The Stones Will Cry Out…

October 30th, 2007 |

Hey! The title of this is “The stones will cry out.” Not only is the Bible rich with scientific information, it is also rich with historical information and so many more. The Bible has been specific with the names of the rivers, mountains, tribes, nations, and so on. The information are vast in Israel, Iraq, Iran, Egypt and in that area. Those countries have rich historical information there. If these countries were not so war-stricken, many historical sites would easily be seen but because those countries constantly are in the midst of wars, many sites are destroyed and storms do come by and cover them. My husband and I would love to take our kids to these countries and expose to them all of the rich historical facts mentioned in the Bible.  :-) It is really wonderful!

Before I begin with history stuff, I want to give a background information of something. When Jesus entered Jerusalem. His disciples were rejoicing and shouting. They were thrilled the Messiah, Son of God, had come into Jerusalem. The PHarisees who truly disliked Jesus, told people to be quiet and not rejoice. Jesus told the Pharisees that if He told the disciples to be quiet, the sones, instead, would cry out.

It is quite common that Christians will sit back and say nothing. They will just keep their hands tied and not mention anything about God. And the stones are starting to show up and cry out instead of us. The stones cry out that God is real. 

I want to share three events where the stones have cried out. 

“But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” -Luke 19:40

I am amazed that a non-living object will cry out instead of a living being–humans. I find it very interesting that the Bible specificially used the word “stones”.

The Bible mentions in 8 different chapters that there was a nation called the Hittites who fought with the Egyptians. But the nation “Hittites” cannot be found in history writing or non-religion literature. It has only been mentioned in the Bible and covers 8 chapters.

Really, in the eyes of the “seculars”  if the historians do not mention the nation, it obviously never existed, or in other terms “a myth”. BUT praise God it is not a myth.

One historian claimed that there were no such nation as the Hitties and that the Bible had false information. To prove he was right, he went to the site that the Bible claimed they lived. As he dug, he shockingly found 40 cities, including their capital, along with a great number of mounments describing their activities. On one the mounments, there was a description of a treaty between the Hittites and the Egyptians that the Bible described.

Today a lot of historians and people have continued to find interesting artifacts and stories about that nation.

Who has cried out? The stones have cried out.

We know the famous story of the exodus of the Hebrews slaves from Egypt. Moses and the plagues. “God said, ‘Let My people go!”

The Bible tells us that the Pharoah of Egypt opressed the Israelites.. In the story, the Israelites originally built the city with clay and straw. Then, later, as a punishment, they had to gather their own straws. As a severe punishment, they had build bricks without any straw at all (Exodus 5).

Archeitures have said that there are no such cities as Pithom and Raames. It was nonexistent until one man discovered the cities. He said the interesting thing about the cities is that the lower parts of the cities were made with bricks that had straws. The upper part of the cities were made with bricks that had no straws.

The stones have cried out.

Walls on earth do NOT fall outward. They fall inward. The Bible says that Joshua and his soliders walked around the walls of Jericho for 7 days straight. The walls of Jericho is great, probably as thick as the Great Wall of China, (pics) not (pics).  The wall of Jericho had was far strong and big than the wall of China. The City of Jericho had REAL protection.

God had instructed that Joshua and his soliders march around the city adn that  on the 7th day, Joshua and his soliders must shout and sing with a loud voice praising God. Joshua and his soliders did that and the walls came tumbling down.

Many have said that this story is a ‘fable.” One does not walk around and have a city fall down flat.

But when the archeitures inspected the walls, they noticed it fell outward. A superior power caused it to fall outward. On earth, walls fall inward. Of course, God’s not dumb, He is going to make things appear differently.

The stones have cried out…….

So you think God’s really dumb?

Hi!

I want to continue talking about Earth and Science, I mean, God and Science. I recently did a v-log last week and it is titled “So you think God is dumb?”. This v-log is titled, “So you think God is really dumb?”

Before I go on, I want to mention that the word “theory” does not mean facts. It means “educated guess.” Evolution is not proven.  A theory does not mean something is proven as a fact.  Scholars from Cambridge, Harvard and other ivy league universities know and understand that evolution is not proven. They continue to study in that field TRYING to prove it.

