MATTHEW 1 : SI HESUS

 

MATTHEW 1

               Dito sa chapter one ng Mateo ay pormal na ipinakilala si Jesus. Kung saan siya nag mula na lahi at kung sino ang kaniyang mga magulang. Ipinaalam din sa atin kung paano siya na buhay sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu kaya nag dalang tao si Maria. Si Jose na asawa ni Maria ay galing sa lahi ni David na naging physical Father ni Hesus. Ibig sabihin si Hesus ay isang hudyo o  Jews or the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob which is the royal lineage.

So, it shows that He’s the legal Messiah dahil galing siya sa royal lineage. Ang legal na tagapagligtas na sinasabi noon sa old testament. Ang kaniyang pagkabuhay ay fulfillment ng prophecies.

 

Bakit nga ba na buhay si Hesus? Ano ang sinasabi ng propesiya tungkol sa Kaniya?

              Na buhay si Hesus dahil nagkasala tayo sa una palang. Sa Genesis palang ay nagkasala na si Adan at Eba kaya ang buong sangkatauhan ay nanganganib at kailangan ng tagapagligtas. Bakit tayo nanganganib? Dahil makasalanan tayo. Ang gumagawa ng kasalanan ay mapupunta sa impyerno. Ngunit ayaw iyong mangyare ng Diyos. Kaya ibinigay niya si Hesu-Kristo sa atin upang tayo ay iligtas at linisin sa ating mga kasalanan.

 

ü  Genesis 3:15, The “seed of the woman” who would crush the serpent’s head,(Ang binhi niya ang dudurog sa iyong ulo) representing the victory over Satan. Dito inihayag ng Diyos ang kaparusahan na mangyayare sa ahas, sa babae at kay Adan noong sila ay lumabag sa utos ng Diyos. Ang sabi ay ang binhi ng babae ang dudurog sa kaniyang ulo at sa sakong niya’y ikaw ang tutuklaw. Nakasulat na sa una palang na iyan ang trabaho ng kalaban na tuklawin tayo upang mapatay ng makandag nitong laway. Pero ang antidote ng lasong iyon ay ang binhi rin babae na si Hesus and that is through the blood of Jesus we are saved. That is why He is our Redeemer.

ü  Isaiah 52:13-53:1-12, Ang nag durusang lingkod. Or the suffering servant predicts the suffering na pag dadaanan ng ating Panginoong Hesus. While reading this ay nalulungkot ako at nagiging grateful because na buhay upang mamatay para sa atin. Nakaka-touch that I feel so special dahil isa ako sa mga sinave Niya. But my heart broke sa chapter 53:5, “dahil sa ating kasalanan kaya siya nasugatan…” the pain na in-endure niya for us…ganun niya tayo kamahal. Kaya bigyan natin ng kabuluhan ang kaniyang pagtitiis.

ü  JOHN 3:16, FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON FOR WHOSOEVER BELIEVE IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE AN EVERLASTING LIFE. Ito na nga yun. Na buhay si Hesus dahil ito ang kalooban ng Diyos at alang-alanhg sa Kaniya kaya tayo ay papatawarin.

             

              Marami pang supporting verses sa propesiya ng pagkabuhay ng Panginoon at lahat ng ito ay sa isang purpose lang. Ito ay upang iligtas ang sangkatauhan sa kasalanan. At nangyare nga ang propesiya kaya tinatamasa natin ngayon ang kaligtasan na nagmumula sa KANIYA. ANG KANIYANG GRACE THROUGH HIS BLOOD.

              Pero have you noticed the inclusion of five women sa lineage ni Jesus. Sina Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah’s wife, and Mary. Sila yung may broken background sa royal lineage. Dito hina-highlights ang grace ni Lord hindi lang sa jewish people kundi including ang mga gentiles. That He is God of everyone. That He is the Saviour of the mankind.

              Gentiles are fellow-heirs too, ibinuhos din sa atin ang Holy spirit hindi lang sa jews. The salvation didn’t only focus sa Israel pero pati narin sa buong bansa through faith kay Jesus Christ.

