Mercy

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy for the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy.

Jas 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Be that as it may, what use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has mercy, if he does nothing?

Tit 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Tit 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject;

Tit 3:11 Knowing that he who is such, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by himself.

When you saw a brother who is hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to them then you will be cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.

Mt 25:35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Mt 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Apostle Paul obtained mercy and was counted as faithful and was assigned as minister of the Church of God.

1 Tim 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief:

1 Cor 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;

Job, not to mention the Prophets, also obtained mercy from the Lord, for his patience and endurance and remain faithful in spite of the sufferings.

Jas 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

Jas 5:11 Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

We become people of God because of His mercy in Jesus name.

1 Pet 2:10 Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Thank you Jesus for interceding for us always to the Father. Who by all the strife you bore, You redeemed our souls.

1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Tim 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

And this is His prayer to the Father, that we may also be one in them;

Jn 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.

Father look down on us, see our crying heart. We know, You're kind, just and bountiful in love. Have mercy on us all.

Satan

The hardest news and quite disturbing is the agony of one who knowest he is guilty of doing the worst wicked thing. Satan is one freakin shit example of what I am saying because he is already judged.

Jn 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

For his revenge, the Devil came down from heaven as a roaring lion, walketh about on earth, seeking whom he may devour.

Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

He will become the father of all lies where many will follow and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will be turned to fables and inventions of men.

Jn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Satan is very much around, tempting and testing every angle of deception. Beware of this deception, you may be clean today and unclean tomorrow.

Lk 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.

Lk 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

Lk 11:26 Then he goeth and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

The reason why I am asking to myself sometimes, why? What happen to this caring, loving and responsible man turning himself into a son of the devil? Why rape & kill an innocent girl? Isn't it that you are commanded to love your neighbors, even enemies? Is there an escape to this evil trap of lust?

Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary to each other; so that ye cannot do the things that you would want.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.

1 Jn 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 Jn 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Thanks be to God. To God be the glory....

Tares

Why God won't kill the wicked is a show of his loving kindness to the righteous.

Matthew 13:27-29 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

God let them grow together up to the time of harvest, for gathering the weeds early will root up the wheat along with it.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

The parable was explained further by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 13:37-40 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

If we only understand the meaning of this parable, who likes to be tares and be later burned in the fire. Will you?

Ignorance

Job is a man who is blameless and upright that fears God and shuns evil. The reason why he was tempted by the devil until his wife ask him to denounce his faith.

Job 2:10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Job erroneously think that the adversity he accepted comes from God. Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.

James 1:14-15 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

God never gives his Children anything bad.

Luke 11:11-13 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Job mistakenly accused God of giving him the adversity but still committed no sin in the eyes of God for the sin is spoken out of ignorance.

It's the opposite of the law of man where ignorance of the law excuses no one.

Overtime

Be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.

Job 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

While Satan is walking on earth back and forth, his cohorts also travel over land and sea to recruit members.

Matthew 23:15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

Also working overtime is the man of God who run to and fro to preached the gospel unto all nations and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Acts 15:36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.

Finally, Paul finished the race and won.

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Like Paul, let us continue the fight of our faith and return back to righteousness. Let us matched the working of Satan & his cohorts overtime.

Fire From Heaven

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

When the lawless one will no longer be held back and will be taken out, there shall arise false christs and false prophets.

Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

The coming of the anti-Christ is through the activity and working of Satan which will be revealed and will proclaim himself that he is god.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Beware of this lawless one who is the anti-Christ with all power, signs, and lying wonders. Take note and remember these deceiving miracles.

Revelation 13:13-15 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Imagine a fire coming down from heaven and a talking image of the beast that must be worship? Who can resist this great deception? Unless you are warned of its existence. There will be affliction, distress, and oppression beyond what the world has ever seen, or will see again.

Matthew 24:21-22 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

In this period of time, look up in the sky! Jesus is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

As of this date, no one who claims to be god or the son of god, can show great sign of making fire coming down from heaven to earth in the sight of men. Still no one, but be ready when it come.

The Inward Man

Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. It is the outward man that they can kill & destroy.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

That is why, we must be born by the spirit.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you, you are in the Spirit, for those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Moreover, even unclean spirits can enter and dwell in a man.

Mark 5:8-9 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

Imagine a Legion of unclean spirit that can dwell in your body?

Mark 5:13 And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

By definition: A Legion is the major unit of the Roman army consisting of 3,000 to 6,000 infantry troops and 100 to 200 cavalry troops. How unrighteous that one man can be?

Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. Offer your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The Good Field

John 15:1-2 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

God is the gardener and we are His field.

1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

The seeds that He plant within us remains forever.

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,

As a man with the word of God, thoroughly equipped with every good work, we are expected to change our behavior with the world.

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

They begin to think we are different for not joining them as we did before.

1 Peter 4:3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

Finally they will declare us their enemy, a stranger that they know not.

1 Peter 4:4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

They don't understand that we are now the good field with a good seed keeping distance from the weeds sowed by the devil.

Satan The Movie

Remember the scene where Satan tempted Jesus who was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness?

Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

I already read this verse before but the first thing that came to my mind is the showing of only the places that can be seen by an eye far above the high mountain where the devil took Jesus.

For you to show all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, you have to use a medium with the help of a satellite. It is some kind of an illusion to make it appear in front of a viewer. It is like showing a movie.

The tempting scene showed the unlimited power of Satan but it manifested also his very limited power.

Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Clearly, Satan can not make the stones to become bread. It is likely more convincing for him to tempt Jesus who fasted 40 days and 40 nights if he presented a bread instead of stones.

Matthew 4:5-6 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘ He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘ In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’

Satan as a natural brute beasts, a murderer made to be taken and destroyed, can not just push and kick our Lord Jesus Christ down below the pinnacle of the temple. This is a clear manifestation of his very limited power but has the power to deceive the whole world.

Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
