Micah 4:10 says, “Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.” (Mic. 4:10). Revelation 17:18 says, “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” (Rev. 17:18). Jesus came to earth, conceived by the Holy Ghost, in the virgin, Mary, born of the virgin, Mary, espoused to Joseph (Matt. 1:18-25). He had brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3). He started His earthly ministry at about the age of thirty (Luke 3:23). And for three and a half years, He healed, did miracles, and forgave sins. And at Passover in 31 A.D., Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried, and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

Evil, Sin and Redemption – Part 3
Evil, Sin and Redemption – How do we remove evil from the earth? – Part 3
It is amazing, the closer God draws me to Him and His ways, the more obvious and blatant evil has become to me, not only in this world, but in my life and personal circumstances as well. It is no small fall that man has had from what we were created to be before we chose to eat from the fruits of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17). But can we get back to this state of “very good”? That is the question. This week I will talk about the topic of “removing” evil from this earth using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, the one prayer that Jesus suggested was written in a couple of the books of the New Testament. Amongst the things Jesus suggested we pray for was; “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matt. 6:10 KJV). This is the key, we need to be seeking out God’s Kingdom, pressing towards the goal daily to experience it and find it (Matt. 7:7). There are multiple promises that God’s Kingdom would be established here on earth, and its seeds have already been planted in you and I through the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ testimony almost 2000 years ago. All we need to do is be patient, pray and give praise to God in our daily lives to experience His peace and prepare for His coming in all His glory!

Next, Ghandi had some encouraging words during his life time. He said, “Be the change you would like to see in the world”. This is the key; I have often heard that “If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem”. We need to constantly be looking at ourselves and reassessing our actions and habits we have in our daily lives, asking God to help us change any that are not producing the fruits that are pleasing to Him! This of course takes faith and requires that we start a relationship with our Creator in the first place. But once that is started you are off to the races!

It was not long ago I was worshipping God and an idea came to mind that this would be the way that evil would be cast from the earth. It seems like such a simple task to worship God, but it is a daily task and it can be done second by second wherever we are. One of the greatest forms of worship is undoubtedly gratitude, giving thanks, praising God! The challenge may lay in giving thanks in ALL circumstances, but once we learn to give thanks when we are in the very pit that we never asked or imagined we could ever get ourselves into then you have undoubtedly found Jesus Christ there (Proverbs 15:3, Psalm 34:18)!
