In Genesis 1:27, God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  In Genesis 2:7, the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  Many times we quote these two scriptures over and over, but how many really understand the significance of the two?  When God created man (meaning of no a gender), it was in the mind of God (the Spirit of God).   He was thinking about a new innovation, a new creation, someone He could create in the nature and essence of Himself.   In other words, He wanted to plant himself all over the world until everywhere we go people would see Him and not us.  He wanted us to represent Him.  So when God thought it was good to make man in His image, He began to shape man into a spirit living being to dominate in the earth.  Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and he lives in a physical body. (1 Thess. 23)

Because of the fallen nature of man, Adam and Eve committed high treason against God; since then, every person born into the world was born into sin.  Nothing we did of our own, but the attributes and the things we do that goes against the Word of God brings about the sin nature;  we’re thinking and doing things in a sinful way knowingly and unknowingly.

Jesus paid an awesome price when He went to the cross to die for all humanity; therefore, you don’t have to remain in a sin nature if you receive Him as your Lord and Personal Savior.  Jesus didn’t die for a certain group of people or different religions, Jesus died for the World (John 3:16) that all might be saved.  Salvation is deliverance from everything that goes against God’s word, and there is no true deliverance without Salvation.  Jesus is the Savior of the world.  He is the Corner Stone the builders rejected.  He’s the one holding every part of this world together.  He said if my people will humble themselves and pray; then He will heal the land.  Pray for what?  Pray that all men will come into repentance and into the knowledge and saving grace of Jesus Christ.   Jesus is the alpha and the omega, He’s the beginning and the end, and deliverance is in Him, not in the human knowledge of this world or mankind.

There’s no deliverance without Salvation.  Romans 10: 9-10 says,  “If thou would confess with thou mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, thou shalt be “Saved”.  For with the Heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth, confession is made unto Salvation.”  This is a twofold requirement.  You have to believe it in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and you have to open your mouth and confess it.   Believing and confessing take place by faith.  When you believe and confess, immediately an inward (spirit man) changes into the image of God’s Spirit.   There’s nothing missing and nothing broken when you have Him:  no sickness, no disease, no lack, and etc., but you must get in Him by giving Jesus your life today and allowing Him to transform your thinking with the Word of God.

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age – Mark 13:3-13New King James Version (NKJV)  ³ Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, ⁴ “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” ⁵ And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁶ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. ⁷ But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles.^[a] These are the beginnings of sorrows. ⁹ “But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought^[b] before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰ And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. ¹¹ But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate^[c] what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. ¹³ And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. No One Knows the Day or Hour – Mark 13:32-36New King James Version (NKJV) ³² “But of that day and hour no one knows (but He didn’t say you couldn’t know the season), not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³³ Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. ³⁴ It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— ³⁶ lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

Christ paid an awesome price when He went to the cross to die for all humanity; therefore, you don’t have to remain in a sin nature if you receive Him as your Lord and Personal Savior.  Jesus didn’t die for a certain group of people or different religions, Jesus died for the World (John 3:16) that all might be saved.  Salvation is deliverance from everything that goes against God’s word, and there is no true deliverance without Salvation.  Jesus is the Savior of the world.  He is the Corner Stone the builders rejected.  He’s the one holding every part of this world together.  He said if my people will humble themselves and pray; then He will heal the land.  Pray for what?  Pray that all men will come into repentance and into the knowledge and saving grace of Jesus Christ.   Jesus is the alpha and the omega, He’s the beginning and the end, and deliverance is in Him, not in the human knowledge of this world or mankind.

Rick’s Devotional

 Do You Love God

I find many things significant to Loving God in his word, for instance one thing is the bible says that God is love. The second thing is we are to Love God, the third is we are to love one another as commanded by the Lord, but we have failed on our part to do His commandments, according to the words of Jesus; in the last days the love for many people will grow cold, and I’m a living witness that He is not a liar but the absolute opposite. People have become so unloving, they really don’t care about God less more his word, and America has become the cesspool of the world; LGBT civil rights, Really? When I wake in the morning, I begin to worship the Lord in my bed, and I pray for this dying world. I know that according to God’s word things are going to continue to get worse and worse.

People have become obsessed with themselves; lovers for themselves more than for God, our children have no moral grounds to stand on because our system is so corrupt. There’s a diabolical plan in action, and people see it and think that it’s normal to be LGBT, but according to God’s standards it’s terribly wrong, Rm 1:24 and they will be turned over to a reprobate mind; So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.

They will face God’s judgment both here and the afterlife and have no part of the Kingdom of God’s love. People lie and get away with sin in the courts because God’s not there anymore, but God is the final righteous Judge, and He will set things in order. None of us are exempt from the attacks of Satan, saved or unsaved alike. I’d rather be saved and attacked knowing that my redeemer lives, than to go through hell to go hell.

I do my best to do right and keep God’s word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against Him every day now. Jesus said in Lk 21:36

Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, 35. Like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.36. Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”

Everything that Jesus said would happen is happening right now, Lk21:16-19 Even those closest to you—your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends—will betray you. They will even kill some of you. 17. And everyone will hate you because you are my followers, 18. But not a hair of your head will perish! 19. By standing firm, you will win your souls.

I think about people that I love, and I can see that some of them are already in reprobate mind-sets. They reject God’s word and follow demonic influences to destroy the very people they vowed to love. God word says 1John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?

I don’t believe that there’s much more time left to get it right, so I rededicate my life back to God every morning, I surrender for His purpose in my life so that I will be ready when He returns, and so that I will be strong enough to escape the horrors that’s coming and be able to stand before the son of God.

Without love there is no hope, without hope there is no faith, without faith it is impossible to please God.

Let’s be ready in Love (Christ)!

Let us pray, dear God please forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness according to your word. Please help me to walk in love, and the beauties of holiness, let those that are to be influenced by me to see Jesus in me, and emulate my actions of love, let those that are not saved develop a hunger and thirst for you, and receive your gift of eternal life,

Amen!
