Finding Strength In Jehovah God Through His Son Jesus Christ

People ask, why do people kill and murder each other? Why is there so much suffering in the world today? And who’s responsible for all the earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, massive flooding, and diseases that have devastated mankind throughout the millenniums? Is there a God, and if so does he care?

Why are there wars and fighting among the people of the world? Why is there starvation and hunger in the world we live in? Why do people hate one another and who’s the blame? Is there a cure for all these ills that plague mankind? Will we ever be free of all this? The answer is unequivocally “Yes”. There is a day coming when there will be no more sadness (Isaiah 25:6-8).

The awe-inspiring and Great God Jehovah (Yahweh-YHWH), creator of heaven and earth and all that exist is responsible for the creation of everything and everyone that exist and has ever existed. The universe: planets, galaxies, solar systems, stars, heaven, earth, oceans, seas, land, plants, animals, spiritual beings, human beings, and so much more that is above and beyond the comprehension of mortals, are all part of His (Jehovah/Yahweh) magnificent and glorious creation. There isn’t anything that was created that the Great God Jehovah and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:26) did not create (Genesis 1:1-31).

Before the creation of man Jehovah God created spiritual beings that are called angels (messengers), they are created above or higher in dignity than man. They are far superior to man in every way: intelligence, strength, will, and might. They defy all physical laws that govern man’s existence such as: gravity, matter, energy, and properties. Angels have a limited amount of foreknowledge that enables them to glimpse into the future but their foreknowledge is not even a small fraction of the foreknowledge that our Great Jehovah God Himself possesses.

When the Great Jehovah God created the angels and man He did not create them as automatons without the ability and the mind to think and choose for themselves; instead, He created them autonomously to function as free thinking and free willed creatures. Although Jehovah God’s desire was that both angels and men would worship Him and love Him; nevertheless, He left the option open for them to decide for themselves if they would worship, honor, and obey Him, or if they would reject Him and choose to do something else.

Lucifer (morning star, light bringing), once was a high ranking angel (cherub) that stood before Jehovah God in the heavens. He had a position that was above many of his fellow angels; he has been described as a very beautiful angelic creature before his revolt against Jehovah ( Ezekiel 28:-19). Lucifer’s revolt was rooted in his desire to be worshiped as God instead of Jehovah (Ezekiel 27:1). He wanted all of the heavenly angels to follow his revolt and worship him as oppose to worshiping Jehovah God (Isaiah 14:12-15).

Angels that are of far greater intelligence than man were convinced by Lucifer to worship and follow him. That in itself shows the power of persuasion that he wielded over spiritual creatures that are far superior to man and he convinced them to reject Jehovah as their God and listen to him and him only. The bible tells us that many, many angels chose to follow Lucifer and rebelled against Jehovah (Revelation 12:4).

After Lucifer and the rebellious angels revolt against Jehovah they were allowed to remain in the heavens (far above the heaven that’s part of the universe) for a while. Their rebellious course continued to descend down a road of decadence, declivity and moral decay; subsequently they were forcibly removed from the presence of Jehovah (Revelation 12:7-12).

At a certain point in the stream of time, after the creation of the angelic creatures; after the creation of heaven and earth, and everything within it; Jehovah God chose to create man (Genesis 1:26-31). Everything He created was good including man (Adam and Eve) who was the crown of all His creation.

Lucifer who chose to deceive Adam and Eve and disrupt their loving relationship with Jehovah God convinced Eve to disobey God’s commandment and do just what God had instructed them not to do. When she was thoroughly convinced that Lucifer was right and Jehovah was wrong she went ahead and committed the act (eating the forbidden fruit) that God had told Adam would result in death for the both of them and all their offspring as well (Genesis 3:1-19).

Lucifer (morning star), name was changed to Satan (adversary, slanderer) the devil after willfully slandering Jehovah God to Eve and seducing her to sin against God by deliberately disobeying His commandment(s). Satan is known as the father of lies (John 8:44) and the deceiver of the whole world (Revelations 12:9). When Satan successfully led Adam and Eve to rebel against Jehovah God sin entered into the world.

Sin is evil; sin is wickedness; sin is a destroyer; it destroys the life of men; sin brings on suffering; sin brings on diseases; sin brings about disorder; natural disasters; disruption of the land (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and all other “so called” natural disasters); sin breeds hatred; discord among brothers, envy, jealousy, strife, and all manner of human suffering.

When sin entered the world the world became polluted with gross wickedness that has brought devastating results to the human race; before sin entered into the world there were no tornadoes, earthquakes, storms, flooding waters, hurricanes, tsunamis, or anything else that brought about death and destruction. Death and destruction is a direct manifestation of sin.

Satan the devil was eventually cast down from heaven to the earth (Luke 10:18) and along with him all the angels that had rebelled against Jehovah God (Revelation 12:4). The angels that were cast down from heaven are no longer referred to as angels, but due to their rebellious nature they are now referred to as demons (evil spirit). Some have been allowed to remain here on earth until Jesus Christ triumphant return (1Thessaloanians 4:16-18) while others are confined in the abyss, or hell as it is commonly known (Luke 8:31).

