Jesus Will be King for All People | King of Kings | Kingdom of God

January 13th, 2026 John P

Can Pride Keep You From Repenting?

Repent and sin no more | Confess Your Sins

Jesus Will be King of Kings for All People

Judges 21:25, In those days there was no king in Israel, and every man did as he pleased.

This scripture is so true when you see how it is no different today then it was back in those days. In the Old Testament they had God to follow if they chose to. In these days, the New Testament, we have Jesus as a choice to follow and when He returns, Jesus will be King of Kings for all people, not just Israel.

As long as you do not accept Jesus (the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords) you can say, ‘I’m going to do as I please and follow my own desires’. In other words, you can rule your own life and be your own king but, there are consequences to this way of living.

First and foremost, you do not have Jesus as your Savior. All you have is the world and the world cannot save you because the world is nothing but vanity. When you die, you are left with nothing.

You can’t go to heaven because you rejected Jesus, the Son of God, King of Kings. Therefore, you reject Jesus, you reject God as well. You see, the only place left to go is the Lake of Fire where all the others are going who rejected Jesus.

The Lake of Fire and The Sacrificial Lamb

Matt.25:41, Next He will say to those on His left hand, “Go away from me with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

God didn’t prepare the Lake of Fire for us, He prepared it for the devil and his angels. He sent Jesus to give us the Good News about the Kingdom of God. Jesus came to be the sacrificial Lamb so that those who believe and don’t reject Him can be forgiven of their sins.

God Gave Us a Way Out of Condemnation

John 3:16-18, ‘Yes, God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not be lost but may have eternal life. For God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world, but so that through Him the might be saved.

No one who believes in Him will be condemned; but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already, because he has refused to believe in the name of God’s only Son.

Detach Your Heart From this Passing World

1 John 2:15-17, ‘You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man that loves the world.

The things the world has to offer like–the sensual body, the lustful eye, pride in possessions–could never come from the Father but only from the world. And the world, with all it craves for, is coming to an end; but anyone who does the will of God remains forever.’

Jesus tells us this: John 15:18-19, ‘If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own.’ Your choice.

Christians are being persecuted all over the world. The world hates them just as Jesus foretold His apostles but, the believers in Christ don’t renounce Him because they have faith and they know there is a better life waiting for them.

Pride is the Root of All Sin

Ecclesiasticus 10:12-13, The beginning of human pride is to desert the Lord, and to turn one’s heart away from one’s maker. Since the beginning of pride is sin, whoever clings to it will pour forth filth.

Ecclesiasticus 10:18, Pride was not created for men, nor furious rage for those born of woman.

Repent — Cease to Sin and Change Your Lifestyle

Psalm 7:10-12, God is the shield that protects me, He preserves upright hearts. God the righteous judge is slow to anger, but He is a God who is always enraged by those who refuse to repent.

Matthew 3:2, John the Baptist said, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand’.

Deceiving Ourselves and Refusing to Admit the Truth

James 1:14-15, Everyone who is tempted is attracted and seduced by his own wrong desire. Then the desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it too has a child, and the child is death.

1 John 1:8-10, If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth; but if we acknowledge our sins, but God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong. To say that we have never sinned is to call God a liar and to show that His word is not in us.

The People Confess Their Sins and Are Baptized

Matthew 3:5-6, ‘Then Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole Jordan district made their way to him (John the Baptist), and as they were baptized by him in the river Jordan they confessed their sins’. (Also in Mark 1:4-5).

James 5:16, So, confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, and this will cure you.

Jesus and Two Criminals Crucified

Luke 23:39-43, ‘One of the criminals hanging there abused Him. ‘Are you not the Christ?’ he said, ‘Save yourself and us as well’. But the other spoke up and rebuked him.

‘Have you no fear of God at all?’ he said. ‘You got the same sentence as He did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.’

‘Jesus’ he said, ‘Remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ ‘Indeed I promise you,’ He replied, ‘Today you will be with me in paradise.’

