If Jesus died for sin, Why can't I live how I want


 Many people have this question. I once asked this question out of ignorance. I never truly understood this until I did a study of my own. People had tried to explain to me but I just never fully understood. In my experience it was taught with fear of going to hell so don't sin with a list of things you can't do. Now that I understand I don't serve God because of fear, I serve him because I love him. I love him because he first loved me. I know that without God sending his son I would be unhappy, insecure, no hope, and unfulfilled in life. I would be walking around in darkness with no direction constantly bumping into walls. I understand that as a believer in Christ my wants should now line up with God's purpose for my life.

What is sin and why is it here? 

Sin is an act of transgression against God's divine law. God is Holy, no bad, dark, wicked, or unrighteousness is in him. Sin is going against God's moral code. The Bible tells us that in the beginning God made Adam and Eve. The first humans on this earth. There was a place called Eden and there was a garden there. There were many trees I believe but the Bible speaks of two specific trees, one had the power to give life continually and one the power to take life spiritually and physically. God instructed Adam not to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:15-17 1And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. During this time Adam and Eve only knew about Good/Righteousness because they only new the things of God. God never intended for mankind to know or experience anything bad, evil or dark. Nevertheless, he didn't make robots. You may say why was the tree there? I believe to give mankind a choice to choose their creator over the created. Long story short satan came in the garden and tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden tree by decieving her. She ate and gave Adam some to eat. Since Adam is the first of mankind sin came in the world through him when he disobeyed God. Every human after Adam is descendants of him. Therefore every human is born in bondage to sin. This means we will automatically have sinful desires until we are born again through the Jesus Christ. We are born with a disposition to sin.
Remember I said God is Holy and sin is unholy so sin seperated Adam and Eve from God. This means sin separated us from God. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Remember God told Adam "the day you eat of that tree, you will surely die." The penalty for sin is death physically and spiritually. Just think the bad things people do end in destruction. It's fun in the beginning, it feels good in the beginning but once it has you in it's grips the fun end and the consequences come knocking. The good feeling is gone. You never get to the point where you are fulfilled. You always feel like something is missing, there has to be more. That feeling is telling you that you are in darkness seperated from your creator. Your spirit is yearning for God but because you're in darkness you don't know it. Nevertheless, no matter how crazy our decision making is/was God loves us. It broke his heart the day he had to seperate himself from his creation. On that day we became enemies to God. BUT! God had a solution. He knew that no matter how many sacrifices we offered we couldn't save ourselves from sin. Knowing what sin was just made it more tempting. Just think you don't really like sweets like that,  but soon as you start a diet you want sweets. When you're told you can't have something you want it more until your thinking is transformed. So God sent a perfect sacrifice to free us from the dispostion to sin. He sent a way to bring us out of darkness into his marvelous light where we belong. He sent us a way to be able to choose him, because our oppurtunity of choice was taken. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Through the death, burial and ressurection of Christ we now have an chance to live a life eternal with God. Once we repent (turn from sinful desires in your heart), be baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit we become a new creature. 2 Corinthians 5:17  17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. We were made for God's purpose and pleasure. We were made to fulfil his will. God wants the best for us literally. The best is not necessarily the most expensive things that we think about. God does allow us to get those things from our hard work, but he really doesn't care about that. His best is for us to have hope, a future and an expected end. Before choosing Christ we are born with a future of Hell, fire and brimstone. This is not because God is mean, it's because this is the punishment for sin. God keeps his word and stay true to his moral code. We change our minds and actions all the time, God doesn't. He is exact. Since God knew that was our end he sent a way of escape. He paid for our salvation with the blood of his son. God didn't give us sinful desires, satan did by decieving Eve. Jesus didn't die so you could do what you want. He didn't die so that you could live in sin freely, you was already doing that. He died so that you could live the life God intended for you from the beginning of Creation. Jesus look on the sins of the world so we could live an everlasting life with him instead of in Hell. 

Back to the question at hand. 

You are not already forgiven. 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we confess our sins, repent (turn from them) and except his son, then God will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Romans 10:9-10That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
The choice you have to make. Do you want to live in bondage to satan and sin? No man has two masters, it's either God or satan. The only way to God is through Jesus because sin seperated us. If we don't believe in Jesus and follow his commandments we are enemies to God. When we live in sin we choose satan as our master by default. Nevertheless, if you want to be saved from eternal damnation and disposition to live a sinful life, THERES NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT. God knows everything you''ve done and still loves you. He is waiting to be reunited with you. It brings him joy at the thought of you choosing him. Ask God to forgive you of your sins, call them out by name. He already knows, turn from your wicked ways. Accept Jesus as your personal savior, Believe in your heart and Confess with your mouth and you will be saved. If you don't have a place of worship that you attend you are more than welcome to contact me. I will give you the number to my overseers so that you can get baptised. We meet on line every Thursday.  God loves you, Jesus died for you and now you can make the most important decision of your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

ID2020 Alliance: Are we Close to a Cashless Society?

God never ceases to amaze me, up until about a week ago I'd never heard of ID2020. This made me think " how many other people have never heard of this?" This is very important for the believer to know and I'll tell you why shortly. The way God works with me is by leading me to topics to research. Then he unravels it for me with scripture to show me it's importance. What is ID2020 you ask? ID2020 is SDG 16.9 of the SDG30 goals. SDG (Substainable Development Goals) goals were decided by the United Nations member states. In 2015 at a Summit it was a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and secure that all people will enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Don't let the language fool you. It sounds good, but I'll do a blog about that at a later time. ID2020 is digital global identification. The process is to put a chip in your hand through a vaccine/needle. The chip is so small it can be inserted through hyperdermic needles. This can be used for cash, identity and even locking and unlocking doors.

