Want to be more powerful than the Angels in Heaven? Jesus #5,375

Want to be more powerful than the Angels in Heaven?


Scripture says the redeemed already stand on higher ground than the Angels, and the world to come will make that plain!


Angels are mighty. They are “ministering spirits sent out to help those who are to receive salvation” (Hebrews 1:14, TLB).


They stand in the presence of God, carry His messages, and execute His judgments.


Michael and Gabriel are not weak! Yet the Living Bible is clear that the age to come is not given to them. “And the future world we are talking about will not be controlled by Angels” (Hebrews 2:5, TLB). God put that coming world under the feet of man, and He did it through the Man: Christ Jesus, Who for a little while was made lower than the Angels, then crowned with glory and honor (Hebrews 2:7–9, TLB).


The church is joined to that Man. Paul writes, “Don’t you know that we Christians will judge and reward the very Angels in heaven?” (1 Corinthians 6:3, TLB).


Judgment is authority. The saints will not merely admire the Angels; they will assess them. That is not pride. It is position. We are “heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17).


God has already “lifted us up from the grave into glory along with Christ, where we sit with Him in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 2:6, TLB).


Angels serve. Sons reign with the Son!


How can dust be higher than the flame? Because power in Heaven is not measured by brightness or speed. It is measured by union with Christ!


An Angel was never bought with blood. An Angel was never raised and seated in the Beloved. “We can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when He comes we will be like Him” (1 John 3:2, TLB).


Likeness to the King outranks the King’s servants.

This is not a license to swagger. Angels who forgot their place fell. The way up is still the way down: Repentance, Faith in the cross, and a life hidden with Christ.


The same gospel that saves a sinner also seats him above every created power.


If you belong to Jesus, you are not waiting to become slightly better than you are. You are waiting to be revealed as what the blood has already made you: A co-heir who will one day judge Angels, and who even now is kept by a power greater than theirs.


AMEN!

CONTINUE:

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!

If you don’t want to get your Bible, Here they all are, just click on each Chapter and I will read them to you:

JESUS IS:

THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH,

THE LEADER,

THE ORIGINATOR,

THE LORD & MASTER,

THE SUPREME LEADER,

OUR HOPE,

1ST BORN FROM THE DEAD WITH AN IMMORTAL BODY TO NEVER DIE AGAIN,

THE 1ST FRUITS OF THE RESURRECTION,

HE IS OUR FESTIVAL OF HOPE,

OUR PARDON,

GIVEN 1ST PLACE IN EVERYTHING,

HAS BEEN EXALTED AS SUPREME OVER EVERYTHING,

IS ENOUGH,

THE FULLNESS OF GOD DWELLS IN US THROUGH JESUS,

JESUS HAS BROUGHT US INTO HARMONY WITH GOD,

HE HAS BROKERED A PEACE TREATY BETWEEN GOD & MAN,

YOU WERE BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE, BUT BY ACCEPTING JESUS

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE NOW,

YOU ARE BEYOND REPROACH,

JESUS WAS THE SOLUTION BEFORE YOU HAD A SIN PROBLEM,

NEVER GET OVER WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR YOU!

NOW:

THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH:

TO TEACH US TO LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST!

AMEN!

Chapter 08 in Proverbs for today: (OCTOBER 8 (MT) (ESV)

  1. 8 Does not wisdom call?
        Does not understanding raise her voice?
    2 On the heights beside the way,
        at the crossroads she takes her stand;
    3 beside the gates in front of the town,
        at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
    4 “To you, O men, I call,
        and my cry is to the children of man.
    5 O simple ones, learn prudence;
        O fools, learn sense.
    6 Hear, for I will speak noble things,
        and from my lips will come what is right,
    7 for my mouth will utter truth;
        wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
    8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
        there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.
    9 They are all straight to him who understands,
        and right to those who find knowledge.
    10 Take my instruction instead of silver,
        and knowledge rather than choice gold,
    11 for wisdom is better than jewels,
        and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

    12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
        and I find knowledge and discretion.
    13 The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
    Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
        and perverted speech I hate.
    14 I have counsel and sound wisdom;
        I have insight; I have strength.
    15 By me kings reign,
        and rulers decree what is just;
    16 by me princes rule,
        and nobles, all who govern justly.[a]
    17 I love those who love me,
        and those who seek me diligently find me.
    18 Riches and honor are with me,
        enduring wealth and righteousness.
    19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold,
        and my yield than choice silver.
    20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
        in the paths of justice,
    21 granting an inheritance to those who love me,
        and filling their treasuries.

    22 “The Lord possessed[b] me at the beginning of his work,[c]
        the first of his acts of old.
    23 Ages ago I was set up,
        at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
    24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
        when there were no springs abounding with water.
    25 Before the mountains had been shaped,
        before the hills, I was brought forth,
    26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
        or the first of the dust of the world.
    27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
        when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
    28 when he made firm the skies above,
        when he established[d] the fountains of the deep,
    29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
        so that the waters might not transgress his command,
    when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
    30     then I was beside him, like a master workman,
    and I was daily his[e] delight,
        rejoicing before him always,
    31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
        and delighting in the children of man.

    32 “And now, O sons, listen to me:
        blessed are those who keep my ways.
    33 Hear instruction and be wise,
        and do not neglect it.
    34 Blessed is the one who listens to me,
        watching daily at my gates,
        waiting beside my doors.
    35 For whoever finds me finds life
        and obtains favor from the Lord,
    36 but he who fails to find me injures himself;
        all who hate me love death.”

CHAPTER 3 ISAIAH for today:

(October 8 (RF) ESV)

   

3 For behold, the Lord God of hosts
    is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah
support and supply,[a]
    all support of bread,
    and all support of water;
2 the mighty man and the soldier,
    the judge and the prophet,
    the diviner and the elder,
3 the captain of fifty
    and the man of rank,
the counselor and the skillful magician
    and the expert in charms.
4 And I will make boys their princes,
    and infants[b] shall rule over them.
5 And the people will oppress one another,
    every one his fellow
    and every one his neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
    and the despised to the honorable.

6 For a man will take hold of his brother
    in the house of his father, saying:
“You have a cloak;
    you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
    shall be under your rule”;
7 in that day he will speak out, saying:
“I will not be a healer;[c]
    in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
    leader of the people.”
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled,
    and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
    defying his glorious presence.[d]

9 For the look on their faces bears witness against them;
    they proclaim their sin like Sodom;
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    For they have brought evil on themselves.
10 Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,
    for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
    for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
12 My people—infants are their oppressors,
    and women rule over them.
O my people, your guides mislead you
    and they have swallowed up[e] the course of your paths.

13 The Lord has taken his place to contend;
    he stands to judge peoples.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
    with the elders and princes of his people:
“It is you who have devoured[f] the vineyard,
    the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people,
    by grinding the face of the poor?”
declares the Lord God of hosts.

16 The Lord said:
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty
    and walk with outstretched necks,
    glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
    tinkling with their feet,
17 therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
    the heads of the daughters of Zion,
    and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and nose rings; 22 the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.

24 Instead of perfume there will be rottenness;
    and instead of a belt, a rope;
and instead of well-set hair, baldness;
    and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth;
    and branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword
    and your mighty men in battle.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn;
    empty, she shall sit on the ground.

Revelation 16

for today: (OCTOBER  8 (NN) ESV)

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,

“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
    and you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”

7 And I heard the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    true and just are your judgments!”

8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

Please Remember:

“CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS

AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD!”

 

 

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.
