Jesus vs. Religion

The Earth The Lower World

See Jer.4:23 , I beheld the earth, and lo it was without form, and void. To those who have their hearts in heaven this lower world, in comparison with that upper, still appears to be nothing but confusion and emptiness. There is no true beauty to be seen, no satisfying fulness to be enjoyed, in this earth, but in God only.____Matthew Henry


When someone is lonely, the first answer from other human beings is that you should get married. Some people get married and end up more lonely than they ever were. 


When we reach to get a glass of water from the faucet, we think about how polluted our water is that we drink.


We have so many negative things going on in our world that can bring depression and sickness and sadness. 
Sometimes we are happy one minuet and sad the next minuet. That's not happiness.


In heaven every thing will be perfect. We should seek the kingdom of God more than anything else. Why should we seek this world? It is the lower world filled with trials and tribulations. Heaven is the highest world. Stay connected to God.

Elijah and John the Baptist

St. Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and they wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. (16) And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. (17) And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

So in these verses, Elijah was not the Elijah that went to heaven on a chariot. It was John the Baptist that would come in the spirit and power of Elijah.

Mal. 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: (6) And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

In the fifth verse, it seems to be talking about the real Elijah the prophet coming back before judgement day. The fifth verse mentions Elijah the prophet. It did not mention the spirit and power of Elijah. The verse did not say that it would be another man. It seems to be saying that Elijah would come before the day of the Lord.

St. Matt. 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. (14) And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. (15)  He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Again, it seems that Jesus was speaking of John the Baptist. Some people seem to think that Jesus will be the Elijah that will come before the dreadful day of the Lord.

St. Matt. 16: 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do ye men say that I the Son of man am? (14) And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elisas; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. (15) He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? (16) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
(17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

St. Matt. 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, (2) And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. (3) And , behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. (4) Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make  here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

As you can see, Jesus is himself. He is Christ the son of God. Elijah is himself.

(10) And his disciples asked him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? (11) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. (12) But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall
also the Son of man suffer of them. (13) Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

To me, this means the Elijah the prophet will come before the dreadful day of the Lord, but Elijah in spirit and power which was John the baptist has already came. To others, this might mean something else.

Candi Staton - God Can Make Something Out of Nothing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candi_Staton





God Can make something out of nothing. He's the same today as he was yesterday. And if you don't believe me ask Moses about the red sea. Just ask the Hebrew Boys about the fiery furnace....

 

Sin Doesn't Live Here Anymore 


Sin doesn't live here anymore
Sin doesn't live here anymore
God's temple, it must be holy
I must be ready to meet him
That's why sin doesn't live here anymore

Nine Year Old Preacher Warns Church of Cain

From YouTube
Matt. 21:16 And said to him, Hear you what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?

The nine year old said, "Cain gave God an offering from the ground. The ground represents this world system. Cain did not remember that the ground was under a curse..." This 9 year old really had something to say. He preached a wonderful sermon and I know God is glad and rejoicing with his angels. This boy preaches just as good as an adult.

Dan Stevers - Elijah

From YouTube

Check out Dan Stevers Elijah! Looks like a great movie. I had written on one of my other blogs not long ago that there should be a movie about Elisha and Elijah. Looks like somebody has already thought about Elijah. This is only a preview movie. It would be nice to see a full length movie.

The Bible shows us that a day is coming when massive disease epidemics will ravage our world. Doctors and hospitals will be overwhelmed with the sick and dying. Those who have not learned to trust God will have nowhere to turn. But if you learn today to trust and obey God, you can be blessed perhaps even more than you realize!
