Our Eternal Home: The New Jerusalem

Our Eternal Home: The New Jerusalem

By Michael Houke


For those of us who feel that we have not much to look forward to at the present, or for those who need something to pick you up, or for those who want something to bring a smile upon their face, here is a glimpse of our future home. If this doesn’t re-charge your batteries then you are already dead.


Reason to smile #1
She will be like a most precious stone, like jasper and as clear as Chrystal.

Reason to smile # 2
She will have a wall with twelve gates and twelve angels at them and the names of the twelve tribes of Israel written on them.

Reason to smile #3
The City will be cubed with three gates on each side.

Reason to smile #4
The wall of the city will have twelve foundations and the names of the twelve apostles will be written on them.

Reason to smile #5
The city will be 1,500 miles square. Roughly, the area from the east coast of the United States, to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. On top of that it will be 1,500 miles high. This will be a huge city fully capable of housing comfortably billions of saints. 

Reason to smile #6
The walls will be 200 feet thick. The walls and gates will be made of precious stones, with streets paved with gold.

Reason to smile #7
It will have no temple, for God and the Lamb will be our temple.

Reason to smile #8
It will have no sun or moon, for the glory of God will illuminate it.

Reason to smile #9
The gates shall not be shut, yet nothing evil can enter through them, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Reason to smile #10
It will have a river that runs through it, as clear as Chrystal.

Reason to smile # 11
There will be trees in the city bearing fruit on either side of the river.

Reason to smile # 12
There will be no more curse.

Reason to smile #13
We shall see God’s Face.

Reason to smile # 14
There will be no more evil or sin.

Reason to smile # 15
There will be no more death, no more pain, no more mourning and no more tears.

Reason to smile #16
The Lamb will finally lay down with the Lion.

Reason to smile#17
We will be spending eternity with our Father and His Son, our Savior, in this beautiful mansion!!

There, now your batteries should be fully charged and you should be smiling about right now and you better be happy about it, because it doesn’t get any better than this. 

God Bless
Each and every Saint past, present, and future.


Glory Be To JESUS! Amen!

To Discredit the Savior

To Discredit the Savior

By Michael Houke

Jesus was doing incredible miracles for all to observe, therefore His serventhood was undeniable. This created a huge problem for the scribes. They had to discredited these miracles and acknowledge them at the same time. So, they declared that Jesus was possessed by Beelzebul, and that he cast out demons by the ruler of demons. 

This was slander and the scribes knew it but it was they could come up with on such short notice in their desperation to discredited Jesus. They actually thought they had knocked out two stones with one punch and at the same time implying that Jesus was in a league with Satan himself. Nice try but no cigar.

You see, Jesus knew what the scribes were thinking and takes the initiative and addresses the scribes in parables. Jesus said to them, “how can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand” Jesus’ logic was beyond debate, the Scribes claims were ridiculous. Then Jesus turned to them and added “and if Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast out demons?” The scribes were once again defeated if not soundly crushed by the Messiah. 

Jesus always knew what the scribes and Pharisees were thinking and he was always one step ahead of them and completely victorious over them in every encounter He had with them. What is so ironic about this is that for some time these religious leaders were plotting and planning to kill Jesus, It never occurred to them that the very man they were plotting to kill raised people from the dead. If Jesus had the power to raise people from the grave, just how did they plan to stop Him from raising Himself from the grave? Fools never learn. Crucifixions and 2,000 pound stones are no match for the Savior!

God Bless

One Constant In Our Lives

"I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA''Says The Lord,
''WHO IS, AND WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO
COME,
THE ALMIGHTY''AMEN AMEN AMEN........(Revelation 1:8)
NEVER THE SAME.(Revelation 1:1-8)

DO YOU EVER WISH that things could simply
stay the same?

Just when you figure out how to deal with
a temperamental two-year old, she/he
moves into a terrific threes, and you begin
to wonder who this small person is wearing
your childs clothes...and, by the way, why
don't those clothes fit anymore? Just when
you get settled into your new home and
neighborhood, you get transferred and
have to begin packing and looking for
another new home, new church and new
friends. Just when you're collecting the
travel brochures, an ageing parent goes
into the hospital and needs your care.
Wearily, you lay your head on the pillow
and lament,

''Dosen't anything ever stay the same?''

