this video really got me thinking about this chip stuff, not to mention alot of other things!, but i have seen this before, and just like then they where saying how we will all be getting a card that will have the same chip in it. we should all be getting one of these in the next year or so according to this video( no idea if it's true) but it would be a card that has all your info on it, and would work as money and i.d. together as well as a pass port to move around within the u.s. because of the check points that will be in place(no idea if this is true). the card is not the goal though, it's just to get people used to the idea of it all being in one place. the next step they say is this ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
it's a chip that goes just under the skin, and no this is not for your dog! it's for humans, in fact a family in FLA. has already received their new chips and say they are all the rave. this guy loves his new chip! here is a little quote from his article, ''No one is forcing you to have a VeriChip. If you want a chip in your right arm you are going to know it is there because you will see it injected. When you look at the events of 9/11 and the way people measure their own personal security today versus the way they did a few years ago, there is a much higher concern to make sure that family members are safe and sound, and some people now put that above privacy rights.'' did you hear that!! they put it in his right arm!!!!!!

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

also, "This company has already come under scrutiny for initially calling this chip the 'digital angel', so they later changed it to verichip."

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

it's coming my friends, if this is not it then it's leading to it. but it does not get more "right on" in my eyes!

till then we keep our hand to the plow and our eyes on the sky's!
even so come Lord Jesus!

it is of God

It is of God that Christ becomes ours,that we are brought to him, and are united to him. It is of God that we receive faith to close with him, that we may have an interest in him. Eph. ii. 8. " For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." It is of God that we actually receive all the benefits that Christ has purchased. It is God that pardons and justifies, and delivers from going down to hell; and into his favour the redeemed are received, when they are justified. So it is God that delivers from the dominion of sin, cleanses us from our filthiness, and changes us from our deformity. It is of God that the redeemed receive all their true excellency, wisdom, and holiness;

true excellency, wisdom, and holiness;

a must!!

τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀγάπης αὐτοῦ

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

we will note right off the bat that he is going to contrast the light of verse 12, with the powers of darkness. also we can see in the verse the contrast of the powers of darkness, or kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of his dear son or powers of the light.

the powers of darkness - Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - note, the darkness is of this world and with it comes powers, and spiritual wickedness. eph 6:11 says Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
the powers, and darkness of this world and this spiritual wickedness can all be traced back to the devil. lets take a look at him.

Devil - Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

this is not just any other person, he was a very great creation of the Lord until iniquity was found in him. and now he has been cast down to the ground - Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
let us not be ignorant of his ways but let us now take hope in our text -

we have been delivered out of this dark kingdom, translated into the kingdom of the Son. Jesus Christ delivered us by taking our sins to the cross, he then translated us at the time of our regeneration into his kingdom.
i see in this a picture of the rapture -
TRANSLA'TED, pp. Conveyed from one place to another; removed to heaven without dying; rendered into another language.
delivered out of this world and "raptured or translated" into the
kingdom of his dear Son. Amen Amen!!

one last note - of his dear son or, τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀγάπης αὐτοῦ
......................................................of the Son of His love.........
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Amen!

Colossians 1:12

In my next few entrees I will be looking at Colossians 1:12 – 17, there is no real reason why I picked this text other then it was part of my reading today and it seemed to jump off the page at me. I will do my best to try to explain what I saw in it, while trying to stay theologically sound.

(Col 1:12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Just as the apostle makes an end of his petitions to God for the Colossians, he starts into this portion of text with thanks giving for what God has done in and for them and us already.

What God hath done in us:

Which hath made us meet – the Greek word used here is ἱκανόω hikanoō.
Meaning to make sufficient, or abundant. * note * the text does not say who Has made us. That does not mean that it is not saying “who hath made us”, I struggled with this because I believed that it was saying “who hath made us” in its context, yet it would seen to imply that it is the act of giving thanks that hath made us meet to be partakers. It was not until I looked at the word it’s self and saw that “which” is really nothing more then a representative for a noun or a thing. We call that a pro noun relative, or a substitute. In it’s usage in this verse it is the pro noun of God the father, which (ß he he he! I used it!!) is the same as saying,” who hath made us”. With all that said I can now make my point that, God made us meet, or sufficient to be partakers of the inheritance. It was not of us, for as we all know there is none good. Let us take this fast minute to praise our Lord and King! For he and he alone hath made us sufficient to be partakers!!!

of the inheritance - A plain allusion to the division Of the Promised Land among the different families of the twelve tribes of Israel. This was a type of the kingdom of God, in which portions of eternal blessedness are dispensed to the genuine Israelites; to them who have the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit, whose praise is of God, and not of man.

