BIBLE TOPIC |
BELIEF DESCRIPTION |
SCRIPTURE

|
ABILITY |
Always ask God, in prayer,
for help in trials and to resist temptations and the ability to endure and persevere in our
relationship with Him in the midst of pressures, distractions and difficult
circumstances. |
Ezr 2:68-70
2 Cor 1:8
2 Cor 8:3 |
|
ACTS |
We sing praise to God and tell of all his
mighty acts throughout the world.
God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
A prudent man acts out of knowledge and we are to do our charitable works in
secret and our Father will reward us.
Galatians chapter 5, tells us that those who live according to the acts of
the sinful nature will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Example, sexual
immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry etc. |

ABOMINATION |
Abominable means detestable

ABOUNDING |
The Lord is abounding in love and
faithfulness and He is able to make all grace abound to us, so that in all
things at all times, having all that we need, we will abound in every good
work. |

Psa 86:5, 15
2 Cor 9:8
Phil 1:9 |
|
Abstinence
|
I love God's way of truth,
holiness, purity & righteousness.
Total abstinence from fornication, sexual immorality, worldly pleasures and
avoidance of all evil and non-conformance to the world's ways, customs or
traditions.
Uninfluenced, uncorrupted, unpolluted by society.
I avoid and detest the sexual and moral degradation, corruption & perversion
happening in the world today.
I want to be holy as God is holy.
I'm sanctified, (set apart and made holy for God)!
I hate sexual immorality (totally obscene and I flee from it)!
PSA 24:3-5 - Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ? Who may
stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not
lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing
from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.
PSALM 18:23 - I have been blameless before him and have
kept myself from sin.
I live a life of holiness, godliness, purity, truth and righteousness,
according to God's Word (I keep abstinence in all aspects) to please my Lord
Jesus and therefore God punishes all our enemies for any wicked schemes
(including false information spoken or written against His children).
PSA 26:1-10 - Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a
blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. Test me, O LORD,
and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for your love is ever before me, and I
walk continually in your truth. I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I
consort with hypocrites; I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit
with the wicked. I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds. I love
the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells. Do not take
away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men, in whose hands
are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
ISA 54:17 - no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you
will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication
from me,” declares the LORD.
I practice all forms of
abstinence:
I practice social isolation, because we, as God's children are
sanctified, which means, spiritually set apart and made holy to God and we are to avoid pollution and evil in the world.
There is nothing in common between believers and unbelievers and I
keep away from germs and bacteria and perverts and feel very uncomfortable around people.
2 COR 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what
do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light
have with darkness.
For my entire life, I practice all forms of abstinence, to please my Lord
Jesus.
Firstly, I obey God's commands and the Bible tells us that we are to avoid
sexual immorality and gives an example of twenty-three thousand who died in
one day.
1 COR 10:8 - We should not commit sexual immorality, as some
of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
Also, sexually transmitted diseases, and all kinds of viruses, germs and
bacteria are on the increase.
In Australia, Gonorrhoea is on the rise and also AIDS around the world.
I believe immorality brings curses from God.
In most cases, nothing can be known about a person's background and the
majority of people today are fornicators involved in different and all kinds of bizarre, repulsive,
zoo activities and perversions including incest, bestiality, prostitution
and group activities and other unnatural sexual relations, such as drag
relationships etc. etc. etc.
We are not to go into specific details about what the ungodly do in secret,
as westboro do,
but we are to rebuke sin. (eph 5:11-13).
(Don't flaunt it in my face or in the face of my true Christian brothers and
sisters who are God's faithful servants and who obey God's commands and don't
force us to accept your immoral and obscene (offensive and repulsive) practices!
You have demons and you need to cast them out!
You need to proceed to the prayer, repentance and deliverance pages without
delay!
This is why I use an internet filtered ISP, because
I heard that all kinds of immorality occurs on the internet and I want to
keep safe at all times, both online and offline.
Practicing abstinence also makes me feel and look healthy and much younger even than
my young age.
Because I keep abstinence I have a right to judge the world, but I
myself cannot be judged by the world, because I'm NOT involved in
immorality.
1 COR 2:15 - The spiritual
man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any
man's judgment:
I thank God that I'm in the faithful remnant (minority) category. I seek
after God's love.
I love purity. The devil hates purity.
I'm NOT in the world (majority) category and that's why I isolate myself
from the world.
I never seek to be "loved" (the world's definition) by the world.
I choose abstinence over riches any day.
I reject what the world offers in terms of everything, e.g. media &
entertainment.
I don't like it & I don't want it polluting my mind! Please don't force me
to look at or hear it, because I refuse it! I consider it a distraction!
The addition of extra channels would add to the pollution and just make it
worse!
Therefore, the best way for me to avoid it all is if I chuck out the tv,
radio, magazines, newspapers & carefully select the websites I visit, which
I've already done.
Schools and Media will be judged for what they promote that is offensive,
evil and immoral and not in accordance with God's Laws. For example,
encouraging atheism. Also movies and lyrics influencing people to commit
sins such as idolatry, e.g. witchcraft and satan worship, sexual immorality,
rape, drugs, crime, violence, suicide, etc. |

ABUNDANT |
Abundance is one of the promises in God's
word to us for obedience.
For example, the Lord will grant us abundant prosperity and fruitfulness,
grace, mercy, peace, love, joy and happiness and we will celebrate His
abundant goodness. |

ADMONISH |
Admonish means to exhort
(urge or advise earnestly) and reprove.
Let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and as we teach and admonish, and
as we sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in our hearts to
God. |
Col 1:28
Col 3:16
1 Thess 5:12 |
|
ADULTERY |
Adultery is forbidden in God's
Word.
Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and
the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
The only ground for divorce is marital unfaithfulness and remarriage is
forbidden unless the husband dies.
If your eyes are full of lust, gouge them out and throw them away, so that
you will not have your whole body thrown in hell.
God will judge adulterers and all the sexually immoral, therefore
marriage must be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure.

AFFLICTION |
Affliction may be a trial, but
God will deliver us from affliction (distress) and we are to be patient
during these times.
Those who are hostile toward God and refuse to listen to Him, will find that
their afflictions are multiplied seven times over, according to the Book of
Leviticus. |

as rottenness in his bones.

ALCOHOL
|
There are biblical references to wine in
moderation, wine partaken of at Passover, and Jesus Christ turning the water
into wine at the wedding in Cana.
Obviously, addiction or overindulgence in wine is forbidden and leads to
debauchery.
The Bible says that strong drink is for him who is ready to perish.

ALIVE |
The Lord commands us to
obey all His Laws and to fear Him, so that we might always prosper and be
kept alive.
The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in
His unfailing love and He delivers them from death and keeps them alive in
famine.
Those who belong to Christ have crucified the sinful, carnal nature, and we
are alive in Christ, passed from death to life, from darkness to light.
At the coming of the Lord, the dead in Christ will rise first, and we are
who are still alive and are left will be caught up together (rapture) with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with the lord
forever.
Christ is the living one and He lives for ever and ever, for all eternity!

God said
"let us make man in our image,"
to Adam and Eve "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it."
And the Lord God cursed the serpent above all cattle, and above every beast
of the field, for deceiving Eve.
God said to Noah that He would put an end to all flesh for the earth is
filled with violence and the bow shall be in the cloud so that He will look
upon it, that He may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
God changed Jacob's name to Israel.
When God told Abraham that Sarah would bear him a son, He told Abraham to
name the child Isaac.
God said to Moses to say to the children of Israel that "I AM has sent me to
you."
The Lord said to Rebekah, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples
from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the
other, and the older will serve the younger," referring
to Jacob and Esau, being the two nations. |

ANGELS |
Angels are ministering spirits
sent by God to help those who are to receive salvation.
God's Angels are immortal (they never die).
The Bible never mentions for us to worship angels.
Every true believer has angels, helping and protecting them in their lives.
e.g. Guardian angels.
References to angels in heaven:

Psalm 148:2

|
ANGER OF GOD |
Anger of God is clearly portrayed in
Scripture.
Our God is a God of love and compassion and He is also a God of wrath, anger
and consuming fire: Heb 12:29.
We read this truth in both the Old and New Testaments and tells us God is
angry with the wicked every day and He displays His never ending anger upon
the wicked and our adversaries.
For example: Psalm 7:11; Psalm 69:24;
Psalm 78:49-50; Psalm 106:29.
A search for the keywords anger and wrath, gives us a much
clearer picture.

ANGER OF MAN |
We must
be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
A harsh word stirs up anger and we are not to associate with one who is
easily angered.
An angry man stirs up dissension (disagreement that gives rise to strife). |

ANOINT |
Oil is used to anoint one who

with oil and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. |

|
APOSTLES |
Names of the twelve and the
appointing of the twelve mentioned in the Book of Matthew and Mark.
Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles and
Peter an apostle to the Jews.
There are false apostles masquerading as servants of righteousness.
The things that mark an apostle are miracles, signs and wonders. |

APPARITION |
We find examples of
apparitions in the Bible:
Often angels appeared on earth looking like ordinary men.
Two men in dazzling white clothes present at the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ: Luke 24:4. Ascension of Christ: Acts 1:10.
Angel of the Lord: Luke 1:11.
Moses and Elijah: Matt 17:3.
Tongues of Fire: Acts 2:3.
Jacob wrestled all night with a strange man in Gen 32:24 and Hos
12:4 mentions was an angel. |

ARK |
The
coming of the Son of Man is described as being similar to the days before
the flood where people were eating and drinking, up until the day Noah
entered the ark, and the flood came and took them all away. Therefore no one
knows the day or hour of Christ's return.
Those who claim to know, are false prophets, deceiving themselves and others
too. |

ASCENSION OF JESUS |
Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest ascended to
heaven. He is seated at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in
Heaven.
When Jesus ascended to heaven, a cloud received Him and the people who
witnessed were told by two men dressed in white, that He would come again in
like manner as they had seen Him go. |

16:19-20

|
ATONEMENT |
Through the precious Blood of Christ we are
purified from all our sins.
Jesus Christ, our merciful and faithful high priest, was the perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sins.
The Day of Atonement is a holy day in which we hold a sacred assembly, rest
from all our work, and deny ourselves, meaning that we fast.

