America Founded By People of Faith For People of Faith...Faith Under Fire...What Shall the Believers Do?......deno.......share freely.

The Lord Jesus Christ has already given us his answer and told us what we are to do when our faith (THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST THE SAVING TRUTH) is under fire. Read Below Acts 4:8-33 King James Version (KJV)

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Christ Most Important Words......deno.....share freely.

.........Of all that Jesus said, THESE WORDS are His most important to us all. Without knowing and believing this foundational TRUTH, the rest does not even matter...Who Jesus is, is the first and most important truth to Know and Believe.....Read Below.

****Christ Words in John 8:21-25....Revised Standard Version (RSV)
    Jesus tells the Jews and all the world His Highest and Most Important Words in these verses. Of all Jesus said, These words rank His most important sermon and message to all of us, even to all the world.
21 Again Jesus said to them, “I go away (back to heaven), and you will seek me and die in your sins (unsaved); where I am going, you cannot come (if you do not believe these words Jesus said, they would die in their sins unsaved, unpardoned, and unforgiven.”)
22 Then said the Jews, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23 He said to them, “You are from below, I AM FROM ABOVE (Heaven itself); you are of this world, I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD.
24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT I AM HE (The Christ, the Son of God).”
25 They said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Even what I have told you from the beginning.
........Then some time later Jesus ask his twelve disciples, Who do you believe and say that I Am ?....And Peter answered, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. After hearing this Jesus said to Peter, Blessed are you Peter, for nothing of this world made this known to you, My Father in heaven opened your eyes to know who I really am.
....... Then even later John the disciple remembering the words of Jesus wrote....1 John 5:1-5....Revised Standard Version (RSV)
Faith Conquers the World
.....1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God ( born of God means is saved, is justified, is a new creature in the spirit of our being), is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent (the Father) loves the child (The Son-the children). 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments (Commandment...You shall love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law is summed up in that One Commandment obeyed). 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whoever is born of God overcomes the world (Saved); and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith, our believing. (Eph 2:8-10...For by grace you are saved THRU FAITH (Thru what you believe) and that not of yourselves, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, not of works lest any man should boast). Paul said we are saved and justified by faith). 5 Who is he that overcomes the world but he who BELIEVES (Believes what????) Believes THAT JESUS IS THE SON of GOD.
Friends you and I who really believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God BY WHOM GOD MADE THE WORLDS, this truth we know and this truth that we believe gives value to all of Jesus Christ WORDS and SACRIFICE. Jesus Is the Lord from Heaven.
    Jesus was not an ordinary man. He was the Christ, the Son of Almighty God by whom God CREATED ALL THINGS BY. In Christ, Immanuel which means God with us had become a man.....That's the BIG DIFFERENCE between Jesus and all the other self appointed so call prophets....Jesus who in the Spirit is Creator ranks FAR FAR FAR ABOVE ALL.....Jesus is Lord......deno....share freely.

Reasons To Hope to the End.......deno.....share freely

       

