Death Never Made for Human

Dear brothers and sisters, beloved of Jesus Christ, Lord God has revealed in His Holy Word, that He never created death for men. One may say, “What is this non-sense? Death is very sure. What never made”? Yes, precious brothers & sisters in Christ, death is assured, it is true. Everybody want to run from death, but can’t. At any time, at any moment, at any place, death can take the life of any one. Nobody knows it’s time or place or way. One can ask, “Mister, we see & face death every moment some-where or other place; you are saying that God never made it for human, then what is death? From where it came? Why it came”?
In Holy bible explain that when formed man from dust of ground and breathed  into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7). And Lord God blessed him to prosper and to be fruitful, and multiply, increase in number and to fill the earth and subdue it. No death was told to man. But he was warned about death. He was just warned to beware of death. He was told to eat any fruit of the garden (Genesis 2:16).
But he was told that there was something harmful, and he was warned not to play with this. He was told that not to eat, even not to touch the fruit of the tree in middle of the garden. If you eat it, or even you touch it, death will take you in it’s binds.
Very clearly it is written in Genesis 2:17 and 3:2-3, woman (Eve) said to serpent,      that we can eat fruit from any tree, but God has strictly forbid us to eat the fruits of one tree that is in the middle of the garden. God has said, “you must not eat the fruits  from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it. Because if you eat it or touch it, you will die”. It proves it that death was not made for human. Of course death was there, but not for men (Adam & Eve). Yes, it was for someone else. Definitely question arises, then for whom death was created? To find the answer, we have to look into Matthew 25:41 that declares that death was created for devil and his angels.
To know details about it we have to look into ancient ages before the man of this era was created. Let we go to Ezekiel 28:11-17. We read 1n verse 13 & 14 about a cherub (angel) loved so much by Lord God, anointed as a guardian cherub, in charge of all the treasures of God, all the army of Lord God, lived in Eden garden of God, established by God that covers on the holy mountain of God. Verse 18 tells because all of this glory & splendor he got filled with pride and violence and he sinned! He was expelled from the mountain, the presence of Lord.
Isaiah 14:12-15 tells that his name was Lucifer. Because being in charge of all the work of Lord God a dirty thought came to his mind. He thought that all the army and grander & treasures are under my order. “Then why should not I be God? Why should not I make my throne above the stars of god”? Verse 13 & 14 tells that he thought in his heart that he will be like Most High, Lord the God. He thought to  make his throne above the throne of God. But Lord God knew his thought and cut him down to earth from His presence, His heaven.
It is narrates it Revelation 12:7-9 also, “And war broken out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon & his angels fought, but they did not prevail nor was a place was found for them in heaven any longer.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called devil and satan, who deceives the whole w orld, he along with his angels, was cast out to the earth.
Now when Lord God ornamented earth afresh and created Adam & Eve,
said serpent (Lucifer/Satan) was wandering along with his angels on earth. He saw afresh garnished earth. He saw Adam & Eve, new creation of God. Astonished to see, God created them on His own image?  He saw the blessing of Lord for them. (Genesis 1:28). He saw Lord God asked them to have dominion on the whole earth? He saw God come daily to meet them. He saw God walking & talking with them. Such a great love for Adam & Eve! He was filled with jealousy.