AUTHORITY |
Jesus Christ has been given all authority in
heaven and on earth.
According to Luke 10:19, We, true believers, have been given
authority over snakes and scorpions and to trample over all the power of the
enemy (satan and the whole kingdom of darkness) and nothing will harm us.
How does God demonstrate His
Sovereignty?
* God’s omnipotence -
supreme and unlimited mighty power (Jeremiah 32:17),
omnipresence
- present everywhere at all times (Jeremiah
23:23-24 ), and omniscience
- all knowing, (Psalm 139)
are instruments of His sovereignty.
(Please read tract
‘Attributes, Qualities and Characteristics’).
* God has given Jesus Christ the
authority to execute judgment. Universal and awesome recognition of God is
through miraculous signs and wonders. He controls or directs the lives of
individuals, events, situations or circumstances.
* God sits enthroned in the
heavens, (Psalm 113:5-6) and He has the sovereign right to do
whatever He pleases (not in an arbitrary way, but according to His own
perfect will) in the heavens above, and on the earth below.
* An example of Christ’s
sovereignty is in the crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus willingly gave His
life for us, to set us free from all our sins. No one overpowered Him.
Christ defeated Satan, and the whole kingdom of darkness. Jesus said
to Pilate, that no one has power over Him, except what was given from
heaven. (John 19:10-11)
* Christ has priority, pre-eminence
and sovereignty over all creation.
* Christ is the firstborn over all
creation; and the first to rise from the dead. God raised Jesus Christ from

* ‘Firstborn’ means that Christ is
the divine, royal son of highest privilege, honor and position in God’s
Kingdom. He is the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

BAPTISM |
In the Bible, Baptism is commanded
immediately upon Repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior.
Believers were baptized immediately when
they confessed and believed with all their heart that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God.
Faith and repentance is the
pre-requirement. There is no waiting period or any other prerequisite to baptism
as we find in Scripture:
Three thousand baptized in one day upon repentance:
Acts 2:38-41
-
Peter replied, “Repent and
be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all
whom the Lord our God will call.” With many other words he warned them; and
he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those
who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added
to their number that day.
Baptized upon faith in
Jesus Christ:
Acts 8:12-13
- But when they
believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the
name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon himself
believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by
the great signs and miracles he saw.
Lydia and her
household upon faith in the Lord:
Acts 16:13-15
- On the
Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to
find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had
gathered there. One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in
purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord
opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. When she and the members of
her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me
a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she
persuaded us.
Baptized
immediately upon faith in Jesus Our Lord:
Acts 16:31-34
- They
replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your
household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the
others in his house. At that hour of the night the jailer took them and
washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized.
The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was
filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole
family.
Baptized
immediately upon belief in the Lord:
Acts 18:8 - Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire
household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him
believed and were baptized.
Acts 22:14-16
-
“Then he said: ‘The God of
our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and
to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all men of what you
have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized
and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’
Baptized immediately:
Acts 8:36-39 - As they traveled along the road, they came
to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be
baptized?” And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the
eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up
out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the
eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
Baptism by immersion is the Biblical method. Going under the water
symbolizes the death of the old-self with its sins and coming up out of the
water symbolizes our New life in Christ Jesus.
Baptism is a serious commitment because once we are baptized we must demonstrate that we have repented of our sins by the way we live our
lives in godliness and holiness.
Examples: Acts 8:35-40, Acts 16:25-34 &
Acts 2:41-42
Any minister, pastor or priest who does not respect the commandment to baptize is
false and a stumbling block to one's salvation.

BEAUTY |
God is perfect in beauty
and He shines forth, from Zion.
The rich man is compared to a withered plant that will fade away even while
he goes about his business.
The context of the passage in the Book of Peter is wives and husbands and we are to focus
on inward, unfading beauty. e.g. holiness, godliness, gentle and quiet
spirit.
We are not to focus on outward adornment, e.g. gold jewelry and fine
clothes. |

BIBLE STUDY |
The Bible is our daily
spiritual food as we must be in the right spiritual shape.
We set aside at least half an hour each day for Bible Study.
We start with a brief prayer asking God our Father for wisdom, knowledge and
understanding as we read, study and meditate on His Word.
It is a brilliant idea to include a daily reading schedule.
For example, start with the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and read 2-3 chapters a day. |

BIRTH OF JESUS |
Jesus was
born in Bethlehem.
Mary the mother of Jesus and Joseph were pledged to be married at the time
of Jesus Birth. Jesus was called 'Immanuel' meaning "God with us."
An angel of the Lord told the shepherds who visited Baby Jesus where to find
Him.
The Magi (wise men) who visited Baby Jesus followed a star in the east to
know where to find Him.
Birth of Jesus foretold. |

BLASPHEMY |
According to Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, blasphemy is the 'act of expressing lack of reverence for God.'
In the Bible, blasphemy is claiming to be God Himself.
The high priest interpreted Jesus' answer that He was the Son of God, as
'blasphemy.' (Mt 26:64-65). But Jesus told the truth. He was God manifest in the flesh. God raised Jesus from
the dead, showing that He is the Son of God (Rom 1:4; 1 Tim 3:16; 1 Pet
3:18). Jesus also stated in Jn 14:28 that "my Father is greater than I."
In the last days, many will come in Christ's name, claiming to be Christ
Himself, and will deceive many (Mt 24:5). Claiming to be God and
making oneself equal with God, and declaring one has authority to change the
scriptures is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, an unpardonable sin that
will never be forgiven (Mt 12:31). |

salvation, eternal life and the kingdom of God.

live a life of holiness, godliness, purity, truth and righteousness. |

CALLED |
Many are called (invited), but few are
chosen.
Firstly, we must hear God's call, then we respond to His call, and then we
live a life according to His Word.
I believe the 'Parable of the Sower' explains why many are called and few
are chosen.
Also, few find the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. |

CHARITY |
Jesus
commands us to do our charitable works secretly and not boasting in public

We are to help and treat them with respect (not avoid them).
Feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, clothe the poor and look after
the sick. |

CHOSEN |
In the Book of Corinthians, we have a
description of whom God has chosen before the creation of the world and few
are chosen.
God has purposefully chosen what the world arrogantly looks down upon and considers "nothing", to
nullify/bring to zero, those who are "something
important" in the eyes of the world and put to shame those who are considered "wise" by human
standards.
God demonstrates His Supreme Mighty Power and He overthrows the learning of the wise and
turns it into nonsense, as we boast in Him and therefore
man's pride is brought low.
The chosen ones belong to God (not the world).
God brings about justice for His elect and when God is for us, who will be against us,
who will bring an accusation against us?
God Himself declares us not guilty! |

