Count It All Joy!

Song Devotional

Beloved, trials are never ever easy, but our Heavenly Father calls His blood-bought children to see them through the eyes of faith and to focus on His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS integrity and sovereignty for His good working in us (Phil. 2:13).

James tells us, "Count it all joy...when you meet trials of various kinds." Our joy is not in the trial itself, but in knowing that our loving Heavenly Father is using it to grow our faith, strengthen our character, and make us more like Jesus Christ.

As we cling to our Heavenly Father's ETERNAL promises, our hearts begin to burst into melody even in the fire. We know through past experiences that He has not abandoned us, that He is always with us, discipling us through every fiery trial and faithfully working all things together for good for those who love Him in Spirit and Truth (Romans 8:28).

Like gold refined by fire, our Precious Heavenly Father uses trials to purify our faith and deepen our dependence upon Him. Every tear, every struggle, and every hardship is held in the hands of our ETERNAL sovereign Shepherd, who is completing the good work He began in us (Philippians 1:6).

When the fire has accomplished our Heavenly Father's purpose, we will look back with exceeding joy and say, "The Lord was with me every step of the way." What once seemed impossible becomes another testimony of His faithfulness, and our hearts can fully and truly count it all joy!

Reflection Questions

Am I looking at my trials through my circumstances or through my Heavenly Father's promises and working?
How might my Heavenly Father be using this season in my pilgrim journey to strengthen my faith and make me more like His dear precious Son?
Can I already see ways my Heavenly Father has used past fiery trials for my good, growth, and His ETERNAL glory?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for never leaving me in the midst of life's trials. Help me to trust that You are working even when I cannot see what You are doing. Strengthen my faith to stand on Your ETERNAL promises and to rejoice in Your perfect ETERNAL plan for my life.

Use every trial to purify my heart, deepen my love for You, teach me in the ways of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and conform me to the image of Your dear and precious Son. Fill my heart with songs of praise, knowing that all things are working together for Your glory and my ETERNAL good.

Teach me, dear Lord, to walk by faith until Your work is complete, so that my life may testify that You were faithful through every fire. Receive the glory in all of this.

I ask these things in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

My Precious Lord

Devotional

Beloved, the ETERNAL greatest gift God has ever given us is not simply His blessings; it is His Beloved, precious Son, where all ETERNAL fullness, glory, wisdom, power, grace, and blessing are found in RIGHTEOUSNESS.

As we walk with precious Jesus each day, His Word becomes more and more precious because it reveals the beauty of His heart, His faithfulness, and His EVERLASTING agape love. Like the psalmist, as we learn to delight in His Word and apply it in our pilgrim lives, we come to personally know and experience our precious Lord's heart more intimately and deeply (Psalm 119).

Our Good and Faithful Shepherd never withholds what is truly good for His children. He lovingly gives us grace for today, strength for every trial, wisdom for every decision, and hope for every tomorrow. Above all, He has freely given Himself to us to be our precious treasure and heart's desire and love.

The more we abide in Christ, the more we discover that He is our greatest treasure. His presence alone satisfies our weary hearts far more than anything this world can ever offer.

My Precious Lord is more than a song; it is the joyful confession of a surrendered abiding heart that has found its greatest delight in Jesus Christ, their Lord and Savior.

Psalm 119:9–16, 97–105
Psalm 84:11
Romans 8:32

Philippians 3:7–10
Colossians 2:2–3
James 1:17

Reflection Questions

Is Jesus Himself my greatest treasure, or have I become more focused on His blessings and gifts than on Him?
How has God's Word helped me know and love my precious Lord more deeply?
What good thing has God faithfully provided in my life that reminds me of His agape love and tender personal care?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me Your precious Beloved Son. Thank You for Your precious Word, which reveals Your ETERNAL loving heart and patiently teaches me to know, trust, and love You more and more each day. Help me, dear Lord, to delight in You above everything else and to treasure Your presence more than the passing things of this fallen, dying world of ETERNAL vanity.

Thank You for being my faithful, precious Shepherd who never withholds what is truly good from me. Continue to disciple my heart, strengthen my faith, and help me abide in Your agape love. May my life continually declare that You, Lord Jesus, are my greatest treasure.

In the precious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Amen.

Slayer of Giants

Devotional

Beloved, it is no secret that this pilgrim life is filled with many giants. We face trials, temptations, fears, suffering, loss, and spiritual battles that seem far greater than our own strength. Yet the Bible continually reminds us that our hope is never to be found in ourselves, beloved; it is ONLY to be found in Almighty God, our Slayer of Giants.

The same God who delivered David from Goliath is still the ETERNAL Slayer of Giants. He is the ETERNAL Lord of Hosts (Armies), our ETERNAL refuge, our ETERNAL strength, and our precious faithful Shepherd who lives in us and walks with us through every battle that this pilgrim life throws at us. His ETERNAL presence gives us great confidence and courage because He has promised to NEVER leave us nor forsake us.

The greatest giants humanity has ever faced are sin, death, the grave, and Satan. Through His cross and glorious resurrection, Jesus Christ absolutely conquered them all FOREVER. He is the Mighty Conquering Savior and lover of our souls. Beloved, he is our victorious Lord and King who reigns ETERNALLY in all power and might, who can stand before Him. Because we are in Christ, we can face every trial by faith, knowing that nothing is greater than our God. He ETERNALLY stands alone victorious and uncontested.

Whatever giant stands before you today, remember that it stands before Almighty God first. He is working through every battle to strengthen your faith, display His glory, and draw you closer to Himself in His perfect agape love.

Our confidence is not in the size of our faith, but in the greatness of our God.

