Without Jesus you can't have God

To stand in God's presence you have to be spotless and flawless because He Himself is spotless and flawless. After all He has no darkness in Him. Even the Seraphim which is an elite ranking of angel tends to cover their faces with their wings whenever they are in the presence of God.

The blood of Jesus Christ has redeemed us so we can come in the presence of God. Jesus Christ is our only advocate before the Father when we make the mistake of sin. Jesus Christ is the person who knew what is was like to be a man on earth and to be God the Son in Heaven. So in turn Jesus Christ is the only person who can bridge the gap between mankind and God the Father. Christ took on the nature of sin and overcame it. Christ took the keys of hell from Satan. Christ triumphed over the world with perfection. Christ was with God since the beginning. Thus only Jesus Christ is the only one who is worthy.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5: 12, 13

When you pray to God, you are setting a petition before the Lord's throne. And obviously we as humans are no one to go before God in such a manner, but this is why I am thankful for Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ the Son is the only one worthy to go as our advocate before the Father. It is only through Him that we are able to set our prayers and petitions before the Lord's holy throne. So do you see now why it is impossible to go before God without going through Jesus Christ the Son first? Jesus Christ is the only one who is pure and because of Jesus Christ He is the only one who can hide our scars of sin. So when we pray we have to make sure to go through Jesus Christ first. That's why many times you hear the phrase “Through the love of the Son Jesus Christ, Amen” at the end of prayers.

Imagine the Sun in our solar system. The radiation given off from the Sun is so intense that if we were to be only several million miles from it we would get incinerated. Now how long do you think we would last in God's presence? So you can imagine that without the Son Christ being our very bridge to God, we would never get anywhere near God the Father.

Most of all without Jesus Christ we would not be able to overcome sin our life either. Christ set the example of perfection and we must follow it. He has said, be as perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. He wouldn't have said to follow such a path if it was impossible. The only way we can overcome sin in our life is by focusing on Jesus Christ. When we busy ourself by focusing on Him and the path He showed us, we no longer give eye to our sin. Just believing in Him is not enough for even demons believe Jesus Christ is Lord. We must follow Him and obey Him also.

Everybody is talking about future wars to come about and many people dying through all these upcoming horrible events. Some people are talking about making preparations and precautions to avoid disaster. But through making all these preparations and moving around, we forgot that we should first make our preparations with GOD! Even if the Rapture or World War were to happen next week, what if you were to die today? What if God were take your life tomorrow in a car accident or other circumstance, would you have been ready then. The Lord said wear the Armor of God at ALL TIMES. This means to be ready at all times because you never know when your end will come. And even people who make every safety measure in the world to ensure their survival, do they not know that God's judgment will be on everyman everywhere? The location where someone lives does not matter either, for God sees what's inside our hearts. We can live in on a battlefield or in Fort Knox, but God in the end will decide on who lives or dies. Foolish is a man who puts his trust in other things over God. Look at hurricane Katrina. Thousands died there and it wasn't even the time of the Lord's return to earth then. It just happened suddenly and virtually no one was prepared for that. We can hide from bombs, tidal waves, and forest fires, but we can't hide from God's judgment. Our only safety from God's judgment hand is Jesus Christ!

Do you remember how the Hebrews of Egypt were spared from having their firstborns dying? What they did was place lambs blood over their doors so that the angel of death would pass over them. This is what having Jesus Christ is like. When you place His blood over your soul and spirit, then that angel or death...that judgment of God will pass over you. Everyone stands before the Lord one day. Whether you stand before Him naked or whether you stand before Him in a white garment depends on the King Jesus. So don't trust in shelters, food stocks, or money surpluses for your salvation in trying times. You first and foremost protection comes from the arisen Son, Lord Jesus. A man who has Jesus Christ is a blessed man, because the Lord reforms Him, increases Him, improves Him and makes Him perfect. Strive for the Lord always.

The Christian and our Goal part 2: Harvest Praying

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 9: 37,38

My brethren in Christ across the world. You must keep praying that the Lord raise up more harvesters to reap the great bounty unto Heaven's basket. For God wants to hear the righteous prayer. The harvest is still very great and the number of harvesters are very few. But trust that the Lord thy God will and is answering our prayers. For Jesus Christ Himself has ordered us to pray for these things.