              Kaya samakatuwid, ang pagkasilang kay Hesus ay isang act of love ni Lord sa sangkatauhan. Hindi ba’t ito ang buod ng ini-evangelize natin? Na noong una, ang first goal ng Diyos ay makasama tayo ngunit hindi iyon nangyare dahil tayo ay nagkasala. Ang bawat kasalanan ay dulot ang kamatayan. Ngunit ayaw iyong mangyare ng Panginoon kaya niya ibinigay sa atin ang kaniyang bugtong na anak upang mag silbing tulay pabalik sa relasiyon sa kaniya. Sabi sa Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Tanggapin natin si Hesus bilang Diyos at tagapagligtas natin at humingi tayo ng patawad at magsisi tayo sa kasalanan upang tayo ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.

 

Tayo ay manalangin.

 

              HALLELLUJAH Father GOD, Ibinababa ko po ang aking sarili upang itaas ka Panginoon. Pinupuri kita at sinasamba. Ikaw lamang ang aking Diyos at wala ng iba. Lord, You are the Lord of lords, and King of kings. Thank you for today Lord God, for waking us up, for all the blessings, for the peace, strength, and healing. Patawad po sa mga nagawa naming kasalanan. Baguhin mo po ang puso’t isipan. Tulungan mo po kaming mamuhay ayon sa iyong kalooban. Salamat for giving us Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. Thank you for the unconditional love. Maghari ka po sa aming buhay. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

 

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

REVELATION 22: THE GRAND INVITATION: EVERYTHING IS READY.

 REVELATION 22

THE GRAND INVITATION: EVERYTHING IS READY. Sa chapter na ito , the word “Come,” appears 7 times” .

7 represents divine completeness and perfection. The table is set, the groom is ready, and the Father has prepared the eternal home(Revelation 21).

Meaning everything is now fully complete and the plan for the union of Jesus (Groom)and the Bride (Church) is perfectly set. THE HOME IS READY Revelation 22:1-5 [1] Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb [2] down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. [3] No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. [4] They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. [5] There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. THE INVITATION HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED Ang invitation ay hindi ibinibigay ng last minute, ito ay laging ahead of time so no one will come unprepared . Everyone is invited, every tribe, every nation, every generation and every language received the invitation at lahat ay pinaghahanda. v.16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel to you to give you this testimony to share with the congregations. “ And if you received the invitation, you are now a messenger. Tell others about the Wedding! Ibahagi natin ang mensahe ng kaligtasan dahil yun ang kalooban ni Jesus. Stop delaying your salvation! Prepare! Tell others! Don’t let the door close while you are still “getting ready” The invitation is in your hands, but it requires a response. HOW’S YOUR GARMENT? To enter the wedding banquet, ang kasuotan ay non-negotiable. Theme: White(holiness and purity) Attire: White robes and fine linen (Revelation 22:14 19:8) v14Wonderfully blessed are those who wash their robes white so they can access the Tree of Life and enter the city of bliss by its open gates.

I remember sa Matthew 22:11-13, wherein yung inanyayahan ay hindi nakadamit pangkasalan ay itinapon sa kadiliman. White robes symbolizes righteousness and the washing of one’s life through Christ Jesus, wearing the white garment shows intentionality . To show up na hindi nakadamit pang kasalan – without a heart transformed by righteousness- ay masasabing hindi o kulang sa paghahanda at walang pagpapahalaga sa occasion. Since the invitation was given ahead of time, there's no excuse na hindi nakapaghanda , we've given all the time to be prepared. Sabi nga sa v14 only those who was their robes white “ may enter the gates and access the true life. Tayo ba, are we wearing the “white robe” o are we still wearing the rags of the world? Wag lang natin pakinggan ang message; intentionality means washing our robes in the holiness of Christ today. ARE WE INTENTIONAL? God’s preparation about this union is intentional, seryoso si Lord! Seryoso that the plan for redemption was made before the world began. Seryoso sya and intentional when He sends His only begotten Son to die for us para ma present tayo ng clean, pure and Holy sa groom. He is serious, na tulad ng sa garden of Eden inihanda niya muna lahat bago niya inilgay si Adam and now ni-restore Niya ang Eden and inihanda Niya rin lahat para sa Bride. If God is this so intentional about the union. Let’s ask ourselves: Are we just as intentional being with HIM? “Come,” says the Holy Spirit and the Bride in divine duet. Let everyone who hears this duet join them in saying, “Come.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the holy believers. Amen! ------------------------ PASTORA CZAR - JCRC SORSOGON

