BAPTIZED INTO JESUS'S DEATH PART 2(sub-title WHAT IS THE TAKEAWAY?)


                           WHAT IS THE TAKEAWAY?



                  What is the takeaway on this subject? 1. figurative torcher-stake, and 2. figurative Death.  However what will one torcher be, and what kind of death? This is strictly up to the individual.  Your case obviously is going to be different from the next one. I can only relate to the feeling I went through.  Not going to lie to you, and tell you that you are not going to want to do some kind of violent act to stop the inevitability of what is about to transpire. Just remember this: "YELLED PLACE TOTHE WRATH, VENGENCE IS MINE I SHELL REPAY, SAYS JEHOVAH!"  Then things will work out to your everlasting benefit.


                        MY FIRST THOUGHTS



                    The temptation to do violence to stop what I could clearly see was coming was almost unbearable. I just knew I was not going to make it through this situation, without doing a homicide. However as I said before, I paused for a time and meditated on the issues at hand, and finally, in my mind's eye, I found myself in the possible future in a maximum security prison for the criminally insane, arguing with Denzel Washington, because he did not want to play me in the Criminal Minds Episode Mini Series of my life as a cereal killer. because it would hurt his career to be stereotyped by portraying someone so insane.  That was the clencher for me.  It's just not worth it, being a cereal killer if you can't get Denzel to play you in the Criminal Minds Episode Mini Series of one's life as a cereal killer.   (Yes! I still got jokes!) I just sent emails and let things fall as they may.

 

 THE ONLY COMFORT I HAD AT THE TIME WAS A PROVERB


                  ""The end of a matter is better than its beginning So I was in a race to get to the end of the matter, without becoming a murderer.  It was not easy.  They were so single-minded about proving their lies about me, and had reason to believe, they turned some of my closest friends into some of their flying monkeys, by offering them a bribe.  The whole situation makes me appreciate how Jesus endured his torture because he had more than 12 legions of angels at his command that he could have called on to rescue him from that hour, but he did not.



              THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER


             Eccl; 12: 13. 14 states:  "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God+ and keep his commandments,+ for this is the whole obligation of man.+ 14 For the true God will judge every deed, including every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad.+"

BAPTIZED INTO JESUS'S DEATH(sub-title "Is it only for the ones , that will rule in heaven, with Jesus?")

 

                   BAPTIZED INTO JESUS'S DEATH


           One might say!  "You are joking with me, we are not going to have to experience any such a thing?" "We are not going to be nailed to a torcher stake and people will be spreading all kinds of lies about me!" "I will not have to be able to take that?"  A reasonable response.  However, would that response be practical and true?  All things being equal, I would be in agreement, but if I had not witnessed it myself, or rather experienced it for myself, I would have not believed it either.


                             THINGS ARE NOT EQUAL


              Things are not equal because we, like Jesus, stand up for what is right. Other people that don't share our beliefs, will band together against us to accomplish a given goal, which would require us being put out of their way.  My torcher-stake, caused me my marriage.  Now one might, be saying If you have been put on a stake, why are you not dead, and who is typing on this blog?  Good question, and yes it is not a literal torcher stake I am referring to, but a figurative                                 

 IF IT HAPPENED TO JESUS, IT WILL HAPPEN TO US

               If we truly are one of Jesus's followers, we are going to experience injustices from unbelievers and even so-called family members, especially if money is involved, and people believe that the love of money is wrong, but to some, only unless it is not a boat load of money we are talking about.  Regardless of the matter, it is very unpleasant and very painful.


                        SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE


                         Luke 12:49-53 states:  “I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lit? 50 

Indeed, I have a baptism+ with which to be baptized, and how I am distressed until it is finished!+ 51 Do you think I came to give peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.+ 52 For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”+  To get the full gist of this reference, one needs to read the entire chapter of Luke chapter 12, to keep it in context.  There is a big picture involved.


                     BIG PICTURE IN A NUTSHELL

                     I will say this, the big picture in a nutshell, is that some people are on Satan's side on purpose, or by default. If we are truly on God's side.  When it happens to you, you are not going to like it. When it happened to me, I did not want to stand for it.  My thought:  "I will come down off of this stake, take these nails out of my hands and feet, and put both of my bloody feet up someone's behind!!"  However, I paused for a time. and meditated on the issue, but I didn't understand until I watched the movie about Jesus being put to death, from the time from the crown of thorns to the nailing on the stake, my face was streaming with tears, and it would not stop.  Then I reflected on everything I had gone through.  His final words still ring in my ears: "IT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED!" Word!


