Jeremiah 29:11

For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you--an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

May God our Father & Jesus our King keep watch over all your ways through out this year. To guide & protect you by the Holy Spirit, whilst you walk in the blessing's of our forefather Abraham. That his Kingdom come, & his will be done here on earth as it is done in Heaven.

Amen

GOD IS LISTENING!

I would like 2 share with u a message that i was blessed by God 2 minister too, at my local church to a small gathering of Homeless & christian people one evening. It just so happend that i had forgotton that i was a guest speaker that nite, & i had not prepared myself or any message to preach.

Without my Pastors realising, I recall him asking me how my preperation for that evening was coming along..due to that i only had 2hrs before delivering it. Oh no, i forgot & my natural reaction was one of sudden shock & then fear. My mind began to race, as i had no idea how to respond to my Pastors question. My mind was racing, then i heard coming from my mouth..." Um, Pastor! i cant do it cause i forgot & i dont feel ready prepared or confident enough etc etc..."

Then within milli seconds, the Holy Spirit began 2 stir within me as i found myself overwhelmed with a real sence of " Yes i can! "...so then with such ease & confidence i then heard myself again...but this time saying these words " Pastor, i am ready in season and out of season! " My Pastor was blessed to here my new response to his question as a slight smile gently formed upon his face.

How many times have you faced a situation where you have prayed the prayer of " Oh Lord!..I ask you to use me to glorify thy name. Bless me to be a blessing to others by sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ etc etc" Then shortly after we forget we prayed that prayer and God presents you with an oppurtunity to share or help someone that you might find difficult getting along with? like a work collegue? or a neighbour who despises christians and thinks all christians are hypocrites?.

Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exageration about the neighbour or work collegue! but the truth is that God does desire to use you. And if you not ready like i was, you can get caught out with your pants down so too speak!

I was reminded ever so gently by the Holy Spirit that when God told me in his scriptures that " I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STENGHTENS ME! " He really meant it...and to prove that he meant it, he even had someone to write it down those many years ago in a book called the Bible,so that i would not forget it. How cool is that!

Wow...i haven't even got to the message that i wanted to share...Ha Ha Ha. Maybe ill do it in the next post, but i really feel it's important that each of us in the Body of Christ ENCOURAGE not Condem or force one another to be more mindful of God's will and not our own will. I have found a common theme in my walk with God, and that is that God loves me for who I AM. Nothing more, and nothing less. Someone once told me that God cannot love me any more or less than he does right now.

It's when you realise this simple truth of God's exceptance of you no matter where you are at in life emotionaly, spiritually or even physically. You find that God can & still wants you to share the Gospel to your fellow man who needs his love just like we need his love, mercy & grace. God's deepest desire is to heal and restore everyone & that includes you!... then he wants to " SHOW YOU OFF " as i would say, like a proud father wants too.

Ok, my next blg will be the message "GOD IS LISTENING"

JOHN 15:13

This Post is dedicated to my True Best friend Rinna!(aka Roo!) I have come to learn the true value of friendship from Rinna, and what it really means to lay down your life for a friend.I use to think that this scripture meant just in the literal sence like Jesus did for us on the cross. But the lord also showed me in this scripture back in 2007, that laying down your life is also being completely selflesss in your own hearts desires whether it be for Natural or Spiritual purposes for another person. Not just the willingness to die a Physical Death, but mostly to put someones elses need, desires and maybe even wants first before yourself. That's really what JESUS did for you and i. He not only gave up his Diety, but also his will to the Father which can only come from the heart and not from the Head. I thank God and thank Rinna, for showing & allowing me to not only be a recipient, but a witness this truth.

In our walk with God, we often encounter change which can result to ourselves being faced with Challenges from within the Heart that has been hidden for so long we forgotabout it, but God didn't... or maybe even STRONGHOLDS that the devil has built over years of conditioning in our flesh. I am reminded of the story with Israel when God delivered them from out of the Hands of Pharoah in Egypt. It was some time before Israel's mentality changed about there freedom from so many years of being in captivity, which in effect caused them to sin & rebel againts God's will.

For the past month or so i have had to endure a similar ordeal, whereby our enemy Satan lived up to his reputation as a roaring lion and the accusser of the Bretheren. I was so distracted with my past like Israel, i failed to see the Blesings and the Freedom i have been given by God through Jesus Christ.

If it wasn't for the Prayers of many and the unfailing support of my friend Rinna, i truely believe that the enemy could have quite possibly caused me to completely give up on God. Spirtitual friendship is important but so also is the natural that i thank God that Rinna so faithfuly portrayed & showed with the unconditional love of Jesus.

Rinna was fufilling part of God's will here on earth.... Being his Eyes,Ears,Hands & Feet. Revealing the true nature of God not just from the spiritual but the practical, which sadly i have found to be lacking in many christians lives & churches today. Most people feel either un comfartable around somebody who is going through trials or they are so full on in the spiritual counciling that often times that person can often be worse off than they did before.

There are many scriptures i could draw on to press this point across, like when the word says " Be quick to listen & slow to speak! " but this Post is really to encourage anyone who knows of someone facing tribulation in there walk to just BE A FRIEND!.....Yes! Jesus and God our Father is the only true source behind our deliverance and victory. But even God had to use People like Moses, Abraham and my Best Friend Rinna to guide & encourage his people.

Thank You Rinna for all your support & Love

May God Bless u & keep you in his perfect Will

In Christ 4 Eva

Amen

PART 3 (Pt 1 & 2 inside August Archive)

A fellow student whom i knew was a christian walked into the studio carrying his bible in his hand, already opend at a page. He looked at me with a stern look in his eyes & firmly said these following words...." I believe you are looking for God?"

Well, right then my heart nearly dropped to the floor as did my mouth half open with a look of unbelief and amazment confused into one. Having recoverd from my shock, he then proceded to read from the open part of his bible. Once again he spoke firmly as he began to read the following scripture to me.

" Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call "

I tried to hide my conviction and joy in my heart, but i suspect he recognised that the truth of God's word spoke profoundly into my heart because of my bewilderd look on my face. I could not believe that only moments earlier in the day, i was cussing God with 4 letter words & accusing him of not revealing himself to me!

So ok, it wasn't the grand appearance i was expecting from God, but somehow i knew what this christian man Thomas just spoke, was as if it was God himself speaking! He(Thomas) even had the nerve to say that i dont even have to come to his church! Which without him knowing, i had prayed many times to the then unknowen God that i dont trust churches and i dont want to be invited to go along and be just another number in there books!

2 weeks later i found myself attending this 40 - 50 strong pentecostal church in a local school hall hired out for sunday evenings. Leanne and i walked in sheepishly as we both witnessed the Joy and real sence of Love in the room. It was as if we walked into another time zone. Everyone was genuily nice with the biggest smiles i had ever seen. By the end of the sermon, which again seemed like it was God himself preaching at the front through a not so tall, solid build, suit wearing preacher.

He asked if anybody would like to be Born Again & before i even reaised what i was doing, my hand lifted up in acknowledgment to the request. Leanne was trying to persuade me not to, but i said to her i have to know this God they all know. I knew these people knew God and i wanted in....