It appears that the first criminal does not care to own up to his wrong doing. He is not remorseful for doing the wrong that he did. All he cares about is escaping the consequences that he was sentenced to as judgement for the crime he committed. We don’t know what this man thought about later on but, at this point his last thought was asking Jesus to help him escape his punishment.

Next, we have the second criminal rebuking what the first criminal was pleading to Jesus about. The second criminal acting out of humility and showing respect to God admitted that he did wrong and that his punishment was justified.

In this man’s last hour he confessed his wrong doing openly and did not try to hide it. He recognized Jesus as an innocent man and as his Savior by asking Jesus to remember him. Jesus told the man that He promised He will and that he will be with Him in paradise.

Acknowledge Your Sins and Admit Them To Yourself | Confess Them to God and to Another Person

The first part of this spiritual exercise is to acknowledge your sins. If you are not familiar with all of the sins that we commit, you can look them up in the bible. For instance, these scriptures lists many of them:

Mark 7:21-23, ‘It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For it is from within, from men’s hearts, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a man unclean.’

Galatians 5:19-21, ‘When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious: fornication, gross indecency and sexual irresponsibility; idolatry and sorcery; feuds and wrangling, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels; disagreements, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies and similar things. I warn you now, as I warned you before: those that behave like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.’

Revelation 22:15, ‘These others must stay outside: dogs, fortune-tellers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone of false speech and false life.’

Some of the others could be: wrongs you may have done to others, resentments, hate, wishing ill things to happen to people.

Begin Meditating and Writing Your Sins Down

Find a nice quiet place or peaceful setting where you can relax and concentrate without interruption. Begin by asking Jesus give you courage and faith to help you recall the sins that you need to acknowledge and write them down.

Take however much time you wish to spend during this session. You should do this as many times as you can until you feel that you have concluded with covering all bases of the sins and your conscience is clear. Make sure that you have not left out any sin(s) because you feel they’re not appropriate.

You have to be completely honest with this spiritual exercise. This is a very humbling experience and it could lead you to a spiritual awakening.

Once you have completed writing down your sins, you will need to find someone that you feel you can trust. Someone like a pastor, a counselor, someone in the clergy, or someone you feel comfortable with and trust.

Confess Your Sins

Confess your sins to whomever you chose and to God. Spend some time going over your sins. Discuss the difficult ones that you may have trouble with or overcoming.

After you have finished confessing your sins to yourself, God and another person, pray about these sins, forgive yourself and ask God to forgive you and ask Him to remove these sins. Then you can take the paperwork that you wrote your sins down on an destroy them as you like.

Many Benefits to This Spiritual Exercise

There are many benefits to this spiritual exercise that will help you miraculously. It’s a part of picking up your cross daily and following Jesus. It will bring you closer to Him and God. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life. Follow Him and He will help you overcome all things that keep that you separated from God.

Using a Journal

There is one item that you may want to start as a daily routine and that would be to keep a journal. Write down the things that you do wrong in the course of the day like, bad thoughts, things you may did or didn’t do, something you might have said like gossiping, etc., etc.

Then at the end of the day, review your journal and evaluate what you wrote down. Take one and think about what you can do to change this negative to a positive.

This will likely take practice but, it will help you to raise your awareness level. The more you are able to change, the better and more manageable your life will be.

Examine Yourself Before Judgement Comes

Ecclesiasticus 18:19-22, ‘Learn before you speak, take care of yourself before you fall ill. Examine yourself before judgement comes, and on the day of visitation you will find yourself acquitted.

Humble yourself before you fall ill, and when you sin repent. Let nothing prevent your discharging a vow in good time, and do not wait till death before setting matters to right.’

Examine yourself daily, read the bible, pray and ask God for forgiveness of your sins.

May God Bless You with Hid Divine Love and Grace

By the Grace of God Are You Seeking the Truth or Avoiding it?

