Religious titles Pastor, Bishop, Cardinal, Reverend, abbot, Very Reverend, Vicar, President, Doctor, Father, Archbishop, Pope, Prophet, Doctor etc mean anything for God?

 The early Christians utilized regular terms such as "brother," "beloved," "fellow-worker," "laborer," "slave," "servant," "prisoner," "fellow-soldier," and "steward." obviously, there were prophets, teachers, apostles, evangelists, leaders, elders, and deacons within the first churches but none were not used as formal titles for individuals. There were many Priests in the Old Testament and none of them were called Father so and so, deacon so and so and pastor so and so…etc. The early Christians referred to each other by personal names Timothy, Paul, Titus etc. Sometimes they were  called by describing an individual's spiritual character or work: "Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 6:5); "Barnabas, a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith" (Acts 11:24); "Philip the evangelist" (Acts 21:8); "Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus" (Romans 16:3); "Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you" (Romans 16:6) .

 Vain Religious Titles and religious Positions   feed the pride of men, it inflates one's ego, to control individuals, in this manner inciting church pioneers to respect themselves. The Lord's people do not need titles granted by men as a sign of theological authority to teach, to instruct etc.

The spiritual things come from the Lord through the Holy Spirit, and not through the schools of men, or famous university not one's educational achievements.

  Jesus said the Holy Spirit would be our counselor, helper, who would teach us all things(John 14:26).  1 John 2:27  says that the anointing that abides inside of us will teach us about everything and that we would have no need for man to teach us. 

In Proverbs 1:23 it teaches us that God will reveal His words unto us after the Spirit is poured out upon us. 

 These titles and Positions detract from the glory that rightfully belongs to Jesus Christ alone.  These Religious people are called to be humble servants of the sheep (1 Corinthians 3:5; 4:1; 2 Corinthians 4:5), not lords who reign over their fiefdom (1 Peter 5:3). These titles tend to attract carnal and power-seeking men to positions of church leadership. religious clerical system that promotes power, prestige, and self-exaltation (as opposed to the humble servant-model of Jesus presented in Mark 10:35-45 and John 13:3-17), such a system will repeatedly attract men seeking such power and prestige. Honorific titles tend to promote an elitist attitude and authoritarian forms of church leadership. Even the best of men can find self-glorifying titles intoxicating and begin to form lofty In Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Every believer is a minister and priest before God with authority to do the work of ministry (1 Corinthians 14:26; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:5,9; Revelation 1:6).

Scripture says that they are to humble themselves and begin to view their ministry in terms of servanthood, not lordship (Mark 10:35-45; 1 Peter 5:3). Remember Jesus Christ humbled himself and took the humble position of a slave. He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:6-8). Respectfully, No one spiritually is your father except Jehovah God himself. All these titles exalts men and not God.  God condemns pride, self-exaltation, and vain display and God finds it as an abomination (Proverbs 16:5, 18).

Each of us has free and direct contact and fellowship with God through Christ. We are all priests (1 Peter 2:5, 9; Revelation 1:6). We are all sons of God (Galatians 5:26, 29). We are all one in Christ (Galatians 3:28). We all have access to God through Christ (Ephesians 2:18). 

We are all servants of God (Romans 6:16, 18, 19, 22). “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5b). John 14:16 says “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

The Holy Spirit will teach you everything you need to know to live successfully and victoriously for Christ! 

Thank you Jesus!

I thank God for what he has done for me and my family. I also thank for my wonderful parents who have taught me good things and always helped me to walk in Godly path. It’s my sincere desire that everyone seeks God and study his word because God communicates His ways and His thoughts through His word. I am not condemning anyone for their sins, for the Gods word condemns all of us as being guilty before God.Jesus came to set us free with the curse of the Law and give to us eternal life. We are commanded to rise up and stand against the evildoers and workers of iniquity (Psalm 94:16).We need to truly repent for our sins and turn away from sins and follow Godly path by obeying Gods word and his commandments in everything we do to achieve success in every area of our life. Jesus said “"You are my friends if you do the things that I command you. I will not now call you servants; for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends: because all the things I have heard from my Father I have made known to you”.

God calls everyone to serve him but he gives us the choice to accept Him or reject Him.

I hope and pray for many others to come to know Jesus as Lord in their lives!

                         May God bless all of you as you seek him!

God Is In Control And Let God Be God!

Summary: God is in charge of everything that occurs known to man, at that point He is in charge of everything that occurs in your life also.

God is in charge of everything that occurs known to man, at that point He is in charge of everything that occurs in your life also. This world is frequently assaulted by otherworldly powers that are not from God yet from Satan. Their power is constrained and transitory.

