2 Pembagian Besar Umat Manusia di Muka Bumi dilihat dari 2 Aspek


- Secara Lahiriah (dilihat dari alam fisik) :

  1. Bangsa Israel / Yahudi ( Bangsa Pilihan Allah )
  2. Bangsa-bangsa diluar Israel / Yahudi (Bangsa-Bangsa Kafir)


- Secara Rohani (dilihat dari alam roh):

  1. Kristen:

· Orang-orang yang menerima Tuhan Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan dan Penyelamat.

· Orang-orang yang menjaga hidupnya terus-menerus agar tetap di dalam kebenaran Allah melalui pertobatan yang menghasilkan pembenaran dan penyucian oleh Darah Yesus, yang membuat hati Allah senang dan berkenan.

· Orang-orang yang mengenakan jubah putih jika dilihat melalui alam roh (pengakuan para mantan dukun yang bertobat dan percaya kepada Yesus Kristus).

· Orang-orang yang kedudukan dan kekuatannya lebih tinggi dan lebih besar daripada kedudukan / kekuatan iblis, karena memiliki status sebagai anak-anak Allah yang otomatis juga memiliki kuasa dari Roh Allah.

· Orang-orang yang menerima hak penuh dari Allah untuk masuk ke dalam kehidupan kekal dan menerima upah di dalam Kerajaan-Nya.

  1. Non-Kristen:

· Orang-orang yang tidak menerima Tuhan Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan dan Penyelamat.

· Orang-orang yang telanjang (tidak mengenakan jubah putih) jika dilihat melalui alam roh (pengakuan para mantan dukun yang bertobat dan percaya kepada Yesus Kristus), ini termasuk Kristen duniawi yakni Kristen yang tidak hidup di dalam pertobatan yang sungguh-sungguh kepada Allah.

· Orang-orang yang hidup di bawah kendali dari roh-roh jahat / najis dan berada di dalam cengkeraman kuasa iblis / Lucifer.

· Orang-orang yang menuju kepada alam maut / kebinasaan di neraka, yakni mengalami penderitaan selama-lamanya karena tersiksa oleh api dan belerang yang sangat panas (panasnya api di dunia tidak bisa disamakan dengan panasnya api di neraka), jutaan ulat yang menggerogoti daging, dll.

Susunan Kedudukan dan Kekuasaan di Alam Semesta:

  1. ALLAH (Allah Bapa - Allah Anak / Yesus Kristus / Mesias / Yeshua / Isa Almasih - Allah Roh Kudus)
  2. Kristen yang sungguh-sungguh (orang-orang yang percaya Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruselamat, dan tetap konsisten di dalam meningkatkan imannya)
  3. Malaikat-malaikat surgawi
  4. Iblis/Satan/Lucifer dan malaikat-malaikatnya (para malaikat murtad)
  5. Non-Kristen (orang-orang yang tidak percaya kepada Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhannya dan Juruselamatnya, termasuk Kristen yang tidak kontinyu hidup di dalam pertobatan)

Roller Coaster

 

I seem to be on a roller coaster with God. I happen to be sitting in the front seat. The person in the front seat, is the one first surprised by all the dips and turns, and then warns the people in the back by their screams. That would be me. Hanging on for dear life as God and I whip around this life with me surprised and screaming at every turn.

But, most of the time, my warnings go out and reach deaf ears. I am not talking about prophetic warnings just wisdom with life warnings.
do
For myself. I have ridden that roller coaster for years and there are still curves that surprise me and I will take the curve by being jostled all the way. I just do not learn some of life's lessons. I know that is the definition of insanity. And it is a bit insane to keep looking for different outcomes by going through the same thing the same way.

I have, however, learned that every time I revisit the same old curve, I learn more about myself and ways to keep myself safe. Sometimes we just keep walking into the same old pain because a deep need in us still has not been met. So, without thinking, we hit the same old curve and again the pain of being jostled grows inside of us.
bump
Will I take the curve the same way next time around. Probably, YES. Why? Because, I have still not learned that God will take care of that need. Instead, I just jump into the curve and then after the pain has subsided, then, I remember that God can ease me into that curve and take it, oh... so.... much easier.

I Am Back

 

So, much has happened since I last wrote. But, I am going to tell you a simple, but wonderful story.

I have this terrible fear of going to see the dentist. Maybe it stems from going to butcher dentists when I was a child. But, I will do anything to not have to go to the dentist.

Last year I had a tooth start to hurt. I asked God to heal it and it would get better. But, in the last year, I have asked God to heal it several times and it always came back to pain.

I have been in fast for eleven days now. I believe that God honored my fast bythe event I am about to tell you. My tooth began to hurt. I said to God. "If it is not to be healed, can it just fall out, so I will not have to see a dentist." The next day, my tooth suddenly fell out.
tooth
I was surprised and thankful. There was no pain nor warning. It just fell out.

If God had healed my tooth, then I would not have had the proof that I have now, of His glory. I'm all grown up, very grown up, and my tooth, painlessly falls out, after I ask go to grant me such a thing. That is an awesome God.
