“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning (mocking) its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” -Hebrew 12:2-3
Confidence Amidst Concern
LAYMAN’S NOTES:
Having some technical difficulties with the program’s fonts we thank you for your support.
There are three main facets of religion that have poured its influence into the minds of humankind. These three religions have been Influenced by the name of one man and one man alone. The name Yeshua HaMashiach in whom we call Jesus the Messiah.
The Orthodox Jews denies Him, ‘He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him’ -John 1:11. “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.’ -Psalm 118:22, “Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” -John 7:42
The Catholic Church (Rome) memorialize Him in the Gregorian Calendar with a birthday party called Christmas by depicting Christ as a child in a manger. Also, a funeral by depicting the King of Kings who died on a Roman’s crucifix called Easter ‘And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:7; And when he had apprehended Him, he put Him in prison and delivered Him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep Him; intending after Easter [Passover] to bring Him forth to the people.‘ Acts 12:4
The Muslims believes in the Quran, and it says that Yeshua was just a messenger and/or a Prophet.
The second discourse (33-63) was revealed in 9 A.H. on the occasion of the visit of the deputation from the Christians of Najran. Quran 3:33-63; Surah
“When the angles said, ‘O Mary, Indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary-distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought nearby. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be the righteous.’ ‘Remember’ when Allah said, “O Jesus! I will take you and raise you up to Myself. I will deliver to you from those who disbelieve and elevate your followers above the disbelievers until the Day of Judgment. Then to Me you will ‘all’ return, and I will settle all your disputes.’ “Our Lord! We Believe in Your revelations and follow the messenger, so count us among those who bear witness.”
All three Religions bear witness about a man who lived and died amongst a cloud of witnesses. It does not matter which side of a table you have chosen to sit at you are still a witness rather you are heading towards Eternal damnation or Everlasting life. Can a prophet of the Lord lie, this was explained when Yeshua asked,
“When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” So, they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets., He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16
Eventually, this is a question that the whole world must consider within themselves one day, Who Do You Say That Yeshua Is? We are in a world where people believe you can have a relationship with God through algorithms and videos. These outlets are informative but not the greatest way to learn of the Son of God He is expecting much more from us. Jesus desires a relationship and by spending three years with His disciples who all known Torah. Now, he clearly needs to show them how to have a relationship with the living Torah, and only the Lord can inscribe the living Torah upon our hearts for we have learned that one of His disciple’s named Judas was of Satan.
"Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 16:17 social media is not God. It is a programmed that was design by flesh and blood, and having your name written on a social media platform like Facebook and etc., is not the same as having it written in the Lamb's book of LIFE. "He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels." -Revelation 3:5; Philippians 4:3
People do not go to their closet anymore and pray they go log in, form or join groups that will allow them to think they are invisible to the outside world, but technology denies that. Do you not know that bad company corrupts you no matter how one may engage in it. "Do not be deceived: “Evil company (communication) corrupts good habits.” 1 Corinthians 15:33, "He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." Proverbs 13:20
You are a fool to believe you can play with demons or the devil and not owe Satan for the entertainment cost. Imagine an Officer of the Law who has sworn under oath to protect and serve has no moral foundation of right and wrong. Eventually, their true character will begin to outshine their badge, uniform and any sworn oaths. What makes it worst is that social media allows evil and jealous hearts to engage directly in hearsay, gossip and slander while hiding their legal identity to their followers, and if that is the cast every electronic device has now become a witness against them.
God sees every action and depending on that action it could bring blessings or cursing onto a whole department. Putting your fellow comrades in spiritual danger because you think Yahweh do not see the rotten spot in your heart. REPENT It is a Scientific fact that one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch. "No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him." -2 Timothy 2:4; 1 Corinthians 9:25-27 "I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3
In other words, if an employee's steals from their business they are curse and the business is affected indirectly due to that employee's lack of moral judgment, but if an employee gives from what he or she receives out of their labor back into their community. It increases the spiritual blessings of that business and their customers as well; do not take my word it is written in the holy scriptures.
Let the world remain fools if they chose too, let them stay mad at every wind of doctrine that flies across social media. People will call you crazy, but they will not tell you what that person is crazy about. It is okay to be crazy about one MAN who has been revealed to us by a great CLOUD of witnesses over 2000 years ago. A man who DIED on Passover, the Lord's Day, was BURIED on Unleavened Bread, the Lord's Day and was RISEN on First Fruits, the Lord's Day.
When the world contests the bible on social media feeds the church does not say a mumbling word. When the atheists challenge your experiences, you lose heart and cannot name one scripture that lives inside of you that you have experienced beyond just quoting. Have it not already been said that nobody’s opinion can outweigh the experienced you have with the living word of God. Are you scared to be called crazy by flesh and blood, by people who sacrificed their daily lives for Algorithms, gossip, lust, slender and false ideologies.
