A WONDERFUL LETTER FROM HEAVEN (Please read this!)

Mommy,
I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence, because my existence started from conception when I was formed in your womb. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping.

Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.

One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you, maybe you didn’t expect me, but God sent me to you as a special gift, I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened.

A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.

The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore.

Then the monster started ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy and also chase wrong men away from you and let only the right man stays in your life, that man would love you and accept me with you. Above all, I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking.

No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.

The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father.

Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels."

I didn't know what abortion was; I guess that's the name of the monster, Jesus told me so; He said you sent it to me. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful.

It sucked my arm and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Now in heaven I was told your hands and records are tarnished with blood, innocent blood of your own baby girl.

Also, mommy, please allow the innocent BLOOD of Jesus to watch you from this blemish, and watch out for that abortion monster, don’t use it to destroy God’s gift in your womb again, don’t allow this to be on your records again, so that I can see you in heaven here with Jesus. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful. When you get to heaven, you will know my name.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

The greatest murder in life is murdering an innocent man, and no one on earth is as innocent as unborn baby. So killing, aborting or evacuating such innocent human being is the worst crime.

When you think you have unwanted pregnancy, think about Mary, the mother of Jesus. She had the worst unwanted pregnancy in the history of the world. Being a virgin, she was pregnant, yes from Holy Spirit, but how many people would understand at initial to alleviate the shame? How many people will she tell that, “Hey, I am not a bad girl, I’m still a virgin, what you see is from the Holy Spirit” And how many people would even believe her? Since such had never happened in history before her case, that a virgin got pregnant and still a virgin, but your case is not as strange or funny as her case. But then her shame turned to glory later. So you may have shame now, but if you trust God, endure and accept the pregnancy as Gift of God, not as a product of your mistake; the shame will later be turned to glory as it happened to Mary.

If you have committed abortion before, if you have suggested abortion before, if you have abetted abortion before, if you have carried out abortion before as a medical person, you are all in the same page before God. You must repent now, surrender all to Jesus and allow His precious Blood to speak a better thing to your life than the innocent blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24. Then, you must confess to the necessary people for you to confirm your forgiveness. Do not deceive yourself by saying you have confessed to God, you must also confess to one another James 5:16: Maybe your parents, your pastors, or your partners.

If you did it in past and you are still single, confess to your partner before you marry, so that your confession can be sincere. Open up your sins before it will open you up at last. And decide never to commit such great crime again in your life; you may not have second change. You are blessed!

Psalm 127:
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

8 Lies That Destroy Marriage
Every wrong behavior begins with believing a lie.
by Bill Elliff

Imagine meeting with an engaged couple a few weeks before they are married. With excitement they describe how they met and how their relationship developed. The husband-to-be proudly describes how he set up a perfect romantic evening so he could pop the big question.

Then they surprise you by saying, “We want to get married and have some children. At first we will feel a lot of love for each other. Then we’ll start arguing and hating each other. In a few years, we’ll get a divorce.”

Who would enter marriage intending to get a divorce? And yet, divorce is occurring at alarming rates. A large number of people in my church have been hurt deeply by divorce—they’ve been divorced themselves, or they’ve felt the pain of a parent or relative divorcing.

As common as divorce is, I’m convinced that most of them could be avoided. Mark this down on the tablet of your heart: Every wrong behavior begins with believing a lie. Our culture promotes many deceptions that can quickly destroy a marriage. Here are eight:

Lie #1. "My happiness is the most important thing about my marriage.”

As a pastor, I can’t tell you how many people have justified breaking up their marriages by saying, “I have to do this. God just wants me to be happy.”

But according to God’s Word, a spouse’s individual happiness is not the purpose for marriage.

The Bible says in Colossians 3:17: “Whatever you do in word or deed,” do for the glory of God. While all parts of creation are to glorify God, mankind was made in God’s very image. Through marriage, husbands and wives are to reflect His character and have children who will reflect His character … all the way to the end of time.

Every marriage knows unhappiness. Every marriage knows conflict. Every marriage knows difficulty. But everyone can be joyful in their marriage by focusing on God’s purposes and His glory instead of individual happiness.

Lie #2. “If I don’t love my spouse any longer, I should get a divorce.”

It’s a tragedy to lose love in marriage. But the loss of human love can teach us to access a deeper love—the very love of God Himself. That love is patient and kind … it never fails (1 Corinthians 13). It even cares for its enemies.

When human love dies in a marriage, a couple can enter into one of the most exciting adventures they’ll ever have: learning how to love each other with God’s love. Romans 5:5 tells us that this very love “has been poured out within our hearts, through the Holy Spirit.”

Lie #3. “My private immorality does not affect my marriage.”

A lot of people think, I can view pornography in the privacy of my home. It’s just me and my magazine, or computer … it doesn’t affect my marriage.

Oneness in marriage is hijacked by sexual immorality. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:15, “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute?”

In the 21st century, there are many ways to join oneself with a prostitute: physically, through the pages of a magazine, on a computer’s video screen, etc. Paul’s advice is the same today as it was thousands of years ago: Flee immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18).

If you take your emotional and sexual energy and spend it on someone else, there will be nothing left for your spouse. Those who continually view pornography or engage in sexual fantasies are isolating themselves.

Lie #4. “My sin (or my spouse’s sin) is so bad that I need to get a divorce.”

The truth is God can fix our failures—any failure. The Bible says to forgive one another, just as God in Christ has forgiven us (Colossians. 3:13).

“But,” you ask, “Doesn’t Matthew 19:9 say that God allows divorce in the case of sexual immorality?” Yes. I believe that it does—when there is an extended period of unrepentance. Yet, nowhere in that passage does God demand divorce. When there is sexual sin, we should seek to redeem the marriage and so illustrate the unfathomable forgiveness of God.

Some of the greatest life messages I know are the marriages of people who have repented from sexual sin and spouses who have forgiven them. Their lives today are living testimonies to the truth found in Joel 2:25: “… I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten.”

Lie #5. “I married the wrong person.”

Many people have told me, for example, that they are free to divorce because they married an unbeliever. “I thought he/she would become a Christian, but that didn’t happen. We need to get a divorce.” They recall that they knew it was a mistake, but they married anyway—hoping it would work out. Others claim that they just married someone who wasn’t a good match, someone who wasn’t a true “soul mate.”

A wrong start in marriage does not justify another wrong step. “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good,” says Romans 8:28, “to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

God tells us not to be poured into the world’s mold. Instead we are to be transformed and that begins in our minds. By doing this, God will give us exactly what we need for our lives. God’s will for us is good, acceptable, and perfect (Romans 12:1-2).

Here’s the key for those who are now married: The Bible clearly says do not divorce (with the exception for extended, unrepentant sexual immorality). God can take even the worst things of life and work them together for good if we will just trust Him.

Lie #6. “My spouse and I are incompatible.”

I don’t know a lot of husbands and wives who are truly compatible when they get married. In marriage, God joins together two flawed people.

If I will respond correctly to my spouse’s weaknesses, then God can teach me forgiveness, grace, unconditional love, mercy, humility, and brokenness. The life of a person who believes in Jesus Christ is developed by responses to not only happy things, but also to difficulties. And those very difficulties include weaknesses.

That is why we are told in Colossians 3:12-13 to “put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other.” My spouse’s weaknesses are not hindrances. Instead, they are the doorway to spiritual growth. This is a liberating truth.

If I will respond to my spouse’s shortcomings with unconditional acceptance, my love won’t be based on performance. I won’t say, “You need to live up to these expectations.” I will be able to accept my spouse, weaknesses and all. And that acceptance will swing open the door of change for not only my spouse, but also for me.

Lie #7. “Breaking the marriage covenant won’t hurt me or my children.”

When divorce enters a family, there are always scars. I know this firsthand; although I was an adult when my father committed adultery and divorced my mother, decades later there are still effects. Many consequences of divorce never go away.

Blake Hudspeth, our church’s youth pastor, also understands the pain of divorce. He was 5 years old when his parents divorced, and it was hard for him to understand God as Father and to trust people. “The people I trusted the most split up.” He also found it difficult to accept love from others “because I didn’t know if they truly loved me.” And Blake developed a fear of marriage. “Am I going to follow the trend of divorce, because my parents and grandparents divorced?”

Blake’s father even wrote him and said, “This was the worst decision I made in my life. It was bad. It hurt you. It hurt our family. When I divorced your mom, I divorced our family because I broke a covenant that we were a part of.”

Blake says that his parents (who both remarried) have embraced the gospel, resulting in him readily accepting advice and encouragement from them. “Watching the gospel play out … with my mom and dad was huge,” he says.

Lie #8. “There’s no hope for my marriage—it can’t be fixed.”

This may be the most devastating lie of all. Because in more than four decades of counseling couples, I’ve seen God do the seeming impossible thousands of times. In a dying marriage, He just needs two willing parties. God knows how to get us out of the messes we get ourselves into.

I tell these couples about people like Chuck and Ann, who were involved in drugs and alcohol before God restored their home. Or Lee and Greg, who were engaged in multiple affairs. God brought them back to Christ and to each other. Now they have six children and a marriage ministry. Or Jim and Carol who had taken off their wedding rings and were living in separate bedrooms and about to live in separate worlds when God redeemed them.

If you begin to think, There is no hope for my marriage, realize that, “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

We must combat the lies about marriage. The truth will set us free (John 8:32). God can fix anything!

BIBLE TEACHING ON WATER BAPTISM
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Matthew 28:19

Water baptism is a command of Jesus Christ to His disciples; this is what you every child of God should do as long they live after salvation. Water baptism is a symbolic burial, by which the new Christian publicly declares they have died, and are now beginning a new life, in Christ. Baptize is the English form of a Greek word which means to immerse: to place something into something else. In Christian water baptism, the believer is put completely under water, then immediately raised out of the water.

Water baptism is a statement of faith: my old life is behind me -- I am a new person, with a new life.

Water baptism is a sign of repentance -- repentance means change -- a change so drastic that the old person is "buried." It does not make you acceptable to God. As a work of righteousness, trying to obtain a good standing with God, it is worthless. Baptism before genuine salvation is meaningless, it is only after you experience genuine salvation that water baptism is to be obeyed.

Water baptism is a way of giving testimony to what has happened inwardly, and a clear commitment to turn from the old life.

Why Water Baptism?

Water baptism outwardly demonstrates what has happened inwardly.

Water baptism helps you to grasp the reality of the spiritual truth that the old "you" has died.

Water baptism is only as important as the participant believes it to be.

Water baptism is a public commitment. Unless the person really believes they died, there is no need for a burial.

It is not something we must do to impress God, but something to impress on our mind what happened to us inwardly. Water baptism is for our benefit -- not God's.

When To Do Water Baptism
Water baptism is about death -- your death. ("Death" is the end of something.) Water baptism is your public declaration of your death. It is a public confession of faith: I have died to my old life and my old ways. By being baptized in water you are saying that you have died to sin, selfishness, and the world's ways. Water baptism is a public burial of the old life. By asking for burial, you declare that you believe something has died. There is no need for a burial without a death. Burial is not absolutely required, but is recommended as the best course of action. So, generally, those who receive Jesus Christ should normally be baptized in water.

In the book of Acts, water baptism always seemed to be done without delay. Although burial can take place at any time, the best time is immediately after death has been confirmed. Because of the system of various churches, one has to wait for time his local church organizes it.

Benefits Of Water Baptism
As we are baptized in water, we are in effect saying goodbye to our old life (self), and saying hello to a new creation who is IN Christ Jesus. Because of death you are free from your old master the devil; now you have a new Master, the Lord Jesus Christ.

A major benefit to the believer is the clean break that water baptism makes with their past. When the devil brings temptations and accusations concerning their old life -- the believer can reply, "That person is dead and buried. I am a new person in Christ."

Water baptism is a point of separation, dividing the old from the new. It says the past is dead and gone -- drawing a clear line between the old life and the new, graphically imprinted on the mind of the believer.

Jesus' Baptism
Why was Jesus baptized in water? Since Jesus never had a sinful past or nature, what could His water baptism implies? Jesus was, at that point, dying to His past life, that is His connection and limitation to His physical world and family; from that point, His first allegiance would no longer be to earthly relatives. ("Who is My mother, or My brothers?" Mark 3:31-35.) Jesus would no longer be a carpenter. He was beginning His public ministry as the Son of God, and no longer the past son of carpenter. Immediately after Jesus Christ was baptized in water by John the Baptist, “And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17.

A Picture Sermon
Because it illustrates the central message of the Gospel, water baptism should be a tool for teaching and evangelism. Water baptism should help people understand the spiritual truths being proclaimed.

Water baptism pictures the most fundamental truths of the Gospel: the burial and resurrection of Christ, and of the believer in union with Him. By means of water baptism, we demonstrate to the world our identification with the crucified and risen Christ. By water baptism we testify that our old life is gone, and we are now joined with Jesus. We are pledging ourselves to a new life, with Jesus Christ Who died for us and rose again.

Water baptism also acknowledges that the person being immersed is indeed a Christian believer.

So, all who baptize should question converts, just as Philip did in Acts 8:37, to be sure of their commitment to Christ, before immersing them in water. Only those who accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ should be baptized in water.

Which Formula Of Words?
MATTHEW 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

ACTS 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Some people place great importance on certain words being spoken when a person is baptized in water. This is all religious tradition with no real meaning whatsoever. "In the name of Jesus" can mean by the authority and command of Jesus. Colossians 3:17 tells us our every word and deed should be in the name of the Lord Jesus. Certainly, Colossians 3:17 does not mean we have to continually say, "I do this, or say this, in the name of Jesus." Claiming that certain words must be said at the time of water baptism, or that only certain special people can truly baptize you in water, makes water baptism into a magical rite -- a work of man trying to be right with God.

The words spoken by the person baptizing you in water will not save you, or condemn you. Water baptism is not some magic ritual which makes you right with God. Water baptism is a testimony and picture-sermon of what God did in you, and not what God is doing at the moment. Water baptism simply dramatizes what happens when you experience genuine salvation of your soul.Even if no words are spoken over you during your water baptism, it is still a picture of burial and resurrection. Specific words are not what is important, but the attitudes and faith of the people involved are what matters.

