We read in Revelation 21:5,”And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” I pray this New Year draws you all into a much closer and deeper meaningful relationship with Lord Jesus/Yeshua.
Have you ever notice a child with a new toy, they may take it everywhere with them for a season, but eventually it grows old and is no longer new so the novelty of it fades away. Seems many of us want the daily news, but after a day it becomes old news. Unless its part of the social engineering and managed agenda, that is the mainstream media who continues to foster upon the masses with its manipulation, (which is witchcraft) to try and sway public opinion. Galatians 3:1,”O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” I suppose it comes down to the fact that a novelty still fascinates the world, even when it is fake news, or orchestrated chaos and tragedies so the shadow governments can eventually come in with its planned solutions and try and take away more freedoms.
When I was part of the entertainment industry, seemed there were those PR people who were always promoting the latest fade of the month. Whereas the musicians I often found myself attracted to play with, the ones I greatly admired were those who played skillfully and had humble spirits. Many were considered virtuosos and they all knew as good as they were their was much they could improve upon like exploring an unending universe. On the other side you had those who learned 3 guitar chords, had their dream of stardom and were launched into the lime light with all the mirrors, smoke and lights one could afford. They often made a flash and then faded away from the spot light to be replaced by the next sensation. Seemed many of them would not be able to stand on their own without all the backstage manipulation effects that made them appear such a sensation. I have heard it said before that within the music industry, lip-syncing is sort of like picking your nose; no one wants to admit they do it and they definitely don’t want to get caught doing it in public, but at some point, clearly most have. Considering television did not have the capacity in the early stages of capturing proper audio it was not uncommon for musicians to have to rely on pre-recorded tracks for their “live performances”, but it was also a much needed and necessary skill to learn as a performer to not spoil the illusion by letting the audience know you’re actually doing this. I can recall several times I played live on some television show and the sound we created in the studio was quite delightful to me, unfortunately the sound that went out on the airwaves was different, it was thin and not mixed properly as it should have been. I have played in concerts and ministered with some very well known musicians and realised two things. One you are only as good as the sound man makes you and two they will not usually allow you to have the same amount of volume, power and lights as the featured act in an attempt to make the headliner appear bigger then life. In Christian events just like the secular acts there are times the sound man will also use a form of psychological manipulation by adding applause tracks to encourage a live audience to applaud as well as using the impressions of a crowds singing to encourage those sing along moments.
We now have a history of a number of artist that were distracted somehow over the last few years so they miss their cue, or some sort of malfunction occurred where the song starts too early or somehow got stuck and kept repeating like what happened where it exposed the group Milli Vanilli as lip syncing in front of an audience of 80.000 people. Whatever the reason, there have been numerous moments in music history where it’s painfully obvious an artist is lip-syncing. You know it must be hard to dance some chorography and sing at the same time whilst working for the illuminati. But even knowing this information people want to be entertained, so they are willing to keep paying high prices to be fooled by the latest and newest fads regardless. Sadly this sort of mind set has infiltrated the modern church and so many today think a successful church is one that has become popular. One that entertains the people that tickles their ears by telling them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Let us not forget that Jesus/Yeshua flipped over the money changers tables and chased the merchants off using a whip.
Matthew 4:17,” From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Christ demands for us to repent is basically equal, and almost synonymous with, His command, “You must be born again”(John 3:7) that we exhibit Christ-exalting behaviour inside and out. Just as we know today from scientific research that our hearts have over 40.000 neurons and acts like a mini brain, we read in Matthew 6:21,”For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
So here we are now in 2017 and we are watching the ancient prophesies unfolding before us. How different might we react if we only knew the day and hour of the rapture and of Christ’s eminent return? Would we still allow ourselves to stress out over relationships, events and circumstances in this world? Would we still allow those unclean spirits manifesting in others to effect our peace and joy in Christ? In other words, you can not control all the events and circumstances in this world, but you can learn to control how you respond to them all as a child of God. Keeping in mind the Lord clearly tells us in Hebrews 12:14,” Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Would it really be worth holding on to a record of wrongs and past mistakes by anyone who has offended you and miss seeing the Lord? Learning to forgive others and yourself does not mean you condone the offences, rather it means you enter into the Lord’s holiness and are released from those places the enemy has held you captive. Forgiving others so the Lord can forgive you means the Lord can heal and restore you as well. Matthew 18:35,”So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.”