REVELATION 21: HOME AT LAST

 

In Revelation 21, the Apostle John gives us a glimpse of the new heaven and new earth. Each detail he describes points to a world that has been completely renewed and reunited with God.

1. Freedom from Separation

In verse 1, John mentions that "there was no longer any sea." In the biblical context, the sea often symbolized chaos, danger, and the distance between people. Its absence represents a new kind of freedom—freedom from the troubles, sins, and temptations that used to keep humanity separated from God.

2. The Bride and the Wedding

In verse 2, John sees the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven, "prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."

●      Who is the Bride? The New Jerusalem represents the community of God’s people—those who have been redeemed by His grace.

●      What is the Wedding? A wedding is the ultimate symbol of unity. It marks the moment Christ (the Groom) and His people (the Bride) become one forever.Purity and Sanctification

Because God is perfect, He can only be united with a bride that is pure. This is why the City is shown coming down from heaven already "prepared and adorned."

●      The Source of Purity: We cannot make ourselves perfect on our own. The bride is beautiful because she has been sanctified (made holy) by God Himself.

●      Our Hope: While we aren't perfect right now, we have hope through faith. We trust that our Lord—our Sanctifier—is the one preparing us to be presented to Him, just as a bride is presented to her husband on her wedding day.

 

3.  The union between God and His Bride is made clear in Verse 3. John hears a loud voice saying: "Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God."

The fact that God is now living right among His people is the ultimate proof that they are finally united. It is a beautiful promise that our relationship with Him will be fully fixed. We are moving back to the kind of closeness seen in the Garden of Eden—where God isn't far away like He was after the Fall, but is right here with us.

This is proof that
1.) Anything that is Broken by Sin can be Fixed By God
2.) We have true Togetherness with our God
3.) That there will be a new beginning promised by God.)


4. The result of this restoration is described in verse 4: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

This shows that God has finally ended the curse of sin that began at the Fall. In this new world, the things that hurt us most—death, suffering, and sorrow—will no longer exist.

For believers today, this is a source of great comfort. It promises that our current struggles are temporary and that God has planned a brand-new, eternal life for us where pain is a thing of the past.

 

What Changes in the New Order?

●      Emotional Healing: God personally comforts His people, "wiping away" the memory of grief.

●      The End of the Curse: The cycle of death and decay that started in Eden is broken forever.

●      A Permanent Promise: This isn't a temporary fix; it is a whole new way of existing.

●      A Note of Hope: We can face the hardships of today knowing that the "old order" is on its way out, and a painless eternity is on its way in.

In Summary, God is bringing us back to the close relationship we were always meant to have with Him. By getting rid of sin and death, He is fixing everything that was broken and making us His pure, holy family forever. For everyone going through hard times now, this is a beautiful promise that pain is temporary, and a happy, eternal life with God is waiting for us. 

WE ARE HOME AT LAST!

REVELATION 20: RESURRECTION TO NEW LIFE

 

REVELATION 20: RESURRECTION: TO NEW LIFE

Pahayag 20:6, 14-15 [6] Mapalad at lubos na pinagpala ang mga nakasama sa unang pagbuhay sa mga patay. Walang kapangyarihan sa kanila ang pangalawang kamatayan; sila'y magiging mga pari ng Diyos at ni Cristo, at maghahari silang kasama niya sa loob ng sanlibong taon. [14] Pagkatapos ay itinapon din sa lawa ng apoy ang Kamatayan at ang daigdig ng mga patay. Ang lawa ng apoy ay ang pangalawang kamatayan. [15] Itinapon sa lawa ng apoy ang sinumang hindi nakasulat ang pangalan sa aklat ng buhay.

