The BIRTH-RIGHT of HIS+ INCARNATION ....

ADVENT MEDITATIONS for 2014

 Scripture courtesy of www.biblegateway.com


Revelation 12:5  And she brought forth a MAN CHILD+, WHO+ was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her CHILD+ was caught up unto GOD, and to HIS throne.


+  +  +

This Royal ROD, this scepter, is used in Psalm 23 ... 
 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU+ art with me; THY+ rod and THY+ staff they comfort me... 

... and in Isaiah 11:4.  
But with righteousness shall HE+ judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and HE+ shall smite the earth: with the rod of His+ mouth, and with the breath of His+ lips shall HE+ slay the wicked.

+ + +

This Special SCEPTER like the world has NEVER SEEN BEFORE ~ His+ Royal Rod ~  is  unyielding.  

It is the birth-right
of HIS+ INCARNATION: 

JESUS, LORD at Thy+ Birth. 

His+ Royal Rod will come against all those who are UNYIELDING towards the LORDSHIP+ of the HOLY ONE+ of Israel. 

+  +  +

     Harken, , does not MY+ Word say, "... and with the froward, I+ will show Myself+ froward ? "   Does not My+ Word say, "... if ye walk contrary to ME+, then I+ will walk contrary unto you ? "

BEHOLD, I+ AM The LORD;  I+ change not. 
Turn ye, turn ye, ....  
O, why will ye die ... ? 

BEHOLD,  I+,
I have the keys of Hell and death!

+ + + 

The Rod of Iron in the Hand of The RISEN CHRIST will sift all nations. It will sift all religious organizations. It will sift each person carrying the name of CHRIST in his mouth. 

This Royal Rod will sift each nation by the TRUTH+ : What have you done to MY People, the ancient race who has brought forth The MESSIAH+ ? 

What have you done to MY People, MY+ little ones who have believed on ME+ and followed ME+ according to My+ Ways ? 

I granted you authority for a short time over MY+ People. How have you used that authority, O Egypt? O Sidonia ? O Tyre ? O current "city of baal" sitting on the Potomac? 

IT WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU. 

+  +  +

This Royal Rod will also sift every religious organization. 

What have YOU done to MY+ People, the ancient race whom I+ called forth to bring forth The MESSIAH ? 

What have you done to MY+ People, MY+ little ones who have believed on ME+ and followed ME+ according to MY+ Ways ?  

I+ placed you in authority over them to feed their souls and guide them away from the satan, to protect their lives. Have you done this ? 

IT WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU.  

+  +  +

O, WHOLE House of Israel, you call me "LORD, LORD" ... yet you do not do the things I+ say.  Is it merely the structure that I+ will be judging ?  Or will individuals be weighed in the balances, also ? 

What has each one of YOU who carry My+ Name, done with ME+, the promised CHRIST, The LIGHT+ of the World ? 

You have MY+ Word; did you give it freely to the world? 

You have MY+ Love; did you share it freely with the world? 

Alas... you have MY+ wrath... 
if you gave yourself more 
than you gave to ME+, in obedience.

+  +  + 

O Long-Suffering LORD Who+ became INCARNATE that we might become Holy, help me to turn my life around to the Living Light+, emptying myself to be filled with THEE+.  

I yield myself to THEE+, O HOLY ONE+, Who+ came once in humility but Who+ is returning in unquestionable KINGSHIP+ to this earth, to find a people prepared for THEE+. 

O, how I want to be among that number! 

This I pray, O LORD, in Thy+ Name and for Thy+ Sake. Amen

The ROD of IRON...

ADVENT MEDITATIONS for 2014

Courtesy of pravoslavie.ru



Revelation 12:5  And she brought forth a MAN CHILD+, Who+ was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her CHILD+ was caught up unto GOD, and to His throne. ...

+  +  +

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a BRANCH+ shall grow out of his roots: 

And the SPIRIT of the LORD shall rest upon Him+, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the  LORD

And shall make Him+ of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and HE+ shall not judge after the sight of His+ eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His+ ears:

But with righteousness shall HE+ judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and HE+ shall smite the earth: with the rod of His+ Mouth, and with the breath of His+ lips shall HE+ slay the wicked.

+  +  +

A Rod of Iron ?  An unbreakable Sceptre is the picture.   All nations will stand in fear of this Unbendable Rodand the ONE+ wielding it. 

