The last of us

ישוע הוא אדון

ישוע הוא אדון

  • Saturday night ended in the form of a seriously aggressive migraine. My vision became blurry and through past experiences I knew what was to come. I took some pain medication said a prayer then laid down dreading the pain I expected to come. During the thick of the torment I hear voices in my head attempting to be angry at God. I hear: “Why would God make humans to endure such pain?” “Have I not hurt enough in this life?” “Some God I serve, huh.” The list goes on and on. But what was this voice? It was not mine. Why are these malevolent ideas attempting to persuade my spirit into agreement against God? Cautiously humbling myself amidst pain and anger. I thought about Job while during his sufferings he never cursed God. Transmuting what was within me, I speak out against any spirit of infirmity affecting my life. I ask God to avenge me. On the brink of vomiting from the intense pain. I run to the shower letting hot water hit my head in look for any type of relief. In the dark bathroom under the flow of water something beautiful happens that brought immense joy to my spirit. I think of John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” This verse in that moment caused a cheerful joyous bomb to go off in my heart. initiating a full on hands raised praise session in this dark bathroom shower. How can this be? This is uncanny human behavior. The spirit of God makes no logical sense in this world. This is unbelievable to me. You must understand I have felt major pains in this life. I’ve experienced torn ACL’s, Meniscus’s, Herniated discs, pinched nerves, and dislocated shoulders. I mean, the list goes on and on. But these aura migraines will always be a 10/10 on the pain meter to me. With all that said, knowing that the Lord has overcome the world already gives you hope. One day, He will wipe every tear from your eye. This revelation sustains you and gives you life. After this my symptoms started to reside. Returning to bed I fell asleep quickly and peacefully. Waking up the next morning my pain had disappeared completely Hallelujah! I am so thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ. That I am able to go through life with such love and comfort from the lord of the universe. Thou at times he may feel far, God is as close as the air you breath. I encourage all people that do not have a relationship with the Lord Jesus to Seek the Lord while he may be found! (Isaiah 55:6-7) “Seek the Lord while He may be found,
    Call upon Him while He is near.
    Let the wicked forsake his way,
    And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
    Let him return to the Lord,
    And He will have mercy on him;
    And to our God,
    For He will abundantly pardon.” I exhort anyone who does not know the Lord to open your heart up to your salvation. Be reconciled to your creator for his yoke is light. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

    Closing prayer: Lord, Jesus I thank you that you are the good shepherd who cares for us. I am grateful that in you Lord there is no lack. Continue to strengthen my spirit. lead me in your paths of righteousness for the days are evil. May I see many good days in the land of the living. Your will be done lord as it is in Heaven on earth Amen.

    Quote

    “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” -Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD)

    Summary:

    Augustine profoundly captures the essence of human longing and fulfillment, expressing that our deepest restlessness and sense of incompleteness persist until we find true satisfaction in God. This timeless truth reminds us that we were created for intimate relationship with our Creator, and only in His presence can our souls find lasting peace and purpose

  • Education about the Lord Jesus Christ and the knowledge of God is the process of getting one’s perception in alignment with reality. Humanity’s “progressive” mentality (intelligent thinkers, Oxford men) all education outside of the knowledge of Christ is not reality, rather the delusions of the 3rd dimension “mankind” which is manipulated and deceived by devils.

     At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in your sight.” Matthew 11:25 NKJV

    To believers:

    Do not think because God is using you that God is pleased with you! Do not think because God is using you that he endorses your lifestyle. Remember Samson who was set apart to be used by God. Samson lived in complete compromise to the instructions God laid out for his life through his nazarite vow. Samson had already touched dead flesh, and drank forbidden wine, but it wasn’t until his hair was cut the final instruction of his vow when the spirit of God left him. In his ignorance once captured Samson believed he would shake himself free as he had before but he had yet learned that his strength had left him. Judges 16:20

    The gospel prospers you, yet the new age prosperity gospel speaks of things from above in a shallow manner. In a way that grabs the ear through the corruption of the heart in carnally minded people. Leaving many believers easily thrown into a disturbance inwardly when  bad comes. “Above all else guard your heart for it determines the course of your life.” proverbs 4:23 NLT. God loves us and he will keep us as he surely kept me. What we may think of as punishment for our sins is much greater than that. Trials are purifying events, a deep cleaning of our own heart. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9. Do not fool yourself into thinking your heart will not lead you away from God. For self righteousness is blasphemous towards the Lord.

