Sure thing! Jesus is Coming Back

  The Gospel must be proclaimed even by the weakest vessel among us.   We are not guaranteed positive results as if our precepts are coming from the world, but our teachings are coming from the Bible and as such we should expect persecution with it.   Do not expect friendship to come from the world when you have done your best to proclaim that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he died for our sins because they will laugh at you and say: “What sins?” Remain faithful for faithfulness goes a long way.   Besides all this you must proclaim that Jesus is coming back soon and that means he is coming back very soon because it has been already over 2000 years that He was here the first time. But, let no one panic if you are not yet ready for His coming, all you have to do is to accept Jesus Christ in your heart and you will have eternal life if you believe He is the Son of God and your Savior.   After I had done that on March 21, 1979, I became instantly a Christ...

Chosen But Not Forgotten (1 Peter 1:1-2; Proverbs 14:30)

“I am writing to God’s chosen people who are living as foreigners in the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.  God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy.  As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.  May God give you more and more grace and peace.” (1 Peter 1:1-2) “A peaceful heart. leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones” (Proverbs 14:30) After the Apostle Peter introduces himself, he reminds these believers that they are foreigners where they live.   He does not necessarily remind them of this as a put-down, but as a state to be proud of.   You are foreigners suggest that you belong to someone else.   You have obtained the priceless position of “chosen people” belonging to God, being holy by his Holy Spirit. This valuable position has placed us as subject of obedience by our own volition and even better we have Jesus Christ...

A Mind At Peace

    We have a strong city: he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks .   Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.   You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.   Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26:1-4)     We have a strong city because it is filled with the strength and power of the Lord. Faith is what overcomes the world and with that faith the righteous nation is validated. No fear in her since her walls and bulwarks are set up with salvation. We have no good enough reason not to trust the Lord. We have the evidence based on his reputation from the past dealings in our lives. Don’t we know it is about time we trust the Lord. We cannot be negative or doubtful anymore. It is a waste of time and resources. Trusting him is a calling on our life. It is no longer a gentle request but a calling to our life. By trusting him we mak...
