WHY THE MARK OF THE BEAST WON’T BE A CHIP, BAR CODE OR TATTOO…
Quick and to the point…
Even those who don’t believe in God have heard of it. The mark of the beast. The ‘mark’ that many will submit to showing that they have rejected Christ and accepted the antichrist.

There are those who talk about a chip being implanted, a bar code that will be required for buying, selling and living everyday life. There are others who speak of a literal…

THE BLESSING IN WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING TO ‘USE YOU’…
Please don’t forget this…
The Pharisees, scribes, and religious leaders were constantly trying to trap and accuse Jesus. Many times that was their sole reason for going to the synagogue when they knew He was there (Mark 3:1-6).
In Luke 14 Jesus was at the home of one of the rulers of the Pharisees. You didn’t get into the home of a ruler without an invitation. This was an invitation only ‘event’ which is confirmed in verse 7 of this chapter ( So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them…). There was also a man with extreme swelling of his arms and legs (dropsy) there, but why was he invited too? Why was this man who was looked down upon invited to the ruler’s home? My thought is they were using him just so see if Jesus would heal him on…

MAY THIS ALWAYS REMIND YOU OF GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU…
The lyrics to my wife’s single, “Thanks FOR LOVING ME TOO” are a beautiful walk through that poetically gives examples of God’s love.
Noah’s family You saved
It rained forty days
The Hebrews were slaves
and Moses you raised
to lead them to that land
you promised Abraham.
You called him Your friend.
You showed Your love to him
Your Word tells me that Your love is so true.
I wanna thank You Lord for loving me too.
So many people You healed
Five thousand bellies You filled
A woman in adultery one day
You sent her accusers away
She stood alone with You Lord
You said go and sin no more
You forgave her sins
You do the same for all men.
Your word tells me that Your love is so true
And I want to thank You Lord for loving me too.
Thanks for loving me,
Thanks for loving me too. (Repeat)
Thanks for loving me too
When I acted like a fool You saw me through
When at times, I get caught up in the world
You let me know…I’m still your girl.
Thanks for loving me,
Thanks for loving me too. (Repeat)
Thanks for loving me too
Your Word tells me, Your love is true.
You’ve shown your love, since the world begun
In the fullness of time…You gave me your Son.
Thanks for loving me
Thanks for loving me too. (Repeat)
Thank you Lord, for loving me. (Repeat with ad lib)
Thank you Lord,
For loving me…(Repeat with ad lib)

ARE YOU FOLLOWING GOD FROM A DISTANCE?
Matthew 26:58 (NKJV)
58 But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
Even though Peter followed from a distance…he still followed. Even though he denied Him, he didn’t forsake Him.
Be encouraged even if you aren’t where you should be in your relationship with God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If you have allowed distractions to create distance between you and God.
Even though you may be following from a distance…
Not praying as much as you should.
Not reading His Word as much as you should.
Not attending worship as much as you should.

WHEN WE MISMANAGE OUR BLESSINGS…
Remember when Yeshua fed over 5000 people with just two fish and five loaves of bread that they had more left over than what they had in the beginning…
Matthew 14:13-21 (NKJV)
13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
The LORD performed this miracle so they would have over flow from what seemed to be not enough.
So many times in our lives we may feel that we don’t have ‘enough’.
But, we need to…
- Be thankful for what God has provided.
- Pray for the wisdom to effectively manage what He had provided.
- Have the discipline to manage what God has provided according to His wisdom.

WHEN YOU CAN’T SMELL YOURSELF STINK ANYMORE…
One of the things that reminds me that our bodies and our flesh are temporary is when we stink. As good as you may smell right now, think of the effort we as humans have to put into avoiding smelling bad.
We have to bathe regularly…
Brush and floss our teeth…
Shampoo our hair…
Apply deodorants…
Perfumes…
Colognes…
We as humans have to work at smelling good. Whether we admit it or not, we all smell bad sometimes.
Sometimes if we have been working hard…been sick…or whatever, we can begin to smell unpleasant…YOU STINK.
Have you ever been in need of ‘freshening up’ and were actually able to smell yourself?
You may have raised up your arm, caught a whiff of your own breath…or whatever and said to yourself , “Wow! I stink!
What’s interesting is that if you don’t get an opportunity to bathe soon, you won’t notice the…