The demons ruling Herod knew this; Herod could sense their agitating out-rage. 

“Kill that Babe!  Kill that Babe!”  they cried, whipping up Herod to order the slaughter of the little innocents of Bethlehem by his demonized men of war.

The marvel is 
that The LORD JEHOVAH 
refrained 
from slaughtering them !

How great and unfathomable is The FATHER’S love for mankind, for while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us . 

+  +  +
      
O CHRIST, THOU+ Who+ wast born to give men life, consecrate me to Thy+ use, for Thy+ purpose.  

Help me not to grieve nor hurt Thy+ long-suffering heart anymore.  

I thank THEE+ for Thy+ great mercy to terrible sinners, of whom I am the chiefest.  

Help me not to sin in thought, word, or deed anymore, for there is nothing hid from Thy+ eyes.

I consecrate my heart to THEE+, O dear Long-suffering SAVIOR, because I love THEE.+ 

Help me to love THEE+ to the utmost. 

In The Holy Name of JESUS, I pray. 
Amen

HE+ Was Born to CRUSH the HEAD of satan...

ADVENT MEDITATIONS for 2014

Scriptures courtesy of www.biblegateway.com

Revelation 12:3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her CHILD+ as soon as it was born.


+  +  +



This satan is ready to devour all flesh, everywhere. That is his self-ordained , self-centered mission. Voracious for human flesh, he knows that his time is limited. Every day brings him closer to the eternal lake of burning fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels. 

His MISSION: TO DESTROY the people who brought forth MESSIAH+ ...  and the people who received HIM+. 

The satan hates all men created in the likeness and image of GOD, but those two groups are especially targeted for his wrath ... because his time is short. 


+  +  +




         O LORD JESUS, The ONE+ Who+ was born to crush satan’s head and triumph over death ... from satan’s lies and on-slaughts, protect me.  

O VICTOR CHRIST, heal me from the love of lies, and cleanse my heart from the attraction of the values of men, inherited from father Adam.

I bind unto myself this day the mighty name of the Trinity: FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT.  O Divine Blood of JESUS, cover me !  

Deliver me from fear of the adversary, whose hungry breath hounds me day by day, deceiving me, trying to lure me to follow my flesh, away from Thy+ protection to crush me. 

THOU+ Who+ came as The Way+ , The Truth+, and The Life+ , save me from my Self, O VICTOR CHRIST; I yield my Self to THEE+. 


In the Name of the Incarnated CHRIST CHILD+, JESUS our LORD, I pray.

The Acceptable Year of The LORD...

ADVENT MEDITATIONS 2014


Courtesy of WWW.PRAVOSLAVIE.RU   


Isaiah 61:1 and 2a ~ Scriptures courtesy of www.biblegateway.com 


The Spirit of the Lord God is upon ME+; because the Lord hath anointed ME+ to preach good tidings unto the meek; HE hath sent ME+ to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord ...

Luke 4:18 The SPIRIT of the LORD is upon ME+, because HE hath anointed ME+ to preach the Gospel to the poor; HE hath sent ME+ to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

19 To preach 

.

the acceptable year of the LORD.



~~ ~ To proclaim the acceptable year of The LORD ~ ~ ~

“The SPIRIT of The LORD is upon ME+ because HE has anointed ME+ to…“  is how Luke 4:18 begins.

Luke 4:19 completes the Words from Isaiah 61: 1 and part of verse 2 which Our LORD spoke about HIMSELF+ and about HIS+ activities on earth when HE+ donned the humble robe of flesh during His+ Incarnation.

We know this anointing came as HE baptized His+ flesh.  The HOLY SPIRIT brought HIM+ to proclaim, to cry out, and to establish the year of acceptance by The LORD.

What, then, was “accepted ?”

Mankind.

By WHOM ?

The HOLY GOD.

With the INCARNATION of the SON+ of GOD, our human spirit and flesh now had a way --- only one way --- given to it to become acceptable unto GOD. 

The Incarnation of GOD’S Only-Begotten SON+ came for one purpose: to crush satan’s head. 

That act would not be done any other way, as determined by our HOLY FATHER.  Man put mankind under satan’s control; a MAN+ had to deliver mankind from that bondage.

CHRISTUS VICTOR is what one segment of brethren call HIM+, significantly.

The literal Hebrew renders it: “… to proclaim the YEAR OF DELIGHT of YHWH .”  Indeed, it was and is HIS good pleasure to rescue man from satan’s bondage.  

