Christianity EtcThe Test Of Trust by FreshGreen(op): 9:15am On Sep 09, 2014
THE TEST OF TRUST
Exodus 15:22, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.”

Before God can entrust greater things into your hands, either in your personal life or in the ministry, He will first teach you how you must trust Him with all your heart, and then test if you will eventually trust Him with all your life. The Lord taught and tested the children of Israel in the wilderness, but unfortunately majority of them failed and so they fell in the wilderness.

Do you know that God knows your needs before you are aware of them? Yes He does! God knows you needed a life partner even before you saw the need for it, He knew you would need children when that was like the least thing you thought about. As a woman, God gave you womb since childhood, even when you did not need the womb, because God knew you would need the womb to conceive; God did not give you womb after you are married. And so it’s applicable to all our needs. God knows what we will need and He has made provision for them even when we do not see the needs.

God brought the children of Israel from Egypt to journey in the wilderness to the Promised Land, as all-knowing-God, would He not have known that they would need water to drink in the wilderness? But God wanted to teach and test them to trust Him, so He delayed the provision of the water. If the children of Israel were to trust God, they would have cast their need before God in prayer, who just delivered them from the Red Sea and from the bondage of Egypt; but if they were to doubt and disbelieve God, they would complain. Unfortunately, they doubted God, and so they complained. “ Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” Exodus 15:23, 24.

The reason why God delayed in any aspect of your life as a child of God is not because He is trying to denying you, He is not trying to disappoint or destroy you, but He wants to test your love for Him, because He has a special copy of what you need for you, and He wants to know if you actually deserve it. In such a delayed period, if truly you love and trust God, you will keep praying and keep patience before God, and keep working for God. You will not allow the need to drain your love for God, you will not allow the urgent needs to discourage you from working for God with all your strength, and you will not allow the need to drift you into sin against God.

From the Genesis of the Bible, wherever there is a delay for children of God, it means there is a peculiar portion on the way; what it means is that, delay usually serve as a sign for something special for the people of God, from Abraham to Zacharias. In the New Testament, this man called Zacharias was a just man, serving God. He married a godly woman called Elizabeth from a good home of Levi. They were both serving God. Now, who do you think is suppose to get the fastest blessing? Is it not the families that are serving God? Yes, but not always the way we expect it.

Luke 1:5-7, "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years."

Probably Elizabeth was a virgin, kept herself for her husband, no premarital sex and no abortion; while her friends were messing around, she was only serving God and keeping herself. She was faithful and fervent in the Lord. Now she is married and no child. But her friends who were messing around before marriage, whom she was preaching the word of God to, were easily having their babies in their different matrimonial homes; these friends committed several abortions and slept with so many men, yet they don’t have problem with childbearing. But why is Mrs Elizabeth Zachariah barren while her unbelieving friends are bearing many children? The truth is that all her friends can give birth to many children but none of them can give birth to John the Baptist, the greatest man born of woman.

Only Elizabeth could give birth to John the Baptist, because her womb was reserved for that special child. But God would not just give John the Baptist to any woman to give birth to, God would want to see if Sister Elizabeth really deserve it. So, God’s delay is to determine if you deserve the best.

Can God entrust you with the best? Then you will have to trust Him with every bit of your life in the time of trial. Zacharias and Elizabeth kept serving God even when they were having delay, they were not discouraged; they did not compromise and they did not allow the delay to distract them. "So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord." Luke 1:8,9. It is actually in serving God during the delay that God serves you with the best.

What is your delay? No job? No healing yet? No spouse? No child or what? As long you are a genuine child of God, God is reserving you for the best, get it clear. So, don’t be discouraged. Everything works together to good for them who love God. But you may think, “But is there any good that can come out of my worst situation? Things have gone beyond retrieve, I’m embarrassed and ashamed already, it is already sealed and no solution anymore, all I care for now is just to make heaven, after all”

Beloved, your thinking is humanly right, but bibically wrong. From the history of the world till the world will come to an end, there is no crime as worst, as evil and terrible as the killing of Jesus Christ, to kill the only sinless Man ever born and ever existed on earth; for creatures to use their created hands to slap their Creator and crucify Him on the cross in a painful death. Oh how terrible! But out of the worst historical event, God brought out the greatest historical blessing – salvation of humanity. So, if God could bring good thing out of the killing of Jesus, if God could make the greatest crime on earth to bring about the greatest blessing of justification, then the same God can work good thing out of your worst condition at the moment, if only you can trust Him and stay faithful to Him.

Romans 8:28, 31, 32, 35, 38, 39.
“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. 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? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s delay is to determine if you deserve the best. So wait, and I say, wait on Him! Just wait and trust Him, and see the wonders of God in your life.

Stay blessed in Christ

Christianity EtcWaiting On The Lord by FreshGreen(op): 9:40am On Sep 08, 2014
WAITING ON THE LORD!
1 Samuel 13:8-10
“Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.”

If you are a child of God, you must wait on the Lord and continue to wait on Him until the end. When things are not working as supposed, you must wait on the Lord; when time seems wasting out of the appointed time, you must wait on the Lord. When people are walking away from you, you must wait on the Lord. When you are wandering what could have gone wrong, you must wait on the Lord. When you ask “why” and no response from God, you must wait on the Lord.

Waiting on the Lord is not a waste of time as many people may see it, it’s not because you are weak or ignorant or lazy as people may say it, but it’s because you are wise in the Lord. While others are being smart with worldly wisdom and doing short cut, you need the wisdom of the Lord by waiting on Him.

Waiting on the Lord is the wisdom for successful and victorious living.

The only alternative for waiting on the Lord is to wander away and waste God’s grace and glorious destiny just as king Saul did; but you will not want to be stupid to opt for such alternative, you will not want to become another king Saul of this generation.

King Saul was favoured by God, he was appointed by God, he was anointed by God, but he wasted everything because he could not wait on the Lord till the end.

1 Samuel 13:11-14: And Samuel said, “What have you done?”
Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, 12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.”

13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

What are you waiting on the Lord for in your life? And it seems the whole world is walking away from you or it looks the time is wasting away on you? You might have been waiting on the Lord for long and now it seems you are weak or wary of wait any longer, but you still have to wait so that your waiting all these while will not be a waste, so that Satan will not waste your destiny. If God will not do it, who will do it? Satan will give you his offer to wander away from waiting on the Lord, but can you bear the consequences and the lost at the end?

Waiting on the Lord is not easy, but it is peaceful, secure and successful at the end. When you trust God for everything, even when it seems late with you, He will turn it to the latest for you, because He controls time and seasons.

Wait in the will of the Lord, continue to wait in the way of God in righteousness without compromise even if everyone is walking away from you, even though the world is seeing you as foolish – the Lord is your wisdom, even though you are weak or wary – the Lord will renew your strength and surprise you with the best. Wait on the Lord in prayer and praises!

“He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”
- Isaiah 40:29-31

Christianity EtcShould Children Of God Cohabit by FreshGreen(op): 11:21am On Sep 06, 2014
SHOULD CHILDREN OF GOD COHABIT?
Cohabitation is an arrangement where a man and woman who are not married live together in an intimate relationship, particularly an emotionally and/or sexually intimate one, on a long-term or permanent basis; living together in a sexual relationship without being married.

People cohabit for several reasons: some because of financial difficulty to do wedding, so they decide to live together until they can gather enough money for wedding; some cohabit to test and try their relationship, and see if they can move forward to proper marriage; some cohabit because either parents do not support the relationship, so they decide to live together until both parents support. Others cohabit because of relocation, and so they stay together for the time other partner gets his or her apartment or till they marry. Some also cohabit, not because of marital relationship, but to assist the other opposite sex who needs accommodation.

The Bible truth is that, cohabitation is a sin wherever you are or whatever reasons you have, because:

(1) IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY. Having sex with a partner before a legal and official wedding is a sin of sexual immorality of fornication, and no fornicator is a child of God or will enter heaven. 1 Corinthians 5:11, "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator.....with such an one no not to eat." Fornicators dishonor their bodies.

(2) IT'S DISHONORING GOD'S NAME. "What if we live together and we don't have sex?" Even when there is no sex between both people, though rare, it is dishonoring God's name; they are defiling God's name before people. As children of God, we are not only to live with pure conscience before God, but also before men. "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16. When you and an opposite sex are living together, you are passing wrong message to people and living in conscience full of offense towards people.

(3) IT'S AN ACT OF DISORDER. God is not an Author of confusion, but He is an Author of an orderly marriage, where wedding takes place before marriage; having marriage before wedding is a serious act of disorder of high grade. We cannot disorder God's orderly arranged institution and procedure, and expect God's approval.

SO WHAT IF OUR PARENTS AND PASTORS ARE AWARE AND SUPPORT US? Even if your parents are aware and your pastors support, it does not overrule the truth that premarital sex is a sin. When your parents support your cohabitation, then you are not sinning against your parents, since they support, but you are only sinning against God; and when your pastors support you cohabiting, you are not sinning against your pastors then, but against your own soul. Fornication cannot turn to familiarity because of the support of parents or pastors, it only means the pastors are immoral and the parents are mis-supporting.

AND WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN? Having children do not make a marriage, what makes a marriage is a legal wedding between a man and a woman. Having children in cohabitation is simply bringing forth children on spoiled and sinful foundation.

If a man and woman are living together as married without legal wedding, people may see them as married couple, family and friends may address them as married, but to God, they are sinful partners living together. There was a story of a woman cohabiting with a man in the Bible, what did Jesus tell her? "Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” John 4:17, 18. The woman had had 5 husbands recognized by Jesus as "husbands" because they did what it took to be husbands, but the man she was living with at that moment was only recognized by Jesus as "the one", not as husband. No matter how many years you live together, no matter how many kids you have together, you are not recognized by God as husband and wife.

REPENT, RESTITUTE!
If you are living with an opposite sex partner or friend, you need to repent by realizing it to be sin, and asking God to forgive you. Genuine experience of salvation is very important. Then you do the right thing immediately - part away or do the right things. If you already have children and concluded to marry, you may not need to do elaborate wedding, just inform your parents, go to the government to legalize it and pay bride price as demanded by your culture immediately. You should do this without delay or detach from each other until this is done. It is better to separate, surrender your life to Jesus and pray for God's guidance, because the person may not even be God's will for you to marry, since you are now a child of God.

There is eternal condemnation for those who live in cohabitation and die in such condition, and if rapture takes place in such condition, there is no way such people can make the rapture to meet the Lord, because it is living in immorality, and no immoral person will enter heaven or make the rapture.

Romans 12:1, 2,
"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. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Christianity EtcBelieve It Or Not by FreshGreen(op): 11:14am On Sep 05, 2014
2 Peter 3:3-7 "knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 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."

You can escape hell if you believe Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him and start a new life in Him NOW!

Christianity EtcThe Mystery Of Prayer Revealed -3 by FreshGreen(op): 10:03am On Sep 04, 2014
THE MYSTERIES OF PRAYER REVEALED (Part 3)
(This story started from Part 1 . You can check our facebook page below for the Part 1 & 2 or you send email to us and ask or it; we will send it to your email.)

.......And this man said that when prayer breaks through like that, the answer will always come. He said he does not know a case where prayer broke through and the answer did not come. He said the answer always came, but in most cases, it would never get to the person who asked. Why? Battle in the heavenlies. He says as long as they succeed in cutting off the open heavens and the rock is restored, they watch this person, they are waiting because they know the answer is definitely coming.

And then this man spoke something that really shook my faith. It is because of the next part he shared that I went into fasting ten days to say, Lord, is this true? Can you prove it to me? This man said that every Christian has got an angel serving that Christian. Now we know the Bible says angels are ministering spirits to us. He said that when people pray, the answer comes in the hands of the angel. The angel brings the answer like we can read it in the book of Daniel. Then he said something really tough; if the one who prays knows the spiritual armors and is clothed with them, the answer comes by an angel who is also clothed in full armor.

If the one who prays doesn't care about spiritual armory, their angels come without spiritual armor. Christians who don't care about what kind of thoughts come into their minds. They don't fight the battle of their minds. Their angels come without the helmet. Whatever spiritual weapon you ignore on earth, the angel doesn't have it as he serves you. In other words, our spiritual armor is not protecting our physical bodies; it's protecting our spiritual exploits.

This man said, when the angel is coming, they would focus and look at him and notice the areas which are not covered, and those are the areas they would attack. If he has no helmet, they would shoot at his head. If he has no breastplate, they would shoot at his chest. If he has no shoes, they would make a fire that he is walking in the fire.

Now I am just repeating what this man said. Actually, we asked him, "Can angels feel fire?" And you know what he said to us? Remember this is a spiritual realm. These are spirits dealing with spirits. The battle is intensive, and when they overpower an angel of God, the first thing they target is the answer he is carrying, and they get that from him, that is what they give through the cults, the witchcraft, and people say, "I got this because of witchcraft."

Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from God. So where does the devil get the things he gives to his people? Some people who cannot have children, they go to witch doctors and satanists, and they get pregnant! Who gave them that baby? Is satan a creator? NO! He steals from those who don't pray to the end. Jesus said, "Pray without ceasing." And then He said, "But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?" Will He find you still there waiting? Or will you have given up and the enemy would steal what you have prayed for?