Some erroneously accept that God's Sovereignty shows He is the Author of wickedness and can't be trusted in light of the fact that he permits such devilish things to be sustained on humankind. We should recollect that God in His incomparable authority has permitted Satan to be the "lord of this world," (II Corinthians 4:4) and Satan is the person who has come to "slaughter, take, and devastate." (John 10:10) The Scriptures are evident that individuals are answerable for their own decisions and activity, or else God would be nothing more than a puppet master controlling every decision of a person.

For example, the scriptures says James 4:7 “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” If a person did not submit to God, Satan would be free to work in that person’s life and even influence that person to do evil.

II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” God is not sending a person to hell and to blame God because a person rejects grace and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is ridiculous. God loves them and is patient to delay judgment to give them an opportunity to repent.

James 1:12 “Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.” When a Christian commits a sin he cannot declare that God was “in control” and that is the reason I failed.

We see in Job,Satan came to God and, in effect, said, “Job only serves you because you protect him.” So God gave Satan permission to do certain things to Job but no more (Job 1:6–22). Could Satan do more than that? No. God is in control over Satan and his demons who try to thwart God’s plans at every step.

Satan knew from the Old Testament that God’s plan was for Jesus to come to the earth, be betrayed, crucified and resurrected, and provide salvation for millions, and if there was any way to keep that from happening, Satan would have done it. If just one of the hundreds of prophecies about the Messiah could have been caused by Satan to fail to come to pass, the whole thing would have collapsed. But the numbers of independent, “free will” decisions made by thousands of people were designed by God to bring His plan to pass in exactly the way He had planned it from the beginning, and Satan couldn’t do a thing about it.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Proverbs 19:21

In the book of Genesis, we see Joseph wondered the same thing. He was Beaten and left for dead by his brothers. Sold into slavery. Falsely accused of rape and imprisoned. How could God allow all this to happen to someone who did nothing?

Joseph’s path, painful as it was, led him into the service of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. There, he used his God-given gifts of administration and the interpretation of dreams to save both the people of Egypt and the patriarchs of the people of Israel from ruin by famine.

We can imagine that from Joseph’s perspective, he was an innocent victim of evil which he did not deserve. From God’s perspective, that evil was putting Joseph on the path toward becoming a savior and father of a nation.

Romans 8:28 sums up the moral of Joseph’s story this way: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

What Joseph’s brothers meant for evil, God meant for good. And He accomplished that good for Joseph and all of Israel because He is sovereign.

Sometimes we may feel that God is asleep and the wicked are going to prosper forever, but no one can escape death, and after that the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Remember God saves us according to our faith and our deeds not a group or church. We see many people around us who have immersed themselves in their egos, arrogancy, anger, and have rejected the knowledge of God. Proverb 21:2: People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart. That is the powerful Scripture.

No one has the power to absolve our sins Only Jesus Christ. 1st Timothy 2:5 plainly states that only Jesus Christ is a Mediator between God and men. God is omnipotent, good, and He has made a way of escape through the gift of His Son. God gave us His Son, so that mankind could brutally beat Jesus, spit upon Him, verbally degrade Him, humiliate Him, falsely accuse Him, rip His flesh off, drive a crown of thorns into His head, mock Him, make Him naked, laugh at Him, gossip about Him, assassinate His good name, and ultimately crucify Him on a cross. God allowed wicked men to do that to the Son of God, so that our sins could be pardoned and we could be redeemed back to God.

God knows what we need best and let God be God. All we have to do is trust him with all our mind, heart and soul, believe him, love him truly and seek him first and put Him first in our lives. We Know Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He is our God and Saviour!.

God will spare America for the few Righteous sake!

