Friend, do you have an open mind as to what Almighty God would look like?

Too many of us think He will look just like we do.

The Bible does not tell us that.

In Revelation, we hear the Disciple of Jesus, named John, describe what he sees in Heaven. He sees the risen from the dead Christ, The Lamb of God taking His Place at the right hand of The Father. 

From John's description we hear God has a brilliant shining Light for a countenance. This means His face shines brilliantly with Light. His Voice is thunderous and sounds like loud trumpets blaring. His "skin" is like a Jasper and Sardine stone (of the ancient world.)

The Throne has an emerald coloured rainbow arched/encircled around it. 

Revelation Verse 5 of Chapter 4 says And out from the Throne goes out Lightning and Thunder and Voices, and Seven Lamps of Fire burning in the Presence of The Throne, WHO are The Seven Spirits of God.

Verse 6 And in The Presence of The Throne a Glass sea like crystal, and in the midst of The Throne, and around The Throne, Four beasts full of EYES, before and behind.

Verse 7  And the First Beast like a Lion, and the Second Beast like a Calf, and the Third Beast having a face as a Man, and the Fourth Beast like an Eagle Flying. 

Later in Chapter 5 Verse 6 And I Spiritually Beheld, and you must Behold in the Midst of The Throne, and of the Four Beasts, and in the midst of The Elders, a LAMB now STANDING, as now made slain, having Seven Horns and Seven Eyes WHO are The Seven Spirits of God, now made sent out upon the earth. 

Verse 7 And He Came and Now Took the Scroll from The Right Hand of Him sitting upon The Throne.

Friend, this is a description of God on His Throne with Jesus The Slain Lamb standing in The Presence receiving The Scroll stamped with seven seals because He was The Only One Worthy to open them.

There is so much more to read in Revelation but let these descriptions seep into your heart and mind. 

God is Greater and has More Power than we can imagine. He is far above us in Holy Knowlege, after all He created us, all our inward parts and gave us a world to live upon for His Pleasure.

And what have we done? We ruined it. So He will put it right, and we will thank Him, and worship Him forever, as our Creator Saviour and King on a New Earth to come when every jot and tittle of The Law has been satisfied in His Story of mankind and the earth.

This would involve some corrupted data to be exiled from His Presence.

Friend, Jesus came to set the captives free!

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;  

Isaiah the prophet tells us, in this Scripture Verse given to him by The Spirit of God, speaking for the Father and The Word (The Son,) that the prophet Isaiah has been anointed by The Lord (Jesus), to preach good tidings to the meek, those not proud, those willing to hear, those brokenhearted by the evil in the world, those in chains to various bondages by the evil spirits in the realm where Satan has been cast down from Heaven, as he awaits his eventual demise; by the Law's reckoning of his rejection of The Power of God, which he continues to challenge.

Isaiah tells us that there is Liberty whole and good for any captive if they re willing to receive it. He isn't sent to set us free himself (Isaiah,) but he says he has been annointed to preach to everyone who will hear and listen to him, that there are Good Tidings from The Lord. 

It's up to each individual to take a leap of faith, to break free in the Knowledge that God has made a Way through His son's death.

Today we know that Isaiah was talking hundreds of years before Christ actually came to set in Law those Good Tidings. But in Isaiah's day those same Good Tidings gave Hope and Peace to the Jews.

They were being told by their prophet these Words from God; that He was coming, God knew their plight, they were still His chosen people and they could be assured that their meekness, broken heartedness, prisons in and of the world didn't count them out from God's Provision.

In this way, God is giving to them a Truth, and Word of Holy Knowledge, to bind up their broken hearts, so they could sing His praises in freedom of and heart and mind, even if the body was hurting.

He was saying walk in the freedom of knowing I am coming. I love you and allow by this Knowedge, those chains of bondage to fall from you. Evil does not own you when you are faithful to me.

