Our Confidence

We are like a plane preparing for landing. But this plane is not a Boeing or Airbus. The landing is not on a runway. We are approaching the Day of Rapture. The Day the Messiah calls up his precious ones to go home. The Day He gathers up His remnants for the wedding supper of the Lamb of God.

The Festivals of the LORD

We start this story in the book of Nehemia, the governor of Jerusalem and Judah who returned from Susa in Persian with the permission of the king. He returned to Jerusalem after receiving the report of the terrible condition of the city of Jerusalem and the temple of the LORD. Having obtained the kings favour and release to return to Jerusalem, he set about repairing the walls of Jerusalem, a city that had been burned down and plundered by Nebuchadnezzar.

Ezra was the chief priest in those days. When the walls of Jerusalem were repaired and its gates set in place and when all the people had settled in their towns, they found time to assemble before the LORD and read the Book of the Law of Moses. After this reading Ezra, Nehemia and the other teachers, scribes and Levites declared: Do not mourn! Later, they celebrated the feast of tabernacles also called the Feast of Booths that in Hebrew is called Sukkot. I call it the Feast of Joy.

This feast followed the Day of Atonement in the sequence of appointed festivals listed in Leviticus23. Christ is called the Word of God. He is called the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is all things. Therefore we must ask: what is the significance of this Feast of Joy in the plans of God?

I find my answer in the prophetic timeline of scripture. As the last feast and festival; as a festival of joy, it points to a day of great rejoicing, the day all mourning will end for the people of God. It points to the successful transit through the valley of the shadow of death (Psalms 23:4). Is it not a foretelling of the celebration of the wedding supper of the Lamb of God (Revelation 19: 6-7)? Is it not about the time when mourning and crying will be banished (Revelation 21:4)? Will it not be that Day when a joyful procession will enter Zion, the city of God (Isaiah 35:10, 51:11)?

This is what the word of God says in Isaiah 61:1-3

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord 's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

For those who grieve. For those in despair. For those enveloped by the heavy and dark spirit of depression. For those swept by waves of loneliness. For those in chains and snares set by satan. For those who mourn for loss of loved ones. For those whose souls are downcast when they look back at their lives. For those whose lives have lost meaning. They live on the edge of the precipice, the edge of hell almost ready to end their miserable lives. It was for you that He came. It is your victory that the Feast of Joy celebrates. He came to bind up the broken hearted. He sent his shepherds to do exactly that (Ezekiel 34:4) though they have failed. Christ is the chief Shepherd. He is the Repairer of broken hearts. He is the Comforter of lonely souls. He is the whisper of encouragement amongst the fires and the earthquakes and the great storms of life.

He came to proclaim freedom to the captives: those caught up in bondage to sexual immorality, bondage to alcohol, bondage to worship of the devil, bondage to murder and violent robbery. Those who are married to satan and sacrifice human lives to their god. Those whose tongues cannot rebuke sin. Those who speak lies and practice deception. Those who practice magic and bewitch their neighbours. He came for you to release you and set you free. If you accept Him, He comes to comfort you and make His enemies His footstool (Psalm 110:1).

Therefore, we shall celebrate. We shall drink water from the deep well of His salvation (Isaiah 12: 2 - 3 & 5 - 6). There shall be tremendous rejoicing. All creation will jubilate - even the hills and the trees sing and clap their hands! Surely it must be a great day!

But why is this? What makes the day great? At the beginning Adam disobeyed God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The LORD had promised: "for when you eat from it you will certainly die." (Genesis 2: 17). The formular was simple: The wages of sin is death. You sin, you die. It is an immutable law of God. 

Because we are all sinners, we are condemned to die. It was this realization that caused Josiah to tear his clothes and weep and mourn before the LORD. The truth of the human condition was revealed to him when they read the Book of the Law (2 Kings 22: 3-20). What then must we do? What is the way out of this cul-de-sac. It seems like a hopeless situation. But wait a moment - did Isaiah not point the way out in Isaiah 9:6? A child will be born who will restore the kingdom of God. The kingdom of righteousness. The kingdom of holiness. The eternal kingdom.