By SHaila Touchton 1. Reasons why Gods wrath upon us: God has blessed our nation but He will also punish it for turning away from Him. Because of lack of Godly values and families, there is a tremendous increase in sins for which Gods wrath is upon us. Many of so called Christians are living a double standard, professing truth but still walking in disobedience, desensitized to sin and rejecting Godly values. Many of us are living in constant rebellion and disobedience against the Will of God by justifying our sins. Our society is number one in the world for Divorce and remarriage ,breaking ups of the traditional families, Single parent families, severe persecutions of true Christians, Unmarried couples living together, adultery, sex predators have increased, Scammers, thieves and fraudsters, crime of every type is rampant, sexual immorality like homosexuality, immodesty, Profanity , Lewdness ,internet sex crimes,sex outside marriage ,premarital sex ,pornography, prostitution, nakedness, Sex saturated media such as T.V., VCR’s and video movies, occult role playing games, Rock music, Hip-hop music, Country music, with its themes glorifying alcohol and those `cheating and immoral songs, Bombings ,Euthanasia, Godless public school teaching, Alcoholism , occult and pagan practices such as Halloween etc, drug addiction, gambling, fornication, cursing and blasphemy of God, child abuse, violent crimes even child pornography, we export our violence and immorality to other countries through our sleazy movies and television programs, encouraging young girls to be sexual promiscuous and as a result they have become lesbians. By kicking God, The Holy Bible , prayer and Patriotism out of the public schools, and society we have invited the Devil and its principles. We speak foul language and call it as a freedom of speech, we have encouraged everything that is pervert and sinful .Many of us have accepted all these sinful lifestyle as normal in our society. Many of our churches are filled with carnal preachers, false ministers and church members who preach false gospel and false doctrines that make the sinners to feel comfortable in their sins instead of reproaching and reproving and bringing them to Godly repentance. Jesus taught the greatest commandment, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind but we have removed God, school prayers and praying in public. As a result our schools have no moral teachings and have abandoned moral principles introduced sex education and perverted education at the very early age of children’s life . we have violated the Ten Commandments and now we are high in top offences and such as Robbery, gun shooting, school shootings, terrorist attacks, Race war, all types of school violence ,rape, Gang warfare, murders, Vandalism, corruption ,suicides, teen pregnancies, sexual diseases. Prisons are overcrowded in our society, sexual harassment, alternative lifestyles and all types of abuses. All these have contributed to our economic collapse, unemployment, sickness and diseases etc and many more reasons have resulted for God judging our nation. We are rejecting the laws of God and accepting the laws of men. We have broken all of God’s laws, and there is a price to be paid for doing so. Before it’s too late we need to wakeup. We are so prideful and are quick in defending and justifying our bad lifestyles and the Bible does say “Pride goeth before destruction. Our society defines immorality as a freedom but Gods word says that “For you have been called to live in freedom. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.”(Galtiaons 5:13) Freedom in Christ means it’s not a freedom to do whatever or however we wish rather, we are free from sin so that we may obey God (Roman 6:17-19) 2. God can save America: America can still have a Hope. Only God can save America, but we people of America must repent. Isaiah 55:6-7 reminds us that He tells us to repent and forsake our wickedness and turn towards God. God will have compassion on us and pardon our sins. We need to genuinely repent for our sins and forsake our sins and turn towards God, He can save us, he can save our nation. We need to cry out to the Lord on our knees everyday and take his refuge. We all Need to stand up in prayer for our families, families of others and for our society and nation. Definitely God can save us because of few righteous. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Yes God can save us. We need to fear God and walk according to his ways by correcting our lives. Even if few righteous pray for our nation God will restore America. 3. God hears the righteous: Genesis 18:26 says The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." 1 peter 3:12:For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Psalm 34:17:The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. Psalm 145:19:He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Romans 5:19:For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. James 5:16:The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Through Prayer, God has appointed for our receiving mercy, and obtaining grace to help in time of need. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16 4. Prayer for America! I plead the Blood of Jesus on our President and our Government and Military leaders and for them to make wise and Godly decisions. I pray that our society may become one in goodness and truth and acknowledge you and walk in your ways. Lord, I cover myself and everyone in my country with the blood of Jesus Christ. I cover my country with the Blood of Jesus Christ and may the economy of our country be restored. Help us to repent for our sins with Godly sorrow and may all the people of this country turn back to our savior Lord Jesus Christ so that our sins are forgiven. Comfort and Bless all the people who have no jobs and who are undergoing trials. I now Plead the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ as a Bloodline around my entire country and protect our people from all sickness, diseases, any natural accidents, disasters, calamities, terrors, terrorists, wicked ways, every power of darkness, the spirits of rebellion and disobedience, from all moral corruptions and from all unrighteousness, from all kind of evils and immorality. Lord Jesus please keep peace, Joy, harmony ,happiness and Godliness in my country and May the people who are dwelling in this land may be safe by following your commandments, by Seeking first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness. I believe that the Lord will cover my country and its people with his feathers and that under his wings my country will find refuge in the name of Jesus and I believe that the Precious Blood of Jesus will always protect my country and all its people from Gods wrath. I believe Lord will do greater things in my country according to his will through his blessings. Amen Note: I ask all genuine Christian believers to dedicate their time for praying for all families of America, American leaders, society, Government, Police officers and their families, Military and those who need help. God bless you all.

Many will loose their faith at the End days!