Several times before I have prayed that God through Jesus Christ raise up more harvesters so that billions of people across the world get saved through Christ. Then recently I got a message from a young man, who at only the age of 10, gave me his testimony of how he was beginning his journey with Jesus Christ. And right there I realized that God has been listening to my prayers. By seeing this young man's testimony, God was showing me that He has already started raising up harvesters for His Kingdom.

So brethren we must continue to pray and never cease. Not just praying for harvesters but also praying for everything Christ has commanded us to petition before God the Father. With faith and trust in Him God is answering our prayers. Do not lack faith or fill yourself with disbelief for that only messes things up. God wants to see you trust Him fully and then many miracles happen.

As for us current harvesters who have already been raised up b the Lord, there are always things we can do. There is always something we can do to glorify the Lord and point our fellow man in His direction. For example; American and European Christians are blessed to have easy access to the internet. The internet can be a very useful tool in spreading the gospel of God very rapidly and efficiently. There is a myriad of ways we can use the internet in spreading the Lord's words. Some of us have websites or networks where we can upload the Bible or tell others our testimony of how we came to Christ. I personally use all my old websites to share electronic Bibles in multi-languages. There are many things to do so always ask the Lord what task He has for you.

Remember the prophets of old had it harder to spread the Lord's gospel. Back then men like the John the Baptist and Simon Peter had to travel from land to land. And what we have now at the push of a button, they only had the speed of a horse and rider. So let us not take the tools God has given us for granted and use them for evil things. Let's use every instrument we have as a means to glorify God.

Some of our brethren may not have many resources at their disposal but ask the Lord what you can do for Him. Also pray that He uses you as one of the tools of His kingdom. There is one underlying commandment we must carry out and that is:

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16: 15

Always carry faith in your heart too my brethren. Every time we fight this spiritual battle we fight it for the glory of the Lord which is in Heaven. In addition when we fight the battle, we fight it with the faith that God is going to save everyone we witness or pray to. We fight this spiritual battle with the faith that every testimony we share, every Bible we give someone, every writing of the Lord we make, every human we intercede in prayer for, or every street we preach on will help a person to become saved. And thus another individual is reaped unto the harvest basket of Heaven.

We don't want to be the only people in the Heaven. We want billions of people across the world to join us in the safety of the Lord's Kingdom and singing praises to the King of Kings with us. God Himself wants everyman to repent and follow Him. The flesh is nothing, the spirit is everything. Even when a someone dies their spirit lives on. Let us continue to work and pray so that many spirits become safe in the Lord's arms. Always know that you have a spiritual battle to fight and a spiritual war to win.

Poem Meditation: Testify of God's Glory

Remember brethren the words of our King, be a witness of God and sing!
For as the Father have loved Him so has He loved us
We are harvesters of Heaven, so let us all take of the Lord's Leaven
so that all mankind can come unto repentance to God
Testify to others of the Lord, and let your spirit and heart be on accord
to those things which the Lord has set us aside to do
Be obedient and follow, so that we will take up the cross each morrow
For a true disciple is one who works for Christ fervently
Faith the size of grain of seed, can cause the tallest mountain to bleed
For if you believeth in the Father, believe also in the Son Christ
Of God's truth be not afraid to speak, go and testify that blessed are the meek
For a lampstand is not to be hid but rather be lit brightly outside
To even those brethren who stutter, please do not be afraid to utter
that which is the beauty and perfection of the Lord our God
For even Moses slurred his speech, but he was still not afraid to teach
that even Pharaoh should acknowledge the Lord who is greater
Now let us all raise our hands to beseech, for none are out of His reach
For the King of the Jews sacrificed His blood for all mankind
Go now and spread God's glory, and share to others His amazing story
For the light of God can reach even the darkest of regions

Obedience is Hard

I was praying earlier today and I realized how easy it was for me to simply believe in God. As Christians I'm sure many of us have moved way past the level of believing whether God exists or not. To us and myself, God is more real than the very fingers on our hands. But we all understand that just believing in God is NOT good enough....we also have to OBEY Him! We believe in God: very good, but then again, so what? The demons in hell also believe in God and fear Him too! As a matter of fact, now that I think of it, the demons may be a bit more spiritually wiser than mankind because they also know that Jesus Christ is Lord. Can we say the same thing about many humans on earth? So believing in God is not enough, we must obey and follow God also.

