  1. Fellowshipping in God with Other Christians is how we Christians remain reminded of God's Promises. For even in a Christians life there is much to do and think about, so we share in that which we revert, to All those we encounter on life's journey. So to both mature in Christ personally (balance); to do the Will of God, but it's not only "to do it" but that in "living in" Christ, is who we are. God's Will is Easy - All About Love, even in His Wrath He is Justified and True. True to the core of Love, all the way through, by and by, and around about again. God's Love is the key foundational Truth that is Perfect beyond perfection, and that can not, for existence sake be altered. God is so wonderful! And in so being we extend that which we are about to other's, providing guidance for the "Accepting" should they heed the knock on their hearts door and accept that God's Love is nigh/urging them to seek Him, and so receive life through Jesus Christ - by heartily repentance and asking forgiveness of (*sins, transgression's, & iniquities), and following Him/God/The Holy Spirit. So we learn from each others life schema's, extend our being in righteousness, that we may be found, proving the light is Good, is Life Itself! Amen. *(Sin)=poor decision (Transgression)=an in your face sin to God (Iniquities)=Transgressions passed down by the fathers.
  2. The only thing bitter about Revelation that I observe is the unbeliever's killing eachother, and the destruction that will come upon them for rejecting Christ. God hates sin and the evil heart. Unbeliever's point at God and say look at how terrible He is, without even seeing how they themselves are the one's who brought it on by following the lusts of there own flesh, and persecuting those who are all about love and forgiveness to the highest degree in Christ. They would rather believe some lie that brings them some temporary pleasure in the flesh, that does nothing but ultimately hurt them and those around them, rather than believe there is pleasure in giving up the lusts of the flesh and live according to Gods standards. God is a high like no other high could possibly come close to, and He doesn't leave you in the dust in the morning, but He continues to Live in us as we Live in Him, for His glory, in which He glorifies Himself in Us. Yes Amen!!! And nobody get's hurt in any kind of way. And they will fight it all the way to hell, just because they don't feel like trusting God, and living righteously in one accord with Gods' children. They don't feel like taking the time to hear and or read the word of God, because that would be doing something constructive, and also because God is against those against Him. They don't want to be humble. Go figure. An overall observation I noticed in Rev 6 - 10 is that the Seals and the Horses all come from one the other, and all have the attributes of Christ Himself in everyway, and the Trumpets and Angels as well. They all are describing what Jesus said that He would do Himself. (I see) God doesn't need anybody or anything else to do what He has said, but uses the metaphor's so that we can understand because our minds are so small, and we tend to attach understanding to that which we can see. So He show's us all about Him. To God be the Power, Glory, & Honor, for ever Amen!!! This observation does not in anyway cancel out any part of The Word of God.
  3. Through the media and way's of the world, if a christian is not diligent in their relationship with God, it is very likely that they become corrupt and tolerant of false teachings and behaviors unchristian like in others, because society would have us all be alike in and with them, so as to "not rock the boat" and live in peace & harmony with one another. When in fact there is no peace & harmony in the flesh without God and by Gods' Standards. And the Prastor's tolerate things Christ considers an abomination to meet their budget and also to not create a disruption among them, all though they are clearly divided. Sad indeed
  4. The kind of people who make up the "great multitude" are those who believe Jesus died with our sins on Him and rose again to present us forgiven and washed clean by His blood, to God on the judgement day, and accept Him as their savior. "Those" come from all walks of human life, and follow Jesus in His way, being obedient unto death. Gods' Spirit causes them to bow down and worship Him with songs of praise, glory, and honour . The "Amazing Grace" is that it is amazing that God would save such sinner's as I by His Grace (freely given)!!!
  5. From Revelation 7:1-4 we learn that God seals his children of the tribes of Isrreal (those who love & follow Him), to protect them from impending doom reserved for the wicked. It is also apparent that God has a plan and is in control of carrying out the plan. He leads the way from the beginning to the end, and at all points in between & round about!
  6. Sin deadens a person of the True Word of God and brings the sinner into bondage unto it. The way out of bondage to sin is through the Open Door of Jesus Christ in which we turn around from the evil within, repent (heartily) & ask for forgivness of the evil deeds. And rest in Him, fully assured of salvation. Also we must renew our minds daily in the Word of God! It is not flesh & blood that we wrestle with, but of the powers & principalities of darkness. It does us good to remember that when tempted to judge someone else.
