  • God Keeps Books on You

    While Pastor Greg Laurie is not a preacher in good standing here at Landover Baptist Church, once in a while he says things we have known forever and need to be repeated.

    Laurie said last Sunday that God keeps records on all of us. He records sins. Every person that chooses to sin needs to remember this. God does not simply forget these sins. We here at Landover Baptist keep good records on people also. Our records are not as good as God's but we know when you have sinned. We tell you for your own good.
    Greg Laurie: God Documents Actions of Every Human Through the 'Books in Heaven'




    California evangelist and megachurch pastor Greg Laurie said during his sermon on Sunday that God uses the books in Heaven to keep records and tallies of every action good and bad committed by all ...
    Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

    Your posts are always encouraging and I was reminded of Ezekiel when he received instructions from God. Books take many forms; we're familiar with the coffee-table book and of course pop-up varieties are always popular. Perhaps the sins of infants are recorded like that? In Ezekiel's case the book was in the form of a roll. God commanded him to eat it.

    EZEKIEL 2 .KJV
    8
    But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
    9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
    10a And he spread it before me


    Pagans, wiccans, savages and heathens together with Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and the Mormon/scientology cult, imagine they can just make up any old garbage and indoctrinate themselves to high Heaven (which in the latter case seems to involve cross-breeding with aliens) but God is clear. The bliss they yearned for in rebellion against Him yields anguish, grief and woe.

    EZEKIEL 2 .KJV
    10b
    It was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
    3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
    2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
    3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.


    The Israelites were revolting as usual with the usual consequences in spite of all the evidence God provided for His majesty and power. And therefore His existence. Deliverance from Egypt, the Ten Commandments, a Promised Land, prophecy fulfilled and heathen priests annihilated, but no. Knowing what would happen if they rejected God's Love they opted for lamentations and mourning.

    When John received a vision enabling him to understand thunder, God told him not to translate the thunder as he was about to do but to eat another little book. The similarities are striking, confirming that both men were in communion with the same God, but the salient feature here is that God had a message for many peoples rather than just for The Israelites.

    REVELATION 10 .KJV
    1a
    I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven..
    2a And he had in his hand a little book open..
    4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not..
    9 I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
    10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
    11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.


    When we look how God has preserved His words for us in The Bible over thousands of years and see how consistent His revelations have been, what doubts can remain that Jesus has recorded the transgressions of heathens, pagans et al., that He will be reading them and that they will not deteriorate over time? Here on earth we inhabit a realm of corruptibility and yet Scripture has prevailed. Jesus and the written record however already exist in the Realm of Incorruptibility, a point the disbelievers may consider. Or not. Probably not. After all, they already think the evidence I've cited shows that Prophets of old..if they existed at all..were not consistent, that post hoc analyses relating to their antics do not constitute similarities, that in fact their differences are so profound as to conclude they were never in communion with anything outside their own brains (Mormons/scientologists will substitute aliens here) and that consequently claims relating to any deity have not been demonstrated at all.

    I CORINTHIANS 15 .KJV
    13
    If there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
    14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain..
    40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another..
    42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
    47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.


    It's quite clear then that God's book exists in incorruptibility and even if the most lunatic cultist lasts another 500 trillion years on a special magic planet, its contents will be available for perusal by and commentary from God, a commentary couched in the most negative terms imaginable.

    Thank you for drawing this to our attention.

      I remember when I was a bit younger I remember watching a man named Deacon Fred who I admired and wished would be my pastor. My parents emailed him my question pertaining whether God watches me go poopy. His reply was that God knows all and sees all. He keeps an eye on us to make sure we aren't doing anything sinful and that our hands don't slip into places they shouldn't be. In the reply was from the KJV pertaining to Proverbs 15:3

      Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

      If you slip up God will know.
      My name is Maxine Levantine. I am 17 and follow the KJV Bible to a T. If you are wanting to hit on me you can turn away. THIS is reserved for Jesus and my future husband (whoever that may be).

        Oh... well there's some ...er... things in my past I hope God is not spending His precious time looking at over and over, but I suppose once it's in His hands, it's permanent.
