Hebrews 1:1-14 KJV

[1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. [5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. [7] And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, And his ministers a flame of fire. [8] But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. [9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. [10] And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the works of thine hands: [11] They shall perish; but thou remainest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; [12] And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, And they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail. [13] But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool? [14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

This chapter is focused on Christ Jesus, The Son of GOD; and compared with the angels and the messengers of GOD. The Author takes, from the words of the prophets, the words from Psalms and from the testimony of the disciples and tells us what was testified of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Power and Authority of Christ is confessed, but do not miss the last verse of this chapter. Who shall be heirs of salvation? Who are these ministering spirits that will minister unto us, who stand in complete faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD at His Right Hand?

Though the language is old to us today, it does relay precisely what we ought to know and believe. Christ was not just another man who was born and died. No, He is the Only Begotten Son of GOD, and His Church is His Betrothed Bride. So shall we be co-heirs, with the Lord. So are we grafted into the Family of GOD. So are we counted as the elite saints of GOD, by what Christ has done for us. So, do we wait as the ten virgins He spoke of, for His return, making sure we have enough oil for our lamps.

Friends, today we can read about Christ from the Testimony of the early believers, the Disciples of Christ and His Apostles. See them then as the New Testament Prophets, sharing their testimonies of The Word of GOD. My question to you today is what is your testimony of Christ? We have read how we are sanctified by the Holy Spirit of GOD, and who believed and who were sanctified, that The Father and the Son will make their abode in them. Do you believe and what is your testimony, as you are united with the Word of GOD, in the Holy Spirit of GOD, indwelling you? Can we continue as we did, before we were saved by Christ? How can we continue in unrighteousness? What is your testimony, have you recorded it somehow, for the edification of the Church of Christ? What has GOD done for you, where did He find you and how did He lift you up and save you from who you were? Each of us has an account, don't we? I suppose, the better question to answer, is what is salvation to you? Is it just of what we eat?

Now, I have often written before about my testimony, piece by piece, little by little it was shared, as a personal account of what GOD has done for me. Yes, I was saved from physical death, healed from broken bones; but the real salvation is of the inner man. Now the rage is gone, in which I once stood, my mind has come to order, from the scattered and lost place I was found in. Protected from the forces of evil working in companionship of those that serve fallen angels and demonic spirits. What I have lost in this world, I have gained more by the Spirit, for now, the peace of GOD indwells with me. The Comforter, within, to be consulted in every moment I may have to face. While oppressed in this world, comforted within, by the promises of GOD, which is made manifest according to God's timing. So, with the psalmist I say, wait on the LORD. Be still and know that He is GOD. Cast your cares upon the LORD and Trust in His will for you. For GOD is Love, He is Spirit and yes, He is Holy. Hallelujah!

In this rapid world of chaos and destruction, find a quiet moment, to come into the presence of The Lord your God Almighty in the Name of Jesus Christ His Son. Wait on Him. How long have you made GOD wait, while you were figuring things out for yourself, moving by your own will in things, not hearing GOD'S Will in the matter? Can you wait on Him now? Can you make an admission of your guilt, can you declare your sin to Him; can you repent of it and walk on with Him, sinning no more? Can you Trust in Him to bring you through all your troubles, leave your heartaches with Him to avenge and forgive those that harmed you? Can you leave matters in His hands, and continue by His instruction? Do you accept that He has His own purpose for everything that you have seen?

As believers and followers of Christ, we cannot go forth in the ways of this fallen world, my friends. No! We walk in the way of Christ, guided by His Words. We turn the cheek, we give what is requested, we do not hold grudges, but forgive as we were forgiven. We help were we can, praying as we go, to have the strength, knowledge and wisdom to meet the needs of others. We ourselves are upheld by the mercy and grace of our Lord and Savior. He meets us in our need, and we do not call our wants needs. We trust that as a Loving Father, GOD will not give us that which might destroy us. We Trust GOD'S judgment and make our wants known to Him, for His consideration. But, we also Trust, that He will not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from all evil, that our souls may be saved in Jesus Christ forever.

Do not view this world as the masses do, for they do not know GOD. They trust not in GOD, and they do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are following the prince of this dark kingdom here on earth. Bring yourself in alignment with the Will of GOD, that is my advice, which can be found in the Word of GOD. So again, I beg you, read your Bible.

Shalom

From Psalms

Psalm 92:1-15 KJV

[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, [3] Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; Upon the harp with a solemn sound. [4] For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. [5] O LORD, how great are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep. [6] A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this. [7] When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever: [8] But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. [9] For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. [10] But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. [11] Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. [12] The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be fat and flourishing; [15] To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock, And there is no unrighteousness in him.

On Prayer

Luke 18:1-8 KJV

[1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. [4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; [5] yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. [6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? [8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