CHRISTMAS AND OTHER
HUMAN TRADITIONS
|
Jesus Christ is not a baby.
Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords and He is returning with
Great Power and Glory to judge the world.
The word 'Christmas' and 'December 25th' is nowhere mentioned in the Bible.
Christmas is a highly-commercialized tradition.
Luke 2:8 tells us that the shepherds were keeping watch over their
flocks at night.
This could not happen in the freezing weather on December 25th.
God is not pleased with pagan celebrations, eating turkeys and getting drunk
with wine which only leads to debauchery, nor is He pleased with Christmas
trees and santa claus which are pagan symbols.
This tradition promotes the love of pleasure rather than the love of God.
I celebrate only Festivals that are appointed by God. I don't celebrate
man-made, pagan traditions such as Christmas, Easter, New Years Eve
(observing date changing from Dec
31st to 1st Jan).
Halloween is idolatry & an abomination to God. |
Mark 7:9
Eph 5:18
Col 2:8
Rev 19:14-16 |
|
CHURCH |
It is the Lord our God who calls and adds to
the Church (not the priest or the minister and the priest is not our
father).
The Church is the Body of Christ.
Believers are the members of the Body of Christ.
Church is not the physical building.
There are references in the New Testament, where believers were gathering
for worship at home.
Our true fellowship is with God and His Son Jesus Christ. Christ is the gate
for the sheep.
I believe God is calling the faithful remnant (God's true church) Lk 12:32
& Matt 18:20, out of the lukewarm, Laodicean
churches, according to Rev 18:4, as this is the state the churches
will be in prior to Christ's return.
God will hold priests and ministers responsible for what they do and do not preach in
Churches.
The lukewarm, superficial preaching is not good enough in preparing people
for the Return of Christ.
Bible Truths as well as Biblical commands, morals and principles are crucial to be
preached and explained.
In the Great Commission, Christ specifically mentions: Matt 28:18-20:
1. Make disciples of all nations.
2. Baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
3. Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. ie. God's
commands and include baptism, repentance, Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the message of Christ, the Cross
of Christ, Resurrection and Christ's Return, Prophecy, Deliverance etc.
Issues for youth and adults like avoiding immorality, idolatry, witchcraft,
gossip, slander and drugs, etc.
The scripture in Heb 10:25 does not
mean going to the nearest church where pagan traditions are being taught or
where there is immorality, gossip, slander or witchcraft (as was rampant in
the early church).
It is referring to assembling with true believers where true doctrine is
being taught, in a non-corrupt environment.
God's faithful remnant will separate themselves from people who are involved
in such practices.
Therefore, God is calling His chosen ones (faithful remnant) out of the
lukewarm, Laodicean churches. (Rev 1:14-22). This is why I worship God and celebrate the
Sabbath at home.
Scripture mentions that a little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough
rise.
Therefore it takes the sin of one member to spread throughout the whole
congregation, and this happened in the church at Corinth.
If one associates with evil company, that person has become a partaker of
evil deeds and will share in the same punishment (1 Cor 5). Bad
company corrupts a person. Do you know the lifestyle of each and every
member in the congregation? How many in the congregation are actually
disciples? True disciples of Christ live a life of self-discipline
(self-sacrifice or abstinence).
How many actually obey the commandment to expel the
immoral "brother?"
NOTEWORTHY: I was very disappointed with the conduct, behavior and
attitude of the "ministers" and "members" in the congregations and the
lukewarm Laodicean atmosphere and I left because I do not allow
myself to be corrupted by anyone. I'm a godly person (not a worldly person)
and live a life of abstinence.
I love to express myself and tell you that I have a sincere and pure
motivation to please and serve God, not my own self-interests (for example, not
money, not my belly, not the world, not the other pleasures of this world, etc).
I thank God that I've continued to serve Him for many years despite not
receiving any support in my ministry (emotional and/or financial), and with
God's help I will continue to serve Him for the rest of my life as I'm not
interested in riches, because God is my first love and first priority.
I don't concern myself with the things of this world (they are worthless and
useless).
If God took away all your wealth, would you be "loving" and "serving Him" in your
ministry?
I doubt that many ministries would.
My belief is that many love wealth, prestige, status, position, reputation and
the so-called "special rights and privileges" that come with being a minister.
(This is why there is so much strife, arguments and quarreling in the
churches).
Besides, I don't see many "ministers" driving old bombs. Many wear expensive
suits, leather shoes, rings and other jewellery and love to wine and dine in restaurants, take
trips and stay in luxurious motel accommodation and satisfy their own pleasures.
The Bible teaches us a life of self-sacrifice and therefore I never want that
kind of lifestyle.
Very few churches today teach God's commands and/or practice what they
preach.
There are many lukewarm ministers and very few
who are faithful to God. |

who is in heaven.
The love of many people will grow cold because sin would be so rampant
everywhere.
In the Book of Revelation, there is recorded a letter from Jesus to the
Laodiceans and He said they were in poor spiritual condition and gave them a
suggestion in Rev 3:14-22.
The apostle Peter warns that many people shall follow false teachers and the
consequence being that Christ and the truth will be slandered.
In the last days, some will turn away from what we believe and will follow
lying spirits and teachings that come from demons.

COLOSSIANS |
The letter to the Colossians
was written by Paul and Timothy.
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in light.
Christ in us, the hope of glory is "the mystery which hath seen hid from
ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints?"
Put to death whatever belongs to the earthly nature: sexual immorality,
impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, which is idolatry, because the wrath of
God comes
on the children of disobedience.
Charity is "the bond of perfectness."
Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs should be used to teach and admonish one
another.
Paul advised that wives submit to their husbands, as is fitting in the Lord
and husbands must love their wives and not be harsh with them.
Fathers do not provoke your children to anger so they will not become
discouraged.
Paul sent Tychicus and Onesimus to deliver the letter that he had written to
the Colossians. |

COMFORT |

COMMANDMENT |
The
commandments in the Old Testament are elaborated in the New Testament.
1.
"I am the LORD your God," who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
"You shall
have no other gods
before me."
2. "You shall
not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or
on the earth beneath or in the waters below."
"You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of
those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments."
3.
"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God,"
"for the LORD
will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name."
4.
"Remember the Sabbath day by
keeping it holy."
"Six days you
shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor
your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
5.
"Honor your father and your mother,"
"so that you
may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you."
6.
"You shall not murder."
7. "You shall not commit adultery."
8. "You shall not steal."
9. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor."
10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet
your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey,
or anything that belongs to your neighbor." |

COMMUNION
|
The Holy Bible mentions
partaking of Unleavened Bread representing the broken body of Jesus Christ
and wine representing His Blood poured out for the forgiveness of our sins,
once a year, at Passover, a Holy Day appointed by God.
It is crucial that we do so in a worthy manner and conduct a spiritual
examination on ourselves prior to Passover.
There is never any indication that we partake of Communion daily, weekly or
monthly. |
Luke 22:13-20
1 Cor 11:24-29
|
|
COMPANION |
We are never to associate with
evil and never to be partners with unbelievers, as believers and
unbelievers, righteousness and wickedness, light and darkness have nothing
in common. They do not agree. |
1 Cor 5:9-11
2 Cor 6:14 |
|
COMPASSION |
The
Lord is gracious and compassionate and the Book of Psalms includes many
references.
God has mercy and compassion on whom He chooses.

CONDEMNATION |
There
is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, we have confessed our
past sins to God and renounced them.
We are a new creation, have passed from death to life and have a new life in
Christ. |
Rom 8:1-3
2 Cor 5:17
|
|
CONFESSION |
Firstly, we confess Jesus Christ is Our Lord
and Savior.
When we confess, renounce and turn away from our sins, we are set free and
purified from all unrighteousness through the precious Blood of Jesus
Christ.

CONFIDENCE |
Our confidence is in God.
Through faith in Christ we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
We are confident that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus and we also have confidence that if
we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
Our confidence will be richly rewarded. |

CONFIRMATION |
God confirms His promises with
an oath.
Salvation was first announced by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those
who heard Him. God also testified to it by miracles, signs and wonders, and
gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
The apostles spoke boldly about the Lord, who proved, confirmed and
demonstrated that their message was true by giving them the power to perform
miracles and wonders. |

CONQUEROR |

CONSCIENCE |
We are to keep a clear conscience, and
live a life of holiness and godliness, so that those who speak maliciously
against us will be ashamed of their slander. |

'dedicate to the service of God.'
We are to consecrate ourselves and be Holy. |

|
CONTENTMENT |
Godliness with contentment is great gain.
If we have food and clothing, we will be satisfied with that, because the
love of money have made people fall into the devil's snare of temptation,
harmful and foolish pleasures and desires and have brought ruin and
destruction upon themselves and those foolish people who are so eager for
money have wandered away from the faith and have suffered much grief (deep
sorrow) because of their lack of self-control. |
Prov 13:25
Phil 4:11-12
1 Tim 6:6-10
Heb 13:5 |
|
CONTRITE |
Contrite means deeply penitent.
We express this in true, heartfelt repentance.
God listens to the prayers of those who are deeply sorry for their sins and
have turned away from those sins. (Confession and renunciation of sins). |
Psa 51:17
Psa 57:14-15
Isa 66:2 |
|
CONTROL |
The mind controlled by the spirit is life
and peace. We, as children of God, are controlled by the spirit, because the
Spirit of God lives in us and we have the Spirit of Christ because we belong
to Christ.
We learn to control our own bodies in a way that is holy and honorable.
Be alert and self-controlled and live self-controlled, upright and godly
lives in this present age.
The Book of Timothy mentions how overseers and deacons are to control
themselves.

COVETOUSNESS |
Covetousness means to desire something that belongs to someone else.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death the sinful, carnal
nature, with its passions and desires and have put on the new self created
to be like Christ, in true righteousness and holiness, and therefore we are
spiritually minded.
Our focus is heavenward, and the things of this world don't mean anything to
us, therefore we don't concern ourselves with temporary things that don't
provide any long lasting peace, happiness or satisfaction. e.g.
houses, cars and riches. |
Ex 20:17
Rom 13:9 |
|
CREATION
|
As we read in the Holy Bible,
the Supreme God created the heavens and the earth in six days and on the
seventh day He rested from His work, blessed and sanctified this day.
This is why the Sabbath is on the seventh day of the week, that is saturday.
God Created:
Day 1: The lights. (Gen 1:3).
Day 2: The firmament (sky, expanse) in the midst of the waters,
divided the waters (on the earth) from the waters (in the clouds). (Gen
1:6-7).
Day 3: The seas, oceans and dry land. (Gen 1:9).
Day 4: Created the heavenly lights to separate day from night and
show the time for seasons, special days and years.
(Gen 1:14-15).
Day 5: Created the living creatures (both water and flying
creatures).
(Gen 1:20-21).
Day 6: Created living creatures (livestock and wild animals). (Gen
1:24-25).
Man was created on this same day.
(Gen 1:26-27).
Day 7: God rested and completed His work. Sanctified this day: Set it
apart and made it holy. (Gen 2:2-3).
Biblical topics such as creation must be taught in schools. Creation can be
proved, there is evidence and promotes belief in the Supreme God.
Evolution cannot be proved and this ridiculous theory promotes atheism and
encourages animal behaviour. |

CROSS |
Through the
Cross of Christ our sins have been forgiven and we are completely set free,
cleansed, redeemed, justified, sanctified (set apart and made holy to God).
Christ endured the cross and disarmed powers and authorities, he made a
public spectacle over them and triumphed over them by the cross.
Christ is holy, pure, blameless, set apart from sinners and exalted above
the heavens and Christ's enemies are made a footstool under His holy feet.
We receive the following promises about forgiveness of sin in God's Word:
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our
transgressions from us.
Though our sins be red as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
God will forgive us our sins and remember them no more (just as if we'd
never sinned).
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |

CROWN |
Jesus is crowned with glory and honor.
Wisdom will present you with a crown of splendor.
Blessings crown the head of the righteous and the prudent are crowned with
knowledge.
Gray hair is a crown of splendor and it is attained by a righteous life.
We run the race in our spiritual life and press on toward the goal to win
the prize for which God has called us heavenward, in Christ Jesus, a crown
of righteousness, that will last forever.
When we persevere under trial, and have stood the test, we will receive the
crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. |

CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS |
Our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified at
Golgotha, a Hebrew or Aramaic word meaning "place of the skull," and He was
in the heart of the earth exactly three days and three nights.
The Greek word 'stauros' means cross or
upright stake. I believe the real power of the cross is through our
association with Christ's death by belief and baptism (not by wearing a
crucifix).
After Jesus died, the supernatural event that took place was the curtain of
the temple torn in two from top to bottom. Earth shook and rocks split.
Tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised
to life and came out of the tombs.
The people who were watching Jesus as this event happened were greatly
afraid and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
Psalm 22 gives a first-person account of the crucifixion.
Christ never sinned. He was pure, blameless and without sin and this is why
He was the perfect sacrifice for the redemption of our sins.

