~ Jesus brings relief ~

Worry is blind and cannot discern the future. But Jesus sees the end from the beginning, and He has prepared His way to bring relief.

The Tongue

THE TONGUE

Balanced like a priceless spinning wheel
The feelings of a man inside his soul doth reel.
So keep respectfully some distance apart
And never crudely shock another person's heart.

Indeed don't get too familiar with anyone you know,
For senseless jests have often turned a friend into a foe.
What to you may be some amusing joke,
Could well upset a host of other folk.

So keep you language clean and don't offend
Remember your little tongue can make or break your friend.
Flippant idle words, who can control the tide
They start a flowing all unseen inside.

And remember when all is said and done below
The true worth of a man will only show
Not so much by what he had to say
But how he lived his life from day to day!



Happy Sabbath ye of Spirit and Heart who worship our LORD and Saviour, in Spirit and Truth!
With Love, Brother Robert
AMOS 3:3
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

They are the Ten Commandments, not ten suggestions !!!

FYI...
The Greatest Commandments
Many times I hear Christians saying that the two greatest commandments that Jesus gave replaces the ten commandments of the Old Testament. Is this true? In a word, no! Because Jesus was merely summing up the ten commandments, not replacing them. It's so clear when you study the New Testament, that Jesus exalted the ten commandments and gave new meaning to them. He did not do away with them and replace them with "another law".
Matthew 22:37-40 ...'Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.'
Did you know that Jesus above is quoting from the Old Testament? And that these same words were given to Israel right after the law was given? ... Deuteronomy 6:5 ...'And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.' ... So tell me this. If Jesus was replacing the ten commandments with the two greatest commandments, then how come we also find the greatest commandment in the Old Testament, right after the law was given? The truth is, Jesus was showing us the CONTINUATION of God's moral law found in the Old Testament and summing it up as a LAW OF LOVE, not replacing it. Of course we are talking about the moral law here, not the ceremonial laws which Christ did away with at the cross (Colossians 2:14).
The Pharisees were very meticulous about keeping the laws of God, ALL 613 of them. But the problem was, they lost sight of the true meaning of their relationship with God, which was love. They completely lost sight of loving God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength, and the law just became this "thing they had to do" in order to be saved. Hence why they were very legalistic. Without that love for God, the external observance of God's Commandments becomes worthless legalism. THIS IS WHAT JESUS WAS TEACHING THEM.
There must first be love in the heart before a person can, in the strength and by the grace of Christ, begin to keep the precepts of God's law. Obedience without love is worthless, which is exactly what the Pharisees practiced. But where love is present, a person will automatically set out to order his life in harmony with the will of God as expressed in His commandments (John 14:15; 15:10).
Obedience does not lead to love, but love DOES lead to obedience.

By saying "Love the Lord with all thy heart, soul and mind", Christ is revealing that the love of God, if truly present in us, will permeate every aspect of our being.
Hang the Law on These Two Commandments
Now many Christians love to quote the verse where Jesus says "on these two commandments hang the law and prophets" to suggest that the law is now "hung" upon the cross and has been done away with. Sure, the ceremonial laws which needed the earthly priestly service was hung upon the cross and is done away with in Christ, but not the ten commandments. By saying "the law and the prophets", Jesus is talking about the Old Testament, and by saying "hang them on the two greatest commandments", He is merely summing up the Old Testament and God's will for us as LOVE GOD SUPREMELY, and LOVE EACH OTHER.
God is not saying that ALL the laws are now hung on the cross and abolished. And the fact that Jesus also said "prophets" proves that he was not doing away with the ten commandments, because we STILL NEED THE PROPHETS TO INTERPRET END TIME EVENTS. So how could the prophets be hung on the cross and done away with? It's impossible! The same goes with the ten commandments, which is summed up by saying the first four are to do with loving God and the last six are to do with loving each other.
Jesus didn't say hang the law and prophets on the cross. He said hang them on these two greatest commandments. In other words, if we are truly keeping these two commandments, then we will keep the ten commandments and what the prophets said.
We've already shown that Jesus was quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5 when quoting the greatest commandments. And Deuteronomy is right after the second reading of the ten commandments. So did all the law hang upon the greatest commandments in the Old Testament? Of course it did! What Moses was saying back then, and what Jesus said in the New Testament is if we love God supremely and love each other as ourselves, then we will keep all Ten Commandments. THIS INCLUDES THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT that the majority of Christians have rejected.
Two Greatest Commandments Replace the Ten?
So does loving the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength END any of the ten commandments? No of course not. This teaching that the ten commandments have been done away with or replaced is from Satan. And the reason Satan fell is because pride arose in his heart and he rebelled against the law of God. And he is making every effort to convince us that it is ok to rebel against God's great moral law contained in the ten commandments. Which is why he has put many of his own "theologians" in place to discredit God's law and replace it with a "wishy washy" love that doesn't produce good works or obedience to God.
Take a look at what Paul says about the commandments to do with loving each other.
Romans 13:9-10 ...'For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, you shall love your neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.'
Do you see? Paul is SUMMING UP the 6 commandments to do with loving your neighbor into one command. But does this replace and do away with those 6 commandments? Of course not. Paul is just summing them up and showing that they are commandments of love. And that is exactly what Jesus was doing with the two greatest commandments.
The two greatest commandments in no way do away with the ten commandments written by God's own finger on the stone tablets. Those ten commandments of love (first four about loving God, and the last six about loving your neighbor) still stand today, including the 4th commandment to do with the sabbath day.
So in summary, if you truly love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul, then you will be fulfilling (keeping) the first four of the ten commandments, and if you truly love your neighbor as yourself, then you will be fulfilling (keeping) the last six of the ten commandments. This is the Bible truth about the two greatest commandments.
Hope and Pray you were Blessed :)

Jesus is the only way !!!

