John 1:8 

John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light.

"We are on a mission from God" not a "Mission Impossible". God has a purpose and plan for each and every one of our lives, if we choose the path that enlightens our commission. John the Baptist was on a mission from God. Most people of the world would say; John the Baptist? Beheaded on a silver platter; "Mission Impossible". Jesus the Christ was on a mission from God. Most people of the world would say Jesus the Messiah? Nailed to the Cross of Death at the place of skulls; "Mission Impossible".
The "messenger of the Lord" an old testament prophet by the name Malachi if in fact his name was really Malachi (which we will stick with tradition knowing his name was not the unknown author) 400 years earlier pointed to the future of John the Baptist ministry in the Holy Spirit of Elijah by saying "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives, Malachi 4:5 (NLT). When the Lord Jesus sends those whom trust in His purpose and plan for their lives "We are on a mission from God". He will send you in the power of the Holy Spirit, not in our own human power but with a supernatural power from on High – the Holy Spirit, just as Christ sent out Elijah and John the Baptist.
Malachi denoted the coming ministry of John the Baptist as well as God's love for His people.  The same with John the Baptist before his head was put on a silver platter, John points the way to Jesus the Christ the only forgiver of sins for all nations and tribes. This is the same Christ Jesus that will condemn the religious ill, Muhammad, Buda, and any other pagan sect who wishes to deny the deity of Jesus Christ the Son of the Most High. The people who choose to live in the Valley of Slaughter will be consumed by a consuming everlasting fire. Neither your beautiful 72 black-eyed virgins nor Buda's nirvana nor your atheistic views  can help save you from Satan's coming wrath. The lost soul with out Jesus is like dead corpuses dug up 666 times; vultures (birds of prey) would rather turn their back and starve themselves than eat from your dead soul.
The forerunner John the Baptist, the last and greatest of all prophets was not the light but shows the way through loud tough love to us all. Malachi and John looked forward to the dawn of light which walked with mankind for a season. Now we also point and look forward to "the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives" but this time Malachi's prophecy will be fulfilled in Jesus' full Glory. In the words of  John the Baptist repent, repent, repent, and turn back to your first love who will freely forgive your sins. Jesus is your boarding pass to take a cruise on Noah's ark and be saved from the one hour of trial coming in these last days. The Lord God says he will deliver us all from Satan's rule and wrath if we turn back to His Peace, Love and Joy. The Lord Jesus speaks through His many faithful with all compassion wanting none that are perishing to perish. Death itself did not stop the prophets nor John the Baptist nor the resurrected Christ the Light of the world "We are on a mission from God" not a "Mission Impossible" no fire can scorch the purpose and plan of Peace, Love and Joy which is found only through the deputation of God's chosen way – Jesus the Living Christ. Choose life eternal and live out your purpose and plan God has blessed you with. "We are on a mission from God" not a "Mission Impossible".

John 1:7

He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. (Jesus)

Can I get a witness! Approximately 2000 plus years have past since John the Baptist and Jesus walked on this earth, and I can't help to wonder if John and Jesus were here today how they would be received. I am positive some people would receive them with great love and some people with great hatred. Whether you love Jesus or you hate Jesus it will never change the fact of who He is and what He came to do for you and all people of all nations. John the Baptist came as a witness to the Light; Jesus the Christ. John's mission was to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. Like a rooster's crow at morning dawn to awaken the sleeping minds of all those within ears distance. Jesus sent John to tell the sinful nations – Jesus is coming prepare yourself! Remember "The Midnight Ride" of Paul Revere in the spring of 1775? Paul Revere was employed to ride to Lexington, Massachusetts to warn Samuel Adams (not the beer) and John Hancock of their fate coming, as the Red Coats marched to seize them; But along the way Paul Revere stopped at each home and warned the household about the British troops. Just the same with John the Baptist calling from the desert, he came to share with the people that "I AM WHO I AM" has come for a little walk about with His creation. Jesus came not as a "Red Coat" but a "White Robe" not to seize you but to set you free from the deceivers' deception. You see without Christ the High Priest we would never be able to see through the curtain of the Temple. Now that the redeemer Jesus has placed everything back into it's proper order. The curtain of obscurity can be freely opened by all tribes of the world if they choose to believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit's redemptive work; the one that hung on an old rugged cross and then on the third sunrise arose. God no longer wants a circumcision of the body His prayer is that all people will choose the way of a circumcised heart. Repenting from the sinful desires we enjoy hiding from our own minds eye. Purifying ourselves within the peace, love, and joy found in Christ Jesus the "I AM WHO I AM" the Messiah whom now sits as High Priest who Abraham, Elijah, and John the Baptist bow gratefully before His Throne. I am sure they are praising Jesus for saving the human race from eternal suicidal death. What about you? Are you going to commit eternal suicide? Or are you going to accept the eternal grace that only Christ Jesus can offer? What Would Jesus Say? Possibly, "It's your choice" to choose between eternal Peace, Love and Joy or eternal suicide. Can I get a witness! Until we blog again – bloggies.

