NOTHING WITHOUT THE SPIRIT

HE THAT BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU 

Philippians 1:6
In first Corinthians 13 we read about the fundamental truth about what love really is. By the end of the chapter there is no doubt in our minds that we need this kind of love, not the soap opera kind or the action hero kind but the perfect kind. The God kind. Just as we need love we also need someone else, the one who makes it all possible.

Some Call it LifeToday if you will hear his voice, do not harden your heart. Nor faint at the Lord's rebuke, because he chastens those he loves and scourges every son in whom he receives.
I have a message for those of you who are right at this moment attempting to do something in your life but you find it's so much harder than you could have ever imagined. Your called to perform a task that in spite of your qualifications, your not able from withing to accomplish it. Your confident and determined but deep inside you know that it's not enough. The Fails of the past haunt you every single day, and it's like the devil is on a rampage ripping up every tile you placed down to keep your mind and thoughts on a even scale. 

Your praying but on top of it all, your also extremely busy and as the weeks go by, it feel like there is less time to do and get started on those things. The internal struggle seems to drown out the voice of God and it's like you cant hear God properly not clearly. Your distracted and severely so and you can't seem to turn it around. I could go on here but the truth to answering this dilemma is in this simple fact. You need the Holy Spirit. You need wisdom, you need understanding. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge that leads to the fear of the Lord is in his word. Faith comes by hearing hearing by the word of God.

Now for the Holy spirit.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Phillipians 3:17-20
Your belly is symbolic of the weakest part of you, it effects your will and determines many of the choices you make, as it's directly linked to your self gratification. The moment you step out of that comfort zone your belly tells you to satisfy it, to satisfy yourself. To take leave of the situation and indulge for a moment. Those moments are always most likely carnal and sinful. Our belly causes our mind to take a leave of absence and then your acting in self destruct mode. It can be your god too, but it's also the place from which the birthing process starts and culminates. The moment you get into the flesh your outside of the Will of God, your in the danger zone . Who is the one who keeps you out of danger and warns you of the danger? Yes you got it, it's The Holy Spirit, your absolute best friend. The one that sticks closer to you than any brother. When we neglect the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our bodies, we are endangering our eternal security. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8

Ephesians 4:29-32
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
You can look up the scripture and read the rest.
Here is another one. 1 Corinthians 3:16-19
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Paul goes on to talk about envying, strife and the wisdom of man etc, but his message is meant to open your eyes to the fundamental truth of the word of God. The word of God is alive and living, the you allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in you fully.
That you will acknowledge that it is the work of the holy spirit to bring you to perfection. That you must desire him in your life because God has promised to give him to those who ask. The work that's being done in you is a work of perfection. Jesus said out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. He chose the weakest part of you to show you that he is able to work in you through your weakness. That his grace is really all you need, and that it can only be done by his Holy Spirit dwelling in you. End of message.

Come Let us go over to the other side.

CALLED TO REST

Waiting speaks of being prepared.

Some things to consider while waiting on the Lord.
Are you anxious, are desperate, are you in turmoil?
Are you restless, thoughts flying left to right in your mind, lack of concentration and focus? Is there always something that takes away your primary focus? And is there distractions that just seem to come out of no where?

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Psalm 37:7

Dreams
Psalm 37 begins by telling us not to fret, i have a tendency to fret myself and more so when i see or hear of injustice, so i was really receiving what i believe God was about to reveal to me.

The word Made flesh
Awakened from a dream this morning, and as i was making my journey from the land of sleep, I heard a repeating voice saying to me: 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God.' Upon hearing this word and knowing it's from scripture, thought i would get my bible and look into this. Here is what i discovered.

