SHOW ME YOUR OPEN GRAVE
TO PROVE YOUR LEADER CAN SAVE
You from hell
So in heaven you can dwell
Don’t gamble with eternity
Sliding into hell ignorantly
Majority into it have fell
Only Christ’s Blood can save you from hell
Religion is in vain
In it there is no gain
It was created by a murderer called Cain
In orange and white as priests they feign
Swallowing a camel, at a gnat they strain
Jesus rose again, in the Bible it is spoken
The grave of Jesus alone is open
Believing a fact shouldn’t be so hard
Jesus alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Christianity is not a concept
A bunch of books, teaching or conquest
It is an eternal relationship
With God in eternal fellowship
God is our Father
And our Creator
Who sent us Jesus
Because He so loved us
To rescue us
From the world’s mess
Jesus rose from the dead
Just like He said
He offered His flesh
To rescue us from this mess
His Spirit allways existed
To God the Father entrusted
Son of God forever trusted
The angel descended like lightning
There was an earthquake so frightening
The Roman soldiers were running
In fear Rome was screaming
Ceasar fell
Jesus crushed the gates of hell
The angel rolled away the stone
Jesus rose alive for evermore
For 2000 years History is preserved
The grave remains open, skeptics discovered!
His Word is True
He will be with you
Never forsake you
What He promised He will do
To the chosen few
Of the Gentiles and the Jews
Behold He makes all things new
He will return as the morning dew
His coming the universe will view
He sacrificed His Body
To provide salvation for everybody
Who believes in Christ’s finished work
Repents, is Baptized into new birth
Now a child of God with new worth
Unto Him that washed us by His Blood
His Love overflowing like a flood
And His Spirit raised us from the dead
To be His Royal church
Masterpieces by His Hand touched!
See the demons and rats run
At the thundering voice of God’s Son
Evil shall be uprooted from the earth
Jesus came down to give us new birth
We are not natural but supernatural!
Children of God with life eternal
No fiction heavenly joy is real

1. History, Archaeology, Qur’an, Hindu Vedas & Science Confirm Biblical Truths.
2. Bible records public historical events with 1,000s of witnesses.
3. 3,000+ years old prophesies of the Bible are being fulfilled today.
4. Jesus God came as man to save the human race fulfilling 1,000s of prophesies in minute detail.
5. Israel stands today as fulfillment of Biblical prophesy. Israel’s ocean of enemies cannot wipe out this small speck on world map called Israel, because Jesus Christ, the Star of David fights for them.
6. God came down on Mount Sinai openly and publicly in front of over 1,000,000 people and wrote the ten commandments.
7. Nobody could capture Jesus until He said take me, and nobody could kill Jesus until He said Father take my Spirit. The centurion who crucified Jesus said truly this was the Son of God. Stop arguing, ask the centurion why?!
8. Jesus appeared to more than 500 people alive in the flesh after His resurrection.
9. Jesus ascended up to heaven from the mount in front of 70 people.
10. Millions from nations worldwide were present when the Holy Spirit the Comforter promised by Jesus came down on 120 people in tongues of fire.
11. Seventy five (75) prominent men had dinner with God: Exodus 24:9-13 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did have dinner in his presence.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
12. In all these evidences people saw and heard and documented it.
13. Jesus said “I will send you another Comforter who will abide with you forever, and when I ascend up into heaven I will send Him from the Father”. Jesus ascended up to heaven around AD 33 and sent the Holy Spirit immediately. The Holy Spirit abides forever because He is God with no beginning or end. Muhammad is not the one Jesus referred to because he was born as a man, created Allah several hundred years later, did not abide forever, was not a comforter, and died of food poisoning. The Holy Spirit is God Almighty who lives forever, but Muhammad is mortal man, who lies dead in a tomb.
14. This Bible timeline really is amazing. It covers over 6,000 years of Bible and World history, which you can easily see together. It includes over 1,000 historical references to enhance your everyday study.
In sharp contrast to the Bible, Islam has five Anamolies: A Religion (shell) without Relationship (fruit):
1. Islam a religion created in a cave to promote worship of an idol, a stone, which originates from a moon god,
2. Islam that encourages all sins banned by society came 650 years after Jesus the holy sinless one came,
3. Islam a religion the practises of which would put people in death row in modern society,
4. Islam came 4,650 years after the creation of man by Almighty God. Do you think God had no interaction with His creation for 4,650 years and suddenly decided to talk? In the Holy Bible, He has been speaking since day 1 and year 0 and continues to speak today.
5. Islam was created by 1 man in private whereas the Bible was written and documented by millions of witnesses who saw and heard the God of the Holy Bible. The Bible was documented by over 1,000,000 people who witnessed God Jehovah not Allah descend publicly on Mount Sinai in Arabia.
The Biblical chapters are 6,000 years old and were written by 40 authors. Bible provides millions of direct witnesses of God in public. Islam provides 1 in private.
The Bible takes us back to sequential history starting from 6,000 years back when man was created. Each book in the Bible is historical and tied to a historical date.
Therefore the Bible is the oldest book in history and most credible because the Bible is even witnessed in Qur’an as Jesus being the only one who did not sin and even Qur’an says Jesus is the Word of God, Spirit of God, Amighty God, and Messiah.
THE spirit that gave the Qur’an to Muhammed could not fail to acknowledge that Jesus is Almighty God! Therefore Jesus rose again but Muhammad didn’t! I have more faith in an Author Jesus Christ who rose again from the dead, rather than one who still lies dead in a cold monument.
Muhammad claims to have received messages from Gabriel but the experience he had with Gabriel casts serious DOUBT on the credibility of that claim. Two questions arise from Muhammad’s encounter with Gabriel. Why did a visitation with a messenger from God leave Muhammad in a state of panic and complete fear? Why would a messenger from God physically assault Muhammad? Why did Muhammad try to commit suicide after His encounter with Gabriel. Thus Gabriel who appeared to Muhammed does not appear to be the the Divine Messenger Angel Gabriel of the Bible who took away fear, gave Divine promises of encouragement and peace and calm to Mary, Zecharias and Daniel. The Angel Gabriel of the Bible gave the saints of the Bible a message of peace and love contrary to the message of hate and instruction to kill Christians and Jews that was given to Muhammed. Therefore we can conclude that the Angel Gabriel of the Bible from God is opposite in character and identity to the Gabriel who appeared to Muhammad. Lucifer was once a cherub but through disobedience and pride was cast down and has been a deceiver, assaulter and murderer ever since since he tries to impersonate even the Angel of light Gabriel: The one who pretended to be Gabriel that met Mohammed in a cave told him Jesus “is not” the Son of God; Is not the true Angel Gabriel the one that told Mary “JESUS is the Son of God”?
ISLAM: Only Muslims may enter Paradise. Muslims who obey Islamic laws and do more deeds than bad deeds for other Muslims or are killed while fighting in the cause of Allah will enter Paradise.
*CHRISTIANITY: Every person who accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will enter Heaven.*
ISLAM: Allah does not love Jews and Christians; they are hell-bound friends of Satan.
*CHRISTIANITY: God loves all people, including Muslims, Jews and Christians.*
ISLAM: Allah and God are one and the same .
*CHRISTIANITY: Allah and God cannot possibly be one and the same because Allah loves only Muslims while God loves all people.*
ISLAM: Allah is unknowable.
*CHRISTIANITY: God is personal.*
ISLAM: Allah commands Muslims to fight until all people profess Islam as their faith (the central heart of Qur’an and Hadith; 8:39, 9:5, 9:29, hundred more)
*CHRISTIANITY: God commands all people to love Him and love one another___even their enemies.*
ISLAM: When necessary to further islam’s quest for world domination, Islam also permits lying, breaking treaties, and pretending not to be a Muslim. Islam also permits lying for the sake of marital harmony.
*CHRISTIANITY: God forbids lying. There will be no liers in Heaven.*
ISLAM: Biblical prophets were Muslims, including Abraham, Noah, Moses and Jesus. Adam was a Muslim.
*CHRISTIANITY: No Biblical prophets were Muslim. Most were Hebrews: Not Arabs.*
ISLAM: The original Bible foretold the coming of Mohammed as the last and greatest of all Biblical prophets, Jews corrupted the Bible by removing all such prophesies.
*CHRISTIANITY: Muhammad was never mentioned in the Bible, ever.*
ISLAM: The original Bible did not mention that God has a son, that Jesus was crucified or that Jesus was raised from the dead. Christians corrupted the Bible by adding such stories.
*CHRISTIANITY: God would never permit mere men to change his words. No man is more powerful than God. The original Bible and today’s Bible revealed that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son Jesus into the world to condemn the World, but that World might be saved through Him. Jesus died for the sins of everyone who believes in him and accepts him as Saviour and Lord. Today’s Bible is the same as the original.*
ISLAM: Fleshly rewards await those who enter Paradise; fruit, wine, and virgins created for the eternal pleasure of Muslims men. Paradise is all about satisfying the senses and ambitions of earthly bodies. “Haha..Lol! Keep dreaming Mohammad”

