“Keys to Life Eternal”

From Ecclesiastes 3… I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

  It occurs to me that there are so very few of the civilized world that are listening to the Creator who passionately loves all of humanity. As I read this marvelous book, the bible, I get new insights every day of His great love for all. I can see that He does not love so much what we do but He loves all of humanity with such a passion that He sent His only Son, Yeshua to pay the redemption price for all the unrighteousness we have and ever will commit. But since so few are listening, He dictated a manuscript, which is the best seller of all time, to inform those who fail to listen, that He is willing to forgive if they will only turn and follow His advice. The rewards are quite incredible for the little that one must do to gain His pardon for being so selfish and thinking that life revolves around one’s self when without Him there is no life.

I know cause I used to be one of those that thought life began and ended with me. Since I have listened to what He has to say and offer, I would have been a fool to have refused to open that door to LIFE. If you do not know Yeshua, you are missing the boat to eternal blessings. He does not want to turn anyone away but it is an R.S.V.P. invitation. One must respond to the invitation or the boat will, it will, leave without you.

“A Voice in the Wilderness of Time”

I must depart from my usual post arrangement as the Lord has been heavy on my heart for those who rebel against Him. I look at all that is taking place in the world today, all of the greed, immorality, drugs and degradation and my heart weeps for those who have taken the path that leads away from the Creator. They know not what they do, it is this loving God who wants all to come to Him for love, peace, joy, happiness, kindness and all the other fulfilling attributes that He will give them. Greed and lust and immorality will never satisfy since the God who formed us in the womb has ordained us to live in a Garden of His creation soon to come.

Today, I want to draw attention to that Democratic party in the USA that is going against everything Godly. I was reading in Isaiah 66 from the Voice translation and there it gives the end result of actions against this awesome God of Creation.

Isaiah 66:22-24 Because just as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making will go on by My enduring will, so your name and the people who come from you will go on as well. From one month to the next, on Sabbath after Sabbath, everyone, every living thing, will come to this holy place to honor Me as God of all. This is My word to you. They’ll visit the site where the people who rejected Me lie rotting on the ground, crawling with worms that never die on a fire that just keeps smoldering. All who see it will recoil at the horrible sight.

And, here is a bit of a note at the beginning of this chapter in Isaiah:

The creation the prophet sees—the new earth—is radically different from the one everyone knows. At some deep level, everyone recognizes that the everyday world is not the world as God intends it; things are not the way they are supposed to be. But God will make everything new again. In that day, the painful past will recede and vanish. Unbridled joy and celebration will eclipse grief and sorrow. Jerusalem, the holy city, will become the center of the world. Long lives will be the norm. Peace will be secure without exception. God’s blessing will settle over all creation. Creation itself, with all its complexities, will be made new. No predator. No prey. Just peace and harmony throughout. This is a world only God can create when He creates it anew.

This is what the Garden of Eden was all about, a place of absolute perfection but Satan, Lucifer coerced them to listen to him instead of their Father and we see the result. But now, we can live an eternity in Paradise but it takes a decision to want Him as our Father.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I’m calling on the heavens and the earth to be the witnesses against you. I gave you the choice today between life and death, between being blessed or being cursed. Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live!

“Valentine’s Day”

             A Calla Lilly

John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

***********From Wikipedia**********

Martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14 are presented in martyrologies, including a written account of Saint Valentine of Rome imprisonment for performing weddings for soldiers, who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell. From what I have read, Valentinus (Latin spelling) was a Roman Catholic Priest or Bishop.

With all that is written in these days, the days we live in, there is one undeniable truth that has endured the centuries and is still as valid as the day it was presented and that is in the life of Yeshua, the Messiah of not only Israel but of the entire world of human beings. In the Bible, it states in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” In a sense, the Creator of everything there is, is coming to you today (and every day) and asking you to be His valentine, He wants to give you all the love He has to offer if you will accept His request to come away with Him for eternity. He wants to give you a life that is far beyond anything you could ever dream of or comprehend. It is true and He is asking YOU.
