STARTING ANOTHER JOURNEY IN A BRAND NEW YEAR

WE ARE ALL STARTING ANOTHER JOURNEY IN A BRAND NEW YEAR GIVEN US BY GOD’S GRACE AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE HEART BEAT AND BREATH IS CONFIRMATION AND VERIFICATION THAT WE STILL HAVE A PURPOSE IN GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION AND LIFE.

None of us know at this time where our journey through this new year 2019 is going to lead neither do we know what lies ahead of us whether shadows to humble us or sunshine to brighten our travel or refreshing spiritual rain blessed showers of God’s blessings, there may be a few storms lightning strikes to shake us up a bit to put the fear of God back in us and cause us to realize more than ever that we have almighty God creator of the universe and everything in it who is still in control of His creation and always will be in control.

We may find ourselves walking through or be thrown into a few fires to test our faith and burn out things still remaining in us that keeps us from the purification of soul, mind and body that God requires of us before we reach our final destination of heaven.  

 We know most certainly that much tempting will be before us for Satan and human flesh we dwell in are deadly enemies to our body and soul they are relentless in their desire to steal, kill and destroy the good that God has put in His human creatures and as long as we live and breathe there will be battles for us to fight until the war is over for us and we are safely secured in heaven.

We know that if we remain faithful to God in true obedience of Holy Scriptures if we bear our cross daily in following Jesus as He leads the way that we should go then most certainly Satan his demon spirit followers and evil minded humans possessed of them are going to attack us usually in some manner shape or form each and every day.

We know Satan’s desire to destroy us is real His deceptions are real his tools and weapons of destruction are many and his ability to use them against us is serious threat to our life, joy, peace liberty and pursuit of happiness.

We know also as faithful Christians walking in the spirit and not in the flesh   we are always on the front lines of defensive battle we are Satan’s number one targets, for if he could destroy the strong of God’s saints he could control completely the earth with his brainwashed slaves of evil.

In this New Year we need to be bold, courageous witnesses of the power of God our Lord Jesus Christ enough to take the attack to Satan and the world standing in the power of the name of Jesus and His blood declaring victory over everything that God has called evil abomination and offensive to His holiness.

We need to stop crouching in fear of offending the world with the truth of the gospel of the cross of Christ Jesus.   We need to stop trembling in silence with our mouths closed and non-actions in responding to Satan and the world’s constant attacks upon Christianity.  

We need to be on the aggressive offense position defending our faith instead of sitting quietly in the defensive position until forced to fight back, we need to be prepared soldiers of the cross taking the war to our enemies the enemies of the cross of Christ Jesus instead of allowing them to bring it to us in our weakest moment.

For clearly Satan and the evil world has declared war against the children of God.

(“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”)   Revelation 13:7 KJV

But think about this and be encouraged by the strength and power of your faith and hope in Jesus.

(And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.)   Daniel 11:32 KJV

In light of all of this we also know that the truly redeemed of the Lord Jesus true born again of His Holy Ghost are sealed with His promise by the power of His Holy Spirit working in us so that we cannot be deceived by Satan or doctrines of men, we cannot be defeated by demons, flesh or the world as long as we live in obedience to the Holy Ghost in us and live always in the Spirit and not be deterred or redirected by our inborn sinful flesh.

We know that as long as we have on the full armor of God no enemy spiritual demon or human controlled by demon spirits can penetrate the armor of God.  

(Please read)(Ephesians 6:10-17 KJV)

As long as we have the sword of the Spirit (word of God) the shield of faith, breast plate of righteousness our feet prepared to go share the gospel as long as we have prayer and faith to believe our prayers we have the weapons given us of God for our survival in this godless evil world we have to travel through to get to our final destination of heaven.

So don’t fear to attack the strong holds of Satan for our weapons are mighty to the tearing down of spiritual strong holds of demons.

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)   2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV

It is our flesh that is our worst most deadly enemy, Satan and the world could never have control over us except we surrender that power to them.   For it is by obedience to the lusts of our sinful flesh that we give them such power and control over us to our own hurt and destruction.