By Shaila Touchton Jesus is the source of our faith. Our faith comes from hearing the message of Gods word. Faith is trusting God in everything. In the end times many will turn their backs on God because anti-Christ will be everywhere preaching and manipulating everyone that God doesn’t exist. The Bible tells us that in the last days people will fall away from faith because they seek for the knowledge and wisdom of mankind instead of that of the Lord. It is happening all around us. Wrong is now right in the eyes of many people because they seek to please the flesh, and they do not seek to please the Living and Holy God. One cannot please God and man at the same time, for God is a Holy and where He dwells Sin cannot enter, and that is why we need the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sins so that we may come before the Holy God. People are going to go from bad to worse. Society is going from bad to worse. Even in the church there will be some who aren't what they claim to be. We see some of this among our churches even now, Many so called Christians are Living Idolatrous worldly Lifestyles, many ignore the homeless, sick ,widows and the orphans. Many will abandon their faith at the end days because of deceiving spirits, doctrines of demons,hypocrisy,ungodliness,bad lifestyles and bad relationships, Godless laws,afflictions,sickness,hurt,misery etc whatever may be the reason when we face any obstacles we should not loose our faith in Christ. 1 Tim. 4:1-3 says Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth” As the end days are near, we are near to second coming of Christ since we do not know the day or the hour of Christ’s return. He comes to Judge the world. We must draw ourselves nearer to the living God, our Lord Jesus Christ by standing firmly on Jesus Christ as our strength and the rock of our salvation. Otherwise we will crumble and life will be tough. In Matthew 24:42-44 Jesus tells us to be ready and alert.” Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come… So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him" . Even though its difficult stay focus on our prayers, because of the distraction of the world, our enemy we can still overcome this world by keeping our mind on Christ and praying fervently with supplication of prayers at all time. We must have strong will and good self control to keep away from worldly stuff. James 1:22-25 says do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does" Proverbs 25:28 says like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control”. When we walk with the Lord, we get many trials and tribulation because God tests us to see whether we still follow all of His ways and all of His commandments. When our faith gets weaker during trials our relationship with Christ becomes weaker and we loose the battle. But when we trust Jesus with all our heart and mind by having a strong faith we will be victorious at the end if we have little patience. Always remember for we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Habakkuk 2:4 says "But the just shall live by his faith." Hebrews 10:23 says Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. We must put faith in action in any type of trial. Scriptures say Caleb, Noah, Stephen and Abraham walked with great faith in the midst of trials and became victorious and overcomers in the Lord because of their strong and unwavering faith. It’s always better to walk with God's divine guidance and divine protection in our life .Without him life gets complex and meaningless and worthless eventually loosing battle and our enemy will win. Conclusion: when we choose the path of faith in Christ, our faith will be tested. We must not give up our Faith when we face any adversity, conflicts, trials and tribulations .we must have a solid faith without wavering or doubt. God is always faithful and will rewards us for our faith.

Prayer for Israel!

Prayer for Israel! By Shaila Touchton Satan hates God's people since from the beginning of the world. This is why Israel is so hated around the world. The Bible calls Israel the apple of God's eye..."For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." —Zechariah 2:8 Prayer for Israel’s Protection. Heavenly Father, In Jesus mighty name I pray for protection and blessings on the nation of Israel and its people. I Pray for the protection of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from all confusion, dangers, and from all harm, surround him with wise counsel and men and women of moral integrity to make wise and Godly decisions. Father God, I pray for the peace of ISRAEL and Jerusalem. I cover the the Blood of Jesus on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Government and Military leaders of Israel. Lord, I cover everyone in the nation of Israel with the blood of Jesus Christ. I now Plead the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ as a Bloodline around the entire country of Israel and protect all the people from all sickness, diseases, disasters, calamities, terrors, terror attacks, every power of darkness, the spirits of death and destruction from all unrighteousness and from all kind of evils people coming against them. Lord Jesus please keep peace, Justice ,Joy, harmony ,happiness and Godliness in the country of Israel and May the people who are dwelling in that land may be safe by following your commandments, by Seeking your kingdom and righteousness. The light of God surrounds Israelites, the love of God enfolds them, the power of God protects them and the presence of God watch over them for they are your chosen people and apple of your eye. Bring peace and comfort to all those who are suffering as a result of terror attacks and persecutions. Father, I pray ,you prevent the destructive forces of terrorism directed against Israel nation and Provide complete protection from evil attacks and stop the aggressors that attempt to bring destruction to the nation of Israel and its people in the Mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Father God, Command your angles to guard them and keep them in all their ways and deliver them from their enemies and remove nuclear capability from their midst and protect Israel’s borders and rescue their soldiers and their families from every trouble, distress, fears and from every plague and illness. For I ask all this in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

Biblical Evidence for the Rapture!