1. Fret not yourself
2. Justice will be met
3. Trust in the Lord & Do Good.
4. Delight yourself in the Lord
5. Commit your way unto the Lord
6. God will vindicate you
7. Rest in the Lord

In Matthew 11:28-39 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.The Hebrew word for rest is nuach. Nachah is a another word related nuach, which means to guide or to lead another into place of or a state of rest. When one has come to a place of rest, the desire is to also lead someone else to that place of rest. That is perhaps the desire in most Christians to give testimony to the unsaved. To invite them to the way of salvation. Jesus is giving the invitation to us to come to him in order to enter into his rest. he say that he will give you rest or that you will find rest in him. This is key because Jesus Christ who is the word become flesh is offering us rest. When God called Moses to go and lead the children of Israel to the promised land, God was giving him the task of being a leader, to lead the people to a place of rest. Moses had to first come to a place of rest himself seeing that he was a fugitive of Egypt. he had fled from the land of Egypt because of his guilt and crime. So he himself needed to come to rest in his own life first, before he could lead. So what is the rest that is being talked about here? this is the rest that can only be found in learning to trust. Learning to follow and learning to obey. Rest comes when we allow ourselves to be yoked to Jesus Christ. He says to learn of him, to take his example of how to bear up under stress and trouble.

Rest in Torah By Jeff A. Benner
Yeshua begins to identify this rest when he says; "take my yoke upon you and learn from me". Here Yeshua is referring to the Hebrews understanding of "learning" which can be seen as two oxen yoked together for plowing. An older, stronger more experienced ox is placed in a yoke next to a younger less experienced ox. The young then learns his responsibilities from the older through the yoke. The rest Yeshua offers is the yoke with which we are bound to him. What is the yoke? How do we, as the younger ox, learn from Yeshua, the older ox? The yoke is the Torah, the teachings of God. As Yeshua walked the Torah, we who are yoked to him learn the ways of Yeshua through the yoke, the Torah.

God is For You
I was beginning to understand that resting in the Lord was not passive but active. that i must actively submit, that i have to simply obey. From there i went to Deuteronomy chapter 8, it was not my intention to read Deuteronomy 8, the page fell there. It accounts of the journey and how the Lord God lead the children of Israel, you will do well to read it and to follow this journey with me. Remember that the reason that i started this study was because of the word that came to me in the morning telling me that i shall love the Lord my God. Then i went on from there to read Deuteronomy 30:11, but i continued from there inn the same chapter to and found the reason why i was there in the first place, i was being lead by the Holy spirit. Deuteronomy 30:11, God is telling the people that his word is not far from them that they couldn't find it. That he was not hiding his truth from them or withholding the benefits of obeying his word. They could not claim that they did not know what God was saying. If they failed to be all God wanted for them, it was not on the part of God's word being out of their reach or it being to hard to follow. It was because of their own hearts, because they wanted to live like the pagans who knew not God while yet still receiving God's favor and blessing. So being able to live in rest and all that comes with it was not going to be apart of God's perfect picture for them nor us.

The word of God cannot be changed, and neither can does God.
Malachi 3:6
God wants all his children to live in peace and to have rest in every area of their lives. So whats the big hindrance then your asking?
Here it is, verses 16 & 17. Deuteronomy 30:16,17 You will see that the continuing verses also expand on this.
Deuteronomy 30:17,18.......17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

God is talking about our hearts, where does your love lie? Who has first place in your heart?
If you love me, keep my commandments. keep my word, obey it, follow it, know it and know me. I am the Lord your God.
Let the Lord God speak to your heart as you read and obey his word and enter into his rest.

SANCTIFY THEM

Sanctification.
To set apart as Holy. God has you in mind.

The Urgency
A prayer for sanctification by Jesus Christ for his disciple. As he was praying then he is praying now. It is written that he he, meaning Christ Jesus ever lives to make intercession for the saints, he is praying for you you and I. Jesus Christ is not against you, he is for you. he came to seek and to save that which was lost, that's us. For those who come to him through the sanctifying power of the word of God. His word will bring about sanctification in you if you let him.

Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your heart: Instead, open up your heart and life to his word, it is able to save you and make you free. Today is your day for a change of direction, change of kingdom. Time is running out and soon the world will know in an instant what has been told for decades. It is true, it was actually true all along! I imagine that's the reaction to countless millions of earth dwellers in that day. Jesus Christ said that he will come again and receive his own unto himself. He has left an invitation for you to be one with him and the father. The word of God is a written testament made in blood, an ever true gospel that doesn't change nor deceive lead you.

