BELIEF DESCRIPTION |
SCRIPTURE
|
LABOR |
We labor six days and do
all our work. Seventh day is a day of rest, holy and dedicated to God, in
which we rest from all our work.
Our soul delights in God and in our spiritual food, His Word.
We come to Him and it won't cost us anything.
Do not spend your money on what does not satisfy.
God will reward laborers according to their work, ie. the one who plants and
the one who waters.
We must always remember that nothing we do in the Lord's service is ever
useless and God will reward us if we stand firm, persevere (do not give up),
and devote ourselves fully to His work. |
Ex 20:8-11
Isa 55:1-3
Matt 6:28
1 Cor 3:8
1 Cor 15:58 |
LAMB |
Jesus is described as the
lamb (without fault, spot, blemish or defect)
of God who takes away the sin of the world.
At Passover, we remember Christ, our Passover lamb, who has been sacrificed.

LAMENTATIONS |
'Lament'
means to feel or
express grief or regret.
A foolish son brings grief to his mother and father and there is no joy for
the father of a fool.
He who winks maliciously causes grief.
Joy may end in grief.
The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some, eager for money,
have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

LAST DAYS POLITICS |
Jesus told His disciples that they would
hear of wars, rumors of wars, famines and earthquakes, as in greater
intensity and frequency and in unexpected places, before the end.
This period is called 'the beginning of sorrows.'
Jesus spoke a parable to the disciples about a particular tree and all the
trees.
The trees represented the nation of Israel and all the nations of the
world.
Scripture tells us there will be false teachers who will be smooth talkers,
have many followers, and slur the Christian faith.
People will be saying "peace and safety" and sudden inescapable destruction
comes upon them.
The possession of the city of Jerusalem will be at the center of
International turmoil.
The Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 14:12 describes what will happen to them.
This would refer to the neutron bomb in modern technology.
In Revelation, we are told that unclean spirits will go forth to the kings
of the earth to draw them to the place called Armageddon for a great
battle.
The book of Daniel mentions a kingdom that is unlike any other and shall
consume the whole earth and tread it down, breaking it in pieces.
In Rev 9:16, the number of an army in the last days will be two
hundred million.
Finance will depend on numbers.
Regarding the Economy:
HAB 2:13 -
Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel
for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
The End Times:
DAN 12:2-3 -
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to
everlasting life, others to
shame
and everlasting contempt.
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those
who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
DAN 12:9-10 - He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the
words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be
purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be
wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will
understand.
In the last days, righteous will be more righteous and wicked more
wicked.
Deception will greatly increase:
ISA 66:15-16 - See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his
chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and
his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD
will execute judgment upon all men, and many will be those slain by the
LORD.
2 PET 2:1
- [ False
Teachers and Their Destruction ] But there were also false prophets among
the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will
secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who
bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. |

LAW
|
We are commanded to obey God's Laws.
Rom 3:31 clearly mentions that we uphold the Law.
Gal 3:17 and Matthew 5:17 tells us that Christ came to establish and fulfill
the law.
Therefore, both the Old and New Testament laws are established and upheld.
This means that the Mosaic law was not nailed to the cross.
We uphold both the old and new testament laws.
In fact, the new testament laws are an elaboration of the old testament
laws.
For example, There are references to the Sabbath day in both the Old and New
Testaments.
Christ was teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath:
Mk 1:21.
The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath: Matt 12:8.
Therefore we are to keep the Sabbath day Holy.
The Ten Commandments are to be upheld. (Please see Commandment).
The gravest sins (which we flee from) in the eyes of God with the
heaviest penalties are:
e.g. idolatry including witchcraft and greed; sexual immorality, drunkenness
and drug abuse.
The Bible teaches that those who live like this will NOT inherit the Kingdom
of God.
1 Cor 6:9-10; Gal 5:19-21; Eph 5:3-7.
We are saved by grace through faith, as mentioned in:
Eph 2:4-8. This means that Christ was the perfect sacrifice for our
sins. We could not save ourselves from sin. Grace is a gift of God.
God freed us from the death penalty by sending His only begotten, divine,
precious, holy Son to redeem us from
our sins.
Grace DOES NOT give us a license to sin and live an immoral
lifestyle.

LAW AGAINST
CONSPIRACY |
The Bible makes it clear that the wicked
do plot against the righteous.
By doing a search for the keyword 'conspire' you will find more scriptures
related to this term.
To conspire means to plan unlawfully and secretly against others.
Laws of justice and mercy in the Bible forbids us to spread false reports,
follow the crowd in doing wrong or pervert justice.
For example, conspiring to mistreat others or to cause others to fall into
sin.
God will judge all who conspire against His righteous children.
The wicked fall into the traps they set for others. |

leadership |
We have different gifts
according to God's grace and through the Holy Spirit.
For example, prophesying, serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing to
the needs of others, leadership and/or showing mercy. |
Rom 12:8 |
LEWDNESS |
'Lewdness' means indecency.
What makes a person 'unclean' comes from within his heart:
evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice,
deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
|
Mk
7:20-23 |
LIARS |
Better to be poor than a liar.
Our adversary, the devil, is a liar and the father of lies. |
Prov 19:22
Jn 8:42-47 |
LIFE |
Wisdom will prolong your life many years.
The wages of the righteous bring them life.
Fear of the lord leads to life, prolongs life and is a fountain of life and
brings prosperity and favor from the Lord.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and the righteous man leads a
blameless life.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.
We will receive the blessing of the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love Him, when we persevere under trial. |

LONGSUFFERING |
'Longsuffering' means bearing patiently.
God waited patiently, while the ark was being built, in the days of Noah,
and only eight people were saved.
One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is patience.
Great patience and endurance is required in prayer and trials.
Our Lord is patient and He gives us the opportunity to be saved. |

LOVE
AND AFFECTION |
The Biblical definition of love is found in the Bible, specifically in 1
Cor 13, and means brotherly love, (not the world's definition of love).
Love is helping, encouraging, inspiring and building. For example:
proclaiming the Gospel "Good News" to all nations, sharing food with and
clothing the hungry, the poor, needy and homeless, helping a christian
brother or sister who is in need, looking after the sick, donating to
charity, etc.
Love means not conspiring to do harm or evil to another person, not to treat
with disrespect (e.g. slander) not oppressing the poor, not cheating or
stealing (taking what belongs to someone else), etc.
|
Deut
6:5
1 Cor 13
|
LOVE OF GOD and for god |
God
demonstrated His love for us by sending His one and only begotten, divine,
precious, Holy Son as the perfect sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus loved us so much that He died for us.
We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength
and we also demonstrate our love for God by obeying His commands. |

LUST |
Lust
means an intense sexual desire and is forbidden in the Bible.
The following kinds of relationships are illicit, unnatural and forbidden in
God's Word. e.g. incest, bestiality, homosexuality, fornication,
adultery and intermarriage.
The following curses are related to disobedience:
1. Barrenness (Unfruitfulness).
2. Disease (sickness, illness, infirmity).
3. Poverty (Insufficiency of food or money).
4. Defeat or Failure.
5. God's Disfavour. |

MAJESTY |
God is
majestic in power and holiness.
Splendor and majesty are before him.
He thunders with His majestic voice.
The Lord is clothed with splendor and majesty and His deeds are majestic.
The Book of Psalms describes in more detail. |

Psa 111:3 |
MALICIOUSNESS |
Maliciousness is evil and means people with
warped, depraved, perverted minds, (that do not function), who have a a
desire to harm others and it can be in various ways. For example, to speak
evil of and conspire against righteous people.
Those who do evil get caught in their own trap and fall into the pit they
have made, and if they do not repent, God sharpens His sword, and multiplies
their afflictions as they deserve.
Evil people are disillusioned and confused and they don't understand why
their plans do not work out.
They imagine themselves to be "gods," but they are only human.
In the end they will prove that they are fools. |

Marriage |
God is always first priority in my life.
I believe in celibacy (remaining unmarried for religious reasons) is best to
focus on our spiritual relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ. (No
marriage and no kids helps us to focus on God).
I believe that 1 Corinthians 7:9,
applies to those who burn with passion and cannot control their sexual
drives. It would be better for them to marry. Otherwise, it would be best
not to marry. But if a person is married, and cannot resist sexual
temptations, and commits adultery, then the best thing to do is to castrate
himself, and therefore he will have absolutely no difficulty in resisting
sexual urges. I heard that many men are in the queue for castration. Marital
unfaithfulness is legal grounds for divorce.
Total abstinence from fornication (sexual immorality). This means, intimacy
outside of marriage is forbidden in God's Word. Celibacy (I love chastity -
godliness, holiness and purity)
is commanded or marriage with a true believer who shares the same beliefs in
God.
I
believe in godly living, (not worldly living) and marriage is sacred, and
intimacy is reserved between a god
fearing (godly) husband (man) and god fearing (godly) wife (woman) who have been
practicing abstinence in all aspects, all their lives, or have repented of
any sexual sins years prior to
their marriage, demonstrating
to God and to each other how much they hate sin, and confessed and renounced past sins
(turned away from them completely), with a complete transformation of
lifestyle. (Also, prayers will be powerful and effective).
In this way, the married couple will be living a godly lifestyle and their
hearts will be completely devoted to God, because they share the same
beliefs in God, have the same values & principles with awe (Godly fear &
respect) for God and integrity.
A God fearing man and woman who are faithful to God, obey God's
commandments, love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength and
have been practicing abstinence are most important in a marriage.
(Riches are not important).
I don't believe in intermarriage, or marriage between a believer and
unbeliever. Especially if the husband is an unbeliever, as he will have a
negative influence upon a godly woman. |