He is our ETERNAL Slayer of Giants, our ETERNAL Deliverer, our ETERNAL Defender, and the Savior of our souls. Beloved, how wonderful is that!

Reflection Questions

What "giant" am I facing today, and have I entrusted it to my Slayer of Giants?
How does remembering Jesus’ ETERNAL victory over sin, death, and Satan strengthen my faith during life's battles?
Am I focusing more on the size of my problems or on the greatness of my God?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being my ETERNAL Slayer of Giants. Thank You that no battle is too great for You and no trial is beyond Your ETERNAL sovereign care. Help me, precious Savior, to keep my eyes on Your ETERNAL greatness rather than on the giants before me that scare and frighten me.

Strengthen my faith to trust Your ETERNAL promises, walk in Your ETERNAL presence, and rest in Your perfect ETERNAL will. Thank You that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, You have destroyed, obliterated, and conquered sin, death, and Satan FOREVER.

As I abide in You, continue to disciple and quiet my heart and remind me that You are ALWAYS with me. May my life boldly proclaim that You alone are my Deliverer, my Defender, my Slayer of Giants and the ETERNAL Savior of my soul.

In the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Fishers of Men - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotion

Fishers of Men

Song Devotional

When Jesus called Peter and Andrew, He gave them a simple invitation:

"Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." (Mark 1:17)

They left their nets and followed the Good Shepherd. From that day on, Jesus discipled them, transformed them, worked through them, and used them to proclaim His ETERNAL Gospel for His ETERNAL glory to a lost and dying world.

That same call is for every blood-bought believer today in Jesus Christ.

When we trust Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are called not only to believe in Him but to follow Him wholeheartedly for His ETERNAL glory and honor. As we abide in Christ, He faithfully shapes our hearts and leads us by His Spirit and His Word in His chosen paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS for His Great Name's sake. Beloved, Jesus' abiding presence is always with us as we share the ETERNAL hope of the cross, which the world calls foolish, and Jesus' RIGHTEOUSNESS completed work on it, which they so ETERNALLY desperately need.

Almighty God delights in using ordinary people who have surrendered their lives to Him for His ETERNAL honor and glory. Our strength is not enough, but His grace and power working through us make us useful vessels for His kingdom. As we walk and abide with Him, we will see how precious He truly is and the wonders of His foolish cross that he has called us to proclaim to this deceived and dying lost world.

The question is simple, my beloved:

Will you leave your nets and follow Jesus? Not as easy as it is asked, is it?

Many today in our last-days world call themselves Christians, but beloved, Jesus calls us to be His learners, under His Yoke, crucified, abiding disciples who trust Him whole heartedly, obey Him fully, and follow Him wherever He leads. God help us, dear friends. As we walk with our Faithful and Good Shepherd, He makes us faithful fishers of men in His grace and mercy for His ETERNAL glory. There is no greater calling in all ETERNITY, my beloved. May it be so for all of the redeemed.

Mark 1:16–20

Reflection Questions

What "nets" is Jesus asking me to leave behind so I can follow Him more completely and fully?
Am I simply a believer, or am I actively following Jesus as my Lord and His faithful disciple?
Who has God placed in my life to share the hope of His ETERNAL Gospel with this week?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for calling me to follow Your Beloved Son. Help me to trust You enough to leave behind anything that keeps me from wholehearted obedience and following You throughout this pilgrim journey. Continue to disciple my heart and make me a faithful fisher of men. Fill me with Your grace, courage, and agape love as I share the ETERNAL Gospel with the lost. May my life be a vessel that brings ETERNAL glory to You until the day I see You face to face.

In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Victory in the Fray - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotion

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:44:45 +0000

Victory in the Fray

Song Devotional

Beloved, every child of God faces battles in this pilgrim life. We experience spiritual warfare, trials, suffering, disappointments, and the floods of life. Yet Almighty God's Word consistently reminds us that our victory is not determined by our circumstances; it is determined by our position in Jesus Christ.

The New Testament repeatedly speaks of God's blood-bought children being "in Christ." It is mentioned some 180 times! Beloved, that is absolutely astounding and should speak volumes to our hearts about our position in our victorious Jesus. Through faith, we have been united with Him, raised with Him, and seated with Him in the heavenly places (Psalm 110:1, Ephesians 2:6, Col. 3:1-4). Because we belong to Christ, we do not fight for victory; we fight from the victory, for He is our ETERNAL Victory! He has ETERNALLY already won and has destroyed all opponents at the cross (John 19:30).

Almighty God has not called us to be Satan's slaves of fear or for us to live as cowards and victims of this fallen world. No beloved! Our ETERNAL Victor has called us out of this world to live victoriously in Him as Jesus' ETERNAL victors for His ETERNAL honor and glory!

Beloved, our strength is not found in ourselves, God forbid! Our strength and power are found alone in the Lord of Hosts and in the ETERNAL power of His might (Ephesians 3:20-21; 6:10-20). Our dear Lord lovingly equips us with the whole armor of God so that we can stand firm against the enemy's attacks. He has provided us the fruit of His Spirit that we in the fray may reflect and manifest His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS attributes as well. As we trust His promises, abide in His Word, and walk by faith, He strengthens us to overcome every battle for His honor and glory.

The world tells us to define ourselves by our failures, fears, and problems. Almighty God's Word tells us to define ourselves by who we are in Christ.

When fear comes, remember His promises!

When temptation comes, stand in His strength!

When suffering comes, trust His faithfulness!