Therefore my Christian brethren brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ  with these words I exhort and encourage you all to walk worthy of the lord  in this coming new year no matter what it brings to us, where it leads us or what we may have to suffer in it.

(“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”)   2 Timothy 3:12 KJV

For He has promised to never leave us or forsake us you can be certain that wherever our steps take us through our journey of 2019 That our Lord Jesus goes before us He walks behind us and He is always by our side, if we hold tightly to His strong hands by our never wavering faith in His never wavering word trusting in His awesome power and strength to strengthen us for He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world ,we will by the grace and mercy of God get through this new year and this ever changing from good to more corrupt evil wicked world.

At this point I don’t know and neither do you if we will finish this year to its completion we are definitely in the last days described by the Holy Bible Jesus could return at any moment.   Life has no guarantee of tomorrow and any one of us could be called to give up the body in a split second stepping from this world into eternity.

Therefore our only hope of getting through this year successfully and victoriously is to turn our steps from walking with the world to walking with Jesus through the world our only hope of enduring until the end is to walk as close to Jesus with Jesus as we possibly can.

Jesus said, (“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”)   Matthew 24:13

I end this post with these words not mine but inspired and written by the Holy Ghost our Lord God and savior Jesus Christ.

(This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.)   Galatians 5:16-17  KJV

(“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:”

Ephesians 5:8 KJV

Remember also that,

(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.)   1 John 4:4 KJV

(Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.)

James 4:7 KJV KJV

(“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”)   Revelation 12:11 KJV

So then if we all will walk through this brand new year in obedience to God’s written word, in step with Jesus following the voice of His Holy Spirit as He leads the way.

We will live it safely, joyously, happily, victoriously no matter what it brings to us for we trust not in ourselves not in others not in the world but our hope and faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ who by the cross spilled His holy blood, by His resurrection from the grave of death He gained victory over the human flesh over Satan over demons over death and hell over all the things the rest of us have to overcome to be made worthy of eternal life in heaven.

By Him in Him and through Him we already have the victory over all things.

The fact that He died for us to give us the opportunity to relate to Holy God through Him makes our living for Him easy when we truly surrender our mind, heart, soul and body to live for Him.

(But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:)   John 1:12 KJV

What and who Christmas is

   Well here it is another Christmas season and the shopping and looking for things to give each other has begun.   Everyone has their attention and hope on getting gifts of their hearts desire, store merchants are trying to advertise and display and capture the attention of the public to buy this thing or another thing in order to celebrate Christmas by raising their profits at years end.   A lot of emphasis is placed on getting and receiving gifts most of it on getting more than giving.   But the world does not know what Christmas is neither can they celebrate the true meaning of Christmas for they of the world don’t know it, cannot understand it and cannot show it therefore the celebration of the world at Christmas time is valueless and without meaning.

   For most king dollar determines Christmas for them if they have enough money they can buy and sell Christmas for the love of king money is the root of all their expectations of Christmas with money they can buy the pleasures of their flesh and create false joy and happiness which gives them a feeling of false contentment that swiftly goes away after Christmas day has ended.

   Only True Christians can celebrate Christmas because they know what and who Christmas is.   We know what Christmas is, Christmas is the gift of God that cannot be purchased or sold it is the free gift of God given by God’s mercy and grace to the world of darkness and sin, Christmas is God’s gift of light sent into the world to bring true joy, happiness and contentment to all who will accept and receive Him.  

   We know that Jesus Christ is the true name of Christmas and He is the gift of abundant eternal life given freely to them who will seek Him.   Jesus is God’s love everlasting gift of life offered freely to those who will humbly accept Him.   Jesus is love true love, He is the Spirit of love freely given from God above who is pure love for the very essence of our heavenly Father is love, love is who God is ,love is who Jesus is and love is who Christmas is and love is who Christians are and should be.

   Only true sincere faithful Christians can know God’s love and understand God’s love, only they can share God’s love because only true Christians understand that true love is a gift from God and cannot be bought or sold with money, silver or gold.

