What is the Mark of the Anti-Chirst?

Good Morning Beloved,
Well it is foggy and misty outside so that makes it a good day to stay inside and study God's Word.   Here goes..  remember now if you don't agree with anything you see here , there is a comment line at the bottom and we can learn and study together, okay

Have you ever thought much about the " mark of the anti-Christ", and what it might be?
Is it sin?   The Greek word, ' hamartano'   and it means literally  ' to miss the mark' and it is used in 2 Peter 2:4; sinning against God, by angels. Now the same word is used in Matthew 27:4 ( man, sinning against God)  Judas says, I have sinned ( hamartano, missed the mark). So , could you conclude then that sin is " the mark of the anti-Christ?  That would then be called  disobedience, correct?
Now then what would you think that the mark of God would be?  If sin ( disobedience) is  the mark of the anti- Christ, then it would make sense that the mark of God would be obedience; would you agree?
Would you please go and read Deuteronomy 6:1-17 , pay close attention to v. 17,
" diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God".  This would be obedience.
Look at Matthew 22: 34-40........ obedience to the law;   Now, folks right here in Matthew 22:40 it says it all and it is just two laws!  Obey these two laws and that is it, obedience . ( We can look at these laws in another writing)
So the question is: What mark will you chose, disobedience ( like the world ,sin) or obedience ( spiritual , like in eternal) ?  It will be your choice.  God has given us what we need to make the eternal choice , it's called The Word of God, ( Bible).  We are man( human)  and we will make mistakes but isn't it nice to know that everyday we have the chance to be renewed?   Read Lamentations 3: 22-23 ..  this is about the mercy that is renewed every morning.  
Obeying the Word of God everyday is going to be what I chose to do...
Will I fall short?  Yes of course I will and do, but I can get down on my knees and repent and ask forgiveness and know that with a right heart in asking I will be forgiven.   When ever I read in the Word I learn something new... Today I have learned that I want to bear the mark of God and that it is the obedience of God and the fruit of the Spirit.
God Bless you and always, always check out the Word for yourself.....
tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus. Vickie

Why Write a Blog?

Good Evening Beloved.


Do you know why I write this blog?  I ask myself that many times.. I don't seem to have many
folks read it....  That's okay I guess.  If just one person reads it and gets something from it then
I guess it has been a good thing to do.... I love words.  I like to say them and I like to read them
and I like to write them also.  I am not much of a writer but that too is okay.   I like to write about
things I am thinking about..  mostly about what I am learning in my relationship with God .( The
Creator of all things)
I just started reading a booked call Ministering through Spiritual Gifts by Charles F. Stanley.
Lesson  One.....
1.) Do you know what your ministering gift (s) are?  How are you using them?  Do you share with others these gifts?
2.) What are some of the things you like to do in the natural?  Make a list of the things you are a
natural at.
Well, I have thought about it some..    I love words..  That comes to me naturally. So I would have to say that is one of the gifts I have received. 
I love to tell people about Jesus Christ... He died for my sins a long time ago...... I love to tell people that if you are ever in a tight spot and need help all you have to do is call on Jesus Christ and He is always right there, right on time.... So I would say that words come to me naturally .
So, I am using my gift of words to tell you that God loves you so much and He just wanted you to know and today He used me to tell you...
Smile and remember that it is a gift from God for you to share everywhere you go .
God Bless you today and everyday.
tenderly your sister in Christ, vickie