Why Language is Important 

I'm a 5th grade teacher and I always tell my students "Pay attention to the Language used, what are they saying?" I'm going to tell you the: Who, When, Why, What, Where and How. Then after, you make your decision if it is important for believers to be aware of this.

Who are the key players in this initiative? Dakota Gruener of Gavi: The Vaccine Alliance, is the executive director of ID2020. The Rockefellow Foundation provided seed money in 2017 to get it started is an ongoing supporter. Microsoft (Bill Gates) joined in 2018 as a founding partner and it's members sit on the board as technical and program delivery advisory committee. Accenture joined in 2017 as a founding partner and participates on the executive board and Technical Advisory Committee. IDEO who is an international consulting firm that designs products, services and experiences to improve poor people lives. They are the Program Delivery and ecosystem Advocacy Advisory Committee.  I know this is the boring part lol, but just hang in there. The Bible says in Hosea 4:6a My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee. When God says knowledge his Word always comes first, then he also instructs us to be watchful, which is where this boring information comes in :)

Why are they doing this? This is their reasoning for the public. To give legal idenity to all, there are 1.5 billion who don't have legal identification (they say). This means those 1.5 billion can't get a bank account which is social exclusion. They care about everyone so much that they must come up with a way for everyone to be included. Digital Idenity will leave no one behind. First of all if they don't have money for identification, where are they going to get money to open up a bank account or buy a new car? This doesn't add up. The Truth is the United Nations wants to have eyes on everyone in the world to make sure people comply with their global goals. It's similar to inserting animals with digital identification to keep tabs on them. This will enable them to look you up at anytime in the system. 

When are they doing this? Their goal was to know that they had proof of scale by 2020 with help of the top people I named above. There are other partners, but those are the top people. According to Gruener of Gavi "paper based services are not working anymore"... "we need digital idenity thats portable and persistent." Their goal is to have legal digital idenity for all ages (everyone on the planet) by 2030. All ages means that your children will have a digital ID possibly at birth. Gruener words in an interview "it's not an if, it's when" which means it's coming for sure and is already being used in some places. My question: Are you prepared?  Revelation 13:16-17 says
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. I don't know if it the mark of the beast, but I know the one who knows all things, God. We will definitely need his wisdom, guidance, and leadership through what's coming down the pipeline. 
As you can see with the pictures above, the plan is to leave no stone unturned. Every facet of life according to the United Nations by 2030 will be one unified global system. Let me give you an idea of what we're facing. One goal is "Gender Equality" where all genders have to be accepted, identified the way they desire, treated fairly, and have a life of sexual freedom. According to ABC News there are 58 gender options that Facebook has for it's users. Wait! I thought it was only two: Male and Female. First let me say their sexual freedom is their business. I don't condemn them, I pray that their souls are saved. I love all people. I don't see their sin greater or less than anyone else. Nevertheless, identifying them any other way then what they are isn't an option for a believer. Genesis 1:27 says:  

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  A believer must speak the word of God and not the world. I'll give you another example: Another goal is to promote peaceful inclusive societies. This may sound good also but as you dig into it you will see why it's not good for the believer. Inclusive society means all religions will have to be inclusive and peaceful. That's fine for religion, but being a disciple of Christ isn't a religion which is merely a belief system. Jesus is the truth, he has no beginning and ending of days. Everything was created through him. Without him nothing was made. God is the source of all things and we follow our father who created us. Therefore we can't be inclusive. God so loved the world that he sent his son to die so they/ we could have an option to choose righteousness over sin. This means we can't conform to the world and it's systems if it's contrary to the word of God. The Bible says: John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. This is just two examples out of many as to why we can't serve this Global system of SDG30. Now back to the digital idenity. According to Carl Sanders who helped create this microchip, it works best placed in the right hand or beneath the hairline in the forehead. Does that sound familiar? It was highlighted above.

In Swedan this is already happening. Thousands of Swedan people are trading ID cards for microchips according to World Economic Forum website. Swedan is also close to being a cashless society. Why is this important to you? Because it will soon be here and we will have to make a decision. Because we didn't obey the Bible when God said be watchful and pray, so many things have been done in the dark without our knowing. Now it's at our door step knocking. Will you answer and invite it in? This is one of many things that we will have to face as believers and stay rooted in Jesus. The time of being comfortable in the grey area is over. Now you will either be hot or cold. God doesn't deal with the lukewarm, in fact he spews them from his mouth.  
Image result for be watchful and pray We must wake out of our slumber. Reading the Word of God is what lets us know what is good and evil. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is how we are led, taught and warned, etc. Praying is how we communicate and hear from God. Fasting is how we put our flesh under subjection to the spirit of God. God is calling for repentance from his people. We can no longer just stand on the sidelines watching lost souls and doing nothing about it. We are held responsible. We know better, but what about the people in the world that are waiting for you and me so that they can choose Jesus. It is time to open our mouths and speak the truth, the bitter with the sweet. The sweet can get you through some things but the bitter is what will help believers stand through what's coming.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-eUjfDUWCE&t=566s

When Did It Become Cool To Worship The Devil

 I've been noticing a rise in the "I'm with satan" culture. Many music artists are making videos dressed in satan garb. Ma...
