GOD will not be mocked.
If you are paying any attention to the olympics you are no better than the ones who mocked GOD at the opening of the olympics.
God will not be mocked,
Galatians 6:7-10
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
Praise GOD and worship Him.
1Chronicles 16:23-36
Sing to the LORD, all the earth;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array.
Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
And glory in Your praise.”
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
Psalm 33:8
let all the Earth fear the lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For he spoke and it was done;
He commanded and it stood fast.
Fearing the Lord is not just a simple fear (O I’m afraid of you type fear) but rather a fear of reverence of who the Lord is.
Fear that recognizes the power and the position the Lord has.
A fear that we will drives us to give Him proper respect.
A fear that leads us into obeying Him, worshiping Him, praising Him.
Fear that brings us to the point of not caring what anyone ells may think or say about us.
As Christians are to fear the Lord our GOD not the world.
If we fear the world then we will give in to that fear of:
i'm afraid to say something because of what they others might think or say of me.
Fearing what man may think or say about me or may do to me demands the rejection of the Lord and who He is and the power He holds.
But if i fear the lord then i will be more worried about obeying Him the Lord who spoke all things in to being the One who sealed the mouths of the lions for Daniel, the One who stood with the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furans, the One whose Spirit killed those who lied to Him, the One who gave you breath and can take it away. We should have more fear of Him
The Lord our GOD, than of what anybody else thinks or can do. For man can only kill the body but The Lord GOD can condemn our soil to hell.
In Proverbs 1:7 We are told,
“fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”
Proverbs 1:20-33
¶ Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets, she cries out;
At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Because I called and you refused,
I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;
I will also laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your dread comes,
When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
Then they will call on me,
but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
But he who listens to me shall live securely
And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
The fear of the Lord should (will) bring us to a point of not sinning,
To the point that we are afraid of sinning and offending the Lord our GOD.
But due to their hate for the Lord God the world does not fear GOD.
And instead, they mock Him.
i think that we who do love the Lord our GOD,
weakness on our part we surrender to sin.
But then at that point;
do we really fear the Lord our GOD?
Do we really love Him with all our heart, mind and soul?
We are told those who believe on the Lord Christ Jesus will be saved.
Don’t you think that if you truly believe on the Lord Christ Jesus, know Him, who He is and what He has dune for us that we would that we would not love Him and fear Him in awe and wonder, knowing that He can condemn our souls to hell.
The American church has sold us a week gospel, shouting from the roof tops grace, grace, grace walking away from fearing Father God, from fearing Christ our Lord.
Hell fire and damnation is not spoken of so the body of believers have no true fear of what GOD can and will do to those who do not fear Him.
Those who do not keep His commandments.
They see no real consequences for their thoughts or actions.
Read these words from wisdom in proverbs
Proverbs 1:20 - 33
¶ Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge? (fools heating the knowledge of the LORD)
Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Because I called and you refused,
I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;
I will also laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your dread comes,
When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.
They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
But he who listens to me shall live securely
And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
Do you truly fear the LORD your GOD?
Do you?
Or do you still play around with sin and those who sin?
Are you so entangled with the world and its ways that you do business with those whom you know are supporting sin?
Are you so emotionally attached to the world and the ways of the world that you still participated?
Are you still doing business with target? With amazon? With Disney? Halmark?
Are you still paying attention to the Olympics?
These and many other businesses serve the one who heats the LORD your GOD.
Let’s go back and read aging what the LORD has to say to us the church:
Revelation 2:4-5
“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches
Revelation 2:14-17
“I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.
So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{{{ do you have any concept of what the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans are????
They are heaters of the LORD your GOD! They mock GOD and make fun of HIM, they support evil.
Just like the above-mentioned business.
They spread and encourage immorality.
Do you tolerate them in your life?
Call your self a Christian then you are the church.
Do you fear GOD or what man may say or think. }}}
Revelation 2:20
“I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
{{{ the woman jezebel,,,, really look at what you are watching in the movies, on tv, on the internet, and even hearing in some of the churches.
The jezebels are all around you, the thing is are you listening to them are you tolerating jezebels in your life??? }}}
Revelation 3:2-3
“Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die;
for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.
So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent.
Therefore if you do not wake up,
I will come like a thief,
and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.
Revelation 3:8-11
“I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
‘I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 3:18-20
“I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
We have been and are given opportunity after opportunity to make the right choices and do the right thing.
But do to the lack of fear for the LORD we continue to dabble with the things of this world the things, ways and teaching of the Balaam, the Nicolaitans and the Jezebels.
And in return no longer fear the Lord you God.
Depending on His loving kindness and grace,
but never taking in to consideration His commandments and that He is a just GOD, Who has warned us
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”
Matthew 7:24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house;
and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Will you be the wise or will you be the foolish????
Will you continue to take part with the heaters of GOD, the foolish who say there is no God but yet mock Him???
Will you continue to do business with those who support the evil against Father GOD, against your LORD JESUS????
Will you continue to play the fool for the ungodly in this world?
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says.