When the battle grows fierce, remember that "He who is in you is ETERNALLY greater than he who is in the doomed, condemned, fallen world." (1 John 4:4)

Our ETERNAL victory rests in Jesus Christ alone, my beloved. One day every battle will end, one day every tear will be wiped away, and one day we will stand with our victorious precious Savior and reign with Him FOREVERMORE. Until that day, we press on in faith, we hold the fort, we fight the good fight, we gird up our lions, we cowboy up, we play the man, for we are clothed in His armor, resting in His amazing grace, and continually rejoicing that "this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith in our ETERNAL Victor." (1 John 5:4)

No matter what battle you face today, beloved, lift your eyes to Christ. Your identity is not found in your problems but in God’s ETERNAL promises for you in Christ. You are His beloved child, and in Him you have Victory in the Fray!

Reflection Questions

Am I defining my identity by my circumstances, or by who I am in Christ?
Which promise of God do I need to stand on in the battle I am facing today?
How can I daily "put on the whole armor of God" and trust Christ's strength instead of my own?
In what area is God calling me to move from fear to faith, remembering that my ETERNAL victory is already secure in Jesus?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You that my victory is found in Jesus Christ and not in my own strength. Thank You that You have united me with Your own dear precious Son, who has seated me with Him at the Right Hand of God the Father, and filled my pilgrim life with Your amazing grace, mercy, and power.

When the battles of life come, help me to remember who I am in Christ. Teach me to put on the whole armor of God each day, to stand on Your promises, and to walk by faith instead of fear. Guard my heart from believing the world's lies, and remind me that my identity is found in Your unchanging agape love and unchangeable truth.

Lord Jesus, thank You for defeating sin, death, and Satan through Your cross and resurrection. Strengthen me through Your Holy Spirit to remain faithful until the day I see You face to face. May my life reflect the confidence, peace, and hope of one who already shares in Your ETERNAL victory.

Help me live today, not as a victim, but as Your faithful disciple and victor, bringing glory to Your wonderful name.

In the victorious, precious name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

There's a Voice - Song Devotion

Devotional

Beloved, throughout every season of this pilgrim life, there is a still small voice calling to our hearts and leading us ever home to be FOREVER to be with our precious Jesus.

In a world filled with noise, uncertainty, fear, and countless competing voices, there is One voice that never changes, the precious voice of our Good and Faithful Shepherd.

Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27)

His voice is not harsh or distant. It is tender, faithful, and full of truth. He lovingly calls His children to trust Him, follow Him, take His yoke and rest in His tender, all-knowing care. Like a shepherd leading his sheep beside still waters and through dark valleys, He continually guides us with perfect wisdom and unwavering agape love (Psalm 23).

Beloved, as His blood-bought believers, we are not walking through this pilgrim life alone. We are continually united with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). From that secure position of grace, our Faithful Shepherd is continually discipling our hearts through His Word and by His Holy Spirit, conforming us into His image until He comes (Romans 8:29; Philippians 2:13).

When fear whispers, His voice says,
"Fear not."

When uncertainty surrounds us, His voice says,
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart." (Proverbs 3:5–6)

When we feel weak, His voice reminds us,
"Be strong and courageous...for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

When we wonder if we are alone, His promise remains,
"I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)

The Christian discipleship life is not merely following rules; it is walking daily with our faithful Shepherd who knows every need before we can ever do. As we abide in Jesus, His gentle voice continually shapes our thoughts, our desires, and our steps. He is our precious and faithful Potter, and we are His redeemed clay. His agape-loving discipline, encouragement, and guidance are all expressions of His faithful Shepherd's heart. Be not afraid, be strong and of good courage and follow Him!

There truly is a Voice.

It is His voice that called us to salvation.
It is His voice that comforts us in sorrow.
It is His voice that corrects us in love.
It is His voice that leads us in righteousness.
It is His voice that one day will call us home.

May we quiet our hearts, open His Word, and joyfully follow wherever our Good and Faithful Shepherd leads. Beloved, do you know His precious promises? Can you hear His tender, calm voice? Be not afraid, be of good courage and follow Him.

Philippians 2:12–13
Romans 8:28–29
Hebrews 13:20–21
Matthew 28:20

Reflection Questions

What voices compete for my attention, and how can I better recognize and respond to the voice of my Good Shepherd through His Word?
How does remembering that I am seated with Christ give me confidence to trust His leading instead of giving in to fear or anxiety?
In what area of my life is Jesus tenderly calling me today to trust Him more fully, abide more closely, and faithfully follow where He leads?
Whose voice am I truly listening to and following today? This high-tech last days world or our precious Savior’s, who agape loved me and gave His life for me.

"There's a Voice." It is the voice of the Good Shepherd—the ETERNAL Son of God—who lovingly calls His sheep to abide in Him, trust His heart, walk in His ways, and rest in the unchanging promise that He is with us always.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help me, dear Lord, to hear Your still small voice in all my ways; lead me in Your paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS for Your great Name's sake and for Your ETERNAL glory. Thank you that You are my Faithful Good Shepherd, Lord Jesus; I agape love You and look for Your return daily,

In Your precious Name, Lord Jesus, I ask these things. Amen

What Man Is This? Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotion

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 23:57:36 +0000

What Man Is This?

Devotional

"What man is this?" That question echoes through the darkest day in human history. Who is this Man who willingly bears the cross? Who is this Man who suffers though He is innocent? Who is this Man whom heaven and earth seem to mourn?

The answer is not one of pity, but of worship.

This is Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, the spotless Lamb, who laid down His life willingly for you and me (John 10:17–18). He did not die because evil overpowered Him. He died because of His ETERNAL love and God's perfect plan of redemption (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

As darkness covered the land and hope seemed buried in the tomb, it appeared that death had won. The disciples were scattered. The world was silent. Yet God was accomplishing His greatest victory.

On the third day, Jesus Christ rose from the grave! Death was conquered. Sin was defeated. Satan's power was broken. The tomb could not hold the Author of Life (Acts 2:24). He is alive FOREVERMORE and holds the keys of death and Hades (Revelation 1:17–18).