December 21st, 2025 John P

By the Grace of God Are You Seeking the Truth or Avoiding it?

Grace of God | Divine Love | Seek Truth | Faith and Humility

Being Touched by the Grace of God

It was a beautiful thing finding the Lord and being touched by the grace of God. The blessings that I received from God were unspeakable and filled with His love. Then the time came when I was going to have to learn what to do to draw closer to God and be obedient to Him. Well, this is where seeking Truth comes in.

After I decided that I was going to give my life over to the Lord and exchange my will for God’s will, I knew that I was going to have to change my life and my lifestyle for the sake of overcoming my sinful nature. I never realized that it was going to be that difficult and painful but, it was well worth it.

Sometimes You Just Don’t Want To Hear It

I remember many years ago going to church and sitting there listening to the pastor preach. It was nice until he would quote a scripture from the bible and start to preach on it because sometimes it would be something that I did not want to hear. I’m sure this is something that happened to all of us at one time or another.

Pray for the Gift of Discernment

You know what I mean when we respond to ourselves by saying, “I’m going to have to give that up? ” or “I’m going to have to stop doing that? “. The Truth can hurt and cause us to try and manipulate it in a way that we end up deceiving ourselves into believing that we don’t need to stop what we were doing because we can’t see the wrong in it. This is where we need to pray for the gift of discernment.

Discernment is so important to understanding what is Truth and what isn’t. I say this because Truth comes from God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God which is in the bible. God warns us not to put our trust in man (Jeremiah 17:7) and for good reason.

Trust God Only and Not Man

There are many pastors, preachers, teachers, etc., etc. that either think they know truth or they pretend to. There are those that preach half truth to make money from people or to make a living preaching at a church, on the internet or some other way that they can make a dollar.

It can be deadly for you because you put your trust in man for truth and not the Lord. I’m not saying don’t go to church or anything like that but, you need to arm yourself with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Walk in the Flesh or in the Spirit

No one said that the transition from walking in the flesh to walking in the spirit was going to be easy. It helps though when we build a relationship with Jesus Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and Life. Jesus will guide us and help us overcome our fleshly pleasures and desires.

Battle Between the Spirit and the Flesh

I’m not lying when I tell you that there will be a serious battle between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh will want to remain dominate over the spirit, it doesn’t want to give up the worldly life. The spirit keeps growing in Faith and Humility which brings darkness upon the flesh because the flesh has lost a lot of its freedom to seek pleasures and desires for itself.

It’s understandable that we lived the worldly life for so long that we looked at it only in one way, the way of our flesh. With its pleasures and desires of want it seemed so normal that we considered it the right way to live. In other words, we had to please the flesh. Forget about others, they came second because we needed to take care of us first.

It Becomes a Joy to Seek the Truth

As time went on the Truth was getting easier to accept so much so that, in time, I found myself seeking the Truth more and more and not shying away from it. It’s actually a joy to find seek the Truth and find it. What a Blessing!
It was by the grace of God that I was able to endure the hardships and tests and trials. I was able to grow stronger in faith, patience, love, humility and the ability to overcome temptation.

Seeing the Glory of God

All Glory to God. I thank Him for His divine love, wisdom, mercy, forgiveness, protection from my enemies, blessings and being there for me whenever I need Him. And most of all, for Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.

May God Bless You With His Divine Love

Virtuous | Scornful People | Scoffers

December 13th, 2025 John P

Virtuous | Scornful People | Scoffers

Virtuous | Scoffers | Scornful People | Chosen Ones

The Virtuous and the Scoffers

Wisdom 3:1-5, ‘But the souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are in peace.

If they experienced punishment as men see it, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be. God has put them to the test and proved them worthy to be with Him.’

The virtuous are sons of God and He will protect them. God will shield them from the evil ones and they will be blessed with peace. These virtuous ones, sons of God, overcame their sins like, pleasures and desires of the flesh, and temptations.

