Ladder to Heaven.

Jesus reveals another side of Him.

Many tend to over look this aspect of faith applied and rewarded in relation to the calling of Jesus first twelve Disciples. We can picture a hot day in Israel and all sitting in the cool shade of a tree, Jesus is impressed by the simple and yet effective faith of this man.

Jesus then reveals to him the fulfilment of the scriptures in relation to their mutual ancestor Jacob, who long ago saw this vision. It made him afraid, since he was in a lot of trouble at the time making a run for the relatives.

God uses intelligent people, He also uses the weak thing of this world to shame the wise! But what He is after is effective applied faith on the basic level and then dreams and visions will be revealed to us to build us up to be more effective in His business.

Genesis 28:12,  John 1:51,  Joel 2:28-32.

Religious Sects. Part-Two.

Religion verses Spirituality!

Cults and sects are based on the control of one or a few people, who have control over a number bigger than themselves. Every religion on the planet has this problem, some groups within the Christian name tag fold, claim they had to break away from the mainstream?

In some cases the formation of new denominations came about by a new revelation, but this are not new sects!

Cults and sects are identified by the leadership claiming they have the truth that no one else has, because their leader has been given a special revelation. This revelation is manifested in their absolute control and their authority cannon be questioned.

Variations on the scripture, ‘Touch not the anointed,’ is played upon to get their freedom to exploit the membership.

Judges 17:5,  1 Samuel 24:6,  10, Colossians 2:7-8,  18,  2 Peter 2:1.

Spiritual Warefare. One.

Belivers and the World.

Our warfare is in the Spiritual realm, while the world along with many religions take up arms to fight in the physical. We are seeing this today across the world with the Islamic Kaliphate?

But the bible is very clear to all believers that we must not use even our fists, when we are challenged by hostile forces, by arguments, ideas, philosophies!

We will have the right words to speak, when we are attacked!

2 Corinthians 10:4-5,  Ephesians 6:10-18.

God’s Control. Part-One.

Little People.

We are an arrogant human race to think that we know everything and yet the reallity is we know very little. Knowledge of things make us wise, but it is how we use that knowledge that will bring blessings!

We have men in Space today, people warning of Global warming and peacekeepers, doctors trying to help people in disease, famine and war?

Yet we have others making finacial gain from off-shore funds and shares in the arms industry, others justifying relations with nations who have a bad human rights record.

But God knows everything, He knows each one of us, as individuals that he created long before even this world and universe was made. He has also determined the fate of us all, but the one thing he has given us is the oppertunity to change, by our freedom to choose!

Acts 17:26,   Deuteronomy 32:7-8,   Jeremiah 1:10.