There is no sickness or death. There is no deceit. There are no more tears. Believers will share their happiness and love with one another and with God. There will be no marriage or sexual relation in Heaven. “Hmm the home of eternal bliss”*
ISLAM: Jews are descendants of apes and pigs. It is a sacred duty of Muslims to convert, enslave or murder every one of them.
(If to say all the prophets of Israel were in existence, Muslims could be dictated to kill them irrationally) fake religion.
*CHRISTIANITY: The Jews are God’s chosen people. God will never allow them to be completely destroyed. Their past and present exists of their descendants is for the blessing of mankind.*
ISLAM: Allah said, “Fight until there is no more tumult or oppression and there is faith in Allah altogether and everywhere.”
*CHRISTIANITY: JESUS CHRIST said, “The greatest commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself.”
But we wrestle not on flesh and blood, but on [Spiritual warefare] against the host of Satanic hidden forces of darkness of this World causing killing, hatred,stealing, conflict, idolatry, rape, adultery*

Can We Trust the Bible? https://www.livingwaters.com/can-we-trust-the-bible/
There is no other book in any of the world’s religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific.
Hank Hanegraaff said, “Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence.”
The Bible is supernatural in origin. Therefore take heed to its promise of Heaven and warning of Hell. Let’s see if you qualify to enter Heaven: Have you ever lied (even once – fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything – the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, “Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart.” Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said “Yes” to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments.
That’s how God sees you. Nothing is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you to be forgiven. He sent His Son to take your punishment: “God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death: “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Pray something like this: “Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (name them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read (see John 14:21). God will never let you down.
Question: If Jesus is God how can he favor himself?
Answer: Jesus (Son of God) prayed to His Father God during His time on earth. He said He will send the Holy Spirit to inhabit us. So God the Father who sent His Son into the world was pleased that His Son God manifest in flesh lived a sinless holy life although he was faced with the same temptations we face everyday. So after Christ’s flesh died on the cross, God the Father raised Christ’s body because Jesus The Son of God was highly favored by God the Father for completing the perfect atonement for our sins by offering Himself on the cross. The Bible was written by 40 authors over 1,800 years starting from 3,500 years back who received this message from God vs Quran written also by a person in 650 AD almost 2,000 years after the Bible was handed to humans by God. The Bible’s every page and chapter has history and archeological authentication to support that it is a fact proven and credible. Jesus Christ is the only one who said I am.the way the truth and the life and no one cometh to the Father but by me. I have more faith in God who came down as man to reveal Himself to His children, one we can call Father.
1. Jesus Christ said God is our Father and we are His children, but Muhammad implied God is our master and we are His slaves.
2. Jesus Christ rose from the grave and established Himself as God and His open tomb is here today making history, while Muhammad’s remains are kept for all to visit
3. Jesus taught us to love and forgive, whereas Islamisation is being used to kill non muslims (Ex: ISIS, Sudan, Pakistan, etc.). Exceptions: moderate Arabs are not doing this in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Jordan, etc., and are fighting as US allies to eradicate ISIS
JESUS DIED TO SET US FREE
Jesus, the light of the earth
Saved us by His Divine birth
The Way, Door, Life and Truth
Tree of Life, everlasting Fruit
He has no beginning, the Word
By which He created the worlds
Everything that moves and breathes
Rocks and sand and galaxies
He created a perfect universe
In perfect order everywhere
Until pride entered into cherub Lucifer
Who attacking God got burnt with fire
Jealousy brought satan
To Garden of Eden
At the forbidden tree
Man was lost eternally
The first Adam fell
Ringing the death bell
For sin’s wages is death
We were lost till Christ’s Birth
Down from heaven He came
Not for earthly fame
But to suffer cruel shame
O Blessed be His Name
They nailed His body to a tree
From sin and death to set us free
His own blood gave us eternal life
For Father and sons to be reconciled
He is coming soon as King of Kings
Worship Him all you earthly beings
Kneel before Him all ye gods
Jesus alone is the Living God!
GOD IS OUR FATHER!
How wonderful to have a son<->Father relationship with God. This truly indicates God (Jehovah) is our true creator for He made us in His image and He is our Loving Father.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Jesus taught us to pray:
M’t:6:9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Joh:20:17: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Read the article in the link below “Islam has no father” for documentation.