Man is only mortal, and while he feels himself too wise to accept Jesus, he will remain only mortal.
Hope and pray you were blessed.

Satan the fiery serpent, know your enemy.

Satan the Fiery Serpent!

Readings:
Genesis 3, Isaiah 14: 12: 17

1. Symbols / Icons

Men of all nations use signs, symbols and icons to illustrate and convey ideas and messages. For example:

• The hourglass icon in computer programs means - wait, an action is being performed.
• The wine glass sign on a postal parcel means - handle with care.
• The sword is the universal symbol of war.
• An innocent lamb is a symbol ofYeshua the Messiah.

2. Leviathan the Serpent

This Sabbath I want to tell of the deadliest symbol of all, the serpent!The 'serpent' symbolizes Satan the Devil. In ordinary warfare a general would win few battles if he didn't understand his enemy. Ignorance of the enemy's strengths and weaknesses could spell disaster. It is the same in spiritual warfare. Ignorance of the Devil, the constraints he works under, his strong points and the tactics he employs could all prove fatal. Notice what the Scriptures say about Satan's power to deceive.

Revelation 12:

9: “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, whichdeceiveth the whole world…!”

3. Satan’s Deception

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a snake? Next time you visit a Zoo do so and you will be surprised. Unlike a cow's, dog's or bird's eyes, the eyes of a snake tell of cold intelligence; just like the eyes of a criminal. A snake looks at you as though it were sizing you up; as though it knows exactly what you are thinking and that were it not for the cage, it could and would kill you in a moment. Satan is like that. He can size us up in an instant; and were it not for Yahweh's protection, Satan could kill us all in a flash. Satan's main weapons areblatant falsehood, innuendo, insinuation and doubt. His first attack on mankind was to plant a doubt in Eve's mind:

“Yea, hath God said?”
(Genesis 3: 1) In other words: Is that what God really said? Are you sure He is telling you all the facts?
How can you be certain that He's not keeping you in ignorance about something important? Perhaps He fears you will become like Him; or even overtake Him in knowledge and wisdom? And since knowledge is power, perhaps God is afraid that you will overtake Him in power? Have you considered that possibility?
Eve was taken in with Satan's reasoning; especially when

“the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die:”
(Genesis 3: 4) We all know what happened. From the very moment Eve began to doubt God's Word, she was on the slippery slope to death. It is exactly the same today. Those who begin to doubt theWord of God are on extremely dangerous ground.

Temptation

Satan's greatest temptations concern the divinity of Jesus Christ and the real message of the Word of God?   IsJesus really God's Son, God Incarnate? God in human flesh?And can we trust the Word of Godwhen it says that He is?

Matthew 4:

1: “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2: And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4: But he answered and said, IT IS WRITTEN, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6: And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7: Jesus said unto him, IT IS WRITTEN again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for IT IS WRITTEN, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.“

Here we have three temptations and in all three Jesus answered with theWord of God:
‘It is written.’ ‘It is written.’ ‘It is written.’ Do you suppose that was a coincidence?
The subject concerning how Satan has twisted and misquoted the Real Word of God .

Camouflage

Satan is also a Master at camouflage. He has convinced billions of people that he doesn't even exist. He has even managed to remove the only reference to his real name ‘Lucifer’from modern translations of the Bible.

Isaiah 14:

12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”

4. Satan’s War with Jesus Christ

The result of Eve and Adam's doubt was enmity. Not just enmity between God and Satan, that already existed; but enmity:

• Between the Woman (God's People) and Satan.
• Between those who believe there is such a thing as the inspired, preserved and infallible Word of God in existence today; and those who do not believe this to be the case. They believe that though every Bible contains portions of the Word of God, no version can be called the infallible Word of God!
• Between the ‘woman’s seed,’ theliving Word of God, Jesus Christ, the true Messiah; and theAntichrist, the Son of Perdition, the bogus Messiah.

This enmity will only cease when Satan is taken out of the way.

Genesis 3:

15: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and betweenthy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

This enmity separates those who believe the Word of God from those who doubt it. Satan's doubt will result in his expulsion from heaven. He will be driven out of heaven with the evil angelic host who have joined him in his doubt and rebellion. When that happens Satan will be confined to earth; and it will be here on earth that he will make his last stand against the written and living Word of God!

