, in His keeping, in His arms. Just as a mother looks at their child, is how GOD looks at us, with so much love and compassion. There's no losing when you are with GOD, HE will always lead His sheep into spring of life.

Command/Application:
Fear GOD, by loving Him and giving Him the highest respect and authority in your life. Let GOD lead you like a Shepherd leads His sheep. Worship and love GOD with all your heart. You can never lose when you belong to GOD. And if you fear GOD, you need not the terrors of the earth or in the days coming upon the earth for you know that GOD is Sovereign, He is always in control. And even the terrors that come upon the earth are part of His will and plan to punish the wicked and give judgement to all the works of mankind. When the judgement of the earth comes, you need not be afraid because you know that this is all part of GOD's plan. So are you in or out?

Belong to GOD Feb 23, 2014

Scripture: 1 John 1-3
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. 18 Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. 19 These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us. - 1 John 2
10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.
21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. - 1 John 3
Message:
Make it a point to belong to GOD, not in the world. 
Observation/Promise:
When you belong to GOD, you do not belong to the world. You act differently as the world acts and think differently than how the world thinks. Everything about the world is contrary to GOD's ways and His will. So do what pleases GOD and be faithful to what GOD has called you. The time is very near of the day of your Lord Yeshua's great return. So live each day as if it was your last and know GOD's will for your life, make sure to walk in His will for you so that when He returns, HE will find you always following Him and He will take you up along with His Saints in the great day of the Lord. 
Command/Application:
Cleanse yourself everyday by asking for forgiveness of Adonai Yeshua and asking for His blood to cleanse you of every sin. Everyday make it a point to be right before GOD. Do not love this world or the things of this world because it is fading away. Live for GOD, conform your heart to His will for your life, conform your life to the Word which gives life. Stand firm in the truth. Love other believers. Strip away every guilt by asking for His forgiveness and Come boldly before GOD, ask for His will to be done in your life and always be prepared for the day of His return.

This World

15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
- 1 John 2:15-17

What are the things that composes this world that we should not love it? The world can offer us happiness through the things we get from work. This world can give us happiness through riches, through the things we can buy. But whatever the world this offers is not meant to last forever. This world offers only what is temporary and that is why we should not love the world or it's temporary pleasures because it will not last. What is eternal are the most important things, and eternal things are usually things that are not physical, what we can't see. Eternal things are seen by GOD but cannot be seen by the naked eye, rather is felt in the human heart. This are the most important things that will last forever, they are also called Spiritual things.

It is important to work, to plan and to achieve, to make the best out of the one life that GOD has given us. But more than achievements, more valuable than money are things that pleases GOD which are faith, hope and love. These are the things that pleases GOD, these things you cannot find in the world but you can only find in the deep places of the heart and in the Spirit where the human eye cannot see, but can only feel with their heart. So chose now which to live for, what to desire, what you decide to do with your time on earth. For this will determine wherever we are going in the life after. This world you can't offer eternal life, only JESUS the Messiah can. What will you love then? This world that you live in for now? Or GOD who gave you life, offers you eternal life and even more!