By Shaila Touchton Scriptures says that God saves his people during all kinds of trouble and tribulation .God will pour out his wrath upon the evil of the world. The wrath of God is because of human sins and disobedience. The tribulation period is compared to the times of Noah and Lot by Jesus in Luke 17:28. Jesus said in Mathew 24:42-44, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come... So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. Scriptural Evidence for the Pretribulation Rapture: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2: Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ[a] had come. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin[a] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God[b] in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 1 Thessalonians 1:10:And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thes. 4:15-17: According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thess, 4:16-18:"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 1 Cor. 15:51-53:"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. Hebrews 11:5: By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Mark 13:32-37: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” Matthew 16:28:"Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." Matthew 24:40-41: Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left .Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Matthew 24:42-44, “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:31-32: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[a] angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Matthew 25:33-34:And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 1st Corinthians 15:20, 23, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept... But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” 1 Corinthians 15:52 :In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. Jude 1:14-15:14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Revelation 19:11-14:Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had[a] a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,[b] followed Him on white horses. Daniel 9:24:24 “Seventy weeks[a] are determined For your people and for your holy city,To finish the transgression,To make an end of[b] sins,To make reconciliation for iniquity,To bring in everlasting righteousness,To seal up vision and prophecy,And to anoint the Most Holy. Daniel 9:25:25 “Know therefore and understand,That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street[a] shall be built again, and the wall,[b] Even in troublesome times. Isaiah 26:20:Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.

Kiss of Love or Lust?

Demonstrators who are supporting 'kiss of love' campaign are ethically and morally wrong. They are morally illiterate who have no idea about the Indian culture and are blindly importing the values from one society and impose on another society. It’s against of Indian culture, traditions and moral values. Kissing in Public has desecrated the institution of marriage, making a mockery of chastity, commitment and holiness. It's a shame what is going on in India today and how liberals are thinking and confusing the act of lust exaggerated in its expression as an act of Love. Kissing was never considered offensive or as a disrespectful in India. Kissing our Children’s, siblings, parents are considered as a display of love which no one has any problem. But a Day dedicated publicly will become offence and deteriorates morally because kissing our spouses in public is considered to be erotic. The people who support such campaign are immature, lacking self esteem, and dwelling in insecurites.They are old enough to differentiate to understand Love and lust and being against societal norms. When someone goes against societies norms, childrens and others respectable families will around them feel uncomfortable ,embarrassing and disrespectful. Many corrupted people are adapting the western culture forsaking the beautiful culture of India .There is nothing wrong to adapt the western culture if it is appropriate and have standards of morality. I am really surprised and amazed why many youngsters are attracted to bad rather than good stuff. Those who hate these inappropriate values are wrongly labeled as haters, do not have modernism, ignorant bigots. Love that lacks of trust, honesty, respect, support between each other is not love, it is simply a lust. Kisses in places where there are others can be seen as a form of boasting of a love that may simply not be there. One can think that the couple is extremely in love but truth is that they may be faking it to get peoples attention and making a way for others for temptation. They give the impression that they are capable of having everything in front of everyone. I am not condemning anyone For Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts corrupting morals, not been able to understand right or wrong and good or bad. It's not only about tradition or culture but also the basic decency and respect. Public display affection lowers the Indian standards incrementally for which the tradition was kept over the decades will be ruined by few perverts and this type of behavior is unacceptable in public and not healthy for a society. If Kissing is allowed in Public, it will lead to fondling, etc before you know it, everybody wants more and more . The kissing in public ends up further physical intimacy and slowly turning to entertainment for others to see leading to ugly scenes and unwanted attention. And those people who are tempted by them find it difficult to control themselves physically and might indulge in a criminal way making a way for, bullies, mockers and criminals like predators, sexual abusers, molesters, rapists to increase. Everyone of us need to control our desires in holiness and honor and act the way we want behind the closed doors of bedroom with our life partners .If done outside bedroom it becomes a passion of lust not act of Love. Even animals don’t care about Public displays, they will do in front of anyone and anywhere. Those who encourage public kissing is behaving worse than the animals. Its shame and to be determined by the public's level of tolerance for immorality. It is part if who we are, respect and affection will help keep our marriage strong. So kissing in public doesn't make our relationship stronger but an opportunity for tempting others and being a bad example for children’s and families. We should also keep the future generations in mind .Many youngsters are supporting this champign must be able to differentiate right way or wrong way and to avoid falling into trap of confusion. Why cant they show the love and affection behind the four corners of the wall in their home not under the sun in front of all. What will children think when they are forced to witness couples kissing each other on the streets like animals? Its disgusting and form of a Deceptive affection, indecent act and lust that cannot make a relationship last. Love in Indian tradition is considered sacred, something which if you express publicly, it diminishes its value. Many Western people love our Indian Culture and are abandoning their views and adopting Indian views and traditions but we being Indian are fascinated by their culture and adapting our lifestyle to theirs. Even According to Indian law ,most of the charges against such act are bought under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Section 294 of the IPC states: Whoever, to the annoyance of others, (a) does any obscene act in any public place, or (b) sings, recites or utters any obscene songs, ballad or word, in or near any public place,shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both.

