New Lockdown, Spiritual Message and Homework
Your homework for this week: It starts by reading Psalm 90 and 91.
My Spiritual Message:
Remember what Our Lord Jesus said to Pilate: You have no power or authority at all against ME...
John 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
==============================================
I would like to assure you that I joined my name and our 2 churches, to other Evangelical churches and pastors in Montreal, to send a clear letter to the PM of Quebec, concerning our churches, the freedom of worship, and his decisions...
We want to tell the whole world that there is NO POWER or authority over Jesus, Head and Body!
We are His Body on earth, and we declare with Our Lord:
Thou couldest have no power at all against me...
The PM may not answer us, or at least, he may not respond positively to us and to our requests, yet, we are doing what we can to preserve the freedom of attending our churches, and of serving & worshipping Our Lord.
=============================
But even much more, greater, and most assuredly than that:
"We put the letters sent by "Sennacherib and His Commander-in-Chief of his army" which were addressed to the King Hezekiah and Prophet Isaiah, before the Altar of God in our prayers...
We are pleading to & before the Lord ONLY: to cast away every bad Spirit which is battling against the Army of God on earth, even in this whole universe: the Army and Powers of God, who are God's Superheroes on earth, that's, His angels for sure, yet, it is rather you, me, & all of us... the Redeemed and the true Born-Again believers and servants..
And we are not expecting anything from anyone, but,
We will wait until God announces the openings... hopefully, soon.. always according to His Will, Plan & Purpose, and Desire!
====================================================================
God is good all the time, no matter what!
He sits on the Throne and rules over the whole universe.
However,
What we see or hear is just the Sad Reality of A&H (Angels & Humans = A&H), because of EVIL & SIN.
Our present reality, and life on earth, shows as if the WICKED and the SINFUL are ruling on us, the inhabitants of this earth, than us, Children of Light bringing the Lost to Him!
Evil is spread in it/earth, even in the whole universe: as we see:
a- the darkness of the 2nd heaven, which is,
b- the heaven of the stars, but unfortunately, more, the dead stars,
c- even the heaven of the extinct, empty, corrupt, filthy, lost, defunct, extant, wiped out and off, destroyed, exterminated, fallen, and dead angels, and then after, the sinful mankind!
These Fallen Angels with their chief, the Devil, Dragon, the Fallen and Fleeing Snake or the Serpent, Satan, & the Full of wickedness have contaminated Adam and Eve and their descendants...
They apparently rule over the Second dark heaven and on earth which should have been the Garden of Eden, yet, because of the Fall on Man, it became the Thorns and Thistles' Earth, or the Thohu wa Vohu (Hebrew for without form, and void, or unseen and unformed)
The only place or space where God DID NOT say, "It was good", in Genesis 1,
When He created and described the Second Day.
Wherever I announce this fact:
That God did not say "It was good" when He created, re-created or described, the space/the 2nd heaven, which we see and behold, in the second Day: Right away believers, and even pastors, start opening their Bibles to verify this fact and my announcement!
As if they never paid attention to it.
As if they all and always thought that God said "It was good" after EVERY Day in His records in Genesis 1!!!
As if I am mistaken, not them with what they think they know...
So, YES: God did NOT say "It was good", when He looked to the 2nd heaven, in the Second Day of His creation...
After every Day, He said "It was good", except on TWO days:
The Sixth Day, when He created Man, He said "It was VERY GOOD", since He put His image on us: creating Man after or in His image and His likeness, Face, Mind, Heart & Qualities, etc.
And on the Second Day: He didn't comment at all!
One important and very possible reason is because of the Fallen Angels who were cast out of the 3rd Heaven (God's heaven) down to the second heaven, and to earth & its sky which is for us the 1st heaven:
The 3rd heaven according to St Paul in II Cor. 12, is the abide of God Almighty and His Holy Angels and Saints, from which the Fallen Angels were cast out down to the 2nd heaven, so they went down and hit the whole universe with their darkness, and later on, they invaded the earth and its inhabitants with their Evil Wickedness and Sin, from the dawn of History, when Adam and Eve themselves fell against God and His Word!
We understand from Rev 12-13 that Satan and his army are fighting against Michael the Archangel and God's army, that's, the powers of Darkness against the Kingdom of Light.
===================================================================
So, where we are now, and what we see, hear, touch, understand, & witness is NOT the Established Truth of God!
So, this present life in this present universe and earth is NOT what God had intended for us!
This is Not what God had planned and predestined for us, and,
This is NOT what He desires for us.
Although it is real, but also, what we see, hear, and even touch and witness IS NOT God's Desire...
And, all of it falls in the Permission of God, which means that God desired something totally opposite or different for us...
We know from the Word that His ultimate goal from this creation and for Man specifically is rather the Eternal Life with Him, in His New Heaven and New Earth (Rev. 21-22).
Unfortunately, we all live in this illusional, although real, world.
It is real but its also an illusion.
Many if not everything in it will fade away just after the very moment of its existence.