    The world and other religions call it “yin yang” but it is Good vs evil. What is controlling your being? The spirit of an individual is determined by his dominating thought patterns, aka “as a man thinketh in his heart so is he” proverbs 23:7

    “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” matthew 6:24

    “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Galatians 5: 16-18.

    The spirit abounds in you through alone time with God, light out weighs the darkness inside of your dwelling(body). As believers many are confused about this or feel wrongly about the word “effort”. Effort concentrated on works in an attempt to be weighed against the law is done in vain and blasphemous towards the Lord Jesus. Those that do this willingly sit under the same curse from the beginning. They have not yet come to an end of themselves through understanding the revelation of Jesus Christ. Believers who struggle with this should halt even partaking communion until the inward posture correctly acknowledges the truth about Christ, so that no one is drinking damnation onto themselves (1st Corinthians 11:29).

    Our Effort should be in our relationship with God and the knowledge of our savior Jesus Christ filling ourselves with Him, Then everything is added to you instantly in heaven. Your desires change and your heart is renewed clarity, peace, goodness, the beatitudes, anything and everything good is chasing you down. Your being is full of light which translates into this realm in which we are physically present. while our inner man is in full and constant communion with God the Father. This is walking in the spirit full of the power of God. When we ignorantly walk in darkness God’s power is there whispering into the ear looking down to see if anyone understands (psalm 53:2). Because of the trick of sin and walking in darkness our inward posture is no longer able to receive the power of God that’s been given to us for our lives. And when the kingdom of darkness sees a believer walking defeated an example must be made, evil desires to inflict pain and distress. Yet now know this child of God, darkness has no authority over you satan is already defeated he has lost! (Revelation 20:7).

    Believers along with non believers are in relationship with darkness and blame God when affliction comes. For where the one is the other follows there is no darkness without affliction. The serpent hides the truth from man in hope that the heart is infiltrated furthermore hardening to the point of no return. These are direct spiritual attacks on the soul and there are infinite subtle ways the enemy will strategically attack your soul. Man cannot protect himself; we must surrender everything to God. He promised his children the ones who have overcome the world by receiving his son Jesus Christ  rest and life in abundance. 

    Keep your faith until the end. We are the last ones, the ones who remain! 

    May we War with ferociousness !

    May we War Valiantly !

    Brothers and sisters nevertheless May We War!

  • The world is growing darker by the day. Compromise and corruption erode the very fabric of righteousness. We are called to stand—not as passive spectators, but as warriors in the army of the Living God. The battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). This is not a game. This is war.

    The Call to Arms

    Too many have grown complacent, numbed by the distractions of this world, lulled into a slumber of self-indulgence and apathy. But now is the time to wake up. Now is the time to shed passivity. We must take hold of the divine weapons God has given us (2 Corinthians 10:4). The battlefield is all around us—in our hearts, in our homes, in our communities, and beyond. Will we cower, or will we rise? 

    Anger at Sin: A Holy Fire

    There is a righteous anger that God calls us to embrace. It is a fury against the sin that seeks to enslave and destroy us. Jesus Himself overturned tables in the temple when He saw His Father’s house defiled (Matthew 21:12-13). If we claim to love what is good, then we must hate what is evil (Romans 12:9). Sin is not just a minor inconvenience; it is the poison that kills, the enemy that seeks to consume. If we do not declare war on it, we have already lost. 

    We Transform through battle/affliction

    This battle is not fought in human strength. It is won through the power of God working within us. He strengthened David against Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-47). He also empowered Gideon to overcome the Midianites with only three hundred men (Judges 7:7). God trains our hands for war—He purifies, strengthens, and equips us for the fight. Our mentality should be strong and courageous ready to stand against mighty afflictions.Now refinement is painful, but it is necessary. Every struggle, every hardship is an opportunity to be shaped into a warrior for Christ.

    Embrace the Tension

    This is not a gentle invitation—it is a call to arms. Rise up. Reject the lies of the enemy. Pray with authority. Live with conviction. Abandon sin like the plague it is and pursue holiness with everything in you. Let your life be a testimony of unwavering faith in the face of darkness. We are the last of us—the remnant who refuse to bow, the faithful who stand firm till the end.

    A Final Charge

    Do not be deceived; neutrality is not a choice. You either fight or you fall. God is raising up a generation that will not be silent, that will not compromise, that will not retreat. Will you be among them?

    Pick up your sword. Speak the word of God over all resistance. The war is here. And victory belongs to the Lord! Hallelujah!

    “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name.” – Exodus 15:3
