Finding Strength In Jehovah God Through His Son Jesus Christ

Persecutions, torment, physical abuse, ostracism, rejection, and confiscation of one’s material possessions are just some of the things many Christians are beginning to experience as the day of the Lord draws near (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17). Satan the devil, the enemy of Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and all Christians has unleashed a reign of terror on Jehovah’s servants all around the world–we are truly living in the last days.

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindred of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. ” ‘ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Revelations 1:7,8).

“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil (Satan) shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; ye shall have tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelations 2:10).

Bitter rivals have become friends (Luke 23:6-12) in their undivided efforts to persecute Christians who dare to take a stand in what they believe in. Reports of Christians under attack has increased exponentially around the world and many fear that the worst is yet to come, but Jesus stated ” to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne” (Revelation 3:21).

In a world where Satan reigns supreme it is no wonder that an all out attack is eminent against Christians because it was Satan who first rebelled against Jehovah God before the creation of mankind.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend into heaven, I will ascend the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High’. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isaiah 14:12-15)”.

Jealousy, envy, hatred, along with pure evil can all be traced back to its father and originator, Satan the devil. Satan, once a high ranking cherub in the heavenly army of Jehovah God became proud and arrogant because of his beauty and his position. Instead of continuing in perfect devotion to Jehovah God he chose to rebel against Jehovah and he persuade many, many (Revelation 12:4-9) the other angels to worship and follow him (many angels did revolt and followed Lucifer or Satan, but many more remained faithful to Jehovah God).

“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy pipes was prepared in thee the day that thou wast created.”

“Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked up and down the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by the reason of thy brightness: I will cast the to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee” (Ezekiel 28:13-17).

There are many who staunchly refuse to believe that Satan is real and that he even exist. Many more will tell you that he is only a figment of some people’s imagination and nothing more; others disclaim the “Holy Scriptures” or “Holy Bible” as nothing more than fictional literature. On the other hand there are those who worship Satan and vehemently deny the “Holy Bible” account of him. They falsely accuse Jehovah God of being the author of all evil and the one who is responsible for all the human suffering in the world today and the past as well.

Satan is the mastermind behind the denunciation of Jehovah God and all that Jehovah stands for. Satan is the author of lies (John 8:44). He alone is responsible for leading mankind down a path of death and destruction since the creation of man.

“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ‘Ye shall not eat of the every tree of the garden’?
And the woman said, ‘we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But 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’. And the serpent said, ‘Ye shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil’ “(Genesis 3:1-5).

Through the “Holy Scriptures” it is quite clear to see that Satan (not the serpent) is responsible for Eve rebelling against Jehovah God’s commands. He accused God of lying when in reality it was really him that was lying. As Jesus stated, he (Satan) is the father of the lie and that’s his position to this very day.

His lies and accusations against Jehovah God are spread by all of his followers and those that worship him exclusively. And in addition to that there are many people who swear that they have no relationship with Satan nor do they believe such an entity even exist; however, they work ignorantly right along with Satan and his followers by blaspheming Jehovah God and His “Holy Word”. This type of ignorance is another ploy of Satan that he uses to work against the kingdom of the one true God, Jehovah.

Satan’s objective is to keep all men from receiving salvation from Jehovah God through His Son Jesus Christ. In his relentless pursuit he works tirelessly in an all out effort to ensure that all of mankind die in their sins, alienated from the saving grace of Jehovah God who has so lovingly given us His Son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross becoming the “Sacrificial Lamb” whose blood (redemption) washed away our sins.

Satan days are truly numbered before him and his kingdom of darkness (fallen angels) will be chained and locked down for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-3) “And there was war in heaven: Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon (Satan); and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven” (Revelations 12:7-9).

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ‘ Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethen is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night ” (Revelations 12:7-10).

Lucifer ( also known as Satan, who is refereed to as the devil after his fall from grace), and Lucifer the morning star before his fall from grace, was cast out of heaven against his will (he and his followers fought but did not prevail) and he has waged a relentless war against Jehovah God’s people here on earth, but his time is short and the countdown continues as his end inches closer and closer. “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: after that he must be loosed a little season” (Revelation 20:1-3).

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Ma’-gog, to gather them together to battle; the number whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and the fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Revelation 20:7-10).

In closing, please remain strong until the end. Do not allow your enemy an opportunity to gain the victory over you, because Jesus Christ has already paid the price for your salvation and redemption through His death on the cross. Satan knows that his destiny is sealed and there is no turning back, but as for me and you we still have a choice and each and every day we should make that choice– Jesus Christ. We must take a stand and make our stand, grounded and rooted in the author of our salvation-Jesus Christ.

However, remember, it is imperative that we put on the whole armour of God each and every day and dare not to take it off: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” ( Ephesians 6:11-17).

Endure the hardships of a good soldier in Jesus Christ even though your heart may be burden down with sorrow upon sorrow, but know this one thing: God will wipe away all of your tears because He loves you so much (Revelations 20:4) Until that beautiful and faithful day continue to persevere and fight the good fight of faith without wavering. Always pray, pray without ceasing and trust Jehovah God through His Son Jesus Christ (our eternal high priest) to take care of you and all your needs…and He will (Matthew 7:7-11).

If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour why not do so right now? Please pray with me: Almighty Jehovah God, in the name of our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ, we bow down before you Father confessing our sins and transgressions and asking for forgiveness for all the sins we have sinned against you, Holy Father. In Jesus name we ask that you wash us in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) who died on Calvary Hill for our sins. Holy Father, from this day forth we commit to you and we give our lives to you Holy Father in Jesus name. Amen.

The “Holy Scriptures” tells us that if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Hallelujah (Romans 10:9). Believe in the word of God and trust in Him wholeheartedly. The “Holy Scriptures” teaches us that faith comes from hearing and believing the “Word of God” (Romans 10:17).

If you have received Jesus Christ but have since strayed away, why not take this time to turn back before it is too late? Jesus is a forgiving and merciful Saviour that is more than ready to accept you back into the fold. He is the good Shepherd that laid down His life for His sheep; in your own heartfelt words cry out to Him and confess your sins. He is a merciful Saviour and High Priest that intercedes for us all. We all fall so very short each and every day and we all must repent of our sins and transgressions every day.

Please pray with me, Holy Father, in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I humble myself and repent of all my sins and transgressions. I truly ask for forgiveness for all the wrong and evil things I have done in my life. Father, I pray, wash me in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and cleanse me of all wickedness and unrighteousness. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right (your Holy Spirit) within me. Teach me your word and will so that I can teach and preach your word to others. In Jesus name I pray amen. Hallelujah! Praise God!

Whether you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour but at some point returned to following Satan, or even if you have never received Jesus Christ into your heart, now is a wonderful opportunity to renew your relationship with Christ, or embrace Him for the very first time. Jesus is Love. Jehovah God is love, and it is their desire that all people come into a personal and loving relationship with the Father and the Son. Amen.

Don’t allow the prince of darkness, Satan the devil, continue to keep you locked in darkness the rest of your life. Why risk eternal damnation by rejecting the Son of God! Life is very short (even if you live to be 120 years old) and eternity is forever, so why subject yourself to living in hell and forever locked away from love? Please, don’t let Satan continue to blind you to the truth. He is the ultimate deceiver and master of lies, deceit, and hypocrisy. Stand your ground on the word of Jehovah God by reading and studying the “Holy Scriptures (Original King James Version) and remember to pray without ceasing. Pray always. Amen and amen.

May the love of Jehovah God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be with you until that great and wonderful day Jesus returns. Hallelujah!
