Come and Surrender your life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ Crucified : "Jesus answered and said unto him, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said unto Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:3-6 ) Are you born-again in Christ Jesus Crucified ? What does it mean to be born-again in Christ Jesus Crucified ? 1. Hear and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified, Resurrected and Glorified. 2. Become convicted as a sinner because you inherited sin's nature(the flesh) from Adam and your own personal sins by the Holy Spirit through the gospel that you heard. 3. Repentance from sin's nature and sinful lifestyle. 4. Believe in Jesus Christ death and resurrection as your own remission/atonement for sin's nature and sinful lifestyle. 5. Decide to live only in obedience to Jesus Christ teachings by praying for the release of God's mercy and grace from His throne of Grace each day and moments of your life even as you engage in personal daily bible studies and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. 6. Submit to water baptism by immersion(In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 6:3-4) if you have not been baptized according as Jesus was baptized before now as an outward sign of the new creation life that you have received in Christ. ARE YOU READY TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED NOW ? Repent from your sin inside your heart now, accept that you are a sinner in the eyes of God, ask JESUS CHRIST to wash you with His Precious Blood shed on the Cross of Calvary and ask Him to receive you into His kingdom and fill you with His Holy Spirit through the name of Jesus. This can be done by saying this prayer and declarative words of salvation thus "Father, I come to you now recognizing that I am a sinner, I ask you to save my soul by the effects of Jesus death on the Cross and His resurrection, receive me as your SON and fill me with your Holy Spirit Power to sustain me till the end in your holiness in Jesus name. Amen". Then you can join any fellowship that *preaches CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED ALONE* close to your neighborhood so that you will ask them to baptize you with water and join them to grow your NEW LIFE/FAITH in JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED daily through daily personal bible studies and quiet-time with the Holy Spirit. On your own, you can get a holy bible then start reading it so that you will have more revelational knowledge about JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED who is now YOUR NEW LIFE especially from the New testament, you can start from the Gospel according to St. Matthew, few verses each day like Matthew 1:1-17 for the first day, 2nd day Matthew 1:18-25; OR John 1:1-5, John 1:6-10, John 1:11-18 e.t.c. Each time before you open the holy bible to study; ask the Holy Spirit to reveal JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED FRESH INTO YOUR HEART thus "Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit baptism of Power and Fire *new/fresh* and mix your written word with faith in my heart even as I study each word and sentence now and any other time I remember it in my heart in Jesus name. Amen". If you have more questions then you can inbox me or ask any Christian around your neighborhood. Great Grace Brethren!!! |

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 10:34-39 KJV) |

"While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50 NKJV) |

Excerpt: Love Not the World by Watchman Nee Topic: Crucified Unto Me (chapter 4) The author leads us into separation from the principles of worldly/sinful lifestyle as the bases/foundation of a genuine Christian. We do not get separated from the world by not using created things like money, clothes, cars, accessories, business, education, professions, talents, sports e.t.c rather having an understanding that the world system is under the sentence of death (John 12:30-34). The world has been sentenced for destruction by God hence we should not be investing into a business that we know its end is collapse The difference between a separated human being unto Christ is the revelation of the ministry/service/purpose of the Cross in our individual lives not just mere understanding. Understanding and head knowledge of the Cross as well as the holy bible or Christian religion does not bring separation unto Christ Jesus Crucified rather the revelation that comes from Heaven. It is through this revelation that any human being born inside this world originates from heaven. It is only those who originate from heaven that will hold fast to the grace of the Cross till the end and be able to return back to their origin at the end of this earthly journey. The author declares "A revelation of the Cross of Christ involves for us the discovery of this fact, that through it everything belonging to the world is under sentence of death. We still go on living in the world and using the things of the world, but we can build no future with them, for the Cross has shattered all our hope in them. The Cross of our Lord Jesus, we may truly say, has ruined our prospects in the world; we have nothing to live for there." This is the only type of revelation that can completely save us from worldly lifestyle. Going further the author stated thus "But we inevitably lose all interest in the world, and it loses its grip on us, as soon as it dawns upon us that the world is doomed. To see that is to be automatically severed/separated from Satan's entire economy." At the end of his letter to the Galatians Paul states this very clearly. "Far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world" (6:14). In conclusion; Let me ask you: What is your occupation? A merchant? A doctor? A student? Do not run away from these callings. Simply write down: Trade is under the sentence of death. Write: Medicine is under the sentence of death. Education is under the sentence of death. If you do that in truth, life will be changed for you hereafter. In the midst of a world under judgment for its hostility towards God you will know what it is to live as one who truly loves and fears HIM. Great Grace Brethren!!! In the Name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. +. Amen. |

"Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, so that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age which is to come in Jesus name. Amen." (Ephesians 1: 15-21 NKJV) |

"On Saturday evening we gathered together for the fellowship meal. Paul spoke to the people and kept on speaking until midnight, since he was going to leave the next day. 8 Many lamps were burning in the upstairs room where we were meeting. 9 A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus got sleepier and sleepier, until he finally went sound asleep and fell from the third story to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead. 10 But Paul went down and threw himself on him and hugged him. “Don't worry,” he said, “he is still alive!” 11 Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After talking with them for a long time, even until sunrise, Paul left. 12 They took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted." (Acts. 20:7-12 GNT) |

"You were at one time spiritually dead because of your sins and because you were Gentiles without the Law. But God has now brought you to life with Christ. God forgave us all our sins; 14 he canceled the unfavorable record of our debts with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the cross. 15 And on that cross Christ freed himself from the power of the spiritual rulers and authorities; he made a public spectacle of them by leading them as captives in his victory procession." (Colossians 2:13-15 GNT) Faith does not make things easy rather it makes things possible. From the moment that you get a revelation from the Holy Spirit till the moment it comes to physical manifestations there are going to be perils/trying times which might even deteriorate further as we press-on in prayers but once we hold unto the correct mindset that warfare in union with Christ Jesus Crucified *is our kingdom lifestyle*; we shall remain focused on the Victory already achieved on the Cross of Calvary about 2021 years ago then press-on even in the midst of deeper deterioration while THE LIGHT OF CHRIST SHINES AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. ALLELUIA!!! |

"let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts. 4:10-12 NKJV) Jesus Christ Crucified on the Cross of Calvary as the atonement for the sin of human beings is the only name given among human beings which is recognized by the heavenly realm, earthly realm and underworld by which any human being can be saved from sin, Adamic-ancestral curses/flesh, wicked principalities/powers in the Heavenly-realm/world and hell-fire. "You were at one time spiritually dead because of your sins and because you were Gentiles without the Law. But God has now brought you to life with Christ. God forgave us all our sins; 14 he canceled the unfavorable record of our debts with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the cross. 15 And on that cross Christ freed himself from the power of the spiritual rulers and authorities; he made a public spectacle of them by leading them as captives in his victory procession."

"ONCE HAVE I HEARD, TWO-TIMES DO I KNOW, THAT ALL POWER IN THE HEAVENS, EARTH AND UNDERWORLD BELONGS TO GOD(FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT)" (Psalm 62:11) Child of God; what are you scared-about ? who is that person scaring you with his/her witchcraftery/demonic-spirit or political-position or office-title or monetary-power or death-threats or threats-of-marital-disengagements ? The only thing that you should be scared-about is sin; if you have sinned in your hearts/thoughts/desires/actions/lifestyle, REPENT, RENOUNCE SUCH SINS AND SINFUL BUSINESS/RELATIONSHIP/CULT/OAT/COVENANT AND CALL ON THE NAME OF JESUS FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS AND COMPLETE SALVATION Because *any human being in any location in this earth who calls on the name of JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF HUMAN SIN WILL BE SAVED COMPLETELY* thus "Jesus answered them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Whoever commits and practices sin is the slave of sin. 35 Now a slave does not remain in a household permanently (forever); the son [of the house] does remain forever. 36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free." (John 8:34-36 ampc) AND "[Again, the former successive line of priests] was made up of many, because they were each prevented by death from continuing [perpetually in office]; 24 But He(JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED) holds His priesthood unchangeably, because He lives on forever. 25 Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. 26 [Here is] the High Priest [perfectly adapted] to our needs, as was fitting—holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens." (Hebrews 7:23-26 AMPC) Great Grace Brethren!!! |

"We went on ahead to the ship and sailed off to Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had told us to do this, because he was going there by land. 14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. 15 We sailed from there and arrived off Chios the next day. A day later we came to Samos, and the following day we reached Miletus. 16 Paul had decided to sail on by Ephesus, so as not to lose any time in the province of Asia. He was in a hurry to arrive in Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost, if at all possible." (Acts. 20:14-16 GNT) |

And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor].

