SYNTHIA ESTHER MINISTRIES PRESENTS: WWW.SACRED PURSUIT.ORG

SEEK GOD'S VOICE THROUGH HIS DIVINELY INSPIRED WORD

Sacredpursuit.org is dedicated to holding fast in accordance to God's word, and warning the world of false occult, New Age, pagan-gnostic deceptions (Galatians 6:7).  The covert, fake world unity oneness 11:11 awakening deception is covered in tell-bearer details throughout the sacredpursuit.org website.  Synthia Esther first began writing about the 11:11 occult staged proclaimed evolutionary awakening subject matter  back in 2005.  After she became targeted by the AI induced "made you look" algorithm time prompt delusion.   

 

AN IMPORTANT NOTED BIBLICAL WARNING: 


SPIRUTAL WARFARE AND THE ANTICHRIST ORDER TO RULE AND REIGN IS ALIVE AND WELL ON PLANET EARTH.  VIA SPACE BASED, EARTH LACED MATRIX GRID TECHNOLOGIES BEYOND THE PALE, FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE OF ALL LIFE ON EARTH HAS BECOME A SURVEILLENCE REALITY.  AS BIG BROTHER SUREVILLENCE SYSTEMS ARE EVER OPPERATING IN REAL TIME IN OUR MIDST ( REFERENCE: WWW.TECHCHRONICITY.COM ).  


All humanity is involved in this covert, overt spiritual war.  The prince of the power of the air, Satan, and his converts (human and fallen angel alike) desire: New World Order Oneness to prevail.   As such, many dedicated humanism converts consider born again spiritual and religious converts of Jesus Christ, to stand in the way of their progressive global domination goals.


The battlefield  on earth having been covert and overtly militarily equipped and transformed via these space based satellite matrix- grid technologies.  Are coupled with the Earth grid construction of sat celltowers, monotowers, reaching high and radiating into the outer earth atmosphere.  With privacy having been long gone, one's soul (mind, will, emotions) remain in the grips of this ongoing, on-growing deceptive vice.  As one's spiritual core regarding freewill choice has been in large part, controlled and manipulated via military and corporate planned interests and developments.   


Humanity has a stake in this war taking part and placed authority towards one of two opposing forces.  The duality of which has been summed up by many as good versus evil, light verses dark resolve.  The totality of this global domination war serves eternal life and death perspectives.  Biblical prophetic truths foretold this war, and our chosen paths play out in accordance with one of two mindful conscious steams of confidence and faith: “The Mystery of Godliness or The Mystery of Iniquity” (see: 1 Timothy 3:16).


2nd 11 Thessalonians, confirms a strong sent delusion will take place.  

As one fast forwards in our 21st Century time frame, we find science and technology advancements that can serve to deceive (AI algorithms can manipulate, and thus control human responses). 


THE TECHCHRONICITY INDUCED: 11:11 AWAKENINIG DECEPTION FOLLOWS THE NEW WORLD ORDER METAPHYSICAL ONENESS MONISM OCCULT SCRIPT (ALL GODS AND HUMANITY ARE ONE). WHICH IS NOT OF GOD: FOR THERE IS NO GOD BUT JEHOVAH (1 KINGS 8:23; Isaiah 45:5).   SAD TO SAY, MOST DUPED AND DECEIVED 11:11 CONVERTS HAVE COME TO BELIEVE: "WE ARE GOD."               


The question prevails, ever placed by the Holy Spirit:  


'Why are people worldwide being summoned, and thus deceived and targeted by the 11:11 occult oneness New World Order monism message?"  As is obvious, any and all 11:11 promotional citing's serve to offer up a continual stream of propaganda - publicity.  Additionally, one's world view can suffer changes: "For he who begins by seeking God within himself may end up confusing himself as God”.  


God puts it this way, “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man” - Psalm 188:8.  Christians believe in One God-Jesus Christ, who is the Father of all His born again children.  We who are born again are therefore the elect of God, being of One Faith and One Baptism - Ephesians 4:5-6.


FREE MINISTRY RESOURCES REGARDING RELIGION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INDUCTIONS, AND CURRENT EVOLUTIONARY POWER OF THE AIR CONSTRUCTED AI ALGORITHEM INFLUENCESES:


Synthia Esther Ministries  was the first Christian ministry to shout the true wake-up alarm concerning this diabolical, demonic,11:11 fake awakening deception.   If you desire to  learn more about such science and technological insights in relationship to biblical tend times prophecies, please Visit: www.techchronicity.com - Technology induced Oneness Antichrists Doctrines and the New World Order.

THE BOOK OF MALACHI IS AN ORACLE FROM GOD


By Synthia Esther



As  Christians our road map in life is the word of God. We are to  partnership with God, through the power and message of His Holy Spirit  (Malachi 3:1), and no other.  The book of Malachi within God's word is  an oracle; The word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi. 


God does not  change. Malachi 3:6, “Ever since the time of  your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept  them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.


The  foolishness of God is wiser than mans wisdom, and the weakness of God  is stronger than mans strength (1 Cor. 1:25). For God is not served by  human hands, as if he needed anything, because He Himself gives all men  life and breath and everything else (Acts 17:25). God did this so that  men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He  is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:27).


 In Him we live, move, and  have our being (Acts 17:28). 


For  it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but  it is those who obey God's law that will be declared righteous (Romans  2:13). It is by God's law we become conscious of sin (Romans 3:20).  Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the true  “message” is heard through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). 


To look,  seek or listen to another word, is a sin in God's eyes. 


DIVINATION - A PRACTICE GOD STRICTLY FORBIDS!


According to the book, "Numbers And You," by Author Lloyd Strayhorn, modern occult master  numbers are said to be “11” and “22” in numerology,  and are proclaimed by many esoteric practitioners to hold vast power.   As such, this is a form of divination, promoted by mediums,  spiritualists, and the channelings of demons.  All of which God strictly  forbids (Deut. 18:10-12). 