“This love of God was for me, it was my right at sometime. Oh, I will not let them be at this place in the heart of God! If I could not remain at this place in the heart of God, I will not let them. I will manage someway or the other to throw them down in the sight of Lord God”. He started searching the way to do it all. He new one thing that Lord God hate disobeying, and disobeying is a sin before God. So he went in search of the reason for disobeying. At last he found it.
(Genesis 3:1-8)…The serpent was more crafty, more cunning than any other animals God created. He very cunningly asked Eve, “Has God forbidden you from eating any fruit”? “We can eat any fruit from tree, but Lord God has forbidden from only one tree that is in the middle of the garden. God said that you must not eat nor touch the fruit of that tree. If you eat or even touch it you may die,” replied Eve.
Serpent provoked her, “Never, you will not die, God know you will not die but your eyes will open and you will be like God”.
(Please mind the next words) Now when Eve saw the fruit of that tree, she found it good for food and pleasing to eyes and also desirable. She was always seeing this while walking in the garden. But before this time this was never pleasing to eyes, never looked good to eat but now it gave a new look. Because serpent, satan was showing it. To-day in life, in world it is happening every day. You forbid your children from doing many things because you know (not children) that those things, those works are harmful for life of children. You teach them for many years, and they obey you. But one day you come to know that your efforts have gone in vain. Because through the company of your children, same serpent (who provoked Eve) provoke in the same way. He says to children, “Your parents are not doing justice toward you. Once you do it (forbidden thing) and see what happens! You will enjoy a lot, much more than anyone’s thinking”! Your children obey him and are away from you.
Same happened with Eve. She believed Satan and obeyed & ate the forbidden fruit and gave to Adam also. What happened? Both hid themselves from God when Lord God came. Sin separates us from God our Lord (Isaiah 59:2) and the result?
God banished them from the Garden of Eden & death gripped man in it’s claw. And when Adam& Eve came out of garden Eden, days of trouble started. In the Garden of Eden they were in the presence of God, covered with the glory of God. As soon as the sin of disobeying entered in them, the glory of Lord God left them, and they got uncovered and then they found themselves naked. Now they had to worry & work & search for food and something to cover their body.
But dear ones of Jesus, God loved the human so much. God considered men His children (Deuteronomy14:1, John 1:12). He showed His love in Isaiah 49:16, as says, “I have engraved your picture on the palms of my hands. He could not leave him, could not endure this separation. And God managed to redeem man from grip of death . For this purpose Lord God Jehovah sacrificed His only begotten son as in John 3:16. “And when the fullness of the time had come, God sent His son, born of a woman, born under law” Galatians 4:4. And messengers (angels) were sent into the world to give the massage of coming of the son of God (Isaiah 7:14. Matt.1:21, & 2:1-2. Luke 1:26-30, & 2:8-14).
For salvation, for forgiveness, for redemption from sins, shedding of blood is necessary (Hebrew 9:22). And about this sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins Isaiah saw vision of this programme of God and detailed in his book chapter 53 that how God lays the sins & iniquities of whole world on His son and son (Jesus) happily endure the punishment of all. Jesus told about it in Matt. 26:28, “For this is my blood of new covenant, which is shed for many for forgiveness of sins”. And at the moment when the punishment of sins, that is death (Romans 6:23) touched Jesus, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, the wall of separation from God was broken. And again the everlasting life got managed for human (Colossians 1:20)
A new life, in which there is no death, no tears, no weeping, no worry, no pain, is now waiting for us (Revelation 21:1-5) Lucifer the serpent and death cannot enter in this new earth, new heaven. We have to take this everlasting life.

