Sermon Part 6: “Lessons From the Tent of Noah: Walk As Children of the Light And Prevent Satan From Sifting You Like Wheat!”
THIS MESSAGE IS RATED “R.” ONLY THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SHOULD READ IT. PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTED IF UNDER THE AGE OF 17. THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD KNOW THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY USE TO BE, THEY ARE WHO GOD MADE THEM TO BE.
Whatever sin we practice in the “secrecy” of our tents (brains) will eventually come to light. Satan only hopes that we will continue in the sin so he can steal from us the most precious Gift (Royal Benefit) of the New Covenant we have with God in Christ Jesus, and destroy our blessed lives on earth.
Happy Sunday Saints, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Introduction
This is our final Sermon in this Series entitled, “The Story of Noah: You’re Gonna Love It!” The Series has blessed my life richly, and I hope it has done the same for you. As mentioned from the beginning of this Series, the Lord told me to study the life of Noah, in large part to point out areas of weakness in my own walk with the Lord that needed immediate action. Today, I will share some of the things God chastened me about. And, my prayer is that the Series has or will chasten you in your walk with the Lord, so that your life might bear much fruit unto God our Father. (Heb.12:6)
This Sermon builds on the last one, Part 5, in which we gleaned from Scripture how Satan successfully sifted Noah like wheat. After the Flood, Satan stole from Noah the central Tenant of the Covenant Commandment and Promise of God of “procreation,” by enticing Noah to think and take actions to become a “husbandman,” (Tiller of the soil, Farmer) independent of God’s Counsel and Instruction. Rather than waiting on God to tell Noah about the work He had planned for him to do in the new world, Noah on his own volition forged ahead and planted a vineyard, turned the grapes he harvested to wine, and then drank the wine until he became intoxicated, and ultimately passed out in the presumed secrecy of his tent. (Gen. 9:1, 7-9, & 20-21)
Afterwards, Noah’s youngest son Ham came into the tent, (Canaan his son with him) and with evil imaginations abounding in his heart, uncovered Noah, and most likely castrated him. This all being the wicked plot of Satan intended to destroy the Covenant Relationship between God and Noah, to divide Noah’s family, and destroy generations of descendants that were to flow from Noah’s loins.
While Noah suffered this great calamity in his flesh, Satan did not steal from Noah, his abiding “Faith” in God. After, Noah’s sons Shem and Japheth were told by Ham of their father’s misfortune, (lying to the brothers to make them think Noah had done this unspeakable act to himself in his drunkenness) they took a garment and walked backwards, with their faces turned the other way, and covered their father’s nakedness. What a powerful act of love, forgiveness, and grace! Noah immediately woke up from his wine, and by the Spirit of God, knew all that Ham had done unto him. Noah then pronounced a curse on Canaan, rich blessings on Shem and Japheth, and omitted the blessing of Ham. (Gen. 9:22-29)
Though Noah’s day of drunkenness ultimately costs him the ability to reap of the Covenant Commandment and Promise of procreation, he lived another 350-years to see his sons’ descendants and civilization established and spread throughout the earth. What a blessing this was! Yes I say to Noah, that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivers them from the all! (Ps. 34:19) Noah bore the truth of Scripture in his own body that says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (II Tim. 3:12)
In the New Testament, Noah is remembered only for His faithfulness unto God. He is identified in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, and a Preacher of Righteousness, who became heir of the new world after the Flood. But, perhaps the greatest tribute to Noah, is that Jesus Christ warned of His return to earth would be like it was in the days of Noah, before the Flood, in which the people of the earth would be eating and drinking; corrupt in their folly and immorality. (Luke 3:36, Heb.11:7, II Pet. 2:5, & Matt. 24:37-42)
Oh Saints, when Jesus Christ returns, what will the Lord find us doing? (Luke 18:8) We must examine our weaknesses in our thought-life, behavior, and performance. Where there is sin hidden in our tents, we must speedily repent, and go and do that which is right in the sight of God. We only take a deep dive into Noah’s episode of insobriety, so we can take heed less we fall. (I Cor.10:12) We must always be sober and vigilant for Satan our adversary roams the world, as a lion, seeking whomever he can devour; to sift like wheat those who do not continually watch and pray.