                                IN CONCLUSION

                  The dividing line is clear, between the sheep, and the goats: Malachi 3:16-18 states: At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him+

 for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on* his name.+

17 “And they will be mine,”+ says Jehovah of armies, “in the day when I produce a special property.*+ I will show them compassion, just as a man shows compassion to his son who serves him.+ 18 And you will again see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person,+ between one serving God and one not serving him.”

TRUE LOVE OR TRUE LUST, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE(Sub-title; "To love, or Lust?")

                                         BEFORE ONE ANSWERS 

           Before one can answer that question truthfully, one must remember that time and unforeseen occurrences, befall us all. (Eccl. 9:11) There was a certain man, that was unfortunately, and against his will, cruelly separated from his Wife,  and eventually was divorced by her, all because of a misunderstanding, and insane jealousy.  In time he found himself looking for love in all the wrong places.

                                THE FIRST ONE

          Suddenly from out of the blue, an interesting woman, just appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.  They talk, video call/ chat, and low and behold, the girl in the video chat, and in the pictures, she had sent before, matched.  After much drama, between them, even though, almost was a perfect mirror, of true love, they parted company, for a while.  Through much trial and error, He finally finds a good environment, to find true love.  However, before he can make the connection, which he feels would be the woman of his dreams, the other girl reconnects with him.

                                  THE TRIANGLE

          Without hesitation, he accepted her back into his heart.  Quickly though, he noticed that her behavior was much more intense than before, although she did video chat with him, he was so curious.  When he did, he thought he was going to find dirt, that would allow him to just let her go, but to his surprise, he found info, that made him even more intrigued by her, by that time the girl that seemed more right for him had connected with him.

                     THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS

           On the one hand, the girl of his dreams is a million miles away, and very needy at present.  However, on the other hand, the other girl turned out to be an ex-porn star, and using an alias.  However, that is when he realized how irresistible she was to him.  In time he came to his senses and realized, that whatever way he would choose it would be a no-brainer.  If he chose the Christian sister, it would be a positive no-brainer, but if the other one, a negative no-brainer, because he knew he would have to be out of his mind to choose her.

                                    IN CONCLUSION

          In conclusion, he decided to tell the girl of his dreams about the situation, and the conversations, between them, really started to escalate into a beautiful Christian romance, to the glory of Jehovah.  The other girl though, he started on a quest, to embrace her as one of his future Christian sisters, always keeping in mind that he needs to guard his heart because he needs to not underestimate how irresistible she is to him.  Which way would you choose?  Before you answer that in your heart, reflect on this scripture;1 PET. 5:8  Word!

A world free from Tears of Pain, but of Joy! (Sub-title; "When Evil is taken Away from the Earth"

   


            "When Evil is taken Away from the Earth"

                What does it all mean?  Where do we all fit into this plan?  Who will survive this blessed event?

The world is at its darkest hour in world history.  Mankind in general, is morally far removed from the righteous standing intended from our start in the Garden of Eden.  racial, and national barriers are even more complicated by social and gender issues.  How did things get so far removed?  How can such a world, be transformed into the Paradise it should be?

Revelation 20:1-3, states: "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss+

 and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the original serpent,+ who is the Devil+ and Satan,+ and bound him for 1,000 years. And he hurled him into the abyss+

 and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this, he must be released for a little while.+"




            Removing the root cause, of Tears, and Pain!

           Yes! That is Jehovah's game plan, for turning things around, and it will be final!

Revelation 21:3,4 states: 'With that, I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.+

 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,+ and death will be no more,+ neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.+

 The former things have passed away.” 





           The Former things have Passed Away

          Here is where we come into the picture!  Each and every one of us must take a stand on the right stand of the universal issue.  There are no alternative pathways.  The decision is simple, we either are for the devil, or we are for Jehovah.  No other factions.  This seemingly worsening, but never changing for the-better world, is approaching a grand climax.  Soon, this prophecy will be fulfilled, as stated in Revelation 7:9,10: "After this, I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,*

+ standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes;+ and there were palm branches in their hands.+ 10 And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne,+

 and to the Lamb.”+"

         A Progressive Change is going to start Soon

A series of events are going to take place soon to signal the end of the world as we know it.  Events leading up to it, have already started. Jesus spoke about a great tribulation, which has never happened and never will again.  Jesus' words a Luke 21:25-27 state: "Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26 People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 27 And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+"


                                   Conclusion

          In conclusion, this will start the final events of this world on this side of the war called Armageddon.  The events will happen just as Jesus said, one thing after another until it is over.  (Matthew chapter. 24)There will be no time to second guess the decision we have already made up to this point.  We all need to choose sides now before it is too late if we want to be a part of the coming "New World Society".

