#Revelation 17:1

[whatudottu]

Bestie I have got to tell you Mal TD totally listens to the Shadow the Hedgehog OST, and depending on the Total Drama timeline it would literally be perfect timing like- you can’t tell me this edgy teen nerd didn’t see a Sonic character with a gun and DIDN’T think it was cool, come on!

God looks on the heart is often used as a comforting verse and there is much truth to that but let us remember that if we harbor evil in our heart God will judge that.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew 5:28

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John 3:15

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isaiah 14:13

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17:10

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 (TPT). “He will keep you steady and strong to the very end, making your character mature so that you will be found innocent on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is forever faithful and can be trusted to do this in you, for he has invited you to co-share the life of his Son, Jesus, the Anointed One, our King!”

Revelation 17:14 (NLT). “Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”

Well Worth the Wait

7 Now, therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel, 8 and I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 9 And I will appoint a place for my…

Revelation 21: The New Jerusalem

The purity of this city, the Bride of the Lamb, the brilliancy, the transparency, put the tawdry gaudiness of Babylon to shame. #Revelation21 #NewJerusalem #AlphaandOmega

Then one of the seven angels who were holding the seven ceremonial bowls—those which were filled with the last seven plagues— came out and spoke with me, saying, “Now, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” Then he carried me in the Spirit up onto a mountain, massive and lofty, and showed me the city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, having the glory of God: her…

Free Will Verses Election: Solved

By Greg Holt   Many are the proponents that will side with man having free will, and why would they not?  Many if not most of us would like to think that we are free to make our own choices.  Then there are those who believe in election, and many in both camps say that the two are mutually exclusive. The two camps on the issue of how we come to Christ are free will, and election.  Man’s free will…

The Relationship Between Farming and Holiness

Analogies are helpful and here is a good one from a godly leader who now lives with Jesus. Jerry Bridges was a long time staff member with the Navigators, a discipleship ministry that started in the military but has expanded in to worldwide discipling movement.   Wise words from Jerry Bridges and his classic book The Pursuit of Holiness. Here’s the analogy that Bridges uses: “Farming is a joint…

The Punishment of the Great Prostitute

Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.” — Revelation 17:1-2 | Berean Reader's Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean Bible.

Introduce a character with the ability to change their appearance, creating doubt and suspicion within the group.

16. The Truth About the Mentor:

The mentor figure, who initially seems wise and benevolent, is unveiled as the story's true antagonist.

17. The Lost Artifact:

The much sought-after artifact or treasure turns out to be a fake, and the real item is something entirely unexpected.

18. The Pseudo-Death:

Fake a character's death to shock the audience and later reveal they were alive all along.

19. The Prophecy Reversed:

Subvert the traditional hero's journey by defying a prophesized destiny and taking the story in a different direction.

Reveal that the narrator has been lying or misrepresenting events, casting doubt on the entire story's accuracy.

Amen! This is exactly what the Lord has been showing me: His Presence is here even when life is hard and by His Grace He's never leaving nor forsaking me.. when I struggle He isn't giving up on me but rather holding me. 😭

Our God is the Father of Compassion. 💙 He is Emmanuel: God With Us.

Jesus is Light! 'Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” ~ John 8:12

With Jesus holding us, even in our darkest moments we won't be enfolded in darkness but in His Warmth.. the Light of Life. 💛

'If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with You." ~ Psalm 139:12. I really thought of this Scripture here. No amount of darkness is dark to God and even our darkest places are as light with Him.

So when He holds us through the darkness, and we lean on God, who is Light and in Whom there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5), we will find that as He sits with us in the darkness we are no longer sitting in darkness, but in the Light that is God's Love. Christ is the Light that has overcome the darkness!

And another beautiful and powerful promise to remember is… The darkness WON'T always be here! (Revelation 22:5 says there will be no night in eternity and no lamp or sun needed for the Lord Himself will be our Light!)

The darkness will be no more.. while God -the same God of Compassion who carried us through the darkness- will truly be here forevermore. One of my favorite Scriptures, James 1:17, describes God as the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. God is forever the same, unaffected by shadows, His Grace is forever the same through all eternity.

Darkness fades away, but the Light of the world shines eternally. <3 Wounds are healed, with the Healer of our hearts eternally caring for us. <3 There will be no more pain, no more death, no more sorrows... and the God who held us through them all will be with us for all eternity. <333

The God who is with us now is with us always. (Emmanuel is the same yesterday today and forever.) He is the Beginning and the End, the King who reigns eternally; after darkness passes away the Lord's eternal reign remains with His Glory shining forever and ever bright!

If the darkness will always be here, so will God. He’ll sit in its midst with us, holding our sometimes-desperate, flailing hearts. We won’t be alone. Maybe that’s all we need to know to get through.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

(Revelation 1:17-18, ESV)

Overcome Evil by The Spirit of The Lord (231) - February 3 2024

Play on other Podcast Apps It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack.

Understanding the Fear of God: Impact on Faith and Wisdom

It is vital to rest in God's love, but that love is best understood when seen against the backdrop of His awe-inspiring greatness and our own need for His mercy. This perspective doesn’t just comfort us; it transforms us, grounding us in true wisdom that

Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash Introduction Proverbs 9:10-12 provides profound insights into the interconnectedness of the fear of God, faith, wisdom, and God’s love. These verses emphasize that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and that understanding leads to a fulfilling life.

Revelation 21: Template of Eternity

Many see John’s vision as a literal dissolving away of creation as we now know it and the creation of a new universe that is yet to be. #Revelation21 #AlphaandOmega #NewHeavens #NewEarth

John begins his oracle with the same sweeping away of creation he announced previously. Compare the two entries: “Then I saw a throne, immense, white, and the one sitting upon it, from before the face of him flew the earth and the sky, and a place not discovered for them.” “… Then I saw a fresh new sky and a fresh new earth: for the first sky and the first earth went away, and the sea is no…