Last week, we performed, if you will, a “spiritual autopsy” on Noah’s episode of drunkenness. We asked how this could happen to God’s great Prophet of that Age. We gleaned from Scripture that after the Flood, in the process of time, Noah had become complacent, and set his affections (thought-life) on things of the earth. Rather than keeping his affections stayed on God as they were before the Flood, and throughout the saving of his family and the animals from the destruction of the earth by water. After the Flood, Noah became “preoccupied” with the things that sprung up from the vineyard he planted, more than the True Vine, God. This resulted in Noah making decisions “independent” of God.
Whenever a person chooses to operate independent of God, they open the door for the unquenchable “lust” for things, and “cares” of this life to enter into and govern their thought-life and actions. The lust for things and cares of the world are producers of stress and anxiety. In Noah’s case, Satan used his lust for wine, (an evil desire in his heart from his youth, dormant prior to the Flood) to tempt and entice him to plant the vineyard, harvest the grapes, make wine, and to drink in excess until he passed out in the presumed secrecy of his tent. The devil sifted Noah like wheat, not all at once. But little by little over time, and then in his greatest moment of weakness, the devil stole the precious Promise of procreation from Noah, through castration.
Perhaps you can guess where I’m going to set up today’s Sermon. Like in Noah’s episode with drunkenness, many born-again Christians today have become intoxicated with the sinful ways of the world. They hide within their tents (brains) secret sin.
Many born-again Christians have over time become complacent and comfortable in their conformance to the practices of the world. Sinning at will, as if it is a noble profession, and hiding the practice of sin within their tents (brains). As I said last week, for born-again Christians, there is no sin we can conceive or commit that comes from our regenerated hearts. Our hearts have been made perfect by God, and cannot sin. (Heb.10:12-18, II Cor. 5:17, & I John 3:9)
However, within the human brain, we can receive and nurture evil thoughts from Satan that lead to sinning and the practice of sin, (iniquity) which creates strongholds in the brain. As you reflect on Noah’s indiscretion, consider your own thought-life and behavior. What’s going on in your tent (brain)? Are you in a state of complacency in your walk with God? A good way to tell, is to ask yourself whether you are “more on fire” for God today, than you were when you first received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?
More specifically, since the day you were born-again, has your time in prayer, devotion, service, giving, loving God and others increased, or decreased? (I tell you the truth, when fire is increased with more fire, there is always an increase in the intensity of the fire, and the height of the burn.)
What thoughts of evil are you harboring in the secrecy of your tent; evil imaginations that exalt themselves above God’s knowledge? What cares or burdens are you carrying around in your head? For these thoughts must all be casted-out today, as they are from the devil, and are intended to sift you like wheat. Satan is trying to steal, and to kill, and to destroy the “central tenant” of your New Covenant Commandment and Promise from God, and keep you from harvesting God’s “Royal Benefit” given to us. But, Praise God we are going to turn the “Light” on today, so that we no longer walk ignorant of Satan’s devices, and allow him to sift us like wheat.
The Apostle Paul wrote the following admonishment at I Thessalonians 5:5-11: English Standard Version:
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Let’s go into today’s Sermon.
The Lord Chastened Me About Secret Thoughts In My Tent
We are the children of the “Light” and not darkness, let us assure that our walk inside and outside of our tents is the same; having forth-rightness to uncover sin, turn away from sin, and abstain from it as long as we remain in the earth. (II Tim. 2:19) As the children of the Light, we are to walk in the “knowledge of Jesus Christ and His finished works on the cross, and receive the “full benefits” of our Oneness in God in Christ. “We are the Redeemed of the Lord; not what we use to be, but who God has made us to be.
