The Hard Sayings Of Jesus
"Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone
and rock of offense,
and whoever believes on Him
will not be put to shame."
Romans 9:33
There were things that Jesus said that were very hard to hear, but he never tried to vindicate himself. The principle here is that God's ways are NOT our ways, and we are left with the choice to receive him or not. Some demand understanding before they will accept what he has said. But the wise realize that this is the Creator of the universe who keeps the stars in place, so if he says things that are beyond our understanding, who are we to argue against him? A puny human being, fallen at that, and arguing against the great God?
"From that time many of his disciples went back
and walked with him no more.
Then Jesus said to the twelve,
'Do you also want to go away?'
But Simon Peter answered him,
'Lord, to whom shall we go?
YOU have the words of eternal life.'"
John 6:66-68
I think if I had been there, I'd have run after those who walked away and would have tried to explain to them, to show them what he "really" meant by that and persuade them to change their minds.
But Jesus didn't do that. He let them go.
We have to accept God on HIS terms, and many just cannot do that. Most make demands before they'll accept. And Jesus ...will just let them go.
The offense of the Gospel, the offense of the Cross. Most stumble over it. There is only one way, and that statement is an offense to many.
"Because narrow is the gate
and difficult is the way which leads to life,
and there are FEW who find it."
Matthew 7:14
"And blessed is he who is not offended because of me."
Matthew 11:6

Every Promise Includes A Waiting Period
"I waited patiently for the Lord
and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my steps."
Psalm 40:1-2
I waited patiently...
Patience is one of the most important factors in prayer ...and ...one of the most difficult. Sometimes it seems the Lord is not listening. Does the lack of apparent results suggest that what we are asking isn't God's will? NO. It means God is working something out and it requires time. The answer will come in the right time ... IF you do not lose heart.
When the Israelites were in the wilderness, the Lord called Moses to come up the mountain to receive God's Word. Moses told the people to wait for him to return, but he was gone a long time and the people got tired of waiting, so they got into grievous sin. It is amazing how many stories in the Bible required men to wait. God promised Abraham a son through his wife Sarah, but the wait was so long that they took matters into their own hands and Abraham brought forth a son he named Ishmael through Sarah's maid - a sin whose results wreak havoc to this day for Ishmael is the father of the Arabs.
Every believer will be in the position of having to wait after a promise is given. But when the answer comes, it will be greater than what he asked for.
"Now to him who is able to do
EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY
ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK..."
Ephesians 3:20
The time may seem long, but the answer will come and will be greater than you ever expected. Wait for it!

The Deception of Dominion Theology
"He (the Antichrist) shall speak pompous words
against the Most High,
shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
and shall intend to change times and law.
THEN THE SAINTS SHALL BE GIVEN INTO HIS HAND
for a time and times and half a time."
Daniel 7:25
Dominionism teaches that we (the saints) are to subdue the world and bring in the kingdom, and THEN the Lord will be able to come. That's false doctrine. The only one able to subdue the world is the Lord HIMSELF, and he will accomplish that when he comes to this earth, AFTER the reign of the Antichrist. During the reign of the Antichrist the Tribulation saints will be not be cleaning up the evils on the earth, no, they will be persecuted and martyred.
A necessary clarification: "saints" are NOT those canonized by the Catholic Church. The Bible defines saints as all those who have been born again through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
vs 26-27:
"But the court shall be seated,
and they shall take away his (the Antichrist's) dominion,
to consume and destroy it forever."
THEN the kingdom and dominion,
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom (Christ's) is an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."
Notice the word THEN. It is not we the people who give the cleaned-up kingdom to Christ, no, it is TO US that it will be given AFTER the reign of the Antichrist. When the Lord Jesus Christ comes, he will defeat the Antichrist, and he will establish his Kingdom upon the earth. THEN the dominion of the world is taken from the evil one and given to the saints of the Most High.

Don't Starve Yourself
"Therefore we must give
the more earnest heed
to the things we have heard,
lest we drift away."
Hebrews 2:1
Lest we drift away...
If you don't eat, your body will become weak. In fact, if you don't eat for a long period of time you will die. Likewise, if you don't feed in the Word of God, your spirit will be weak. Neglect of your spiritual life will make you vulnerable to DECEPTION and to the lures of the world concerning which you will be less and less discerning. As important as it is to eat every day, it is even more important to spend time with the Lord and feed in his Word -- every day of your life. It is so vital that the Word of God counsels us to give it the MORE EARNEST HEED.
Neglect of the Word of God leads to deception, but it's like the frog in the pot of water being slowly heated - because the heating process is slow, he remains unaware that he's being destroyed until it's too late. And so it is with our tendencies to become dull to the Word of God and ever so slowly we're brought down.
v3 3:
"...how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation..."
This is a clear warning that if one NEGLECTS his salvation he's on his own, he's a sitting duck for the enemy and he shall not escape.
Make it a daily discipline to spend time with God in prayerful communication with him, and read his Word daily. For those who do that, the Word of God becomes the very foundation of their whole lives, and their lives will proceed in a much different way than they would have otherwise.

Victim Or Victor?
"...let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath;
for the wrath of man does not
produce the righteousness of God."
James 1:19-20
Anger is a natural human emotion, but it's one of the most powerful tools that Satan can use against us. Never try to change a situation when you're angry, it can only produce the opposite of what you want. Instead, bring it to the Lord. Pour your heart out to him, bring all the details to him, all your feelings, vent it out before him.
Is it ok to bring angry, hateful feelings to the Lord? Of course! You won't shock him, nor surprise him.
"Be angry, and do not sin,
do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
nor give place to the devil."
Ephesians 4:26-27
"...nor give place to the devil."
And that's the point. If in anger you sin, you're opening an entry for the devil and he'll be only too happy to take advantage of it. Through your anger he can produce all kinds of evil. Instead, give place ...to the Lord.
We are all born in a fallen human nature that makes us totally self-centered, and that also describes the person who hurt you. That person is just a pawn of the devil being used to work all the evil he can through him/her (Ephesians 6:12). Understanding that - reveals to you that it is Satan, not the person he's working through, who hurt you.
When you take your trouble to the Lord, he will help you through it. You will receive strength not your own, strength to walk through the problem as a victor, not a victim. Then the peace that surpasses all understanding will come to you and you will rejoice in what the Lord our God can accomplish in a surrendered heart.
