God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Tuesday 28 February 2012

Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 28 February 2012"

Today's Bible Verse: 1 John 2:22-23 "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son,  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."

The term "antichrist" refers to anyone usurping the place of Christ or opposing Christ.  But the title of "the Antichrist" identifies a person who will emerges during the Great Tribulation once the church is ruptured, to lead Satan's strategy here on earth.

The term "antichrist" is used five times in the New Testament and only by John, although the "Antichrist" of the Great Tribulation is identified by many other names and titles in Scripture: "that wicked" (2 Thessalonians 2:8); "the son of perdition" (2 Thessalonians 2:3); "the willful king" (Daniel 11:36).

He is chiefly depicted in the Scriptures as an immensely powerful policial leader.  He apparently heads the revised Roman Empire, but will not be revealed until after the Rapture of the Church (2 Thessalonians 2:3).  In the past overzealous teachers of prophecy have identified several principle world leaders with the Antichrist and they have all been wrong.

Christian should not only be aware of this tendency and avoid it, they should also recognize that the spirit of the antichrist is already at work in this world.  Literally, Satan is the great deceiver and liar.  He is the epitome of a lying deceiver who claims to represent Christianity, but who accords Jesus Christ less than His full due as Savior and co-equal partner with the Father.  These should be sobering words for modern understanding of religion, and Christianity, which deny Christ His Scriptural status by making Him less than fully divine.

Denying the deity of Jesus is the same as denying the Father and the Son.  In John's epistles, denying that Jesus is the Christ includes denying that He came in the flesh.  A person CANNOT worship God while DENYING the full deity and full humanity of Jesus.

Today's Hymn: "My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less"

My hope is build on nothing less, than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus Name
On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we come into the last days before Your Second Coming, may we as Christians be aware of the sheep in the wolves clothing that try to lure us away from the teachings of Your Word.  May the Holy Spirit open our eyes to what is truly going on around us, and may we place our complete trust in You, as You guide and protect us each and every day.  May we not listen to those who say Christ is coming today or tomorrow or in the weeks to come, because we have been told in Your Word that only the Father knows when You are coming back to receive us unto Yourself.  For we as Christians know, that when You come back again, the WHOLE WORLD will see coming in the clouds, in all Your Power and Glory, and the world will then indeed know that You are Christ, the Son of the Living God.   Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Because God is righteous, the divine sonship of Christians is revealed through righteous living, which includes love of fellow Christians and belief in the deity of Jesus."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today.  Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ.  Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior.  Pray for God's Peace on Jerusalem and for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel.  Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."

"I love those that love Me, And those that seek Me diligently will find Me." Proverbs 8:17 (Wow what a promise from Our God)

Jesus Reigns and He is ALWAYS in CONTROL
Your Sister in Christ,