Therefore Saints: Never forget who you are and where you are seated. We are the “sons of God, who have been “Made” to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. More on this is coming.
As I said before, while preparing this Sermon Series the Lord chastened me. I have come to love and adore God’s chastening; knowing I am His son and God loves me. (Heb.12:6) I can say with all conviction of heart, that I love God in Jesus Christ more than you all. (John 21:15) And, I hope you have this same testimony of the rich love that abides in your heart for God in Christ Jesus. For, according to your testimony, no person should love the Triune God more than you!
In preparing the Series, God said these Words to me. “Son you know by heart many Scriptures and quote them very well. But, there is one Passage of Scripture you are familiar with, but you have not committed it to memory and application. And, you urgently need to! Furthermore the Lord said, you are not alone, as most born-again Christians have not committed this Passage of Scripture to heart with application either.”
“Darryl,” the Lord said, “you must know this Passage of Scripture as well as you know Genesis 1:1, John 10:10, or John 3:16. Make the Words at {I Peter 5:6-10} like a binding cord around your brain and neck, that you never take off. Recite the Verses out-loud, every day, until you know them by heart. For they hold the keys to ensuring that my Covenant Promises will flow into your life, without ceasing.” God said, “The more you read and rehearse the Verses, more knowledge will be revealed to you.”
The Lord continued saying, “Faithful Noah missed out on the central Tenant of the Covenant I made with him and his three sons, (to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth) all because of an act of drunkenness in the secrecy of his tent. Darryl, let the Light of this Passage of Scripture uncover the sin you are carrying in your Tent, walk circumspect before Me, and you will reap from the New Covenant all that I have Promised. Then, make sure you teach what you have learned to fellow born-again Christians, for many are endanger of not reaping the blessings of my Covenant, the “Royal Benefit,” as Satan seeks to sift them like wheat.” My people are not only called eternally to receive My Great “Mercies,” but also My Great Grace!
To these Words, I said yes and amen. Let us now read and rehearse and apply to our hearts I Peter 5:6-10. Receive the Word of God with meekness which is able to save our souls. (James 1:21)
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 “Whom resist stedfast in the faith,” knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Satan Comes to Steal the Steadfastness of Your Confession of Faith
Remember our teaching from last week Saints, whomever God makes Covenant with, becomes the bulls-eye target of Satan’s attacks. Satan always attacks the person at the central Tenant (Commandment/Promise) of the Covenant. “Faith” is the central Tenant of our New Covenant with God. Repeat this please: “Our Faith in Jesus Christ and His finished works on the cross is the central Tenant of our New Covenant with God.”
Saints, I need to remind you that only by the faith of God are our names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Rev.17:8) By the faith of God, you were given the precious Promise of eternal life before the world began. (Titus 1:2) God has predestinated, chosen, and called every one of you from the foundations of the world to be Holy, Blameless, and Accepted before Him in love. (Eph.1:4-5) This is all by God’s faith. The God that calls things that be not as though they already were; framing the worlds by, the Word of His power. (Rom. 4:17-18 & Heb. 11:1-3)
It was God’s Faith, motivated by great love, that He sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten son into the world, to save us all from sin. (John 3:16) By God’s Faith, He placed on Jesus all sin to bear in His own body on the cross. (II Cor. 5:21) God used His Faith, through the power of the Holy Ghost, to raise Jesus from the dead on the third-day, brought Him up to glory and seated Him at the right hand throne of God the Father. (Rom. 8:11-13, Acts 2:24, 13:3 & Eph.1:20)
Moreover, it was God’s Faith, full of love and compassion that dredged us all from the depths of the dead sea of sin, and delivered us from the kingdom of darkness and translated us into the marvelous Light of the Kingdom of God. God’s Faith working in and through the precious blood of Jesus Christ; washed us from our sins and made us all kings and priests unto Him. (Rom. 5:8, Col. 1:13, & Rev. 1:5-6)
Finally, by God’s Faith expressed through the power of the Holy Ghost, that He quickened us together, raised us up all together and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. This, God accomplished for us through Jesus Christ, so we might receive an exceedingly Great “Royal Benefit” throughout eternity.
