That At The Name Of Jesus Every Knee Should Bow And Confess That Jesus Is Lord! - Part 2256

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)
What future is there when people vainly conspire against the Almighty God? When nations choose to create futile plans? And these same foolish leaders plan their little plots against the Lord God of hosts? The global turmoil that emerges should be apparent, particularly when the kings and rulers of the earth assemble themselves together with a common cause against you Lord and against You in Christ.

This chaos is clearly explained in prophecy, and now to the point wherein the front page news of every nation can be equated in some part to the scriptures. Are we paying attention? Because right now, they are mustering together against Thy holy child Jesus whom the Lord anointed and consecrated and marked out as Messiah (or God with us).

"And ye shall call His Name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins. Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us ..." (Matthew 1:21-23)

But it was not only Herod and Pontius Pilate that conspired with the nations. The people of Israel also conspired against the Lord's Christ! Indeed, at one time or another, all unredeemed men and women plotted to carry out the same deeds and thoughts that Thy hand and Thy will had destined should happen from the beginning. Thus, in order to remit the sins that had entered the world by one man Adam, the Lord (thankfully!) provided a way of redemption. In fact, if we think about it, the people (in their ignorance) still accomplished all that Thy power and wisdom had already decreed.

Nevertheless, the world is getting darker. We ask Lord that you hear our prayer. Give attention to their threat. Enable your servants to speak your Word with freedom of utterance, with all fearless courage, and to continue preaching your good news salvation message of deliverance! Wherein we who believe in You Lord by faith can be set free from the captivity and bondage of this world.

Moreover, Lord, stretch forth Your hand to heal the sick so that mighty signs and wondrous marvels may be performed by Christ Jesus who indwells You -- the Almighty God. Lord, we wait with expectancy as our enemies -- Your enemies -- are put to flight by the preaching and delivery of Your redeeming Word of Power.

This is why Jesus is referred to in the scriptures as the First and the Last. The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. Indeed, Jesus is the Light brighter than the noon day sun. God has decreed that in all things, Jesus who is God manifest in flesh as a Son, shall have the pre-eminence. All things were made by Him and for Him. He is before all things and without Him, there is nothing made that is made.

"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not." (John 1:10-11)

But men and women, as a result of laying aside the counsel of God and His directive, have as a consequence become enemies of God. Separate from God, we see men and women devising all sorts of hopeless plans. Even those remedial plans that may sound good and are endorsed by eloquent orators become akin to the analogy of more hot air being espoused. Nations that do not serve God do not prosper, just like the cake in the oven that fails when the right ingredients are omitted.

It is no wonder the Lord through Hosea said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)

Still, in spite of man's initial response to God, our God in Jesus the Christ by His wisdom and power devised a plan of salvation whereby men and women could be reinstated into fellowship with the Creator. But we need to recognize, like the cake illustration, that Jesus is the missing ingredient. He is the who that our heart and soul years for.

Therefore, we need to acknowledge the God who was in Christ --- the Christ in God. For God has glorified His Son Jesus. God has declared that Jesus not only was in the Christ, but that He (being Jesus) is also the Lord over all things. This explains why the angels of God worship Him - Jesus. It also offers a rational as to why men and women (and nations) fall when these same folks reject the Lord of hosts. His Name JESUS in this current dispensation of grace. (Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9)

But it does not have to be this way. When we personally make our own individual personal declaration that this man Jesus is the Wisdom and the Glory of the Spirit of God, we are no longer blowing hot air. Just like the scriptures in John 3:16, God is not willing that any should perish. He wants to converse with each and every one of us. He wants us to know that JESUS is both the Resurrection and the Life; both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36-41)

Look to JESUS for He Alone is God! Christ in God will save us from the deceptive promises of unredeemed men. Know too that the Good Shepherd willingly laid down His humanity for you, so that you could have everlasting life in Him. He is our hope and joy and peace. His love for His people -- the greatest love story ever told. Don't delay for time is short.

Stand in the offering plate.