Did you realize that evolution is a religion? It is a belief, a leap of faith that human and the universe appeared based on three things: time, chance, and struggle for survival. It isn’t proven, yet they believe in it. The same goes for athiest. Athiest believe and take a leap of faith that there is nothing, no God. It’s interesting.

Alright, back to science, our Earth regularly collects dust from outerspace and so is the moon. The dust is hardly noticeable. We should expect millions of tons of it on earth but where is it? Some may say that it is washed into the sea over the last few billion of years. Alright, if you wish to say so, that’s OK. The moon has no erosion and (ocean, storms, etc) and is also collecting dust at the same rate as Earth is.

Before man walked on moon, NASA experts were expecting a tremendous layer of dust on the moon due to the earth being billions of years old-approximately 4.5-5 billions of years of age. They were expecting 54 feet of dust on the moon. This is like a 5 story building.

When man landed on the moon, it was indeed a surrprise when they found little dust (only an eighth of an inch to 3 inches of dust). They examinated and stated that the amount of dust found on the moon would have only taken fewer than 8,000 years to stack up.

That makes sense to me. The world is not as old as you think.

——

Oh!! The sun is SHRINKING! Scientists have proven that the sun shrinks 1/10 percent per 100 years. Every hour the sun is shrinking about 5 feet.  Of course that isn’t much when you consider that the sun’s diameter is 840,000 miles in diameter.  The earth’s diameter is almost 8,000 miles.

If the sun is shrinking 1/10 percent per 100 years, then it totals 1% per 1,000 years.  Now if the earth is young, like 6,000 years old, That’s no problem becasuse the sun has only shrunk 6% already.

Now, IF the earth is billions of years old, now, the size of the sun back then on “day 1″ would be ENORMOUS. It would have reached and pratically touched the ground of the Earth. If the sun touched the Earth, it would have been SO IMPOSSIBLE to have life on Earth because the sun is H.O.T.

Researchers can tell that this rate of shrinking has been consistent since the making of this sun and now think, if the sun is proven that it is shrinking now and we  go back to the earliest day, the sun would have touched Earth….

Really, the answer is easy. The earth isn’t that old at all. It is very young.

WOODPECKERS

Who enjoys watching birds fly? I myself enjoy watching birds fly. Whenever I see them sit on a telephone wire, I like to look at it. I am amazed at how quick they can take off and land. I also like to watch woodpeckers because they are amazing. They can peck so hard and fast and not break their beaks!

*a do again*

see peck fast hit hit tree none break beak perfect hit tree then tongue stick steal insect perfect.

Alright now, the woodpecker is totally different from other birds. Every part of his body is different, fitted for drilling into wood. He has powerful legs and sharp nails to hold himself onto a tree. His beak is also very unique. It bangs away about 100 times a minute so his beak is very strudy and hard.   

His beak is connected to the skull, keep that in mind. There is a flexible shock-absorbing  tissue in between the beak and the skull that is not found in ANY OTHER birds! Imagine the bird hitting the tree and the shock protecting his brain. Wow! It is a marvelous bird.

The woodpecker also has a tongue, a strong keen of smell, he can locate the insect inside of a tree and immediately fly onto the tree, pecker it and create a hole then stick out his tongue to eat that insect. The woodpecker has a strong hearing ability and its tail is strong enough to balance him as he peckers the tree. Quite an engineering, eh?

If the woodpeckers did evolve, can you imagine the obstacles the first existing woodpecker would have had to overcome?

I wonder how many “trials and errors” nature had to take from the first woodpecker to the woodpeckers we see today. I try to imagine the first woodpecker ever to bang his head on the tree and say, “oh goodness gracious great balls of fire! I need a cushion!” No strong nails, clumsy legs, dizzy head, headache, eyeballs all wiggly and so on. Then the second bird comes along, he flies and bangs into the tree then falls down again, and again, and again and again and again.

How did they realize, “Oh yes! We will overcome the situation in their head!” THINK of all the headaches due to a lack of properly developed cushioning in the head! Think of the broken beaks that werent hard enough to take all the jack-hammering!

