MY TIMES ARE IN YOUR HANDS

There were many enemies to Jesus Christ

Before we begin our Bible study Let us recite this verses:

A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)

B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24).

If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:

A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Psalms 31:14

^" My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
   from those who pursue me”.

David was now under the threat of his enemies who were pursuing after his life and seeking to take his life.Who were the enemies of David they were the spies of King Saul to take his life.David suffering was one of the prototype suffering of Christ who suffered for the mankind salvation.Does Christ have enemies during his life on earth? The answer is yes!Christ had his enemies, though he went about doing good, both to the bodies and souls of men, continually; the chief priests, Scribes, and Pharisees, were his implacable enemies, and even the people of those days Jews in general.

Who is the enemy of Believer and the church of God, and members of it :  Sin, Satan, and the World.As David prayed for the deliverance form the hands of enemy.We need to pray regularly to be delivered from Sin,Satan and the world. Jesus told us to pray in the Lord’s prayer as this:

A Believer life should be seperated from Satan,Sin & World

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” ( Matt 6:13).

David was also saying that even though the enemy is pursuing to take his life he believes that his times are in God’s hand. Even the life of a believer is pursued by the sin atmospheres, Satanic temptations and the worldly lusts.We need to believe that our times are in God’s hands. Even though the Satan has the control over the world system but we are under the Control and power of the heavenly realm.

Your times are in Jesus hands

Those who lived an uncompromising lives against the Sin,Satan and world have been gone through lot of tragic experiences in their life.As we take the lives of Joseph,Abel,Noah,Daniel ans Paul we see they had very tragic experience but were under God’s control and timing.Dear Reader as you read this message if you are  a believer in Christ and is going through the tragic experiences of life.The word of God encourages you that you were not alone, you will not be left unto the fate,God has control over your life and your timings.Our timings here means from birth to death is been decided by God.Sometimes you may feel why Iam becoming victim of all the tragedies by other people because this was the same experience by the Heroes of faith.Always Remember you are timings are in God’s hands.

When I was child I do remember how my grandma used to  tell the stories regarding the Yamaraja ( The goddess of death) and yam duths ( The assistants of Yamamraja).How the people are taken to yamalok or pithri lok and being punished for the every single sin they committed during their lifetime.I came to know that Yamraja has been bestowed with full control of death timings of  mankind and nobody can escape from him.

yatra ha vava bhagavan pitr-rajo vaivasvatah sva-visayam prapitesu sva-purusairjantusu samparetesu yatha-karmavadyam dosam evanullanghita-bhagavac-chasanah sagano damam dharayati.(Srimad Bhagavath gita: 5.26.6 - Yama and Pitriloka)

yatra - where; ha vava - indeed; bhagavan - the most powerful; pitr-rajah - Yamaraja, the king of the pitas; vaivasvatah - the son of the sun-god; sva-visayam - his own kingdom; prapitesu - when caused to reach; sva-purusaih - by his own messengers; jantusu - the human beings; samparetesu - dead; yatha-karma-avadyam - according to how much they have violated the rules and regulations of conditional life; dosam - the fault; eva - certainly; anullanghita-bhagavat-sasanah - who never oversteps the Supreme Personality of Godhead's order; saganah - along with his followers; damam - punishment; dharayati - executes.

"The King of the pitas is Yamaraja, the very powerful son of the sun-god. He resides in Pitrloka with his personal assistants and, while abiding by the rules and regulations set down by the Supreme Lord, has his agents, the Yamadutas, bring all the sinful men to him immediately upon their death. After bringing them within his jurisdiction, he properly judges them according to their specific sinful activities and sends them to one of the many hellish planets for suitable punishments."

Yamaraja The goddess of death

Another yamaraj will be raised during tribulation

Yama - Restrainer. Pluto, etc. In the Vedas Yama is god of the dead, with whom the spirits of the departed dwell. He was the son of Vivasvat (the Sun) and had a twin-sister named Yami or Yamuna. These are by some looked upon as the first human pair, the originators of the race; and there is a remarkable hymn, in the form of a dialogue, in which the female urges their cohabitation for the purpose of perpetuating the species. Another hymn says that Yama "was the first of men that died, and the first that departed to the (celestial) world."

The movie is fight against corruption based on Garudapuranam

Yama is still to some extent an object of terror. He is represented as having two insatiable dogs [Rigveda 10.14.10-12] with four eyes and wide nostrils, which guard the road to his abode, and which the departed are advised to hurry past with all possible speed. These dogs are said to wander about among men as his messengers, no doubt for the purpose of summoning them to their master. Yama is the god of departed spirits and judge of the dead. A soul when it quits its mortal form goes to his abode in the lower regions; there the recorder, Citragupta, reads out his account from the great register called Agrasandhani, and a just sentence follows, when the soul either ascends to the abodes of the Pitris (Manes), or is sent to one of the twenty-one hells according to its guilt...

Great terror of deaths in future Rev 6:8

Yama is regent of the south quarter, and as such is called Dakshinashapati. He is represented as having a green color and clothed with red. He rides upon a buffalo, and is armed with a ponderous mace and a noose to secure his victims.  He is assisted by his recorder and councillor, Citragupta, and waited upon by his two chief attendants and custodians, Canda or Mahacanda, and Kalapurusha.

Believe in Jesus and receive eternal life

Yama has many names descriptive of his office. He is Mrityu, Kala, and Antaka, "death"; Kritanta, "the finisher"; Shamana "the settler"; Dandi or Dandadhara, "the rod-bearer"; Bhimashasana, "of terrible decrees"; Pashi, "the noose-carrier"; Pitripati, "lord of the manes"; Pretaraja, "king of the ghosts";(About Yamraja courtesy: Quote from Hindu Dictionary by Manurishi Foundation: http://www.veda.harekrsna.cz/encyclopedia/dying.htm).

Dear Reader we have seen that Yamaraja has been bestowed with the supreme Lord having control over the death timings of mankind .But if you believe in Lord Jesus Christ the Supreme Lord who conquered death (mrithyunjaya Deva)as a Living God.Your timings will be in the Hands of Jesus.

Job 14:5 " Man's days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed".

Let us always be in the hands of Jesus Christ

Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be".

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies. and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?".(John 11:25-26).

Let's Pray: Our Father in heaven! We acknowledge that we have surpassed the death and satanic powers by believing in the death and resurrection of  our Lord and Savior Jesus christ.We thank you  now for  all our times are in your hands under your control.In Jesus name we pray. Amen!