   When one is in the presence of a Christian who is in the presence of Jesus who is the very presence of the Spirit of God in them it is easy to determine whether they have the gift of love or not.

(“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” )  John 13:35 KJV

(“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” )  1 John 4:7 KJV

(“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”)   1 Peter 4:8 KJV

   A true Christian can only be identified by these gifts that only come from the Spirit of God who is love.

(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.)      

Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

(“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”)

1 Corinthians 13:13 KJV

   God’s greatest gift to the human race is love His name is Jesus His birth date unknown but celebrated as  holy Christmas day in remembrance  of the holy night God sent His love into the world to be our light and life to save sinners such as you and me from our sins which were killing us.

   While the world celebrates a holiday we Christians celebrate God’s holy day in remembrance of the birth of our holy savior Jesus Christ our Lord God.

“Let all your things be done with charity.”   1 Corinthians 16:14  

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”   1 John 4:8 KJV

   Are you celebrating Christmas with the children of God this year or are you following the world reveling and wallowing in your daily practices of sin?

   Do you know God, do you know love, do you know Jesus, and until you do you will never know the true meaning of Christmas which is the gift of God’s pure love, light, life, mercy, grace, forgiveness and salvation?

   Mary and I pray you all have a blessed Merry Christmas in the Lord Jesus Christ and a very Happy New Year in serving Him who lived, died and rose from death to life again to give us all abundant eternal life hope of heaven.

God richly bless you all who in sincerity do know Him in love as your personal Lord God and savior.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain

Amen:   Jesus is my life.   (“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”   Philippians 1:21   KJV

Most people are so wrapped up in this temporary world serving themselves, serving someone else, serving this world, some openly serving Satan in the vilest of sins bragging about it without shame, serving the desires of their heart for the temporal that they reserve no time to think about the eternal, pushing all thoughts aside of the day of their departure from this temporary world into the eternal.

Fact is the day we are born into this world we begin our departure from it each day brings us closer to the day we will leave it.   From the time we take our first breath in this world we begin our battles to survive in it until the time we are required to leave it.  

Death is a very important subject to think about I would say.

Since Satan in his sin of pride and disobedience rebelled against his creator God and was thrown out of heaven to dwell in the outer darkness and visit the earth introducing the first man Adam to temptation of following him in his lies from the moment Adam chose to listen to the voice of Satan instead of the voice of God, sin entered into the heart of man and Adam knowing that sin brought with it a death sentence yet he chose to believe the lies of Satan and reject the word of God.   Every single one of us humans since have been born out of Adams sin and in Adams sin we are all under the curse of sin and face the consequences of sin which is death, we all are born with a death sentence hanging over us.

Pretty important subject to think about don’t you think?   Yet most people shove the thought of death to the back of their mind until the day it arrives suddenly upon them and they are forced to realize that life in this world is not eternal but only temporary.

Now it is also important to understand that our heavenly Father creator saw all of this happening before He even created the world and all that is in it before the first Adam was formed from the dirt and placed in the Garden paradise God made for him God knew man’s weakness of the flesh God knew Adam would sin in his flesh and lose his life in the body to death.   So before Adam was even formed God prepared a way of deliverance for him a way to restore his life from the sin that brought death to him and his decedents following after him that also would die because of sin in their own body.

Yes because of Adams sin we all were born into sin, death stalks us all from birth through life lurking somewhere near us every day that we live waiting for that right opportunity to snatch us from this world we all must struggle and fight the battle of life over death with enemies of our body’s always out to kill us, enemies of our health sickness and diseases, fatal accidents, murderers and most of all Satan who is always devising his evil plans against us to kill us if God will allow if he can.   we all need deliverance from sin  deliverance from God’s judgment of death for all sin, we all need deliverance and healing from sicknesses,diseases,un seen accidents and enemies who would kill us in a minute if it were possible.   Most of all we need God’s love, mercy and grace to forgive us of our sins, heal us of our sicknesses and deliver us from our sins, out of our sins and restore us the life that Satan has stolen from us and is taking from us each and every day we live in our sins.

