Spiritual Warfare!

What is it?

For many believers it is not a experience, but rather an everyday occurrence in that we have the ability to challenge the worlds language, with the truth of Gods words!

We do not fight flesh with their weapons, but with our sword of the Holy Spirit, who is truth to a decaying world and society around us?

Suffering is part of this spiritual package, for we have to learn and be taught by Gods power how speak at the right time and not to be undone by their trickery and wilds!

John 3:3, 19, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, 1 Timothy 4:1-5.

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.

Islam, not a religion of much peace?

7/10/23. Thirteen plus hundred people Murdered!

Even before this terrible event in Israel one could not describe Islam as a religion of peace as it likes to be seen by the its self, many nations in conflict are up against Islamic fundamentalism and when it is not that it is the sectarianism between Shia and Sunni Islam?

No matter where in the world Muslims live, there is a anti-Jewish and Christian mentality, a hostility that they must have their way over every other belief system and if let be more and more is taken until they dominate with violent threats to convert to their way of thinking!

Islam came to the fore in the sixth Century and contains about two-thirds of the Holy Bible in the Qumran, but the interpretation is way off and the New Testament/Injil is seen as corrupt, while some books are false or have key sections on salvation removed.

Jesus/Isa is seen as a human man, a great Prophet, and all that is spiritual about Him and other areas are discounted proving that they have a limited insight, even less than the Jewish faith! Yet they claim much, including the right to Palestine a Roman concept and Jerusalem, which is really the home of the Jewish Temple, where both the Anti-Christ and Jesus will be revealed.

Matthew 10:28, Mark 9:31, Luke 12:4, John 8:37-40, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, Revelation 6:8.

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.
