Time Part 6

TIME TO WITNESS

2 Kings 5, Romans 1:16 We should be willing to tell others what the Lord can do.

A little girl is used to help others.

Naaman was Captain of the Syrian Army. He was one of the Kings best men. He was a really brave man, one of valor. He was also a LEPER.
During a war he brought home a young Israel girl. She was to be a servant for his wife. One day she told Naaman’s wife about a man in Israel who God used to heal people.

She was willing to tell others what the Lord can do.

The wife told Naaman and Naaman told the King.
The King wrote a letter to the King of Israel and Naaman took it along with some gifts. The King of Israel sent Naaman to Elisha’s house.

Elisha sent a servant to tell Naaman to wash in the Jordan 7 times.
Naaman got angry. Why couldn’t Elisha just come out an touch him, surely that would heal him. Why did it have to the dirty Jordan river? There were better (cleaner) rivers in Syria, couldn’t he go to one of them?
His friends tell him what the Lord can do IF you obey.
Naaman finally goes to the Jordan and after dipping 7 times, He is washed clean of his Leprosy.

All this happened because a little girl was not afraid to tell others what her Lord could do.

Do you share your faith? To you tell others about God?

Time Part 7

TIME FOR THE LORD JESUS TO COME AGAIN!

Matthew 24 — God must punish sin.

Jesus had been teaching in the Temple.
As he left he warned his followers the Temple would be destroyed.
Later they came to him and wanted to know when it would happen. And when would he come again.
He told them not to be deceived… He gave them signs to watch for …
Wars and rummers of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes on a world-wide scale … These would be but a beginning. He gave them other signs to watch for,
but the best one is when he said “It will be as in the days of Noah”.

Genesis 6 Tells the story of Noah.

The world was evil- wicked- sinful- nobody had time for God.
They not only did these things, there thoughts were evil continually.
God warned them that He would give them 120 years, but nobody headed His warning. He warned that he would destroy the whole face of the earth.
But nobody listened … Awww! God wouldn’t do that.

But Noah believed God. Noah worshipped God. Noah talked with God
God told Noah what He was going to do and what He wanted Noah to do.
Noah, build an ARK. God gave him the plans.

Noah began to build when he was about 480 years old.
He finished when he was 600 years old.
God told Noah to take all the animals, two by two, his family. His wife, his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet and their wives and get into the Ark.
It rained 40 days and 40 nights and they were on the Ark for one whole year.

Yes, God was true to his word. God must punish sin.

What were the days of Noah like before the flood? Just like today.
The people were eating, drinking, marrying, buying and selling. BUT they had forgotten about God They didn’t have time for God. They weren’t putting Him first. They removed Him from all things. JUST LIKE TODAY

Yes, God had to punish the whole world for its sin. AND He will have to do it again.

It’s almost time for the Lord Jesus to return.
First the Rapture, then Tribulation, then 2nd coming.
ARE YOU READY?

Sin, Sins, Sinners

Seven Deadly Sins listed in the Bible are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. The Bible covers topics relating to sin, repentance, forgiveness, salvation, and others that help provide biblical guidance for Christians to follow to resist the temptation of sin.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hebrews 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hebrews 7:26-27 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 10:2-4 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Hebrews 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Hebrews 10:11-2 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:17-18 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Galatians 2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Romans 5:12-14 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Romans 5:19-21 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:6-7 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Romans 6:10-14 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Lust

Noun – very strong sexual desire.
Verb – have a very strong sexual desire for someone
.

Wikipedia – Lust is a craving, it can take any form such as the lust for sexuality, lust for money or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food. Lust is a psychological force producing intense wanting for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.
Bible – uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness.
a passionate or overmastering desire or craving

The basic definition of lust is having a self-absorbed desire for an object, person, or experience. The Bible has a lot to say about lust. The Bible further defines lust as the root of all evil. Lust puts material things above God. It is not material things or money that is evil; it is the lust of material things. Exactly what does the scripture say? The key verse is in 1 John.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Note: pride of life = LUST to be the best

And it all began in the Garden of Eden:
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

good for food lust of the flesh
pleasant to the eyes lust of the eyes
make one wise pride of life
