RESIST THE ULTIMATE TEMPTATION--Making A Sacred Vow To Uplift God & Reject The World
The ultimate temptation is anything that can distract us from God. We are to set Him as the start-up page of our day and tune our minds to listen to Him. Anything that can pull our minds regularly away from God is a temptation. Today we live with seemingly the strongest and most universal temptation since the days of Noah. Has God gotten blurry over the past weeks and months of life? If so, you may have gotten infected with distraction. WOL2022-REV-08b - Avoid The Ultimate Temptation - https://youtu.be/Ip_NC2L4bv4

Satan is alive and well on planet earth today.
As Prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), his silent army of demon invaders swirls through the air. Around us lurk those infernal warriors of the Kingdom of Darkness.
These are not science fiction aliens.
Rather, as super-strong extra-terrestrial intelligent beings, their aim is clear.
Their shocking strategy is so powerful, normal humans would pale if aware of it.
These twisted demon hordes are even more deadly than a terrorist attack.
They are locked on course.
Their target is the human mind, the control center of every human being on the planet.
The Battle is Raging Today
The demon attackers find resistance only from those armed with the armor of God, clothed with the Spirit of God, and disciplined as soldiers of God in the kingdom of light.
Today we are enemies to Satan and his hosts.
To even speak of this dark world of evil, invites great and inexplicable difficulties.
Today, as this truth from God’s Word is taught you may experience strange and powerful turmoil. Our faith in Christ assures us though, that we are “more than conquerors through Christ.”
As we learn and grow today, we will find Satan is a defeated foe, a weakened adversary, and a crushed enemy. We have the victory.
We All Are Targets for Attack

SALVATION IS: BELIEVING WITH ALL YOUR HEART
MESSAGE SIX (Philip): The next Gospel Presentation is in Acts 8:35-37:
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” 37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

Today we stand beside the Krenides River in Philippi and remember Acts 16, Lydia's conversion, and Paul's powerful explanation of Biblical Baptism.
Have you been born again? Were you baptized in obedience--following your salvation? That is what God commands. This is a MUST-SEE video for so many believers floating along today so unsure about the Lord, their life, His plan, and where they fit.
Confident living, and boldness in the Spirit come through the obedience of faith. Baptism is commanded to FOLLOW salvation.
The Great Commission pattern is carried out in the book of Acts.
Have you ever wondered what Paul told them about baptism?
What did baptism mean to Paul as he administered it?
What did Paul tell them had happened to them when they got saved; and what did Paul say that baptism was for?
Those are perhaps the most powerful and impactful truths of the Book of Acts. If we can just allow God to fill in the pieces of what is going on here, we can see why the Gospel had such an impact upon every place it came. To help with that, we actually have the private lessons that Paul taught to those who came to Christ, they are recorded for us in the Book of Colossians. So in every baptism event recorded in the Book of Acts, we can see belief in the Gospel, followed by the outward sign of that belief in the believer’s baptism.
Paul Taught What Baptism Declares in Colossians
In Colossians 2:6-15, Paul wrote to the church at Colossi what he taught in other places where he had visited. Baptism portrays the wonders of what Christ did for us in salvation.
Here is what He said in Colossians 2:6-15. That is what these early believers were told, and they believed in God. That is the miracle of salvation.
Early Believers Understood Salvation
Today we have the same Gospel, the same miraculous work of Christ. Do you understand how great this salvation really is that God has done in you?
In Christ each of us His followers has:
A heart that is new;
A past that is forever gone;
A fresh new beginning;
An end to all guilt;
And nothing left to fear!
(MAC-15; 221014)

With the picture of Jesus walking into the Jerusalem Temple and with a whip driving out anything that was not in keeping with God’s holiness, think of the verses before us.
On His walkthrough of the new temple of God in His Church, Jesus found that believers had dragged into their lives and thus into His Temple, all sorts of bad stuff. Christ’s Report After Examining His Church
1-The saints in Ephesus had allowed other things in life to rob Jesus of first place in their hearts, in their schedules, in their concentration, and all that signaled that He was no longer the supreme love of their lives.
2-The Pergamites had gotten comfortable with the world, and had blended right into the activities, entertainments, and habits of the lost world around them and were no longer distinctive.
3-The Thyatirans were tolerating sin and allowed false doctrines to permeate Christ’s Church.
4-The Sardians were dead, they no longer looked alive in Christ, and their minds no longer appeared filled with new life from Christ. They were walking corpses acting, thinking, walking like all those dead in trespasses and sin around them.
5-And finally, the Laodiceans were so bad, so distracted by their materialistic pursuits of pleasure, and had become so un-needing of Christ that Jesus wanted to spit them out of His mouth, like a sickening taste, or a spoiled piece of food that could only be vomited out.
Now, as we open again to Revelation 2-3, and read this vivid, eye-witness description of Christ, isn’t it clearer why Jesus has those flaming eyes, those feet of brass, and a sword coming out of His mouth?
Jesus is walking through His new temple made up of the bodies of all those redeemed saints He has bought with His own blood; and the new temple has gotten almost as bad as the old one. Jesus is headed to cleanse the temple of His Church in chapters 2-3, and we see how He looks as He is on the way to do so in these verses in chapter 1.
Seeing Christ Cleaning Out His Early Church

