God gives to us Time!

 To repent and Change?

Humanity is stubborn, as it always has been, it has many opportunities to change for the better but it refuses, since it seems happy in its own ways and believes it has no need of God!

But the truth is that the destiny of unbelievers is a terrible one of eternal fire and regret, but for us to know our Lord Jesus Holy and Immortal Lord God is an ever new and amazing journey minute by minute and we learn so much to apply to others as much to ourselves?

There has to be hope in witness and in truth and love, while also the need of street preaching in the nations and many are troubled by many issues and not the big ones we only hear about in the media!

 Deuteronomy 31:37, Nehemiah 9:29, Psalm 78:8, Amos 5:4, John 3:3, 14-21, Acts 19:9, Romans 3:21-31, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, 26, Revelation 2:20, 23, 3:20.

'Israel is not to be Undermined?

 The nations have seen the paper Tiger!

He may think people are scared of his growl, but they are not because he cowers like a chicken all the time and even his own people are waking up to conman that he really is?

But what is sad, is that he thinks he can undermine Israel and get away with the, 'Apple of Gods Eye, when he should know better that his time is now very much limited and Gods purpose for him is to come true!

Israel is special among the nations, today many are opposing it because of the situation in the Gaza-Strip, but what they do not want to acknowledge is the will of God here and also with their fallen attitudes and their rejection of Jesus death and resurrection for their redemption and forgiveness of Sins?

Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalm 17:8, Proverbs 7:2, Zephaniah 2:3-7, Zechariah 2:8, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 6:22-23, Revelation 7:2-11.

Liars!

 France and the U.S. entering a State of Flux?

Nothing can surprise anymore in world politics when deception is at play and telling lies is what most of us do everyday, wither we know Jesus or not, it is the working of sin that needs to be repented of!

But with old men as potential leaders and factions ganging up to create a unstable situation is not good and in the long run it will lead to other conflicts coming to the fore, when other leaders start to counter and confuse an already mixed up situation?

It is so sad that many nations are pulling into line with the so called world-order and abandoning the truth for lies, which only leads to more and more confusion and dangers ahead!

Psalm 63:11, 64:1, 116:11, Isaiah 44:25, Luke 13:3-5, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Timothy 4:2, Revelation 21:8.

Being a Believer!

 And not a fake religious Hypocrite?

Our fellowships are full of long time goers, who are not saved coming out eventually with statements that prove who they really are and the damage that they have caused over the years to many others, if not the younger generations that we wonder why they will or never have come to faith!

God tells us in his word that even the angels who broke cover were cast into Hell and all those who practice evil out of pride and other sensuality face the same fate, unless they repent.

We are told in the New Testament to speak and keep the truth, since we cannot deny what God has done in us and we are to avoid bad company, since they with the power of Satan drag us backwards?

1 Corinthians 10:13, 15:33, 2 Peter 2:4-10, Revelation 3:10, 3:20. 

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.

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.

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.

Joe Biden and Police Reform!

 More of the Same?

One is hoping for justice and reform in the United States in relation to the hundreds of black people that get murdered by the police across the states each years and the years before?

George Flyodd has become and International symbol of U.S. Police brutality and yet one cannot be too sure if the new President will keep his word and we see that only white people are allowed to right and invade the Capitol?

But justice will come in some form as many believe the United States is in decline, and Donald Trump made it happen, since no one any longer listens to the U.S.?

It is a sad situation, but this is the way that leaders go with power, they exploit and abuse it and justify sin, while claiming to be many things that they will never be! Prayer will help us and fighting in congress or what ever parliament that is yours to do so without violence?

Exodus 23:2,  Psalm 45:4,  89:14,   Isaiah 59:4,  14,   Amos 5:7,  John 16:8,   Ephesians 6:14. 

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 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.

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.

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.

PEACE?

Human ideal and our Constant!

We always hear the world talking about the ideal of peace and yet it seems to be a continued elusive process, yet for us who are born of the Holy Spirit back to God through the blood of Jesus we have peace as our constant companion?

God is kind to us who have come to believe and to strengthen us daily to be able to live in this world we have the peace of Jesus in our hearts, that the world cannot have unless it too repents!

We can offer real this peace of Jesus to others by our words, in sickness, in fear, in trouble, in strife and they can respond to us, if they hear in thanks and maybe to God in confession!

Genesis 26:29,  Job 21:9,  Psalm 4:8,  34:14,  Matthew/Levi 10:13,  Luke 8:48,  John 3:15-18,  14:27,   Acts 10:36,   Romans 3:22-23,   5:1,   Galatians 5:22,   James 3:18.

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.

The Chasm? Part-Two/

Many have it in this life?

These many include the many who claim to be Christians, but the reality is that they are imposters!

They are like the greedy evil people of this world who are now enjoying the fruits on the backs of others, but God is not blind and He will not be mocked when all of humanity will have to face the Judgement seat of God!

What many forget is that there is no once saved always saved and it is up to us to work out our own salvation by keeping on the path of truth!

The chasm that is in place between us and God has been filled by Jesus, since He is the only way to salvation! It is he who we must seek and who real followers must press on with daily!

1 Samuel 25:36,  2 Thessalonians 1:4-10,  James 5:1-7,  Revelation 22:11.

U.K. At War with Islam.

A united humanitarian Front?

The truth is that Britain and its various religious leaders like to keep up the front of unity, when the reality is far worse than meets the eye? The world will either be rational or ritualistic in believing that humanity covers over hatred?

The truth is far harder to bear, British and most western policies are now clashing with the Middle-East! The Internet and mass immigration has caused local frictions, but when a young man detonated himself in Manchester killing twenty-two mostly woman and young children a door was opened to sectarian warfare!

This morning another fanatic has tried to mow-down Muslim worshippers at the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque, if not also the fire at the Grenfell tower-block inferno was not also a backlash attack?

As believers we must not allow politics, or nationalism one kind or another to influence us? We must stay clear of the leaven of hypocrisy and the rationalism of wickedness!

Leviticus 2:11, Matthew/Levi 10:6, Romans 3:22-24, 6:22-23, 1 Corinthians 13:6-7, James 2:19-25.

PENTECOST!

For Believers Only!

This is the truth, it is only we who know that Jesus has forgiven and forgotten our past sins are given this power of the Holy Spirit to comfort and help us walk with God!

The world can claim many things, as it does along with its false teachers even in the Christian Churches? They push homosexuality today, while they hide their paedophilia? Dishonesty, theft, and the breaking of many rights for their own financial gains all done in the name of God!

But we are beyond that, by choice and because of what Jesus has done for us we desire now to please Him and see others come to the truth that we know!

Isaiah 53:12,  Luke 16:15,  John 16:7,  Acts chapter 2,  Romans 8:34,  Ephesians 3:14-19.

500+

Witness of the Resurrection!

People are canny today when it comes to being a witness, they either know how the play the system that requires numbers or they like the police make up false statements to twist things to suit themselves?

But over five hundred people say Jesus risen from the grave over a period of forty days, and Jesus said to sceptical Thomas what you see, many will believe without ever seeing!

So the ball is now in our court and we have heard it all before, OMG I don't believe?

Isaiah 53:9-12,  Mark 16:12-13,  Luke 24:13,  John 20:24-26,  1 Corinthians 15:6.