TODAY IS ‘TRAINING DAY’ FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE…
Psalm 144:1
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers to do battle”
Men and women of God, TODAY IS TRAINING DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! God is training you for spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:12).
Today is another opportunity to get familiar with and get better at using your weapons (Ephesians 6:10-18).
You will be confronted with situations and challenges that will determine not only your future, but the future of those you love and the future of your fruit, you know, those who God assigns to you along the way.
Just like in the movie starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, the new detective (Ethan Hawke) was assigned to a veteran detective (Denzel Washington) for training. The new detective had a good heart, but he was confronted with and partnered with the devil (Denzel) on his first day.
The entire day was a string of situations that required Ethan Hawke’s character to make the right decision, and the decision wasn’t always easy. At the end of the day, the decisions made by both determined their futures, and the devil tried to sabotage the new detective’s future.
Ethan Hawke’s character’s decisions saved his life, while Denzel Washington’s character’s decisions cost him his.
Who will you be at the end of the day today? Ethan Hawke or Denzel Washington?
The devil is trying to sabotage your day. Just as He did Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew 4:1-11. He is trying to get you to make decisions in one day to high-jack your future. He goes about as roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). He is trying to steal, kill and destroy your testimony, your fruit and your future. Jesus, Yeshua, the Living Word, has come that you can live an abundant life (John 10:10). But, that abundant life shouldn’t be just thought of carnally. God had called us to be abundant in fruit for the Kingdom, in making disciples and Kingdom building. He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
So be encouraged! You are guaranteed the victory if you walk in the Spirit and are led to make the right decisions throughout the day (Galatians 5:16-18).
Remember, that one bad decision at the end of the day can negate all the good decisions made earlier that day.
God is your training officer. He is preparing you for battle (Psalm 144:1). TODAY is your TRAINING DAY. Be strong in the Lord, fight the enemy with the word of God, just as Jesus did in Matthew 4:1-11, and the enemy will flee…but just as he left Jesus until another opportune time, he will be back….
Tomorrow will be TRAINING DAY too.

BEFORE YOU BLAME OR ACCUSE SOMEONE, THINK ABOUT THIS…
Revelation 12:10 (NKJV)
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
Our culture today is quick to place blame, accuse and find fault. Too many times people don’t want solutions, resolution or responsibility, they just want someone to blame.
But, be careful when you find yourself ready to blame someone or accuse someone.
We are made in the image of Yahweh, the LORD God of Israel from Everlasting to Everlasting. And we are constantly being conformed into the image of His Son, the Lamb of God, Yeshua, Christ Jesus.
That doesn’t mean that we literally ‘look like’ God, but it means we have his character and His attributes. But, look at what Christ told…

NAMES MATTER (WHY WE SHOULD STOP CALLING EASTER…EASTER)
As we come upon the season of celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I’m compelled to share what He placed in my heart years ago…my annual reminder.
John 4:24 proclaims that God is a spirit and we are commanded to worship Him in Spirit and Truth….Spirit and Truth.
God also commanded in Joshua 23:7 that we are not to make mention of or swear by the names of pagan gods, particularly those that were worshiped by the people who surrounded Israel.
Joshua 23: (NKJV)
7 and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not MAKE MENTION OF THE NAME of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,
Some of those names were Baal and Ashtoreth (Judges 2:12-15). One of Israel’s greatest sins was when they “did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and Asherahs”(Judges 3:7).
Well here we are in the 21st Century and the enemy knows you love the Lord and he can’t get you to reject Him for an idol, but he did cleverly find a way to defile our worship and get us to commit blasphemy every time we refer to the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua, Jesus Christ.
In fact, if you ask why do we call the celebration of our Lord, Easter, many Christians will admit they don’t know or have never even thought about it.
The name Easter is derived from the name of an Anglo-Saxon/Norse goddess named Ostre or Eostre. This is the same ‘goddess’ that God forbade Israel to mention her name. The name is different in different cultures…Astarte, Ishtar, wife of Baal, Ashoreth, Aphrodite, Easter.
Even though the names are different, in all of these cultures ‘she’ was worshiped as a fertility goddess.
What were some of the symbols of her worship?
Yes, you already know…eggs, and rabbits.
What better way for Satan to convince well-meaning Christians to disobey God by convincing them that they are depriving their children of some joy to keep these symbols alive for thousands of years.
The name Easter has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. It doesn’t even remotely make sense, but you can’t get well-meaning Christians to stop using it because it’s so ingrained in the way we think (head) and the way we do things (hands) (Revelations 13:16). Remember that God warned us through the apostle John that the spirit of the antichrist was already here and working (1 John 4:3, 2 Thessalonians 2:7).
Revelation 13:16(NKJV)
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
But some may say it doesn’t matter what you call the celebration of His resurrection as long as you know the meaning…
Think of all of the names God changed in the bible. Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Paul etc…
If names don’t matter then why won’t most men take their wife’s maiden name when they marry?
If names don’t matter what man would allow his wife to keep her ex-husbands last name?
If names don’t matter, then why is it important for us to be called by our name correctly?
Don’t you prefer being called by your own name?
Mary and Joseph were commanded to name Mary’s son Jesus, Yeshua, because He will save his people from their sins (Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua all mean Savior, God Saves or God, Yahweh is salvation, but that is a different discussion).
Names matter!
Using the name of another goddess to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and convincing Christians to defile his worship with symbols of her worship is blasphemy, and it is in direct rebellion to what God commanded us NOT to do (Joshua 23:7).
In fact, when you think about it, calling it EASTER Sunday is no different from calling it, Mohammed Sunday or Buddha Sunday.
Let me be clear.
I think it’s a wonderful thing to celebrate His death, burial and resurrection, but we must do it in Spirit and Truth.
Call it Resurrection Day, Resurrection Celebration, Jesus Lives Day you don’t even HAVE to celebrate it at all…but please let’s STOP calling it Easter.
Because names matter to us, and they matter to God.
Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
