Hide Not THY+ Face...

Hide not Thy+ Face

far from me; 

Put not Thy+ servant away in anger. 

THOU+ hast been my help; 

leave me not, neither forsake me, 

O GOD of my salvation. 

Psalm 27:9

When do you "see" GOD ?  When do you "look upon" HIS+ Face ?  Is not this the desire of your heart ?

YES!

For you know this, if you could only see HIM+ face to face, all would be well. Your hurts would cease in His+ Presence, your fears be gone, your body healed, and the empty places in your heart filled. 

When THOU+ saidst, 

"SEEK YE MY+ FACE;" 

my heart said unto THEE+, 

"Thy+ Face, LORD, will I seek." 

You are enabled to SEE HIM+ by the HOLY SPIRIT, the Paraclete, The Divine SPIRIT of GOD Who comes alongside of you to help.  

When does this happen?

This happens when your heart lines up with His+ Will.

What is HIS+ Will for your life?  

      His+ will for your life is simply this:

  

Do not hide your face from HIS+.

When you are angry, go to HIM+... do not carry that burden yourself. Bring your intense concerns and upsetnesses to HIM+. 

HE+ sees them coming, before you do.

But, something CHANGES when you do not hide your angry face from HIM+.  

This is what changes:  You put yourself under HIS+ Divine Covering, His+ Divine Protection from your own angry flesh... and from satan using your anger to beget sin.  

Be angry, but sin not, Scripture teaches.

That sin, even if it does not immediately hurt others, will be an open door that satan will use to hurt... YOU!   

The evil one will send oppression, torment, unhappiness, agitation, and fear in to hurt YOU, through that door you have left open to him. The evil one does not know everything... but he knows what will hurt you and REST ASSURED, he will send it your way through every open door you give him. 

When you bring your anger to HIM+, HE+ will hear you out. HE+ will tell you to sit still for awhile with HIM+. Then HE+ will lead you through that awful valley of anger, until you can see: 

1. the hurt that made you angry 

and 

or

2. the pride that made you angry 

( when pride is stepped upon)

At that point, you must put it ALL on His+ altar, of His+ Will, to do with it all as HE+ sees fitting. 

When you surrender and completely yield to HIS+ Will, you will SEE HIS+ FACE shining towards you!

This is "seen" by the eyes of your heart .... usually !

Therefore, to live a peaceful, secure, and happy life: 

Hide not your face from HIM+ Who+ loves you best...

even when turmoils

beset your heart.

² Behold, I+ will make 
Jerusalem a cup of trembling 
unto all the people round about, 
when they shall be 
in the siege 
both 
against Judah 
and against Jerusalem.



³ And in that day will 
I+ 
make Jerusalem a burdensome stone 
for all people: 

all that burden themselves with it 
shall be cut in pieces, 
though all the people of the earth 
be gathered together against it.

The Judgments of GOD are already set in motion.

It is a FOOLISH people who spend their time ignoring what  I+ said,  what I+ wrote... yet call themselves by MY+ Name.  

You are more alarmed over the drop in the money markets than at MY+ Words of warning. 

Woe, woe, woe unto you.

Do you think I+ do not see what you do in your council rooms? Do you think I+ do not hear your hatred of MY+ ancient people and your plans to carve a place for yourself on MY+ Temple Mount?

 Do you think I+  do not know your Agenda's... hidden and otherwise? Do you think I+ do not know all about your hidden areas and camps... your plans to set your hatred in motion against MY+ people, the ENTIRE HOUSE of Israel ? 

Do you think I+ cannot see your abundance of food when I+ look upon those dying of famine ... for years ? Remember: Sodom and Gomorrah also refrained from sharing their abundance of food with others crying of hunger.  

Do you think I+ am deaf to the cries of the helpless ones... the refugees, the ones fleeing from your guns, your bombs... or those you pay and equip to do the killing for you ? 

Those funds can NEVER be laundered!

  Do you think I+ am such a one as YOU ? 

Do you not think that I+ know the name of every one of those 55 million babies you have "legally" chopped in pieces, aborted, used in your fine cosmetics, DNA experiments, and cloning laboratories.... your Temples of Death. 

