A Book Of Remembrance

"Your words have been harsh against Me,”

Says the Lord,

“Yet you say,

‘What have we spoken against You?’

You have said,

‘It is useless to serve God;

What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,

And that we have walked as mourners

Before the Lord of hosts?

So now we call the proud blessed,

For those who do wickedness are raised up;

They even tempt God and go free.’”

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,

And the Lord listened and heard them;

So a book of remembrance was written before Him

For those who fear the Lord

And who meditate on His name.

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,

“On the day that I make them My jewels.

And I will spare them

As a man spares his own son who serves him.”

Then you shall again discern

Between the righteous and the wicked,

Between one who serves God

And one who does not serve Him.

Malachi 3:13-18

...Forget God

Remember who God is and who we are not. (Job 42:2-6) Remember God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are so much higher than our finite reasoning. (Isaiah 55: 8-9) Remember God created everything in merely seven days and that we ourselves can create nothing! (Genesis 1:1-2-2, John 15:5) Remember God is in heaven humbling Himself to observe things on heaven and earth out of His love and mercy. (Psalms 113:5-6) Remember we are mere creations that God formed out of dust and breathed His life into us. (Genesis 2:7, Ezekiel 37:1-9) Remember our righteousness is of no benefit to God but only benefits us, enabling us to see His face and live eternally. (Job 22: 2-4, Matthew 25:14-30) Remember God does not need us, but we need God. (Psalms 50:12, Psalms 24:1) Remember God blessed us to be a blessing to others not only ourselves. (Genesis 12:2-3) Remember God and His kingdom and His money is not ours to spend on houses and land but on God's kingdom and His people first! (Luke 18:29-30, Matthew 6:33) Remember only God's son Jesus died for our sins, there is no other sacrifice and way to God. (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, I Timothy 2:3-6) Remember we did not choose God but He chose us. (John 15:16-19) Remember salvation is a gift but eternal life costs much! (Mark 10: 17-30, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9) Remember God's word is the greatest authority and He does whatever He pleases. (Psalms 138:2, Isaiah 40:8, Psalms 115:1-3) Remember Jesus is returning. (Matthew 16:27, Matthew 24:30, Mark 8:36-38, Luke 21:25-28, Revelation 19:11) Remember God will judge the living and the dead. (Acts 10:42, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, 1 Peter 4:5) Remember God created hell for Satan and his angels and all those who forget God. (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:10, Psalm 11:6)

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Psalm 9:17

The Character Of Envy

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?’ For he knew they handed Him over because of envy. Matthew 27:15-18

Who can stand against envy?

Just another form of jealousy

The highest level of cruelty

How can you want to be or have

Another’s life that it drives you mad

Their every adversity makes you glad

You watch and wait in privy

To find every opportunity

To condemn them with scrutiny

By you, their very presence is despised

Because there’s no equity in your own eyes

So an imitation of them is your disguise

They are on a much higher plane

Slander is the way you feel you can gain

Because their honor you just can’t attain

Relentlessly striving to destroy

The noble name that they employ

The praise of them saps your joy

How has the enemy made you this way?

How many hours do you spend with him per day

That he was so easily able to persuade?

Whenever we talk whenever we meet

Every flaw I have you boldly repeat

Longing somehow my character you will deplete

But in the end my friend you shall see

The enemy cunningly destroyed you, not me

And his hold on you won’t quickly retreat

The ditch you dug will be your own

The reputation you’ll reap is the one you’ve sown

Humiliation will never leave your home

Mercy you can never receive

Because in giving it you never believed

Many will rejoice at your calamity

They’ll say, “Is this the one who walked in pride?’

Our misfortune she arrogantly chose to deride

Now from disgrace and shame she cannot hide!