"However, from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the church [to come to him there]. 18 And when they arrived he said to them: You yourselves are well acquainted with my manner of living among you from the first day that I set foot in [the province of] Asia, and how I continued afterward, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility in tears and in the midst of adversity (affliction and trials) which befell me, due to the plots of the Jews [against me]; 20 How I did not shrink from telling you anything that was for your benefit and teaching you in public meetings and from house to house, 21 But constantly and earnestly I bore testimony both to Jews and Greeks, urging them to turn in repentance [[b]that is due] to God and to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ [[c]that is due Him]. 22 And now, you see, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the [Holy] Spirit and obligated and compelled by the [convictions of my own] spirit, not knowing what will befall me there— 23 Except that the Holy Spirit clearly and emphatically affirms to me in city after city that imprisonment and suffering await me. 24 But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from [which was entrusted to me by] the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest to the good news (Gospel) of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy). 25 And now, observe, I perceive that all of you, among whom I have gone in and out proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face no more. 26 Therefore I testify and protest to you on this [our parting] day that I am clean and innocent and not responsible for the blood of any of you. 27 For I never shrank or kept back or fell short from declaring to you the whole purpose and plan and counsel of God. 28 Take care and be on guard for yourselves and the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you bishops and guardians, to shepherd (tend and feed and guide) the church of the Lord or [d]of God which He obtained for Himself [buying it and saving it for Himself] with His own blood. 29 I know that after I am gone, ferocious wolves will get in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 Even from among your own selves men will come to the front who, by saying perverse (distorted and corrupt) things, will endeavor to draw away the disciples after them [to their own party]. 31 Therefore be always alert and on your guard, being mindful that for three years I never stopped night or day seriously to admonish and advise and exhort you one by one with tears. 32 And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul). 33 I coveted no man’s silver or gold or [costly] garments. 34 You yourselves know personally that these hands ministered to my own needs and those [of the persons] who were with me. 35 In everything I have pointed out to you [by example] that, by working diligently in this manner, we ought to assist the weak, being mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, It is more blessed (makes one happier and more [e]to be envied) to give than to receive. 36 Having spoken thus, he knelt down with them all and prayed. 37 And they all wept freely and threw their arms around Paul’s neck and kissed him fervently and repeatedly, 38 Being especially distressed and sorrowful because he had stated that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship." (Acts 20:17-38 ampc) |