So when we ask, "What Man is this?" Scripture gives a glorious answer:

He is the ETERNAL Son of God.

He is the Lamb who was slain.
He is the risen Savior.
He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
He is alive FOREVERMORE!

Beloved, Jesus our propitiatory Lamb went to the cross not because He had to, but because He so agape loved us with an EVERLASTING agape love. His resurrection from Sheol and the grave assures all who believe in Him all the promises in Him are Yes and Amen! That ETERNAL forgiveness, ETERNAL life, and our blessed hope are all found in His Person and work alone.

Key Scriptures

Isaiah 53:4–6
John 3:16–17
John 10:17–18
Romans 5:8
1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 54–57
Acts 2:24
Revelation 1:17–18

Reflection Questions

When I ask, "What Man is this?", do I truly recognize Jesus as the ETERNAL Son of God who willingly gave His life for me?
How does Jesus' resurrection give me ETERNAL hope, courage, and assurance in the darkest moments of my pilgrim life?
Since Jesus is alive FOREVERMORE, how should His ETERNAL victory over sin and death shape the way I worship, live, and share the gospel with others on this pilgrim journey?

"What Man Is This?" The answer is the greatest proclamation in history: Jesus Christ is risen indeed! He is alive FOREVERMORE, and because He lives, all who have placed their trust in Him have ETERNAL forgiveness of sin, ETERNAL security, and ETERNAL life!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, fully teach me the wonders and riches of Your beloved Son, my ETERNAL propitiation, Lamb, Savior, and my Life.

In Jesus' precious name. Amen

Beloved, as believers, our greatest hope is not simply heaven; it is our precious Jesus. While we faithfully serve Him in this present evil fallen world, our hearts groan and long for the day when our Savior will call us home. In the quiet darkness of the night, we wait with joyful expectation for the sound of the trumpet and the voice of our Lord.

Our longing is not to escape the trials of life, but to be FOREVER with Christ and to be made RIGHTEOUS, completely like Him. The Holy Spirit has placed this hope within us, causing us to groan for the day when our salvation is complete, our sinful nature is gone, and we are clothed in PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVERMORE.

This is our blessed hope. Christ lives in us today, and one day we will see Him face to face. How wonderful is that, my beloved! In a moment, we will be changed and FOREVER reflect the glory of our precious Savior!

Help me to patiently wait for my Savior with joy and expectation. When the days are difficult, remind me that my greatest hope is not to escape this world, but to see Jesus face to face and be changed into His likeness.

Continue Your good work in my heart until the day You call me home. Keep my eyes fixed on Jesus; my heart is longing and groaning for His appearing.

Your Lamb Is Born - Song Devotional

Brief Devotional

Beloved, from the very beginning of the fall, Almighty God promised that He would send a Savior. Throughout the Old Testament, the prophets looked forward to the coming Messiah, the One who would be born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, and bring ETERNAL salvation to His people and the world. At the perfect time and in the fullness of time, every promise began to be fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ.

The angels joyfully announced, "For unto you is born this day... a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." The Child lying in the manger was no ordinary child. He was Almighty God's promised Messiah, the propitiatory Lamb who would one day give His RIGHTEOUS life for the sins of the world. The One wrapped in swaddling cloths would be crucified, then wrapped for burial, and then rise again in ETERNAL victory over sin and death.

Christmas is the celebration of Almighty God's faithfulness and His great agape love. The Father gave His only begotten Son so that through Him we might receive forgiveness, ETERNAL life, and peace with God FOREVERMORE. The proclamation of Christmas is the proclamation of the whole Bible:

Our promised Savior has come. Our Propitiation Lamb is born!

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for faithfully keeping every promise You ever made. Thank You that all Your promises are sound and true. Thank You for sending Your beloved Son Jesus, at just the right time, to be our propitiatory Lamb and risen Savior.

Thank You that the Child born in Bethlehem is the promised Messiah, the Lamb of God who gave Himself for our sins. Help us never to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, that because of Your great agape love, our Savior has come.

Fill our hearts with worship, gratitude, and joy. Help us to proclaim the good news that Jesus Christ is Lord and to share His agape love with others.

Thank You that through Jesus we have forgiveness, peace with You, and the hope of ETERNAL life.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Then, after all things are made new, we will behold Him forever in His ETERNAL kingdom. There will be no more sin, sorrow, pain, or death. We will worship our risen Savior face to face and rejoice in His presence forever.

As believers, our great hope is that we will see our risen Lamb in every stage of God's perfect plan—our Savior who rose from the grave, our coming King who will reign for a thousand years, and our ETERNAL Lord whom we will worship FOREVER and EVER, amen!

Yeshua Returns to Israel - Song Devotional

The Bible points forward to a day when Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Israel's promised Messiah, will return in power and glory to the very land where He first came in humility. The One who was rejected and crucified will return as the rightful King of kings. In that day, Israel will look upon the One whom they pierced, mourn in repentance, and receive Him by faith (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:26–27).

Yeshua's return is not only Israel's hope—it is the hope of the whole world. He will bring RIGHTEOUSNESS where there has been rebellion, peace where there has been war, and establish His glorious kingdom forever. As believers today, we eagerly await His appearing, faithfully proclaim His gospel, and rejoice that every promise Almighty God has made will be fulfilled in Christ.

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20)

Devotional Questions

What does Yeshua's promised return teach us about God's faithfulness to His covenant promises to Israel?
How should the certainty of Yeshua's return for His bride change the way I live, worship, and share the gospel today?
Do I believe all the truths about Yeshua's plan for Israel and Israel's return and restoration to Him at His second coming?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your great love and for sending Yeshua to save us. Thank You that Your Word is true and that every promise You have made to Israel will come to pass at Yeshua's second coming.