The Invitation
His truth stands sure today as when it was spoken back then. Give your heart God today, give your life to Jesus Christ today. You don't have time in your pocket that you can put it off as you wish. One day you may never get up from that bed of anguish, you may never see new-years day 2015. The truth is, you just don't know when your time will come, so take stock now and look at the truth of what God's word says and compare it to the voices in the world. It wont take long for you to realize that God really does love you. And he is not willing to leave you behind, God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. That means that God is willing for you to make a change, to choose him and go his way, to follow him and have eternal life with him when this life expires, and that can be at any moment. There is life to be had in Christ Jesus, abundant life. life filled with peace, joy and love. Yes you will have troubles here and there like everyone else, but you will have his grace to keep you in any situation, and when others are buckling you will be overcoming. It wont be easy but it will be worth it.

Sanctify Them
In John 17 Jesus Christ is praying for the disciples and as he prays, he comes to the verse 17. 'Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.' To sanctify something is to set it apart, to set apart for special use or for a purpose. To make holy, or set apart as holy. It is also linked to being in a state of perfection. If the believer can ever reach perfection before he is translated, it would be in the state of sanctification. Jesus is asking Father God to sanctify them, to sanctify them through his truth, and he says, 'Thy word is truth.'

1 Peter 1: 15,16 is greatly urging us the believer to be Holy. To set yourself apart, in mind and in body. Indeed God has set us apart and he is working in us the process of sanctification. It remains that you and i must be willing to keep on being sanctified, keep on being Holy, keep on being set apart. We often say to people that God has a spacial purpose for them: Yes indeed god has a special purpose for them, it starts with sanctification. Set apart for special use, holiness unto the Lord. How can i expect God to use me if i am not Holy, if i am not living a sanctified life? The sanctity of marriage is in it's fidelity. Set apart for only one person's use. Holiness unto the Lord. Without it we wont see him and he wont recognize us.




Truth

But how are we sanctified? the answer is through God's word. 1 Peter 1:25 concludes as it draws our attention the Gospel, the word which has been preached unto us. The word which we have received. By which we are saved in the first place, that word which keeps us in him and makes us one in him.

John 17

1 Peter 1

Christmas

It's funny that we were never told or required to celebrate Christ with a day called Christmas or Christmas day.  But there are many things we celebrate that we were never asked to, but we do it anyway.  Is it a bad thing though that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on a particular day? Well i don't think so.  The birth of Christ and his coming into the world is a worthy celebration, and should be encouraged in view of the fact that he will be returning again.  The world ain't gonna want to see his appearing as much as the baby in a manger version though.  why is that? well because this world is in darkness and love to have it so.  Everyone loves a good party and the sweeter it is the longer it's desired to be.  No one loves a party pooper. Some of us don't want to be told to repent and get right with God.  While some will welcome his appearing with longing open arms, others will hate it extremely.  Because men love darkness rather than light.  It is the sin nature within us that drives us away from the light of God. But if you make a choice to turn to God, he will give you the grace to walk right before him.

God will help you to overcome that situation that seems to control you.  As if you have no power at all to say no.  Instead of resigning to that thing, resign to God that thing whatsoever it is.  God will turn it around for you he will save and restore your strength, he stands poised ready to show himself great on your behalf.  But you have to submit to him and let God do it in you. Your problem, your sin your lust, your lying. stealing, hypocrisy, whatever that thing is in your life that gets the better of you, will have to bow to a greater power.  Let God in your heart and life today and let him take your burdens away off of you.

Jesus told the disciples that they will be hated by all nations for his names sake.  Christians will be the most hated people on planet earth in the years to come, when The new world leader takes his position.  He will be given the power to overcome the elect, the saints of God.  Yes that's you if you if your a christian in the tribulation period.  The realities of the times to come are so encroaching upon that it's hard to deny it's effects already.  Epic storms and catastrophes on a global scale that's ever increasing.  Economic chaos, the catalyst for new world order.  A new world of thinking and a new leader to control it all.  But how did i get from Christmas to end time prophesy? that's easy.  Because we all act like Jesus Christ is still a baby at Christmas time and then we forget about him till Easter. We forget all about him till someone blows up a building filled with so called innocent people.  The perpetrators don't think the people are innocent otherwise they wont kill them.  No, in the eyes of the Terror-Artist your guilty because you no different from the soldiers who resist them.  You just don't have a gun to protect yourself or defend your country.  They are bringing their fight to you, they aren't waiting to be attacked.

