Fire Power!

The inward workings of God?

Many evangelical believers are closed to the outward workings of the Holy Spirit in their live and fellowships, that the Bible becomes dry and ineffective and they die to be reborn as Mosques!

But we who have accepted the role of this third force of the Holy Trinity remain active and well under attack for doing so, but through that gift given the work is producing fruit and souls are being saved!

Many other manifestations of the Holy Spirit are also at work in being in the right places at the right time to counter evil and to offer the true light of Jesus to pagans who will be marking the summer Solstice soon?

Isaiah 9:2, John 8:12, 1 Corinthians 12:1-9, Ephesians 5:9, Hebrews 12:11.

Promises for hard times to be encouraged!

Promises to Israel?

Some people reading this post will want a doctrinal answer to a difficult passage, but here one wants to deals with antisemitism in Ekklesia that is allowing a lot of false concepts into peoples minds that are not of the teaching of the Holy Scriptures or the Church, apart from Replacement theology!

Israel is mentioned throughout the Bible, we really never lose track of the nation, the tribes, the promised Messiah and the tribes gathered at the end of the ages, with the coming of the New Jerusalem for all who have believed in the death and resurrection of Yeshua?

There are many areas in this subject that will be covered at a later date, more so the winter months!

But here we need encouragement as believers to press on and to be joined to the branches of Israel in a hostile and cold media reporting lies and supporting Palestinian terrorism?

Psalm 23, 121, and 148.

CHRISTMAS!

The Virgin Birth of Jesus?

The most disputed passage in the Holy Bible by a lost world, that refuses to believe in the impossible of God the creator and they are determined to undermine the truth for some sordid version of their own corrupted minds!

Many in western society today dismiss the account as another fairy story or a cover up for the above mentioned, without being able to accept the truth of a loving God, who gave to us His one and only son, so that by faith in Him we might be saved?

Ekklesia has had a problem, since the introduction of the Christmas tree and today the manger is covered up by gnomes and tat and many refuse to speak up for the fear of being attacked, but they expect they will be covered by the sufferings of others in other lands?

Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, Matthew 1:20, Luke 1:68-72, John 1:1-5, 3:3, 14-21, Hebrews 9:25-28.

Our need of Salvation?

The Christmas Message!

For our lost world, both physically and Spiritually, for some of us this is the season of ekklesia unity and family, for others ministering it is the poor, the food banks, the lonely and the older folks?

We may all still like to send cards, give presents and celebrate with tradition thrown in, but the world has commercialized the season to cancel the message that Jesus, the God-Man came into our world two thousand years ago to save sinners and bring salvation to all who would have faith in Him!

We are entrusted with a message that remains today as fresh as it did them and our time is running out as the night of the apocalyptic era is approaching!!

Acts 13:23, 32-33, Psalm 2:7, 132:11, Hebrews 9:25-28, 10:10.

Ebenezer (Even-Ezer).

The Lord has helped Us!

Israel at this time saw that God was with them and He was their really only help?

Today many Churches choose the name to symbolize what God is doing for us as believers and not as some believe the fellowship of the brothers alone!

We should all know that God is good and He is always looking out for us as we walk with Him, but when we take our eyes off, we head straight for the darkness of sin and possibly destruction if we refuse to repent and come back to the narrow way?

Israel did the same, after the time of the Judges, they wanted a King and God gave them a loser Saul son of Kish.

1 Samuel 7:11-12, 17:37, Psalm 98:1, 116:12, Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:1.

Christmas!

The real meaning of?

We all know the events of the Christmas story and how we can cross reference the Gospels with the book of Isaiah and other to fit the traditional picture of it, but so much can be missed out in the leaving out of certain passages.

Most of western-Christmas is associated with the Catholic Church and the Protestants have taken out the bits that they do not like in relation to doctrine, while the eastern Church celebrates more the iconography of the saints than scriptures?

But we want too look at the message of Salvation through Jesus and why He came into our world to save sinners like you and me!

Numbers 24:17, Isaiah 9:2, Luke 1:76-79, 2:8-15, 30-32, John 8:12.

Easter. Two.

The Resurrection!

Jesus in not dead like the heads of other religions past and present, He is alive with His Father in Heaven awaiting that great day of His return, when those who refused to believe in Him will see Him and hide!

The rising if Jesus from the grave is the essential factor for our salvation plan, since we rise with Him in believers baptism to the promised eternal life!

Jesus always hinted to His disciples the way that he was going to die and be raised on the third day!

Jesus spent forty days on earth appearing to over five hundred people, apart from His disciples and then in the Ascension he return t heaven?

In the resurrection we are freed from the curse of the law and we are free from the sting of death!

Mark 8:31, 9:30-31, Acts 2:31-33, Romans 6:5-11.

Christmas Approaches!

A really busy time for Ekklesia?

Each one of us has the challenge of pulling something new out of the story that by tradition seems to be fixed and at that it in its own right is a tremendous one, but there are many part to it that can be added depending on who one is preaching too?

When we look at this story we are seeing the fulfilment of Jewish history and we know that in that brief time of some thirty four years, his own people rejected Him, but since thirty three AD the way and the Ekklesia just keeps on growing and spreading out and now we live in an age that allows us to see it recovering older areas that have died lack to keep sharing Jesus?

Christmas is also a time when we see the dregs of society, the self-opinionated and the good people come to fellowship with us for plethora of reasons, sometimes guilt, other memory of childhood, others just like the atmosphere without the reality and others still in despair of life?

Numbers 24:17, Matthew 2:2, 9-10, 2 Peter 1:19.

End of a Divine Reign?

British Queen Elizabeth-II Regina 8th September 2022.

The sad loss of the British Queen has left the United Kingdom fluxed, with a weak successor Charles-III Rex and an idiotic government that could start world war-III with both Russia and China and total economic collapse, leading to some serious rioting and a civil war by her daft policies to defend the rich?

Queen Elizabeth had a divine reign that will not, if never repeated again and what she has left, may too soon disappear from a unbelieving nation, that is even embarrassed by the mention of God or the recognition that she was Born-Again rather than what many want as a Roman-Catholic or High-Anglican?

Now she is asleep waiting to meet Jesus her Lord and Master at the resurrection of the dead and the final Judgement and not to hear or listen to the rubbish that is said about her in the media, politicians or even those in the Royal court!

Revelation 5:5, 7:5, 19:16.

What we signed up for?

Our agreement with God!

Many believers find after years of service that they get left behind by the next generation and we may at times feel why did struggle so much for?

In this last age of human history there has been some dramatic changes, motorised transport, the invention of television and now the Internet, Space travel, electric cars, hydrogen surpassing the burning of fossil fuels and nuclear power if not war?

We may have written our own tracts, preached and taught, while today people use apps, watch videos on their phones and tablets and share via the web, even with the continuing Pandemic ekklesia is moving in to virtual rather than physical!

What we need to do is accept and be glad that younger people are getting saved and that our experience of life may be of help to all who are struggling?

Matthew 20:9-11, Luke 15:31-32, Romans 3:23, 6:23.