That night i was Baptised with water in a strangers bath tub by full immersion as the Ps led me through the sinners prayer of confession. He then told me that he would lay his hands upon my head so that i to could recieve the promise of the Holy Spirit just as was read to me 2 weeks earlier by Thomas. Immediately i was baptised with the Holy Spirit & my mouth began to speak these funny words coming from within me, so i let them keep coming out like a gushing stream of water. This was my first experience of Speaking in tongues just as i heard everyone else doing in that same room as well as the diciples in the Upper room did when they were Baptised with the Holy Spirit.

I had the Biggest smile on my face and felt so light and clean! You could not wipe the smile of my face even if you tried. I was touched by God and suddenly i became aware of his presence and love! Leanne freaked out and refused for weeks to get Born again, but i just kept encouraging her as she watched how my whole behaviour and even way of speaking changed. Finaly one night she let me pray for her, and as i had one eye open i asked God to give her what he gave me and then " Bam!" she too was baptized in the Holy Spirit and begun to speak in tongues just as i did in the Bath Tub.

We were both crying tears of Joy and praising God loudly in this new language together. Not long after, i found out that Jesus died for our sicknesses as well as Sins..so that night i sat down with Leanne and i told her i want to see if Jesus would Heal her of Hept C, which still thiws day is incureable. She reluctantly said yes! so i put my hand on her head and asked Jesus to heal Leanne from her sickness. Nothing fancy, no scriptures, but just simple Faith.

We went to the doctors to have blood tests taken and sent away. A week later they returned with a negative result in her blood for Hep C. Could this be really happining and true? so we had more tests done incase they mixed up the blood or got the wrong reprts confused? Again they returned negative. Leanne was now completely set free from all her sins and sicknesses that the devil tried to keep on her.

As you can imagine, this was a powerful introduction to God's faithfulness to me and his desire to want to know me more. I continued on serving the Lord faithfuly, testifying and witnessing the accounts of my testimony which nobody could deny or call me a liar. I parayed for anything and everything that i could get my hands on, as God confimed with signs and wonders following!

All Glory unto God and Jesus Christ 4 ever and ever,

Amen!

TESTIMONY PART 2

I was resting on my bed while Leanne my then girlfriend was cooking dinner. When suddenly a thought entered into my mind that became increasingly overwhelming. The thought was loud and clear as if someone spoke it..."GOD" My body began to respond to this thought with my heart was beginning to beat faster as if I had just ran a marathon race. I was aware that I was becoming increasingly anxious, because this thought of "GOD" kept getting bigger & bigger in my mind. Before I knew it, I was running to the kitchen to tell Leanne
that I had to find God!

This deep inner desire overcame me to find God, but I had no idea where to find Him let alone how to? Leanne was concerned for my mental state due to my high drug usage, but I told her and everyone I came in contact with that I needed to find God.
I even rang my parents to tell them and asked whether or not our family belonged to a local church or something that will lead me to find God. I was informed that our family (even though like I said in Pt 1 of testimony, our family were not religious or practicing Christians...refer to Pt 1) belonged to the Anglican church and that I should talk to the Priest.

A lot of good that did!!.....The Priest didnt even know how to respond to my pleas of help to find God. All he could do was give me some religious mumbo jumbo which to me even I somehow sensed or knew that even this Priest didn't know 'God' like I thought he would know Him. I wanted to meet God and for him to reveal Himself! Because this thought and deep desire would not leave me from that time in my bedroom until I did. I didn't care how or where to meet Him...i just wanted to meet God!

For 2 weeks i went on a search for God, being very cautious of Christians and there freaky beliefs( I didnt want to be just another member of a church). But eventually i ended going back to the priest who i first spoke with prior. He spoke to me about fasting and suggested I try it to show God I was serious about finding Him. I was becoming disheartened and angry at this God i did not know! Why would He not show Himself to me? Why would He even disrupt my life when I was at a time where everything in my life seemed perfect!? Then He had to come along and turn it all upside down. Well, at least that's how it felt. Even Leanne was becoming frustrated with the whole God search and with me in particular. I even made her fast for 3 days with me, so that God would show himself?

By the 3rd day we were both weak from not eating (this was extremely difficult for Leanne & myself ) considering both of us liked our food, and neither of us had done anything like it before. This was the turning point for me! I was so weak and angry, that at lunch break I took Leanne and walked down to that Priest's church and decided I would give this God a good piece of my mind. Leanne waited in one of the seats as I went to the front of the altar and got down on my knees. I was so angry at God for turning what seemed my perfect life upside down. How dare He not revealing himself to me after all I had tried to do to meet Him!

I sobbed like a baby clinching my fists and venting my anger at Him. I think I might have even said some very x rated words at him just to show him how mad I was. Who are You God? What do You want with me? Why won't You show Yourself to me and Leanne? Were all the questions that were racing through my mind. I picked myself up from off the floor after what seemed like an eternity and left that church with a ***K you God in my heart.

Don't ever bother me again! When Leanne and I returned to the office (we were both studying Radio Broadcasting) I was sitting in the 'On Air' studio no longer than 10 - 15 mins after coming back from the church, when something else turned my world upside down again!

To be continued in Part 3 soon.....

PART ONE

It's been 3 months since I have started the SOULJAHS4CHRIST Blogsite and I am blessed with the response of many visitors world wide. I see the SOULJAHS4CHRIST blogsite as another media avenue to share about my faith and the Gospel of Jesus to all the Nations of the World....Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

In this post I would like to share with you my own Personal Testimony in 3 Parts, each being posted at different times! Hopefuly in the near future, i will have other Guest Speakers in the Guest Speaker Box which you will find further down the page!

I grew up in a small town in New Zealand in a disfunctional home of violence and rejection. As a child, fear & rejection became a fimiliar emotion that eventually it became apart of me & my character as i grew older. I grew up with a lot of emotional damage and with very little parental guidance and love. I knew deep down that my mother loved me, but she was no better off than I or my sibblings were.

Many things happend in my childhood to write about, but let's just say that the common theme was loneliness, anger & confusion. There was no religion or any christian teachings while i grew up. The only times I went to church was for weddings, funerals or baby baptisms. There were the odd occassions as a young boy when i would stay over at friends', and whose parents were Christians. I would have to go with them to church on sundays.

I remember thinking a lot from as young as maybe 6 or 7yrs old, what was life all for... I can also recall watching on TV every Easter, a 'Man' in a movie dying on some big sticks which would make me sad, and i would cry for no apparent reason. As a young rebellious teenager I left home without an education & mixed with all the wrong people from Gangs and Under World Crime Syndicates. Many of my associates and friends were either convicted rapists, murderers etc. Heavy alcohol,drugs,sex and violence were the normal things in my early teens & then again LATER IN MY LIFE! (You will understand that comment better in Part 2 of my Testimony)

At the age of 17 i was living with my girlfriend whom i had intended to marry. She was extremely beautiful & athletic, and we planned to spend the rest of our lives together! I was still a heavy drug user, but not so much with the alcohol! And because i had enough sense to seperate myself from the Gang culture, i was able to remove myself from all the violence too. I have seen things that i was too young to see, so i had to grow up fast in the REAL WORLD! Anyhow, now that i was with my girlfriend, i managed to suppress all of my childhood hurts. Then, one day when i was lying on my bed in my bedroom, something happened that would effect me for the rest of my life so much more than anything i have faced or been through... I would never ever be the same again for as long as i live......

