An Easter Message for all who need to be encouraged !!

Did you ever notice what Jesus said after he rose from the dead? He said “go and tell the disciples and Peter” (Mark 16:7). The Lord knew how Peter felt after he denied Jesus three times. Peter must have felt horrible,and probably thought he had lost it all, his salvation, his discipleship, his rewards and place in Heaven. Jesus mentioned his name special to reassure him that he loved him and forgave him. Isn’t that wonderful and beautiful? The Lord probably let that happen for a special purpose to humble him and make him more loving and forgiving toward others so he could use him as a great leader and teacher.Sometimes Gods way up is down, and “Who can understand the ways of the Lord? “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8,9).“All things work together for good to them that love the Lord .” (Romans 8:28).It seems like every great man in the Bible that God mightily used had to go through great humblings and breakings, and make big mistakes, and sins ,before God could use them for his special purpose, when their hearts got to the point where they were utterly dependent upon God’s mercy, and not their own strength and self righteousness. How many jams has God gotten you out of from your mistakes and sins? How many times has he turned things around for good in your life from seeming disasters which we have caused by our own sins and misdeeds? One thing for sure it gives hope to us that if the Lord could forgive Peter for denying him three times  (Probably one of the worst sins of all), and then mightily use him, then there is hope for us too. Amen!
SAY THIS PRAYER IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED
Dear Jesus Christ, Please come into my Heart, I now accept you as my Savior, The only begotten Son of God ,I Believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead, Please forgive me of all my sins and fill me with the Holy Spirit, AMEN.

Remember as you read this teaching: In the Old Testament every time it mentions God, Lord, or Saviour, it’s taking about God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit, who are ONE in SPIRIT, and UNITY, but they are three different persons. READ our class’s on “The Trinity Explained”, and “Some Helpful Hebrew & Greek”, for a better understanding. Also remember that the only way to God, and the Holy Spirit, and Heaven is through Jesus Christ. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”(John 14:6).

I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I  believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

SOLDIER’S OF THE CROSS

A CALL TO BATTLE. ATTACK !
ARE YOU IN THE LORD’S ARMY ?

We as Christians are at war against satan and his forces,and we have all been called in to serve in the Lord’s army as soon as you got saved. lt’s not like being in the armies of this world where you only serve for a time, but in the Lords army there is no discharge. You’re in for Life, lifers until the day God calls you home, and guess what, the war still goes on in the spirit world too.

“There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”( Ecclesiastes 8:8). The Lord doesn’t want people to just use him as a fire escape, as many do, but to help reach the many lost souls that are about to fall off the cliff. If you saw someone about to drive off a cliff and they didn’t even know it, you would surely try and stop them, right? Well that is what is happening spiritually. “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” (II Timothy 2: 3,4). “Put on the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”(Ephesians 6:11-18). You may lose a few battles, but you haven’t lost the war, the war is not over until every soul is won. Jesus said, “the gates of Hell shall not prevail against his CHURCH.” (Matthew 16:18) THIS IS NOT A PICTURE OF HIS CHURCH HIDING BEHIND A WALLED FORTRESS WHILE THE ENEMY ATTACKS, BUT IT IS A PICTURE OF THE CHURCH ATTACKING THE VERY GATES OF HELL ITSELF!!! The trumpet is sounding the attack is on, pick up your sword, ATTACK ! ATTACK ! ATTACK ! Come on lets roll ! ! ! ! !

