We Know We Know.

If I say, “I know what is true”, you will ask, “Then why don’t you do it?”  What am I like?  I am like a man who needs to resupply his food.  He knows where the store is.  He has a car outside.  He knows full well how to start the car, drive the roads, park, and shop.  But he sits in his chair hungry and desiring.

 

The statement is true.  He knows how to get food and has the money and means to accomplish what he needs done.  But he chooses folly instead.  This is a truth about all men, isn’t it?  Folly attends our waking hours like some kind of black mold.

 

Your question is fully warranted.  But we must realize something here.  Asking “Then why don’t you do it?”, shows that you too know that it should be done.  We are all at fault for not doing what we KNOW needs done.

Hells Gates

Listen.  Can you hear it? can you perceive it?

It is the rustling of perfect robes as men take their place for the grand finale.  It is the flutter of Fire as the messengers of God take the place assigned to them 10000 years ago.  It is the preparation for that half hour of silence in all of heaven.

Hell is about to break loose on the sons of men.

Have you prepared with them?  Is the oil in your lamp to the full mark?   Are you one of those of whom it will be said “He waited for the Lord.”?

Hell is about to break loose on the sons of men.

Such, receive the promise

When you’re invited to a feast of a king it is best to be washed and dressed appropriately.  How much more does this apply to the king of kings?

What does it mean to be dressed and washed?  We are to be washed in his blood using only his sacrifice to clean us.  And we are to be dressed in his perfect holiness.  It is not acceptable to appear in our own. Our holiness is not clean and white enough.  Didn’t you realize the Father himself will appear?

And we can be sure we are invited.  Not only because he cannot lie, but also because we share in his ministry.  Those who will attend the banquet of the Lord are doing so now.  Such men and women are busily preparing to attend.  They too are engaged in the work the Lord has accomplished.

The Lord spoke of such who do not prepare to attend, and when asked how they got in, they have nothing to respond.  He has ordered them taken out cut to pieces and assigned a place with unbelievers.

Upon hearing these things why would you not choose to prepare?  Why would you let fear over rule your desire to attend?  Those who love him, those who obey the fathers commands, those who believe and prepare, those who watch. 

Such receive the promise

Men say:

“I want: a new car, a house (a really nice house!), to matter, lots of money, tons of free stuff, to live in a tropical paradise, to be loved by everyone, to live peaceably, power among men, to never get old, to live in great ease without a single worry, to want.”

God’s response:

“I want: humble servants, godly people, obedient people, to be worshiped above all else, men and women who are ready to die rather than be selfish, a merciful people, a righteous people, people who work hard to provide for others, people who love My Son more than themselves, people full of faith regardless what comes to them, to give these people what they need, to reward according to My eternal riches, you to see Me as I am, a people with clean hands and a pure heart so they can ascend My Holy Hill.”

Who will step up from the debasing hatred of God to the place where He is loved above all other things in this world?  Who will lay down everything for the hope He offers?  Many say “I will”, but later do not.  What is the living definition of faithfulness?

 

The Prostitution of Greed

For the sake of gain, you men of the world, you entice with woman.  Everywhere I look the unholy appears before me.

Is this all you have?  Is this the sum of your enticements?  Does greed cover you so completely that you would even sell your daughters for the sake of gain?

You call it innocent to offer the pictures of your female children along side advertisements meant to fill your pockets.  And the least offensive among your greedy advertisements is repulsive in itself.  You do not tell the truth to gain what can be kept, or that which is due you by just scales.  Instead you proclaim that if we look and desire what you offer, your daughters will dress the walls of our hearts with desire.

Foolishness abounds in this age of pictures.  Prostitution of family has become the accepted way to sell the things you know very well we don’t need.  But you want for yourself.  You call it competition.  And you think that you need to capture, from among men, those your wicked brother has already captured.  So you sell what should not be sold.

So be it.  Fill up, then, what is lacking in your sins.  Debase the mothers of your grandchildren.  Sell them as a token of greed.  Amass to yourself the very things you can not keep.   All the while teaching that greed is best and dedication to what is holy is non-profit.  You decide by yourselves what will be your challenge when you stand before Him naked and void of answer.

Perception

Perception (Photo credit: Genna G)

I have often had rather harsh words with atheists.  But I will admit something crucial.  Those who are active atheists are not stupid people.  And though they stand in their life as enemies of the Cross of Christ, they are not my personal enemy.  That is to say, if I met them on the street and we had the kinds of discussions we have here, I can assure you there would be absolutely no physical signs of hatred.  We are enemies of concept, at the least, and of pride, to say the most.

I write this because I know that these men consider what presents itself to their senses.  And they are just as adept at perception of possible lies as I am in the Lord.  The only difference, as the chasm it is, is that they rely on what is seen alone while Christians are able to rely on both the perceived and the invisible.

These men (ok….. and women) are not stupid.  And once they have perceived something worth looking into they will pounce on it like a hungry tiger.  The same vigor they use to fight for the sake of what is perceived is the same strength they will use once they taste a possible truth in the message of Christianity.  And if one of them comes to know the Lord, watch out!  All heaven on earth is about to break loose.