We cannot stop it.
We cannot stop time.
We cannot stop earth from turning around itself or the sun.
We cannot stay in the same moment, good or bad.
We cannot keep our old things, clothes, cars, houses, or any of all our belongings: from decaying, deteriorating, depreciating, & decreasing in quality, essence, appearance, and quantity.
We cannot get back anything from the past, even from the moment which just left us... anything at all.
We cannot return and stay at age 20 or 30.
We cannot hold the joy and happiness in and of this world.
We cannot stop getting older and older until we lose everything, even our last breath.
And where we will go to: we will leave everything in this body and life on earth.
We cannot even take our teeth with us!!!
Check the tombs!!!
All of them except for one: Jesus' tomb...
Because He is the only One who died and resurrected three days after to stay and live forever, because He is the Source of all Light, Love and Life.
So death cannot hold Him.
And He said it very clearly to His Apostle John in Rev 1, that He is the LIVING ONE forever.
Elijah and Enoch did not face death and overcame it: they were lifted up without dying.
Several ones were resurrected in the Bible, yet, they certainly died later on, and their tombs hold their bodies, with their teeth included in the deal, except if they already lost them during their life on earth...
Only Our Lord Jesus faced death, Satan, Sin, Tomb, and Hell, defeated them all, and rose again to His eternal State which He, the Word, had with the Father before the foundation of the world (John 17:5 and 24).
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
We cannot recuperate anything, good or bad from this world...
Maybe the bad is able to stay, but not the good, in this life...
Because if our present things are able to stay for a longer time, and if our things don't leave us now, yet, sooner or later, we ourselves will leave them here ultimately, because we will certainly die and leave them, now or tomorrow!
We look to our pictures and videos: that's us, yet that's no more us!
All what we think belongs to us, will ultimately fade away and disappear.
And we discover that all of it is and was an illusion, although it is real (for us).
Whatever we touch or even hold will either leave us, or we will leave it/them.
ONLY God knows the end of the story from its beginning... and nothing, nothing at all, occurs without the following essential & important limits:
1) His Will according to His Plan and Purpose:
Without any exception, all what He decided from eternity to eternity to happen will happen. Nothing without any exception will be able to change His Plan and Purpose:
- Like Creating the World,
- Redeeming and Saving the Lost who repent and believe in Him, in Jesus, and,
- Judging the world which will certainly occur on His time & day which He already set.
2) His will according to His Desire & Pleasure:
Before Him, He sees everything without any exception, doing, living, and being in and according to His Desire and Pleasure.
Yet, this part in His Will is related to the free wills which He had put in the Mind, Personality, Person, Soul, Spirit, Decision, Choice, & Reason (that's MPPSSDCR in abbreviation) which are given to, and exist in, His Angels and Humans.
All the rest of His creation who don't have what we, Humans & Angels (H & A), have, will always reap the consequences of OUR MPPSSDCR...
3) His will according to His Permission:
Although this is NOT what God prefers or desires for us to be & do, yet, everything else which is outside His Plan (1), or His Desire (2), then falls in His will according to His Permission:
Everything else includes everything we (A&H) may think, do, or say outside His Plan and Desire, is NOT bringing, and will NOT bring, glory to God.
He permits for these things to happen, but all the A&H will reap their consequences.
We A&H may say NO to God!
Oh, the free will given to the creatures!
How Merciful, Great, and Generous Our God is!
Yet, when we oppose His Desire for us: we will absolutely reap the consequences related to our NO!
4) Here, we discover God's Will in His Intervention(s):
When He enters History, Life and Earth, He manifests to His creatures and intervenes in everything He sees, knows, and witnesses: although everything was already done and accomplished from the Start (Heb. 4), yet, The Father and the Son, as well as the Spirit, continue to work. John 5:17:
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
God will always intervenes in His Creation, according to His Plan & Desire, as well as His Permission for things, or even everything, that may occur in Life and History.
Nothing will fall from the hands of God.
Not even one hair from our heads will fall!
He knows exactly every tiny little micro-scoping thing that happens...
Nothing fall from His attention!
He holds the whole universe and feeds the tiny little bird, and even every insect and worm... and He turns the huge planets and controls the course of every star and galaxy, without any mistake... at all.
He always intervenes to bring Order, Justice, Love, Peace, Righteousness, Perfection, and Beauty...
We will One Day enter to His Eternal and Perfect Kingdom...
It may be the coming moment...
Our life may end the next moment...
The whole universe may stop any moment!
Hope to see you all there!
I will be there!
Will you???
====================================
Anyone of us can listen and watch our sermons, studies, and preaching, online, until we meet again, by His grace and will.
I promise to keep praying for each and everyone of you and the flock of God, spend all my time in studying the Word, & preparing sermons and studies, too.
May the Lord keep us under His wings, the best, holiest, strongest, tower of refuge, stronghold of His Castle, and the most protective place and state in the whole universe, according to His many promises.
Hide and abide in Him.