MINISTRY |
God has
called me into full-time ministry work, and I've devoted my entire life to
serving God, proclaiming the Gospel "Good News" via my website.
My ministry is blessed by God in reaching the world and every good and
perfect gift and blessing comes from Him.
I have a passion for combining bible teaching and prophesying with the
production of Christian Music in my ministry.
As with Paul, my proclamation of the Gospel is backed up with true, real,
actual, undeniable displays of God's Supreme Power with miracles, signs and
wonders.
As with Jacob, God does supernaturally protect His Servants so that the
terror of the Lord comes upon anyone who comes against us or interferes in
our work for God.
Prophesying is a ministry that is open to both men and women.
For example, Philip, the evangelist, had four daughters who prophesied.
I don't give sweet little itching ears type preaching for profit as most
churches do today. I preach truth!
2 TIM 4:3 - For the time will
come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their
own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say
what their itching ears want to hear.
The Bible tells us to rebuke:
2 TIM 4:2 - Preach the Word; be
prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and
encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
TITUS 1:13 - This
testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be
sound in the faith.
You will see the difference between those who serve God and those who do
not!
MAL 3:18 - And you will again see the
distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve
God and those who do not. |

MINISTRY OF JESUS |
The Ministry of Jesus
went on for three and a half years while He was on the earth.
Jesus describes the signs of the times and the end of the age on the Mount
of Olives.
Jesus said the leaven of the Pharisees was hypocrisy; He spoke with the
Samaritan woman at Jacob's well; He said the greatest commandment of the law
is to love the Lord thy God; Two thousand swine died when Jesus permitted
demons to possess them; Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah when He went into
the synagogue at Nazareth; Nicodemus came to Jesus at night to hear His
teaching.
I follow Christ's example in ministry and Christ rebuked hypocrites
sharply and we are to have nothing to do with hypocrites:
MATT 23:13-33 - "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter,
nor will you let those enter who are trying to. "Woe to you, teachers of the
law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to
win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a
son of hell as you are. "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If
anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the
gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' You blind fools! Which
is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? You also
say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears
by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.' You blind men! Which is
greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? Therefore, he
who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And he who
swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. And he
who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected
the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You
should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You
blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. "Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the
outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and
self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup
and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. "Woe to you, teachers of
the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which
look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones
and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people
as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And
you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have
taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' So you testify
against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the
prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! "You
snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned
to hell? |

MIRACLES OF JESUS |
Jesus
performed many miracles in His earthly life. For example, He walked on the
Sea of Galilee; cast 7 demons out of Mary Magdalene; Healed Simon Peter's
mother-in-law of fever; He turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana of
Galilee; He caused the fig tree to wither up; a gentile woman from Canaan
begged Jesus to heal her daughter who was demon-possessed; Jesus healed
Jairus' daughter who had died while He was on His way to his house to heal
her; Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead in the city of Bethany; There were
12 baskets full of pieces left when Jesus fed five thousand people.

All glory, honor, praise,
worship, majesty, splendor and Supreme Power belongs to the Lord Our God and
His son Jesus Christ.
God displays great and awesome miracles, signs and wonders with His Supreme,
Mighty Power to all nations through my gospel ministry.
I will proclaim God's Mighty miracles, signs and wonders through my
Christian Gospel Music, my website and scriptural materials and merchandise,
such as posters, screensavers, tracts, brochures, etc.
With God all things are possible and God is able to do superabundantly,
above all we ask, think or can possibly imagine. We totally depend on God. (We cannot do anything
on our own).
Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the branches. We must abide in the vine
if we are to bear much fruit in our lives including the Gospel ministry.

MONEY |
Firstly, God is first love and first
priority in my life! I reject bribes no matter how large the sum may be.
I will never abandon my faith in Almighty God. No one and nothing can
replace the Lord My God in my life and God means everything to me!
Humility and fear of the Lord brings
riches, honor and life.
Better to fear the Lord and have little than great treasure with trouble
(distress).
Blessing of the Lord makes us rich and he adds no sorrow with it.
When God is angry, riches will not save:
but righteousness will save one from death.
Trusting in riches will cause you to fail: but the righteous will prosper as
healthy plants.
Heavy drinkers and lovers of pleasure will lose all they have and become
poor.
A good reputation is worth more than great riches and honor is better than
gold or silver.
Whoever robs his parents and thinks it is no sin, is a common thief.

Righteousness exalts a nation.
God says that He will show the holiness of His great name.
In the Great Commission, Christ said to go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that He has commanded.
I believe, the "ministers" who do not obey this command will be in the
category of "I never knew you, depart from me you wicked people."

NEW TESTAMENT |
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
are called the four Gospels.
The Book of Acts begins with the Ascension of Jesus and the last thing He
said to His disciples was: "You shall receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth."
Paul was the apostle who wrote the vast majority of the New Testament
letters to the Churches.
Whoever believes in Christ shall not be ashamed. There is only One Lord and
whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
A soldier is an illustration of the Christian life.
We can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us.
Christ in us is the hope of glory.
Paul wrote to Timothy and Titus, two young pastors, giving them lots of good
advice for their personal lives, and for their churches.
Submit to God, resist the devil and he flees from us.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man has a powerful effect.
We must be doers of the word, not just hearers. This is living faith.
The Book of Revelation tells us things which must shortly come to pass. |

Waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
The earth was filled with violence, that God sent a great flood upon the
earth.
In the last days, it will be as it was in the time of Noah, sin and violence
rampant everywhere and this time, the earth will be destroyed by fire. |

OPPRESSION |
Oppression of the poor, ignoring and neglecting the underprivileged is
condemned in God's word.
We are to love our Christian brothers and sisters, with brotherly love,
proving this by our actions and good works.
If you have material possessions (have wealth) see a Christian brother or
sister in need, you help and encourage them, not ignore and neglect them.
God will help the oppressed and will judge all oppressors. There is a
warning to rich oppressors in James 5:1-5, and many other scriptures
related to oppression in the psalms.
My definition of self-centeredness is one who makes himself number one,
instead of making Almighty Creator God number one priority; is self-reliant,
trusting in himself, his riches and possessions, instead of trusting in
Almighty God; one who is selfish and does not care about sharing or helping
the poor and needy; is self-indulgent & immersed in the activities of eating
and drinking and makes his stomach his god.
The rich will suffer for their oppression. The Lord is my God and He is my
provider, shelter, defender and protector and He will make you pay for it!

Judgment against rich oppressors:
2 PET 2:9
-if
this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to
hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their
punishment.
JAS 5:1-20 - Now listen,
you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon
you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold
and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat
your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The
wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out
against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord
Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have
fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned
and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing |

overcome all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm us.
We are to overcome evil with good and everyone born of God overcomes the
world, we win the victory over the world by means of our faith.

PARABLES OF JESUS |
There are
many parables of Jesus in Scripture. For example:
In the Parable of the rich fool, the man who had a bumper crop died; In the
Parable of the weeds, the tares/weeds that grew up among the wheat were
burned up; In the Parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl, the man
found treasure hidden in a field, so that he sold all he had to buy that
field and in this same parable the merchant sold all he had to buy the one
pearl of great price;
In the Parable of the Talents, the man who received five talents from His
master earned five more talents; In the Parable of the mustard seed, the
mustard seed is described as smaller than all the others, but becomes
greater. |

and godly lives in this present age. |

PEOPLE ON EARTH AT
END OF TIME |
Jesus said the day of His coming would be
like a snare for all the people on earth.
Jesus said that heaven and earth will pass away but His words will never
pass away.
False christs and false prophets would arise, doing great wonders and if it
were possible would deceive the very elect of God.
The apostle Jude reminded the church that there would be mockers walking
after their own ungodly lusts.
One third of the population will die in the great tribulation. The other two
thirds who are left will still not repent.
In the time of the great tribulation, the fourth angel pours a vial on the
sun and power is given to him to scorch the inhabitants of the earth with
its fire.
A description of what people will be like is found in: 2 Tim 3:1-5
and we are to have nothing to do with them.
Mockers will deliberately forget two events: the creation of the world and
the flood. |

PERDITION |
Perdition means eternal damnation.
The man of lawlessness is also called the son of perdition and he is doomed
to destruction.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare (trap) and into
foolish and harmful desires that plunge or drown men into ruin and
destruction.
We DO NOT shrink back and are destroyed but we believe and are saved.
The present heavens and earth are reserved for fire and God has appointed a
day of judgment and destruction. The eternal damnation of ungodly men.

