JIMMY DeYOUNG'S PROPHETIC PROSPECTIVE DAILY DEVOTIONAL

June 5, 2017  Thank you for reading my Prophetic Daily Devotionals!   Please visit my website to learn more Bible prophecies being fulfilled in these last days.  Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. For further study - Hebrews 1:1-14 I could hardly wait to get to the book of Hebrews for our devotional thought for today. Now having said that, let's look at the first chapter of this book of the unknown author, unknown but believed by many to be the apostle Paul. That is a debate for another time. We do know that whoever the human author was, he had the entire book "breathed into" him by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Godhead who inspired the human authors, some 40 of them, over 1,500 years. These men wrote 66 books that have no contradiction and all of the authors speak of the Lord's plan for humankind throughout all the ages. God, in the past, did raise up the ancient Jewish prophets to speak His word to us. But, as the text says, "in these last days has spoken to us by His Son". Our key verse tells us where Jesus is, today. He is now seated at the right-hand of the Father in the 3rd heaven. This is an important truth. It tells us that Jesus is not on His throne, which is yet to come, in an earthly kingdom that will be set up in Jerusalem. This is key to understanding what the future holds for our Lord. His kingdom is yet to come. There is another precious truth in this first chapter of Hebrews. The reading today explains to us that Jesus is so much better than "angels", verse 4. The entire chapter tells us how superior Jesus is to angels who were created by Him. However, there is a blessing for us with the creation of angels, they are all "ministering spirits", sent by the Lord to minister to us who are heirs of the salvation that Jesus provides. These angels are to guard over us, to take us into His presence when we die, and to be "fellow servants" with us in our ministry for Him. By the way, when He does leave the right-hand of the Father to come for us to join Him, the angels will come with Him. I would love to see Him and His angels today. PRAYER THOUGHT: Thank you Lord for dispatching angels to minister to us!

PROOFS THE BIBLE IS TRUE! GREAT VIDEO

BE YE NOT DECEIVED...STAY GROUNDED IN THE WORD OF GOD!

INSIDE THE EMPTY TOMB: SERMON BY J. VERNON McGEE

Please listen and be blessed.  Be grounded in the Word of God lest you fall into deception.  If you know your Bible, you will clearly see the lies of wolves.  Do not fall into their snares.

God Bless You All and Share the Gospel of Salvation to the World!

First Corinthians 15:1-11

Death + Burial + Resurrection in body = SALVATION BY GRACE!

THROUGH THE BIBLE WITH DR. J. VERNON McGEE (GENESIS, THE GOSPEL OF LUKE AND REVELATION)

In case you haven't seen my previous posts since I started sharing Luke and Revelation, to save your inbox from being overloaded, I chose to put each one on the same post to save us both time.  He is a great man of God, older and now passed.  The thing I like about his sermons is they are Bible-based and what the Holy Bible says and not in light of the occurrences of events happening today.  That doesn't make them unimportant but if you listen to what he says the Bible tells us, you'll see just how true what he taught was.  What he said would happen (no dates) has either happened, is happening today or we see the "handwriting on the wall" and just how close we are to Christ Jesus's return.  How people can still deny the truth of the Bible absolutely stuns me.  I've loved Jesus since I met Him when I was 6 and never stopped loving and believing in Him.  Oh, how I strayed.  I am a prodigal daughter but I always thought the Bible was a bit vague on end times.  Now, it is clear to me as crystal.  Get grounded in the Word and you will never be deceived by any man.  If you know what God says and trust Him alone, you will spot the lies before you are ever brainwashed into believing their false doctrines.  God bless and PLEASE listen when you have time.  The only changes is the names as he probably never knew who Donald J. Trump was.

Taxes....

God bless and much love in Christ Jesus.

