LETS MAKE A DEAL

coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH

______________________________________________________________________________________________

There was a show on TV every day when i was young that was called lets make a deal, and the contestant would have to pick a door and hope to pick the right one with the grand prize.

Today the door is Jesus and that’s the door I picked because everything is there that I could ever hope or dream for, salvation, eternal life, and forever with Him.

So what is really important for the believer today in such a mixed up, crazy, and frankly insane world.

We are surrounded by fake news, fake politicians, and a fake world, so we don’t look to the world……we look to Jesus.

The word of GOD is like a treasure chest to me, it is the TRUE RICHES, PURE GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE, AND IT HAS EVERYTHING FROM MILK TO MEAT FOR EVERY BELIEVER FROM BABY TO MATURITY.

I find the messages to the 7 churches very interesting and out of the 7 only 2 did HE not have something against

lets take a quick look at these amazing messages to these 7 assemblies of people (the church) NO BUILDING INVOLVED.

These are things that He had against all but 2 of the churches (people of God)

YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE….HOW TO FIX.…..DO THE WORKS YOU DID PREVIOUSLY WHEN YOU FIRST KNEW THE LORD. OR ELSE ……….I WILL REMOVE YOU LAMP STAND FROM ITS PLACE, UNLESS YOU REPENT.

TOLERATING THE TEACHINGS OF BALAAM, EATING FOOD THAT WAS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS, AND PRACTICING SEXUAL VICE, AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE NICOLAITANS, CORRUPTING THE PEOPLE……..HOW TO FIX.…….REPENT……..OR ELSE……I WILL COME AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD (WORD) OF MY MOUTH.

You tolerate that woman JEZEBEL, CLAIMING TO BE A PROPHETESS, TEACHING AND LEADING ASTRAY MY SERVANTS…….HOW TO FIX…….TURN AWAY YOUR MINDS FROM CONDUCT SUCH AS HERS AND REPENT OF YOUR DOINGS……OR ELSE……PRESSING DISTRESS AND SEVERE AFFLICTION AND STRIKE HER CHILDREN DEAD.

You are suppose to be alive, but in reality you are dead……..HOW TO FIX..…..wake up, strengthen what remains and is at the point of dying, because nothing you have done has met the requirements of GOD or is perfect in his sight, and repent……..or else.……I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come.

is it over yet

You are neither cold or hot so because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth. you say I have prospered and grown wealthy, am in need of nothing…….how to fix.……..repent and  I counsel you to buy from Me gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that you may become truly rich; and white clothes [representing righteousness] to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be seen; and healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see…….or else.…..be vomited out of His mouth.

Message to Smyrna

⁸ “And to the angel (divine messenger) of the church in ^[e]Smyrna write:

“These are the words of the First and the Last [absolute Deity, the Son of God] who died and came to life [again]:

⁹ ‘I know your suffering and your poverty (but you are rich), and how you are blasphemed and slandered by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan [they are Jews only by blood, and do not believe and truly honor the God whom they claim to worship]. ¹⁰ Fear nothing that you are about to suffer. Be aware that the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested [in your faith], and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful to the point of death [if you must die for your faith], and I will give you the crown [consisting] of life. ¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will not be hurt by the second death (^[f]the lake of fire).’

Nothing was said against this church (people of GOD) and notice how RICH THEY WERE, EVEN THO IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE POOR AND SUFFERING.

Message to Philadelphia

⁷ “And to the angel (divine messenger) of the church in ^[c]Philadelphia write:

“These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He who has the key [to the house] of David, He who opens and no one will [be able to] shut, and He who shuts and no one opens:

⁸ ‘I know your deeds. See, I have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut, for you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not renounced or denied My name. ⁹ Take note, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet and make them know [without any doubt] that I have loved you.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of My endurance [My command to persevere], I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the earth.

¹¹ I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].

¹² He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will make him a ^[d]pillar in the temple of My God; he will most certainly never be put out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My [own] new name. ¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches.’

IT SEEMS TO ME WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS NOT your best life now

BUT KEEPING GODS WORD OF ENDURANCE

UNTIL NEXT TIME

ACTS 29 TODAY

COMING TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

I was talking to a sister one day and at some point in the conversation she said; its all just about the cross, but its really not just all about the cross.

Now many things were accomplished on the cross, but without the resurrection THE CROSS WOULD MEAN NOTHING.

Also tho, you cannot have a Resurrection WITHOUT A DEATH. So both events are equally important in the big picture of Gods plan for mankind.

So think of this , how many crosses do you see representing Christianity? Well they are everywhere, necklaces, T shirts, rings, pictures, tombstones, and on the top of buildings where the church meets on Sundays.

How many empty tombs do you see on necklaces, or any of the a for to mentioned things? not to many, ever wonder why?

Paul was not on trail because of the cross…..HE WAS ON TRAIL BECAUSE OF THE RESURRECTION AND HIS BELIEF IN THAT RESURRECTION.

The reason it was such a controversy was because, MANY PEOPLE SAW THE CRUCIFIXION…..THE DEATH OF JESUS.

NOBODY WAS THERE TO SEE THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, JUST THE RESULT OF THE RESURRECTION, WHEN HE SHOWED HIMSELF TO SOME PEOPLE.

THE RESURRECTION WOULD FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE TO BE TAKEN BY

FAITH

THE PHARISEES BELIEVED IN THE RESURRECTION (THAT’S WHY THEIR FAIR YOU SEE)

THE SADDUCEE’S DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION (THAT’S WHY THEIR SAD YOU SEE)

WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION THE LAST ENEMY….DEATH… WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DEFEATED, AND YOU AND I WOULD NOT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, THAT’S HOW BIG THE RESURRECTION IS.

BECAUSE HE LIVES (WAS RESURRECTED) WE SHALL LIVE TO.

JESUS IS THE WAY…..THE TRUTH….AND THE LIFE.

THANK GOD FOR THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

AND EVEN THO THE WORLD HAS TURNED THE CELEBRATION OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS INTO A BUNNY RABBIT AND LOOKING FOR EGGS, AND EVEN THO SOME OF THE CHURCH ENTERS INTO THAT DECEPTION ALSO…..……………………………………..

BUT FOR US WHO HAVE COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THE RESURRECTION IS LIFE ITSELF.

AND REMEMBER ITS NOT ABOUT A BUNNY…..ITS ABOUT BELIEVING.

ITS NOT ABOUT AN EGG….ITS ABOUT EVERLASTING LIFE.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.