John 1: 6

There was a man sent from God whose name was John

Jesus said: "Among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist" (Matt. 11:11 NKJV). John the Baptist was and still is the last and greatest of all the prophets, so all you poser prophets and people of the nations that believe that Sodom and Gomorrah is a great shining light on a hill better turn and repent, because the wild-looking, long haired hippie from the Judean wasteland has spoken: "Prepare the way for the Lord's coming! Clear the road for him!" A. D. 28-29 (Mark 1:3 NLT). Repent, Repent, Repent; John the Baptist came to prepare and point all of us in the right direction which is the fulfilled messianic hope. JB cared about the people of his day as well as the generations to come – you, me, family, and friends. All people of all nations listen to what he has to say. Repent, moral reform, baptism, is this a bad thing? As stated in an earlier blog – repentance, moral reform, and baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not a death sentence. It's liberty, placing us back in our proper state of mind, body, soul and spirit – regeneration in the name of Christ. You know I have never known Jesus to be a liberal or conservative if anything He was a rebel breaking all the Jewish customs of His day that meant nothing to His kingdom. The question for you is: Did Jesus give us the Ten Commandments to punish us? Did Jesus give us the parables of right and wrong to confuse us? I think not; and what about that wild-man John the Baptist this dude looks like he just stepped off the set of the 1978 motion picture Animal House, running around in his little furry toga with a leather belt eating locusts and wild honey and to top-it-off he lived in the middle of a hot desert. John was definitely fashionably late and I'm sure he never hit the Judean catwalk. He was also socially incorrect but you know something John never took part in the indulgence of fermented drink that our sin cities have to offer and never compromised his integrity to his message. John the Baptist was beheaded for his message of moral reform prompted by Herodias ordered by Herod carried out by the Executioner. So, was Jesus' forerunner John the Baptist a sinner like the rest of us – absolutely but he chose the free gift of repentance, moral reform, baptism and living within the boundaries of the Ten Commandments therefore by his obedience and God's foreknowledge John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit and lives now for eternity. You see John the Baptist found his Peace, Love and Joy in the fulfilled messianic hope – Jesus is all the nations' messiah. Would you like to live for eternity? Have you found your everlasting Peace, Love and Joy? God sends many people into our lives to share His Good News of repentance, moral reform, and baptism. This is not to punish us but rather it's to set us free from the sinful bondage we get ourselves entangled. Where do you find your Peace, Love, and Joy? The temporal world of Me, Myself, and I or in the everlasting Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Me, Myself and I have only approximately seventy to eighty years on this earth – what is seventy to eighty years compared to eternity? Imagine this: It's like taking the Windex bottle and spraying the mist onto the mirror and wiping it clean and "poof" you're gone. Face it the human race has no excuse. God has set all things in order and there is only one oracle, one way by which mankind can be with the Living God and that is through a personal relationship with God's one and only Son – Jesus the High Priest. Therefore, in the words of the last prophet to ever live, John the Baptist "repent" for it will be by your own choices in life that you either find Peace, Love and Joy or you will find the pits of a very dark place. It's your Choice. Until we blog again – bloggies.

John 1:5

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. (NLT)

The Path of Totality is when the shadow of the moon tracks across the earth's surface causing a total solar eclipse. The sky takes on a devilish twilight and the moon's shadow obscures the face of the sun. Surrounding the darkness of the moon is a beautiful soft pearly white halo outline glow of the solar corona. As the moon's shadow falls upon the earths surface the crown of light shines around the darkness of the black disk of the Moon. Although the light shines in the darkness, the darkness does not comprehend the Light of Christ Jesus. Satan comes as the "god of this age" in this physical world. He comes to blind the minds of believers and unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the physical image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Satan's goal and future plan is to get in between us and the Lord Jesus eclipsing the face of the Son of God from our view. Satan will succeed in placing a veil over the minds of all those who choose the way of unbelief. The lack of understanding of what a personal relationship with Christ Jesus is really all about is called Satan's Path of Totality, which is the shadow of the Deceiver staining the minds of all mankind that make the choice – refusing to believe.  The charm of money, power and pleasure can obscure the light of Christ's word in our lives if we allow it. Therefore if without Christ Jesus you decide to follow the path through the valley of the shadow of death it will plunge you into eternal somberness; but remember the forces of evil will never be able to extinguish the light of Christ Jesus that has stepped into the history of His own creation. Jesus is the beautiful perfect solar corona, the halo of the Holy of Holies that has destroyed the veil of obscurity. He has stepped down off His throne opening the curtains of the great ancient Jewish Temple so we can see ourselves as the sinners we are, needing a Savior that has gutted the monkey on our back. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross (Philippians 2:6-8). Jesus came into this sick sadistic world – One for all so we can have the Peace, Love and Joy of a personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Repentance is not a death sentence to make you feel guilty as Satan would want you to think. Repentance is liberty; your personal get out of jail free card and as you pass "GO" collect your $200. The beautiful soft pearly white halo outline glow as the moon's shadow of darkness crosses the earth's surface can be a beautiful thing to witness. The darkness of the Path of Totality at the cross of Calvary is a beautiful thing for believers and unbelievers to witness as long as we focus on the Peace, Love and Joy which is the light the darkness can never extinguish. – It's your Choice.