When baptizing new believers, saying something like, "In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I baptize you into the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," is probably best. Then the devil cannot tempt them to think they were not baptized in the right name.

Must You Be Baptized To Be Saved, To receive Holy Spirit or To Make Heaven?
In Luke 23:39-43, we have the record of one of the criminals crucified with Jesus acknowledging Him as Lord. LUKE 23:43 And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Jesus told the repentant criminal he would be with Him in Paradise, even though he was not baptized in water.

Also, in Acts 10:44-48, Cornelius' household became believers, received the Holy Spirit, and began speaking in tongues, before being baptized in water.

According to Jesus (John 7:38-39, Mark 16:17), receiving the Holy Spirit happens only to those who are believers, and therefore saved. So, we must conclude that these believers were born again, and ready for Heaven, before they were baptized in water. TITUS 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit” We are not saved by works of righteousness that we do. Many think, wrongly, of water baptism as a work that must be done to be right with God.

EPHESIANS 2:8-9, “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. “ If water baptism was necessary for salvation, then salvation would partly be by works, and not by grace.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:17, “ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.”

The apostle Paul, who received the Gospel direct from the risen Lord Jesus, said he was not sent to baptize. If water baptism was necessary for salvation, that would not make any sense.

MARK 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” What about Mark 16:16? Obviously, if water baptism was required for salvation, that requirement would be made clear throughout the New Testament -- and it is not. Mark 16:16 could mean, "believes to the point of publicly confessing, by the act of water immersion." Or, it could mean, "believes and is placed in Christ." We should also note that the passage in question does not say, "He who believes and was baptized will be saved." Only a present tense baptism guarantees a person's salvation. That is to say: those who are IN CHRIST now, are saved.

Salvation cannot be dependent on physical surroundings -- such as water being present for baptism -- there are too many situations where water baptism would be impossible. Those who make this error do so because the word baptize was not translated and understood. Therefore, they think every mention in Scripture of the word baptize refers to water -- which is not true.

Baptism in water is not necessary for salvation, but is beneficial for the believer. Water baptism provides a good foundation, if understood correctly.

Ungodly Church Practices Of Water Baptism
Some churches involve in ungodly practices in the process of carrying out water baptism; some of them are:

1, Sprinkling Baptism: Water baptism by sprinkling water is not biblical, the only biblical water baptism after salvation is by immersion. After your salvation, the convert needs to undergo water baptism by immersion.

2, Infant Baptism: Baptizing children is non biblical, only after a person is saved by his personal decision at the level of accountability that water baptism is necessary.

3, Monetary Attachment: Payment of money for water baptism is non-biblical, only worldly and lost churches demand payment of money, of any amount, from people who want to do water baptism. A Bible church will be ready to be responsible to take the financial responsibility of transportation to the location of baptism.

4, Mandatory Baptismal Card:Instructing people who are baptized to obtain a baptismal card or certificate free of charge or for money is unbecoming and ungodly. Baptismal card or certificate has nothing to do with water baptism. Water baptism should be simply carried out as commanded by Bible with the necessary things needed: Genuine salvation through repentance of the person to be baptized, water for immersion and a minister to baptize; anything more than these is ungodly and extra-biblical. A Bible church will stick to Bible instructions.

S U M M A R Y
The main points to remember about water baptism are:
* It does not make you a Christian, or right with God. It is only a symbolic act with no power to save you.
* It is a testimony of what has already happened inwardly in the believer -- the death of their old life.
* Certain formulas of words are not vital.
* It is complete immersion into water.
* It is best done publicly.
* It should be done only by someone old enough to understand what they are doing.
* It should be done only by those who have received the Lord Jesus Christ and are committed to Him.

Should you be baptized in water? Yes, if you understand clearly what you are doing, and sincerely mean what baptism signifies. Otherwise, you should not be baptized in water, because it will do you no good whatsoever. Water baptism could even harm you by giving you false hope.

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life? The repent! Confess all your sins, ready to forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you.

THE MOST UGLY MUSIC EVER!!! (A must read PLEASE)
This is the most UGLY and frightening song you will ever hear! In a vision, I saw a naked man covered in flaming worms that cannot Die! He turned to me and heaved a deep sigh as flames surrounded him and he sung this song in an emotionless voice! A voice that held NO emotion only the pain and torment he was in! Here are a few lyrics from the song:

Flaming worms crawl in, flaming worms crawl out in the belly button and out the mouth! In the front and out the rear! In the eyes and out the ears! We scream for mercy yet NO one cares or hears! Red hot pain in my blood rivers of feces, lava, vomit and blood it looks like a flood! Flames everywhere yet they cast NO light! All I have is every kind of pain, terror, torture and fright! I am a Citizen in HELL!

This is the first level of HELL the other levels there are NO words to tell! Hell is so hot it boils the flesh off my skin how do I describe the HELLISH pain I'm in! I'm so thirsty yet I 've not even urine or tears to drink! And OH my GOD how this HELL stinks! AHHHH, I am a Citizen in HELL!

There's NO water of any kind not even sweat to cool my brow, I know from Hell I will never be set free and demons curse and mock me! I scream to God to help me! Yet He does NOT hear! Instead the voice of Satan laughs and jeers! "HaAa! There's NO GOD and there's NO mercy here! I have torture, terror, and Damnation and every kind of FEAR! But there's NO GOD HERE! Hahaha!"

I am reminded how God in his mercy gave JESUS, His Only Son to suffer crucifixion for my sins and on a cross he hung! Just so from HELL I would be free and Satan would have no claim on me! But I refused JESUS blood to cover my sins. I wanted to live my own life so I denied Him! I know I have no one to blame now forever I 'll live in Satan's evil domain with every kind of torture and shame! Wanting to die but forgetting there is no death, thinking it will be better tomorrow but forgetting I have FOREVER left! This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!!

Where the Horror is so gruesome! NO tongue can tell! Everyone who is coming here will have to dig to their own level before they die! And that is how deep your sins are piled up high! But beware the greatest of all sins is the REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST! One torture room to the next what seems like your worst nightmare is ONLY satan at his BEST! This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!!!!

- Sherrie Elijah

Flaming WORMS that looked like Snakes! were crawling in and OUT of EVERY OPENING OF HIS BODY! His EYES, EARS,NOSE, FRONT, REAR, I repeat EVERY OPENING! without getting graphically gross here! The screams yet echo in my mind as I am writing this down! The rich man in the bible who went to HELL told God if he would just send a man back from HELL to warn others his brothers of the torment in Hell they would not want to come there, they would live differently! But God said even if he sent someone back from HELL, few would listen and take the warning seriously! Few would believe! In this end time how many has the LORD allowed to see Heaven and Hell to be brought back to life to tell of the Horror!

So many people die everything, and majority are trooping in to hell. Your friends and family members who died without Christ, or who lived sinful and worldly Christian life, are singing the same ugly songs in hell now; you will never see them again if only you also do not go to hell. If you are reading this article before the Rapture, it means you have the chance and choice to make in order to avoid hell, but it all depends on you.

Jesus only is the way to save from going to hell; if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you urgently need to do that now. If you claim to be a Christian but still living in sin, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus before it is too late. And if you have dedicated your life to Jesus, but living a worldly life of modern Christianity, hiding your sins, rising and falling into sin or ignoring to do necessary restitution, then you are also at the danger of hell. Until you surrender all to Jesus Christ, ALL!

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life? The repent! Confess all your sins, ready to forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you.

DESTROY IT!
Acts 19:19, "Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all."

After you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, one of the important things you need to do immediately is to check everything that belong to you if there is any property or portion of the devil you will need to renounce and destroy.

In the city of Ephesus, after the people received the gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives, many of them who had been practicing magic, gathered everything together and burned them.

Satanic Magic, Sinful Materials, Worldly Music & Movies
You cannot serve God in new life with old materials and covenant of the devil, you must renounce the secret cult, the satanic covenant, and you will also need to destroy all the weapons and materials of the devil given to you. Those things in your house which you kept, inserted into your body, or hid somewhere, must be renounced and destroyed.

Because you cannot serve God and devil together, you can not be a genuine child of God and still agree with ritual mark on your body; you cannot be a genuine child of God and still believe in family ritual and sacrifice; you are not yet genuinely saved in Christ if you still keep the magic book, rings and others in your possession. When you totally and genuinely surrender your life to Jesus, you will renounce and destroy every of those things in your possession.

God does not accept our 99%, He only takes our 100%. Those who give 1% to Satan and sin, and give 99% to God will eventually loose all.

When you give your life to Jesus Christ, greater is He that is you than he that is in the world, so you need not to be afraid to destroy those properties and materials of the devil you collected when you were in the world, you have no need to be troubled about their threats and you must not delay to renounce all the covenants you made with satanic people or churches before you know Jesus Christ as your Lord.

Do not cover the secrets they told you never to say out to anybody. Fear works for and with Satan to keep people in his bondage, but when you know the Truth, He will set you free.

Are you ready to be free from the bondage of satan and his agents? Then accept Jesus Christ into your life and house, confess your sins, confess Jesus as your Lord, and renounce all the covenants of the satan. All powers in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ, and when that Jesus is living in you, no power can overcome you; In Jesus is perfect protection, in Him is total peace of life, in Him is provision without pain, and in Him is security and success. What are you looking for?

If you need godly counsel and prayer on how to destroy the past materials of the devil, please contact us in this ministry.

Genuine salvation comes before total setting free.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

SHOULD CHRISTIANS REALLY CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?
Christmas period is a time of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ everywhere in the world, but should we really celebrate Christmas at all?" I think this short article can be of little help, let's see:

OPPOSITIONS
There two major reasons people oppose celebrating Christmas as Christians. The first reason is that Christmas originated from pagan worship, and the second reason is that Jesus was not really born on December 25th.

(i) Origin: Should we celebrate what originated from pagan worship? Well, the point is that it was actually the holiday of Saturnalia that the pagans celebrated then, not Christmas. Christmas was a replacement of Saturnalia festival in Christendom; Christmas solely celebrates Christ Jesus, and it has no link or connection with idol festival as far as Christmas is concerned today. To oppose Christmas because the similar or same day was formally celebrated by pagans is wrong. If you oppose Christmas, then you will oppose Easter because both have similar history; if you oppose both Christmas and Easter, then you will need to oppose going to church on Sunday, because Sunday was a formal holiday for the god of Sun, and if you oppose worshiping on Sunday, then you must oppose calling days like Sunday, Monday, Saturday, etc. Because they all have idolatry origin. If you still believe the names are attached to idols, like Sunday for Sun god, and Monday for Moon god, and you don't worship God on Sunday, and you mention the idolatry names? Then you still agree with it.

Christmas was not celebrated for the first 300 years of early church, until the catholic, so also church auditorium or Christian conference was not built by early Christians for 300 years until the catholic. Building church auditorium can also be traced to the pagan gods. Does that means building church auditorium is evil? No, but it must be moderate, not multimillion or magnificent as these modern Christianity and even those who claim holiness. The fact that Christmas was traced to pagan festival does not means it is wrong to celebrate Christmas. Today we celebrate Christ at Christmas and Him alone.

(ii) Day of Birth: Jesus was not born on December 25th, and it is not necessary for Christmas day. People can choose any day to celebrate Jesus' day of birth, because He owns all days; only we, the humans, can be tied to a day we were born for birthday.

MUST WE CELEBRATE?
Do we have to celebrate, sing and give gifts to mark the birth of Jesus? The answer is YES? Luke 2:13, "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

Angels in heaven celebrated the birth of Jesus, so it is not wrong for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus, as long as Jesus alone is mentioned and no connection to any idol or selfish purpose. It is not wrong to celebrate Christmas as long Christ is the center of the celebration and everything you do glorifies His name; it is wrong for people who celebrate self or sinful indulgences during Christmas. Christians can celebrate Christ at Christmas and share with people.

THE BAD NEWS
The bad thing about Christmas is that it's not everyday; the joyful feeling, the celebration and sharing do not last, only for few days, and the worse is the Christmas day, it goes faster and ends. I wish it can always stay longer with such wonderful feeling. The worst is that if only during Christmas you experience the joy of the birth of Jesus, then you are a miserable person. Christmas celebration doesn't last, but the good news is that when you accept Jesus into your life as your Lord, you will always experience more than the joy of Christmas. If you have not experienced the joy of Salvation since you have been a Christian, then you are unrecognized by Jesus, you need genuine salvation to have the unlimited joy.

If you have lost your joy of Salvation, you need to get it restored. Repentance, that is to realize and ready to forsake your sins, and accepting Jesus as your Lord, are the only means to have the unspeakable joy of Jesus! When you become saved, you begin life that pleases Jesus, not your self or Satan, you walk away from any form of sin; that is when the birth of Jesus will bring joy and justification. But if you realize Jesus as Savior of the world and remain in your sins, it will only bring judgment.

We can care for Christmas by celebrating Christ, but more than that, we should be celebrated by Christ through genuine salvation and living in holiness and righteousness, so that we can celebrate with Christ forever in heaven!

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

WARNING FOR THE WISE!!!
" For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." 2 Timothy 4:3,4

Do not wait until you miss the rapture before you realize you have been victim of prosperity and permissive pastors. Seek for the Truth that will transform your life to set you free from sin, that will rebuke and correct you.

YOUR CHURCH!
If you see your church preaching or praying mostly on blessings, financial or material breakthroughs, miracles, or physical prosperity - that is, 8 out of every given 10 messages, prayer points or books - then you are in a modern satanic church, irrespective of the name or background of the church.

YOUR PASTOR!
If you notice your pastor, bishop or prophet preaches or prays mostly on earthly blessings, prosperity, material of financial signs and wonders or breakthrough, meaning that 8 out of his 10 messages, prayers or books center on these stuffs, then your pastor is either a false minister or fallen minister!