So HE sent VICTOR CHRIST, enrobed in humble flesh, to crush satan’s head. 

      Dear Gracious REDEEMER+, Who+ took upon Thyself+ the trappings of human flesh, so clothe me with the garments of Salvation that I may win out over the entrapments of the devil.  

Help me to turn my flesh to THEE+, never to fulfill the lusts thereof.  

Help me to submit my flesh to Thy+ discipline --- the same discipline that THOU+ embraced when THOU+ humbled Thyself+ and came in the likeness of men.  

Then, ACCEPTABLE I will be in Thy+ Sight, O Righteous Savior, and then THOU+ shalt extend Thy+ Robe of Righteousness unto me … even to me.



In the Name of Our Beloved Victorious King+, JESUS CHRIST, I pray.  Amen.

What CHILD+ is This?

Incarnation 2010
Meditation #1
Haste!
Haste!
to bring HIM+ laud,
The BABE+ ,
the son of Mary.
.
Acclaim, praise... the lauds... are the first fruits of our lips, upon rising in the morning. Traditionally, they are the last 3 Psalms in the Book of Psalms. Practically, the lauds can be any praise, acclamation, or worship done early in the morning.
.
But, why the haste?
.
The key to "haste" is in Psalm 2, a Messianic Psalm. Towards the end, it says:
.
Kiss the SON+,
lest HE+ be angry,
and ye perish from the way
when HIS+ wrath is kindled
but a little.
.
Kiss the SON+...
.
That means to fasten oneself unto HIM+, a means of attachment, to touch. Translated thus, it means to LOVINGLY attach oneself to the SON+.
.
Lest HE+ be angry...
.
Yes. Disobedience, hypocrisy, and willful sin will put Christians on the WRONG SIDE of HEAVEN. It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the LIVING GOD+.
.
And ye perish from the way...
.
The way here is the Hebrew word meaning "road" . Figuratively, it stands for the "manner of life." We all know what perish means.
.
When HIS+ wrath is kindled...
.
Who is this Messianic Psalm talking about? The SON+ !
.
Christians, do not let anyone fool you: The SON+ has anger and will return ... not as a BABE+ nor as a meek, sacrificial LAMB+. HE+ will come with a Rod of Iron and HE+ will take vengeance, this time.
.
Not only does Psalm 2 talk about that , but listen to The Apostle's words in I Thessalonians 1:7,8, 9 :
.
And to you who are troubled
rest with us,
when The LORD JESUS
shall be revealed
from Heaven
with HIS+ mighty Angels,
.
In flaming fire
taking vengeance on them
that know not GOD,
and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL
of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST:
.
Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction
from the presence of The LORD,
and from the glory
of HIS+ power.
.
Yes. HE+ has wrath against ALL disobedience and HE+ will not be placated. No excuses will stand. No-one will be able to hide behind the cloak of group membership or the doctrine of his "church."
.
...But a little...
.
The Hebrew says "in" a little. But a little would mean that it wouldn't take much provocation for HIS+ wrath to occur. In a little, the literal translation, would indicate that the time is short before HIS+ wrath occurs. Either way, it is true. Therefore:
.
Haste, haste
to bring HIM+ laud,
The BABE+,
The son of Mary.
.
What CHILD+ is this?
.
Whose child are you ??

The Royal Invitation...

~ ~ ~ R.S.V.P. ~ ~ ~
(ASAP)
.
.
The LORD GOD HEAVENLY FATHER offered an invitation .... one fraught with good will and lovingkindness... at the Incarnation+. HE sent forth HIS SON+ to be born of a humble and lowly Hebrew girl, a virgin of Israel from the hill county, to make solid that Royal Invitation.
.
But The LORD gives a warning for Christendom : Do not offer amnesty without repentance. We Christians tend to do that at Christmastime, especially. However, that Royal Invitation does NOT preclude nor eliminate the absolute necessity of repentance... before peace flows from the Heavenly Throne of The LORD towards a man.
.
If you offer amnesty without repentance,
My+ Blessing will not be upon it
and all is in vain;
I+ will not look upon
such a one with favor.
It will be with him
as the banquet-crasher
who deigned to come to ME+
at that Great Wedding Feast
improperly clad in his current
filthy clothing and sins.
Remember: that one had ample
opportunity to receive
an appointed and anointed
wedding garment;
My+ supply is limitless.
.
Do not substitute fiction for fact,
for you will be accountable.
I+ offer an Invitation
of the Best Goodwill
ever for mankind.
I+ do NOT offer pardon
without repentance.
My+ Blood is sufficient
to cover every sin.
If you do not respond
to the Invitation,
the Wedding Feast will still go on...
without you.
.
But remember:
when the door is shut,
it is shut
and no man can open it.
+ + +
In the name of The FATHER,
Who created thee;
.
His Beloved SON+,
JESUS CHRIST,
Who+ delivers thee;
.
and His Blessed HOLY SPIRIT,
Who sanctifies thee.