What God hath done for us:

Of the saints in light - Connect with inheritance: the inheritance which is in light. This need not be limited to future glory. The children of God walk in light on earth. And so the inheritance it’s self, maybe a reference to the future glory that awaits us. “In light” maybe a reference to the grace God flows out onto his children in their current state.
Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

The Godly Person
Weeps!
CHRIST CALLS HIS SPOUSE His "dove" (Song
2:14). The dove is a weeping creature. Grace dissolves
and liquefies the soul, causing a spiritual
thaw. The sorrow of the heart runs out at the eye. A
godly heart grieves that it is not more holy. It troubles
him that he falls short of the rule and standard
which God has set. "I should", he says, "love the
Lord with all my heart. But how defective my love
is! How far short I come of what I should be, no, of
what I might have been!"
Thomas Watson (1620-1686) - Non-conformist
preacher in England. Wrote many influential books in
his day and is read widely by many evangelicals in
our day.


Troublemakers in the
Church
WE NEED MORE TROUBLEMAKERS in the
church! I pray that every member of the body of
Christ would become a troublemaker! We need an
army of troublemakers who have become so full of
the Holy Ghost they will stir up and trouble New
York City and every other city around the world;
trouble their wicked institutions - challenge the
established dead churches - trouble the leaders, the
mayors, the city councils, the community leadership!
In other words, we need Holy Ghost troublemakers
moving in the Spirit, proclaiming the kingship
of Christ so effectively that whole cities are
stirred!
David Wilkerson - A watchman to our current
generation. Was used of God to establish teen challenge
rehabilitation centers. Pastor of Times Square
Church in New York city.




Jonathan Edwards

“Resolution One: I will live
for God. Resolution Two: If no
one else does, I still will.”
“The happiness of the creature
consists in rejoicing in
God, by which also God is
magnified and exalted.”
“The way to Heaven is ascending;
we must be content
to travel uphill, though it be
hard and tiresome, and contrary
to the natural bias of our
flesh.”
“A greater absurdity cannot
be thought of than a morose,
hardhearted, covetous, proud,
malicious Christian.”
“All the graces of Christianity
always go together. They so
go together that where there is
one, there are all, and where
one is wanting, all are wanting.
Where there is faith, there
are love, and hope, and humility;
and where there is
love, there is also trust; and
where there is a holy trust in
God; there is love to God; and
where there is a gracious
hope, there also is a holy fear
of God.”

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) - He is known as
one of the greatest and most profound of American
theologians and revivalists. Famous for his sermon
named: “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God.”

take up thy cross

on my way to work i listened as the fellow read from the gospel of mark, and Luke. he told that old story, a crowd is gathered and screaming. a man draws neer to see what the tumult is all about. just as he pushes his way through to the front to see he wishes he had never came to look at all. for he See's a man, beaten more then any before him. covered in blood, with a crown of thorns upon his head and a cross on his back. it is passable that just as this man has seen enough and would have left a roman guard grabs him and forces him to take up the cross for this man can bear it no more, and then in that moment part of the burden upon Jesus' back is lifted. this man has taken up his cross.

do we? do you? are you willing to or must God force you the way he forced this man?

if you are willing to take up this cross, no matter what the cost. just think of how you will be taking up part of the Lords burden by doing what ever he needs of you. part of the work that the lord is doing in the world for the kingdom will now fall upon your back, and lift ever so slightly the burden of the Lords task at hand. is that not worth the crushing force of a cross on your back, i say it is!

make you self willing to do the work of the Lord today, no matter what the cost!!
