This is one of the most significant things, I think, about the end time and the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In order to appreciate this we need to look at a couple of sets of scriptures.

Cheerfulness: the scriptures have a lot to say about cheerfulness and when we ought to be cheerful.
The significance of “The Promise Of The Father” and the use of the definite article.
So Many Christians No Longer Speak In Tongues
So Let The Word Of God Speak
That is called THE promise. Think about this there is only ONE promise that our heavenly Father makes that the King James Bible calls THE promise

This is a very good question. The Old Testament tells us very clearly where God placed the Old Testament Scriptures for safekeeping and preservation. Continue reading
How can it be Easter again?
Apart from all the interesting discussions about the Jewish Passover feast and the Easter holiday that Pontius Pilate was talking about, about which Sabbath day was mentioned as Jesus died on the cross. I mean it was it the normal Saturday night Sabbath or was it the special Passover lamb Sabbath? What time of the day did the Sabbath start from? All these sorts of questions are constantly arising but the most wonderful thing about Easter is to remember the Passover lamb, indeed our Passover lamb.
[KJV] [1 Corinthians 5:7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
I’m always so grateful when I consider that the Lord Jesus Christ came and became my Passover lamb and was sacrificed for me so that I could escape entirely justified judgement of the wrath of God that lay in store for me.
Look at verse eight:
[KJV] [1 Corinthians 5:8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
I want to keep this feast that is highlighted in this Easter with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I want to be sincere in my love of God in my love of the brethren and I want to walk in faith in obedience to the truth as I know it to be.
I want to be as holy as it is possible to be. I want to be the type of person who has a soft conscience towards God. If I sin, I want to know about it in no uncertain terms. I want to truly repent and in simple faith ask my heavenly Father for forgiveness in the name of his son the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want a practical experience of this wonderful King James Bible word “charity.” I want to love my fellow Christians and particularly those that I remember the table of the Lord with. I want to love my enemies and those that have deliberately hurt me. I want to be an experimental Christian. I want to live the life and experience the presence of the Lord with me and in me 24/7/360.
To me the Bible is the word of God, no question. I read the King James Bible I believe that it is the word of God in English. I still remember the dismay that I felt when I brought my first modern translation of the Bible and started to read all footnotes. As soon as I learnt about all missing verses I reverted back to reading the King James Bible.
I enjoy wonderful spiritual experiences but all those experiences are subject to the written word of God. I’m looking forward to this Easter in this year. We need the presence of God in our lives more than ever. We need to know his presence, to know the one who has redeemed us, to know that we are forgiven and purified by the blood of the Lamb. The broken bread that we eat at the LORD’S TABLE speaks to me of two things:
1. The bread is broken and was once whole and so we are all members one of another and members indeed of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. The bread is an emblem representing the body of Christ. Christ, our Jesus, lived a life that totally pleased our Father. Because our conscience has been cleaned we are able to serve our Father in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Easter will be a time for me to meditate and worship the Lord and to make certain that I have no bitterness or unforgiveness towards anybody. I will come through this time and be wonderfully blessed and refreshed in the Lord Jesus.
Let’s see this Lamb of God:
[KJV] [John 1:36] And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
I hope that you will be stirred to worship, bow down and fully follow in the footsteps of our great Master and that you will see Jesus, himself for Christ, crowned with glory and honour, sitting on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
God bless you all and use this time for a spiritual checkup using the living word of God has your rule and measure.
Earlier this week one of the young people, my daughter, came to me wanting to do something special for some of the children who came to our main services. These children are between upper primary level and first year in high school. Halloween was coming up and she wanted to do something with them concerning dressing up for Halloween.
To me Halloween is an American festival. I have never had much experience with it but I was not overenthusiastic about a theme of evil spirits and dead ghosts. I had read somewhere that Halloween had been superimposed upon a special day in history for us Christians. I’m the sort of person who remembers Christmas and Easter. These are the two main times in which we use the church and its settings to celebrate our remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection. These are also an opportunity to reach out into our community with the message of the gospel.
I soon found out that 31 October is the day when Martin Luther pinned up his 39 articles that brought public attention to the need for change substantiated by the truth of the Word of God and produced the movement among church is that we now call The Reformation.
In an older church calendar this was called All Saints Day and the evening to this day was called All Hallows Day. These were organised in the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church and later the Church of England.
The 489th Reformation Day (October 31st) is upon us! This was the date when Luther nailed the 95 Thesis to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. The symbol of Luther is the Luther Rose.
So this is a very important day for us to remember. It marks the beginning of the end of the dark ages for the church. The organised Christian churches had lost their way and had forgotten the teachings of the Word of God. This was the start of a wake-up call that is called The Reformation. People were alerted to 3 major teachings from the Word of God.
1. Justification by faith alone
2. The priesthood of all believers and not just a selected few
3. That there was no single pontiff over all of the Church of God before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
These important doctrines changed the Christian Church and I hope that they changed the church for ever. It is not my intention in this blog to expand upon these three great Christian doctrines but to alert you to the fact that the church once lost its way and we should pray that it never does again.
Will the Lord Jesus Christ heal our bodies? This is a question that asked a lot of times. We need to know what the Word of God says before we look at peoples’ experiences.
The King James Bible has many scriptures that will support that Jesus Christ does heal bodies. Continue reading
