Provoking The Most High

On By KateIn Devotionals, The Most HighLeave a comment

Psalm 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

How does one make fun of God? It is quite simple, actually. It comes in many different forms, but at its root, it attacks the very principles outlined in the Bible. It began with Lucifer when he thought he could be as God. The result of this prideful endeavor took a third of the angels with him and all were cast out of Heaven. Since that day,

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  (13)  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  (14)  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The Bible has a lot to say about what provokes God. A few examples of such provocation can be seen in:

Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Deuteronomy 6:14-15 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;  (15)  (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

Psalm 106:28-29 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.  (29)  Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Isaiah 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

We see that anything that goes against God’s will, or makes fun of His nature, provokes His anger. These are just a few verses outlining what God is against. In them, you can see what goes against God’s will, and illustrating the consequences of turning away from His commandments. In Psalm 106:28-29, we see that the people sacrificed to Baalpeor, a chilling example of how easily a society can be led astray. Just who was this “god”? He was known as Baal of Peor and was a Moabite idol, a variant of the Canaanite god named Baal, worshipped on Mount Peor through rituals laden with immorality and idolatry. This worship revolved around sexual immorality and extreme forms of idolatry, which serve as reminders of the dangers of deviating from true faith. With the trans movement and the alphabet group, we see a modern manifestation of this ancient practice, as societal norms shift towards accepting and even glorifying behaviors that sideline God’s teachings. Granted, those involved may not believe they are serving another god, but in their actions, they are indeed placing something above the divine authority of God, thus becoming unwitting participants in a cycle of rebellion. In so doing, they are bringing judgment upon themselves, facing spiritual consequences that can ripple through our communities. Furthermore, the abortion industry is booming, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, as many turn a blind eye to the sanctity of life. They are shedding innocent blood and bringing judgment not only upon themselves but also on our great nation, eroding the moral fabric that has historically united us. It is vital for us to reflect on these truths, to stand firm in our convictions, and to advocate for a return to the principles that honor God’s will.

Lastly, as believers we are watching our land turning against Israel, a situation that is as distressing as it is alarming. Anti-Semitism is on the rise, not only here in the U.S. but all over the world, manifesting in various forms from rhetoric to violent actions. How can we possibly be returning to the ideology of the 1930’s and 1940’s, one of the darkest periods in history that saw immense suffering? Did this world not learn anything from the past? Our President is changing his stand as it relates to the land that rightfully belongs to Israel, which could bring judgment upon our nation and lead to severe consequences for our moral compass. The only explanation for this overall shift against Israel is that we are living in the end times and that the devil knows his time is short. As we witness these events unfold, it’s vital for believers to remain vigilant, to stand firm in solidarity with Israel, and to pray for peace and restoration, knowing that the battle is a spiritual one.

If you “happened” onto this website and you feel God tugging at your heart, please follow this link and read what the Bible says about salvation. Our time here is short, and soon, possibly today, born-again Christians will be taken from this earth, ushering in a new era that many refer to as the Rapture. A time spoken of in Scripture as the seven-year Tribulation will come upon the earth, a period marked by unprecedented challenges and turmoil. You do not want to be part of it, as it is going to be the most horrible time ever recorded in human history, filled with suffering and despair beyond our comprehension. Please, take this post seriously and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, who offers hope and redemption in these troubling times. Only He can save you and provide the peace that surpasses all understanding, guiding you through life’s trials and into eternal life. Don’t hesitate; seek Him today, for tomorrow may be too late!

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Peace Through Troubled Times – Proud

On By KateIn Devotionals, Peace Through Troubled TimesLeave a comment

2Ti 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

The word “pride” or proud has been hijacked by the liberal agenda today. Sadly, it has become totally the opposite of what the Scriptures intended. The first sin committed was the sin of pride and that was committed by Lucifer.

Isa 14:12-14  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  (13)  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  (14)  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

It is not surprising that the Scriptures state that being proud is a sin! The definition has changed through the years but God’s Word never changes! It is settled, once and for all in Heaven. (Psalm 119:89) Look at the difference between the definition originally intended for the word “proud” and what today’s dictionary describes:

Proud

  1. Having inordinate self-esteem; possessing a high or unreasonable conceit of one’s own excellence, either of body or mind. A man may be proud of his person, of his talents,of his accomplishments or of his achievements. He may be proud of any thing to which he bears some relation. He may be proud of his country, his government, his equipage, or of whatever may, by association, gratify his esteem of himself. He may even be proud of his religion or of his church. He conceives that any thing excellent or valuable, in which he has a share, or to which he stands related, contributes to his own importance, and this conception exalts his opinion of himself. Proud is followed by of, before the object, supra.
  2. Arrogant; haughty; supercilious.
noah webster’s 1828 dictionary

proud

  1. Feeling pleasurable satisfaction over an act, possession, quality, or relationship by which one measures one’s stature or self-worth.”proud of one’s child; proud to serve one’s country.”
  2. Occasioning or being a reason for pride.”a proud moment when she received her diploma.”
  3. Feeling or showing justifiable self-respect.”too proud to beg.”
the american heritage dictionary

Is it any wonder that the world doesn’t see pride as a sin? But friend, it truly is! This sin of pride is from the devil himself. The Lord Jesus humbled Himself, leaving a kingly throne and became man so He could be the sacrifice for man’s sins. Humbleness is not taught today and it is so desperately needed!

Exo 10:3  And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 Chron 34:27  Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

Pride is not something to one should practice as a Christian. Instead, humbling ourselves is far better. If you are not truly born-again, you won’t see today’s topic as a sin. But there is coming a time when it will be too late for you to repent and be saved. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – Merging Brain Cells With AI

On By KateIn Devotionals, Rapture and End Time NewsLeave a comment

As I read this news article, I remember thinking to myself, “Well, this can’t possibly end well!” I can just imagine what will be the outcome of such practices! Reader, you must be alert when it comes to artificial intelligence. It can “appear” to be something that will be used for the good, but I dare say that the devil will find a way to use it for his purposes. He is a deceiver and a liar so anything coming from his hands will destroy. (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Isa 14:12-14  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  (13)  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  (14)  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Scientists have gone completely insane! We are not God and cannot create artificial “life”!

In collaboration with Melbourne-based startup Cortical Labs, the team has already successfully demonstrated how a cluster of roughly 800,000 brain cells in a Petri dish is capable of playing a game of “Pong.”

The basic idea is to merge biology with AI, something that could forge new frontiers for machine learning tech for self-driving cars, autonomous drones, or delivery robots — or at least that’s what the government is hoping to accomplish with its investment.

How do these ideas evolve, anyway?! The devil’s influence is surely powerful. It is known as the spirit of antichrist. The Apostle John is the only one who wrote about that “spirit of antichrist.” (1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, 2 John 1:7) Before the Tribulation can take place, all these things must happen first. The thought, however, is how much more must happen? Is it possible that there will be people who will be half AI and half human? To what extent will scientists go before they have gone too far?

All these things must come to past in order for the antichrist to come into the picture. We know that the antichrist isn’t revealed to the world until he signs a peace treaty with Israel. In order for a need for peace, there must be war. We are seeing wars now and rumors of wars. We are so very close.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.
