"THE OATH!"

Luke 1:70-75                     (KJV)
"70 As HE spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember HIS holy covenant;
73 "THE OATH" which HE sware to our father Abraham,
74 That HE would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve HIM without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before HIM, all the days of our life.




Many are aware that whenever the name of JESUS, or HOLY SPIRIT, or GOD is used in my posts, I try to capitalize the name.  It is not an attempt to make me appear holy, but to alert those who might read that a reference to Deity is being made.  A degree of reverence should be made when one is speaking about the Creator.  Humanity is rapidly losing all "honor" and "respect" for the ONE who spoke the worlds into existence.

And that lack of "respect" and "honor"'begins with leadership.  "THE OATH" that United States Senators and Congressmen are required to take is as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me GOD."  To become a member of the Senate or House of Representatives, you must recognize GOD in your oath!

However, in an effort to NOT put all the blame on leadership for the decline in our society,  every person born has the privilege to reach out to a HOLY GOD and to have HIS SPIRIT live inside of our body (John 17:23) !   Not only did GOD create our remarkable bodies, HE created earth in all it's grandeur for us to inhabit!

"THE OATH" GOD made to Abraham has been kept by HIM in spite of the unfaithfulness of HIS children.  In Genesis 12:1-3 GOD told Abraham "I WILL" make thee a great nation, "I WILL" bless thee, and " I WILL" bless those who bless you!  "THE OATH" from GOD is not like modern day contract that can be broken.  We gravitate toward fulfilling our fleshly desires, yet GOD loves and protect us anyway.  We can rest assured in knowing that GOD keeps "THE OATH" HE made with Abraham!  GOD will bless those who bless HIS children!  But the final part of "THE OATH" says GOD will "curse him that curseth thee"!  It is wonderful that we get to choose our destiny!  But keep in mind, GOD is loving, AND JUST!  HE will keep "THE OATH"!