UNDERSTANDING
Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

The 7 whole armor of God are:
1, Truth
2, Breastplate of righteousness
3, preparation of the Gospel of peace.
4, Shield of faith
5, Helmet of Salvation
6, Sword of the Spirit
7, Prayer.

You can see that prayer is not the first in the list of the whole armor of God, neither is fasting, speaking in tongues or sowing seeds. Many churches and ministers today are so much interested in prayer, but many are praying ignorantly. Your fireful prayer life without a life of holiness and righteousness will not make your prayer to be fervent.

Your lifestyle of genuine salvation, holiness, righteousness, faith, sound understanding of God's Word and preaching the gospel are more important than fasting, speaking in tongues and others. When you equipped yourself with these armors, by your way of living, you will not need to be running to a minister of God or from one church to a mountain for prayer; you will not only be able to pray effective prayer for yourself and family members, but you will be able to pray for others effectively.

Churches who teach prayer without purity are ignorant of effective and fervent prayer. If you want your prayer to be effective and too powerful for devil and demons to resist, you need genuine salvation, you need to speak truth always, you need to live righteous life, you need to preach the gospel always, you need faith in Christ, not faith in your prayer, you need to read and mediate God's word, then you need to pray without ceasing.

If you have any question or you need more details about the Whole Armor of God, you can please contact us.

Christianity EtcThe Mystery Of Prayer Revealed -2 by FreshGreen(op): 10:33am On Sep 03, 2014
THE MYSTERIES OF PRAYER REVEALED (2)
(This story started from Part 1. You can check our facebook page below for the Part 1 or you send email to us and ask or it; we will send it to your email.)

There comes an opening in the spiritual realm. And as soon as this comes, all this trouble in prayer stops. The person who is praying on the ground just feels like prayer is suddenly so smooth, so enjoyable, so powerful and intense. And I've discovered at that moment, we normally lose conscience of time and other things. Not that we become disorderly. God takes care of our time. But it is like you lay down everything, and you hook up with God. And this man said that when the prayers go through, from that moment there can be no resistance at all, and the person praying will continue as long as he wants. There is no resistance that can stop him.

And then he said, after he finishes praying, the hole remains open, and he said that people, when they rise out of their place of prayer, and they walk out, this open hole moves along with them. They are no longer operating under the blanket. They are operating under open heavens. And he said in that state, the devil cannot do what he wants against them. And the presence of the Lord is like a pillar from heaven resting on their lives. They are protected, and there is so much power inside that pillar that as they move around, that presence touches other people. It discerns what the enemy has done in other people. And as they talk to people and those people are standing with them, they come inside this pillar. And as long as they stay inside that pillar, all the bondage of the enemy weaken.

So when these people who have this spiritual break-through share Jesus Christ with the sinners, their resistance is low. It is so easy to bring them through. When they pray for the sick or pray about things, the presence which is there makes all the difference. And this man said the devil hates such people. And it said if there are places where prayer is regularly being prayed through like that, the presence comes upon that place and does not leave. So even the people who don't know God, when they come into this place suddenly all the bondage are weakened.

And if someone cared to just minister to them patiently and with love, they can easily be pulled through, not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God, who is present. And he said, if no one bothers about these people, they come into his presence, they feel convicted, they begin to debate whether to yield or not, but if they are not pulled through, when they walk away from this place, bondage get stronger. And the devil tries his best not to allow them to come back into such an environment.

You can imagine we were all seated looking at this man. He was telling us the things he used to do and what he used to see. Then he told us what they would do to people who have broken through in prayer. He said they marked such people; they studied such people. They dug up everything they could find about such people. So they knew their weaknesses, and when someone overcomes them in prayer and breaks through, they communicate with other spirits and say, "Target him with this and with this and with this. These are his weaknesses." So when this person walks out of the prayer closet, the spirit of prayer is upon him, the presence is upon him, his spirits are high, the joy of the Lord is his strength. As he moves the enemy tries to bring those things that can distract him from focusing on the Lord.

If his weakness is in the area of temper, then the enemy is going to cause people to do things which can make him really angry. And if he is not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and he allows himself to go into the temper, he takes his eyes off the Lord. He gets angry, he feels so furious, and after a few minutes later, he wants to put that behind him and move along in the joy of the Lord, but he doesn't feel it anymore. He tries to feel good again; he doesn't feel any good again. Why? As he yielded to the temptation, they worked hard to close the door upstairs. And once they restore the rock, the presence is cut off. The person does not cease being a child of God. But that extra anointing that goes on his life, that presence that could do things without his manipulating anything, it's just cut off. They seek out where the weaknesses are.

If it is in the temptation to sexuality, the enemy will prepare people, events, something that will suddenly draw out that passion to go towards that temptation. And if that man yields to this temptation and opens up his mind to receive these thoughts, entertains them, when he is through with everything and wants to move again in the anointing, he just discovers it is no longer there. Maybe you say, "That's not fair." Just remember what the Bible says, "Put on the helmet of salvation. Put on the breastplate of righteousness." We normally do not see the position, the place of these weapons of warfare. But remember what Jesus told us to pray towards the end of the Lord's prayer, "Take us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

Every time you have a breakthrough in prayer, as you come to the end, remember you are still a weak human being. Remember you have not yet been perfected. Ask the Lord, say "Lord, I've enjoyed this time of prayer, but when I walk out into this world, lead me not into temptation. Don't allow me to walk into the devil's trap. I know the enemy is setting a trap out there. I don't know what form it is going to take. And I know I am still weak in certain areas. If I am just put in the right place, I will yield to that. Protect me, Lord. When you see me turning that corner where the trap is, just cause me to turn to the other side. Intervene, O Lord. Don't allow me to move by just my own strength and ability. Deliver me from the evil one."

God is able to do that. He is able. That is why sometimes things happen, all you need to say is, "Thank you, Jesus." That's why Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Thessalonians and said, "Thank God in everything for that is the will of God in Christ for you." Some things are not good. They are painful, and we wonder why God would allow it. But if only we knew what He is saving us from, we would thank Him. When we learn to trust the Lord, we just thank Him in everything.

Beloved, I don't know whether to go deeper because I do not want to start something I cannot finish. Let me just try to take one step forward.

UNDERSTANDING!
“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Mark 14:38

It is very important for every serious minded child of God to be watchful. Jesus warned us to watch and pray, and not just to pray. Watchfulness is very important along our prayer, because without watchfulness our prayer will be powerless. We must be watchful how we live our lives in accordance to God’s word. Those who spend a lot of time to pray and fast without watching to live life of purity are only wasting their times, except they are only concerned about physical blessings and breakthrough without expectation for heaven.

Before you pray, watch and after you pray watch! Watchfulness starts from reading the Word of GOD. After you finish praying, take time to read your Bible so that the Lord can speak to you and empowers you in Him.

Matthew 6:13, “And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”

Jesus taught us to pray that God should not lead us into temptation, meaning that God should not leave us on our own to walk into Satan trap of temptation. I think we should all include this into our daily prayers every morning before we face the day. “LORD JESUS, PLEASE PRESERVE ME FROM TEMPTATION OF THE DEVIL, NO MATTER OUR SMALL. HELP ME TO BE WATCHFUL IN YOUR WORD, AND SENSITIVE TO YOUR HOLY SPIRIT.”

The foundation of this is genuine salvation, if you have not gotten genuine salvation, you cannot overcome temptation. If you have fallen into sin and you are covering it, you can not move on like that and overcome. What you need first is to rededicate your life to Jesus Christ for genuine salvation by repentance, confession and total surrender to Jesus.

Christianity EtcThe Mystery Of Prayer Revealed by FreshGreen(op): 2:28pm On Sep 02, 2014
THE MYSTERIES OF PRAYER REVEALED (1)
I want to share with you from a testimony of someone who was saved, someone who had been serving the devil. And when that man gave his testimony, it so challenged me, I did not want to believe it. I had to go ten days before the Lord in fasting, asking Him, "Lord, is this true?" And it was at that time the Lord began to teach me what happens in the spiritual realm when we pray.

This man was born after his parents dedicated themselves to lucifer. When he was still in the womb, they made so many rituals dedicating him to serve lucifer. When he was four years old, he began to exercise his spiritual power. And his parents began fearing him. When he was six years, his father surrendered him to the witches to go and be trained. And by ten years, he was doing great things in the kingdom of the devil. He was feared by the normal witches.

He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did. He grew up to be a young man in his twenties with so much bloodshed on his hands. Killed at will. He had the ability to go out of his body through transcendental meditation. And he could levitate. Sometimes his body would lift off the ground and stay in the air. And sometimes he could go into a trance, and come out of his body; his body would remain behind, and he would go out into the world, this is called astro-travelling. And this guy was used by satan to destroy so many churches, to break down so many churches and to destroy so many pastors.

One night, I (John Mulinde) went to a dinner. The sole reason I went is that someone told me about this young man, and I was so curious to see him, and see if his story was true. So I sat at that dinner and in the evening, this man was given the chance to give his testimony. He talked about so many things. Sometimes he cried because of the things he did. As he finished, he made an appeal.

There were many pastors in that room. And he said, "I appeal to you, pastors. Please teach the people how to pray." The people who don't pray, can be taken in anything, in anything by the devil, and there are ways that the enemy exploits their lives and their prayers. The enemy knows even how to exploit their prayers of those people who don't know how to pray. "Teach the people how to use the spiritual armor that God provides."

Then he shared how he lead expositions into the air. He would go with other satanic agents and lots of demon spirits into the air. It was like a shift, you've got to go and work your shift. So regularly he had a time he had to go and wage war in the heavenlies. And he said that in the heavenlies, in the spiritual realm, if the land is covered under the blanket of darkness, that blanket is so thick, it is like a rock. And it covers the whole area. And these spirits are able to go on top of this as well as below this blanket. And from that level, they influence the events on earth.

When the evil spirits and human satanic agents leave their shifts, they go down on earth at the points of covenant, even waters or on the land at the points of covenant for refreshing of their spirit. And how do they refresh their spirit? By the sacrifices that people give at these altars. They could be sacrifices in open witchcraft, sacrifices in bloodshed of all types including abortion, including warfare and human sacrifices and animal sacrifices. They could be sacrifices of sexual immorality where people go into sexual perversions and all kinds of promiscuity. And that act services the strength of these powers. And many are the different types of sacrifices.

THREE FORMS OF PRAYERS
He said that when satanic agents are up in the heavenly realm, and the Christians begin to pray on earth, the prayers of the Christians appear to them in three forms. All prayers appear like smoke that is rising up into the heavens.

Some prayers appear like smoke, and it goes drifting along and disappear in the air. These prayers come from people who have sin in their lives and they are not willing to deal with it. Their prayers are so weak, they are blown away and disappear in the air.

The other type of prayer is also like smoke that rises up until it reaches this rock, but it does not break through the rock. These are usually people who try to purify themselves, but they lack the faith in what they are doing as they pray. They usually ignore the other important aspects that are needed when someone prays.
The third type of prayer is like smoke that is filled with fire. As it rises up, it is so hot that when it reaches the rock, the rock begins to melt like wax. It pierces the rock and goes through.

Many times, as people begin to pray, their prayers look like the first type, but as they continue praying, their prayers change and become like the second prayer. And as they continue praying, suddenly it ignites into fire. And their prayers become so powerful, they pierce through the rock.

Many times evil agents would notice that prayers were changing and coming very close to the state of fire, then these agents would communicate to other spirits on earth and they tell them, "Distract that person from prayer. Stop them praying. Pull them out."

Many times Christians yield to these distractions. They are pressing through, they are repenting, they are allowing the Word to check their spirit up, Faith has been building up. Their prayers are becoming more focused. Then the devil sees their prayers are gaining strength and the distractions begin. Telephones ring. Sometimes we, in the middle of very, very intense prayer, the telephone rings and you think you can go to answer the phone and then come back and continue praying. When you come back, you go back to the beginning. And that's what the devil wants.

Other kinds of distractions come your way, even if it means touching your body and bringing some pain somewhere. Even if it means making you hungry and you want to go to the kitchen and fix something to eat. As long as they can get you out of that place, they have defeated you. And he will say to the pastors, "Teach people. Set aside some time. Not for just some casual kind of praying. They can do that the rest of the day. Once in a day, they should have a time when they are focusing wholeheartedly on God, nothing distracting them.

And if people persist in this kind of prayer and allow themselves to be inspired in the spirit and keep going and keep going, something happens in the spirit. The fire touches that rock, and it melts. And this man said, when the melting begins, it is so hot, no demon spirit can stand it. No human spirit can stand it. They all flee. They all run away. .....Continues in Part 2.

UNDERSTANDING!
Prayer is very important in Christian life, but much as prayer is essential, praying without purity of genuine salvation is a waste of time. The Bible says, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:12-13.

To overcome the powers of darkness, what you need first is not prayer or fasting, it is not special prayer of special men of God, it is not anointing oil, but genuine salvation and purity of life. Prayer without salvation of soul and purity of life is a waste of time, it cannot pass the stronghold of darkness.