My New Song - Song Devotional for Unto the Chief Musician!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 22:19:29 +0000

My New Song - Song Devotion

Key Scripture: Psalm 40:1–3

Every believer has a story and a song of God's amazing agape love and grace.

Before there was a new song, there was a faithful God who heard our cry, lifted us from the pit, set our feet upon the Rock, and established our steps. David understood that his song was not something he created—it was something God placed within him.

The same is true for us.

As we walk with Christ, He continues His work in our hearts. Through His Word, He disciples us, teaches us, strengthens us, corrects us, comforts us, and transforms us into the likeness of His Beloved Dear Son. As He works in us, our lives become a testimony of His grace, and a "new song" He has now given us naturally flows and follows forth.

This song is not merely about music—it is about a life changed by Jesus Christ.

May your new song be more than words on your lips. May it be the testimony of a heart that has been redeemed, renewed, and is continually being transformed by the Lord.

"He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD." — Psalm 40:3

Reflect & Respond

1. How has God given you a "new song" through His saving grace and His ongoing work in your life?

2. What recent work of God has become a testimony that you can share with someone else?

3. Is your life pointing others to Christ so that they might "see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord"?

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for rescuing me and giving me a new song through Jesus Christ. Continue to shape my heart through Your Word and Your Spirit. May my life and my praise testify to Your faithfulness, so that others may come to know and trust You. Let everything I say and do bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Unto the Chief Musician: Song Devotion and Bible Study!

Unto the Chief Musician

Devotional

Every song has an audience.

As believers, our songs are ultimately sung unto the Eternal Chief Musician—the Lord Himself. He is the Creator of music, the giver of every good gift, and the only One worthy of all praise. Our greatest desire is that every melody, every lyric, and every note would bring glory to His holy name.

True worship begins in the heart. As we abide in Christ, the Holy Spirit teaches our hearts to sing in harmony with God's Word and with His righteous character. Our songs become more than music—they become a testimony of God's grace, faithfulness, and everlasting love.

Psalm 150 calls every living creature to praise the Lord. From the quiet song of one grateful heart to the joyful praise of God's people together, all worship belongs to Him. He alone is worthy because He is our Creator, our Redeemer, our Shepherd, and our coming King.

May every song we sing point others to our precious Jesus. May our lives be a sweet-smelling offering of praise, and may every note declare the greatness of the ETERNAL Chief Musician!

"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6)

Ephesians 5:18–20
Revelation 5:9–13

Reflection Questions

Is my worship centered on bringing glory to God or on myself?
Do my songs and my daily life reflect God's righteous character and His wonderful love?
How can I use the gifts God has given me to point others to Jesus Christ?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being the ETERNAL Chief Musician, the Creator of music and the One who alone is worthy of all praise. Fill my heart with songs that honor Your holy name and reflect Your righteous character.

Help me to abide in Jesus so that my life and my music remain in harmony with Your Word. May every melody I sing and every ministry You entrust to me point others to the beauty of Your Beloved Son and the wonder of Your EVERLASTING love.

May my life become a continual song of praise until the day I join the heavenly chorus around Your throne, singing FOREVER to Your glory!

In the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Almighty God Created You With An ETERNAL Divine Purpose

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 04:54:00 +0000

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen. 1:27). Almighty God made every person either male or female, and everything Almighty God does is ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE and RIGHT. He made absolutely no mistakes at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:31). We need to be the person Almighty God made us to be, both by creation and also by redemption: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
.

If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female, according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting, relativistic, politically correct society.
.

We are now told by government and society that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity. If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting a relativistic, politically correct society. However, in other settings and realms of our culture, world, and thinking we do not allow this lawless rationality.
/

We are now told that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity.
.

Some examples: A girl suffering from anorexia could be very thin, but she sees herself as fat. To honor such wrong thinking could be disastrous for her. Also, can a Hispanic person or a Caucasian person suddenly declare himself to be Chinese or an Eskimo? Is our ethnicity based on how we might self-identify? If we can change our birth sex, can we also change our birth date? Can a thirteen-year-old identify as a 21-year-old who would be legally able to vote, drive, and drink? Can a 5'10" basketball player become a 6'7" player just by seeing himself as taller? Would his height delusion or the demanding of society to receive his delusion improve his game? When we leave the realm of reality, there is no end to the nonsense that results (Rom. 1:18-32). Dear friends, is this not a simple matter to discern? But in the mind of millions, it all comes down to one's own personal rebellion, lawless selfish ambitions, and narcissistic thinking; that all are expendable and must be forced to keep one's illusion and delusion alive and intact.

We tell Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion.

Dear friends, does not the world do the very same thing when it comes to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? We who are fallen sinners tell Almighty God that we are RIGHTEOUS and DO NOT need His propitiation and Savior (Psalm 14, John 3:16-21, 1 John 1:8-10)! We tell and demand of Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion! Dear friends, that mindset is the true fulfillment and heart of all such crazy thinking in our world today!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion! Now, dear friends, back to the topic at hand: Our sex is not our own personal choice, but rather it is part of God’s perfect plan for our lives for His glory. We need - as human beings - to be content with who we are, because we are very precious in God’s sight. Dear friends, that is the wonder of it all; that Almighty God loved us so much that He sent His Son to be our propitiation for our sins and seeks to redeem us to be Whom He intended us to be from the beginning of creation (Gen. 1:30, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY when we are not.

Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? To know Him is to know forgiveness, pardon, REALITY, and RIGHTEOUSNESS! If you do not, we would like for you to do our Gospel of John Challenge so that you can see for yourself how much Jesus loves you!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18 - The Deeper Daniel 9:24-27 Prophetic Meaning!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 04:30:00 +0000

Beloved, this is absolutely mindblowing to me! The Lord Jesus perfectly understood Daniel 9:24-27 and used this prophetic text in Matthew 18:21-22 as an example of what full and complete forgiveness is in RIGHTEOUSNESS! I wonder if Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to and its complete meaning, as Jesus taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and full forgiveness and its restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

I wonder if Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to as He taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and complete forgiveness and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

The Lord Jesus also testified as He carried His cross to the children of Israel of that day, and stated in Luke 19:41-43 that, "Only if they knew the time of their visitation" and what would happen in the near future as a result of their being ignorant of the wonderful prophetic truths found in Daniel 9:24-26. O beloved, how many believers in the risen Savior of today miss all the signs and wonders of our hour! No wonder the Rapture Trumpet for the Body of Christ will come as a thief to many in these ever-growing EXPONENTIAL Last Days (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-4)!

Beloved, below is a brief outline of Jesus' message to Peter on full and complete forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS and its complete and full reconciliation of both parties! Also, it is a deeper look into the beautiful love and reconciliation of Yahweh God with His people Israel in the near future (Zech. 12-14)! The very One teaching Peter on forgiveness and reconciliation in RIGHTEOUSNESS, will be the very One who will be the propitiation for Israel, but also the whole world (Isa. 53, 1 John 4:7-10)! O beloved! How absolutely beautiful is that!

Divine Restoration and Forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS - Daniel 9:24-27

1. “Seventy Times Seven” Comes Directly From Daniel’s Prophecy

When Jesus said:

“I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
— Matthew 18:22

He used the exact language of Daniel 9:24:

“Seventy weeks (seventy sevens) are determined upon thy people…”

Daniel’s phrase “70 weeks” literally means:

70 × 7 = 490 years

In Hebrew:

shabuim = “sevens”
So 70 sevens = 490

Jesus’ wording directly echoes Daniel’s timeline.

2. Daniel’s 490-Year Prophetic Clock

Daniel 9:24–27 lays out six purposes God will accomplish within these “70 sevens”:

Finish the transgression
Make an end of sins
Make reconciliation for iniquity
Bring in everlasting righteousness
Seal up the vision and prophecy
Anoint the Most Holy

These are fulfilled in stages:

First 69 weeks (483 years) → Messiah comes
Gap (church age)
Final 70th week (7 years) → tribulation, covenant, abomination of desolation, restoration

Thus, “70 × 7” is a complete, divine cycle of redemption.

3. Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18

When Peter asked Jesus how often to forgive, Jesus responded:

“70 × 7” — the Daniel number — the number of God’s complete forgiveness.

This is not accidental.

Jesus was teaching:

As God is completing His 490-year plan to forgive Israel, so you must forgive fully and completely.

It’s a prophetic hint pointing back to Daniel’s countdown of forgiveness and reconciliation:

Daniel 9:24 → “to make an end of sins”
Matthew 18 → forgive without limit

Jesus was saying:

Forgive as God forgives: completely, fully, perfectly — “70 sevens.”

4. The Deeper Biblical Connection

A. 490 is the number of complete redemption cycles in Scripture

490 appears repeatedly:

70 × 7 = 490 years of Israel’s sabbath-rest violations → leading to Babylon (2 Chron. 36:21)
70 × 7 = Daniel’s prophetic timetable
70 × 7 = Jesus’ call for complete forgiveness

It always symbolizes:

Divine completion, forgiveness, restoration, Jubilee, and release.

B. Daniel’s 490 years are about God forgiving Israel

Daniel 9:24 emphasizes forgiveness:

end of sins
reconciliation
everlasting righteousness

Jesus uses the same number to teach:

Forgive the way God forgives.

5. Summary: How “70 × 7” Connects to Daniel 9:24–27

1. Daniel’s prophecy = 70 sevens (70 × 7 = 490)
2. Jesus intentionally uses the same phrase in Matthew 18.
3. Both contexts deal with forgiveness, reconciliation, and completing God’s plan.
4. 490 becomes the biblical symbol for God’s full, complete, divine cycle of redemption.
5. The 70th week of Daniel (the last seven) is the final stage of God completing His promise to Israel.

Maranatha! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

They Sold Their Souls to Rock and Roll - My Personal Testimony of Deliverance

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:30:00 +0000

My whole life prior to 1992 (Eph. 2:2-3) was given solely over wholly to the rock music industry. From playing the music to that of absolutely following all aspects of the industry and culture as some of you who knew me well know. It was my identity in many ways, and I sought to live it out in my unregenerate mind and blindness (Prov. 16:25, Eph. 2:1-3). As Almighty God began to get a hold of me, He started to redirect me by His Word, and I then began to see the many facets, evils, and vices of the whole music culture and lifestyle.

I remember saying to myself, in the last days that I played in my band "Silent Desire" (1986-1992), What are you doing? Listen to the lyrics of the songs that you play. What are they saying? Look what the consequences of this lifestyle and what it is doing to you and those who you care about greatly. I knew I had to leave it, and I knew that Almighty God could not be honored in any way or blessed by it in my life by practicing such godlessness.

Look what the consequences of this lifestyle and what it is doing to you and those whom you care about greatly.