Christian believers whose faith is steady and sure are held in His hand. He set us free at The Cross when He paid for our iniquities. We should not continue to walk around in chains of bondages hooked into our flesh, heart, and mind, by evil demons sent by Satan to claim us.

If you want freedom; know that it is yours to have. Just thank Jesus for including you when He went to The Cross. Remember He said to The Father, "Forgive them, My God, for they know not what they do."  

Most people think He is speaking about the soldiers, Pontious Pilate, the Sanhedrin, but in actuality He means all the people of the earth as well.

He asked The Father to Holy, Lawfully, Forgive us, for crucifying Him.

Until we recognise this fact that we are Forgiven because of Jesus's death, resurrection from death, and ascension into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God, (in Judgment too) we haven't understood how and why God did this for us, and it is a continuing rejection of Him to do that. 

To not accept Jesus is to continue to be in chains of bondage to Satan. The soul will be claimed by Satanic entities and there is nothing more God can or will/would do for it. 

After all if His Son's death is not enough for you, how evil are you?

Today, right now, mull over this Biblical Scripture with new understanding and talk to God about the state of your soul.

We aren't guaranteed 100 years; we aren't guaranteed this day. 

Friend have you considered that the reality of earth and it's inhabitants is not all there is?

The Bible reveals a larger more vibrant existence awaits each of us when we die. This does not mean all human souls will have the same residing place in this other existence.

It's not just a world, or one world, but is all things beyond this world, where beings exist that we cannot see with our eyes now in the earth reality.

There are angels and demons there, and the Holy Place where The Creator of all things, resides.

The Transfiguration of Jesus when He died gives us some insight into the type of covering our soul will have in that existence; bcause He transfigured after His Death and Resurrection. He had a body, He ate fish we're told. The Disciples touched Him, and Thomas was invited to touch the wounds.

He rose into the air; The Ascension of our Saviour, with the raiment of earth upon Him, yet went into the clouds and was not to be seen on earth again since. When He returned to The Father's Presence, He sent His Holy Spirit to earth to be our Comforter, Counsellor, Teacher and Guide in Truth, until the end of time, when He will come again in Great Majesty.

In Revelation we hear of what Jesus looks like in Heaven, when John is summoned by Jesus into His Presence.

Friend, cannot you see, this is another reality which we cannot see now; but by John's description, it is a full vibrant reality seen by many others in that same realm.

These are things to think deeply about. These Words, need The Spirit of God within us to help us understand. He, The Spirit, is the One Who leads us into Truth.

The evil spirits will lead us into many other fabrications which are designed to lead us away from Truth.

But if one says, "Can this be? Is this another reality where God resides in Power and Truth? Help me Lord to understand," The Spirit will take that as a genuine enquiry, and begin to lead you from where you are in disbelief, into God's Truth.

He always starts with Jesus. And God has designed The Holy Bible in such a Way that you will know Truth when you seek to know Truth.

Friend every day we should evaluate our "self."

There's so much most of us do not understand about life in general; many others think they have it "all figured out," but in reality are caught in a web of carefully crafted lies to suit their temperament. Those lies are chains of bondage from the pit of Hell placed around you by demonic spirits.

We get deceived from childhood experiences and situations beyond our control when we make many conclusions about the world we live in. But that is just our little world of family and friends who too are living exactly like ourselves, and who are making those same conclusions - all wrong.

We muddle along through life letting the televsion and social media, tell us what to think. It's a brain washing we allow. "If it sounds good and it makes me feel good, I'm in!"

But if we have been exposed to God's Truths we have different views. And as life goes on, we mature, we see the crack between what our heart knows about God and what our eyes see from other sources.

We are the odd ones, the awkward ones that the current "it" crowd abhors. We're cautious in taking on the beliefs espoused by movies, music, television, and now social media.

We're bombarded with candy for the eyes espousing the new, upgraded, level of morality for this generation, but our heart says "No, this is not Godly!"

