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.

Religious Sects. Part-One.

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.

Missing the Point.

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.

Risen from the Dead. Part-Two.

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.

Other Life.

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

NO GOD.

‘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.

Risen from the Dead. ONE.

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