If most of the tittles of your church programs or yearly stickers/watch words center on earthly, material or financial stuffs, like prosperity, breakthrough unlimited, open heaven of miracles, favour abundant, success unlimited, fast track of blessings, miracles, signs and wonders, and such; then you are in the church of Balaam, you may soon be shocked after the rapture!

AND YOU!
If your priority, purpose and pursuit at this time is about earthly things of housing project, vehicles buying, and earthly success, then you are in danger of imminent Anti-Christ.

HERE IS THE WORD OF GOD!
1 Timothy 6:3-10" If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with GODLINESS, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself."

"6 Now GODLINESS with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Bible Teaching from the ongoing Online Bible Training Course
VOL. 6 - TRUTH ONLINE BIBLE TRAINING COURSE

ACTIVITY 1 - BIBLE TEACHING

BIBLE TEACHING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM
Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

The baptism of Holy Spirit is very important in our Christian experience; it is a must for us as the Promise of our Father. But this has been seriously confused in Christianity today that we are only pursuing it in wrong direction and with wrong ambitions. For us to get things right, we need to go back to the Bible, the unchanging written scriptures and clarify things. Why are we so confused about the baptism of Holy Spirit today that we are misinterpreting the Bible and almost getting everything wrong? When there is confusion, Satan is in control because God is not the author of confusion; and where confusion exists, there will be misdirection and distraction, which apparently leads to lost of God's purpose for the subjection of confusion.

Many who claim to be baptized with Holy Spirit are actually not; in fact about 80% to 90% people, including church members, workers, church leaders and ministers that profess to be baptized with Holy Spirit are not really, if we base it on the Bible. And many of us who are longing to be baptized with the Holy Spirit are getting it wrong with the purpose and why we want to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit baptism is the promise of the Father through Jesus Christ to all His children. Luke 24:49, "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” But what we need to understand and clarify is that, there is difference between having the indwelling of Holy Spirit and being baptized with Holy Spirit.


HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT
When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and you accept Him as your Lord, and you become born again, the Holy Spirit comes straight into your life; it is the Holy Spirit that actually helps lead us to salvation. It is the Holy Spirit that comes into your life and begins to guide you in your new life in Jesus. Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." After we are saved, we begin to grow in the Spirit as the Holy Spirit helps us to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit. Without Holy Spirit in us, we can't bring forth the fruit of the Spirit, just as it is not possible for a tree to bring forth Orange tree except it is an Orange tree.

The strength of our spiritual lives depends on how we grow in the Spirit, and how we grow in the Spirit depends on how we obey the Holy Spirit by obeying God's Word, though daily prayer, Bible reading and watchfulness. When we pray daily and read our Bible and obey the Word of God, we become stronger in the Spirit and our spiritual lives are solid. What it means is that we can be strong in the Spirit, and yet not baptized with the Holy Spirit. There are several wrong conceptions about the Baptism of Holy Spirit, that is, what is generally believed the baptism of Holy Spirit will do for you, which are not so. Let's see what Holy Spirit at salvation and growing in the Lord does for you before you are baptism with the Holy Spirit:

(1) Being Strong And Fervent On The Lord.You don't need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit before you can be steadfast and growing strong in your Christian life. Many excuse themselves that their spiritual weaknesses, like rising and falling, prayerlesness and lack of strong faith are due to the fact that they have not been baptized with the Holy Spirit. But the truth is that, you don't need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit before you can do all that. What you need to be strong in the Lord and to grow in your Christian life, prayer life, and in the Word of God and faith is genuine salvation and devotion to God.

(2) Making Rapture Or Entering Heaven.Some denominations claim that you must be baptized with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues before you can make heaven, such teaching is not biblical. What you need to make heaven is genuine salvation and living a sanctified life, that is walking in holiness and growing every day. Hebrews 12:14, "Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord."

(3) Having Power Over Satan, Demons and Evil Power.Some children of God are afraid of demonic and evil power, and they think the reason is because they are not yet baptized with the power and special anointing of Holy Spirit. But that is not so, you don't need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit before you can exercise power and authority over every satanic spirit. In the Book of Luke 10:19, Jesus gave His followers authority over demonic power, and they were not baptized with the Spirit then. Jesus said, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." So that implies, the authority over demons is received before the baptism of Spirit, all you need is genuine salvation. Immediately you give your life to Jesus Christ, you have the authority over principalities and powers of Satan and you can exercise the authority.

Ignorance brings bondage, many Christians today are living under the torment of demonic forces, they complain because they are not yet baptized with the Holy Spirit, and what about those who confessed to have been baptized with the Spirit? They say they are not yet specially anointed, so they can't really exercise authority over demonic power. You do not need to be baptized with Holy Spirit or be specially anointed before you can exercise authority over demonic forces or cast them out; all you need is genuine salvation and living your life to please God.

(4) Starting To Work For God And Healing the Sick.Before you can start working for God, preaching and doing God's work, you need not to wait until you are baptized with Holy Spirit, what you need is genuine salvation and growing in the Lord. Jesus sent His disciples out to preach, heal and cast out demons; in fact, it was like mission work, but they were not yet baptized with the Holy Spirit then.

"And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease....And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10:1, 7, 8.

SO WHY THE BAPTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT?
There is only one major purpose and reason for the baptism Holy Spirit as Jesus Christ our Lord said it. Let's see the words of Jesus Christ in Bible:

Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

From this Bible verse, the purpose of Holy Spirit baptism is for service, to witness more effectively; it is for doing God's work more effectively. This means we must have probably started working for God, serving God in His vineyard, and then be baptized with Holy Spirit power for more effectiveness. The Apostles were already witnessing about Jesus Christ, preaching, teaching, healing and casting our demons; then they needed the baptism of Holy Spirit for more effectiveness.

HOW TO BE BAPTIZED
To be baptized with the Holy Spirit, we must first be saved, living to please God by obeying the Holy Spirit, working for God, and then ask God for the baptism of Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, that is, in Jesus name. If you are saved but you are not serving God and working for Him, what do you want God to empower for more effectiveness? If you are not living a sanctified life in holiness and pleasing God, you first need to rededicate your life to Jesus, and be fruitful in the Spirit. If you don't have concern or passion for God's work, you need to first work on that and be filled with God's love for God's work, and then you pray for the baptism of Holy Spirit.

So to be baptized by the Holy Spirit can be summed up in three points:

1, Dedicate yourself to Jesus. Genuine salvation, living a consistent godly life in pleasing God, praying daily and reading God's Word with watchfulness.

2, Devote yourself to God's work. Preaching and doing the work of evangelism. You must have passion for God's work before you can be empowered by the baptism of Holy Spirit to do more.

3, Desire the Baptism of Holy Spirit by asking, keeping asking until you receive, and keep doing God's work while asking. The baptism of Holy Spirit is God's Promise, so yours is to ask and wait faithfully till you receive it; you need not to bother yourself on when exactly to receive it.

Note: Though, usually, we must first be saved, living to please God and serving God before receiving the baptism of Holy Spirit, there are some unusual cases where God baptizes people even from the moment of their conversion, like the case of Cornelius and his group. Acts 10:44 - 46.

EVIDENCE OF HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM
Here is where many are missing everything about the real baptism of Holy Spirit. Let's read again from the Bible

Luke 24:49, "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Many Christians claim and even preach that the evidence of the baptism of Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues, but that is not so, not even biblical; that is where many are missing it. From these two Bible passages we read above, the only evidence of Baptism of Holy Spirit is POWER. Jesus said, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:8. That is the only evidence of the baptism of Holy Spirit. Since we already have Holy Spirit when we are saved, the baptism in it is the enduement of power, that is the purpose of Holy Spirit baptism - to be endued with Power. Luke 24:49, "but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

Speaking in tongues is a sign of the baptism of Holy Spirit, not the evidence. Mark 16:17, "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues." The sign is not as important as the evidence. If you think you are baptized with the Holy Spirit without the enduement of power from on high, you only have sign that you are close to the real thing, and not yet have it. If you are speaking in tongues without being endued by the power of Holy Spirit, being manifested in your ministrations, it means you don't have the baptism of Holy Spirit yet. If a Christian claims to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, simply because he speaks in tongue but with no power from on high that makes the difference, it means the person just bypassed not baptized. How will you be baptized with the Holy Spirit and your life and ministration is void of the power of God unto salvation?

You can fluently speak in tongues without the baptism of Holy Spirit, but it is not possible to be baptized with Holy Spirit without enduement of power from on high. So, is it possible to be baptized with Holy Spirit without the expected speaking in tongues? It may be possible. There is difference between speaking with tongues of angel, saying what no man understands except by the interpretation of Spirit, and speaking with new tongue of another people's language.

When the Apostles were baptized in Acts 2, they were speaking new tongues of other countries' languages, so people from the countries understood the speaking. Acts 2:1-6, "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language."

But Apostle Paul mentioned other speaking in tongues which no man understands except by the gift of interpretation of tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:2, "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries."

Today, when most believers speak in tongue, the genuine speaking in tongues, they say things that no man understands as Apostle Paul said it, and that is one of the gifts of Holy Spirit; likewise speaking strange language of another tribe by the utterance of Holy Spirit is also a gift. I read about D. L Moody who was enraptured with the Joy of the Lord when he was baptized by the Holy Spirit, probably without speaking in tongues. So, when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, there must be a strange sign like speaking in tongues or others, but there must be evidence of the enduement of the Power from on high.

POWER FOR WHAT?
How will you know if you are endued with power? Is it by doing more miracles? Not really, doing miracles is also one of gifts which everybody may not have, but the evidential power of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for powerful witness about Jesus, by strong boldness, utterance for preaching which cannot be resisted by sinners, and winning souls into God's kingdom more than before. After the Apostles were baptized with the power of Holy Spirit, they were winning souls in thousands. So when you are baptized with power from on high, you will experience more soul winning in your ministration more than before, the believers will experience more edification in your ministration more than before and you will be imparted with at least a gift of Holy Spirit where you may specialize to minister. If you are baptized with power of Holy Spirit, you will win souls now and then in your ministry, the souls will remain; you will also be empowered to edify the believers. The end result of the baptism of Holy Spirit is soul winning and edification of saints by the utterance of Holy Spirit.

We must all desire to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit. When we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, the evidence is enduement of power from on high which will be evidential in our prayers and ministrations.Have you been genuinely saved? Have you been serving God? Then seek for the Bible baptism of the Holy Spirit with power from on high. Do not worry that you have not receive it, but wait until you receive it.

Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

PRAYER
Pray for what you need first: Salvation, restoration, or love and passion for the work of God.

Ask God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of the Holy Spirit.

Keep asking until you receive, most importantly is to keep living holy and keep working for God.

BUT WHY? .....Why problem, pain, delay after being a Christian

Why does God allows His children to pass through difficulties? Why does He make them go through problems, pains and even persecutions? "God is almighty and loving, and so why does He allows me to go through all these painful and problematic situations after I have surrendered my life to Him, after I am living to please Him, but why?"

I don't know if such questions have ever come through your mind before, yes they have ran through my mind several times, and it will become more hard when you are right in such tough situation. Why will God wait that long before He will answer? Why will He allow all these to happen before He will come in?

In the Bible, we read about the children of Israel, how God took them through wilderness for complete forty years, "And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness..." Deuteronomy 8:2. Why did God allow His children to pass through wilderness and waiting experience? Why can't He just do it once without the stress of waiting?

JUST FOR GOOD
These series of questions became tough with me personally, until God Himself helped me to see His reason through His word. The scriptural and simple answer to all the above questions is: IT IS FOR YOUR GOOD. God permits you to pass through pain so that He can do you good at the end, simple!

GOOD CERTAINTY
When you become a child of God through genuine salvation in Christ Jesus, you may not know everything the future holds, you may not know where God is taking you to, you may not know when rapture will take place, you may not know when you are going to die, you may not know where God want to use you, but one thing is certain, and that is, everything will work together for your good, as long you love God!

Yes, the pain, the problem, the delay, the persecution, and the present perplexed situations, including your past mistake - all are meant to work together, in combination for your good in your new life in Christ Jesus. Here is what the scripture says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28.

FROM WILDERNESS TO WONDERS
God allows us to pass through wilderness so that we can end up in His unlimited wonders. When you keep loving and obeying Him even in the wild wilderness, He Himself will turn the wilderness of your life into wonder to people, and you will then become a sign and wonder for your generation. No wonder the people of old stayed faithful to God even in the wilderness, no wonder Job waited on the Lord even when his life was turned to dark wilderness, he said, "If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes."

And so what about you? Will you wait faithfully and godly in the wilderness of life till God comes to turn your wilderness to wonders? Or will you wander about into sinful options and suggestions before your divine change comes?

CAN ANY GOOD STILL COME?
Sometimes we find ourselves in such a terrible situation that we think if any good thing can still come out of it. Some cases are humanly beyond retrieve that we think nothing good can ever come out of it. In such a case, we just need to go back to the Bible and answer two questions from Romans 8:31,"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"

You need to answer these:
1, If God is for you, who can be against you?

If God is for you, who can be against you? If God is for you, the God of heaven and earth, if He is for you, what time can be against you? If God who controls the time and universe is for you, what sickness can be against you? If God is for you, what regulation of system can be against you? Your answer to this will help your faith in God.

2, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

And, if God could bring good thing out of the death of Jesus Christ, how will He not bring good thing out of your situation and family? The death of Jesus is the most terrible crime ever committed in the history of humanity. Can you imagine the only sinless Man ever lived on earth was condemned and crucified? How terrible and horrible! But God brought about the greatest goodness of Goodnews to mankind through the most horrible event. So, if you have accepted the Goodnews into your life, then relax, your situation is not as horrible that God can't bring about good thing; since you have the Goodnews of Jesus Christ in your life, everything is certain to work for your good.

STAY FAITHFUL
What matters to God is not how you feel in the wilderness but how you are faithful to His word, His will and His work. Do not allow any situation to make you compromise the standard of holiness of God, do not yield to sinful suggestions and demands because of your passing situation, and do not stop working for God because of present situation.

