Proceed with prayer.

And go ahead with great confidence in God.

….

The things going on in Heaven right now are far better and more interesting than the things going on here.

The people in Heaven have no faults or weaknesses, nor bias or ignorance, and they’re all full of love. Not surprising they get on well up there.

….

Matthew 25:6-7
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.”
.
.

The whole body of Christ hear a cry that Jesus is coming soon. Seems to indicate the cry comes from the Spirit of God.

This happens at “midnight”, which means right at the end of the age.

Is the true body of Christ hearing this cry in the Spirit right now?

…..

Imputed (positional) righteousness and practical (temporal) righteousness are one package. You can’t have one without the other. And it’s like a marriage, the two become one. You live righteously because God recreated you into a righteous person, and imputes the righteousness of His Son to you.

…..

Spiritual strength is strength of character.

……

Often people mistakenly think of truth as something within the confines of religion.

…..

In a mature house church the topic of “house church” is no longer the main topic discussed.

…..

The Kingdom happening right now is that which is conformed to the Eternal Kingdom of Christ. Such people already live by the same values they will live forever with in His Kingdom.

….

Life and living; the idea, from concept and design, all the way to the finished creation, was God’s project.

It didn’t create itself.

This means all the myriad nuances of what it means to live, enjoy and experience life were God’s idea.

It wasn’t accidental.

….

Who defines what is immoral?

…..

Remember when the vaccine was pushed as “totally safe”, even though the long term effects were unknown?

Remember when you were forced to be vaccinated to supposedly safeguard the lives of others?

…..

Probably, the people who love their country are the ones who pray for it, that there will be a turning from lawlessness to righteousness. Pray for righteous leaders.

….

Exodus 20:12
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

.
.
It’s to honor them unconditionally, whether you think they are good or bad parents.

…..

First, God made the planet, and made it capable of supporting life, then He made the life to inhabit it.

….

We live for Him, and we live by Him.

….

Do you believe everything made itself out of nothing for no purpose?

If so, that is your belief, or your faith or religion.

But it’s an absurd religion to cling to.

…..

In a complex organism there are a multitude of individual components, of which, the absence or malfunction of even just one of them might make it impossible for it to live. Now, if each component made itself, for no reason, and purely by accident, that’s a lot of accidents that needed to happen in perfect sequence and harmony to make the organism live. Talk about a miracle of luck.

Each component of an organism had to be individually designed and created (just as in any complex device) to fit into the overall plan, so an organism is not just one creation, but an ordered assembling of thousands of individually created components. Not to mention all the components which make up just one component.

…..

Servants are either faithful or unfaithful to their Master.

…..

If we’re too busy to spend time alone with God then we’re fools.

…..

Some critics say Jesus never claimed to be God and never demanded people to worship Him, and therefore couid not be God.

This thought presupposes or assumes that if Jesus were God, the proof of this would be in Him going around claiming to be God and ordering people to worship Him.

That is a foolish assumption because it betrays an ignorance of the humility of God. If the Messiah has to glorify himself, then he has no glory. Just as anyone who glorifies themselves. Jesus didn’t glorify Himself, His Father did.

There are several things to consider:

a. Jesus did make some claims: He claimed preexistence. He claimed He was with the Father and sent to earth by Him. He claimed that He and the Father were One, and if you had seen Him you had seen the Father. He claimed authority to forgive sins. He claimed to be the Messiah, prophesied in scripture. He claimed He is the King of God’s Kingdom and that He will judge and rule the whole human race.

b. When people acknowledged Him as God, either verbally, or by bowing down and worshipping Him, He accepted it. If He were not God He would have been a sinner for allowing people to worship Him.

c. When John the Baptist sent messengers to Jesus asking if He is the One, Jesus replied, not by making a claim about Himself, but asking John to make up his own mind by considering the things He had done. Only God could have done such miracles.

Of course, this is only concerning the subject of claiming to be God.

There are other facts which attribute to His divinity.

Chiefly, His resurrection from the dead.

…..

When we are born we are born into this world and belong to it, but if we are born again we belong to another world and to a Kingdom which is not of this world.

…..

If a church is filled with the Holy Spirit it doesn’t need a leader/s, but it will need Elders as facilitators.

…..

Hatred for the Jews, and denying them their ancestral homeland, is not normal hatred, it is a spiritual enmity which began when God made a Covenant with Abraham.

…..

Selective Outrage is outrage selected as per one’s particular political, social or spiritual ideology.

….

A miracle of grace.

Grace is the greatest miracle, and is available to all.

…..

Someone said, they have no idea what it means to be “born again”.

They have no way to understand what it means because it hasn’t happened to them.

It means God gives us a new life.

How does He do it?