And the heart is right. It knows The Word of God if we have learned what The Book has to say. But the mind which gets information from the eyes and ears, can be a rebel. 

The mind wants to live in the "now." It wants to experience all the world has to offer, and will fight with the heart, to let it do so. The mind will lash out and cause troubles for the whole body.

But, the heart has control of the mind. When we use The Word of God to help us make decisions, it grows strong and can control the mind just by saying "No." The heart receives it's strength of character from God who resides there in every believer. 

Having this interaction with God throughout our life is very reassuring. Those who will not allow Him into their hearts will hear Him say, "I did not know you." (You wouldn't let Me in.")

Yet The Word of God tells us that every day is a new day. At any moment in any day or night, we can decide, we can choose, we can believe He exists and that His Word is Truth for living. In a moment, our mind can "see" what the heart is telling it; "Let us follow Christ." "Let us get out of this mess we are in." "No-one would die for us like He did." "Let's believe, let's learn about this Saviour."

Friend, we do not know when our time on earth is up. God has designed it this way because He wants no false claims of faith made without the heart surrendered to Him.

The moment you have this clicking together of heart and mind, take it to The One Who went to The Cross with you on His Mind. He will welcome you. All the angels will rejoice and sing "Glory to God."

Friend, have you noticed that we humans are constantly wrestling against evil forces behind those we come in contact with every day.

It may be from those at work, in the family, friends and acquaintences; even strangers.

There's always a push back. 

Yet we do know from The Bible that God stands with Law and Law pushes back too.

Law says, "Obey Me!"

And we find that Satan says the same.

As a believer, we come to know that believers get protection and provision from the Hand of God through His Law.

In other Words; Law commands God to take care of His people.

He cannot cross the lines of our free will Gift from Him, nor can He cross the lines of the sentence from The Law, that Satan is under since he was judged in Heaven's Courts and found guilty, now under his sentencing guidelines from Law.

We may want special favour from God, we may want Him to break The Law to help us, but He ONLY operates within The Law.

This means that when we ask Him anything He will only respond within His Law which is His Will.

So a Way has to be found within The Law to address our need.

God wrote a New Covenant for Law to take within Itself.

And Jesus carried out what The Law required for that New Covenant to be legal.

He went to The Cross an innocent and shed His Blood as a Sacrifice to satisfy The Law for all our sins.

But there are many who will not believe or do not want to say "thank You."

Law says those souls must satisfy Law in this one Way. Believe what God had planned; a New Covenant, and what Jesus carried out for them. 

There is no other Way.

It's the simplest and most profound Way that balances the Scales of Justice in Law.

A soul can be placed on one side of the scales and if he has Satan on the other the Scales of Justice will not be balanced; but place Jesus on the other side and the Scales will be Perfectly Balanced.

Even though I am a sinner and am unworthy of this Great Gift from God, His Son's Death, because I believe and have a thankful heart, I will have Jesus on the other side of the Scale when I die.

If you do not have Jesus, you can come to the conclusion right now, that you need Him on that other side of the Scale of Justice and receive Him into your heart with thanks and gratitude to God The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Friend, fellow human, one blood, it is never God Almighty's fault that we are hurt or suffer in this world.

It always will be of, or from our own doing; the rejecting of God, Who is our Helper, Provider, Protector, Healer, Teacher, Guide and Truth.

When we are in complete alignment with Him and His Will, a trial may come from the pit of Hell to trip us up, with intent to steal, destroy and kill, but when we keep our allegiance intact and full, in our Lord Who shed His Blood as an appeasement of the Law which we were in debt to, He will make our path forward one of strength, uprightness, even Joyful. We won't grow weary, and we will not be overtaken by evil forces.. 

As we take the Righteous Path, following Jesus, walking in step with His Forgiven souls, we will grow and mature, both in this life and in the inner person, in the spiritual supernatural God realm, being cleansed and made new for the Kingdom, and be a witness on earth to family, friends, and wherever God leads.

