LORD, YOU ARE MY CONFIDENCE!
We need to be LIKE JESUS when He was hauled into court by the Sanhedrin! As it is written in Bible = Matthew 26:47-68
While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: The one I kiss is the Man; arrest Him. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, Greetings, Rabbi! and kissed Him.
Jesus replied, do what you came for, friend.
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested Him. With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
Put your sword back in its place, Jesus said to him, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of Angels?? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?
In that hour Jesus said to the crowd,
Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture Me???
Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest Me; But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.
Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally, two came forward and declared, This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’
Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.
You have said so, Jesus replied. But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the Right Hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of Heaven.
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
What do you think? He is worthy of death, they answered.
Then they spit in His Face and struck Him with their fists. Others slapped Him
and said, Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit You?
Dear ones, there seems to be a ton of ANGER & ANXIOUSNESS in our lives today!
The Bible tells us that it is normal to BE ANGRY BUT DO NOT SIN! Psalm 4:4
We must NOT allow our emotions to dominate our actions. We cannot take up guns against the Communists in Congress, who have betrayed all of us.
Just like JESUS, we can have the Confidence that “twelve legions of Angels” can be summoned by the declarations of mouths in UNITY!
Just like JESUS, our President Donald Trump has asked the question – Am I leading a rebellion? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching (how to Make America Great Again), and you did not arrest me!
Just like JESUS, the members of Congress have LIED about his involvement in the events of January 6th, falsely claiming that he instigated the “riots” and displaying their hostility towards him with another FRAUDULENT Impeachment proceedings.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in 1John 3:18- 24
Dear Children, let’s not merely SAY that we love each other; let us show the Truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the Truth, so we will be CONFIDENT when we stand before God.
Even if we feel guilty, God is Greater than our feelings, and He knows everything.
Dear friends, if we do not feel guilty, we can come to God with bold CONFIDENCE.
And we will receive from Him whatever we ask because we obey Him and do the things that please Him. And this is His commandment: We must believe in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
Those who obey God’s commandments remain in Fellowship with Him, and He with them. We know He lives in us because the Spirit He gave us lives in us!
