The Christmas season Approaches!

 Great Opportunities?

Christmas and Easter have the biggest times to share the Gospel message in the hope of leading the world to the truth and understanding what it's all about, rather than the commercialism and gluttony of the seasonal holiday?

We know the truth of this time, but how to get it over to the world can be tougher, since they are blinded by Satan and His lies to what we have to say to change their hearts to receive the true light of the star of Jacob, the morning stare, the, 'I Am the light of the world!

Numbers 24:17, John 12:46, 2 Peter 1:19.

We also know the story and this with a few verses may be enough to reach them, love being a key factor since this is what people long for in this society of rejection, indifference and ignoring the truth of real like for that of feelings and constant fantasy?

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:7, Luke 1:32-33, Amos 5:4, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3-18, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:22-23, 6:23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26.

No Trust!

 With the Police?

This is a problem world wide and not only is limited to black people, but also to many other communities based on ethnicity and on sectarian divisions, there are many examples that we could take from the travelling nomad's to religious divisions i Iraq, India, Myanmar, N-Ireland, the Ukraine and Israel!

We humans have a real problem with hating each other and not trusting the legal system or authorities and much of this stems from a white dominated police forces in the U.K. and the United States, but these same issues are also found in Mexico and Brazil and in many parts of the African continent too?

Sin once it takes hold of us it does not let go and it will drag us down into situations that our pride will giver over to others that will, not might exploit our situations?

Trusting in Jesus is the only way for us who have faith to go, the letter of 1 Peter is all about living through hard times and keeping fixated on the Lord who has saved us from our dark pasts and allowing us to live in His Light!

John 3:3, 17-20, 8:12, 9:5, 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26. 

International Trafficking!

 Big Money?

The movement of people fleeing all sorts of situations has always paid well for the traffickers and the prostitution gangs, but not all who are fleeing have been persecuted, many are criminals who seek a better life of more likely crime in the U.K., where there is also a good market for the exploitation of the welfare system!

One might say that there is more money in handling people than say narcotics today and no matter how hard the border agencies work, many will be paid off in this lucrative business?

Slavery is nothing new, it continues with many Gypsy and Nomadic communities around the world and there is always a demand for woman to work in servitude if not prostitution!

Romans 6:15-22, 2 Corinthians 11:20, Galatians 4:9, Titus 3:3, 2 Peter 2:19.

Unbelievable?

 Blacks for Trump!

We have been here before, but now it is surprising in the light of all that has happened that there are people who cannot see through him and what might become of black people in the United States and other places under his potential dictatorship?

Sleepy Joe has done much, but not enough since he is always trying to appease the Republican voters and not really address black issues as he promised he would! Meanwhile many black leaders are pulling with this idea of waiting for the, 'Right Time?

Today is the appointed time of your salvation, only Jesus can save us from the coming destruction and faith in Jesus will set us free from relying on others in government and authority who tell lies and never do what they say they will?

Matthew 7:24-27, Romans 15:8-13, Hebrews 9:25-28.

Same Wages!

 'A warning to Us?

For the many of us who have been believers in Jesus for a long time, do strain under the weight of following, but that does not change anything in the way that God sees us!

For in the last day and hours before Jesus return, more will be added to the Kingdom and at the end of the day we will all get the same wages, since that is what we agreed to with the one who hired us?

In Matthew 20:9-11, we hear that those who worked a long time grumbled, we see also in the salvation of the Prodigal son in Luke 15:31-32, jealousy break out from his brother!

We need to know that we are loved by God and that we should be glad that more souls are being added to Eternity and not like Peter look at the waves and loose faith?

Stop and Search!

 Black Girls feel raped by Police?

Stop and search has been a big issue in the U.K. ever since it was introduced and the black and Asian communities have always felt picked on by the police as a deliberate act.

Recently a number of under age teenage black girls have been asked to strip naked, with no appropriate adult being present and many feel that they have been assaulted and left traumatised by the whole matter!

Meanwhile as is the usual in the United Kingdom of great Britain the police have once more excused themselves and any relations between the communities is now once more at a low ebb?

 Psalm 41:12, Proverbs 10:9, Romans 3:19, Titus 2:7.

What is happening on the Political Front?

The 4th of July reform comes before #blm!

This is a fact of life in the United States and many other nations around the world, white people are more precious than darker skinned people, even Joe Biden is dragging his feet running and putting his Ukrainian bias before his pre-election promises and that is unlikely to change with the mid-term primaries?

What is to be done, more street protest might help, without letting the police provoke to rioting and more pressure to be put on the President to get bills moving, if not drawn up in congress without worrying that the Republicans might overrule them!

1 Samuel 2:20, 25:35, Daniel 6:7-13, Matthew 7:7-8, 1 John 5:15.

Buffalo and Texas!

 It's happening again and again and it will continue?

That might be hard to swallow, but it is a truth that we human beings never seem to learn, despite hundreds of years of slavery, the scientific age that down graded people by their races and then Pogrom's and the Holocaust and much since, we are the same caught in inherited sin!

Laws would help, but we have seen in the united States a great weakness today more so that the 1960's to deal with rights, lies is now acceptable and their is no bar to any morality or Biblical truth that many profess to be, when they are not?

God sees and desires us who have faith in Jesus to share Him daily, because He is the only way to get out of this mess and be free! This not the freedom of secular humanism that has shipwrecked the Church and the Christian community, it is one of our hearts and minds!

 Acts 22:28, John 8:36, Romans 5:16, 6:18, 8:2, 1 Corinthians 7:21-22, Galatians 3:28, 4:21, Ephesians 6:8, 1 Peter 2:16, Revelation 13:16.