Furthermore, because we have heard and believed the report of our Great God and His Anointed Son King Jesus, and received His Testimony from the witness of the Holy Ghost, God has given to us “His Faith.” Yes, when we believed the report, in exchange for our belief, God gifted us with the “Faith of Jesus Christ.” Examine the Law of Faith, recorded at Romans 10:6-12.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
The “Law of Faith” declares that any person who chooses to believe in their heart the Testimony of Jesus Christ (That Jesus is the Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, and God has raised Him from the dead on the third-day, and seated Him at the right-hand throne of God) and confesses the same with their mouths receives God’s Salvation. The Law of Faith guarantees that any person who calls on the name of the Lord is made “rich” in both spiritual and natural blessings/abundantly supplied with all good things. Understanding, even that “no person” can be enlightened to believe in Christ’s Testimony without the Holy Ghost first opening their ears and hearts to hear the glorious gospel of Christ, and heed to the Lord’s call. (Eph. 1:17-19 & II Cor. 4:6)
Praise God, when the person believes in their heart and confesses with their mouth the Testimony of Jesus Christ, the Faith of Jesus Christ comes nigh unto them, to their mouths, and goes into their hearts and abides there forever! The Word of Faith is sealed in the person’s born-again heart forevermore!
Prove this truth to yourselves right now. In your heart, nobody can make you doubt the Testimony of Jesus Christ; that He is the Messiah, the Anointed King of kings and Lord of lords who is coming to rapture His glorious Church. The Faith of Jesus Christ is the gift of God! Paul wrote at Ephesians 2:8-9.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Did you see that? God’s Grace, God’s Faith, and God’s Salvation are all free gifts to us from God. We did nothing to earn nor deserve these divine gifts. Understand Saints, in our New Covenant with God, we have of our own doing, “No Faith.” The Faith of Jesus Christ is the gift of God. Thus, the Holy Scriptures school us in the vital necessity of “Faith,” as we live with and for God, under the New Covenant.
For example, the Holy Bible says, we are justified by “faith.” (Rom. 5:1). We walk by “faith” and not by sight. (II Cor. 5:7). We live by “faith.” (Rom. 1:17) We can only please God by “faith.” (Heb. 11:6) Faith, is so vital that Jesus said to Peter (and fellow disciples with him) that Satan desired to have him and sift him as wheat, but Jesus had prayed for him (and the disciples) that his “faith” fail not. Jesus continued saying that when Peter had been converted, to strengthen his brothers. (Luke 22: 31-32)
Do you get the picture here about the importance of “Faith?” Faith in the Testimony of Jesus Christ and his finished works on the cross, is the central Tenant of our New Covenant with God. Therefore, the adversary Satan is after the faith of every born-again Christian. In fact, our New Covenant, recorded at Hebrews 10:23, admonishes us to be steadfast in our confession of faith in Jesus Christ, it reads:
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Our New Covenant with God demands that we become professional professors of faith in the Promises of God given to us through the knowledge (Light) of Jesus Christ’s finished works on the cross, Resurrection from dead on the third-day, and Ascension to the right-hand throne of God the Father. The manifestation of the “Royal Benefit” from which every eternal/temporal blessing of Promise flows in the New Covenant is tied to the expression of Faith of Jesus Christ finished works on the cross.
Here me now. Every attack of Satan and the kingdom of darkness is targeted at getting the born-again Christian to operate in doubt, unbelief, or unawareness in their thought-life (tents) that: (1) the Faith of Jesus Christ abides in them, and (2) the diligent profession of the Faith of Jesus Christ will produce continual manifold harvests of the Royal Benefit in our New Covenant we enjoy having been seated in heavenly places in God in Christ. The “Royal Benefit” of the New Covenant is this: That throughout all eternity, God richly gives to us “His Loving Kindness” through the knowledge of Jesus Christ’s finished works on the cross.