Are you a faithful child of God? Your answer will not assure God until you are in tough situation. God will want to test our faithfulness to Him, so sometimes, He allows tough situations so we can prove our love and faithfulness to Him. God would allow unpleasant situations and see if you will stay faithful to His word, and if you will still love working for Him. He did that to Abraham and He confirmed his love and faithfulness.

At the end of their forty years wilderness journey, God revealed the actual reasons He made the children of Israel to experience the wilderness journey, "who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end" Deuteronomy 8:16.

God will allow your pass through situations to (1) test your love and faithfulness to Him, and (2) to do you good at the end if you stay faithful.

CONCLUSION
Beloved, instead of you to wander why God allows unpleasant things, you should begin to walk faithfully with God; do not waste time to ask God "why" but rather ask Him "what" and "where"; what He wants you to do and where He wants you to go, no matter what; His grace will hold us through.

It is easier said than done, it is easy to preach than to practice in a practical situation, yet, the easiest is to trust and obey even in a troublesome time, there is no other means. Whatever the case, let's walk with God by faith, let's wait on God faithfully and let's work for God fervently.

PSALM 66:10-12:
For You, O God, have tested us;You have refined us as silver is refined.11 You brought us into the net;You laid affliction on our backs.12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;We went through fire and through water;But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

Time is Fast Running Out (2) - PLEASE READ!
– Testimony of Hell & Heaven (Summary) by Victoria Nehale ( Part 2)

2nd Trip to hell
On October 18 2005 I woke up at 05H30 but I could not go to work. I was feeling very weak and drunk; I could not move or turn around in my bed, and the presence of the Lord was very heavy in the room. I was trembling and felt electricity going through my body. The Lord came to take me just before 08H00 because the last time I had looked at my watch, it was 07H48, and he arrived very shortly after that. He greeted me and said that we should go again because time was fast running out.

I stood up and we began to walk. The way we were walking on this day was very different from all other times; although our legs were doing the walking movements, we were sort of floating more than walking. While we were on our way, Jesus told me that all sins are bad and there is nothing such as small sin and big sin. All sin will lead to death, no matter how big or small. The Lord told me that we were going to visit Hell again and then He asked me if I was afraid. I answered that I was afraid.

He said, "The spirit of fear is not from My Father or from Me, it is from the Devil. Fear will cause you to do things that will land you in hell."

Without faith it is impossible to please God and fear is the direct opposite of faith. It is obvious that fear does not please God because it destroys one's faith. For the whole time we were on our way, we were walking side by side but as soon as we arrived at the gate of Hell, He took my hand into His and held it for every second we were in Hell. I was very happy that the Lord was holding my hand because the firm grip of His hand removed all the fear from me. The place was still the same: nothing was different from the first time. There were flies, worms, extreme heat, the smell, skeletons, the noise: everything was just as it was the first time I was there. We entered the same ugly gate again and the Lord took me to one group of people.

There were many people I knew when they were still alive on Earth. The poor people were in a terrible state; they looked miserable and in great agony but the worst of all was the look of hopelessness on their faces.

The Lord pointed out one middle-aged woman whom I knew before her death. She had died in a car accident at the beginning of 2005. I was shocked to see that woman in Hell because we all knew her as a God-fearing and God-loving person. The Lord told me that that woman loved Him and He also loved her; she had served Him when she was on Earth; she had led many people to the Lord and she knew the Word very well. She was kind to the poor and needy; she gave to them, and helped them in many ways. She was a good servant of the Lord in most ways.

Those words of the Lord shocked me even more and I asked Him why He would let someone who had served Him so well end up in Hell. The Lord looked at me and said that this lady had believed the deception of the Devil. Although she knew the Scriptures well, she believed the lie of the Devil that there are big sins and small sins. She thought that a ‘small' sin would not lead her to Hell because, after all, she was a Christian.

The Lord continued, "I went to her many times and told her to stop what she was doing but many times she would reason that what she was doing was too small and she attributed my warning to her own feelings of guilt. There was a time when she stopped for a while but then she convinced herself again that the warning was not from Me but her own voice because that sin was too insignificant to grieve the Holy Spirit."

I asked the Lord again to tell me what the sin was that this woman has committed and He answered me thus, "This woman had a friend who is a nurse at Oshakati Hospital. Whenever this woman was sick, she would not go to hospital and pay for her hospital card as normal practice; she would just pick up the telephone and tell her friend to organize medicine for her from the Hospital Dispensary. Her friend would always oblige and tell her to pick up the medicine at a particular time. Firstly, she decided to accept the lie of the Devil about small and big sin and rejected my truth; she caused somebody else to sin and steal on her behalf but, worst of all, she grieved the Holy Spirit. This is what caused her to be in Hell. It does not matter whether you bring millions of souls to the Lord; it is still possible to go to Hell for grieving the Holy Spirit. You must not only care about the salvation of others but you must be careful not to forget about your own soul. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit at all times." After the Lord said those words He said that we should go back.

Many Christians who have heard this story do find it problematic. They would always ask me, "What about justification, mercy and grace?" and "Is it possible to lose your Salvation after you have received it?" "Is that not a bit too harsh?" "Can God be so cruel?"
Well, as I have said elsewhere in this book, I am not presenting any theology here. I am just telling you what the Lord has shown and taught me - and what He has allowed me to experience. Please refer to your Bible for answers. Look at the following verses and make your own judgment.

"But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." (1Corinthians 9:27)

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (Romans 6:1-2)

"Do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lust." (Romans 6:12)

"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Can I go to Hell after having served the Lord and led many to Christ? You be the judge!

ANOTHER TIME: Jesus greeted me and stretched out His hand to me and told me to get up because time was fast running out. He pulled me up by my hand and I sat down on my bed.
Then he said to me, "Victoria, let us pray." He prayed in a language that I did not understand; I understood only the word ‘Amen'. Then He continued by asking me what I was seeing and I told Him that I was seeing groups of people going to their work and others arriving at their work places. I was also seeing those similar tiny white beads falling on those who arrived first at their work places. After the first group, another group also arrived later. By that time the rain of tiny beads had stopped falling.

I also saw different groups of people, arriving at different churches on a Sunday morning. The rain of white beads would begin to fall as soon as the early comers enter the churchyard. It continued to fall for some time and then it stopped. The latecomers would not find anything.

Jesus asked me whether I understood what those visions meant and I told Him that I did not understand. Then He explained to me: "These visions mean that every place where you are supposed to be at a specified time and you know what time you should be there, there are always angels distributing blessings for that specified time. If you arrive on time, you will receive your blessings but if you are late, you will miss your blessings for that day because the angels distribute the blessings only for that specific time. Victoria, I want to warn you because you go late for work and you go especially late to church services. You must know that at those times you have been late without any valid reason; you have forever missed out on your blessings for those days; they will never return to you again. Victoria you must stop this thing and do not ever do it again, unless you have a valid reason for being late."

When the Lord said those words I really wished I could disappear or give Him some acceptable excuses for my indiscipline. I told Him that sometimes I oversleep but He looked me straight in the eye and said that I was lying and that I had a bad tendency of going back to bed after I have woken up, to succumb to a desire to sleep for a ‘few more minutes'.

After Jesus had warned me, He said, "Stand up. Let us go. Time is fast running out and there are things we must do."
This time the Lord took me to a place where I have never been before; it was also the first time we took the road we walked on that day. We arrived in a garden filled with beautiful flowers and beautiful green trees: nothing on Earth can compare to this beauty. The flowers were in all kinds of beautiful, bright colors. We sat down on a beautiful garden bench, which was made from solid gold with small brightly-shining silver stars.

When we sat down, He pointed in front of us and said, "Victoria, look, can you see that city?" When I looked, I saw a very large, brightly lit city. It was beautiful beyond description. The city has a brightly shining golden gate and at this gate was a man, seated, who was of great age. He had a long, white beard and white hair. I had seen this man earlier and, when I asked Jesus who this man was, he told me that it was Abraham, the father of faith.
I saw many roads in that city, which are also paved with gold.

There are high-rise buildings and they were also shining like gold. The shine and the glitter in the city is indescribable
Jesus turned to me and asked, "What do you think about that city?"
I answered that it was beautiful and I wanted to go there. Jesus said: "I will take you there if you continue to be obedient because that is also where your house will be. Stay obedient - because if you are disobedient, Victoria, crows will fly in your house. Your house will be a dwelling place of owls and a playground of ghosts. However, do not fear, because I am with you. Just obey. For everyone who is disobedient, his house will have crows flying there; it will be a dwelling place of owls and a playground of ghosts."

Jesus Christ is real and He loves us with a love that cannot be described, His greatest desire is for us to choose life and spend eternity with Him. His heart is aching for all those people who are dying and going to Hell because they chose to reject the Salvation He offered them and they chose death instead.
Whether you are a born-again Christian or not, please always remember this one thing: Time is fast running out.

Dear reader, I congratulate you if you are reading this because you are still alive to amend your way, second chance. You need to totally surrender your life to Jesus and experience genuine salvation that gives power over sin and Satan. You do this by repentance, confession and surrender.

If you have surrendered your life to Jesus before, but rising and falling, counting some sins and too small, refusing to do necessary restitution and living a consist holy life, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus before it is too late. DO IT NOW.

If you are a child of God, serving God, you need to examine yourself and ask the Lord to search you; don't be conceited. You think you stand? You think so, but let God search and sanctify you more and more. Let's be watchful and prayerful and we look forward for the appearance of the LORD.

Time is Fast Running Out!
– Testimony of Hell & Heaven (Summary) ( Part 1)
by Victoria Nehale

On the weekend of 23 July 2005...I saw a man, wearing a long white robe tied with a rope of the same color, walking towards where I was lying. There was a brilliant light around Him as though it were radiating from Him. He was wearing brown sandals; His features were like people from the Middle East, with a beautiful tanned skin. His face was very kind and full of glory but I was unable to look Him in the eyes. When He spoke, His voice was tender, kind and loving, yet authoritative; waves of love were emanating from His very being.

He extended His hand to me and pulled me up from where I was lying. Suddenly I was in a beautiful, transformed body; I looked the same as I was when I was eighteen years old. I was wearing a white robe tied with a white rope. Although my robe was white, the material was different from the man’s robe. His robe was silky with a brilliance that I do not know how to describe.

He said, in a most loving and tender voice: “Victoria, I want you to come with me; I will show you frightening things and I am taking you to a place where you have never been before in your whole life”. He held my right hand and we went. I felt as if we were walking on air and we were ascending all the time.

We entered through the gate. I cannot Hell
describe to you the horror of that place. I am convinced that there is no other place in the entire universe as bad as that place. The place was extremely large and I had the sense that it was expanding all the time. It was a place of utmost darkness and the heat of it could not be measured: it was hotter than the hottest of fires. I could not see any flames of fire or the source of the heat but it was HOT. The place was filled with flies of all sizes – green, black, and grey flies. Every conceivable kind of fly was there. In addition, there were also short, thick, black worms everywhere, climbing on everything. The worms started to climb on us and the flies were also all over us. The place was filled with the most disgusting stench; there are no words to describe the intensity of the stench in that place. The smell was almost like rotten meat but was a hundred times worse than the most decaying meat I have ever smelled in my entire life. The place was filled with the noise of wailing and gnashing of teeth, as well as of demonic, evil laughter.

The worst thing about this place is that it was filled with people. There were so many people that they could not be numbered. The people were in the form of skeletons. I can say with confidence that these skeletons were humans because I recognized some of my very close relatives and people from my village. Their bones were dark grey and extremely dry. They had long sharp teeth like wild animals. Their mouths were large and wide and their tongues were long and bright red. Their hands and feet had long, thin toes and fingers with long, sharp nails. Some of them had tails and horns.

They were divided into many different groups. Even if they were in the groups, it was not possible to estimate the number of people in any single group because the groups were extremely large.

The man led me to one of the groups on the eastern side of the place. He looked at me and said: “Victoria, this is a group of people who refused to forgive others. I told them many times in many different ways to forgive others but they rejected me; I have forgiven them all their sins but they refused to forgive others. Their time ran out and they found themselves here. They will be here for all eternity; they are eating the fruits of their labor for ever and ever. However, it is painful for me to see them in this horrible place and in this eternal situation – because I love them.“

I was then led to the next group, and the man told me that the people in the second group were those who had debts. There were three different categories in that group. The first category was of people who owed to others: they could afford to pay their dues but they kept postponing and procrastinating. They would claim that they would pay tomorrow, next week, next year, until the time ran out for them and now they had found themselves in this place. This is where they will stay forever; they are eating the fruits of their labor.

The second category was of those who had debts that they could afford to pay back and they were willing to pay their debts, but they were afraid of the consequences because, perhaps, if they told the truth they might suffer rejection or they might go to jail or what they had done would be made known to the whole world and they would be humiliated. The man said: “None of them came to me to ask me for a way. If they had done so, I would have shown them the easy way out. They used their own wisdom and reasoning which did not help them in any way. Their time ran out and they found themselves in this place where they will be for ever. They are eating the fruit of their labor.

Then He said: “The third category had debts which they could not afford to pay back, but, again, none of them had told me that they had debts they were unable to pay. If they had done so, I would have paid their debts. They also tried to use their own reasoning and wisdom, which did not help them in any way. Now they have found themselves in this place where they will always be. They are eating the fruit of their labor. My heart is aching for all these people because I love them dearly.”

In the first group, I saw two of my very close female relatives, as well as a twelve year-old, also a relative of mine. I knew she was twelve because that was how old she was at the time of her death. In the second group I also saw some of my relatives, as well as a Pastor whom I knew very well. Jakes, my boyfriend who had committed suicide because I gave my life to Christ, was also in the second group. I saw some of my neighbors in both groups as well.

I recognized the people I knew before their deaths; they also recognized me. My relatives were very angry when they saw me and they started to shout obscenities at me; they were using the most vulgar language as they were cursing me. One of them said that I was not worthy of following the man who was with me; they were telling the things I used to do before I gave my life to Christ. They were not lying; the things of which they were accusing me were the truth. Jakes was saying that I belonged to him and I should go where he was because I had committed the same sins as he.