DANIEL IN LION'S DEN |
Jealousy led to Daniel
being thrown into the lion's den and the reason was for praying.
King Darius threw Daniel into the lion's den and said
“Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.”
The den was sealed with the king's signet ring and with the rings of his
nobles after Daniel was thrown in.
The king fasted that night.
An angel from God shut the mouth of the lions.
Daniel's accusers were thrown into the lion's den.

DAVID & GOLIATH |
Goliath was with the
Philistines that went to make war with Israel.
Goliath was a giant with a height of
6 cubits and a span (approx. 3 metres).
Goliath challenged Israel to send a man to fight him forty days.
When Goliath faced David, Goliath was with one other man.
David fatally wounded Goliath in the forehead with one stone and then cut
off Goliath's head.
God delivered Goliath into David's hand because of David's faith.
The Philistines turned and fled when they saw that Goliath was dead. |

DAY OF OUR LORD |
The
Great and Glorious Day of the Lord is described in the Holy Bible.
I believe God's faithful remnant will be the only survivors and that they
will be supernaturally protected by God:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
The most joyful, happiest and greatest time for the Saints and the most
dreadful end for the wicked.
Great for the Righteous, dreadful for the wicked.
Malachi 4 & Isaiah 13:9 describes in more detail as well as
many other Scriptures.
One of the signs that we are approaching the Day of The Lord is described
in:
Acts 2:20 - The sun will be dark, the moon as
blood, and there will be blood, fire and thick smoke.
The Day of the Lord is described as coming like a thief in:
2 Pet 3:10
-
Heavens will disappear with a thunderous crash, and the material
elements of the universe will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and
everything in it will be burned up.
The fierce wrath of Almighty God will be displayed to the nations:
Isaiah 13:9.
The Day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The wicked will not escape the Judgment of God. |

DEATH |
Death is an unconscious
state and a person does not ascend to heaven upon death.
Death is an enemy.
The dead are all in one place where there is silence and repose, that is, in
the graves where there is deep sleep and rest.
But there is hope, the dead will be resurrected as we read in: Rev
20:11-15.
God's Word forbids us to communicate with the dead and you will not receive
any response from them.
The Bible also mentions death of the wicked in the following verses:
Gen 38:10; Prov 10:27; Psa 55:23; Ezek 18:32.
The burning of human bodies was only performed in pagan/heathen sacrifice:
2 Chron 33:6.
Therefore the only Biblical method is burial, not cremation. |

DECEPTION |
In the last days, deception
and evil will greatly increase.
The wicked will be more wicked.
There will be many antichrists and wolves in sheeps' clothing e.g. false
prophets and false teachers.
Christ mentioned that we will know them by their fruit, ie. their deeds
(what they do).
A healthy tree bears good fruit.
A poor tree bears bad fruit:

DEFEATING DEMONS |
We must not fellowship with
the unfruitful works of darkness, instead expose them, for it is shameful
even to mention what the ungodly do in secret.
God said there shall not be found anyone who makes his son or daughter pass
through the fire, one who practices witchcraft, a soothsayer, one who
interprets omens, a sorcerer, one who conjures spells, a medium, spiritist
or one who calls up the dead.
All these things are an abomination to the Lord.
We stand firm with our faith in God and being sober, watchful and vigilant,
thereby resisting the devil.
In Galatians, we are given an explanation of the works of the flesh and that
those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
The preaching of the Word did not benefit those who did not enter into God's
rest if they did not believe.
In the Book of Acts, those who became Christians renounced all dealings with
the occult and publicly burned all their books. |

DELIGHT |
The Lord delights in those
who fear Him and in those whose ways are blameless and who put their hope in
His unfailing love and who are truthful and crowns the humble with
salvation.
Our delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law we meditate day and
night. God bestows blessings such as fruitfulness and prosperity upon such a
man.
We delight ourselves in the Lord and He gives us the desires of our heart.
The man who fears the Lord and finds great delight in His commands is a
blessed man. |

DELIVERANCE
|
Demons are evil spirits and
their three main purposes are:
1. To torment and afflict.
2. To keep us from knowing Christ as Our Lord and Savior.
3. To keep us from serving Christ effectively.
The Biblical term for casting out demons is 'deliverance,' and the Bible
gives us many examples.
Every true believer in Christ has this Authority in 'Jesus Name.'
Faith in God is a prerequisite to casting out demons effectively and some
demons come out only through prayer and fasting.
For example: 'We bind and command all demons to leave now, in Jesus
Name,'
or name a specific demon:
'We bind and command demon of gluttony to leave now, in Jesus Name.'
We also must bind and command all demons that were sent to us or transferred
to us, to leave us now in Jesus Name. e.g. demon of lust, sexual impurity,
suicide, death, schizophrenia, infirmity, gluttony, addiction, allergies
etc. (among many others and cast out all that apply in your case).
This must be done on a daily basis to prevent any demonic activity or
demonic attacks and protect us from any demons being sent to us or
transferred to us.
A Christian is considered set free from demons when he/she no longer has the
problem. e.g. no longer has the problem of depression because the spirit of
heaviness has been driven out or no longer has the problem of smoking
because the demon of addiction has been cast out.
A Christian is owned by Christ therefore he cannot be demon-possessed.
Although demons cannot have total ownership of a Christian, a Christian may
be influenced by demons.
Therefore one must bind and command all demons to leave now in Jesus Name.
The ministry of deliverance is a harvest field & more properly equipped
workers are needed; Practiced primarily by people with apostolic, pastoral
or evangelical ministries or their co-workers.
Rarely, if at all, preached and explained in Churches.
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, therefore, please pray for
more workers.
If you're interested in self-deliverance or helping others be set free, I
would highly recommend firstly, reading the Holy Bible and as many books
about deliverance as you can (to learn more about the names of demons and
for a more comprehensive list of demons to cast out) before casting out
demons. |

DESTINY OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND OF THE

Book of Psalm and Proverbs contains many Scriptures related to the destiny
of the righteous and fate of the wicked and according to the Bible, the
curse of the Lord is continually on the house of the wicked.

DESTRUCTION |
Many go in
by the wide gate that leads to hell and the road that leads to it is easy and
pride comes before destruction.
Those who sow to please the sinful carnal nature will reap death and
destruction according to: Gal 6:8.
When the blind lead the blind they all fall into a ditch.
God will punish those who reject Him and do not obey the Good News about our
Lord Jesus, with eternal destruction and shut out from the presence of the
Lord and from the majesty of His power. |

DEVIL/satan |
Satan is the
adversary of God and the children of God.
Satan is the accuser of our Christian brothers and sisters, the great liar,
schemer & deceiver who deceives the whole world.
He uses people to carry out his wicked schemes and pressure tactics/sin
luring tools such as media.
e.g. I found a note on my desk
at
high-school saying that everyone hates me and it mentioned the word
'suicide,' then proving this by not receiving email.
This continued for years and still continues to this day, I assume as a form
of blackmail to pressure me into sin.
This is clearly from a satanic source directed toward a child of God to stop
me from serving Christ.
This is why I believe God is continuing and will continue to pronounce
curses upon all my enemies as they are serving satan and their involvement
in this plan will fail.
They will not succeed in bringing me down.
I know that many have met with terrible judgment from God for interfering
with His work.
Almighty God is Supreme Judge and He brings about Justice for all His
saints! (God never perverts justice)!
We submit to Jesus Christ our Lord,
resist the devil and he flees from us.
After the thousand year reign of Christ, the devil will be thrown into the
lake of burning sulfur.
Satanic cults (devil helpers & worshippers) will be ashes under the soles of
the Saint's feet.
Time is very short indeed for satan and his cohorts (helpers).
Those who
are on the devil's side are backing a loser and will end up losing
everything.
Satan's devices are
deception, temptation, control, accusation, manipulation, intimidation,
doubt and discouragement.
The devil and his cohorts try to hinder one's ministry through
distractions (e.g. innumerable useless and hopeless interviews and
activities designed to divert our attention away from ministry work);
obstacles and interferences (e.g. plan for someone to fall into sin and
intrude or trespass on
someone's territory or rights);
hindering and resistance spirits that must be binded and commanded to
leave in Jesus Name;
doubt and discouragement (e.g. satan's cohorts will say that ministry is
a hobby or passing time).
This is because the demons tremble at the Name of Jesus and that satan's
time is short and he wants us to stop proclaiming God's Word.
In fiery trials, God's purpose is to strengthen us and our faith and satan's
purpose is to destroy us and lose faith.
God always rescues the godly from trials.
I will persevere with faith and patience right to the very end as I have been
doing since day one!
Satan's Doom:
REV 20:7-10
- And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of
the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of
whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the
saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented
day and night for ever and ever. |

|
Dietary Laws |
We must obey God's dietary laws for our
health and well-being as listed in Leviticus.
Eat clean meats and fish with fins and scales. Vegetables
are a healthy addition to the diet. We must not eat fat or blood.
There are meats containing cancer causing chemicals and charcoal is a toxic
substance.
There are clean and unclean (filthy) meats.
Read
about filthy pork
&
The garbage collectors of the sewage.
(Also barbecues contribute to a great deal of
environmental pollution).
Those who purposefully pollute the environment will
not go unpunished by God. |

from terror, perplexed with fear, dread and panic of what will come upon the
earth, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
|
Lk
21:26
|
|
DISCERNMENT |
Discernment means to
perceive with the mind.
Spiritual matters are spiritually discerned and we must have a spiritual
mind in order to understand them. Therefore we ask God for discernment so
that we may understand His statutes.
Preserving sound judgment and discernment will be life for us.
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning.