A part of belonging to God is going through tests and trials from time to time. Growing strong in faith, humility and love just to name a few are virtues we need to help us overcome ourselves and draw nearer to God. God loves and trusts those that are obedient to Him.

The Chosen to Rule Over People and Nations with Jesus our King

Wisdom 3:7-9, When the time comes for His visitation they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. They shall judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their King forever.

They who trust in Him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with Him in love; for grace and mercy await those He has chosen. The chosen ones that are mentioned are those that God can trust not to fail Him. They have proved themselves by being tested by God. They keep His commandments

These are the ones who will help Jesus set up a new government that will rule over all nations at the end time and forever more. This will be when Jesus returns the second time to get His bride.

Great White Throne Judgement

Wisdom 3:10, ‘But the godless will be duly punished for their reasoning, for neglecting the virtuous man and deserting the Lord.’

I have seen virtuous, God loving people neglected and shunned by their own church people and even the pastor. This is what Jesus said; Luke 4:24, And He went on, ‘I tell you solemnly, no prophet is ever accepted in his own country (town, city, home, community, etc.). A Prophet could also be a teacher of God’s word, one who has been taught by God, Jesus and the Holy spirit.

Scornful People

Wisdom 3:11-12, ‘Yes, wretched are they who scorn wisdom and discipline: their hope is void, their toil unavailing, their achievements unprofitable; their wives are reckless, their children depraved, their descendants accursed.’

A scornful person is one whose pride rules their heart. They walk in the darkness and not in the light. They are usually anti-God and anti-Christ. They don’t seek wisdom or truth and so, they travel the road to perdition. The consequences of being scornful is you end up driving yourself further away from God.

Proverbs 1:22, ‘You ignorant people, how much longer will you cling to your ignorance? How much longer will mockers revel in their mocking and fools hold knowledge contemptible?

Psalm 1:1, Happy the man who never follows the advice of the wicked, or loiters on the way that sinners take or sits about with scoffers.

Psalm 1:6, For Yahweh takes, care of the way the virtuous go, but the way of the wicked is doomed.

As you can see what is written in scripture about being scornful and/or a scoffer that their life is dark and wicked. They carry a lot of hate in their heart towards those that are trying to live a life loving one a another and working toward pleasing God.

The Book of Life – Is Your Name In It

Wisdom 4:19, ‘Soon they will be corpes without honor, objects of scorn among the dead forever. The Lord will dash them down headlong, dumb. He will tear them from their foundations, they will be utterly laid waste, anguish will be theirs, and their memory shall perish.’

Life is short, it’s like a puff of smoke in the wind, it vanishes quickly and once you die, it’s over. There is no way to repent or confess your sins or call on Jesus to save you. When you’re standing there at the great white throne judgement there will be the book of life and others books.

You will be judged by how you lived your life. Revelation 20:15, And anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake. Will your name be found in the book of life?

Reading on there is testimony of the wicked and scornful people that never gave up their pride for humility. Their eyes opened when they see the crimes of their wickedness brought against them at the last judgement.

The Eyes of the Wicked and Scornful People are Opened

Wisdom 4:20, ‘They will come trembling to the reckoning of their sins, and their crimes, confronting them, will accuse them.’

Wisdom 5:1-9 ‘Then the virtuous man stands up boldly to face those who have oppressed him, those who thought so little of his sufferings.

And they, at the site of him, will shake with cowards’ fear, amazed he should be saved so unexpectedly. Stricken with remorse, each will say to the other, say with a groan and in distress of spirit:

‘This is the man we used to laugh at once, a butt for our sarcasm, fools that we were! His life we regarded as madness, his ending as without honor. How has he come to be counted as one of the sons of God? How does he come to be assigned a place among the saints?

Clearly we have strayed from the way of Truth; the light of justice has not shone for us, the sun never rose on us. We have left no path of lawlessness or ruin unexplored, we have crossed deserts where there was no track, but the way of the Lord is one we have never known.

