Hi ha dues ombres a la vida, on una persona pot habitar. Una persona pot romandre a l'ombra de l'Altíssim o una persona pot romandre a l'ombra de la mort. diuen els cristians, that they abide in the shadow of the Almighty God. Però és cert?? It is so easily said, but what does it mean to abide in the shadow of the Most High? When do you abide in the shadow of the Most High and when do you abide in the shadow of death according to the Bible?
What is the shadow of death?
When man was misled by the lie of the devil and rebelled against God and sinned, la mort va entrar en l'home, and the spirit of man died and man came under the authority of the devil and his kingdom and lived in the shadow of death.
Man belonged to the death and every person, who would be born, would be born as a sinner in the kingdom of darkness and live in the shadow of death and after natural death enters hades.
El vell (Home caigut) is bound to the kingdom of darkness and belongs to death.
As long as a person is not born again and the flesh remains alive, death shall reign as king in the person’s life and the person shall abide in the shadow of death.
When do you abide in the shadow of death?
When a person abides in the shadow of death, the carnal mind of the person shall be darkened and controlled by the kingdom of darkness. Everything the person does originate from the darkened mind and through the influence and control of the kingdom of darkness and its powers.
Therefore a person, who abides in the shadow of death shall do unrighteous works and produce the fruit of death, que és pecat.
The person shall live after the flesh and be sense-ruled and do the works of the flesh and persevere in sin, whereby a person doesn’t please God but the devil. Because sin doesn’t please God, but grieves God and causes separation.
Sin pleases the devil and exalts and honors the devil and empowers him (Llegiu també: ‘El poder del diable és impulsat pel pecat )
The valley of death is the place, where death reigns through sin. And because death reigns, the result will become visible in the natural realm, which is perceivable by the senses of man.
What is the shadow of the Most High?
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined (Isaïes 9:2)
La gent que estava asseguda a les tenebres va veure una gran llum; i als qui s'asseien a la regió i a l'ombra de la mort la llum va sorgir (has dawned) (Mateu 4:16)
And thou child, S'anomenarà el profeta del més alt: perquè aneu davant la cara del Senyor per preparar els seus camins; to give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission(el perdó) dels seus pecats, through the tender mercy of our God; per la qual cosa la presa de dies ens ha visitat, per donar llum als qui seuen a les tenebres i a l'ombra de la mort, to guide our feet into the way of peace (Luke 1:76-79)
Jesús és l'única Persona, who can redeem man from the power of darkness and the shadow of death.
Therefore the only way to be redeemed from the shadow of death and the power of the kingdom of darkness is by faith in Jesus Christ and regeneració en ell; la mort de la carn i la resurrecció de l'esperit d'entre els morts.
Mitjançant la regeneració, your flesh has been crucified in Christ and your spirit is raised from the dead, whereby you no longer abide in the shadow of death and live in the kingdom of darkness, being controlled by the spirits of the kingdom of darkness (el món), but you shall abide in the shadow of the Most High and live in His Kingdom and be controlled by His Holy Spirit.
Qui ens ha alliberat del poder de les tenebres, i ens ha traslladat al regne del seu estimat Fill: En qui tenim la redempció mitjançant la seva sang, fins i tot el perdó dels pecats (Colossencs 1:13-14)
Mitjançant la regeneració, you have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, on Jesucrist és rei i regna.
When do you abide in the shadow of the Most High?
Perquè satisfà l’ànima anhelant, I ompliu l’ànima famolenc de bondat. Such as sit in darkenss and in the shadow of death, estar lligat en aflicció i ferro; Perquè es van rebel·lar contra les paraules de Déu, and contemned (despised) the counsel of the Most High: Per tant, va fer caure el cor amb la mà d’obra; Van caure, I no n’hi havia cap per ajudar. Llavors van cridar al Senyor en la seva aflicció, i els va salvar de les seves angoixes. Els va treure de la foscor i de l’ombra de la mort, i frenar les seves bandes a Sunder. Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men! (Salm 107:9-15)
You shall no longer rebel against the words of God and abide in the shadow of death and your mind shall no longer be darkened by lies and be controlled by the powers of the kingdom of darkness and bear the fruit of death, which is sin and persevere in sin and be unhappy and dejected and live in depression and fear. But you shall abide in the shadow of the Most High.
Qui habita al lloc secret de l'Altíssim romandrà a l'ombra del Totpoderós (Salms 91:1)
You shall abide in the shadow of the Most High and because your mind is enlightened with the Truth of God and He reigns in your life, you shall walk after the Word and the Spirit and produce the fruit of the Spirit and do righteous works and be joyful, satisfied and live in the peace of God.
You will rejoice in Him and you shall obey God and His Word and walk in His will and you shall do all those things, which please the Lord and exalt Him.
You shall no longer trust and rely on yourself and the world and walk in darkness, but you shall put your trust in God and rely on His Word and you shall walk by faith according to His Word in the light.
As long as you obey God and abide in Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit, you shall abide in His shadow and walk in His authority and power and reign over your flesh, pecat, and death and over the whole army of the enemy, who tries to seduce the people to sin and cause them to rebel against God and live in rebellion against God.
Abiding in the shadow of the Most High in the valley of death
Sí, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: perquè estàs amb mi; they rod and thy staff they comfort me (Salm 23:4)
Although the world is in decline and evil is present and sin reigns supreme, you shall not be moved and shall not be afraid, because you trust in God and rely on His Word and stand on His Word and don’t deviate from His Word.
You know that the Most High is with you and protects you. His Word and His Holy Spirit abide in you and shall lead you, comfort you, and keep you.
The world abides in the shadow of death
When we look around, we see that the world abides in the shadow of death. Sin is so great, that evil and death reign and cause destruction and make many victims. How did it get this far? It could have gotten this far, because the Church has neglected her task and has gone her own way instead of keeping God’s way and do His will on earth (Llegiu també: ‘La núvia emancipada de Crist‘).
Many churches are not spiritual anymore, but they are carnal and soulish and instead of being witnesses of Jesus Christ and preach the words of God, they are ashamed of Him and His words and have changed and adjusted His words so that it fits into their carnal lives and the world.
They have changed the gospel and compromised with the world, to avoid persecution and to prevent people, que pertanyen al món, from being offended.
They are focused upon their own well-being and prosperity in the world and in their pride, they have gone after their own will, instead of submitting unto God and His Word and do His will and represent, establish and bring His Kingdom to the people, who are seated in darkness.
Because of that sin has rampant and has taken more and more ground, whereby death has increased its power. Sí, death has gained more power, even from Christians, who confess Jesus with their mouth but serve the devil with their hearts and lives and deny Jesus Christ and persevere in sin. Their hearts are not circumcised in Jesus Christ, but their hearts still belong to the devil, whereby they still want to do the lusts of their father (Llegiu també: ‘La circumcisió al Nou Pacte’)
And so the world abides in the shadow of death and death has seduced many believers of the church with his lies and carried them away and caused the lights to become weaker and even extinguished in many places.
Is it possible to change that? Absolutament, but the question is, whether people are willing to pay the price.