I was petrified and extremely sad; my body was shaking and I could not stand. I was crying uncontrollably. The man turned to me, gave me a hug, and said: “Peace be with you, Victoria.“ My strength returned and I felt very secure in His embrace. Then He told me that we had to leave the place and go back. He looked at me and said: “Victoria, I have shown you. Now you must choose in which of the groups you want to be; the choice is in your own hands. You must tell the people everything you have seen and experienced but do not add or omit anything.”

Dear friend, I want to tell you that hell is not a figment of anybody’s imagination but it is a real place and it is unpleasant. It was not made for people but for Satan and his demons. Our rightful place is in Heaven with Jesus but we have to choose Jesus before it is too late. Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your heart; accept Jesus as your personal Saviour today and live for Him. Hell is a terrible place: it is a place of fear and sadness; it is a place of torment and eternal cries and gnashing of teeth. Satan wants to take as many people with him as possible. Do not co-operate with him; co-operate with Jesus and you will live and not die.

I could not understand why the Lord would tell me to make a choice between the two groups He showed me in Hell when I was already a born-again Christian. I have accepted Him into my life and He was still telling me to make a choice whether I want to go to Hell or not. I could not understand. I started to pray and asked God to give me a revelation of what He meant and what He wanted me to do. The Lord revealed to me that I was harboring a lack of forgiveness and resentment in my heart towards one of my sisters, as well as to my cousin. I asked the Lord to forgive me for my unforgiving spirit; I also asked my sister to forgive me for harboring anger and bitterness in my heart toward her. The Lord instructed me to go and ask forgiveness from my cousin.

The Lord also reminded me that there was a time when I acquired a teaching job with a fraudulent diploma and He considered that to be debt and theft. I was determined to do what was right and I asked the Lord to help me through this problem and to show me an easy way out because this was a serious crime which could send me behind bars. He directed me to go to the Department of Education and confess what I had done. I was ready to go to jail if this was unavoidable. I experienced the Lord’s favor in a big way. The officials in the Department of Education told me that I should decide what I wanted to do: whether to pay back the salary I had received from the government or not. They promised not press charges against me because they were stunned by my confession. Our God is a faithful God who honors His Word.

If you are in a situation similar to the one I was in, I want to encourage you to do what is right, no matter the consequences. You might be incarcerated in the earthly jail but that is temporal. No pain or shame will compare to Eternity separated from God. Hell is not a nice place: it is better to allow God to judge you now before it is too late. We must not fear God’s judgment while we are in the time of Grace: we must allow Him to expose whatever is wrong in our lives while we still have time to make right with Him because there is no forgiveness on the other side of the grave.

.....to continue in Part 2.

Dear reader, I congratulate you if you are reading this before the rapture, because you are still alive to amend your way, second chance. You need to totally surrender your life to Jesus and experience genuine salvation that gives power over sin and Satan. You will do this by repentance, confession and sureender to the lordship of Jesus.

If you have surrendered your life to Jesus before, but rising and falling, counting some sins and too small, refusing to do necessary restitutions without consistent righteous living, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus before it is too late. DO IT NOW.

If you are a child of God, serving God, you need to examine yourself and ask the Lord to search you; don't be conceited. You think you stand? You think so, but let God sanctify you more and more. Let's be watchful and prayerful as we look forward for the appearance of the LORD.

The teachings of "Grace without continuous work of righteousness", "Eternal security of salvation of once saved is always saved, no matter what you do", and "Being the righteousness of Jesus without you living righteous life" are all satanic teachings in many churches today, and leading many to hell. But you can choose to be wise, you have the choice where you want to forever belong, hell or heaven!

Acts 17:30, "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent."

THE WRONG PERSPECTIVE.........please read this.

Which one is the largest: A Peanut, An Elephant, The Moon, or A Kettle?
Looking from a short sight, an Elephant is the largest, but looking in real sense and long sight, the Moon is far bigger than Elephant more than 1000 times.

The same way most of us view life, we see the present more important than the future, we care for the present world than eternity, we see “now, now” more precious to us than “then”. Yes, that is how Satan wants you to think and act, he wants you to give what you need most for what you need the moment, he want you to sacrifice your soul for the pleasure of your body, he wants you to see this present world bigger and more important than your eternity.

Do you care of getting money, getting job, getting contracts, getting visas, getting married, getting everything that can make this life comfortable for you at the expense of holiness and righteousness? The devil will tell you to focus on this present world and then you can think about heaven later. But who knows what will happen before tomorrow? And for what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Be wise, don’t give what you need most for what you need the moment; don’t sacrifice your eternity for this present perishing world. Surrender your life to Jesus completely without deceiving yourself, confess and forsake your sins, read your Bible daily and pray for God’s grace to please Him. Live with eternity in view, you may not get everything you need here at everything but as long as your name is still in the Book of Life, you are the wisest. Don’t compromise like every other Christian, Worker or Pastor around; be different because you don’t want to go where they are going. You have a dream, a focus, to make heaven, and look only unto Jesus.

Hebrews 11: By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

onetrack:
Sorry, I could never respect a god that created a hell for his own creations. Even if I were to say with my mouth that I loved god, my inner thoughts would be the exact opposite. However with me being atheist it doesn't matter does it?

It does not matter now, but it will matter after you die

THE SHAME OF HELL

What is the shame of Hell? Well, friend, the shame of Hell is the fact that, if you go there, you will eventually come to grips with one unforgettable truth: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO! Imagine that! Imagine spending ETERNITY with that on your mind! Imagine being in Hell for a million years and then thinking, "I didn't have to come here! I could have received Christ! Oh, what a fool I was! If only I had not been so stubborn! If...if...if...!" That's the shame of Hell: going there when you DON'T HAVE TO GO!People accuse God of being unfair in sending sinners to Hell.

Listen, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO! The decision is YOUR'S, not God's. God made His decision 2000 years ago when He gave His Only Begotten Son to die as a payment for your sins. If you go to Hell, you will go AGAINST God's will, because God wants you to REPENT and trust Christ to save you ( II ‪‎Peter‬ 3:9). How about it? Will you turn from your sins right now and trust Christ to save you? Remember, it's YOUR decision.

IS MASTURBATION A SIN?......Please read this!

To start with, masturbation is self service by which one derives pleasure; it's a sexual stimulation of the genitals, usually to the point of orgasm, it's usually performed using the hands, fingers, everyday objects, or dedicated intimacy gadgets. So the question: Is it sinful for a child of God to masturbate? The sincere and simple answer is that, it is biblically sinful based on these three points:

(1) IT'S DISHONORING YOUR BODY.
Pastors and preachers who claim that masturbation is not a sin are the same people who say a godly woman can dress any how; their base is that God's is not concern about what you do with your body, watch out! Such people believe God is only after your mind or your heart, and your body is none of His business, you can dress half naked as a woman, you can wear earrings as a man, perm your hair like woman; you can smoke, drink, it is your body, normal habit, and none of God's business.

Such teaching of your body is not God's business is satanic and unbiblical. God is interested in your body as well as your soul, God wants you to keep your heart holy as well as your body. Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Your heart is the throne of God, and your body is His temple; when you defile God's temple - your body - with masturbation or any uncleanness, you expose yourself to God's destruction.

1 Corinthians 3: 16, 17, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

(2) IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Any action by which one derives sexual pleasure - orgasm - apart from, between husband and wife, such is sexual immorality. There are several sexual immoralities like fornication, adultery, masturbation, homosexuality, etc. Those who involve in masturbation before or after marriage are immoral people before God. 1 Corinthians 5:9, "I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people."

(3) IT'S A SECRET SIN
Any habit you can't publicly and proudly perform is a secret sin, and masturbation is part of it, it's something usually done in secret after you dedicate your life to Jesus. You can't have fellow children of God in the same room and you begin to masturbate. You can sleep or snore while people are around, but you can't masturbate while good and godly people are around.

NO PRETENSE!
You can't finish masturbate and you feel free in God's presence, your conscience will tell you something is wrong, that you are defiled. If you now feel no quilt in masturbating, it means you have silenced or killed your conscience, since the Spirit of God will not continue to strive with a man, but you know it wasn't like that at the initial.

THREE WAYS OUT!
Masturbation is satanic anchor by which he uses to grip souls under his bondage. The solution is not to say it is not a sin, the solution is not marriage or attractive spouse, that never solve problem of lust.

The solutions are (i) You repent and rededicate your life to Jesus by admitting it as a sin against God and ready to forsake it. (ii) You watch out against it, you detach yourself from immoral materials, movies, music and thoughts. Resist the devil when he brings the pressure on you to masturbate; just hold the feeling and resist the devil, he can't stay long, he will flee. It will come over you as if you can't resist it, but that is not true, you just hold it, don't torch and don't think about. It is a sin and you don't want to bring yourself under the bondage anymore. The more you resist and overcome the feeling, the more you are strong, keep watching, he can go and come after some months, don't relax but resist. (iii) Pray about it. You must take it to God in your daily prayer to conquer the sinful notion and nature; pray for grace and strength to resist, to discipline your body and keep it under the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 9:27
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

L E F T - B E H I N D
Luke 17:35, "Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

If you miss your booked flight at the Airport, you can wait for another flight, but there is a flight you must not miss, because it will happen once, that is the flight of the rapture to heaven, it is called the catching away of the saints by Jesus.This rapture will happen within seconds when the angels of God will blow the trumpet…in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound. 1 Corinthians 15:52.

There will be sudden disappearance of Christians who have experienced genuine salvation, who have opened up their secret sins, settled needed restitution and living in holiness and righteousness from the blemishes of the world till the seconds of the rapture. Many people will be left behind throughout the world, many Christians will be left behind also, why? Because they are not well prepared. The left behind at the flight of the rapture will be left to blight of the Anti-Christ and eternal doom; that will be devastating and destructive occurrence which never happens since the beginning of the world. This unprecedented occurrence can happen any seconds from now without any warning or feeling of awareness.

If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord, you are at the danger of being left behind to the mercy of Satan, If you are postponing your salvation, you are in serious danger; you need to surrender your life to Jesus now. if you are a Christian and toiling with sins, rising and falling, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus totally now! If you have been saved, serving God but there are some little worldliness in your lifestyles or unconfesed sin, or inconsistency in your Bible reading, prayer life, Christian life, or unforgiving people you have ignored, or unsettled restitution, you may also be among the left behind group, you need to surrender and settle all now. It may happen right when you are angry or getting involved in something sinful, and that is the end.

You need to totally surrender all, every area of your life to Jesus and at all time, because the rapture will happen within seconds and there will not be second chance for another rapture.

Many Senior pastors and big ministers of God will be left behind, many church leaders, workers and many Christians will be left behind, and all unbelievers will be dazed, at last, it will happen!

If at the moment you are reading this message rapture has not happened, then you have the choice to make the rapture. Without delay, you need to surrender all to Jesus, if you are a believer, you need to check your life and surrender all, no sin is too small to hold you down not to make the rapture, even if your big pastors do not oppose it, even if you have reasons to support yourself, even if everybody is doing it. Don't be fooled, don't be arrogant or defensive at this time, just surrender all to Jesus, because He is coming any moment from now. You must leave behind your sins, sinful partners, materials and gains so that you will not be left behind.

You have a choice: leave all behind for Jesus now, let the people and world leave you behind or you are left behind at the rapture?

Matthew 25:13, ““Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

WHAT SATAN WILL NEVER SAY!

Satan can say many things, he can tell you many things, and he can suggest many things into your mind, but there is something Satan will never say, and that is the truth. This revelation comes from Jesus Christ, “…the devil, He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44

What You Should Know!
Your concern is not to know more about Satan, but to know more about Jesus, for in Jesus ALONE you will find Truth that overcomes Satan. What you need to know is that whenever Satan talks or speaks to your mind, he is speaking lies, he speaks only lies, he cannot tell you the truth you need to know, why? Because (i) there is no single truth in Satan, (ii) he is a liar and father of it. John 8:44

You also need to know these:
- Suggestion to quickly commit sin and come back to God is a lie from Satan.

- The thought that you cannot serve God successfully and make it to heaven is a lie from Satan.

- To see sin as the only means to succeed or survive is a lie from Satan.

- That God will not answer your prayer or He does not care about you is a lie from Satan.

- Satan is the inventor of lie, the first and father of all liars.

- The only way to overcome lies is by saying the truth, anywhere.

- The only means to overcome Satan is by Jesus Christ, who is the Truth.

- Everything you need to know about the Truth is in the Bible, by reading your Bible, yielding to the Bible, you are gaining strength over Satan.


What You Should Not Do!
As long you are a child of God and God is your Father, you must never lie, never say anything that is not truth. Satan is the father of liars, and everyone who tells lies, no matter how little, has automatically becomes a child of devil. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. “

Never allow pressure, persecution, people, profit, pleasure, position, or popularity to push you to tell lie; you know Satan will not father you well if you become his child by telling lies?

Any secret past lies must be made open to the necessary people by confession as we continue in the light of God.

Ephesians 4:15, “ but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—“

DON'T BE ANOTHER JUDAS ISCARIOT!

You can't outsmart Satan, but you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus.

Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”

It is not possible for you, as a person, to outsmart Satan; you can only overcome him through Christ Jesus, but you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. That was what Judas Iscariot did, and he regretted it. Judas needed money, and he wanted to have it by all means, and so he thought he could play game with Satan and get the money from him. Judas thought he could get the money from Satan and then run away with the money to Jesus, since Jesus would always be there to forgive and help, and Satan is always there to offer the money; so he thought he could play a smart game on Satan by collecting the money and then run to Jesus.

But the true is that, it doesn't work that way, because we can’t mock God by willingly going against His word, and we can’t make fool of Satan by playing game with Him. Judas decided to sell Jesus and get the money, hoping that they would not be able to arrest Jesus, and he would have gotten the money from them; he believed the priests and Pharisees would be the looser, and he would get the money and still have Jesus Christ. He might have thought, “It’s absolutely impossible for them to arrest Jesus, never possible. Jesus who performed a lot of mighty miracles, who walked away several times they attempted to kill Him? Oh never, they can’t arrest Him. Since our agreement would just be for me to betray Jesus, and it is left to them to arrest Him; if they fail to, that is their problem, but then I would have gotten the money in my account. This is a golden chance for me to make money and get my dreamed properties and materials.”