POOR |
God has chosen the poor in the eyes of the
world to be rich in faith and to inherit the Kingdom He has promised those
who love Him.
The poor have hope in God.
Although evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, the Lord protects them
and He rescues the poor and needy from those who rob them.
He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for God but whoever is kind to the
needy honors God.
He who loves pleasure will become poor.
The Wife of Noble Character or Proverbs 31 Woman is kind to the poor and
needy.
The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the poor in spirit. |

PRAISE |
We praise God among the
nations and proclaim aloud His praise and tell of all His awesome
deeds. Praising His great and awesome name.
We praise and worship God in many different ways. For example, with our
bodies:
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.
We also praise God with our lifestyles.
The Christian life is a life of self-sacrifice as opposed to self-indulgence
(note: self-indulgence leads to sin).
Therefore,
worldly pleasures all
forsaken. |

worship music and lyrics that glorify, honor and exalt him as Supreme God.
We Praise and Worship God, (not
man).
Christian Music is the only music I have dedicated my life to producing.
Read more about the Power of Praise and Worship
The book of psalms is in the
centre of the bible and includes many references to string, woodwind, brass
and percussion instruments and loud songs!
For example loud clashing cymbals in: Psalm 150.
The Bible encourages the use of loud instruments.
According to the Bible, musicians
were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work in
serving God day and night.

prayer |
All
our prayers must be directed to God our Father, In Jesus Name.
God's Word never mentions to direct our prayers to Mary, the mother of Jesus,
saints
or angels.
We will receive answers to our prayers according to God's will and timing
and our requests must be aligned with
His will, plan and purpose for our lives.
We know God's will by reading and studying His Word.
Faith, Patience and Perseverance is crucial in Prayer and trials.
The Parable of the persistent widow in: Luke 18, teaches us perseverance in Prayer.
God answers our prayers after true, heartfelt repentance and we are never to
cherish sin in our hearts.
I don't believe that God answers the prayers of unrepentant sinners.
We seek first the Kingdom of God, therefore our prayers must be spiritual,
(not material).
Please pray for more workers in the Gospel Ministry field who preach the
true Gospel.
The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few.
We need more true pastors & teachers speaking Bible truths openly and
honestly & more deliverance ministers.
Also, more Christians to proclaim the Gospel e.g. through Christian Gospel
Music or teaching the Gospel or Prophecy via websites and throughout the
internet.
Every true believer has a gift of the spirit that needs to be exercised or
developed. |

PREACHING |
The Gospel is so crucial to be preached in
these last days, that people will be on their knees before God, begging for
their very lives, but it will be too late then, because
as Isaiah 66:15-18 mentions, many will be those slain by the Lord.
Therefore God demands repentance right now, not later and He has given us
enough time to repent and the opportunity to be saved.
Psalm 7:9-17 mentions what will happen to those who refuse to repent.
God will punish those who DO NOT know Him and DO NOT obey the gospel of our
Lord Jesus as 2 Thess 1:8-9 mentions, with the following punishments:
1) Everlasting Destruction.
2) Shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power.
Jesus preached the Good News of the Kingdom and as Christ Himself mentioned:
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the
harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." |

Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.
4. We must keep watch as Jesus Christ will Return unexpectedly.

Prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
To be given prosperity and be allowed to enjoy it is a real blessing that
comes only from God.
A generous man prospers.
Pursuing righteousness brings prosperity.
Ecclesiastes 2:26 tells us that God gives sinners the task of
gathering and heaping up to give to the one who pleases Him.

PROTECTION |
As with Jacob, God supernaturally
protects His servants so that
the
terror of the Lord comes upon anyone who comes against us or interferes in
our work for God.
When God is for us, who would dare be against us?
The Lord delivers the righteous from trouble and preserves their lives
and the faithful and just will be protected forever.
The Lord is faithful and He will strengthen and protect us from the evil
one.
Because we love the Lord and acknowledge His Name, He rescues us and
protects us.
Christ prayed for the protection of His elect, NOT the world.
We are
NOT to forsake wisdom, for she will protect us. |

PUNISHMENT |
The punishment that brought us peace was
upon Christ, and by His wounds we are healed.
Punishments for disobedience are mentioned in: Leviticus 26:14-46.
They apply today as they did generations past.
We, the righteous, will observe, which means, watch carefully or monitor,
study and examine with our eyes and see the punishments of the wicked.
The wages of the righteous bring them life and to those who have
understanding, it is a fountain of life.
The Parable of the Sheep and Goats, tells us how the righteous will inherit
eternal life and how the wicked are cursed, the eternal fire is prepared for
the devil and his angels.
The Lord knows how to rescue the righteous from their trials, and according
to scripture, the wicked are continuously being punished up until the day of
Judgment where they receive another portion of punishment.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns serve as an example of those
who suffer eternal fire as punishment because they gave themselves up to
sexual immorality and perversion. |

PURIFICATION |
Christ is now seated at the
right hand of the Divine Majesty in heaven, after He provided purification
for sins.
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, gave Himself for us as redemption for our
sins and for our purification.
Making us His very own, zealous for good works.
We purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit (world
pollution) and perfect holiness through reverence for God.
We come near to God and purify our hearts.
We confess and renounce our sins to God, and He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
This DOES NOT mean we habitually practice sin and ask God for forgiveness
each time.
We must be demonstrating to God that we have turned away from sin and we are
living a life of purity, holiness and godliness. |

PURITY |
Jesus Christ meets our
need.
He is holy, pure, blameless, set apart from sinners and exalted above the
heavens.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
Those who have a pure heart will receive blessing from the Lord and they
will see God.
A young man keeps his way pure by living according to God's word.
Our minds must be focused on whatever is true, right, noble, pure, lovely
and admirable.
Love comes from a pure heart, good conscience and a sincere faith.
We are to purify ourselves and keep ourselves pure.
God will judge adulterers and all the sexually immoral, therefore
marriage must be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure.

PURPOSE |
God is mighty and firm in His purpose and
He fulfills His purpose for us.
A man may make many plans, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
The Lord foils (frustrates) the plans of the nations; He thwarts (prevents
from being accomplished) the purposes of the peoples.
God has called us for His purpose and in all things, He works for the good
of those who love Him and He made known to us the mystery of His will
according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ.
God uses people for a specific purpose, to display His power and so that His
name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
We were predestined according to God's plan, who works out everything
according to the purpose of His will and God works in us to will and to act
according to His good purpose.
The purpose and grace of God has saved us and called us to a holy life. |

QUALITY |
The quality of each man's
work for God will be tested by fire and shown for what it is.
We are to build on the foundation of Christ.
If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.
If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only
as one escaping through the flames. |
1 Cor 3:10-15 |
QUARREL |
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker. Who
would dare quarrel with God?
Pride breeds only quarrels (fights and arguments) and he who loves a quarrel
loves sin.
A patient man calms a quarrel.
Drive out the mocker, and you will have no more strife, quarrels and
insults.
Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
The overseer must not be quarrelsome.
Foolish and stupid arguments produce quarreling
and unprofitable and useless are foolish controversies and genealogies and
arguments and quarrels about the law. Therefore avoid them. |

QUIETNESS |
Better to eat a dry crust
with peace and quiet than a banquet in a house with strife (trouble).
In repentance and rest = salvation.
In quietness and trust = strength.
Fruit of righteousness = peace.
Effect of righteousness = quietness and confidence forever.
The Lord our God is with us and He is mighty to save. It is good to wait
quietly for salvation comes from the Lord.
He will take great delight in us, He will quiet us with His love, He will
rejoice over us with singing.
Make it your ambition to lead a peaceful, quiet life with holiness and
godliness and mind your own business.
Of great worth in God's sight is the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit. |

RAGE |
Around the Lord our God a
tempest rages, ie. anger, fury and great wrath.
A man's evil and foolishness ruins him and yet his heart rages against and
blames the Lord.
All who rage against the Lord are put to shame and disgrace; those who
oppose Him will be as nothing and perish.
The acts of the sinful nature include fits of rage. Those who are involved
in these sins among others listed in Galatians 5, and live like this, WILL
NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.
Get rid of all bitterness, anger, rage, brawling, slander and every form of
malice.
We have put on the new self created to be like Christ in true righteousness
and holiness, therefore get rid of lies. |

then we who are alive will be gathered up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. |

REBELLIOUS |
Rebellion
is as the sin of witchcraft.
Those who became fools suffered affliction because of their sin, evil and
refusal to obey God (rebellion).
According to the Book of Proverbs, death will come like a cruel messenger to
wicked people who are always stirring up trouble, because an evil man is
bent only on rebellion. |

REDEMPTION |
We are redeemed and set free from all our sins
only through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. A lamb without spot or
blemish.
This means Christ never sinned.
He was totally pure, holy, blameless and without sin and this is why He was
the perfect sacrifice for our sins. |

REFUGE |
Tell the world, and
remember, from generation to generation, all of God's
awesome deeds and how He has been our refuge and saved us and defeated all
our enemies and put them to total shame!
We take refuge in the Lord our God who is our fortress, deliverer, rock, shield, salvation, stronghold and savior.
The Lord shelters and protects the oppressed. He is our stronghold in times
of trouble and He helps, delivers and saves us from the wicked.
God's great goodness, is stored up for those who fear Him and take refuge in
Him and is bestowed in the sight of men.
God's ways are a refuge for the righteous, but the evil are ruined.
Those who fear the Lord have a secure fortress. |

The wine representing His holy blood poured out for the forgiveness of our
sins and unleavened bread which represents His broken body.
Once we confess and renounce our sins to God, He remembers them no more.
They are completely erased from our record, just as if we'd never sinned.

