Luke 1:26-38

Friends, today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

In 1854, Pope Pius IX declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception—the truth that Mary, through a special grace, was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her conception. 

Were this not the case, the angel would not have referred to her at the Annunciation as Kecharitomene (full of grace). Why would God do such a thing? And wouldn’t this imply that Mary does not need to be redeemed? 

The traditional answer is that God wanted to prepare a worthy vessel for the reception of his Word. Just as the Holy of Holies in the temple was kept pure and inviolate, so the definitive Temple, the true Ark of the Covenant, which is Mary herself, should all the more be untrammeled. 

Bl. John Duns Scotus explained that Mary is indeed redeemed by the grace of her Son, but since that grace exists outside of time, it can be applied in a way that transcends the ordinary rhythms of time. Therefore, Mary, by a kind of preemptive strike, was delivered by Christ’s grace from original sin.

Check out this amazing rock!
Our Father is so great and powerful that he creates things as beautiful as this,
and buries them under the ground for us to find later!

I find myself appreciating His amazing #Creation more and more every day!
We get so distracted either watching stupid sh*t on television, or else being indoctrinated by schools or the "News" or just being the #Slave of the
"money printers" who have duped us all into "consenting" to be their Slave...

that we don't often enough just appreciate the magnificent beauty of His Creation!
You know, like Psalm 19:1 says "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the #Firmament shows His handy work"....

And that is just the heavens!
Look around RIGHT HERE ON EARTH!

"Big Bang" my a**!
We have the honor of living in an amazing, magical, and very beautiful place...
Created for us by the greatest, and most powerful Artist of all time!

A place capable of abundance for ALL, forced into scarcity by men who print money and worship #Satan by way of OUR OWN CONSENT!

I feel blessed just to finally realize that, after a whole lot of years too busy to notice!
And you know what???

I NEVER "Consented" to giving ANYONE control over my life, or the earth which I was given dominion over by it's Creator! And it's about time that we remedy this

ONLY YOU can choose to NOT consent!
You ALWAYS have a choice!

Take a look around....
And then you tell me that ALL OF CREATION is not worth fighting over!

The criminals may have deceived y parents and grandparents out of their consent...
But they have NEVER gotten mine!

Matthew 7:21,
Matthew 7:24-27

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus closes his Sermon on the Mount by showing us the importance of applying his teaching: “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse.”

This is the heart of it: if you are rooted in God, then you can withstand anything, precisely because you are linked to that power which is creating the cosmos. You will be blessed at the deepest place, and nothing can finally touch you.

But the one who does not take Jesus’ words to heart “will be like the fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.” When the inevitable trials come, the life built on pleasure, money, power, or fame will give way.

So the question is a simple one: Where do you stand? How goes it with your heart? On what, precisely, is the whole of your life built?

Revelation
Chapter 1

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

I hope this blesses you the way it blessed me!
I Lv e, Lv e Lv e this!

Absolutely it is!

This is a fantastic documentary that could be 110% better if it's creators were aware of (Or did not hide) the FACT that the earth is an ENCLOSED SYSTEM, and is FLAT & STATIONARY! If you believe in what your bible tells you, I want you to open to PAGE 1, GENESIS 1, and read down to verse 10!

YHWH "separated the waters from the waters."

Genesis 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Genesis 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

There are several misleading parts within this documentary, like when the man claims that during creation "We now have a water ball in space."

WHERE IS THAT IN THE TEXT???

No folks, "space" does not exist, #NASA is a Satanic organization of deception, and the earth is FLAT and STATIONARY just like the bible tells you it is! COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOUR BIBLE SAYS "The earth shall not be moved"
Go and count them!

Count how many times your bible says the earth has "foundations."

This documentary would be perfect if it told the TRUTH about our earth being a flat and stationary PLANE and the Sun, Moon, and stars are "Lights in the sky"
(within the firmament) just like the bible tells us it is.

I respect the creators of this documentary, they could just be brainwashed into believing in "Space" and all of that nonsense, just like the rest of us were! But I have found that Hollywood and "Science so-called" always uses deception in this area.

There is no demonstrable "curvature" to the earth's surface. This ALONE proves without a shadow of a doubt that the earth is flat! Don't believe me? I challenge you to "Prove the #Globe" you believe in!

That is what I tried to do, and is why now I know the TRUTH.... That there is no proof to the claim the earth is a sphere! It's all a Satanic LIE. It is likely "The great delusion" spoken of in your bible! Have a blessed day and READ YOUR BIBLE! Go check out Rob Skiba's "Testing the Globe" website, there is a lot of information there!

Most importantly though...
PRAISE YHWH and admire His perfect Creation!
A living Testament to His greatness and power!

Walk in His statutes and be humble!

Luke Chapter Nineteen – Blessed Is The King

https://pilgrimdevotions.com/luke-chapter-nineteen-blessed-is-the-king/

YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS A SINNER!

As are we all
This is why our Father sent His only begotten Son!

Our bill has been PAID...
All we must do is to accept His gift!

Our reservation has been made already....
All that we must do is to show up and put our #Faith and Trust into Him!

And REPENT of our sins... this part is pretty important as well
And that's it!

I lived in this world for 53 years,
and I THOUGHT that I had accumulated a lot of knowledge

But the very day that I asked for forgiveness, my eyes were opened to a world that I never even knew existed! I was a BLIND MAN with 20/20 vision!

I NOW SEE that He truly CAN cure the blind!
I'm living, breathing PROOF of it!

It reminds me of this verse.....
And btw... I feel VERY BLESSED!!!

Luke 10:24
“For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”

I thank the Most High EVERY DAY for removing the veil from my eyes!

How is wishing someone to have a blessed night an encroachment of "Christian Nationalism?" And what is so bad about wanting your nation to become a Christian nation anyway?
