Strangers In This WorldChristians all over the world will all be tempted in different ways. One problem we all ..... FIRST LOVE RECOVERY MINISTRIES
GLORYLAND
Numbers 14:21 (King James Version)
"But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."
Isaiah 11:9 (King James Version)
"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
What Whine Goes With Cooked Goose?Some who know me suggest I might be a wee bit absentminded at times. I prefer to think of it as simply being actively engaged in processing ..... Habakkuk 2:14 (King James Version)
"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
In a time that the earth seems set for self-destruction through global warming,international terrorism or the nuclear race,the prophetic destiny of the earth as stated in the three verses above seems impossible. But all things are possible with God(Mark 10:27),and to he or she who believes(Mark 9:23).
This is the only divine solution to the deepening and darkening emptiness in our world today.
Anyone can have a real part in the fulfillment of such a great destiny,by humbly entering into the everlasting covenant with God which is stated below:-
Jeremiah 31:33-34 (King James Version)
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Entry is only possible through the Lord Jesus Christ who shed his blood on Calvary to reconcile us back to God. This was necesary because sin had alienated man from God. Everyone is now commanded by God to repent from sin(Acts 17 :30) and believe on Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour(Acts16 :31). By reason of this covenant,man's relationship and fellowship with God is fully restored. With this restoration,grace is fully available to intimately know God,and then to faithfully express love for God in simple obedience to him. As one grows in grace(2 Peter 3 : 18),one seeks to say and do all things to the glory of God(1 Cor. 10 :31) just like one's Lord and Master as stated below:-
John 7:18 (King James Version)
"He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him."
A brief look at the fans of any pop idol will reveal that they always and only seek the glory of their 'icon'. This was vividly demonstrated before,during,and after the just concluded 'the Michael Jackson case' in the United States(June 2005). Every follower of Christ as a lover of God not only seeks God's glory but also carries and manifests God's glory(2 Cor. 3 : 18). God's glory is manifested through every christian by means of the gifts of the Spirit(1 Cor.12:6-10) and the fruit of the Spirit(Gal. 5 : 22-23).
This revelation is not the property of any single individual,ministry,denomination,network,or movement but belongs to the universal body of Christ in these last days.
Everyone has the choice to seize this golden opportunity today(2 Cor. 6 : 2). No matter how foolish,weak or dishonourable anyone may be,there is no excuse! God takes the worst of mankind from the 'junkyard' and transforms them to become a visible part of 'gloryland' as stated below:-
1 Corinthians 1:25-31 (King James Version)
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:"
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"
"And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:"
"That no flesh should glory in his presence."
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
"That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
Watch Your Language!I have a big mouth. If you have read my testimony, you know that I have struggled with panic attacks and an anxiety disorder .....