REPENTANCE |
The Bible gives strong
warnings to repent in Luke 13:1-9.
True repentance means confession of sin to God and turning away from those
sins.
It is not a modification of the old life. It is a complete transformation of
lifestyle and walking the path of holiness, godliness, purity, truth and
righteousness.
God's way is the only way that works. Godly sorrow is required.
(Not just saying sorry every time one sins). |

RESPECT |
Firstly, we respect the Lord
God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ.
Brothers are to respect those who work hard among them.
Husbands must respect their wives and a kindhearted woman gains respect.
An overseer and deacon must manage his own family well and see that his
children obey him with proper respect. |

REST |
The Sabbath is a day of rest,
holy and dedicated to God.
When we dwell in the shelter of the Most High, we will rest in the shadow of
the Almighty.
Christ gives rest to those who are weary and burdened.
You will find rest for your souls. |

RESURRECTION OF JESUS |
Jesus Christ appeared first to Mary
Magdalene.
After the sabbath, early on the first day of the week (sunday), the tomb was
already empty, therefore Christ was raised before that day and was in the
heart of the earth, the grave, from wednesday sunset to saturday sunset, exactly three days and three nights, as Christ Himself prophesied about His own
death and resurrection in Matt 12:40.
After Jesus' resurrection, the bodies of many holy people
(who were raised after Jesus' crucifixion) went into the holy city and
appeared to many people.

return
as King of kings and Lord of lords |
Jesus Christ will return as
King of kings and Lord of lords.
Jesus Christ told His disciples that immediately prior to His second coming
the sun will be dark, moon will no longer give its light, stars will fall
from heaven and powers of the heavens will be shaken.
There will be signs in the heavens and in the sea, nations will be
distressed and then we will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
heaven with Power and Great Glory. When we see these things happening look
up because our salvation draws near.
In Revelation, John said "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall
see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen."
The natural phenomena that Jesus likened His second coming to is lightning
from the east, shining to the west.
A great sound of a trumpet will accompany the return of Christ.
Jesus said all the holy angels will gather His elect from the four winds of
the earth at the time of His second coming.

John wrote the Book of Revelation, while
in exile on the island of Patmos.
Jesus had seven stars in His right hand when He first appeared in
Revelation, symbolizing the angels of the seven churches.
Jesus finds no fault with the Church in Philadelphia.
There will be twenty four elders seated and four beasts around the throne in
heaven.
The beasts will say "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is,
and is to come."
There are seven seals in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
The Lamb was worthy to open the book and break the seals.
Four horses (red, white, black, pale) were seen as the seals were opened,
one by one. |

RICHES |
God is most important in
my life, (more important than riches, fame, anything or anyone else).
God must be our first love (not money).
We serve the Lord our God who is the everlasting one & we
inherit eternal life (We don't serve money, which is temporary & passes
away).
Wealth cannot buy a spiritual relationship with God, nor
health, love, happiness or peace & certainly no money in this world can buy
one's way out of the catastrophes & disasters coming upon the earth because
of sin.
Money cannot save one from death.
It is God who saves & provides security.
There are many cases where one may be given wealth but not
allowed to enjoy it.
The wealth that one stores here on earth cannot be taken
up into heaven.
(You cannot take it with you when you die).
Showing favor to the rich is disrespectful to the poor &
forbidden in God's word.

RIGHTEOUSNESS |
The Lord Almighty is beyond
our reach, exalted in power, and He works righteousness and justice for all
the oppressed, because righteousness and justice are the foundation of His
throne, therefore His judgments are always true, just and righteous.
God answers us with awesome deeds of righteousness and God's throne will
last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of His
Kingdom.
God makes His salvation and His everlasting righteousness known throughout
the world and we will joyfully sing of His righteousness.
God's Word teaches us righteousness.
Wealth and ill-gotten treasures are of no value and are worthless in the day of wrath, but
righteousness delivers from death.
The righteousness of the blameless makes a straight way for them and the
righteousness of the upright delivers them and the truly righteous man
attains life.
The benefits of the righteous are many and include, life and immortality.
God's children love righteousness and hate wickedness.
We are to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness
and holiness and flee from all sinful, carnal desires.
A man will reap what he sows, therefore he who sows righteousness reaps a
sure reward. |

RULES FOR SACRED
LIVING |
Put on the new self created in Christ
Jesus.
Avoid sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, greed (idolatry).
Get rid of anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language.
I boast in God and what magnificent things He has done for me and how He has
transformed my life completely! I included my schedule because there are
people who don't understand what the words "Live a godly and holy life" and
"Avoid pollution" in the Bible mean:
Godz Angel's
Daily Sacred Living Schedule:
1. Work for God (six days a week)
Includes
Proclamation of Gospel via website and production of Christian Music and
merchandise etc.
2. Sabbath
rest
Extra time
in fellowship with God through prayer
and bible study.
3.
Conformance to God (First love and first priority).
(not the world) and avoidance
of all evil including
hypocrites, corrupt and evil company.
e.g. I visit Christian websites only.
4. Total
Abstinence from the world and all its
sinful pleasures
(which leads to death & destruction).
God
strictly forbids all immorality including sexual immorality, fornication, adultery, remarriage etc.
5. Fasting
occasionally
6. Prayer 3
times a day
7. Read
Holy Bible at least 30 mins a day
(as per bible planner).
8.
Deliverance
Casting out demons (evil spirits) to protect against any demons/demonic attacks.
9. Listen
only to Praise/Worship/Christian/Gospel Music only 24/7 -
(via ipod/computer).
10. Visit
Christian websites and Christian search engines only
for helpful, encouraging and inspirational material
in my daily Christian living.
I also avoid what is considered Christian by the world today, but contradicts
the Word of God.
I always use safe filter on (strict family safe search) and use a safe search
engine with no surprises like
surfsafely.
11. Read
Christian Books/literature only
12. Read
Christian/Prophecy news only
13. No
tv/radio and no advertising (junk mail)
selected
online Christian radio stations only.
TV & radio boxes were obstacles and distractions that were destroyed a long time ago.
14. Watch
Christian dvd's online
15. No
magazines
16. No
newspapers
17. No junk mail
18. Eat clean foods only
19. No social network websites
I focus totally on God and His Son Jesus Christ!
I avoid the world.
God Bless the faithful remnant!
I also avoid social network websites because all kinds of criminals and perverts
are among those who go there.
For example, paedophile predators.
20. Avoid Clubs
21. Avoid Drugs
22. Avoid Smoking
23. Avoid Alcohol (in moderation and for Passover only)
24. Avoid Greed
25. Avoid Debauchery
26. Avoid Slander
27. Avoid Witchcraft
In Jesus Name (Authority, Power and Name of
Jesus), I bind up and command evil spirits to leave, so
that anyone or any group of people who attempt to send us evil spirits through
conjuration will have no effect.
For example, spirits of lust, infirmity, depression and death, etc.
This is crucial to be done on a daily basis to prevent any demonic activity.
The following scripture applies to anyone who even attempts to entice and
influence God's children into sin:
Mk 9:42
- [ Causing to Sin ] "And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe
in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large
millstone tied around his neck.
SIRACH 26:29 - Those who rejoice in the fall of the godly will be caught in a snare, and pain
will consume them before their death.
28. Avoid All Kinds of Impurities and filthy language
29. Avoid Idolatry
The Bible tells us the Lord our God, creator of heaven and
earth must always be first love and first priority in our lives.
Therefore, anything that one places before or above the true God is idolatry.
Witchcraft is an abomination and detestable in God's sight, which we never
participate in.
There are grave dangers for those involved in witchcraft. Greed and gluttony is
also a form of idolatry.
God's Word mentions that we are never to even make reference to, invoke, pronounce the
names of any other "gods." This includes studying the literature of any other
religion.
Ex 23:13 - "Be careful to do everything I
have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be
heard on your lips.
30. Avoid Corrupt and Evil Company
I have nothing to do with
unrepentant sinners (those who cherish sin in their hearts and have no intention
of repenting), those who disrespect, ignore and reject the gospel.
The Bible tells us that whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from
God does not listen to us and also Acts 17:30-31
mentions that God commands all people everywhere to repent.
This means that those who don't listen to us reject the gospel and stand
opposed to God and His elect.
I also avoid hypocrites, corrupt and evil company.
* The more you are opposed to us and the gospel, the more we draw closer to God
and the more godly we become, inspired
by the Holy
Spirit.
31. Avoid All Forms of Obscene (repulsive) Provocations/Temptations
* For example, sick perverts and
disgusting movies, advertising, clothes. e.g. scuba diving, hooker type clothes
and black funeral clothes.
* Scripture tells us that what is highly honored among men (the world) is
detestable in God's sight.
* It is also detestable in my sight and in the sight of my christian brothers
and sisters, the faithful remnant. |
Col 3:1-17
2 Cor 5:16-17 |
Sabbath |
We must observe God's Sabbath and keep it
holy. It is a day of rest dedicated to God.
Observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
SunriseandSunset
Seventh day of the week is
saturday.
We spend extra time in fellowship
with God through prayer and bible study.
There are many references to God's Holy Sabbath in both the Old and New
Testament.
Jesus Christ kept the Sabbath.
The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Sabbath must be kept & respected under any circumstance.
Rules for Sabbath:
* Kindle no fire.
* Food must be prepared the day before as we are forbidden to cook on this
day.
* No work.
* No idle words.
* Minimal to no distance travel. |

face is good for the heart. |
Ecc 7:3 |
SAFETY |
The Lord lifts to safety
those who mourn and He keeps the righteous safe and protected from the wicked.
The wicked fall into their own traps and we pass by in safety.
There are strong warnings about rejecting wisdom in the Book of Proverbs.
The blameless and he who walks in wisdom are kept safe.
Children of God DO NOT habitually, deliberately and continuously practice sin.
Jesus, the Son of God keeps us safe and the evil one cannot harm us. |

