God’s Promises

On October 7, 2024

(Psa 56:12) Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

Sadly, today’s vows and promises are not taken as seriously as they once were. But the vows of the Bible were permanent ones – not just in marriage but in any contract or promise.

The most popular promise or vow known to believers is God’s promise to Noah that He would never destroy the entire earth by flood again. The Lord sealed that vow with a rainbow and each time we see a rainbow today, we remember that vow. Is God a liar? Has the earth been flooded since Noah’s time? No, God is not a liar and this vow will continue. Psalm 56:12 says that God’s promises (His vows) are upon me! What promises? Well, one of them is (Gal 3:22) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. We are promised eternal life when we repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour!

There are many promises of God in the Bible – many to the nation of Israel which have not been fulfilled yet. But they will be! You can count on it. God is not a man that He should lie (Rom. 3:4). Israel will overcome her enemy. The muslims can do whatever they want but they will not win. God says so in His Word. Christ will come again in Jerusalem and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. (Phi 2:10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; It doesn’t say Allah, it doesn’t say Buddha, it doesn’t say Mary – but the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of God – the Beginning and the End – the Alpha and the Omega – the One and Only Saviour of mankind.

God’s vows are never broken because He is perfect – He is not a sinner. Only man breaks his vows – his promises. Whatever promises are left to be fulfilled in God’s Word, WILL be fulfilled. You can count on it – you can be sure – you can depend on it. It’s comforting to know that our Father in Heaven does not take His vows lightly. Quite the opposite – He takes them very seriously and will not shirk His responsibility. Our eternal security was promised to us – once we’ve accepted His Precious Son and Christ’s work on the cross as the only way to Heaven, He will not break His promise. This is not a mere “blab it and grab it” salvation, but a sincere prayer of the heart followed by repentance. Repentance is key and is a natural byproduct of salvation. If this has not occurred, then your prayer for salvation was not sincere. When sincere, we are sealed – we are secure – never more to question because the Maker of that promise is our God. His rainbow still appears and so shall we see Him face-to-face when we die. Thank You Lord!

God Is Still On His Throne
Kittie Suffield

Have you started for glory and Heaven?
Have you left this old world far behind?
In your heart is the Comforter dwelling?
Can you say, ‘Praise the Lord, He is mine’?
Have the ones that once walked on the highway
Gone back, and you seem all alone?
Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies;
God is still on the throne.

Refrain

God is still on the throne,
And He will remember His own;
Tho’ trials may press us and burdens distress us,
He never will leave us alone;
God is still on the throne,
He never forsaketh His own;
His promise is true, He will not forget you,
God is still on the throne.

Burdened soul, is your heart growing weary
With the toil and the heat of the day?
Does it seem that your path is more thorny
As you journey along on life’s way?
Go away and in secret before Him
Tell your grief to the Savior alone;
He will lighten your care, for He still answers prayer;
God is still on the throne.

Refrain

You may live in a tent or a cottage,
Unnoticed by those who pass by;
But a mansion for you He is building
In that beautiful city on high;
It will outshine the wealth and the splendor
Of the richest on earth we have known;
He’s the Architect true, and He’s building for you;
God is still on the throne.

Rapture and End Time News – Embryos Created in Laboratories

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

This is very disturbing. Only God can create life according to the Bible. But the sin of pride makes people think they are above God and can do whatever they want without repercussions. It comes as no surprise that this rises out of Europe. It is just the beginning, so it seems. Just take a look at this excerpt from a June 14th article:

Scientists have created synthetic human embryos using stem cells, in a groundbreaking advance that sidesteps the need for eggs or sperm.

Scientists say these model embryos, which resemble those in the earliest stages of human development, could provide a crucial window on the impact of genetic disorders and the biological causes of recurrent miscarriage.

However, the work also raises serious ethical and legal issues as the lab-grown entities fall outside current legislation in the UK and most other countries.

The structures do not have a beating heart or the beginnings of a brain, but include cells that would typically go on to form the placenta, yolk sac and the embryo itself.

Pride makes man think he can do anything, even create life itself. But the Bible is the source of all truth (John 17:17) and everything else is a lie. (Romans 3:4)

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Neh 9:6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Joh 1:3-4 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Act 17:24-25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; (25) Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

It is the sin of pride that causes man to think he can do what God can do! Pride was the first sin ever committed and it was committed by the father of lies himself, Lucifer! (John 8:44)

Isa 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (15) Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Today, the sin of pride lurks in men’s hearts. We see the pride flag and the destruction to the moral values of our society. It comes as no surprise that the color blue is omitted from their flag. Blue is one of the colors used in the Temple and priestly garments. Blue (or sapphire) was the color that appeared under God’s feet when Moses and the nobles of Israel saw Him. Blue is part of God’s Throne. (Revelation 21:19) Anything pertaining to holiness is reflected in this color; so it comes as no surprise that it is left out of the LGBTQ+ flag. But one day, every single person, will stand before God and give an account of his/her life here on earth. No one will be exempt. Unless one repents of his sin and is born-again (John 3:3, 3:7), he cannot enter Heaven. It’s as simple as that. Every person who ever lived from the beginning of time will have to take a knee in front of the King of kings, Jesus Christ!

Rom 14:11-12 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (12) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Jesus Christ loves every member of the LGBTQ+ community – He died for all sins and desires fellowship with anyone who will accept Him as Saviour. However, to say that we have no sin, IS the sin of pride. We all sin (Romans 3:23) and are in need of a Saviour. That is why Jesus said we must be born-again (John 3:3, 3:7). Once we acknowledge that we cannot get to Heaven without accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour, His death on the cross, His shed blood to forgive us our sins, then our attitude toward that sin changes. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We are now a new creation, thus the meaning of being born-again.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.
