“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” mat 16:26 nkjv I think there's a lot of things going on that will make people turn their attention to making hard choices… even choices that will cost some their very souls… tragically, because as noted in John 3:16-17, Yahweh truly did the fullest by giving His only begotten son, so men could have salvation. I received the following message from an Instagram post, by Israeli Minister and blogger who’s Instagram news is unlike what you will get from normal media sources, especially the mainstream cartel that lies and censors things they don’t want published… who would have thought 30 years ago that we would see this kind of misrepresentation from journalist who’s job is to expose corrupt institutions and political scoundrels. The Instagram blogger is Amir Tsarfati, and if you want accurate Middle east information, you can get hourly updates and more form Amir’s Instagram site at: https://www.instagram.com/amir.tsarfati/ His website is: https://beholdisrael.org/ Amir wrote the following: The World markets are crashing down!
It’s a good day to be reminded of the words God gave to the Jewish prophet Jeremiah: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” And then be reminded of the Good News the Jewish apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” [end of Amir’s post] Yes, these are times when our hearts need searching… especially letting Yahweh’s Holy Spirit have free and open access to our hearts and minds… we can’t allow a deceitful heart to mess up our relationship with the only source of salvation and protection we have in these turbulent days. David Said: “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. 19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. 20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” ps 139:17-24 nkjv I recently posted a “current-events” update for August 2024 [crisis ahead]… It tells of many things that should cause us to realize we need “searched hearts” and that we must seek to have favor with the Almighty, because nothing else will save us or give us peace.” Shalom, John |
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.” ps 139:1-3 nkjv |