Ascension and Pentecostal pouring Out!

 Jesus departed with the promised return and the Holy Spirit continues to be given to Believers!

God does not change but we do or one hopes we do as believers grow?

Bad people become good, some get saved and good believers can lose it because of mental health and do bad things, stress, pain, suffering, anger can all lead to that type of fall others to sex, money, narcotics or the ego of power and their destruction with victims!

Many Christian's refuse to believe that those saved can be lost, but the Holy Bible tells us so and that hose who live in sin will not inherit eternity! We may think we can play games with God, sin one day and seek His forgiveness the next  thinking we are okay, but we are only fooling ourselves in our silly ideas?

To be a believer is a tough road and the older you get the harder it is, some people hide their pain with smiles and praise, they refuse to admit their situation's, even to Jesus !

Hebrews 10:26, Leviticus 4:2, Deuteronomy 17:12, Psalm 19:12-13, John 9:41, 1 Timothy 1:13, James 4:17.

#blm in Retrospect?

 A past Event! 

One was taken recently to hear U.S. media reporting that the Black lives Movement was something of a past event and that it no longer had any powers in relation to the present situation in the States?

But this must be lies, since recent shootings of more young black men has nor been fully addressed either by Joe Biden or Kamela Harris, with troopers being called into settle the situation!

It would seem that the current administration has only its eyes on the Ukraine and what historical fame that will bring to the current leadership, while domestic issues just will be laid by?

 Acts 17:30, Ephesians 4:18, 2 Peter 3:16.

Resurrection...

 Not Reincarnation!

Jesus died and rose from the grave with the same body, yet for the 19th Century many evangelical clergymen accepted a Hindu concept that implied that the risen Jesus was a copy and not the one who died?

This still exists today in the many false concepts about the resurrection and  many cannot accept this historical fact, beyond that of the atonement?

If Jesus did not rise from the dead none of us can be saved, since the Holy Bible is very clear that He did!

John 4:23-24, 1 Corinthians 15:12-13, Philippians 3:10-11, Revelation 20:5-6.

Veritas!

 Truth?

Easter is once more just a week away, when many will be coming to Church for one reason or another?

We have a great opportunity to share Jesus with them or to invite that hard in the community and discover he or her are future pastors and/or missionaries!

Is not God lovely that He can take the Sh1t like we once were and make us into His own New people, if He has done this for us what can He do and keep doing for others, loved ones, family, enemies, friends, work mates etc?

Genesis 42:21, 1 Kings 17:24, Psalm 15:2, Proverbs 12:17, John 4:24, Romans 2:8.

Cannot Remember?

 Yesterday!

God does not like the double-minded, who say one thing and then do the other or just keep chopping and changing!

We have now seen two U.S. Presidents face the same scenario and they may have a habit like King Saul who hunted down the shepherd boy and future great King of Israel out of jealousy! Donald Trump could not take the pressure and had to ask other world leaders what to do, instead of listening to his own advisors?

Yet he got things done in the Middle-East and Israel, but the power went to his head in the Capitol Insurrection and disasters have followed him since? Meanwhile President Biden is fighting black injustice in America, but supporting it in the Ukraine against Russia, while hiding germ warfare labs in the Ukraine and is not able to remember what he said yesterday, which makes him out to be full of himself?

God does not like these men, He seeks honesty and integrity and leaders who will admit their failings and repent of them, learning to forgive others as we have been forgiven by God. 

Psalm 119:113, Matthew/Levi 6:12, Luke 11:4, 1 Timothy 3:8, James 1:8, 4:8, 1 John 1:9.

Ill Again!

The effects of COVID-19 Remain?

One cannot be sure what is out there in the world of viruses, but the human mind has not changed when it comes to sin!

We may be on the verge of a nuclear excha?nge and sleepy Joe does not seem to have any compassion in relation to his fellow human, but rather be driven by greed and his own agenda?

Illness is very challenging to all of us, either we see it in older folks or in children. Pain is another aspect of it and so is weakness to keep doing what we need or want to do!

Jesus came to heal, but He also loves us, understands and is compassionate and this is why we need Him and His forgiveness.

Luke 9:6, Mark 8:2, John 3:16, 20:23, Acts 26:18.

Joe Biden, Iran, Ukraine and Kazakhstan?

 Nothing for George Floyd and #blm!

Black people are again getting left behind in the United States by a career white politician, who says its not the right time yet and it never really will be a right time, since he has no plans to make a right time?

The Bronx fire in New York may have drawn his attention from his obsession on Russia, but it will just be another fleeting moment of white sympathy over the reality of what people have to face everyday in the nation!

The recent state of thefts, smash and grab have turned the white community and businesses back to funding the police and the crap that comes out of Trumps mouth is not helping anyone but continues to divide the nation?

Palestinian links with the #blm has lost them much support around the world, when black people just want their rights o be met and not going down the road of anti-Semitism and other issues?

Mark 12:14, John 1:17, Romans 1:18, 2 Corinthians 6:7, 13:8, Ephesians 6:14, Colossians 3:25.

Christmas and the New Year 2022!

 Promised Child?

The world is going on as it ever did pandemic or not, Christmas or not and it is too full of broken promises from vaccines to global warming, green energy to promises to #blm!

Only our faith in Jesus will allow us the certainty of an eternity with Him if we stay the course?

There is much to read on this blog for the years gone by, but we have to keep reading the Bible to grow in faith and putting it into practice?

Luke 1:79, John 3:20-21, Romans 3:21-31, 2 Corinthians 1:20, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 6:12, 2 Peter 1:4.

'A happier New Year to you all 2022, God's Blessings!