Revelation 12:

3: “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold agreat red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4: And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5: And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6: And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7: And there was war in heaven:Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8: And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

5. Satan’s Sins / Pride & Greed

Satan is guilty of many sins; but the worst sin, his first and greatest sin, was and still is - pride! But Satan is about to be humbled before the entire universe. (Job chapter 41) is aboutLeviathan the crooked serpent. That chapter symbolically describes Satan the Devil. It ends with these words:

Job 41:

34: “He beholdeth all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride.”

Satan's pride drove him to think that he was better than the LORD God who created him. Satan used his position as one of the covering cherubim to amass great possessions, wealth and power. The vehicle Satan used to achieve his goal was merchandise, trade, commodities, money, stocks and shares! These are the tools of his trade. Note these verses:

Ezekiel 28:

11: “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14: Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15: Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16: By the multitude of thy MECHANDISE they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.”

6. Satan’s Downfall & Death

Once an extremely handsome and exalted angel in heaven, Satan's pride overcame him. Once he was blessed. Now he is cursed and driven from the presence of the Almighty. Satan’s day is almost ended and he knows it.

Satan is Cursed

Genesis 3:

14: “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field...”

Satan is Humiliated

Genesis 3:

14: “...Upon thy belly thou shalt go: and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.”

This points to the humiliation of Satan the proud one. God is well able to humble the proud of heart; because pride is one of the first and worst sins ever committed. (Psalm 44: 25)

Psalm 72:

9: “... and his enemies shall lick the dust.”

Satan’s Offspring

Satan has offspring. They are likened to serpents, vipers! Their main objective in life is to exercise authority and power over others and to gain advantage by making merchandise of spiritual things.They have turned religion into a money-making business, a racket! They are a generation of vipers!

Matthew 21:	12: “And Jesus went into thetemple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13: And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
Matthew 3:	7: “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
Matthew 23:	33: “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”

A Short Time

Revelation 12:

12: “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye 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 knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

Satan’s Imprisonment in the Bottomless Pit

When Jesus Christ returns to earth Satan will be imprisoned in theBottomless Pit and held there during the millennium, the 1000 year Reign of Peace.

Revelation 20:

1: “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. 2: And he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. 3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed for a little season.”

Satan’s Destination … the Lake of Fire!

After the millennium Satan will be released from the bottomless pit. He will then go forth on his final spree of deception. He will then convince the unbelieving host (resurrected at thatsecond resurrection) that he was the one who brought them back to life. Having believed Satan all their lives, they will again believe his word and join him in an all out battle against God and His people. This futile attempt will end with Satan and his followers being cast into the lake of fire!

Revelation 20:

7: “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed from his prison. 8: And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9: And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10: And the Devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

Satan’s Death

To be sure Satan has hurt the Son of God. He has bruised his heel. But in the final analysis it will be Satan who will have suffered the death blow. The seed of the woman (Jesus Christ) will bruise Satan’s head.This means that Christ will put Satan to death!

Genesis 3:

15: “...It (the seed of the woman, the Messiah) shall bruise thy (Satan's) head, and thou shalt bruise his heel,”

Yes Satan is scheduled for death, eternal death, death from which he will never return!
The Bible tells us that Satan is to beburned to ashes! I can almost hear people say: 'Isn't Satan immortal?' 'How can he possible die? He's an angel and angels don't die.'
The fact is, Satan is not immortal. He is going to die a horrible death in the 'Lake of Fire' and he knows it. The Bible tells us that God only hath immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). Let's find out what the Bible says about Satan's death.

Ezekiel 28:

17: “Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I WILL BRING THEE TO ASHES upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19: All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, andNEVER SHALT THOU BE ANY MORE.”

Isaiah 27:

1: “In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall SLAY the dragon that is in the sea.”

7. The Serpent’s Sting & the Antidote

The whole human race has been stung by the fiery Serpent Satan. It's a fatal sting; but there is one cure. If you fail to apply that cure, you will most certainly die. That cure is to look to the Saviour, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree.”
(1 Peter 2: 24) What this means is that the Lord Jesus Christ shouldered the sins of humanity as though they were His own sins! And though in Himself He was sinless, yet by the very act of shouldering man's sins He appeared to Almighty God His Father as asinful serpent worthy of death! This almost incomprehensible spiritual transaction was dramatised in the following story.

Numbers 21:

5: “And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 6: And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7: Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8: And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9: And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

John 3:

14: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

What does this all mean to us living in the 21^st century?   It means this:

• We have all been stung by the Fiery Serpent Satan.
• It is a fatal sting. But there is a cure - only one!
• That cure is to Look to Yeshua, (Jesus) the One who bare our sins on that cursed tree - the cross!
• Don't delay; because the venom of death is coursing through your veins at this very moment; and it's only a matter of time before you die.So look to the Saviour before it's too late! Believe on Him, Trust Him with your life. All it takes to live is a single look, a single prayer! What could be easier?   For further information see Salvation.

Once you put your faith in the Saviour, you need never fear thefiery serpent again; nor his offspring the 'brood of vipers,' that is, those who make merchandise of religion and who are described in Scripture as the 'children of the Devil.

Luke 10:	19: “Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
James 4:	7: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

AMEN!

In the Son’s Name — For the Father’s glory.