http://www.thespiritofislam.com/god-allah/48-the-difference-between-allah-of-the-muslims-and-god-of-the-christians-in-their-godhead.html
In Islam the human relationship with God is that of a slave and his master! “This is the reason Muhammad in fear attempted suicide as the spirit of slavery and was speaking to him”.
The Bible says “God has not given us a spirit of slavery to fear but the Spirit of Power and of Love and of a Sound Mind calling God Abba Father” Rom 8
POEM THAT JESUS IS ALMIGHTY GOD
Who is the one favored by God?
The true Messiah Lord of Lords!
One who lies in the grave?
Or He who did rise from the grave?
All mankind to save!
Suppress not the Truth but believe
So Eternal Life through Him you’ll receive
The one who made the sun and moon
Declared He is coming soon
Your good works are at best rags
Lay at the cross your sinful bags
Worship Him all ye things
Jesus alone is the King of Kings
Alpha Omega Beginning and the End
Almighty God Jesus your Friend!
HE DIED TO SET ME FREE
ROSE AGAIN TO LIVE ETERNALLY
Muslims focus on His death
Forgetting Jesus is the lifegiving breath
” Destroy this Temple”, Jesus said
“And I will raise it from the dead”
The Temple He spake of was His Body
He offered in sacrifice for everybody
His flesh was dead for you, momentarily
But His Eternal Spirit is allways alive eternally
If you bury a lie, it will rot.
If you bury the truth, it will rise.
That is why the grave could not hold JESUS.
Happy Resurrection day!
O sinner, can’t you see
Hell is real even if you don’t believe!
Only the Blood of Jesus can set you free
Other sacrifices you offer
Will not matter
Cry to your Father
He will give you Living Water!
Mary
At the cemetery
Drowning in worry
“Can anybody
Tell me
Where they kept His body?”
She cried to somebody!
Jesus said, “Mary”
Mary said, “Rabboni”
“Touch me not Mary
I ascend to my Father
But tell my brothers
I am alive
Do not cry”
Jesus said
He is the Living Bread
Come to Him all you dead
With Christ’s Life you will be fed!
Unto heaven’s pearly gates you’ll be led
The Heavenly Bridegroom you will Wed
Join God’s Family
The BLESSED Trinity
Be washed by Christ’s Blood in all purity
Receive the Holy Spirit your surety
That there awaits you a greater Glory
At God’s throne surrounded by a glassy sea
THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD ALMIGHTY WHO LIVES FOREVER AND HAS NO BEGINNING OR END IS THE BLESSED COMFORTER, NOT MUHAMMED, A MORTAL MAN
Jesus said “I will send you another Comforter who will abide with you forever and when I ascend up into heaveen I will send Him from the Father”. Jesus ascended to heaven around AD 33 and sent the Holy Spirit immediately. Also, the Holy Spirit abides forever because He is God. Muhammad is not the one Jesus referred to because he was born as a man several hundred years later, did not abide forever, was not a comforter, and died of food poisoning. The Holy Spirit is God, Muhammad is mortal man, who lies dead in a tomb.
My religious friends told me Jesus never claimed to be Almighty God. But in Revelation 1:8 Jesus did. Jesus said: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (Re:1:8)”. Further, Jesus Christ’s closest disciple who was the only apostle who followed Jesus Christ to the cross stated: “1Jo:5:20: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life”. Then they told me, man cannot become God. So I showed them John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus was already God when He came in the flesh. The reason the Bible is credible and supercedes man’s opinion is because every page in this Holy Book including the arrival of the Blessed Comforter can be tied to a historical date! Therefore it is true history and not fiction. It is the inspired Word of God and the oldest book in History!
I can do all things through Jesus Christ (Almighty God) Who strengthens me!
Do not be alarmed, the enemy will be disarmed.
Don’t look down or look around, look up and stand your ground!
The darker the night, the brighter the light
Don’t whine, the sun (Son) will shine
The devil is very clever, but in Jesus, we have the power
Demons may bruise our feet, but we will crush their teeth
Silly bullies, please hearken! Christianity cannot be threatened!!
God is with us He is our Rock!
Don’t lose your speech with your empty talk
Confiscating the speeches will not stop the preachers.
Just because you are in the saddle, don’t think you can stop the eagle
God’s foundation will stand, even if you raise against us your trembling hand
Switching off the incandescent light
Will not stop the sun (Son) shining so bright
Go to the library and read Christian history
God will win every battle, even though your hand is on the throttle
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
He is the King of Kings, bow down to Him all ye things
He created you from the dust, don’t be destroyed by your lust
Lay all down at His feet; let the sinner and the savior meet
He is coming soon to take His very own
Rejoice, we will soon be home!
Don’t mess with Texas while we are gone
‘Cause we’ll be back before it’s long
The stone from the mountain will crush rebellion
Texas and the US, one nation under God!
Jesus reigns and He alone is Lord!
Christ will reign on earth and His love will be our wealth!
Forever we will reign then
On earth peace, goodwill among men
Glory to God in the Highest!
Let His Son shine the Brightest!
Question: Did Jesus Christ say I am the Son of God?
Answer: JESUS THE “SON” OF GOD
By Silas
NOTE: Many of the themes in this article were taken from John Gilchrist’s “The Christian Witness to the Muslim”.
INTRODUCTION
Jesus called Himself the “Son of God” throughout the Gospels, (John 3:16-18), and the disciples also identified Him as the Son of God in their writings, (Rom 1:3).
Further, Jesus identified Himself as God revealed in the flesh, (John 8:58), and His disciples identified Him as God, (John 1:1, Phil 2:5-11). How could Jesus be The Son of God, and God at the same time? What does this term – “Son of God” mean? And if Jesus is the Son, in what way is Jesus God’s Son? Did God have physical relations with Mary and get her pregnant?
Many Muslims do not understand what this term, according to Christian theology, actually means. They have asked me these or similar questions. This paper focuses on what the term “Son of God” signifies in Christian theology with respect to Muslim understanding.
MUSLIMS AND THE SON OF GOD
Muhammad, the founder of Islam, misunderstood what the term “Son of God” meant with respect to Christianity. He thought of it only in terms of sexual reproduction, i.e. that God fathered a child through sexual intercourse with Mary. Therefore he spoke out against it.
Christians also reject that God had physical intercourse with Mary, but we understand Christ being God’s Son as an analogical term. We believe that the eternal Son of God, one with the Father from all eternity, united to Him in one Spirit, “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), and took “the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7). We believe in the incarnation of the Son of God.
Muhammad did hear the Christians proclaim Jesus the Messiah as God’s Son, but understanding or not, he specifically denied that Jesus was the Son of God. He said in the Quran,
Sura 2:116 – “They say: “God has begotten a son”. Glory be to Him. No, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him.”
and,
Sura 9:30 – “The Christians say the Messiah is the Son of God, that is a saying from their mouths.”
Muhammad was unable to distinguish between the Christian belief in Jesus as the Son of God and the Arab Pagan belief in idols as offspring of God, i.e., Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, (these were idols worshipped around Mecca as daughters of the supreme God – or Allah). Muhammad misunderstood that Christians in no way consider Jesus – the Son of God, in the same way the Arab Pagans understood their idols.
Muhammad’s misconception of the Sonship of Christ is another proof that the Quran was not revealed to him by God, but rather it was built upon Muhammad’s own concepts and ideology.
Because of Muhammad’s misunderstanding, Islam places limits on God’s power. In view of this, a Christian writer commented that “to assert that God has no Son because He has no wife is like saying that God is not living because He does not draw breath.” Daniel, “Islam and the West, p.182.
WHAT THE TERM “SON OF GOD” SIGNIFIES
The expression “Son of God”, is an analogical term. It indicates origin, a close association, or identification. In Christian theology it describes the relationship of two persons of the triune God. It expresses an intimate relationship between two persons: God the Father, and God the Son – Jesus the Messiah.
Here are several scriptures illustrating this facet of their relationship:
John 17:5 – “And now Father, glorify me in Your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”
Here Jesus stated that He was with the Father before the world began.
Colossians 1:13-20 “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead so that in everything He might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him and through him to reconcile to himself all things whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
Here, we see the term “Son of God”, brought to light: “the image of the invisible God”.
Hebrews 1:1-3 “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son whom He appointed heir of all things and through whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”
Again, we see the relationship between the Father and the Son disclosed, “the exact representation of His being”.
John 1:1-3, 10, 14, 18 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made……(10) He was in the world and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him….(14) The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father full of grace and truth……(18) No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side has made Him known.”
John 14:8, 10 “Don’t you know me Phillip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?”
Jesus plainly told Phillip, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father”.
From these verses we see that in Christ, the invisible God is revealed. Jesus was with the Father before the world began. Christ, as God the Son, is the Creator of all things. God in all His fullness, dwelt in Christ, reconciling the world. We see that Christ, as the Son of God – God’s representation, is God manifest and revealed to the world. Angels, prophets, and things can reveal to us something about God. But God alone can reveal God. It takes God to reveal Himself to mankind. What better way for the eternal revealer to be revealed to mankind on earth than by clothing His self-expresion in human form?
JESUS AS THE WORD OF GOD
Muslims believe that the Quran – their Word of God – is eternal. The Quran also calls Jesus the Word of God. Since Muslims believe that the Quran is eternal, yet is able to enter into the limitations of time and space, and become available in book form, could not Jesus as the Word of God, be made manifest in human form? If on earth, Muslims believe that the uncreated Word of God – i.e., the Quran – is found as a book making it both uncreated and created, then cannot the uncreated Word of God be revealed as a human, if God willed it? That God has willed this is revealed in the testimony of the Gospels – God’s eternal self-expression, His Word, His Son, has entered human form as
Jesus the Messiah.
God the Father and God the Son are both God, but they are different persons. They are equal in essence, indeed of one essence, yet one is subject to the other’s authority. The human analogy goes no further than this – an earthly father and his son are both human to the full, yet the second must bow to the authority of the first. Jesus is subject to the Father’s authority. When He came to earth He came as the Father’s ambassador to redeem men from sin and, being found in human form, took His subjection to the Father’s authority to the point of a son to a father’s relationship.
As the Son of God, Christ, the second person of the Trinity, possesses the same essence as the Father, yet is subject to the Father as an earthly son is subject to his father. Jesus is not the Son of God because of His mighty works and miracles, but He did those works because He is the Son of God.
The prime duty of a son is to honor and obey his father, to serve him freely and fully. The ideas of being a servant and a son are found throughout the Bible. Jesus as God the Son, served God the Father not out of compulsion but because of His unity with the Father, served out of love.
MUSLIM ARGUMENTS AGAINST JESUS BEING THE SON OF GOD
Muslims frequently ask that if Jesus were really God’s Son, or God in the flesh, why didn’t Jesus know the date of the hour of judgment? Ref. Matthew 24:36.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
Or if Jesus were God in the flesh, why did He say,
“The Son can don nothing of his own accord but only what the sees the Father doing,…..The Father is greater than I,…. I can do nothing on my own authority.” John 5:19, 14:28, 5:30.
Muslims will ask rhetorical questions such as, “Wouldn’t God know the last hour of Judgment?” Or, “If Jesus were God, why did He say, “the Father is greater than I”?”
The answer lies in what Christ’s Sonship on earth entails. The passage that best addresses it is Philippians 2:5-8. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death on the cross.”
Here Christ emptied Himself. The Sonship of Christ is revealed in this: He was revealed as God in the flesh, and yet submitted to God the Father. He was limited as a man, and He glorified God the Father. The analogical term “Son” best describes Christ’s relationship with God the Father.
Christ’s exalted relationship is even seen in the very verse Muslims choose to attack His Sonship… In Mark 13:32 Christ says, “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” Here, Jesus places Himself above men, and above the angels. Jesus describes Himself alone in a category in relation to God.
Likewise, Christ when saying that He does nothing of His own accord, states that “whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.” Christ establishes His Sonship and puts Himself in perfect harmony with God. Even Muhammad is declared in the Quran as a sinner in Sura 48:2, but Christ walked in perfect harmony with the Father.
As Muhammad failed to understand what “Son of God” signified, so today, many Muslims continue to misunderstand. The term “Son of God” does not mean that God had intercourse with Mary, or created sons for Himself, but that Jesus, as God, is the image of God, made manifest to men. As Muslims believe that the Quran is eternal, uncreated, and is the Word of God found in physical book form, they should be able to understand that Jesus is eternal, uncreated, and is the Living Word of God in physical living form.
CONCLUSION
Jesus manifested his eternal abiding glory to John – as opposed to the veiled form of a humble servant he had while he walked this earth – while John was imprisoned on the isle of Patmos, revealing himself as what he truly was and will forever be, God Almighty –
Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 22:13, 16. “I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”…..(16) I Jesus have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
Jesus is the Son of God. This means that He is God, revealed to man. The term “Son of God” is an analogy, describing the relationship between two persons of God. Christ is the image of God to mankind. God – omnipotent, revealed Himself to mankind, in Christ.
Jesus is Lord. Amen, come Lord Jesus.
JESUS THE “SON” OF GOD Jesus called Himself the “Son of God” throughout the Gospels, (John 3:16-18), and the disciples also identified Him as the Son of God in their writings, (Rom 1:3). Show me your empty tomb! Who is superior? The one who lies in the grave or the one who did rise from the grave. Here’s the proof Jesus Christ is Almighty God
True Christianity is not a Religionbut is a true Relationship with Jesus Christ
Jesus is Almighty God!