CHINA WILL BE SAVED!

 

The following Post is an edited version of a letter I sent to my senior Pastor this week. The letter is about a Prophetic Vision that the Holy Spirit revealed to me 2 weeks ago, concerning the Nation of China. The reason I am sharing it with you,  is that I too hope that you the reader will also pray the vision of what God intends to do!

Victory Life Church

Osborne Park,

Perth

Western Australia

Dear,

Senior Pastor Margaret Court,

Two weeks ago in the Missions class with Ps Judy Saxby, we were asked to stand to our feet and pray for the Nation of China.

While I was yet still seated, I felt my Spirit stir within me with an anticipation. As I began to stand to my feet, The Holy Spirit began to show me a Vivid Picture of a Red Flag with 3 Stars & a Sickle in the Top Left Corner.

I began Praying in the Spirit with a Real sense of Urgency & Passion, whilst the Holy Spirit began to explain to me step by step the meaning of the Flag.

1: The 3 Stars represent the Trinity…. Father, Son & the Holy Spirit

2: The Sickle represents the Great Harvest

3: The Red Flag represents the Blood of Jesus

Continued:

The Holy Spirit began to explain to me clearly in the following order!

Firstly he (The Holy Spirit) will be poured out mightily upon the Nation of China. He will then prepare the way for Jesus. Then likewise Jesus will make preparations for the Father to come.

There will be a Great Harvest of over a Billion Souls…..The Holy Spirit said that this Harvest will Challenge the Western Church.

The Holy Spirit then declared that it is then, that The Blind will see & the Captives will be Set Free.

It was at the end of Prayer that the Lord told me to speak it out & declare it in class. Ps Judy agreed and there was an anointing on it as I spoke!

Note: A lasting impression the Holy Spirit gave me, was what he had just revealed too me was the End Result of God's mighty Redemption Plan for China’s Plan & Purpose for China!

I have not added to this letter any of my own Interpretations, but that only what the Holy Spirit shared and Revealed too me.

I have been thanking the Lord for The Answer to China’s Salvation by Praying out in Agreement with him exactly what he showed me. I believe that The Flag I saw, represents a NEW China under a New Spiritual Flag!

Pastor Margaret, I would never ask anything of the Church unless I felt it was of the Lord. If you feel the Lord is willing? Would it be possible for the Prayer Teams of the Church to join with the Holy Spirit to pray in agreement too?

Kind Regards

Mason

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

FOLLOW ME!

 

These day's the Title Name " CHRISTIAN " has sadly been Abused, Mis-used and Mis-represented. In the scriptures of the Holy Bible, there are only  2 accounts of the Title "Christian" ever being used.

1: Acts 26:28  Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost you persuade me to be a Christian.

2: 1 Peter 4:16  Yet if any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

The above scriptures are those 2 accounts of the Word Christian being used. The early church followers were at first not known as "Christians". There are studies to prove that the earlier church was known as " THE WAY".

It wasn't till much later that Non Believers began to see the Miracles that followed those who preached Jesus Christ & him crucified! And the message they preached of Jesus Crucified & with signs & miracles following as Jesus said would happen. Because, he would confirm the Message that his Followers would Preach with Healing Miracles & Deliverance from Demons!

So what does "CHRISTIAN" really mean? and what is the evidence of you being a Christian?I use SwordSearcher 4 a lot in my studies & the definition that I received was....

5546. Christianos... khris-tee-an-os'

from 5547; a Christian is a  follower of Christ

5547. Christos... khris-tos'

from 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:--Christ.

So if you go away and study this word yourself, you will come across these same references. The first ref declares a Christian is someone who is a follower of Christ (Paraphrased) But then the second ref that is also connected to the 1st ref states that you are also anointed!

Hmm....what could that possibly mean? Let's see what Jesus said in Luke 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has ANOINTED me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,Luke 4:19  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

 

Simply putting it!...Jesus's ministry is still in operation Today. It never stopped because he went to be with the Father. His ministry is being done through you! but only if you have been anointed.

The anointing of The Holy Spirit upon and within you is simply the Baptism of The Holy Spirit. Jesus gave this example at his on water Baptism, when the spirit came upon him and then his Ministry really began.

He then told his Disciples to wait in Jerusalem after his resurrection also, so that they could receive the Power ( Ability ) to be witnesses of him. This is later confirmed in Acts Ch 1 with the evidence of it throughout the entire book of Acts.

If you claim to Be a CHRISTIAN? Then you are claiming to be a True Follower of Jesus Christ, with The Anointing of his Spirit just as it was so with the first disciples in the Book of Acts. According to God's written word, You can only truly claim to be his follower when you become Born Again. Romans 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

I would like to encourage you that if you are not sure if you are truly a follower of Jesus Christ as it was proven throughout the book of Act's & still is today! Then please say the Salvation Prayer with Me Today, in the left hand column of This Blog Entry. You are not his if you do not have his Spirit! The only external evidence manifestation of anyone in the Bible having received the Holy Spirit Baptism was the evidence of speaking in Tongues. Study his word, and you will see this to be the Truth. Ask God to show you! Ask God to reveal the truth about your standing with him! Don't you think you deserve to know the Truth?  God definately does...that's why Jesus said " I am the Way, The Truth & The Life! "

WHO IS JESUS?

The Following Question may seem quite Odd at first, but there is a reason why i say it. I want to challenge you the reader to answer the above Question of
" WHO IS JESUS? "....Most people would probably say something along the lines of..He's My Saviour?, My Lord?, The Son of God etc etc. All these answers are absolutely correct! however they are only discriptive representations of Jesus. Again i ask you the same question..."WHO IS JESUS?"

If you are able to answer this Question? Then i would like to ask you one more final question! "HOW DO YOU KNOW?" They say that in a Relationship of any Type whether it is Friendship or Marriage, communication is one of the key elements amongst others to getting to know somebody. Communication from the Websters Dictionary - 1. The act of imparting, conferring, or delivering, from one to another; as the communication of knowledge, opinions or facts.

Correct me if im wrong, but does this definition suggest that there is open dialogue between 2 people? So then if you claim to know WHO JESUS IS? then is it true that you are claiming that he communicates with you? I mean isn't that what Friends or Partners do. It's never to be a one sided relationship where only 1 person get's to do all the talking is it?

Why am i saying all this!....I am not claiming to know your Heart, nor am i intent to condem or judge you! I have just noticed alot, that many people claim that they know Jesus! Yet i am not fully convinced with most, that they do! Just because you say that I BELIEVE IN JESUS does not mean that you know him or he knows you more importantly! Jesus said, that even SATAN BELIEVES!

Does that make Satan a follower of Jesus! Of course not, it's quite the opposite. And sadly that's the Truth of it with many people! They say they Believe & They know who Jesus is....some will even justify themselves! Even if it does not line up with scriptures and how God presents it. Jesus is more than just Head Knowledge and Theological understanding! He is more than just some text written in a Book with the name BIBLE on it!