SAINTS |
God's saints sing for joy and we extol Him,
which means honor, glorify, magnify and praise God's holy name.
We always pray for all the saints.
Only a few will be saved - God bless the faithful remnant, my Christian
brothers and sisters in Christ, who are God's faithful servants!
There will be only few
survivors on earth, (those who are faithful to God) with the coming
catastrophes coming upon the earth because of sin and disobedience!
2 ESDRAS 7:49-52 - "Listen to me," the angel
said, "and I will teach you further and correct your thinking. Because only
a few will be saved,
God created two worlds, instead of only one.
As you say, only a few people are righteous, but there are large numbers of
wicked people. But listen: if you had only a few precious stones, would you
add lumps of lead and clay to them in order to have more?"
"Surely no one would do that, sir," I answered.
2 ESDRAS 7:57-61 - So judge for yourself which are more
desirable and valuable, common things or rare things." I answered, "Lord and
master, the common things are cheap; it is the rare things that are
valuable.
"All right," he replied, "so draw the logical conclusion: the person who has
what is scarce has more reason to be pleased than the person who has what is
plentiful. It's the same with the judgment that I have promised: I will be
pleased with the few who will be saved, because they are the ones who now
praise and honour me and make my name known. I will not be sad about the
large number of people who will be lost, because even now they last no
longer than a vapour; they disappear like fire and smoke; they catch fire,
blaze up, and quickly go out.
MATT 7:13 - [ The Narrow and Wide Gates ] "Enter through the
narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it. |

SALVATION |
Although God's plan of
salvation is Universal, He is not saving the world at this time. Instead,
God is only saving His elect, called the 'First fruits of Salvation,'
represented by the Feast of Pentecost.
I also believe that though we are saved by the grace of God, we are
commanded to obey God's Laws.
Please see 'Law.' |

God's children are sanctified, consecrated, set apart

We avoid sexual immorality. |

SAVIOR |
The Lord Jesus Christ is Our Savior and
Redeemer, who shed his precious holy blood on the cross for the forgiveness
of our sins, so that we could be forgiven of all our sins.
Christ is divine, sent from the Father, pure holy, blameless and without
sin.
This is why He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
The Blood of Jesus must be applied to our lives, this means we must repent,
confess our sins to God, ask forgiveness and renounce and turn away from
those sins.
We draw closer to God and seek His help as we live a new life in Christ,
walking the path of godliness, holiness, purity and righteousness.
We always grow in the grace and knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ by studying God's word. |

SECURITY |
We depend on the Lord for
security and He secures justice for His children.
He who fears the Lord is secure. |
Psa 112:8
Psa 140:12
Prov 14:26 |
SELF-CONTROL |
A man who lacks self-control
is compared to a city whose walls are broken down.
Self-control is one of the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.
We are to be alert and self-controlled.
The grace of God that brings salvation teaches us to:
1) Say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions.
2) Live self-controlled, upright and godly lives.
Overseers, young men and older men must be self-controlled.
Also, older women are to be reverent in the way they live, e.g. not to be
slanderers, alcoholics, but to teach what is good, so that they can also
train younger women to be pure and self-controlled. |

2 Pet 1:6 |
SELF-SACRIFICE |
Self-sacrifice where worldly pleasures
are all
forsaken is the opposite of self-indulgence.
A true disciple of Christ will deny self, take up his cross and follow Christ.
Our lives must be God centered.
The word "hate" in Lk 9:25 means to love less by comparison. |
Lk 9:23-24
Lk 14:25-35
Titus 2:11-14 |
SERVICE |
We are devoted to and worship
the Lord Our God and serve Him only.
One must choose who he will serve, because it is impossible to serve two
masters, that is, both God and money. His heart will be with God or with
money. |

SHAME |
We are to fix our eyes on
Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Christ's resurrection and glory was awaiting Him, that He endured the cross
and scorned its shame and He is now at the right hand of the throne of God.
He is coming back as a lion, not as a lamb.
God gives us victory over all our enemies and puts them to shame.
Those who ignore discipline come to poverty and shame. |

SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING AND THE END
OF THE AGE |
The following signs of the end of the age
in the Book of Matthew are directly related to the four
horsemen of Apocalypse in Revelation chapter 6.
1. Religious Deception. e.g. false prophets, antichrists.
2. Wars and rumors of wars.
3. Famines and earthquakes.
4. Death.
Four horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book
of Revelation:
White horse: Religious Deception. e.g. false prophets, antichrists.
Red horse: Wars.
Black horse: Famine.
Pale Horse: Death.
Signs in the sun, moon and stars:
Sun dark, moon no longer shines, stars will fall from heaven and the whole
earth will be shaken.
Faithful and true servants of God will be supernaturally
protected from the coming tribulation, but the wicked will perish. One
fourth of the world's population will die through the first four seals alone
(four horsemen of apocalypse). This is
during a period described
as only the beginning of sorrows!
WHO WILL
RULE EARTH? Scriptures show that only one-tenth of Israel will survive into the
Millennium. This is representative of the other nations of the earth, as
well. Most of Israel will be destroyed in the Tribulation while most of the
other nations will fall during the wars and calamities of the Day of the
Lord.
Just the fourth seal and the second woe alone kill one-half of all
humanity, and this does not include the other trumpet plagues, earthquakes,
or the seven last plagues.
As the millennium begins, truly it will be only a remnant of humanity - only
one-tenth - who survive the end-time horrors.
If
Christ were not to intervene at that time, no flesh would survive the
carnage of nuclear, chemical and biological warfare.
The remnant population, together with the destructive calamities that will
have virtually destroyed the last vestiges of man's civilization,
will make the process of introducing this new civilization a gradual and
systematic process of re-education. The Return of Jesus Christ with His
resurrected saints, and the putting away of Satan and his demons for the
duration of the millennium, make this giant task workable.
The resurrected saints
will rule over the people who remain alive at Christ's return! |
Matt
24:3-35
Rev 6:1-8 |
SIN |
The Bible defines sin as a transgression of God's Laws
and the
wages of sin is death.
Those born of God do not deliberately, habitually
and knowingly practice sin.
Blasphemy (irreverent talk) against the Holy Spirit is an unpardonable sin
and will never be forgiven.
If anyone attempts to entice God's children into sin:
MK 9:42 - [ Causing to Sin ] "And if anyone causes
one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for
him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.
The fate of those who cause sin and all
who do evil:
MATT 13:40-43 - "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in
the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out
his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin
and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine
like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
The soul who sins will die. The son will not die for his father's sin.
His father will die for his own sin.
EZEK 18:20 - The soul who sins is the one who will
die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father
share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be
credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against
him.
There is a big difference between one who has repented (confessed
and renounced his sins to God) and does not cherish sin in his heart
and one who has not repented and does cherish sin in his
heart.
PSALM 66:18-20 - If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would
not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
Don't take part in what the disobedient do and don't be partners with
them.
We separate ourselves from unbelievers.
EPH 5:11-12 - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what
the disobedient do in secret.
2 COR 6:14-18 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For
what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can
light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is
there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the
living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and
I will be their God, and they will be my people." "Therefore come out from
them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will
receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and
daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
I also separate myself from lukewarm believers. Note: There are
many who call themselves "Christians" and fit into the following category:
1 COR 5:11 - But now I
am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a
brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a
drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. |

SLANDER |
Slandering God, Jesus
Christ His son, angels or other celestial (heavenly) beings, a Christian
brother or sister, or another human being is evil and condemned in the
Bible.
Slander means a false statement spoken maliciously that damages a person's
reputation.
It creates church disunity, strife and even breaks marriages.
God says that exalting
yourself and putting others down through slander is pride and He resists the
proud but gives grace to the humble.
The Bible says that gossip & slander is cowardly, foolish, and in the end,
will prove to be costly to the persons involved, according to the Bible.
Those responsible for spreading slander in churches (causing strife and
disunity) & broadcasting slander/defamation directed toward God's children
will suffer consequences for their actions.
Example, Psalm 34:12-14 & Psalm 35:26.
We are never to associate with gossips and slanderers.
You may be able to fool people with malicious talk, but you cannot fool
God.
The sowing and reaping principle applies to gossip & slander.
Proud mockers fit this category and they will be clothed with shame Prov 14:6.