Salvation of soul and sanctification of life strengthen prayer and the person who prays. Let your prayer centers more on your spiritual growth and making heaven, because the primary reason Satan is your enemy is because he doesn't want you to make heaven. Satan can allow you to get wealth, riches and everything of this life, but he doesn't want you to get eternal life. It's a grave ignorance with many Christians, pastors and churches of today whose prayers center majorly on earthly blessings and problems. But you must be wise to war against every force that wars against your onward journey to heaven.

Make it a must to pray every day and read your Bible. You can start by separating 1 hour for prayer daily and 30 minutes for Bible reading,and then you grow from there. Do Praise & Worship for the first 30 mins, spend 15mins on your spiritual life, and the remaining 15mins for others needs and people.

Christianity EtcHow Many Christians Are Rushing To Hell With 911 Buses - Elisabeth, Italy by FreshGreen(op): 8:40am On Sep 01, 2014
HOW PEOPLE (BELIEVERS) ARE GOING TO HELL FIRE WITH 911 BUSES - Elizabeth, Italy.

My revelation goes like this:- The Angel of the living God came to me and said, let us visit a place and suddenly we appeared in an office where we saw four men in the office and they were talking but I was not hearing what they were saying and they also did not see I and the Angel so, the Angel introduced the men like this (the G.O from the head quarter, the pastor of a branch and the other two pastors accusing the branch pastor) then, the Angel said these are the things that are happening in the churches, that when the Lord of the church comes in or when He send His Angels to the church, the people don't see or recognize His presence because they are busy fighting for positions, too occupied with the things of the world and the Lord or His Angel will take their leave.

Then the Angel said lets go and we went down the stairs,immediately, we appeared in a street here in Europe and immediately, we appeared in a busy road in Lagos Nigeria called (IKORODU ROAD) and we both stood in the middle (opposite Obanikoro bus stop) watching vehicles coming from Surulere and heading towards Maryland and there were these five 911 buses which came one after the other and in front of each bus, was written in capital letter DESTINATION (HELL FIRE very bold), by the side of the bus was this Bible verse Matt. 7:13 "Broad way leads to destruction"

When the first bus came, it was already filled with passengers from where it was coming from (each bus has two conductors) but the two conductors were still calling passengers and people were fighting to enter into the bus (they spoke with different languages) , the people entered through the two entrance doors of the bus, through the windows and some climbed the bonnet and entered through the wind screen; now let me describe the demons:- the one driving the bus has many hands with one he cleanse the side mirror, with one he adjust the side mirror, with one he cleanse the wind screen and with two, he was holding the steering he was ready to move and with one he was holding the gear, his eye balls were reddish.

One of the demon conductor has camel skin and was having dread on his head; the second demon was very black has the structure of a frog and they were both calling passengers like this:- hell fire! hell fire!! hell fire!!! the Rapture is about to take place, the Son of the Most High God is about to come, there is no time on our side hell hell! hell!! hell fire!!!! ( these was what the demons were shouting of at each 911 bus that came and as people were entering, these demons were mocking them and laughing this kind of mockery laugh)

But when the third bus came, it was filled with women, some were carrying loads on their heads, some on their backs, some were carrying bags, even some of them lapped themselves and only four men entered into the bus, among these four men was the two pastors we saw in the office of a church that was reporting the branch pastor so when these pastors met us were I and the Angel was standing, I told them to see how people are entering those buses with the bold writing DESTINATION:- HELL FIRE but before I could finish speaking, the two of them crossed the road and the older man entered through the window while the young man followed those one entering through the wind screen, I was calling them but the older one told me that they can't wait; that they would rather enter this bus which they have seen than to wait for the ones to come later.

Then I heard people calling my name from the sky that I should not cross the road and they said that there were you are (which is here on earth) is where we attached importance to positions like REV., BISHOP, PASTOR,EVANGELIST e.t.c but there (in Heaven) where they are, there is nothing like that because everybody is call brother or sister so it was then I realized that my feet were glued to where I was standing and I said to them I can't even move my feet from here. When these buses come, it will enlarge itself to enable it contains more passengers.

Now, when the fourth bus came, the Angel told me to call the attention of one of the conductors and I beckoned to the one at the back of the bus so he give me his attention but did not leave were he was but we could communicate and I asked him why were they calling passengers into the bus then he spoke like this:- Satan the devil our master asked us to bring more souls to hell and that there is no time on our side because the Rapture is about to take place and the Son of the Most High God is about to come.

Let me describe the demon that I spoke with:- he has frog structure very big almost the height of the 911 bus, has green eye balls, his teeth were sharp and rusted like old nails also, the teeth were stained with blood so when he finished talking with me he laughed this kind of mockery laugh and continued to call passengers into the bus.

Now when the fifth bus came, the Angel called my name and asked if I know the people that was entering those buses then I answered and said, no sir then I asked him who are they? then he said that these are believers who because of one! one!! sin are entering these buses (sins like:- unforgiveness, pride, arrogant, lies, hatred, anger, gossip, unloving, strive e.t.c) he also said that in the Gospel of Mark chapter 16 he did not mention any verse that those who did not accept our Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are already condemned he also said that in 2 Timothy 2:24-26 that, the servant of the living God must not be quarrelsome; he then stretched out his right hand and asked can't you see them quarreling and fighting among themselves?, he said again the servant of the living God must be gentle, have self-control and he asked again, are they gentle or do they have self- control? he then said to me write it down and share it with your brethren.

God bless as you have read. Do you know Hell was originally created for Satan and his agents, but they are drawing and deceiving many to go there with they. Please do not go hell, do not wait in sin until you land in hell. You need to surrender all to Jesus Christ and your name be written in the Book of Life. All you need to do is to repent, confess and start a new life in Jesus Christ.

Also if you have given your life to Jesus in the past, there is need for you to rededicate your life in self examination and reconsecration.

Christianity EtcLiving Together As Brethren In The Church by FreshGreen(op): 7:32pm On Aug 31, 2014
LIVING AS BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH
Psalm 133:1, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!”

There is nothing more pleasant in this world than to be among the brethren living together in unity, it is like a heaven on earth. There is no other thing on earth as splendid as paradise like brethren living together in unity. That was the reason the Psalmist made an exclamation, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” what a glorious atmosphere!

To live as brethren in the church does not means that Christians should be living together under single roof, it does not means attending the same denominational church; living as brethren goes beyond attending the same church, it is deeper and greater.

From this topic of living as brethren in the church, there three important words: church, brethren and living. Let’s check them one after the other.

CHURCH
Acts 2:47, “Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

Church is a gathering of the regenerated saved people, this is the biblical church; it is not a building, it is not a denomination, and it is not a gathering of sinners. Church involves people who have been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ, whose sins have been pardoned, who are genuinely saved. Only the saved make a church and only those are being saved are joined to the church, “And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

The modern system of “Let the sinners join the church and let them become saved gradually” is the deception of the devil to pollute and pervert the church. To incorporate the unsaved into the system of the church is an evidence of misled leadership.

BRETHREN
Brethren mean brothers and sisters from different communities, countries, and of different culture and color coming and living together as one; with stronger tie of heavenly Father than biological family. Brethren are not just people in the same denomination but people in the Lord who have experienced the same salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

LIVING – AS BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH
This is the main topic, how can we live together as brethren in the church? Before we can live as brethren in the church, there must be salvation, sharing and sanctification:

Salvation: this is the beginning of the church and brethren; a church without the foundation of genuine salvation in Christ is a satanic manipulated church, and if there are brethren without genuine salvation, then they are “so called” brethren. The primary purpose of a Bible church is to lead people to salvation, the greatest focus and ambition of a Bible church is the salvation of the souls, the primary preaching and prayer of a Bible church is salvation of souls. Romans 10:1, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.” The greatest achievement of a church is not having great numbers of people, it is not building a muilti-million auditorium, but it is leading souls to Christ.

A church whose priority and primary preaching and prayer is to lead people to prosperity, blessings, healing or deliverance is a misled church and cannot produce brethren in the Lord but church goers, and so there is no way they can live together as brethren. Many denominational churches long to see their church members, workers and leaders living together as brethren, but this cannot be possible when there is no genuine salvation. Why we have fake brethren and funny incidents happening in the church today is because there is no genuine salvation as the foundation of our coming together. Anything that brings people together in the church apart from the genuine salvation of their souls cannot sustain them to live together as brethren.

To live together as brethren in the church means to live in love and unity, and there is no other means these can happen except we are truly regenerated. Goats and sheep cannot live together in love and unity, so also saints and added sinners or saved leaders and unsaved members or workers cannot live together as brethren, they can only bear one another with endurance, but not being brethren. So the first thing we need to set as foundation is genuine salvation.

Sharing
After we are saved in Christ Jesus, we are to live in love, this is the only means by which we can live together as brothers and sisters; and the first and greatest means to live in love as brethren is by sharing. Without sharing, living together as brethren is fake, in fact there cannot even be anything like real brethren without sharing.

If we truly care to live together as brethren in the church today, then we need to look back and see how the early Christians, church lived as brethren in the Bible. The first church successfully lived together in their thousands as brethren.

Acts 4:32-35
“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.”

Without sharing together, our professed love is fake, or how can you call me brother and you don’t care to share with me from the little you have. When we call ourselves brethren without sharing, we make ourselves liars. 1 John 3:16-18, “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”

The evidence of genuine love among brethren is sharing. You can share without being among the brethren, but you cannot have genuine brethren without sharing.

The Bible says, “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:16. What it means is that if truly we have brethren and if truly we are part of the brethren, then we must sacrifice for the brethren by sharing. Some sharings are easy and some are hard, both must be made, it is sacrifice.

For the saved people to live together as brethren in the church, the leaders must show examples of sharing, the leaders in the church from the pastors to the workers must lay down their conveniences and comfort for the lives of brethren. A pastor who cares for buying a car or building house than meeting the basic needs of the church members is a bad example among the brethren. A pastor or leader who cannot sell his properties to help meet the urgent needs of brethren is a fake leader. Being a leader or pastor is not just by the position on the church but by laying down one’s life for the members of the brethren.

Without sharing, there cannot be love and we cannot live together as brethren.

Another secret of sharing together is the power of revival. A church that lacks sharing among brethren can never experience great move of the power of God, no matter how long they pray, preach and fast. The Bible recorded that great power and grace followed the apostles after sharing with the brethren. “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” Acts 4:33.

You cannot experience the great power and grace of God if you are selfish and self-centred without affectionate care for others; you can never experience the great power of God in your church without sharing among the brethren. When a church does not share materials, meat, and financial aids to meet needs in the church, people cannot live together as brethren in that same church. Sharing together brings and binds children of God together as brethren.

SANCTIFICATION
In order to keep our salvation in Christ secured and our love for one another perfect and pure, we must grow into sanctification. Sanctification is becoming like Jesus every day and abstaining from impurity. Sanctification keeps the love among brethren to be pure.

Here is explanation of sanctification among the brethren as written in Ephesians 4:21-32:

“If indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,”for we are members of one another. 26 “Be angry, and do not sin” do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

CONCLUSION
Living as brethren in the church is the best life we can live on earth which is brought to us by Jesus Christ. The beginning of living as brethren is genuine salvation through faith, repentance and confession of our sins and new life in Jesus Christ; the center of living together as brethren in the church is real love through sharing among one another, and the continuity of living together as brethren is sanctification, keep ourselves and love pure from being polluted.

Psalm 133
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.

Christianity EtcBringing Out The Best In Your Spouse by FreshGreen(op): 11:11am On Aug 30, 2014
Bringing Out the Best in Your Spouse
God uses marriage to complete and “perfect” a man and wife.
By James Ford

I will never forget what transpired between a former associate pastor and his wife. Sister Davis would approach Brother Davis at the end of Sunday service with her hands on her hips and attitude written all over her face. Just like a well-memorized script, she would say, “Davis, let’s go, boy. I’m hungry!” Immediately, he would snap back at her, “Wait until I get through with my conversation!”

Sister Davis would then respond, “Look, boy. We’ve been here since 8:00 a.m. and after three services, I’m hungry. Wrap that conversation up so we can go.” It would make her just that much angrier when he would coolly respond, “I said, ‘we’ll go when I finish talking with my pastor and these brothers.’”

Just as a reminder to him, she would stomp away and sulk within visible distance. This scenario was repeated virtually every Sunday for several years. After a while, when I just couldn’t take it any longer, I called her one Sunday evening and the following conversation ensued.

“Sister Davis, this is Pastor Ford.”
“Hello, Pastor.”
“How are you this fine Sunday evening?”

“Well, to be honest, Pastor, I’m trying to recover from my ordeal with my husband. He knows we’re at church nearly six hours every Sunday and sometimes we haven’t even had breakfast. Yet, after the services have ended, he has to stand around running his mouth with the fellas. Every Sunday I tell him not to do that but every Sunday it’s the same thing. The worst part is that we fuss and argue from the time we leave the parking lot, we eat our meal in silence, and then we go to bed sleeping back to back.”