But things didn't work out as he planned and played it. He lost Jesus, he lost the money, he lost his position in the ministry, he lost God’s purpose for his life and he lost eternal life, everything! Matthew 27:3-5, “Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.”

The same trick Satan used to deceive and destroy Judas Iscariot, he is using with so many followers of Jesus today. You need money, you need car, you need house, or you need a job, a position or promotion; you need admission, traveling documents or contracts; you need marital partner or children, whatever you need, Satan knows them. As you are trusting God for everything, then Satan would bring sinful suggestions and ungodly opportunities to you, that, “You can get the money, though in a sinful or satanic way, but after you get the money all you need to do is to run back to Jesus for forgiveness, God is always merciful, He will forgive you and you will retain the money.” Does that not sound beautiful for many people to consider? But it is a trick from the pit of hell.

He will also suggest that you can give the sinful demand to get the job, contracts, admission or documents, “just for you to get what you want and after that you go back to Jesus for forgiveness. Is it not just for a day or once? And you get what you need for life and go back to Jesus? You better be wise. The Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct, be wise!”

Satan may also suggests that you can marry the person, though not genuinely saved, but “after you get married, he or she will be saved, you can help her or him to be saved and then you serve God together” Satan will also tell you that you can give premarital sex so that you don’t loose the person. “No one will know, and after that you ask God to forgive you and get married. You have nothing to loose as long you are wise.”

The secret is that, every suggestion that you should commit sin or compromise your faith to get what you want, and after all ask God to forgive you, such suggestion is originated from Satan to deceive you and ruin you, he is trying to make another Judas Iscariot out of you. It was Satan who deceived Judas to do what he did. Luke 22:3, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.”

You cannot eat your cake and have it at the same time, you cannot mock God and make it, and you cannot play game with Satan and outsmart him. Judas Iscariot tried it, and he could not retrieve his way back, he lost everything. You must be wise to be warned not to become another Judas Iscariot of this generation, by thinking you can quickly get something in a sinful or satanic way and quickly get back to Jesus; you may never find your way back again, Judas could not make it back even though he cried and was remorse.

This trick of Satan of “Go Against God And Go back To Him After you Get What You Want” is an old trick and so deceptive; he even attempted to use it against Jesus Christ. In the wilderness, he came to tempt Jesus Christ, that Jesus should fall down, and God would be there to go Him. Luke 4:9-12.

The suggestion of Satan that you can quickly fall and God is there to raise you up is an act of tempting God, and you must not turn to such so that you will not be turned to pieces.

After you are saved, never attempt to succumb to satanic suggestion to play game with your soul; never think of going quickly into sin to get back to God; that will be a dangerous trip. “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26, 27.

Wait upon the Lord for what you need, and be content with what you have. Never yield to the trick of Satan to take a short trip to sin to trap you. Do not be another Judas Iscariot, and do not become another Esau.

“Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.

NEVER GIVE IN
I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection"

After you are saved, even for many years, Satan will still bring sinful thoughts, feelings, ideas, and pressure; your unsaved body will want to over ride the Spirit of God. The addicted sin to smoke, drink, masturbate, etc; the pressure for sinful pleasures will come back in an overwhelming manner; the tendency to get angry, lie, drink, fight, or to do other sinful stuffs will come back; the people for sinful activities will still come back to you. Sometime the pressure will be so heavy as if you can't survive it. Satan will say, "Look, don't pretend, this thing is part of you and your salvation in Jesus can't stop it. You can't stop doing this thing, even if you don't do it now, what about tomorrow, next week, and next month? Just give in and God will understand."

My dear, that is the deception of pit of hell to make you feel helpless as if you can't overcome sin. When next the pressure to commit sin comes again, you know what to do? DON'T GIVE IN! The pressure and the feeling will not last, it will vanish. And you know what? Every victory over a temptation to sin gives you strength to overcome the next one, and you become stronger, but every falling into temptation makes you weaker to overcome another one. Solution is not to surrender to such sinful pressure once or again, the solution is to hold it, never give in.

Paul the Apostle, after many years of salvation, said, "I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" It is a continuous thing as Satan continuously brings temptations. Salvation does not automatically end the notion and tendency of sin, it only gives grace and strength to overcome. And we can only get the grace and strength by daily Bible reading, prayer for God's grace and daily watchfulness to walk in the Spirit.

Genuine Salvation is the foundation to overcome sin and Satan, DAILY grace of God through prayer and Bible is the strength, and watchfulness, self control that is self discipline to refuse, reject and deny is the solution!

Titus 2:11, 12
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.

FEEDING ON THE WRONG MEAL……please patiently read this.

I saw a picture of a child sucking the breast of a plastic image. In the picture, the child prefers the image’s chocolate breasts to that of his mother's breasts which are only milk. The chocolate breasts of the image look shiny, yummy, freely available at anytime and may be sweeter than the milky breasts of his mum. Definitely the child is attracted to the image’s breasts, but the truth is that he can suck the plastic breasts from morning till evening, he will never get any liquid or nutrition from it, because it is just a plastic image.

The same thing is applicable in our spiritual feedings; the type of messages and teachings you feed on matter, they determine the kind of Christian you become. The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:2 …as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

The sincere and pure milk of the word of God is the type of messages and Bible teachings that will bring the godly sorrow from you, which will bring genuine repentance in you and help you to grow and be fruitful in the Spirit and prepare you for the rapture.

But out there in most churches today are image’s chocolate- breasts types of messages by modern preachers. They are called motivational messages, prosperity messages, keys to success, unlimited breakthrough, business enlargement, financial outstanding, blessing at all rounds, total deliverance from household problems, etc. Such messages sound sweet, nice, yummy, cool motivating but they are earthly centered and will never help you grow to holiness and righteous living, they can’t help you to overcome sin, and they can’t prepare you for the rapture; rather they only make you care about this world and how to possess more earthly stuffs and eventually land in hell fire.

Some churches today rarely talk about rapture, about the second coming of Jesus and the Great Tribulation, they don’t care to warn you against the danger of sin and hell fire; but they keep psyching you up with sweet and nice messages of blessings, prosperity, breakthrough, unlimited success, earthly glory, new miracles and favour; then you feel high and scream, “huuu, aaahhhh, yeahhhhhh” you feel comfortable in your sins, now you are even confident in your sin since they have ordained you minister or worker in the church. (To God, you may just be a worker of iniquity.) They don’t care how godly and pure you are, they only care for your financial, career and material well being. They tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear. They psych you up, motivate you, and tell you to keep on dancing, but to where?

Don’t be deceived by the chocolate, sugarcoated, motivating messages that cannot produce godliness and holiness in your life. ENOUGH IS THIS END TIME DECEPTION IN YOUR LIFE, THEY CAN KEEP DECEIVING OTHERS, BUT YOU MUST REFUSE TO BE SPIRITUALLY STUPID. Seek for the sincere and pure word of God, and be prepared, for the KING can come any moment from now. Are you prepared to meet Him?

A VISION ABOUT RAPTURE: ARE YOU READY FOR THE RAPTURE?
The VISION:
"I saw myself and another sister walking side by side jesting normally,
A man was walking at the other side; suddenly the man turned and said;
"the rapture has just taken place 30 seconds ago", and looking at the time
it was 1.00.30s AM. The man proceeded by saying go in the left direction
you will find other Christians there. Go now I give you one minute.
I asked him what about you? He turned and said I am the antichrist who has
lived in your midst for so long waiting for this day.

I was confused but my spirit said run, my daughter, run. We ran and when
I turned back; lo and behold the man had turned to the antichrist.
We kept running and saw many people running as well. We
got to a very large auditorium and saw multitudes of Christians.
Brethren it was a terrifying experience.

People of high standing with God, Prominent men and women of God, loved
ones and friends. I couldn’t comprehend this so I screamed, God what
happened? The Lord now took me in the spirit to five churches:

1. I saw the pastors announcing that the rapture had just taken place
and that people should start receiving the mark right there in the church
that this will substitute the beast mark and enable them to buy and sell.
Brethren, what made me weep was that the innocent and ignorant members
started receiving this mark not knowing it was actually the mark of the beast.
The Lord then said all these pastors are agents of the beast who has been
ordained to mislead the people and who already have the beast mark
before his manifestation, and I saw marks on the right arm of all these pastors.
A brother who was fortunate to see who to call him to start running down to the
place where all other Christians are was shot in the leg as he was about climbing
the top of the Christian’s hide out.

2. In the next church, the pastors were just speaking of the good things of the scripture and didn’t talk about the 2nd coming of Christ and warn the
people of the wages of sin. The irony of it was that all these pastors and
their members were left behind.

3. Then I saw a church where people really emphasized the coming but all the people didn’t go as a result of the hidden sins which weren’t known to man and
they had not counted as sin. I wept bitterly because this was a church where
holiness was professed and held in high esteem.

4. I saw a church where people concentrated mainly on attacking demons and
where the true word was also preached but the people didn’t go due to
malice and lack of spiritual concentration.

5. In d last church the people were actively involved in preaching the word and talking about the 2nd coming, but these people did not go.The whole lot was full
of hypocrites who disguise themselves in shepherd’s clothes.

I was then taken back to the place where the multitude were and then I saw that the people of the beast came and Christians started scrambling for safety. Brethren it was a terrifying experience. Women forgot their children, husbands their wives.

The Lord then said others have received the mark. Prominent men of God all over
the world, Christians and loved ones.
I asked the LORD why these people didn't make d rapture. God showed me

1.This man was perfect with me until two hours ago.
2.That other man had a small portion of his heart released to the devil.
3.That other brother was too occupied with the things of the world in terms
of land and property acquisition that they took over his life.
4.That other one, I gave him a mandate to pay a certain portion of money to the church and he procrastinated it till now: sin of disobedience.
5.That other man loves his cheque book more than his life. You can see that he
even has his cheque book with him. I wonder what he can buy with the money
now, hope you know they are no more his.

I wept because so many little things which we humans don’t count
were counted by God.

The Lord said, all these things which have been happening on earth have
all been pointing to the end but despite all this, my people do not take heed. I am giving the last warning. Consecrate your hearts to me, my people. The trumpet
would have been blown one hour ago, but I pleaded with my father. However,
I can plead no further. The trumpet is already in the mouth of the Angels ready
to be blown."

THE REALITY:
SALVATION
You need to surrender your life to Jesus now and experience genuine salvation without any further delay so that you will not be among the miserable that will miss the rapture. There is no need to deceive your self or delay your genuine salvation that gives power over sin. It is free for for you, to help better, please click on this link to read how to experience genuine salvation https://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252

REDEDICATION
Rising and falling in sin will not allow you to make the rapture, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus and start better afresh. Please click on this link to repent and rededicate your life to Jesus Christ http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252

RECOMMITMENT
Are you really a child of God, living in holiness and righteousness? Yes, you have experienced genuine salvation, sanctification and serving God. You ignore worldly things, dress and lifestyle. But what about the cares of this world? Your building project has made you earthly focused as if this world is your permanent home. You find it hard to help others because of your building project, and the car you want to buy, and now you don't even care about others again, what other worldliness is worst more than that. If your Christian family think that you are not complete until you buy car or build house, then you are among the worldly Christian.

If truly you are heavenly minded, can you sell that your precious car to help that family in your church that has need? If not, you are among the worldly Christians. Many godly Christians in godly churches will miss the rapture because of the worldly care of building house, buying car, etc. These things have become competition in many churches, in fact if you are not mobile or have your own house, you may not be recommended to become a leader in the church. If Satan did not succeed to seduce you with the fashion and lifestyle of this world, He might have conquered you with the concerns and cares of this world. while so many "holy" brothers and sisters are deceived by the cares of this world, will you not rededicate and recommit your life to God and live a simple life in this world as a stranger?

SATAN'S MEETING AGAINST YOU
(Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do", said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments with billboards." "Flood their mail boxes with junk mail, mail order catalogues, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives." "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too!" "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas." "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive." "Have them return from their recreation exhausted." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation." "Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead." "Keep them busy, busy, and busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus." "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!"

It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?
You be the judge! Does "busy" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings .And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. - I Peter 5:8-1.

If you are too busy for daily prayer time and Bible reading, then you are under the end time yoke of Satan. If you now are too busy to to have time for evangelism, visiting and calling the brethren and family members, then you have been carried away with the cares of this life. If your life is busy with the cares, longing, desires, activities of this world, then you are among the deceived. If your heart is busy with business, buyings, beauty, building project, bank account, etc, it may be too late after the rapture.

If you love football or any sports, or anything in this world, then you will have problem with your love for Jesus. The Bible commands us to love God and fellow human beings, and only "like" things; but if you love anything of this world, that is have passion for something, be it sport, cars, cares of this life, you cannot love God at the same time.

Rededicate your life to Jesus Christ, refocus your priority, purpose of living, pursuit, prayers, and preaching on heaven and preparation for His coming. Care less about the passing things of this life, and you will not be among the foolish Christians.

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved" Matthew 24:12, 13

"...and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful." Matthew 13:22.

" Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."

IS ABORTION BEST SOLUTION FOR UNWANTED PREGNANCY?
Please read this story...

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Love says, 'I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.' Abortion says, 'I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.'
FROM 'THE BIBLE IS AGAINST ABORTION SITE'.

Abortion is the greatest murder on earth, because it’s killing an innocent person. No one on earth is as innocent as unborn baby. Women who commit abortion are like Judas Iscariot, men who sponsor or support abortion are worst than king Herod, medical professionals who carry out abortion are worst than Hitler’s armies, and friends or family who aid or abet abortion are equal to Ahithophel. Innocent blood only cry for God’s vengeance of destruction and eternal doom.

MERCY SAYS NO!

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.”

