THE POWERFUL AND GOD'S KINGDOM.

Image
Keep in mind that it is natural in this world where so many are striving for distinction, to make special those who have distinguished themselves.  In the twenty first century Celebrity worship is a staple of the world.  Because of their wealth and their media exposure, there are extremely powerful and influential people in all walks of life. This type of power is not a part of God’s kingdom. Powerful people know that they’re powerful.  The church should be the one place where this earthly power has no influence at all because we are all brothers and sisters alike in Christ, regardless of societal or political rank, wealth or race. "It is by no casual, accidental touch that wealthy, world-loving, world-worshiping souls can be drawn to Christ. These persons are often the most difficult of access. Personal effort must be put forth for them by men and women imbued with the missionary spirit, those who will not fail or be discouraged."  (Ellen G. White, The Min...

DISCIPLING THE POWERFUL.

Image
The early disciples were not naturally equipped with the courage or the strength of the mind that would be needed to go up against someone with great power.  This was given to them through the power of the Holy Spirit when it was needed, but normally the early disciples were just common ordinary men and women. This is what makes what Peter and John did so incredible.  These were just ordinary commoners going up against the most rich and powerful in the land in that day. There were a number of priests who, in serving their allotted week's Temple service (Luke 1:8, 23), were not far from Salomon's Colonnade.  They were able to hear Peter's declarations about Jesus as the Messiah. This alarmed them at what they considered dangerous teaching against Jewish authority.  Think about it.  There are a lot of countries in the world today that do not have freedom of speech as found in the United States of America.  The news is full of horrow stories of what ha...

Discipling the Sick.

Image
Discipling the Sick. Healing and discipling the sick has more to it than just healing the body.   Jesus' goal was to heal the entire person, mind, body and soul.  Jesus came not only to give man good health but also peace and perfect character.  It was through all three of these things that He made people well and when we disciple the sick, that should be our goal also.  When Jesus healed, He used the opportunity for implanting divine principles in the mind and soul. with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” THE HEALING MESSIAH. Luke 4:17-19 - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Jesus was not only sent to earth to preach deliverance but also to heal the ph...

CAN YOU CAN TALK TO THE DEAD.

Image
The Christian Bible well documents the idea in many scriptures that there are angels who God directs to minister to humans. These angels do not contact humans on their own and humans cannot contact them. That is not without God's express permission. This is talking about God's angels, not all angels. There are angels that were created by God, that chose to rebel against God. Satan is one of them. When he rebelled, he took one third of all angels that were created by God with him. These are what most Christians refer to as Fallen angels or demons. These angels, along with Satan , can and will communicate with you.  They will do this for one reason and one reason only. The reason is to deceive you. These angels that communicate with humans are not dead people. They are a creation of God, created as an angel that dwells in the spiritual realm. The Bible does not teach nor will you find any scripture that supports the idea that the dead come ba...

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SACRIFICE TO GOD FOR OUR ETERNAL SALVATION.

Image
UNDERSTANDING JESUS CHRIST, WHO HE HIS AND WHY HE DIED, IS YOUR TICKET TO ETERNAL LIFE AND IMORTALITY! The following passage is a vivid description of the Christian's Lord and Savior , Jesus Christ . It Clearly gives us a clear picture of His life how He was despised, tortured and executed. It Also tells us that this was done by God, His Father, in order to provide salvation for mankind. But, all that is not the only remarkable part about this passage, (LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR, THAT IS THE IMPORTANT PART, but not the only remarkable part). The other remarkable part about this passage is that it was written by a prophet of God more than 700 years before Jesus Christ was even born. This passage is clear evidence of the death of Jesus as a powerful atonement where Jesus substituted His very life in a sacrificial death so that we who deserve to die may have eternal life .   "And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up befo...

HOW GREAT IS THE GOD THAT CREATED US AND IS OUR FATHER?

Image
God said "what so ever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." (Philippians 4:8-9). Think about it and what it says.  Think about what God says He will do, "peace". Related Articles: THE CHALLENGE OF PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
