America prays for Donald Trump!

 Looking for Sympathy?

Love me, they love me! Really 210,000 dead, No its fake news! I now understand what this is all about and I'm going to tell you soon!

How much more of this do we have to go through as the U.S. President tells more lies and could be even using this hospitalization to cover up those tax returns he refuses to reveal as he has no time for people but rather is leaning on the name of America?

Faith in God is very important for everyone who has some knowledge of Christianity and to see what we are reveals the truth that positive thinking and self achievement covers up=SIN!

We need to seek God to ask his forgiveness for our failures, to know that we have been forgiven and to have the assurance of Salvation in a through the good works of Jesus going to the cross and rising from the dead!

Psalm 19:12,  Matthew 6:12,  John 8:24,  Isaiah 48:1-2,  Romans 4:7,  Ephesians 1:7, 1 Timothy 6:17,  1 John 1:9.

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.

Jewish Hatred? Part-One.

Anti Semitism.

Many Christians as much as the world fail to understand the real meaning of the message of salvation and are quick to blame the Jewish race for the death of Jesus, but without His death and resurrection individuals cannot be saved!

The death of Jesus, the perfect sinless sacrifice for our failure was the King of Israel and His people the Jews, who in that time period rejected Him!  John 3:3, 14-16,  10:28

Today many people who carry the label Christian are equally to blame for His death because of their unbelief?  John 3:17-21

Many Jewish people today are coming to faith in Jesus, just as many other peoples from all cultures and religious systems and none. 

The hatred comes from much false teachings in the Churches who are religious based and do not fully understand the need of personal salvation, while on the other hand jealousy and misconstrued conspiracy theories in relation to 911 are being flaunted over the true facts that these attacks were carried by Saudi-Arabian friends of the U.S. administration!

Acts 2:14-41,   Joel 2:28-32,   Psalm 16:8-11,   Luke 24:46-48,   Acts 16:31-34.

E-2.

Resurrection to New Life!

We cannot enter into our New Lives, without Jesus rising from the dead?

Jesus rose on the third day as He said He would, so that death would be conquered and the victory gained for us! 

Much work was done by our Lord between His death and rising, in gathering all the captives of the past and setting them free!

Jesus spent forty days here on Earth and was seen by over five-hundred people, apart from His Disciples.

Matthew 20:19,   Luke 13:32,   Acts 2:31,   Romans 6:5,  1 Corinthians 15:4,  16:2,   1 Peter 1:3.

Day Two! Part-Two.

Burial Preparations!

It was the traditional custom to prepare spices to keep the flies off the dead body and this was a legal requirement. Much of this hearkened back to the time when the Hebrews were living in Egypt and was an art in itself?

The woman were His mother and Mary Magdalene the whore who was delivered of evil spirits and some other woman, but next morning when they got yo the tomb it was empty!

Meanwhile the religious leaders of the day plotted to undermine His Disciples and followers that there was a resurrection!

In today's world there are many who are trying their hardest to discount the truth about Jesus, but we must make that choice for ourselves, wither we believe that He died for us or that we reject Him and face the consequences of Eternal separation from Him in Hell?

Luke 23:56,   24:1,   Exodus 30:25-37,   1 Chronicles 9:30,    2 Chronicles 16:14,   Mark 16:9,   John 20:14-18.

Day two! Part-One.

Day One death, day three Resurrection!

These are generally the two emphasis points of the Easter story, but day two is the one that is over looked and yet it is essential to understand all three together, because without it many believers today are missing the points later on in the New Testament teaching?

Jesus birth, death and resurrection are key to understanding why He had to die, fulfilling the Jewish Laws for us as the final sacrifice for sin and His rising allows us to enter into the promises of Eternal Life, but we are now in the New Life!

Much of the work of Jesus was done in the grave of reconciling Jews and Gentiles of gathering the captives in His train and all the while the world was trying to undermine these events with lies to dispute the truth, which it continues to do to this day!

Isaiah 26:19,   60:1,   61:1,   Luke 4:18,   John 5:25,   12:46,   Ephesians 5:14,   Colossians 1:13.

Preparations for EASTER?

The pivotal key of history to Salvation by FAITH.

One has to wonder how many Churches today still emphasise the cross and the death and resurrection of Jesus as the final atonement for our sins and our Salvation? 

Or have they adopted new tact in playing on eggs and bunny rabbits to water down the truth, because of fear of upsetting others in the world who have no concern for Christianity?