Obedience to the Lord doesn't always tend to be easy either. While I was praying I asked God to make obeying Him as easy as believing in Him, but a wave suddenly hit me. I then realized Obedience to the Lord is often hard. Jesus Christ, the Son of God Himself, died by being obedient to God until the end. Jesus Christ's entire life was very difficult as He didn't even have a home during His ministry. Most of the apostles themselves also died by being obedient to Christ until the end. I honestly don't think that just believing in Christ the Son and God the Father is enough anymore. The Lord Himself says that the path to righteousness and God is a narrow path that few find. It hurts me too because sometimes I think if I am always following this path. It is written that He who endures until the END shall be saved. Becoming saved doesn't mean just uttering a few words of acceptance and then going about your own passions. Becoming saved really means that you have to glorify the Lord with your life and not cease until the day you die. When you are under the Lord, you no longer live for yourself...you live for God.

One way of getting better at obedience to God is always focusing on Christ. Keep your eyes fixed towards Jesus and you will improve in all ways. That is how we can overcome sin and our own hearts is by focusing everything on Jesus Christ. The higher we climb the ladder, the more well trained in obedience to the Lord we will get. Think of troops in the military. When they first enter, they have trouble shouldering their arms and marching. But as time goes on they get better and more disciplined. It's like that with the Lord. The more we follow God and become obedient to Him, the more stronger and obedient we become.

Sometimes I wonder if I lose everything and I'm broken, homeless, dirty, torn, and frail; will I still glorify God? Will I still be obedient even until the long painful end? We must all think about this as well. Talk is cheap, so let's not all proudly say we'll glorify God always and then deny Him 3 times before the rooster crows. Instead let us do these things by action. Let's be obedient to God everyday and take up our cross and follow the Lord as He commanded.

My fellow Americans

My fellow Americans, I deeply love you and this nation. We have all strove together for 200 years and many more brethren in this nation has joined us from across the seas. Some have endured war from this nation's feeble ages and others have endured hardships from their journey to this land America. Whoever we are in this nation I pray one thing; that we remember Jesus Christ is Lord.

This nation has been blessed with great strength and abundance. After all we are in a land where food is plentiful, our pockets are filled, and our resources seem nearly endless. But let us never forget that all this comes from the Lord's blessings. Let us remember the Lord thy God less we lose it all. For the Lord has the power to make the richman meek and the meek a richman. With the Lord thy God's right hand He raises empires and with His left hand, he crushes them. Nothing is out of His boundaries and control. Thus let us in America humble ourselves before the King of Heaven. The Lord who has strove with us for 200 years.

Our beloved nation has seemed to have forgotten it's roots. Now the very name of God and His commandments are under attack by the stone in our hearts. From our hardened hearts rose a darkened flower that sprung to life evils detestable to the Lord. There was a time that the Lord smiled upon this nation and brought it out of depression, wars, and collapse. At one time we were mighty in the Word of God and spread His word and commandments across the entire globe. We once used our vast resources to spread God's glory in many fantastic ways. But now we are sinking in vices. Where we once were a big distributer of the Lord's Word, we have now become a big distributer of pornography. We who have not stood in the gap against these things are also guilty like me. But what has made the Lord frown upon our actions the greatest is the destruction of marriage, the introduction of homosexuality en mass, and the murder of the innocent through abortion.

My beloved countrymen; abortion should not have any place in this nation. For years the United States has liberated races and nations from bondage and slavery. From the blacks in the south all the way to the Jews in Europe. With the sacrifice of our sons, the United States has blocked the Godless ideals of communism from spreading over Europe. Even after we stood victorious over foes, we still outstretched our hand in mercy to them whom we once fought. From doing things such as reconstructing the south after the Civil War to rebuilding Japan and dropping food over Germany during the 1940s, the United States showed it's honor. How is it then, my beloved American countrymen, that we go from doing that to killing our own children in abortion clinics? How is it we went from feeding countless starving nations to spreading the practice of medical infanticide overseas? Is it because some Godless radio personality or TV celebrity has told us it is the “right to choice”? Why have we listened to their claims of us being evil and judgmental by trying to protect the rights of children? Why have thrown away the Word of God and started listening to rich celebrities and corrupt politicians? Did not even the drafted constitutions of our nation tell us if our leaders got too corrupt we should fight back? So why is it, my brave countrymen, that we have chosen to sit back and go with the flow instead of rightfully voicing our disgust at the acts of abortion and moral decay? As Americans we were founded on the ideals of rejecting unrighteousness and that which is vile. As Americans we were founded on the ideals of resisting evil, yet now we have let evil overtake us and kill our children in the womb. I am NOT calling for anarchy and rioting, but rather we should not sit idly by and let all this happen.