"Another parable He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. 26 So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also. 27 And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it? 28 He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out? 29 But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it. 30 Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary." (Matthew 13:24-30 ampc) |
Re: The Christian Chatbox ( sticky) by Kobojunkie: 7:33pm On Mar 17, 2021 |
ochibuogwu5:The statement in bold does not correctly fit any of the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. I know it is related to what Peter said(1 Peter 2:23-25) but there is nowhere in His teaching that Jesus Christ said His body, which He gave us to eat, by the way, was to carry "our" sins. Here Peter supposedly quoted the Prophet Isaiah, and upon close examination of the words of Isaiah, we find something very interesting. According to what Isaiah said, and what Peter was probably stating as well, Jesus Christ died for the sins of his people - the people of Israel at the time- not the world as we are popularly told. So, it seems Peter, was in fact speaking of Jesus Christ being crucified for the sins committed by His people against Him. ochibuogwu5:Really! Sex between a married couples is "pure" and "holy"? According to whom? Is sex between married couples who also happen to be unbelievers also "pure" and "holy"? Is it the mention of the word "Pleasure" in the translation you have there that leads you to include Revelations 4 vs 11 where sex is concerned? ochibuogwu5:BULLSHEET!! Jesus Christ never taught any of this to His followers. Instead according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, there are no marriages in the Kingdom of Heaven. So these fantastical ideas have nothing to do with the Truth of Jesus Christ. ochibuogwu5:All this has absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ but instead the doctrines and traditions of men which Jesus Christ condemned as lies that have no place in His Kingdom. According to Jesus Christ, your marriages and delusions about them are of this world and has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven and the Truth of God which He commands His followers to accept and obey. ochibuogwu5:These teachings attributed to Paul in Ephesians 5 have absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven which he, Paul, was commanded, as are every other follower of Jesus Christ, to preach to the world. Jesus Christ warned vehemently against these doctrines and commandments of men, which are formed by men for the propagation of lies in the name of God. ** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted The consequence of following after these doctrines and traditions are detrimental to the very soul of the ones who adopt and follow them. ochibuogwu5:Jesus Christ called each of those who will follow Him to deny self, and bear own cross. He even declares that He has come to separate wives from their husbands, fathers from their sons and daughters, mothers from their daughters-in-law, etc. If we each have to bear our own cross - never the cross of others, not even that which belongs to our offspring - that ought to clue you into the fact that what you have above goes against the very core of His teaching on being worthy of Him. In your allusion there a man who bears his wife's cross and vice versa... that contradicts what Jesus Christ declared as far as His New Covenant is concerned. ochibuogwu5:Again, this teaching has nothing to do with the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven as taught as Jesus Christ which can be found and confirmed through careful reading of the 4 Gospels where the teachings are written. |
Re: The Christian Chatbox ( sticky) by Kobojunkie: 7:38pm On Mar 17, 2021 |
ochibuogwu5:The above also has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ taught His followers instead that what is Sin is lust, not this list that you have up here. So when you preach against homosexuality, lesbianism, abortions, contraceptive-pills, condoms, fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography, video-sex, sex-toys, anal-sex, oral-sex, withdrawal-methods, abortions, bestiality, voyeurism, exhibitionism, you are not in fact preaching what Jesus Christ in fact taught you either. Lust is what Jesus Christ declared as sin in His New Covenant, and according to Jesus Christ, the only way around sin, every sin that He declared in His New Covenant is to accept(trust) and obey His commandments/teachings. ochibuogwu5:According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven itself, it is ok to choose to be single if you want to. The key here is to resist every urge to place "shackles" on ourselves where God has not commanded any. ochibuogwu5:There is no such thing as "Matrimony in Christ Jesus Crucified" - that is just an idea created in the minds of men to deceive them away from the truth of Jesus Christ. Again, Jesus Christ made it more than clear that your marriages are not of His Kingdom but of this world. In fact, Jesus Christ declares that your family members will become your enemies in His New Covenant. Your wife and Children, Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, etc. are your enemies. Whatever you do or not do in your marriages, have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven... i.e. your marriages are no different from the marriages of those who belong in this world because it is all of this world - in the Kingdom of Heaven, your marriages mean nothing because your family there are instead those who accept and do the Will of God. The New Covenant which is the Law as far as the Kingdom of Heaven is concerned does not factor your marriage in any way. You are simply an individual in this agreement, fully responsible for the fate of your mind, body, and soul - you have no one to "help" you get to Heaven, and certainly no one to carry your cross for you. You carry your own cross and follow Jesus Christ in much the same way your spouse, and your children each carry their own cross in order to follow Him, Jesus Christ. ochibuogwu5:What? Jesus Christ's choice to refuse marriage has nothing to do with His needing to be lifted up. He never told us exactly why He did not get married, but He never told it was because of your idea of a "Spiritual marriage" either. So let's not jump to put words in His mouth there. ochibuogwu5:Now, as for what Jesus Christ said about Eunuchs, it is more than clear from the passage that Jesus Christ left the choice of marriage as far as His followers are concerned to each individual. Also, your claim that the 4 prophetesses mentioned in the Book of Acts were somehow eunuchs is false. Jesus Christ made it clear there are different reasons why individuals may choose to be single for a period or for life, and that is a choice for those who are able to accept such. God, does not discriminate based on the basis of marital status... that means nothing in the Kingdom of Heaven. ochibuogwu5: ochibuogwu5:The Trinity doctrine does not align with the Gospels of the Kingdom of Heaven as taught by Jesus Christ. Marriage, like divorce, has nothing to do with the Gospel of Kingdom of Heaven but are both of this world. These are things that the people of this world. I am surprised that you include the writings of Solomon, a man who infamously had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Were Solomon's encounters with his many wives and concubines also "pure" and "holy", according to your claim that sex between "married" couples that were designed so for God. ochibuogwu5:Ofcourse it is not sex. ochibuogwu5:God never declared that those who are married are more "holy" in any way. After Adam's fall, condemned to perish by God, did his knowing his wife makes him, Adam, "holy" or "pure" as far as God is concerned? No, it does not! Adam and Eve remained sinners condemned to die for their sins. No matter how many times they copulated during their almost 1000 years on this earth, they were never "holy" and "pure" in the eyes of God. Again, this doctrine that sex between "married" couples is "holy" and "pure" has absolutely nothing to do with the Gospel of Kingdom of Heaven as taught by Jesus Christ. |

