"Marked"

"The LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace." (Psalms 29:11) Do you really want to know the best thing about believing the entire Word of God, and not taking anything away from all that He has spelled out for us to know about Him? Well, I am not going to tell you if you do, because that is something you need to find out for yourself. However, I will say this, that once you have really seen the Gift you can't turn back! I find it a little interesting that the Antichrist will establish a mark for everyone to get on their forehead or hand; a mark that represents the number of his name (Revelation 13:16-18). Counterfeit ruler, that's what the devil is; he creates an order of spiritual smoke and mirrors, and a kingdom that is destined to pass away; yet he continues to get people to buy into his great deceptions. There will be many that will gladly take the mark, wearing it as a badge of honor to the "image of the beast" (Revelation 13:14-15); which will most likely be those that get one on their foreheads, so they can proudly display the mark for everyone to know how much they worship the beast and his image. The "marks" that Paul was speaking of in Galatians 6:17, are the sufferings and trials that he had endured for Christ, and how those sufferings and trials marked him as faithful and approved soldier and servant of the Lord. Those were marks upon his flesh, that flesh which is crucified with Christ, and is destined to pass away. But spiritually, Paul was marked by God; given great peace and strength to get through each and every trial that came upon him. That's the "mark" of God which we proudly display as believers in the One True God; because we know He will never ever forsake us, and His kingdom will remain for ever and ever..."Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen" (Galatians 6:18)