MINDING SPIRIT OVER THE FLESH (Subtitle; Power of the Spirit!)

                   Minding the spirit over minding the flesh!?

Well first, why so important?  Why do I even care, since I mentioned in my last post, that I have provoked the devil to attack and destroy my marriage?  One must make sacrifices to make everlasting life.  Believe me, everlasting life, is more than well worth it, and then some.  I have no sympathy for ones that are in opposition to me, for I well know that it’s because they make money, or work for ones that make bank, ($$$) off all the things associated with the underworld.  The few readers that come to this blog, will hardly hurt their livelihood!

      Why so important, though?  Well, if one that reads from this blog, doesn’t remember anything from this blog, one will do themselves credit, to remember this:  Jehovah’s holy spirit is very powerful.  Ones who mind the spirit and keep themselves on guard by reading and studying his word daily, especially the ones in the full-time services, are getting a for taste, of how the new world will be.  Contrary to popular belief, everlasting life is far from being boring.  Even now, those who engage in full-time service no doubt experience countless numbers of precious moments in time.  Such moments in time where 15 minutes can contain an eternity or blessings of spiritual joy.

        Why do I care so much against such odds?  Having experienced such moments in time, I know how important it is that we resist the fallen flesh.  Fight against it!  A war against it!  Only if we take a firm stand on Jehovah’s side in this way, can God keep us filled with his powerful holy spirit, to experience those precious moments in time, and have great joy as we walk with him through this dark system of things, shedding Devine light on everyone they meet.  Word!

In conclusion: Malachi 3:10 States:  Bring the entire tithe*

 into the storehouse,+ so that there may be food in my house;+ and test me out, please, in this regard,” Jehovah of armies says, “to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens+ and pour out* on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking.”

THE MINDING OF THE FLESH, BRINGS FORTH DEATH, BUT THE MINDING OF THE SPIRIT, BRINGS LIFE(Sub-title; Life everlasting)

 Romans 8:1-9 states:

8 Therefore, those in union with Christ Jesus have no condemnation.+ For the law of the spirit that gives life in union with Christ Jesus has set you free+ from the law of sin and of death. What the Law was incapable of doing+ because it was weak+ through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son+ in the likeness of sinful flesh+ and concerning sin, condemning sin in the flesh, so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us+ who walk, not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.+ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,+ but those who live according to the spirit, on the things of the spirit.+ For setting the mind on the flesh means death,+ but setting the mind on the spirit means life and peace;+ because setting the mind on the flesh means enmity with God,+ for it is not in subjection to the law of God, nor, in fact, can it be. So those who are in harmony with the flesh cannot please God.

However, you are in harmony, not with the flesh, but with the spirit,+ if God’s spirit truly dwells in you. But if anyone does not have Christ’s spirit, this person does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in union with you,+ the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If, now, the spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead+ will also make your mortal bodies alive+ through his spirit that resides in you.


  In light of these verses,  one has to face a cold reality!  I started this blog, thinking it was not going to be too difficult to persuade one to break free from porn addiction.  However, I never considered the fact that some might have gone beyond viewing the images to living or participating in pornographic acts.  No doubt, that will make it more difficult to break free, but not impossible!  Sorry, I can't offer any advice in that matter, my addiction never advanced that far, before I found God's word, but with any addiction, one must be willing to try.  Recently, I had to live with a relative with such a lifestyle and he thinks something is wrong with me, for not wanting to take advantage of as many females and enjoy the pleasers of them, in every way.  However, he claims to be a God-fearing man.  In the promotion of true love over lust, I will respectfully wait until I get another wife.  Giving free rain to fleshly desires can lead only to destruction.

   More recently, because of exposing the devil's hand in corrupting people to indulging our selves in the sins of the flesh, Satan incited some of my own relatives to attack and destroy my own marriage, and nearly destroying my faith in God as well, because, in order to stop them from destroying my marriage, I was very tempted to commit murder.  However, through much soul-searching, and prayer, decided to just send emails to try to reason with them, to no avail.  It's a no-brainer that I'm better off alone than locked up in jail for murder, 3 counts thereof!

   One that is granted everlasting life, wakes up one day in a peaceful new world, where such injustices will never exist anymore.  True love will cover the earth.  No one will be using one's body in the wrong way.  God's command to be fruitful and become many, and fill the earth will be on its way to its proper fulfillment, but only with righteous humans.  In conclusion:  Genesis 1:27, 28 states:


 27 And God went on to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.+ 28 Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth+ and subdue it,+ and have in subjection+ the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.”

Word!
