First; Allow me clarify a bit---My post, my words on this subject in no way is meant to be of a condemning or judgmental spirit. I only seek to bring to light the attitude and nature that pervades Christendom in these last days. I know from reading God's Word there is and has to be a balance in such things. There is a time to take Nicodemus off to the side and explain to him in kind, understanding words about the Kingdom of God. There is also a time to fashion a whip of cords and tear through the temple to let those that take the Lord's name upon themselves in vanity, know what they are doing and the need for it to stop. There is also a a righteous judgment ~ Which comes about by the Word of the Lord. Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 5: 12 and 2 Timothy 4: 2. So please understand; What I speak here, I speak first and foremost to myself, knowing that I am apt to stumble at any time.slain from the foundation of the world. There can only be one reason why some of us today in the church are so concerned with finding out just what this mark will be. I will explain further down in this message.Christendom has to wake up. I would rather be chastized and accused here by the brethren that do not understand what I believe to be Truth, than face Him on that great day only to have Him show me the people that would've listened and repented if I had just shouted loud and long enough and not been concerned about anything except that which God says. I assure you; I will do my best to bring this subject to the light while attempting not to offend anyone. If I offend ~ So be it. But I also assure you; What I say here is only meant to awaken a sleeping people. But if it should offend ~ Then maybe we ought to take another look at His Word to see why it offends and what man in us is offended.
By your grace, dear Lord, forever keep me humble
And forbid me ever to stumble.
But if I miss and tumble;
Let me stumble over You, Amen I feel confident in saying, next to the day when Jesus will return, the question of what will be the mark of the beast, has to be the second most sought after answer in God’s Word. And this really is somewhat puzzling yet, at the same time, quite understandable to me taking the nature of the latter day church. The first place in God’s Word that reference is given to this mark is in Revelation 13: 16 & 17 . And it is in reference to anyone that doesn’t accept this mark will be excluded from buying and selling. Or in other words participating in this world's economic system.
Revelation 13: 8 says And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
It is very clear to any of us desiring to understand Truth that very many, not all mind you, in the church has given themselves over to this Babylonian system of operation. Or in other words, the trusting in mammon to manage and run this entity. Revelation 13: 16 & 17 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 would also be confident in saying, this terrifies most in the church. This is why this frenzy of looking for a physical sign in the church is going on. Unfortunately this is the dilemma most of us will be as these days manifest, But Lord, How will I provide for myself and my family the things needed for life, if I can’t buy or sell?
As these next witnesses attest, the beast will be allowed to overcome these faithful unto death. Revelation 13: 7 - 9 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9) If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Notice, we do not want to be a survivor of this slaughter. many of us ask--- Why would God desire and allow the saints to be overcome? There can only be one answer; This is the final trying and testing of the faithful. The refinement. It matters not to Him that darkness will overcome the saints. What does matter is if the saints will overcome all else unto the end by a steadfast stand in the Faith. This is the purpose. Verse 8 above says all those who aren’t counted as one who has stood unto the end; Will be forced to worship the beast because we will have departed from the ultimate Faith. The only virture that can protect us spiritually. All that give in and give up and give out in the stand. All that dwell or all that are still alive on earth, will worship the beast. This is the final separation of those of us who claim to be faithful and those of us who prove their faithfulness. Just to make a short point here; These witnesses above completely shoot the doctrine of a secret rapture down.
Much speculation is given by end time scholars as to what this mark of the beast will be. The church is a buzz with ideas that it will be a micro-chip, a bar code, a fingerprint, etc, some hi-tech gadget that man will produce. I'm sure that some form of mass electronic ID is on the way. I'm just offering another view. The view from the spiritual window which is the ALL important view. I'm just not sure this mark will be a physical mark or a physical object. God's Word isn't clear enough on that. But I believe because of the certainty that a miniature microprocessor will be developed and in all liklihood will be important to those that seek to keep tabs on mankind; It will keep all of us looking in the temporal realm for this mark. And this is the crux of the problem.
As Solomon so wisely said; What goes around will come around again. There's nothing new under the sun. Everything that has been will be again. Most of us that know about this mark, are wrapped up in searching for some physical sign to confirm and prove that which God says is Truth. It has always been a select group in the church that gives Jesus so much grief seeking and asking for signs. It's no different today. But notice how He responded to a people that are forever looking for some way to physicalize the Kingdom of God. And yet He says His Kingdom has nothing to do with the physical world. We're a fickle lot.