  7. Sexual sin is about the desires of the flesh/self, and therefore oppose's Christ, who call's us to walk a Spiritual life in Him. By experience through fellowship with so-called christians, those who would like to be so-called, but that do not believe "all of The Word of God", are rebellious, false teachers, and only agree with the parts of The Bible that make them right without addressing that which is wrong. But get to the part where God call's "it" out, and all of the sudden "that don't apply, and man wrote it"! (That is a responce I have received on a couple of occasations from people who claim to be born again christians). Excuses being in the nature of: Whom ever is human with human needs and God created them, so it must be acceptable to fulfill that desire of the flesh, with whom ever, where ever. And well, in Africa if the women are found fertile before marriage, then they are worthy of marrying so as to bring on the next generations, so they say it must be right to have illicit sex...etc. False brethren try to take the parts of the flesh they enjoy and incorporate it into their belief as acceptable because people every where are doing it, even in the church's, because they want to have the best of both worlds. And refuse to apply Gods' Word to there own life, as in having a personal relationship with God, in one accord, in one Spirit, unto God, just to save face (so they think) and try and avoid the suffering we were called into with Jesus.
  8. The Fifth Seal: Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Their proximity to the altar signifies a resting place, for those martyred for their testimony in Christ. Being that the souls under the Alter are already there and therefore no longer tormented. I believe their prayers are for those still alive and being persecuted to this day - and Yes their prayers are Christian and justified. Their White Robes are a promise from God, that they have been forgiven and because they perservered through the trials of saving faith, that they are washed clean of the crimson stains that are a result of walking in the way's of the flesh/evil heart. Wait a little longer, prompts me to remain diligent in my quest for God, so as to win more souls to Christ, that they too may rest in Christ and quit hurting eachother over the stupidity of the flesh. All will be fulfilled soon enough.
  9. We contend for the faith, so that we may drink freely of the water of life with the saints . We already know by experience, the difficulty of righteousness while under pressure, so there fore we must make an effort, a very stong effort to remain balanced in The Word through the trials of life, be that which they may... If ye be off some other way then ye be damned. The danger in not chanllenging the doctrines of other's, is just that, not proving them/testing their spirit, which if deceived leads to death. To know if "one" is false, ye must know & understand God. II Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. So that ye may defend the Word of Truth & remain in Righteouses for Christ sake, whom is glorified in us!!!
  10. After the fullfilling of all things, Jesus opens the seals containing the final destruction of evil and evil people, but foremost for the glorifying of His saints .
  11. The quality of worship should be that of belief. One Love for God as the Father & as the Son of man for He is the Alpha & Omega (as well as His Holy Spirit), no other God exists or ever will, for He loved us first, enough to shed His own blood for us, that we become one in Him.
  12. The truth was written on our hearts by God before we were conceived, and thereby we recognize the truth and draw nigh unto it. We need Gods Spirit to teach and carry us along through the darkness, so that we be not deceived and sidetracked; by stumbling blocks devised by the wiles satan, as we grow in experience and maturity in the Lord, as we are being prepared to inherit the nations to be a Royal Priesthood unto God!!! The Holy Ghost gives us what to say at all times.
  13. God has made us a kingdom of priest to reign on the earth, and to rule over the nations with an iron rod with Jesus. The kingdom is the body of believers, that through obedience to God have overcome the wiles of satan, with charity, works by thy labour (service), with patience, and through poverty, with faith, and holding fast The Name of Jesus. Amen Hallelujah!!!
  14. Because like you said, like God said, He moves us to speak; He gives us what to say. Thank you for pointing out the ship analogy. It does me good to rmember to let go & let God stear when up against the tempest. And Always!!! For God will have His way, and I can make it much easier on myself if I would keep my flesh out of it. It's not about me! but about God! Hallelujah!!!
  15. Christ' obedience unto death, without spot or blemish in His humaness, is His Worthiness. He Is Perfect In Every Way!!! Why is this note & praise worth? Because He overcame the ways of the world and was the perfect sacrafice for us, and is All deserving of Praise & Honour!!! Amen Halleulujah Praise God
  16. Come In the Spirit Look & See God see's all at all times Surrender Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty, which was, and is , and is to come God created all things for His pleasure (which brings us pleasure in Him) God holds the Book of Life Jesus prevails! Praise with songs & musical instruments Send up prayers Worthy is the Lamb We're a kingdom of priest's unto God Bless God Humble yourself's Amen
  17. hmmmmm I am in a dark place (the world), and the Scriptures are a light unto it, that guides my/our paths in and to all righteousness. The darkness represents the wiles of satan. The Light represents the Purity, Trueth, Honor & Glory of Abba Father. The light show's every thing, even that which is hidden, as well as the thoughts of the heart, so there really are no surprises, all is revealed, and we have all ready overcome the darkness through Jesus' Blood, which He shed for us to bring us back into the light, where we once were with HIM.
