Thank you for this reminder! Even though we're experiencing a lot of hardships here on earth, we are still blessed to have grace to endure. We are not in spiritual darkness because of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit keeps us to abide in Him. God bless everyone!
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 1Th 5:8 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. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Thank you Pastor John, this was very timely for something I’m dealing with after an outreach in Minneapolis last night. Love to you! Thank you Jesus for this message.
Shalom my brother 👋 Yeshua Loves you and your family. When you Love Yeshua, You will have Yeshua's Love ❤️ in you. You will be a shinning light to others that are in darkness and are still blinded by the lies of the enemy. Thank you for sharing the Truth about Yeshua HaMashiach of Nazareth to the world.
@@xavierthomas5835 shalom 👋 If Yeshua is with you and in you, there is nothing to be afraid. John 14:17 Even the SPIRIT of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth HIM NOT, neither knoweth HIM: but YOU know HIM; for HE DWELLETH with YOU, and shall be IN YOU.
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you JESUS and GOD FOR ALL MY BLESSINGS NOW N FOREVER and Thank you Universe Too and all the beautiful Angels surrounding Me and in HEAVEN🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️💓❤️💖💗
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
I love the contrast between day and night. When you hear, "like a thief in the night..." You realize that for the sons of light and sons of the day, you know it's spiritual awareness and clarity and full sight of godly understanding. Our senses are renewed and full from the Holy Spirit, so the spiritual matters are strongly picked up in this reality now made open to us who are born of spiritual light. We see God's truth in Spirit and all His purposes through His will. So we do not have veils over our eyes nor over our minds. Now a thief coming in the night indicates those who are asleep. They are not awake, nor aware, nor mindful of securing their house and more pointedly, the points of entrance ( doors, windows, etc) for the children of darkness - eyes, hears, mind, hearts, mouth, hands of which are also filled in darkness because they use these senses to carry out foolish thinking. Therefore, they are both veiled and blinded by the devil - Satan to keep them from receiving the knowledge of God and the word of God fully unveils and reveals the radiance of salvation and redemption.
Let us not do such things. Let him pass from your heart and his ways from your mind. And Let us seek him with a whole heart and a new mind. For us go live is Christ and to die is gain. Love you bro
ua-cam.com/video/IWtzb01vlDw/v-deo.html Ross, I really enjoy these discussions, thank you for what you do! I am curious about the meaning of "they" in verse 3. There seems to be a resistance to label "they" in a more specific way, as the text actually calls for. The "they" should not be understood in a vague way, primarily because it is an emphatic pronoun. Meaning, this is a specific group of people; in contrast to the "we" in verse 4, which is Israel. Meaning, "they" cannot be Israel, because the "we" in verse 4 is referring to Israel. Again, Israel is not the "they" but the "we." Nevertheless, this is close to being a distinction without a difference. Since "they" are not Israel, this only leaves the world of unbelievers to call for, "peace and safety." Even though Israel is not the group that "says peace and safety" they are still the ones who experience the benefits of the "peace and safety." So, the end result is still basically the same. However, among the world of unbelievers, another sub category exists. Most of the world of unbelievers are likely not the ones calling for peace and safety. Due to their hatred toward the Jews, the world does not care about Israel; or care about whether they experience peace and safety. But a critical distinction is understood when realizing that even though the UN does not care about Israel either, they need to at least put up a convincing front that they do care, in order to hide their own antisemitic biases. I believe (since it’s already been done by the UN) the UN represents the world of unbelievers as the ones who label the end of the conflict by calling for, "peace and safety." Several months back, Aaron over at God a minute, posted a short video (time stamp:3:25;ua-cam.com/video/IWtzb01vlDw/v-deo.html) where they have most or all of the representatives of the UN security council, literally verbalizing the goal of the whole process, which was for Israel to reverse the current conflict to the place where they have restored the "peace and safety" they enjoyed before the hostages were captured. Therefore, it seems that believers around the world should be waiting to hear the UN utter "Peace and safety for Israel;" as they already did several months back. How quickly do you think "they" (the UN) will repeat all of it when the hostages are returned to Israel.
"Mean things about Trump" makes you sound like you're in the playground. He quite clearly hasn't approved of Biden or his agenda. It's you that doesn't understand. Still trying (and failing) to blame election defeat on Piper.
Looking to men and politics to rescue humanity is a dead-end road and a road covered in shame. Be about the kingdom of heaven, not the kingdom of men!😀

Is there historical recordings of Jesus resurrecting outside of the Bible?
Those who "survive" the disease of 2022 and famine will be at the mercy of those who caused it in the first place.
So you're implying God is not able to protect and preserve his chosen people from the evil rulers of this world?
It is by the mercies of God that we are not consumed everyday.
Sudden like a woman in labor. Intensifying as time goes along.

You said mean things about Trump. With Biden you haven’t said a word. This means that you approve of the Biden agenda. I do not understand you.

@@BloodCovenant So you’re ok with abortionists running the country? Interesting.
Is your desire to bring them (those opposed to God) to the Lord?
@@BloodCovenant Absolutely. Millions of human lives are murdered every year. God does not like it, and has said so in His word.