Because of all these promises, note how God calls this place on Earth we call Israel - MY LAND!
Leviticus 25:23 ‘The land must not be sold permanently, BECAUSE THE LAND IS MINE and you are but aliens and my tenants.
2 Chronicles 7:20 then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
Isaiah 14:25 I will crush the Assyrian in MY LAND; on MY MOUNTAINS I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from MY PEOPLE, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
Jeremiah 2:7 I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled MY LAND and made MY INHERITANCE detestable.
Jeremiah 16:18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled MY LAND with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled MY INHERITANCE with their detestable idols.”
Ezekiel 38:16 You will advance against MY PEOPLE Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against MY LAND, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
Joel 3:2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
3. God promised to bring His chosen people of destiny to the Promised Land. It is a historical fact that God brought these "chosen people" into the "Promised Land," an amazing story of miracles in itself.

Losers are Keepers
Remember when you went to school as a kid? Out in the playground, you learn a lot of things that stay through life. Here’s one “Finders keepers, losers (what?) weepers”. Right?
Well, let’s find out. Turn to Luke 9.23. What does Jesus say? He says that what we lose for Him we get to keep forever. What we find and keep for ourselves we lose forever. So in reality Losers are Keepers and Keepers are the Weepers!
One of the best illustrations of that is in the tale of two men – one who lost and gained and one who gained and lost it all.
Sometimes I am amazed at some of the unexpected opportunities I had growing up. Let me share just one. I was about 9 years old. My family was caring for an 88-year-old saint from our church named Dora Kaiser. Now Mrs. Kaiser was quite adventurous but also very weak. She always wanted to go with us but usually had to find a place to sit down soon after she got anywhere.
My dad heard that a famous exhibit was coming to the Museum of Detroit and wanted us to go. I wasn’t sure what we were going to see but it was exciting all the same. After the 90-minute ride we rolled up to the curb in downtown Detroit. Soon we saw that there was a line half a block long waiting to get in. So I was assigned to take Mrs. Kaiser to find a comfortable bench inside where we were to sit and wait. Turning we saw people coming out a door just in front of where we parked by the curb. So being obedient I guided my elderly friend through the crowd saying excuse me as I went in search of a soft seat for her to rest while we waited.
Within moments of entering the building, I was astounded as we began to walk by glass cases filled with gold objects. More gold than either of us had seen in the 97 years we had lived between us. Mrs. Kaiser never found a bench. In fact, we never stopped looking in amazement at row after row of displays. Finally, after half an hour, Mrs. Kaiser stood with me at a large square box of stone with a glass top. Looking down I found myself looking into the serene face of a three thousand years old -- teenager. Here was the teen that died mysteriously, 30 centuries ago, yet most of the civilized world today recognizes and is familiar with his face.
I was overwhelmed at the warmth of the gold, the sparkling beauty of the gems that make up the final resting place of the boy king. The golden mask with its exquisite beauty has an almost spiritual quality to it. I noticed that each person who came to stand by me reacted the same way – with quiet awe and wonder. I was standing next to the earthly remains of the man who seems to sum up all that was the best of one of the greatest of all the Ancient World’s Civilizations. I was face to face with Tutankhamun -- the 12th Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt��

The Scroll Contains the Plan of God for Earth’s Future
Most likely this scroll is the same scroll we see in Ezekiel 2:9-10 and Daniel 12:4. It refers to the plan of God to take back the kingdom of the Earth, temporarily taken over by Satan. Some call this scroll the title deed, but it has so much more to do with the actual plan of action to judge sin and end the rebellion.
As we watch the scene of worship in Heaven, we have been studying the element of redemption. As we are hearing songs of worship that we will offer in the future, we are seeing the wonders of the beauty God has surrounded Himself within Heaven.
Now skip down and look at the opening of chapter 6. This scroll has seven seals. When we see that scroll opened in chapter 6 it is representing the unfolding of the plan for God’s wrath to start pouring out in three parts: through the seven seals (Rev. 6-8), then the seven trumpets (Rev. 8-14), and finally the seven bowls (Rev. 15-19).
First, as each seal is loosed by Christ, the Lamb, the plan explodes into action. In chapter 6 there are six seals opened, and in chapter 8:1 the seventh seal opens to launch seven trumpets.
Second, the seven trumpets cover chapters 8-14, where the seventh trumpet sounds in 11:15 it is the prelude to the final set of judgments known as the bowl judgments.
Finally, the bowls of wrath get poured out starting in Rev. 15:7 as they are introduced, and these seven bowls initiate the final events before Christ’s Second Coming in power and glory in chapter 19, and His final acts consume all the rebels in chapter 20.
But this sequence of seals, trumpets, and bowls always makes me wonder. How can Revelation swing from Heaven and worship to Earth and horribly destructive judgment? We can see the answer by understanding the explanations God has given. First, we can see twice mentioned collected prayers of the saints. See them mentioned in Rev. 5:8 and again in 8:3? Revelation is showing us, God, as he finally launches:
The Answer to Centuries of Prayers
For twenty centuries God’s servants have prayed obediently: “Thy Kingdom Come”. Now, all of those prayers, collected by God, in bowls at His feet, in v. 8 are scooped up and the wrath begins.
