Been thinking of when Jesus was sharing with His disciples at the last supper, of what was about to take place, knowing His time was coming.....particularly when Jesus said to Peter on this day before the cock crows you will denigh my thrice .... (matt.26:34) Peter was so sure He would never denigh Jesus....but as we read Matthew 26 near the end we see Peter did denigh Christ 3 times (Matt. 26:69-75) ...then I get the thinking about the mark of the beast when it comes about when that day comes many will be made to take the mark and to denigh Jesus ........ If Peter was soooo devoted to Jesus but yet he still denighed Him 3 times...... who will stand on that day when they are faced with a life death choice...take the mark and denigh Jesus and live or refuse the mark and stand for Jesus and be killed......
Many will say we will worry about that when the time comes...or it won't happen in our life time......and others like myself NO I WILL NEVER DENIGH JESUS... I WILL NEVER TAKE THE MARK!! The thing is, we may be closer then what most think to that day......and even though many of us Christians are soo determined we will never take the mark......but in reality when faced with that choice.....how many will really stand....How many will even be awake Spiritually during that time many will be fooled as well and believe in a lie..........It all depends on How is yourrelationship with God...How often are you spending time in Gods Word and in prayer??? You may think you know Him.....but in reality do you talk with Him on a dailey basis?
You see Peter had a second chance.....and later on became one of the most powerful Apostles used by God.....but when it comes to the time to accept or not the mark of the beast and the ones who decide to take it there is no second chance.... There is a lot of speculation on how this will all turn out, a newtheory comes out each day. But you can be sure of this...ANYONE who gets the mark of the beast 666 is DOOMED! There is NO turning back, NO forgiveness, NO 2nd chances, NO redemption, No salvation! There is no hoping that, "God will understand, He'll forgive me for taking the mark, He's merciful and He doesn't want me to lose my life. I don't have to worry, I can still be saved, right?" WRONG!!!! Read Rev.14:9-11 ....Will have it at bottom of this note.
And for us who areChristian when we are truly faced with the choice will we stand? Some will..... but some won't....The thing is and my point is if some of you can't seem to let your light shine in this day and age..... and decide to hide it under a bushel instead..... anotherwards keep it to yourself...or be ashamed because your afraid what your friends will think or your family or just other people in general then how will you stand on the day that your told to denigh Jesus or die ?
If your scared to talk to someone about the Gospel and tell them about Jesus or just to let people know you live for God by how you live....either it be by words or actions now while its easy... or when pure pressure is being thrown at you by your friends, family or co workers and you can't stand up for whats right in Jesus.....then what will happen if you are faced with denigh Jesus or die.....what would you do if you can't buy or sell unless you get the mark...will you cave in from the pressure or will you have Faith in God and live up to the words you say "I LOVE YOU JESUS" Some will be killed for His names sake..........Jesus tells us this ....but it also says some will endure till the end. He also says we will be hated.......will you cave in to robbing food to feed your family or will you trust God and know He will provide....even during that time it will still be wrong to steal.......Guess in reality we really won't know until we are faced with it..... I guessitmainlydepends on our walk with God....Hows your relationship with God? During that moment of Truth we will either stand and trust God or cave in because of fear and lack of Faith and denigh Christ.....Are you scared to die for Your Love of Christ?
2nd Timothy 1:7 " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"
I bring out this question, and lets be honest.......If you can't stand for Jesus now when its easy to......then how will you stand for Jesus during the moment of truth? When your physical life is on the line..... It will divide the ones who know Jesus personally from the ones who know about Jesus.... It will be the moment of Truth, you see so many base what they believe off of what they are told and what they accept, but very few will actually have such a Love for God and His Word they will know Him because they will be prayfully minded, they will know and study the word of God...... Many say and claim they are a Christian because they believe in God..... But yet many who even says they Love God truly don't live for God, they are more worldly then Godly, their life is more of an abomination to God instead of a life pleasing to God.....
You see we cant serve 2 masters. Many play the role but don't live life, they talk the talk but don't walk the walk.....they claim they know Jesus personally but yet don't say one word to Him, wheres the prayer life? Some can't remember when they read the Bible last....... Who will stand that day.....the ones who have a relationship with Christ the ones who have a Love for the Word the ones who pray and study and live a life according to Gods ways...... The ones who truly know Him.....and are not ashamed and openly Live for God....you see on that day when we are face to face with Jesus there is many who will think they were living a life pleasing to God....but yet Jesus still will say I know you not depart from me worker of iniquity......
Matthew 7:21-23
Are you one who is seeking the face of God ? Are you one who is prayerfully studying the word of God...... Are you standing upon the scriptures or you fooled by many traditions of man and teachings are you so full of pride that even when scripture tells you what we must do you refuse to obey, will you be one of many who will be lead to hell thinking your on the right road to heaven because you want to trust others with your salvation and be too lazy to study things out on your own to make sure what your taught is correct.......many even when showed scripture refuse to listen and decide to ignore the Word of God. Many choose the teachings of people leading them astray and believe them rather then the scriptures itself...... Lord I pray give us all a Love for your word a Love to pray and seek your face....
Make sure what you believe isn't what your told to believe......believe it because you know its Truth and you can only do that by not being lazy in your study and study the Word of God yourself..... you owe it to yourself to make sure you on the strait and narrow path.....because in the end either we go to Heaven or hell the decision is up to ourselves.
2nd Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth.
Revelation 13:12-18
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14:9-11
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
