Not the Abraham Accords?

 The ball game for Donald Trump has changed!

He may want peace, but there are many now who want to see what the duck is made of and Islam is out to get him, rather than making peace with Israel, wither the hostages get released or not, Joe will leave office like Carter and Trump will be measured to be seen as what he is not and that is strong?

He may lift the U.S. economy and again promise the rust belt what he said before and did nothing and he may be the last democratic leader of the free world, as he has no intentions this time of retiring until his son becomes the next U.S. President or King of America!

Land grabbing may be the legacy of Trump with strife in Europe over Greenland and the re-taking of the Panama canal, could lead to a different kind of world war-III?

Proverbs 4:18, John 1:1-5, 3:3, 14-21, 8:12, 9:4, Romans 3:22-23, 6:22-23, Hebrews 4;12-13, 9:26-27.

Christmas!

 Our light to be seen and not Hidden?

T'is the season of merryment and cheer in the celebration of the birth of Jesus our Savior and that is all that it may mean to us, a time of religious appearance and the rest food, drink and sexual intimations in the traditions of the world?

We have something if we are truly born again or converted, we have the light of God that must not be hidden from the world, the Holy Spirit will empower us to share that real meaning of this time and many to our surprise seriously want to hear what we have to say and the need for Salvation?

So when asked have the answer to meet the need, the gift to listen to people problems, worries, even their anger of injustice!

Matthew/Levi 5:13-16, John 8:12, 1 John 2:8.

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. 

Immorality! Two.

 We are not of this World?

It is doubtful that many who claim to follow Jesus, actually believe that they are not part of the world, they have got their wires crossed!

We may have to live through this depraved society, but we do not have to be a part of it?

Being a believer is about being a good person, so that the lost will be attracted to the light of Jesus shining through us! We are living in dire times of a pandemic that is mutating, because us humans have been dirty going to the public toilets and not washing our hands germs spread?

God wants us to be focused in Jesus, to do what is right, to be honest, show integrity and love the unloved!

1 Corinthians 5;10,   6:9,  18,  7:2,  Colossians 3:5,  Hebrews 13:4,  Proverbs 10:23,  Acts 10:38,  Philippians 1:11,  1 Peter 2:20,   Revelation 22:15.

Uncertain Times?

 COVID-19.

Many of us cannot get a test and many of us may be carrying this virus and causing mayhem?

Governments are ineffective or don't care as long as this will not come to their door, its the old old story of sin in humanity and it will always be with us!

Round two, three, four are all coming and it may last another ten years as the so called 1918 Spanish flu did, but this is five time worse and the more science learns the more things get complicated!

COVID-19 is related to several previous diseases such as AIDS and the problems are people refuse to be defiant in changing their ways, wither they call it pride or something else?

Joshua 24:19,  Job 24:13,  Psalm 106:43,  John 8:12,  2 Thessalonians 2:3,  Hebrews 3:8.

Knives! One.

Murders from Stabbing.

Life is cheap when gangs resort to stabbing out of their understanding of twisted ideas?

Respect, facing up or down, rivalry, showmanship are all aspects of the same thing?

There is no easy solution to gang warfare, because it is going on all over the world and no one as yet has been able to stop it!

London has seen fifty-five murders in the last four months, but considering the population is ten-million plus its not a big figure as is being made out?

What we learn from the bible is that it is mostly evil people who open themselves up and refuse to submit to God! If they do not do it with a weapon they do it under their tongue in inflammatory speech to raise the game!

We are warned that in the last times evil will prevail much more than it is now and knowing this we should understand that while it is still light we seek Jesus and Eternity!

Proverbs 30:14,  John 9:4,   Hebrews 3:13,  15.  Revelation 9:8.

LOVE Applied?

Where humans Fail!

Sin in us is the block to remembering to keep loving by care, having concern and applying it all the time? Believers on the other hand should be, but there are many reasons as to why we do not?

Jesus did not stop loving and God our Father has not either, since people all around the world everyday are turning from darkness to light!

We have been left an example or pattern to follow and we have one step ahead of the world, since we are a temple for the Holy Spirit He is able to guide us in the application of Love!

Proverbs 2:2,  22:17,  Ezekiel 30:21, James 1:23.

Meeting the Ancestors?

All Hallows/Halloween!

Nearly every culture around the globe has something similar at some point of the year, where there folklore has to deal with the living and the dead and some form of contact being made? This time of the year was dreaded in the belief of meeting the ancestors, especially if you were a murderer since all would be revealed?

Today the Christian festivals of All Hallows and Halloween have been hijacked by commercialism and the message of Jesus light over the powers of the devil lost in the fun and fireworks?

But Jesus did defeat Satan at the temptation in the wilderness and finally at the cross and Jesus resurrection from the dead for all of us who have been set free from darkness into our New Life relationships with Him!

Psalm 18:5,  Matthew/Levi 4:1, 10:28,  John 8:12,  9:5,  12:46,  2 Peter 2:4.

LOVE. Two.

Loving the Truth?