God wants volunteers not draftees in his end time Special Forces Army. They that take up the Cross shall wear the Crown! The Lord requires more of you who are in his inner circle than of the other 70 and of those who follow him afar off. Like he did with his 12 disciples who became powerful Leaders and teachers and were mightily used of the Lord after years of training and breakings and testing and learning lessons. “There is no discharge in that war.” (Ecclesiastes 8:8). Perhaps some furloughs or time to pray and rest, but don’t go a.w.o.l. ( away with out leave). You are in too deep, you know too much. You are highly accountable for all the truth that you have been given, or all you could have learned. Do you sometimes get rebuked by your Elders in the Lord? It is better than getting rebuked by the Lord. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31). I would rather have a pack of hounds after me than the hound of Heaven. “When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.” (Psalm 32:3,4 ). “And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. “(Hebrews 12:5-12). We need to pray and ask the Lord to show us how deep is our love for him ? “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. “(Hebrews 13:17). If you get rebuked and blasted, you can take it one of two ways.You can either humbly take it and submitt and get blessed and learn and grow, or you can get offended and stomp off in your pride. “Great peace have they that love thy law and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalm 119:165).You can realize that you must have deserved it, and take the correction, and just think of all the times you deserved it and didn’t get the correction for things that you have said and done. Just take it and grow spiritually. GOD WANTS TO MAKE A LEADER OUT OF YOU ! All leaders go through the school of hard knocks and breakings. It’s just up to you how long you have to stay in school, but don’t leave school until the bell rings. Are you going to dive into Gods Word and will or just sit on the side and maybe touch your toe in the water? You are not your own you are bought with a price by the precious blood of Jesus Christ . He gave his all for you.“ For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.” (1 Peter 2:20). When gold is dug out of the earth they melt it down with a hot fire and all the dross and impurities come to the top and are scraped off and only the pure gold remains. So it is with us. We are in Gods refining process. “Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” (Luke 20:18). Jesus is the stone, fall on him. “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite (crushed) spirit.”(Psalms 34:18).”For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” ( 1 Corinthians 1:18).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

CREMATION

“CREMATION”

This subject has come up lately and the Lord has been leading me to write on it. The Devil really likes Cremation, in fact his whole plan is to destroy you both physically and spiritually! What if we didn’t have graves of great Christians to remind us and be a witness to us of the miracles that God did through them and with their lives.

In the ancient world, cremation was the normal practice of Greeks and Romans. Many of them believed in the immortality of the soul and saw no reason to give special attention to the body. Hindus, with their doctrine of reincarnation, practiced cremation, and still do today. At the other extreme were the Egyptians, who preserved the corpse by mummification.

As the catacombs in Rome attest, the early Christians insisted on burying their dead. Why were Christians so concerned about the body’s proper disposal? The body of every human is created by God, in his image, and deserves to be treated with respect; When the Word became flesh in the Incarnation, God uniquely hallowed human life and bodily existence forever; “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory as the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14). The Holy Spirit dwells within believers, making their bodies vessels of honor; and As Jesus himself was buried and raised bodily from the dead, so Christians believed their burial was a witness to the bodily resurrection to come. Cremation does not honor God or please him. “How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.” (Song of Solomon 7:1).

 Your body is beautiful in Gods eyes, even your feet, especially if you are preaching the Gospel. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7). “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalms 139:14). “We are fearfully and wonderfully made, Who are you to burn up God’s property? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:20). “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:26.27). Your carnal mind is the enemy of God, (Romans 8:6,7).` Don’t lean to your own understanding.

 

Many martyrs were burned to death, but Christians believed God would bring them forth undamaged at the resurrection. In the context of the early church, where cremation was associated with pagan rituals and beliefs, burial seemed a more loving, reverent way to bear witness to God’s ultimate victory over death.

The first cremation in America took place in 1876, accompanied by readings from Charles Darwin and the Hindu scriptures. Cremation started as an ungodly ceremony and still is! It is associated with an ungodly spirit of rebellion which is as the sin of witchcraft!

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19,20)

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”(1 Corinthians 3:16,17). You wouldn’t burn down a church.

Sometimes one can not avoid being burned up or destroyed by an explosion such as an atom bomb. If such be the case God is able to bring every tiny speck or molecule or proton or electron back together in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the resurrection at the 7th trump at the rapture when our old bodies are transformed into our new bodies which last for ever.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51,52)

After all Jesus Christ himself, the Son of The Living God who said, “Follow me and do as I do”, had himself, his own body buried in a tomb, as prophesied in the Scriptures and not burned up! We his followers and fellow believers, and brothers and sisters should do the same. Who would want his child to be burned up? Even if their spirit is not in their body anymore, their body is all we have left in this world. And it is nice to have a place to go to remember them, where their body is buried and their grave is marked with their name and hopefully a cross so they can still be a witness. When people do this it helps them to reflect on their life and the good times and good things, and God. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, what so ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:11). Don’t be selfish and deprive others of this special time and place!

