Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

 Who can know what has been forfeited by the casual attitude of a significant number of humankind toward life? What witty inventions and cures have been lost by the casual and/or irreverent attitude toward life? God created man (Genesis 1:26-28) with free-will; yet desires that we choose life and blessings, and walk in divine love. Yet a significant number of humans are tricked by Lucifer to opt for that which is contrary to the way of God. Biblical history reflects that the primary goal of the thief (John 10:10a) is the prevention of life via birth as well as the quality of life thereafter. Genesis 6 relays the fact that our ever-faithful God determined to rid the earth of increasing wickedness. Surely, the curse pronounced by Noah upon one son (Genesis 9:18-25) didn’t help. (Truly Abba Father is most patient concerning the good intentions of mankind to speed-up God’s timeline; such as Sarai’s decision to have Abram marry her servant to push along God’s promise of a child.) Nevertheless, Noah’s pronounced blessing upon another son set in motion the seed of righteousness in the earth via Shem. As delineated in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-36, from the line of Shem would come the father of faith – Abraham through whom was Isaac to Jacob to Judah to Perez to Hezron to Ram to Amminadab to Nashon to Salmon to Boaz (whose mother was Rahab the prostitute who hid those who spied out the land) to Boaz to Obed to Jesse to David (2 Samuel 7:16). From David to Solomon to Rehoboam to Abijah to Asa to Jehoshaphat to Joram to Uzziah to Jotham to Ahaz to Hezekiah to Manasseh to Amon to Josiah. From Jeconiah to Shealtiel to Zerubbabel to Abiud to Eliakim to Azor to Zadok to Akim to Eliud to Eleazar to Matthan to Jacob to Joseph the husband of Mary (both of the ancestry of David). Only the Sovereign Lord God Almighty is Omniscient – He knows everything including the hearts and minds of man (i.e., male, female) whereas Lucifer doesn’t. Rather, the modus operandi of Lucifer is to perpetrate by planting thoughts beginning first with the cohort – doubt which ushers in fear. Herod’s fear attempted to thwart the plan of God by the killing of infants (Matthew 2:16-18) but the angel of God warned Joseph who acted to safely relocate the family. The mystery of God’s plan to reconcile mankind unto Himself began to unfold with the birth of YESHUA/JESUS. Lucifer would then attempt the demise of the Messiah, first by temptation (Luke 4:1-11) and subsequently by perpetrating the crucifixion through those to whom He was sent. However, revelation knowledge by the Holy Spirit relays such as pre-planned before the beginning of the world (2 Timothy 1:9-10). “7 . . . a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory.  8  None of the rulers of this age knew it. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 (MEV). Lucifer is a defeated foe, no longer with the legal authority handed-over by the first man – Adam, who used free-will to act contrary to God’s advice, because YESHUA/JESUS defeated him at the cross (Genesis 2:15-17 & 3:1-12; Colossians 2:15; Romans 5:17). All authority given the Name above all names is bestowed unto all “in Him” – you and I. Hallelujah!