And what made them think that the insects way up on the tree was better than the millions of insects on the ground? Surely a LOT of birds were already feeding off the bugs on the ground. Why did the woodpecker want the high-class bugs high up on the tree?

See, it’s not evolution. God designed the woodpecker and made it a marvelous bird– to fly and land on a tree, jackhammer the tree and eat the high-class bugs insde the tree.  That’s perfect engineering.  

This is why I am amazed at how God made the woodpecker– a champ woodpecker.

People are always wanting to see a woodpecker jack-hammer a tree– they can hear the loud bangings and when they catch one in action, they enjoy watching it.

God has given us a woodpecker to allow us enjoy nature.  It is so cool to see a woodpecker bang his head 100 times per minute and manage to fly out without feeling dizzy or even suffer a massive headache.

I dare you to try that. Go up a tree, alright, I’ll let you go up with a CHAIN and a ROPE and bang your head onto the tree! See how it feels? I bet you’ll have a headache.

Wow!

“From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature….

So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.” -Romans 1:20

To hear or not to hear?

Stephen Hardy’s older vlog: http://stephen-hardy.blogspot.com/2007/10/cure-of-deaf-would-you-accept-how-about.html

Hi!

I would like to respond to Stephen Hardy’s vlog, the one he created three weeks to a month ago. I have been proscinating on responding to it. I have been busy with volleyball and other things that have come up.  Things are finally calming down here and I finally can respond to his vlog.

Here is his link for you here if you would like to see what he said. http://stephen-hardy.blogspot.com/2007/10/cure-of-deaf-would-you-accept-how-about.html

I will sum it up. In his v-log, he asked the deaf people of different choices to have the ability to hear. 1) Cochlear Implants 2) Technology (pill) and choices are often resisted by the deaf, BUT if 3) Jesus or God came up to you and said, “I want to heal you of your deafness.” Would you accept His healing? That was Stephen’s question in his vlog.

I watched it and I thought it was interesting. I would definitely like to respond to it. I will respond to this as a Christian because that is who I am.

My answer: Yes, definitely, of course, I will gladly recieve Jesus’ healing and power on my hearing ability.

But first, before I go ahead, I want to emphasize that God’s healing is not a fantasy. It is real. The power is still alive and happening all over the world today.  People are being healed everyday. I know that for sure because many times when my family became sick, we would pray over them and they would be healed. God is still alive! :-)

Ok, back to the vlog. Do I have a strong desire to become a hearing? Do I feel a longing to be hearing? The answer is, “no”.  This is not what I am wanting. What I want is when I die and go to heaven and Jesus says to me, “Well done, my good servant.” THIS is what I want and this is my goal. This is why I will say, “Yes! go ahead!”

I will say “Go ahead” because of two main reasons. 1) It is His will. (no way will I disobey Him) 2) To glorify Him and give Him praises and Honor.

Ok. The 1st one, 1) It is His will. Stephen in his vlog, he explained that Jesus had appeared to a deaf person and said, “God wants you to be healed, will you allow me to?”

That question, that comment…we should “automatically” respond, “YES” because it is God’s will. To say to God, “No thanks, I’ll do it my way.” is not a good idea because in Matthew chapter 7, verse 21, Jesus says that not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord” will enter heaven but only those who do My Father’s will.”

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” -Matthew 7:21

That verse is pretty powerful, wow. It shows that we cannot just think things lightly and do whatever pleases us and then tell Jesus, “I’m with you, ya know.” We need to make sure we are in the center of His will.

This is the primary, number one, reason why I will definitely say, “Yes!” and gladly recieve His healing to become hearing—automatically because it is His will. That’s it.

Now, the second one, 2) To glorify Him. Ok, there’s a story in John chapter 9. I’ll sum up the story. Jesus’ disciples saw a blind man. They asked Jesus if the blind man is blind because of his sins or is it because of his parents’ sins? Jesus responded saying that it is neither. His blindness is so that God’s power through him can be revealed. Then Jesus laid his hands on him and the blind man could see.