Building Muscle
Part 2

It is FASCINATING to watch a wise man work out.
He never… I repeat, NEVER… babies himself.

.

<(((><



This is an eye-witness account of a dear Christian brother. He had been incapacitated for over 20 years due to a car accident and subsequent work on his spine. Although he could move about and “look” normal, he couldn’t even carry a gallon of water (8 pounds) for years. When The LORD touched his body over a year ago, the gift of healing came in this way: he was strengthened in answer to prayer… but strengthened TO WORK OUT. He was strengthened to labor.

That is, his body was healed ONLY to the point needed to ENABLE this brother to do HIS part, i.e, to pick up the iron, to embrace a stronger discipline than he had ever known before, to deny himself. He now has the POWER to do the muscle work-outs which he had tried before. Earlier, they only made him sicker and he could not continue. He now has the power to overcome his previous condition.

However, note this: his atrophied muscles did NOT automatically bulge with strength when The LORD turned his condition; he had to labor to gain that. Well, labor he did and is still doing. His entire body shape has changed. He looks 20 years younger. His youthful appearance and changed physique are the fruits of his labor. He would NOT have either one if he would have stopped AND MADE NO EFFORT at the gift of healing.

.

.

The good fruits were not given to him in the healing;
only the power or ability to attain them was given.

Gifts versus fruits… interesting thought, isn’t it?

.

.

<(((><




Worldlings can also build their muscles, if they can embrace training, take some additional supplements, and monitor their diet. In reality, however, only a few can see what the body actually needs because that comes through TRUTH. Truth must be embraced at some level or body-killing steroids will tempt them to achieve a “fast fix.” Organ-afflicting foods will be eaten, only to create future surgeries and untold heart-ache.

It is no secret that most of us use food to indulge appetites or appease the emotions. We don’t accept the TRUTH that food is simply a fuel for needed energy for bodily functioning. Most of us will not deny our flesh enough comfort to even embrace a daily health exercise walk of 30 minutes. We all make excuses… good ones, too… revolving around duties and responsibilities. But, we all have been granted the same 24 hours a day.


Entering a new year, many of us make woebegone resolutions to exercise our flabby bodies. Some do to lose weight; some do for lost muscle tone. We all know that a simple exercise like walking enhances circulation, increases oxygen to the brain and body, flushes the lymph system, and massages the internal organs… all of which we desperately need to be healthy. However...

.

.

.
knowing is NOT doing.

.

What is the major hindrance to this good activity?
Adherence.
Routine.
Regularity.
Scheduled Performance of it.
Endurance.
Doing it when we don’t feel like it.
Doing it when something else
“more important” demands our time.
Whining.

<(((><
[ to be continued, with even more Truth]

In the Name of The FATHER,
His Only-begotten SON+,
and His Blessed HOLY SPIRIT,
world without end
Amen.

Building MUSCLE ~ Day 10 of the INCARNATION

Season of the INCARNATION
Day 10
Year of Our LORD,
1.3.2009

Building Muscle

It is FASCINATING to watch a wise man work out.
He never… I repeat, NEVER… babies himself.
.
.

In all of my 61 years, I have seen exactly ONE MAN close at hand who seriously and intensely works his muscles like Rocky Balboa preparing for “the big fight.”

To the uninitiated, “working out” means to grab a few weights (barbells or dumbbells) and pump that iron up and down a few times before getting on with the important duties of the day. Nothing could be further from the truth. That would injure a person’s body and build more lies in his soul [ i.e., exercise doesn’t work for me].

In reality “working out” is exactly what Rocky did. A person embraces the discipline of training his body before he even looks at a piece of iron (a weight-lifter’s term). But in the end, the fruit of embracing this discipline is that his body trains him ! It not only trains the muscles, but it trains the reflexes, the focus, the thoughts, and ultimately trains the person to deny himself temporarily to achieve the long-term goal set before him.