Yes, I+ have ALL those Little Ones you and your people did not want and "legally" condemned to die, innocent though they were.   

They were conceived due to your own sin... and you have added sin upon sin with their "legalized" murder ... and do you not think that I+ cannot or WILL not hear the cry of the UN-born in your land? In this Western "Civilization"?  In this Liberal, Modern age, wherever it may be found across the face of this earth ? 

Legal? Only on paper. And that paper is not even worth the burning of it! My+ Court pronounces the Judgment, not yours.  

Those who have a heart to REPENT, do so now, for your own salvation. 

The Determined Judgments are already set. 

Your Temples of Death... those experimentation labs that you cloak with titles of "research" truly ARE Temples of Death... YOUR DEATH... and all those who agree with, fund, support, and promote such doings. 

They are NOT to better mankind, but to make an "elite" society, with enchained slaves, and to feather your own nest in the process. 

Shall I+ not avenge myself on such a people as this ?  

The VOICE of the Bride and The BRIDEGROOM+ shall be heard no more at all in her. 

Come out of her, MY+ people. 

HE+ Didn't Come Here to Lose...

BLESSED INCARNATION

Second Coming of JESUS with Angels in Glory

CHRIST+ The KING+

ever reigns on High.

O Come, let us adore HIM+. 

A strange Christmas greeting, I know.

Yet, JESUS CHRIST did NOT become a human babe on planet earth to lose the battle. Incarnate as the Son of Man and yet simultaneously being the SON+ of GOD … HE+ came to win the FIRST time!

YES… HE+ was born the Second  ADAM+  to WIN the fight with satan that the first Adam lost for us.  The LORD JESUS CHRIST took upon HIM+ the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men so that HE+ could suffer death for us.

Why did HE+ have to suffer death?  

Among other things, the Second ADAM+ had to re-trace the steps of the first Adam and descend into Sheol (Hades).  In order to do that, HE+ had to die as every human has died since the fall of the first Adam into sin.

The first Adam disobeyed GOD his FATHER, and sin entered the human race, and death by sin. The Second ADAM+ , however, learned obedience by the things that HE+ suffered. Yet, even tempted in all things like as we are, HE+ knew no sin.

The first Adam descended into Sheol, into the heart of the earth, as a captive  of death.  The Second ADAM+ descended into the heart of the earth AS A VICTOR !  

Death could not hold HIM+ !

As a matter of fact,  the second HE+ died, death had NO more dominion over HIM+ !

The LORD JESUS CHRIST was not only NOT BOUND by the gates of Hell HIMSELF+, but HE+  also rescued ALL the  Righteous Dead and led Captivity  captive!   

The Righteous Dead, those souls who had died before CHRIST and were held in Abraham’s Bosom in the heart of the earth, were delivered from the place of the dead and moved up to the Paradise of GOD in Heaven.

No, most assuredly, HE+ did not come here to lose.

If the princes of this world would have only known what was going to happen, they would not have crucified the LORD+ of GLORY.

Furthermore, HE+ is not going to lose the battle when HE+ returns to planet earth in His+ Glorified Body… this SAME JESUS, Scripture says.

Away in a manger ?

Who could be offended at a sweet little Babe ?

Sorrowfully, for the Daughters of Rachel, Herod was … but Herod was not considered to be normal, being under the influence of demons.

But rather, 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.

Galilee of the nations…  as it is properly and fully entitled…. is a fitting place to remind His+ followers of what will shortly come to pass:  His+ Return.

YES, His+ Return  is so imminent and so eminent that there is no time to waste  standing around, gazing up into Heaven to watch HIM+ go away, reminded the angels at HIS+ glorious Ascension, approximately 2000 years ago !

For Our LORD JESUS CHRIST shall INDEED come again… in flaming fire this time, to take vengeance on them who know not GOD and obey not the Gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Most  assuredly, HE+ did NOT come here to lose …not even one hair of HIS+ thorn-scarred head, and not one hair of your head or mine or of anyone else who picks up his cross and follows HIM+.

CHRIST the KING+ 

ever reigns on High…

O Come, let us adore HIM+ !

    

 

HE+ Didn't Come Here to Lose !