My fellow Americans, do not reject the Word of God. For His Word goes for eternity and should stick whether the current generation is Godless or not. His Word should not be rejected simply because it is currently unpopular in modern day Pop-culture. His Word should not be rejected simply because 1000 Godless men in high media have told us believing in God is too primitive. Does a real American follow a group of 100 other people or does a real American walk on his own two feet?

Did you not know that even our founding fathers who were theists, agnostics, and Freemasons, still nevertheless drafted our foundations with God's 10 Commandments? Today most of us are not even Freemasons or part of an ungodly secret society. So how is it that many of us hate and despise the Lord's Word! Why is this so? How is it they, who had connections with heathen organizations, still found truth and validity in God's Word? Yet we now work we do everything to rebuke God's holy Word! We work hard to make movies that disrespect Jesus Christ, we listen to celebrities who blaspheme the Lord, we press laws that remove the 10 commandments. My fellow countrymen, we have been deceived by the enemy. And now the enemy is trying to lure us into destruction by tearing us away from God.

God loves this nation. When people say “Godbless America” it is not just a blank expression. God has blessed us in this nation with very much. But now it is up to America to chose what it will be like. Will America be like king Ramses of Egypt, or will it be like the Prodigal Son? Ramses of Egypt rejected the requests of the Lord given to Moses. In turn because of Ramses and his stubbornness, 10 plagues of destruction was bought down on Egypt. Because Ramses refused to repent and just give into the Lord God of Moses, his kingdom got destroyed with 1 plague after the other. Even when one plague hit Ramses, he still was given a chance to repent...but he didn't. Look at us and what happened in this country. When September 11th occurred, we were still given the chance to repent after that. When hurricane Katrina occurred, God still gave us a chance to repent. How many plagues or destructions do we have left before it is too late? Instead of being foolish like Ramses, let us be wise like the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal Son squandered his fortune and prestige that he inherited from his father. Eventually the Prodigal Son lost everything and became like a shagged homeless man. When the Prodigal Son realized his current situation, he decided it was time to return to his father. When his father saw his son return to him, he ran out to embrace him and help him. This is what God wants to do to us. God has seen us get hit by September 11th, Hurricane Katrina, and the current economic slump. This is a sign we should return to God now! Let us, America, be like the Prodigal Son and return to our first love, Jesus Christ. Let us return to God and beg for His embrace once again. Let us turn away from such evils like abortion or homosexual marriage. Let us in America become like God's Prodigal Son again. The son who wisely returns unto his father.

200 years ago a bunch of kids with blisters on their feet had to fight a vast army with rifles and tomahawks. But they had more than just musketry weapons with them. Many of those kids had the Lord with them as well. Because they wisely knew that in the end their muskets won't be enough. They wisely knew they needed the Spirit of God with them if they were to have any chance of victory. He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. It is not an M-16 or Remington that will ultimately buy you your freedom. It is Jesus Christ. 2000 years ago, that Man bought us and the entire human race it's freedom. The Lord bought us eternal freedom at His own sacrifice. Jesus Christ gave us all our independence against the tyrant Satan. So when we lose God, we lose a lot. God loves our nation and doesn't want to see us perish. God has saw when we gave humanitarian aid to other nations. God has saw us stabilized other nations from collapse. God has saw us love our enemies and give them aid even though they formerly warred against us. But He has also witnessed how we fell away and murdered our own children and falsely called it “a woman's right to chose”. He saw us give into the unnatural relationship of two men and falsely call it “alternative lifestyle”. God has saw us hold Him away, thus allowing evil to seep into our nation. We held Him from our schools and guns entered. We held Him from our government buildings and corruption entered. Without God's light there is only darkness. My fellow Americans, let us not desire darkness but let us kick it out by bringing back in the Lord.

The Lord is giving our beloved nation a chance. Let us do it now and once again become ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
