 An IMPORTANT Message from Jesus Christ to the Church - Revelation Chapter 2 - Last Days - End Times

What is happening in the Church today? Why are people suffering from hardships, stress, anxiety, and fear? Why is sin so prevalent in the Church? Why is the Church content with its relationship with Father God? 

To answer this, we need to show you a section from the second chapter of the book of Revelation. Here is found a message from the Lord Jesus Christ to His Church. What Jesus has to say is very profound and applicable for today. This video has artistic illustrations and Christian music.

The Prophecies of Balaam About Israel and How They Also Apply to the Church

The Bible is full of riches and great treasure. (See Proverbs 3:13-15 and all of Proverbs 3). It is unfathomable wealth set before us and all we have to do is look to God to guide us in understanding and receiving it. The Holy Bible is full of awesome truth which will set us free from the devil's lies. The books of Proverbs and Psalms speak of how rich and priceless God's Word and God's wisdom are. God wants us to depend on Him to understand what we should do, and where we should go, and what God's Word is telling us. The Holy Spirit works through the Holy Bible to reveal awesome truths to us, if we want Him to. 

In the book of Numbers, chapters 23 and 24, we read how a prophet called Balaam was told to prophecy destruction and call curses down on Israel, but he sought what God would have him say, and Balaam's words were inspired by the Spirit of God. They speak of how God will bless those who trust in Him, and how God will bless the nation of Israel. We Christians are en-grafted into the blessings of Israel by the blood of Jesus (Romans 11). So, these promises also apply to us, as they do to the nation of Israel. We Christians can personalize these promises for us and even speak of them out loud. Of course, sin that we refuse to forsake will keep these promises from being fulfilled, until we repent of the sin.

Let's now look at Numbers chapter 23, verses 4 through 10.

"[4.] And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 

5. And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

6. And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

Forgiveness Is Important to Living a Christian Life, and Having God's Blessing, and Having God's Peace

Forgiveness Is Important to Living a Christian Life, and Having God's Blessing, and Having God's Peace

People have wronged us. It happens throughout life and it happens to everyone. Due to the sin nature, people can be cruel and uncaring of each other, but forgiving those who have wronged us a necessary to our healing and growth and to staying in communion or fellowship with God. Without forgiveness, humanity would self-destruct. 

King David forgave King Saul, who sought to kill him; and who took his wife, Michal, from him; and who killed many priests of the Lord. God blessed him for that and David was crowned king and given power over the land of Israel and over his enemies. God blessed him for forgiving his enemies. David lamented over Saul when he heard of his death during a battle with the Philistines (2 Samuel 1:17-27). He also forbid his men from doing any harm to Saul when Saul was, unknowingly, in one of the caves David and his men were hiding in (1 Samuel 24).

Forgiveness is a choice. It is not a feeling. And, faith is a choice, and it is not a feeling. That is why Jesus told the ruler of the synagogue, whose daughter had just died, "...Be not afraid, only believe."

Chapter Twenty-Seven

PART 27: “Flying Menace / Medvedski"

________________________________________

“Flying Menace”

[Earlier:]

“You sure have strong faith in God’s power. I wish I had that faith,” Inga said from the shadows of the bush she was hiding under.

“You can have that faith,” Karl said, “by just simply making the choice to believe God over how you feel. And, you will see God work powerfully. Faith is really just a choice. It is not a feeling.”

Karl, Inga, Toben, Elise, and Abdul were in a forest in Norway seeking to escape the communistic authorities of the new authoritarian puppet government. They had just met a young, Muslim family who had fled from authorities since the man of the household, Musa, had stolen 150,000 rubles*. [* It is roughly $5,000 U.S. dollars. In the future, 30 rubles will be roughly equal to one dollar from 2017. That is what God showed this writer.]

“So, you’re saying that faith has nothing to do with having a feeling that you have faith?” Inga said.

(Forest at night. Click for source.)

“Faith is a decision to trust God over how you feel,” Karl said without any hesitation.

A buzzing sound reached Karl’s ears and he looked up. Turning around, he noticed a dark object blotting out part of the early night sky. Stars were just starting to appear but the moon had not risen above the horizon yet. It was a large, armed, quad-rotor drone, and it was now approaching Karl and his friends with the certainty of having spotted its targets. It was in the air 280 yards away.

“Everyone, get down! A drone is coming!” Elise shouted from another bush a few yards away.

____  ____  ____

[Now:]

“There is no need to fear. God protected Daniel in the lions’ den. And, God protected us earlier from a drone,” Karl said as he stooped to pick up a round rock on the ground.

“You’re right, Karl. The bullets it fired at us fell to the ground. I am going to act in faith regardless of how I feel,” Elise said before she started crawling out of the bushes. She stood to her feet.

With leaves in her hair, she stood straight and began praying.

The drone was now 100 yards away and slowly closing.