Luke 11: 29 & 30 And when the people were gathered thick together, He began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30) For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. God shows us in the first two verses of Jonah 1: 1 & 2 what the sign of Jonah is: Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2) Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me. The sign of Jonah is an upright man in God's eyes---chosen to bring to light the evil and wickedness of a people. This is what Jesus did best. This is why He came. To make mankind aware of our sin and in our becoming aware of this sin, we can seek and receive His forgiveness. And to some extent; especially in these perilous times; This bringing to light the nakedness of the body is what He wants us to do. It has to be. The Bridegroom is on His way.
The thing we have to check ourselves on today, is to cease this ever popular practice of gleaning witnesses from God's Word, in an attempt turn this journey to glory into some comfy cake walk which it will never and can never be. Building a whole movement around one or two witnesses. If this concept is true in that there will be no physical sign given for this mark; It will have to be a spiritual mark. I bring this up because of the way we try to make tangible to the senses everything concerning the Kingdom of God. This is a very potent snare to us as believers. If we require a sign or a wonder to believe, we set ourselves up for a great big fall. Especially in the coming days where false and lying wonders by satan will be the norm. Because if we partake of the tree of seeing to believe---We will be shut out from the tree of believing to see. I say this because this would be the perfect smoke screen by darkness to keep us from ever seeing just what the true mark would be. The perfect camouflage to mask his true intent; his true plan. In this way; he would want us wrapped up in looking under every rock here and there; all wrought up with concern over what the mark is, searching for a physical sign when all the while this sign in all likelihood, the real mark, is slipped in and could indeed already upon us- Just like a thief in the night. I believe many in the church have already received the mark.
What in the world would a spiritual mark of the beast be? There is really only one thing it can be. It is the same mark that Lucifer took upon himself when he lifted himself up above God. It is the same mark that he passed on to Adam & Eve when Eve chose to believe a liar and not believe her Father. The same mark that caused her to stretch forth her hand and partake of the tree of seeing to believe. And this is the same mark that has been passed on to us today. This is the mark of disobedience and rebellion towards God's precepts, teachings, direct orders, etc..., by those of us who claim an all out complete alligiance to the Gospel of Christ. Those of us that have accepted salvation. This will obviously have to be a mark that we will have to take upon ourselves without us ever knowing it, without us being able to perceive it. Because of this; Who among us in the church of today, knowing what we know is coming; Knowing what we read in Revelation; Would willingly accept a physical tangible to the senses mark?
As I said; Sadly; I believe, very many of us have already received this spiritual mark of rebellion.
Please listen brethren; When I say disobedience and rebellion, I don't mean the rebellion of a lost person. I'm talking about anyone in God's household, the New Covenant believers, that willingly are lax to obey all of His precepts and teachings. I'm not talking about obedience to The Law, either. I am talking about all of the teachings of Christ; In their entirety. This Gospel of suffering for the sake of Christ. To the letter. I'm talking about a willful disobedience of the body of Christ. Knowing full well what is right to do, but willfully failing to do right. Knowing full well we are not being taught the whole Truth by unscrupulous, spurious men and women who prop up a podium, but content to abide there letting our ears be scratched. We all know who we are. And God truly knows who we are and our heart of hearts. Quoting a saying from the world, Ignorance of the law will be know excuse. We are required to go to God's Word on our own to find the Truth. If we don't think this is so; Let us try telling Jesus on that great Day, But Lord, that's what I was taught all my life from my pastor.
Mark 9: 43 ~ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched.Looking in the Greek lexicon on the this use of offend ~ Strong's # 4624 skandalizw skandalizo skan-dal-id'-zo ~ to scandalize KJV - offend 28, make to offend 2; 301) to put a stumbling block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall, to offend
1a) to entice to sin
1b) to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey
1b1) to cause to fall away
1b2) to be offended in one, i.e. to see in another what I disapprove of and what hinders me from acknowledging his authority
1b3) to cause one to judge unfavourably or unjustly of another
1c) since one who stumbles or whose foot gets entangled feels annoyed
1c1) to cause one displeasure at a thing
1c2) to make indignant
1c3) to be displeased, indignant
Notice what Jesus says here ~ If our hand causes us to sin, cut it off. If our feet leads us into unrighteousness, cut them off. If our eye lusts upon anything in this world, pluck it out.
Please understand; I'm not trying to rag on the church or running the church down for the sake of strife or contention, nor for any other reason than to wake up a slumbering people. To bring to light the snares that are laid for the Body. My heart is truly for the church. I have been called to bring to light some of these shortcomings of the Body of Christ. Because it's the things we don't know about that will hurt us. I am trying to bring to light what is going on within our midst. I sense by His Spirit a great urgency to shout and just keep on shouting---Wake Up!! Wake Up!! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!! The Bridegroom approacheth!!! Some will undoubtedly accuse me of stirring strife or being judgmental but I would rather be accused of that than to have to face Christ on that great day and be shown that I just didn't shout loud enough.