Up to this point in my young age, I had lived a full life. After three years of challenging and wrestling with Almighty God and His Word, and trying to justify everything in my manner of living, at the age of twenty four I finally surrendered to the Lord and began to follow Jesus as my Lord and Savior (John 3:16.17). My final conclusion at that time was, Lord, you were absolutely right! I need You, and my actions were horrifically wrong. His grace and mercy showed and taught me how wrong I was and that God's long suffering with me led me to repentance and ETERNAL life (2 Peter 3:9)! That was in the fall of October of 1992. Since then, I have been truly blessed by Almighty God. He has blessed me and has filled my soul with His Wonderful ETERNAL Person and with His plan and future for my life. The music and all of its party lifestyle could never fill the ETERNAL void that possessed me. Only Almighty God can satisfy the famished soul of man (John 6).

In the end, I knew I would have to give an account to Almighty God and I would be doomed if I continued in my rebellion and sin against Him (Heb 9:27).

My final conclusion at that time was Lord, you were absolutely right! I need You, and my actions were horrifically wrong.

Before you label me a square or a nut, I would like to challenge you to objectively watch this brief series of documentaries on the music industry and its culture. On this website, you will see for yourself that there is something more sinister behind the whole godless music industry and lifestyle than meets the eye (Eph 6:12). In the end, ask yourself this simple question. Is this what you want to truly serve?

Be brave, be objective, and have the courage to face the realities at hand. Then you will see what it is all about.

The Lord Jesus stated: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

And if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

Put your faith and trust in Almighty God! He alone can satisfy. He alone can deliver! Put your trust in Him today. You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Warning God's People - You Are Distracted and Your Prophetic Guard is Down!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Since President Obama has left office and the manifestation of his secular agenda has "seemed" to have diminished, many evangelical Christians have felt at ease about the rise and threat of national and social secularism. And have been encouraging themselves and focusing on President Trump's post-Obama agenda and the restoring of America. Now don't get me wrong, we should do all we can to help promote our founding father's view for America in every way, for we live in time and this is our earthly realm (Psalm 34:14, Heb. 12:14); but NEVER at the expense of putting the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the proclamation of the abundance of current prophetic events, which are EXPONENTIALLY teeming with the manifestation of the very soon coming of the Lord on the back burner.

To my surprise since January, I and others have personally found that pre-trib prophetic interest among evangelicals has dramatically dropped and has slowed way down since President Trump has been in office.

To my surprise since January 20th, I and others have personally found that prophetic interest among evangelicals has dramatically dropped and has slowed way down since President Trump has taken office. This complacency is not good for God's people and is a demonic straw man and deception to distract and lull God's people into a state of false security and idleness, while the enemy moves his demonic agenda forward (Rev. 13). While God's people seemingly are currently distracted by the temporal and earthly of this vain life, they are neglecting Almighty God's present will for their lives and the ETERNAL Kingdom watchmen duties which we are to seek first (Matt. 6:10, 33). Now dear friends, hear me out if you please. We are not to be running around as "Chicken Littles" causing inaccurate unbiblical fears and falsely spiritualizing current events, creating confusion, for that is what Almighty God has called us NOT to do (1 Cor. 14:33, 40). On the other hand, we are to be with ALL biblical discernment and wisdom to be firstly watching, waiting, serving, glorifying, and proclaiming God's ETERNAL glory and goodness. No matter how things may seem to be moving in Washington in light of our present hour, this does not replace the REALITY that Almighty God's Day of global wrath is indeed very nigh as global events clearly tell us (Rev. 6-19), and His return and Kingdom are even at the door!

As Almighty God's watchmen, we have found - within the last two months- that sound biblical prophetic interest has now been replaced by temporal earthly things such as the false anticipation of the restoration of America.

As Almighty God's watchmen, we have found - with in the last two months - that sound biblical prophetic interest has now been replaced by temporal earthly agendas such as the false anticipation of the restoration of America, pro-Americanism, overturning Obama-care, undoing Obama's secular policies, closing our borders, removing illegals, fighting global Islamic terrorism, creating American jobs, religiously following conservative talk radio, holding Republicans and Democrat's feet to the fire, watching Fox News 24/7, fighting for America's personal survival, supporting the pro-Trump agenda, fighting for pro-life social causes, protecting American sovereignty and interest, etc...etc. Now hear me, my dear friends: I am totally for all of these things and have been greatly encouraged by Almighty God's grace and mercy to this nation. Also, I have even been a little encouraged by President Trump, his agenda, the fight against American communism, progressivism, secularism, and globalism. However, I am NOT trusting at all in any of man's sincere attempts to restore America in light of our EXPONENTIAL LAWLESS day. I am personally seeking ONLY Almighty God's will in such an hour for His ETERNAL glory firstly and greatly rejoicing in Almighty God's grace and mercy for this nation; which (our nation) even now is at the precipice of the global ash heap and heading straight into the Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19).

We here at the IFB have been zealously praying for President Trump for Almighty God's saving grace, wisdom, and guidance in such days; but neither he nor any of our founding fathers - if they were here today - can save this sinking Titanic of a nation, for we are EXPONENTIALLY past the point of no return!

It would seem to me and some others that Americanism is now taking first place among evangelicals, who just a few months ago were very eager to hear and who were daily keeping an eye on our world's prophetic events leading to the Lord's trumpet blast and the Day of the Lord (1 Thess. 4:13-18, Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, hear this one watchman of the Lord, if you please. We were NEVER so close to losing this nation and its global restraining power as we were in November, and since then - by Almighty God's grace - He has spared our nation for a brief moment for His people to seek Him with ALL our hearts, to get out His ETERNAL Word of redemption and to blow the shofar of warning that the Day of the Lord is at hand! How can we ever think and deceive ourselves that we can save this nation when it is moments from its end! We here at the IFB have been zealously praying for president Trump for Almighty God's saving grace, wisdom, and guidance in such days; but he or any of our founding fathers - if they were here today - can NEVER nor could EVER save this sinking Titanic of a nation, for we are EXPONENTIALLY past the point of no return; for globally the Day of the Lord is at hand! I pray to Almighty God that you have the spiritual eyes to see that, for if you do not, you will be totally opened and in a place to be deceived by the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-2).