We all are hurt. We all carry scars; flesh and soul. God knows; it wasn't His Intention. It was our choices that allowed Satan free reign. Our wilful disobedient choices in many cases.

But Jesus came to set our souls free from the chains that Satan and his demonic army have placed on us. When they want entertainment, they torture and torment us as they jerk those chains, pulling us around as if we're in a washing machine full of boiling water. They screech howl and laugh at our cries and accusations against The Almighty, our feeble attempts to get rid of the chains.

Can you see this? Has it happened to you?

Be aware that this is what is happening. The demonic realm thrives on keeping us illiterate about God. They fill our minds with hate against Him when we don't even know enough about Him to hate. 

It's them we should hate! They're abhorrent! They do horrific things!  And they hate us because God loves us and they have been exposed, arrested, judged, found guilty, sentenced and are in the midst of their punishment phase; being exiled from Heaven and their high positions, to the realm in the air (supernatural realm) over the earth. Where we can all agree, they contimue to do evil work in the minds of mankind.

Every day and night, for they never sleep (nor do the angels,) evil rails against their God by doing evil works throughout the earth. They snatch souls away, they destroy our minds, and they cause us to die in our sinful state, thereby gaining a soul.

But the soul who cries out to Jesus for help will be Saved and Forgiven from that evil realm.

God hears the cry of the genuine, humbled ready to bow to His Majesty, soul. That cry goes straight to His heart and He cannot deny that one.

He cannot be fooled, so we must not cry "wolf." If there's a shred of "tom-foolery" in that cry, we risk it not being received or heard. But we can be sure a Truth-filled cry reaches and enters Truth Itself, God. He will react to save that soul in it's filthy sinfilled, denier of God, state.

Be bold, be brave, take that leap of faith. He will catch you; because you want Him. He's already shown us how much He wants us; at The Cross.

God wants us to be completely faithful to Him. 

The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God.

He created us and the world we live in, and He knows if we do not have faith in Him, we will have faith in something other than Him. And only He is Good through and through; meaning everything else is not good for us.

He knows since we fell from His Grace in The Garden, the Perfect environment for us, we have sinful thoughts, and in those thoughts our mind wanders to ways we can please Him, rather than just being faithful; for we want to have the things the world offers, more than be faithful to Him; because that requires not indulging in much of what the world offers. We like to think we'll go our own way and work hard on something to make Him pleased with us, and that "will do" instead of having pure faith in Him, and all He can and has done for us. 

One of those ways is; maybe if we join a church we can rely on the church to do what's right and guide us, and that will cover our own mistakes and errors.

But friend, we can't at the end of our life say to Him, "The church I attended, (joined, am a member of,)  has taught me wrong things which I see now, and so I am not guilty of not haviing faith. I had faith in that church!"  That won't work at all.

Why is that?

Well, what if that church is not pleasing to God?

In Revelations, Jesus from His throne in Heaven addresses all the types of churches there are on the earth which claim to be His. 

He gave to us the ability to know Him in our heart and mind and to recognise His works in all we see. So with our heart, our mind and our eyes we can know Him. If we hear The Pure Word from The Bible, we use our ears and mind and heart. And when we touch another, a baby, an animal, a tree or smell a flower or fruit, all these things were made by the mind of God; this is evidence of His Presence, His Existence.

He Is in everything beautiful and good.

He is everywhere we look, whether to the ocean, the mountain or sky; our mind takes in His Handiwork, and we see that He makes beautiful things. Must not His Being be Beautiful to produce such beauty?

Before we leave this existence, we have the God Right, The Lawful Right, to choose to be faithful to Him and nothing else. That doesn't mean we have a dull life. On the contrary, it frees us from the clutches of Satan. We are relieved from following Satan's every whim of bondage in our heart and mind, every addiction, every lust for power, every greedy thought, every malice every evil.