Ten Main Characteristics of GOD: The closer you walk with Jesus, the more you will begin to understand the ten unique characteristics of this infinite God, who engulfs us with His ocean of love:
1. GRACE:
2. ALMIGHTY:
3. HOLINESS:
4. PEACE:
5. LOVE: http://www.tamilnews.org/sermons/love.mp3
6. HUMILITY:
7. UNITY:
8. PERFECT BIBLE:
http://www.christianity.pl/accurate.html
9. GLORY:
10. True Wisdom of God:
The Blessed Trinity: Father (God) Jesus (Son of God) Holy Spirit (God the Comforter) are all co-existent. When we cannot understand more than 0.0000000005% of our own body how can we fully understand in our short lifespan God the Creator of our body!
QUESTION for my MUSLIM FRIENDS – Why does UNITY have to be only ARITHMETICAL? Does “allah” know only ARITHMETIC and not GEOMETRY?
It amazes me how our Muslim friends LIMIT the UNITY OF GOD to an arithmetical singular unity!
The arithmetical singular unity is a very basic understanding of the Unity of God. God is COMPLEX. One cannot confine God to a Singular Unity. After all, 3 single lines make ONE TRIANGLE – A GEOMETRICAL UNITY!!!!
In the words of A.N. Whitehead – “Simple solutions are Bogus solutions”. Islam assumes a singular unity which does not fit the complexity of GOD.
“The RELATIONSHIP among Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one of LOVE and OBEDIENCE. Jesus said, “The Father loves the Son and shows him all he does” (John 5:20). In return, Jesus said, “the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me” (John 14:31). The Son’s obedience to the Father in the Gospel does not mean Jesus was merely human, or that he was somehow of a different nature from the Father. Rather, as Jesus said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), The Son GLORIFIES the FATHER and the Father also GLORIFIES the Son (John 17:1-4). The Father sends the Holy Spirit in the name of the Son (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit does not speak about himself but ONLY what he hears from Jesus, thereby glorifying Jesus (John 16:13-14). The Father has entrusted ALL judgement to the SON, said Jesus, “that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son DOES NOT honor the Father, who sent him”
Romans 8:37 … In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