Not a baby anymore
Somewhere between Christmas and Easter we have failed to realize that Christ is really coming back again and he is coming for a church that is without spot and without wrinkle.  That means holy in spirit and in truth.  That's you and i making a daily choice to stay connected to Jesus from the heart.
What if he returns on Christmas day? that would be awesome, that is if we are all ready and not upstairs in the bedroom sleeping with the neighbor's wife.  Or having sweet fornication with that oh so cute babe or that hot guy.  Terminology may sound innocent enough in this app world but being caught with your pants down is a sure fire to miss your Lord when he comes looking for you.  The problem with waiting and time is that it can mess with your head.  You can find yourself doing and thinking things you never have before.  And before you get caught up in the addiction of that pleasure, learn to deny yourself.  Keep your garments white and spotless. Count the cost and consider what your trading, and if that fails do like Joseph. He just ran from that temptation.


This is just a snippet of a few thoughts.  So during this Christmas holiday season when your chicken is in the oven and the cakes are browning.  Just remember that Jesus loves you so much that he came, was born as the son of man, was beaten and tortured, died, rose again from the dead to secure your soul, purchased your ticket to eternal life with him.  No matter what you suffer it will never compare to the price Jesus paid for you.  You just have to ask yourself one question, is that sin worth of your eternal soul?

Have wonderful Christ-Celebration.

ETERNITY

ETERNITY
It would seem we are all closer to the moment of impact.  The moment when this mortal must put on
immortality.  It is not what you have or who you know in this life that secures you in the life to come, but it is the salvation that comes by no other.  That other being Christ Jesus.  The promised one, the Messiah, the savior of the whole world. Jesus said, if a man lives and believes in me, he shall never die.  And if a man believes in me though he were dead, yet shall he live.  Death is certain and it is also certain that life after death is at the point of impact.  That moment one passes from death to life.

John 11
So if a man lives and believes in Jesus Christ, he shall never die.  How is that possible and relevant to you and i in these days of future past? Well let us observe that the one who makes this declaration is the one who made life itself. And being disconnected from the source of life, which is Christ, means certain death.  If a man lives and believe in me, he shall never die, why? because that man /woman, upon the moment of receiving Jesus into their hearts as Lord and savior, will at that point be ushered into eternity before it begins. It's like having the golden ticket, once you got it, your in. It has started, you now have that eternal life that Jesus says is yours because you believe in/on him.  This means that you trust your life to him, you have confessed your sins to him and repented of them. Your life is no longer yours but his.  Christ now has become Lord and king of your soul, your spirit, your will. And daily you live, holding on to that golden ticket called eternal life in Christ, that not even death can rob you of.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
It's like holding the ticket and waiting in the cue to enter in.  To that party that Jesus is the life of.  While your waiting outside, your in the world.  When you walk through the door, you've passed from this world. Your in.  Death where is thy sting, grave, where is your victory. The sting of death is sin.  The strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The reality that eternity is waiting at the gate on the lives of every human being on the face of the earth, and we are reminded with each passing day by the lives of those we knew and loved and heard of.  We are burdened with the reality and feel some pain of the loss.  Because we are all human beings and not aliens from outer space.  It is a sad thing to lose a loved one to say the least and words cannot express it enough. Jesus knows this oh so well and through him we have the victory over the grave.

The Second Death
The sting of death is sin. the only power death has over you is the is the sin in your life. That sin drives you to death, but this is not death as we know it.  This death is not just the mere expenditure of present life but the eternal separation from the giver of life. Yes we all will face death at some point and that's inevitable.  But to be separated from God for all eternity is the sting that sin puts into death.  In the garden of Eden when Satan tempted man to disobey God.  God had told man that the day he takes of the tree and eats the fruit, that he will die.  Yes indeed that was the truth as only God speaks.  On the day man disobeyed, he died.  Sin came alive and Adam and Eve died.  The separation between God and man began and the next thing that will be man's demise would be the grave. So mankind faces 2 types of death.  Like the sun and the moon.  A greater light to rule the day and a lesser light to rule the night.  Separation from God is to die in your sins and then death by physical expiration.  Romans 6

Colossians 3
But thanks be to God who gives us the victory.  The victory that even though we die physically, yet we have life in Christ.  The giver of life, the victor over sin, death and the grave.  That in Jesus Christ though you die yet shall you live.  Not just exist but having eternal life, never to die again.  To be restored to newness of life, in a new body.  An eternal body that will never again be limited to time and space. There is much promised to those who will say yes to that eternal question. We are called by our loving heavenly father who gave his all to reconcile us back to himself. Will you take the opportunity to make it right with him today? and be ready for Eternity.