Beloved this message is straight from God and Jesus Christ his Only Begotten SON, and the Holy Ghost! When Jesus spoke the people were either sad, mad, or glad, if this message doesn’t make you glad it’s probably because you need to change your way of thinking about this subject, so you can be glad and not sad or mad.

 

WALLS

A lot of people are against WALLS today, like Trump’s WALL. Well the Holy Spirit spoke to me about walls. Did you know that God has a WALL that is over 200 feet high around his Heavenly City, and he has 12 Pearl Gates, and 12 Strong,Powerful Angels with Swords guarding each Gate?

“And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.” (Revelation 21:15-16). God wants you to know exactly how big your new home is. The city is either a square or a pyramid. I believe it is shaped like a pyramid. All sides are each 12,000 furlongs in length. A furlong Is a distance of 220 yards, there are 3 feet in a yard. So 220 yards X 3 feet in a yard = 660 feet in a furlong. So 12,000 furlongs X 660 feet = 7,920,000 feet. So if you take 7,920,000 feet and divide 5,280 feet into it (The amount of feet in a mile) you get 1,500 miles. So the Heavenly City is 1,500 miles long and 1,500 miles wide, and 1,500 miles high. WOW ! How about that? PRAISE THE LORD !

“And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.”(Revelation 21:17).

A cubit is about 18 inches (the distance from your elbow to the tip of your fingers), so 18 inches X 144 = 2,592 inches divided by 12 inches in a foot = 216 feet. So the wall around the city is around 216 feet high, and it is 1,500 miles long on each of the four sides. The city behind the wall rises 1,500 miles high. (Revelation 21:17), and only the saved can go through the Gates into God’s Paradise City. So if you don’t like WALLS then you don’t like God’s way of doing things, in fact the Bible says, “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”(Ecclesiastes 10:8).This is talking about God’s hedge of protection around his children, and when we breach this hedge and pass out of his will of protection we are stepping into dangerous territory where we can be attacked by serpents and vipers who can bite us. So be careful out there and don’t break God’s hedge of protection around you and venture out into the devils territory where you can be attacked and bitten. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” (Revelation 2:17). Could this be our Passport to show to the Guardian Angels to show that we are saved and can go in and out of the Heavenly City? Why else would he make it? Only the Saved can go into the Heavenly City. Are you saved.

POWERFUL VERSES ON WALLS!! Make America Great Again.

2 Chronicles 14:7

Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the Lord our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

Nehemiah 2:17

Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

Proverbs 25:28 

He that hath no rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

 Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

THE TRINITY MADE SIMPLE

Posted on by

The word Trinity is not used in the Bible, but it is a commonly used term.The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (or the Holy Ghost, which is the same as the Holy Spirit) are the Trinity. “For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7). These are our Heavenly Parents. If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”(John 1:12-14). These verses are talking about Jesus Christ.

” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” ( John 1:1-3). 

 Jesus was the first creation of God. “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;” (Revelations 3:14). “in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.” (Colossians 1:14-20). After God made Jesus his Only Begotten Son first, he then made the Holy Ghost, God’s wife, or the Mother figure of the Trinity, the Holy Family, the Comforter. Read our class on “The Holy Ghost” and “Some Helpful Hebrew and Greek” for a detailed explanation of why we believe the Holy Spirit is Female, and our ultimate Mother to those of us who are saved, whither you realize it now or not. WOW, what a shock, many saved people will have when they get to Heaven, and they find out the truth that there are not  three men up there running everything. “ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.” (John 10: 27-30). God the Father, Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God, and the Holy Spirit, are one in unity of heart, thought, and spirit, yet they are three different persons. We are adopted into the Heavenly Family when we receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and are born again by his Spirit.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

The Truth About Creation FROM CREATION TO ETERNITY (with Chart)

It is absolutely, and extremely important, that you understand when these events took place and the future events that are soon to happen so you can understand the Bible as you read it. Then you can say I know what that passage of scripture is talking about, and then you can accurately explain it to others.“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (ll Timothy 2:2). When you understand this class you will know more truth than all the ungodly universities and their professors put together.