Arrogance, what advantage has this brought us? Wealth and boasting, what have these conferred on us? All those things have passed like a shadow, passed like a fleeting rumor.’

Stop Rebelling Against God

Wisdom 5:14, Yes, the hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind, like fine spray driven by the gale; it disperses like smoke before the wind, goes like the memory of a one-day guest.

This will be the future for many that have died and that are going to die because they refused to stop rebelling against God. Also by refusing to accept His blessed Son Jesus Christ whose life was sacrificed for us so that we may be forgiven of our sins. The second death awaits them.

Wisdom 5:15, But the virtuous live for ever, their recompense lies with the Lord, the Most High takes care of them. So they shall receive the royal crown of splendor, the diadem of beauty from the hand of the Lord; for He will shelter them with His right hand and shield them with His arm.

The virtuous ones will be rewarded with ever lasting eternal life. To be with God and Jesus Christ for eternity will be awesome beyond words.

The Wicked and the Evil-Doers Will be Destroyed

Wisdom 5:23, The breath of Omnipotence will blow against them and winnow them like a hurricane. So lawlessness will bring the whole earth to ruin and evil-doing bring the thrones of the mighty down.

According to scripture, in the end times there will be much lawlessness in the world. People will become lovers of them selves and so on. God is our only security in this world. We need Him to make it through whatever troubles come our way.

The Virtuous Man Should Have No Fear

These scriptures describe the difference between the godless man and the virtuous man. The virtuous man has nothing to fear from the attacks of the godless men of the world because the father of the godless men is Satan.

As long as we have God our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our life, we have nothing to fear. We are totally protected and armed with Faith, Truth and Love. God also shelters us from evil. Never have any worries, fears, or doubts, they can harm your faith and trust in the Lord.

There is a lot of end time revelation in these scriptures. Again, time is short, call on Jesus to come into your life. When it’s too late, it’s too late!

God Bless You!

Don’t Be Disobedient to God – Be Obedient to God and Live

December 5th, 2025 John P

Don’t Be Disobedient to God – Be Obedient to God and Live

Disobedient to God | Obedient | Righteousness | God's Grace

Obedience: is the act of following instructions or orders from a person with authority, or the trait of being willing to obey. (definitions.net)

The Fall of Man From Being Disobedient to God

Romans 5:19, ‘As by one man being disobedient (Adam) many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience (Jesus) many will be made righteous.’

Adam was disobedient to God by partaking of the fruit from the Tree of Good and Evil (Genesis 3:6). Jesus was completely obedient to God and did not sin at all. Jesus led His life according to the will of God and by being obedient to Him.

Through Suffering We Become Stronger

Hebrews 5:8, ‘Although He was Son, He learnt to obey through suffering.’

We will suffer as Jesus did by going through tests and trials, it’s part of being obedient and growing spiritually. Suffering shows us our weaknesses so that by this, we become stronger.

Tests and Trials

We can learn a lot from tests and trials. For instance, love, faith, trust, humility, about sin and the sins that we need to overcome. As we go through them we raise our awareness level, our conscience and we become more fine tuned.

God helps us get through these tests and trials by giving us grace. Also, we can’t let our pride get in the way, we need to be strong in our faith and humility. Pride can destroy any advancement you made in your spiritual growth.

There will be times when things get rough but, keep in mind the rewards that are waiting for those that succeed in overcoming themselves. Rewards such as, peace, freedom, joy, love and a sound mind.

2Cor. 10:5,6, ‘Every thought is our prisoner, captured to be brought into obedience to Christ. Once you have given your complete obedience, we are prepared to punish any disobedience.’

We Can Only Serve One Master

Romans 6:16, ‘You know that if you agree to serve and obey a master you become his slaves. You cannot be slaves of sin that leads to death and at the same time slaves of obedience that leads to righteousness.’

When we become attached to the things of this world, we become slaves of this world and disobedient to God. All that the world has to offer like, materialism, pleasures, desires, lust, envy and covetous just to name a few.