Amen:   Yes the most important thing we can think about is life and death there is absolutely nothing more important.

Yet sad to say most people will shove it to the back of their minds and not face it until it suddenly and without warning in most cases shows up to require payment.   (“For the wages of sin is death;)

Romans 6:23 KJV

God made a way in his holiness and righteousness by His compassion, mercy and grace to forgive us our sins, deliver us out of our sins and save us from the consequences of our sins so that we would not live in our sins and die in our sins suffer eternal judgment of hell fire wrath reserved for Satan and all who choose to follow him in sin.

(For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.)   John 3:16-17 KJV

(“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”)   John 10:10 KJV

(“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 6:23 KJV

If you have not yet accepted Gods plan of deliverance for you if you are not in personal fellowship with Jesus Christ the Lord living in and walking in the word of God obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit as He seeks to guide you through the deadly dangers of this world into your eternal destiny planned of God for you.

Please set aside your thoughts and cares of this world and turn your thoughts to the most important matter of your life and death.

It is not the temporary you should be wasting your time thinking about but the eternal for who knows but God whether this is the day your time will run out?

And to die in your sins is permanent there is no forgiveness or deliverance offered to you after death.

(“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

Mark 8:36 KJV

(“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”)   Colossians 3:2 KJV

How important will your cares of this world be to you in the end of your life here if you have lived without relationship and fellowship with Jesus who is the only way, truth and life the only door opened to heaven and the heavenly Father who loves you?

Your life can never be worthwhile and fruitful to the pleasing of God without Jesus in it.   And without Jesus in your life you will lose it to Satan, sin, death and hell.

(And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.)   Mark 4:19 KJV

IT IS WRITTEN

The days declare the end is coming Jesus is returning in our time and He is coming quickly, suddenly as a thief in the night.   You will have no time to prepare for His coming after He appears you must be prepared and ready to meet the Lord in the air.

You must understand that being a true Christian is more than just tossing the name of Jesus around a few times while you go through the motion of speaking his name and having a form of religious worship.   It is more than attending a church group every week where you are entertained in your flesh by a church choir or band of musicians who have practiced for hours just to make the perfect performance for you.   It is more than sitting for an hour and a half listening to a charismatic modern day speaker sell you positive thinking messages of how to get anything and everything from God you want.   While leaving out the fact that you must repent of your sins, turn from your sinning, your old sinful heart must die to your desire to sin, you must be born again in the newness of the image of Jesus Christ and you must have a new sin free heart to live and walk in His Holy Spirit

Every day and hour you must be able through Him and His power in you to bear your cross for Him as He carried His for you.

These charismatic modern day messengers of the lies of Satan and the doctrines of men will never tell you that you must become so in love with Jesus whose name you mention only once in a while when you pray for something you want from God, they will not warn you of the dangers of your dyeing in your sins and going to a devils hell fire for all eternity.

Theirs is a modern day philosophy one world order all are equal, politically correct no feelings hurt everybody live it the way you feel it all-inclusive everybody is going to heaven doctrine of all roads lead to heaven and none to hell.

Jesus never preached a once saved always saved modern thinking gospel of comfort in your sins and having everything you want to pleasure your flesh from God.    He preached the old fashioned word of God suffering for the cause of Christ and the word of God, repent be born again of the Holy Ghost or perish in your sins was His message and still is.

He preached that we must love God deeply with our whole heart, mind, body and soul and have His Holy Spirit living in us guiding us to live by every word spoken by the mouth of God.   We cannot rely on the doctrines of men and the lusts of our flesh to give us endurance in this war of Satan against our bodies and souls.

In order to be saved so that we can overcome the hard severe tempting, trials, testing’s and tribulations of Satan and our own flesh and endure to the end.   We must know Jesus and have a very personal relationship with Him.     Calling yourself Christian and practicing religion will not be enough for it will not get you victory over Satan, sin, death and hell and into God’s heaven.