SOWING AND REAPING |
God cannot be mocked, a man
will reap what he sows.
Those who sow to please the spirit will reap eternal life and those who sow
to please their carnal nature will reap death and destruction.
Remember: the more good seeds one sows, the more one will reap a good
harvest.
The opposite is also true of those who do evil. The more evil a person sows, the
more evil will come back to that person.
It has a boomerang effect.
(It may be immediate or take years to happen, but it will still happen). You
will reap the consequences of your actions.
Sowing good = reaping good.
Sowing evil = reaping evil. |

spiritual act of worship is to offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice,
dedicated to His service.

in Christ.
We speak psalms, hymns and sing spiritual songs with gratitude (gratefulness
and thankfulness) in our hearts to God. |

Spiritual
Examination |
We must conduct a spiritual examination on
ourselves and focus on our relationship with God.
Clean the inside of the cup first as Jesus Christ explained.
We are not to judge by mere appearance because God does not judge
externally.
Conducting a spiritual examination on ourselves is especially crucial prior
to Passover and when we partake of communion,
we do so in a worthy manner. |

SPIRITUAL WARFARE
or battle |
There
are six crucial pieces of spiritual armor that we must always wear in our
warfare against evil, according to Eph 6:10-18 and firstly, we
include prayer in our spiritual warfare:
Pray in the Spirit: With
all kinds of prayers and requests. Keep alert and never give up. Pray
always for all God's people.
1. Helmet of Salvation: Only through Jesus Christ we have salvation
and our minds are protected through His Blood.
2. Breastplate of Righteousness:
The spiritual battle is won in the Name of Jesus Christ.
3. Shield of Faith: Belief, trust & confidence in Almighty God and in
His Supreme Power.
4. Sword of the Spirit: Word of God sharper than any double-edged
sword. Quoting Scripture protects us from satan and blocks his attacks.
5. Girdle or Belt of Truth: Obeying, living and practicing the Truth
of the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ.
6. Shoes of the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace: By studying,
learning and communicating God's Word, we are prepared with the Gospel of
Peace.

up their case against you.
This includes those who are directly (physically intruding or trespassing)
or indirectly (those who know about the plan) involved in planning evil.
As with Joshua, God commands us to be strong and very courageous,
be careful to obey God's Law and meditate on them day and night.
God purposefully chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. |

Success for me is Godly and spiritual.
To be in a perfect and right relationship with the Lord my God, always
growing in wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His word and reaching the
world with the Gospel "Good News" proclaiming it with boldness.
I'm not interested in "worldly success" (pleasing people or media)! |

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS |
Supernatural gifts are given
to true believers, the members of the Body of Christ.
A different gift to each believer, in accordance with 1 Cor 12:4-11.
There are three main categories:
Revelation (Wisdom, Knowledge, Discernment), Power (Faith, Healing,
Miracles) & Vocal Gifts (Speaking in Tongues, Interpretation of tongues &
Prophecy).
I've experienced the gift of discernment in which I was able to hear what
was happening in the spiritual or supernatural realm.
A war or battle
between the forces of good and the forces of evil, between light and
darkness.
I've also had a prophetic dream in which I was in a large valley, sitting down, and there were very many bones and skulls all around me and I was
preparing to bury them (they were in my hands).
Fervent charity covers the multitude of sins.
As each believer receives a gift of the Spirit, minister to one another as
good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
We must be careful not to be deceived by false doctrines (teachings).
When we speak the truth in love, we will grow spiritually in every way and
be more like Christ.
We are given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
There are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers; for
perfecting and equipping the saints, for ministry work, thereby building up
the body of Christ.
God helps us in everything we do and the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every believer for the benefit of all.
The gifts are from the one and same spirit, distributing to every believer
according to His will.
We are encouraged to earnestly covet the best gifts.
Hate what is evil, love what is good. |

tattoos |
The Bible warns us against tattoos,
cuttings in the flesh (mutilations) and body piercing, which look repulsive
(revolting) and barbaric.
To make
cuttings in the flesh for the dead, and disfigure or put tattoo marks on the
body is a practice of the pagans (heathens) and is condemned in the Bible.
According to the Webster dictionary:
1) a heathen is an unconverted member
of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of the Bible.
2) an uncivilized or irreligious person.
This is a primitive practice of cave men in the stone age era. A type of the
mark of the beast (a permanent mark) which the devil's children will accept.
This will also demonstrate their permanent allegiance to the devil.
The mark of the beast
signifies allegiance to the beast and its image; and rebellion and
disobedience to God. You absolutely must reject this mark! In Rev
14:11, the phrase “torment rises forever and ever,” signifies
eternal nature of punishment for those who accept it (Read Tract - ’Hell and
Unquenchable
Fire!’). The exact nature of the mark is unknown. It may be a literal
permanent physical mark, in the form of a microchip implant, or barcode
tattooed into skin. In ancient Babylonian culture, slaves were identified by
a mark tattooed or branded on the face or the back of the hand. This ancient
practice may reveal what is yet to happen in the future! Or it may be a
figurative mark, such as an enforced observance of Sunday, originally a day
dedicated to the worship of the sun as a god.

seventh-day Sabbath, which is an identifying sign between God and His people

TEACHING |
Our teaching must be directly
from God's word, the Holy Bible.
We are always to check what the priest, minister, pastor, teacher, deacon,
overseer, or anyone else says, whether it is the true teaching from the
Bible.
Test the spirits, as there are many false prophets in the world, as
mentioned in scripture.
God's word teaches us to live holy lives, avoiding sin, evil and worldly
passions. |

One of the signs of the end of the age is that men will faint from terror,
apprehensive (fearful) of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly
bodies will be shaken.
It is a dreadful (terrifying) thing to fall into the hands of the living
God.
Indeed it is! |
Psa 91:5

TESTAMENT |
There are Biblical
references to the 'Testament' or 'Covenant.'
Christ is the mediator of a new covenant. The blood of goats and calves
could not take away sins.
God's Law requires that there be shedding of blood for the forgiveness of
sins and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Therefore Christ, who is divine, holy, blameless, pure, set apart from
sinners, came as the perfect sacrifice, to free us from the death penalty,
because the wages of sin is death and the punishment was for us, but Christ
bore all our sins on the cross and set us free from all our sins.

someone else; cheating in business by using false balances or overcharging,
etc.
Scripture instances include: Jacob stealing his father's blessing in: Gen

TIME |
On the Day of the Lord the earth will be
burned up.
During the time of the great tribulation, God is going to supernaturally
shorten the days at the time so that some living on earth will be saved,
otherwise no flesh would be saved.
Jesus said the Gospel will be preached in all the world.
The Bible foretells that signs in the heavens will be in the sun, moon and
stars.
The angel told Daniel to seal the book until the end and quickly said that
knowledge and travel would increase.
There will be great distress.
Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines, pestilence (disease) and earthquakes in various,
unexpected places with greater intensity and frequency.
The apostle John saw the river Euphrates dried up to prepare a way for the
kings of the East.
Babylon will be destroyed in a way similar to the two corrupt cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah.

be called evil and evil will be called good. |

We must be careful not to be taken captive by human traditions and
principles of this world.
This includes Christmas, Easter, Halloween and other pagan traditions.
We are not to conform ourselves to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of our mind. |

Col 2:8-9
Rom 12:2 |
TRANSFIGURATION
|
The
Transfiguration is mentioned in Scripture and refers to a dramatic change in
the appearance of Jesus Christ where He was on a high mountain and His face
shone and was bright as the sun and His clothes as the dazzling light. |
Matt 17:1
Mark 9:2
Luke 9:28 |
TREASURE |
Spiritual treasures are of
greatest value.
For example, wisdom, knowledge, understanding of God's word and His will for
our lives and growing spiritually. |
Prov 10:2
Prov 15:6
Prov 24:4
Lk 12:34
Col 2:2-3 |
TRIALS |
Crucial is perseverance
in prayer and trials, no matter the circumstances or feelings and emotions.
Those who have stood the test will receive the crown of life.
Testing of our faith develops perseverance.
The Lord rescues godly men from trials.
The Faithful Remnant - True Church of God will be supernaturally protected
during the time of the
tribulation (hour of trial refers to tribulation) as mentioned in:
Rev 3:10. |
Jas 1:2-3
Jas 1:12
2 Pet 2:9
Rev 3:10 |
TRIBULATION |
The
tribulation is 3 1/2 years.
I believe that the true, faithful Christians (the
faithful flock or small group of true believers) are taken to a place of safety,
before the tribulation, where
they are taken care of for 1,260 days, that is, time, times and half a time (approx 3 1/2 years - tribulation
period) as represented by the "woman" in
Rev 12:6, a
symbol of the True Church of God.
The Lukewarm Christians, (which comprise of a large percentage) I believe, will
go through the tribulation, to demonstrate to God the genuineness of their
faith, as
gold is tested by fire.
Those who refuse the mark of the beast will inherit eternal life.
See
The Great Multitude in White Robes: Rev 7:9-17.
The Lukewarm Christians who accept the mark, and the wicked who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior, (the
wicked also comprise of a large percentage), will accept the mark of the beast and God's wrath will be upon
them with seven plagues poured out and they will lose salvation forever.
They are tormented along with the beast and false prophet, where there is no
rest day and night.
Seven Bowls of God's Wrath:
1) Ugly, painful sores.
2) The sea turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing
in the sea died.
3) Rivers and springs of water became blood. The wicked will drink the blood
of saints and prophets.
4) Sun given power to scorch people with fire. They were burned by the
intense heat and they cursed the name of God who had control over these
plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
5) On the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness.
Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of
their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had
done.
6) On the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the
way for the kings from the East - Armageddon.
7) Flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe
earthquake. Every island fled away and mountains could not be found.
From the sky huge hailstones of about 100 pounds (45.36 kg) each fell upon men. And
they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so
terrible.
The antichrist will introduce the mark of the beast as part of the new
economic system and without this mark, no one will be able to buy or sell.
The exact time when this mark (quite possibly a 'microchip')
will be implemented is unknown.
What we do know is that prophetic events are
really speeding up now and it may be approx 5-10 years away. |

TRINITY |
The "trinity"
doctrine, that God is the triune God existing as three persons, but one
being, is
nowhere found in the Bible.
God is the Father, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit is
the Power of God. (Also called Comforter, Counselor, Helper and Teacher or
Advocate).
Jesus mentions in: Jn 10:30 &
Jn 14:10-17: "I and the Father are one," and means that God our Father and
His Son Jesus Christ are one in attributes, qualities and characteristics.
It does not mean that God and Jesus exist as one being physically.
Christ mentions that "my Father is greater than I" in: Jn 14:28.
When Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was addressing Himself to
God the Father in:
Matt 26:36-46. |
Jn 10:29-30
Jn 14:10-17; 28
Jn 14:15-26 |
TRIUMPH |
The Lord will triumph over
His enemies and they will be destroyed.
Christ disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of
them, triumphing over them by the cross.
God delivers the righteous from all their troubles. He is our helper and we
will look in triumph on our foes. |

TROUBLE |
The
Lord rescues and delivers the righteous from all trouble and it comes on
the wicked instead.
He who sows wickedness reaps trouble.
The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.