The devil deceived Adam and Eve but the LORD would not allow the enemy to gain victory. Victory belongs to the LORD. Therefore, He says: I will take away your punishment! (Zephaniah 3: 14-15). I will justify, forgive, pardon, acquit, absolve, liberate, discharge, vindicate, defend, exonerate, exculpate, release, exempt and pass over you. It is written that the zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Confidence from Faith

He sent His only begotten son to die in our place. He sacrificed His own son for us. The blood of Christ became the blood of atonement. Because of love - an inscrutable love. An infinitely deep love. A mysterious love. After all, He is love. Can we ever grasp the depth of His commitment? Can we ever repay for that epic sacrifice? Who is like the LORD? Who can compare? Who can sacrifice his son for the sake of a friend?

Because of the holy and precious blood of the Lamb of God that was shed at Calvary, we can do every day what the high priests could do only once a year and even then with great care and preparation. We can enter into the Most Holy place. We can draw near to His seat of mercy. We can be sprinkled in the holy blood of the Lamb and cleansed for ever of sin. It is written that He will remember our sins no more (Hebrews 10: 14 - 23; Romans 3:25; Ephesians 3:12 & 2:11-13). We are forgiven through faith in Christ, therefore, we have assurance; we have complete confidence; we know it to be true what the LORD has promised.

He has never failed. He will never fail. Accordingly, He says, that righteous ones shall live by faith. And He is not pleased by those who shrink back; those who backslide; those who are complacent, casual, halfhearted, lukewarm, headless, mindless, perfunctory. He cannot be pleased by those who treat the blood of Christ with contempt.

Faith

Faith means to believe God. Abraham believed God and it is credited to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3; James 2:23). The promises of God are "Yes" in Christ. They are yes for those who are in Christ. Yes for those who submit to His will. Yes for those who, like Isaiah, say: I will go. Send me. For those who are ready to do exploits for Yehovah. For those who are hidden in Christ: They look like Him, act like Him, talk like Him. For these the promises are Yes. The promises hold true always for those who love Him. They will say "Amen". Because they are one with their God. There is complete agreement.
He has established His promises and prepared His plans. The Messiah is coming to snatch away those who are His. By faith we know that His promises are our reality. Abraham lived in a tent because he knew there was a better country, a brand new city that the LORD had made ready. He preferred to wait for that better place. He believed God and lived by that faith.

Now the LORD wants to know: Do you believe Him and do you live by that faith? Do you believe the Messiah is coming for His sheep and do you live by this belief? Have you prepared to receive Him? Will you hear the voice of the archangel? Will you discern the times and the seasons? Will you serve His people? Will you flee from idolatry and immorality and put on the garment of righteousness that is Christ?

Have you believed His blessings of Deuteronomy 28: 1 - 14 ? Then you must also believe His curses for those who rebel and reject Him. He has a plan for them too. It is not a pleasant plan.
To live by faith is to walk on the promises of God knowing them to be true even though we have not seem them fulfilled. Abraham did not live to see Christ born but he knew that the Messiah will be from his bloodline. It was his reality.

Assurance

But for those who hold on to faith, there is complete assurance because of the unquestionable faithfulness of our LORD. He will never leave you nor forsake you. That was the promise to Joshua (Deuteronomy 31: 6 - 8, Joshua 1:5). He is not pleased when we forsake Him (Judges 10: 13; 1 Chronicles28:9). He is not pleased at all.

It is that assurance that becomes the bedrock of our faith. He never changes. Even Balaam, despite his wickedness knew this about the LORD: He is not a man that He should lie; he is not a son of man that he should change His mind (Numbers 23: 19).  He never forsakes those who seek Him (Psalms 9:10).