The expressed Faith of Jesus Christ finished works on the cross is the key to receiving the Covenant Promise of God’s everlasting Loving Kindness. But, our adversary, Satan, works to influence and entice us to turn on our own lust for things, and to become consumed with the cares of the world, in an attempt to hinder and block us from receiving God’s Covenant Promise of His Loving Kindness towards us. Every evil thought that we permit to become a strong-hold in our brains (tents) is there to keep us from receiving into manifestation God’s Loving Kindness, which contains every good thing that pertains unto life and godliness. (II Pet.1:3)
The vast majority of born-again Christians are either unenlightened about this next Scripture, or struggles with accepting and receiving this Verse as “Truth” for their lives. Check out Ephesians 2:4-9, and our focus will be on Verses 6 and 7.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
In Verses 6-7, we learn the reason why God extended His infinite mercy and grace to us by raising us all up together to sit together in heavenly places. So that throughout eternity, He might show us “the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus.”
Again, this is the “Royal Benefit” of our New Covenant with God in Christ. Throughout eternity, God graciously and excessively gives to us (the sons of God) His Loving Kindness. The steadfast confession of our Faith in God in Christ and His finished works on the cross assures us that we will receive into manifestation the Loving Kindness of God in all manner of living.
I know my next statement is going to rub some people in Christian Circles the wrong way, but it’s New Covenant Truth. As partakers of the New Covenant we have with God, no matter how we perform (good or bad) God is forever “Kind” towards us! For God is faithful even when we are not! (II Tim. 2:13) Just as God has forever forgiven and forgotten all of our sins and iniquities through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, free of charge to us. (Heb.10:16-17) He also, in perpetuity, has given to us His Loving Kindness, free of charge, through the “knowledge” (Light) of what Jesus accomplished on the cross for us. (Eph. 2:6-7) When we express and hold-fast to the profession of Faith in Jesus Christ’s finished works, we receive into physical manifestation acts of God’s Kindness towards us.
We need to turn the Lights on in our brains (Tents) that God is forever “Kind” towards us through Jesus Christ. This very moment, God is releasing His Kindness towards us all, as He Promises in the New Covenant. Rich acts of Peace, Love, Joy, Healing, Deliverance, Prosperity, and Security are flowing.
As such, there is no material “thing” in this world we need to lust after. Neither is there any “care” or “burden” (trouble, grief, persecution, societal rejection, etc.) we need to be preoccupied with. God’s Loving Kindness has already been made available to us through the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
God’s Kindness is a gift, like faith. There is nothing we can do to earn, deserve, or work for it. I say again to you, God’s Kindness shown towards us is not predicated on whether our behavior is good or bad. God’s Kindness is based on Jesus’ Performance on the cross, His Resurrection from the dead on the third-day, and Ascension to the right-hand throne of God the Father. It’s because we are all seated together in Christ that God’s Kindness flows through Jesus’ Righteousness to us. (I John 2:1, II Cor. 5:21, & Rom.8:32) Through Jesus Christ’s Life flows all of God’s Loving Kindness. (Col. 3:3) Not by your election or timing, but God’s unfeigned Kindness towards you throughout eternity.
Whatever we need, God has already graciously supplied it to us, in perpetuity, by Jesus’s finished works! We must get this Truth into the tents (heads) of every born-again Christian! Transformational thinking is needed to replace thoughts of lust, care, and heavy burdens we needlessly bear, with Covenant thoughts of God’s Loving Kindness towards us; which is dispensed to us non-stop!
Now, we are ready to fully understand and apply to our lives I Peter 5:6-10:
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Saints, as the children of light and the day, let us humble ourselves under the Almighty Hand of God, knowing that God cares deeply for us and watches over us closely. We only submit ourselves to God’s Sovereign and Providential Care. We know His Commandants are not burdensome and are for our good. That God desires only to grace us with the richness of His Kindness.
