Sisters & Brothers In Messiah/The Anointed One/Christ,
As we enter into February 2021, let us never forget where we came from, Who we are & Whose we are! We should not be reacting to the situations and circumstances happening in the world around us, being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, but responding to The King of The Kingdom Of Heaven, The Constant One, Who changes not and has no shadow of darkness In Him. As His Ambassadors, You and I are The Light Of The World, called into The Spiritual Battlefield, focused on His Vision to Go Into ALL The World with The Love of God & The Good News of Jesus/Yeshua/Salvation, led by The Holy Spirit, Only saying and doing what He Calls us to, praying for those in authority, whether we voted them into office or not. I chose this topic of discussion, because we are presently 'In The Moment,' for such a time as this and the only way we will enter into The Promised Land is by doing it God's Way. The following Scripture Verses are a charge to all of us who believe, because His Word Is Spirit & Life, God Breathed and most relevent for reflection and response in these days and hours that we're living, moving and having our being in. Overall they have everything to do with how we treat one another, in spite of our differences, titles and positions in the world or the church. Do good diligence in reading, meditating and responding to God's Word for us in this time and season!
King David
Amplified Bible
So that he should live on eternally, That he should never see the pit (grave) and undergo decay. - Psalm 49:9
King Artaxerxes
Nehemia said unto the king, Let the king live for ever …
The
book of Daniel, I believe is the most important for us to understand in
this day and age, more so than The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, as given
to The Apostle John, mostly because Daniel is dealing with the here and
now, where the last Book of The Bible certainly shows us the things to
come and it's not all the sweet by and by. How did Daniel and his three
cohorts deal with their being brought into bondage in a land that was
clearly not their home and prosper? These humble servants were great men
of faith who lived their life unto God and their fellow man, regardless
of the way things looked and became more than conquerors, overcomers,
letting their light shine ever brighter, dispelling the darkness
surrounding them. Loving and praying for our enemies is not just a
theological doctrine, but a lifestyle all believers are to live.
Realizing we could never accomplish such a feat in our own strength, not
by our own might or power, we must live our life, here and now, In The
Fruit Of The Spirit, according to Galatians 5. Let us take a good long
look at the following three references of Biblical Kings and really see
what God is showing us about how we should respect and treat one another
today.
In the book of Daniel we find in chapter 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12 the words ‘live for ever’ mentioned as follows,
King Nebuchadnezzar
King Belshazzar
King Darius
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
Are our royals still greeted like this today?
Queen Elizabeth
At the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the Abbey Church of St. Peter, Westminster, on the second day of June, 1953 after homage and alliance was pledged to the queen, the drums beat, and the trumpets sounded, and all the people shouted, crying out:
From the above we can tell that the
greeting ‘live for ever’ has been used throughout history to
honour kings and queens as is in line with the promise made in scripture
that those who obey God may live for ever.
The Bible also tells us about his Son, Jesus, who taught “sayings of everlasting life.”—John 6:67-69.
Jesus’ ransom sacrifice opened the way for humans to live forever in Paradise on earth. * (Psalm 37:29)
– 1 John 5:11
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him
who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has
passed out of death into life."
– John 5:24
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
– John 3:16
"I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats
of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will
give for the life of the world is My flesh."
– John 6:51
"And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us
understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who
is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal
life."
– 1 John 5:20
"The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!"
– Psalm 22:26
"The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will be forever."
– Psalm 37:18
"Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
– Psalm 23:6
"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who
believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and
believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?""
– John 11:25-26
"Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which
endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on
Him the Father, God, has set His seal."
– John 6:27
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I
give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will
snatch them out of My hand."
– John 10:27-28
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of
water springing up to eternal life.
– John 4:14
For those of us who are followers of Jesus, every one of the above promises are Yes and Amen In Him, but have we fogotten The One Who Called us to be fishers of men, those men and women who do not yet know Him, enemies of God, those who are 'at war with Him?' The Bible says:
1 Corinthians 6:11Amplified Bible
11 And
such were some of you [before you believed]. But you were washed [by
the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for
God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the
source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior].
Exodus 7:11 AMP
Then
Pharaoh called for the wise men [skilled in magic and omens] and the
sorcerers [skilled in witchcraft], and they also, these magicians
(soothsayer-priests) of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts and
enchantments.
You
and I are Called of God to set the captives free! That is why we were
born into His Kingdom and are now Children Of The Most High, to take
back what the enemy has stolen, to bring to newness of life, all who are
dead in their sins and trespasses and to be repairers of the breach,
between Heaven and Earth, Praying for His Kingdom to come and His Will
to be done (finished/complete) on Earth, as It Is In The Heavenlies. If
You & I do not do what is good and right, who will? Each of us must
do our part, every gift, talent and ability is in The Body Of Christ
and like Queen Esther, every confessing believer on planet Earth that is
alive today is commissioned, anointed, empowered and enabled, for he
has given us everything we need to live our life unto Him! On the
evening of Thursday, February 25, Purim (Hebrew: "Lots"; English:
Feast of Lots) begins and ends in the evening of Friday, February 26, so
let us come together as One (Hear Oh Israel [Deut. 6:1-6]), be The
Voice Of One, crying in the wilderness (in this dry and weary land),
proclaiming Liberty (Deliverance & Freedom) and Justice
(Justification by Faith In The Name Above All, Jesus) for ALL, so that
we will not only survive, but thrive in this present world of darkness
and enter into His Marvelous Light. Arise & Shine for Your Light
Has Come and The Glory Of The Lord Is Risen Upon YOU! Why are we
striving in this life for things we already have into Eternity? Jesus
went to prepare a place for us, Yes, but He wishes that None would
perish and that All would come to Repentance and enter into His Father's
House. We have become and been made Kings, Queens and Priests, for
such a time as this, to bring others who do not yet know their Purposes
Into The Fullness Of God. Therefore, take courage, be strong In The
Lord, In The Power Of His Might and stand In Faith & Holy Boldness
like Queen Esther did.
Esther 4:14 AMP
For
if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for
the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will
perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows
whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this
very purpose]?”
Those who are faithful and endure to the end, have a future and a hope, the hope that will not disappoint us! God is on The Thone and is working all things together for our good, for those who love Him and are called according to His Purposes. You and I are on The Highway Of Holiness/Heaven, no lion can go there, no weapon formed against us, which is against God shall prosper, but we shall, as our souls prosper. Go on and Call to God in Prayer, Ask Him and he Will Answer You. The Wellspring Of Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life is about to break forth in our day, just as the floods came 'in the times of Noah.' He Will Open your eyes, ears, heart, mind, soul, spirit & strength + even in your weakness, He Will Show His Strength. His Rivers Of Living Water are about to flow like never before, because He Has Saved The Best for last! Hear what The Holy Spirit Of God Is Saying to The Church/Ekklesia/The Called Out Ones Today, Listen and be aware, know the time and the season in which we are living, prepare ye The Way Of The Lord, for His Second Coming is Imminent!
"Listen
carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will
you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.
"Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring
forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the
wilderness, Rivers in the desert.