SHALOM...and pay your taxes.  Don't wanna visit you in jail, lol

NEW BLOG INFORMATION

Jesus Christ sends us out into the world to share the Gospel of Salvation.  I still plan to do my blog and participate in my communities but I've been feeling as though I'm being called to another purpose as well. I want to go out and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord God and Savior.  He is the way, the truth and the life. I want one-on-one connections.  What we do here is awesome but are we reaching the lost or preaching to the choir?  We are to love, guide, lead, support, encourage, chastise and rebuke when needed and do all we can to keep our brothers and sisters from straying. These groups are excellent for that but is there more we should be doing?  The world is not coming to us, people.  Lukewarm and fake Christians who play the hypocrite may but the world is perishing and we're doing nothing.  We've been silent too long and hope that the sinners will somehow find their way into one of our buildings.  That's not how the Bible tells us to do it and I am choosing to obey the Word of God rather than man.

We are so far off-track scripturally that if Jesus Christ returns tonight, I'm terrified we'll be the Laodecian church.  It's time to roar and do what God says and not man.  Get out of your denominational boxes and back to the living Word of God and maybe, just maybe, God can accomplish His Will through us.  Do your blogs, websites, videos and communities.  You are doing a great job as for many, that's the only church we have.  I'm starting a home church, learning sign language, studying the Word and try to make a real difference to the lost but I won't compromise His Word...ever!

I can do some but I can't do it all.  If you're willing to help and let's talk to figure out real solutions, write me at WorthyistheLamb737@aol.com.  If so, be serious.  It won't be easy but the rewards are Heavenly.  I pray you email me.  My blog and participation days will be 3 times (or more) per week, esp. my blog but I can't keep up with all my communities.  I will do my best but I'm ready to get out and lead others to Jesus Christ.  Who is with me?

WILL CHRISTIANS ABANDON FAITH-BASED MOVIES?

If you had to guess, what movie franchise would you say is the most profitable? Marvel would certainly be a safe bet, the studio has been raking in cash for years thanks to entries like The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Star Wars probably also jumps to mind, with its iconic lightsaber duels and space battles ensuring plenty of packed theaters. Well, this may come as a surprise, but the biggest contender is actually The Fast and the Furious series. Debuting in 2001, the franchise has rolled out seven films with a worldwide gross of over $3,899,849,616, and the series shows no signs of slowing down (pun intended). The secret to their success is pretty straightforward: They give the viewers what they want.

This is important to keep in mind, since the same rule applies to Christian movies. When producer Mark Joseph told Fox News it was time to abandon the term “faith-based film”, his comments were met with no small amount of shock. He later went on to explain,

“‘The term faith-based in an odd term to describe movies— or anything else,’ he said. ‘For most Americans, faith is a normal part of our lives, so it’s only normal that faith is weaved into movies as it’s weaved into most of our lives.’”

“The term scares away both the marginally religious and the irreligious, and it’s a signal to them that the story is going to be preachy and overbearing,”

Joseph’s comments aren’t without merit. Modern films with strong Christian backgrounds, such as Hacksaw Ridge and Queen of Katwe, have found critical and commercial success without resorting to the “faith-based” label. Still, its unlikely producers or marketers will retire the term anytime soon, for the same reason The Fast and the Furious franchise will continue to make movies: They’re giving viewers what they want.

It’s already been noted that most faith-based films are made exclusively by and for Christians. God’s Not Dead 2 had a successful box office run upon release, but only because the audience was made up entirely of Christians. The same holds true for other faith-based movies such as Do You Believe?, I’m Not Ashamed, and Miracles from Heaven. While Joseph was right to say movies don’t need the faith label to portray a Christian testimony, what he failed to understand is that Christians wantthem to have it. “Faith-based” is no longer a term, it’s a brand.

So what does all of this mean for us as Christians? Well, for starters, it proves there will always be a market for Christian films. No matter how much our culture changes, there will still be movies designed to win souls, bolster the faith of believers, and share the name of Jesus, if only because they’re profitable. Secondly, it puts an enormous responsibility on Christian filmmakers to create good films. If we intend to make art which shares the gospel, we should strive to give it our best.

