 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...

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...