This chapter, can it also be applied to deafness? Yeah, sure. Maybe we are deaf so that we can show people the power of God? Imagine if I, as a deaf person, grew up deaf, come from a deaf family, generations of deaf families, and everyone knows me as a deaf person, and that has always been my lifestyle….then one day, I all of a sudden become hearing.  People will begin to ask me, “Can you hear?” and my response would be, “yes, God healed me.”

Can you imagine the impact it will have on people around me, especially those who choose not to believe in the existence of God? The event of me becoming hearing will not give any room for them wonder if God is real or not because I am a living proof that God’s power is still alive and real right now, today, in this world.

We ought not to take this issue lightly and say, “nah, I don’t want to hear. I would rather be deaf. I’m fine with the way I am.” We need to think of ways to glorify God, that’s why we are here on Earth for.

In summary, we need to think twice. When I begin to hear, does this mean my ASL and my “D”eaf goes away? My “D”eaf culture will go away? My identity gone? NO! Even if I now hear 100% I will still have all these things: my ASL, my “D”eaf, my culture, and my idenity. The only difference is that right now, I have an advantage. I can now hear.

Also, when I talk to people about the Gospel, or about God, I am not now limited to just the deaf people. The people I will talk to will increase. I now can be part of two worlds, the deaf and the hearing. I will no longer limit my service to only the deaf but now I can do for both.

I personally would suggest to anyone that if they ever think, “No, I’d rather stay deaf” to think twice when Stephen asks us that question.

Thanks!

So you think God’s dumb?

October 17th, 2007 |

Hey!

I enjoy science. Science is good! Some people might think that science do not mix with God. Naw…Science is God. Omni-scient. God made everything and he knows everything about everything.  It is the scientist that we need to question and examine what they are presenting. Like for example my daughter LOVES Discovery channel and Animal Planet. We tell her quite often that the information shared on Animal Planet are correct but their perspective on evolution is not correct. My daughter is able to divide what is true and what isn’t. She understands many great information and that earth was not made millions and billions of years ago.

The earth is YOUNG! Approximately 10-15K years old.

I will share three science information today. Dinosaurs–I cannot spell anything these days! Recently my husband told me, “Austrillia?!?” And I said, “Yeah, that’s how you spell Austrillia.” He told me, “No, AustrAlia.” I didn’t believe him so we made a bet. He said he would get me a brand new laptop if I was correct. He goggled it up and google asked us, “Did you mean australia?  Me thud. I didn’t know it was spelled that way. LOL. Ok Cool mind.

Anyway, Dinosarus, Continental Drift- I sign continental drift this way. It is an old sign– I don’t know. Eric and I were at school, yes we grew up together. Our teacher got tired of spelling continental over and over again so she asked us how we sign it. I told her it was *c on palm* and Eric said I was lying. He thought it was a dumb sign name but he and I ended up sticking with it. I guess I did.

Dinosaurs, Continental Drift, and the shape of Earth.

Dinosaurs! They’re real. They did not just exist millions and billions of years ago. They walked on Earth the same time man did. This is the same idea as when we go camping and we know that there are mountain lions and grizzly bears. When we see a bear, we scream and run away! Same thing, same concept. The bible mentions a dinosaur.

A behomoth is a dinosaur. God put dinosaurs to extniction. Job described a behomoth (dinosaur) in the Bible. In details.

Really, the Bible knows what it is talking about.

“Look at the behomoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs are like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with His sword.” -Job 40:15-19

Continental Drift

Like I said earlier, many secular scientists always start their process of something at “supposed 200 million years ago”– a scientist 90 years ago presented this theory that the earth 200 million years ago drifted apart.

If he had read the bible and studied from there, he’d know that the people a long time ago, way back before Noah’s flood knew that there was one land. Such investigation and theory would not be necessary.

We see here that God said, “the waters were gathered into ONE place…” and “The dry land he called Earth…” One, take note of the word, “one”. The land is in a singular form. Land. One land.

“Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”, and it was so.  And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas.” -Genesis 1:9-10

Check out another verse on the name Peleg.

“To Eber were born two sons, the name of one was Peleg; for in his days the Earth was divided…” -Genesis 10:25

The word Peleg means “divide” or “division”. It also means to be separated by water. This event was a significant event enough that the father named one of his sons after the event.

