Today's Message: Rejecting God's Word
The wars, the poverty, and the false religions are just the beginning to the consequences our nations will face by Rejecting God's Word.

Our generation has witnessed many things coming true about the prophecies regarding Christ's return, our children are the ones whom will see these prophecies as history and current events taking place. The New World Order is a reality in the form of the United Nations, and every nation on the face of the earth is a member of that political body. The new world order is only the first step of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. “In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.” - Isaiah 27:1-4. "That day", is the last day of this earth age of the flesh. It is the start of the Millennium age, and the time that Christ will bring His sword on the whole earth. The slaying that is going to take place will be of the devil and those that took part in his deception.

Jesus Christ is bringing a sore or heavy and severe strong sword upon Satan on this day and that sword, is none other than the Word of God. When God spoke something it comes to pass, for God even spoke the universe into place, and in His infinite wisdom He knows every thought we think before our mouth can say the words.

God is going to say the words, and destroy Satan and all his fallen angels, and that includes all forms of evil and idolatry. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” - Revelation 12:9. Incidentally, on that day of the Lord, when Jesus Christ returns God elect, those that love the Him will sing praises to Him. The "red wine" is symbolic of God's blood that is shed for you and I. This is the day of restoration and God will put a stop to Satan's bothering our people. Even today God has given us power over Satan in Jesus name, but we have to exercise the power that we have.

The magnificent northern kingdom of Israel was enjoying great prosperity when the Lord led Isaiah to prophesy its coming captivity by Assyria. “Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.” - Isaiah 28:1-4. The people of Samaria, the capital of the large and powerful northern kingdom, were enjoying the luxury of both summer and winter homes, ivory palaces, and a wealth of gardens. They were content in their affluence and unwilling to hear the Lord's prophet. With a heavy heart, Isaiah warned that all would soon be destroyed because for many years they had rejected the Word of God and turned to idols. Samaria's beauty was likened to a fading flower that would soon disappear.

Isaiah also warned Judah that, since they had refused to live in obedience to the Covenant of God, they had made a covenant with death and would suffer Assyria's attack and eventually be destroyed by the Babylonians. They would pay the same price for their sins as the northern kingdom. “Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.  Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.” - Isaiah 28:14-18. Times and circumstances change; but all who have not received Christ as their Savior have made an eternal covenant with death whether knowingly or unknowingly. For all who have not heard the Gospel and don't possess a Bible, it is our responsibility to let them know what God has said. We can praise the Lord that while there is life, there is still hope for God will never leave nor forsake those whom have trusted Christ and are obedient to all of His Word.

Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Lord, we thank You for Your marvelous grace that was poured out in the sacrificial death of Your Son and is made available to all for Salvation from sin. You want all men and women, boys and girls to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth. We’re grateful for those You raise up to be arms of compassion and instruments of blessing to others in the body of Christ and to those still clinging to the world.  Whether we were protected from the ravages of sin or we are experiencing Your restoring grace we thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has given us strength; that He considered us faithful, appointing us to be His servants for the furtherance of the Gospel. In Jesus' Name...........Amen.

Have a wonderful day/night and enjoy the rest of your week.
God Bless You,
Christina