ESOTERIC SIGNS, SEQUENCES, AND SYNCHRONICITIES?


I reference the book, “11:11  the Time Prompt Phenomenon: The Meaning Behind Mysterious Signs,  Sequences and Synchronicities,” by Marie D. Jones and Larry Flaxmanm who  write about such other worldly neologisms. They tell a story about intriguing scenarios and experiences concerning 11:11, with reports coming in from around the world.  Involving people from different cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, and attitudes, who share these unusual, paranormal experiences. Many of which see an angelic being, deemed a spirit guide, that readily imparts a bit of wisdom or insight.  Others reporting the vision of a loved one who has passed.   


On  page 22, the authors recount the story of a woman named Mary, who awakes out of a  paralysis sleep episode at precisely 11:11.  Standing at the foot of  Mary's bed is a dark, shadowy figure who announces via a deep male voice  -  thought transfer into Mary's mind, that he is her "Guardian  Spirit."  


Occam's razor theory thus serves to hold true, in simple measure.  "Why are so many living among us suddenly hearing voices within their heads?"  Conversations with God, A Course in Miracles, etc...  While such subjective experiences can come from many sources, human and demonically inspired/derived alike.  It is important to note a very relative side note: 


V2K - Voice of God technological advances can serve to implant sounds/ voices/ hallucinations into one's mind  (reference: www.techchronicity.com).  Elon Musk's "neuraliink" brain chip implant (and other like technologies) have served to do much the same.  


LET US NOW RETURN BACK TO THE AUTHOR'S EXAMPLE TESTAMONY: 


From that point on, Mary feels forever cared for in a very profound and personal way.   An implanted behavior modification program had thus taken place within Mary's mind.  Her life was changed because of this experience.  Sad  to say, Mary did not feel or know about the Love of our heavenly Father  - Jesus Christ (John 3:16-18).    For it is He alone who is her true Savior, friend, and guardian.  


God  warns us to guard our spirit, mind, and emotions, from being mislead by  such other worldly deceptions.  And no wonder, for Satan himself  masquerades as an angel of light (2nd Corinthians 11:14).  Satan  is the prince of the power of the air with an army of fallen angels who  work to deceive humanity to follow him instead of our Holy Father,  Jesus Christ. Mary's "guardian"  is in reality a demonic spirit.  A fallen angel playing a part and role model of comfort and false love.   Mary fell for the trap, as so many do.   


I URGE YOU TO GUARD THE PATTERN AND DEPOSIT OF SOUND TEACHING IN GOD'S GOOD WORD...


Therefore  I urge you to guard the pattern and deposit of sound teaching in God's  good word, which has been entrusted to us (2 Tim. 1:13-14). God's word  can keep you from lurking, listening, and leaning towards the 11:11  spirits within Satan's dark and dismal plans for humanity. Those who follow and seek such signs and wonders are doomed to fall. To his own master he stands or falls.  Therefore chose today whom you will serve.  As for me and my house we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). 


Each one of us will give an account of their selves to and before God (Romans 14:12). Do not be wise in your own eyes, for it is written that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by  “demons.”   Which as already noted,  in the 21st Century world in which we live, such strange powerful influences can also derive from technological source sways that can serve to mimic a suppose  Alien in contact (reference chosen targeted individual horror author, Whitley Strieber's Alien contact experience accounts), the demonic, or God alike.  


Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose  consciouses have been seared as with a hot iron (1 Tim. 4:1-2).  If one continues in blatant sin and idol worship, seeking guidance from other god's, angels, spirit guides and the like, they will come to have a very depraved mind  (Romans 1:18).  As God will allow the strong delusion (2 Thess. 2:11).  Therefore, be wise and heed God's oracle within Malachi, "Return to God, and He will return to you." 


Matthew  24:24,  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, who shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  And I repeat: As for the lost in Christ Jesus our Lord: 2 Thess 2:11 "...God shall send them strong delusion" which they will grow to believe.   Taking and staking their claim and part in Satan's kingdom, The Mystery of Iniquity, 


As for the elect who are saved by Jesus Christ our Lord: Rebuke and debunk any and all mind altering - controlling delusions taking stance upon the word of God.   Just as Jesus did when tempted by Satan (Mathew 4:1-11).  Taking and staking claim and part in the Kingdom of God - The Mystery of Godliness.


In Summary:  

Do not be deceived - God is not to be mocked (Galatians 6:7).

Some additional gateways into the occult may include / but are not limited to:

Results:


If  you have answered yes to any of these questions, please know can change  the course of your life, seek God's will (outlined in His word),  repent, and go and sin no more.  God's grace, mercy, and love are  everlasting (James 4:6), as we humbly seek to do His will, and apply His  word within our life, gateways to the occult are closed.   Our "zealous" pursuit of God's holy word, builds our faith and fills us with  God's wisdom and knowledge. 


"Everyone  should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for  man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.  Therefore,  get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly  accept the word planted in you, which can save you.  Do not merely  listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says" ( James  1:19-22).


For  God does not want us to be participants with demons (1 Corinthians  20:22).  Satan and his demons know their final judgement (Matthew 8:29),  and tremble as they contemplate their fate (James 2:19).  In  retribution, Satan seeks to take down and doom as many of God's children  with him. But God has made a provision for our future on the Cross of  Calvary (Colossians 2:14-15).   

"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and  He will lift you up," (James 4:10).


Colossians 3:1-10: "Since  then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things  above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  


"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  


"For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.  


"When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.  


"Put  to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual  immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  


"Because of these the wrath of God is coming.  You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.  


"But  now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these:  anger, rage,  malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.  


"Do  not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its  practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in  knowledge in the image of its Creator." 


