Shepherd's Promise #12 The Forever Promise

I Will Dwell In The House Of The Lord Forever.
 
All of the Good Shepherd promises are "here and now" promises that clearly reveal our Lord/Shepherd cares about what's going on right here right now in this moment. Yup! Our God WILL supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, and He will do so this side of glory.
 
But there is still more:  All of us are terminal.  Sooner or later this journey will end, and we will go to our eternal reward or lack thereof:  As the Hebrew writer said, "It is appointed once for a man to die, and after this there comes the judgment."
 
 
Yet the Good Shepherd promises those who turn from their sin to the Good Shepherd Jesus... well... the best is yet to come. And this sheep peep David is convinced that the grave will NOT be his demise.  (So am I.) He knew that he would dwell in God's home place forever.
 
 
Jesus is the Good Shepherd who has laid down His life for the peeps who are God's sheep.  Interestingly enough he is also called "The Lamb of God" who takes away the sin of the world.  Because of Him, if you turn from your sin and follow Him (by faith) like David you will know that you too will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The "forever promise" will forever be your promise.
 
 
Settle the question of your relationship to the Son of God who is one with God, and you will settle the certainty question of your eternal destiny. Read John 3:16-17 until you "get this."  Do this and you will be...
 
 
Blessed 2day
And
Every day
All through Eternity.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