If you have found yourself guilty of abortion in any form, all you need is God’s mercy, and how do you get that? You repent, confess and surrender your life to Jesus completely. You are not going to just pray for the forgiveness of abortion, but you will need to confess all your sins, totally surrender your life to Jesus completely and become a new creation in Him; it is then that ALL THINGS will become new in your life. After that you confess to necessary people.
Proverbs 28:13, “He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”

If you are now a genuine child of God, living a new life of holiness and righteousness in Jesus, but you committed abortion in the past, you need not to be disturbed because God has forgiven and cleansed you. Do not allow Satan to haunt you with the sin God does not remember again; and you know what? Your aborted children are waiting for you in heaven. So if for any reason you must make heaven, you have your child waiting eagerly for you in heaven. When you get to heaven, you will meet her and know her name.

Never allow the innocent blood of unborn baby to stain your life again, because there may not be a second chance!

KNOWING THE LORD
1 Samuel 2:12, “Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the LORD.”

Knowing the Lord goes beyond being a Christian, knowing the Lord goes beyond being a Christian worker, it goes beyond being an ordained Christian minister; knowing the Lord is more than being a Pastor, Priest or Prophet; you can be any of that and yet not know the Lord. The Bible talks about the two children of the High Priest, Eli Hophni and Phinehas, they were priests, they knew the laws of God, they taught the laws of God, they knew the services of God, and they were busy offering the sacrifices of the LORD and doing the services of God. These men were anointed by the Lord has priests in Israel and they continued in the priesthood, making the holy sacrifices of the LORD GOD of Israel. With all these positions and performances, the Bible introduced them that they did not know the Lord. How could that? How could the Priests of the Lord not know the Lord? It is because knowing the Lord is more than working for God.

Know the Lord is not just about being identified as a Christian; it is not about being identified with a church, it is not about being identified as a Christian minister; knowing the Lord goes deeper than reading Bible or being devoted into fasting and prayer. To know the Lord is more than being a faithful Tither or giver; it is not about preaching God’s word or knowing more of God; it is not about speaking in tongues or having the gifts of Holy Spirit; knowing the Lord is not about performing miracles in the name of the Lord or winning souls to the Lord; knowing the Lord is more than being an ordained ministers or being a popular man of woman of God. Hophni and Phinehas were priests of the Lord, they were powerful, popular and performing the works of the Lord, yet they did not know the Lord. That was the reason Jesus Christ said, “Nothing everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven” Matthew 7:21.

Your position in the church, or in Christian activities has nothing to do with your personal encounter with the Lord.

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD
There is difference between knowledge about God and knowledge of God. You can be a non-Christian and know many things in the Bible and about God, you can be a Christian and have great and intensive knowledge about the word of God and about God; you may teach and preach about God, you pray prophesy, and experience miracles in your personal life or ministry; and yet you only know about God. Many Christians and pastors only have knowledge about God, which is the reason they will be disappointed on the last day. Knowledge about God is having knowledge about the Word of God, and being familiar with God, but without personal, present and permanent relationship with God. Knowledge about somebody is not an evidence of personal relationship with that person. You can know many things about somebody, you can talk and describe many things about somebody, and never have a personal relationship with the person; the same thing is applicable in our relationship with God.

Jesus says, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord’ have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare unto them, ‘I never know you, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness” Matthew 7:22

From here, you can see that it is possible that you can be a Prophet, Pastor; you can perform deliverance for people and cast out demons in them, you can express several gifts of the Spirit without knowing the Lord presently. Same thing is applicable to your pastors and popular ministers, performing miracles with flowing of anointing in somebody’s life is not an evidence of present and personal relationship with God.

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
Knowledge of God is knowing God and having a continuous relationship with Him! It involves relationship and continuity:

1, Relationship – To have knowledge of God is to create a cordial relationship with God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord, this happens by repenting from all your sins, confessing them and forsaking them, then starting to please God in new Life. To please God is to keep doing the will of God, and the will of God is righteousness, truth and holiness. Matthew 7:21.

2, Continuity – knowing God is not about the past experience, but present matter. If you have known God yesterday and pleased Him, but today you have gone back to sin, then the knowledge of yesterday is immaterial, before God now, you do not know Him at all. Ezekiel 18:24, “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.” So it is not about, “I have given my life to Christ Jesus, I have experienced salvation and gifts Holy Spirit” But are you continuously living to please God in holiness and righteousness up to date?

You can be saved in the morning and lose the salvation in the afternoon if you do not start to walk in holiness and righteousness, if you do not start to work out your salvation with trembling and godly fear, if you do not immediately depart from old sinful path, and if you do not take conscious effort to detach from sinful relationship, lifestyle, and if you do not destroy every ungodly materials, music, movies, magazines, and other stuffs in your possessions; let alone being saved some months or years back. So many Christians and ministers are claiming lost salvation and empty relationship with God. Relationship which you claim to have with God without pleasing Him in holiness and righteousness is an empty relationship.

“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” John 8:31. Continuing to abide in the Word and will of God is what makes a person a disciple of Jesus Christ indeed, and not in deception.

Have you really known the Lord in genuine salvation since you have been a Christian or a minister? Do you still know the Lord in continuous sanctification of life after your salvation, or you are relying on empty testimony of yesterday?

DOES HELL REALLY EXIST?
Scientific & Biblical Proving
What you're about to read is hard to believe. . .

Several years ago a book was published titled Beyond Death's Door by Dr Maurice Rawlings. Dr Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" and death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified and screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:

"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."

Then still another strange thing happened. He said, "Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, and it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before." (Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).

Dr Rawlings said, no one, who could have heard his screams and saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called hell!

". . . THEY DIG INTO THE HELL . . ." Amos 9:2
Another scientist Dr Azzacove Picks from Dr Rawling with this stunning revelation. He says "As a communist I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell," said Dr Azzacove. "Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of Hell!"

Dr Azzacove continued, ". . .the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit."

"We lowered a microphone, designed to detect the sounds of plate movements down the shaft. But instead of plate movements we heard a human voice screaming in pain! At first we thought the sound was coming from our own equipment."

"But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren’t those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans! (These details are from the translation of an article in a Finnish newspaper name 'Ammennusatia'.

Do you know why Jacques Costeau, the famous underwater explorer, quit deep sea diving sometime before he died? It is said that he stopped because he had heard in one of the underwater caves he was exploring, the sounds of people screaming.

There was also another time, when one of his men, who was in a diving bell in the deepest trench at the Bermuda Triangle, also had a similar experience. He signalled to be brought up immediately. After being revived from his shock, he told others of his frightening experience of hearing people's screams while under the deepest part of the sea.

The Bible continually warns of a place called hell. There are over 162 references in the New Testament alone which warns of hell. And over 70 of these references were uttered by the Lord Jesus Christ!

In Luke 16, Jesus Christ gives a frightening picture of hell:
22 . . . the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father�s house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. (Luke 16:22-28)

HELL IS A PLACE OF FIRE
The man in Luke 16:24 cries: ". . .I am tormented in this FLAME."
In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

In Matthew 25:41, Jesus says: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting FIRE,. . ."
Revelation 20:15 says, " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE."

THE BIBLE GIVES THE LOCATION OF HELL
When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He descended into hell. In Acts 2, Peter is speaking, verse 31, " . . . seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in HELL" When Jesus Christ died His soul went into hell.

And in Matthew 12:40, Jesus Christ says: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH. "The Bible is clear — Hell is inside the earth!

Ephesians 4:9, says of Jesus: "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH."

On page 85 of Beyond Death Door, Dr. Rawlings writes patients who described hell said, ". . . this place seems to be UNDERGROUND or WITHIN THE EARTH in some way." Scientist and Bible teacher, Henry Morris also agrees the Bible plainly teaches that hell is in this earth:
"So far as we can tell from Scripture, the present hell, is somewhere in the heart of the earth itself. It is also called 'the pit' (Isa. 14:9, 15: Ezek. 32:18-21) and 'the abyss' (Rev. 9:2). . .

The writers certainly themselves believed hell to be real and geographically 'beneath' the earth's surface. . .

To say this is not scientific is to assume science knows much more about the earth's interior than is actually the case. The great 'pit' [hell] would only need to be about 100 miles or less in diameter to contain, with much room to spare, all the forty billion or so people who have ever lived, assuming their 'spiritual' bodies are the same size as their physical bodies." (Henry M. Morris, The Bible Has the Answer, p. 220)

The Birmingham News, April 10, 1987 had an article entitled "Earth's Center Hotter Than Sun's Surface, Scientists Say". The article stated that scientists have recently discovered, "THE EARTH'S INNER CORE HAS A TEMPERATURE OF OVER 12,000 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!"

Have you seen pictures of a volcano erupting, spewing a lake of fire from inside the earth — consuming everything within miles just from the heat? When Mount St. Helens erupted in May 18, 1980, it was described by reporters, "When HELL surfaced upon the earth." The book, Volcanoes, Earth's Awakening (p.91) describes an erupting volcano as "descent into HELL".

YES! THERE IS A PLACE CALLED HELL!
In Numbers 16, the Bible gives the account of people falling into hell alive! "And THE EARTH OPENED HER MOUTH, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive INTO THE PIT, and the EARTH CLOSED UPON THEM:" Numbers 16:32-33

Caspar Peucer, a famous fourteenth century astronomer and physician, who also researched and documented the volcanoe eruptions at Heklafell wrote some very frightening information in his research findings. Peucer, claims (as others) that "fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth" could be heard "for many miles. . ." as these volcanoes erupted: "Out of the bottomless abyss of Heklafell, or rather out of Hell itself, rise melancholy cries and loud wailings, so that these can be heard for many miles around . . . there may be heard in the mountain fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)

And Caspar Peucer is not alone. There are others who believe they have heard "cries and screaming" coming from volcanoes. Most have tried to ignore the obvious. Some simply explain the "sounds of hell" to some rational meaning. But they are there. . ."The fearsome noises that issued from some of their volcanoes were certainly thought to be the screams of tormented souls in the fires of hell below". (Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)
Inside this earth, this very moment, there are millions of lost, tormented souls — burning, weeping, wailing — without any hope whatsoever!

In Mark 9:46, Jesus Christ says about hell: "Where THEIR WORM dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

Jesus said explicitly — THEIR worm — not a worm, or the worm — but THEIR worm. The Bible teaches that Christians will one day have a body like the Lord Jesus Christ. Scientists recently discovered cracks on the ocean floor where fire was leaking out. Do you know what they found around these fire-breathing vents in the crust? Eight-foot long worms, found no other place in the world! The book, The Deep Sea, by Joseph Wallace (p.39), reads, "Perhaps the strangest of ocean creatures recently discovered are Riftia, the giant tube WORMS. Measuring up to 8 feet in length, the worms are ONLY FOUND NEAR DEEP SEA VENTS."

And Jesus Christ said, "Where THEIR WORM dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
National Geographic magazine truthfully titled their story on Volcanoes "Going To Hell". When PBS did a series on The Savage Earth, one episode was titled "Hell's Crust: Our Everchanging Planet". Everything we know. Everything we observe. Echoes the truth of a place called hell.
Nature magazine recently discovered (July 2002) what the Bible knew over 3,000 years ago. Inside this earth is "fire and brimstone": "Volcanoes may be more like hell than anyone realized. Eruptions disgorge streams of molten sulphur, the brimstone of evangelical preachers, which burns up before it can be preserved for posterity, new research in the journal Geology shows". (Nature, Science Update, July 22, 2002)

HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT
Jesus says of the man in Luke 16:
23 "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in TORMENTS. . . "
24 ". . . for I am TORMENTED in this FLAME."
28 ". . .PLACE OF TORMENT."
It is humanly impossible to comprehend the Bible description of hell. Nothing on earth can compare with it. No nightmare could produce a terror to match that of hell. No horror movie could describe it�s fright. No crime scene with all it�s blood and gore could begin to match it�s horror.
It will be beyond anything humanly imaginable!

The Bible warns in Psalm 9:17, you will not only be in hell — you will BE TURNED INTO HELL! You will literally BE HELL! “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17

The Bible describes it as weeping (Matt 8:12), wailing (Matt 13:42), gnashing of teeth (Matt 13:50), darkness (Matt 25:30), flames (Luke 16:24), burning (Isa 33:14), torments (Luke 16:23), everlasting punishment! Jesus Christ says in Matthew 25:41, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels."

In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."


HELL IS FOREVER!
Rev. 14:11: "The smoke of their TORMENT ascendeth up for EVER AND EVER: and they have NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT." Just look how the Bible warns of the eternity and permanence of hell:

everlasting fire - Matthew18:8, 25:41
everlasting punishment - Matthew 25:46
everlasting chains-Jude 1:6
eternal damnation -Mark 3:29
eternal judgment -Hebrews 6:2
eternal fire -Jude 1:7
unquenchable fire - Matthew 3:12
the fire that never shall be quenched -Mark 9:43, 44, 45, 46, 48
fire unquenchable - Luke 3:17
mist of darkness is reserved for ever - 2 Peter 2:17
the blackness of darkness for ever - Jude 1:13

What could possibly be worth eternity in hell? No wonder Jesus Christ warned so much about hell! No wonder Jesus said in Mark 8:36, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?"

Hebrews 9:27 says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGEMENT"
Friend, it is appointed unto man once to die . . . and one day — YOU will die . . .
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments . . .

But God is a God of LOVE. . . Why would a GOD OF LOVE send me to hell? Yes, God is a GOD OF LOVE — but God is also a HOLY GOD. A HOLY GOD demands payment for sin. Otherwise God would NOT and could NOT be HOLY.

Because God is holy — sin MUST be condemned. Joshua 24:19 says, ". . he is an HOLY GOD;. . . he will NOT forgive your transgressions nor your sins."

BUT FRIEND I HAVE GOOD NEWS!
God does NOT want you in hell because hell was not made for man. Matthew 25:41 says, hell was, ". . . prepared for the devil and his angels:"

Because God is a GOD OF LOVE, and He LOVED YOU so much, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to die a cruel death on a cross to pay the price a HOLY GOD demands for your sins.
Roman 5:8 says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God does not send someone to hell. You choose hell when you reject Jesus Christ. When you refuse God's love gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ. . .

