‭1 Corinthians 2:1-16 KJV‬

[1] And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. [2] For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [3] And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. [6] Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: [7] but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: [8] which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. [9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [16] For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Note for 2024/05/04


I see the chaos that is rising in the world, don't you? I am seeing a revolt of man, playing out in every sector of this world. Hailstones, the size of a man's hand falling; first reported in China and then I saw a report of it falling in America too. Flooding in desert places, as they give man the honor and say it is cloud seeding. What of the earthquakes and of Volcanic activity. The world is in revolt, threatening war all over. Which man can still say it is just another Saturday?


The people are making demands. The earth is shaking and the heavens are dropping her load on the surface of the Earth. Wars and rumors of war, earthquakes and flooding in diverse places. Even the sun is sending its fury to the Earth and now the Earth has become less effective to protect itself, due to a change in our magnetosphere. The magnetic poles of the earth are moving more rapidly now than ever in recorded history.


These things are in this world, it can be seen, it is being reported on everywhere. Read here in this chapter, what is of importance for the human soul, for it speaks of the mystery of Christ Jesus our Lord. It speaks of that which GOD ordained for mankind, from the beginning. Do you think the enemy would have killed our Lord if he knew that is how Jesus would defeat him?


Friends, right now, especially if a person is aware of all that is going on here on the Earth, living by sight alone would send one into a state of fear. As an example, in just the last two days, Makron of France has decided to place 300 nuclear weapons all over Europe to defend against Russia. A European military force is being trained, and the number that I heard is about 800 000. Do you want to know who is not surprised about all of this? Those of us that know Bible prophecy. And in the Spirit, we know the time of our redemption is drawing near. Yes, indeed, we may very well be that generation that will see the coming return of our Lord and Savior.


This means that we are living in a high alert moment in the history of mankind. So, never before has there been a moment for us living now that bears a greater opportunity to take the matter of faith more seriously than now. In fact, for so much of what the church of Christ warned about, now we see it being fulfilled. It is playing out right in front of us. What is wisdom but the sound application of the knowledge we have? But what if the knowledge we have is based on lies, does that not render wisdom to foolishness? Then we have become like the blind, because of seeing things as they are not. Do you walk outside and stand there when it is hailing? Can you convince yourself that it is something else, while the hailstones strike your body?


Friends, I am not calling for people to stand in fear. I am simply stating what is happening outside. As much as saying, "my child, do not go outside, it is hailing now." Do not go out of your faith now. Do not test the ways of this world now, when the world is clearly in the process of a judgment of some sort. Can you see the clouds that bring the storm to you coming over the horizon?


So if this is another World War breaking forth, there have been two before. But, that does not mean we walk outside with an umbrella for the rain when we know it is something more than rain that is coming.


Just recently we spoke of all the chaos in the streets, even of how the world is divided between two poles now. Why are people in America fighting one another in their own streets, for something that is happening on the other side of the Earth? Did this not happen in so many countries? Yes, even here in mine.


A house divided against itself shall not stand. That, Christ said too. Can you see the battle lines being formed in every country? Who then draws those lines and has it not been forewarned?


This chapter we just read, speaks of what is really important, as much as Ephesians 6 declares. Have you not heard of the burning of church buildings? Those who have indignation with the Holy Covenant are on the move. And the moving force is a spiritual force that motivates people right across the globe.


Are you ready? For now we will see the manifestations of evil in a way we have never seen before. As far as night time goes, don't you know the sun has set already? Yes, it is time to light the lamp, for night is setting in and the preparation is of the Spiritual kind. Covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, we are marked for the Passover. Faith is required now. Stand in the full armor of GOD. Don't go into the street in revolt, remain in the inner room and pray to GOD. Stand in the separation from this world unto the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that is our Father in Heaven. Stand in Christ Jesus, filled with The Holy Spirit. It only takes a prayer of repentance to receive your Salvation covering. And even if this night should pass, would you then not be covered for the next?


Read verse 5 here again: do not let your faith stand in the wisdom of men, stand in the Power of GOD. Remember the 3 that were thrown into the fire, how there were witnessed 4 inside the furnace and how they came out unscathed, while those who threw them in were burned alive. Remember how the Angel of the Lord has protected His people by acting on their behalf. The Word of GOD is full of assurance that GOD is the One Who saves us.


Then you will know the peace of our Lord.


Shalom

‭Psalm 139:11-12 KJV‬

[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me. [12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

‭Psalm 139:1-24 KJV‬

[1] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. [2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. [3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. [4] For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. [5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thine hand upon me. [6]  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. [7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. [9]  If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. [11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me. [12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. [13] For thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. [15] My substance was not hid from thee, When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. [16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; And in thy book all my members were written, Which in continuance were fashioned, When as yet there was none of them. [17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! [18]  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. [19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. [20] For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take thy name in vain. [21] Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? [22] I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. [23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Confirmation Scripture

(From a brother in the Faith)


‭Psalm 2:1-12 KJV‬

[1] Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, And cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

“Coincidence” is not a “kosher” word, neither is the word, “lucky.” Those words do not describe events for the man or woman of faith.