  "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trust in you." -  Isaiah 26:3

Positive Confession, Visualization - Creating in the Astral Realm

 HAVE FAITH IN GOD, NOT FAITH IN YOUR FAITH


Positive Confession And Visualization -  Occult Methods of Magick


OCCULT INSIGHT: "The Tree Of Life - A Study In Magic" by occult author Israel Regardie, page 118:  


"...that the two faculties which are mainly utilized in magic are Will and Imagination....One of the highest powers we have, a  power marvellously creative beyond description or expression, is  Imagination. "


"It is, postulates Iamblichus, 'superior to all nature and  generation, and through which we are capable of being united to the  Gods, of transcending the mundane order, and of participating eternal  life, and the energy of the super celestial Gods.  Through this principle  therefore, we are able to liberate ourselves from fate.'"


"Magic Of Qabalah Visions of the Tree of Life," by occult author Kala Trobe:


"...a brief description of the Path by  which one might mentally arrive at the desired destination, and  information on the God names, angels, and symbols.  Each chapter  culminates in a guided creative visualization."

                                


SCRIPTUAL INSIGHT:


  • Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
     

Faith  can be defined as a confidence or trust in a person, idea or thing.   Hebrews 11:6,  And without faith it is impossible to please God,  because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He  rewards those who earnestly seek Him. 


Through faith we accept Jesus  Christ as Savior (Acts 16:31), and baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts  11:15-17), receive divine preservation (1 Peter 1:5), inherit the  promises which include healing and provision of material needs (Hebrews  6:12), and are motivated to witness of His mercy, grace and love (2  Corinthians 4:13).


Against all  hope, Abraham by faith believed and so became the father of many  nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”  He was fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised  (Romans 4:20-24).


 While faith is often thought of as a positive  confession to many within the faith and prosperity movement, often times  preaching only positive re-enforcement of faith leaves many to question  God Himself when things go wrong in life, as they so often do. By  placing faith above God's sovereignty, one develops a misguided approach  to what faith in God truly means. 



Romans 5:3-5, "Not  only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that  suffering produces perseverance; (4) perseverance, character; and  character, hope. (5) And hope does not disappoint us, because God has  poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has  given us."  The life of faith in God is the life of victory (1 John  5:4). 



However, victory can be seen through the eyes of sorrow, pain, and even  suffering. Having faith in God regardless of the situation we are faced  with, speaks volumes to a world that is lost and in deep despair.  Despite our suffering, we as Christians can proclaim, “God is working to  develop within us all, a greater cause, purpose, witness, and life of  righteousness.” 



"MYSTICISM AND THE NEW PHYSICS," BY METAPHYSICAL AUTHOR, MICHAEL TALBOT. BANTAM BOOKS, PAGE 151:


"As Blofied explains, 'The purpose of  visualization is to gain control of the mind, become skilled in creating  mental constructions, make contact with power forces (themselves the  products of mind) and achieve higher states of consciousness in which  the non-existence of own-being and the non-dual nature of reality are  transformed from intellectual concepts into experiential consciousness  -  non-duality is no longer just believed but felt.  


In short,  visualization is a yoga of the mind.  It produces quick results by  utilizing forces familiar to man only at the deeper levels of  consciousness,..." 


 

God's Word Tells Us In Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV), "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, And Desperately Wicked: Who Can Know It?



The NET Translation:  Jeremiah 17:9 (NET), "The Mind Is More Deceitful Than Anything Else.  It Is Incurably Bad.  Who Can Understand It?"


NAME IT AND CLAIM IT !


Within the  faith, favor, prosperity and increase movement are people who choose to  believe in their "faith," rather than placing their faith in God. 


This  places man in the power position of using God, instead of surrendering  himself to be used of God. With positive affirmations and confessions in  action, and by claiming authority, many believe their mind power can  compel God to act on their behalf, according to their will. This belief  implies God surrenders His holy sovereignty, wisdom, purpose and plan. 


FROM THE BOOK, "CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS" BY HANK HANEGRAAFF WE READ:


Chapter 6, page 73:  "In Faith theology, faith is a force.  It is the stuff out of which the  universe is made and is the force which makes the laws of the spirit  world function.  So how do you get the laws of the spirit world to  function for you?  According to the Faith teachers, it is through the  use of formulas.  Not only do these formulas of faith cause the laws of  the spirit world to function, but they also cause the Holy Spirit to  function for you. 


 God is demoted to the status of a mere bellhop who  blindly responds to the beck and call of formulas uttered by the  faithful.  Faith formulas are the name of the game....In the book titled  "Two Kinds of Faith, E.W. Kenyon insists that it is our  confession that rules us.  Kenneth Hagin once complained that unsaved  people were getting better results from their faith formulas than were  his church members.  And it dawned on him what the unsaved were doing, Having Faith In Your Faith."


WELCOME TO THE SECRET LAW OF ATTRACTION ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN MYSTICS:


For more  information about The Secret Law of Attraction, please reference on this  website, the webpage article: "The Secret Law of Attraction - According  To God".  Hanegraaff continues to relate this blasphemous false gospel in Chapter 12, "The Demotion of Christ," page 137:


"Almost all  cults and world religions compromise the deity of Christ, and the Faith  movement is not exception.  So far we have seen the Faith teachers  re-create man in the image of God, demote God to the status of man, and  deify Satan as a god.  Now we will see them demote Christ to the level  of a mere mortal.  Consider this incredible statement by Kenneth  Copeland:  'Adam was the copy, looked just like God.  If you stood Adam  upside God, they look just exactly alike.  If you stood Jesus and Adam  side-by-side, they would look and sound exactly alike.  Here a leading  Faith teacher claims no difference and no distinction between God and  man.  Upon being questioned about this blasphemy, Copeland replied, 'I  didn't say Jesus wasn't God, I said He (Jesus) didn't claim to be God  when He lived on earth.'" 


