The age that we are living In!

 Disobedience, selfishness, humanism and Woke?

Western society is open to this new generation, but the rest of the world is not and they continue on as they are, in fact the governments and establishments of many nations allow these ideas for the common man, but they do not use them, thus creating a tiered society!

We are seeing this more and more in the U.K., France and the United States and it is not helping anyone to improve their lot, because the truth is that it is a load of rubbish that make many look really stupid or mentally imbalanced abroad?

But we are a people of faith and we should be trusting Jesus our Lord and God our Savior for all of our needs and knowing that the Holy Spirit is both our peace and comforter and that we need to be sharing this good new message to the lost world around us all the time!

Jude 1:8, 11,16.22.

MANIA!

 Fear of loosing Power?

The Christmas story has so much blessing and hope in it, yet it also has horror in relation to the wise men from the east visiting the Kings palace in Jerusalem to meet the Messiah and the Savior of the Gentiles!

King Herod, who was only a proxy King in name and a vessel of the Roman occupation was in fear that another line of the David family was going to take his throne and he was infuriated when the three kings did not return to the palace!

Jesus and His earthly mother and father had to flee to Egypt as Herod ordered the massacre of all male children from baby to two years old in Israel.

Today we are experiencing a transition of power in the U.S. that is not nice and the President Biden is proving to be no better than Trump, each clinging on to power and maybe with Trump in four years time the situation now in S-Korea will be playing out in the U.S.?

Luke 1:68-72, 2:1-15, Acts 13:23, 32-33, 38, Hebrews 9:25-28, Revelation 7:17.

Raising the Stakes?

 Europe, U.K. and the U.S. over Israel!

Everyone wants Israel to capitulate to the will of the Iranians, something that if they were in the same place would not do, but it has to be this way for the Jews?

This is antisemitism on mass, when these western nations refuse to even account for the Holocaust of 1938-45 and their failure to deal with the aftermath of it, they now want to continue where they left off!

But no one in the region is listening to the hypocrisy of the two state plan and all are going at it for win or loose and Israel will win, since they are home in the promised land and God is with them to fulfill His plan and not the plans of anyone else!

Of all these nations involved many give the impression of having a faith, but the reality is none have anything, but the right words without faith and despite Israel being blind to the truth and Islam misguided God is using both of them to challenge the conceptions of western-society and all of it immoral filth that it terms freedom!

 Deuteronomy 20:4, 2 Samuel 23:10, Psalm 144:10, Proverbs 21:31, 1 Corinthians 15:50, 57, 1 John 5:4.

Lack of Trust!

 No confidence in Kamala Harris?

The United States is one of several nations now in crises, where leaders are no longer trusted and parties lack confidence in them, because they are seen as weak and that they are the only choice available to run for the next round!

Joe Biden is very much a lame duck in office and is making himself a laughing stock, but his party do not want Harris to replace him, until after who wins the elections on the 5th November?

America is making serious mistakes with home policy and the Middle-East and even now the Donald is pulling into line with Biden and wanting to make peace or appease Iran instead of acting tough, instead of just speaking tough?

Isaiah 14:10, Matthew 26:41, Acts 20:35, Romans 14:1, 1 Corinthians 8:9, Galatians 4:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:4.

A staggered Season!

 Easter-Pesach-Easter.

This is a year when Western Easter does not par with the Jewish Passover and the Eastern Church is further on still in the calendar?

So many will have the opportunity to come to faith and not many excuses since they will prove to others by their actions that they are liars and there is no truth in them!

But we must be patient in not forcing what we believe on to others, say what we can and leave it at that, knowing really that God is in control and they are free to choose their destiny?

Amos 5:4, John 3:3, 14-21, Acts 4:26, Romans 3:23, 6:23, Hebrews 9:26-27, 10:10, 18, 1 John 1:8, Revelation 3:20.

Take the money and Run!

 Little hope for black people in America?

Trump is back or maybe its only him who thins so, and we have a dotty old man running the States in the hope of restoring without dealing the real issues out of fear of something that is now well beyond its sell date?

Most of us would probably take what we can and go with it, but if we do without investment it will run out, while reality will not change since both Joe and Donald are weak men to corruption to sin, to lies, to cover-ups and much more, believing that money can buy their way out!

Why is the nation only left with this choices and that there is no one suitable who might be a bit younger and wiser to deal with the ever new crises that Joe is causing before his departure?