"At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the childish, untaught, and unskilled]. 26 Yes, Father, [I praise You that] such was Your gracious will and good pleasure. 27 All things have been entrusted and delivered to Me by My Father; and no one fully knows and accurately understands the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows and accurately understands the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son deliberately wills to make Him known." (Matthew 11:25-27 ampc) |

[I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. 30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, [t]good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne."

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith in Jesus Christ Crucified] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope in Jesus name. Amen. (Romans 15:13 ) |

"Now I passed by you again and looked upon you; behold, you were maturing and at the time for love, and I spread My skirt over you and covered your unclothedness. Yes, I plighted My troth to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became Mine. 9 Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your [clinging] blood from you and I anointed you with oil. 10 I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with [fine seal] leather; and I girded you about with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11 I decked you also with ornaments and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. 12 And I put a ring on your nostril and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown upon your head! 13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver, and your raiment was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth; you ate fine flour and honey and oil. And you were exceedingly beautiful and you prospered into royal estate. 14 And your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty, for it was perfect through My majesty and splendor which I had put upon you, says the Lord God." (Ezekiel 16:8-14 ampc) |

"Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]." (Hebrews 11:1 ampc) Faith does not make things easy rather it makes things possible. From the moment that you get a revelation from the Holy Spirit till the moment it comes to physical manifestations there are going to be perils/trying times which might even deteriorate further as we press-on in prayers but once we hold unto the correct mindset that warfare in union with Christ Jesus Crucified *is our kingdom lifestyle*; we shall remain focused on the Victory already achieved on the Cross of Calvary about 2021 years ago ON OUR BEHALF BY JESUS CHRIST then press-on even in the midst of deeper deterioration while THE LIGHT OF CHRIST SHINES AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. ALLELUIA!!! "Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?" (2 Corinthians 13: 5 ampc) May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith in Jesus Christ Crucified] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope in Jesus name. Amen. (Romans 15:13 ) "It is the Holy Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life." (John 6:63 ampc) |

"When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brethren received and welcomed us gladly. 18 On the next day Paul went in with us to [see] James, and all the elders of the church were present [also]. 19 After saluting them, Paul gave a detailed account of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20 And upon hearing it, they adored and exalted and praised and thanked God. And they said to [Paul], You see, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and all of them are enthusiastic upholders of the [Mosaic] Law. 21 Now they have been informed about you that you continually teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn back from and forsake Moses, advising them not to circumcise their children or pay any attention to the observance of the [Mosaic] customs. 22 What then [is best that] should be done? A multitude will come together, for they will surely hear that you have arrived. 23 Therefore do just what we tell you. With us are four men who have taken a vow upon themselves. 24 Take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses [for the temple offering], so that they may have their heads shaved. Thus everybody will know that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself walk in observance of the Law. 25 But with regard to the Gentiles who have believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ), we have sent them a letter with our decision that they should keep themselves free from anything that has been sacrificed to idols and from [tasting] blood and [eating the meat of animals] which have been strangled and from all impurity and sexual immorality. 26 Then Paul took the [four] men with him and the following day [he went through the rites of] purifying himself along with them. And they entered the temple to give notice when the days of purification (the ending of each vow) would be fulfilled and the usual offering could be presented on behalf of each of them." (Acts 21:17-26 ampc) |

"Another story by way of comparison He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. 32 Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches. 33 He told them another parable: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven (sour dough) which a woman took and covered over in three measures of meal or flour till all of it was leavened. 34 These things all taken together Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, without a parable He said nothing to them. 35 This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet: I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world."