Lastly, we need to step out of our comfort zones and engage the world around us. Jesus commanded his disciples to go into all the world, not stay in clusters and make movies for themselves alone. Media can be a powerful tool for the gospel, but only if we’re willing to take risks. So let us step outside the walls of our heart and discover the stories God has been preparing for us.

MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

By:  Brenda Alexander
May 4, 2017

To all pastors, associate pastors, teachers, anyone in the church and to every born-again Christian...

We must stop being silent or whispering, especially for fear of offending this world.  We have become a very politically correct church and we are scared to say the name Christ Jesus in public for fear of being ridiculed, mocked or even persecuted.  Of course if you use His Name in vain, the world loves you but say "Jesus Christ is Lord," you will be laughed at and some may be physically attacked.  Atheists are the angriest people I've ever met.

I use to be that way but I am not ashamed of Christ Jesus.  I don't care what this world thinks.  I just praise the Lord that He found me worthy of being hated for His Name's sake.  Remember, He told us that the world  would hate us because it first hated Him.  He also said if you're ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you to the Father.  There's things we can agree to disagree on such as the "timing" of the rapture because there will be one.  We can agree to disagree on the age of the earth.  We don't have to interpret Jeremiah 4:8 perfectly.  However, if you don't have the Gospel of Salvation just right, if you add or take away, you may have a problem.  If you don't believe Jesus is God, neither did the Pharisees and they crucified Jesus Christ.

We have 3 things we MUST do...love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.  Love others as yourself and spread the Gospel to the world.  He died for us, yet that's all He asks.  So decide, are you going to be silent or roar like a lion?  We are living in very perilous times.  Are we in the end?  I don't know but I feel as if we are.  Roar like a lion but with love and never be ashamed of Jesus Christ.  God bless and spread the Gospel of Christ Jesus in First Corinthians 15:1-11.  Much love in Christ Jesus!

JONATHAN CAHN: AMERICA'S SPIRITUAL CONDITION

I really enjoy Rabbi Cahn.  Do I always agree?  No but nor is there anyone I agree with 100% on the Word of God.  After all, we are just humans and we don't get everything right.  What bothers me the most is that the true Church...the Body of Christ Jesus...is very divided and Jesus said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."  America is divided and I feel as if we are now under God's divine and righteous judgment.  We should not have denominations.  The Apostles didn't.  They didn't even have churches.  They just gathered together and it was a gathering of believers only, preparing for battle to spread the Gospel to the world.  I'm not sure when "churches" came into being and why we are so divided but I pray for us to reunite.  There are many cults that will not join us and then we'll never be able to be deceived by wolves in sheeps clothing.  It's not too late for America but we MUST repent and turn back to God personally and as a nation.  We are going to fall if we don't and it is up to you.  God sends no one to hell, we choose that for ourselves just as we choose eternal life with Him.  His laws are good laws.  Evil is now called good and good is called evil.  Christian persecution has begun.  We've all encountered mocking and it is going to keep getting worse and worse unless we choose Him.  We were a blessed nation, not perfect, but blessed until the early 60s when prayer was taken out of our schools.  Feminism is another huge problem as is abortion.  We've killed over 50,000,000 unborn children since 1973 when Roe v. Wade was made law.  Atheism is the new religion and half the country hates the 10 Commandments but want to embrace Sharia Law.   Do they not know they behead and stone homosexuals?  There is no court of law by your peers.  You're arrested, tried and executed within minutes.  Women are beaten.  They use their little children as human shields.  Christians are a peculiar people.  We are under no laws except those written in our hearts.  We aren't under the oral law of Moses.  We are only to pick up our cross, deny ourselves and follow Jesus Christ.  His burden is easy and His yoke is light.  Choose that narrow gate that is Jesus Christ.  We are saved by grace and not of our works or actions.  Choose GRACE.  The plan of Salvation is found in First Corinthians 15:1-11.  Believe and trust that Jesus Christ is Lord God and Savior, that He died, was buried and rose in body to save us to Himself for eternal life.  Sure, you can't live for Him and this world but His way, well, it's one amazing and awesome road to take.