So we must be sober and vigilant because Satan is walking about tempting and enticing us to lust after things, and to become preoccupied with the cares of the world. But, we are Commanded to “cast all of our care on the Lord because He cares for us.” (I Pet. 5:7) By tempting us to lust for things and/or to be consumed with care is a direct assault on the faith of Jesus Christ abiding in us. Satan tries to chip away at our “mental fitness” in trusting in God, by planting in our heads fear-based thoughts that the confession of faith in Jesus Christ’s finished works will not bring God’s Promises to pass, and that it’s just a waste of time.
The Apostle Peter tells us how to war against Satan and the kingdom of darkness in Verse 9. We are to resist Satan steadfastly in the “Faith.” Resist Satan with the knowledge that whatever lustful thought, or bad report he brings your way; that you refuse to become preoccupied and fall in love with the things/ways of the world, and become enslaved with “care” over trouble. Stand-up to the devil and say “It is written: We are seated together in God in Christ in heavenly places, and God is pouring out His exceeding richness of His Loving Kindness on me, my family, and all who concern me through the knowledge of Jesus’s finished works on the cross. All feelings of fear, worry, grief, anxiety, and frustration connected with bad news I cast it all on Jesus Christ; one time for all times. Soberly and watchfully do this every time the enemy attacks with his schemes, and he will flee from you.
James, the brother of Jesus Christ wrote, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) Resist him in the finish works of Jesus on the cross. Keep the Light on in your brain (Tent) at all times; that whatever the problem that arises, Jesus’ cross, Resurrection from the dead on the third-day, and Ascension to the right-hand throne of God the Father has already purchased the solution: God’s Loving Kindness towards us.
The Goal of Satan in seeking to destroy our Faith walk is to keep us from reaping God’s exceeding riches of His Kindness towards us. Satan wants to sift us like wheat; to have us think this journey in life can only be walked out by caring for ourselves, making our own way and being self-determined, self-motivated, self-reliant, and self-absorbed.
Satan wants to influence us to choose to be absorbed with being “independent.” Just as he sifted Adam and Noah like wheat when they erred and operated independent of God. Jesus Christ said, apart from Him we can do nothing. (John 15:5) Just as Noah was attacked by Satan to do his own thing, Satan tempts us to do the same; we all are afflicted in our thought-life in this way. (I Pet. 5:9) But, we have the Promise from God that if we steadfastly resist the devil in the Faith, he will flee. In time, God will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us in His Will. (I Pet. 5:10)
Do not let Satan fill your head with lust and care, when God has given to you His great Loving Kindness in perpetuity. Let us be steadfastly determined to keep our tents clean with thoughts of God’s Kindness towards us. Let us resist the devil, in assurance that God never leaves, nor forsakes us. The world today is filled with violence, poverty, war, and many disadvantaged people that need our help. If we as born-again Christians would unite in purpose together and steadfastly profess the Faith of Jesus Christ, according to our New Covenant, Heaven would hear us and divinely transfer into our hands all of the necessary spiritual and natural resources needed to deliver and save many people in the world, through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Gee, imagine this: God is forever Kind towards us. Might we as born-again Christians, of our own free will, choose to be kind toward God, His Word, and one another? The Apostle Paul wrote at Eph.4:32:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you
I pray that all Church denominations, and people across all Christian Circles, would come together into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ. Having our spiritual eyes made open by the Holy Ghost to understand the “Royal Benefit” of our New Covenant with God in Christ Jesus. Knowing that we all have been made to sit together in heavenly places to receive God’s Loving Kindness in perpetuity, that together we march and tear down the gates of hell, strengthen our fellow Christians in the Faith and Promises of God, preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the saving of souls, with signs and wonders following, and being a blessing to disadvantaged families throughout the world.
“GOD IS KIND TO ALL, ALL THE TIME, THEREFORE IN OUR TENTS (BRAINS) WE MUST BECOME LIKE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.”
Amen, and thank God for this Series on the story of Noah.
