The Essential ASCENSION : The 3rd Essential Component of the Deliverance of Mankind from the Power of satan

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS began both to do and teach,  Until the day in which HE+ was taken up, after that HE+ through the HOLY SPIRIT had given commandments unto the apostles whom HE+ had chosen: 

To whom also HE+ shewed himself alive after His+ passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of GOD.... 

And when HE+ had spoken these things, while they beheld, 
HE+ was taken up; and a cloud received HIM+ out of their sight.

And while they looked stedfastly toward Heaven as HE+ went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;  Which also said,

Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? 

This SAME JESUS, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM+ go into Heaven.

The 3rd essential component of the deliverance of mankind from the power of satan was accomplished after the RISEN CHRIST had walked and talked and eaten broiled fish and a piece of honeycomb with His+ followers for 40 days here upon earth. 

The first component was, of course, Our LORD'S Crucifixion. The second component was His+ Mighty Resurrection. The third component was His+ Glorious Ascension. With these three works, The LORD JESUS CHRIST effected the deliverance of mankind from the power of satan to kill, steal, and destroy the souls of men. All three works were necessary.

His+ Ascension was essential according to His+ words in John 7:39 and John 16:7:

from John 7: 37-39 :
 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, JESUS stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto ME+, and drink.
38 He that believeth on ME+, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water.
39 (But this spake HE+ of the SPIRIT, which they that believe on HIM+ should receive: for the HOLY SPIRIT was not yet given; because that JESUS was not yet glorified.)


... and in John 16: 7 


Nevertheless I+ tell you the truth; 
It is expedient for you that I+ go away: 
for if I+ go not away, 
the COMFORTER 
 (PARACLETE, i.e., the HOLY SPIRIT) 
will not come unto you; 


 but if I+ depart, 
I+ will send HIM 
unto you.

That GLORIOUS  Ascension of CHRIST was the prerequisite for sending forth the HOLY SPIRIT to His+ followers ....sent by CHRIST from the FATHER... so that those who followed The LORD JESUS CHRIST could be endued with POWER from on High. 

For, 
without ME+, 
ye can do nothing. 

The Collect for AscensionTide

GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty GOD, that like as we do believe Thy only-begotten SON+, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, to have ascended into the heavens; 

SO we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with HIM+ continually dwell, WHO+ liveth and reigneth with THEE and The HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, world without end. Amen.

To all Serious Followers of JESUS ( Y'SHUA HA MASHIYACH) : 

Add your prayers to ours as we pray AGAINST the satanic black mass being "performed"  TONIGHT at Harvard University, under the auspices of the Cultural department.   

( More details coming shortly. Pray now! )

DETAILS from FoxNews.com:

 Harvard’s satanic “black mass” will go on, despite widespread condemnation from religious and educational leaders who say the event is an affront to the faithful.
The event, organized by the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club and the New York-based Satanic Temple, is to take place at an on-campus bar and is being billed as part of a "larger effort to explore the religious facets" that influence contemporary culture, organizers from the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club say. The ceremony has traditionally been performed by satanic cults to parody the Catholic church, and officials at the Archdiocese of Boston are furious that such an event could be held on the Ivy League school's hallowed grounds....

Nearly 400 Harvard students and 100 alumni have reportedly signed a petition opposing the event.
“This form of satanic worship not only ridicules the central practice of Catholicism, the Mass, but it also mocks and offends all who have faith in Christ,” the petition reads. “Far from being an event that promotes an understanding of “cultural practices,” it, in fact, promotes contempt for the Catholic faith and religion generally. We are Catholics, other Christians, and supporters of genuine tolerance and civility, and we are offended and outraged this event has been permitted to take place at Harvard.”

The New York-based Satanic Temple will be staging a black mass on Harvard University’s main campus...  Monday .

Satanic Temple spokesperson says his group contacted the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club to organize a re-enactment of a black mass based on the imaginings of French writer Joris-Karl Huysman in the novel “La-bas.” Huysman wrote the novel during the French Occult Revival of the 1800s.


The Satanic Temple, on the other hand, has been actively involved in the church-state debate in the past. 

Currently, the group is trying to plant a monument to Satan at the Oklahoma Capitol as an alternative to a Ten Commandments monument that has been there since 2012.



Although we at the Order of the GOOD SHEPHERD+ are not Roman Catholics, we applaud the firm stand that church organization is taking against this strong-hold of unclean activities. How strange it is that "freedom"  is so often defined as being "free" from the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob... and HIS standards of holiness.    

YHWH ( JEHOVAH ) is 
a man of war: 
the LORD is HIS Name !

Who is this KING+ of Glory? 
The LORD strong and mighty, 
The LORD mighty in battle. 

Who+ is this KING+ of glory ?
The LORD of Hosts*
( divine Heavenly warriors)

HE+ 
is the KING+ of Glory !
