Preach The Word

6 Replies

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:.2 Timothy 4:1

Jesus has commanded us to make disciples of all the nations not to sit in a Church pew each week and get credit for attendance. Have you told anyone about Jesus lately? You can make a difference between life and death with your testimony.

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage–with great patience and careful instruction  2 Timothy 4:2

How can you preach the gospel if you don’t know the gospel? It’s important not only to study the Word of God for your own instruction but to lead others. There are many false prophets and false religions out there, you will be led astray if you don’t know the true Word of God.

Also we need to be kind and patient to those who don’t know the Bible, don’t be quick to judge and rebuke everyone. Be a true teacher of the Gospel.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4

The time has come now, false prophets and false religions have flooded the world. Prosperity Gospel encouraging people to follow God so he can make us wealthy is Satanic. The true Gospel of Christ is to deny yourself, carry your cross , and follow Jesus.

Nobody wants to teach about Hell and Demons because its not profitable or popular. But Jesus spent a majority of his ministry teaching about them, if Jesus thought they were important to know about, I’m sure they are.

But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5

Ministry is not glamorous, there are no mansions or private jets. If there are the ministry is producing bad fruit and is false. True Christians are called to love one another including the poor and needy. If any ministry is spending money excessively on material items then there not following Gods commandments and are following there own.

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day–and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Paul endured much persecution and suffering during his ministry, even to this day many still blasphemy his name. But he kept “fighting the good fight” because he knew this world is temporary but the Kingdom of God is forever. He has earned the “crown of righteousness” and we should strive to do the same as Ministers of Christ in Jesus Amen Amen

The Comforter

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Who is your comfort in times of trouble? Who do you turn to when you are suffering?  We need to remember you are never alone, God is with you. He gives us the peace and strength thru the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is alive in you.

If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:6-7

Although we all would like to be comfortable all the time, we know this is not reality; there will be times of trouble and suffering.  But through our suffering we build faith, as we learn in life, there are many things that are out of our hands and we need to have faith and peace God will pull us thru it.

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:8-9

Paul had suffered and endured great persecution during his ministry. But instead of complaining or giving up he turned to God for his comfort. Is there anything impossible for God? With faith the size of a mustard seed we can move mountains, put your faith in your Creator.

He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. 2 Corinthians 1:10-11

The same God that delivered the Israelites from slavery, the same God that rose Jesus from the dead. He is the same God that will deliver you also.Trust in the Lord, he is the Prince of Peace, The Redeemer, The Great I AM, The King of Kings, he is the beginning and the end in Jesus Name Amen

 

The Greatest Commandment

15 Replies

Owe nothing to anyone–except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. Romans 13:8

Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God with all our hearts and love your neighbor as yourself.  Sounds simple but yet the world is full of hatred and violence. Imagine a world if everyone did love each other as themselves?  Remember God is love, so when you look at the world with loving eyes, you look at the world thru Gods eyes, the way it was mean to be.

The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13:9

All the commandments of the Bible can be fulfilled by following one commandment. Think about it if you truly loved your neighbor would you want to harm them or victimize them? No, the same goes for yourself. You don’t want anyone harming you or your family. If you treat people with the mutual respect that you wish to be treated, everyone can live together peacefully. Love is the cure to all problems.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:10

Why is it so difficult for the world to love one another? The answer is so simple yet nobody is willing to do it. The reason is selfishness, all sin is caused by selfishness. People refuse to love one another for reason of greed, envy, lust, and pride. If people learned to be more like Jesus, and think less about themselves and more about other people, then world peace would be possible.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew  22:37-40

If you can’t love, you can’t follow God, its as simple as that. The first thing we need to do as Christians, is have a “heart transplant”. When you accept Christ, remove all the hatred, bitterness, jealousy, ect from your heart. When you open your heart, then you will truly understand God and his ways.

Some people still are not going to like you, and some people are still going to do you wrong. Pay them no mind, fix your eyes on God and let them have to answer for there actions in Jesus name Amen.

Forgiveness

7 Replies

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14

As Jesus was dying on the cross, he said “Father forgive them, for they do not know what there doing. “ In a world that seeks revenge, we need to forgive and allow God to be the vindicator.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn Romans 12:15

Jesus said “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted” When people are mourning we need to be there for them during there time of need.  For those who rejoice, you should rejoice with them for this is the day The Lord has made.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16

Jesus interacted with sinners, with lepers, and Samaritans. This was all forbidden by Jews back then, he showed us how to live with grace and mercy.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:17-18

Jesus said “Blessed are the Peacemakes for they will be called Children of God” One mans sin doesn’t justify another mans sin.  The blind will lead the blind into the ditch.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. Romans 12:19

Judgement is not ours, let go and let God take control. Usually we make a bigger mess when we try to seek revenge.