Personally I think the New Year is always a time where people make resolutions they won’t keep. But there are several things we can keep as spirit filled born again true believers, however, it actually means we give them away by offering them back to the one who gave them to us. We can offer back to the Lord our treasures, our talents, and our time, considering we are even dependant on him for every breath we take. We read in Psalm 90:12,” So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Our treasures, our talents, and our time ought to be given back in generous portions if we really want to have blessings chase us down and overtake us. For its is written in 2 Corinthians 9:6,” But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. “So where is your real treasure hidden? Jesus/Yeshua said, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).
2 Corinthians 9:7,” Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
This mind you is not a formula that if you give something the Lord is required to give you back an increase on your investment. Truly our God owns everything and he doesn’t need your treasures and he is not short of cash no matter what the economy does down here or anywhere else. The thing is that whenever we put our money into any thing, we basically have some sort of vested interest in it then. Maybe it is some hobby where people go about collecting something they hold of great value and you can see when they talk about their collection how passionate they are about it because this is where their treasure is. Like the person who collects rare antiques, racecars or coins and that sort of thing. Maybe like the many nations that have given of their money to build CERN and help developed things like the most dangerous strangelets, not understanding in their quest to open dimensional doorways they will be fulfilling ancient biblical prophecies.
People often spend their treasures on those things that bring them some immediate pleasures and give them a dopamine rush.However the Lord Jesus/Yeshua said in Matthew 6:19,” Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”
Not everyone is called to be part of the 5 fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12) or is called and willing to go be a missionary in some other culture where you must learn other languages, and pour yourself out ministering to any one who is receptive. All the time whilst you keep praying for a break through to shattered thousands of years of darkness of the reign of Satan, and over a people who do not know the Saviour of the world and have had little to no access to the saving news of Jesus/Yeshua’s life, death and resurrection.
The thing is that you can help support those who do answer that call by sending your prayers and offerings. Because,” For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” We read in Jeremiah 17:10,” I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”
You simply can not hide anything or anywhere from the Lord as he knows your innermost secrets and he still has a good plan and purpose for your life and wants you to bare good fruit. Matthew 7:18,” A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” No matter what happens in life, always remember Papa God is not only in total control of the world, he also fears absolutely nothing the devil attempts to do or anyone else for that matter. The Lord is outside of time and space and is omniscient. He knows the day he must bring all things to closure. He does everything very precisely and mathematically correct according to His divine plans. Many see the signs of the time we now live in and must wonder are we in the last of the last days now?
The return of Christ can happen at any time He chooses.
Yes we are at a point in our history where the human race is in global danger. There are daily developments that if the prophesies in Revelations do not come to pass in near future, perhaps the technologies and the transhumanist movement will actually overreach into realms we don’t want to even consider. How much longer could things continue the way they are upon the world stage now? We are to know the signs of the times and understand the things described in the Holy Scriptures of the prophecies that will be fulfilled. We are at a point when technology, robotics and artificial intelligence, genetics, information technology and nanotechnology, are about to change humanity forever. “As in the days of Noah were so shall it be when the Lord returns.” Considering science is now experimenting with our human genome using animal and insect DNA in vaccines they administer to people. I dare say Papa God HAS to intervene in near future or His Creation might be lost to Him before another too many years could be completed.
How ever this works out we true born again spirit filled believers must remember this one thing: “You have a Saviour in Christ. As a true Christian, you have been saved from death. You have been saved from eternal punishment in hell. You have the hope that when you leave this world, you will go straightway to heaven and meet the Lord face to face along with many of your friends and loved ones. That is still one of the most important things we are to mediate on as believers and comfort each other with. Heaven is a real place and it shall be awesome. You have an almighty Saviour that has prepared a place just for you.
John 14:2 ,”In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
Matthew 25:46 – And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The Lord Jesus/Yeshua said in John 10:27,” My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Fight back overcomers, trust Papa God for every detail and stay in faith! Jesus said in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.’ I say hallelujah! Because “All”, things are possible with God! I pray the Lord’s supernatural peace, healing, provision and protection cover you always with oceans of agape love in the almighty name of Jesus/Yeshua!