How can any society survive when moral absolutes are hated, scoffed at, and demonized by millions of Americans and both political parties? The answer is, “It will not! nor will it EVER!” Thus, we now see the final sad state and coming downfall of our once great and highly respected nation as the Day of the Lord is rapidly approaching (Psalm 11:3, Prov. 14:3).

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of social morals that will be America's final demise.

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of moral absolutes that will be America's final demise, and my dear friend, we are already there! This nation - due to her abandonment of moral absolutes and the soon-coming Rapture of the body of Christ - will finally implode on herself, thus opening the door to the entrance of the Four Horsemen and the dreaded Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, it is absolutely crucial for all of Almighty God's people to keep Almighty God first and His ETERNAL purpose first in such days. My friend, if you are one who knows NOT the Savior, please be sure that you personally DO (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 John 5:10-13). This world is headed into the final showdown between demonic and human lawlessness versus the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God; between Lucifer, the fallen angelic creature verses the ETERNAL GOD and CREATOR of ALL (Rev. 16:13-16)! Be sure that you are on your Creator's side, who loved you and died for your transgressions and to be your propitiation and Savior (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Rom. 10:4, 1 John 4:10).

My dear friends, the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!

Our Hope and Future is IN the ETERNAL Person of Jesus Christ!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:30:00 +0000

Beloved, Do not let your hearts be troubled by the affairs of this world or the circumstances of this temporal life, BELIEVE IN Jesus and place ALL your trust IN Him, for it is IN Jesus Christ ALONE that there is EVERLASTING HOPE and FULL ASSURANCE (Acts 4:12, Rom. 1:16, Col. 2:2, 2 Tim. 1:12). Do your part to the fullest as an America in these last days; all the while knowing that NOTHING will stop the Rapture of the Church, Day of Lawlessness, the Lord Jesus’ glorious second coming, the establishment of His 1000 year reign in TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS (Dan. 2:43-44,;7:13-14; Isa. 11) and then the ETERNAL State of the Kingdom of God (Rev. 21; 22:1-5)!

Dear friends, be sure to see the BIG ETERNAL PICTURE first, then all will fall into place! ETERNITY with our Savior is our future, NOT this fallen demonic wasteland called planet earth. Our future is in a Person, the ETERNAL Person of Almighty God the Son (John 6:35; 11:25, Rom. 8:28-39, 1 Cor. 1:30-31; 13:1-4, Eph. 5:25-27, Col. 1:27, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, John 3:1-4, Rev. 1:5)! Oh Beloved! This wondrous REALITY and TRUTH will indeed set us free from this world's temporal bondage and from Satan and his many-faceted straw men, which are set up out there to distract us from all our promises in our ETERNAL Savior (John 8:32, 36, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Col 3:1-4)! Beloved, let us use all of these things to draw us EVER closer to our Savior and NEVER let our heart be troubled, for we are safe as can be in His risen, glorified, nail-pierced hands FOREVERMORE (Matt. 28:20, Luke 12:7, John 10:28, 14:18, Rom. 8:28-39, Rev. 1:17-18)! Rejoice and praise Almighty God that our hope in such days is in the ETERNAL Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us (John 14:1-3, Rom. 8:28-29, Eph. 5:25-27)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Psalm 64 - The Prayer Warrior's Sword Against Our Adversaries!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Psalm 64 is to be the Church's prayer warriors' sword against our adversaries as we seek Almighty God to take America's lawless internal enemies down and to bring them to a saving relationship to Almighty God (Eph. 2:1-14)! Only Almighty God can fight for our nation at this time and may it be our sincere desire as blood-bought sons of Almighty God to pray in full assurance of faith and seek the Almighty's perfect will and plan before the trump of Christ and the EXPONENTIAL and DREADFUL Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19)! Our appeal to Heaven is this nation's ONLY hope as it was our founding fathers'! May we in our hour sincerely and RIGHTEOUSLY appeal to Heaven that we may, as believers and Heaven's ambassadors, bring many sons to the cross of Jesus and to Almighty God's ETERNAL glory (Matt. 28:18-20)! This world and time are but a snap of the finger, but the ETERNAL is FOREVER (John 3:16-17; 36)! May God lead us to national revival and reveal the ETERNAL to the temporal, unregenerate minds of Americans who are under the demonic spell of the god of this fallen world (Gal. 1:4, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 1 John 5:19)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand! Maranatha!

Psalm 64

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust in him, and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Appeal to Heaven!

WARNING! EXPONETIAL Satanic Deception Present and Ahead! Matthew. 24

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 05:14:00 +0000

Do you want DIVINE REALITY today? Do you want DIVINE TRUTH today? Are you willing to BELIEVE Almighty God today? Then you will be Almighty God's freeman looking for His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM! If you DO NOT, then you WILL NOT KNOW, nor will you UNDERSTAND and COMPREHEND; and you will perish in the way of this world and die in your UNRIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:36; 2 Thess. 5:1-5). Not trying to sound like a bruiser but seeking to put ALL the cards and facts on the table of REALITY at once (John 3:15-21). Our present day is absolutely SATURATED and FILLED with demonic deception and will only EXPONENTIALLY abound the more in the days ahead (Matt. 24; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; Rev. 13)! Who will you follow, my friends; indeed, who will you follow (Matt. 7:13-14; 11:28-30; John 14:6)?

Today, may you choose to BELIEVE ALMIGHTY GOD and find ETERNAL HOPE and DELIVERANCE in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rev. 21; 22:1-5)! Indeed, the Day of the Lord and the Kingdom of Heaven are at hand!