Page 138:

"In John  10:30 Jesus says, 'I and the Father are one."  Modern readers might  misunderstand the significance of His statement, but the ancient Jews  most certainly did not.  They knew precisely what Jesus meant.  they  didn't even wait for further clarification.  Immediately they picked up  stones and denounced Christ for blasphemy, because they said, 'You, a  mere man, claim to be God' (John 10:33).  ....Incredibly, the very next  verse of the same chapter (John 10:34) is precisely the one used by  Faith teachers to prove that men are gods!  In the space of two verses,  Faith theology manages to make Jesus into a little man and man into a  little god.  Apparently, almost every one gets to be God...except  Jesus."


Page 69-70: The Origin of the Faith Teaching: 


Where do these guys get this stuff?  "...standard  proof text used by the Faith teachers is Hebrews 11:1, which in the  King James English reads, 'Now Faith is the substance of things hoped  for, the evidence of things not seen.'   

Page 170:


Hanegraaff explains: 


"First,  remember that Scripture must always be interpreted in light of  Scripture.  That being the case, faith cannot be rightly understood to  mean 'the building block of the universe,' since it is never used in  that sense in the book of Hebrews, much less the entire Bible.  Second,  the word translated 'substance' in the KIV is more accurately rendered  'assurance' (see NASB).  Far from being a tangible material, faith is a  channel of living trust - an assurance - which stretches from man to  God.  ....Finally, consulting an interlinear Bible quickly demonstrates  that the word translated 'substance' in the KJV is the Greek word hypostasis, which in the context of Hebrew's 11:1 means 'an assured impression, a mental realizing.'"  


* ON A REALATIVE SIDE NOTE:  


New Age 11:11'ers would read into "Hebrews 11:1" in the following divination formula / numerical way: 


Hebrews is the 19th Chapter of the New Testament.  Therefore:  1 + 9 + 1+ 1+1 = 1111 .


Reading into scripture is not of God.  To repeat Hank Hanegraaff:

 "Scripture must always be interpreted in light of Scripture."  


POSITIVE CONFESSION AND VISUALIZATION ARE OCCULT METHODS


Confessing  a life free from problems may positively feed the mind and spirit of  people who are suffering in poverty, depression, despair, or a meager  existence however, it is by no means the answer to their problems. It is  a hyped-up, popular message, to think by planting seed money into a  ministry you can sit back and get rich. 


But this is not the message my  Bible tells me. Would the faith and prosperity message of today hold  truth in third world countries surviving in meager existence?  Persons  practicing positive confessions and affirmations to change reality, are  involved with occult magick of the mind.  Which often includes creating through the usage of visualization, on what they term is the “astral  realm.” 


Such belief systems of thought are promoted by Oprah Winfrey and  the movie, “The Secret Law of Attraction". These systems of willed  intent and thought control are titled, “Creative Visualization,” and/or  “Positive Affirmations.” Or a combination of both in the “Kabalistic  System" of magick.  


Also Included is often the addition of treasure maps  (visual pictures of what you desire to obtain), which occult magick  teacher - practitioner, Donald Michael Kraig, touts in his book, “Modern  Magick – Second Edition – Eleven Lessons in the High Magickal Arts,”  (pages 290-292). 


Kraig  writes concerning the “Kabalistic System” on page 293, “If you re-read  some of the earlier material given in this course you will notice that in one place it is mentioned that the *astral  plane, also known as the Yetziratic World, is related to the emotions.  The secret is that the more emotionally involved you can become with  your goal, the greater your changes for rapid success. 'Sort of '  wanting something will not have the success of 'gotta have'  something.”   


We are told in God's word, not to let the heart of our emotions get in the way of doing His will. “The  heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can  understand it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to  give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his  deeds” (Jeremiah 17:9-10).


* The astral body and plane is defined in Nevill Drury's book,  "The Dictionary of the Esoteric,"  page 20, "The double of the human body, usually regarded by occultitsts  as its animating force, providing the body with "consciousness."  The  astral body has a luminous, shining appearance, and is capable of  passing through physical matter.  The act of willed separation of the  astral body from the physical is known as astral travel.  Occultists  believe that at death the astral body leaves its physical counterpart  and finds a new existence on the astral plane."   


Metaphysical,  occult methods of affirmation (word power), and visualization, begin by  utilizing the power of the mind and emotions, to create a thought  empowered image within one's imagination.  This in turn, with practice  of will, creates on the emotional plane of the "astral." 


 "The Mystical Qabalah," author Dion Fortune writes (page 223-224).  "It is very important that we should realize that these lower Sephiroth  of the Plane of Illusion are densely populated by thought-forms; that  everything which the human imagination has been about to conceive,  however, dimly, has a form built about it out of the astral  light, and that the more the human imagination has dwelt upon it to  idealize it, the more definite that form becomes."  


As  Christians, we need not worry about attacks from the astral travels of  dark esoteric - occult knowledge and practice of those who wish to do us  harm,  For God's word proclaims, "No weapon formed against us will  prosper..." (Isaiah 54:17).  Salvation and the word of God protects us.   The power of the name of Jesus -  shields us, and His Holy Spirit  guards us.  


We also know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord:

  

The  apostle Paul tells us in 2nd Corinthians 5:5-11, "Now He who prepared  us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.   Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are  at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - for we walk by faith,  not by sight- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be  absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.  


Therefore also we  have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to  Him.  For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that  each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what  he has done, whether good or bad.  Therefore knowing the fear of the  Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that  we are made manifest also in your consciences."  - New American Standard


King  James Version, 2nd Corinthians 5:8-11, "We are confident, I say, and  willing rather to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord.   Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted  of Him.  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to  that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."


Lest we forget, God is all powerful. He declares concerning those who follow wrongful motive and course, “Because  my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and  they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths,  to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; To make their land desolate, and  a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be  astonished, and wag his head.  Like an east wind I will scatter them  before the enemy. I will show them My back not My face in the day of  their calamity” (Jeremiah 18:15-17).  