Christ did His part to prepare a holy church. Blameless. Without wrinkle. Without stain. Without blemish. Washed in that most holy blood. There is nothing pending. He left for heaven having completed the work. The rest is up to us. The rest is easy. The rest is accepting His promises, His salvation, His redemption, His washing, His release, His forgiveness, His pardon, His acquittal. Fully discharged, fully absolved. Ready for eternity but only if we accept His will. We accept Him as LORD. We submit to the King of kings, the LORD of lords and the Overseer and the Captain of our souls. The great Shepherd. The Ancient of Days. The great Amen. The Rock and the chief Cornerstone of the temple of God.

He never changes. His promises remain "Yes" and "Amen". Therefore we have full assurance. Therefore, we have complete confidence. Walk tall. You are a servant of the most holy God. Stand firm against the enemies of God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Reclaim your inheritance of peace and joy and faith.

Amen. May the LORD bless you.

Pull of Gravity

When we keep away from the LORD. When we do not fast, the pull of spiritual gravity draws us downwards to the world. The only way to float up to heaven is to disconnect from flesh by way of fasting. When we fast, we slice off the spiritual loads attached to us, those hindrances, those hurdles, those obstacles, encumbrances, barriers, obstructions, impediments and  restraints. We gain the freedom to execute a true relocation - from the realm of darkness to the real of light. We submit ourselves to the upward currents of the Spirit of the Living God. We surrender to the cleansing and purification of His fire.

Without revelation and without pursuing the way of wisdom, life becomes a continuing battle between this ominous gravity and the summons of the creator. Our attachments to this world become our tethering, our bondage, our imprisonment. But the instrument of freedom is now revealed. This vessel that is anchored to the mud can be released and anchored on the true Rock, the anchor of the soul! We must sail to a new sanctuary, a Safe Harbor. It is a safe refuge, the eternal destiny of those who belong to the LORD of LORDs. 

The instruments of bondage have names. But their sounds are not pleasant, not musical or artistic. They describe the chains of imprisonment like fleshly lust, uncontrolled bodily passions, unrestrained negative emotions, gluttony, sexual immorality, depravity, hatred, jealousy, bitterness, gossip, deception, false witness, prostitution, theft, pride and arrogance, rebellion, witchcraft, the love of money, contempt for fellow human beings, exploitation, corruption, false prophesy, devil worship, submission to satan, idolatry, heedlessness, selfishness, cruelty, drunkenness, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, incest, cannibalism and every other evil that we fall prey to while on this earth. These are the chains of the slave-master and he who tells you it is OK to have sex outside marriage is a messenger of satan. Those who tell you it's fine to rape your own children are devil worshipers.Those who promote the doctrine of "equality" as the means to advance homosexuality and lesbianism are truly lucifer's errand boys. The only objective of all this war is to mock God and bring shame to the KING OF KINGS. It is the war of all wars and the LORD must win. Make sure you are on the side of victory. In spiritual war, there are no prisoners of war, only winners and losers. Be a winner. Be on the side of Christ Jesus.

To be continued...

Sanctifying Garment

To sanctify is to set apart as or declare holy; consecrate; free from sin; purify. I would add, 'to make righteous' because the scripture says: Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness[Genesis 15:6]. 

Nakedness began to be associated with shame after sin came into this world in the garden of Aden. Shame, then became a covering, a garment, whose fabric is woven with sin. This story will unfold in the next few days. For the sake of giving a preview, we put on the garment of shame starting in Eden, but there is a way back to the garment of praise, the rich garment, the glorious garment, the garment of grace, the attire of honor and dignity: the wedding gown without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 

The only perfect article from earth that can be presented before Jehovah is the precious and holy blood of Christ. Therefore, a return to the beginning means to be clothed and covered by that most precious blood. To be enclosed by grace, to become an object and beneficiary of the LORD's mercy.


It is a return that is executed by repentance to reconcile and reconnect with the Father who had evicted us from His household. We were rejected and alienated - a fatherless generation. But now, we have returned to Him by virtue of His compassion and mercy, by the way of repentance and forgiveness. We are able to re-enter the Garden where the God of All Creation, Maker of Heaven and Earth, walks with His children.