“Sister Davis, I’d like to help you change all of that, if you’ll let me.”
“Of course, I will let you, Pastor. Just tell him to start being more sensitive to me on Sundays and maybe that will do it.”
“I don’t believe that’s the answer, Sister Davis.”
“Well, what is it, Pastor?”
“You know, the Bible teaches that a man needs respect. Right?”
“Yes, I know that it does.”
“Well, do you think he feels respected when you approach him while he is talking to other men, commanding him with your hands on your hips and calling him boy?”
“Now, Pastor, we call each other boy and girl on a regular basis. And—“

“Wait, please hear me out before you go on the defensive. Let me suggest that next Sunday, instead of taking your usual stance, try this instead: Don’t approach him like you’re angry. Walk up to him and say, ‘Excuse me, gentlemen.’ Then say, ‘Sweetheart, may I speak to you in private for a moment?’ When he says okay, put your arms around his waist, look into his eyes, and softly say, ‘Baby, I’m hungry. Let’s leave and get something to eat, please.’”

On the following Sunday evening, I was well into my after-hours worship services ritual, meaning I was allowing the TV to watch me. Then, my wife woke me up with an apology. She said, “Honey, I apologize for waking you up, but Sister Davis is on the phone. I told her that I didn’t want to wake you but she said that it was urgent.”

I answered the phone only to hear the very enthusiastic voice of Sister Davis exclaiming, “Oh, Pastor, I’m sorry for having Sister Leslie wake you up, but I had to let you know that I did exactly what you instructed me to. And I must say that we had the best Sunday we’ve had in years. When I said what you suggested, he said, ‘Okay, Baby.’ Then he turned to the brothers and told them he would talk with them later. He said, ‘I have to take my honey out to eat.’”

“Pastor, we had a very pleasant conversation on the way to dinner. We also had a great conversation over dinner. Then, we went home and did something on a Sunday evening that hadn’t happened in many years. So just had to tell you how much I appreciate your showing me how to be a better wife to my husband.”

I laugh about this incident every time I think about it. Now, this story could have been a reverse situation where the husband needed some advice on how to treat his wife. But the reality is that it reinforces one of God’s reasons for creating marriage—the “perfecting” reason.

Completing each other
Did you know that as a married couple you and your mate are supposed to bring out the best qualities in each other? One of the main reasons why God created marriage was to create a spiritual reception between the husband and wife to prepare them for just that purpose. In fact, I call it the perfecting reason.

The way in which God brought together the first two individuals was so that they would accept each other in their respective roles. In Adam’s acceptance of Eve as his counterpart he fulfilled God’s design for the man’s role in marriage. Adam was now complete in every sense of his being.

The same is true of Eve’s existence. The moment God created her out of the man and joined her together with her counterpart, Eve’s total makeup as a woman was complete. The couple graciously received their individual parts and the two became one flesh just as the three members of the Trinity are one God.

Together, the man and woman became a fulfillment of God’s desire for them to complete each other in matrimony. But what does it really mean for one person to complete another? And how do we recognize it when we think in terms of a marriage relationship? At first glance, two people “completing” each other sounds like the sugary words from the lyrics of an old love song. But it goes much deeper than that. It is a God-inspired idea.

When a man and woman complete each other it means they are positioned to enrich each other’s lives. And that is what the perfecting reason for marriage is all about. To “perfect” something or someone means to make it or them better. God set this pattern so that what takes place in a marriage union is that the husband and wife receive each other in a physical and spiritual way. It is how He intends for us to perfect each other.

Building each other up
In a spiritual sense, Adam was an incomplete being before God created Eve. He was physically intact but something was missing from his life. He did not have everything that he needed to match the blueprint God had drawn up for the human family that He was planning to live on earth. So, God caused Adam to sleep and took a piece of his rib to create Eve.

Now, Adam was half the man he used to be because a physical part of him was taken away. But God used that same part to create Eve. In His wisdom, this was all part of His plan to form a partnership so that the individual partners would not just coexist but they would actually complete each other.

Moreover, God gave the man and woman the ability to better each other’s experience on earth. This is a lifelong process; it doesn’t happen overnight. When you think about your own relationship, you will most likely agree that there is always room for improvement.

Well, just as He did for the first couple, God made preparations for you and your spouse to develop and improve your relationship over time. Even the little things that you do when you treat each other with kindness such as anticipating her needs, rubbing his tired feet, and sending flowers for no apparent reason. These are things that build each other up.

Brother and Sister Davis were doing just the opposite by being on a destructive path of tearing each other down. It only took a simple suggestion to help them turn their situation around. When Sister Davis acted on it, they both got the benefit.

The same applies to you and your spouse. You can only reach the kind of perfection God wants for you by showing love toward one another. This is what Sister Davis realized when she took my advice. When she began to approach her husband in a positive way, then he was able to respond favorably to her. The change in behavior that she adopted proved successful to get both of them results they were pleased with.

That change took their attention away from their negativity and shined the spotlight on their love. That’s what God is talking about.

Christianity EtcWhy Many Christians Will Miss The Rapture by FreshGreen(op): 3:31pm On Aug 29, 2014
WHY MANY CHRISTIANS WILL MISS THE RAPTURE!
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24

Since Rapture will not happen twice, but once, wise Christians will do more to focus and strive to be counted worthy. Why will many miss the rapture even after they are born again and serving God? Here are 7 common reasons in which any of them can hold back a Born again Christian:

(1) UNDONE RESTITUTION Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved, there may be some wrongs of the past that need to be corrected in your present new life in Jesus. Restitution includes restoring things wrongly acquired, revealing lies and deceptions and reconciling with people we offended, and also forgiving with all our hearts people who offended us, no matter how terrible. Forgiveness from the heart is part of restitution and many Christians, ministers of God will miss rapture and heaven just because of un-forgiveness and bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.

UNPAID & INESSENTIAL DEBT, when you have the power to pay but postponing or does not want to pay, this can hinder Christians from being raptured or entering heaven. And a serious minded Christian will be wary of unnecessary debts of buying inessential stuffs in credit.

(2) JUST A LITTLE SIN Galatians 5:9
Many will miss rapture and entrance to heaven not because they are not born again and serving God, not because they are committing serious sins, but just because of a little, besetting sin, just little but too heavy to hold people down from making rapture. Can you imagine that wearing tight clothes, tops that show a woman's cleavage or transparent clothes would hinder so many godly sisters from making the rapture? When the Holy Spirit calls your attention to the little sin, you excuse yourself that it doesn’t matter, everybody is doing it or it is your own weakness since everybody has a weakness. It may be little anger, envy, jealousy, even in the work of God. Little, little lies, using people’s or your office’s materials for your personal purpose without taking permission. You think it doesn’t matter? It does. Let’s repent NOW. Common sins will commonly hinder common Christians and ministers back.

(3) LITTLE WORLDLINESS 1 John 2:16
Little worldliness will hinder so many Christians from making the rapture. This little worldliness does not matter to many Christians and churches today. The worldly music which you call normal, worldly movies, magazines (fashion, entertainment or pornography), TV programs inspired by Satan (American Idol, African Idols, Big Brother Africa, MTN Project Fame, Gulder Ultimate Search, Dance shows, African magic, animated cartoon, etc. ) Also worldly dress (wearing tops, blouses that show the trace of your breasts as a woman or that reveals your back, tight, transparent or shot dress) Many Christian women are tapped by Satan with worldly dress unknowingly but they will know after the rapture. Those who have died have gotten to know already but too late.

(4) OVER CONFIDENCE 1 Corinthians 10:12
Over-confidence will hinder many believers from entering heaven. You see the shortcoming of others without seeing yours, without daily searching your life with the Word of God and prayer for forgiveness and daily sanctification. This category of people believe they can never make mistake after they are saved, they believe they are once and entirely sanctified and no need for daily prayer for cleansing and sanctification, they are bound in bountiful hypocrisy which is one of the most terrible sins- hypocrisy. Believing that you can’t make mistake after you are saved is a serious mistake. Tenderness and watchfulness serve better.

(5) UNCONFESSED SIN 1 Timothy 5:24
Unconfessed sin remains a secret sin. You did something wrong and you realize it and confessed to God but concealed it from people, you refuse to confess to necessary partners or people even after the Holy Spirit has ministered to you to expose it, you are listening to the wrong preachers and your wrong motive and defending yourself that you have confessed to God so that should settle it. This will block many ears from hearing the sound of the Trumpet of rapture. Please, you must confess to one another, James 5:16, as the case may be, why will you miss rapture just because of this little shortcoming?

(6) LITTLE COMPROMISE 1 Corinthians 5:6
Little compromise at workplace, in your business, to get contract, job or promotion; little compromise to get your documents and papers - being smart. Little compromise in examination hall, in marital relationship or in your tithes and offerings; these little, little, overlooked stuffs will hold and hinder many Believers and Ministers from making heaven. If you are careful, the compromise of your society, of your church and idolized Pastors will not infect and affect you.

(7) LACK OF LOVE 1 John 4:8
Do you think it’s possible to make heaven without love? And does your life shows the love of Christ? Please read 1 Corinthians 13:1-8. Most churches and Christians lack love. Love is kindness and expresses goodness to all men, especially brethren, it helps and shares. The syndrome of “sowing” into the lives of big pastors, the several church projects and personal projects have blinded many Christians from loving and helping people around them.

Purity without love is hypocrisy, love without purity is lust, but real purity means PURE LOVE. Christian life without love is hypocrisy.

Please, we should all search our lives with the light of God’s Word, let’s repent now and confess and correct everything as the Holy Spirit calls our attention. Irrespective of our spiritual attainments and positions, God is not a respecter of any man. As long you still see yourself as a little child in God’s hand, you must be humble and careful enough to look into your life. Let’s ask God to sanctify us, and let’s also be more watchful from now, be more vigilant and prayerful everyday as we ask for God’s grace and mercy to be counted worthy, we all need these, we are all striving and no man is a superman, until we get to heaven. May God help us and see us through to the end in Jesus name.

Rapture will happen once and any time from now. If you want to rededicate your life to Jesus or need further counsel on any of these points, please feel free to contact the address below. That we are still alive now, is a great privilege, let’s make use of it NOW!

1 Peter 4:7,“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”

Where will you be after the rapture?

Christianity EtcA Vision Of Rapture by FreshGreen(op): 11:57am On Aug 28, 2014
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?

Christianity EtcAnd Who Is A Harlot? by FreshGreen(op): 8:02am On Aug 27, 2014
AND WHO IS A HARLOT? If you are a Christian, 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."

Christianity EtcWhat I Saw When I Died by FreshGreen(op): 9:13am On Aug 26, 2014
.....I had an accident in which I died. As death came over me, I felt everything become dark. I found myself walking through a dark tunnel, and some kind of being was taking me. While we walked in this cold and dark tunnel, I began to hear horrific screams and moans, and an intense fear was growing inside of me. I knew that, although my body was already dead, I was somehow still alive in this place.

I saw large snakes moving all around, and all the people were crying out for water. Soon we arrived at an open plateau, which had many chambers and divisions, each contained different people inside. I began to cry out with terror, begging God for mercy. "Lord, remember my life! Have mercy!" Sheer terror was gripping my soul, and my whole life was passing before my eyes. As we approached some door, I shouted again, "Have mercy on me my Lord; have mercy on me! I beg you to help me! Help me Lord!!"

We then went to a place where I saw a woman was sitting in a rocking chair. There were still terrifying moans coming from all over that place. At first, she seemed ok, but then her body transformed into a witch, and she screamed in agony, burning in flames. She begged for mercy, but the Lord said to me "The wages of sin is death, and those who arrive in this place will never get out again." (Romans 6:23)

The Lord showed me many disobedient people, many who were once part of a Christian Church. They were crying out and begging for mercy, but there was no mercy. Mercy could only be found while a person is still alive on Earth. Once people are dead, mercy cannot be reached anymore, as it says, "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27)

Jesus also showed me a place with some kind of boiling oil, and there were people suffering inside, burning in flames and trying to get out. But demons would throw them back in.

We walked until we came to a place with people that had once listened to the word of God, but never wanted to repent.

I also saw a missionary in Hell. He was there because he asked for money to open a mission in Africa, but he kept half the money for himself. Now he begs for mercy and another chance to return the money that wasn’t his. When he saw that Jesus could not help him, he cursed Jesus.

I saw people that were once inside the church praising God. Now they only cry out for mercy for their un-repented sins, they lost their chance to repent after they died. I saw pastors there who robbed tithes and offerings from their churches. They also begged to undo all their bad works, but there was no more chance.

Those who die without Jesus Christ go to hell, and those who die with Jesus Christ go to Heaven. Many people believe that dying is just stopping this existence. (Annihilationism) But at death, your real life begins, either in God’s Glory or in everlasting condemnation and shame. (Daniel 12:2) You are making that choice right now. We must all carefully meditate on where we will spend eternity. Do you want to spend eternity in Hell or in God’s glory? It’s your choice.

The Road to Hell
The Lord said, "Look at this wide street." I saw a street where a multitude of believers were walking, and they were even carrying bibles. I saw some praying and others were singing praises.

Many Christians have some hatred or bitterness in their heart toward their brothers; and may even skip church because of that brother. But when the pastor asks the church, “How many of you love the Lord?” They say "Amen!" But the Bible says that those who hate their brothers are like murders, and no murder can come in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is written, anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Matt 5:22) These brothers will deeply regret that when the Lord returns.