 The law of attraction, visualization, and treasure maps creating your  own astral reality, touted by occult practitioners of magick to form  it's double "reality on the physical plane," will not still God's mighty  hand of authority or providence! 



"IMAGINATION AND VISUALIZATION"  -  BY DAVE HUNT  

(from Occult Invasion, Harvest House Publishers, Eugene, OR, 1998)


Dave Hunt  writes, "Occultism has always involved three techniques for changing and  creating reality: thinking, speaking, and visualizing.  The first one  is the most familiar, having been promoted in the world and the church  as "Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale and as "Possibility  Thinking" by the late, Robert Schuller.  


The second is mostly known  among charismatics.  It is the "Positive Confession" (or Positive  Speaking) of the Faith Movement.  The third technique is the most  powerful.  It is the fastest way to enter the world of the  to enter the  world of the occult and to pick up a spirit guide.  Shamans have used  it for thousands of years.  It was taught to Carl Jung by spirit beings,  and through him influenced humanistic and transpersonal psychology.  It  was taught by Napoleon Hill by the spirits that began to guide him.   Agnes Sanford was the first to bring it into the church.  Norman Vincent  Peale was not far behind her, and his influence was much greater."


SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS


We are told  in Matthew 6:33, But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and  all these things will be given to you as well. By isolating scripture,  sheep in “expensive” wolves clothing are preaching a different gospel.  Many even charging hundreds of dollars for week-end seminars or words of  knowledge and prophecy based on seed faith attraction, increase, and  prosperity. 


Professing  a partnership with God many such ministries claim in seed, time, and  harvest faith, a 100 fold return on the money given to their cause and  ministry.   Most often, they are the one's receiving the 100 fold return  they arrogantly boast about. 


“By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).   These  wayward preachers prey on the naive, poor, and innocent.  Teaching them  to give in order to receive. While It is true that we are Biblically instructed to give:


 2nd  Corinthians 9:6-8, "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also  reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap  bountifully.  Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not  grudgingly or under compulsions; for God loves a cheerful giver.  And  God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all  sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good  deed..."   


Our Blessings of return are in accordance with God's will and not our own.  The very breath we take, is a God given blessing of life!



IN CHRIST, "WHEN I AM WEAK, THAN I AM STRONG"


Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10: 


“To  keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great  revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of  Satan, to torment me. (8) Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it  away from me. (9) But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you,  for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all  the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on  me. (10) That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in  insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am  weak, than I am strong.” 


Another  Biblical example of man's weakness in a crisis and God's mighty strength  can be seen in 2 Chronicles 20, when King Jehoshaphat admitted he had  no might against an enemy alliance praying in verse 12, “O  our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast  army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are  upon you.” 


They did not claim their victory, they prayed  to God admitting they were weak and powerless. God gave them victory in a  time of crisis. 


The  disciples recognized and admitted they did not have enough to feed the  multitudes when Jesus Christ provided an abundant supply (Luke 9:12-13).  When the disciples admitted they had caught no fish, Jesus directed  them to, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some” (John 21:6). 


In  every instance, they were “not” told to replace negative confessions  with positive confessions. They were not admonished to ignore their  trying circumstances and visualize, meditate, or confess a positive  outcome. 


By faith, they took their problems to Jesus, and trusted in Him  to do what was best. They also put action behind their faith as they  tossed their net on the right side of the boat. When they did, they were  unable to haul the net in because of the huge capacity of fish.

 

MANS WILL REPLACING GOD'S WILL


When  positive confession dictates a person's personal will instead of God's,  he attempts to replace God's creation (man), above the creator (God). As  if man could control what God could and could not do. God's will can be known and claimed by faith, however, God's ways are not always man's desire.  


James 4:3, "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with  wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."


Before  reaching Calvary's Cross, and ultimately fulfilling God's redemption  plan for humanity.  Jesus Christ, in the Garden of Gethsemane prayed to  God, "if it were possible the cup might be removed." 


 In prayer, He  recognized the will of the Father, but knew, as mortal man, His "Cross"  would be difficult to bear.   


Luke 22:42, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”  


Jesus Christ gave us the lesson  of obedience, despite painful circumstances.  Jesus Christ died an  unimaginable death on Calvary's Cross.  His loving sacrifice, and  obedience to God's will. provided all humanity salvation's redemption  plan.   


If Jesus were following the positive confession movement of many in the 21st  Century, His prayer may have been, “I rebuke you Satan, and the plan  you have made known against me.  Man was not created by God to suffer,  but to triumph.” 


Ultimately, by submitting to God's will Jesus Christ  did triumph over Satan, but this feat wasn't accomplished by usurping  God's plan with His own. Nor did it come to pass without pain and  suffering. 


Christ  suffering was a fulfillment of prophecy (Luke 24:25). Life on Earth  includes pain and suffering.  However, we as Christians are to boldly  consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the  glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:17). 


Paul was shown he would  suffer (Acts 9:16). Yet in Colossians 1:24 he states:


 “Now  I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what  is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of His  body, which is the church.” Paul speaks in Acts 20:23-24, “I only know  that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships  are facing me. (24) However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if  only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has  given me – the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.” 


SOME OF GOD'S MOST FAITHFUL ENDURED TORTURE, TRIALS, AND TRIBULATIONS


As often in  life, our problems are not always a result or an indication of a lack  of faith. Some of God's most faithful endured torture and refused to be  released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced  jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.  They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the  sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute,  persecuted and mistreated – the world was not worthy of them. 


They  wandered in deserts and mountains and in caves and holes in the ground.  These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what  had been promised. 

God had planned something better for us that only  together with us they would be made perfect (Hebrews 11:35-40).  