Yes he is Lord of Lords, King of Kings etc...But can you now honestly say that you know this deep from within your entire being. Is he alive and real to you? Does he talk with you and share with you intimate truths about himself? Does he express himself personaly to you from within and not just externaly through his creation. Meaning, do you allow him to fill your entire being with his Holy Presence so much so that you can tangibly feel him? Example: You can feel the Wind againts your Face, yet you cannot see it. But you know that it is there! This is the same when Jesus manifests his presence too you! You may not see him, but you can Feel him.

Now dont tell me...Oh, im not into that..Jesus does not do that kind of stuff with me! Let me assure you from not only my own personal experience, but that of many others i know. Jesus Does express himself like that to anyone whom desires to know him regardless of your Age, Culture and surprise, surprise...even Religous Background! Jesus is not Religous, He is the Son of Man and The Son of God. In my Welcome introduction at the begining of this Blogsite. Everything i wrote about Jesus too me, is exactly how i know him in the Literal and spiritual connection i have with him.

I encourage you Today, that if you want to truely know Jesus. Then all you have to do is invite him into your Life. To the left of this blog there is a Salvation Prayer that you must Speak Out and Declare. After you pray this Prayer, Jesus will manifest himself to you. Do you dare to believe me? Then give it a Go....I know Jesus will never let anyone down who calls out to him with a True Heart!

JOHN THE DISCIPLE OF JESUS!

I enjoy reading the Book of John because of his revelation of the Love of God. I believe that each disciple was given a revelation to share, & each gave an account on different aspects of Jesus & his ministry! Ive chosen this segment of the Gospel of John movie because it covers what i believe very important revelations of being Born Again and a True Worshiper of God.

Peter Denies Jesus!

I would like to talk about Peter the disciple of Jesus and some of the Truths that the Holy Spirit revealed too me. Firstly, the most common remembrance of Peter that most people associate him with is, when he Denied Jesus 3 times.Oh, how Peter would have felt,we can only imagine?. Unless you have faced a similar situation which brought about a similar fate to that of Peter. Which then is normaly Followed up with self condemnation and great sence of worthlessness? .... This often leads to times where we can feel unworthy or even not worthy of forgivness?

Why am I labouring on this point you might be thinking? ...... Well my point is that often times when we make big mistakes or a mess of things in our lives which may effect others, people will most likely remember you for those things and not necessarily anything positive.Regarding Peter, I dont believe that was God's intention when he had it recorded in scripture for all eternity! Although most people when asked what they remember most about the disciple Peter, will likely refer to the 3 denials. I believe God's motive was to show us, his future generation children that even if we make a big mess of things in our own personal lives or that of ministry. He is still well able to use you and bless you beyond your own comprehension or imagination!

I’m guilty of remembering or promoting only negative things about people myself! I’ve spoken about negative misfortunes of someone else for either idol conversation or self gain! Too hide the fact that I don’t want any attention brought upon myself? (Meaning in a sense, I was just hiding behind this wrong behaviour)

So Jesus told Peter that he would deny him, yet Peter characteristicaly in all his zeal, was determined to declare to Jesus that he would do anything! Maybe Jesus has not told you personally that you would deny him!, but have you ever said to Jesus or expressed yourself to Jesus with that same Passion, Zeal & heartfelt plea like Peter did, only to find yourself falling short of your word?

What’s even more remarkable to point out right now, is that even though Jesus was about to face his Death, and he knew that Peter would deny him. I Believe that Jesus also knew that Peter would sooner than later serve him in a greater capacity! STOP! Did you understand what i just wrote? Jesus knew that Peter would be able to fufill his zealous desire to serve the Lord sooner than Peter was even aware of! You see, there are christians who love Jesus just like Peter did!, There are even christians who get Jealous over Jesus'just as Peter did with John’s Love for Jesus!. Christians who boldly confess with an open heart! LORD I WILL FOLLOW YOU ANYWHERE! & I WOULD EVEN DIE FOR YOU!! Yes this maybe a true confession, and God knows there hearts desire! HoweverGod also saw that in Peter before his Son Jesus amongst the accusers

The Truth & revelation that the Holy Spirit revealed to me! Was that Peter had not yet received Power from on High to witness and Testify about him (Jesus). Peter, although he desired sincerely to stand united for Jesus like he did in the Garden of Gethsemane only hours before, would not be able to stand against the taunts and questionings of Jesus’ persecutors! Because Peter was relying on his own strength to do so. After Jesus was resurrected, we read from the scriptures that his disciples went back to there previous lives (Fishing) and when he appeared to Mary and Martha. He made special mention to them to tell Peter that he was Alive!

When Peter saw Jesus on the Beach! He jumped out of his boat and swam to shore to be with his Lord and Master. Can you imagine the Joy of not only Peter, but that of Jesus? Jesus went on to share wit his disciples many truths and the most important of them that is mentioned was that they had to wait in Jerusalem for the Baptism of The Holy Spirit….to wait until they are endured with Power from on High!

After this event came too pass on the Day of Pentecost in the first 3 chapters of the book of Acts, you will read of a very different account of Peter. Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost and the Power and ability which came from this baptism of the Spirit caused him to stand before many people from many Nations at one place and preach Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected with Boldness and with Conviction. Jesus used Peter, whom denied him only day’s before hand to preach the first message of Salvation in the New Testament. Because Peter was no longer relying on his ability but that of the Power of The Holy Spirit, 3000.00 souls were saved in that first instance!

What can we learn from this? Many things’ I believe! God’s Mercy, Grace & Forgiveness! It does not matter as much to God as it does to us, that we mess up and make mistakes. Why do you think he sent Jesus? He know's that we will make similar mistakes as Peter! God has the ability to change circumstances around in favour of his will to bless you and redeem you from such circumstances like he did with Peter, to Glorify Himself and Jesus his Son. God’s desire is to fill you with his Spirit, so that you too can truly be empowered to STAND 4 JESUS HIS SON! You see…the scriptures make it real clear that without his spirit dwelling within you! You are in effect, just another Peter. Yes you may love him! Yes you may desire to do many things for him. But ultimately, you will one day fall short and continue on doing so if you rely on your own strength, instead of allowing Jesus’ spirit to come dwell in you!

Romans 8:9-11 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also bring to life your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

Todd Bentley - Encounter - Part 1

JESUS IS ALIVE!

For almost 3-4 weeks, the Holy Spirit has been impressing more & more in my thoughts and most importantly my spirit, that Jesus is Alive! Everytime i meditate on or even speak those very words. Alot of times i literaly feel a sence of urgency & adrenlin mixed with many other emotions like Joy, Hope and expectancy that overwhelms me.

This can last for a few moments, up to a longer period of time. I am more aware of of Jesus and him in me! I cant explain it too you! But i assure you, i tell you the Truth! I am not claiming to be Jesus, and never will either! All i am saying is i am becoming more & more aware of his divine presence in me! and nothing more....for example lets read what Paul spoke to the church in colossians.

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

CHRIST IN ME! CHRIST IN ME! CHRIST IN ME!