The World is Nothing but Vanity

The world is nothing but vanity, full of emptiness and death. The world can’t give you peace, joy, and happiness and if you think it does, it’s only temporary. One true thing that the world will bring that’s inevitable is death. It can’t give you life like God can.

We have to choose what Master we are going to serve; God or the world. You can choose the world which will leave you empty and naked or you can choose God and Jesus which will give you everlasting eternal life full of love, joy, peace and happiness. It’s all up to YOU!

Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God

Matthew 6:33, ‘Set your hearts on His kingdom first, and on His righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well.’

Ask God to bring you to repentance so He and Jesus can help you change your lifestyle and be free from the bondages of this world. So, if you are feeling lonely and empty inside, call on Jesus to help you out of the darkness and into the light.

Learn Not to be Disobedient to God and not to Rebel Against Him

Romans 6:19, ‘If I may use human terms to help your natural weakness: as once you put your bodies at the service of vice and immorality, so now you must put them at the service of righteousness for your sanctification.’

1Peter 1:14, ‘Do not behave in the way you liked to before you learnt the Truth; make a habit of obedience: be Holy in all you do, since it is the Holy One (God) who has called you, and scripture says: ‘Be Holy, for I am Holy.’

In order for us not to be disobedient to God, we need to humble ourselves and acknowledge our sins. We are all sinners and we have to become aware of the sins that we commit.

We have to be completely honest with ourselves and admit the fact that we have broken the commandments that God laid out for us. Jesus also gave us two new commandments tat we need to practice.

We need God’s grace, we can’t do this on our own. God will also give us the faith we need in order to avoid spiritual death. Jesus will show us the way because He is Truth and the Life.

Pagans Seek Unspiritual Things and Christians Seek Spiritual Things

Instead of seeking and storing up treasures that you desire that will bring pleasure(s) in your life, seek and store up treasures in heaven that will bring you life.

Matthew 6:19-21, ‘Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moths or woodworms destroy them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You can live your life deceiving yourself into believing that you are free to do almost anything you want or you can ask God to help and teach you how to prepare yourself for heaven.

Disobedient or Obedient?

The wages of sin are DEATH and being obedient to God is LIFE. Your choice.

God Bless You!

Galilean Wedding | Don’t Reject Jesus Christ’s Invitation

April 5th, 2025 John P

Galilean Wedding – Communion – End Times

Galilean Wedding

Galilean Wedding | Jesus Bride | Pure White Robe

In Galilee, when a man wants to ask a woman to be his bride, the man and his father meet the woman and her father in town where there will be many witnesses. The father of his son brings with him a written covenant with stipulations that he will read to the woman that his son wants to marry.

After the covenant is read, the son will then offer a cup of wine to the woman. If the woman takes the cup and drinks from it then she accepts his proposal of marriage and if not then she rejects his offer.

Since she accepted to marry him, he will then go and prepare a place for her and him to live. The son will build an addition onto his father’s home. The bride to be will need to go and find the finest, pure white linen to make a wedding gown with. Back in the day of Jesus, the material for the gown was hard to come by.

The Time of His Coming – Go Get Your Bride

Now the bridegroom or the bride has no idea when the wedding is going to take place, only the father of the bridegroom knows. This usually takes about a year for a Galilean Wedding.

Matthew 24:36, ‘But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father only.’

Then, one night, the father of the bridegroom wakes him up and says, ‘It’s time, go get your bride.’ The two of them walk out into the street and head towards the place where the bride is staying. On the way there, the bridegroom is blowing his horn to alert the bride and all the people that were invited to the wedding that it is time.

Wedding Feast – Galilean Wedding

When the bridegroom gets his bride, they go to his father’s house for the wedding and the feast. After they have arrived and the guests have entered the house, they shut the doors and lock them. No one will be able to enter or leave for seven days. Not all those that were invited will make it to the wedding before the doors are shut.