First Resurrection

Who are they? The Holy and Blameless

- all the believers who respond to God's message thr invitation

- they are the people who accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior ans hold on to their faith

- those who believe and trust in Jesus

Second resurrection

Who are they? The wicked

- those who doesn't have a personal relationship with Jesus

- the spiritual dead

- who rejects Jesus and rebels to God

 

Tunay ngang pinagpala nag mga tao na kasama sa unang pagkabuhay sapagkat mararanasan nila ang tunay na kapahingahan ngunit kabaliktaran naman sa ma ayaw sumunod at kumilala sa Diyos, kapahamakan ang naghihintay sa kanila at walang hanggang paghihirap. Kahit dito palang sa mundo mararanasan na natin ang buhay na pang walang hanggang kapayapaan at kapahingahan w the moment we confess with our mouth that Jesus is our Lord and Savior and believe that He rose from the dead- this brings us transformation from death to life.

A truly saved life is a transformed life. Again, na highlight rito na our Salvation is indeed through Christ alone, faith alone, and Grace alone. Not on our good works that we are been saved but through His alone- Jesus the way, the truth and the life. And now theres nothing to fear in life now, not sin, nor satan, not even death dahil kung paanong nag reign si Jesus in victory tayo rin naman kasama Niyang naghahari. We are conqueror and co-heir with Christ. Keep the faith.

Accept Christ and we will not be judged but you will live forever.

Juan 5:24 [24] “Pakatandaan ninyo: ang nakikinig sa aking salita at sumasampalataya sa nagsugo sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi na siya hahatulan, sa halip ay inilipat na siya sa buhay mula sa kamatayan..

What should we do now?

-Let's bring this good news to the dead so that they may also receive life. JOHN5 [25] Pakatandaan ninyo na darating ang panahon, at ngayon na nga, na maririnig ng mga patay ang tinig ng Anak ng Diyos at ang sinumang makinig sa kanya ay mabubuhay. -1 Corinthians 15:[58] So now, beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures. At the end, May we all hear from the Lord "WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFULL SERVANT. Since you've been faithful in small things, I'll trust you with bigger things. COME AND SHARE IN MY JOY! -Mt.25:21 Peace and Grace be upon us as we live in Jesus Christ- the righteous judge and Annointed One. Amen

Revelation 19 : Victory and the wedding of the Lamb

 

Revelation 19

Victory and the wedding of the Lamb

The book of Revelation contains of three parts/messages.

The first (Rev 19:1-6) is where the heavens bring glory and honour and praise to God, the Almighty, the Omnipotent God. After we read about the fall of Babylon in Revelation 18, the Praise of God was sounded in heaven for His victory. The word Hallelujah (praise and rejoicing in God) is uttered 4 times in Rev 19:1-6. The heavens praised God for what He has done and for who He is – the Lord God Almighty.

We should also praise Him, and rejoice for all that He has done in our lives. A grateful heart, rejoicing in the Lord is an act of true worship. Think of all the things you can show gratitude for towards God and tell Him! Praising and honouring God for the loving Father he is, is also our expression of love towards Him.

The second (Rev 19:7-9) is what all true believers look forward to - the wedding of the Lamb and his bride, the church. The bride in Rev19:7 has prepared herself for the wedding feast and she was given clean shining linen to wear (v8).

We are the bride of Christ and has to be prepared for the day and time when Christ, the bridegroom comes for His bride. Through the parable in Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus encourage us to be watchful, to keep our lamps filled with oil for we do not know the day or the hour when the Son of Man, Jesus the bridegroom will come for His bride.

The third part (Rev19:11-21) portrays the image of Christ the leader of heavenly armies on white horses, and clothed in white garment. Here the fierce image of Christ with eyes blazing as fire, a crown (many crowns) on His head, His robe stained in blood and a sharp sword protruding from His mouth. He judges in righteousness (holiness, justice, uprightness) the rulers and the nations of the world. Only He can judge fairly as He is Faithful and True (incorruptible, trustworthy, loyal and steady).