Amen.

Intoxications vs Holy Gospel

It is written that you know gospel. If you know these things, blessed & happy & to be envied are you, if you practice them, act accordingly & really to them. (John 13:17)

In the beginning years of my life, I started using intoxications, wine & whisky & smoking. All this keeps with me for many years. Once it happened, some super natural power questioned me, “Why do you drink wine & other intoxications?” Simply my answer was, “John 2:1-9 & 1Timothy 5:23 indicates, one can drink”.

“You are concerned with words. The word sin has been used many many time in Holy Scripture, is that means you can do sin?” questioned again. Days gone, I forget

all about it.

One day I was reading the gospel of Saint Luke, when I read verse 26th of chapter 10, I could not go forward from this verse. Again & again I read it. What is written & how do you read it! And in the due course, Holy Bible was opened at chapter 35 of book of Jeremiah. Now I felt Holy Spirit was leading me. I found Holy Spirit was saying to me, “Read it, read it, read it. I read it & found Holy Spirit was saying, see how Jonadab son of Rechab read it? He strictly forbids his family, not to drink & use any of intoxications: How he learned about it? Because he did not read Bible as you read, according to your convenience, according to your mind, according to your thinking. But he read it as it is written.

Yes he read that you never read. He read, Number 6:1-3 where very clearly written, `Moses, tell people that they shall drink no vinegar of wine, neither drink any liquor.

Again to Aaron, none never come to me in any intoxications, lest he die”.  The LORD GOD who says that if you come to me in intoxicated condition, you may die; in other words he says, I may not kill you if I see you in intoxications, how can such GOD allow intoxications?

Holy Spirit explained me, how GOD sent HIS angel on earth to give HIS message to wife of Manoah & Manoah’s wife that God is blessing them with a son ( they had no child) but they must not use any intoxication at any cost. (Judges 13:1- 14).

Holy Spirit explained me, how GOD sent HIS angel on earth to give HIS message to Zacharias that God is blessing them with a son (Zacharias & Elisabeth had no child) & because he will be special for God & will not use any intoxication (Luke 1:5-15).

Each one of us is special for God, because Holy Bible tells in Deu. 7:6 for you are holy people unto Lord your God. He has chosen you to be a special people unto Himself above all people that are on earth.

In Deut. 14:1 it is claimed,” You are the children of the Lord your God”. And again in the gospel of John in chapter 1 verse 12, it is told that He has asked you to be His children, His sons & daughters. His sons & daughters should be of what type? What He wants His sons & daughters to be? Leviticus’ 11:44 &19:2 & 20:7, Matthew 5:48, 1Peter 1:16 tells Lord says, “For I am the Lord your God, so you Shall therefore sanctify yourselves and be holy for I am holy, neither you shall defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on earth.

More He says in 1 Corinthians 3:16& 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16, “you are my temple.” He makes you His temple. He says,” I live in you.

People make temples and worship there gods in temples. Mostly people don’t like the business of intoxications near their worship places. If someone want to open a shop of intoxication, people oppose it and never allow it, because they feel that this will defile surroundings, atmosphere near their holy place. Their temple, their place of worship is holy. They don’t endure any defiling thing or business near their holy place. Lord your God keep you His temple. You never allow any defiling thing even near to temple, holy place settled for worship, made by men.

Then you take decision and tell, is it right, is it justice to put intoxications in your body, to fill your body with intoxications, which is the temple of Lord your God? When you can’t bear the nearness of intoxications to your own made holy places, temples, how much more one should be cautious for one’s body, one’s life, which has been settled residence of Holy Spirit, God your Lord? Think, think with cool heart. Think about your relationship with your God, your creator.

People know about holiness. Many want to keep themselves holy. In the book of Daniel, in 1st. chapter verses 3-16, it is explained that Daniel and his friends new the importance of holiness. When the king selected them & settled their food, they could not allow themselves to take it, because they found that this food will not let them holy. This will spoil there holiness. So they went & requested chief of kitchen officials to give them simple food in spite of kings assigned.

Daniel 1:5-And the king appointed for them daily provision of the king’s           delicacies   and of the wine which he used to drink.

(Daniel 1:8)-But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of king’s delicacies food, nor with the wine king drank. Therefore he requested the chief of kitchen officials that he might not defile himself.

(Daniel 1:10)-And the chief of kitchen officials said to Daniel,” I fear milord the king who has appointed your food & drink, for why should he see your faces looking   worse then the young men of your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.

(Daniel 1:12-15)- Daniel requested him to test them for ten days. Officer agreed. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better & fatter in flesh then all the young men who ate the portion of king’s delicacies.

(Daniel 1:19)-Then king interviewed them and he found none equal to Daniel,

Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah.

(Daniel 1:20)-And king found them ten time better in wisdom & understanding than  all other people in king`s presence.

Next thing that there is a life after end of this life. Jesus told about it in John 14:2-3 and Luke 12:32. Matthew 19:16, Mark 10:17 & Luke 18:18 tell that people had been in search of this life from the ancient ages. Luke 23:41-43 confirm about this. Type of this life is detailed in Revelation 21:1-5. No tears, no weeping, no fear of death, no crying, no worry, no pain, no sorrow at all there in that life. There is everything new for you.