Millennium Kingdom of Jesus Christ!

The wall of the city had twelve foundations, On them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb The New Jerusalem has precious jewels and riches New city will include no temple, no sun, and no moon. Lord Jesus himself will be the light. He himself will be with them as their God Where all believers will dwell in the Lord's presence forever Societies will be based on the law of God and will be taught to all nations Tribulation martyrs will serve in God's temple Saint’s will be ruling and reigning And will enjoy perfect fellowship with him.

Making Thanksgiving Day Meaningful!

Thanksgiving Day means more than just turkey, pumpkin pie and football It’s a wonderful opportunity to thank God’s constant Goodness, mercy and His steadfast love. Thanksgiving Day means more than just eating, drinking and merry making. It’s a Wonderful Time to help for the World's Afflicted and Starving Poor. It’s about Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanksgiving Day is a time to gather in Lords House with family and friends for honoring and thanking God for the bountiful blessings He provides. It’s a day reserved to give thanks to God for the greatest gift of Jesus Christ Thanksgiving Day is not a day for greedy false preachers to make money for themselves. It’s a day to reach out less fortunate and witnessing Christ before others. Thanks Giving day is not just about spending on lavish unwanted things. But being thankful to God and others in the midst of hard circumstances and all kinds of trials. It’s a day to focus on God as the true source of all our blessings Thanks Giving Day is not about commercializing into a greedy business It’s a day to visit the sick and pray for them for their healing. Thanks Giving day should not be a place for throwing parties and wasting money. But it should be a day sharing the food with poor who are starving to death It’s a day to be reflective of God's gift of salvation. Thanks Giving Day should not be a place for worldly entertainment. But it should be about God's gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Thanks Giving Day should be about prayer, meditation on Gods word, Bible reading and saving lost souls. But it should be an opportunity to be humble, pray, repent and seek Gods face, and turn from the wicked ways. It should be a day to pray more diligently, to lead others in prayer, and to uplift the NAME OF Jesus Christ. Thanks Giving day should be a time to reflect and thank God for the coming of the Savior. It should not be an opportunity to persecute believers, to manipulate and twist the scriptures. Thanks Giving Day should be of many opportunities to Glorify God touch the lives of others and to avoid sin and temptations. It’s a day to be thankful to God for Good health, food, clothing, shelter, job, love and Good family and friends. Thanks Giving day should be the celebration for the proclamation of the Gospel, testimony of miracles and healings. It should not be an opportunity to make debts, spend money on materialistic things. Thanks Giving Day should be about Gods love and faith, changing our ways and getting closer to God. It should be a day to feed the poor, helping someone with a monetary gift, taking a meal to someone who is sick and encouraging others in a Godly path.

A Glimpse of Hell!

Hell is compartment inside the earth where persons soul goes to after they die. It’s a place of punishment for our rebellion against God Punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord And from the glory of his might It was created for the Devil and his angels God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell It’s a pit full of fire, to be burning there for ever It’s an absence of light, only darkness is left Its place of blackness of darkness forever It’s a bottomless pit an Everlasting burnings Where they can never repent and a place where they have no rest It’s the place of everlasting punishment It’s a furnace of fire where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth It’s a place where their breath will be a living flame A place from which the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and forever It’s the place where they drink the wine of the wrath of God Where unbelievers will never stop crying And whosoever was not found written in the book of life It is a place of separation from God, place of unsatisfied desires, place of vilest companionship, place of hopelessness, a place of suffering It’s a place of haunted by a bitter memory, where they do not want their loved ones to come It’s a place for e sexually immorals, idolaters, adulterers, men who practice homosexuality, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, swindlers. It’s a place for all those who reject Christ and live without God It’s the place for the wicked and all the nations that forget God It’s a place for all those who reject Christ and live without God God does not desire that anyone go to hell but that all come to repentance.

Hidden life with Christ!

Many people live in a strong delusion secretly following Christ yet deny him publicly. These people claim to be wholly resting upon Jesus Christ for salvation, while at the same time trying to please the world. This is so typical of deception and lies. Most people who profess to know God do not know God at all. They are double-minded who believe in Christ with lukewormness in their heart and constantly living in a state of compromise. Double minded person is one who say one thing and do another, they claim to know God and yet their actions do not live up to such claims. God's Word says that a double-minded man is "unstable in all he does." (James 1:8). The true Spiritled Christian is not going into compromise their fire and love for God. Matthew 6:24 says No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Exodus 34:14 says Our God is a jealous God and will not accept a service that is divided with Satan. Because those who serve two masters are unsteady, hypocritical ,double minded , wavering in both character and feelings and is always conflict to himself. They are not true believers in Christ and they have very nature of carnal mind and have cowardnesss which is enmity against God .They can not express the word of God truthfully without fear. Their lifestyles separate because of backsliding. Proverbs 14:14 says, "The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways. Jesus also expects us to preach the Gospel, which offends most false professed believers. To deny Jesus Christ is to deny God's Holy Spirit. 1st John 1:22,23 plainly state "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father ..but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." 2 Timothy 3:5 says they have a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof from such turn away. Conclusion: Anyone who is in Christ, they live for him alone and are obedience to Him. If we worship God in spirit and in truth, we cannot worship anyone or anything else (Matthew 4:10).

