2-27-20 Better Than a Multimillionaire

Daily Devotion: Better Than a Multimillionaire - by Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org
 
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. - Jude 1:1
 
I heard about a woman who went to the bank where she had her accounts and said, "I want to open up a joint bank account."
 
"Who would you like to open it up with?" the employee asked.
 
"A multimillionaire," she answered. "Do you know any?"
 
If you're a Christian, you have a joint account with someone better than a multimillionaire. You have a joint account with the Creator of the universe.
 
The psalmist wrote, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills-from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber" (121:1-3 NKJV). The Lord is your keeper.
 
We find this in the New Testament as well. In 1 Peter 1:5 we read that we are "kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time" (NKJV), and Jude 1:1 says we are "called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ" (NKJV).
 
"Preserved in Christ" is an interesting phrase that means "continually kept." In the original language it refers to a continuing result of a past action. Let's say you've made the final mortgage payment on your house. You don't have to keep paying the bank. It's your house. Just enjoy it.
 
In the same way, your salvation is bought and paid for. You are not going to lose it, so enjoy it. You are kept by God.
 
If there is something you value, you tend to keep your eye on it. And if there is someone you value, you keep your eye on them.
 
God will keep you. He will keep you to the end.

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

9-17-23 It's Coming

It Is Coming - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/it-is-coming-by-daymond-duck/ On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this comi

9-18-23 Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022

Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022 – By Hal Lindsey - https://harbingersdaily.com/rage-against-jesus-and-his-people-the-ominous-trend-of-2022/ By the end of 2022, eight billion people lived on the earth. They were besieged by a series of plagues, droughts, false prophets, war, the threat of greater war, hatred, rage, theft, and violence. The eight billion were fragmented in a variety of ways — according to their nations, level of income, race, gender, various understandings of gender and human sexuality, along with religion or the lack thereof. Change became overwhelming to most of the eight billion. For those over 40, it was almost unfathomable that by the end of 2022, not even half the students at Cambridge University identified as heterosexual. In 2022, deception ruled the day. Trust in government, educational institutions, and the news media had been largely obliterated. Trust in health officials and doctors had become severely damaged. In suc