The Bible tells us, Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:17-18) It’s so sad when those serve the Lord, don't make it into Heaven. You need to seriously meditate on this and ask, “Am I ready for the Lord? Am I really doing the will of God? Is my life pleasing to God?” You still have time to turn your heart to God and escape Hell.

Some people don’t care about where they are going, they only want to enjoy this life. But I tell you, spending time with Jesus, not some woman is enjoying life. Spending time in the Lord's house, not a bar, that’s life. We need to ask God for Mercy for those who are still waking on the road of death and sin.

In Hell, we saw many who thought they were living holy while on Earth, but now they were just begging for mercy and another chance. My soul ached so much for them. We saw a woman who was acting like she was reading the Word of God, and preaching about John 3:16. She said: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus said she was there "Because she could never forgive her husband; she never managed to forgive her husband." (Matt 6:14-15) This woman had been shepherding an evangelical church for 35 years, but now in Hell, she is begging for one more chance to forgive her husband.

The bible warns us, settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. (Matt. 5:25) and Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matt. 5:7)

Forgiveness is something special, and that woman never forgave. After 35 years of hard work for God, she lost it all in the end. Meditate on this, and make sure you forgive all. How do you want to spend eternity?

Lying to God
It might sound crazy, but many Christians wind up in Hell because of lying. Christians often just nonchalantly lie in Church, and think nothing of it. The pastor may ask them a question, and a member just lies to them. But we must remember that a simple lie is what caused God to kill Ananias and Sapphira while in Church. (Acts 5:3-10)

If you're a lukewarm Christian, backsliding, or living a double life, bow you head right now before God, and beg for forgiveness, be willing to turn away from evil deeds. If you don't know Jesus, pray now, and ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him into your heart, accept Him as your savior.

Many of us stand before the altar of God full of pride and vainglory. Many, who sing praises to God, begin to be full of pride. Many of God's servants who preach the word, and are used mightily by God, begin to think that they are overly important? Many people who work in deliverance also get full of pride? I want to tell you that God see all, and knows your heart.

We continued walking until we arrived at some a kind of waiting room. We saw a demon that was shouting, and other demons were presenting themselves before him. Two of them were in the form of beautiful women. Their job was to destroy ministries, and lead ministers into sin. Those who serve the Lord, must be careful of satan’s traps. satan wants to destroy your life, and he can use those people who are close to you, those who do not walk close to Jesus. They can be instruments of satan.

satan also has demons that are disguised as men. They go into churches in search for young ladies and even married women, to lead them into sin, destroying marriages and lives.

Children in Hell
Even today, I still feel pain and terror in my soul when I remember that there are even young children in Hell. I saw some between the ages of 12 and 14 years old. They also regret many things they did while on earth. Many Christians ignorantly say that children can never be lost, because they are so young. But I tell you, if a child can distinguish between good and evil, and they are not walking in the ways of the Lord, they also can arrive in that place of torment. (Prov. 22:6)

In the bible it says "I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” (Rev. 20:12) All persons that can comprehend between good and evil will have to stand before the Lord; nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Lord.

We continued walking until we came to a place that was similar to stadium. There were demons there laughing at lost souls. They were mocking them, and tormenting those who were made in God's image.
The people there desperately thirst for water, but there is none. They regret even the day they were born. But the worst feeling is for those who knew Jesus, but then walked away from Him. If you have walked away from Jesus, if you no longer follow His ways, today is the day to come back! Don't be ashamed of what your friends or anyone else may say.

You must know that just because you claim to be a Christian, you can still be unclean before God, if you keep sinning. I was personally being used by God, but still had vainglory in my heart. (Matt 7:21-23) There is still time to repent and renew your heart and mind.

If you're a lukewarm Christian, backsliding, or living a double life, bow you head right now before God, and beg for forgiveness, be willing to turn away from evil deeds. If you don't know Jesus, pray now, and ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him into your heart, accept Him as your Lord.

It is time for you to run to the presence of God; and look for salvation. Do not look for a church that makes you feel good; look for a church where the Spirit of the Lord moves and repent of all your sins! It is time for deep repentance; time to cry out to the Lord and run to Jesus. If you have sins that you haven't stopped, your soul is in DANGER, because the Bible says that Jesus will come as a thief in the night, (1 Thess. 5:2) Are you ready or not?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My dear friend, why will you go to hell because of the pursuit of this world? Because of the pressure of this world? Because of position of this world? Because of popularity, ego, fame or possession of this world? Do you want to play so stupid and fooled by Satan that you will live how many years on earth and spend more than 1 billion years in torment of demons and forever? You don't want to face the shame of men but you are ready to face the shame of demons? You dont want human, temporal pain but you are ready to suffer demonic and eternal pain?

Because of money? What do you want to will you gain in this life that you will loose your soul forever and ever and ever and ever, never to see light, never to see joy, peace, ever thirsty and never get a drop of water, urine or sweat to drink? And you want to be that stupid because of this present passing world? WHAT WILL JUSTIFY YOUR GOING TO HELL? YOU URGENTLY NEED TO TOTALLY SURRENDER ALL TO JESUS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Dear Christian, you have the knowledge of God, but where are you standing? You are a Christian and sinner at the same time, you are God fearing and ungodly at the same time, you are up and down, hot and cold Christian and worldly. You think those things do not matter? Satan is telling to bother less about your eternity, that "it is by God's mercy, so till then" Don't you know that you need to settle and surrender all now? You want to cover the sin, postpone the restitution, keeping doing that because your pastor does not against it? You dont want to face the shame? You need to be wise and surrender before Satan will waste in hell after all your knowledge and serving God!

Beloved, you have experienced salvation and serving God, but that little stain of unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, hated, care of this world, that little lie, anger, etc will now take you to hell after all your spiritual experiences and service to God? Will you be that fool?

Let's settle all now before it is too late. People are dying everyday without notice, Some people were on facebook last month, read our messages, but rejected, postponed and died. Now, no single second for a second chance. Will you allow that to happen to you? Rapture can happen any second from now and what will be your portion? Why now settle everything now?

Christianity EtcQuestion And Answer On Motivational Speaker In The Ministry by FreshGreen(op): 9:25am On Aug 25, 2014
QUESTION & ANSWER ON FUNDING MINISTRY AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS

QUESTION: RTEM, pls I nid ans 2dis quest. Hw did Jesus generate funds 4 his ministry? and apart frm dt, d motivational speakers, they also demand money as dey use d gospel of Christ in der motivational speeches. wot do u tink abt dis coz most of dem take it as a career rather dan as a callin or ministry?
- Awoyemi, Nigeria.

ANSWER: Jesus was supported by close women and men who were transformed by His teachings, and by miraculous provision from God. These two means are available for every genuine minister of God. Motivational speakers are agents of Satan in the ministry today, they are not serving Jesus Christ. There is no such ministry in the Bible. Those people motivate people in sin for physical success and for money making, you hardly hear motivational speakers maybe in their books or preaching promoting holiness of life. Any minister, pastor, bishop, prophet, G.O in America, Africa, Asia or Europe who claims to be a motivational speaker is serving Satan not Jesus Christ.

The history of motivational speakers started in 1950s by Normal Vincent Peale in US who was anointed by Satan to pollute Christianity, another topic for another day. But you can search it yourself the origin and motive behind motivational speakers and their mega churches. They all have same lifestyle - luxury, private jets, etc.; their primary purpose in their preaching and prayers - prosperity and little or nothing about purity of life; their mind focus - earthly, earthly and earthly.

My advice for you is to run away from motivational speakers and their churches, they are the false teachers of the end time.

1 Timothy 6:5, " 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."

Christianity EtcIs Mastubation A Sin? by FreshGreen(op): 9:40am On Aug 23, 2014
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, eve,ryday 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.

Christianity EtcTime Is Fast Running Out - 2 by FreshGreen(op): 1:17pm On Aug 22, 2014
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.

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

Christianity EtcHow God Showed Me The Vision Of Rapture And Hell 2 by FreshGreen(op): 10:22am On Aug 21, 2014
HOW GOD SHOWED ME THE VISION OF RAPTURE & HELL (Part II)

When I looked at the people who were going up with the Lord, they were very calm, at peace and full of joy.

When I looked down at the people in destruction, I was surprised because some of them are supposed to be the people of God that I know (they are still alive). They were crying out in agony and pain. Yet the Lord said there was nothing He could do except they repent. At this point I had questions in my mind. Then the Lord told me to ask questions.

Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with You?
A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their destination?
A. They are going down to hell except they repent.
Q. Why are these people in destruction?

1. Hypocrisy – what they are in their mouth is not what they are in their heart.

Matt 15:7-9: “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

2. Submitting to the spirit of paranoid that does not allow them to see sin as God sees it, thus making light what is serious in His sight. This spirit works directly against the Spirit of Truth.
John 16:13-14:
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you”.
Consequently, they are not pure in heart, for only the pure in heart will see God (Matt 5:cool
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14.

MY GOING DOWN INTO HELL
When the Lord told me that the people in destruction are going to hell except they repent, then I asked the Lord “Can I see the place?” He said “Yes, you can see hell because you asked in a right way”.

The Lord said “Come with me” and the next thing I saw is that we were walking together in hell. When we got to hell, the Lord said to me, “This is the place you wanted to see, don’t be afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show you.” The place was very terrible. It was dark and I could hear screams of billions upon billions of people, men and women. Though the place was dark, I could still see because the light of God was shining. His face was shining like the sun in its strength. I saw the flames of fire looking reddish and multitudes of people as though they were swimming in the fire. The people I was allowed to speak to were in their individual pits of fire. These pits of fire are literally billions upon billions! They would try to come out of the pit, but it was as if the fire would melt them. I saw billions upon billions of demons running around. These demons were more or less making mockery of those there.

The Lord said “I will allow you to talk with three men who were top preachers from your country but are now in hell.”These are people I never met or knew on earth. Each of these men introduced himself to me and acknowledged that he deserved to be there in hell.

The first person I talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa (Church of God Mission International).

When I saw his state of suffering in hell, then I asked him some questions.

Q. Why are you here?
A. Covetousness and I was full of self-righteousness while I was on earth. And I deserve to be here.
Q. Are you used to the pains and the suffering?
A. No. The suffering is new every day.
Q. For how long have you been here?
A. Thirteen (13) years
Q. What if I want to come here where you are?
A. If you want to, you are welcome.

While I was talking with him his flesh would melt as if acid was poured on his face. All the time he was talking with me, he was in torment in his own pit of fire.

The next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri (New Life for All). While he was looking at me, he was screaming in his own pit of fire. As he would try to talk, fire would come from his mouth melting his throat. Then the throat came back again and he was able to talk with me. As he was talking there was fire burning even inside his head and he was in real torment.

Q. Why are you here?
A. My works brought me here
Q. What works?
A. Guile (deceit, hypocrisy, falsehood)
Q. But I was touched by some of your messages I have listened to, yet you are here. Is your message that we are listening to also going to bring us here?
A. No
Q. Why?
A. If you allow the Spirit of the Lord to lead you and not your human mind, your life will glorify God through the messages.

The next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis Church, Plateau state). He was talking with me with his head upside down. The Lord says that was the state of his punishment at that hour.

Q. Who are you and why are you here?
A. I was Pastor Philip Mokungah. Now I know I am nothing and my self-will brought me here. And I’ve already sowed the seed of self-will and selfish desire in my family. The more it grows the more my punishment in hell increases. I was walking right with God then I gave room to the devil and he cut me off. He succeeded through my desire and at the end I divorced my wife. This was the first step that separated me from God. And I took it very lightly. Now I am here as a result of my self-will.

He also gave me a message for his family.
While I was talking with him, I also saw a woman who was a very popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying, “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not allowed to talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said what brought her there was secret sin, though she did not state what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that took her there.

Ten other people spoke to me but I was not allowed by the Lord to speak to them. Eight of them are of other nationalities (Non-Nigerians).

There was a man I met in Indonesia where I went preaching in 2009. He said he was in hell because of wrong counseling. He was a counselor who was giving people wrong counsel.
One of them said he is there because of the spirit of irresponsibility.

Another said he came there because of gossip.
Another said he is there because of the spirit of bitterness.
A lady said she came there because of lying in the name of God.
There was a young man who said he was arrested while on earth for preaching the gospel and the devil cut him off in prison where he compromised his faith.

There was a woman who was just wailing but I could not pick out her words. There was an elderly man who said he wished he was me because looking at me I was not feeling what he was feeling.

I saw a young girl with a very long hair with different colors. She was a cultic girl who was in the choir of her church. The last person was a young man. He said he called himself into the ministry because he desired to help God. The hand of the Lord was not on him and therefore no grace. He went to so-called men of God seeking anointing of the Holy Spirit. As they prayed, they transferred the same evil spirits in them into him. He gave a message – “Be careful of those you allow to lay hands on you.”

The three men the Lord allowed me to speak with were very popular preachers. God, however, is not a respecter of persons for He is a just judge.

Acts 10:34-35:
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Rom 2:11
“For there is no respect of persons with God.

