We Christians too often fall out of touch with the invincibility that comes with Christ in us!
Any day can be a start-over-fresh-day as a Christian because of grace, and if we will just humble ourselves under the mighty power of God, He will indeed, at just the right time, lift us up in honor, according to His inerrant and infallible living promise in 1 Peter 5:6.
And because His living word also promises exaltation to those willing to humble themselves in Matthew 23:12, as well as knowing we have no sins to be forgiven for, considering all past, current, and future sins were forgiven at salvation, never to be remembered again, all because of grace by definition, we can get back on track knowing we are truly blessed, prosperous, redeemed, forgiven, healthy, whole, talented, creative, confident, secure, disciplined, focused, prepared, qualified, motivated, valuable, free, determined, equipped, empowered anointed, accepted and approved, not average or mediocre, a child of the living God, His friend, His brother/sister, joint heir, and full of His wisdom, His knowledge, His understanding, and full of His purpose to become all He created us to be, thank you, Jesus.
What's with the masks? What can good and evil have in common? What's the relationship between light and darkness, other than ZERO, ZIP, absolutely nothing? You can't see how foolish you look for the fools you are. Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on? (Psalm 94:8)
1 John 1:5-6 tells us: "5 God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth."
Psalm 91:3,6,9,10 tells us: "3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 9 If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, 10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home."
When unquestionably, one of the most powerful, influential, and prolific inspirational speakers in the world, FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, is telling you over and over again that it's not the 'how' but the 'who' we need to focus on in becoming everything we were created to be, fulfilling God's purpose within us, and we continue to believe we could die amidst a fake pandemic or otherwise, is there a more appropriate one word cliché to get my point across than *** DUH! *** That's not faith, that's fear!
Jesus says it best to John in Revelation 3:16, "But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" In other words, because you choose to love and trust the world along side of me, thanks but no thanks; either for me, or against me.
With that said, knowing Joel Osteen bowed to the demonic mandates, when he and others with such large influence missed their golden opportunity to stand for God, against the devil, daring to trust their God to protect His ministries, funds included, I'm confident they will also be held accountable, although, most certainly not in a fashion of losing salvation.
Our goal while on earth is to please God (2 Cor 5:9), and when we do not, 2 Corinthians 5:10 tells us plainly, "For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body." Is 'NOT SHOWING COURAGE,' in the face of such difficult times, the biggest lie and attack against mankind, the PlanDemic, not such a time we must have courage, believe and not doubt?
For the record, standing before Christ to be judged, I believe, relates to being judged in respect to position or responsibilities in heaven, and not to be confused with the judgement of God during the Tribulation period - for which Christians alive and those pre-deceased in Christ, will rise with Jesus in the air during the Rapture, missing the judgement of God.
So much potential, so little trust, is something I also believe is going to change, hopefully by the end of December of this year, 2022, following November mid-term elections in the USA. Perhaps before spring of 2023 the world will not only be exposed to how very real the devil and his evil is, but more so, seeing how they have been deceived into believing lies as truth, and the only truth as the lie.
His will be done, not ours, His perfect timing, not ours - because apart from the living truth of Jesus Christ Living God, promised Messiah and Savior of the world, we can do nothing - and only in and through Him are all things possible, with a fair opportunity for love, joy, peace, and equality to spread throughout all four quarters of the globe, amen, and amen.
