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.

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.

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.

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.

CHRISTAMS ? One.

The authority of JESUS!

We are not marking the birth of any baby each Christmas, but that of a King and one with the ultimate authority THE KING OF KINGS!

He is not passing down the authority of man, police, judges, courts, gang leaders, vigilantes?

He has the authority over our soul, where will we be Heaven or Hell!

We have choices to make, if we have not already made them, we also have to the choice to witness to family and relatives about Jesus as the KING?

Numbers 24:17,   Psalm 2:9,   Isaiah 14:5,   Hebrews 1:8,  Jude 1:11,  Revelation 2:27,  12:5.

Aftermath?

One stabbing, 347 arrested 30 police injured!

Two days of bands, spice food, dancing, drink, Grenfell and wrong attitude, with one million in attendance?

2019 is in the planning and so is the heightened security in relation to a probable Islamic terrorist attack! 

This year it would seem the community did work together for another great parade, but they still do not seem to want to end the gang violence that could see the end of this annual street party? 

Where are the Christians, why are they not seen to be speaking out and if not why not?

Genesis 31:44,  Proverbs 6:19,  14:25,  Mark 10:19, Exodus 20:12-16,  Romans 9:1,  2 Timothy 4:1.

Acid Attacks. One.

Three year old Attacked!

The depravity of the human heart has no bounds to its wickedness, this is the first reported attack on a child of this age and it is not clear what the motive was, if there really can be one!

We have covered this subject before, but it is one that needs to be reconsidered in relation to its continuation in the U.K., where the police lack the means to fight crime and this is playing into organised crime?

Prayer for believers is key, witness of Jesus for those who have come out of gangs is essential, working with the community to try to mediate and to rid our street of this hatred!

Genesis 6:5-7,  Numbers 16:26,  Psalm 1:1,  Matthew 13:49,  2 Corinthians 7:10,  2 Peter 2:7,  3:17.

Summer Opportunities? Two.

Every moment an Opportunity!

As believers our main mission is to share our faith in love and win others to Jesus, as we were to won to Him! This witness has to be done in kindness, but also with a warning of the grave consequences that if this message is not heeded disaster lays ahead!

We live in an age of the doctrine of the Love of God and this is true up to a point and that of sin? The bible has not changed in relation to what God has said about sin, only that we who believe by faith have had the law fulfilled for us by Jesus death on the cross/stake/tree!

But when this time of grace or Gods favour is over comes His wrath of Judgement and His conditions will be met before Eternity, which is the final dispensation!

Psalm 5:11,  Proverbs 18:21,  Matthew 3:7,  John 3:15-21,  31-36,  Acts 4:12,  Romans 3:23,  5:9, 6:23,  Galatians 5:14,  Ephesians 2:4,  Colossians 1:28,  3:8,  1 Peter 1:8,  1 John 2:5.

Summer Opportunities? One.

Prayer and Witness!

This is a great time of the year to share our faith with others and also to start something new in our prayer lives?

Good weather and holidays brings people out and there is almost unlimited opportunities for us to start a conversation, make new friends and listen to others problems, before we take not and go home to pray or share with our fellowships!

We will be rejected by some, but others will want someone to listen to their situation as someone listened to ours that lead us to faith in Jesus!

Psalm 145:2,  Proverbs 15:29,  Matthew 6:1-4, 6,  Romans 12:2, 12,   Philippians 1:19,   Hebrews 10:10.

Fire People? One.

Living in the power of God!

When we are born-again we are given an internal fire or power that helps us to be active for God! There are many issues today in the Church, which stop believers from remaining active, such as criticism and unbelief!

But if we are empowered we will not stop, since our witness will be done in secret or rather we will not brag about it to others? 

At the end of the day our service for the Kingdom is to know that we are in partnership with Jesus and this is not a work of self!

John 1:7,   5:32,   Acts 23:11,  Philippians 1:5-6,  Hebrews 2:4.

A British Royal Wedding!

Fire, Love, Vows?

Its a time for change in the British Royal family and may it continue over colour and religions, but may these marriages last the trial of life?

Saturday 19th May was Pentecost and the theme was Love and Fire, accompanied by the vows of promises to each other and to God!

Love is something that is much said in our world today, but many of us who have come from broken homes and witnessing domestic violence know how much it was lacking from mum and dad?

But because Jesus found us, He has given us the fullness of His Love in accepting us and yet He was rejected by all at the Cross/stake/tree!

Matthew 18:18,  19:5-6,   Acts 2:3,  Ephesians 4:13,  1 John 3:18,  4:8,   Genesis 2:24,   Numbers 6:21.

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.

Christmas Miracles. One.

Virgin Birth!

Even today many believers cannot fathom the virgin birth of Jesus and they find all the worldly excuses of a child born outside of wedlock? This is a sad situation and probably explains why Christianity is in active in many parts of the western world?

Jesus was promised by God's Prophets for thousands of years and Mary was chosen by God, because of her and Josephs linage. It is hard to understand, but the Holy Spirit entered her womb and Jesus was conceived, but Mary remained untouched as in normal sexual relations!

The Holy Spirit today lives within each believer, empowering them to witness our faith and to serve in many ways! Our New Life is more than singing songs and praising the Lord, its about getting our hands dirty and getting out of ones comfort zone?

Psalm 2:7, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1;23,  Luke 1:27-28, 33, 35, John 1:49, 20:31, Acts 3:13, 26, Galatians 2:20.

Saints and Sinners. Part-One.

Mission.

They say that the believers walk starts at the door out of our fellowships!

This is the truth that many people today avoid, because it is hard to talk to hostile neighbours, fellow workers, family, friends?

People just do not want to hear the truth, they don't want to give up their trash lives of filth and sin!

Jesus told all His followers to go out and share their faith and preach the Gospel, that is why you have a Church to go to today.

Mark 16,  Acts 1-2.

No:1 Target.

Stephen.

The first Christian to be martyred, Stephen was picked out by liberal minded men and this is a serious warning to every believer. These men were not able to prove Stephen wrong, so they had no excuses to justify their own sin.

We must be careful when sharing our faith not to button hole or push people and to pull back. But Stephen was only telling them the truth and it cost him his life.

They set him up, just like the religious men set up Jesus. So please don't think that being a Christian is about being a do gooder and it is an easy ride?

Matthew 26:59-61,  Acts 6:9-15.