But 1st. Corn. 6:10 & Gal.5:21 warns that ……drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God, but will face eternal death (Matthew 25:41)

Dear one’s in & of Jesus, Lord God says in Ezekiel 33:11,”I don’t want anyone to die, but every one to have life & live. To ensure this everlasting life for me & you He send His only begotten son, who came in the shape of men and shed His precious blood on cross that we may have eternal life.

In psalm 75:8 Asaph writes that intoxications are for wicked.

And in Romans 12:2 it is said that do not be like people of this world because you are children of the almighty God. But be Holy & pure.

There is description in Jeremiah 35:1-8, 16-19. Notice it & think what is written &how do you read it? (Luke 10:26). And notice how this family read Holy Scripture & from where these people learned about intoxications?

(Jeremiah 35:1,5)- Jeremiah offered them wine.

(Jeremiah 35:6)- they refused strictly and said that our ancestors taught us never to use any kind of intoxications and we neither have used any kind of intoxication nor we will use any kind of intoxications at any cost. And in result of this, Lord God of Israel says, “A man from family of  Jonadab the son of Rechab shall stand before me for ever & ever in my presence.

“Do not look upon the wine when it is red, & when it looks charming in cup, because at last it bite like a serpent and sting like an viper”. (Proverbs 23:31-32)-



A Prayer:- Almighty Jesus have mercy on me. Destroy the works of devil against me. Destroy the works of devil in me. Rebuke satanic evil spirits of intoxications & send them away from me forever. Sanctify me through your Holy Blood flowing for me even today. Kind Jesus save me to everlasting life through your Holy Precious Blood I pray. Amen.

May Jesus take you away from every kind of intoxications & keep you safe under His mighty hands.



Amen.

After…What?

Luke 12:32, that says, “do not fear little flock for this is your father’s good pleasure to give you a kingdom”.

In Matthew 4:17 Jesus tell the way to enter into this kingdom,” Repent, (because something is there for you, a kingdom, a kingdom of heaven).

Nicodemus wanted to learn about kingdom of heaven. For this he came to Jesus. Jesus said to him unless one is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. How? Nicodemus asked. Nicodemus was a Pharisee, he was a person to preach & teach people holy scripture. But even he did not know about this.

About it, it is written very clearly, but every one need to search it and understand it. To understand it let us go to Proverb 28:13, which guide us & show us

right-path. He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses & forsake, then he will have mercy. So when we come near to God, we have to forsake, to leave to give up all what has kept us away from God, all evil habits & every evil.

But mostly it is seen in most of people that people come to God our Lord, repent, and Lord God bless them with His blessings. It goes on for sometime, but after sometime, old life starts again. People say we go to church; we give offering, but no blessing. And many time people are found backslide. Why? Why this happens?

Let us read Matthew 12:43-45, “When an unclean, an evil spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, but do not find. Then he says, “I will return to my house from which I came”. And when he comes he find it empty, swept & clean. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits, more wicked than him. And they enter and dwell there and condition of that person becomes worse than the first. Why it comes back? Let us discuss all about it.

I try to tell you how it happens. A man comes to Jesus. He repents over his past life & accepts Jesus as his master. Then Jesus come to him & blesses him & heals him & give fulfils his necessity and he is happy. He worship Jesus and sing & praise Jesus.  Jesus comes to live in his heart as His promise in Revelation 3:20. Jesus come and found the door of heart opened.  Jesus step His 1st step in the door to enter and see in the heart, but found no room, no empty place there at all. Heart is full of previous desires of lust, desires of flesh, all the previous habits, all the evil thoughts, evil thinking; No empty place is there. Again tears come in His eyes. However He wait, perhaps this person may change his life, may leave his previous evil life previous habits, previous evil thinking, previous ways of his life. He waits and waits, but disappointed. At last He goes from that place.

When the evil spirit find rest nowhere, then comes to see either there may be chance to live in his previous house and find that nobody is there. And he is back and the condition of that person reaches in previous stage.