I watch the meticulousness of each work out exercise he selects. Each one is thought through with great care. The goal is always in his mind and every exercise is tailored to DO A SPECIFIC JOB for that particular muscle group.

For example, his methods are tailored for specific purposes. Working out with weights in bench triceps dips and alternate dumbbell curls (to name only a few), this wise man changes his work out like a recipe.
.
.

· For strength only, he does 5 or 6 sets of 2 or 3 repetitions with the same weights, with 4 to 5 minutes of rest between the sets.

· For adding muscle size only, he does 5 to 6 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions with only 45 to 60 seconds (!) between sets, using the same weights.

· But, to build both strength and size, this wise man does 5 to 6 sets of 5 to 6 reps with 2 to 3 minutes of rest between sets.
.
.

Fascinating, isn’t it? If a man can follow such a well-plotted recipe to make his body build strength, muscle, and size, he must trust there will be a natural response to his work. He trusts because he is following the natural law of how his body works, how human bodies are created. This natural law is so sure, so very certain, that even non-Christians who follow it will reap the same fruits of muscle, size, strength, and endurance.

Furthermore, this Christian brother who works out monitors his diet meticulously. He purposely puts ONLY in him foods that will accomplish his goals: building strength, muscle, size, endurance and ultimately good health. He monitors both the kind and the amounts. He puts “additives” in his body’s fuel tank to boost his high octane food also, keeping ever in mind how he wants his body’s engine to run. He embraces the TOTAL discipline needed to achieve his goal.

Being led by The LORD to work out, he never whines, but rather is thankful that he has a body that can now endure training. He never feels sorry for himself but rather rejoices in The LORD Who+ has granted him another day to do HIS+ Will. He refuses to allow himself to yearn after delicacies because he is intent on Truth… both for the outer man as well as for the inner man. He is delighted to apply himself to the Task Assigned, …unseen and unsung as it is… to show his sincere appreciation to The LORD.

Furthermore, on his one day “off” of the week, he refuses to feed his flesh more indulgently, knowing it will only make the iron harder to pick up again. He walks in Truth.
.
.

[This is a true story to be continued]

Glory be to The FATHER, and to The SON+, and to The HOLY SPIRIT;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Amen.

Give ear, O SHEPHERD+ of Israel,
THOU that leadest Joseph like a flock;

THOU that dwellest between the Cherubim,
shine forth.
Psalm 80:1
.
.

O, how we look forward to HIS+ coming again! The LORD’S Incarnation--- taking upon HIMSELF+ the form of a man--- and HIS+ death and Resurrection all point to HIS+ Return…. and HIS+ control.

When that momentous event occurs, everything will change on planet earth and also in the Heavenlies.

When that momentous event occurs, the battle is won, tangibly, for all to see, here upon earth.

When that momentous event occurs, the earth will begin to be restored back to where it was before the fall of mankind. The lion and the calf and the leopard and the kid shall INDEED lie down together, without hurt nor harm. Isaiah 11 is full of these promises, describing what will happen when HE+ comes again.

Yes, the world will weep and howl when its ungodliness is smitten for the powers of darkness love ungodliness. So will those who agree with them.

But how can we who follow JESUS CHRIST, the only true GOD, do anything but rejoice with a mighty joy?
.

O Earth, Earth, Earth,
hear the WORD of the LORD.

O Eretz, Eretz, Eretz,
shemai D’BAR JeHoVaH !
Jeremiah 22:29

And there shall come forth a ROD+ out of the stem of Jesse,
and a BRANCH+ shall grow out of his roots:

And the SPIRIT of The LORD [JEHOVAH]
shall rest upon HIM+,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

And shall make HIM of quick understanding
in the fear of the LORD:
and HE+ shall not judge after the sight of His+ eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of His+ ears:

But with righteousness shall HE+ judge the poor,
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:

and HE+ shall smite the earth:
with the rod of His+ mouth,
and with the breath of His+ lips
shall HE+ slay the wicked.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of His+ loins,
and faithfulness the girdle of His+ reins.

And I saw Heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and HE+ that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True,
and in righteousness HE+ doth judge and make war
.
Revelation 19:11

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.


And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

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.

And in that day there shall be a ROOT+ of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to *HIM+ shall the Gentiles seek:
