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. 

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.

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.

God is still the Same?

He will get us Through!

Many like to ask the Christian, where is God in all these troubles?

My answer is why do you refuse to believe and be saved from your sins and know that God is with us always to the end!

Despite the great loss of life around the world, God is still with the believer! Death is going home for us, surviving is so that we can continue to serve Him in what ever way that He may be using us to do His will!

This bug will eventually come to an end, but it is us humans who will have to do a few things to break its power? Like stay home and not go out, to not think that our freedoms are being lost to some political ideals of false concepts!

What if this was nuclear fall-out, would one go outside and sit in the park knowing that the invisible enemy would give us cancers and other grave illnesses? 

Matthew/Levi 9:12,   Psalm 6:2,  147:3,   Romans 7:9-24,   Revelation 3:17-18.

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.

E.1.

False Charges!

There are many today who could tell the story of being set up or sold out by so called associates or mates? Jesus was set up and sold to the Roman authorities by religious people who played being right with God, when they were mostly pretenders!

Jesus was tried by a Roman occupier, who knew He was an innocent man but he was not able to get Him off! Since those religious men had bribed this judge to do their bidding and give them what they wanted a revolutionary murderer!

The world today has not changed when it comes to the sins of evil people, with we are good living or bad? There are better and worse and some times the opposites are played or switched roles to get rid of us who perhaps might be a challenge for them or trying to make a stance?

Mark 15:3,   Luke 16:1,   23:10,   Acts 23:28,   25:16.

Political Deception?

Excuses, false claims and lies!

We can do all these things and claim to have a faith in God, but at the end of the day we are only fooling ourselves! People will see through us, as fakes and they will not trust in God when they see that Christians are crooks!

Many politicians play this game and make claims to their faith, but they are not real believers and nothing more than charlatans!

The Holy Bible warns us than in the last days that there will be many false prophets and people will live for themselves, wanting what they want and deceiving to be deceived! Blinded by hypocrisy, by greed, racism and sectarians religious madness, while living in sin and covering it up with more and more evil!

Numbers 16:14,  Psalm 12:2,  Proverbs 16:29,  Matthew 24:24,  Galatians 6:7,  Ephesians 5:6,  1 Timothy 4:1-5.

False Believers. One.

Wolves in sheep's Clothing?

The Apostle Paul tells us than in his travels he met many false believers and we to will also meet them! We see many false Christians in the media, in government, even in Christian programming and we need to be vigilant!

Because these are the people who will deliberately lead us astray into other teaching that sound justified, but if they do not match up to what God and Jesus His son has to say we would be wise to avoid them?

The Bible warns us about wolves and peoples in the last days disobedient to God and wanting to fulfil all their desires! It is hard to be a follower of Jesus, we have the victory despite sometimes it can be very hard!

Matthew 7:15, 24:11, Acts 20:29, 2 Corinthians 11:13, 26, Galatians 2:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 1 Timothy 1:3.

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.

The ball is Rolling. Part-One.

Trumps Vision Fulfilled.

Don't say you were not warned?

It is sad when people in despair fall into the revenge trap, thinking their actions will get results. The murder now of eight U.S. Police men in two major 'Black Power' attacks and 29 having died this year, will give the oppertunity for Donald Trump the excuse to possible wipe out the comminity?

Tyrants like to play the ticket of doing what is right, getting the problem sorted? Even when they tell a pack of lies to fool the conservative of any society. In the Bible we see such a proud loyal man as Haman, who sought to destroy one group of people in the Babylonian nation out of sheer jealousy.

Esther 3:1-2, Psalm 12:8, Proverbs 29:2, Phillipians 2:10.

The cost of being a Believer. TWO.

Accused and set Up.

Jesus paid the price for our sins, as he bled to death on the cross/stake/tree, men jeered Him there as they lied and made up false accusations during His trial.

Today our corrupt world still does the same, governments, police, councils and other administrative bodies. They take short cuts by piling more crimes on the guilty to cover up and get rid of their piles of paperwork?

What a price has been paid for us 2000 years ago, this Easter?

Psalm 22:7-9, Matthew 27:40, Mark 15:30, Luke 23:37-39,  John 2:19-22, 2 Corinthian 6:2.

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.

Crib n Cross. Part-Three.

Born of the Virgin.

It is a miracle the birth of Jesus, He God incarnate came from Heaven and was chosen to be conceived into human flesh by the Holy Spirit to a young virgin girl named Mary. The Angel Gabri'el was sent by God to tell her that she was the chosen one to bear the Messiah. Luke 1:26-35.

After Jesus was born Mary married Joseph and they went on to have normal relations and a big family. We see later on 30 years later His earthly mother coming with His brothers and sisters to get Him.  Matthew 12:46-49.

Roman Catholicism and many branches of the Christian Church venerate Mary, before Jesus and this is a false teaching. Jesus must be and is the only focus for our need to change our mental attitudes and be saved from Eternal Damnation. 1 John 5:20.

Hammer n Nails. Part-Two.

Arrested and set up.

There are many people, who arrested and set up, framed by the police, false witnesses and end up in jaol or go to death row. And that is just not in the United States, but many other countries to.

Jesus was arrested, betrayed, had false accusations made against him and then when they felt it was the right time. They handed Him up.

They passed the buck on to their rulers or occupiers to do the killing for them

Luke 22:47-53,  Matthew 27:1-2, 11-14, John 18:37-19:16.