So until one do not leave his previous life, previous habits, previous lust, and previous thoughts & thinking, evil doing, evil thinking, enmity, evil, cursing others  that keep him away from the right & righteous ways of Lord his God, one cannot become a person of new life, born-again. Jesus says in John 13:17, “You know these things, but it becomes blessing for you if you do them practically. Undoubtedly people know such things because they read these things, they listen to these things, but they do not care for; they do not bother about these to do according to them. But when you come to Jesus, you have to obey the said things. One has to leave few things, because they are hindrances in one’s right way, because these are houses of evil spirits. People keep them with themselves in ignorance. But for a spiritual & physically blessed and happy life we have to leave many things as described in Holy Bible.

When you come to Jesus, you become a separated person and 1st Samuel 10:6 says, then Holy Ghost shall come upon you and you will be a changed personality. And 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 & Galatians 5: 18-21 teaches that if you are led by spirit, you have to leave the works of flesh, because works of flesh are obstacles in the way to kingdom of life. Adulterers, male-prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy, slanderers, swindlers, Idolaters, hatred, jealousy, outburst of wrath, un-cleanliness, selfish ambitions, fornication, sexual immoral, impurity, debauchery, witchcraft, discord, dissension, envy, drunkenness, orgies, shall not inherit the kingdom of everlasting life, kingdom of God. So when you come you come to Jesus, you have to leave all said works & other alike works and things, otherwise evil will not leave you at any cost. Luke 19:1-9 Zacchaeus a tax collector wanted to see Jesus. When he met Jesus, listened Jesus, learnt about new life, everlasting life, at once he left his old life which he was living. He repented & declared at moment, I leave all my un-cleanliness and I return fourfold if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation. And what Jesus said? “Today salvation has come to this house (because he repents over all his previous deeds & declared to leave all wrong-doing)

Holy Scripture says in Matthew 5:16 “let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works & glorify your Father which is in heaven (good works by you, but glory to, your God). Lord God Jehovah in Leviticus 11:44, 19:2, 20:7, say, “for I the Lord your God, so you sanctify yourself and be holy, for I am holy; so you shall not defile yourself with any manner. And Simon Peter teaches people in 1st Peter 1:16 to be & keep oneself holy because Lord your God is holy.

Ephesians 2: , 14 &16-17&1913- “But now in Christ Jesus you, who once were far off, have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation. And that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, there by putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off & to those who were near. Now therefore, you are no longer stranger and foreigner but fellow-citizens with the saints and members of the householder of God”. Every family has it’s own customs in family. Every member of family knowingly or un-knowingly obeys and follows family’s traditions. But when one go to another country or other society, he finds there some different customs. He needs to follow such customs; otherwise he may have to face some trouble. Same is here with a life with Lord God’s family. When you have come to Jesus the Lord almighty, you have to learn customs of His family to live in His house. Scripture says in 1st Peter 1:16 “Be holy for I am holy”. In Leviticus 20:26 Lord God says, “And you should be holy to me for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine”. And in Romans 12:2 it is again said, “Do not be confirmed to this world”, so, dear in & of Christ, do not be like this world.

Philippians 2:5 says, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ”.

1st Peter 2:23 says ‘He suffered; He did not reply in threaten. When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile and insult in return’.

Matt. 5:44-Love your enemies & bless those who curse you. (He did it, Luke 23:34).

Matt.5:48- try to be perfect as your father in Heaven.

Matt.7:1- don’t curse, don’t condemn, don’t criticize, don’t blame. (1st Peter3:9)

Then He is ready to fulfill His promises. He says, “I will bless you from this day (Haggai 2:19). I will not leave you, nor forsake you (Hebrew 13:5). I will give them praise and honor. (Zephaniah 3:19-20). No weapon shall work against you (Isaiah 54:15, 17).  And the greatest reward is waiting for you, a life that never ends, an everlasting life, a holy kingdom.(Revelation 21: 1-4), a life in which no death, no tears, no cry, no worry, no pain, no mourn & no want at all.

A Prayer- Kind Jesus, Holy Scripture tells that you forgive sins & sanctify sinners. So I pray that kindly wash me with your blood, flowing from cross and make me holy now and keep me holy for ever. Help me to know and obey your commands. Help me to do your will. Through your precious blood I pray.



Amen.
