THE ULTIMATE TERRORIST

 
 
The Ultimate Terrorist
    
ISIS, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah and other terrorists are spreading throughout the world in the name of their God "Allah."  They are bombing, brutalizing, stealing,  torturing, terrorizing, murdering, mutilating, molesting,  beheading and accomplishing all kinds of heinous activity so they can get to their heaven.  They sound a whole lot like someone else I know.  Listens to how Jesus, The Son of God,  describes such people as these:
 
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Jesus: John 8:44
 
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullJesus: John 10:10
 
      They are indeed terrorists, but the hidden power behind them is the Ultimate Terrorist... Satan.  For a time, they will be allowed to carry on the works of the Devil, as they torture God's people believing they do God's will.  Jesus predicted their time would come, and he foretold that they would do all this slaughter, especially against Jesus Disciples, thinking they would be doing the will of God. (See Matthew 24:9.) However, their end is going to surely come. (Revelation 20:7-10.)
 
How do I know this true?  Because, as the children's song says, "The Bible tells me so." Check out the following promises:
 
 
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the Devil's work.
1 John 3:8
 

And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he (Jesus)made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Colossians 2:15
 
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the Devil's work.
1 John 3:8
 
   Jesus clearly has defeated and destroyed the Devil's work.  Satan, and those who carry out his murderous mayhem,  will be forced to surrender to He who has destroyed the works of the Devil. That which was made possible on the Cross will be finalized on that final day.  And though it would have pleased God to have them repent, be saved and forgiven, they would have nothing of it.  They even chose to go to war against Him.  Their day is coming.  It is coming indeed.  Every one of their knees will bow, and everyone of their tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God The Father. 
 
 
    What can we do?  So pray for the suffering Saints around the world.  Undergird them with your prayers.  Pray for God's power to convict these who terrorize of their sins in hopes that they might repent. Daily put on God's Armor. (Ephesians 6:10-20.) Or clothe yourself in Christ daily. (Romans 13:11-13). Follow the guidance of The Apostle Paul. Take seriously what he says here:
 
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
 
 
 Be holy as God is holy.  There is a battle going on that is not against these flesh and bloods followers of the Ultimate T.  It is a spiritual battle.  And if we humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face, it will amaze you what God's mighty hand will do. Support those agencies that are trying to alleviate  suffering.  Encourage those who are in the seat of power to prevent those who would carry out the Ultimate Terrorist's  unjust behavior. Hold tightly to God's unchanging hand and know that God is in control.  Believe what is true.  Seek God's wisdom on how to best serve Him during these days that were foretold thousands of years ago by Jesus Himself. Recognize, that by the grace of God, "We shall overcome."

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