DISCIPLES |
A disciple of Christ is one who is
upholding Christ's teaching and living a life of self-sacrifice.
In 'The Great Commission' Christ mentioned:
1) Make disciples of all nations.
2) Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
3) Teach them to obey everything that Christ commanded. |
Matt 28:18-20

|
DISCIPLINE |
Listen to your father's instruction and
do not forsake your mother's teaching.
They will be an ornament to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck,
Keeping the law and commandments will add length of days, long life and
peace.
Never forsake mercy and truth.
Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

DISEASE |
God is our
refuge and He will save and protect us from deadly disease (pestilence),
because we love and trust in Him and acknowledge His Name, as we read in
Psalm 91, about God's divine protection. |
Psa 91:3,6 |

DIVINE |
God is
divine and His son Jesus Christ and has eternal power and divine nature.
Our spiritual weapons have divine power to demolish strongholds. |

|
DRUGS/SMOKING |
Mind-altering & other stimulant drugs are
strictly forbidden as we are to abstain from evil.
Glorifying God in our bodies and spirits means avoiding drugs and
cigarettes.
Read more about avoiding drugs
Since drugs & smoking are just as hazardous
to the health, they are in the same category. |
1 Cor 3:16-17
1 Cor 6:19-20
1 Thess 5:22 |
|
EARTH |
God created the heavens and
the earth and everything belongs to Him. His glory is over all the earth.
God is omnipresent, He fills the heavens and earth and the earth is God's footstool.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, God's ways and thoughts are higher
than ours.
We always pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Christ has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and at the Name
of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but Christ's Words are eternal and we are looking forward to a
new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells.

EASTER
|
Easter is a pagan celebration,
another highly commercialized tradition, with colored eggs and chocolate
rabbits, that focuses on the love of pleasure rather than the love of God.
The rabbit is a symbol of fertility and Semiramis (Easter) was the mother
goddess "Ishtar" of fertility and the Easter egg is a symbol of the pagan
mother goddess.
Other names include wife of Baal, Ashtaroth, Ashtoreth, among others.
Please note: Passover is correctly translated in Acts 12:4, in
all Bible Versions apart from the King James, where the word 'Easter' is
found once and is a mistranslation. |

ENDURANCE |
There are many Scriptures in
the Book of Psalms mentioning that the glory of the Lord, His love, name,
righteousness and throne endures forever, from generation to generation.
We must patiently endure trials, as they bring spiritual growth and maturity
and the testing of our faith develops perseverance.

ENEMIES |
God wins the victory over
all our enemies.
We must not deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the
knowledge of the truth, because no sacrifice for sins is left and you will
be in the category of apostate, standing opposed to the living God and to
His Word.
There is a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will
consume the enemies of God.
Please see "apostasy."
When you see your enemies scattered (go in different directions around your
street) and with a petrified look on their face, weep, wail, howl like a
jackal or walk barefoot around your street - this means that God has
completely and totally defeated them!
With God all things are possible - even to be avenged sevenfold by
sevenfold!
Please remember: We leave the situation entirely in God's hands.
PSA 18:14
- He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies, great bolts of lightning and
routed them.
PSA 92:9 - For surely your enemies, O LORD, surely your enemies will
perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
PSA 92:11 - My eyes have
seen the defeat of my adversaries; my ears have heard the rout of my wicked
foes.
PSA 68:1 - May God arise,
may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.
I avoid evil company. This includes those who are involved in witchcraft (so
rampant today) and sadists, those who love to watch God's children suffer and
cheer on as in spectator sport and throw a party.
Tips:
Enemies, Don't make fools of yourselves by throwing a party in the sight
of everyone unless you are absolutely sure the victory is yours! Otherwise, your
songs of joy may turn into songs of mourning and your proud, happy faces to
gloomy ones!
You are no "superhuman!"

destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. |

ENJOY |
The meek (quiet and
obedient) will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
The blameless will enjoy plenty in days of famine.
We are commanded to honor our parents, which is the first commandment with a
promise:
That:
1) It may go well with us.
2) We may enjoy long life on earth.
Fathers are never to infuriate or embitter their children, or they will
become discouraged. |

EVERLASTING |
The Lord is our everlasting
God and Heavenly Father and His kingdom and righteousness is everlasting.
He will be our everlasting light.
He who believes has eternal life.
Multitudes who have died will rise to everlasting life and others will rise
to shame and everlasting contempt.
God will punish with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence
of the Lord and from the majesty of His power, those who do not know Him and
do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. |

ENVIRONMENT |
I believe in always praying to God for wisdom
and knowledge to help us implement ways of protecting the environment and
also doing our part in contributing to these methods.
For example, windmill or solar energy, that is a form of renewable energy, as
opposed to burning coals to produce energy.
I would highly recommend a gas/electricity company that has this system
already implemented. |

ETERNAL LIFE
|
Life eternal is believing
in Jesus Christ and knowing the only true God.
God has given us eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ.
By searching the Scriptures we have eternal life and they testify of Christ.
God promised eternal life to people before the world began.
God will give everlasting life to those who patiently persist in doing good
finding glory, honor and immortality.
Being justified by His grace we should be made heirs according to our hope
of life everlasting.
God greatly loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son that
whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
By remaining faithful to what we are taught from the beginning we will be
able to enjoy eternal life.
Only Christ has the words for eternal life.
Christ's sheep hear His voice and they follow Him, and He gives them eternal
life, and they will never perish and no man will snatch them out of Christ's
hand.
God gave them to Christ and God is greater than all; and no man is able to
snatch them out of God's hand.
God and the Father are one.
We are advised to be rich in good deeds and generous, trusting in the living
God and not in riches.
God is eternal but riches are temporary.
The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord. |

EVIL |
There are many
references in Scripture about avoiding evil, turning from evil and doing
good, evil will slay the wicked, those who plot evil will be repaid for
their evil deeds, according to what their actions deserve.
Eph 6:12-18 mentions that we are to put on the whole armor of God.
The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect us from the evil
one.
The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. |

Exalt |
God is exalted in His power
and He is forever exalted above the heavens and above all the nations.
We exalt God and His Name always through prayer, praise and worship and by
proclaiming the Gospel to all nations and making known among the nations the
mighty miracles, signs and wonders He has done. e.g. Isaiah 12:4.
Isaiah 5:16 mentions that the Lord Almighty will be exalted by His
justice.
We give praise to the Lord our God, according to Isaiah 25:1;
33:5,10.
In Philippians 2:8-11, God exalted our Lord Jesus Christ to the
highest place and gave Him a name that is above every name.
Jesus Christ our High Priest is pure, holy, blameless, set apart from
sinners, exalted above the heavens. |

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen and
without faith it is impossible to please God, for He who comes to God must
believe that He exists and that He rewards those that diligently seek Him.
God is always faithful to His promises.
God will test the genuineness of our faith through various trials and the
testing of our faith develops perseverance.
We must have faith, patience and perseverance to inherit God's promises in
our lives.
One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is faithfulness. |

FALSE PROPHETS |
According to the Book of Peter, false teachers are bringing swift
destruction upon themselves because they will:
1) Bring in destructive, untrue doctrines (teachings).
2) Deny the Master - Jesus Christ, who redeemed them.
3) Make a profit out of telling you made-up stories.
Many will follow their immoral ways.
These false teachers show no respect for heavenly beings:

FASTING |
There are different kinds of
fasting mentioned in the bible.
Partial fasting which means abstaining from certain foods.

