 THE 4 HORSEMEN

White Horse…the Conquering King. Red Horse...war. Black Horse...famine. Pale Green Horse...death. The Lord on His white horse, defeating sin and death has come to the earth, suffered death for our salvation, died, rose again ascended back to heaven and sending His Holy Spirit to live His life in all His followers, this Light of Christ transforming hearts and minds, delivering people from sin and death, exposes the values presumptions of this present world and its deceptions.

That Light exposes the spiritual war (RED) at work in the human heart leading to eternal death, the emptiness (FAMINE) presented as necessary and nourishing, and the decay (PALE GREEN) of mind, will and emotions, the dissolution of life as the world presumes it to be.

The coming of the Lord Jesus and the empowering His people by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit exposes the spiritual war, the spiritual famine, and the spiritual death that the world lives in reveres and will fight against the advancing Kingdom of God to “preserve”.

Jesus Christ alone is the antidote to this spiritual war, spiritual famine and spiritual death now reigning on the earth. Come to Him and be given peace the world can never give, satisfaction the world does not possess, and life eternal that even physical death can never alter.

 James 1:5-8 " If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.   But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.   Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.   Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." We must remember that God is never upset that we don't know or understand how to live out the New Life He has given to us. That Life is now being lived out in us by the Holy Spirit. This Life of the Kingdom is radically different that the life we are accustomed to living in concert with the world. One of the main marks of a true follower of Jesus Christ is that there is change and ongoing change in us by the Holy Spirit. We do not remain as we once were. The Holy Spirit is conforming us to the Image o...

 HEBREWS 10:1-2, 10-18 "The sacrifices under that system ( the Old Covenant) were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.   If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.   For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.  Under the Old Covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.   But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.   There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.   For by that one offering He forever m...

 WORRY AND PRIDE Tim Keller said that it takes pride to worry. If we have made a mental or emotional determination about how our lives should run, what should happen and how things will play out and then things do not go as planned, we get upset. We decide what life should look like, trusting our own perspective and understanding, our own pride. We become worried due to the fact that our calculations have not proved to be accurate. Now what!? King Solomon, the world's wisest man stated, "Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and don't rely or lean on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge that Him ( that He is the Lord of life, that He is in control and will lead those who believe, trust and rely on Him for all of life's details) and He will direct your path." Humility says, "Well, that's not what I expected, but then I don't see as God sees. I believe He has my life in hand, and He is directing things even if I can't understand them...