First we need to acknowledge to God we are dead in our sins, guilty, and rightly condemned for breaking God’s laws, and confess our need for a new life. We need Him to wash away all our sins and guilt and make us new people who have power over sin. Set free from bondage.

If we want a new life, we must let go of the old life, and renounce our sins.

By grace you are saved through faith in Jesus Christ.

Get alone with God. Truly repent and put your trust only on Jesus. We will need to no longer trust ourselves or in any religion. We need to trust the Person of Jesus Christ.

If you are saved by grace, then you’re saved and born again.

……

There are coincidences and there’s also providential “coincidences”. God’s providence is a great wonder. He’s so great, and yet His eye is on the sparrow, and as there’s a lot of sparrows to feed it shows how great He is. He cares for all people, scripture teaches.

….

The truly positive message is the one which helps conform us to Christ, reveals Him, and helps us to know Him better.

…..

The world says, get for yourself.

Jesus says, deny yourself.

…..

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ, so if He is in us then we have all the resources of God within us. However, for those resources to be accessed depends on a whole bunch of things. They will be accessed according to God’s order, plan and purpose, and through growing in knowledge of Him. They will be accessed through faith, through the Word of Truth, through connection to our living Head, Jesus Christ, and by our fellowship with the members of His body. In other words, having ALL the resources of God within us doesn’t make us independent of others, nor does it mean we have a short cut to living and growing like Him, as it doesn’t cancel our need for diligence, commitment to understanding God’s words in scripture, faithfulness, servanthood and loving obedience.

….

Jesus said, “I am the Door!”

An open door.

Open to you right now.

…..

The Cross was horrific.

It had to be.

Because man’s sin is horrific.

God Himself paid our debt in full.

….

Some churches expect too much, while others expect too little.

Some lay heavy burdens of commitment, overloading people’s lives with programs, while others don’t even know the concept of commitment.

How we relate to other Christians, and what form it takes, needs to be voluntary and without pressure to conform.

….

God owns everything, including the time. It’s all His.

Therefore, we have a problem, don’t we, if we’re not comfortable with this fact.

Creator = Owner

…..

Scripture is like fresh pure water in the desert.

Surely people can tell when they read scripture that is at a whole higher level than reading anything else?

If the Word of God doesn’t mean anything to you, then, if God’s words don’t mean anything to you, how can it be that God means anything to you?

……

There’s us knowing Jesus Christ, and there’s Him knowing us.

…..

That He personally knows me is too wonderful to fully comprehend.

….

Give honor to whom it’s due.

How much honor is due to the Lord Jesus Christ?

If people called you an idiot, you would feel dishonored.

People use Jesus name as a mockery.

It dishonors Him.

It’s like making Him out to be an idiot.

Now, to dishonor Him is a very serious business.

…..

If God helps you achieve something, how much credit could you personally take for it?

….

For me, one of the saddest things in the world is to watch someone zealously pursue a religion, philosophy or spirituality, and yet miss out on God’s free gift of salvation, which is by faith in Jesus Christ, alone. Imagine devoting your entire life to a lie, and then dying, losing your soul, because your own efforts could not atone for your sins. And considering the sheer numbers of such, it’s a tragedy of epic proportions.

There’s those who are trying to earn salvation, and those who think they’ve earned salvation, and there’s those who don’t believe they need salvation, and there’s those who are not sure what they believe.

And there’s those who know Jesus Christ has saved them.

…..

In the world, evil is thought of as that which a person does that harms others.

Whereas, Jesus taught it’s much more than this: because a person might not harm anyone, and even do good to others, yet still be evil in themselves, in relation to God.

…..

Matthew 7:22-23

“Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

.
.
These trust in their own righteousness, as seen in their appeal to the good things they have done.

Jesus calls them lawless.

No doubt, at the very least, they actually are lawless in their inner man and thoughts, if not outwardly lawless, while all the while publicly touted as notable Christians.

…..

We’re either blessed here, today, or we go to glory and have a blessed day there. Either way we have a blessed day.

…..

Colossians 3:4
“When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

James 4:14
“…whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”

.
.
.
What is your life?

If Christ is our life, the things which are life to us must have some connection to Him.

Things done in Him, in His life, by His life, have life. Other things don’t have life, they are dead things.

….

The world is not an illusion, but what it promises is an illusion.

….

Nationalism based on a religion isn’t actually nationalism anyway.

….

It’s not a question of who is right and who is wrong, it’s that Jesus is right. Our confidence is only in the fact He is right, and not on whether anyone else, including ourselves, are right He is right, and He is completely and perfectly right about everything, and He is alive. If He were dead it wouldn’t matter if He were right, but He’s alive.

Acts 17:30-31 “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

….

Whether people are in Heaven or Hell, now they know the truth.