Satan’s kingdom is a vast kingdom where his followers (demons) are totally committed to evil and the proliferation of it. It is a kingdom that employs supernatural intelligence that is used in the physical and spiritual destruction of mankind (2Thessalonians 2:9). They oppose God and man that is made in the image and likeness of God. As powerful as Satan is he is not omnipotent nor is he omniscient or omnipresent; instead, he relies on the innumerable demons that obey his orders day and night–they carry out his work around the world (Revelation 12:9).

Make no mistake about it evil is present in the world that we live in and its origin can be traced back to Satan the devil who is responsible for all evil that exist in the world today. Although he disguises himself in many ways and even presents himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthian 11:13-15), his sole mission is to disrupt Jehovah God’s loving plan of salvation for the world (John 3:16) and eternal life for all of God’s children.

His will (Satan) is that all men worship him and him alone thereby forfeiting the free gift of salvation that Jehovah God has made available through His loving and gracious Son ,Jesus Christ, who died on the cross (Calvary Hill) for the sins of the whole world.

Satan is the epitome of all evil and ill will. He is responsible for and behind all murders though men must give an account for actually committing the act; Satan cannot force men to commit murder; they have a choice to do it or not, but again, Satan (spirit of darkness/evil) encourages men to commit murder through persuasion and deception–much like he did Eve in the garden of Eden (John 8:44).

War and all the atrocities that it bring can be traced directly back to Satan and his kingdom. In fact, wars, pestilences, epidemics, pandemics, famines, starvation, sickness, hunger, droughts, and all manner of human suffering has been brought on by Satan the devil (Ephesians 6:12).

Satan tries his best to deceive people into believing that he does not exist and that to think so is pure stupidity. He uses so called educated people to denounce anyone that would remotely suggest that there is another source in existence that science does not know about or acknowledge. Scientists and even some theologians (2Corianthians 11:13) have categorically denounced the possibility of Satan the devil being a real living spirit creature that is responsible for all the human suffering in the world (2Corithians 4:4).

However, Jehovah God is a loving and forgiving God who has not forgotten or forsaken His children–not in the lest bit. That’s why He lovingly sent His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) into the world to become the “Sacrificial Lamb” whose blood cleanses us from all sin (John 3:16). It is the blood of Jesus that washes our sins away. Through Jesus Christ redemptive work on the cross our sins were atoned for and we are forgiven for the sins we have committed if we avail ourselves of such a great opportunity that Jehovah has so lovingly and graciously given us through His Son Jesus Christ.

Redemption has been extended to all of mankind through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. We can be saved from eternal damnation by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. How do we do this? It’s very simple: confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jehovah God raised Jesus from the dead; you shall be saved (Romans 10:9); after which, confess your sins to Jehovah and sincerely repent of each and every one of them.

Talk to God in a very personal way and ask Him for mercy in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Remember, all your prayers must be prayed in the name of Jesus because it was Him and Him alone that died on the cross for our sins (1John 1:7). And there is no other name under heaven whereby men can be saved (Acts 4:12).

Through Satan the devil, death and destruction was brought on mankind, but through Jesus Christ came: redemption, salvation, and the prospect of eternal life has been once again presented to mankind. Hallelujah! Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Jesus is lovingly standing at the door of your heart asking and waiting patiently for you to allow Him to come and dwell inside of your soul for evermore (John 14:23).

Jesus paid the ultimate price for your sins and mine; He gave His life up for us-suffering tremendously on the cross to atone for all of our sins, and through His stripes (an unmerciful beating prior to the crucifixion) we were healed (1Peter 2:24). Hallelujah!

Satan the devil is committed to the everlasting destruction of mankind, he spends every minute of his miserable existence for the destruction and annihilation of mankind who was made in the image and likeness of Jehovah God. Make no mistake about it he has no control–no power over Jehovah at all; in fact, it is only possible that he exist because he has been given a certain amount of time before he is cast into the lake of fire and tormented for ever and ever–Hallelujah! That great and blessed day is coming but first there are some things that must take place (Revelation 20:1-3 ,7-10).

If you haven’t received Jesus Christ into your life there is no better time than today–right now. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself and He is willing to come into your life and give you salvation–salvation that was bought and paid for with His blood on the cross on Calvary Hill. But He also rose the third day from the grave for the justification of our faith, now Jesus is at the right hand throne of Jehovah God interceding on our behalf. He is our eternal high priest that pleads for us (we are sinners!) day and night; night and day.

Jesus is love and He is extending His hand out to a dying world that has been completely taken captive by that old serpent Satan the devil (John 12:31,14:30, 16:11). Your eyes (spiritual eyes) can be open and you can be delivered from the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of light through the author of our salvation, Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19).