       Church, God has always had a remnant and God has always prepared for them a place no matter the worlds condition, whether its a needed Ark, or a Name that is a STRONG TOWER, or whether they need an Upper room for a passover meal celebration, or whether they need a CITY or a NATION...Remember what Jesus said to Paul ? Jesus said to Paul in a certain CITY,. He said, Fear not Paul, keep preaching, no one shall hurt you here for I have much people who belong to Me in this city.
       Persecution comes with the calling but in Numbers there is strength and Protection as long as we keep on the Whole Armor of God and STAY STRONG IN FAITH and FULL OF SALT. We also must keep the weeds down and the saints numbers the moral major faith majority.
       In America if we Christians would stop being double minded, luke warm, double standard christians and quit giving such great place to the devil by compromises after compromise, we could cast out and reverse a whole lot of  this Anti Christ Satanic activity. Many Christians in a town or city or nation in overwhelming numbers can run the city or the nation and keep persecution down in those places and run out most antiChrist activity..
       We must remember this. There is no dispensation where our Lords Name, the Name of Jesus Christ cannot bind up Satan or cast out demons. Jesus' Name that is above every name, it never loses its power and authority (NEVER). We just must not lose our faith in our Lords FAR ABOVE ALL Great Name of Gods Power and Authority placed in that Great Far Above All Name (See Mathew 28:18)..
         As with all the churches problems. God nor Gods power is not the problem. Its the churches blurry wobbling stand and our DOUBT and UNBELIEF that makes us to sink.
         Let us rise again in renewed faith in the faith of Jesus Christ....Like Jesus said, But when I return, will I find real bible faith on the earth??? And in another place Jesus prayed what we to must pray, He prayed that Peters faith would NOT FAIL. Its up to us Church. We need BELIEVING BELIEVERS....Like Paul said, Hope to the end.
         When Elijah's helper was fearing because of the the number he saw of the army that chased them, Elijah prayed, OPEN HIS EYES LORD....God opened Elijah's helpers eyes and what he saw filled him with confidence of VICTORY over their enemies. Paul prayed that we (THE CHURCH) would have our eyes opened to the EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF GODS POWER THAT HE HAS GIVEN USWARD WHO BELIEVE..
         In closing we write this. Jesus said, to us THE CHURCH...I give you power to TREAD on all serpents, and on all scorpions, and over ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL THE POWER OF SATAN..This great power and authority over the devil that Jesus gave us Jesus never takes back from His Church (The need for that power is TO GREAT). Let us not let the devil seduce this truth out of us and let us not let the devil trick us to lay the Armor and the power Jesus gave us down.......deno.....share freely.

In Christ Jesus We Are All Members of Christ......deno.....share freely.

......Being the Body Of Christ is something unique and very special in heaven and on earth. VERY SPECIAL. Being members of the Body of Christ we all should be highly happy about and in a good way very proud to be a part of.
.......Being a member of Christ flesh and bone Body is a place of exceeding high honor and of exalted positioning. No being and no created creature either in heaven or on earth can become more attached or connected to or more One with the Lord of glory above being One Spirit with him as Paul said we are who are In Christ Jesus, and as being His Body, His Flesh and Bone the very fulness of Him that fills all with Himself.
.....Jesus said, If you have done it unto the least of these that belong to Me, you have done it unto Me. He said that because in His Heart and in the greatness of His love for us, we the Body of Christ are a part of the one that said ME.
.......I know to say this will not be accepted by all, but someone was told one day by the Lord in a whisper, "You the church, are just as much a part of ME as I am of Myself". The Oneness we are with Jesus by the greatness of Gods love is extreme when seen thru the eyes of the love of God and His Revealing Spirit of Truth.
.......Every time that Jesus sees HIS BODY, whether it be his hands, his feet, his shoulders, his legs HE SEES US...THE CHURCH....THE ENGRAFTED MEMBERS OF HIS BODY. THE LOVE IS THAT GREAT AND THAT INTIMATE..
....... In the love revealed to us in the New Covenant, Jesus did not want us to be just known as His People all though that is a great name to have, but MUCH MORE intimate than that Jesus wanted HIS CHURCH to be. He wanted us be a real part of HIm, even of His Name and of His Life as in marriage form, as in Father to Son seed, as in one looking into the mirror at the fulness of Himself. (One-One-One Persons Body Made up of MANY MEMBERS and that Body is the Body of Jesus Christ. So to accomplish this redemption glorious ONENESS, Jesus made us  ONE SPIRIT with His (1 Corinth 6:17) and He made us His Body, the very fulness of Him that fills us all In Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23)....Go now and read your bible in Ephesians 5:28-32 of the great mystery concerning Christ and the church.
.......Friend, Church, Body of Christ YOU ARE GREATLY LOVED and CHERISHED and One with Christ in ALL THINGS.
.......Note....The Cross of Christ the Son of God by no means is to be interpreted that God did not love His Son Jesus (God greatly loved Jesus even as He loves Himself). But rather the Cross of Christ means that God and Jesus Greatly Love Us, even as they love themselves as they have always preached for you and I to do, To LOVE ONE ANOTHER...Love thy neighbor as a THYSELF....The world gets so much uglier and so much more a terrible place to live in the less and less we disobey that great love thy neighbor as thyself commandment...The breaking of this commandment so greatly in the last days is the root cause of God bringing the present world to its end....The new heaven and the new world to come will be filled only with the love of God New Creatures In Christ Jesus....Even so, Come Lord Jesus......deno....share freely.