"Blessed  is the man whom Thou dost chasten, O Lord, and dost teach out of Thy  law; That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until  a pit is dug for the wicked.  For the Lord will not abandon His people,  Nor will He forsake His inheritance." -  Psalms 94:12-14


"For  our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far  more exceeding and eternal weight of glory..."  - 2nd Corinthians 4:17


"But  in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much  patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in  imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By  pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy  Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by  the armour of righteousness on the right hand or on the left, by honour  and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet  true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as  chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor,  yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all  things."  -  2nd Corinthians 6:4-10


UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD'S WILL IS


While it is true that Jesus said, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father"  (Luke 14:13).


 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that  if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know  that He hears us – whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked  of Him (1 John 5:14-14). 


Paul speaks wisely in Ephesians 5:17, “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.”   The apostle Paul also  gave us all an important principle of interpreting scripture in 1st  Corinthians 2:13, This is what we speak, not in words taught us by  human wisdom but in words taught us by the Spirit, expressing spiritual  truths in spiritual words. Consider everything God's word has to say on a  subject. Only doctrine based on a “holistic” view of scripture follows  this Biblical rule.  


By  becoming obedient servants, yielded to the will of God , we are used by  God even unto suffering, to serve His higher Holy purpose and plan. “  If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his  cross and follow Me” (Mathew 16:24). 


“For my thoughts are not your  thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord” (Isaiah 55:8).


Finally,  one must ask themselves the following questions: 


“Could the prosperity, positive confession message be as effective in foreign countries as in our own nation? Is it as effective in the ghettos, slums, and welfare lines, as in modern and prosperous metropolitan cities?  Could it be touted, accepted, and effective among deprived nations as well as affluent, and prosperous nations?”  The answer to these simple reality questions is no! 


 I now repeat the words of Christ himself, “There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land” (Deuteronomy 15:11).


Jesus Christ's love is universal in its appeal, truth, and testamony.  More important than physical and material prosperity, is the condition  of the soul and one's spiritual growth.  Some of my soul's greatest growth and maturity developments came to pass after very difficult and trying times in my life.  It is in our daily walk with God, that we become sanctified  in the truth; God's word is truth (John 17:17). 


We do not know what  tomorrow may bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a  little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that” (James 4:14-15). 


Then have faith and trust in God to see you through. 

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON...

JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER! A PRAYER OF FAITH IN A TIME OF NEED: Dear Holy Father, May bountiful blessings come down upon your children. That our hope may grow ever stronger in tribulation. Our joy being renewed in faith by way of your special grace, and loving mercy. May the light of your blessed Holy kindness and assurance shine forth for all the world to see, as we share our sent blessings with many others who are in need. Keep us safe most Holy Father. And may your born-again children the world over grow to become more like You, in Spirit and in Truth. Amen, Amen, and Amen. Synthia Esther


We Christians believe in One God-Jesus Christ,  who is the Father of all His born again children.  We are of One faith and One Baptism - Ephesians 4:5-6.
 


Since we have a great high priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who has passed through the heavens.  Let us hold fast to our confession in Him, our Holy Father.  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize we our weaknesses, but one who has been similarly tested in every way and yet, without sin.  Being obedient to the Father's will.  So we come before our Holy Father, confidently approaching the throne of grace in order to receive His divine mercy.  For He alone is able to sustain us, and will so timely give help to His blessed children who are in need. 

 (Scripture Reference: Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9)

SACRED JOURNEY HOME

 

ONE'S SACRED JOURNEY HOME TO GOD


 

By Synthia Esther


When we cry  tears flow and our heart grows stronger or weaker depending upon the  justification we give our pain.  With our tears we baptize our choices.   We can take each experience offering forgiveness and grow like wild  flowers in an open field drenched in sunlight and bathed with rain from  heaven above, or we can wallow in the depths of bitterness, pain and  sorrow scorched by the sun, withering in the dust of our personal  deserts.  It is all a daily choice we must face and endure. 

 With  choices made we each begin a journey.


I reflected on my own journey and proverbial fork in  the road.  Control or sacrifice, the signs with pointed arrows boldly  declared.  The roadway leading to the "Land Of Control" looked clear,  bright and easy, as far as the eye could see.  The air was claim and the  blue sky clear.  The road leading to the "Land Of Sacrifice" appeared  to be less trodden and was filled with valleys, rock and debris.  Weeds  and tall grass bordered its pathways.  The wind whistled and blew like  the desert wind with bits of sand that stung and blistered my face.  The  proverbial question in my mind?  Do I take the path of least  resistance, or the road less traveled? 


 The less traveled road looked  hard and uncertain to the conscious eyes of approval.  I was still learning to trust my faith in God and I  immediately took the roadway to the "Land Of Control" only to discover  it ended abruptly on a high mountainous cliff.  The dead-end forced me  to turn back remembering the steps I had taken.  

Once again I came face  to face with the fork in the road.  


This time I walked the uncertain,  less trodden path way to the "Land Of Sacrifice."  My journey was rough  and turbulent.  I tripped over rocks, cut and bruised my body, fell into  deep valleys and pits while struggling along the rough terrain.  


With  eyes closed I would say a prayer of faith and listen to my heart to  guide me.  My prayer's lifted my mask of fear and denial as I continued  onward with courage and strength.  Often times my walk was slow and  progress minimal.  At times I grew faint and weary.  But my past  experiences had taught me to say a prayer to God in my wilderness when  tempted to curse my existence.


I developed courage through the pain of experience and  by faith I was impelled onward.  I looked back and a sense of  accomplishment filled my spirit as I saw the progress I had made.  I  began to notice the pathway was clearing and the roadway straight.  Even  the signs pointing the way to the "Land Of Sacrifice" had changed to  point the way to a place called the "Land Of Serenity."  The rocks and  debris had been replaced with the fragrance and beauty of lush flowers  and blossoming trees.  The aroma sweet and fresh to the senses. 


