 As we have entered into the Season of Advent, preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the signs are ever increasing, more and more, bearing the stamp of the prophetic Words Jesus Christ gave to His followers concerning His return. For example:

Matt 24:9 9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. 

World-wide, over the past 70+ years, there have been more followers of Jesus Christ martyred for their faith than the combined number of Jesus followers martyred since the 1st Century. Christians are hated because they believe that God has made a singular, unique way for all humanity to be restored into Life as God intended it from the beginning. There is forgiveness and unearned mercy (grace) to all who will believe.

Satan hates what God loves. And God loved the whole of humanity, the whole world, so much that He gave His One and Only Son to die our death, to bear our shame, to assume the whole of God’s just judgement against the sum-total sin of all humanity and to rise victorious over sin, death, hell and the grave so that we might be restored to God by grace.

Satan hates that truth and twists it to try and make it seem like “exclusivism”, “arrogance” and “pride” when it is just the opposite. But then, the devil is a liar.

  PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...

 HEBREWS 10:1-2, 10-18 "The sacrifices under that system ( the Old Covenant) were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.   If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.   For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.  Under the Old Covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.   But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.   There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.   For by that one offering He forever m...

 James 1:5-8 " If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.   But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.   Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.   Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." We must remember that God is never upset that we don't know or understand how to live out the New Life He has given to us. That Life is now being lived out in us by the Holy Spirit. This Life of the Kingdom is radically different that the life we are accustomed to living in concert with the world. One of the main marks of a true follower of Jesus Christ is that there is change and ongoing change in us by the Holy Spirit. We do not remain as we once were. The Holy Spirit is conforming us to the Image o...