What type of Music does your Church has?

By Shaila Touchton Today’s world's churches are filled with perverted and corrupt gospels and doctrine of the devils. Their Music is Worldly, coming from human thoughts, philosophy and emotions which is chaotic and noisy Entertainers who are very deceitful in nature “ In the name of Praising God” . Their loud music is a physically and spiritually a distraction so much that one can not hear what they are singing or saying. I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all of us. In The Old Testament Singing, playing, and dancing were some of the music used to Praise God. They claim to worship best in with their rock/hippop concert environment which brings self attention and self-glorification which does not honour Christ .Their loud music distracts us from keeping our thoughts pure and focusing on God. when we hear to such music it doesn’t bring conviction to the lost nor becomes rejoice to the saved. In Ezekiel 28:13 says We know that Lucifer was created with an inbuilt music system so he is well equipped to deceive the world with unholy sounds. Such so called Christian bands are interested in making albums and making money out of it drawing attention to themselves rather than God. In some other churches the talented singer or musician performs music while the whole congregation sits and watches the performance instead of singing and praising God with together with hyms and psalms exalting God together. Their music glorifies the talented singer. Hebrews 2:12 says , “…in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” Notice the Bible says “sing” and not “listen. when people are simply sitting and listening to a choir or performer they are not obeying God's command to sing. They are not "offering the fruit of our lips(Hebrews 13:15). People are more interested in pleasing themselves, than pleasing God. Scripture commands not to make ourselves friends of the world and enemies of God (James 4:4) Many carnal Christians are in shame that the great hymns of the faith are often viewed as ancient and outdated for today's modern Christian. In scripture I John 2:16. God says that all that is in the world is not of the Father and falls under one of these three sinful categories the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.Romans 12:2 reads, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. There are various instruments used in Bible times such as harp, lyre ,lute , horn, or shofar ,the trumpet ,flute, pipe ,tambourine sistrum ,cymbals and bells . 125 Old Testament verses describe worshiping God by singing. Lets examine few Scriptures: Deuteronomy 31:19 - Write down this song ... put it in their mouths. 2 Samuel 22:1 - David spoke to the Lord the words of this song... 2 Chronicles 29:30 - Sing praise to the Lord with the words of David... Psalm 40:3 - He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God. Psalm 51:14,15 - My tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. Psalm 71:23 - My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you. Psalm 89:1 - I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness. Psalm 126:2 - Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing... Isaiah 52:8 - With their voices they shall sing together... 60 Old Testament verses refer to worshiping God by using instruments. Here is few scriptures what they say 2 Samuel 6:5,21 - Israel played before the lord on instruments. 1 Chronicles 23:5 - They praised the lord with instruments which David made for giving praise 2 Chronicles 7:6 - The Levites had instruments of music, which David had made to praise the lord. David offered praise by their ministry. 2 Chronicles 29:25 - The Levites were arranged with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps. This was commanded of the Lord. Psalm 43:4 - On the harp I will praise you. Psalm 68:25 - Singers went before, players followed after. Psalm 150:3-5 - Praise Him with the trumpet, harp, etc But in The New testament (John 16:13) we are commanded to worship God in spirit and in truth .We glorify God in our singing praises to His name by Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord(Ephesians 5:19). Colossians 3:16 says when we sing, we are to speak, teach, and admonish one another. So now my question is -What type of music your church is playing or encouraging?

Hindrances to prayer!

