Eyes on the Prize

Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Isn’t it interesting how we want to claim Christ as our savior, but don’t want to know what He says? If we were to sit down with our Bible and just read His words, and weigh His deeds, I believe that most of us would come away with a completely different understanding of who Christ actually is, rather than what we have been taught.

He warns, “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.” (Vs 9)

So we know what is coming, and can actually see it developing at this time. And what is taking place in Israel is part of it. And when war comes it will be between those who claim to be of Christ, the Messiah of Israel, and those who have some other ideology, even godlessness.

“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.” (Vs 10)

When one religion comes against another, to kill, maim, burn homes, and places of worship, just because of a profession of belief in Christ, we will begin to see the truth in this prophesy.

“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Vs 11, 12)

False prophets abound, everyone who stands in a pulpit and preaches things that are not of God, is exactly that, a false prophet.
So Christmas, Easter, Lent, and Sunday Sabbath all being false ought to be our tell-tale sign of lawlessness.
Following these people will get you killed and then destroyed at the time of Judgment. But still under attack, and assailed by the enemies of Yeshua, because we call Him Lord, Lord.
And those who claim Christ, will deny Him, and even join the attack on Christians and Jews. The Love of many will grow cold indeed, and self-preservation will rule.
But first will be the war, and then these things will come upon us.

“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Vs 13)

If we manage to finish our lives by walking according to the way, the truth, and the life, we will overcome.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
5Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua / Jesus is the Son of God? (1st John 5:3-5)

We must keep our eyes on the prize, Eternal life! And we must live in a way that is going to secure our place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Even loving our enemies as they persecute us.
I know this is hard to do, even as I write these things, I am wrestling with my own sense of self-preservation. But I know that Christ is Spirit and must prevail in me. Do not allow these enemies of God to steal our peace, or destroy our faith!

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Vs 14)

We must turn from false teaching, seek after the truth, walk out your salvation, so that our very lives become a testimony to Christ. And understand that a phoney Christian is not going to be acceptable to Christ, we’re not going to be able to fool our God who knows our very thoughts.

John 14:23 “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
24He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.”

Now is the time to get serious about our relationship with Yeshua, He is coming!

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)

And when He is here, the first order of things is the judgment, and He will Judge according to the Ten Commandments that reflect the will of the Father.

(Suggested reading Exodus 20:1-17)

Sunday Sabbath, Christmas, and Easter, are not ordained of God. Therefore, they are traditions of men, and false teachings!

This is why Christ said, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
7 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

Return to Christ Today!

How do we properly thank Yeshua?

Acts 3:19-21 Repent, therefore, and am converted to you, so that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that he may send Jesus Christ, who has already been preached to you, 21 to whom heaven should receive until the times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since then
The world has begun.

AI says: In the Bible, repentance is a fundamental transformation of the heart and mind, involving turning away from sin and a return to God. It is a change in mind and attitude that leads to action, a sincere desire to change behavior, and a commitment to living a life that pleases God.

When someone like me sins, there must be confession and brokenness before the Messiah Yeshua, followed by a sincere desire to change. This change for me was to give my life completely to Christ so that nothing would stand between me and my King.
Now I am completely at your service, I have never experienced such grace in my life. Never been more thankful for anything in my life!

As much as I wanted to, I can never go back to my old life,it took me a while to understand that but now I’m fully resting on the rock of my salvation and I can never turn back to my sins.
The old rebel is gone. The new one has arrived!
I’ve come to a place in my life where I had a choice to make, I have chosen to walk according to the Way the truth and life of Yeshua HaMashiach. I will never turn back, but I will cut ties that interfere with my ministry, or anything else worldly that is a hindrance in some way.

May Yeshua use me how He wants, I am willing to take up my cross and follow without reservation.

23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me.” 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it: but whoever loses their life for my sake will save it. 25 For what profits a man to gain the whole world, yet he himself be destroyed or lost? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he cometh in his own glory, and of his Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 But truly I say to you, some who are here will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:23-27)

I have made my choice; I pray that this small personal testimony causes others to examine themselves!
Take a look at what is preventing us from a full relationship with the One we proclaim as Savior.
Don’t give him a reason to say, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice iniquity! ‘ (Matthew 7:23)

But instead we respond to His invitation: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you relief.” 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28,29)

I pray you understand my need to be close to my savior and consider what many men are withholding from Him.