The Father has said in His Word that we must take our faith from and in the evil one and place it in what His Son has done for us at The Cross; to please Him. At first we may not understand the fullness of The Lawful Cross, but we can see our Saviour hanging on The Cross and realise He did that for "me." 

His Blood was shed for "me."He took that blow from Satan for "me."

In that understanding we begin to realise God is on our side. He wants to help us. Think about what He did at The Cross. 

He fulfilled The Law regarding each of us. He paid our debt in full. Once, He will not do it again. That Holy Payment is yours and mine if we take it and keep it the rest of our life. 

In that Way He appeased The Law that was holding a debt on "me" which I could not pay. I hadn't placed my faith in God, but Satan had control of me.

Now, right this minute, we can decide to believe in what Jesus has done for us. It is what the Father wants of us. Our creator wants us to do this to unlock the power that evil has on our souls. Law does not allow Him to take us kicking and screaming into The Kingdom. He offered up His Son for all, but we have to individually say, "Yes and thank You, God."

Cast Satan aside and give your full allegiance to Jesus our Warrior, Saviour King Who has All The Power over Heaven and Earth. 

When Satan tempted Him in the wilderness and He declined the offers, He did that for us. We just have to agree with Him that He is Righteous in all He does.

From this moment, you and I will be on a journey of Hope and discovery about The Kingdom of God, when we accept The Sacrifice of Jesus was for us, and thank Him.

Everthing we need for our life's journey, is in The Bible. The Spirit of God will guide us as we read it with a believer's heart. If we do not believe He exists, He will be to us a stranger that we have seen every now and then, but cannot say we know.

But when we believe in our heart and mind that He exists, He embraces us like a lost son or daughter.

That is a Key to the Christian faith. To believe first That God Almighty exists. Then we hear about The Son and that is by The Spirit of God reaching our heart  because we unlocked it to let Him in.

That is why the Christ Child came to earth. He knows our sufferings of the flesh and the pricking darts of evil; but He made a Way out of that for us, and it's a Path we can follow with Him leading the Way to Eternal Life with Him.

Make it a Joyous Journey; praising your Saviour all the day long!

Friend, we know that we do not live in the flesh forever. 

Death is always there, looming over us in our future.

We do not know the hour of our death.

Knowing this as a real fact that is undenialable, we should make an effort to understand the circumstances around death.

There are so many variables in dying for each of us. 

There's a sudden unexpected death, there's a sudden death that we might have known was imminent or could happen earlier than at an aged state because of certain medical conditions that applied to us.

There's death by accident, perhaps caused by oneself or by unusual circumstances involving other deaths at the same time, or by another's carelessness.

There's death by murder caused by greed, hate, anger, fear.

And there's suicide. A wilful decision to not continue to live.

But in all these an unbeliever should know that at the last minute, a sinner hanging on a cross of his own, dying, turned his head to Jesus and addressed Him "Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom."

This man, had just rebuked the third man who was also being crucified, who had railed against Jesus for not saving Himself and them, with, "If Thou be Christ, save Thyself and us!" 

In other words the third man denied the Diety of Christ. He mocked Him, not believing, because he would have saved himself if he had the power.

And his thinking was that because Jesus hadn't used His Power to do so, then He must not have it.

But God's Ways are above ours. 

The other then said to the unbeliever, "Do you not fear God, seeing you are condemned with us? And we indeed deserve this as a due reward for our deeds; but this Man hath done nothing amiss."

Jesus answered the man's request to be remembered by Him by saying: 

"VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TODAY YOU SHALT BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.'

At death's door, wouldn't you love to hear those words, and know they were Truth?

So after living carelessly, never giving thought to the afterlife, never considering the obvious, that there is One God, would you reject His Promise that you could be with Him in His Kingdom the minute you died?

Isn't that a wonderous thing to ponder in your last moments? That you could leave this callous earth full of evil and be with the King of Kings in Paradise, saved by His Blood shed thousands of years ago.