In fact, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5: 12 & 13 (Amp); That it is our duty to police the body of Christ as the facts require. What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge the outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]? 13) God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church]. So; as long as this censuring is done with all humility and a heart of love and concern. Then it is called a righteous judgment. there is such a thing don't ya know?This act of rebellion and disobedience has nothing to do with a lost world. As I said, this is the disobedience to God’s Word by those of us who claim an alligiance only to this Word of Truth. This is the rebellion of those of us that are of the household of God. This is the rebellion of those of us that claim to know His ways and purposes yet we do not follow the precepts and teachings of our Lord Jesus.
There is a special title or handle ascribed to a person that claims with their lips total allegiance to the Gospel of Christ, but stands afar with their heart of hearts. 1 John 2: 4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. The Amplified translation says it this way, Whoever says I know Him, (I perceive, recognize, understand, and am acquainted with Him) but fails to keep and obey His commandments (teachings) is a liar, and the Truth of the Gospel is not in him.This cannot be put any more clearer or more bluntly, brethren. If we continue in a lax, slumbering, lukewarm state we will be held accountable for knowing the Truth. We will be up for judgment and not rewards. This is a very, very heavy infraction. Please listen and hear. We will most assuredly stumble in this walk to glory from time to time. But God knows our true desires. He knows our inner intent. Our aims and goals. He knows if it is willful or not.Isaiah 29: 13 (Amp) says ~ And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning].
Amos 8: 11 & 12 says some very shocking words concerning the Spiritual Israel in which the New Covenant church is ~ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12) And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
The complete chapter of Deuteronomy 11; Is also on the obedience to God’s Word and His precepts. This is one of chapters in Deuteronomy that God reminds the Israelites of His faithfulness and their disobedience or faithlessness. He says in---
Deuteronomy 6: 2 - 8 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3) Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 4) Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. 5) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6) And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7) And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8) And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.Deuteronomy 11: 18 - 28 Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19) And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20) And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21) That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 22) For IF ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave unto Him; 23) Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 24) Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 25) There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as He hath said unto you. 26) Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27) A blessing, IF ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: 28) And a curse, IF ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Notice verse 19 & 20, God says to keep His Word on our lips continually, teaching Jesus to our children, talking about and meditating on Jesus while we sit in our house and while we walk along the road. When we lie down at night and the first thing when we wake in the morning, keeping His precepts in our heart and in our soul. Verse 20, And we should symbolically write His precepts upon our door posts and on our gates to keep us in our going out and coming in.
Psalm 121 witnesses to God’s protection by an obedient walk according to His Word in this way, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2) My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3) He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4) Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5) The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6) The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7) The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8) The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. This is a prayer for the physical Israel in the Old Covenant. But this speaks to the spiritual Israel of today where all of the New Covenant believers are part of. This prayer is a prayer for total and complete protection physical and spiritual.
Colossians 1: 9 - 14 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11) Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son 14) In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:Paul continues on through verses 15 - 22 preaching how Jesus has done this work of reconciliation, but as always, with a condition. This condition comes with the little un-noticed word---IF Notice verse 23.
Colossians 1: 21 - 23 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22) In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23) IF ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
The Amplified translation says verse 23 this way, And this He will do provided that you continue to stay with and in the faith (in Christ), well grounded and settled and steadfast, not shifting or moving away from the hope (which rests on and is inspired by) the glad tidings (the Gospel), which you heard and which has been preached (as being designed for and offered without restrictions) to every person under heaven, and of which (Gospel) I, Paul, became a minister. Please notice what verses 21 - 23 says, my paraphrase goes, Although you were separated from God by your wicked works, Christ is sacrificed to cleanse you of your sins so that you can be presented holy and blameless to the Father in reconciliation. And this He will do, if you stay rooted and grounded in the Faith that hope, which has its origin in the Gospel of Christ, brings to mankind.
The only key to God’s Kingdom is obedience to His Word. This one question I have to ask; Why did He give us His Word if we’re not to follow it in it’s entirety, to the letter? Are we to just glean what we want to believe, or what is comfortable to believe and reject the rest? If we reject any part of His Word, we are guilty of rejecting it all. If we don’t stand on every word, we cannot stand on any of it. God’s Word is our operators manual. We all know how important an operators manual is in the operation of a piece of complex equipment. Well, I don’t think the human mind, body, and soul can be said to be simple. We are very complicated.