The Holy Spirit shared with me a truth that is often over looked, because we can be so caught up with our own agendas most times. It's difficult to express and ephasise it how he(Holy Spirit) shared it with me, but ill try my best. Basically he said to me that " Jesus is still crucified in them!" I was not positvely sure who Them were and what exactly did the Holy Spirit mean at the Time. But i can assure you it came as a shock too me, to hear the Holy Spirit speak so clearly & fervently!, just out of nowhere-so to speak. ( Meaning, i was not expecting it)

I didnt want to ask him what he meant at that immediate time!, but the lasting impression i was left with after he spoke, was that supposed peoples who claim to be followers of Christ have not Permitted Jesus to Be ALIVE in them yet? This may seem like nonsence to you, but i thank the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God that he is opening my eyes to see, and my mind to understand what he is saying.

It's all quite simple really! There comes a point of time in every true belivers walk with the Lord that just as he did. You will be expected to truely Die to Self! To lay down your life in exchange of giving it to him, just as he did for you! This point in time in our love walk with him is a special and momentos moment not for just you and Jesus, But for God the Father also!

I've come to understand through my own experience, that the whole process of dying to self is not something that we necesarily externalise through our own effort. But by devine will, of the Father himself. A spirtual process that begins with the Heart first then working it's way from within to external manifestation.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus considered you his friend! Do you consider Jesus your true friend? Are you willing to lay everything down for him? Your hopes, dreams and personal Will if he asked you to? Do you think Jesus did for you? Or do you think he only gave you half, so you can have all he has now?

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

This is your reward if you are willing and ready to wait upon the lord to bring you to this place. He knows the Heart and readiness of each persons heart. We can only ask the lord to bring us to the cross so that when we are Truely crucified and Ressurected. Then & only then will JESUS BE ALIVE IN YOU! I am finding this to be true in me, and my whole being is being changed from Glory to Glory.

God began this process in me about 2 months ago, and it's only now that i am begining to understand all that i have just shared with you and am learning more and more every day. I can hoestly say that JESUS IS ALIVE IN ME! and it makes me so happy and blessed.

REPRESENTING JESUS!

If God is able to make a Donkey Talk! If God is able to make the Rocks cry out & Worship him!...Then how much more can God use Modern Music to Minister his Grace, Love & Mercy that endures 4 eva. I was blessed recently to introduce to a Young Man in his Teens, the Love of Jesus Christ and The Salvation Message. This young man made the best decision in his Life that will never dissapoint him, or have him in any future regret.

HE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST INTO HIS LIFE TO BE HIS LORD AND SAVIOUR!

God used Christian Rap music to minister his Love to this young man. I meet him through an Outreach Ministry at our Church. The Holy Spirit told me to give him a C.D with Christian Hip Hop & rap Muzik on it, in which i did. A few weeks later i meet the young man again at the same weekly outreach, and he was excited to inform me that he was amazed that was amazed with the christian hip hop muzic i gave him.

This was the seed that God had me to plant into this Young Man's life, & through fellowship with him over a few weeks was watering the seed. It was only a matter of time before God brought the increase. The rest is history and the young man was encouraged to attend Youth meetings to grow and get connected with Guy's & Girls his same age.

Alot of Christians hold different beliefs and opinions on the use of Modern music with Christian lyrics. At the end of the day, it's not us who decides how Go wants too minister, reach out or speak to somebody! If God want's to use a Donkey, then so be it. If God decides to use Opera to Minister to someone, so be it. His Will be done, not our will be done.

CHRIST IN ME!

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

To live 4 christ is the most common desire of many if not most Christians! It's a message preached to many New Believers, and in most Pentecostal / Charistmatic Churches world wide. How the message of Living for Christ is Taught, may vary from the many different denominations. But of recent the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me the Revelation of CHRIST IN ME!

I believe it is important to read carefully and ask the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of our understanding of what Paul was really trying to say in the above Scripture Gal 2:20. Before i continue on, let's read another scripture that Paul writes concerning Christ in You....Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you.

So what does this all mean? To put it in simple basic terms ( This is How the Holy Spirit Teaches Me ) Paul was acknowledging to the Church in his writings that when Jesus was crucified & Died on the Cross...So did He!. It was as if Paul himself was on that Cross Dying. This is not Blasphemy! Of course it was Jesus on the Cross, but Jesus was Perfect and without Sin up until the point of himself(Jesus) being hung on the cross. (Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,")

Because of this Curse, this gave entry for Your Sin's and all of the worlds Sins to come upon Jesus. This is were you and I were placed on the cross! Our Sin Nature and all of our Sin's commited. Remember! Jesus was perfect in every way up until that Point in time. He should not have been there in the 1st place, but because of his and his Fathers love towards us was so strong He went to the Cross anyway!

So you and I where on the Cross in the form of Jesus as our representative!

Here is where the Blessing comes to pass! When God raised Jesus from the Dead into Life. You and I (Remember, Jesus is our representative) were raised from the Dead into Life. But not just an ordinary same old life that we had before the Cross! But a life in Christ! A Life in Christ gave us the redemption that God our new Father so desired since the begining of the Garden Of Eden.
We were then placed at our Fathers Right Hand to sit next to Him in Christ, which is the Highest place of Honour and Hishgest Place of Dominion and Power.

Of course everything i am writing to some of you may be difficult to understand or comprhend! Dont worry, i understand how you feel. I use to be the same way, until i invited the Holy Spirit into my Life and asked him to reveal the Truths of the scriptures to me.

CHRIST IN ME is more that just a statement that i speak freely amongst others. But i say it with understanding and conviction from deep within me. I feel Christ in me! He is alive in me, and he speaks to me daily. All that he is consumes me more and more so that everything i do or say, becomes a mirror image of Jesus. A True relflection of his Love, Grace and Mercy to others.

I can still make the choice to live my ownlife according to my own will. But if i Truely died on that cross with Jesus. Then the life that i now live, is by Faith of the Son of God.

DO YOU BELIEVE?

John 4:41 Many more believed because of his word

Take this oppurtunity to Re-Read this passage of scripture over and over again before reading on!

John 4:41 Many more believed because of his word.

John 4:41 Many more believed because of his word.

(Giggiling 2 Self)....I decided to Re Paste them there again, because I know it's the Natural tendency for our eyes and Brain to not communicate as effectively as they should sometimes.

For Example, because our Eye's can see a continual pattern of writing, they automaticaly move on to the next sentence before the Brain can process & respond accordingly to what it has just read. (This all happens in milliseconds ) So hence the re pasting of the scripture, so that I know you did re read it again! This is not always the case with many readers, but for the benefit of others like myself who read quickly!

O.k... So the Scripture reference of " Many more Believed of His Word " was in the context of when Jesus had spoken earlier to a Samaritan women who came to collect water from the Well. She had a devine meeting with Jesus at the Well without at first recognising who he was, but shortly after speaking and Heaing his words, she percieved that he was a Prophet because he knew ALL things that she did. (John 4:39)

Jesus spoke to this Women (who would have been shunned, despised & considered the least among Women, because of her Sin Lifestyle) & Revealed to her one of the greatest Revelations of the New Testament and that of the Church to come. You have to remember that when Jesus was on earth, he was living under the O/T times and Laws. It wasnt til after his Death & Ressurection that the N/T begun thru the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. (Acts ch 1 - 3 )

Jesus said to this Samaritan women who wasnt even a Jew-Israelite ( From the Household of God ) that very shortly ( After his Death & ressurection) the True worshipers of God would worship God in Spirit & in Truth.