Rom. 11:22:
“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.”

Coming out of Hell
After the Lord brought me out of hell, I was back in the light were I was before. Then I said, “Lord, can I ask a question?” He answered, “Why not”. “Lord, why did you allow me to have this experience. I’m afraid seeing these men in hell?” Then the Lord said to me, “I allowed you to see these men in hell because of the message you are carrying for this generation.” I now asked the Lord, “Can I carry this message of seeing these people who labored in Your vineyard, and yet ended up in hell?” The Lord said to me, “That is their choice. They knew the truth but they refused to confront themselves with the truth but others. You can carry the message because of the anointing that is upon your life”. “But Lord, You anointed these men as well and yet they have ended up in hell!” “It is because of their choice. If you also choose the wrong road like them, you will end up where they are. But my desire is that you continue on the right road”. This warning, of course, applies to all those going up with the Lord in glory! “What about those people who listen to their messages, would they be saved or lost like them?” “If they believe in Me, it is not their message, it is My message”.

Then the Lord raised His two hands and was leaving. Then I asked Him, “Lord, when are you coming to take us?” He said, “I Myself do not know, only the Father”; as He said this, He was looking up towards heaven. After this He went up. There were many angels with Him in the clouds and they went back with Him.

The end of the vision
After they left, as I looked, I was shocked to find myself still in the place of prayer where I first knelt before the Lord the previous day, 2nd of September 2011. I realized I had been with the Lord for about twenty-four hours yet there was no weariness or weakness in my body. Then an anointing came upon me and the names of some of the people I had seen in the vision began coming to me especially the lost ministers(who are still alive but have gone astray), for prayer. I was given specific prayer points for each of them. The general prayer for all the lost ministers is for God to open their spiritual eyes to see the need to confront themselves with the gospel of Truth.

Why this vision?
God is a merciful God who does not want us to perish.
1) This vision is for you personally, you need to view your own life, forget about the ministers mentioned there. You personally need to settle your relationship with God. You personally need to settle your account with God before it is too late. Are you genuinely saved? Are you living a holy and godly life or you are following the modern prosperity Christianity?

2) You need to repent now; you need to experience genuine salvation now before it is too late. It is not about saying, "God have mercy on me, Lord I need you to help me" but you also need to take step for your new life, you need to surrender your self and sins to Jesus by yourself, God will not do that for you.

3) Are you a child of God? Examine yourself. We all need to examine ourselves with the word of God. What is those aspects, habits in our lives that we have been overlooking, excusing or we think they don’t matter? Those things can hinder us from entering heaven if we don’t repent now. What is the restitution to make or who to forgive? Please, let’s all settle everything now. Let’s search our lives with God’s word and surrender all as we pray.

4) Flee from false teachings of worldly indulgences and prosperity focus. Those preachers who emphasize on prosperity more than purity, who tell you about earthly blessings more than the second coming of Jesus are lost ministers, irrespective of their popularity and prophecies. Read Matthew 7:21, 23.

Repent, confess your sins and forsake them, accept Jesus as your Lord and start a new life in Him. Look unto Jesus not any Pastor or Bishop.

NOTE: Remember your confession of sin is useless without repentance, readiness to forsake them.

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

Christianity EtcHow God Showed Me The Vision Of Rapture And Hell by FreshGreen(op): 8:02am On Aug 20, 2014
HOW GOD SHOWED ME THE VISION OF RAPTURE & HELL (Part I) - You have to read this!

After a forty-day fast that I was requested to go through by the Lord, in the place of prayer, I suddenly saw light around me and then heard the audible voice of the Lord saying, “Men have seen the sky, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and the hills and yet they fear Me not; I will not hold My peace anymore, I am coming to judge the earth.”

The Lord showed me an open vision of the rapture before He took me down to hell. The first person I saw in the vision was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. I have seen Him on several occasions before now so I know Him.
The Lord ALLOWED me to see the PRESENT CONDITION (not FUTURE DESTINATION!) of everyone He has privileged me to meet in my two and half year’s journey with Him. As well as many others that I have never met including those the Lord said I will meet in future.
1. I saw those who were going up in glory with the Lord.
2. I saw those were going down in destruction.

Those in Category 2 were far more in number compared to those in Category 1.
There were those who were not seen in Category 1 or 2. The Lord says these ones are hiding in darkness for there is nothing hidden in the Light.

Most of the ministers who were going up in glory, the Lord says, are not the popular ministers known by men on earth but are known by Him. However, I saw some ministers of the gospel that I know.

Most of the major ministers in Nigeria were seen going down in destruction. The Lord says this is the season of judgment. He says He cannot bear any longer what they are doing in His name for He is coming to judge the earth, yet it is not too late if they repent; but He says, “If you refuse to be sincere with yourself and repent, you know where you are going – your destiny is eternal destruction.”Just some of the major ministers among the so many ministers in destruction are going to be mentioned here for the purpose of their redemption. The Lord says it is not His will for you to be where you are right now and you know it.

These include Pastor Enoch Adeboye (Redeemed Christian Church of God), Bishop David Oyedepo (Living Faith Church), Pastor Tunde Bakare (Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor (President, Christian Association of Nigeria), Dr. Olukoya (Mountain of Fire and Miracles), Matthew Ashimolowo (Kingsway Church, United Kingdom), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy), Pastor T.B. Joshua (Synagogue of All Nations), Chris Okotie (Household of God), Evangelist Uma Ukpai and many others!

I have never met or known any of these ministers. However, some of these ministers were brought to me in the place of prayer for intercession during the forty-day fast preceding this vision. The Lord introduced them to me as lost ministers.

Christian national leaders from other countries include –Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Rod Parsley, Myles Munroe, Mike Murdock, Paula White, Ron Kenoly, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Pat Robertson, Reinhard Bonkke, Pope Benedict, David Yongi Cho, Duncan Williams and many others!

The essence of mentioning these names is for these people to be warned by those who know them and love them so there can be a change in their ways before it is too late! My responsibility is to simply report what I saw and to warn, so I am free of their blood. There are many other lost ministers whose names cannot be listed here, but let everyone examine himself before the searchlight of the Holy Spirit. Each of us must confront ourselves with the gospel of truth before it is too late forever!

The truth is like a double-edged sword which if received reverently could comfort us and if rejected could crush us (Heb. 4:12-13).
This vision is a demonstration of grace and love from the FATHER-HEART OF GOD.

Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with You?
A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their destination?
A. They are going down to hell except they repent.
Q. Why are these people in destruction?

……to be continued in Part II

Why this vision?
God is a merciful God who does not want us to perish. The purposes of this vision:
1) You personally need to settle your relationship with God. Forget about the ministers mentioned in the vision, you personally need to settle your account with God before it is too late. Are you genuinely saved? Are you living a holy and godly life or you are following the modern prosperity Christianity?

2) You need to repent now; you need to experience genuine salvation now before it is too late. It is not about saying, "God have mercy on me, Lord I need you to help me" but you also need to take step for your new life, you need to surrender your self and sins to Jesus by yourself, God will not do that for you.

3) Are you a child of God? Examine yourself. We all need to examine ourselves with the word of God. What is those aspects, habits in our lives that we have been overlooking, excusing or we think they don’t matter? Those things can hinder us from entering heaven if we don’t repent now. What is the restitution to make or who to forgive? Please, let’s all settle everything now. Let’s search our lives with God’s word and surrender all as we pray.

4) Flee from false teachings of worldly indulgences and prosperity focus. Those preachers who emphasize on prosperity more than purity, who tell you about earthly blessings more than the second coming of Jesus are lost ministers, irrespective of their popularity and prophecies. Read Matthew 7:21, 23.

Repent, confess your sins and forsake them, accept Jesus as your Lord and start a new life in Him. Look unto Jesus not any Pastor or Bishop.

NOTE: Remember your confession of sin is useless without repentance, readiness to forsake them.

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

2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.

This vision is not from RTEM but from Brother Sadiq Ibrahim (drkelvinstewart@yahoo.com) who God showed the vision. We asked his permission to post the vision. There are many acclaimed visions from God both fake and true, but after we prayerfully searched, we are convinced this is a genuine vision from God for our repentance. At a minister conference, about 5 people from different places shared the same vision as God gave them, to warn every one of us and these minsters to repent, that He is coming SOON. Some of the people God gave this vision said they have already informed most of these ministers, it is now left to them to repent, but then you can choose for your own dear life. The common message is: JESUS can come any moment from now.

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

Christianity EtcTime Is Fasting Running Out by FreshGreen(op): 8:45am On Aug 19, 2014
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 of hell. I cannot 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 surrender 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 restitution 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."

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

Christianity EtcDoes Hell Really Exist? by FreshGreen(op): 10:08am On Aug 18, 2014
DOES HELL REALLY EXIST?
The Scientific & Biblical Evidence
What you're about to read is hard to believe. . .but patiently read it

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.

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

Christianity EtcThe Bondage Of Secrete Cults And One Way Out by FreshGreen(op): 9:10am On Aug 16, 2014
THE BONDAGE OF SECRET CULTS & ONE WAY OUT
“But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.” Exodus 7:12

Secret cults have been modernized and branded with different names and styles at different levels and places, but the same evil group inspired by Satan to put people into bondage. Different people join secret cults for different purposes; people like politicians, pastors, professionals, business people, celebrities, athletics, and people generally. The Pharaoh of Egypt had cult groups in his palace for protection and power, but he suffered for it at the end; so also everyone in cult today.

Cult societies or groups are established and inspired by Satan to perpetrate evil in the lives of people but with attractive promises of money and prosperity, power, protection, great position in the world, fame, influence and connections with great people. So people join secret cult for any of those purposes, thinking it will better their lives and make them enjoy their lives better; not knowing they are deliberately bringing themselves into the bondage of Satan. Every promise of secret cults is problem in disguise and every blessing from them is bondage in the real sense.

You need to know this very important truth: You cannot receive miracle through occult power or groups, you can only get magic!

If you are in or you are being introduced to any form of occultism or secret societies, here is their real picture revealed from the Bible:
(1) Secret Cult Brings Loss –God performs miracle through His servants, Satan performs magic through his secret power and groups, but magic will only bring loss into your life if you receive it. Here is example: After God performed miracle through Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh called his cult groups to do something, let’s read it here: Exodus 7:11, 12, “But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” Miracle swallows magic; God’s power swallows satanic power, and you know what? Pharaoh’s cult groups lost their rods to Aaron’s rod and they went home with empty hands.
That is what happens to people who join secret cults; they loose their real blessing – peace of mind, freedom and sound sleep, etc, to Satan. Your very precious life you try to protect by joining the secret cult will be lost to Satan in eternal destruction, what a loss!

(2) Secret Society Worsens Situations –Problems multiply into hundred folds. Satan tries to deceive with momentary blessings to attract them into destruction. Let’s check that too: Exodus 7:20, 22 “And Moses and Aaron did so, just as the LORD commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood……Then the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments.” When Pharaoh’s water was turned into blood by God’s power, which was a bad situation, right? And what do you expect Pharaoh’s secret cults to do for him? I think they should turn the bloody water back into water; but no, they turned the remaining water for Pharaoh to drink into blood. That is the exact real picture of secret societies; they worsen your bad situation. If you have been or you are still in any cult group you will understand this, if you go to satanic people for solution, you should expect double portion of problems. People joined cults for provision for their families, and in the process they lost same families - children, spouses - for demanded sacrifices by the secret cults, the very people they went into the secret cults to provide for. Satan collects peace and gives pieces, he collects calmness from people and gives crisis, he collects welfare and gives war; he collect original and gives fake, he collects eternal value and gives temporal value; with fancy temporal he deceives the fools. Do you want to be such fool?

(3) Secret Cult Has No Solution –Satan has no solution to human problem, he only has destruction through his lies and deception, he uses secret cults and demonic people to deceive people and destroy their souls. If you join cult group, you have licensed yourself into destruction forever, they will destroy the little you have, the little life you have on earth and send you to eternal destruction. Please read this, “So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.” Exodus 8:6,7. Secret societies, satanic church, demonic people have no solution for your life, but destruction.

(4) Secret Cult Is So Limited –Secret societies and their power can give you position, possession, money but they can’t give you peace, they will give you money to build houses and buy beds but they will take away your sleep; they will give you lots of wealth but take away your health, they will give you fame and torment you with fear at the same time. Satan can’t give you possession and peace at the same time, only Jesus the Prince of Peace can give peace and rest of mind. Secret cults are too limited to give you peace of mind and life. “Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.” Secret cults are too limited for you to trust them with your dear life.

(5) Secret Cult Brings Eternal Destruction In Hell Fire –All the people in secret cults, people who practice witchcraft, wizard, sorcerers, soothsayers, herbalists, magicians, astrologers, horoscope people, idolaters, etc, and all the people who consult them are doomed for eternity because they have sold their souls to Satan in exchange for temporal things “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8. You will get fame through the secret society but you be get into eternal flames forever, you will get the position but you will get into eternal pain of hell fire, what a fool!