So are you really ready for the coming of Jesus?   Perhaps you say you are a Christian and because you say it that makes you ready but I ask are you ready?   Is it possible for a Christian to miss the calling up of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ?   Is it possible for a Christian to fall by the wayside lose their love for God and be deceived and defeated by the forces of evil.

I think yes.   Why do I think yes?

Because Jesus warned us that in the last days false Christs, false teachers and false prophets would arise in the church and would deceive many.   He said because of the love for sin the love of many would become cold.

Sin in our lives will never give us power to overcome Satan and the world in fact sin will work the very opposite it will have power over us and keep us under the control of Satan defeating us in every way until it completely destroys us in this world and in the world to come separates us from God forever.

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”   Matthew 24:24

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”   Matthew 24:13

“Jesus said, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”   Matthew 24:12

The hardest task for preachers of the true full gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in today’s generation of luke warm, cold backslidden Christians is to preach the truth to them.

They have believed so many lies and false doctrines of men and devils that their hearts have become so hardened to the truth that they can’t handle the truth when they hear it.

Satan is so successful at twisting the truth of Holy Scriptures and deceiving them with half-truths and lies concerning God’s word that many who profess themselves to be Christians are a greater threat and enemy to the true church of Jesus Christ and the men and women having the true call of God upon them.    Religious Christians are bigger threat to the preaching of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ than atheists and unbelievers.

It is so much easier to preach the gospel to unbelievers, agnostics and atheists than it is to preach to those Christians caught up in half-truths and lies concerning the Holy Scriptures.

It is the hardest thing in the world to instruct or warn those who have just a little knowledge of the Scriptures and won’t bother to seek out the truth of them for themselves.

So many professing Christians in today’s world love the world and the sins of it more than God that they have no room in their heart to love God, study His word, obey His instructions or truly follow Jesus.

They had rather listen to the voice of Satan and his little demon spirits who follow him than to hear the voice of God speaking from His holy word and the Holy Spirit of God speaking from the lips of His called, sanctified anointed pastors and preachers instructing them and warning them to be careful who they believe and follow.

They had rather question the word of God in obedience to that little voice of Satan who first enters their mind with his words of doubt and then fills their heart with it,” Yea, hath God said”. Concerning something that God said was sin and abomination in His sight and warns us all to stay away from because the wages of sin is death.

It is not a matter of ye hath God said it is a matter yes God commands.

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”   Genesis 3:1

Every time God says, “Come out from among them be separate from them and don’t touch that unclean thing He means it!

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,”   2 Corinthians 6:17

There is no room for compromise, inclusion or acceptance of what God says is sin and abomination in His sight.   There is only God’s command to observe and obey His laws of righteousness or perish in our sins.

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."   John 8:24

God recognizes no political correctness no equality with sin.   When it comes to sinners God is not concerned about whether He hurts our feelings, God through His Holy Spirit warns us all convicts us all of sin and commands repentance, turning away from and separating ourselves from sin which leads to wickedness and in the end death and eternal punishment of the wicked soul in a devils lake of hell fire.

Jesus warned us to beware of false Christs, false teachers, false preachers and false prophets that would be numerous and very challenging to the truth of His gospel in the last days.

There are many voices flowing through our ears many doctrines being expounded to us and God leaves it up to us to determine the truth from the lies Jesus warns us not to be deceived.

We had better read and search the Holy Scriptures for ourselves measuring everything we hear and see with God’s word.  We had better be keen in listening for the voice of the Holy Ghost for it is He who will teach us and interpret the word of God to us only through the written word.   It is He who will reveal the truth to us and expose the lies and the liars.

God sends preachers and prophets to warn and encourage from the Holy Scriptures, He sends pastors to feed and nourish His church with His word.   They are never sent to interpret it from their own view point or form their own doctrines or opinions from it only to preach it.

God wrote the Holy Bible and only the Holy Ghost can and will interpret it to those who sincerely read it and search out its truths for themselves.

In reality there are only two kinds of people in this world.

There is God hating world loving, sin loving, truth hating people so caught up in the ways and pleasures of this world that they have no room for God in their lives and don’t want anything to do with him.