 As I  breathed deeply to enjoy its splendor, I experienced a sense of peace  that was all encompassing.  Indeed, God was with me on my journey.  Just as He is with us all, ever calling us home to Him.


Another sign read; "This Way To The Land Of  Serenity."  

In the distance I saw a man walking towards me waving his  hand in a welcoming gesture.  We met and his smile broadened with eyes  turned upward as if his whole face was smiling.  His entire being  radiated a sense of assurance, strength and comfort.  He hugged me as if  he'd known me all my life.  "Welcome," his voice was strong and  powerful, yet serene and caring.  "I am so glad you are here, there are  many people waiting to see you.  How was your trip?"  


"Terrible, the roadway was rough, then all of sudden  when I thought I couldn't walk another step the terrain turned clear and  easy.  Do I know you?  How did you know I was going to be here?"  He  replies with confident assurance, "We have a book that has every name  written in it, of every resident who lives here.  I'm sure you have a  lot of questions.  I will be glad to answer any of them for you."  


His  face shined with a reflection of love, care and concern.  His eyes  seemed to look right through me as if he knew how difficult my journey  had been.


Puzzled I asked, "How do you know me?  Have we met  before?"  Softly he answered, "Yes, we've met before.  Shall we go?"  He  points to walk onward.  Once again he smiled.  This time his face  showed a sense of compassion.  His hand touched my shoulder and in an  instant I felt more love than I had ever been shown or experienced in my  entire life.  I sensed a connection from deep within my heart unlike  any other in my lifetime. 


 As we walked together I started to speak and  ask him how he knew all about me, about my journey, my trials and  tribulations, but before I could utter a word I knew he "felt" my  questions.  His spirit bare witness with mine.  He spoke to my  spirit..."I know about your difficult journey to the "Land Of Sacrifice"  because I planned your itinerary.  I knew you would take the road to  the "Land Of Control" first...most people do.


Once again he looked at me and at once I felt peaceful  and at ease.  He spoke with compassion as he continued, "So I devised  and made the cliff that was your dead end.  I provided you such a  journey to make sure you would arrive here.  However, it was you who  determined if you would begin  the journey, how long the trip would take  and how rough your roadways would become.  I never took away your free  will nor your freedom to choose.  Everyone has their own journey.   Everyone has their own hardships leading to and through their path of  experiences."


He paused and allowed me to recount my journey in  life.  I remembered my experiences as cause and effect, for it was my  experiences in life that had brought me to and through the "Land Of  Sacrifice." 


 In reflection I realized the most important sacrifice I had  made was simply to surrender my fear.  I wondered if everyone on earth  had to go through these difficult cause and effect learning  experiences.  He went on to explain, "For some their journey homeward  includes difficult battles, disease, giants, trials and tribulations of  major proportion, as well as unseen principalities and powers.  Their  dead end may have been an endless body of water to cross, or a fire so  intense the heat could be felt for miles. 


Everyone has warnings.  I left a plan of instructions,  the Bible, unfortunately many never look upon its pages.  I am glad you  did, for it drew you near me.  Everyone has signs that point them in  the right direction.  But many times people are too busy fighting their  inner demons, or their fear covers up the signs of direction and they  never see them. 


 It is by faith that your path clears and the signs are  visible.  Your faith does the work towards the pathway to spiritual  transformation, renewal, trust and progress.  Without faith it is  impossible to arrive.  Faith is always a catalyst to change.  


Those who  choose the opposite faculties of control, doubt, negativity and fear in  life, do not heed the dead end or the many warnings.  It is then that  they end up for eternity in the "Land Of Endless Self Destruction."  As  we were still walking I pondered the idea of an eternity of endless self  destruction.  That sounded like "HELL" to me.  He immediately replied..."It is."


WELCOME TO THE LAND OF 

ETERNAL SERENITY  


It was at this time that I noticed a very large white sign with the words, "WELCOME TO THE LAND OF ETERNAL SERENITY,"   written in big red bold  letters.  Underneath and in smaller print was  written, "All your taxes and penalties have been paid."  I turned and  looked into His eyes as a deep sense of gratitude over whelmed me.   Tears ran down my checks, my voice cracked with emotion as I tried to  speak, "I do know you.  No ones journey or cross to bear held such  unbearable weight, nor was as difficult as yours.  It was you who paid  the taxes and penalties of sin for all humanity.!


It is because of your loving sacrifice, that I am  here...in heaven, the land of eternal serenity."  Falling at his feet I  declared with thankful tears of joy, "You are the Messiah, Jesus Christ,  my blessed Holy Savior and friend.  


By your loving kindness you saved  my life!  By your mercy and grace you planned my life's journey,  shinning light in the darkness.  How can I ever repay you?  How can I  ever show my humble gratitude and thanks?"   


With a  soft smile He whispered to my spirit, "My thanks has come by your  arrival."  


Now basking in the majestic glory of His loving presence, and  the bliss of peace and joy in the "Land Of Eternal Serenity,"  I was  thankful for my God ordained sacred journey home.     ____________________________

John 3:16-21, "For God so Love the world that He gave  His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have  eternal life.  (17)  God did not send His Son into the world to  condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.  (18) Whoever  believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands  condemned already because He has not believed in the name of God's one  and only Son.  (19) This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,  but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds where evil.   (20) Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the  light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.  (21) But whoever lives  by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that  what He has done has been done through God. 


If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, please take time to gleam the knowledge of the truth in His word, the Holy Bible.  Seeded, and delivered to all humanity,  The sum of His word is truth! = Psalm 119:160.

  I THINK I AM SAVED, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM NOT SO SURE. HOW DO I  KNOW IF I AM "REALLY" SAVED? HOW DO I KNOW IF JESUS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN  ME OF MY SINS?   