John 1:4

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The source of life within a human being is the blood, without the blood as you well know human beings can not exist physically. Trivia time, did you know? Red blood cells are produced continuously in our bone marrow from stem cells at a rate of about two - three million cells per second - "amazing"; I'll let you do the math for how many red blood cells are produced in a twenty–four hour period. Another one of the red blood cell functions is to get rid of carbon dioxide and other waste products. John 1:4 says "In Him was life" meaning Jesus is the source of life physically and spiritually. The Bible indicates that all of mankind must be born again not physically but spiritually. Jesus' shed blood on the cross is the spiritual blood we need for eternal life; He and He alone is the one that rids us of all our poisonous carbon dioxide and other waste products that satisfy our sinful nature. If we ever want to know the True Living God physically and spiritually there is only one way and that is through a spiritual blood transfusion which gives new life. Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father(God) except through Me (NKJV). If you do not accept and follow God's son Jesus Christ as the way, the truth and the life whom is the light of men, you will live a life in physical darkness but you will also live in eternal darkness after your physical body has shed its blood, to word it differently – you will spend eternity in HELL. So what is hell? Hell will be a lot of things but the most important thing to remember about hell is it's the eternal separation form the True Living God after your mind is enlightened to the full revelation of who God is; the life and light of men. We all know that light overcomes darkness and we use it to show us the way in which direction we should choose to follow. There are many enchanted enlightenments you can choose to follow through this physical world from Islam, Atheism to Buddhism and everything in between pick you're fruit and as it says in Genesis 2:17 "you shall surely die" (NKJV). There is only one true way God the Father has chosen to redeem mankind and that is through his son Jesus Christ. Jesus has come to awaken the spiritually dead and illuminate our minds from darkness to light and give us life but you must be honest with yourself in the light of reality. Ask yourself the day after, does the temporal secular world really truly, truly give me the Peace, Love and Joy I seek after? Say "no to the world's enchanted enlightenments" and "yes to Peace, Love and Joy" through the one chosen to give His body's physical blood so people of all nations could have the spiritual bloodline needed for eternal life. Take His free blood transfusion today and be enlightened with the Peace, Love and Joy only Christ Jesus, God's son the light of men can give – It's your Choice. Until we blog again, bloggies.

The Jesus People - Peace, Love and Joy Blog

Well the last time we blogged we left off discussing some of the spoiled fruits of society and living a hakuna matata lifestyle and indulging in a smorgasbord of some favorite sinful delights. But putting on the amour of skull–n–bones which is the helmet of secularism the worldly way of intellectualism; breastplate of partiality; the belt of twisted factualism; our platform of pacification; buffer of agnosticism, and the sword of humanism is not the cure for peace, love and joy that we all aspire to attain. This is only the amour of the spiritually dead. In order to find peace, love, and joy one needs to seek out the source of life in and of itself which He is documented in:  

John 1:3

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (NKJV) 

When was creation actually created and I don't mean when the Egyptians discovered papyrus during 2500 B.C., raise your hand if you know? Notta – That's right mankind doesn't know but what we do know is the galaxy spins at a speed of 490,000 miles an hour and it takes 200 million years to complete one full rotation and there are over one billion galaxies out there just like ours. Scientists, religions and people alike have their theories of how the universe was created. God himself even has His thought. God says he created it; "and all things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made" (John 1:3). So why would an infinite omnipresent God need to create the physical cosmos or you or me or one billion or more galaxies. It is certainly not because He needed to, He already lives in the world of eternal immortality. So why is why a great mystery to so many people? Why does the entrepreneur love to create businesses? Why do musicians love to create music? Why do artist love to create art? Why does the late Mr. Walt Disney love Mickey Mouse? Can you see and hear the resounding gong? It is out of His love for His very own conception of creation. God is a creative thinker and expresses His own love through His masterpiece of the seen and the unseen the physical and the eternal. This gives great purpose and value to humanity and the palpable universe. Looking at the seen and unseen from the view point that says "it just happened" or "everything evolved" takes more faith than believing that the Living God painted His logo on creation. If there is no divine Creator then we are saying it was by chance that all the seen and unseen came into existence, and that my blog friend takes more belief than giving props to the Big Painter upstairs for getting a little art–see with His creation. Think about it for a second … the immortal world says God is Creator of the invisible and visible but the mortal world says it's by chance we see what we see and see what we don't see. The origin of the source of life is know to all mankind in three persons the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and it is your responsibility to choose between "by design" or "chance." Without these masterful artist at work there would be no Peace, Love, and Joy. Until we blog again starting with.