There is people who call themselves Christians but they are cold,luke warm, world loving, sin loving pleasure seeking confessing God with their mouths but their hearts are hardened against His word and they are far from Him and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”   Matthew 24:12

Brothers and sisters the Holy Scriptures warn us that our God is a very Jealous God He will not allow us to share our love with sin and the world.   He commands us to love Him with our whole heart, mind, body and soul and keep all His righteous laws and commandments which are good to the saving of our souls.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”   John 14:15

Seeing then that there is only two kinds of people we can be and that we are in one group or the other.

We are either living the truth or living the lie.   We love God and hate sin or we love sin and hate God.

We cannot love both and live in the way of both.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”   1 John 2:15

 The lives we live daily will testify of which group we are part of we cannot fool the world for the world knows its own, we cannot fool Satan for Satan knows whom he has deceived with his lies.

And we cannot fool God because He knows our heart better than anyone.

We only fool ourselves if we think we can live double lives for we cannot serve two masters we will love the one and hate the other or we will be devoted to the one we love the most.

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”   Matthew 6:24

It is time we search our own heart and arrive at the answer of which group we live in, whose we are and whom we worship and serve.

Prophets, pastors, preachers and teachers called by God sanctified by the will of God, anointed by the power of His Holy Spirit can only warn us of the consequences of listening to Satan’s lies and doctrines of men they cannot determine the condition of our heart for they cannot see inside of us.

But know that God sees the heart of every living soul nothing is hid from Him.

 When we come down to the end of this life’s journey and by the fact that we are all eternal living souls created by God to live forever in one place or the other and there is also only two places for us to go after death.  

Heaven or hell.

And our decision of which group we choose to live in on earth will very much determine where we live in eternity.

If your journey were to end right now where would you go?   Only you can make that decision.

I made mine many years ago and have never regretted the decision to follow Jesus that I made and it is that choice that keeps me enduring today.

 Be assured on the other side of the grave God will make His decision based upon your decision and He will give you your eternity according to which group you have lived your life with and in and by your choices you have made.

Backsliding Christian it is time for your return to God it is time for you to lay down your sins take up your cross daily and follow Jesus.

It is time for revival in your life!!!

In the words of a great man of God who preached the word of God like it is written.

William Ashley "Billy" Sunday (November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was an American athlete who, after being a popular outfielder in baseball's National League during the 1880s, became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century.

“A revival does two things. First it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!” (Billy Sunday)

 

 

SECULAR HISTORY RECORDS IT, BIBLE HISTORY RECORDS IT, and uncountable numbers of people of all races all classes rich and poor. Educated, uneducated, illiterate, handicapped and those having all of their bodily functions have testified to marvelous supernatural miraculous works of God in their lives.

Amazing miraculous, impossible things happen every day in this world and in someone’s life how much more proof could God show of Himself.

Anyone who cannot see the hands of God in all of this must be totally blind, totally deaf and totally dumb.

Human logic will never see God only faith in the works we see God doing will reveal God presence.

Man’s wisdom is so limited and finite that He can never comprehend God through it.

No, no, no a thousand times no your logic will never prove God to you.   It is only through faith in His marvelous works that you will see Him and once you have seen Him and experienced His power and love in your life you can never deny Him.

God has made it so that only your spirit in faith can see Him and he has given everyone a little bit of faith at their birth even a small child has enough faith to sense right from wrong and the presence of God in their conscience.  

The Holy Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God.   “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”   Hebrews 11:6

There is nothing that anyone can do no scientific study experiments or human works will prove God to them who do not believe in Him because of His glorious power and works they can see.

Multitudes upon multitudes have gone to their graves with their testimony to the fact of Jesus Christ.   Thousands upon thousands in every generation have been severally persecuted, slaughtered, murdered and killed for their testimony of Jesus Christ.   Their hearts, minds and lives radically changed by this man called Jesus who proves Himself God Almighty.

None would deny Him even though it meant their physical death.