Exodus 23:1, 23, Psalm 24:4, 119:104, Proverbs 6:19, Matthew 7:15, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 6:23.

Charles III!

 Most leaders in the world are Humanistic.

This is the limited outlook of world leadership, even many who claim to be Christians use pluralism to guise themselves as not being a squeaky clean as they want to be seen in the media!

The Holy Bible tells us that we are all failures in light of God's high standard, one prefers those who make no claims as to their religion or non and those are the some who are honest and show integrity and respect to others?

We need to be more focused on Jesus our Lord, knowing who we are and awaiting his return in the hope of our salvation, we will then feast with him at the marriage table and that will be much richer for us than any human. meal!

Luke 14:12-24, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3, 14-18, Hebrews 9:26, 10:10, Jude 1:7, Revelation 3:20.

Samson and Esther!

 Acting on faith for the right Time?

In the book of Esther God is not mentioned, while in the life of Samson, many thought he was a crazy guy and yet they knew they were in the will of God, but their respective timings had to be right!

We can gain much of a lesson from these two people, patience and perseverance are key to working with faith, but also we can learn much from others like Noah, Abraham and the Apostle Paul, if not John who out lived all surviving a death camp!

Each of us is an individual and through the power workings of the Holy Spirit we will be lead in a different way, some will have to stay put like the mad man that Jesus healed and others go out like Phillip to being translated?

Judges 14:1-12, 16:26-30, The Book of Esther, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:8, Hebrews 11:32, Revelation 3:20.

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.

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.

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!

'On the verge of a world Plague?

 Omicron can cross to Rats!

We are living in dire times and no one is admitting to anything in relation to this virus and its mutations, with the latest news, things are only going to get worse?

But the Holy Bible has already told us that plagues are coming and we must try not to worry, because the end is drawing near!

If we believe and live by faith nothing will worry us or should not?

But from time to time Satan will attack us, but we must not loose heart this Christmas and New year, we again have the opportunity to share you with family and friends!

Exodus 9:14, Habakkuk 3:5, Matthew 6:28, Mark 13:11, Luke 12:22, 1 Peter 3:14,  Revelation 15:1-8.

God expects more from Us!

 A den of merchants and Robbers?

One has always felt uncomfortable with the Sunday book store in the Church and despite the need for it, it becomes a king of religious hypocrisy when we are encouraged by some to keep the sabbath and feel okay trading in the confines of fellowship!

Jesus was not to pleased with what He saw in the Temple in Jerusalem, the abuse of the religious leadership turning a Holy building into another outlet for business and His words spoken that they were in relation to what the poor suffering Prophet Jeremiah had to put up in his day!

God wants us to be a people of applied faith, not Church going and not in a religious system of rules and rituals #, but to free in the indwelling holy Spirit to be alive and active, with no fear of people? Respecting the laws of the lands that we are in as long as they do run contrary to God's laws!

Jeremiah 7:3-11,  Matthew/Levi 21:13,  Luke 19:45-46,  Hebrews 4:12,  Revelation 2:19.

The long-arm of Islamic Fundamentalism?

 French Beheading!

The murder of a school teacher over some silly cartoons is quite something and yet many western nations face problems with the Muslim religion and they with our culture?

This terrible act in France last week is nothing compared to what goes on daily in Muslim and other religious based nations around the world!

France does not get it, that their freedoms are insulting to Muslims and they will not compromise on this one area to save lives and stop provoking in some cases unstable people?

On the other hand most Muslims do want to kill us and they do hope to convert Europe from Christianity to Islam and we know this because of the many Muslims who have converted to the Christian faith!  

Meanwhile the secular media always plays down the reasons behind knifings in London and the U.K. as if they will go away instead of addressing truth?

Revelation 20:4,  Mark 6:16, Luke 9:9,  Romans 8:17,  11:15, Revelation 1:9, 12:11. 

Uncertain Information?

About the truth of COVID-19!

One is not saying it does not exist, but rather that is may be far worse than what our governments are telling us at this time?

In fact it would seem that many are in denial that their situation is worse than their neighboring country and so the misinformation is not really helping anyone to get a grip on this terrible disease!

Many in the U.S. and other countries have refused to wear a face mask, because it infringes their civil liberties, but if it was to save the peoples lives in your family it would be worth wearing one?