On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:20-21

“Kill them with Kindness” is a term we heard before and has some truth to it. When you are kind to your enemies, it’s a response they don’t want.  Never allow someone to bully you into a fight, as it says in Proverbs “A fool is quick to quarrel” be slow to anger and quick to forgive.

Forgiveness is not weakness, it empowers you to release the control your enemy has over you. When you forgive them, you are moving on and letting God take over. Don’t imprison yourself with hatred, break the chains in Jesus Name Amen

Don’t Repay Evil with Evil

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. Romans 12:17

It’s human nature to seek revenge when someone does us wrong. But does two wrongs make a right? The riots in Baltimore are a classic example of this. We originally started with one victim, but now it’s escalated to multiple victims. What justice did this accomplish?

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18

Some will say Peace is impossible. But until everyone learns to love each other as themselves, there will never be Peace. Until you value your neighbors life as you value your own. Until the world accepts Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, it will never be possible. Only with God are all things possible.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. Romans 12:19

Our God is a just God, he is in control. Don’t take revenge into your own hands, give it up to The Lord. When you defy God and take revenge in your own hands, your not only being rebellious, it’s Satanic. God is the law and justice.

On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Romans 12:20

You have heard the expression “Kill them with kindness” Good always defeats evil, as Jesus said only the Merciful will obtain Mercy. If your not merciful you will never receive Peace.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21

Evil will never overcome you unless you allow it, God can’t be defeated, if God is with us who can stand against us. Don’t give in to Evil, take a stand and stand with God.

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Luke 23:34

Even as Jesus was hanging on the cross, he asked God to forgive everyone. We need to forgive also just like Jesus. Don’t take justice in your own hands, put it in the hands of God. Don’t repay Evil with Evil in Jesus name Amen

Easter Sunday- He Is Risen

7 Replies

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6

On the third day Jesus has risen from the dead, just as he promised. The stone has been rolled away, the tomb is empty, Jesus has conquered death forever. The resurrection power of God can’t be defeated, Satan is powerless against us, praise the Lord.

The resurrection is not only the most important day in humanity, as we now have eternal life thru Jesus Christ but it also has been prophesized throughout the Bible

(Acts 13:35) “Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

(Psalm 16:10) “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

Prophecy of Psalm 16 was fulfilled as told in Acts 13. God promised he would not forsake Jesus and raise him from the dead.

(Matthew 22:44) “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool”

(Psalm 110:1) “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

The prophecy of Psalm 110 was also fulfilled as referenced also in Matthew 22. Jesus literally made all his enemies his footstool as he ascended into heaven.

 (Acts 13:33) “God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

(Psalm 2:7) “I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.”

The prophecy of Psalm 2:7 referenced in Acts 13 was also fulfilled. Jesus was raised from the dead just as God promised. The only begotten son, our Messiah lives forever.

As you celebrate Easter Sunday remember this is probably the biggest day for all man kind, Jesus resurrection not only fulfilled many prophecies but he has giving us eternal life thru his blood shed on the cross. So today rejoice Hosanna for He is Risen Jesus Christ lives forever Amen


Breath of Life

7 Replies

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  Genesis 2:7

Life and Death, when does it begin and end? What separates us from the physical and spiritual world? The world believes life begins at conception but we know life begins when God breathes into us.  The “Breath of Life” comes from God. Life begins when God says it begins.

The Hebrew meaning for the word Spirit means Breathe also, so when we say God breathed on us, he’s sending us his Spirit.  No matter what happens to our physical body, our Spirit can’t be separated from God.

(Job 33:4) “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”

Job was in a dark place, Satan had taken everything away from him including his family, but Job didn’t understand what was going on and assumed God was punishing him. Then a young man named Elihu, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and revealed this truth to Job.

Thru the “Breath of Life” God gives us life, no life can be giving without the Spirit of God. Man will continue to try and replicate life but all life comes from God.

(Acts 17:25) “And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.”

When Paul was teaching the Gospel of Jesus he came under heavy opposition, but Paul basically told them God doesn’t need our approval. He is the giver of life, God is the Breath of Life.

The world wants to debate Gods existence or the validity of Jesus Christ, God doesn’t need to prove anything. He spun stars and galaxies into space. He created the heavens and The Earth, and he created us from the dust and breathed life into us.

(Revelations 11:11) “But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.”

During the Tribulation, The 2 Prophets of God who will be killed by Satan will then be resurrected by God. Notice is says “ The Breath of Life” entered into them.