DON’T GO TO HELL!
Millionaire Ted Turner, said in an interview,” I’m looking forward to dying and being cast into Hell. That's where I belong." You say —a fool! But friend, when you say "No" to Jesus Christ and His payment for your sin — you are saying the same thing! "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent from all your sins, confess and forsake them, become a new creature in Jesus and you will be saved from the terror of hell.

CAN A CHILD OF GOD DRINK ALCOHOL, AT LEAST LITTLE?
Judges 13:7, “And He said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”

Samson was conceived as a Nazirite of God and was to be a Nazirite through out his lifetime. In the Old Testament, a Nazirite was a person who separated and consecrated himself unto God for a period of time and followed the law of Nazirite. One major law of Nazirite was abstinence from wine. Samson was conceived and born nazirite of God and was to be a life nazirite of God; the angel of God warned the parents not to drink wine during the pregnancy, and since Samson would be a life nazirite, he was supposed to stay away from wine.

Drinking to Destruction
After many years, Samson began to drink wine and that led to his destruction, because as a nazirite of God, he was forbidden to drink wine. It was actually the drinking of wine that laid the foundation of Samson’s destruction. It was not a sin for others to drink wine then, but because Samson was a nazirite of God and nazirites don’t drink wine. Numbers 6:1-4.

Nazirite of Jesus
When you become a child of God through Jesus Christ, you become a nazirite of God for life, separated unto God fully and forever. As a nazirite of Jesus Christ, no drinking of alcohol, not even a little.

Here is the answer to the above question, it is not a sin for you to drink beer or alcoholic drink as long you are not a born again Christian, as long you are not a nazirite of Jesus, but immediately you genuinely surrender your life to Jesus Christ and become an heavenly recognized Christian, you become a nazirite of God and it is forbidden for you to drink any alcohol.

Do Not Be Drunk With Wine!
Ephesians 5:18, “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,”

When Apostle Paul said, “Do not be drunk with wine” does that implies a child of God can drink alcohol moderately but not to stupor? The answer is no! What it means is that a child of God can drink wine but not alcoholic wine, not any wine that has the capacity of alcohol to make people drunk at any level of drinking. Any wine that can make you drunk contains alcohol and a child of God must not drink such. Not every wine during the time of Jesus and Paul contained alcohol, just as it is in our present time. At least you will agree with me that the wine which Jesus Christ used for the Holy Communion was not alcoholic since we still have and use the same wine today. It is a non fermented fruit of the vine, juice wine, and non-alcoholic. Matthew 26:28. So, some wines then were not alcoholic and also today; such fruit, juice wine, non-alcoholic wines are meant for a child of God who is interested in juice wine, anything apart from that is dissipation and will hinder the free flow of Holy Spirit in one’s life.

Little Wine, Little Water!
In his letter, Apostle Paul admonished Timothy, "No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities." 1 Timothy 5:23. So, how is that applicable to us or what is the meaning of that to Christians? It means alcohol can be used as part of medical ingredients in drugs; Christians can consume drugs containing average percentage of alcohol for medical purpose. But when a substance contains larger percentage of alcohol, when people are drinking pure alcohol or mixing it with herbs or other stuffs in the name of medical purposes, such types are self deception and dissipation of indulging in alcoholic habit; God will not give His children healing through such means.

No Drinking, No Selling and No Abetting!
As it is sinful for a nazirite of God to drink alcoholic drink, so it is sinful to selling or to work at company where alcoholic drinks are produced. Those who aid and abet alcoholic drinks are working directly against God and walking directly into God’s judgment. If you are running a beer parlour or restaurant, when you truly and genuinely give your life to Jesus, you close such destructive business; if you are working where beer or alcohol is sold or distributed, when you totally surrender your life to Jesus, you will resign for God to assign you rightly; and if you are working in a brewery where alcohol is part of the products, you must resign so God can appoint you into His special purpose for your life.

“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’ Amos 2:12

AND WHO IS A HARLOT? Please read this!!!

Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

We tend to term or tag a harlot or prostitute to a woman who usually has sex with different men for money. But the reality is that, being a prostitute is far more than being a street or hotel sex worker. From the light of the Word of God, in the sight of God, a woman can be a prostitute or harlot without being a regular sex worker or without having sex for money; a woman can be a confirmed Prostitute and still looks and behaves decent, and still be a serious or zealous Christian woman, she can even be a minister or a minister's wife. It is a limited and inadequate insight and knowledge of people that see only women standing beside the road or hotel as prostitutes.

There are different types of harlots or prostitutes, and they are of different levels, but before God, all are seen as harlots. Let's see some other types of harlots apart from the regular sex workers:

(1) HARLOT BY GARMENT
Genesis 38:15, "When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot"

You can be registered as a harlot in heaven simply by the way you dress. You don't need to become an active sex worker, you don't need to commit a single sexual immorality with a man before Heaven will recognize you as a prostitute and remove your name from the Book of Life; in fact you can be a virgin but still a heavenly recognized harlot. How does that happens? It happens simply by what you wear and how you wear what you wear. If you wear low-cut dress or low necklines including ball gowns that exposes your cleavage, meaning, that shows the upper part, little trace of your breasts when you bend down, you are a harlot. You don't need to be half naked before you become harlot by garment, but as long you wear any clothing that reveals your cleavage a little, you are a harlot.

Also if you wear tight clothes that shows the anatomy of your body to the world as to show your shape, you are a harlot; if you wear transparent or perforated clothing that shows your inner-wears, you are a harlot; if you wear any dress which does not covers your arms or your kneels, you are a harlot. This may be hard to take but a spiritual reality for holy standard of the heaven minded.

You can be a pastor, a minister, deaconess; you can speak in tongues of angels, you can sing like angels, whoever you are or claim to be does not matter, but to God, you are a decent harlot. If this is too hard for you to take, you can wait until you get to the gate of heaven, only that will be too late, and I will not advise you to wait that too late. There will be surprise on the rapture day and in heaven, when our identities are declared to us, and we may say, "Lord, I am not a harlot, and never be one"

As a Christian woman, what will be your reason before God for wearing clothing that exposes your cleavage? How will you defend your motive of wearing tight, transparent, perforated and short dress?

(2) HARLOT BY GETTING
Genesis 38:21, "Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.”

A harlot is a woman who gives sex to a man in order to get something back; so if you, as a woman, give sex to get a job, you are registered harlot in heavens, even if it is once. If you, as a woman, allow a man to sleep with you because of promotion at work, because you want to retain your job, because you want to get contract, because of your schooling, because of favor- you are a heavenly recognized prostitute. Prostitution is giving sex in exchange for something, it doesn't matter if it is money or not, and it doesn't matter if it is just once or forever.

Here is the is the terrifying truth: Whatever you have gotten by allowing men to sleep with you - even if those things were supposed to be your right, but as long as you allowed man to sleep before you got it through, you are a harlot - the job, certificate, etc are dividends of your harlotry, and the salary, profit, whatever you are getting as a result are wages of a harlot. The most terrific matter here is that, if you are giving tithes, offerings from the wages you got through harlotry, you are only waging serious judgment of God against your life and eternity, because God warned that no wages of harlotry should be brought into His house.

Here is the word of God in Deuteronomy 23:18, "You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God."

Your pastor can collect your tithes and offerings, your prosperity pastors can say anybody can bring tithes, but you are only doing yourself havoc if you are in such category. To have the mercies of God, you need to repent, open up and confess, then do necessary restitution.

(3) HARLOT BY GIVING
Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

If you are in marital relationship, and you commit premarital sex, in a way of giving your love or promise to the man, you are a harlot. Premarital sex in a marital relationship is only an act of harlotry. In the book of Genesis 34, a man called Shechem loved Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he slept with her, even though he had not married her; when her brothers heard it, they were angry and said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?” - Only a prostitute will be sleeping with a man before marriage, that is what the brothers meant.

If a man is asking a woman for premarital sex in a relationship, he is only addressing the woman as a prostitute, taking her to be a prostitute; and if a woman is allowing a man to sleep with her in a marital relationship, she is only presenting herself to be a harlot. So the same man who has been sleeping with her can think and decide tomorrow that he doesn't want to marry her again, and why? "She is a harlot" But you are the same man who has been sleeping with her. The man answers, "Yes, I know, but I am not her husband yet, it only proves she is a harlot."

If you had premarital sex before you got married, and you covered it up, you need to repent NOW and realize your sin. Then you will need to confess to the necessary people: your parents, your pastors, including the pastor who joined you together. If you think it is a past matter and no need to confess to the necessary people, you are only embalming your past sin, and enlisting yourself as a harlot in hell.

Take or give, a woman who has extra-marital sex is also a harlot, even if it was once or it was in past; until she confesses to her husband, she is still a prostitute in God's eyes. But as long as such a woman has repented and confessed to her husband, she is as clean as a virgin before God, because when we repent and confess, God is always faithful to forgive and cleanse us, and never remember again our sins as long as don't go back.

AND WHAT ABOUT MEN?
So, what about men who have who ask or commit premarital sex or extra-marital sex, are they also harlots or what should we call them? The same thing is applicable to men, a man who commit premarital sex is a fornicator and a man who commits extra-marital sex is an adulterer. The solution to settle the matter is not a matter of saying, "I don't do it again and I have asked to forgive me" Such a man will need to repent, confess to God and to his wife, to one another as the case may be. If you, as man, has asked a woman for premarital or extra-marital sex, after you have repented, you will need to apologize to the woman for the "evil asking"

Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

This message is not meant to condemn us, but it is to correct us so that we will not be condemned with the world at the end. Let us make the necessary amendment.

1 Corinthians 11:31, 32, "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

R E S E R V E D !

The fallen angels are reserved in hell for judgment. “For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment” 2 Peter 2:4

The ungodly – un-repented people are reserved for judgment and perdition. “then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment” 2 Peter 2:9.

This present world and universe is reserved for fire on the Day of Judgment. “But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:7.

Beloved, do not allow the fallen angels to deceive you with the present pleasure, position or possession, do not be deceived by the passing and perishing things of this present world, and do not be reserve any sin un-repented in your life. Repent, refuse, resist and reject the gain of unrighteousness of this world.

Do you still have any reserved area in your life which you have not surrendered to Jesus? Those who have reserved area, no-go-area in their personal lives from Jesus to touch are reserving themselves for the judgment of God.

1 John 2:15-17
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”

COMING AND ABIDING
John 8:31, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”

Jesus Christ preached the Gospel to the people in the Temple one day, the Pharisees and Scribes opposed Him, but some few people, including Jews, believed in Jesus and came to Him. Jesus made them to know that their confession and coming to Him is not a complete and total work of their salvation, He said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed” John 8:31.

When you hear the Word of God, when somebody asks you to give your life to Jesus, maybe on personal bases or in a gathering; when you decide to surrender your life to Jesus after you hear or read God’s Word, when you answer the call for salvation, and you repent, confess your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord; that is the beginning of your relationship with Jesus, it is not the end. Your repentance, confession and coming to Christ are an integral part of your salvation, what would seal your salvation in Christ indeed is abiding in the Word of God.

Being born again is not just cash and claim stuff as the modern preachers and churches are misleading many souls to hell. To be saved means you come to Jesus, repent and confess your sins and then continue to abide in Jesus in newness of life. To abide in the Word of God is to abandon your old, formal sinful lifestyle and start a new life in Jesus. It’s reading, meditating and applying the Word of God into your life on a daily and continuous bases. If you just confess and continue the ways and manners you live before, if you just confess, pray and continue in your old lifestyle, you have made yourself to be a psychedelic Christian, one of these unrecognized Christians to heaven.

Salvation is not just confessing, it’s not coming out for altar call, but it’s confessing and coming out of your sinful life. Jesus knew anybody could be emotional to come and confess their sins, anybody could raise up his hands for salvation call, but that would not guarantee their entrance to heaven. He said what perfects our salvation, what confirms a man or woman to be a real born again is more than temporal confession, it is continuous abiding in the Word of God.

Our modern day preachers, pastors and Bishop may tell you, “You just say this prayer of salvation after me, then you are saved and you can start to enjoy the prosperity and blessing of God, you just believe and that is all” that is the reason these half-made born again cannot overcome sins, that is the reason you see a lot of funny things happening today among the ministers and members, you see these so-called born again living below sins and you wonder why everybody claims to be born again but no difference.

That is the reason you may be wondering in your personal life, after you are declared born again, your life remains as the same as old; because you were half-done. If your Christian life is based on faith of confessing without work of continuing to live in accordance to God’s Word, you are a half-done Christian and that is of no use. Faith of coming to Jesus and confessing is the first step to Jesus, but forsaking your sins and abiding in Jesus completes it, abiding to the end.

Jesus says, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.” John 8:31. You need to abandon your old life before you can abide in the Word of God; you need to abandon the World of sin before you can abide in the Word of God.

You must also take note of this:
For you to go far with God you must go far from the world.

You must disassociate yourself from old lifestyle, old associations; you must detach yourself from anything of old that may pull you back to your vomit, the sinful relationship, ungodly friends, worldly music, worldly movies, worldly dressing, worldly materials, all must be taken away from you if you really want to abide in God’s Word, if you really want to be God’s disciple indeed.

Until you surrender all these to God and let go, you will always find yourself going up and down in your spiritual life, confessing sin and committing sin, becoming saint and behaving sinner. You need to surrender all, everything to God. You can do that now, just go back to Jesus, tell Him you are ready to surrender everything without reservation and you want to abide in Him. This is called rededication and consecration with determination of heart.

From here, you will be going forward and never backward. You can do that and the Lord will help you.

Please note that after you rededicate your life to Jesus afresh now, you need to be reading Bible everyday, at least two chapters, you can start from Matthew. You meditate and pray for God’s grace to abide, obey His Word. You must abide in daily Bible reading and pray, that is what will help you to abide in God forever.