Every nation and tradition will mark this time on differing dates, due to their respective calendars, but the message will still focus on Jesus!

Meanwhile what are we doing, many will have to work through it, while others can take the opportunity to share their faith and see other lives changed for the better!

Mark 8:34,   Luke 23:26,   John 19:17-31,   1 Corinthians 1:18,    Galatians 6:14,   Colossians 1:20,  Hebrews 12:2.

EASTER! Three.

Arisen and Seen!

There are many Church going people who enjoy celebrating Easter, but they only go half way not believing in the resurrection? They think that to accept that Jesus died for their sins is enough, but they fail to see that they cannot be fully saved without the power unleashed by God in the resurrection of Our Lord?

We cannot enter into the promised New Life, without first recognising Jesus victory over the sting of death and the setting free of the captives! These are essential to having the full assurances of knowing that we have been called and chosen by God!

We need to understand today where we stand with God and know the essential truths of these serious matters in relation to our onw individual destinies?

Psalm 14:1,  53:1,  Matthew 13:25-40,  Acts 2:31,  4:2,  Romans 1:4,  14:17,  1 Peter 1:3,  2 Peter 1:10-11.

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.

Easter. Part-Three.

Risen from the Dead!

Jesus said that he would die and rise from the dead on the third day, and he did! He was seen by well over five-hundred people between His resurrection and His Ascension back to Heaven, over a forty-day period.

Doubting Thomas is one proof, the broiled fish is another that he returned to us in the same body and was neither a ghost of some lofty Spirit! Jesus was the same flesh and blood as He always was, both fully the perfect, sinless man and God!

Now we come to the facts of faith-trust in relation to the resurrection of Jesus, because some cannot believe this to be a truth? Without understanding this key area of our salvation, we will not be delivered from the darkness of sin! In it we died with Him and rose with Him into the Eternal New Life!

John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4, 12-13, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Peter 1:3, 8.

No tit for Tat!

We are not called to do Evil!

The world is full of anger about the loss of what it wants over that of letting go and sharing?

Believers in Jesus by faith in His death and resurrection have been set free from the powers of darkness!

We are no longer what we were and in this New Life, that begins the moment we believed we are not a people of doing tit for tat.

Psalm 38:20,  1 Thessalonians 5:15,  1 Peter 3:9.

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.

CHRISTMAS. Part-Four

VIRGIN BIRTH.

Still today many people cannot believe in this miracle of God, they make all sorts of excuses for it based on what is in their own hearts.

But it did happen as the bible tells us so, we do need to have faith to believe it?

When we have faith in the death, resurrection of Jesus for our failures then nothing is limited to us.

The world promises so much, but it hardly ever delivers even a little!

Luke 1:26-38,  Matthew 1:20-21,  2:13-22.   John 12:46-48.

Resurrection.

Jesus said...

'He would rise from the grave on the third day' and he did, thus death or the sting of death has been overcome for us who believe in Him.

Matthew 17:23,  Mark 10:34,  Luke 18:33,  Acts 10:40,  1 Corinthians 15:4.

Over five-hundred people saw the risen Lord during His forty days on Earth, before He made His Acension to Heaven.

Acts 1:3.

Many people think that is the end of the story, but it is only the beginning of a bigger story by far.

Matthew 24:18, Luke 17:31, James 5:7-8.

Ascension.

Going Home.

For some Christians Easter is the end of the bible story, Jesus rose from the dead and the victory was achieved.

But the resurrection, was only the beginning for believers in Jesus by faith.

Jesus spent forty days on the earth and was seen by over 500 people, then He ascended back to Heaven with the promise that he would return for His own.

Many nations today who claim that they do not believe in God fear this statement.

DO YOU?   

Acts 1:1-11.

Proof. Part-Two.

500.

They normally don;t tell you that over five hundred people witnesed the resurrection of Jesus.

Many people like to think it was only the elite few, His Disciples and maybe a few friends.

Matthew 28:16-20,  John 21:1-3,  Acts 1:3-8, 
1 Corinthians 15:6-7,  Hebrews 13:20.

Hammer n Nails. Part-Three.

Death and Resurrection.

They got Him killed, and they though that was the end of it?

But that was actually the beginning of it!

People think murder is the means to an end, but actually it is the beginning of their end.

Death could not keep Jesus in the grave, he died for us and he arose with the promise.

That if we believe in these works and say sorry, really meaning it we will be saved.

Mark 15:22-38, John 20:1-10,