Surely it is a place of rest, a peaceful locality, a land of joy criss-crossed by the most clear water of the River of the Water of Life.


All that is left is to walk through scripture and unfold this mystery. I can only introduce this story. The true teller provides so much more that you really must go to him and obtain the details.

Who is Listening to Jesus is LORD Radio? The 3D Report

Visit the live 3D map. The entire world, even little islands in the pacific are listening keenly to the Messenger of the LORD. The Solomon Islands, Tierra del Fuego, Palau, Ulaanbaatar, Norilsky, Reykjavik, Winterton, Fairbanks, Manaus, Belize City, Spanish Wells, Fort-de-france, Great Falls... 

Why? Because the Messiah is coming and those who BELONG to HIM are getting ready. They are preparing. 

Do you belong to HIM? Are you preparing? If the furthest corners of the earth have heard the call to PREPARE, why are you waiting? For what or whom are you waiting? Do you expect another messenger? Is the one the LORD has sent inadequate? 


Things are very serious. Preparing for rapture is like preparing to die only 1,000 times worse because you prepare to meet with the KING OF KINGS, the JUDGE OF JUDGES, the LORD OF LORDS whose court is the final court. HIS decision can never be appealed in all eternity. Which is simpler, to listen and change or to despise and continue with a purposeless existence? No one desires hell for another but each chooses with the knowledge that the LORD did not create hell for humans but for that rebel called satan. But when men and women reject the call to holiness and righteousness from the LORD, they essentially become enjoined to satan and to his fate. 

Listen to the live messages at this site.

A 2D image of the globe is seen below showing the location of people and congregations listening to Jesus is LORD Radio, the only radio fully dedicated to preparing the sheep of Christ for the coming of the Messiah:

Once again, things are very serious. More serious than at any other time in human history. The ONE act that will settle the question of whether there is a God in heaven is about to take place. Once it's done, there will be a most severe distress that no one has ever seen. TRUTH will be joy for those who accepted Him but a horrendous searing agony for the rebellious ones. Human imagination can not fully comprehend the coming events. For this reason, I say: Heed the warning. Do not ask too many questions now. Ask later after you have escaped the coming wrath.

The LORD bless you for reading this far. May it not be in vain and may this LORD visit you and warn you Himself. Keep your spiritual "phone" on and fully charged...

The Horizon of God

The LORD of All Creation established the heavens, He drew the line between darkness and light. His word says:
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.[Job 26:10]

I was there when he set the heavens in place,    when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep [Proverbs 8:27]

Then much later He says to Nicodemus:
“Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”[John 3:3]

Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to Spirit. Therefore the eternal Man is the Spirit-filled Man. The one born of the Spirit. But we learn that unless flesh dies, Spirit can not arise. 

And hence the LORD's horizon. The line between darkness and light. The transition point. The plane of transformation. The portal. The escape route. 


It is well-marked in the brightest of colours. You can't miss it if you open your eyes. Surely you see it! Surely it is right before your eyes.

You whose abode is darkness; seek light!
You who lives in the mire of flesh; Seek Spirit!
You who are captive of world; Seek freedom

This is the Way. It is the Highway to the Paradise of God
It is the Hidden Gate.
It is the Narrow Way
It is the Door of the Ark
It is the Curtain into the Most Holy.

It is the Horizon of God established in the Most Precious Blood of the Lamb of God. Raised up on the cross. Marking the Way back into the Paradise of God. The Hope of all creation. The exceedingly great Love of God. The only One who truly cared for you because He spent His all; He gave His one and only Son, the most precious first-born to die on the horrid cross, to be crushed beyond human likeness, to suffer beyond description. All for my sake.

Fill every heart with thanksgiving.

May the Almighty God El Shaddai be worshiped and praised. 
There is no other God like you. 

Thank You LORD for the blood and the cross. 
Thank You LORD for forgiving me.
Thank You LORD for accepting me back.
I thank You now and forever.
I worship You now and forever. 
I serve You today and forever.

Amen!
