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.
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.
Jehovah Witnesses.
Sadly there are to many religious sects in the world today, many claim to witness for Gods name Jehovah. But most are about financial gain and having power over weak people, who then can be exploited and mentally abused.
It is reported in various media outlets that the pop star Prince refused medical examination, because he believed that praying to God would heal him? The bible does not teach the refusal of medical attention, since the Gospel writer Luke was a physician.
But some cults and cultic groups twist the scriptures of the bible to suit their own misunderstandings. The Apostle Paul talked about this warning believers of these dangerous errors.
Acts 8:30-31, 28:26-27, 1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Timothy 1:7, Jude 1:10.
Within our Power.
God the creator has told humanity His creation, that everything is within our power and still the human mind refuses to believe in God. Humanity is searching for the missing links in science, astronomy and geology, but it will not be found until God is acknowledge.
The key aspect of sin and the fallen nature in pride, man wants to be like God as much as the fallen Angel Satan claims!
God has given to us His one and only son Jesus, the second Adam and the perfect man. If we choose to admit and turn from our failure accepting the Good Works of Jesus death on the stake and His resurrection from the dead then we will see Gods plan in a more clearer way,
Psalm 8:4-6, Hebrews 2:6-8.
The foundation of the Faith.
If you claim to be a Christian believer, but you do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus? You will have some serious problems in relation to your salvation, because Jesus Victory of death is the key to our New Lives in Him!
The resurrection continues to be the focus of the Disciples and Apostles in their teaching and preaching throughout the New Testament and it lays the basis for our faith.
We all have to die, but for us believers it will be the crossing over into Eternity to be with our Lord and Master Jesus.
Acts 17:3, Romans 8:34, 1 Corinthians 15:13-14, 20, Colossians 3:1.
A new lfe form for Titan.
NASA has created a computer generated life form, that may exist on Titan? This will not be known until a submarine is sent to explore the bottom of the methane oceans! Humanity is determined to prove that the bible is wrong, with its hope of finding life of our or another kind at least in our Solar System.
The water found on Mars or rather observed is now known to be of a high brine content. But here back on planet Earth life does exist in salt planes and in the frozen poles at a micro-biological state.
The Bible does not say that there is any life beyond our own, but it does point to certain constillations and this could be a hint to something more?
Genesis 1:16, Job 9:9, 38:7, Psalm 8:3, Amos 5:8, Revelation 2:28
‘I don’t believe in God,’
This is the most common answer that you will get today, if you ask people in the western world in relation to God and religion. But these same people do have trust in people and in materialism?
The bible tells us that unbelief is nothing new, the fool said, that there is no God. Simple people have no time for God, because they are so full of themselves. it is perhaps a sofeter wording for the wicked and evil who only think of themselves.
But Jesus still accepts us wither we are good living, religious or evil minded. If we are prepared to admit to Him our failure, seek His ways and follow His son Jesus then we enter into His family.
Proverbs 1:7, 22, 29-30, Amos 5:4, Matthew 3:2, 4:17, John 3:18-21, Acts 4:12, 26:20.
Resurrection.
There are many accounts in the Bible in relation to the dead being brought back to life! Many reject the fact that Jesus really rose from the dead, that some kind of trick was played, or His body was stolen.
Yet there are 500 witnesses to His rising from the grave and many were Romans, apart from the locals. In fact today people still claim to have seen Jesus coming to them in coma’s and near death experiences from automobile crashes to the surgeons table.
Faith is the key to understanding God, to admit what we are and to choose to turn from our failure and not return to it again. The death and work of atonement is final, the resurrection is Jesus victory for us over the sting of death.
Job 14:12-15, Psalm 17:15, Isaiah 26:19, 1 Corinthians 6:14, Ephesians 2:5-6, Hebrews 11:35, revelation 20:13.T
The need for, Met.
When the ship is sinking or the plane falling from the sky the athiest cries out to God, ‘Save me! Why does that person do such a thing, when they say they do not believe in a God?
Why are the secular society meeting on a Sunday, when they are so oppsed to Christianity?
The reason for all of this is that broken relationship with God comes to the fore in our greatest time of need. We here everyday people say, ‘Oh God, and then go on to deny Him
This is time of the year when the credit runs our and the HP has to be paid off. Many find themselves in debts and fear sets in and God is sought for the moment?
2 Corinthians 6:2, Isaiah 49:8, Matthew 26:26-28, Acts 2:23, 1 Corinthians 5:8, Hebrews 3:13.
Allure of the World.
Technology, sex, money, success these are all the promises that hold us down, making the heart proud and boastful. They hide the reality of our condition, fear, anger, greed, selfishness?
Much of these things today are again themselves covered up and justified by equality, our human rights! When we know that everything is a fabrication to keep us away from God.
The first steps to knowing God is prayer, in talking we will see our need to change our attitudes and then to make that break with the past and find a new relationship with His son Jesus, who died for us to buy us back to God.
Luke 15:11-14, Psalm 25:11, 79:9, 143:11, John 3:36, 1 Timothy 1:16, 1 John 5:11-17.
Ask me and I will tell you!