Many may say God is old fashioned, and that He does not know anything. Many may say that God is limited and boring. Uh-huh, that’s not true.

Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and proved that the earth is indeed round not flat. He is famously known for that. Schools fill schoolbooks with the discovery of Columbus and spread it like wild fire. I wonder why the manner is not the same for the prophet Isaiah in the bible?

Isaiah, the prophet, knew the world was round 1,000 years BEFORE Christopher Columbus and his folks..

Had people paid more attention to God, they would not be so afraid to sail the ocean. The truth was right there under their nose.

“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” -Isaiah 40:22

That’s not all, Solomon the wisest man ever- a king, he wrote this verse.

“When He prepared the heavens, I was there. When He set a compass upon the face of the depth…”- Proverbs 8:28

compass means circle. Wow.

God is not old-fashioned, limited or boring.

He knows everything.

God’s not dumb.

Science is FUN when you study it with God!

Enjoy yourself.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.” -Psalms 19:1

Halloween and Christianity

October 10th, 2007 |


http://www.leforstribe.com/

Eric really wanted to do a vlog about something else, a different subject but he has been so busy with volleyball and I am sick of seeing myself going like this, “Hello, Earth!…Asia…Australia..” so I decided to make another v-log. I thought I’d talk about Halloween since this month is October and October is well known for Halloween.

I will try my best to avoid opinions because opinions can easily form circles and people from each circle will say, “This is my view…” and so on.

Two years ago in October a lady hung herself to her death out in her front yard. She hung dead from a tree branch. Her home was by a busy intersection and there were a lot of cars and people passing by. She hung there dead for two or three days before someone called 911. While she hung dead, no one did anything immediately. No one tried to rescue her from her death. Why? A lot of people thought it was a fake body considering it is OCTOBER! It’s Halloween and they thought it was a fake body. This is what happens in October. Our hearts harden towards death.

Halloween is a celebration of death.  Ghosts, witches, bats, skeltons, scarecrows, vampires and gory flesh eating monsters tend to be portrayed during Halloween.

Fact: America becomes richer when two holidays come around the corner; Halloween and Christmas. It is really interesting how the two holidays, totally different from each other, makes America want to buy a lot of stuff! Halloween celebrates death which has a lot to do with pagan religion (and satanism) and Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus.

‘Tis the season when people harden their hearts towards the act of violence.

God does not represent death or darkness. God is about life and light. God explained in the Bible that He has given us…. let’s read the verse and see what God has given us.

“For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” -1 Timothy 1:7

It is no question that Halloween originated with Satanism and other pagan religion practices that had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with God. Sure, nowdays the majority of us do not participate in such rituals but make note that there ARE people out there in America and all over the world that still practice such rituals on October 31st.

Many people decorate their homes with halloween decorations– ”it brings out the spirit of Halloween. It’s fun.”  Skeltons here, ghosts there, cowebs and a gory monster there– ”brings out the spirit…”

I was thinking why partake on such decos to bring out the spirit of Halloween–to enlighten yourself?

Satanists and pagan religionists do such thing and they believe in it. Those things are meaningful to them and they value such rituals.

Now, do you think you are different than them? They bring out the spirit and mean it. They are praising and celebrating Death. You just want to bring out the spirit, too. Are you also praising and celebrating such practice, too?

In God’s eyes– if someone has done something wrong, it is wrong. If somoene who did not do anything wrong but approves of someone else doing it, that someone is also wrong. It is the same with stealing. You didn’t steal but you saw someone else steal and said nothing about it and approved of it. It’s the same thing as if you actually stole something. An accomplice.

God views the same thing.

God doesn’t like such pagan religion practices, act of murder, act of evil, and such. It’s wrong. We think it is funny and we approve of it only on October 31st. We say, “Oh, those paganists– I don’t do anything like that.” But we pretend and act like it and we say it is fun.

God sees that one is no different than the other one in this situation.

“…being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, they are whisperers, backbiters, hater of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmercidul, who, knowing the righteous judgement of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” -Romans 1:28-32.