This world we spend a lot of time trying to maintain our physical bodies to sustain life, but are you focusing on your Spiritual life? God gives us the “Breath of Life” and we can only sustain that thru our Lord Jesus Christ Amen

Here Comes The Son

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelations 1:7

The Earth revolves around and relies on the Sun. A star so bright it can be seen by every human eye even though the Sun is about 150 million kilometers away. So bright if you stare into the Sun it can permanently damage your eyes, as well as burn your skin.

This will be the same with the Return of Jesus, there will be no mistake, and every eye will see him. Jesus is referred to as the “Morning Star” (Revelations 22:16)  Even his enemies will know he has returned and will mourn that day because the ways of the corrupted world about to come to an end.

(Matthew 24:38-40) ” For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

There are a lot of false religions that claim Jesus has already returned, don’t believe these, as described in the scriptures above there will be a “rapture” when Jesus returns, all his followers will be saved from Earth before the “Great Tribulation” begins.

If Jesus already returned there would be no Christians left on Earth, don’t be deceived by false teachings, his arrival will be known to the entire world. He will be the “Lion of Judah” ready to wipe Satan and his followers off the face of the Earth.

(1 Thessalonians 4:17) “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

God will never leave us or forsake us, this is true with the Tribulation also. Jesus will save his followers from the “Hell on Earth” that will begin during this time. You don’t want to be “Left Behind” during this time period.

As the messenger John the Baptist said “Repent for the Kingdom is at Hand” get ready for the return of our King Jesus Christ. Repent your sins, accept him as your savior, and carry your cross to Heaven. Get ready world because “Here Comes The Son”

Angels in Disquise

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

You see a homeless man on the street, what is your reaction? Do you pretend to ignore him or do you offer whatever you have in your pocket? You see a handicapped person, do you look at them with affection or judgment because you don’t understand them?

The way you react to other people, reflects what truly is in your heart. God doesn’t need to know how many times you read the Bible, he can tell by your reaction to the meek. Could it be these people you’ve come in contact with were really “Angels in Disguise” ? While you look at them with disgust, they are looking at your heart.

(Matthew 5:5) “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”

“Dog Eat Dog” “Only the Strong Survive” “Sink or Swim.”  These are the messages the world tell us. But the world is wrong, because it’s blinded by the deceit of Satan.  As Jesus said “So the last shall be first, and the first last:” What? Did Jesus just blow your mind? How many people did you crush to get to the top only to find out you’re going to be last?

What do we learn from the “Angels in Disguise”? Our natural reaction is we change or save them, but the reality is we are the ones that need to changed or saved. Their mission is to teach us what human life is really about and not what we think it’s about.

(1 Samuel 16:7) ” But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

We judge from the outward appearance, but God looks at our hearts. They say that 80% of all communication is nonverbal, why? Because as humans we study each other. If you want to truly “inherit the Earth” we need to renew our minds, soften our hearts, and become meek.

This is the mission the “Angels in Disguise” teach us.  They take our hardened hearts and give us a heart transplant, where we learn to love like Jesus. Maybe you had an encounter with one of these Angels, next time you do, show them love like Jesus showed you. Amen

Only Way To Heaven

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

 

A few years ago Oprah Winfrey said on her show that all religions lead to the same God and take you to heaven. This is not only wrong but is totally Anti Christ.  Jesus clearly told us he is the only way to God and to eternal life.

So you might ask why? If a religion or beliefs are “good” people why is Jesus the only way to Heaven? Very simply nobody else redeemed us except Jesus thru his sacrifice on the cross.

(Romans 3:23) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

 

To understand what Jesus did for us on the cross we first need to understand the “Curse of Adam”. When Adam and Eve choose to eat from the “forbidden fruit” they cursed us all. We are all born sinners and mortal. The only way to salvation and eternal life is thru Jesus.

Any other religion or prophet can’t redeem you from your sins. Without being born again thru Christ you are unworthy to stand before God and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

(1 John 1:8) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

 

Many will say they are “good” people and don’t need Jesus. But not only are they deceiving themselves, they are throwing there lives away. Nobody except Jesus has ever walked the Earth and not sinned.
The problem with sin is it’s an abomination of God and didn’t come from God. Therefor sin will not be acceptable in Heaven, the only way to be redeemed is thru the blood of Jesus Christ.

(1 John 2:22) “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

 

Anyone who denies Jesus as the Messiah is an Anti Christ. Even though there will be one great Anti Christ one day, there are many among us today. But know this anyone who denies Jesus also denies God. Therefor there religion or beliefs are Satanic for they don’t come from God.

Jesus is the only way to God and Heaven, any other way is a road to hell. Don’t listen to anyone who denies Jesus as Christ. Only thru the Son will you get to the Father in Jesus name Amen