An ancient Greek philosopher said, There is
nothing permanent except cahnge.''
BUT Amids the changes of life, if you listen
very carefully, you can hear
the VOICE of GOD speaking comfort to your
soul:
''(I AM) THE SAME YESTERDAY AND TODAY AND
FOREVER.''(Hebrews 13:8)

Though our children may change, though
our job situations may be flux, though our
parents may have failing health, though
circumstances may be unsettled.

WE CAN TRUST IN THE TRUTH THAT OUR
EVERLASTING GOD NEVER CHANGES. Amen :)

John's final book of the BIBLE, REVELATION,
tells of the changes that lie ahead. BUT John
is quick to remind us that we have one
constant in our lives:

GOD.HE IS, AND HE WAS, AND HE IS TO COME.
HE is the ALPHA and the OMEGA,
The BEGINNNING and the END :)

HE bookends time
HE is able to provide stability amidst the
transitions of life.
If your legs feel unsteady because of the
changes you face.

LOOK TO GOD.
HE started everything, and HE will finish
what HE started.

HIS CHARACTER NEVER CHANGES,
HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS
AND HIS POWER NEVER WANES :)

YES it is good to know that some things
NEVER CHANGE. :)

Bearing The Fruit is what the Lord Desires

Saints of the Lord,



Yep! He Blessed the Land-Set Apart to be fruitful-
Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 
Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 


He Made Man Out of the Earth-
Gen 2:7  And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


He Blessed Man to Be Fruitful-
Gen 1:28  And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


He and His presence through his servants is to be honored by Fruits-
Gen 43:11  And their father Israel said unto them, If it be so now, do this: take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spicery and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;


Its His Command and Law-
2Ch 31:5  And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.


We Honor Him By our Fruits-
Pro 3:9  Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:


We are Known by our Fruits-
Mat 7:16  By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?


Fruits come out of the Tree of Life-
Rev 22:2  in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.


Servants of the Lord Desire to see Fruits in our Life-
Php 4:17  Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account.


The Fruit of Spirit Are-
Gal 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,


The Fruits of Light Are-
Eph 5:9  (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),


Being Fruitful is Abiding in Jesus and Father in Heaven-
Joh 15:16  Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.


Bearing Right Fruit is abiding in the Lord-
Joh 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.


To bear the right Fruit we must die a thousand times of selfishness and Lift Lord-
Joh 12:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.


Our Tongue Bears Fruit and Guides the Direction of Our Lives-
Pro 18:21  Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.


Carrying cross daily dying a thousand deaths of self desire and pride and Lifting the Lord High in our Lives will bring Forth fruit Like the seed that falls in fertile Soil-
Mar 4:8  And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 
Mar 4:9  And He said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 


Amen!Glory Be to Jesus!

Rest In The Salvation

Saints of the Lord,

Divine exchange-In a parable the Lord shows us how thorns and thistles choke the harvest of the seed sown in the field of life. These thorns and thistles represent the daily worries of our lives, worry of a future, a present living, so many challenges and needs, wants and desires that choke the growth of the harvest that the Lord has in our lives in His perfect will.
Luk 8:5  A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

Luk 8:6  And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

Luk 8:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

Luk 8:8  And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

                   

A person wears his achievements like a crown and it represents the success of toiling about in the thorns and thistles of this world and achieving wealth ,status or position in one’s life with ones efforts.

We all wear the robes of achievement and our crown of achievement in this world and walk like a victor in life nothing less than a kingly display of a champion in life on this earth.

The Divine grace of the Lord Jesus and his crown of thorns calls us all to REST IN THE SALVATION offered by our Lord Jesus.

Where did these thorns come from?    

Gen 3:17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Gen 3:18  thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Gen 3:19  in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Yes! They came due to our disobedience to hearing God's voice His command.

He sweated Blood for us that we may rest from our heavy labour!
Luk 22:44  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

Divine Exchange out of the Fathers Heart of Compassion! Out of Divine Love of Lord Jesus for us!

Mat 27:28  And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

Mat 27:29  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

 Lord Jesus finished it all; he took away the thorns and thistles that were for us representing it by his crown of thorns on the cross. He sweated blood to ease our labour; he took all the pain of our achievements and displayed them by the scarlet robe and by the crown of thorns.

He Said unto us...

Mat 11:25  At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Mat 11:26  Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Mat 11:27  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Mat 11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mat 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Mat 11:30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

For where there is presence of the Lord, there is no sweat,

Eze 44:17  And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

Eze 44:18  They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.

