10 Things You Should Know

What I have found to be the "10 Greatest Discoveries in "My Life," are what I consider the ten most vital things that should be known by every individual in all the world today.
 
1.   The tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. 
      (If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you..)

2.   The Ten Commandments are God's guide for living a good life. 
      (Were it not for the Law, we would not have known what sin was.)

3,   Evolution is the biggest scam of them all. 
      (There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world. Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present. And the Book of Genesis gives the world a detailed description of Creation.)

4.   The Bible is its own greatest proof of authenticity.
      (Probably no historical record has been more scoffed at than the Bible. However, the facts show that if it weren't a book of religion and it had only recently discovered by archaeologists, it would be proclaimed the most significant find in all history. For, its details as to family lines, lands of occupation, life spans, and events should provide positive proof to even the most skeptical observers that its accounts are genuine and accurate.)  http://www.2001translation.com/Authenticity.htm

5.   It is "LIFE" at conception. 
      (It is no more difficult to understand then this...   "All seeds produce their own kind and Life begets life.")

6.    The FEAR of the LORD is the beginning of true Wisdom.  
       (Some men's wisdom and ignorance can be measured within the same bowl. Man will travel the world over seeking the proof of the existence of God and not even see one of God's greatest creation as they look in the mirror.)

7.   Love is great and to be loved is grand. 
      (Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.  And I know, Christ died that I might live.  I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth.)

8.   Heaven and Hell are for real. 
 
9.   Jesus is the only way to the Father.  
      (Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.)

And what I believe is by far the greatest of them all is - 
10.  The Gift of Salvation is Free.
        (We need only to repent of our sins, accept Christ Jesus as our LORD and SAVIOR and obey His commands.)
 
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Rom 8:28

SHRINERS AND FREEMASONS

This symbol was found from a Google of "Shriners Symbols"



SHRINERS AND FREEMASONS SERVE SATAN. DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THEIR "GOOD WORKS".

The full name of the Shriners is the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine". Shriners are well known for their "Shriner Circus" where they claim to raise money for their burn hospitals. Shriners are a branch of Freemasonry. In their initiation ritual, the Shriner makes a blood oath of secrecy by appealing to the Pagan god of the feared terrorist Muslim religion! Every Shriner who has confessed an oath to "Allah" which is the great Shahada, or “confession,” which faithful Muslims around the world declare daily, has denied the Lord Jesus Christ by committing idolatry! Please read this study on the idol called Allah.

This Shriner symbol shown below, was borrowed from the "symbol of Islam", the worship of the moon god, (Allah) represented by the crescent moon. In pre-islamic times, Allah was the chief god with lesser goddesses (Al-lat, Al-uzza and Manat) which may be represented by the star. The symbol originates from the Ottoman Empire! The person in the crescent resembles a pharaoh looking character
and you will notice it's the face of the Sphinx, (a lions body with a face of a man) which literally means "the strangler" (Webster's Dictionary). In Greek mythology, the sphinx at Thebes strangles all those who pass by that are unable to guess its riddle. The scimitar or sword used through the centuries to behead the Christians who would not deny Jesus and confess "Allah" as God (and confess Muhammad as God's prophet), hangs over the crescent moon!

Each Temple or Shrine, has a "Potentate" and a "High Priest and Prophet". I must ask, "High priest and prophet of WHICH god"? Each Shrine is named after a Muslim or Egyptian city or place of worship! Is the name of Jesus Christ ever invoked upon in prayer within the Shrine? NO! Yet they invoke the name of "Allah" in their initiation rites! Furthermore, they disobey the scripture that declares that Jesus is the ONLY Potentate as they belittle Christ by replacing him with a Muslim worshiping Shriner who takes this glory upon himself!

1 Tim. 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

If you are in the Shrine and claim to be a Christian, you have unknowingly (or maybe knowingly) forsaken the living God into a confession of serving the idol god of the Muslims, and proudly wear the symbols of the worlds most feared terrorists and most horrible, current day enemies of the Christian faith!

It is interesting to me, how a man feels that he must commit to, and Serve another god, in order to do good works, help children and build burn centers! As Albert Pike wants to promote, and has declared, that Lucifer (the god of Islam, and the god of the Masonic Lodge) is the "God of light and God of Good", and Adonai, the God the Christian faith, is the "God of Darkness, and Evil"!

A little bit about Albert Pike:
Albert Pike (GRAND COMMANDER, SUPREME COUNCIL 33° ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY, SOUTHERN JURISDICTION USA 1859 - 1891), the highest ranking Mason in his day, in "Morals and Dogma”, identifies Lucifer as "the Light-bearer."

Following the conspiracy of over 6 Lodges and 69 Masons, who murdered Captain William Morgan on Sept. 11th 1826 for exposing Masonic secrets, and President John Quincy Adams unsuccessful attempt to bring these men to justice, many men left the Lodge. The short lived anti- Mason political party was started and the Lodge was almost brought to extinction in the U.S. It is known, that Albert Pike, almost single-handedly, re-birthed the Lodge again in the U.S., and is the father of the current day Masonic Lodge! Pike also helped to start the Ku Klux Klan, an anti-negro group. As we all know, negroes cannot join the Masonic Lodge, and therefore started their own Lodge called "Prince Hall" Masonry! Masonry is "racism" in the worst form and continues to be racist today!

Today's Bible Lesson

Here is one good example in today's Bible study how God can even use those from heathen nations to work His divine will.

Bible Pathway Devotionals

Through the Bible in one year in 15 minutes a day, from Bible Pathway Ministries, which also can be found at Christianity.com






Read Ezra 1 – 2

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah (Ezra 1:1-2).

It could be hard for some to believe that this king of a heathen nation would be used to fulfill the will of God. It might be even more difficult to understand because of the magnitude and importance of the mission from God that Cyrus was being directed to make manifest. The reality of the matter was he was used to help launch the rebuilding of the Temple. The prophet Isaiah predicted Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid (Isa. 44:28).

God is fully capable of using whoever He chooses to accomplish His will. Think of the words in this verse. The spirit of King Cyrus was stirred by God. This king surely had many matters of state to attend to, as any in his place would have. However, God turned Cyrus' heart towards God's business and made it a top priority in Cyrus' life. He chose to follow God's will for his life. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13).

The clear message here is one that will always bear repeating again and again. Cyrus heard from God and acted upon the command. He could have turned a deaf ear to God's voice just as many do today. Praise the Lord for those that hear and recognize His voice and commands and respond obediently!

God still speaks to humans today. He draws the lost to come to the cross to find salvation. He seeks out the wandering saint to bring him to a place of dedication to God. God calls those who are consecrated to Him into a life of service. Finally, at the end of the life of each believer, God will give the call to come home to be with Him.

God is still doing His part, the calling. It falls to us to respond as Cyrus did and say "yes, here I am Lord, I'll do Your will." God may have a task for any one of us at any time. The Holy Spirit may be trying to stir you or me even as we speak. Listen for God in your prayer time, study time and anytime. Answer the call.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear (Matt. 13:43).

Thought for Today:

Never forget, we should always pray, as Jesus did, that God's will be done for His glory.
