HAVE YOU OVERCOME THE WORLD?

This is the most important question we can ask,

Because only those who Overcome this World

Have the Right to eat from The Tree of LIFE,

Which is in the Paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)

Overcoming the World and Satan who Rules it [1 John 5:19],

Is the Object of our Faith.

In the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches

Christ Jesus says to all of them:

Only to him who Overcomes

Will the Right to Paradise be granted. (Revelation 2-3)

They Overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb

And the Word of their Testimony;

Not loving this life so much as to Shrink from Death.

(Revelation 12:11)

Since the Fall of Adam and Eve Satan has Ruled this Wicked World.

The Kingdoms of the World were given to Satan by God Almighty.

(Luke 4:6)

That is why the apostle Peter on The Day of Pentecost did this:

And [Peter] Solemnly and Earnestly Witnessed (testified)

And Admonished (exhorted) With much more continuous speaking

And warned (reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying,

BE SAVED FROM THIS CROOKED

(PERVERSE, WICKED, UNJUST) GENERATION.

(Acts 2:40, AMP)

The Generation we are living in

Is just as Crooked, Perverse, Wicked and Unjust as that of Peter's Day.

Listen to the apostle Paul:

And those who deal with this World--

Over-using the Enjoyments of this life--

Let them live as though they were not Absorbed by it,

And as if they had No Dealings with it,

FOR THE OUTWARD FORM OF THIS WORLD--

THE PRESENT WORLD ORDER—IS PASSING AWAY.

(1 Corinthians 7:31, AMP)

Understand that God Almighty has give a Limited amount of Time

For this World, in its present form, to Exist.

And that Time is nearly Over,

And will be Entirely Over at the Return of Christ Jesus.

Listen to the apostle Peter admonish the Saints:

Dear Friends, I Urge you, as Aliens and Strangers in the World,

To Abstain from Sinful Desires,

Which War against your soul.

Live such good lives among the Pagans

That, though they accuse you of doing Wrong,

They may see your Good Deeds

And Glorify God on The Day He visits us.

(1 Peter 2:11, 12)

Today we live in a Pagan Society just as Peter did.

A Society in Overt Rebellion against God and His Word.

Listen to King David:

Here my prayer, O' Lord,

Listen to my cry for help;

Be not deaf to my weeping.

FOR I DWELL WITH YOU AS AN ALIEN, A STRANGER,

As all my fathers were.

(Psalm 39:12)

Listen to the apostle Paul:

I Urge you brothers, in view of God's Mercy,

TO OFFER YOUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES,

Holy and Pleasing to God--

Which is your Spiritual Worship.

DO NOT CONFORM ANY LONGER TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD,

But be Transformed by the Renewing of your mind.

Then you will be able to Test and Approve what God's Will is--

His Good, Pleasing and Perfect Will.

(Romans 12:1, 2)

Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,

And do not think about how to Gratify the Desires of the Sinful Nature.

(Romans 13:14)

SO I SAY, LIVE BY THE SPIRIT,

And you will not gratify the Desires of the Sinful Nature.

For the Sinful Nature Desires what is Contrary to the Spirit,

And the Spirit what is Contrary to the Sinful Nature.

THEY ARE IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER,

So that you do not do what you want.

But if you are Led by the Spirit you are not under the Law.

The Acts of the Sinful Nature are Obvious:

Sexual Immorality, Impurity and Debauchery;

Idolatry and Witchcraft; Hatred, Discord, Jealousy, Fits of Rage,

Selfish Ambition, Dissensions, Factions and Envy;

Drunkenness, Orgies and the like.

I WARN YOU AS I DID BEFORE,

THAT THOSE WHO LIVE LIKE THIS

WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

But the Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness

Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.

AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW.

THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS

Have Crucified the Sinful Nature with its Passions and Desires.

Since we live by the Spirit,

Let us keep in Step with the Spirit.

Let us not become Conceited, Provoking and Envying each other.

(Galatians 5:16-26)

Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
