A BETTER world

 

Galatians 3:26-29

King James Version

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 

have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.


We could all use a better world.

A kinder, sweeter, more compassionate, and humane world.

Where there are no corrupt governments.

No abusive officials, and wasteful programs.

Where all have a home, and country, to be safe in.

Where there's love in the family.

Where there's food on the table.

Where there's peace at home.

Where there's worthwhile work.

Where there's love, and respect, for all.

Where all cooperate, for the good of all.

I long, dream, work, and pray for such a time.


All this is possible, if we have GOD.

He set the rules.

All we have to do, is follow them.

JESUS showed us how.

But oftentimes, man deviates, thinking he knows better.

Most of all, CHRIST's enemy corrupts us at every turn.

He always tries to undo, or sabotage, GOD's plans for us.

I said he "tries", for the enemy doesn't necessarily succeed.


We cannot change the world.

But we can change our thinking.

We can change the terrible within.

We can focus on GOD, for a change.

We can be born again, for one.

All I'm able to tell you, comes from being born again.

GOD's SPIRIT teaches me everything I need to know.

Such as the stuff below:


May we never forget GOD created us.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


May we never forget He gave us the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.


May we never forget He makes everything possible.

Matthew 19:26

King James Version

26 But Jesus beheld them, 

and said unto them, 

With men this is impossible; 

but with God all things are possible.


May we never forget we are totally reliant on JESUS.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


May we never forget SPIRIT is the Source of TRUTH about JESUS.

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


May we never forget JESUS conquered sin, and death, for us.

Hebrews 2:14 

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


Every day is a chance to do better.

To think better.

To love better.

To know GOD more.

But we can only succeed, if we are CHRIST-like.


Unless we follow JESUS, we will fail.

Unless we are born again, we cannot be taught by SPIRIT.

Unless we love GOD, we kid ourselves.

Unless we are teachable, we will never learn.

Unless we're so tired of how the world is, we would never want change.


We are all like wildflowers.

Swaying with the wind.

Having different breeds.

Having different colors.

Having different lives.

Having different heights.

Having different qualities.

And yet, the GOOD LORD made us all.

NOT about RACE

 

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.


The world has politicized race too much.

Whenever convenient, politicians use race, to win votes.

Claiming they care for this, and that.

That they promise to give this, or that.

When, in truth, it's merely to further their motives.

We also know every politician has a personal agenda.

They can lie to people, but they can't lie to GOD.

The LORD sees all our goings-on.


There is a race, to tackle race, and yet people get razed.

People get "burned" from false promises.

People get "burned" from Satan's hatred.

Especially when you refer to the Jews.

Boy, the world seems to pour out venom.


It's time to end all this "race" agenda.

Let SPIRIT and Scripture set the record straight.

You will see that CHRIST's enemy has "fed" us lies.

In sharp contrast, GOD's WORD always speaks truth.

Consider these discoveries --

Which shall banish all racial tension forever.


There is only ONE CREATOR.

Acts 17:24

King James Version

24 God that made the world and all things therein, 

seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, 

dwelleth not in temples made with hands;


Who gave us LIFE.

Acts 17:25

King James Version

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, 

as though he needed any thing, 

seeing he giveth to all life, 

and breath, 

and all things;


Who made ONE race.

Acts 17:26

King James Version

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men 

for to dwell on all the face of the earth, 

and hath determined the times before appointed, 

and the bounds of their habitation;


Who does NOT play favorites.

Acts 10:34

King James Version

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, 

and said, 

Of a truth I perceive that God 

is no respecter of persons:


Who LOVES ALL who love Him.

Acts 10:35

King James Version

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, 

and worketh righteousness, 

is accepted with him.


Who SAVES ALL who asks to be saved.

Romans 10:12-13

King James Version

12 For there is no difference 

between the Jew and the Greek: 

for the same Lord over all 

is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.


Who only CARES that you BELIEVE.

Galatians 3:28

King James Version

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.


Who gives the SAME PROMISE to ALL BELIEVERS.

Galatians 3:29

King James Version

29 And if ye be Christ's, 

then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.


Who looks NOT at "race".