TRUE DISCIPLES |
There are true disciples of Christ and there
are believers.
Christ's true disciples: those called and chosen (elected) are loved and
honored by God only, and belong to Him (not the world)
and they live a life of self-sacrifice, which means, deny self, take up cross
and follow Christ.
God's children are
precious in His sight and God Bless His faithful remnant!
All True Disciples will be faithful to God, devoting their
entire lives to Him.
I devote my entire life to God and Jesus Christ, therefore
I will be a Lifelong True Disciple, passionately serving the Lord my God.
(Nothing and no one will distract me from my True Faith and Relationship
with God, who will always be number one in my life and first love).
We give thanks to God who fills us with all hope and peace.
Loving God means walking after His commandments and hating
evil.
Jesus has the greatest love by giving His life for us, His friends and God
loved us by sending His Son for the forgiveness of our sins.
By loving our Christian brothers and sisters with brotherly love all men
will know we are Christ's disciples.

TRUST |
Our trust is in Almighty God
and He who does the will of God lives forever.
According to Jeremiah 17, those who trust in the physical, e.g.
riches or man are cursed.
The things of this world are temporary and pass away and do not bring peace
or happiness. |
Jer 17:5
Prov 11:4
1 Cor 7:31
1 Tim 6:17
1 Jn 2:17 |
TRUTH |
We live by the truth and the
truth is found in God's Word.
We, who are true worshipers of God, worship our Father in spirit and in
truth.
Jesus is the truth and the life, and the only way to God the Father.
Those who are faithful to God, speak the truth and preach the Gospel
directly from God's Word.
We cannot deliberately sin once we have come to a knowledge of the truth.
The belt of truth is part of the Spiritual Armor of God.
The
word of truth is the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ.
We must obey, live and practice the truth of God’s word in our
day-to-day lives.

UNIVERSE |
Christ, who descended is
the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the
whole universe.

all things, and through whom he made the universe.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command.
We are to shine like stars in the universe. |

VENGEANCE |
Vengeance upon our enemies is mentioned in the Bible and belongs to the Lord
our God and is speedy.
God executes righteous judgment upon them and vengeance is
not just reserved for the Day of Judgment.
Our God never grows weary in executing vengeance - Isa
40:28.
We leave our enemies in God's hands; in the hands of our
King of kings and Lord of lords!
The righteous will be pleased when the Supreme God avenges
them as we read in the psalms, but we must never take revenge ourselves.
God is our Supreme Judge, vengeance is free and He gives the best sentence,
judging in favor of His children.
God will pay back trouble to those who trouble His children.
Luke 18:7-8.
Scripture examples are found in many Psalms. For
example:
Psalm
21:9;
Psalm 34:21;
Psalm 37:9-10,20,38; Psalm 58; Psalm 68:2; Psalm 94:1; Psalm 104:35; Psalm

VICTORY AND TRIUMPH |
Victory belongs to God's
children and we have that promise in God's Word.
God shows the world this truth with miraculous signs and wonders and He does
mighty things!
God's children overcome the world by our faith and we walk by faith, not by
sight.
We are more than conquerors!
Victory is in store for those who hold fast to the truth in God's word.
Satan's tactic is to discourage and intimidate, using people and schemes to
distract us along the way, especially when we are on a special mission
serving God, but we must be careful to always keep the victory! |

VIGILANCE, SOBERNESS,
WATCHFULNESS |
To ensure victory in our
Christian lives,
we must be vigilant, sober and watchful.
This means being alert, awake, careful and observant, because our adversary,
the devil and his agents sets traps for us along the way to tempt, distract,
influence and provoke into sin and divert our attention away from God.
We must be focused on God, (and remain focused) His Word, Prayer, Fasting,
Praise and Worship and doing His will. |

VISIONS AND DREAMS |
The Book of Joel and Acts
mentions that God will pour out His Spirit on His servants and all people,
in the last days.
Sons and daughters will prophesy, old men will dream dreams
and young men will see visions.
God gave me a vision at the beginning of my valleys (trials) that I would be
greatly blessed in the end, (and what kind of blessing I would receive) after
all the obstacles and hindrances would be cleared out of my way first, and of
course, every good and perfect gift and blessing comes from my Lord and
therefore I wait for Him.
He also gave me a prophetic dream of the valley of dry bones and a vision
that witchcraft would eventually cost the lives of many who planned evil against
me because they wouldn't back off and the survivors would receive sevenfold
punishments.
The famous valley of dry
bones:
EZEK 37:2
- He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the
floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
I believe people can be quite generous in terrifying circumstances and they
think that will defer God's punishment. |
Joel 2:28-32

WALLS OF JERICHO |
By faith the walls of
Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.

Josh 1-6

WARNING AGAINST APOSTASY |
The word 'apostasy' is not mentioned, instead
the word 'falling away' is used in the Bible and there are strong warnings.
Apostasy means to 'stand away from' the faith. In other words, to turn away
from the Gospel and stand opposed to the Living God.
Apostates sin deliberately, habitually, knowingly and defiantly.
It is dangerous for a believer to fall away, and once a believer turns away
from the faith it is not possible for him to return to God.

WEARY |
God gives strength to and
refreshes the weary.
Jesus will give rest to those who are weary and burdened. You will find rest
for your souls.
We are not to become weary in doing good, for at the appointed time we will
reap a harvest if we DO NOT give up.
Good news from a distant land is compared to cold water to a weary soul. |

WEATHER |
The Supreme God created the heavens and the
earth and He also controls the weather.
The Bible includes many references to droughts, earthquakes, famines,
floods, waves, thunder, lightning, rain and storms like hailstorms and wind
storms like tornadoes etc.
It is impossible to alert everyone regarding many weather disasters as they
happen quite unexpectedly, taking everyone by surprise.
For example, tornadoes can move in any direction, change direction, speed,
intensity very quickly and unexpectedly, strike at any time, day or night.
Example Scriptures:
God is in total control of the entire Universe at all times:
Psa 29:10; Psa 107:25,29; Prov 30:4;
Jer 10:13; Jer 14:22; Mk 4:39,41; Mt 8:26-27; Lk 8:23-25.
God has all Authority In heaven and on earth and displays His
Powerful Authority:
Ex 20:18; 1 Sam 12:18; Ezr 10:9;
Mt 27:54; Psa 55:8; Psa 97:4;
Mt 14:30.
God provides protection for His children,
in the midst of weather disasters, unless He tests us:
Gen 41:30-31; Gen 41:36;
Gen 45:11;
Deut 8:15; 1 Kings 17:1-16; Isa 25:4; Isa 58:11; Jer 2:6; Ezek 36:29-30;
Rom 8:35.
God sends thunder, earthquake and devouring fires:
Isa 29:6
Snow, cold, rain and frost:
Psa 78:47; Job 37:6
Thunder and lightning:
Job 37:3; Psa 18:12-14;
Psa 78:47-48; Psa 97:4; Jer 10:13
Scorching wind:
Gen 8:1-2; Ex 10:12-13,19; Ex 14:21; 1 Kings 18:45; 1 Kings 19:11; Psa 11:6;
Isa 28:2; Jer 4:12; Jer 10:13; Jer 13:24;
Jer 30:23; Jer 51:16; Ezek 19:12;
Ezek 38:22; Jonah 1:4; Jonah 4:8; Hab 1:11;
Jn 3:8; Jn 6:18; Rev 6:13.
God sends and withholds rain and floods:
Gen 2:5; Gen 7:4,7,12,17; Gen 8:2;
Exo 9:33-34; Exo 16:4; Levi 26:4;
Deut 11:11,14,17; Deut 28:12,24;
Deut 32:2; 1 Sam 12:17-18; Psalm 147:8; Zech 10:1; Nah 1:8; Mt 24:39;
James 5:17.
Withholding rain because of people's sins:
1 Kings 8:35-36; 1 Kings 17:1; Amos 4:7;
Zech 14:17-18.
Hailstones and bolts of lightning:
Josh 10:11; Psalm 18:12; Ezek 13:11,13;
Ezek 38:22; Rev 16:21.
To instill the fear of God:
1 Sam 12:17-18; Psa 83:15; Jer 5:24; Ezek 12:16; Amos 8:8; 9:5; Mt 27:54.
Punishment for the ungodly:
For example two corrupt cities of Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed with
burning sulfur:
Gen 19:24; Ex 9:18-19; 22-34; Deut 28:24; 1
King 8:35; Psa 11:6; Psa 32:10; Isa 28:17; Lk 17:29.
God responds to His people's pleas for deliverance from
destruction:
1. In drought and
famine:
1 Kings 8:35-36;
2 Chron 6:26-27; 2 Chron 20:9;
Psalm 33:19; Psalm 37:19; Zech 10:1; Jas 5:17-18.
2. In floods: Psa 32:6; Psa 66:5-6.
3. In storms: Lk 8:23-25.

work for God must be wholehearted, which means sincere and heartfelt.