Matthew 25:10-13, ‘Those (bridesmaids) who were ready went in with Him (Jesus) to the wedding hall and the door was closed. The other bridesmaids arrived later. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said ‘open the door for us.’ But He replied, ‘I tell you solemnly, I do not know you.’ So stay awake you do not know either the day or the hour.’

Don’t Reject Jesus Christ’s Invitation – Galilean Wedding

Many people have rejected the invitation to the wedding and some did not prepare themselves for the time of the wedding when God said, ‘It is time’. When Jesus comes for you, are you going to be awake or asleep? Are you going to be able to put on a pure white robe? (Rev. 7:9) Did the oil in your lamp run out? (Matthew 25:1-13).

Matthew 26:27-28, ‘Then He took a cup, and when He had returned thanks He gave it to them, ‘Drink all of you from this,’ He said ‘For this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins’. Jesus also said, ‘Do this in remembrance of Me’.

When we take the cup and drink from it, we are accepting Jesus’s proposal, the new covenant. He gave up His life for us, now we need to give up our life for Him. That is how the covenant needs to work just like a marriage. To be in union forever. Jesus is preparing a place for us, we need to prepare ourselves for Him otherwise He is not going to know us. Is there a pure, white robe waiting for you?

God has a Room to Keep Us Safe

John 14:1-4, ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house; if there were not, I should have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me; so that where I am you may be too. You know the way to the place where I am going’.

Matthew 6:6, ‘But when you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.’

Isaiah 26:20-21, ‘Go into your rooms, my people, shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed. For, see, Yahweh will soon come out of His dwelling, to punish all the inhabitants of earth for their crimes. The earth will reveal its blood and no longer hide its slain.’

Rev. 3:10-11 ‘Because you kept my commandment to endure trials, I will keep you safe in the time of trial which is going to come for the whole world, to test the people of the world. Soon I will be with you: hold firmly to what you already have, and let nobody take your prize away from you.’

Jesus Turns Water Into Wine

Read John 2:1-11, These scriptures are about the first miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding at Cana in Galilee. They ran out of wine before the seven day wedding ceremony was over. In a Galilean Wedding ceremony all people involved in the ceremony, including guests had to remain there for seven days.

No one was allowed to enter or exit the home of where the ceremony was taking place. No one could go out and get more wine so they had to ask Jesus for His help.

The End Time is Near

Matthew 24:29-31, ‘Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven; then too all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet to gather His chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.’

1Cor 15:51-53 ‘I will tell you something that has been secret: that we are not all going to die, but we shall all be changed. This will be instantaneous, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. It will sound, and the dead will be raised, imperishable, and we shall be changed as well, because our present perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality.’

This is what needs to happen before we join Jesus in heaven. We do not know when He is coming for us but, we better have our robes cleansed, pure white, ready and waiting for Him. Our faith needs to be tested and true in order to succeed making it through the trials that we experience growing spiritually. This way, the Lord will keep us as He says, ‘Safe in the time of trial that is coming for the world’.

Artificial Intelligence | AI | Knowledge and Wisdom of God

July 21st, 2024 John P

AI | Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence?

AI | Artificial Intelligence | Wisdom and Knowledge from God

“Artificial intelligence, in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.” Wikipedia

Why seek Artificial Intelligence that is from a machine rather than from the One true God who is real and gives out Wisdom and Knowledge freely?

The Takeover of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is showing up all over and it’s taking the place of many programs that we had to create and/or run. Soon, we won’t have to do anything, you type in some information and AI will do it for you.

Just think, oops my mistake there won’t be any need to think because AI will be doing that for us. Okay, just imagine, oops there I go again, we won’t need to imagine anymore either because AI will do that for us as well. (more…)

Thought Process | Temptation | Negative Thoughts

Thought Process and Temptation

The Thought Process and Temptation War

Thought Process | Temptation | Negative Thoughts | God Jesus Holy Spirit

Battle Your Thoughts by Changing Your Thought Process

Ephesians 6:12,13, ‘For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the Sovereignties and the Powers who originate the darkness in this world, the spiritual army of evil in the heavens. That is why you must rely on God’s armor, or you will not be able to put up any resistance when the worst happens, or have enough resources to hold your ground.’

