Demons. Two.

Not Always?

Some believe that all their bad experiences are connected to the work of the Devil, while the good time must be the blessings of God? But this is not so, because tribulation to the early Church helped it to spread out from Jerusalem!

God does intervene from time to time in our situations, to sift us to disturb us, so that we might be getting on with His work and not our pleasure and stagnation! The Devil and his demonic host would be happy that we were inactive, thus ineffective!

Blessed are the peace makers and peace from strife is a great achievement, but repentance in war is even better to see souls saved from the madness of conflict? The Devil will one day bring the promise of peace to the world, before he turns and reveals his evil self with the 666 markings!

Shares in the Military Industry?

Business Investments.

It is sad in some ways to say that many people who profess faith in Jesus, do actually invest their shares in the military industry hiding from the Ekklesia? They believe that they are getting a good return from their various investment plans, because sadly the truth is weapons of war always make money.

This again the time of the year to remember the fallen, and many of the Allied nations did fight for what was right in World War-II (1939-45) on three horrific fronts against the meglo maniac of Hitler and his tris Axis forces, Germany, Italy and Japan.

There were great losses, Soviet Russia loosing twice if not more than Europe and the world combined to push Hitler back to Berlin. It is hard sometimes to really know what stand we should take in relation to war? Israel is perhaps the only nation we can look to from a biblical prespective from ancient times to the present day.

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!

DNA and Inheritance. Part-One.

The fascination of Genetics.

It is indeed a fascinating world to see what each one of us is made up of or what we have inherited from our parents. The medical world can now predict what each one of us will die of! Genetics also tell us who we are and where we have come from in our racial identity.

But what as yet DNA cannot do is identify the strand that reveals our self, our free will to choose between good and bad and what the bible terms as Sin.

There are many good things that humanity have achieved in the last 200 years, but temper, anger and hate and that to murder, kill, exploit remains in the hands of God and the choices of us to seek and follow Him.

1984. Part-Three.

Liberalism.

In this series we have looked at what George Orwell was seeing happening in Britain in 1948, Winston Churchill had become comfortable within the new conditions of World War-II (1939-45) and it seemed that those in the establishment were content for this system to continue.

In fact the term cold war could be the answer for them to justify the continuation.

Now we ae going to look at an opposite view of a very open state of human ideas of equality and liberalism and suprise, suprise it is nothing new.

His Story. Part-One.

We Must Never Forget!

We could now be on the verge of another European war with the new Russian Federation, over the fate of the Ukraine. The problems that we face as believers is that of an illegal Ukrainian Revolution, with an un-elected government being recognised in a legitamate way by the leaders of the United States and the European Union.

Over one hundred policemen were battered to death in Kiev, but many leading politicians have accepted the will of the people. Here in many European countries, this type of violence to overthrow a system or government, would not be accepted.

The last time duplicity was used, was by the German Nazi Dictator, Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. Many millions of people died in a World Warthat was  fought on many fronts, but essentially it was for the unification of Europe.

History. Part-One.

Conflicts and Wars.

This is a part of the human condition Sin, it leads us to do what we want to without considering the outcome at a later point. Humanity has always had the problem of disagreements from the family tiff to political, religious rows. Usally someone has offered their services of mediations and this has calmed the situation down.

But as we have seen on our televisons recently many lands are going through various phases of Revoloutions, with horrible violence. It is almost always the woman and children that suffer in these situations. Apart from the Arab Spring, the world is seening rioting and terror in Venuzuela, Thailand, Bosnia, Turkey and now the Ukraine.

Many of these conflicts have a deep rooted Sectarianism to them, which the Media is desperatly trying to hide from us with other names. Despite all of this as believers in Jesus, we have to push on through showing no favoritism. Instead we need to pray for a resolve quicly and a restoration of elected government.

Zyclone-B. Part-One.

Chemical Weapons.

We hear much today about the use of chemical weapons in Syria and how Saddam Hussein used them against the Kurds. But the use of gas and vapours is nothing new, we tend to think that they were invented for World War-1 (1914-18).

Zyclone-B was used by Nazi-Germany to kill 1.2 million people in World War-II (1938-45), of which 960,000 were Jewish.

Vapour gas and acids in the form of Prussiac acid or Prussian blue was placed on the Bayonets of German infantrymen fighting in the Napolionic invasion of 1813.

Mans hearts are evil, depite the claims by many that Humanity is good. We see the ager of Sin in us rise in issues of national identity and immigration.

Terrorism. Part-One.

Freedom Fighters or Murderers?

Modern terrorism is not really much different from anything that was done in the past. It depends which country that we will choose to look at first. In the UK it has been Irish based terror, which has and continues now for over 200 years. It depends which side of the fence that you might be on?

Europe has and many other countries around the world suffer terribly from these kinds of attacks almost on a daily basis. Everyone will point their finger at Israel in how its treats the Palestinians and yet since 7/7 Britain now faces home grown terror from its own Muslim population.

The bible tells all the time about war and murder, most of the books in the Old Testament tell of how Israel had to fight the nations around them. But God is very clear about the differences of a war and murder.   Exodus 20:1-26, The Book of Joshua.

The Wicked Heart. Part-One.

Self, Anger, Temper.

We humans, advanced as we claim to be always find excuses for our failed condition to say ‘Why does God not stop wars and famine, terrorism, disease?

It is really us who have brought these problems upon ourselves, people bigotry, anger, dislikes, selfish motives, greed, envy and does not the list go on and on.

Yet every day God is telling us to do the right things, but we have short minds and vision. We only believe what we want to see.  Isaiah 44:24-25,  Galatians 5:19-21,  1 John 1:7-10.
