This is dated Friday, June 07, 2013. It is so long we must break it in two! As I look over history, I find GLARING CONTRADICTIONS between what has been alluded to, and old fashioned reason! Even so, PENTECOST DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO; the 120 were EMPOWERED, with AUTHORITY, and POWER, which WAS BEYOND HUMAN CAPABILITY! In spite of that, and shortly thereafter, the PEOPLE OF THE WAY began TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN! The BIRTH OF JESUS, HIS LIFE, DEATH, RESURRECTION and ASCENSION paved the way for the COMPLETE and TOTAL FULFILLMENT OF Genesis 3:15. But simultaneously, THE RESISTANCE GREW MUCH WORSE! In the event that we, in the FREE WORLD, have forgotten, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! This terrible matchup, between good, and evil, began with round one! This was when the devil, a rebel angel, received the left foot of fellowship, and the backside of the fiend bounced upon the stone cold earth! That was in the Middle East and soon he trespassed into Eden! And thereafter, the monster took our kind DOWN! It required THE BLOOD OF JESUS to BEGIN the reversal process! His was the SUPREME SACRIFICE, THE INNOCENT LAMB, which was needed! Nevertheless, this was but round two! Several centuries were stretched out before Jesus could return as THE CONQUEROR! Several actions MUST TRANSPIRE, before Our Lord could return! But when He does, THAT EVENT WILL BE MORE THAN A T-K-O! The ARMIES OF THE LORD will TRIUMPH, with a COMPLETE, and CRUSHING, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! Nonetheless, until then, the battles are waged, in hot and heavy ways! After Calvary, the tide turned, and subsequently, we see the ECCLESIA moving in the POWER OF GOD, but there were consequences, for upsetting the devil’s apple cart! Persecution began, in earnest, and all, but one, of the apostles suffered THE DEATH OF A MARTYR! Peter was crucified, UPSIDE DOWN! Christians were boiled, beheaded and before long, the Caesars were entertaining the masses, by burning believers at the stake! Innumerable, men, women, and even children, were fed to lions, to satisfy the blood lust of the crowds driven by their master, sneaky snake! We might suppose the serpent WAS MAD . . . VERY, VERY FURIOUS! Was this, satanic wrath, BEING POURED OUT? Paul had a lot of nerve, if what he wrote IS NOT THE TRUTH! 2nd Corinthians 4:3-4 was penned, by his hand, and this is what he sent to the Corinthian Congregation! IF OUR GOSPEL BE HID, IT IS HID TO THEM THAT ARE LOST: 4 IN WHOM THE god OF THIS WORLD HATH BLINDED THE MINDS OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE NOT, LEST THE LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, SHOULD SHINE UNTO THEM. So we must know, the dragon was exercising, A HUGE AMOUNT OF CONTROL! The fallen angelic horde was more active than most humans will ever believe or know! As a matter of FACT Jesus had something to say about the adversary! He name is sneaky snake and Jesus called him, THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD, three times, in John’s gospel! THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD has caused THE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST GREAT ANGUISH! We find True disciples have suffered! SO WHAT MAKES US THINK THIS WILL EVER CHANGE! Our enemy has goals, and Jesus told us all about those devilish objectives! Look up John 10:10. To drive this home, try this passage on for size, and after that, borrow a copy of Foxes Book of Martyrs! Obviously, the verses found before that which we are about to share ARE IMPORTANT, and INCREDIBLE DELIVERANCES are a matter of record! But real CHRISTIANS have SUFFERED, grievously, FOR THE NAME OF CHRIST! Anyhow read Hebrews 11:35-40 with me now, and at your leisure read the whole of the text from your own Bibles! WOMEN RECEIVED THEIR DEAD RAISED TO LIFE AGAIN: AND OTHERS WERE TORTURED, NOT ACCEPTING DELIVERANCE; THAT THEY MIGHT OBTAIN A BETTER RESURRECTION: 36 AND OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF CRUEL MOCKINGS AND SCOURGINGS, YEA, MOREOVER OF BONDS AND IMPRISONMENT: 37 THEY WERE STONED, THEY WERE SAWN ASUNDER, WERE TEMPTED, WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD: THEY WANDERED ABOUT IN SHEEPSKINS AND GOATSKINS; BEING DESTITUTE, AFFLICTED, TORMENTED; 38 (OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY :) THEY WANDERED IN DESERTS, AND IN MOUNTAINS, AND IN DENS AND CAVES OF THE EARTH. 39 AND THESE ALL, HAVING OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT THROUGH FAITH, RECEIVED NOT THE PROMISE: 40 GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOME BETTER THING FOR US, THAT THEY WITHOUT US SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT. We DO KNOW Jesus gave the Ecclesia UNPRECEDENTED POWER but THAT POWER WAS PRIMARILY, TO BE INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE WITNESSES, TO THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST! FURTHERMORE, JESUS strictly told His Chosen Ones to NOT BE concerned about too much more than to be about the business at hand! That was to make disciples! He said to NOT TO WORRY ABOUT TIMES OR SEASONS! He did, on the other hand, give an order . . . If in doubt, it is written in Matthew 28:18-20