You don’t have to remain shackled and bound any longer, you can be set free of all satanic strongholds with prayer and faith in Jesus Christ. Just a heartfelt prayer can open the door to a new life–a new life in Jesus today! Why allow Satan to continue holding you captive when deliverance is available right now–right this minute!? Please accept this invitation of deliverance before it is too late and the door is no longer open. Please repent and accept Jesus into your heart today.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for the removal of our sins; in other words, His death atoned for our sins–mine and yours. Why neglect such a wonderful gift that has been so lovingly provided by Jehovah God through His Son Jesus Christ? Why continue to subject yourself to demonic control when freedom in Jesus Christ is available right now?

Please pray with me: Almighty Jehovah God, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who died on Calvary Hill for the remission of our sins; I come to you in prayer as humbly as I know how to come, to ask for your forgiveness for the sins and transgressions that I have committed throughout my life. Holy Father, wash me in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and cleanse me of all wickedness and unrighteousness that I have done. Create in me a clean heart and give me your “Holy Spirit” Father. I submit wholeheartedly and I give my life to Christ this day forward. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

The “Holy Bible” tells us that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead we will be saved (Romans 10:9). Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah! You are saved! Now you must proceed to do what God has called you out to do. And through prayer the “Holy Spirit” will direct you and instruct you so that you can begin to bring forth good fruit in Jesus’ name (Matthew 7: 16,17).

If you have never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, please consider doing so today–right now. Jesus is a loving and gracious Saviour that waits patiently at the door of your heart for you to invite Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour. He does not force Himself upon anyone; yet, he is always ready and willing to accept you as His own; all you have to do is ask Him to.

Please pray with me: Holy Father, Almighty Jehovah God, creator of heaven and earth and all that is within it, I bow down as humbly as I know how to ask for forgiveness for the sins and transgressions that I have committed in my life. Have mercy on my soul and deliver me from the clutches of hell and the power of darkness that have held me in captivity all my life. I repent of all my sins and transgressions, and I ask that your Son, Jesus Christ come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour forever.

Wash me in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and cleanse me of all my sins and transgressions. Give me your Holy Spirit to guide and lead me into doing your will. Amen.

The Holy Bible reassures us that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead we shall be saved (Romans 10:9). Hallelujah! Praise God Almighty. Now go forth as a new person in Christ Jesus. You are saved! Study the word of God every single day and pray that His Holy Spirit will give you understanding when you read and study the word of God. Fail not to give testimony to others about your newly found salvation in Christ.

If you have received Jesus Christ in the past but returned to follow Satan, please accept this invitation to return to your Lord and Saviour today before it is too late. It is a terrible thing to crucify Jesus Christ all over again through wicked and evil practices, after professing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour (Hebrews 10:31).

Please pray with me: Holy Father, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I repent of all the sins and transgression that I have committed after receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, only to turn back to follow Satan the devil. Father God, have mercy upon my soul and deliver me from the powers of darkness that have held me in captivity. Wash me in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ), and cleanse me of all wrongdoings. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.

I recommit my life to Jesus Christ and I pick up my cross to follow my Lord and Saviour all over again. Thank you Father God for being so merciful and forgiving toward me a wretched sinner that have done abominable things before God. Thank you Father God for your undeserved kindness.

In closing, we must all stand guard and stand together as disciples and servants of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour and Jehovah God our creator. As Christians we must put on the whole amour of (Ephesians 6:13-18) God to successfully fight against the powers of darkness that has launched an all out attack against Jehovah’s servants—those who follow His Son Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone; not some earthly organization(s) that employs the name of the one true God—Jehovah (Jehovah Witnesses); yet are guilty of leading men further into darkness through their occult like tactics and brainwashing dogma that is inaccurate and self serving.

Jesus said, ” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father (Jehovah) except by me” (John14:6) Today you can come out of darkness into the light by receiving Jesus Christ in your heart. It is Jehovah God’s will that all men be saved and that none be lost.

Before I close I would like to say this: in this discourse as in many of my writings I use the word men to speak of mankind. Jehovah God’s love for females/women is just as pure, loving, gracious, and sincere as it is for males/men. With Jehovah God there is no respect of persons (Romans 2:11) and He is faithful and just to receive all those that come to Him seeking shelter from a world that is controlled and dominated by the prince of darkness, Satan the devil (John 12:31).

I pray that our awe-inspiring Great God Jehovah; God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will keep you and preserve you until the coming of the kingdom of God. Amen

Note: Please understand that over time new revelations are given to me to pass on to all that take the time to read the articles/sermons that I post. Therefore, I believe it is imperative that I share these revelations to all who will listen.

In this article/sermon as with all my articles/sermons I use the name Jehovah when referring to the one true God, and I use the name Jesus Christ when referring to the Son of God. However, I want to set the record straight now, and correct this error.

The true historic name of the Father is “Yahawah” spoken in the ancient Hebrew tongue; Jehovah is a translation of that name. Jesus Christ is a modern day misinterpretation of the messiah “Yahawashi”. It is important that we learn to call upon the true name of the Father and the Son. Thank you.