I want to leave you with three things to meditate on from the book of Revelation 19 today:

·       Give God all the glory and honour and praise, rejoice in Him and mean it will all your heart.

·       Be prepared for the coming of the Lord Jesus. If you do not know what it looks like I want to encourage you to study the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to break the scriptures open for you and reveal to you how you can be prepared and remain watchful.

·       Know that the heavenly armies are preparing for battle and Jesus will judge righteously the rulers and nations. Also search your own heart and do not be deceived by the world as He knows all things (even the hidden secrets in our hearts). Bring the hidden things before the Lord Jesus, repent and ask His forgiveness. He died and was resurrected so that you and I can walk free from judgement, by the blood of the Lamb that was slain for us.

Revelation 18: Babylon Is Fallen

 

Revelation 18

Babylon is fallen

When I read through Revelation 18…again and again and again. One particular verse was highlighted and that is the warning in verse 4 which reads like this from the Classic Amplified Bible: “I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.”

This is not a new command, in the Old Testament the Lord also spoke through the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah and give the exact command 3 x times:

1.     Isaiah 48:20 “Go forth out of Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans!

2.     Jeremiah 50:8 “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans”

3.     Jeremiah 51:6 “Flee out of the midst of Babylon!”

With the urgency of the command that the LORD God Almighty bothered to repeat this message over millennia to flee from Babylon_ I asked the Lord: ‘’What does this verse say to me personally? How do I (one of God’s people, set apart for and chosen by Him) come out from Babylon?’

To answer these questions, first we have to understand what does Babylon refer to/represent here in the book of Revelation. Yesterday from Revelation 17 we learned that Babylon represents:

·       a system – that is a corrupt worldly system, full of compromise, pride, materialism, false worship, IDOLATORY, traditions, acceptable practices by many, false religion and we can add GREED.

·       Anything that pulls our hearts away from Jesus Christ is Babylon.

Yesterday we also learned the why we should come out of Babylon? This reason is also repeated in Revelation 18:4b “so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.”  This reason was also given to the people of God in Old Testament times through Jeremiah 51:6b “Save yourselves! Don’t get trapped in her punishment!”

Dear brother and sister in Christ, the LORD our God loves us so much that He does not want us to get trapped and suffer the wrath of His punishment that He will pour out on this system. Revelation 18:10b states: “…Woe and alas, the great city, the mighty city, Babylon! In one single hour how your doom (judgment) has overtaken you!” and Rev 18:19b “In one single hour she has been destroyed and has become a desert!” It is clear from Scripture that the LORD will destroy this worldly system, that people sell their souls for so to speak to attain as much money and fame and self-worship (idolising self). In one single hour the Lord will destroy all of this.

This grave realisation led me to ask again… ‘LORD, how do I detach myself from this worldly system, how to I come away from it?’

See, in my mind it was unfathomable to know how to be separated from this worldly system and how to flee from it. The way we live in the natural realm is that we are inevitably a part of this worldly system whether we like it or not. As a born-again of the Spirit follower of Jesus, set apart for Him, I felt like I faced a dilemma.

BUT GOD…

Gave us an example of how we can live for Him, as being set-apart. As I searched for further reference to Babylon in the Bible, God revealed to me the example of Daniel. Daniel and his friends Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah was some of the first Israelites taken captive by king Nebuchadnezzar to serve him in his palace in Babylon. Throughout his life Daniel demonstrated four principles which set him apart from the Babylonian system, amidst the fact that he was confined to living in the courts of the Babylonian kings of the time.

1.     Here we have a young Israelite (Daniel) forced to serve a pagan king in the city of Babylon. Yet he (Daniel) and three of his friends, Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah did not conform to the Babylonian ways. Instead, they chose not to defile themselves (Dan1:8). They chose to eat only vegetables and drink water and not to share in the rich foods served in the king’s palace (Dan 1:12-13).