9. GLORY:
10. True Wisdom of God:
24.0 True inspirations for your new life in Jesus
24.1 Don’t worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow is in God’s Nail Scarred Powerful Almighty Hands. True Christianity is putting your trust in God today for tomorow! Let God take you in His hand and fashion your future according to His will and make you His masterpiece. If you trust the faucet to flow when you open it, the door knob to work when you twist it, the rain to fall when it thunders and your car to start when you turn on the ignition why not God the Creator of all things including you who is all powerful and with whom nothing is impossible? Even as you cannot live without oxygen, you cannot live without God. You will fail without Him. But why wait until it is too late? Repent and turn to God. Hold on to God’s promises in His Word the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Is 43: When you pass through the waters I will be with thee and the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, and when you walk through the fire you will not be burned. Quit worrying and start praising. You were created to praise God. Leave the rest to your Creator who is your Father, God Almighty. He that spared not His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also give us all things. Focus on His face, not His blessings. Seek Him Love Him Worship Him and it shall be well with you!
24.2 Trust Jesus at all times
Have faith in Jesus Christ who can do all things for us to His Glory. He raised the dead, He healed the sick, He gave sight to the blind, He healed the deaf, He made the lame to walk and He made sinners saints through His precious blood. Above all He rose from the dead and even so we who are alive and remain unto the coming of our Lord will be caught up alive in a transformed body in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The dead in Christ shall be raised in a transformed body just like Jesus Christ and ascend with us to meet our Heavenly Father.
24.3 If you trust God and move forward, you will begin to see wonders
Kannunnu Njan Vishvasathal Malayalam Song to English:
I will not fear because he lives
He holds tomorrow by faith I’ll stand
Mountain start moving rivers stop flowing
When I move forward in Jesus Name
He split the red sea when I moved forward
I saw by faith things impossible
Faith is the substance faith is the evidence
By faith I can see all things unseen
Jericho walls will stop you from moving
If you keep staring tremble and frown
Lift up your eyes to the one who made you
If you start praising walls will come down
The fiery furnace the deepest waters
Will try to stop you from moving on
But He is faithful to keep you forever
Keep moving onward battle is won
The days were passing all hope was ending
Then after four days Jesus appeared
If you believe now you’ll see God’s glory
The devil’s plan will be overthrown
Is anything too hard for the maker
Who made the stars and called them by name
He’s our provider He’s our deliverer
He even conquered death and the grave
Summary:
Your heart has a God shaped cavity
Into it won’t fit worldly riches and vanity
God so loved the world that He gave
His only Son Jesus the world to save
Let your heart be filled with gratitude
Live at a higher altitude
Your body needs oxygen
Your soul needs regeneration
Your Spirit needs God’s presence
You are more than what people see
You can become a masterpiece of God’s Divinity!

IN NEW YEAR 2019’s JOURNEY
REMEMBER THIS STORY👇
A little boy and his father visited the country store, and upon leaving the store, the owner of the store offered the little boy some free Sweets… “Get a handful of Sweets”, the merchant said to the boy.
The boy just stood there looking up at his father. The owner repeated:- “Son get a handful of Sweets… it’s free.” Again the boy did not move, continuing to look up into the face of his father.
Finally the father reached into the candy jar and got a handful of Sweets and gave it to his son.
As they walked back home, the father stopped and asked his son why he did not grab a handful of the free candy. The boy with a big smile on his face looked into the face of his father and said:- *“Because I know that your HAND is BIGGER than mine.”*
So, whatever your needs are this year, please place them in the *FATHER’S HAND IN HEAVEN,* because HIS HAND is BIGGER THAN YOURS.
EVIL WILL BE STOPPED
Psalms 81:13-16 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
OUR LIFE IS A CIRCUIT
Psalms 19:5-6 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
DEMONS r CONFUSED
In the demons camp is confusion
About collusion
Between good and evil
Can oil and water mix?
What are demons trying to fix?
When they commit crime
They refuse to serve time
‘Cause they have the money
To silence law & authority
Laws are for the rest of us
Who are sheep among predators
Lurking to steal our sons & daughters
But our Shepherd goes before us
His Name is Jesus
He will judge the foxes
Their evil will not prosper
I heard the angels whisper
Demons and rats are on slippery ground
Their pride shall come crashing down
A little bug rose up at 12 O’Clock
To erase liberty and kill the flock
Bug was overthrown at hour 16
When USA arose with all its teens
Bug still hisses
And buzzes
You can hear its noise
Demons and rats’ destructive noise
They gather together not for you
They strive to wipe out chosen few
Let’s change the constitution they say
But USA
Won’t let them have their way
They kill babies after birth
Stating these lives aren’t worth
The money they make from selling their parts
They even kill elderly for they have no heart
They won’t stand up for the Anthem
They don’t respect those who died for them
Their freedom was bought by blood
So they can their snake’s skin shed?
Respect your country
Minority and majority
USA in diversity
We are Americans
We are US Citizens
Born or naturalized immigrants
Came here legally
To serve this country
We are one nation under one God
We will overcome the enemy against all odds
They’re against guns
But have armed security so others will run
No walls they say
When their mansions at the bay
Are like a fort, night and day
They scream for Equality
But give themselves raises unequivocally
They enter DC with $100k
And pile up jewels like stones each day
And do nothing for USA
A fraction of their ill gotten wealth
Acquired by stealth
Can feed the poor that are present
Whom they claim to represent!
What shall it profit a man
Who amasses wealth like a caravan
When all he or she needs is a 6 foot box
To bury the worn out heart
When death angel passes by
The finger you pointed at others is now cold & dry
Remember your Creator
To whom you’re a debtor
Now before it’s too late
There’s no such thing as fate
You make decisions
And face eternal consequences
Your party may believe you
But you cannot deceive the chosen few
What have you done for this country?
Except that you revolt against God’s Authority
You have raised your hand against the President
And all US residents
You wonder why it isn’t working
‘Cause your battery is dead with constant barking!
You pay people to riot
Why can’t you just be quiet
If you can’t do anything for this country
Clean up your yard or sit quietly
We have enough problems with morality
Inviting terrorists you increase USA’s vulnerability
There’s very few standing with a Holy God in solidarity
They want fame
Haven’t learned how to lose a game
Fight against their opponent
Raise their fist ’cause they lost as an incumbent
‘Cause their pride made them overconfident
Pride comes before a fall
‘Cause they heeded Lucifer’s call
Demons cannot resist God’s will
God’s Divine plan will be fulfilled
Why do the heathen rage?
‘Cause they lost control of the front stage
They are looking for a scapegoat
At least a balloon that looks like a ghost
Demons will go up in smoke
They will lose their hope
Conquered by God
Who exposed their fraud!
What you sow that you will reap
Poison in you runs so deep
If you sow hatred
You will end up naked
Fire met Sodom and Gomorrha
Flood came in the days of Noah
Your judgement is near
Your treasures will disappear
God bless the USA
May all who hate you flee away