God wants us believers to be sensible in that we do what is right and not rebel to authority, there is a time and a place when that could be justified as it was in the second world war under Adolf Hitler and the Axis alliances or even in many closed Islamic and communist lands today!

Galatians 6:9,  1 Timothy 5:13,  1 Peter 2:20.

EASTER is not Off?

A blessed Easter to all of You!

The world may think that much has to be cancelled, while others make false promises claiming they are trying to bring hope to the masses?

The Gospel message of Easter is still the same Jesus died on the cross/stake/tree for our sins and rose on the third day from the grave to promise us entry into Eternal life with Him and our Father!

Matthew/Levi 16:21,  Luke 18:33,  1 Corinthians 15:4.

Unfortunately we must heed the warning that all now people going to Church who claim they are not what they seem! We cannot be saved by Attendance, Baptism, owning a Bible, being brought up in Christian home or missing out repentance by saying we have nothing to repent of?

Amos 5:4,  Matthew/Levi 7:7-8,  John 3:3, 14-18,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:21-31,  Revelation 3:19-20.

Faith in God is a personal relationship based on being Born-Again, not of the flesh but by the Holy Spirit! Faith is not a private matter, but an open matter since Jesus never did anything in secret and so we must be open to who we are you! There are exceptions, atheistic lands, Islamic and closed religious idol based systems?

SALVATION!

Longed for many Generations?

And now it is revealed to us who are being saved by the mercy of God through the blood of Jesus and we are being sustained by His grace daily to serve Him in many different kinds of ways!

What we have in these last times was something that was not fully understood by the Prophets of long ago, who preached the word of God and yet they wondered what was the fullness of what they were saying?

But we today live in the times of grace, since we believe in Jesus death and resurrection by faith and not on works, but they have since followed our conversion?

Psalm 22:1-21,  Isaiah 49:6,   Zechariah 6:12,  Luke 24:44,   John 3:3,  14-18,   Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:21-31,  Hebrews 4;12-13,  11:13,  40,  1 Peter 1:10-11.

Seek and Find?

'Whose knocking at the Door!

The Christmas story is about a set of miracles and events that are a pivot of human history, when Jesus came into our world in human flesh from Eternity! Born of the Virgin, seen by the outcasts of society, rejected by a Royal family and gifted by foreign leaders, this is the story of the Messiah and Saviour of the world.

He was born in a humble place a symbol of His human nature that we would later see in his ministry and His going to the cross for all believers by faith!

But Christmas may have many aspects family, presents, the special meal, loneliness and rejection, homelessness and more? But it also brings to us the opportunity of Eternal Salvation through our repentance and faith in this child Jesus!

Jesus said, 'I stand at the door and knock, He who asks will receive!

Will you ask Him this season to come into your life? You have to ask to receive, will you open that cold hard door of your heart to His love, care and concern for your wrong direction?

Revelation 3:20,    Amos 5:4,    Matthew/Levi 7:7-8,    Luke 15:24,   32,    James 2:24,   26.

Secular Humanism? Part-One.

The enemy of Christian Faith!

Many Christians around the world today have taken on this cause believing that the 'good works of Jesus was for the defence of the poor and they completely miss both His death on the cross and His rising from the dead for their salvation?

Humanism is at times an excuse to get out of commitments to God and much of its ideas are based on Roman Catholicism in the ideal the more good we do, we have a better chance of going to heaven?

But belief in God has to be based on faith and that of being Born-again or anew and it is not based on what we can do, but rather what God has done for us!

As believers we are commanded to do what is right and good and not wrong, this is how we will know on this side of Eternity who are walking with our Lord and who are not!

James 2:8,  1 Peter 3:14, 1 John 2:10,  20-27,  3:14-19,  23. 

Piracy? Two.

Taking by Force?

As believers there may be a time when we may have to act in a certain way to take control of a situation to save lives?

But generally the term for piracy is criminal and if we are a people of faith we cannot continue to live as the world does, since we have been bought back to God by the precious blood of His Son Jesus!

This is not a light matter as some false or misguided believers might like to suggest, we do in some ways have to be seen by both the world around us and in secret by God doing what is right? We will fail from time to time, but we must not excuse ourselves or reject the truth!

Matthew 25:7,  Jeremiah 23:30,  Mark 7:21,  Ephesians 4:28,   Hebrews 4:12,   Jude 1:10.