John Chapter 1

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (NKJV)

The son of Zebedee; John the Apostle a fisherman by trade must have listened intently to every spoken word from the very first street Christian Jesus the Christ (aka – the Word) as well as studying the written Torah in depth. By John the Apostle starting the Gospel of John with the same text as Moses did in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" John is clearly stating the beginning prior to the foundation of the earth. This shows within the rest of the passage Jesus' deity and identity of being fully God and man. John sums up verse one in verse two by reaffirming in:

John 1:2

He was in the beginning with God. (NKJV)

Flipping over to the First Epistle of John we read and confirm the Word's existence before the formation of the physical world:

1 John 5:7

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one (NKJV).

To reside in heaven a human being can not exist in the form of a physical being as mankind knows in this physical world around us. We must be transformed into our heavenly bodies.

1 Corinthians 15:53 – 54

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. (NKJV)

Out of all the religious/non-religious leaders known to mankind Jesus Christ is the only one to ever fulfill this passage of scripture transforming from mortality to immortality. Jesus says: we will be with him in paradise this could only mean that the human race must be transformed from our mortal state of being to our immortal heavenly bodies and the only way for mankind to take on immortality and discover the Fountain of Youth is to Believe, Repent, Confess, and Accept; the first God-man ever to experience the origin of Living Water.
I find it quite wild how we as human beings are on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth. We are looking to create life eternal within a dieing world. There is only one thing a human being can count on after he or she is born into this decaying world and that is you and I will cease to exist at some point within the timeline of this short physical existence. Toby-Mac of DC Talk best said it in one of their songs "We only have about 70 years on this earth" that's if you're lucky, just look around the world today what do you see? Take the Fox News StudioB 80 second tour around the world by the simple method of pointing and clicking your mouse. Tour the United States, Europe, the Mid-East, and Africa. What do you see? Doom and Gloom is all around us. It's like living in the 1994 animated feature "The Lion King" after Mufasa dies at the paws of Scar – Scar takes over the Kingdom with his band of laughing Hyenas. With Scar momentarily in power the pride and kingdom suffer greatly through famine and drought. But the Lion King to be is still out there and just as Nala went to find her childhood friend that was King to be, Mankind must seek out the one who lived in the world of immortality then took on mortality and was transformed back to immortality. Seek and you will find. Looking through my own stained glass windows at the world around me shows me the true reality–show of human life; we are suffering from a spiritual famine and drought across the entire world. A state of spiritual death has come across the world today and Scar's kingdom is growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis through the false religions of this world. From what I see, the Christian sect (not all Christians but the large majority) as well as the people of the world are represented by the attitudes of Simba, Pumbaa, and Timon. Simba who ran off in fear taking a leave of absence after his Fathers death then links up with Pumbaa, and Timon living a care free (hakuna matata) lifestyle. This life style is contrary to God's will for all that he loves and Mufasa's will for Simba. Living lifestyles that bear the fruits of a hakuna matata (self-absorption) way of life are destructive in nature. Ask yourself this question. Has leading a lifestyle of sex (outside of marriage), drugs, and alcohol ever been productive in my life? I can't speak for you but I can say in my own past hakuna matata lifestyle putting on the party amour of the weekend warrior – sex, drugs, and alcohol with a mix of Motley Cure creating the illusion – now looking back I was feasting on the spoiled fruits of death that could only momentarily fulfill my beastly appetite. Sex, drugs, and alcohol was never portrayed in the blockbuster movie the Lion King, but we do see the bitter fruits of sex, drugs, and alcohol running rampant in various degrees within our diverse societies across the nations, continuing to tear down the very foundation between mankind and paradise. Jesus has left us a legacy to follow in his footsteps and this lifestyle is not of Scar's Kingdom. If we follow Christ legacy it will bring us a fulfilled appetite of peace, love and joy. Until we blog again starting with:

John 1:3

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (NKJV)
