ANOTHER GREAT TESTIMONY TO THE ONE TRUE GOD

Posted on by

All Blacks and Springboks Kneel in Prayer as injured Ardie Savea recounts encounter with God. They prayed to our Heavenly Father who sent His only son Jesus to Earth to provide the means of our restoration back into a right relationship with Him.

Isaiah prophesied Jesus first coming as a suffering servant but the religious leaders of the day only wanted the Messiah who would come as a conquering king to defeat their enemies. As there are 2000 prophecies of Jesus second coming as a conquering king and His coming Millennial reign it is no wonder their focus was on those prophecies. Let us look at Isaiah’s prophecy of Jesus first coming to Earth as the suffering servant.

“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:4-12

Is it any wonder that Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

All Blacks and Springboks players united in prayer after their Baltimore clash, while Christian captain Siya Kolisi and Ardie Savea continue to testify openly about Jesus. Four Tests, one series, everything on the line. When the final whistle went in Baltimore, the All Blacks and Springboks came together in a huddle, arm in arm, a mark of respect after one of the great rivalries in world rugby delivered another classic. New Zealand’s All Blacks and the South African Springboks have marked the close of their new Rugby test series with prayer. Side by side, both teams stood and knelt together with heads bowed after SA beat NZ 43-28 in the United States city of Baltimore.

While mainstream coverage was spread thin, South Africa’s public broadcaster acknowledged the prayer, as did Christian sports outreach platform Jesus My Goal (JMC).

WANT ETERNAL LIFE? THERE IS ONLY ONE OPTION

Posted on by

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The urgent need for all people to see Jesus clearly is revealed in verse 12, “there is no other name.” The world must know about this Saviour because there is no other way to be saved by God. Jesus is not one option among many. He’s the only one who is able to fully rescue and save through his perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection.

And that conviction that there is no other name leads to courage. It wasn’t that long before this that Peter had denied Jesus three times in the lead-up to his crucifixion. And yet now, filled by the Spirit, with a clear conviction that Jesus is the only way, Peter stands with courage.

The council are already astonished by the boldness of Peter in verse 13. But because everyone in Jerusalem knows about the healing, they decide to silence them instead, demanding that they cease speaking and teaching “in the name of Jesus” (Acts 4:17).

They can no longer remain silent. They’ve seen too much. They’ve heard too much. It only leads to further courage in verse 20, “for we cannot but speak.” They are compelled by conviction. Not by fear. Not by pressure. Not by guilt. Not by technique. Their clear convictions about Jesus compels them to courageously proclaim the name of Jesus, no matter the cost.

The same pattern continues in Acts 5. More signs and wonders. More opposition. More demands to stop speaking about Jesus. But after being flogged and beaten, they rejoice that they were “counted worthy to suffer dishonour for the name” and they “did not cease” talking about Jesus.

Their continued clarity, conviction, and courage to proclaim “there is no other name” (Acts 4:12) led to this repeated result: “many of those who had heard the word believed” (Acts 4:4).

God’s Spirit can empower that same clarity, conviction, and courage in us today. That courage is needed even more today as we know from God’s Word that tribulation, even great tribulation, precedes Jesus return to rescue Israel and to restore righteousness.

JESUS REIGNS IN HEAVEN BUT UNTIL HE RETURNS TO EARTH TO RAPTURE HIS CHILDREN THEY WILL SUFFER

Martyn Isles shows us that the reality in this world is that life is unstable. Circumstances shift, expectations collapse, and evil intrudes. Revelation names this reality honestly, including the sobering truth that tribulation is part of the Christian calling. John identifies it as central to our partnership in Christ (Rev. 1:9).

“I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.” Rev.1:9

But into this unsettled world, Revelation declares a daring truth: Christ reigns. So, these troubles are not signs of His absence, but they are realities taken up into His sovereign purposes. John is invited to “come up here” (Rev. 4:1) and see history from heaven’s perspective. From this vantage point, tribulation is reinterpreted – it is not meaningless or wasted, but transfigured. It prepares God’s people for glory, and prepares God’s world for redemption.

SAY JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, CHRIST IS KING AND YOU ARE NOT WELCOME AT A KAMALA HARRIS RALLY

Posted on by

Kamala Harris has made abortion the primary platform for this election. Kamala says, this election is a fight for freedom, the fundamental right for women to decide what to do with their bodies and not have the government tell you what to do. The problem is that another person is involved which the woman is carrying in her womb. What about freedom for that person? Even more important, what does God have to say about it? Kamala Harris made it clear that God is not welcome at her rallies. Her response to two young men who called out “Jesus Christ is Lord” and “Christ is King” made that clear. They were told they were at the wrong rally and were escorted to the door.

SIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST: AMERICA’S FUTURE IS IN THE BALANCE

Jonathan Cahn reveals Antichrist spirit at Kamala Harris rally. The Lordship of Christ; King Jesus is not welcome at the Democrat rally. In fact Jesus was mocked. The two young men who acknowledged Jesus as Lord and King were quickly escorted from the building. Kamala even told them that their rally was the smaller one, the Trump rally down the road.

JESUS CHRIST ALONE HOLDS YOUR DESTINY

“Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:35-40

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.“ John 6:47-50

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“ John 14:6

“As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” John 6:57-58

I could use more Scriptures, but if you do not believe in these, I am not sure why you came to this website.

IS JESUS GOD?

Posted on by

Matthew states that this child (Jesus) is God (God with us):

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)” Matthew 1:23 & Isaiah 7:14

John is likewise explicit in the prologue to his Gospel:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 & “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

Some of the disciples called Jesus God directly.

“Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” John 20:28, and “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1

The book of Hebrews is most emphatic that Jesus is God. Hebrews 1:8, applying Psalm 45:6 to Jesus Christ, states: “But to the Son, He [the Father] says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.'” Other parts of Hebrews explain that Jesus is higher than the angels (Hebrews 1:4-8, 13), superior to Moses (Hebrews 3:1-6), and greater than the high priests (Hebrews 4:14-5:10). He is greater than all these because He is God—along with the Father. and the Holy Spirit.

The doctrine of the Trinity means that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct Persons — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Stated differently, God is one in essence and three in person.  Essence is what you are, person is who you are. So God is one “what” but three “whos.”

“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.” John 17:1-5

ARE YOU BOLDLY AND COURAGEOUSLY DECLARING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD & SAVIOUR?

Posted on by

Our God is awesome! Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.“ 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

Scripture defines us as those who are “more than conquerors” in the trials of life.

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39

We are victorious because we are precious in the sight of a holy, majestic, and loving God. To be a Christian and serve Him who is worthy is the highest calling anyone can receive. We are deemed “a royal priesthood, a holy nation,” and “God’s special possession.” In this identity, we are to “declare the praises of Him who called” us “out of darkness into His wonderful light.”

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10

A mind centered on Christ explains why we exist, where we came from, and where we are going. A mind fixed on Christ allows us to respond to anything we should face.

Why would anyone want to keep the wonderful truth of Christ to themselves? May we be bold and courageous so we are His army — a Kingdom — that reflects a zeal for the Lord and a passion to share His truth and proclaim His name boldly.

WHY YOU SHOULD BELIEVE AND TRUST JESUS CHRIST

Posted on by

This is the prayer Jesus prayed to His Heavenly Father knowing He would be tortured and crucified the following day.

I would urge you to carefully read what it says and means considering the following: 1. In the context of Jesus’ life on Earth as recorded by His disciples, 2. His disciples all gave up their lives rather than deny the truth of Jesus Christ and His Word. 3. Jesus changed the world dramatically, B.C. and A.D., as many nations accepted the Judaeo Christian worldview, 4. The fact that there are over 300 prophecies by Old Testament prophets of Jesus’ first coming to Earth that were fulfilled to the letter. 5. There are more than 1,000 prophecies of Jesus’ second coming to Earth and I would suggest that they will be fulfilled exactly as the prophecies of Jesus’ first coming were fulfilled. Many have already been fulfilled, particularly one major one – the re-establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948. Biblical prophecies tell us that Jesus will return with the glorified Saints to rescue the nation of Israel at the prophesied battle of Armageddon. Prior to 1948 Israel as a nation did not exist. In the second century AD, the Romans crushed the revolt of Shimon Bar Kokhba (132 AD) during which Jerusalem and Judea were regained and the land of Judea was renamed Palaestina in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land.

JESUS HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYER

“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake, I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:1-26

You have to be blinded by the evil one if you cannot see the truth of these wonderful words. The truth about the one who spoke them and the truth of our Heavenly Father to whom Jesus spoke this prayer. What a wonderful God we have. How awesome it is that He loves us to the extent that He does.