My friend, here you are, because of passing things of this world you sold your soul to Satan by secret cult, you have gotten the money, position, fame or whatever but you are living in fear day and night, and you dare not tell anyone. So what is the use of the money, fame, the high position, possession and power that you have in perpetual fear and unrest? You have money but you are miserable. But then I have something else to tell you:

THE TRUTH YOU NEED TO KNOW!
By human power, secret cults have entrance but no exit, if you join them; you are doom because humanly there is no way out except the WAY, that is, you cannot find way out of the bondage of secret cults and no body can help you find a way out for your soul and your freedom except the WAY Himself. Somebody has made Himself a Way for you to get out of the bondage of Satan and sin, and no other way apart from Him. God had foreseen your predicaments and the impossibility of way out of satanic bondage, so He sent His Son to be the Way out for you, JESUS CHRIST. I am not saying He has a way for you but He is the Way. Jesus said to him,(to you now) “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6. There is no other way out of the bondage of Satan and sin except Jesus Christ, any other means will only weigh you down keep in the bondage and into hell. So, we should now focus on how to find the WAY.

WAY OUT!
Since Jesus Christ is the only Way out of secret cults, you need to find Him. Oh no, you don’t need to find Him, He has already come to find you, He is right there in front of you. All you need to do is to come to Him. Here is His personal invitation to you:

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest – Jesus Christ. (Matthew 11:28)

Are you ready to accept the invitation? So how will you come to Him? You repent – that is you realize you have sinned against Him, your Creator, and you are ready to forsake the secret cults, their possessions and all your sins; then you confess your sins to Him, you ask Him to save you and set you free. No matter how keep you have gone, no matter how many evil you have done, as long as you come to Jesus now, He will accept you, yes! Here is His standing promise: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

NO WASTE TIME
If you are ready to be free from the bondage of secret cults and sin, you need to do it now, so go on your kneel or bow down your head and confess your sins and secret cult to Jesus, (i) tell Him you renounce the secret cult and you repent from all your sins, (ii) ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you, and (iii) tell Him to come into your life now. Go ahead and do that, after then you say this prayer with me:

PRAYER
“LORD JESUS CHRIST, I come to You now, I realize I have gone the wrong ways and sinned against you. I repent from all my sins ( confess them) as I am ready to forsake them and follow you; I renounce the secret cult and accept You as My Lord from now and forever. Thank you for saving me and setting me free. I pray in Your precious and powerful name JESUS CHRIST. Amen!”

Now you are saved and you are set free! “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” John 8:36

If you have prayed this prayer, you can contact us for further counsel on how to grow in your new life of peace and freedom in Jesus:

Christianity EtcMost Ugly Song Ever! by FreshGreen(op): 9:10am On Aug 15, 2014
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. Please click on this link and read on how to be genuinely saved and start have new life in Jesus and pray as directed https://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252

You can also contact us for prayer of salvation or rededciation, for biblical guidance and godly counsel, if you have issues, restitution to make, confession or burden in your mind and you need Biblical counseling and prayer without any church attachment.

Christianity EtcSweet Poison by FreshGreen(op): 10:55am On Aug 14, 2014
SWEET POISON

I looked closely at the picture of a burger, and I saw a poisonous snake packed inside of it. The snake looked calm inside the burger and the burger looked yummy and bulky from little distance but it is a poisonous burger. That is exactly the type of many messages, sermons and Christian books you see all around today, they sound sweet and motivating but they are poisonous to your spiritual well-being.

Know that we are at the very end of the age, as Jesus Christ had foreseen and fore said that majority of the prophets at the end time would be false; and so if you believe that we are in the end time, the hidden truth is that majority of the prophets, pastors or bishops you know are false, they may even be your own pastors, mentors or role model. When the Bible talks about end time false prophets, does it means they will come in a strange, dirty way? No, the end time false prophets would come in a friendly and lovely way.

As many Jews were waiting for the coming of Elijah before the earthly ministration of Jesus Christ, they didn't believe John the Baptist was the Elijah to come as the forerunner, they are still waiting till today. So also as Jesus predicted many signs which would happen before His second coming, false prophets are one of the major signs of His imminent coming. These false prophets are already everywhere now, and if you care for the truth, they are the prosperity and motivating preachers of modern Christianity everywhere today. These false preachers are feeding people with spiritually poisonous messages by capitalizing on your indulgence; they know what you want and so they major on those things that will attract you just as candy attracts kids but not well for their health. Apostle Peter said, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words” 2 Peter 2:3.

Here are some signs and symptoms of poisonous messages and preachers inspired by devil for your spiritual wreck:

Earthly Major
The poisonous messages and preachers majorly focus on your earthly well-being than your spiritual well-being. They focus on your financial, material progress than your spiritual progress; it’s majorly about prosperity than purity. Such messages may be sweet, calming and lovely to you by your lovely preachers, G.Os or Bishops, but the bad news is that they are poison to your soul. Though such messages may psych you, make you scream, shout or shed tear, but they are lovely packed poison. Proverbs 20:17, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel."

Rights without Responsibilities
Poisonous messages center on promises of the Bible without responsibilities and commands of the Bible. Because they want to lure and psych you, they tell you half truth of sweet, lazy aspect that will cost you no self-discipline, just claim and cash! They tell you grace without truth, faith without work, justification without godliness, heaven without holiness, power without purity, and God’s promises without godly relationship. They say, “You should know your rights in Christ, you have authority, all promises for you…” But they rarely challenge you to your responsibility to live blameless life of holiness, to deny sin and self as a child of God. Such rhetoric of “your rights” without repeating “your responsibilities” are poisonous to your soul.

Praise Without Purity
If you hear any preacher saying what you need majorly to please God and get blessing of God is to just keep praising God, without first telling you about purity, such preacher is a poison vendor, such message is erroneous. Praise without purity is ugly and unacceptable to God, no matter how sweet your voice is, and no matter how seasoning the musical instruments are; because the beauty of praise is holiness, and your praise without your life of holiness is ugly, empty and poisonous. 1 Chronicles 16:29, “Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!”

Grace Without Godliness
Beware of messages that talk about grace without godliness, they are end time Snake Venom! The grace of Jesus Christ produces godly life. We are not saved by our own works of righteousness; we are saved by grace for godly works not for ungodly works. After salvation, the grace of God produces righteous living in us. Grace and ungodliness never meet together – you can’t continue in sin and still have God’s grace in you, and you can’t continue in grace of God and still continue in ungodly living. Romans 6:1-2

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

There are some poisons that are sweet, for example, Ethylene glycol is a poison with a sweet taste, Lead(II) acetate (Pb(CH3COO)2) has a sweet taste. But the sweetest poisons are the deception of sin and the motivating and prosperity pastors' messages. Sin tastes sweet but it has the capacity to poison your heart, soul and body, and causes eternal destruction. Sin is sweet but dangerous to your life! Modern prosperity gospel is yummy but destructive.

If you are born again, but no evidence of holiness of life, if you still rise and fall into sin or some ungodly lifestyles still persist in your life, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus, and deliver yourself from poisonous messages, preachers and churches before you are doomed forever. Escape for your life!

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

Christianity EtcLesson To Learn From This Funny Joke by FreshGreen(op): 11:38am On Aug 13, 2014
LESSON FROM THIS FUNNY JOKE
Screen saver!

A rich man died and immediately found his soul at the gate of heaven. The angel at the gate told him, “Now you are dead and you are here for judgment. You didn’t serve God well with all your heart, but because of all the great and good efforts you made for humanity when you were alive, I will give you uncommon privilege. You have the chance to choose where you want to go, hell or heaven.” The rich man asked the angel to permit him to have a look of both heaven and hell before he could make a choice. The angel permitted him, so he allowed him to first view hell.

When the angel took the rich man to hell, he saw beautiful ladies wearing swimming kits, dancing and having fun with glasses of wine. Then the angel took him to see heaven, there he saw angels singing hymns and praising God. So the angel asked the rich man to make a choice. The rich man said, “I will prefer hell, it is fun and more exciting there, let me go to hell” Then the angel said, “According to your decision.”

The rich man was thrown into hell, and to his greatest surprise he found himself in the flames of fire with furnace raining upon him and demons ready to torment him for ever. The rich man cried to the angel, “What happened? Where are those beautiful girls having fun that I saw here before?” The holy angel replied, “What you saw then was just a screensaver”

This a joke, because no choice or repentance after death, it is judgment. Hebrews 9:27. But this shows how Satan deceives people with the things of this world.

Whatever you see in this world are mere screensaver; the fun, fame, fancy, fashion, and fortune are empty screensaver that have nothing to profit the real you, which is your soul. Do not sell yourself to sin because of earthly pleasure and position and then find yourself in eternal pain and plaque. Why will you give a permanent heavenly paradise for a passing earthly possession? Don't be a fool. Do not exchange your soul to Satan just for screen-saving something that can't last as your soul. Don't be stupid.

Your soul is the real you, your soul will last forever just as God will be forever, and just as Satan will be forever; if you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and follow Him till the end, you will last with God forever in heaven and in pleasure; but if you remain in sin or fall back into sin, you will be forever with Satan in hellfire, and in pain. YOU HAVE THE CHOICE NOW!

Luke 16: 24 Then 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 in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

Matthew 16: 26. “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?”

Christianity EtcHow To Get Genuine Salvation And Start A New Life In Jesus Christ by FreshGreen(op): 8:25am On Aug 11, 2014
HOW TO BE SAVED AND START A NEW LIFE IN JESUS!

Dear reader, it’s by God’s mercy to exist to this time, Satan’s plan for us is to die in sin and doom forever in hell fire. Without genuine salvation, there is no way we can escape the judgment of God, so count it as a great privilege to have this opportunity, and so you need to make the best use of it for your salvation and new life in Jesus.

How can you have genuine salvation that will guarantee eternal life with Jesus and grant you the grace to overcome sin, Satan and self? Please follow the following steps:

No Excuse, but admit it.
If truly you need God’s mercy to pardon your sins and give you grace to overcome them, then you need to face it by yourself and acknowledge your sin. Don’t excuse sin because everybody is doing it - in your church (even your pastors, parents or partners), in your family, in your place of work, etc. Don’t says, “Does that means everybody doing it will go to hell fire?” Yes, everybody can go to hell and God will still be righteous. Jesus said instead of you to be thinking how many will be saved, YOU strife to be saved NOW. Don’t excuse sin because of its popularity, it’s in person - you, face it. And sin is sin, either small or great, there is no difference, you just be sincere and confess it.

Psalm 51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight

Make a Genuine Confession
Do you wonder why you’ve made several confessions of your sins and yet you still have guilt of those sins, you still go back into such sins, and your salvation is not certain or you find yourself going back into your sins? It’s simple: you didn’t make genuine confession. Genuine confession is not just using the name of Jesus, not answering alter call and so on. Take the next 2 steps that lead you to genuine salvation in Jesus Christ:

First Repent before You confess.
There are many fake confessions, but if you sincerely want to make acceptable confession, you must first repent. No need for you to confess if there is no repentance in you. Repentance is thoughtful realization of your sins and determination to forsake them. If you confess without readiness to forsake the sins you confess, you are simply wasting your time, and the sins will soon get you down. To repent is not to be sorry for your sins, if you are sorry without readiness to forsake all, you will have a sorry case and that is not a genuine salvation. Humble yourself before God now and surrender all.

Proverbs 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Pray It All
Now all you need to do is to go before JESUS CHRIST in prayer as you confess your sins and ask God to forgive you through His Son Jesus Christ. Tell Him you are sorry for how you have lived and all you have done, ask Him to cleanse you by the Blood of Jesus and give you a new heart and a new spirit. He will do it as He has promised in His Word saying, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9.

Now is the time for your salvation! Do not delay further, do it now, don’t allow Satan to distract or delay you, because another chance may not come. You can pray the prayer for the next 5 to 10 minutes.

Have you prayed the prayer for your salvation? Then let me pray with you:

“Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for our sins, thank You for coming to seek us and counting us worthy to be saved. You promised that if we come to You, You will not cast us away; that if we admit and confess our sins, no mater how many and how terrible, You will forgive and cleanse us. So I pray for this beloved, as s/he has repented, confessed and asked for Your forgiveness, save her/him and give her/him a new nature of Yours to live for You from today. Thank You Lord because You have answered, for we prayed in Jesus name. Amen.”

Now You Are saved!
Now, you are saved, you are born again with a new life by Jesus Christ. You need to start the new life guided by God’s Word. You have to disassociate and detach yourself from old lifestyle; old things that are not according to God’s Word and friendship that can pull you back to old life in sin. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” You can’t continue in your old lifestyle anymore, you are now a genuine, heaven recognized child of God and your life must be guided by His Word. You need to be reading Bible every day and praying about your new life. You should be reading at least 2 chapters of Bible everyday and take time to pray for your spiritual growth and daily strength; you can start from Matthew chapter 1.

Christianity EtcHave You Lost That Lovin' Feelin'? by FreshGreen(op): 4:05pm On Aug 09, 2014
Have You Lost that Lovin' Feelin'?
by Nancy C. Anderson

My husband and I met on a lovely autumn day in 1976. I was a tall, thin, twenty-year-old college girl wearing a short denim skirt and a perky Dorothy Hamill haircut. As I sat on a park bench reading a Groucho Marx autobiography, Ron walked by. He took one look at me and felt his heart dance (Ka-ching! Bling! Bling!). I was his type: young, pretty, and best of all, I was reading a book about a comedian. His first words to me were, "Is that a funny book?"

