The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand” (Isaiah 1:3).
Excessive pride and arrogant wisdom make people dishonour God and parents.
Only fools commit sin willingly and knowingly.
“A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of a fool” (Proverbs 26:3).
“A rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding” (Proverbs 10:13)
Without proper repentance, we cannot face God. The accuser, Satan, will accuse us and try to demean us before the Lord, as he did regarding Moses in Jude 1:9 and to the High Priest Joshua in Zechariah 3.
Joshua the High Priest was clothed with filthy garments as he stood before the Angel of the Lord, representing his sin and the stained state of his soul. Satan stood there to accuse him, pinpointing every sin, having himself been judged for the pride that originated in him. Yet, men commit sins even worse than these. Too often, we keep crucifying the Lord again.
God asked the prophet Moses to put off his shoes in order to be in His presence. That was his past sins holding on to him. If God wants even our garments to be holy, how much more will He want our souls to be?
We must live at peace with everyone, holding no grudges and forgiving those who have hurt or spoken ill of us. Let us remove all filth from our hearts. God is a righteous judge, and the judgment will be severe for those who know the Lord.
I cried unto the LORD, and He heard my cries. My tears went before Him and touched His heart.
He stretched His nail-pierced arm and wiped my tears, held my hands and raised me, and started walking with me.
Turn to the LORD in moments of grief or weakness, trusting in His personal care and restoring presence.
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress” (Psalm 107:19).
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart.
“Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you” (Jeremiah 7:23).
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you.
“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet My people have forgotten Me days without number” (Jeremiah 2:32).
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
“You will be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8).
Let us deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.
Live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.
And wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The wind blows gently. There is a subtle silence. Floral fragrance around. The sun has almost set and the dusk has begun. Judas is alone. The tempter is by his side. His weakness is known. He hears the sweet gentle voice. He lends his ears and the devil moves into him and dwells in him.
Judas, this world will know you.
Judas, every mother will talk about you.
Judas, your name will spread far and wide.
Judas, you will be known till the end of this world.
Judas, every writer will describe you.
Judas, eyes have not seen, nor ears heard the things prepared for you.
Judas, you will not lack anything.
Judas, you will be like the olive tree.
Judas, you are the candlestick, and you will sit beside me.
Judas, you will be with me eternally.
Judas, I am the king of this world, and you are my son.
Do it!
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
John Mark
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9).
My Children, the world remembers and celebrates the triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
I was so bold and courageous. I know what was ahead. Yet, I kept My peace. In strength I am the strongest, in courage I am the most courageous, in wisdom I am the wisest, in knowledge I am the Omniscient, in might and power I am the Omnipotent.
Those who were with Me did not realize that. They realized it later. They wanted me to rule over them, they wanted Me to feed them, but I came not only to rule and feed, but also to save them from the eternal torment. I came here to save the mankind and sacrificed Myself for My children.
I allowed it so as to change the law which the Jews were following and torturing My children. Yes, My children were tortured. They were tortured in Egypt and they were also tortured in Israel. I came to save them all from the terrible torment.
Yes, I am the Law Giver. I gave the law. The law was used to judge My children without mercy. I the Law Giver submitted Myself for this humiliation to save My children who were undergoing much of humiliation. Yes, I am the Saviour and beside Me there is none.
I love you My children. I came to save this world. My children I am in you. I am in your home. I have protected you. I am your Shield and Strength. I have given you My peace. I am the Victorious King and you are My children.
Be of good courage, be bold. Do all the things that I want you to do. Do not look back. Go forth and do My will. I will never forsake you for I am your Father and you are Mine. I have given you the Power and the Authority to win over the Satan and its forces. Focus on Me and I will do everything for you.
My Children, I will bless you abundantly: for I care for you. You will not lack anything. You have trusted Me. I trust you. I know you will raise My Kingdom. Be of good cheer.
The Most Holy Spirit.
With just one more visible sign, this world will know that Our LORD is coming soon.
Be vigilant, watch, and pray.
Let us not be like the foolish virgins, without oil. Only those with the oil were permitted to enter the wedding feast.
Without the Holy Anointing, how will you meet the Lord?
You can be one with the LORD only if you are filled with His Spirit.
“Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matthew 25:13).
