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.

Pro-Israel Christians pulling Back?

Israel’s right-wing anti-Christian Laws!

The problem with U.S. Ekklesia is that they do not know enough of their Bibles in relation to Eschatology and the end times, when Israel will not want, what it considers to be anti-Semitic to its culture?

Judaism is legalistic and it only sees Islam as being more close to what it believes in relation to a shared ancestor Abraham, while Jesus/Yeshua known to us is an imposter and they want nothing of Him!

The other reason is that Israel sees the Christian community as pro-Palestinian and hypocritical when it comes to the word of the Tanakh or our Old Testament that Elohim commands Israel to rid the land of these peoples?

In the book of Romans the Apostle Paul tells us that, ‘the Jews have been blinded, so that the gentiles can come into the commonwealth of Israel or that should rather be the Kingdom (Basilia).

Since they are blinded to the truth, they will want to restore the temple in the area of the Dome of the Rock or Mount Moriah and thus we learn from Daniel and from 2 Thessalonians this will be the place of the desolation and bring on the return of the real Messiah Yeshua/Jesus for us, but for them Ha ‘Moshia/Anti-Christ.

For many believers reading this world-wide, you encompass the Holy Bible and praise the Lord for that, but in the west to much doctrines and replacement theology has blinded many from the truth!

John 12:40, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 2:11.

Humanity Gathered!

End of the Heavens?

This is another interesting area for discussion in relation to what it might mean in that people with faith before the flood and the days of Noah are being gathered for the Lord Day.

This may answer the question as to why God confused humanity at Babel in relation to the tower that they were constructing into the heaven, something that they once had to cross space possibly to other human habitation in the Universe and God was not going to allow those in the heavens to be spoiled anymore by the violent sin of Tubal-Cain?

This does not mean that humans in other places are without sin, we do understand from the Holy scriptures that the universe as we know it is in decay, it has fallen too with that of the sin of Eve!

Mark 13:27b, (24-27), Genesis 11:1-4, Deuteronomy 1:28, 4:32, 30:4, Job 8:8, (Matthew 24:26-31, Luke 21{25-28).

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.

Resurrection….

And not Reincarnation?

This is a fine line doctrine that was much popular in the 19th Century with many in the protestant ministry and one has to wonder if they were really born again!

Jesus was not re-made as a copy of Himself, He died on the cross was buried and our Father God raised Him from the grave in the same body, very much as Jesus resurrected Lazarus!

Today many people who claim a faith in God, deny the resurrection, for many reasons? They believe in Jesus death and atonement for sins, but they fail to understand that without His rising we cannot be saved!

John 11:25, Acts 1:22, Romans 1:4, 1 Corinthians 15:12-13, 1 Peter 1:3.

Stephen!

The cost for loving Jesus?

Most of us will never have to face death for our faith in God, but many do around the world and more so during Christmas and Easter from deceived and sick people who fail to grasp the truth even about their own religions or atheism!

Many of us do face some form of intimidation, insult and attack from the world daily and it is hard at times to love these idiotic nasty people?

We can be attacked even in fellowship by our so called brothers and sisters, out of spite and jealousy, arguments boil over nothing and can lead to bitter roots something we are warned not to allow in our selves!

Stephen loved Jesus and spoke truth’s that the world could not excuse or hide from, very much as the religious men of Israel denied their Messiah, because He did not meet their standard!

This is a warning to us, that we have to try to reach His standards, knowing that we will fail and that love is one of many elements that make up the character of the Godhead under grace?

Acts 7:1-8:1, Romans 3:25, 2 Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13, 1 John 1:9.

We hope that you can enjoy the Christmas season, even if you are isolated and that you will have a peaceful New Year?

1 Timothy 3:16. Part-Two.

An essential Message?

This is how the Apostle Paul is summing up the coming, death, resurrection and return of Jesus, the Messiah and King of Israel and the key events of the Gospel message in these last two letters to Timothy his spiritual son!

We see affection, strong advice that has to be heeded, because being a believer does not get easier, the more so when we are serving Him in anyway, even just talking to our family, handing out the odd tract we will be attacked by Satan!

What else can we pull of of this one verse He was proved, He pleased, He was seen, He was and is being preached and many still come to Him by faith!

But the day of grace is passing and we are now already in the night of apostacy and things are only going to get worse as Satan is to be revealed to the world, we have a greater commission to reach the lost before it is too late?

Matthew 16:20, Mark 1:11, Luke 1:76-77, 16;16, Acts 2:22, Colossians 1:19-20, 23-24, Hebrews 2:2-3, 2 Peter 1:17. Revelation 1:9, 20:4.

The Kingdom of Israel?

Anti-Semitism in the Ekklesia!

We here this time are dealing with some serious facts when it comes to the Christian attitude to Israel being restored as a nation and a Kingdom!

Now for over eighteen hundred years the Gentiles have enjoyed keeping Jewish believers in their Messiah down and part from that justifying slavery, and many other ideals that are to suit their own agenda of oppression?

These ideas have crossed over from the Catholic Churches to the Protestant Reformations and today to the many new Churches, from the Apostolic revival to ecumenical ideas, community types and other revivals that have been overrun by false leadership?

Jesus did not give a time for that question asked 2000 years ago, because He said, ‘He said only the Father knew! We may not accept now that the state of Israel is that restoration, but when Israel is to be restored it will have to be in the same place that it exists now?

Acts 1:6-8.

The continued Value of….

Preaching?

We tend in the west today to excuse the need to stand on a soap box and degrade our dignity on a street corner to tell dying society around us of the Good News of Jesus!

Christians have allowed the standards of the world to influence us and so in many places the faith is in decline? Some say it is different now with technology and the Internet, but one did not see much to qualify this during the pandemic in the British Isles so it is not true!

The world cannot see and does not want know, unless someone has the courage to speak and share Jesus and from this point to that of the pulpit, people need quality teaching and the altar call for people to believe that God loves them and gave to us His One and Only son, forgiving us of our pasts and promising to us the Eternal Life!

It is a simple message that needs to be got out and proclaimed by believers who will surrender all, not just the words of a hymn on a Sunday morning, but everyday?

Acts 2:26-31, 8:25, 14:6, 21, Romans 10:14, 1 Corinthians 15:1, 11, Galatians 4:13, Philippians 1:30, Colossians 1:23, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 3:7, 15, 2 Peter 2:5, Revelation 1:9, 20:4.

Caught Up!

What we are all waiting For?

The events of the return of our Lord Jesus can be confusing, when we start to look into the details of these events leading to three points of view!

But one here is not going there, but is rather focusing on being zapped up by the power of God to meet His son in the air. We have many verses that tell us much more about this great event and they also reveal it will be like a thief in the night, but we believers will hear the final trumpet call, we will see the clouds of glory coming and the dead will rise before us!

It is the religious and the dead who will be in great fear and shock on that day or night, because loved ones will be gone?