FEAR ON
EARTH |
In the last days, there will be such fear and
panic on the earth that mens faces will be pale, fainting from fear and
waiting for calamities to come upon the earth and that they
will hide in caves and dig holes in the ground to escape from the Lord's
anger.
People will be scared to death and nations will be in despair.
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Indeed it
is! |

FOOLISHNESS |
In God's sight, the wisdom of this world is foolishness.
The message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing.
The man who does not have a spiritual mind does not understand spiritual
matters because they are spiritually discerned and therefore they are
foolishness to him. |
1 Cor 1:18, 25
1 Cor 2:14
1 Cor 3:19 |
|
FOOLS |
Fools scorn wisdom and knowledge.
The complacency of fools will destroy them.
Fools hate turning from evil; they are put to shame and die for lack of
judgment.
According to the Book of Romans, the wrath of God is upon those who suppress
the truth by their wickedness, and although they claimed to be wise,
they became fools. |

FORGIVENESS |
God teaches us to bless, forgive and pray for
our enemies.
Though we are never to associate with them.
The Holy Bible never mentions associating ourselves with people involved in
witchcraft, slander, those who devise wicked schemes or have the intention
of corrupting a person.
We, as God's children must be careful of our environment and who we
associate with.
In fact, the very first verse of psalm 1 says:
'Blessed is the man who does not walk in
the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat
of mockers.' |

FOUNDATION |
Jesus Christ is our solid

receive our reward. |

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT |
Galatians tells us the fruit
of the Spirit is:
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Humility and
Self-Control.
Jesus illustrated neighborly love in the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
The Prophet Isaiah tells us that with joy we will draw water out of the
wells of salvation, and in that day we will give thanks to the Lord, call on
His Name, make known among the nations what He has done and proclaim that
His Name is exalted.
We are not to worry, but in everything by prayer and supplication, let our
requests be known to God.
Perseverance and faith in all trials we are enduring.
Goodness and mercy follows us all the days of our lives and we will dwell in
the house of the Lord for ever.
Whoever is born of God overcomes the world: and faith is the victory that
overcomes the world.
Righteousness and meekness will hide us in the day of the Lord's anger. |

GENEROUS |
The sowing and reaping principle applies to
generosity.
When one sows good seeds, for example is generous, He will reap good in
return and will prosper and be blessed.
God is able to make all grace abound to us, so that in all things at all
times, having all that we need, we will abound (be plentiful) in every good
work. In other words, God supplies us with our every need, the seeds to sow
and water for the plant and He makes the plant grow.
Those who are rich are commanded not to be arrogant and trust in their
wealth, but to put their hope in God.
They are to do good. For example, rich in good deeds and willing to share.
God poured out His Holy Spirit upon us generously through Jesus Christ our
Savior.
If we pray for wisdom and ask in faith, God grants us our request and gives
generously. |

GLORIFYING
GOD |
There are many ways in which we glorify God.
For example,
through
prayer, fasting, music, and with our bodies and lifestyles.
1) Prayer
Eph 6:18 - And
pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With
this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
2) Fasting
Matt 6:16 - [ Fasting ] "When you
fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to
show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward
in full.
3) Music
Psalm 150 - Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for
his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the
sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with
tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with
the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that
has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
4) With Our Bodies
* Glorifying God with our
bodies means avoid immorality, for example.
1 Cor 6:19-20 - Do you not know that
your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received
from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God
with your body.
5) With Our Lifestyles
* Living a life of
self-sacrifice (as disciples of Christ).
* Avoiding self-indulgence
(e.g. excessive alcohol) which leads to debauchery and other sins.
LUKE 14:27 - And anyone who does
not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
EPH 5:18 - Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
Instead, be filled with the Spirit. |

GLORY |
Our King is called the 'King of glory.'
All glory, honor, majesty, praise, splendor, supreme might and power belongs
to God and His Son alone.
We always ascribe to the Lord glory due His Name through Prayer, Fasting,
Praise and Worship Music, and with Our bodies and lifestyles.
(See Glorifying God).
Christ will return with power and great glory.
God exalted Christ who is crowned with glory and honor, to the highest place
and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |

GOD EXISTENCE |
Although, we do not see God, because He
is Spirit and in the spiritual realm and we are flesh, in the physical
realm, we believe God's Word is truth and eyewitness accounts of Jesus
Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension to heaven.
The first verse gives us a definition of faith:
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen and
verse 6 mentions that without faith it is impossible to please God,
for He who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards them
that diligently seek Him.
Long ago by God's Word the heavens existed. |
Jn 4:24
Heb 11:1,6
2 Pet 3:5 |
|
GOD IS JUDGE |
God is
Supreme Judge of the Universe.
God of righteousness, justice and fairness who defends &
maintains
justice for His children & He has declared his children innocent.
Satan is the accuser of the brethren, but we are acquitted
of any charges brought against us through the sacrifice of our Lord & Savior
Jesus Christ.
When God is for us who will dare be against us? Who will
dare accuse us?
God's standard and judgment is different to that of humans.
Also those who corrupt, provoke, influence, tempt,
pressure or lead others into sin and take advantage of other people will be
judged. This includes those who take advantage of little children.
Luke 17:2 tells us that 'It would be better for him
to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him
to cause one of these little ones to sin.' |

GODLINESS
PURITY
HOLINESS RIGHTEOUSNESS
|
God loves
purity, beauty and holiness.
To be Godly, pure, holy and righteous in God's sight and
live a Godly, pure, holy and righteous life is most important to me.
I detest sin, evil, all immorality (including sexual
immorality), filth, perversion & wickedness.
We live after the Spirit and grow in the fruits of the
holy spirit (crucifying the flesh, which means getting rid of the carnal
nature).
God's children must be focused on serving, pleasing God
and doing His will, because God is our first love and number one priority.
(not the things of the world ie. money and other
distractions).
Devoting our entire lives to God our King, Lord and
Savior!
Read more about what the Bible says about Christian Growth and Perfection
We follow the narrow way, as it leads to eternal life, not
the broad way, that leads to destruction.
The benefits and promises we receive from God are
everlasting.
Yes. All God's children have hope and a future!
Scripture Promises
I'm a godly person and I live a godly life (a life of abstinence in all
aspects); and I don't allow myself to be corrupted by the world with its
sinful, evil and foolish "pleasures." Scripture says we are not
to be friends of the world Jas 4:4. Also, we are not to love
the world or the things of this world 1 Jn 2:15-17. (I've been avoiding tv, radio and other media for
over 12 years now).
I'm NOT interested in riches, and I reject that cheap, sleazy
(shabby), worldly lifestyle that
leads to death and destruction.
I serve God (not money).
No one and nothing can replace the Lord
My God in my life and God means everything to me!
I'm NOT interested in the worldly fame that comes from
pleasing people, or the media
(Luke 9:25).
I'm only interested in the
International fame that comes through serving, pleasing and
honoring the Lord my God ONLY, with Promotion of the Gospel
"Good News," via my website, and doing good deeds. My Lord honors and
blesses me (with all kinds of blessings) as His child, and He gives me the
abundance I need in order to do His will, and have something to give to
charity (Psalm 149; 2 Cor 9:8).

GOD THE FATHER |
There are many Scriptures in
which we learn more about God our Father.
A few examples:
1. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus said: That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly.
2. James wrote: every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning.
3. John wrote: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God.
4. In Paul's prayer for the Ephesians he prayed, That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
5. In the letter to the Hebrews, Paul said, furthermore we have had fathers
of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not
much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
6. To the Corinthians, Paul wrote: Blessed be God, even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
7. Matt 11:25 says, At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank
thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
8. Jesus prayed to the Father, Holy Father, keep through thine own Name
those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
9. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul explains that there is, One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
10. Jesus told the woman at the well in Samaria, But the hour cometh, and
now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth.
11. Jesus said, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you." |

GOODNESS |
God called us by His own
glory and goodness and according to the Book of Psalms, we will see the
goodness of God and we are given instructions to wait for the Lord, be
strong and take heart.
God's goodness is stored up for those who fear Him and He bestows His
goodness in the sight of all people and our enemies will see it and be put
to shame.
With joyful songs, we will celebrate God's abundant goodness and
righteousness.
One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is 'goodness,' and we are to live by
the Spirit, as children of light, in goodness, righteousness and truth. |

GOSPEL |
I
have dedicated my life to God and the promotion of the Gospel "Good News" is
my lifetime full-time work.
I've been called to do the work of God and I intend to accomplish my mission
on earth which God has set before me with all my heart, body, mind, soul and
strength.
I take God's work very seriously.
We can move mountains with faith and do all things through Christ Jesus who
strengthens us. Nothing is impossible for God's children!
Matt 17:20 & Phil 4:13.
I serve God (who is my first love and priority number one) and make the best
use of my time. I don't waste my time on hopeless, useless, worthless things
online or offline.
I'm not interested in being approved or accepted by the world or by society
and therefore, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, aim for godly perfection.
I love to present the Gospel in a creative, encouraging
and inspirational way! Psalm 150 mentions to praise God with loud songs and
percussion.
For example, trumpets and clash of cymbals (these are definitely loud
instruments) and tambourines.
I avoid clubs, drugs, smoking, alcohol, greed, debauchery, slander,
witchcraft, impurity, filthy language, all kinds of evil, idolatry and
immorality and I'm not a friend of or with the world. I also use a filtered
Christian ISP. I don't listen to
the radio or watch tv at all. (It is pollution for the mind!)
Instead, I live a godly life with prayer and bible study, plant good seeds
(by encouraging others, e.g. to faith and repentance, helping, inspiring,
comforting) and view God's Awesome, Miracles, Signs and Wonders!
My advice to anyone whose starting in ministry is perseverance (never give
up), though the world may try to discourage. There is definitely a living
hope for those who are in Christ Jesus amidst this hopeless world!
God bless the faithful remnant who are my Christian brothers and sisters in
Christ Jesus!
The Gospel, the word of God & Kingdom of God, will always be proclaimed,
infinitely, up to the Return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as King of
kings & Lord of lords (regardless of opposition).
God's children are chosen to proclaim God's word. This is
the very reason why we are born and especially to obey and have a
relationship with our Creator God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Adonai Yeshua Ha Mashiah!
The apostle Paul tells the Thessalonians that the punishment endured by
those who do not obey the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty
of His power.
Note: We must keep our eyes
focused on God and be vigilant because satan and his cohorts will attempt to
divert our attention to temporary worldly things and away from our Gospel
mission through the use of dramatic methods (e.g. worldly advertising) or
more subtle ways (e.g. emotions, like doubt & discouragement). |