  18. Holy Holy Holy I fall down on my knees << Gather's Vocal Band<<<excellent song (They All Are ) Worth is the Lamb Sea of glass I recognize plenty of verses in songs. I just can't recall the titles But as I was listing them HALLELUJAH kept coming to my mind and on my lips to list I posted this once, but some how it showed me as a guest and didn't appear exactly right. So this is a repost of the same post.
  19. When one of my sister's was dieing. I wanted to talk to her about it. My family wouldn't hear of it though, not even to them. They got mad at me & discouraged me from facing that which was right infront of us all. All's I could do was mourn silently. They'll talk about death flipantly when everyone appears healthy, but they are afraid to talk about it on a personal level when death seems apparent. And they don't want to say good bye, neither do I, but I did and I asked God to put His arms around Her and take her, for she became suddenly very ill, with an incurable (by man anyway) and I wanted her to go home to God so that she could live, with God, and not have to be in this wretched world anymore, in pain, and where people persecute us for loving God (she was a new christian too). I wish I could go home. I miss Abba Father in the physical and just want to see Him and talk to Him, right infront of Him, at His feet, where I am physically with Him, touching Him. I know that there is something that I need to accomplish here before I go home and that is being a Virtuous Christian in Christ, doing the will of God so as to be an example of Christ Glory and Power, for other's to witness and come to Christ also. I think if we could have looked at it has her tent was being packed up for departure, that she was going home, rather than being selfish and denying that fact, then we all would have began to heal at a very deep level & grow in Christ all the more. The significance of "departure", is that there is more to come. Death to these bodies - On Gods Terms - is the beginning of life ever more in Christ!
  20. The churches were criticized for: Abandoning first love Blashpemy Teaching the doctrine of Balaam Promoted Jezebel to teach & seduce the congregation into committing fornication & eating things sacrificed to idols Sloathfulness Being lukewarm & self-righteous The churches were praised for: Patient endurance Works through tribulation & poverty Holding fast to the Name of Jesus Charity, service, faith, patience, & ending works greater than that at the beginning Being watchful & strengthening that which was ready to die & did not deny Jesus Name Kept Gods' Word although weak (white garments) These observations should shape the 21st Century to have zeal for God because He first loved us and is The Only God. The Alpha & Omega!!! In Jesus Name Amen!!!
  21. Christian character is automatic if "one" truely repented & accepted Jesus as their Savior & God! And essential of our testimony & witness of/to God in our lives. If one is growing, no matter how slow or fast in Christ, then they are saved and protected, and we encourage them to renew their minds daily & to repent of that they stumbled over, daily & often daily. For again, as long as we are growing in Christ, then His Character is being built up in us !
  22. I heard an expression not long ago about the church being a business and that Pastor's will try to keep people there who tithe no matter what, so they can keep the money flowing in! That right there may be a cause of the "apathy" - like, whatever, have your opinion & say what you want, just stay. So income false brethren unaware, corrupting the church, and thereby being lukewarm. But are the false breathren really unnoticed (unaware)? I think not. To combat this spiritual apathy, God has already given us instruction: to cut it off and cast it out; it's better to go to heaven mamned then the whole body perish! The congregation all being of one mind & accord unto God will revive our witness in God! Having Virtue: Goodness, Knowledge, Self-Control, Perseverance, Godliness, & Brotherly Kindness with Agape Love!
  23. Practicing in the trade giulds of heathen religions is spiritually destructive because those practices oppose life and are totally self-centered. The compromises I see happening in church's today are Practicing Homosexual Preacher's. Church Pastor's marrying Homosexual couple's and accepting their life style. I see a lack of submission to God in totality. I also see everything He consider's an abomination, being accepted in the church. Idol worship, not reading or hearing The True Word of God as well as obeying God, & lieing about personal intentions, are real compromises that dilute vital Christianity, etc.
  24. My understanding of "agape love" describes Gods' love for us! I also use it when expressing my love for others - no pretense! As far as the church goes. I don't allow the sin's of the congrigation to determine if I stay or not, that is as long as the Pastor is teaching & speaking the Truth Of God! Now if the Pastor minimizes Jesus' sufferings, and does not believe in the gifts of The Spirit, then I'm outta there!
  25. I apologize for being a day late on submitting this post. My pc went down yesterday, and a just, a little while ago, got the OS reinstalled and optimized. Having a disciplined devotional life keeps me on Gods' path. When I forget or don't have time for daily devotions, then what ever I was doing comes to naught & I end up wallowing in self over the time wasted, and have a hard time getting back on track with God. For my spirit to fully open up to God, I need to obey Him in every aspect of life!