John 4:24-26 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things." Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

It is right then at this very moment that The Samaritan Women had to make a choice whether to believe Jesus's words or not. Whether he was just a Sleezy Man wanting to Meet with her, a Mad man or even False Prophet? Many of us today are faced with the same decisions and challenges that this Women encounterd with Jesus. When we read the scriptures or when Jesus speaks into our Heart's!

DO WE BELIVE HIM?

Some say Yes, some say No! But as you read on from those scripture verses, you will read that she chose to believe. She even proved her belief by putting ACTION into it, by going to TELL ALL SHE KNEW ABOUT HIM! If we pick up from were we begun in John 4:41...in Verse 42 we read that those her heard her testimony of meeting the Messiah came and also believed the words of Jesus and what he spoke.

Many times Jesus is speaking to us & encouraging us to Share the Truth or Revelation about Him and True Worshipers to those who are Blinded by Religon and False Teachings. Is there somebody you know that Jesus has been asking you to Talk too? Do you truely belive Jesus like the Samaritan women enough to go and tell all those that you know?

John 4:41 Many more believed because of his word.

I want to encourage you to ask Jesus to forgive you, and to ask him to help you share about him with thoe you live or work with. He is a loving Lord that wants to not only bless your life with Joy & Peace....but there are so many people in the World who dont have His True Love, Joy & Peace. Sit down with them & Invite them to say the salvation Prayer on this Blog site. Tell them Jesus is Alive! & he is waiting patiently to meet with them Today.

FAMILY

One of the Greatest things that you inherit as a True child of God, is this whole New Family that you get to hang out with & have Fun! On Sunday after our 10.30am Service, a whole group of us (25+) decided to take over a local Burger Bar that served what they considered to be the best burgers in Perth, Australia.

Well! The challenge was on and being a Native Maori from New Zealand who love there Food...i could not resist the Temptation of proving them Right or Wrong! It was a fun atmosphere, as we filled the room with Laughter and Joy.

We even played the classic kid's game of Naughts & Crosses on the Paper Table cloths while we waited for our orders. The anticipation was agonising, as some of us joked that it felt like we were on a 40 day fast!. Finally the wait was over & my Large Eifel Tower looking Burger was ready for destruction.

10,9,8,....3,2,1...BITE!

Mmmmmm

Fortunately for you, I did not get a photo of that moment! , because i assure you it was not pretty. However, it came down to a Unanomous decision by all, that the Burgers, although they tasted Good...were not worth the Higher price end of the Market. In Fact, suprisingly even the Girls said they would have prefered to go to Hungry Jacks! Ha Ha Ha...I thought that was Funny because I thought I was the only one thinking that at the Time of my conclusion of whether it was the Best burgers in Perth.

GOD'S PERFECT TIMING!!!

When the Holy Spirit told me to resign from my last Job & trust that God would bless me with a better Part Time Job between my studies. I really had to step out by faith just like Abraham in the O/T that God would do exactly what he said he would do!...Well, Not only has God done this, but the new work place enviroment i work in now is sooooo relaxing, & the atmosphere has a real positive vibe about it. I get paid more than my last Job position, and I have the flexibilty to work around my studies and Ministry commitments with as many or less Hrs i want. Which with my previous employer, i did not have that same flexibilty. MY GOD IS JEHOVAH JIREH (Provider)

Then Within 2 weeks of giving my immediate resignation with my previous employer, The buisness had to close down for 2-3 months for On-site maintanance. So God had already made preperations for me before hand. All i had to do was to be sensitive to hear his small still voice, then act on it by Faith out of obedience! How many times have we missed his still small voice?.... And made a right mess of things? I know i have! There are 2 positions that we can choose for ourselves.

1: The Permsive Will of God...which takes less risk and faith on your part, because you are more in control!

2: The Perfect Will of God...Complete Faith/Trust in his ability to make it happen.

For example, Imagine if Israel in the O/T.... who were captives & Slaves to the Egyptions, decided to leave by force on there own will & strength without God's help?. They would have had to Fight the Egyptions for there freedom? Take there casualties and survivors somehow across the Red Sea into and through the desert. Then still have to decide which land would be suitable for them to fight for and dwell in?

It seems like a lot of hard work if you ask me...just for the sake of wanting to be in control. I doubt Israel would have survived the first stage of War with the Egyptions. Even if they did, they still had to find a way to cross the Red Sea etc....Thankfully, they trusted in God's ability to Free them and give them a Land of Milk & Honey. All they had to do was listen and obey! By his Grace he always makes a way out for his children.

Ok...so back to God's Provision in my Life....My new Boss/ Manager / Buisness Owner Andrew, is a man who has Vision, Determination and Passion. He's already discussing about opening another store which would make it 4 Wood Fire Pizza Cafe/Resturants in Perth Australia. He wants all his loyal staff to benefit from the growth & success of the buisness as it becomes a $20 million plus company P/A.

Im excited to be apart of this Venture, and i know that God is going to bless his buisness , and that one day i will be playing a prominent role within the company. The companies name is Italian Kitchen...so if your ever in the area? Come and enjoy a Hot Delicious Wood Fire Cooked Pizza by myself..Souljah 4 Christ.

BIBLE STUDENTS GOING BACK HOME!

Each student has completed there studies and God has called them to either return to there home land to preach Jesus or to return back into the Marketplace (Work Enviroment)....Each student has unique special gifts and Talents given by God to give to others! I will miss them!, but i know we will meet again soon or if not?....then when Jesus returns in all his Glory! Come Lord Jesus, Come!

TIME 4 CHANGE?

It has become increasignly aware too me that many people in Society live out the Dreams, Passions and mostly desires of others? Does this make sence?...What do i mean? Is it possible that most people find it too dificult to find or live out there own lives? Thus defering the ultimate life changing experience coming from a change firstly within?.

I have meet people who use the excuse of other peoples life experiences to mould and shape there own lives? Alhough it is nearly impossible to not be influenced by another persons life emotionaly, esp if you are directly connected with them in some way? It does not excuse us from building & livng from our own personal life experiences.

Do you think i am being judgemental or Harsh? Yes & No...

You see, I have come to realise from my own life. For many years I lived off the memories & in particular the spoken experiences accounted by others. I think the terminology is called " Living of another man's dream " Instead of looking within to find out who the real me was!...it was much easier to just portray a distorted image reflected by others

THE GIFTS? OR THE GIVER OF GIFTS?

I reckon, One of the coolest things about God is his Timeing and his enduring Patience. I think mankind and each one of us could learn alot from just those 2 characteristics of God's awesomeness. But, apparently we know better!... And what we think is the right thing too ask for, or our timeing is always the best time.

I myself am guilty of this and many other things concerning Godly principles etc. Not to say that i purposely dig at to find fault in Man and in myself in particular. Because the truth or the Fact is, according too scriptures there is none perfect, no not one, . That was until Jesus came too redeem us...Glory to his name!

Jesus is the Ultimate gift from God, that I think deserves alot more attention in these last days. In fact i think that if we paid more attention to Who, What, Why, and the Where details about Jesus and his ministry. It's possible that we might just be surprised as too what we find or discover! We might actually be reminded of the truth...the whole purpose of his coming & our salvation.

