Satan and the the Devil. Two

Job and Jesus, knew Suffering!

This comparison between two men and Satan is of great value to all believers who are suffering today, in hostile environments, bad neighbors, difficult Churches and religious persecution that involves violent attacks.

It is hard to be a follower of Jesus, it is hard to love and forgive at time those that seek you both physical and mental harm?

Job was innocent, but his friends did not comfort him but rather find ways to make him believe he had sinned. Jesus was insulted and attempts to trap Him with words was a daily toll, both men suffered pain and rejection but both made it through.

They show to us a way and an understanding more so Jesus of all that we have gone through, He too did for us. Job was rewarded for his faith with prosperity, Jesus with sitting on his Fathers throne and we who press on and win the crown Salvation Eternal!

Job 1:8-12, 20-22, 16:12, Isaiah 53:3, Mark 8:31, Ephesians 1:20, Hebrews 11:35-39.

Mark 16! Part-Two.

Great Spiritual powers Displayed?

Many Christians today have grown dismissive of the impossible, of the power of healing and many other areas that seem to be very controversial when related to the work of the Holy Spirit within the believer!

Many are to comfortable in the Bible lesson preaching and not active in evangelism or sharing their faith, some of us have become lazy believing once we are saved we will just hang around in Church until Heaven?

These verses reveal the power of God at work in all believers who are open to serve Him and shows us that we are a protected people!

Yes we will suffer at times and be rejected by a hostile world that ridicules all that challenges its desire for sin and dishonesty, but in these last words in the gospel of Mark we are commissioned to go into community, work, family and share what God, what Jesus has and is and will be doing for us?

Mark 16:9-20, (17-18), Acts 28:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28-30, James 3:8, Revelation 22:2.

Sunday evening Services! Two.

Ekklesia is not like the Kosmon?

What is being lost in not having an Sunday evening service is that of fellowship of believers ahead of the working week! The world is very hostile most of the time to believers, we are attacked for what disagrees with their standards and ours are dismissed as archaic?

A two hour slot of praise, prayer and preaching with an after fellowship of just meeting and talking with folk is the varied ways of helping and leading others to God! When you have worked prior to going into ministry, you are more likely to see the needs in particular loneliness and despair!

God came to save sinners and the Ekklesia is a place for believers to meet together and be built up, its not a club or some unneeded tradition of religious observance! We need to help those who are seeking God and keep our flocks well watered and fed?

Acts 2:42, Romans 16:8, Philippians 2:1, Philemon 1:6, 1 John 1:6.

Sunday Evening Services! One.

No longer Popular?

Many fellowships today only have Sunday morning services and have ended their evenings for the pleasures of the television and other?

They see no value in pressuring their congregations into attending Church twice on a Sunday! But one has to say I think this is wrong, the opportunity to share the Gospel is slowly being eradicated and we will have to give God an account for missed souls?

Many in ministry have it easy, compared to normal 9-5 work and so it seems another chip off the block can be sacrificed? Many people today work in the gig economy and would like to break bread before or after work, to be fed spiritually and have the opportunity to bring a friend?

Isaiah 40:11, 56:11, Ezekiel 34:2, Luke 2:20, 1 Peter 5:2.

Adultery and Divorce!

A plague in modern Society?

Marriage today has become cheap, being not much more than a fad something to be experienced and then broken up and put aside?

No longer is marriage between and man and a woman, but now it is same sex running contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible because its based on selfish motives and lust over that of love and forgiveness!

Christians are failing to speak out or to condemn evil practices in our nations and society! The fear of man now predominates the Church were ever it has got a foothold?

There does not seem to be a separation line between faith and the world, something to show that when we are born-again we have become a changed people? We have to live in the world, but the world must not live in us influencing us back to what we were before!

Believers need to show couples getting married in Churches the seriousness of what they are doing, the vows and promises they are making to God first and then to each other! The need to forgive when each will fail, to know that we have to forgive, since He first forgave us!

That same sex marriage is wrong and is an abomination to God, love here is not the question but rather lust which is evil and leads to many other sexual sins!

Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Psalm 81:12, Matthew 5:28, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:15, 18, Romans 1:27, 7:3, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 7:2-3, 11:12, Ephesians 4:32, Colossian 3:13, Hebrews 13:4, 2 Peter 2:10.

Israel! Two.

Prophetic and Reality?

Where do we think Jesus will return to when He comes back?

All prophecy is based on the Messiah Jesus in relation to the events that will lead to the end of our world and the great day of Judgement! This will take place in the restored Temple o the Temple mount in Jerusalem and not as some think, Rome or some other place full of Christians?

Jesus is not just returning to gather Ekklesia, but also to restore Y’srael Basilia ot the Kingdom of Israel! Some believe this will be the establishment of the real Israel, but that has already happened so that the false messiah will be revealed!

How can we be sure of this facts, first many believers now know that we are living in the last days of the great delusion! People want to defy God on every level, they also want to undermine the teachings of the Bible and twist them to suit their own agenda!

Israel grows and its enemies are either appeased or are to be removed, the world goes with the idealistic idea of a two state solution, but there is nothing in the Holy Bible in relation to that set up!

Isaiah 10:21-22, Jeremiah 3:14, 31:8, Daniel 11:28-29, Hosea 3:5, Zechariah 8:3, Malachi 1:4, Acts 2:20, 1 Corinthians 1:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, 2 Timothy 4:8, Hebrews 10:25, 37, 2 Peter 3:4, 10, Revelation 1:10, 2:16, 19:15.
