It is so very important that God's covenant, born again children, consistently call upon the Lord. This we learn when we read Psalm 145 verse 18. As we call upon the Lord He will answer us, from the righteousness and truth of God's throne, where the Father and Son, reign. Sometimes it may take longer than we would hope for but our Lord is faithful and true and always answers our petitions. Hold fast to the word, the Holy Bible and believe that He is always faithful to His word and to those who obey His word. Remember, it took Abraham and Sarah, twenty five years before their promised son, Isaac, was born.

The Lord's Authority and Power

We read about the authority and power that was given to Jesus Christ, from Matthew chapter 28 verse 18. Who gave Jesus His complete power and authority? God the Father, gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, this immense power, over all of His creation. This occurred after Jesus rose again, from His death on the Cross, at Calvary. The Lord's power was given to Him over everything, on earth and in heaven, except for God the Father. Its chief purpose on earth, was revealed in verse 19. His children were to go and make disciples of people in all the nations of the world. They were to baptise all the believers, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Babylon, today, is mankind's attempts to govern by himself and ignore God's will and purposes. It is basically a monolith of financial, governmental, religious, philosophical, and Satan led system of confusion. This system began at the Tower of Babel and was then developed by the ancient Empire of Babylon. Later on, after Israel's Babylonian captivity, it began to contaminate the Jewish religion and economy and has continued on from before and after the time of Christ to the world wide juggernaut of disorder, Christian's see operating in the world around them. Satan has inspired man to be his own god and to make his own way, in defiance of our Creator God. Despite man being made in the likeness of God the whole world system of mankind is fraught with lies and deceit, warfare, corruption, sickness, plagues, climate catastrophes, government mismanagement and financial ruin. It is really quite hopeless because only doing things God's way can work, effectively.

No believer in God and His word, the Holy Bible and has allowed the Holy Spirit to take control of their life, should ever be deceived. Everyone, who is born again by the Spirit of God and cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and is a faithful reader and confessor of God's word and applies God's words to their life, should ever be consistently deceived. Lies and deception comes through the flesh, the world, and the devil. This also includes the devil's demonic counterparts both of the fallen angelic realm and those of unrepentant mankind. Always test whatever you read and meditate upon or hear from the pulpit with what the word of God, the Holy Bible, has to say on the subject. As well, the revelation knowledge, given by the Holy Spirit, to your own spirit.
