One Word, One Breath

2 Thessalonians 2-Part 5
And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.   2 Thess. 2:8-10


LET IT GLOW

One word. How many times has one word encouraged us, cut out our heart, or changed our lives?
Only one word is needed to lift us up-hello, beautiful, yummy, sweet, honey, sweetheart, good, forgive, alive, sorry, help, awesome, love; only one word can cut us to the quick-stop, hate, aweful, mean, bad, evil, get, no, never, dead, divorce, seperate; only one word can change our life-bye, leave, stay, go, come, love, yes, always, forever, gone. And the list could go on.

Do you remember back in Genesis when God spoke the words and it happened, it was, there was, there were? He spoke the worlds into existence out of nothing? That's how He created it all. He breathed life into Adam. He breathed life into me three times. The first was when I was born physically, the second was my rebirth spiritually, and the third was after my surgery almost 10 years ago when I stopped breathing. Thank You Lord, bless Your Holy Name!!!!

Psalm 150:6 says, "Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord."

How often do I give praise to  the Lord? Is it only on Sundays? Is it only in the morning? Is it only in the good times and easy times that I praise Him? Or do I praise Him in the hard times, during the trials, amidst the dry spells, during pain?

"So during the end times, God will merely breathe and His archenemy will be cast into oblivion," stated Charles Swindoll in his book Steadfast Christianity.  

You know, God has the power to slay people with the His breath. He doesn't even have to say one word. Our key Scripture says that He will destroy the Antichrist and Satan that way; one day, poof, and they're in the Lake of Fire forever.

Praise and glory to my God and Savior, forever!!!!!!!!


LET IT GROW

It's sad that one man, the Antichrist, will deceive many people because of his power, signs and false wonder. They will not receive the love of the truth, Jesus Christ,  and be saved. The Antichrist will have his followers, believers, lost and perishing ones.

In Liberty Bible Commentary, it says:

The King James version uses the word received in verse 10. It's the Greek word dechomai, which is a vivid attitude indicator; it means "to welcome" as one welcomes a guest he wishes to entertain. A better translation of the verse has "because they refused to love the turth and so be saved."

That's why they will perish. Sad. I need to keep telling the truth so loved ones will not be deceived.
I want to keep on loving the truth. I pray that you will too. Jesus the The Way, The Truth, The Life.


LET IT GO


Praise the Lord always, rejoice evermore.

Keep on loving The Truth, Jesus.