OVERCHARGED WITH SURFEITING

We are living in an Overcharged Time
& it only getting worse, so what do we do? 

There is a warning that Jesus Christ gave his disciples before he was crucified, and the warning is extended to us in this day and age.  The warning seems more relevant for us today than when it was spoken back then.  Jesus said in Luke 21:32-35 we should be careful to not let our hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, drunkenness and the cares of this life and so that day takes us unawares. For as a snare shall it ensnare everyone on the face earth.  He is saying don't let that be your fate.

Jesus was talking with his disciples about their time and the times ahead of them after his departure.  He at the same time is speaking to us concerning the days ahead of us before his return.  And he is warning us to be on guard for what will cause us to miss out on our election.  As if to say, Jesus does not want us to go through or experience the The Great Tribulation.  Why would he? the chances that we would be more faithful in our walk of faith in those times are slim to none.  Chances are most of us wont make it during the tribulation period.  Yes there will be a remnant that will come through the great tribulation but you don't want to be a hero.  You want to be ready for the Rapture.  You want to be accounted worthy to escape the time of temptation, that will try everyone on the face of the earth.

A Time of Wrath
People sometimes make a joke about these things and mark it down to just religious fantasy but we are hard press today to not recognize that the Bible is actually right.  That what God says in his word is not actually happening today.  The fool have said in his heart that there is no God.  We are more ready and accepting of evil and wrong doing than we are of accepting that God sent his son Jesus Christ to redeem us from the wages of sin.  We try to hold on to our sinful nature because in it we love our wicked and corrupt deeds.  Most of these deeds are pleasurable, we enjoy them while they last.  We don't want to be reminded of the consequences, we want our own way, so leave us alone we say.

Overcharged Surfeiting
As i was reading this chapter my concentration was drawn to these 2 words.  As i looked up the words spoken by Jesus in the book of Luke chapter 21.  I noticed that these words speaks of excessive overindulgence.  We are living in a time of just that.  Technology is advancing at an alarming rate, no sooner than we have adopted to one format in comes another one making the previous obsolete.  Unnecessary waste is being accumulated on an unprecedented level. News of minerals and metals are being used to point of Oblivion   Yes i know i am being a bit dramatic but nonetheless it is the truth.  We are full of knowledge and and stuffed to capacity of things, and while we are getting to grips with the last thing, in comes another.  How many social media sites can we all be on at the same time? I have so many passwords now i have to write them down, i don't bother tying to remember them anymore.  Jesus is warning us of a time that will consume our every moment crammed full of input.  And he is warning us to not be overcharged with surfeiting.  He goes on to warn us about drunkenness, and the cares of this life.  On top of all that's happening in the world and in our lives, don't let these things drive you to drunkenness.  Drunkenness can take the form of being made numb to the excessive trials and stresses we face by seeking to be numbed to it.  Drink, drugs and pleasures that only numb us but never give us peace.  The cares of this life, things that take priority in our lives that render us unfruitful and unprepared and overly busy.   So caught up in every new thing, running to and fro to catch this and learn about that and to see whats next.  Overcharged with Surfeiting.  It is those who are caught up in the cares of this life that will not be ready at his intervention.  The intervention is an event you and i are called to be apart of.  Time to leave is the call to be ready.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Roman 1:28
The human condition is that the further away from God we move our hearts, the more reprobate we become   We start calling evil good and good evil, we can no longer tell what is good or evil, it's all seems to have been rolled into one.  Like a backward ideology, like a reverse purity.  God then gives us over to those things we love the most, he allows you to do what you want, even if it kills you, because he wont force us to be holy.  But if we humble our selves then there is forgiveness and healing.  There is newness of life and a fresh start.  God's way is perfect, even when i don't understand or think it is best for me.  His way is best for you and i.  If we trust him with what is most difficult in our lives he always makes a way of escape.  God will never allow us to be tempted above what we are able but will with that temptation also make a way of escape for us, so we will be able to bear it.  There are some things God wont remove from your life but if you will lean on him with all you've got, he will show himself mighty on your behalf.  God is not mean, he is a father.  God is Holy.

