 BEWARE

It's not saints who have gone before who hear our prayers. It's not Mary who bore the Messiah who answers our cries. That is because they cannot save a soul. That is not their purpose. Examples of believing God and taking Him at His Word, yes; Hebrews chapter 11 makes that clear. But remember, there was no other person who ever walked the earth that was sinless save Jesus Christ of Nazaeth, the Holy One of Israel.

No prophet, no Apostle, no pastor or teacher, and none of those who followed Jesus Christ during His Incarnate mission of redemption were sinless, not even His earthly Mother, Mary. Jesus Christ died and rose again to redeem even His earthly Mother. For ALL had sinned and fallen short of the Lord's glory and the Lord, God the Father, laid on Jesus the inequity of us all on the cross. There He died our deserved death so that, by the Holy Spirit, we might be born from above, forgiven of all our sin and rebellion.
Salvation come from the Holy Trinity alone. God alone saves. He alone redeems, heals, delivers, restores and transforms through the finished work of Jesus Christ alone and in the Holy Spirit's omnipotent power alone, the power of Resurrection. Only God saves. No mere mortal being in heaven or on earth can save. The Church Triumphant, those believers in heaven neither hear nor answer our prayers. They cannot save us to any degree for they are not God. Call on Jesus Christ. God has given us direct access to His Presence in Jesus' Name. Draw near to God alone. He is the One who answers prayer. He alone can save you.

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
