Have you ever wondered why?

A CROOKED PATH

 

Have you ever awakened to a new day, say, today, and wondered why the world appears to remain as it was when you went to bed and slept during the night? Do you want to know the real reason why? Rather than the complacent autopilot manner in which most arise in the morning. You may think I’ve misplaced my marbles [I don’t have any, to begin with] but while there are myriad reasons for your arising when you do in the morning wherever you may be on the surface of this world, the main reason the world has continued on one more day is that…

God willed it. God’s will holds everything together. God’s will maintains the sun, and everything on this earth, everything in all there is. Well beyond our ability to know.

There is a new day to give those who may not even realize that their name is in the Book of Life to come to finally see and hear the Lord in their heart and allow the Holy Spirit to transform them into a new creature. A changed heart and mind. A changed life. To be lived for the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as happened to you, and me, a certain day when we were transformed and renewed of mind and spirit by the Supernatural power of the Spirit of God.

This is why if you are blessed to have been given another day of life and you’re now reading this it’s all God’s will to keep everything held together. Until the appointed time in which the last person in the Book of Life answers the Lord, and everything is almost fulfilled — then the Lord Jesus Christ will return. One more time.

Don’t believe this? Do you truly hold a Biblical worldview in your heart and mind, or have you permitted the Word of God to lose its authority and you have come to either doubt or alter that which is contained in God’s Word? Or perhaps you’ve never believed one word of the Holy Bible.

To those professing to be Christians yet they maintain a worldly worldview — such as they believe the earth is billions of years old, perhaps they even believe in evolution, or they place their faith in man’s word, science trumping what is in the Bible. Or picking and choosing what they will believe within the inerrant Word of God — those need to come to know and believe the Word of God as it is written. Every word within the Word. Forsaking man’s word. No longer permitting the saturation of this world’s philosophies to seep into our spirits and souls alienating us from God. As so many presently do. As so many in the past have done. If unfamiliar get a Bible and read the accounts of individuals and the Israelites in God’s Word. The very same is taking place daily in those who profess to be God’s people.

What we know compared to what God knows, what we are compared to what God is can be compared in this feeble manner —  all our knowledge is like that contained in one human hair. One solitary hair. God’s knowledge is vaster than every human hair on every human head to have ever been, from Adam to the present, and to those yet to be born! And all we need to know is contained in the whole Word of God. That is sufficient. There is enough of God in the Bible to bring us eternal life and then at some point to reside in heaven with God. To then come to know more than we ever can while here. That one hair of knowledge is enough for us. If we truly believe. If we obey. That analogy doesn’t even begin to come close to our knowledge compared to God’s knowledge. Yet most turn to man’s word rather than God’s Word.

And we imagine ourselves wise and so advanced? So bright and knowledgeable? Really? How vain, how foolish!

Where is your true foundation? In man’s word? This world and its beliefs and philosophies are rife throughout what passes for the Christian church and Christianity today. The body stumbles and falls only because it refuses to obey and believe the Head. Thinking it knows better than the Head. Or, do you truly, fully have the foundation of your life, your beliefs built upon the Word of God? That strong foundation that should not then be broken begins in Genesis. Genesis 1 through 11 is the foundation. For everything.

Either you truly believe every word within Genesis 1 through 11 or you don’t. If you do then you do possess a Biblical worldview. If you pick and choose, “oh I’ll believe this but not that, and science says this, I just read something someone said about…”

…then you possess a worldview. Whether you profess faith or not. You cannot place faith in the teachings of the world and also place partial faith in God, in Christ, and in the Word of God.

The world is full of living Marie Antionettes. Claiming to be Christian yet holding as the foundation of their lives not the whole Word of God but the words of fallen man.

God’s Word is the AUTHORITY ON EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.

Missing nothing.

Below is a link to a video I cannot urge everyone enough finding themselves here to watch and listen to. Taking the time to watch and listen. Then implement. Also, believing enough to then pass it on to someone you know. Particularly a professed Christian you know. Also sending it along to every pagan you may know.