For where there is presence of the Lord, there is rest,
Exo 33:12  And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favor in my sight.

Exo 33:13  Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

Exo 33:14  And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Jesus Christ, asks us to Rest in His Salvation by His Divine Grace. No more thorns of our labour but riches and glory in Father's Perfect will.

O Lord, help us grow in understanding and wisdom that will make us choose your paths and do according to thy ways. Make our hearts like the fertile soil the good soil and it bring forth fruit a hundred fold. May your anointing of the Holy Spirit - your presence in us last forever. We ask that you will teach us to live by grace attaching to the anointing that flows through us by your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we ask, Amen!

The Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ is the Gospel  of Blessings! Let us all thank Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah for through Him comes the Salvation for ALL.

Glory be to Jesus! Amen!

Messiah Mandate

Saints of the Lord,

The word of Lord declares the truth and its the knowledge of the truth that sets one free. It also carries the Messiah Mandate! Messiah was promised right at the beginning when sin entered. Sin was introduced to rip off our dominion over this earth...

Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth

Yes we had Dominion, and we lost it due to our Sin and Satan got the dominion. How? Why? 

Because he can never have the heavens, he fell down to earth and took it over from Man by tricking him to sin...

Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

 Gen 3:2  And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: Gen 3:3  but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 Gen 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 

Gen 3:5  for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

 Gen 3:6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 

But God was merciful to them, He did not intend to kill sinners, He wanted to kill the Sin. He promised the Messiah Right there. He came seeking Adam and eve and clothed them...

Gen 3:9  And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou? 

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." Gen3:15

Gen 3:21  And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. 

That’s why it had to be a woman’s seed, Eve’s seed not Adam’s, so He was the son of Mary. Messiah was promised right there when sin entered. And Satan has no power he can just bruise our heel born again children of God! But we have higher power we can crush his head!

He Separated Himself for us all... 
Mar 1:9  In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 

He Had One Message for us all...

Mat 4:17  From then on, Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!"

Yes He Became sin and killed sin on the cross, He killed the sin forever...

2Co 5:21  Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Rom 8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Joh 3:17  For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

He rose from the dead..

Mat 28:6  He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

He en-showered us with the anointing of the Holy Ghost! Fire from The One who is higher than every thing ...
Act 2:1  When the day of Pentecost came, all of them were together in one place. 
Act 2:2  Suddenly, a sound like the roaring of a mighty windstorm came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 
Act 2:3  They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated, and one rested on each of them. 
Act 2:4  All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them that ability. 

Just as John the Baptist proclaimed about Him...
Mar 1:7  He kept proclaiming, "The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to bend down and untie his sandal straps. 
Mar 1:8  I baptized you with water, but it is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

                                        

He saved us and Gave us all power....

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.Luke 10:19

Why all the power is given us us? Restored upon us? The power and dominion Adam Lost? Why?

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up [God's] dominion over the earth?Job 38:33

We ourselves can’t :-( , But with Jesus we can :-) ! , Filled with the anointing of the Holy Ghost! He made it Possible with his blood, to wash us clean, and restore us to our Glory! It’s not Just being saved but getting the lost saved!, Our salvation is for a purpose, Redeemed and Restored for a purpose. Purpose of getting our earth back, and establish our dominion over it.

O, servants of Lord, You are taking the land, tearing down walls, by singing and preaching the word just like Joshua!

Yes its Yeshua the commander of the Lord's armies taking Land for Joshua!

The commander of the LORD's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.Joshua 5:15

                                                                                                                          

He is there in revelation coming back to take the earth back-

Rev 19:11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 

Rev 19:12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.

 Rev 19:13 And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

 Rev 19:14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 

Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

 Rev 19:16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

And what will our mandate accomplish-

Rom 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 

Rom 8:20  For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

 Rom 8:21  that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

Yes! As the Messiah returns the children of God will shine in complete Glory and the entire creation will be renewed!

How is that possible? Because we are a part of creation, we are made from the creation, when we receive glory the entire creation dose...

Gen 2:7  And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 

                     

O Dear Saints of the LORD!

Pray for us all that we receive the Fire of the Lord and complete our mandate as you are doing in the precious power of the blood of Jesus!

Our Father In Heaven, Let Thine Kingdom Come, Let Thine Will Be Done On Earth As It Is Heaven! In Jesus Name! Amen!