The righteous rejoice when the wicked fail

All their plans return to the depths of Hell

And the evil she wrought in her ears will bewail

I plead with you my ignorant friend

Destroy the wickedness of envy and sin

Repent for maybe the Lord may relent

The Excuse God Accepts

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must DO what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves!! James 1:22

How can the "saints" be angry because you tell them not to be in the club or to stop using profanity? How can you be a "saint" and despise the people of God speaking the truth? I am like King David! He said, "I am a companion (friend) of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts." (Psalms 119:63) David also said, "They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word." (Psalms 119:74) 

My plea to the "saints" is please stop shooting the MESSENGERS! The people of God are NOT the author of the bible, GOD is the author and writer! So please know your anger, frustration, hatred, etc. is NOT against the messenger but God. Make sure on judgement day you let Him know when He said:

 "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. (Ephesians 5:3-7)

Or when God said:

"For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. But remember that they will have to face God, who will judge everyone, both the living and the dead." (I Peter 4:2-5)

Make sure on that day you tell God, He was wrong, you are only human, and not to judge you because obviously in your world He was WRONG! I hope all your excuses work on that day! Amen.

Filthy Dreamers

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Jude 1:8

I have been on the quest for wealth wholeheartedly for over 12 years now. I have joined at least five network marketing schemes trying to "live the dream". Do not misunderstand me money is important and wealth is needed especially in the kingdom of God! However, some of the most wicked people I have ever encountered on this earth are the so-called "Dreamers", those "Dreaming Big" and the  "Dream Builders"! Their motto is "Nothing or no one is bigger than the "Dream". I can use network marketing because it is what I used most trying to "live the dream" and I find it is infested with a bunch of financially destitute false leaders hiding behind the "dream". 

Money is the only thing God compared to Himself. Matthew 6:24 reads: “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. The word also says in 1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have ERRED from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Loving money over God is the root, the sustaining part, of ALL evil and makes you DESPISE God. We heard the term "filthy rich" it comes from "filthy dreamers" who will bankrupt and destroy you and your family for "The Dream"! 

It was money that caused one of Jesus' chosen disciples Judas to betray God Himself! Not eternal life, not him reigning with Christ, not power unseen, but money! Matthew 26: 14-16 reads: "Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him."

Thirty pieces of silver was the price of a SLAVE. (Exodus 21:32). And it was not enough money to even allow Judas to "live the dream"! It was in a bag he could carry equal to about $330. Judas betrayed Jesus Christ and became the enemies' slave for a few dollars. Have you ever witnessed this person? Well, I have over and over and over again! It's pure wickedness!

Today I ask you to evaluate what and who you are sacrificing in hopes of "living the dream". The last five years I have seen the most wicked things done to others. Husbands despising their spouses, people leaving God, people having sex with several women while having them live in the same house and they accept it. Leaders financially destitute deceiving their teams in order to pay for their adulterous affairs and the people find out and their response is: "I can't focus on that, I have to focus on "My Dream." Well, let me help you focus and tell you how your dream ends! Proverbs 24:12 states: "Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and He SEES you. He who guards your soul KNOWS you KNEW. He will repay all people as their actions deserve."

God created wealth. He is the only One who has the power to give us true wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18) But receive it from His hand not by deceiving, destroying, and betraying others for "your dream". Dreams are not real! Ecclesiastes 6:9 reads: "Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind." The whole concept of "Dreaming" is an illusion, something God says is meaninglessly. God will give you the desires of your heart IF you trust and delight in HIM! (Psalms 37: 3-4) Do God "Big" and God will make your Dreams come true! 

Gay, Lesbian, and I'm a Christian

Those who say they love God know and keep His commandments. Most only quote one verse out of God's entire Bible which is: God is Love. But I have listed other scriptures our God of Love has written in this same Bible. 

(Leviticus 18: 22-23) You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.

(Leviticus 20:13) If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death.

(Judges 19: 22-24) As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!” But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage. Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!”

(Romans 1:24-28)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

(I Corinthians 6:9-11) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

(Jude 1:7-8) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

The profound story of Sodom and Gomorrha is found in Genesis 19. If you really love God and call yourself His, know what He has written about homosexuality and decide. The choice is always ours! People are naturally born wicked, so proclaiming you are "born this way" is no excuse! We were ALL born this way: wicked! So today choose the path you will take. God Bless the hearer and doer of His word.
