The Final Conflict Between Good and Evil. Part [1] 05/09/2024 (Evening thought)

Revelation 12: 12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knows that he hath but a short time.

As a general rule, we try to avoid doing cute Bible studies, where smooth things are spoken to soothe itching ears. Those watered down truths which are tailormade to suit the masses of people, and those cute doctrines that do not stir the conscience, nor awaken persons to the urgency of the moment, are to be strictly avoided, by persons who are called to preach the everlasting Gospel to our generation.

Our first passage tells us that as the final conflict of the ages looms into view, devils will rage as roaring lions, and because they know their time is short, it is inevitable that the heat of the furnace will soon be turned up several notches, with the remnant people of God being the special targets of attack.

So, if you find that your troubles are increasing quite significantly of late, if you have recently observed a spike in the number of attacks against your person, and if there is an unusual amount of difficulties, and trials heading your way, know for sure that the devil will be targeting the remnant people of God, as his universal rule is challenged.

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Why God Created Lucifer. Part [16] 05/08/2024 (Morning thought)

Joel 3: 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

Everything we deliberately decide to do etches itself into our characters and if persons were to habitually choose the good and refuse the evil, there will come a time when all our decisions would be permanently baked into our characters, and then it will be, if we have chosen the right, that God could safely take us to heaven, knowing the we would not give Him any more trouble for eternity.

[MS. 72 1895] The light has been given me that the force of habits becomes character. No single action becomes character, but a repetition of the same thing, if evil, becomes a difficult thing to manage. Imperceptibly the inclination to do evil that is not resisted is indulged again and again until evil words escape from the lips as poisonous reptiles. Their thoughts, their imaginations, like the inhabitants of the old world, become evil and that continually.

We therefore end with two passages of Scripture to both encourage us and warn us of the very serious consequences of our choices and decisions. And, we hope and pray that God will enable, and strengthen us to choose in harmony with that which is right.

Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: 28 And a curse, if you will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