God said not to take pleasure in what causes fear–murder and evil things. Parents are putting a seed in their children’s heart to find such things (above)…..fun. The parents are the ONES that are instilling fear in thier children’s mind and hearts. They are sharing with the kids that, “yeah on October 31st, people kill. It’s OK. It’s funny. Look at that man stab his head! HAW HAW HAW! Don’t worry about it.” Actually, is it fun for the children? No. They are really scared when they see such things but as they grow and see it over and over again, their hearts harden and they don’t think it is bad anymore. They mix “murder” to “fun and pleasures” and “evil actions” to “nothing wrong”.

When little kids see gory things that scare them– they don’t think it is funny. They’re actually scared. Their heart is beating hard and the parents tell them, “lookit lookit!” and then when they turn to hug someone they trust, you hug them back to comfort them and tell them it is all a fakey. Isn’t it a contradiction when parents teach their children not to kill- instill good moral values but on October 31st, it’s alright to act like you’re a murderer and to lavish yourself with blood.

What’s the difference?

We wonder why so much killing is going around– recently a grandmother drowned her grand son, a 15 year old teen raped 2 year old girl, and there’s school and college shootings—and so on.  It all boils down to a little tiny small seed that was planted inside their hearts BY THEIR OWN PARENTS.  Halloween is a time when a seed has been planted. We go to haunted house and see gory things and see it as “no big deal”. Let’s have fun! We pay money to enter haunted house to check out and SEE how scary it is. We try to go though it and come out ”alive”.  

We invest our money in that and we wonder why in the world are kids nowdays so bad. Actually it is the parenting that has gone bad.

Why glorify something that is not of God?

Think about what happens during Halloween, haunted house, and trick or treating–every time a young child is around such things, they ARE scared and after seeing it year after year, their heart hardens and they’re not scared anymore but see it as funny and fun!

Do you know what the Bible says about adults who causes little children to sin against God?

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” -Matthew 18:6

Maybe you’re wondering, “What about candy? I wanna my kids to have candy.” Really, who cares. Candy kills. It has made America the number one in the world with obesity problem. There are plenty of other things to do in the month of October without having to celebrate Halloween. Take corn maze as an example. There’s one in my area and I’m very sure there’s many all over the U.S.A.

*picture in video*

As for me  and my family, we don’t celebrate Halloween. Are we hiding behind closed doors and windows? No. We’re Christians. We have a job to do and that is to get out and spread the Word to children and their parents. We go to Fall Harvest at our church and we make it fun so that the kids from the area will chose to come instead of wandering in those haunted houses and be afraid from seeing such horrible acts of muder, blood, and Death.

God has a great plan for each kid and even so their parents here on Earth :-)

Those two spirits, God and Death, they are against each other. Enemies.

*picture on video* “We’re recruiting now…so come on and follow Mr. Reaper. He’ll take good care of you.”

Cross the Bridge

October 4th, 2007 |


 

grr…video quality sucks– i forgot how I did Eric’s. yrros, yrros, yrros. :-( I know I look so paalllle– it is because of the SUN! :-( Well, enjoy watching a clown (white face) LOL. I;m not gonna try to fix this video– waste my time. grr. I need to get me a mac. LOL)

(press pause if you want to take a closer look at the pictures) 

Imagine that you are on a spaceship….

Take a close look out the window….

*picture shown on video*

See how beautiful Earth is? Asia and Austrillia! My, my, Earth is bigger than Mercury. Mercury is the closest one to the sun. (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars—and Pluto.)

*picture shown on video*

Whoa Jupiter! Jupiter’s HUGE! Where’s Earth? It is the size of a golf-ball! I can’t even see Asia or Austrillia! Uranus has a beautiful color to it and so does Neptune! Saturn looks golden!

*Picture shown on video*

Hello Sun! Thank you for waking me up every morning! Where are you, Earth? Wha…!? a cell compared to the sun! And Jupiter! It is a golf-ball now!

*picture shown on video*

Whoa!! Sun is now in this picture a pea! The white print says, “Jupiter is about 1 pixel in size. Earth is invisible at this scale.” Wow!! OKAY! Hello there, star Arctus!” It’s a star and I wonder if it is the North Star? It is very HUGE!