1.) 4,220 B.C. Creation, and Adam and Eve. God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit accomplished this great feat in six days not millions or billions of years. You can not believe in the Bible and evolution. ” And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:26-27. This date can be calculated by adding up the years in the genealogies recorded in the Bible.(see the Age of the Earth Chart). God spoke creation into existence out of nothing. Adam was created out of the dust of the ground. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7.

2.) 2,565 B.C. The great flood. “And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.” Genesis 7:6 “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the water from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.” Genesis 1:6-7. “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeeth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” Genesis 7:11.The reason some people lived longer back then was because there was a water covering surrounding the earth that filtered out the ultra violet rays of the sun which causes us to age. At the time of the flood God removed it, and let it pour down upon the earth.

JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD

Someone once asked me “Where in the Bible did Jesus say that he is the Son Of God?

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17

“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.” Matthew 17:1-8.

 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:4

 “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1John 4:10

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:3-5

 (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)  concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: Romans 1:2-4

“and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” Luke 3:22

I am glad I know the scripture, Jesus said; ” I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” John 10:30-38

 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”  John 3:17

  “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I  believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

 

Welcome To The Spirit World

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:17-20). These verses clearly show that spirits are subject unto those who are His disciples, even if you are not a 100% disciple, the spirits are still subject unto you through the Name of Jesus Christ. You are a disciple if you continue in his Word.“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”(John 8:31-32). Some people say a spirit made me do it, or say something, or look a certain way with a facial expression, but this is not scriptural, the Bible says “And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.”(1 Corinthians 14:32).You have control over your own spirit, and you have the power in The Name of Jesus Christ to resist or yield to spirits good or bad. You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from landing and making a nest in your hair. “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” (Acts 19:13-20). Jesus said, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”(Luke 11:24-26). Jesus said when the spirit is gone out of a person, seven other spirits can enter that person if they let them. That is why it is important to stay in the Word, and get strong in the Word, and put on the Whole Armor of God. (read: Ephesians Chapter 6).There is a war in the spirit world constantly going on , night and day. The devil is fighting for your soul. The devil can not possess your spirit if you are saved and born again, but he can oppress you and cause you all kind of trouble with his demons if you allow them too. Beloved we are in the end times and as we get closer to the Rapture there will be more and more spiritual attacks from the enemy and his demons. “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”(Daniel 12:1).  “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”(Revelations 12:7-9). “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”(Revelations 12:12b). We have to constantly stay on guard in the spirit through prayer and asking Jesus to cleanse us from any bad spirits. “Now ye are clean through the Word that I have spoken unto you”.(John 15:3). Pray over your children, and over yourselves everyday as they go out into the world especially the public schools, as they are constantly under attack by all the demons there. You also need to pray over people that come into your home, as some people just carry hoards of spirits around with them, like Legion of whom Jesus cast out thousands of demons out of him. “And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. (A Roman Legion consisted of three thousand to six thousand soldiers) And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.”(Luke 8:30-33. You need to also pray over objects that come into your home. They are called talismans that spirits get into and come out of when they find a willing host. You can just say a silent prayer over people and things, and ask in The Name of Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son of God to cleanse your home from bad spirits. Bad spirits can also come in through bad TV shows and Horror Movies and computer games. Beware especially at Halloween, when demons run rampant and are bold. Some people even think it is funny. Don’t be deceived. The devil is a lot smarter than you and me, after all he has been around over 6000 years. However he is not smarter than God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. Ask God for discernment. Remember one picture is worth a 1000 words, so is one look or expression, you can’t hide a good spirit, neither can you hide a bad spirit. If a brother or sister be over taken, pray for them and deliver them in the Name of Jesus Christ and you shall save a soul from death. “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”(James 5:19-20). “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”(Matthew 10:7-8). WELCOME TO THE SPIRIT WORLD !!!! Also see our teaching on “Casting Out Demons.”

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I  believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Alexander Scourby Recorded the first reading of The King James Bible begining with The Book of Psalms in the 1930’s and the Old and New Testament King James Bible for the Blind on 78 LP  in the 1950’s. His reading is still giving sight to the Blind and opening the ears of the deaf. He that has ears to hear let him hear. Jesus said, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63) “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (John 4:35).