IGNORANCE meets TRAGEDY
Hell is ignored, but hell is a real place!
Rapture is ignored, but rapture is imminent after which all hell will break loose on this earth!
Judgement day is ignored, but all kings and queens, and authorities and rulers, and rich and poor and common people, will kneel down and bow down before God Almighty, and give a tearful account for every thought, word and deed.
Disasters that could have been prevented if warnings were heeded to:
1. BP oil spill in the gulf
BP had a “culture of complacency” among management and an unwillingness to adhere to “world-class safety standards”. The kinds of things that are bad enough when they lead to a grease fire at a restaurant, but are absolutely maddening when they lead to one of the worst environmental catastrophes ever.
2. Chernobyl
Preventable nuclear accidents and the vital role of safety culture. “According to many studies, the root of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident was a deficient safety culture that existed not only at the Chernobyl plant but also throughout the Soviet Union’s nuclear power industry in the 1980s.Apr 26, 2016
3. 1900 Galveston hurricane
Weather Bureau put out on Friday; they later changed their minds and decided that the entire storm had entered the Gulf. It is interesting that they were loath to use the term “hurricane” fearing that it would frighten people. Isaac had walked the beach in the predawn hours and watched the swells. They were enormous, and growing larger, giving him the premonition that they were a portent of tragedy, but he could only deliver approved information that came officially from Washington, where Willis Moore reigned like a king. Something had happened to the storm as it entered the excessively warm waters of the Gulf. It exploded into a monster and took direct aim over the open Gulf at Galveston, Texas.
Had the stubborn and proud Willis Moore made better use of the Cubans’ proven scientific knowledge compiled by Father Vines and Father Gangoite and employed their warning system, the tragically high death toll could have been avoided
4. Indonesuan tsunami (listen to audio below)
5. Japanese Tsunami and nuclear disaster
On March day in 2012, a tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake swept through Fukushima nuclear power plant, causing three of its six reactors to melt down and resulting in the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. Despite the risks posed by tsunamis to nuclear plants being very well understood—and stringent preventive standards put in place by Japan’s nuclear regulatory commission—those standards were simply not followed leading up to the incident. A report issued by Japan’s parliament referred to the disaster as “man-made” because—while it is obviously impossible to prevent or accurately predict earthquakes—the nuclear accident could easily have been avoided.
6. Columbia & Challenger disaster
The 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster—in which the shuttle exploded moments after takeoff—traumatized a nation of schoolchildren, who were watching on live TV as the first teacher in space. The cause of that accident was determined to be a faulty O-ring. NASA ignored partial failures of the same O-ring on previous launches, or been warned about their susceptibility to cold weather (it was 36 degrees at the time of the launch).
The 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, in which the shuttle vaporized upon re-entry to Earth’s atmosphere, again killing all seven crew members. This happened when a chunk of insulating tore free of an external fuel tank and struck the left wing of the craft.
But, studies as far back as 1990 warned that these foam tiles were vulnerable points, and that ice buildup could cause them to break free, which is exactly what happened to Columbia. Heavy rainfall leading up to the launch almost certainly contributed to this as well, and we once again seem to be talking about a “culture of complacency”—and a mindset that rewards achievement at all costs over safety.
7. Nightclub Tragedy Avoidable
January 2013, a perfect storm of oversights and neglect—combined with one excruciatingly stupid decision—led to a fire that devastated the Kiss nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil, killing more than 230 people. It was one of the worst such incidents in the country’s history, and the fact that the club was operating with an expired fire safety certificate is only the most obvious indicator that it should not have been operating at all.
The club was reported to have a capacity of 2,000, despite 1,300 being the maximum allowable occupancy for its square footage under Brazilian law; there were no working fire extinguishers, sprinklers or emergency lighting, nor were there clearly marked emergency exits—as evidenced by the fact that some panicked clubgoers tried to cram themselves into the restrooms, thinking them to be exits.
The stupid decision? The band that was playing that night decided to introduce pyrotechnics to this tinderbox. Pyrotechnics designed for outdoor, not indoor use, because… the outdoor versions costed more!
8. Hurricane Katrina and Levy Failure
2005 Katrina: Three teams of engineers independently reached the same conclusion in investigating the aftermath of the storm—Katrina, while it would have caused modest flooding and wind damage in any event, was amplified into the full-scale catastrophe it was due to design flaws in the levees, which were built by the Army Corps of Engineers specifically to protect the city against just such a hurricane. Explained Ray Seed, head of one of the teams, at a press conference: “People didn’t die here because the storm was bigger than the system could handle…People died because mistakes were made and because safety was exchanged for efficiency and reduced costs.
9. Haiti Earthquake
You see, one of the world’s largest fault lines—comparable to California’s famed San Andreas—runs quite close to Haitian capital of Port-Au-Prince. The fault had been creeping along at seven millimeters a year—for two and a half centuries. It was literally not a question of if, but when; the year before the quake, one professor of geology at Oregon State University said in an unrelated interview that a big quake striking the West Coast of the States concerned him far less than the situation in Haiti.
That situation came to its terrible fruition on January 12, 2010. The Haiti 7.0 magnitude quake killed over 300,000 people, injured that many more, and left a million homeless. A pair of geophysicists who specialize in Caribbean fault lines, Eric Calais and Paul Mann, warned that this was imminent in 2008. And while it’s not like it would have been feasible to abandon the island, it seems like there must have been a course of action preferable to the one that was taken—none
10. Ignorance of Christ’s Coming, the Rapture
Matthew 24:37-42 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
ABSENCE OF SUN & MOON & STARS IS PRESENCE OF DARKNESS, ABSENCE OF GOD IS PRESENCE OF CURSE, ABSENCE OF GOD IS PRESENCE OF SLAVERY TO SIN, PRESENCE OF GOD IS KINGSHIP & PRIESTSHIP
Revelation 22:1-5 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
1. Where the river of the Water of Life is, there is Clarity in understanding God’s will, there is steadfastness and consistency, and nothing can shake us when God is with us.
Psalms 46:4-5 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
2. Where God’s River is there is Eternal Life, the Tree of Life, where there is healing
3. Where God’s River is in Rev 22 and Ps 46, the City of God, the Church, there is blessing and no curse.
4. Where God’s throne is, there is light and understanding

A TRUE SON wants to be like his FATHER

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Colossians 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
WE ARE SAFEST IN GOD’S HANDS

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

2 Kings 19:34-35 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

WHO IS MAJORITY?

And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Majority
Is not a mathematical reality
But depends on who has Jesus
‘Cause the invisible army is
with us
We stand tall
No demons can make us fall
When we move forward
Enemy falls backward
Nothing can stop us
Infinite power is in Jesus
At Christ’s feet all knees shall bow
No one can resist God above
A product cannot resist the manufacturer
Nor a lump of clay shake fist at the Creator
He who created galaxies by His Word
Will protect His sheep like a Shepherd His herd
Trumpet will sound
So we can fly in a cloud
Far above the moon
‘Cause Jesus is coming soon
Even lady Ocasia Cortez
By the people elected
Is constrained and bridled
By God’s 2 Hands
Cannot resist the angelic bands

SEE CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
How can we rejoice when things go wrong?
2 Kings 6:15-17 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

But Elisha looked with spiritual not natural eyes and saw a wall of fire around him protecting him and the entire army that attacked him became blind and he fled them and sent them back to their country.
The Jews saw the mighty army of Egypt about to kill them and the raging Red sea about to drown them, but Moses, Joshua and Caleb looked with spiritual eyes and saw a highway through the ocean and the dead army on the seashore.
Saul saw a giant well armed and much mightier than him about to kill him but David looked with spiritual eyes and saw Almighty God empowering a little boy to overcome the giant with a small stone. This challenge transformed David from a shepherd boy to the king and emperor of the ancient world in due time.

