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.

The Cross!

Signpost to Salvation?

This is the main emphasis of the Easter story and the fulfilment of Jewish prophecy in relation to the role of the Messiah Yeshua Ha’Adon!

Jesus purpose in coming into humanity was to make that one and final atonement for our failures, no more animals blood and no more keeping rules and regulations for all like us who have faith in Jesus death and His resurrection from the grave.

We are a forgiven people with the New Life of the ever new and the promise of Eternity if we stay the course and for some of us it can be very hard and costly, but onward we must go?

Much uncertainty remains as to wither it was a cross/stake or tree, but it was all, because when the sign was placed by the Romans above Jesus head we get that shape!

Isaiah 53:1-12, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Galatians 3:13, Revelation 2:7.

Philip and the Ethiopian! One.

Controversial Doctrine?

Both Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch are under estimated in the Christian experience, many believing today that this account in the scriptures was never really there?

But this is not true from the point that God was bringing the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Jews in the Horn of Africa! It also shows us the little talked about ministry of Philip who knew that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah of Israel.

The problem with the Ethiopian conversion is that it does not fit the historical reformation doctrines of how sinners are saved, believing in a certain process for that salvation which today has become a mantra in evangelical circles as sometimes the only way?

Faith is not based on a set or process of doctrines, but rather on the power of God to change our hearts, to no longer be hostile to Him. The other reason for the avoidance of dealing with this area is the old one of white racism to black people, and in some cases that not all black Christians are really born-again?