GRACE |
Grace is the unmerited favor
or pardon and blessing of God toward the undeserving.
Grace is free and cannot be earned.
By grace we are saved and is a gift from God, given to His people in
abundance through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

GRAVE |
Christ
was in the heart of the earth, the grave, for exactly three days and three
nights as Christ Himself foretold in Matt 12:40 (as Jonah was in the belly
of the huge fish for three days and three nights).
Death and the
grave could not hold Jesus. |

GREED |
A greedy man brings trouble
to his family and stirs up dissension (disagreement that gives rise to
strife).
The Pharisees were self-righteous hypocrites, they appeared as righteous to
men, but they were full of greed, self-indulgence and wickedness.
Greed is what makes a person unclean because it comes from the heart and
they are among those who will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
There must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, impurity or greed,
because these are improper for God's holy people.
Put to death the carnal nature.
False teachers are greedy and they are bringing swift destruction upon
themselves. |

GUILE |
Guile means treacherous

Those who devise wicked schemes will be unsuccessful.
We are to speak the truth, do not lie or speak evil. Turn from evil and do
good and then you will have peace and your prayers will be answered.
Get rid of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
We are to follow Christ who is our example. There was no sin or deception
found in Him. |

HABITATION |
From God's
habitation or holy dwelling, He watches all who live on earth because He is
omnipresent, and righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Our body is a temple of the holy Spirit, who lives in us, and our bodies
belong to God, therefore we glorify and honor God with our body. |

HADES and hell |
If any
part of your body causes you to sin, cut it off, because you're much better
off that way, than to have your whole body thrown into hell fire.
God can destroy both body and soul in hell (the soul can die).
Christ's church will stand forever.
The tongue is set on fire by hell.
God sent the angels who sinned to hell.
Christ holds the keys of death and hades. |

HAIR |
The Priests who were
Levites were to keep their hair trimmed.
God's word says that
long hair is for women. Therefore we can easily deduce from this scripture
that Jesus Christ did not have long hair. |

1 Cor 11:14-15 |
|
HAPPINESS OF SAINTS |
Joy and Happiness of Saints is
only in God, knowing that He is the only True and Living God. Happiness of
Saints in this life is abundant and satisfying.
Wisdom brings happiness.
Godly fear, trusting, hoping in God and obedience brings happiness and
salvation.
Praising God in our daily Christian lives expresses our happiness in His
goodness.
Love is mutual - We love God and He loves us.
God disciplines those He loves and accepts as His own.
We rejoice in our trials, because endurance brings strength.
Being kind to the poor also makes us happy.

HAUGHTINESS |

HEALING |
There are many examples of
healing in the Holy Bible.
Faith is a pre-requisite to healing.
God is the
only solution.
Mankind will never find a solution to its problems. e.g. war, poverty,
sickness.
More funds and research will not find cures for diseases. You can spend all
the money in this world and still not find a cure.
Most likely cause for disease is either diet-related, demonic (requires deliverance) or
a
curse e.g. generational (must be broken). |

HEAVENLY SIGNS |
The moon's purpose was to
give light to the earth.
The stars and planets were made in the following order: earth, sun, moon,
galaxy.
The purpose of the rainbow was for God to remember His promise not to flood
the whole earth again.
When Israel wandered in the wilderness,
the pillar of fire was the sign that God gave them of His going before them
at night.
When the prophet Isaiah told king Hezekiah that God would add fifteen years
to his life, he said that the shadow of the sun would return ten degrees on
the sun dial and this would be the sign.
When the Lord delivered the Amorites into the hand of Joshua, the celestial
event that took place was the sun stood still and did not go down for about
a whole day.
The prophet Joel said that the sun would be turned to darkness and the moon
to blood, before the great and notable Day of the Lord.
The heavens will depart as a scroll when it is rolled together. This is the
final fate.

HEBREWS |
In these last days God spoke
to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, whom He has appointed heir of all things,
and through the Son He created the Universe.
The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any double-edged
sword, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
We must never ignore the Salvation that comes only through Jesus Christ and
was first announced by Christ Himself and then delivered to us by those who
hear Him speak. God confirmed the message through His Supernatural
Miraculous Signs and Wonders.
Jesus for a little while was made lower than the angels. Through Jesus'
death and suffering, He is crowned with glory and honor!
Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest, is seated at the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens, set up by the Lord.
Jesus Christ learned obedience by the things which He suffered and being
made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that
obey Him.
We must pursue holiness and peace.
Inspire to brotherly love, good works and encourage one another.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen.
We please God with our faith. When we come to God we must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Therefore as we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, put aside
every distraction and sin. We run with patient endurance and active
persistence the race set before us, focus on Jesus the author and finisher
of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising and ignoring the shame, and is now at the right hand of the throne
of God our Father. |

HELL AND LAKE OF
FIRE |
Hell is
real and the Bible tells us who will go there. For example, those whose
names were not written in the Book of Life and also the beast and false
prophet.
Christ holds the keys of hell and death.
The wicked will be stubble and consumed with fire,
because they are evildoers who have rejected God. The phrase: “Not a root or
a branch will be left to them,” means that the wicked will be as nothing, as
though they never existed on the face of the earth and the memory of them
will be forgotten. They are compared to a fruitless tree which is uprooted,
leaving nothing - no root or branch. They will be ashes under the soles of
the feet of the righteous who will go out leaping as calves led out of a
stall. Therefore, the wicked will not suffer eternal torment. In scripture,
there are other illustrations as to how the wicked will perish. For example,
they will vanish like smoke; as wax melts before the fire; as smoke is blown
away by the wind; like chaff that the wind blows away. Malachi 4:1-3
mentions: “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as
an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it
shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall
go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the
wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the
day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE |
Examples of Archaeological Discoveries proving the Bible to be
accurate and reliable:
1. Dead Sea Scrolls: One of the most important
archaeological finds of the last century and confirms reliability of
the Old Testament.
2. Temple of Jerusalem
3. Jericho: Excavations prove Bible accurate concerning the
destruction of the walls of Jericho.
4. Durupinar: The Durupinar site is the location of a
boat-shaped formation, named after its discoverer. Its size, unusual
shape and location resembles Noah's Ark and matches the Bible
description exactly.
5. King David's Palace: Strong evidence that the
foundations of a building in Old Jerusalem, verified to date to the
10th - 9th centuries BC, are very likely the remains of the palace of
King David.
The remains match perfectly with the geographic and architectural
description/representation of the palace mentioned in the Bible.
6.Ancient Seals unearthed in Jerusalem dig:
Ancient seals were uncovered from the reign of the Biblical King
Hezekiah 2,700 years ago.
Another Hebrew inscription, dating 600 years later than the seals, was
discovered on a jar fragment from the Hasmonean period in the second century BC. |

The Bible is the inspired word of God and is
our life manual. The Word of God is truth and reality and we must accept it
in our lives and live in accordance with God's Laws.
There is manuscript evidence, e.g. the dead sea scrolls, proving that both
the Old and New Testament is accurate and true.
Accepting God means accepting the truth in God's word.
One must accept the truth and avoid what the Bible defines as sin.
The Bible Teaches us how to submit to God in total obedience & live holy
lives. |

Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles & Last Great Day.
I celebrate only Festivals
that are appointed by God.
1. Passover - We partake of unleavened bread symbolizing Christ's broken body
and wine symbolizing His Blood poured out for the forgiveness of our sins: Exo 12:1-14; Luke 22:19-20; John 1:29; John 13:13-15; 1 Pet 1:18-19.
2. Days of Unleavened Bread - Seven is God's number symbolizing
completeness and we follow Passover with seven days of unleavened bread,
pictures the elimination of sin from our lives: Exo 12:15-16; Exo
13:3,9-10;
Acts 12:3-4; Acts 20:6.
3. Pentecost or Feast of Firstfruits - signifies "fifty." Pictures
the firstfruits of salvation or the first part of the spiritual harvest -
calling out of Church the called-out ones:
Levi 23:9-11,15-17,21; Acts 2:1.
4. Feast of Trumpets - A day of rejoicing and Holy unto the Lord,
symbolizing Christ's Return and the Resurrection from the dead. As the
trumpet is a symbol of war, it also represents a warning of the coming
plagues:
Levi 23:24-25; 1 Cor 15:52; 1 Thess 4:16-17; Rev 8:6-13.
5. Day of Atonement - We are commanded to fast on this Annual High
Day (to deny ourselves) and it is a day of rest.
It symbolizes the banishment and defeat of satan and where the world is
reconciled to God: Levi 16:29,31; Levi 23:26-32.
6. Feast of Tabernacles - Booths or temporary dwellings for seven
days, rejoicing with God. It symbolizes God's passion to tabernacle with us
and people's temporary status here on this earth: Levi 23:43, Neh 8:9-18;
John 7:2-14; Ezek 37:27; Heb 11:8-10; Rev 21:3.
7. Last Great Day - On the eighth day,
it pictures the hope of all humanity who have not yet known God, the Great
Day of Judgment and the rest of the dead being raised to life after the 1000
year reign of Christ with His Firstfruits of Salvation: John 6:39-54;
7:37; 11:24; 12:48.