Their lives living proof that they had seen God many with their natural eyes such as the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus to persecute, imprison and kill Christians of his day but most see him through spiritual eyes of faith because of the works they see Him do.   Works so wondrous that no other man who has ever lived did do, could do or have ever done.   Lives so radically changed in a moment’s time after their encounter with Jesus that those who knew them, have known them or would ever know them could not deny the change they saw in them.  

I being one of them meeting Jesus some 55 years ago do testify that I have seen God do so many wondrous things in my life and my family’s and in the lives of many others whom I know and have known in the past.   Do testify that I know, that I know Jesus is the manifestation of God in the flesh though my physical eyes I have never seen him His Holy Spirit working in me confirms the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are one God confirming Himself Almighty God to the world by the miracles and wonders of the impossible which He does do in the lives of all who will recognize Him and believe in him.

Yes Jesus is real and truly is the one God, Lord and savior of all who will open their eyes, hearts and minds to see Him by believing the miraculous works that He has done, He does and is doing in the lives of multitudes upon multitudes who cannot deny Him and those who see those undeniable works have no excuse for their unbelief and blindness of stupidity.

Those who have any common sense at all cannot and will not deny that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.

And those who through the blindness of their minds and hearts will not even seek Him.   Those who through the logic of men who will not believe in a person whom they cannot see in physical body.   Even though they are willing to believe in unproven theories, doctrines and lies of men and demons.    Who do deny Him in spite of all evidence, facts and proof of His miraculous works in the earth, in His creation and in the lives of all who come to Him, will one day bow in shame before Him and confess that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord God of all.

Not understanding in their little finite minds that if God were to show Himself to them in all of His holiness and total righteousness their eyes would burn out of their sockets because of the brightness of His glory they could not look upon Him as He is.   (Acts 9:1-18)

This is why God only allows us human creatures to see Him through Jesus, His word written in the Holy Bible or His glorious works in the world.

If this is not enough proof of the existence of God the heavenly Father. Jesus Christ His Son and the Holy Ghost, if one cannot believe because of what they see him doing in the world then they will just have to die in unbelief and be convinced on the other side of the grave.

Therefore we will believe in Him because of His wondrous works of creation and the works we see Him do when we see Him do the impossible that no man can do.  

We will believe in Him because of His Holy Spirit who confirms His presence in us.

Or we will reject all these undeniable proofs He gives us and deny Him to our own peril.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”   John 14:9

“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”   John 20:29

“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.”

John 14:11

“so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow-- of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth—“   Philippians 2:10

“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”   Romans 14:11

 

 

SILENCE IS ACCEPTANCE

I knew a guy who was arrested for being an accomplice to a crime which he actually had no part in.   He simply knew the man who had committed the crime and saw him commit the crime without trying to stop him from committing the crime and without reporting the crime to the police.

When he was arrested he didn’t understand why he was being arrested asked for answers and was told that even though he did not take part in the crime he was just as guilty as the one who committed the criminal act because he made no efforts to stop him or to report him to the police.

Therefore according to law a person doesn’t have to commit the actual crime to be guilty they only have to see it done and remain silent while it is being committed.

Christians when we see sin and wickedness being committed all around us by family members, friends or even strangers and say nothing to warn them of the consequences of their actions or do nothing in attempt to encourage them not to do it we make ourselves a party to their sinful deeds and are considered an accomplice by our inaction and silence.

By our silence and failure to speak out against sin we condone sin and show no love for the sinner, by our silence we show no hatred for sin.

“When I say to the wicked, 'You wicked person, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.”   Ezekiel 33:8

“Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.”   Psalm 97:10

 “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”   Proverbs 8:13

“ “save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”   Jude 1:23

Brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ as faithful children of God we must hate all sin with a passion.   We must love all sinners with a passion and we must speak out against all sin with a passion.

We must remind sinners of the serious consequences of their sinning, we must encourage sinners to repent and turn away from their sinning.

Under no circumstances no matter the cost to us should we watch them live in their sins and die in their sins remaining silent.

For God has said,” I will hold you accountable for their blood.”   Ezekiel 33:8
