My home is still standing today because our house was built on the foundation of Christ. We have been blessed with four children and five grandchildren, with one more on the way.
Psalms 127:1 KJV Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalms 127:3 KJV Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
All of our children are professing believers and have been baptized, yet they are at varying degrees of faith—if they have true faith at all. Even so, they have defended their parents' faith and have made it known to others that we believe what we say and are not hypocrites, even though I know we have been hypocritical at times.
Psalms 127:4 KJV As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Psalms 127:5 KJV Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
The physical descendants of Abraham, called Israelites, are not saved by default. They are saved through Christ, like everyone else, or they are not saved at all.
Romans 10:1 KJV Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Romans 10:2 KJV For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans 10:3 KJV For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:4 KJV For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
The law is complex, with many components that no man could possibly keep besides the Son of man, Jesus Christ, and I suppose this is why ‘Son of man’ is mentioned in 77 chapters of the King James Bible. Therefore, it is impossible to be saved by the law. It is also impossible to climb to heaven or to dig up Christ for salvation. However, faith is as near to you as this Word is preached to you.
Romans 10:5 KJV For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Romans 10:6 KJV But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Romans 10:7 KJV Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
Romans 10:8 KJV But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
When I am out and about, this is the back of the card that I share with others. I have been simply saying, 'Here, I would like to share a prayer with you.' I pray that many will call upon the name of the Lord.
Romans 10:9 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 KJV For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:11 KJV For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:12 KJV For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Romans 10:13 KJV For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
God calls, sends, and equips His preachers, whether other preachers get on board and acknowledge such a calling with prayer, fasting, and the laying on of hands or not.
Romans 10:14 KJV How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:15 KJV And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
All of Israel is not the Israel of God.
Romans 10:16 KJV But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
How do we receive God’s gift of faith?
The Word of God.
Romans 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
God has given national Israel many chances to hear His Word. They are without excuse, and if they still refuse, they remain the disobedient and gainsaying people that God has called them, whether or not you believe such a classification is antisemitic. Christian Zionist, if you believe God’s Word is antisemitic, then shake your finger at Him—I dare you.
Romans 10:18 KJV But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
Romans 10:19 KJV But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Romans 10:20 KJV But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Romans 10:21 KJV But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
When the Last Trump sounds, we will meet Christ in the air. He is the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Numbers 10:2 KJV Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
Numbers 10:3 KJV And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
If you understand the Kingship and Authority born from the Tribe of Judah, you will understand why the standard of Judah led the twelve tribes.
Numbers 10:14 KJV In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
There is no greater government than the Government of King Jesus Christ. It’s coming!
Isaiah 32:1 KJV Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
I guarantee you that the state of Antichrist Israel will have no place in this government, not even one lobbying cent.
Isaiah 32:17 KJV And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Isaiah 32:18 KJV And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Women are directly rebuked for a few things in the Bible, and the lazy, couch-potato woman is one of them. I have met a few, and their houses are never tidy. All I can say is that I am glad I am not married to one.
Isaiah 32:9 KJV Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isaiah 32:10 KJV Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isaiah 32:11 KJV Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Father, I’m looking forward to the sound of the trumpet! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