GOD IS OUR FATHER AND LOVES US, AND IS IN CONTROL OF EVERY MINUTE DETAIL OF OUR LIFE AND WORKS OUT ALL THINGS FOR OUR GOOD AND OUR ETERNAL GLORY
God is a God of detail, revealed in every element of creation. He has packed nuclear power into the smallest stable particle, the atom. If God created the atom with such minute detail, is He not concerned with us His children, made in His own image and likeness?
We call Him Father! A Father is the one we originated from, Who cares for us, Who is responsible for us, Who guides us, Leads us, and is allways there for us. Even as a Father guides us until adulthood and beyond, God our Father also guides us until we become like Jesus and provides for us for eternity.
Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. FEAR YE NOT therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Isaiah 49:14-14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
Romans 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
MANY SHALL BE PURIFIED AND BECOME LIKE JESUS
Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Job 38:8, 11 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Problems transform us into Christ’s Likeness and the waves will not harm us for when the enemy comes like a flood the Lord will raise up a standard against him.
LAUNCH INTO A DEEPER ABUNDANT LIFE EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST IN 2019
Luke 5:4 Jesus said, “Launch out into the deep”.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Importance of worshipping as the church-body of Christ: Psalms 77:13-14, 19 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Go deeper in Christ: Ezekiel 47:1, 3-5 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles.
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
In the deep, the blessings are abundant: Luke 5:4-7 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships with blessings, so that they began to sink.
GOD IS ALLWAYS WORKING, RECREATING

Psalms 138:8
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
My way is in the sea and my path in the great waters and my footsteps are not known.
Don’t be alarmed by what you see
Trust in me
And follow me
If you follow me into the highway prepared for you in the sea
There I will reveal my Glory
And provide all your need
Not everything is ok
Pharaoh wants you under his shadow so you can serve him
If you keep your eyes straight and look forward you will be victorious
The multitude of thoughts that burden you are not from me for I have planned your future even before you were formed
You are the true Jews who worship me in Spirit
Walk with me in the Wilderness and it will transform into a garden for the Rose of Sharon
Go forward my church you will overcome
The lions mouth will be shut
There will be an end and your expectation will bear fruit
I will make the crooked places straight
WE HAVE READ THE BACK OF THE BOOK AND WE WIN!

Daniel 4:30-37 The king Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

1 Samuel 2:8-10 God raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Revelation 19:11-16, 19-20 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

HOLY BIBLE MAKES NATURAL SUPERNATURAL
Romans 8:11, 14 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL PROSPER
Psalms 2:1-4 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Isaiah 54:14-15, 17 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

FAITH leads to HOPE
Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, and were persuaded of God’s promises, and embraced them
Romans 8:16-17, 25 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Walking by human sense caused tragedy–Eve:
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Walking by faith resulted in Victory–Moses & Others:
Exodus 14:10-11, 13-14 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
2 Kings 6:15-17 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire
Joshua 11:1-8 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west, And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel. So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

THE POWER OF CHRISTIANITY
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact” (Acts 2:32). Christianity stands on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The founders and leaders of other religions are dead. Their bodies have perished and gone. However Jesus Christ died for the sins of mankind, was buried and rose up on the third day. This is a historical fact. This was recorded by those who directly witnessed His death, burial and resurrection.
The Holy Bible was not a record of events said to have happened long ago based on hearsay events. Bible was written over thousands of years by over 40 people living in 3 different continents and conveys the same message about Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
Scientific Accuracy: Job 26:7 God hangeth the earth upon nothing, written thousands of years back (discovered by science recently)
Is 40:22 He sitteth upon the Circle of the earth (sphere)–>discovered by science recently!
The New Testament was written by direct eyewitnesses of His resurrection and by hearing firsthand from Him. The early apostles were witnesses of His resurrection in a special way. They declared, “Jesus Christ rose from the dead. We saw that and we are witnesses” (Acts 2:24, 32; 3:15; 4:20; Luke 1:1-4; I Cor. 15:1-8).
“With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). The main duty of the apostles was to testify to the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 1:8,22). Jesus Christ was raised from the dead.
Whereas the graves of founders and leaders of other religions are here and whereas they are bound by death, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead (Acts 3:15; 4:10). It was only with the proclamation of the risen Christ, that Christianity made its beginning. All those who believed the resurrection were saved and delivered from their sins. They received the Holy Spirit. Though religious councils and governments restricted them from giving testimony to this effect, the apostles said, “We can not but speak about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20).
In these days, some might lie, “Jesus Christ did not die on the cross but after regaining consciousness, traveled to Kashmir, died there, and there remains His grave”. But the truth is, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Rom. 4:25). If my Lord Jesus Christ were not dead, my sins would not have been forgiven. If Lord Jesus Christ were not risen from the dead, I would not have had victory over sin. I am a testimony to the fact that He died, was buried and rose again from the dead. And every Christian is a testimony too.
The power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a very great power in the world, like the power of prayer. In Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, the people once fallen are fallen for ever. But in Christianity, the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ makes them stand again and the same power upholds those in Christ from falling.
Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The God who raised Him from the dead, fills you and me with the power of His resurrection. We shall be victorious over sin, world, flesh, devil and death (I Pet. 1:3,21). We are witnesses to this (Acts 5:30-32).
With His power of resurrection, He will raise to life of glory those who believed in Him and passed away (dead and buried). They will be raised to life and will rule this world for thousand years along with the living saints who will be transfigured (Rev. 20:4-6; 5:10; II Tim. 2:11; Rm. 8:17).
Let us receive the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let us lead a victorious life (Rm.6:4,5). It was only by seeing the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ that an enemy to Christianity named Saul believed in Jesus Christ and turned a Christian (Acts 9:1-22). He was apostle Paul. We are worshipping not a dead spirit but a living God.
Therefore Christianity is a true divine path of life and power. Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He will subdue His enemies. It is possible for the resurrected Lord to change even enemies of Christianity into His followers. Behold, Jesus Christ lives! Amen.
“Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore…. Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Amen (Mat. 28:18-20)
FOCUS OF THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE JESUS CHRIST
Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him (Jesus Christ), and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord (Jesus Christ), are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him (Jesus Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him (Jesus Christ) who died for them, and rose again.
Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him (Jesus Christ) shall not be ashamed.
Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed (Jesus Christ) were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
2 Romans 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By (Jesus Christ) also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
In Christ we are a hero
Without Jesus we are a zero
Only one life ’twill soon be past
Only what’s done for Christ will last

POWER & AUTHORITY IN JESUS CHRIST
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
DON’T LET THE DEVIL STEAL YOUR JOY!
Nehemiah 8:10 – For the joy of the LORD is your strength.
1. Joy should not be dependent on our abundance:
Habakkuk 3:17-18 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Psalms 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased (abounded).
2. Joy should not be dependent on our acceptance:
Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Acts 13:50-52 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
3. Joy should not be dependent on our circumstance:
Acts 16:23-25 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Wherever we are we should be in God’s presence Psalms 16:11 In God’s presence there is fulness of joy; at God’s right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
4. Joy should not be dependent on our challenges for in Christ we have the victory
Joshua stopped the sun and moon
Moses split the ocean
David slew an evil giant
Paul’s praise caused an earthquake
Hezekiah’s praise wiped out an army
Elisha raised a dead boy to life