Nothingness, Hell, or Paradise with Jesus?

Those are a mans' choices. 

But Nothingness doesn't exist; only Heaven or Hell. 

Nothingness is a LIE. 

Jesus showed us He still lives. He Resurrected and appeared for forty days among the people as He had done before. Some witnessed His Ascension!

People tell others of miraculous things, and word spread as God knew it would, and has orchestrated His Own Oral teachings down through the ages. 

It frustrates Satan and his demonic spirits. The Word has Power and it reveals the wickedness of that realm and The Holy Goodness of God. They will do anything to keep us from reading it.

The Bible actually speaks to the seeking heart, the mind desirous of knowing Truth. There is no harm that come come upon anyone who reads God's Word to us. It is our birthright to know our ancestors, our Creator, and everything He has told His prophets. It's our Knowledge to know and either agree with or discard. 

Individual choice. One has to be strong of mind to even open The Bible, but once we read it, we find there was nothing to be scared about. It's just Beautiful Truth which we many find hard to digest at first, but come to settle into, like a warm coat on a freezing day.

Over time it warms the heart. It placates the mind. It fills us with peace and a knowing that settles many questions; all the "why's" and "why not's."

We actually begin a new life with Jesus as Saviour King and we learn He's our Warrior King for the rest of our earth life. He has Names like, Provider, Healer, Lover of my soul too.

So much to thank Him for when we understand how much evil has penetrated our life; and the cleansing He has done in us by His Holy Spirit to make us new creatures, is done so gently (when we are willing.)

Why not make this new year 2026 the year of Bible discovery. Pick up a used one, go online for a King James Version, seek out old time preachers like Charles Spurgeon on the internet, who told the truth about man's soul's predicament. Charles Stanley, R.C. Sproul have many books that will enhance your personal study in the search for Truth.

Friend, so many of us cannot imagine that the earth as we know it will not exist one day. 

Yet The Holy Word of God tells the faithful believer and indicates to the unbelievers, that there will be a new earth where Jesus Himself will reign as King and be The Light for all, for the sun will be no more.

So many of us think the ocean must stay so far from the land, the mountains will always be that high, new land will not be exposed, the ice should stay where it is at north and south poles and weather should be consistent without fires and pestilences.

We run about scared when something happens that; in our young years we've never heard about, nor seen happen but for older folk those things have continually happened with an erratic cyclical certainty.

Storms, cyclones, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the like will happen, some worse than others. Droughts will happen, land will be washed away, mountains will explode and fall, comets will crash into the earth, tidal waves will do damage.

The world is not a static thing. It lives, breathes and exists in it's territory within the cosmos as it continues to change and adapt to the aftermaths of catastrophic changes.

We cannot control it. We can try to contain it, to stop big destructive weather events happening, and we can control only some of the losses from those events when they do happen, by scientifically analysing as we do using satelitte and analysing collected data.

But even if we fix the ozone, our earth happenings will still continue.

Don't be afraid of what has been happening since the earth was made. 

What seems new to you, is not new to those who are in the grave. Many died in those catastrophies.

Don't panic, don't be aghast.

Be concerned enough to live your daily life so as to not add to those destructive forces; even in the little things, but remember if everyone on the earth lived perfectly and did everything perfectly, it would not change things from happening in any measureable way.

Don't spend a lifetime running around claiming the earth is dying. From a Biblical point of view that is a soul who has been grasped by the demonic claws of Satan, who won't let go until he has used them up for his unwinnable war against God.

Stop and think about whether God has full Knowledge of everything that is happening and whether it is His Right to do as He peases within Holy Law, to Govern His creation and all in it. 

Don't blame God! We're in His narrative; not He in ours. We are not our own. The earth is not ours to own. We're renters!

We alone got ourselves into this earth time; since God put the two original beings in the Garden of Eden, and told them to stay away from the tree of the knowledge of both good and evil. (They were not to eat of that fruit ever.) 

