Whether the approval, applause, or adoration of a sin-stained world surrounds us, it matters little— for we bask in the celebratory delight of our Triune God, the resounding cheers of Heaven, and the shield of angelic armies wielding the armory of eternity!
Rejoice! The battle is not ours to bear— it belongs to our mighty, untiring, majestic Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who reigns ceaselessly over Heaven and Earth, the soon-coming King enthroned forever! Yes, we know—with unshakable certainty— that our King of Kings and Lord of Lords holds sovereign sway, unchanging, eternal.
Oh, let us always rejoice! For the royal hope within us is Emmanuel—God with us— Jesus Christ, dwelling in our hearts, the gift beyond all gifts. Be jubilant, find your all in all in our Lord and Savior: Creator of worlds, Prophet of truth, Priest of grace, gentle Shepherd, Redeemer of souls, Author of salvation, fierce and just Holy Warrior, and truest Friend everlasting!
May the treasure that stirs our soul’s delight, Be the wealth we lavish in the skies, A gleaming hoard beyond all earthly sight, Stored rich in Heaven where true bounty lies. Let this alone—our eternal gain— Mark the measure of our fleeting days, Our hearts aligned to Christ’s unending reign, The only prize worth all our earthly praise.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.
Psalm 2:4-6
There is a blasphemous, satanic, demonic,
evil running rampant in the nations. There
is traitorous and blasphemous corruption currently
tragically, prophetically, and demonically occurring at
every level of society. There are signs of the end times
everywhere. The earth is groaning. True royals
of the eternal kingdom are hoping. And the truly
redeemed our anticipating the glorious rapture of the
church. For this is our hope of all hopes, our blessed hope!
And yet amidst all the wickedness, darkness, and deceit,
there is a living, Holy, Light-filled, risen, King of Kings and
Lord of Lords, our fierce and mighty warrior who laughs
at the pitiful, weak schemes of the wicked every day.
For Jesus Christ alone holds in derision all those who mock
His Holy Ways! Our blessed, precious Savior will not be mocked!
Stand in awe, for our Savior is the only Ruler and King of all the earth.
If you don’t know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, repent for our King
of Kings and Lord of Lords, Yahweh, Jehovah, El Shaddai, Yahweh-Sabaoth
is coming soon! Jesus Christ alone is our blessed hope! Repent for judgment
is coming to every profane, blasphemous mocker of our Triune God! For
the Lord is a warrior; The LORD is His name! Nations tremble, for the Lord
is a warrior; The LORD is His name! Judgment is coming. Repent, for our
blessed, Holy, righteous, just, merciful, loving, Triune God will not be mocked!
Honor, adoration, glory, and praise to You alone, Jesus, for you have defeated
the powers of sin and darkness forever! Honor, adoration, glory, and praise to our
resurrected Holy warrior King of Kings! Honor, adoration, glory, and praise to
our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone! May our lives proclaim His praise!
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
2 Timothy 2:1-2 (KJV)
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2: 20 (KJV)
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall be joyful in my God. For He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Isaiah 61: 10-11 (KJV)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
Ephesians 6: 10-18 (NIV)
Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?
Romans 2:4 (KJV)
May our goal, our purpose, our moment-by-moment
decisions be based on this sobering, challenging,
yet beloved and precious Biblical truth. “But in a great
house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver,
but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some
to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the
master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” The fact
that at any moment any of us can either choose to be a vessel
of gold, silver, wood, or earth is a sobering and heart-breaking
thought indeed. And yet many, if not all, have experienced and
been guilty of practicing those very earthly sin-filled, Holy Spirit
grieving moments as Christians. This is why the grace, mercy,
and compassion of Jesus Christ, our Lord towards His flock is
so precious indeed. However, the many mishaps, mistakes, failures,
sins we have chosen to make, this is when we must hold on to our
Savior’s golden glorious truth, His grace, mercy, and love is greater!
May we strive and determine in our hearts souls, and minds to choose
to be honorable Christ-centered, Christ-glorifying vessels of gold
fit for our Master’s use! May every word, every thought, every single
action, every work glorify and Honor Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
And when we, as sinners saved by grace through faith, who still sin
and grieve our Savior who knew no sin, may we repent, confess, make
our transgression right and realize where sin abounds grace does much
more abound and abound! For our Savior realizes that we are dust and
assures us that His Mercy is new every morning. For indeed we must
remember this glorious Biblical truth as we walk the narrow way or we
would be overcome with sorrow, grief, and despair. We must rehearse the
treasures found in so many Christ-given Biblical truths. Here is but one
Biblical jewel.”For greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world.”
We must carry, reflect, memorize scripture on and in our hearts, souls, and
minds, if we are to survive this sin-filled ever darkening world. We indeed
must remind ourselves of our daily crucifixion and that we must die daily.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth
in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. And though we are
indeed all imperfect until Jesus comes or takes us home, God sees us
as He sees His Son, loved, forgiven, and royally and exquisitely clothed
with the glorious bejeweled garments of our Savior’s Salvation. Therefore
there is no condemnation to those who believe who walk not after the flesh
but in the Spirit. So now, may we go forth and be joyfully golden for our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ knowing that every sin past, present, and future is
gloriously, victoriously, eternally forgiven and forgotten, cast in the bottom
of the sea, and our sins each and every one is flung as far as the East is
from the West! Oh, what a joyful, Holy, victorious Holy, and divine gift is this!
For the victory is ours. It has already been won through the precious blood
of God’s only, beloved, precious Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. For He came to
save His people from their sins. Now may we go forth and be joyfully and
victoriously golden and boldly spread the glorious gospel’s good news knowing
that the royally redeemed are always dressed in the splendid garments of
Salvation, and clad with the glittering, light-filled, diamond, ruby, emerald pearl,
topaz encrusted Holy impenetrable Armor of our incomparable Triune God!
So royally, beloved, forgiven, Holy privileged filled Saints, Soldiers, Joint-Heirs,
future Kings, Queens, and Priests of the New Heaven and New Earth go forth
full of joy-filled victory and be gold fit for our Master’s use. Amen and Amen!