I believe that prayer iSometimes our prayers are not answered by God because of the obstacles that we created ourselves. Hindrances can come in many different forms, and in many different ways in our lives. We must realize how important it is to keep our lives right with God. 1. Unconfessed sin (Psalms 66: 18) and being unrepentant God hates sin hence if we love sin or excuse it, and cover it up God cannot answer our prayers. We must honestly confess our sins to god and others. 2. Unbelief (James 1: 6-7 ),3. Doubting (James 1:5-7) and insincerity Satan will attach our minds with doubt, unbelief, and questioning. We begin to doubt gods ability and his promises. We start thinking more and more about our problems or our challenges, and then our faith begins to diminish. The Apostle James said that when we doubt, we become double-minded and the double-minded man receives nothing he asks for from God because he is unstable in all of his ways 4. Not praying in Gods will When we have a selfish motive or wrong motives with wrong attitudes God denies answering our prayers. God will not answer our self-centered, selfish prayers. 5. Pride (Proverbs 16:5) and rebellion When we pray and ask for God's grace in a situation, pride will block it. When we are proud, we do not think we need God or anyone else. We need to be humble not only before God, but also in our relationships with other people. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry” (Psa. 34:15). 6. Self-Will and Disobedience(Ephesians 2:2) He is the one that disobeyed God, who rebelled against Him. God does not want His children to be disobedient. He wants to bless us! Disobedience is an evil spirit tries to keep us from God. He punishes His children for their disobedience (Heb. 12:5-6). 7. Wrong motives (James 4:2) and Pleasures God looks at our hearts, and when He see an impure motive, He cannot answer prayer. Having a pure heart that truly loves God and loves people is always an acceptable motive to the Lord. Worthless motives and intentions and selfish motives are another cause for unanswered prayer. 8. Not having proper relationship and improper behavior with wife God sees marriage as very holy and because He sees it that way, we must behave towards our spouses in a holy manner. This means we must respect, honor and love our spouses. Peter warned that men could hinder their prayers by failing to honor their wives God warns both wife and husband to obey God that their prayers be not hindered. The main responsibilities of man is to earn a living, disciplining children, winning the family to Christ, religious instruction in the home and the family. The man who shirks and avoids such responsibilities, leaving them for the weaker partner, sins before God and will have his prayers hindered. It is so very important that you raise your children with the Bible and teach them biblical truths from early childhood on. Family harmony is essential for answered prayers 9. Failure to pray in faith (James 1:6-7): Faith knows that God has heard and the answer is on the way. God moves in the spirit and gives us answer when we pray in faith. Prayer increases faith and brings spiritual blessing in our lives when we are right with God. 10. Prayerlessness (James 4:2). God is waiting for us to make requests of Him in prayer. Our prayerlessness hinders God from working in our life and the lives of our loved ones. 11. Ungrateful (2 Timothy 3:1) People of godly character are thankful, always appreciative of what God does for them. we need to stay thankful in every situation, no matter how we feel. When God sees that we are thankful no matter what, He can answer our prayers. 12. Not knowing the power of prayer and Failure to Resist Satan: Many people fail to recognize the power of prayer and they go after many things blindly in the world seeking answers and they fail again and again. God always wants us to pray in everything in every situations but Satan hates when we pray to one true living God. He will find many ways to distract our prayer with God and we need to put the armour of God resist Satan and continue our communion with God through prayers. 13. Self-righteousness and hypocrisy Self-righteousness people are pretending to be righteous but inward they are filled with full of hypocrisy and iniquity .( Matthew 23:25-28). Luke 18:11-14 reminds us that we can look on others and see their sin so clearly and miss our own sins completely. This hinders our prayers. 14. Worshiping other gods or idols: many people worship many other false gods and idols and we are advised in Exodus 20:3-6, Deuteronomy 18:9-14 that we are not to worship false gods. We need to worship the true and the living God in spirit and in truth. This can hinder our prayers. 15. Not helping the poor We need to be compassionate and kind to the poor. Proverbs 21:13 reminds us that whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be heard. Satan would like for our love to grow cold. When we do not extend the love of God to the needy people like this, our prayers will be hindered. God is most interested in those who have been ignored and oppressed (Psalm 10:14) 16. Not giving Tithes & Offerings: We must always honor God with our tithe first. Because we refuse to give God His tithe which can cause hindrance to our prayers. We know that the Bible teaches consistent tithing and that a tenth of our increase should be given to God for the support of the ministry. Many people don’t give tithes and offering in a good and clean heart its like robbing God to give his part. The more we give to God, the more He will bless us in return. 17. Expecting God to do everything and not doing our part (2 Chronicles 31:20) We need to do our duties, our responsibilities faithfully what god has commanded us and the things that is impossible to us God will do it. Basically we need to do our best and leave to God to do the rest who is the in charge of life and death and everything in the world. There are some people who are lazy they hate to do their part but completely wait for God to come and do everything for them. They ignore the door of opportunities and resources God has given for them and they fail to do their part cause hindrance to prayers. 18. Lack of time: When we pray to God we can hear the voice of God in our hearts. But most of us all are so busy involved in worldly things and we never make ourselves free even for a minute out of 24 hours to pray to God with clean hearts. How sad it is? Everyone has the time to pray , we have time for watching TV, shopping, gym, cooking, working, other entertainment etc etc, but just no time for God.?s the most important thing in a Christian life and the devil would like no more than to hinder our prayer life.