We know they were in awe of God and knew His Power, because immediately they "ate the fruit," as the Bible describes this happening, they were afraid of God.

When that happened, the knowledge of evil was released all over the earth; into every plant, animal, the earth itself and the humans incuding all the humans they would produce. 

A Great Law was broken. It was not a simple thing, but had dire consequences for the planet and all on it.

The future of the earth now included evil. It was no longer over the realm of the air above the earth only, it had made contact and infiltrated everything on the earth through the first couple's error.

Satan actually gained more power and that is why he deceived Eve first then Adam. He is a cunning antagonist.

Man unlocked what was sealed. Evil was not to be free in The Garden. The fruit of the tree was the key to opening The Garden to satan to have dominion too. It was the one place he had no power to inflict his pain through his evil works for he is the most depraved being.

God is Law. He obeys Law.  And now Law was at odds with the earth and all existing on it.

God knows who manipulated the young humans, but they also knew that they must obey Him for their own good. Yet they allowed the devil to deceive them by agreeing with him that God didn't really mean what He said. 

They had rejected God's Will for mankind. It was a trust broken. It was what we might call loyalty to their Maker removed and self saying it wanted to make it's own way.

So that's what they got. God's protection and favour was removed and the Garden was off limits and they became wanderers looking for food, and shelter, having to kill the predators who now looked at them as prey, to survive.

God's Holy Law governs everything throughout the universes, in all we see and cannot see. 

When Law is broken there is a consequence for the lawbreaker.  As an example we can understand, here on earth a murder is carried out, our law broken, a sentence is proclaimed for the perpetrator by our laws of government.

On earth, for example, the person pronounced guilty is given a sentence of punishment by the death penalty, yet may have some time before the actual punishment is carried out.This waiting time is similar to us on the earth now, waiting for the punishment to be carried out for the sentencing has been told to us. 

In Heaven in The Holy Court of Justice, God is The Judge. 

He has handed down the sentencing stating the punishment for Satan.

Here on earth Satan is using up his alloted time before his punishment is carried out.

Don't be caught with him for when that time comes you will not have time to change sides. 

Do it now. Jesus will receive a contrite heart and a broken spirit and give you a new life with Him. Fully Forgiven for your past of denying Him, of hating Him, of blaspheming Him.

He knows who is behind it all. But now you know the Truth. Don't carry on as usual. What if your soul is required of you this night like the rich young ruler spoken of in the Bible. He couldn't give up his luxuries when told; after asking Christ what he could do to get into Heaven. He thought he had plenty of time so he went off to enjoy his things, his ideas, his ways and will; but that night, he died.

We all have that death penalty upon us since the fall of Adam and Eve. That is why Christ came; to save us, to Forgive us, to make us new in Him, to claim us from Satan. But we have to agree in our heart, that His death paid for our sins, and that He is King and Saviour. 

Picture Jesus on The Cross, bloodied, beaten, wearing the crown of thorns placed on Him in mockery of His Kingship by unbelievers, dying, and He looks down to you, meets your eyes and says, "follow Me and you can have Eternal Life."

You've heard the whisperings of the people in the crowd witnessing the crucifixion of three men. You know two were criminals, you hear what Jesus says to John.

He's just answered the thief next to Him on his cross, and heard Him say, "Of a surety you will be with Me in Paradise, this day." 

But the other criminal, a mocker keeps his mouth shut because he won't believe Jesus is his Saviour; the thief thinks Jesus is weak, not a Saviour of anybody, so does not receive this Amazing Gift of Eternal Life with Jesus.

You hear the Roman guards talking and hear one say, "Surely He is God."

So what is your answer to The King of Kings Who died for you to be free of the Satanic claim on your soul?

Friend, believers speak of "having a relationship" with God.

How do they do this? Are they crazy when they speak of having a relationship with The Invisible, The Eternal, The All Knowing, The Power, The Truth, Love and Light?

