The prince is not the King

Jesus said twice, recorded first in the gospel of Matthew as speaking from the first person that he will in fact deny some, and then in the gospel of Luke, in the form of a parable using the master of a house who won't let strangers in in the middle of the night.

I contemplated my goal as a missionary of The Most High, if some will without question be turned away from the Kingdom of God, then why would I use my energy to prophesy repentance and to encourage those of the hope that is there for us to partake in? Then I remembered all of the people over the years, who alleviated my sunken spirit, simply by speaking the truth - that there WILL be relief. That relief might come by the end of the hour, the day, the year, or a lifetime, but this degenerate world is by far not all that there is.

It is easy to become despondent when the prince of this world rules it with an iron first, but we forget so readily that the King of this world in truth is still the True One in charge - He calls the final shots, and He is always ready to heed to petitions, while His Father is ready to balance the scales with speed for those who believe and trust in Love and Justice.

If you are someone who worries that Jesus will turn you away on the last day, fear not. There is always someone praying for you, whether you know it or not - the Church's greatest strength is praying for ALL people,. The saved are empowered to successfully petition for anyone. We know this to be true when Apostle Paul taught that we can in fact rescue others.

Make no mistake about it. In this captured world of poverty and violence, New Age desperate attempts to claim its way out of the mayhem and pain is bogus, and it is dangerous. It robs us of power by scattering our focus and energy. Our mission is to not to escape our hardship, it is to meet with it shielded with courage and grace, and let it be known that it holds no power over us. We do not fight to support ourselves - this is NOT a war of flesh, nor is it a war of terrorism or of the middle-class. Our fight is on a spiritual battleground, and being deceived of this is the enemy's most clever ploy.

The answer is not in running away from pain, it is marching toward it. There are trained soldiers here to walk ahead and clear a path. But we are not secretive, which means we will not seek you - you must seek us. Then we will guide you gladly. I am at your service.
