The underbelly of Antisemitism!

The Kosmon is on the bandwagon of Popularity?

It is sad to say that many believers are joining the worlds view of Israel for starving the of all these Palestinian people, when this is a blatant lie, but it reveals that Jewish hatred is only under the surface of all these people?

What should we do, is to preach the truth that Jews are being saved, events to come will bring the anti-Christ and that when the Messiah comes Israel will be a fully restored and saved nation and that we need to emphasize the importance of the Book of Revelation and its connection to both Daniel and Ezekiel!

For a long tome now many Christians in Europe have discounted these books as not applicable in everyday living, but what has not been addressed is migrant cheap labor and modern slavery that sums up the prosperity of many western societies?

Matthew 11:28, Luke 16:13, John 4:38, 15:18, 1 Thessalonians 1:3, Galatians 4:9, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 18:13.

What does it Mean!

God will not hear our prayers through a Cloud?

So one could say, ‘Don’t pray to Him on a dull day?

There has to be something more here to this passage, than this simple claim, in that He does not hear the prayers of all in their suffering, in this case it was Israel and their failure to repent and when they sought, much like Esau they were turned away!

Today the middle-east is in crises, but does Allah answer the prayers of Muslims, or because of the condition of their hearts full of bitterness and hatred, He refuses them?

What is this cloud made of, it must be something more than an Earthly cloud, more of a closed door in the Heavens, something for now is far beyond our understanding and it may be revealed to us in Eternity!

Lamentations 2:8, 3:44, Genesis 10:14, 27:34.

Language Translations!

How many still to be translated for the Gospel?

It is amazing how many languages and dialects are in the world, when God cast out men from Babel and caused them confusion that was a big event, but it was restored in a way on the day of Pentecost, when the Disciples were speaking all in various languages!

Today with the advancement of A.I and the Internet many believers have access to resources that fifty years ago only missionaries working in far flung places could get?

Costings and what version of the Bible are the main issues to the lack of witnessing material and it is either old, badly put together and hard to access and this is perhaps the only problem we have in relation to time!

Geneses 10:5, 11:1, 7-9, Judges 12:5-6, Acts 2:7-12, 26:14, 1 Corinthians 14:11.

Have house groups?

Killed the western Christian Churches!

Many believers have come to the conclusion that the onset of cell groups have ruined many congregations in the western Ekklesia, because they are an excuse for cliques’ and family related groups to control lost freedoms?

Many of these groups seem helpful in their outlook, but what they do is they kill the midweek prayer meeting and getting together for that oasis of fellowship.

In many other lands distances are an issue to travel and small groups probably work better, but we really should be able to combine the two and find that even the abandonment of the evening service is also something to be brought back to help the many who are struggling at work, home and other?

Matthew 25:1, Acts 1:14, 1 Corinthians 11:20, Ephesians 5:19.

The Ukraine?

No Peace!

As believers how do we deal with a world leader who refuses peace and is also provoking conflicts with other nation who are seeing through him and his mantra of lies to get a shopping list of weapons, that even his armed forces are failing to deploy in a proper manner, but rather waste on the battlefield?

Zelensky has rebuked many people who have suggested peace, this is nothing new David was rebuked by the peoples he lived with in hiding and it was a struggle for him!

Jesus tells us He did not come into our world to make peace, but with a Sword to cause division and to see who really loves Him more than our own loved ones?

Psalm 35:20, 120:7, Matthew 10:34-39.

Blessing God!

Many believers only see it the other way?

But in the New Testament we find two passages in the Gospels in relation to two men blessing God, one in relation to John the Baptizer and the other in the Temple at Jesus’ circumcision. Luke 1:64 and 2:28 respectively.

Zechariah could speak and Simeon had lived long enough to see this day of both the last and greatest prophet John and the Messiah.

Many people today are living a long time again and some believers will live long enough to see our Lord returning on the clouds of glory, but even more so since we live the this time of Spirit and truth John 4:23-24, we should bless the Lord everyday both in prayer and in worship!

We need each Other?

As Believers!

Meeting together is hard for many of us in closed countries, some religious others unbelieving by state control? But for others it is illness, forgotten in the numbers, rejection, being outcast for mistakes, mental-illness and other?

God only wants things for a time to teach people to try harder and not fall backwards, but get up say sorry to Him first and get moving again!

We should know that it is hard to be a ‘Christian, but its worth it, since we are a saved people with a eternal hope and purpose and we have been empowered by the Spirit of God to reach out to others and to see souls saved!

We are also a people of prayer, of communicating with our creator and knowing that He hears and answers our prayers, heals people, influences governments and leaders even without them being aware of their right actions with integrity and that our Lord is coming back for us at the end of the ages!

John 16:7-9, Ephesians 5:21, Jude 1:15, Revelation 6:9-10.

Angels Ministered!

Great Anguish.

Jesus was moments before His journey to the cross and our atonement, but in His human flesh he was in anguish and many believers may find themselves in these moments of great mental and physical pain from the evil people in this world!

Some modern translations do not have these verses in the text, how sad they have missed such an important point, that we too may go through periods of suffering and may even be attended to by Angels, as our Lord was?

We are warned to be careful about people who brag about the subject and dream also, but that must also be taken that Angels will help us, since Peter was released from Prison and the Apostle Paul saw Heaven!

Luke 22:43-45, Psalm 91:11-12.

Christian despair & Depression!

‘Not a bed of Roses?

The statement, ‘It is hard to be a believer, should not be under estimated, since many of us who are now long in the faith now the pain and costs that are involved as we progress in that race that the Apostle Paul encourages us with!

Ekklesia has much to answer to when it comes to depression, mental-illness and despair amongst believers? What was at one time referred to for missionaries is now widespread in the body, since many of us live in pluralistic societies that are hostile to Christians?

Nothing much has changed from the times of the pagan world of the early followers of the way to modern times, the world has turned back to the worship of nature and abandoned the God of the Holy Bible and many believers are starting to fall away, as we are told is to happen!

But we have a God who loves us and His son Jesus who died for us, we must run to Him and trust to endure and to press on? It is indeed very hard, but the price for us is too great to know give up or let go? Let us encourage one and another and help, pray, financials and a roof?

2 Corinthians 4:8-11, Psalm 56:2-3, Proverbs 8:10, 1 Peter 1:7, 4:12-14.

What is COVID-19?

What we think we know and what we have not been Told?

One finds the whole subject worrying in relation to deaths, infections, vaccines and testing, in that much does not work and is false, while the media hype the whole matter up and governments are failing the peoples or are they?

Christians must question and not stand back believing false information, we believe what we are told that it came from China, but the same media outlets tell us that Putin is Corrupt, Trump was mentally compromised and most of this is not true?

We really have been caught out with this virus and the consequences if not state control over the population! Is this 1984 in a world stage of self inflicted conflict and old people do die of old age 77 or 101?

Hospitals are full to capacity, but many private hospitals are empty and being on the inside figures are being fudged to save under financed state aid with the slogans that mean we will not be spending anymore money on our healthcare, stay at home!

Joshua 9:3-15, 2 Samuel 13:6-14, Psalm 52:3, Malachi 3:5, Matthew 24:11, 2 Corinthians 10:4, Colossians 2:4.