There is a difference between us and the lost, but it is a very little one of choice, when God reveals to us His chink of light? There are many people today who go to Church and have the name tag Christian by tradition and birth, but faith-trust in God does not come by the will of man nut God.

There are many at the same time who believe without the cross and self-denial that they know the Lord Jesus, they are always on the take? But when asked to do something, even a small thing the selfishness of their hearts are revealed and they run away.

When they saw the chink of light, they refused it to continue in their darkness, but we accepted because we love the truth of Gods word the bible and try to live by it everyday! Not living as the world, but living in the New Life!

2 Thessalonians 2:10, Proverbs 8:18, 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Not to be Forgotten. Part-One.

Bataclan, Brussels and Nice.

Three major terrorist attacks two hundred and fifty two people killed, by a handful of religious fanatics on people going about their daily business.

This is the work of the soldier of Islam who don't fight armies, they are cowards who shoot in the back.

Political policy has brought this about and the problems with the world is its utter confusion in the inherited sin of lies upon lies.

But there is no darkness with God, no lies, no dishonesty, because He is pure light that is unapproachable and he is Holy without Sin.

Today if you are without hope, have no peace, troubled? Then turn to Him and be made complete in His righteousness. In Jesus His One and Only Son who died for You and me.

Isaiah 53:7-8,  John 3:15-18,  Acts 4:12,  8:32,  Romans 15:13,  1 Peter 1:19,  3 John 11.

NEW LIFE. One.

Resurrection Victory.

Believers mark the end of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus, the light of the world.

The world that we live in is a place of darkness, controled by Satan the attractive fallen Angel!

Darkness, delusion, trickery, desception, death can be deliverd from by faith in Jesus.

Admit you failure, seek God and change your attitudes.

Acts 2:23-25,  Psalm 116:3-4,  John 12:31,  Acts 26;18,  2 Corinthians 11:14,  Ephesians 6:12.

Saints and Sinners. Part-Two.

What and who are the Saints?

Roman Catholicism has venerated those they believe have performed miracles, but the bible says that all purchased failures are the saints. Those who went before us in each fellowship are the saints, they look over us as the body of believers. Hebrews 12:1, 1 Peter 5:12.

God so loved the world, that he gave us His one and only son. God does not want people to perish, but for all to turn to Him. We are lost now in the darkness of failure, but we can come out of it into His Eternal light. John 3:19-21, 9:5, 2 Peter 3:9.

The choice is always with us?

Will you choose today to surrender to His will and be set free from the emptiness of filth, riches and the muck of this life to the promises of New things in His?  Joshua 24:15-18,

New Enemies. Part-Two.

Urban Terrorism.

Paris Friday 13th November will remain in the memory of 500 people who have lost loved ones or who have relatives and friends injured. Child soldiers and Urban terrorism was deployed on the streets of France for the second time this year.

It has been 45 years since we last saw homegrown urban terrorists operating on European streets and these new ones will take full advantage of the media, Internet to spread their message.

Fifty years ago one could draw any cartoon strip one liked in the western world, without fear of it being seen and offended by the masses. it was only wealthy people who had access to foreign newspapers. But today the world will see it quicker through the cameras on our mobile cell phones, than even the Net.

Evil may hide in the darkness, plan and work at its hurts, but the light of God will always reveal the truth of actions and the condition of the mind and soul!

Isaiah 40:27-31,  Romans 1:20-21,  Philippians 4:13,  James 4:17.

'Wicked. Part-One.

Devil, Evil and Satan.

Lots of people say that they don't believe in God, but they also think the Devil is another Christian myth. Yet many have chosen to follow the way of wickedness, because it gives them money, sex and power.

Matthew 4:10,  Ephesians 6:11,  Revelation 12:9.

They are surrounded by wealth, but they are really in poverty and some know it but they dont know how to get out of the cycle of being trapped.

Jesus said, 'I Am the Light of the world.  John 8:12,  12:46.

This is the first step to getting free for good.

'I Am the Light. Part-Four.

Walking daily in His light!

We have now come to the end of our look at what Easter is all about and now we are looking at our conditions, where do we stand in light of all that we say we know?

If we claim that we belong to Him-Jesus, are we still walking in His light of revelation or are we going on in our own strength?

Have we made a commitment to Him or do we think we either have no sin or too many that our 'Good works might get us on some sort of points system?

I John 1:5-10.

'I Am the Light. Part-Three.

Walking in the Light.

Being a believer in Jesus death and resurrection is not easy, it is not for the faint hearted!  John 1:4, 8:12.

We who have faith to believe must walk in the light, we cannot be closet 'Christians or as some have become 'Sunday suits and Monday rags.'

If we have entered into Eternity, into the New Life after repenting and changing our mental attitudes we must not allow ourselves to fall back. Matthew 5:14-16.

The light we have now is temporal, the days of darkness and anti-Christ are coming and we need to be on Jesus side!
John 12:35-36.

I Am the Light. Part-One.

of the World.

There are plenty of lights out in this world evetyday try to influence us, TV, Internet, Adverts, window displays and the lits go on and on.

But there is really only one true light and if we come seeking Him, we will not be dissapointed.

Isaiah 9:2,  49:6,  John 8:12.