The Warning
But what of the warning, why heed it? Because we are called to be ready.  The warning is more like advanced knowledge.  Here are the plans and this is how to be ready, all you gotta do is stick to this plan and you will be safe.  If you don't then your putting your life in grave danger and perhaps those around you, so stick to the plan.  When i say we i mean all who are walking by faith in Jesus Christ.  Who have made that decision to live their  lives with Jesus Christ our Lord and personal savior.  Who desire do this thing called life, God's way.  It is not enough to know something about Christ or to have grown up in a christian home.  Or even have righteous values with integrity in heart.  All our rightness is filthiness unless we lay it all down at his feet in repentance.  Unless we are willing to admit that my best is not good enough, we must confess that his best is good enough for us and so we are living in his righteousness.  Not our own.  So when when someone brings pressure on you to prove it, then we point them to the one who did.  We point them to the perfect one.  The one who paid it all for us all to have the gift of salvation.

Get Prepared
Today, if have heard his voice, then don't harden your heart but give in to the love of God that's constantly calling you.  Today is the day of salvation for you.  The fact that you woke up this morning is proof to you that God has allowed you to be alive another day, to come and get to know him.  To be made apart of his kingdom and be made secure in his grace as he keeps you.  Yes God keeps all his children, are you willing to be a son/daughter? are you desirous of a new life and a longing to be transformed as it were?  If your reading this then your next step will determine your destiny.  Just talk with God, pray in your own words and tell him everything, pour it out to the Lord Jesus Christ, he knows your hurts and pains but he needs your permission to start the healing process in your heart and life.  When you finished telling him all your heart then ask him to come into your heart and make you a child of God.  You are guaranteed your prayers will be answered.  Do it today, do it now.  Bless you.

SNOWDEN'S LAW OF DISCLOSURE

Snowden's Law of Disclosure 

Opinion of an onlooker  
All the US has to do is make him the spokesman for how better the Surveillance system can be. Instead of arresting him and adding to the flame which is now the most undisclosed breach of trust any government has committed.  In short, reassign him.  A New job, call it intelligent damage control.  That way they wont loose his skills in prison and they could turn this fiasco around.  Albeit, the Cat is most certainly out of the bag.  Totally pointless to arrest this fellow, they cant make him an enemy of the state, they done that themselves already. Who are they? The powers that be! 

The Woman Caught in Adultery
It's like Jesus and the woman who was caught in adultery.  Jesus said to the her accusers, Let him who is without sin first cast a stone at her....They were so gutted, hypocrites the lot, all they could do is drop their stones and walk away.  Jesus said to her, neither do i condemn you, go and sin no more. That's my Lord Jesus Christ.

Message to Snowden.
Snowden if you read this Blog, i say to you, just give your life to Jesus Christ.  Repent of all your sins and be born again.  The whole ten yards.  Then turn yourself over to the authorities.  You wont lose your life but you will have new life in Christ no matter where you are.  No matter they do to you. You will never be alone.  Because Jesus said, he will never leave you not forsake you.  And if you turn to him with your whole heart, he will not turn you away, he will not condemn you.  You will have great peace and joy in the holy spirit.

What about laws?
If Snowden has broken the law, how about God's law and principle of marriage? that is only meant to be between a man and a woman.  They took and reconfigured it so it promotes a sinful act by making it law.  There is more than one way to skin a Cat. If we leave God to be judge, he will and can do a much better job of hitting evil where it hurts.  The US should be on notice.  It is written that unless God watches the city, the watchmen wakes up but in vain.  Cant even protect ones self from a a few desert guys with with rusty guns.  All the security and surveillance and no one could stop 3 suicide bombers with rucksacks and 2 airplanes. Repent of your evil and seek God's protection, and stop using technology to enslave and entrap the human race.  If you don't repent and change your ways, you will watch as these same systems you set in place becomes your downfall.  Remember Haman, mordecai and the gallows

Acts 17:31
God has chosen a time in which he will judge the earth.  So make the most of this time now to repent and know him who said he loved the world in so much that he gave his only son to redeem us.  To redeem us from the from the hour that will try every soul that lives on the face of this planet. Men seem to forget that God sees all things and if he wants to reveal something........He Can, yes he Can.
