We Are All Wrapped in Grave Clothes… UNTIL We Accept Christ as Our Personal Savior!


Every person enters this world spiritually dead, bound tightly in the grave clothes of sin, separation from God, and the certain judgment that follows!


Scripture is clear: “You were dead in sins, and your sinful desires were not yet cut away. Then He gave you a share in the very life of Christ, for He forgave all your sins” (Ephesians 2:1, 5, TLB).


The grave clothes of Lazarus in John 11 picture this condition perfectly. He lay dead, wrapped from head to foot, powerless to free himself, until the voice of Jesus called him forth.


So it is with every soul: We are bound by the cords of unbelief, pride, lust, fear, and the guilt that only the blood of Christ can remove.


These grave clothes are not mere symbolism. They represent the real bondage of the old nature—the weight of past failures, the chains of habits we cannot break, and the shroud of spiritual darkness that covers the heart until light comes.


Romans 6:23 (TLB) states the consequence plainly: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”


No amount of religious activity, good deeds, or self-improvement can unwrap these clothes.


Only the resurrection power of the risen Savior can!


The moment a person accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior—believing that He died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day—those grave clothes begin to fall off!


Jesus Himself declared, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, even though he dies, shall live” (John 11:25, TLB).


Faith in Him transfers the believer from death to life. The same voice that shouted “Lazarus, come forth!” now speaks to every trusting heart: “Loose him and let him go!”


The grave clothes of condemnation are replaced by the righteousness of Christ. The fear of death is exchanged for the blessed hope of His return. Old things pass away; behold, all things become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).


This is not a gradual improvement of the old life but a supernatural New Birth!


The Holy Spirit takes up residence; The Word of God becomes living food; and the believer walks in newness of life.


The grave clothes no longer define the one who has been raised with Christ. They are left behind at the mouth of the empty tomb!


Friend, the call remains urgent: Jesus still stands at the tomb of every human heart and speaks life.


Will you remain wrapped in the grave clothes of unbelief, or will you accept Him today as your personal Savior and step into the freedom of resurrection life?


The choice is yours—and eternity hangs on it.


AMEN!

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

2 Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

3 Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

4 Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

5 Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

6 He established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

 

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 26 in Proverbs for today: (OCTOBER 26 (MT) (ESV)

  1. 26 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
        so honor is not fitting for a fool.
    2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
        a curse that is causeless does not alight.
    3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
        and a rod for the back of fools.
    4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,
        lest you be like him yourself.
    5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
        lest he be wise in his own eyes.
    6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool
        cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.
    7 Like a lame man’s legs, which hang useless,
        is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
    8 Like one who binds the stone in the sling
        is one who gives honor to a fool.
    9 Like a thorn that goes up into the hand of a drunkard
        is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
    10 Like an archer who wounds everyone
        is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard.[a]
    11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit
        is a fool who repeats his folly.
    12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
        There is more hope for a fool than for him.
    13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
        There is a lion in the streets!”
    14 As a door turns on its hinges,
        so does a sluggard on his bed.
    15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
        it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
    16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
        than seven men who can answer sensibly.
    17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
        is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
    18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death
    19 is the man who deceives his neighbor
        and says, “I am only joking!”
    20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
        and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
    21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
        so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
    22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
        they go down into the inner parts of the body.
    23 Like the glaze[b] covering an earthen vessel
        are fervent lips with an evil heart.
    24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
        and harbors deceit in his heart;
    25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
        for there are seven abominations in his heart;
    26 though his hatred be covered with deception,
        his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
    27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
        and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.
    28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
        and a flattering mouth works ruin.

CHAPTER 21 ISAIAH for today:

(October 26 (RF) ESV)

   

21 The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea.

As whirlwinds in the Negeb sweep on,
    it comes from the wilderness,
    from a terrible land.
2 A stern vision is told to me;
    the traitor betrays,
    and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, O Elam;
    lay siege, O Media;
all the sighing she has caused
    I bring to an end.
3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
    pangs have seized me,
    like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
    I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
    the twilight I longed for
    has been turned for me into trembling.
5 They prepare the table,
    they spread the rugs,[a]
    they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes;
    oil the shield!
6 For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman;
    let him announce what he sees.
7 When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
    very diligently.”
8 Then he who saw cried out:[b]
“Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord,
    continually by day,
and at my post I am stationed
    whole nights.
9 And behold, here come riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”
And he answered,
    “Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
and all the carved images of her gods
    he has shattered to the ground.”
10 O my threshed and winnowed one,
    what I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
    the God of Israel, I announce to you.

11 The oracle concerning Dumah.

One is calling to me from Seir,
    “Watchman, what time of the night?
    Watchman, what time of the night?”
12 The watchman says:
“Morning comes, and also the night.
    If you will inquire, inquire;
    come back again.”

13 The oracle concerning Arabia.

In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge,
    O caravans of Dedanites.
14 To the thirsty bring water;
    meet the fugitive with bread,
    O inhabitants of the land of Tema.
15 For they have fled from the swords,
    from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
    and from the press of battle.

16 For thus the Lord said to me, “Within a year, according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end. 17 And the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.”

Revelation 13

for today: (OCTOBER  26 (NN) ESV)

1 

13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

10 If anyone is to be taken captive,
    to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
    with the sword must he be slain.

Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

The Second Beast

11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.[f]

The Steps to Salvation:

> Repent: Repentance means that you are turning away from sin to turn to Christ. It does NOT mean that you will be perfect.

> Believe/Receive: Salvation is through Faith in Jesus and by the Grace of God. Believing means putting your Faith in Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sin.

>Walk in the Newness of Life: Jesus died so that we might live. We walk in the Newness of Life being Born Again by His Blood.