I looked up, smiled, and said, "It's great! Listen to this. " Then I read him a paragraph in my best "Groucho" voice.

His face lit up. His beautiful smile and perfect teeth impressed me. I moved over, so he sat down. We talked about everything and nothing for over an hour. Then we started dating.

Before every date, he made sure that he washed the car, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on cologne. He was always on time, greeted me with a minty-fresh kiss on the cheek, and often brought flowers. Sometimes he even brought a bouquet for my roommates. He was my knight in shining armor, and I was his fair maiden.

He planned our dates with military precision; knew the who, what, when, where, and why of every event. He'd tell me if the dress code was formal or casual. If we went to a party, he'd always stay by my side, attending to my every wish.

He would often surprise me with funny or sweet cards in the mail or drop a note into my purse for me to find later. One letter began, "My dearest maiden," and he signed it "Your knight forever, Sir Ronald." He treated me like a princess, and I loved every minute of it!

In November of 1977, he took me back to the park bench where we met and magically produced a tiny blue-velvet box. He gallantly bent down on one knee and opened the box to reveal a sparkling diamond ring.

His voice quivered with emotion as he said, "Nancy, I love you. Will you marry me?"

With tears of blissful joy, I gasped, "Absolutely!"

I had visions of our life together: seventy years full of laughter and romance in a kingdom full of love. The next month, he bought me a little starter-castle full of dreams.

Then we got married, and my Sir Lancelot became Sir-Belch-a-lot.

Overnight, he became a three-ring circus of noises. While he slept, his snores rumbled and tooted like a calliope. Every morning, he blew his nose, trumpeting like an elephant and he sounded like a tiger hacking up a hairball as he spit in the shower.

Our romantic dating rituals went out the window and selfish complacency sneaked in the back door. I was as much to blame as he. I stopped many of the behaviors that initially attracted him to me, like being flirty, funny, and cuddly. I criticized and corrected him about insignificant things, and he pulled away from me emotionally. We stopped trying to please each other and got careless with each other's feelings. He wanted more sex and less nagging; I wanted more money and less noise.

We lost our romantic spark, and our sense of adventure and fun. We got off track and stopped caring about each other.

Apathy is a danger sign that may appear right before a divorce. If you have an apathetic marriage, you've stopped caring about meeting the needs of the other person. If you don't want to spend time together or be alone with each other, your marriage may be in deep trouble. BB King's song "The Thrill Is Gone" is often used to describe such a marriage.


If your thrill is gone, here are some ways to get it back.

First, ask the Lord to help you examine your own heart. You may want to pray Psalm 139:23–24:

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Are you pulling away emotionally? Physically? Spiritually? If you are, talk to your mate, confess your part in the distance between you, and tell him or her that you'd like to feel closer.

Second, examine your behavior. When Ron and I got decided to get back on track, we didn't feel like we were in love, but we began to behave in loving ways, and loving feelings slowly followed. We started with simple things like saying please and thank you, then we moved up to small compliments like "You look nice in that color" and easy courtesies like holding the door for each other. The nicer we were to each other, the more we liked each other; the more we liked each other, the nicer we treated each other. We began a positive cycle of kindness that grew into rekindled love.

We have discovered that when we changed our behavior, our feelings followed. Some people object to this method, saying it's not genuine, they feel like they're putting on an act. We tell them to try it for a week, even if it seems forced at first, because developing any new habit requires discipline. The more you do it, the easier it gets.

Remember that married love is not a feeling—it's a decision. If you stop being critical and negative and start behaving in a loving and caring way, your partner will eventually, respond to that new behavior.

So if your marriage has lost its sense of joy and wonder, you can find it again. Don't live a "settled for" marriage. Begin today to make a change in your heart and in your actions, and soon your lovin' feelings will follow

Christianity EtcNo Condemnation, No Continuity! by FreshGreen(op): 3:17pm On Aug 08, 2014
NO CONDEMNATION, NO CONTINUITY!
"When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:10,11

The simple definition of Christianity is, no condemnation and no continuity. God does not condemn you no matter what you have done or what you are doing, but when you come to Jesus, you should not continue in the sinful life.

Coming to Jesus and continuing in sin is a fake and satanic form of Christianity with no eternal life.

A person who claims to be a Christian and still continues in sin is condemned already

Preaching the message of "No condemnation in Christ" without completing it with "No continuity in sin" is a half truth and destructive.

Now you can come to Jesus, confess your sins, and forsake them. The grace comes by daily Bible reading, prayer and watchfulness.

Christianity EtcWhat The Bible Has To Say About Ebola Virus & Its Solution by FreshGreen(op): 8:48am On Aug 07, 2014
WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY ABOUT EBOLA VIRUS & ITS SOLUTION
- For every situation, there is a solution from the Bible.

Recently, a disease called Ebola has been causing havoc in the western part of Africa. It can be infected easily and kills faster. While the governments are working for the solution to cure and contain it, people continue to live in fear.

As I was wandering about it, the Spirit opened my eyes to see what the Bible has to say and the solution it has for Ebola.

The Bible called Ebola a pestilence - meaning a disease that spreads about, and the only certain prevention and cure for Ebola is the Shadow of the Almighty. If you can get the Shadow of the Almighty, you have nothing to fear about Ebola or any terrible epidemic. And where can we get the Shadow of the Almighty? The truth is that you cannot get the Shadow of the Almighty in any pharmaceutical stores or hospitals in the world, not even in the US.

To protect yourself against Ebola where it’s existing, you need the Shadow of the Almighty, and the only place you can get the Shadow of the Almighty is to go under the secret place of the Most High. Here is what the Bible says:

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

"I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”"

"Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the PERILOUS PESTILENCE."

"You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday."

"A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.” – Psalm 91:1-7

If you have confessed your sins and been cleansed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and accepted Him as the Savior of your life, then you are dwelling in the secret place of the Most High and abiding under the shadow of the Almighty! What it means is that you are covered and secured with the Blood of Jesus Christ – you have nothing to fear about, even if you are living in the valley of Ebola virus.

THE QUESTION
As children of God, protected from Ebola virus by the Blood of Jesus Christ, should we fold our hands and see thousands of our fellow unsaved family members, friends, and countrymen falling by our sides? Should we seat down idle under the Shadow of the Almighty and allow Ebola virus to reach thousands of souls before we reach them with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and before they reach their destiny?

Now, every child of God everywhere must rise up in prayer.

PRAYER TO DESTROY THE FORCE OF EBOLA VIRUS
While the Governments have no clue to contain or cure Ebola virus, we have the power of prayer through the Blood of Jesus to cancel the force of Ebola virus.

PRAYER
“Our God in heaven, we thank You for Your power and supremacy over all. We ask for Your forgiveness because sin had prevailed in our land before Ebola virus. We plea for Your mercy through Your Son Jesus Christ and ask You to heal our communities, countries, everywhere Ebola virus has reached. We declare healing for the infected and we destroy the power of Ebola virus from spreading further, by the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ. We ask the Gospel of our Lord JESUS CHRIST to spread all over our land. We take authority in the name of Jesus Christ and cause Ebola virus to cease. In JESUS name.” Amen

Please pray this prayer, type “AMEN IN JESUS NAME” and spread/share the prayer as we silence the pestilence.

God bless you

Christianity EtcRelief by FreshGreen(op): 8:22am On Aug 06, 2014
R E L I E F !
Exodus 8:15, “But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.”

You found yourself in trouble beyond your ability, or beyond what you could bear, then you cried to God for help and promised to serve Him with all your heart and life, in holiness for the rest of your life, if only He could rescue you. You got into serious needs and embarrassment above your human power or solution, then you cried unto God, that if He could do this for you and remove the shame, that you would surrender all your life to Him and serve Him, and do His work, preach His word everyday and night. Then God listened to your prayer and did as you requested. But after you are relieved from the problem, pain or punishment, you forgot your promise to God? Such relief which made you to forget your promises to serve God and walk is a short relief and it will shortly bring destruction.

When God punished Pharaoh for his own sin of arrogance, the punishment was too painful that he cried to God and promised to obey God if He could stop the punishment. “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.” 10 So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.” Exodus 8:8-10.

But immediately Pharaoh was relieved of the problem and pain, he hardened his heart and continued in his old way. “But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.” Exodus 8:15. To his detriment, greater calamities overtook him.

God gives relief from problem or pain so that we can quickly repent and turn to Jesus Christ. This relief is like a golden chance, a time of grace. It is also like a second chance for those who have turned away from God and got caught in the web of Satan. The reality of this relief is that it’s a temporal period of grace, relief doesn’t last forever; it is when you make good use of it that real lasting time of refreshment comes from God, but when it is misused, as Pharaoh did, worst calamities ensue.

Relief can come in form of healing from terrible sickness; God heals you so that you can have a better chance and health to serve Him then, so you can surrender your life to Him and serve Him with health and body in holiness and righteousness. But if after you have been healed, you continue in your sin, then worst thing will shortly overtake you. If you have ever received healing from Jesus Christ, it is not because of your righteousness or power, it is not because of what you did for God; it is because of a purpose – God heals you so that you can surrender your life to Him in genuine salvation and serve Him with that health. You may be a sinner and receive healing from Jesus, yes He does that, He heals you so that you can serve Him.

A sick man who did not even recognize Jesus was met by Jesus in the temple, Jesus Christ healed him, and, “Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” John 5:14.

Relief from God can come in form of financial blessings, provision of job, clean financial opportunity, material things, so that you can use them to serve God more better than before, so that you can use them for God’s work of evangelism and to help people. But if after you get the blessing, you begin to use it for your personal and selfish purpose, or the blessing has even distracted you from serving God, the business or job has made you not to have time for your daily devotion or time for God’s work, then destruction is at hand. Such a person will soon experience poverty in all ramification with terrific destruction.

Relief can also come in form of human blessings. You said, “God, if you can give me a godly wife” You said, “God, if you can give me a godly husband” Or you said, “God if you can give me children” Then you said, “I promise to consecrate my life to You more than before, and forever. I will preach Your word everyday. I will throw myself into Your service, I will serve You with that wife, husband or children” Then God was entreated by your prayer and did as you prayed. But what about your vow of consecration now?

You found yourself in a serious trouble, legal case, storm of life or terrible crisis more than you can handle; you called upon the Lord and promised that if He would rescue you this time, you will surrender your life totally unto Him, you will walk in His way of holiness and righteousness, that you will serve Him with everything you have and with all your life. And God listened to your supplication, He did as you said. Now after you are relieved and rescued, and the siege is over, you have forgotten your vow and promise to God. Are you not fooling yourself and forcing God’s judgment upon your own head by your own hands?

Vow or promise to God can be a simple or small matter, in fact everyone of us has made one or two promises to God at different particular time; it can be you are in a journey, traveling on road or in the air, and things got worst, then you quickly promised God that if He would see you through the journey, you will serve Him. It may be you were looking for admission, and you promised God that you would serve Him if He got you the admission, that you will be crazy for Him, in serving and preaching His word. And now, here you are, you have forgotten because you are relieved?

How come you are deceiving yourself by giving financial offering to your church or to a minister of God, but you refused to give yourself to God in re-dedication and holiness? How dare are you cheating on God? You made an agreement with God to surrender all to Him and serve Him if He would do that thing for you, and after you got what you asked from God, you turned your back. Is it a simple matter to you to cheat and mock God? If you dare not cheat your President or General of Army, how come you think you can cheat God and go score-free? Is God a man?

Vow or promise to God is far more than giving or donating huge amount of money to a church or a man of God; it’s more than buying something for a church or a man of God, and it is beyond building houses for a church or a minister of God. The major and most important vow or promise God is expecting you to pay to Him, the reason why God brought relief for you and rescued you from that problem is for you to surrender your life to Him and to serve Him with your time and strength by living for Him in holiness and righteousness, by preaching His word to all men. The payment of financial vow is the least and last. The first thing God needs from you is your life, the paramount thing He wants from you is your salvation and sanctification. That was the reason He healed you and kept you to this day; that was the reason He rescued you and blessed you.

Your pastors and church may be so particular about you making financial vow, they may be majorly concerned about you paying your financial vow, but all your vow of offerings, payment of monetary vow, buying or buildings for God's works are just useless if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ in genuine salvation and holiness of life. God is not asking you to pay vow of money if you have not forsaken your sin; God does not need your offerings of vow if you are still living in your sin. God does not need your sacrifice of praises and thanksgiving if you still continue in your old lifestyle, what is the use to God?

Isaiah 1:11, 13, 16, 17.
“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?”
Says the LORD.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow."

The reasonable service God demands from you is your life. 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."

For you to be alive to this day is by God’s mercy, relieving you from all attacks so that you can surrender your life to Him and serve Him. If you fail to make use of your time of relief to repent from all sins, to rededicate your life to Him; if you fail to discontinue in ungodly habit, if you fail to consecrate your life to Him in serving Him and preaching His word, then the next event will be eternal regret.

Isaiah 55: 6, 7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.”
