 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: 

If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 

and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, 

God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, 

and from the things which are written in this book. 

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus! 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Revelation 22:18-21

 Overcome Evil With Good

 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21 

We cannot reverse evil with more evil, rather, we must reverse evil with good!

So goes the saying, 'Prevention is better than cure'. "Prevention, in what way?", you may ask. We must first think of the simple, easiest and wise ways that also have no adverse effects. Our bodies have been designed profoundly by an all-wise Creator to overcome many adverse situations. We have an immune system to combat infections. The body systems work well with proper diet, exercise and rest. This is the most important and best personal prevention method.

Secondly, as we have been taught, we should continue to practice good personal hygiene like washing of hands and covering our sneezes and coughs.

Shouldn't there be more emphasis on such things than the more complex and expensive methods of prevention which do not guarantee neither full efficacy nor full safety. If necessary, vaccinations should be considered for those whose immune systems are not strong enough because of their age or physical illnesses, of course, keeping in mind that such people will also be more susceptible to any adverse effects of the vaccines as well!

This situation is also reflected in the spiritual realm. Just as the virus works against the healthy, normal functioning of the body for which it is designed by its Maker, there are demonic thoughts and imaginations that are targeted towards influencing the mind and soul against the purpose for which it was created.

The devil uses individuals who don't acknowledge the Sovereign LORD, to fulfil his purposes. He influences people and uses them to influence others against the truth.

The first step in overcoming such deception is for each one of us to be firmly established in the truth. This will keep us from the effects of the corona virus of the lies of the devil and keep us from being deceived. Towards this, we must make sure we have a healthy diet of the word of GOD, the Holy Spirit infilling through prayer, obedience to the word and Spirit as our spiritual exercise and make sure we don't fall short of entering His rest. This rest to our soul comes through absolute surrender of our mind and all that means life to us, to GOD in worship.  

 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
Hebrews 4:1

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Hebrews 4:9-10

Secondly, we must love others in word and action.

 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:12

We should not sneeze and cough anger, bitterness and envy on them but intercede for them and cover their sin with the blood of JESUS and let His love flow to them through us. Our words should be edifying as we speak the truth in love.

Hitting back at anti-Christian rules, laws and mindsets that arise with the rebellion and fury of the enemy, with similar anger and loveless truth will not be very effective in setting people free of such deceptions. It will also bring about the adverse effects of greater resistance to the truth of GOD'S love. Rather, let us make known the truth with love and spread the influence of CHRIST gently as a fragrance. This will open the eyes of those who are deceived, so that they might know the truth that will set them free.  This has a 0 percent failure rate. 

 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, 

and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

2 Corinthians 2:14

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:32

 Love never fails. 
1 Corinthians 13:8a

The corona virus of the soul is so much more dangerous than the physical corona virus, because it causes mental illness and if not healed, will lead to eternal death of the soul in hell!

The three major concerns these days are, covid 19, ungodly thinking and mindsets of rebellion against the Sovereign Creator GOD (which is the spiritual corona virus) and the bushfires in Australia that remind us of the horror of eternal hell fire.

It is an urgent call for those of us who know the truth, to arise as rescue workers to intercede, lovingly make the truth known and bring in the harvest before the great day of reckoning, the day of the LORD!

 High Things and Things Above

During these turbulent times, what does GOD expect of us as His followers?

1) We need to firstly prepare ourselves for the more difficult times ahead.

I must strengthen myself in the faith by diligent study and memorization of the Scriptures.

I must acquaint myself with the Holy Spirit and learn to live in submission and obedience to Him.

2) We should constantly purposefully humble ourselves by resetting our mind.

It is easy to get caught up with the 'High Things' of this world, politics, controversies about vaccines and so on. It is a snare of the devil to cause Christians to waste time discussing these issues, get worked up, cause unpleasantness and bring rifts between individuals.

Let us read just enough facts about the current news and not go on to fill our mind with copious opinions of people from the media. Let us then seek the LORD so that His opinion might be made known to us.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Romans 12:16

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4

Birds inside can fly as high as the netting of the walk-in aviary. If a bird humbles itself to come down and gets out of the door that is set low, it is free and will fly above the aviary!

Therefore I also, 

after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus 

and your love for all the saints,

 do not cease to give thanks for you, 

making mention of you in my prayers: 

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,

 may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; 

that you may know what is the hope of His calling, 

what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 

and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, 

according to the working of His mighty power

 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead 

and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 

far above all principality and power and might and dominion, 

and every name that is named, 

not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Ephesians 1:15-21

3) Intercede according to GOD'S heart which will effect changes in situations, and people. 

 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord God.
Ezekiel 22:29-31 

4) We must be willing to let go of things and activities in our life by re-ordering our values and priorities. We must discipline ourselves to set aside more time for personal and corporate prayer.

We should also give time to encourage, support and help those whose faith is being tested through trials such as sickness, persecution and poverty.

 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
1 Peter 4:7

5) Look for and take every opportunity to share the love and Good News of the LORD JESUS with others.

EAGLE - LESSONS

EAGLE -  LESSONS

"Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. 

Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you: 

  When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, 

When He separated the sons of Adam, 

He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. 

  For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. 

  "He found him in a desert land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; 

He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. 

  As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, 

Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, 

  So the Lord alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him. 

  "He made him ride in the heights of the earth, 

That he might eat the produce of the fields; 

He made him draw honey from the rock, 

And oil from the flinty rock;

Deuteronomy 32:7-13

 And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, 

"Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 

  'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, 

and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself. 

Exodus 19:3-4

 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: 

"My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God"? 

Have you not known? Have you not heard? 

The everlasting God, the Lord, 

The Creator of the ends of the earth, 

Neither faints nor is weary. 

His understanding is unsearchable. 

He gives power to the weak, 

And to those who have no might He increases strength. 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, 

And the young men shall utterly fall, 

But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; 

They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 

They shall run and not be weary, 

They shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:27-31