HOLY SPIRIT |
Holy Spirit is the Power of
God.
The Spirit of truth,' also called, Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Teacher and
Advocate.
Upon repentance and baptism
one receives God's gift, the Holy Spirit.
When we heard the Word of truth, the gospel of our salvation, we believed
and were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.
God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
We never grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore we honor God with our
body. |

healthy. |

Those who wait on the Lord and put their hope in His word.
The evil man has no future hope. |

HUMILITY |
Humility means meekness,
which
is the opposite of being proud.
Wisdom comes when one is humble.
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble and when we humble
ourselves under God's mighty hand, He will lift us up. |

|
HYPOCRITES |
Hypocrite means someone
falsely pretending to be righteous.
The Pharisees were self-righteous hypocrites, who appeared as righteous on
the outside, but on the inside they were full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Therefore, you must take a good look at yourself before judging others,
because you may have grave sins that must be eliminated from your filthy lifestyle
first (Idolatry, in all its forms, including witchcraft; and sexual immorality,
which are the gravest sins in God's eyes with the heaviest of penalties), and
then once you do this, you will be able to make a more sound judgment, and
not be in the category of 'hypocrites.' The more you, who are wicked and unrepentant,
judge a godly person, who has repented, the more God, the Supreme judge will
judge you for the detestable sins you commit in your life.
You are bringing condemnation upon yourself!
Ephesians 5:5 - For this ye know, that no whoremonger,
nor unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, hath any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Who are you to judge a godly person anyway? Who made you the judge?
Do you judge a photo that contains no pornography, nudity or lingerie, and
then visit a vile (extremely disgusting) pornographic or pedophile website
(with all the many sexually obsessed perverts), and feast your eyes on those images, and say
that is "good?"
Sexual immorality, obsession and voyeurism leads to death and destruction. (Romans 6:23)
Scripture says 'what is vile is honored among men.' (Psalm 12:8)
Vile websites are what
children of the devil call "highly valued, good and important."
God knows your hearts! (Luke 16:15).
Scripture says 'woe to those who call what is good evil; and what is evil
good.' (Isaiah 5:20).
Those who continue
in sin, (for example, witchcraft and sexual immorality) belong to the devil,
and are called the devil's children.
1 John 3:8-9 -
He that
committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the
works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
I've continued to live an upright, holy, godly life for many years, despite
not receiving recognition for proclamation of the gospel.
I will continue to please my Lord Jesus by living a godly life with
abstinence, and serve Him faithfully and wholeheartedly, for the rest of my
life!
Any slander or rumors that circulate about my past life (which was more than
ten years ago), are figments of people's filthy imaginations. That's what
happens when they are desperately addicted to all these different vile
'porn' websites. Their minds start imagining vile things, because that's the
kind of vile lifestyle they live. (Matthew 5:11) You need to repent of all your filthy conduct, and get a filtered ISP!
Get rid of all deceit, hypocrisy, sexual immorality, witchcraft, envy, and slander of every kind.
Those who are truly righteous hate the company of hypocrites and evildoers.
I do not keep company with the world,
and this includes those who are lukewarm "Christians." Lukewarm "Christians"
and the wicked live the same kind of lifestyle.

IDOLATRY |
Idolatry is the gravest sin in the eyes of God and carries the heaviest of
penalties.
There are many forms of idolatry.
For example, witchcraft and worshipping idols or false gods and placing
someone or something above or before the True God in one's life.
For example, money, wealth, cars, houses, possessions, food, drink, sport,
anything media related, e.g. tv, radio, magazines or newspapers and
well-known people. |

IMAGE |
Christ is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn over of all creation.
We are to put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge and in
the image of its Creator; created to be like Christ in true
righteousness and holiness. |

1 Cor 11:7
Eph 4:24
Col 1:15
Col 3:10 |
|
IMMORALITY |
Avoid and flee from
sexual immorality.
We must be sanctified.
The Book of Corinthians tells us who will not inherit the Kingdom of God,
about the acts of the sinful nature, and that we are to put to death what
belongs to the earthly nature,
e.g. sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry. |

Him so that they will never turn away from
Him.
Endurance is inspired by hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ. |
Jer 32:40
1 Thess 1:3 |
|
INTELLIGENCE |
God mentions that He will destroy the
wisdom of the wise and the intelligence of the intelligent He will
frustrate.
God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.
|
Isa 29:14
1 Cor 1:19
1 Cor 1:27 |
|
INTERCESSION |
Jesus Christ intercedes for
us. He is also our mediator. Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father.
No one comes to the Father except through Jesus.
Intercessory prayer means to pray for others. |
Isa 53:12
Jn 14:6
1 Tim 2:1 |
|
INTERMARRIAGE |
The Book of Deuteronomy
mentions that intermarriage is forbidden,
for obvious reasons, because the partner who worships idols will entice the
other partner to do the same. |
Deut 7:3-4
Josh 23:12 |
|
INTERPRETATION |
Interpretation of tongues is
one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Prophets spoke the message of God, through the Holy Spirit, and not their
own interpretation.
Daniel was able to interpret king Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

JAMES
|
The testing of our faith
produces patience.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of
lights.
We must be doers of the word, not just hearers.
If one keeps the whole law, and transgresses in one point, he is guilty of
all.
We must have faith with works, that is living faith.
Where there is envy and strife there is confusion and every evil work.
Submit to God, resist the devil and he flees from us.
When we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, He will lift us up.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man has a powerful effect.

|
JEALOUSY |
There are two kinds of
jealousy.
Godly and worldly jealousy.
The Lord our God is a jealous God, a consuming fire, who will punish
idolatry, because He does not want anyone to worship any other god. This is
godly jealousy.
Another example of godly jealousy is when we do not want anyone to be led
astray from their sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Worldly jealousy means bitterness and resentment and is in the category of
covetousness (greed), when one desires something that belongs to someone
else.
It is one of the acts of the sinful nature, along with others and there is a
strong warning that one who lives like this will not inherit the Kingdom of
God. |

JESUS AS GOD |
In the Gospel of John, Jesus
is described as the light of men.
Paul says, in his letter to Timothy, "that without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the
Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory."
Jesus said to doubting Thomas that blessed are they that have not seen Him
and yet believe.
Paul said to feed the Church of God which Christ purchased with His own
Blood because he knew that after his departing grievous wolves shall enter
in among the sheep, not sparing the flock.
Paul described Christ as over all and God blessed for ever.
The blessed hope is the glorious appearing of the Great God and our Savior
Jesus Christ.
The angels of God worship Him and God's throne is for ever and ever: a
scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His Kingdom.
We are in God who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and
eternal life.
God the Father and Jesus Christ are one in attributes, qualities, nature,
characteristics.
Jesus Christ is also called Amazing Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father
and Prince of Peace.
Our Lord is the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the Lord our God teaches
us what is best for us and leads us in the way we should go.

Jewellery & ADORNMENT |
The
Bible does not condemn the use of jewels & adornment, but we are not to
focus on physical appearance or outward beauty.
Instead, we focus on our spiritual relationship with God and perfect our
inner beauty (For example, purity, holiness & reverence for God in our
lives).
I believe that purity, innocence, holiness & sincerity are reflected through
a person regardless of whether that person wears makeup or not.
God looks at the heart, beliefs & principles of that individual (not the
adornment) and whether that person is living in obedience to His
commandments. A life of holiness, godliness, purity, truth and
righteousness.
Therefore, one must focus on getting rid of his sinful lifestyle and all
filthy conduct. Because God will be judging that person on whether he has
repented. Makeup is the most insignificant topic and most definitely
will not interfere in one's salvation.
I myself as a godly woman live a holy, godly and upright life with
abstinence, and wear make-up so that no one will know when and how I fast
and because I love to look and feel healthy and alive.
I believe applying make up would be in the category of putting oil on the
head and washing the face so that no one will know when and how specifically
one is fasting.
We
are not to have a sad countenance.
The Scripture in the Book of Timothy is saying that dress must be sensible, modest &
nothing extravagant.
Though the context and setting is in Church & title of Chapter 2 is
Instructions on Worship,
I believe that the modesty rule applies both inside & outside of Church.
e.g. Cosmetic Surgery is unnatural & would be regarded as extreme.
Although,
it is crucial that one does not
judge merely by outside appearances,
Scripture mentions also that it is shameful for a man to wear long hair. But for
a woman it is her crowning glory.
Therefore, there must be distinct differences between a man and woman.
There are references to:
Cosmetics in the Bible:
Esther 2:12;
Including oil of myrrh, perfumes and lotions.
Jewels in the Bible: Isaiah 61:10;
a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest and a bride adorns herself with
jewels.
Joseph was given a richly ornamented robe in: Gen 37:3.
Also, the scripture in James 2:2-5, tells us that favoritism
is forbidden. |

JONAH AND WHALE |
The Lord sent Jonah to preach
against the city of Nineveh, but Jonah decided to go to the city of Tarshish
instead.
Jonah was sleeping in the ship during the storm.
The mariners threw their cargo overboard to try to save the ship.
The storm ceased when Jonah was thrown overboard.
Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days and 3 nights, and when he finally went to
the city where God sent him, it was given 40 days to repent.
The inhabitants of the city reacted to Jonah's warning by repenting.
God's reaction was that He changed His mind about what He had planned to do
to the city because of its decision to repent. |

JUDGMENT |
God's righteous judgments are
unsearchable.
God's Judgment Seat is mentioned in the Book of Romans.
Angels are put into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment.
God holds the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their
punishment.
God's judgments are righteous, fair, true and just and He does not show
partiality.
He is a God of justice and righteousness and there will be trouble and
distress for those who do evil.

earth.
He will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords forever and ever.
His Kingdom will have no end.
The saints, also called the children of God will inherit the earth and rule
with Jesus Christ in His Kingdom.
