Jesus Our Creator "OUR RESPONSE"- NOVEMBER 1, 2020

What should be our response to our Creator?

Believing in our Wonderful CREATOR & responding correctly as His CREATION is foundational to faith, & living a life that is pleasing to the Lord!
GENESIS 1:1 In the beginning GOD CREATED the heavens and the earth.
GENESIS 1:27 So GOD CREATED MAN in His own image; in the image of God HE CREATED him; male and female HE CREATED them.
GENESIS 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which GOD HAD CREATED and MADE.

MARK 10:6

JESUS CONFIRMS CREATION!
But from the beginning of the CREATION, God ‘made them male and female.’

MARK 13:9 For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the CREATION which GOD CREATED until this time, nor ever shall be.

REVEALATION 3:14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness,

the Beginning of the CREATION OF GOD:

ISAIAH 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, THE CREATOR of Israel, your King.”

ISAIAH 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, And see WHO HAS CREATED these things, WHO brings out their host by number; HE calls them all by name, By the greatness of HIS MIGHT and the strength of HIS POWER; Not one is missing. Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I HAVE CREATED for My glory; I HAVE FORMED HIM, yes, I HAVE MADE HIM.”

ISAIAH 42:5 Thus says God the Lord, Who CREATED the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:

ISAIAH 40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, THE CREATOR of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

ISAIAH 43:1,7 But now, thus says the Lord, who CREATED you, O Jacob, And He who FORMED you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine… Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I HAVE CREATED for My glory; I HAVE FORMED HIM, yes, I HAVE MADE HIM.”

ISAIAH 45:12,18 I HAVE MADE the earth, And CREATED MAN on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded… For thus says the Lord, Who CREATED the heavens, Who is God, Who FORMED the earth and MADE IT, Who has established it, Who did not CREATE IT in vain, Who FORMED IT to be inhabited: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.

EPHESIANS 3:9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who CREATED ALL THINGS through Jesus Christ;

COLOSSIANS 1:16 For by Him ALL THINGS were CREATED that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. ALL THINGS were CREATED through Him and for Him.

FOUNDATIONS DESTROYED

Psalm 11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?

Psalm 11:3 (Cont)

“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed,
When the foundations [a stable society] collapse
When the foundations of life are undermined,
If the base of the building is destroyed, what can those who are right with God do?”
What can the righteous accomplish when truth’s pillars are destroyed and law and order collapse?
ANTI-CHRIST SPIRIT
Mocks and scoffs at the belief in Creation by a Sovereign Creator
Doesn’t acknowledge the Lord or glorify Him
Does brain-washing on the media & in the schools opposing God
Deception & lies

LACK OF the DUE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OUR CREATOR BRINGS JUDGMENT

ROMANS 1:20,25 For since the CREATION of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,.. who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the CREATOR, who is blessed forever.
REVELATION 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For YOU CREATED ALL THINGS, and by Your will they exist and WERE CREATED.”
for your pleasure they are, and were created.”
You created all things, and because of Your will they exist, and were created and brought into being.”
by your decision they are and were created.”
Everything existed and was made, because you wanted it [by your will].”
by your will they were given existence and life.”
by your plan they were created and exist.”

I PETER 4:19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a FAITHFUL CREATOR.

I Peter 4:19 (Cont)

do right and commit their souls [for safe-keeping] to the FAITHFUL CREATOR.
entrust themselves to a FAITHFUL CREATOR
keep on doing what is right and trust yourself to the God WHO MADE YOU, for he will never fail you.
let them trust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

COLOSSIANS 3:10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who CREATED HIM,

EPHESIANS 2:10 For we are His workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

PSALM 102:18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be CREATED may praise the Lord.

I PETER 2:9 …you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may PROCLAIM THE PRAISES of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

PSALM 100 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! ²Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing. ³Know that the Lord, He is God; It is HE WHO HAS MADE US, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. ⁴Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. ⁵For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

PSALM 145

I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever.²Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.³GREAT IS THE LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE. ⁴One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. ⁵I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your MAJESTY, and on Your wondrous works. ⁶Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. ⁷They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. ⁸The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. ⁹The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all HIS WORKS. ¹⁰All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You.¹¹They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, ¹²To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. ¹³Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. ¹⁵The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season. ¹⁶You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. ¹⁷The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. ¹⁸The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. ¹⁹He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. ²⁰The Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. ²¹My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh shall bless His holy name
forever and ever.

DECEPTION WARNINGS

Many don’t realize that the evolutionary theory, which is being taught as actual scientific fact in many schools was once banned and against the law in many places in the U.S.

DARWIN

Many don’t know that Darwin himself, the originator of the evolutionary theory – was uncertain about it himself…

BELIEVING IN GOD… AND EVOLUTION?

A new movement is encouraging CHRISTIAN colleges to embrace the teaching of EVOLUTION, and some of their professors, are trying to defend the teaching of evolution!

UNIVERSITIES / COLLEGES

Many students are losing their faith and becoming ATHEISTS!

PERILS & DECEPTION

2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days PERILOUS times (VERY DANGEROUS times) will come:
Matthew 24:4,11-12,23-24 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one DECEIVES you… many false prophets will rise up and DECEIVE many. ¹²And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold…false christ’s and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

MANY DECEIVERS

2 John 1:7 For many DECEIVERS have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a DECEIVER and an ANTICHRIST.

DECEPTIVE PEOPLE

LIES
”You demonize and then you do the wrap-up smear… you smear somebody with FALSEHOODS and all the rest & then you merchandize it and then you write it and they say, “see it’s reported in the press… this this this… so they have that validation that the press reported it… The smear that we made.. And then we’re going to merchandize it… it’s a TACTIC!
Demonize your political opponent by telling the public LIES about them!
The press reports the LIES as if they were true.
You use the press reports as validation that your LIES are true.

“TRUTHIFICATION”

Making fiction seem like truth and truth seem like fiction!

THE DEVIL IS A DECEIVER

Revelation 12:9 …the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who DECEIVES the whole world; …

OUR CREATOR IS IN CONTROL OF THE TIMES

Psalm 31:15 My times are in your hands…
REVELATION 10:6 …and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who CREATED HEAVEN and the things that are in it, THE EARTH and the things that are in it, and THE SEA and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

ECCLESIATES 12:1 Remember now your CREATOR in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:…!