*picture shown on video*

What the…! *mumbling* The white print says, “Jupiter is invisible at this scale. Sun is at 1 pixel.” Antares is the 15th largest star in the galaxy.

“The sun has one kind of splendor, The moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.” -1 Corinthians 15:41

Really, honest, we are nothing campared to the size of God. Nothing. Yet God CARES so much for us! He has His hands around Earth so that the star Anatares does not hit Earth. Anatares probably would not EVEN notice that Earth slammed into it.

God CARES for us!

“What is man that You are mindful of, the son of man that You care for him?” -Psalms 8:4

God can do many things and how do we get to Him? We saw here that the stars were far BIGGER than Earth. How is there a connection between God and me, a mere human? It is through Jesus Christ. He is the bridge between man and God. How do we get to Jesus? It is through faith and believing and accepting Him.

“For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith–and this not of yourselves, it is the gift og God.” -Ephesians 2:8

I’ll go to the beginning, God explained in the Bible of the principalities and powers on this Earth. A little of what Eric and I had shared in the last two v-logs. God sees that the Earth is a dark world. It used to be paradise but Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and…”bye-bye”. They lost the connection with God and it was forever separated. But God did not say, “Oh well, I guess I’ll see you later and let the Earth go on its own.” He cherished the world and his relationship with human so He sent Jesus. God as Man- in other words, Emmanuel. Jesus is what built the bridge between mankind to God.

The relationship with God is based on faith not sight.

Faith is a substance– a thingmaji that channels things between man and God.

None of us have seen Jesus in flesh and blood except those who have walked with Him. None of us have seen the 15th largest star in the galazy but we believe it is there. Fatih is believing in Jesus and in what God has shared in the Bible. Faith is a susbtance of things NOT SEEN.

“Now faith is the sustance of thinsg hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” -Hebrews 11:1

Faith is the REALITY of things hoped for…Through faith, you SEE hope. Then the scripture goes on to say, “the EVIDENCE of things NOT seen.” FACT of things not seen. Not seen. Wow. Evidence of things not seen. How many of us depend on WHAT we see? One too many times/

God works the opposite way. We have to SEE faith before we see reality. We have to believe in faith that it is there even though we cannot see it in the natural realm. We don’t see God with our eyes but we can sense him through faith and knowing Jesus.

Jesus died on the cross for many things– salvation is just one of them and the beginning of it all. God did not just stop at the cross– there is more to it– much more, like healing, peace, joy, love and many!

The word salvation is translated from the Greek word “soteria.” Soteria, in greek, actually has four meanings.

1. Forgiveness of sins

2. Deliverance

3. Prosperity

4. Healing

Walk in completion of what JEsus died for us all- all the 4 above. When we know Christ, we believe that christ has forgiven all of our sins–wiped clean–and that yuo are a new person. believe that you have been delivered from the dark world- no strongholds, no burden, etc. Walk in prosperity- your financials and goals are with God, actually believe in Him in everything you do that is according to His will. Healing in all araes–physical, spiritual, and mentally–we are healed as a whole!

I am going to go off a little into the topic of healing. Jesus was beaten up when he was going to the cross. Scriptures say that Jesus was badly beaten that people could not tell if he was a human or not. People were amazed at how maimed He was. The point of this beating was so that we can be healed–made whole.

“who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-by whose stripes you were healed.” -Peter 2:24

 Notice that the scripture says “were healed”, were is a past tense. This means that Jesus has done it all for us– it is done. To obtain this, we must have faith. We must step into the faith realm and believe that whatever we haev now, it will be healed through faith.

God blesses those who believe in Him with a reward. It is a blessing, also.

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” -Hebrews 11:6

In conclusion, We saw how Earth was like a cell to the 15th largest star in the galazy. To get a feel of God is by faith, it has to be through Jesus Christ. No man can get to God without Jesus Christ. Jesus is the bridge and once we know Jesus, there goes the relationshop!

We have to believe by faith that God exists and that he LOVES to reward those who diligently seek Him. Yeah, God will reward those that genuinely believe in Him through faith. I wish that we all could get to know Him so that we can give God the glory for what He has done!

“For God so loved the world He gave his one and only son , that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16