 If you by faith believe in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection  providing sin's atoning sacrifice,  and asked Him into your heart -  repenting of your sins, you "are" saved by our Holy Father's grace,  mercy, and love.  Romans 10:10, "For it is with your heart that you  believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess  and are saved.  


As the Scripture says, 'Anyone who trusts in Him will  never be put to shame.'"    I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. -  Luke 13:3 (NKJV)    "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to  all who obey Him." - Hebrews 5:9 (NKJV)   "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son  of God, that you may know that you have eternal life..." -  1 John 5:13  (NKJV)     


As Christians we perceive our fallen nature and realize our lost  spiritual condition, in need of our Heavenly Savior's grace, mercy, and  love...    ...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. -  Romans  3:23 (NKJV)   If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is  not in us. - 1 John 1:8 (NKJV)    For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of  yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should  boast. -  Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV)   


Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under  heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (NKJV)  And  having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all  who obey Him. - Hebrews 5:9 (NKJV)    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that  whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -  John 3:16 (NKJV)             


  I WAS BAPTIZED WHEN I WAS A BABY, DOES THAT MEAN I AM SAVED?   


 No, being baptized as a young baby, toddler, or child, does not  guarantee you are saved. You have to personally ask and receive Jesus  Christ into your heart, repent of your sins, and in faith, believe His  death and resurrection as God's lamb of sacrifice, provided for your  salvation.


 For detailed information on how to accept God's free gift of  salvation, please visit our website page: "A Free Gift"   


IS BEING BAPTIZED A REQUIREMENT TO BE SAVED BY JESUS CHRIST? 

  

 No. However, those who are saved will seek to be baptized. I use the  following example, "If you asked Jesus Christ into your life and died  immediately after you said the prayer of salvation, you would still go  to heaven."  


Some people quote John 3:5, to confirm the requirement of  baptism, "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter  the kingdom of God." But clearly, as we look unto all scripture we  quickly see, baptism is good, however, it is "not" a prerequisite  for  salvation.  


Here are some additional scriptures pertaining to baptism:  "Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter  and the rest of the apostles, 'Men and brethren, what shall we do?'"  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized  in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall  receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." - Acts 2:37-38 (NKJV)    



CHRISTIAN'S SHOULD SEEK TO BE BAPTIZED, AND FOLLOW GOD'S WORD, WILL, AND  WAYS ...    


"Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of  the Lord." - Acts 22:16 (NKJV)    "... do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ  Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him  through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead  by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of  life." - Romans 6:3-4 (NKJV)   "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many  of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." -  Galatians  3:26-27 (NKJV)


  "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all  things to the church, which is His body." - Ephesians 1:22-23 (NKJV)  "And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." -  Acts 2:47 (NKJV)      

  


  HOW IMPORTANT IS GOD'S WORD IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN?

   

 AS CHILDREN OF GOD, WE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL AND OBEDIENT TO GOD'S WORD -  WHICH IS FILLED WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM.  YOU HAVE TO READ GOD'S  WORD, IN ORDER TO FOLLOW GOD'S WORD. AS SUCH, GOD'S WORD IS "VERY"  IMPORTANT, FOR GOD IS HIS WORD - JOHN 1:1. 


   "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to  all who obey Him." - Hebrews 5:9 (NKJV)   "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,  and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love  Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but  the Father's who sent Me." -  John 14:23-24


  "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have  kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love." - John 15:10  (NKJV)  


 "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son  of God, that you may know that you have eternal life..." -  1 John 5:13  (NKJV)    "...you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise  for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  


All Scripture is  given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for  reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man  of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2  Timothy 3:14-17 (NKJV)     

      



HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO REPENT OF MY SINS?   


 Everyday...for we die daily to sins fallen nature.  As Christians we  perceive our fallen nature and realize our lost spiritual condition, in  need of our Heavenly Savior's grace, mercy, and love...    "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -  Romans  3:23 (NKJV)   


"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is  not in us." - 1 John 1:8 (NKJV)   "Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness." -   1 John 3:4 (NKJV)  


 "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins  have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear." -  Isaiah 59:2  (NKJV)      


AS CHRISTIAN'S, HOW IMPORTANT IS OUR FAITH ACCORDING TO GOD AND HIS WORD?  

 

 WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD !


 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to  God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who  diligently seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)  "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." -  Romans 10:17 (NKJV)


FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.  


"But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is  dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered  Isaac his son on the altar?  Do you see that faith was working together  with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture  was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to  him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God. You see  then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 


Likewise,  was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the  messengers and sent them out another way? 


For as the body without the  spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." - James 2:20-26  (NKJV)      


AS A CHRISTIAN, DO I HAVE TO WITNESS AND TELL OTHER'S ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?   


 TRUE CHRISTIAN'S WILL "WANT" TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST AND SIN'S  SALVATION REDEMPTION PLAN, SO THAT THEY TOO CAN KNOW OF GOD'S GRACE,  MERCY, AND LOVE, AND LIVE ETERNALLY IN HEAVEN WITH OUR HOLY FATHER,  SAVIOR, AND FRIEND.      


 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess  before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him  I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 10:32-33  (NKJV)     

AS CHRISTIANS, WILL WE BE JUDGED WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN?


   

 YES, WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED BY GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WORD FOR THE LIFE WE  HAVE LIVED (ACTS 17:31; ROMANS 2:16; MATTHEW 16:27; JAMES 2:12;  REVELATION 20:12-15).   


 Therefore, We are to be diligent to present our self approved to God, a  worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of  truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)   


We are told to be faithful until death,  and by doing so, we will receive the crown of life. - Revelation 2:10  (NKJV),


          

God leads us and guides us in all our ways, when we lean and trust in Him with all our heart. - (Proverbs 3:5-6).


 "And they that understand among the people shall instruct many...(Daniel 11:32-33)."