I AM GOD, I CHANGE NOT
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. If God gave you a promise, a dream, hold on to it, trust Him and in due time He will fulfill His Word, for He is faithful!
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Nothing can harm us for God’s love to us is stedfast!
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Romans 8:28-34 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8:37 … In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
http://www.njchurch.org/sermons/change.mp3
FOCUS ON GOD
Psalms 27:1, 4 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR OUR ETERNAL GOOD!
Time is passing
Youth is fading
Thoughts and plans pass away
Education & degrees may fade away
In glory on that day I’ll see
My Jesus as He’ll be
Glorious day wonderful day awesome day
Sorrows will pass away
Pain will go away
Sickness no more that day
Seeing Jesus face to face
Jesus lover of your soul beckons you
As time of your death draws near to you
As relatives surround you
And loved ones wail missing you
Your life live keeping Jesus first
In Joy of the Holy Spirit
Finish your race with power
Keep your faith forever
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Why we have to live a righteous life, and what is the difference between the RIGHTEOUS & WICKED?
1. Wicked-Temporary Prosperity but Eternal Torment
2. Righteous-Temporary Adversity but Eternal Prosperity
1. Wicked-Attacks the Righteous but is destroyed in the Process
2. Righteous-Prays for the wicked, turns them to righteous, there by saving many from destruction
1. Wicked-Chaff which wind driveth away
2. Righteous abideth for ever like trees planted by rivers of water
1. Wicked-their paths and thoughts will perish
2. Righteous-their plans and thoughts will flourish
1. Wicked-will rot with the devil and will be ashes under the feet of the righteous
2. Righteous-will become like God and live with God in the heavenly jerusalem in structures made of transparent gold, foundation of jewels and gates of pearls
1. Wicked-will lose everything
2. Righteous-will gain everything
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 10:25
As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
Proverbs 29:16
When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall
LOOK UP & LIFT UP YOUR HEADS-rapture is imminent-don’t be distracted-be attracted to Jesus
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
We are trees planted by the Living Water (Jesus) to bear fruit in our season. Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
When a fruit tree flowers you know the unripe fruit will soon follow. When the fruit is ripe, it gets a new beautiful color (red, yellow or green). Now it is time to look up, lift your head, and pluck the fruit and enjoy it’s delicious taste. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the fruit we have waited for 2,000 years is coming to transform our vile body into the likeness of His Divine Godly Immortal Body. We will look like Him and be with Him for evermore.
The fruit on the tree is about to ripen. What we lived, longed and hoped for is about to happen! Look up at the Tree of Life (Jesus Christ) and enjoy His fruit.
Song of Solomon 2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Psalms 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

MOUNTAINS WILL DISAPPEAR, IRON GATES WILL MELT & TURBULENT OCEANS WILL BECOME A HIGHWAY!
Micah 2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Isaiah 41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Psalms 114:3-4, 7 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

GOD EMPOWERS OUR SUCCESS with LIFE ABUNDANT as long as we are on GOD DEPENDANT
As humans, we are limited by what we can do. While we know our limitations, and we strive to do our best, there are mountains, storms and raging fires in our life that we have no control of.
Nebuchadnezzar the king of the ancient world had built an empire but tragedy struck and he ended up on dirt since he lost his mind for not attributing his greatness to God.
These are days when kings and queens have lost their throne and are seated on the floor.
Billionaires who followed mirages now with an empty hand have decided their life to end.
A plane that carried a persons dream has crashed in the desert with his entire team. Life appears to be so mean when on Jesus you do not lean.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
1 John 2:16-17 Many people today are trapped in vanity and addicted to insanity in chains imprisoned for countless days. Satan desires the destruction of the human race and baits them with sin so they can be destroyed from within. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
So the key thing is to do God’s will by running our life with jesus, living our life with jesus, praying to the Father in the Name of Jesus so we will have eternal provision, success and Divine protection. That includes physical, emotional and spiritual blessings, and empowerment.
Psalms 57:2 – I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me
Romans 8:3-4 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
God does everything for us eternally and without Him we can do nothing. Jesus said
John 15:4-7 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
If we abide in Jesus, our life will be fruitful, our prayers will be answered according to God’s will, we will be healed, prosper in our environment, our body soul and spirit eternally for in Christ you are a hero and without Him you are a zero!
PRAYER & WORD WILL TRANSFORM USA & WORLD
Psalms 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Church is Christ’s body, bone of His bones and flesh of His flesh. So especially, when the church prays, God hears and answers–Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
We need to pray that USA and this world be revived by the Blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit: 1 Timothy 4:5 For it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.
This is how John Wesley revived England. John Wesley was refused pulpits because he was not a recognized preacher of the organized clubs. So he preached from his father’s tombstone, and chimney sweepers were converted into evangelists, and theatres in England were closed and made into evangelistic meeting halls.
John Wesley was a man of prayer. When we pray, God first transforms us. Luke 9:28-29 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings (Jesus first preached the Word), he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
And as he prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering.
If prayer transformed Jesus, would it not transform us?
“Give me Scotland or I die”, John Knox’s prayer revived Scotland.
Our prayer shakes God’s Hand, and God’s Hand shakes the earth
GOD’S ANSWER SURPASSES OUR ASKING & THINKING
A little boy’s dad took him to the store to buy chocolate candy for his birthday. The boy stood quiet and the dad kept saying reach out and grab as much candy as you need. After a few minutes the dad grabbed the candy and gave it to the boy while he asked his son why he hesitated. The little boy replied, “daddy, because your hands are bigger”
Isaiah 45:1-3 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed (that is to us) whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
God promises to shatter and open the closed brazen doors, cut the iron bars, straighten the crooked paths, and grind the mountains to powder that block our path and give us the riches of His glory, the riches of His Grace, and the riches of His mercy!
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us
To understand this verse we need to understand our status in Christ:
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
We are now the Sons of God!
We are going to be like Jesus the Son of God and we are going to jointly inherit all that God owns and will create in the future.
Do we deserve it? No because it is through God’s Grace. GRACE means God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense
Is it only after we sleep in Christ or are raptured at Christ’s coming? Although in this world we have temporary adversity, God still provides all our need and gives us victory in all paths that are His perfect & glorious will for us.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Satan stole everything from God but Christ recovered and restored all through His Blood.
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Jesus defeated Satan’s army and conquered all demons crushing them under His feet and ours!
Jesus won the greatest war on Calvary and now all the treasures in the entire universe now belong to Christ and us His joint-heirs.
Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men
The entire human race that was in Satan’s grip is now free through faith in Christ, for we are no more captives but sons
We are Sons and Daugters of Almighty God!
2 Corinthians 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Unto Him who is able be glory!
http://www.njchurch.org/sermons/Thanksgiving2018.mp3
SEE CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
How can we rejoice when things go wrong?
2 Kings 6:15-17 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
There was a large human army made of flesh with swords and spears ready to find and kill Prophet Elisha. But Elisha looked with spiritual not natural eyes and saw a wall of fire around him protecting him and the entire army that attacked him became blind and he fled them and sent them back to their country.
The Jews saw the mighty army of Egypt about to kill them and the raging Red sea about to drown them, but Moses, Joshua and Caleb looked with spiritual eyes and saw a highway through the ocean and the dead army on the seashore.
Saul saw a giant well armed and much mightier than him about to kill him but David looked with spiritual eyes and saw Almighty God empowering a little boy to overcome the giant with a small stone. This challenge transformed David from a shepherd boy to the king and emperor of the ancient world in due time.