⁶ For thus saith the LORD of Hosts; 

Yet once, it is a little while, 

and I+  will shake 

the heavens, and the earth, 

and the sea, and the dry land;

⁷ And I+  will shake all nations,
 and

 The DESIRE+ of all nations

 shall come: 

and I+  will fill this house 
with glory, 

saith the LORD of Hosts.

⁸ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, 

saith the LORD of Hosts.

⁹ The Glory of this latter house 

shall be greater 

than of the former, 

saith the LORD of Hosts: 

and in this place will
I+
  give peace,

saith the LORD of Hosts.

Meditation ~ ~ ~

O LORD GOD, YHWH ADONAI,  King+ of the Heavenly Hosts, Captain+of the Divine Armies of Angelic Beings, show Thyself+ once again! 

And, this time , O LORD, let it be known to the peoples of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation

exactly  WHO+ THOU+ art.

As THOU+ didst enter  into Thine+ Incarnation in order to die to set men free from satan's grip...

we long for THEE+ to re-enter planet earth with Thy+ Glorified Body to set aright the kingdoms of this world. 

Then, the kingdoms of this world is become the Kingdoms of Our LORD, and of HIS CHRIST!

And HE+ shall reign for ever and ever!

 HalleluJAH !

Come, O Come,

 and fill this Temple!

Come, O Come,

O DESIRE+ of all nations, 

and fill this Temple! 

Come, O Come,

EMMANUEL+

and ransom captive earth,

still bound by Hell. 

HE+ Didn't Come Here to Lose !

Advent Meditation #7

What can I give HIM+, 

poor as I am ? 

If I were a shepherd, 

I would give HIM+ a lamb. 

~

But rich or poor, 

I will do my part

Because HE+ loves me.... 

I will give HIM+ my heart. 

~ ~ ~ Poem by Christina Rossetti,
adapted by Sr. Judith Hannah  + + +

Meditation ~ ~ ~

O Victorious SAVIOR !  O THOU+ Who+ looketh upon our lives, knowing the end from the beginning, help us to focus our hearts upon THEE+.  

Help us to realize how very poor we are and that we are in need of everything... everything to make us acceptable unto GOD. 

 We thank THEE+ for cleansing us by Thy+ Blood.+  We bless THEE+ for illuminating us with Thy+ HOLY SPIRIT. We praise THEE+ for not letting us go.

Thanks be to THEE+ and to Our Heavenly FATHER for making a way for us to go through this sin-sick world and  come safely HOME to THEE+.  

Help us to live as though we know  that  JESUS CHRIST our LORD didn't come here to lose ! Not even one hair on our heads did HE+ lose!  

Glory to The FATHER, 

to The SON+, and 

to The BLESSED 

HOLY SPIRIT. 

HE+ Didn't Come Here to Lose !

Revelation 12

Courtesy of BibleGateway.com

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 

And she being with CHILD+ cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

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 ) HE+ was born.

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. 

~  ~  ~

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD, and the power of HIS CHRIST: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night. 

~  ~  ~

And they overcame him  

• by the BLOOD+ of the LAMB+,  
• and by the Word+ of their testimony; 
•  and, they loved not their lives unto the death.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the MAN CHILD+.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which 

• keep the commandments of GOD, and 
• have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST.

Meditation ~ ~ ~ 

O THOU+ Who+ came to rule all nations with Thy+ Rod of Iron, strengthen my feeble knees. 

Help me to kneel to THEE+ alone, in this world which demands my allegiance to promote its deceptions. 

Help me to bend the knee only to THEE+ when tempted to discount Thy+ Word and yield my thoughts to the values and philosophies of this world.  

O LAMB+ Who+ came to rule with Thy+ Rod of Iron, strengthen my knees to hold firm without fear... when faced with the worries engendered by the fallen lying angels which appear to control this world ... for a short space.

Rule me, O LAMB+, with Thy+ Rod and Staff which comforts, not with that terrifying Rod of Iron.

O LAMB+ of GOD Who+ came to take away the sin of the world, have mercy upon me.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, LAMB+ of GOD, bearer of my sins, have mercy upon me. 

LORD JESUS CHRIST, LAMB+ of GOD, my SAVIOR+ ,  grant me Thy+ peace.

Amen