In mid 2019 when Yahweh showed me a dream to get my house in order for the devourer comes, I had no clue he was talking about Covid. I began to follow the biblical perspective of being a follower of Christ. When the Bible speaks of your house it is not talking about your household because everybody in your household or on your job is not going to heaven. “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.” Matthew 24:40; Luke 17:34-36
This was not my first vision, nor will it be the last one, but I shared it with my wife that I was going to respect the biblical diet, and she came aboard. It was time to get off the Chitlins-Circuit spiritually speaking that includes every syndicated motivational speaking ministry that avoids preaching the Kingdom of God and just like any kingdom that has mechanism put in place to protect and serve, the Lord’s Kingdom has established mechanism also.
When I say no one in our household has come under the sickness of Covid, taking any concoctions nor been diagnosed to have any symptoms of it. We are still thankful every day to have faith, in the face of death. However, many lost members in their families or have long term symptoms today because of it. I saw many in long lines waiting on a Covid shot a few years ago now instead of being humble many are acting like they did not lose heart and succumb to the fears of death. People get onto these talk shows and tell people of how friends and family members that have passed away from this terrible plague.
Now, many get onto social media acting like, the Covid shot turned them into Superman and Wonder Woman. The same fear you had then is the same fear who will have tomorrow until you become ALL IN with the Lord’s Truth. When the road gets tuff, or the kitchen gets to hot you cannot lose heart. Take notice the next time an unbeliever or atheist challenge a babe in Christ concerning their belief online or deny Christ. They are not goanna to say one word but let someone come in and give them rightfully divided scripture watch that same professing Christian go to war.
The world does it too they get on social media and find someone that was filmed not in their right mind at that given time. Then find that individual sitting on a train or in the street clothes in their right mind most likely homeless. Then confronts them about something seen on their social media feed or better yet their book of life, chasing narratives. They will not confront, the headhunters in that same area that is filmed on social media killing their own kind, but they have feet ready to avenge petty stuff.
Anyone who can invest energy in chasing simplicity does not reflect Christ. I would rather be looked at as crazy by a foolish world or babe in Christ, then to be called a fool by God. Who can avoid the real conflict which lies at the doorsteps of our own hearts. Noone. A friend shared with me that his wife was one of the CDC personnel who was fired. They did not go onto social media venting their frustrations they got onto their knees and within a weeks’ time that individual received a letter in the mailbox telling them to return back to work. They did not lose heart in the face of adversity so stop, praying to social media and begin praying to the living God.
Stop committing suicide because of what somebody says on social media those people and their cult followings love to prey on weak minded and vulnerable individuals from all professions and walks of life. Many are looking for something or somebody to make them feel important about their cause or themselves. Men stop being mama boys I was raised by a single mother myself for seven years, but she did not raise me to be a mother’s boy. Whatever bed I made she taught me to lie in it as well, I never had time for he says, and she says too busy being involved in the growth of my community. The wife and I would pass out skull caps on Candler Road to the homeless population during the winter months and we would fill them with pocket size bibles, toothpaste, deodorant from Walmart and $5 if we had it to give.
What spiritual foundation were you building in 2005 that your cloud of witnesses can see today growing and that is still seen as a self-sustainable witness in your faith today? You all should really vet the people you have on your team many are master at stealing, killing and destroying your faith. Is that all you got is followers who do not want to read so they judge the book by its cover; never knowing the full contents of anyone’s character or experiences.
People promoting boycotts through social media and have not put on one garment of sackcloth neither have they made any sacrifice or step down from current positions to prove to you that they are ALL IN on a political movement they can just hand you over a book cover because they know you are not going to read its contents. Branding or monetizing your names on social media is not sacrificing, if a religion instituted a 40 day fast from meat called Lent who gives anybody the rights to change it and make it something else to benefit you and not God, is vain glory. If you were not called to be an evangelist which is a type of king in the Old Testament and our New Testament example is Peter and Pual who went out on campaigns to win souls for the Kingdom of God. You are a pastor you must be invited by the Holy Spirit to do God's business outside of your kingdom. It is a foolish thing to lie on the Holy Spirit. What happened to Ananias and Sapphira when they unlawfully boycotted the provisions of God's Kingdom. Yahweh establishes the thrones of the earth according to the hearts of men. Is not your heart attacking the jobs of working families, also rather it is being done directly or indirectly the outcome will be the same lack on both sides of the table. Popularity do not move mountains faith does just ask the old folks who could not read and write well 50 years ago. It just came to me that many of the civil rights leader were in fraternities and sororities like many of the parents in my neighborhood were, but us kids did not know about their colors back then because they wore them in the heart's unseen to us but seen from the mountaintops.
The only colors we were exposed too was the love of their faith, a sandwich when hungry, water when we were thirsty, a hug or a kiss when we are going off to school and sheltering words from life passing storms. They accomplished everything that we can only dream of accomplishing for true community and social justice. Now many on social media saying we need to move forward while driving bumper cars themselves. But I am here today writing from my own experiences. It is a foolish thing for you to get in front of the Living God while avoiding Getting Your Own House in Order. It is written But, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33; Psalm 37:4