Pray to Jesus and ask Him to clothe you in the armor of God and the helmet of salvation and the double-edge sword of truth and the shield for protection against your enemies. Pray always to God for strength to resist any and all temptations and self-indulgences and ask for help with your thought process.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5, ‘We live in the flesh, of course, but the muscles that we fight with are not flesh. Our war is not fought with weapons of flesh, yet they are strong enough, in God’s cause, to demolish fortresses. We demolish sophistries (deceptive reasoning), and the arrogance that tries to resist the knowledge of God; every thought is our prisoner, captured to be brought into obedience to Christ. Once you have given your complete obedience, we are prepared to punish any disobedience.’ (more…)

Is God’s Word Darkness?

May 13th, 2024 John P

Is God’s Word Darkness?

God's Word is Darkness to the Flesh | Light of Life | Jesus

Is God’s Word Darkness to the Flesh?

God’s Word is darkness to the flesh because the flesh belongs to the world and the world is darkness. The flesh knows no truth, it keeps the truth locked up in the soul. The flesh is nothing more than pride, it wants to cater to itself first. It rebels against God because God’s way is the opposite of the way the flesh wants to live and be.

The flesh knows very little or nothing about God’ Word, sin or repentance, and when your conscience tries to tell you that something is wrong and you want to do it anyway. You try to think of a way to justify that there is nothing wrong so that you can do it without feeling guilty. The flesh is always seeking the temporary happiness of what the world has to offer. Sometimes, the flesh will stop at nothing to acquire that happiness. (more…)

They say that in the book of Revelation we are at a time when the next prophetic event to take place will be the peace treaty in Israel that involves the antichrist. Once this takes place, it is supposed to start the seven year Tribulation period.

Daniel 9:27 ‘He will make a firm covenant with many for the space of a week; and for the space of one half-week he will put a stop to sacrifice and oblation, and on the wing of the Temple will be the disastrous abomination until the end, until the doom assigned to the devastator.’ (more…)

Forgiven Us Our Sins | Forgive Them | Sinners to Repentance

Forgiven Us Our Sins Podcast

Forgiven Us Our Sins | Forgive Them | Sinners to Repentance

Acknowledge Your Sins and Take an Inventory of Yourself

1John 1:9, ‘But if we acknowledge our sins, then God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong.’

When we acknowledge our sins, not only do we admit that we are a sinner, but also see the sins that we commit. Take an inventory of yourself and write down your sins. Ask Jesus to help you recognize the sins that you commit so that we can stop rebelling against God.

In James and Psalms it says, Jas. 5:15,16, ‘So confess your sins to one another.’ Psalms 32:5, ‘At last I admitted to you I had sinned; no longer concealing my guilt, I said, ‘I will go to Yahweh and confess my fault. And you, you have forgiven the wrong I did, have pardoned my sin. (more…)

Sin is Disobedience to God, His Law and His Commandments

What is Sin?

Sin is Disobedience | Hell | Lake of Fire

Sin can be complex and confusing. There are such a multitude of sins that can cause different consequences to us when they are committed. Sometimes, we don’t even see the consequences of sin because they may happen to us later on when the time is right. We don’t recognize that the bad thing that happened is the result of a sin we committed in the past. This is one of the reasons why we need to learn about sin. (more…)

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and The Tree of Life

In the Garden of Eden where God had placed man, who was known as Adam and Eve were two specific trees. One was called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the other was called the Tree of Life.

God had told Adam that he could eat the fruit from any tree in the Garden of Eden. But, do not eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He told him that the day he eats the fruit from this tree that he would most surely die (Genesis 1:16,17). (more…)