Each believer has it's own story of Redemption. 

But those who have a relationship with Him, in this time we live in, have an advantage over believers from centuries past before Jesus came, when The Word from God was heard from spiritual leaders and prophets. The rich could employ a scribe to copy Holy manuscripts and read it to his household but rarely would a villager or nomadic wanderer ever have read the words for itself. (many not readers or writers.)

Yet if man never had the Bible, the signs of The Invisible Majestic Power are everywhere. There is no excuse.

But thankfully now (because evil keeps us busy and our eyes off the Beauty of Creation,) we have a Holy Bible. God Himself by His Spirit, gathered His Own Words together, given by His Spirit to various righteous men of old, guiding other true believers centuries later, to bring about a tome from Him which He would use to speak to our hearts and minds. 

The first thing a new believer should seek is to have a Bible. Used, or new, it is a valuable possession. Here is an online link where anyone can read the King James Version.  www.kingjamesbibleonline.org (copy and paste to address bar.)

In The Bible, God reveals our history to us, and we are able to discern His Character and Attributes. We learn about how His Law is Perfect and holds everything together in Perfect alignment.

As we read there will be sentences, verses, sections that "speak" to our mind or heart, this is The Spirit of God either convicting or confirming something to us.

His Word is like a sharp knife, that cuts deep and clean, causing no harm like the surgeon's scalpel, but revealing an issue or problem in our thinking. That's God beginning to correct bad data entered by devilish demons, stored in our mind or heart that prohibits us growing, maturing, producing good fruit.

Has any body ever said to you, "I have loved you with an everlasting love?"   In Jeremiah 31:3  Old Testament, God says this to Jeremiah but it is for all of mankind. That's why it's in The Bible. God says it once and it is for all. Same verse, He also says "therefore with loving kindness, have I drawn you to Me."

God is saying to all of us, that when we become "awake" to Who He Is, it is because He has been drawing us to Himself, by His Holy Spirit.

Isn't that a lovely and Gracious thing to do? He never gave up. You might be 18 or 80 but He is always drawing us to Himself. He wants everyone of us to be back in His Kingdom Fold. The Good Shepherd's sheepfold is where we will be cared for, nourished, healed if broken, and taught great truths, raised up for Kingdom living both here and in the hereafter.

Walking with Jesus is enhanced by the reading of His Word. We begin to understand our whole purpose; that we are not our own. We were created by Him and we belong to Him but He is not an evil master. He never hurts us. He would never prod us with a pitchfork but we say this about Satan because man knows that when he is in us, it feels like a pitchfork. Satan hurts us. He delights in hurting us. 

Run far from Satan and his demoic army of demon spirits who seek only to destroy your soul before you can know Jesus your Saviour. The One Who guarantees Joyful Eternal Life after the flesh dies.

We learn in The Bible that we will have a supernatural existence which is more real than this existence after we die. The Supernatural Realm came "first" so to speak. God is a Supernatural Bodied Being Who can become part of what He has created. He came to earth as Jesus and it is recorded that He appeared for short times to Abraham. Bible scholars name other earth appearances.

He also reveals Who The Son Is; The Purpose of The Cross, what is required of us (to be faithful) and in the last Revelation He tells us about Glorious Heaven, through His Words to the Disciple and Apostle John.

Day to day, minute by minute we can rely on The Bible; for Wisdom, Truth, and It's Healing Power for the mind of mankind. 

It can lift us from the depths of depression. It can set our mind on the things above, it reveals God's Truth and exposes the lies of Satan.

We can grow in Truth-filled Knowledge in leaps and bounds, and yet there will be much we do not know if we live to be over a hundred and seek It's Truths everyday.

Yet we will always feel satisfied with our answers because we place our trust in Him Who died for us. He went to The Cross of shame and condemnation, an innocent on God's Mighty Redemption Plan and He succeeded for us. We may be only a remnant, but He still came for us.