The only reason any of us will wake up tomorrow, if we do, as we woke up today is due to the will of God. Period. As we are complacent, taking things for granted. Like going to bed believing we’ll wake up in the morning and our life will commence and whatever is in our individual lives is certainly the most important matters taking place not only on this earth but in all the universe! We are the center of the universe, the sun shines because of us and our lives!

Not so.

Truly time to wake up my friends.

You woke up this morning, and perhaps tomorrow morning solely as a result of God’s will. He Who provides every breath, every heartbeat, every bird’s song, every hair on your head to fall or remain in place, your very life.

Keeping all things held together in all there is. By His will.

“Let there be…”

Have you ever paused to deeply wonder why there is a new dawn? And this world carries on? It’s solely for those whose names appear in the Book of Life to acknowledge God and Christ if they have not and to make Jesus Lord of their lives, and for those truly in Christ to spread the gospel, to be a light unto the world, and for every jot and tittle of Scripture to be fulfilled.

It isn’t about your 401k, inflation, who’s running for office, writing your Congress person about abortion, or even your children’s football [some call it soccer, but it’s the real football] games or recitals, or anything else — anything else made more important than God’s will for those lost to be found, for those weak and sliding away to become stronger in the Word and to have Him and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ be uppermost in our lives as we claim He is. It isn’t even about what Joe Biden is doing or not doing. Or if your team wins. Oh, daily life is so, so important. Our every word and action is very important. Our personal relationships. How we spend our time. Make no mistake.

Salvation. Growing in the faith. The sun is held in place and shining someplace on the surface of this earth so that some who are darkness come to see and know the Light that is the Lord and become light themselves, ourselves. Being truly transformed by the Spirit of God into His children and true disciples of Jesus. Not all people are children of God, as is the misconception, the lie told by the world and songwriters. If not a child of God truly then one is a child of disobedience. And there are no others in the family. While those blessed to come to know Christ increase in their faith and spiritual understanding and wisdom. For God’s plan to unfold.

But none of it happens without daily, nightly, the One True God holding everything together by His will. Just as by His will Jesus will return. And by His will, all that is known will vanish. This world and the heavens rolled up like a scroll and vanished forever. To be eternally forgotten. By God’s sheer will and word.

Knowing this, if believing this, truly, let each of us enter each day keeping this in our hearts and minds as best we can — and that happens by turning to God more and the things of this world less.

Have you ever wondered why? 

There is one clear, simple, and true answer. For everything continuing and being held together.

Only by the will of God Almighty.

The link I mentioned above appears below. It is nearly the last thing on this page. I pray you take the time to watch and listen to the video. May God bless and keep you, may you place all your faith in the Lord and in His inerrant infallible living and active Word. Every word.

 

Paul Addresses the Areopagus

So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;

as even some of your own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’

Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”

Acts 17:22-31 — English Standard Version

 

Read and believe…every word…for these words are the foundation to and of everything. Everything truthful and needed for understanding and standing firm in the faith in this escalating spiritual war…

Genesis 1

Genesis 2

Genesis 3

Genesis 4

Genesis 5

Genesis 6

Genesis 7

Genesis 8

Genesis 9

Genesis 10

Genesis 11

It is my prayer all here will open the following and watch and listen in its entirety. It is that important.

The Importance of Origins – A CROOKED PATH

I hope folks do more than merely reading the Bible. Meditate — think deeply on what is read. Believing every God-breathed Word to the men chosen to be led by the Holy Spirit to give us the words from God for our instruction and understanding. Asking the Holy Spirit for spiritual wisdom in understanding. For no one has any excuse. No one can come back and say, “It was too difficult to comprehend so I didn’t bother.”

Place the words within the Bible well above any words of man. Do not pollute the Word of God with the words of man. Giving the Word of God the authority in ALL THINGS. Not man’s word.