It's my belief that Alot of Christians sadly dont fully undestand the true depth and importance of Jesus' Ministry on earth and his Death. Of course there are many different aspects which have been preached and laboured upon, like his Death and ressurection. Which, do not get me wrong...are very important keys to the Salvation message. But they are not the only ones though...


Yes! Jesus redeemed mankind from the penalty of sin which is Eternal Death...BUT have you ever asked yourself why?...Here is the Key Reason! So that God could not only forgive and cleanse you from all sin, But so God could bring man back to that previous fallen state of Intimacy and fellowship with Him. Just as it was meant to be, showen in the begining in the Garden of Eden with Adam & Eve. But this time, not only did God want to be just our God...but he decided he would adopt us as his own children and we could then begin to see him and know him as "Father" instead of Just God.

You see...The Gift of Jesus, gave us the Gift of Adoption, which then gave us a position that can only be given to Sons of God. That is, to be seated next to our new FATHER (In Jesus) at his right side in the Kingdoms Throne Room. Too much emphasis and Teachings today are on what God can give to you if you are a good little christian. To much teachings and emphasis is on what i can get for myself and what kind of ministry God is going to give or use me for?.... The healing ministry! The Double portion! etc etc...

STOP! Please dont get me wrong! These are very important gifts to God & the ministry of the Kingdoms growth. But there must be a balance in everything we do for him, because if your focus and attention is consumed only on the gifts and what you can get?. Then Satan once again has drawn our attention away from God just like he did in the Garden of Eden with the Apple. Intimacy and Relationship with Jesus, brings us into Intimacy and Relationship with God.

The heart of King David in the O/T was to know God more, & too dwell in his presence forever more! God even recorded it in scripture that David was a man after his Heart!Intimacy! A Relationship! Abba Father! The result of your Intimacy with Jesus and your new Father will produce all the Gifts and Blessing freely, because this is his TRUE LOVE 4 you.

Remember the parable of the Prodical Son? When he returned after throwing away all his inheritance. His Father(God) did not question him or make him earn it back! He freely gave him a Ring, Robe and the best Food to be served. Yet his Older brother who was trying to earn his inheritance complained and became angry and bitter. Yet his father said to the older brother, that his inheritance has always been his too. He just forgot, and began to try and earn his fathers respect and love!

I WILL PREACH JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED...& SATAN WILL NOT STOP ME!!!

Galatians 1:15-16 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

For me personaly, I can identify with what Paul the Apostle spoke to the Church in Galatia. It sums up all that God has done from the begining of my birth..then to bring me to where I am now. As like Paul the Apostle, I did a many terrible things in my life and then went on too experience a similar Life changing encounter just like his conversion on the road to Damascus.

I guess in many ways we can identify ourselves with many biblical characters in the Bible...However, the most important person that we all must come to identify with in every area of our lives is JESUS! Even as a non christian I had a deep yearning that I somehow felt I did not belong or come from this world. But how do u tell that too Friends, Family or anybody that would listen, without them thinking you are going mad? Yet the unknowing knowing become progressively stronger as I grew older!

Kinda like a two edged sword senario I guess you could call it...But now that I know the Truth about my true identity in Christ and christ in me. It all makes sense too me, that all though I am in this world for a season! I am not of it....Glory, Halleluah. I am here to Follow in the footsteps of my Lord and Saviour, and just like Jesus...to carry out the work of my Father in Heaven.

SPIRIT - BODY - SOUL -

 

1 Thessalonians 5:23


The Bible clearly states that we (Human Beings) are a Tri Being. We are a Spirit being, that has a Body & and a Soul. In the Book of Genesis, we read that God created us in his own Image or Likeness. God is a Tri Being as he reveals through the scriptures. God the Father, God the Son(Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit, yet he is One being just like you and I.


Is it purely coincidental that we too are also modeled after him with a Tri Being exsistance?. The Tri Being or Trinity teaching of God always challenges a lot of people, because quite simply, they find it difficult to understand. Sadly because they find it too difficult to understand or comprehend. I have noticed that it's easier too to put it into the too hard basket or become defensive in there own interpretation. Which of course makes a lot of sense, if you view it in that same light.


Our Soul is the area of our Mind, Will,Emotions. The Body part of our Tri Being is the Logic, Intution incorperating all the 7 sences like Sight, Smell, Taste, Speech, Touch etc.... It's my belief that the Trinity or God's 3 Part Being like you and I, can no longer be understood from our Soul or Body like it's was able too in it's former Time or State. And because of this new condition on the Soul and Body, neither of the two are able to correctly discern or correctly comprehend the Spiritual truth of the Trinity Being of God. Your Spirit which God recognises to be the Real you, is the only area of your Tri being that can fully understand Spiritual Truths.

 

Let's go back into the Garden of Eden too understand this a little better. When Adam and Eve were created, the were created into perfect Beings. Spirit, Soul and Body. They were without Sin or blemish and therefore not corrupt. They were in the perfect image and will of God, and enjoyed the blessings of there creator and his fellowship. So when Sin entered into there lives through there  own disobedience. There entire being....Spirit, soul and body become corrupt and could no longer be in the presence of there creator and continue too live and enjoy the benefits of his blessings. God's anger towards Satan was evident, because through his(Satans) lies, he deceived Eve & Adam.

 

Thus God had to remove Adam & Eve from his Presence, where Intimate relationship with Hinself would be lost. He also knew that the sin would spread throughout our entire being like a disease which would distort and effect the way we make choices in our lives and whether or not we would want to have a relationship with God.

Have you ever one day realised with a deep sensing that there is something missing in your life? but you cant put your finger on it? So we assume it's lack of wordly belongings or exceptance, in which we spend most of our lives accumilating through Blood, sweat and Tears. We try to earn the exceptance of others through false pretence and we place tremendous expectations on ourselves. Only to realise that there is still something missing. Very few people are succesfully able to cover or put a false Band Aid over this feeling though denial or bitterness.


The truth is...that feeling of lonelyness or that sence of something missing in your life is very, very real. It is comeing from your Spirit Being(True Self) that longs for that reconnection with it's Creator. Just like too lovers who were seperated. So that's the simple version of how we became corrupt Tri Beings. Therefore restricting us & not being able to fully comprehend the spiritual truths of the scriptures. So God needed a plan to restore our Spirit Being which remember is our Core part that he connects with, so that we can and he can have that union again.

 

When you are Born Again by faith,  you are in simple terms  permitting God to restore your Spirit being back to it's former state. Your Spirit being within you is regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit. How? The Holy Spirit joins with your spirit and you become one with him. Now the Soul and the Flesh are not restored back to there former glory. Too my understanding so far!... I have yet to study the scriptures in more depth to find the answers to that reason. However God gave us his Holy Scriptures to compensate for this. The scriptures say that if we meditate on his word and live after his commandments continually. Eventually our Soul will become renewed in the way it thinks and our Body can receive healing when needed.

 

God is not a man that he should lie. Because what he says will come to pass. When he said to Adam DO NOT eat of the tree that gives you knowledge of Good and Evil otherwise you will Die. So from the moment they ate of the tree, Satan's plan took effect to destroy God's loved ones. And the process of our Death Time Clock begun. So too understand God and to have union with him again like in the Garden of Eden all you need to do is get Born Again. Jesus gave us the example before he begun his ministry in the river Jordan, and it was only then on the first account that God declared Jesus to be his Son in whom he is well pleased with. If you try too understand God with your Soul which remember has been corrupted by sin and is not like it's former state. You will never truly and fully understand the Spiritual truths of the scriptures.