WICKED |
The wicked are those who have rejected
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in their life, and therefore the wicked are
the enemies of God and the enemies of the righteous.
The wicked will not go unpunished and the foes of the righteous will be
condemned.
Wicked ash under our feet:
MAL 4:1-3 -
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.
Wicked into the fiery furnace:
MATT 13:41-43 -
The Son
of Man will send
out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes
sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine
like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears, let him hear.
MATT 13:49-50 - This is how it will be at the end of the age.
The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw
them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
PSA 37:10-11 -
Soon the wicked will disappear.
Though you look for them, they will be gone. The lowly will possess the land
and will live in peace and prosperity.
This is how it will be at the end of the age:
MATT 13:49-50 - This is how it will be at the end of the age.
The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw
them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
God executes judgment:
Flames of Fire:
ISA 66:15-16 - See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his
chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and
his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD
will execute judgment upon all men, and many will be those slain by the
LORD. |

WILL OF GOD |
In order to find the will of God, we read His
Word.
The will of God for His children is found in: Psalm 149.
This is the glory of all God's saints.
God's will for us is also wisdom, reading and meditating on His Word;
Trusting Him with all our hearts as He instructs, teaches, leads and guides
us on the right path. |

WISDOM
|
The Book of Proverbs includes many Scriptures
related to wisdom.
Godly wisdom is far above human wisdom.
Fear of God is the prerequisite to wisdom and fools despise wisdom.
The Bible exhorts us to embrace wisdom and warns us against rejecting it.
No matter how hard a mocker tries to find wisdom he cannot find it.
Wisdom is more precious (valuable) than wealth and jewellery because it will
prolong and save your life, whereas wealth and jewellery cannot.
Better to obtain wisdom than gold and understanding rather than silver.
I believe wisdom and prudence go together.
Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be wiser: teach a just man and
he will increase in learning.
The fool shall be servant to the wise.
God will frustrate and confuse those who are "wise" by human standards:
ISA 29:14 - Therefore once more I will astound
these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."
1 COR 1:19 - For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of
the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." |

WITCHCRAFT |
Witchcraft including black or white magic, astrology and other occult
practices in all its forms, for example, reading horoscopes, ouija board,
fortune telling, watching magic and
reading witch literature, etc, is condemned in God's word.
Isa 44:25 -who
foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who
overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,
Deut 18:10-12
-
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the
fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in
witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults
the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and
because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those
nations before you.
The Holy Bible tells us that witchcraft is evil,
demonic, prideful and idolatry, and that it has serious, even disastrous
consequences for those who practice it (e.g. calamity, destruction & even
death).
Seeking to control a person's life whether directly (through witchcraft) or
indirectly (via other means e.g. internet and other communication) is
condemned in the Bible.
God has given man a mind, spirit, soul and body and therefore a person's
life is in God's hands. God has also given man free moral
agency. We need sound judgment in order to make a sound decision, without
being under the influence of witchcraft, or any demonic spirits sent through
conjuration. No one is a robot for other humans to control.
Jesus said if anyone causes a believer to sin, it would be better for a
millstone to be hung around that person's neck and be thrown into the depths
of the sea.
Levi 26:21 - tells us that the afflictions of those who remain hostile
toward God and refuse to listen to Him are
multiplied seven times over.
Satan's devices are temptation, control, accusation, deception, manipulation,
intimidation, doubt and discouragement.
Practicing witchcraft may lead to demon possession &
it
has a backfiring effect.
("Backfire" means to bring a result opposite to that which
was planned or expected).
This means it has NO power over God's children, as we submit to God, resist
the devil and he flees from us.
The sowing
and reaping principle applies to witchcraft. If you seek the devil, you find
the devil.
Witchcraft is rampant today and anyone who practices anything occult-related
opposes God.

WITNESS |
One of the
signs of the end of the age is that the Gospel will be preached in the whole
world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
There will be supporting evidence that God's Word is true, with actual,
undeniable miracles, signs and wonders that God will display to all nations
of the earth, through my ministry. |

WORD |
The blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 28
apply today as they applied generations past and we can clearly see in our
days now, God's Word being fulfilled and who are the blessed and who are the
cursed.
Every Word of God is eternal (stands forever), pure, faultless, right and
true, and is a lamp to our feet and a light for our path.
The Bible is our spiritual food which provides health and nourishment.
Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word of God.
Blessed are they who not only study the Word of God, but who also put it
into practice.
The Word of God continues to increase and spread as it did in Herod's time.
We are to allow the Word of Christ to dwell in us richly.
The Word of God is Powerful, living and active, sharper than any
double-edged sword. |

WORDS OF JESUS |
Man shall not live by bread alone but by
every word of God.
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Jesus called Peter and Andrew His brother and said to follow Him and He will
make them fishers of men.
Peacemakers are blessed and will be called the children of God.
We shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven unless our righteousness shall
exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees.
Jesus said to love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them
that hate us, and pray for them which despitefully use us, and persecute us.
When we pray, we do not use repetitions, as the heathen (pagans) do, for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
For where our treasure is there will our heart be also.
We are not to worry about our life, what we will eat, drink or wear, because
our Heavenly Father takes care of our provisions.
The last words that Jesus spoke on the cross were: "Father, into your hands
I commend my Spirit." |

WORDS OF WARNING |
In the last days perilous times will
come. We are given a description of what the world will be like and what we
are commanded to do in:
2 Tim 3:1-5.
The Prophet Jehu went to see king Jehoshaphat and explained to him why the
wrath of the Lord was upon him and it was because he helped the wicked and
loved those who hate the Lord.
Paul told the Galatians that the people who preached a different Gospel to
them than the one which Paul had preached should be accursed.
We are not to believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.
This is how we recognize the Spirit of God.
We are called to live in the love of God the Father and the care of Jesus
Christ, exhorting us to earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered to the saints, for there are godless men who slipped in secretly,
who changed the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny
Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
God destroyed the people whom He saved out of the land of Egypt because they
still did not believe.
We are not to join forces with unbelievers,
because believers and unbelievers have nothing in common. Light and
darkness, right and wrong, righteousness and unrighteousness do not agree
with each other. Therefore we must not fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.
God will be our Father and we will be His sons and daughters, when we
separate ourselves from unbelievers and are unpolluted.
Whoever sins (transgresses) and does not abide in the doctrine (teaching) of
Christ, does not have God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, has
both the Father and the Son. We are not to receive anyone in the home, who
does not have the true doctrine, because he who welcomes him is partaker of
his evil deeds.
Whoever follows Jesus, must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow
Him. |

Gal 1:6-9
1 John 4:1-2
Jude 1:1-5
2 Cor 6:14-18

Eph 5:11-13 |
WORK |
We have encouragement in God's Word, that
we must endure and persevere, so that when we have done the will of God, we
will receive what He has promised. |
Heb 10:34-35 |
WORKS OF MOTIVATION |
We are called to do the
works of God.
We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to
do good works which God has already prepared in advance for us to do and
He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion
until the Day of Christ.
God has chosen us for a life of good works and He will provide us with
everything we need to serve Him, according to: 2 Cor 9:6-15.
Remember: God will provide us with everything we need to abound in
every good work.
The more good seeds we sow, the more we will reap a good harvest.
Sow generously = reap generously.
Sow sparingly = reap sparingly.
I may sow the seeds and water the plant, but God is the one who makes the
plant
grow, therefore God will reward me for my work in serving Him. |

WORLD |
Firstly, I love God with all
my heart, mind, soul and strength and then I love the remnant
of God, those who are faithful to God and live by His commands, a life of
purity, holiness, godliness and abstinence in all aspects.
A life that is on the complete opposite end of the scale to this world.
The faithful remnant are sanctified, set apart and made holy to God.
I use a filtered Christian ISP online.
Lastly, I'm not a friend of or with the world and I do not love the world.
I avoid evil company and all kinds of evil including clubs, drugs, smoking, alcohol, greed, debauchery, slander,
witchcraft, impurity, filthy language, idolatry and
immorality.
Online and offline, I don't listen to
the radio or watch tv at all and I pay no attention to advertising and chuck
out all world junk, including postal junk such as magazines and newspapers
without even reading.
(It is pollution for the mind!).
Also, there are people who need to clean out their own backyards first.
The world and everything in it is passing away, but He who does the will of
God lives forever.
Do not conform yourselves to the pattern of this world but be transformed by
the renewing of your minds. |

WRATH |
God's wrath is
expressed every day.
The Book of Colossians mentions that the wrath of God is coming because of
the following sins: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and
greed, which is idolatry.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from
death.
Disaster multiplied sevenfold for those who continue to rebel against God.
Warning: This includes anyone who interferes in God's work. The wrath
of God will be upon those who continue to send useless interviews, junk
mail, newspapers, magazines, etc in my letter box despite knowing that I
have an internet ministry with warnings on my website and a NO JUNK MAIL
sticker! (as this would constitute interference).
Junk mail gets ripped to shreds and thrown out automatically without being