Colossians 3:11

King James Version

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, 

circumcision nor uncircumcision, 

Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: 

but Christ is all, and in all.


Don't you LOVE the clarity of GOD's TRUTH?

SPIRIT and Scripture give you all that.

They teach me everything I need to know.

Had the LORD not made me born again nearly 57 months ago, I'd still be going around in circles.

As most everyone does in the world who are not taught by His SPIRIT.

But He took mercy on this persevering soul.

And I'm grateful to GOD for it.

I can't bear giving you anything false.

I don't want hell to have my soul.


The Bible is also particular about "strangers'.

That they have rights, too.

On ISRAEL's rights

 Zechariah 2:8-9

King James Version

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

After the glory hath he sent me 

unto the nations which spoiled you: 

for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, 

and they shall be a spoil to their servants: 

and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.


Israel has rights.

As do every nation.

But why is she so hated?

These I found, as SPIRIT guided me early this morning.

He knew I sought to be fair, just, and Biblical.

A born again always looks to the Bible.

GOD's WORD holds ALL the truth we need to know.


Israel is hated, because she is so loved by GOD.

Because the enemy of CHRIST hates GOD.

Anything GOD loves, surely, the enemy will hate.

Wiping the world of GOD's chosen nation won't ever happen.

In GOD's eyes, she is like a "valley of dry bones".

But she is perfect for His divine purpose.

GOD will protect her, as He has always done.

His covenant is with Her, despite her many failings.


GOD has a plan for her, as He has a plan for all of us.

That the faithful may not perish, but the wicked will.

The law of GOD stands.

And these are Israel's rights.

As instituted by GOD, through His prophet Isaiah:

Isaiah 54:1-3

King James Version

54 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; 

break forth into singing, and cry aloud, 

thou that didst not travail with child: 

for more are the children of the desolate 

than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, 

and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: 

spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; 

and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, 

and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.


Isaiah 54:4-5

King James Version

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: 

neither be thou confounded; 

for thou shalt not be put to shame:

 for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, 

and shalt not remember 

the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 For thy Maker is thine husband; 

the Lord of hosts is his name; 

and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; 

The God of the whole earth shall he be called.


Isaiah 54:6

King James Version

6 For the Lord hath called thee 

as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, 

and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, 

saith thy God.


Isaiah 54:7-8

King James Version

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; 

but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; 

but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, 

saith the Lord thy Redeemer.


Isaiah 54:9

King James Version

9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me:

 for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah 

should no more go over the earth; 

so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, 

nor rebuke thee.


Isaiah 54:10

King James Version

10 For the mountains shall depart, 

and the hills be removed; 

but my kindness shall not depart from thee, 

neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, 

saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.


Isaiah 54:11-12

King James Version

11 O thou afflicted, 

tossed with tempest, 

and not comforted, 

behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, 

and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates,

 and thy gates of carbuncles, 

and all thy borders of pleasant stones.


Isaiah 54:13

King James Version

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; 

and great shall be the peace of thy children.


Isaiah 54:14

King James Version

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: 

thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: 

and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.


Isaiah 54:15

King James Version

15 Behold, 

they shall surely gather together, 

but not by me: 

whosoever shall gather together against thee 

shall fall for thy sake.


Isaiah 54:16-17

King James Version

16 Behold, 

I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, 

and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; 

and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 

and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment 

thou shalt condemn. 

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 

and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.


Now we know the "heritage" of Israel -- the servant of the LORD.

She is not perfect, but GOD chose her.

Isaiah 43:21 

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.


Who are we to question GOD's will?

Who are we to question His ways?

Who are we to question His wisdom?

We do not have such power to defy the LORD.

Forget such foolish thoughts.

Scripture tells us so:

Isaiah 14:1

King James Version

14 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, 

and will yet choose Israel, 

and set them in their own land: 

and the strangers shall be joined with them, 

and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.


Isaiah 14:24

King James Version

24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,

 Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; 

and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:


Isaiah 14:27

King James Version

27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, 

and who shall disannul it? 

and his hand is stretched out, 

and who shall turn it back?


The next post tells us more about a "hot" issue.

But is it really about "race" at all?