My inference to the mark of the beast being spiritual comes from the thinking that those of us who accept the complete Gospel of Christ or disobey or reject the complete Gospel of Christ, will be our rejection or acceptance of this mark. If we reject any part of Christ's teachings, suffering for righteousness sake, giving all we have up, venerating anything above Him, etc..., we accept the mark of the beast because we willfully disobey our Father.
Now we have to remember---This is a heart thing. This has nothing to do with actually, physically giving up all else to follow Him. It has to start first with our heart of hearts desiring to do just that. Many, many times after we have trudged up Mt. Moriah with Isaac in tow; God will provide the ram in the thicket. But we will have to have made up our hearts and minds first to sacrifice that which we venerate, that which we hold above God.
There will be and cannot be any in between or lukewarmness tolerated. He is clear on this. We either accept all of the Gospel of Christ or reject all of the Gospel of Christ. We either put leaven in the loaf or completely leave the yeast out. Just a small amount of leaven will corrupt the whole loaf. We've either made up you heart and mind to lay all else aside and follow in His footsteps or we can't decide how we will possibly do without mammon and the things of this world. Believe me, with the times that are ahead, it will not be easy to continue being lukewarm. Those of us in the body will be separated! We in the church are on our way to finding this out. Revelation 3: 18 says---I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
There is also another mark mentioned in Revelation 22: 4---And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. Question---Is this a physical mark saying GOD or a microchip imbedded on or in our foreheads also? I don't think so. This can only be a spiritual or supernatural mark. Revelation 2: 23 says---And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Reins are something that controls the direction an animal will go or whether an animal will obey or not. Our mind and soulish thoughts are what does this for us, and our mind is in our forehead. Again Deuteronomy 11: 18 bears witness that sheds light on foreheads and hands. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes (forehead).
And notice, this chapter in Deuteronomy. And these witnesses also attest to the obedience or rebellion to God's precepts, and this will be our acceptance or rejection the mark. And it also speaks of hands and foreheads. Also, it speaks of our free will choice to accept or reject, verses 26 - 28---Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27) A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: 28) And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
In fact the NIV translation of verse 18 says Fix these words of Mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on you foreheads.
This dilemma will never be solved if we continue looking in the carnal realm for this mark. As I said above, this mark will only physically exclude us from buying and selling, or operating in the Babylonian system of economy. But it will ultimately because of the lusts of our flesh spiritually exclude us from the presence of God. This is what He wants us to understand.
As I said above, I believe many of us have already received this mark. Many of us cannot and will not lay down our worldly possessions and follow Him. We have brethren sitting in the church every Sunday with money market accounts, certificates of deposits, multiple pieces of realty, and a fat savings account. While others sit in the very same pews having a hard time paying their rent and electric bill. This ought to not be so brethren. Jesus is very displeased at this. We have been taught incorrectly, God desires us to be physically prosperous. Many if not most live with an over-abundance of goods and fail to provide the needs of the ones who are in lack. Many figure they are doing their part in providing for the needy by their tithes and offerings that they give to a pastor that also lives in the lap of luxury. This has to stop. If God grants us by His grace an over abundance we have to get into the habit of giving it away. And I don't mean putting in the tithe basket to build a new parking lot, annex or pay the evangelist guest speaker. There are brethren right in our midst that need this help.
The first place man’s economic system came into being is in Babel, the city in Nimrod’s kingdom.
Gen. 11: 1 - 9 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2) And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3) And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5) And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6) And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7) Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8) So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9) Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
God knew these people were usurping His grace again as Adam and Eve did. As God said in verse 6 in the Amplified translation says Now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.
2 Corinthians 10: 3 - 6 bears witness as to the reason why God did this. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.This economic system is not God’s way of provision for His saints. As I said, this is man’s way of telling God that they don’t need His grace, and they will provide for themselves. God desired a barter system if man was to trade. Of course, the instigator of this action is darkness. Sadly to say, the majority of the church has fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
Today with technology running amuck; There is very little we cannot do. We are even becoming god-like in that we can create life. But in a most perverse way. Life from three females in the cloning process. We do not even need male sperm to create. This is truly un-natural. God is saying again. There is nothing they cannot imagine that they cannot do. For the first time since God confounded the people’s language at the tower of Babel, the whole world speaks the same language again, and that language is digital and is fed and sustained by mammon.
I BID HEART PEACE AND ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSING UNTO YOU FROM HIS THRONE OF GRACE!