We too, can choose to only feed ourselves with the healthy provision from God’s hand to sustain us naturally. Spiritually we can choose to only feed ourselves from the purity of God’s Word and abstain from the “rich food, the entertainment, the things that pleasures our carnal sinful minds”.

2.     Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah did not bow down to the king’s statue, amidst being threatened by death (Dan 3:16-18). Their trust in God was so bold that they declared God would save them from the furnace prepared to destroy them (Dan3:17), and they trust in the Sovereignty of God to further declare that even if the LORD does not rescue them from the furnace, they will not compromise and serve another God (Dan3:18).

Where is our trust? Who do we fear…the worldly system or God? The LORD invites us to trust Him with our everything, no matter the cost. Here in history in the book of Daniel, God shows that He and Him only can be trusted. He is faithful to those who put all their trust in Him and not in the power of kings, governments and leaders in the world.

3.     Daniel was a man of prayer, three times a day he consistently prayed, giving thanks to God (Dan 6:10 & 13). Even when his adversaries were jealous of him and tried to trap him, The LORD redeemed him for the glory and honour of His name’s sake.

A prayerful person will not be ensnared by the world, the Lord is faithful and will redeem those who seek Him earnestly in prayer (Jer 29:13). Prayer is our direct communication with the living God, do not take it for granted or diminish the power of prayer. Even if you do not see the results of what you are asking God for in prayer straight away, know that you know that you know that God will answer in His perfect timing for the honour and glory of His name. Here in the book of Daniel we see that even though he prayed and was seeking God, he was thrown in the Lion’s den, …

But how wonderfully amazing was God’s answer to prayer when He sent His angels to lock the mouths of the Lion’s and shown His power to a pagan king, king Darius – whose heart was convicted the God of Daniel is the living God and that everyone through his kingdom should tremble and fear the God of Daniel (Dan 6:26).

With this I want to challenge you to ask God:

What still keeps me trapped in the worldly system? As the Holy Spirit reveals this to you surrender this thing back to God and give it to him.

REVELATION 17: COME OUT FROM OUR BABYLON

 

REVELATION 17: COME OUT FROM OUR BABYLON

Revelation 17 reveals one of the most symbolic and powerful images in the Bible:
The Woman (Babylon) and the Beast

This chapter explains the spiritual system behind corruption, immorality, and opposition to God but ultimately falls under God’s judgment.

First, What Is “Babylon”?

Babylon is not just a place— it is a system – a corrupt world system.

It represents: worldliness, compromise, pride, materialism, false worship, IDOLATRY, TRADITIONS, it is acceptable by many, FALSE RELIGION.

 Anything that pulls our hearts away from Jesus Christ is Babylon - it may look successful, attractive, powerful – but in the end we have no peace, we feel empty and lost.

Why is living with our Babylon dangerous – because it is not the truth of our life – it is full of compromise, deceit and eventually it will be judged.

What looks good and comfortable is not always from God.

Second, Why God Says “Get Out”

1.      To Avoid Judgment - Babylon is destined to fall. If we stay in it, we will share in its consequence.

2.      To Stay Pure - God calls His people to holiness. We cannot follow God and live like Babylon at the same time.

3.       Because You Belong to God. - We are not of this world.  You are set apart for
Jesus Christ

Third, how do we “COME OUT” from our Babylon

1. Renew our Mind (Come Out in Your Mind)

• Reject worldly thinking
• Renew your mind with truth (Word of God)

2. Come Out in Your Lifestyle

• Let go of sin and compromise
• Choose righteousness daily

3. Come Out in Your Loyalty

• Stop dividing your heart
• Choose God fully

Fourth, coming out from our Babylon is a struggle

Because it offers comfort, it offers pleasure, it offers acceptance. But remember:
 temporary pleasure leads to eternal loss.

BUT WE NEED TO DECIDE NOW:

Today, God is asking:

• What are you holding onto?
• What is keeping you in Babylon?
• What do you need to let go of?

COME OUT.
BE SET APART.
LIVE FOR GOD.

WE CANNOT STAY IN BABYLON AND WALK WITH GOD.