 

How many times have you tried to understand the Heart and mind of God and you end up becoming more confused and or sometimes disillusioned. It does not seem to make  what we would consider logical sense? Well know you know why! It's only with the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit that dwells within you after being Born Again that you will come to understand progressively your true identity, and purpose in life!

GOD IN A BOX!

It was a Rainy Saturday Morning, &  I was driving along a busy street of Perth, heading for a local Shopping Mall.  I was pondering on various thoughts which ranged from the topic of  Unbelief, then onto Different Faiths and Doctrines. It was almost like I was having a conversation within my own mind about these different Topics .What really struck home with me though, was a Question that  became increasingly apparent too me as I thought more & more about those various  Topical Thoughts. .

The Question seemed to come out of nowhere so to speak!  It invaded my thinking without any prior warning & if you can believe me? It came on it's own accord. It was as if God was askeing me this question! The question became so big and loud, it consumed all other thoughts &  arrested my Attention. This question began to grow within me quickly, and before I could even blink. It was like it  demanded to be released from my lips, as if to give it life by speaking it out aloud!

How many times have you ever found yourself thinking about something, and too your surprise. Because your so focused on that thought or what your thinking upon. You end up speaking your mind, Then someone nearby you would respond with a " What did you say? " or " Huh?". You reply sheepishly with a " Oh! it's ok, I was just thinking out aloud!"

 

Well, that's what was about to happen too me! But this time I was alone in my Car, so I didn't have to be too concerned about anyone hearing me speak something completely out of the Blue. Ok, I think you get the picture! So I just Said it!

 

" WHY DO WE PUT GOD IN A BOX?...WHY DO WE PUT GOD IN A BOX? "

My mind became flooded with different scenes and scenarios like a  Virtual life Video playback in my mid, of accounts where either myself or other people,  through our  own ignorance or lack of knowledge & wisdom put God in a Box! Is it possible that we restrict God by doing this? Is it possible that because God is so BIG, that the only way we can stay in control is to rationalise and question his ability?

How is it that we, who cannot yet fully understand the vast measures of God's wisdom & understanding! Able to comprehend the Real Love & Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And yet we expect God too fit into our own custom made Box? Who are we to say too God Jump, or Are we able to create anything as beautiful as a Flower? Then have the wisdom to place that flower in it's right place. In the Cycle of life with all other  living things, with a designed  purpose for it's existence, too work in Harmony with everything else that is created?. Everything is connected and works accordingly to how God created it too, in order to give life to other things. The flower produces pollen etc...the Flower can create honey, which then the Bee collects etc etc etc. That is the true Wisdom of God in operation!

I don't know about you, but often times I catch myself out by limiting God in my life to reveal his awesomeness, his majesty, his beauty, his strength, his holiness, his Joy, his character in my own life. I mean, would you want to restrict you Partner in life to grow and not reveal there true self as time permitted in your relationship. Or would you be just content knowing only a handful of things about them, and not going on to grow together and learn more about them. Like there God given talents and Gifts for example. The funny things they do, that make them unique ,and you smile?

 

I believe that God is wanting too reveal more of himself too each one of us, more so today as we approach the end times, Then ever before! The Problem is, is that unless we stop placing limitations on God. We will never walk and Live in the Fullness of Life as He(God) destined it to be...just like the Flower.

 

GOOD & EVIL

Good & Evil!..... Are they really different or the same?

Just so you the reader understands correctly my view on this subject. I am useing the context of the topic Good & Evil as an admission by any one individual. For example, anyone who believes that they can justifiy there lifestyle of being Good & not of Evil!

Secondly, due to the nature of this Topic which i take very seriously, I make NO APOLOGIE for speaking what i believe to be the Truth. I do recognise that there are many other Beliefs and Opinions outside of my own, and that this Topic may offend you. But i assure you the reader, that the true intnet of my heart is too remind you & uncover the continual lies that Satan inflicts on God's Created People.

Have you either yourself, or ever heard someone else say " Im a Good Person! It's not like iv'e Killed anybody!" or how about " I do good to others, so how could a God who suppose too love me, send me to Hell?"

These are common responses i am confronted with, each time a situation presents itself for me to share(Not Bible Bash) the Gospel Hope of Jesus Christ! Even if they ask or enquire of my Beliefs, they quickly change from one who seemed generaly interested. To sombody in most cases who needs to justify themselves, by presenting to me all there Good deeds and things they have done. Thus justifying themselves out of the Final Judgement of God and seperating themselves from evil.

My Question here then is this! If everyone on earth is Good? Then why would God give commandments to live by? and why would God then have to resort too sending Jesus Christ is beloved son too die for our sins? God is the Judge of all, and no man including myself has the right to Judge others. However, God did give mankind at the begining 12 Commandments to follow, in order to keep themselves from evil and more importantly. It allowed both God & Man to continue on & maintain a union or relationship!

But Satan who represents true Evil, dispised this relationship that God had and desired to have with Man. So Satan decided he would use every trick in the book so too speak, to seperate man through continual lies and deciet. So Satan set about over the centries, decieving Mankind into thinking that it's ok to worship other God's! It's ok to live a life of Drunkeness and Sexual immorality! It's ok to tell a little white lie to your friends, boss or even Family because God will still love you!.
Already, Satan has mixed the truth of God's love for you, with reasoning of living a lifestyle that already steps outside of the 12 commandments!. Satan will do anything to decieve you into thinking that you are your own person and you owe God nothing. And In doing so, he effectively decieves you!, Nations! and Mankind as a whole.

Yes God loves you! God is love! He has no control over the very essence of who he is. Just like you have no control over the Sun rising and setting each day. But God is also a God of Order, Rightouesness & Justice. And when he gave the 12 Commandments, he warned that Failing to keep them would bring Judgement upon yourselves!

What about those people who live a life of Harmony with Nature and go about living a lifestyle of doing good things? For example Promoting and acknowledging all life forms as one? Who untimately all believe in the same God. Jesus said that no Man can come to God exceot it be through Him! or in other words, If you want to know God my Father, i am his Son. And you can only come to know him if i introduce you too him. Not Mohammad, Not Buddah, Not Joesph Smith, Not even Mason(Souljah4christ).....


The Truth is that scripture says that Man could not keep the commandments and Laws given by God from the Old Testament. So in order for God to help mankind from not enduring his Anger & the Rightouess Judgement oweing to them. He made a way out through his Son Jesus.

God poured out his Rightouess Anger and Judgement upon his Son Jesus, whom took it upon himself to take the Sin,of all who Repent. So that any person who did repent of there Sins from that day onwards, There sins would be forgiven. Automaticaly the sinner would not have to endure the Penalty of their sin because Jesus already endured it for them and gave the Sinner automatic entry & restoration back to all the blessings and Favour, & union with God there creator.

I know this topic can be debated and ripped into a million different points of views. However, It's still up too you as the reader to decide after you click off this web page " GOOD & EVIL! WHO DECIDES? "
