About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

Circumcision Is A Matter Of The Heart
John 18:14 'Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.'
The physical nation of Israel still has a very important part to play in God's plan. They have a prominent role in end-time prophecy. However, the physical nation of Israel has been displaced in importance by the spiritual seed of Abraham, that is the church of Jesus Christ.
Christians are the true circumcised people of God. In Romans 2:28-29, Paul reveals that true circumcision is a matter of the heart, not the flesh, and that true Judaism is through new birth, not physical birth.
In Colossians 2:11,...
IF YOU STOOD BEFORE GOD TODAY AND HE ASKED YOU WHAT YOU HAD DONE TO DESERVE TO BE IN HEAVEN, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HIM? SOME OF YOU WOULD START TELLING HIM ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU HAD BEEN DOING LIKE GOING TO CHURCH, TITHING, TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL, ETC. IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TEST QUESTION, YOU WOULD HAVE FAILED.
Fight The Battle In The Spirit
John 18:10 'Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.'
JOHN 18:10-11
It is the apostle John who reveals Peter as the one who cut off the servant's ear and also identifies the servant. It is very doubtful that Peter was aiming for Malchus' ear. It is more probable that he was making a horizontal swing at the servant's head and as the man ducked, Peter cut off his ear.
Peter was very vocal about never denying the Lord, and his actions proved that he meant what he said. There were only two swords among the disciples, yet Peter was willing to take on these six hundred soldiers. This spelled certain death...
I HAVE WRITTEN SO MANY TIMES ON HEALING AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL I GET MY MESSAGE CLEAR. WHEN I HAVE QUOTED 1ST PETER 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.", A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED THAT MY INTERPRETATION WAS WRONG AND THIS WAS TALKING ABOUT HEALING OUR SINS. I HAVE EVEN QUOTED ISAIAH 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." BUT THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP ALTHOUGH ISAIAH PROPHESIED THIS BEFORE JESUS WAS EVEN ON THIS EARTH. PEOPLE STILL SAY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HEALING OUR SINS.
God's Awesome Power
John 18:6 'As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.'
DO YOU KNOW WHAT ATONEMENT MEANS? IT IS MENTIONED IN ROMANS 5:10-11 AND IT SAYS "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." THE GREEK WORD THAT WAS TRANSLATED "ATONEMENT" IS "kATALLAGE" AND STRONG'S CONCORDANCE SAYS IT MEANS "EXCHANGE". WITH THAT MEANING IN MIND, READ THE FOLLOWING.
Healing Is An Expression Of God's Mercy
Luke 22:51 'And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.'
Jesus often healed people by touching them, and others received their healing as they touched Jesus. You can transmit the power or the anointing of God through the laying on of hands (Mk. 16:18; Heb. 6:2). The virtue of God can even be transmitted to objects and then brought to the person who needs healing or deliverance.
Jesus provided physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins. Many scriptures mention the healing of our bodies in conjunction with the forgiveness of our sins. Healing is an expression of God's love and...
THE MORE I LISTEN TO THE NEWS MEDIA, THE MORE I WANT TO WRITE ON THIS SUBJECT. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU ARE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AT NIGHT AND SEE A BUNCH OF YOUNG KIDS COMING IN YOUR DIRECTION? IT IS A SHAME BUT WE USUALLY WANT TO CROSS THE STREET. WHY IS THIS? I THINK IT IS BECAUSE WE IMMEDIATELY THINK THEY ARE UP TO NO GOOD? THIS IS ALL WE HEAR ON THE RADIO AND SEE ON TV. ALL YOU EVER SEE IS HOW THE GANGS ARE ROAMING THE STREETS AND DOING BAD THINGS. DON'T THEY KNOW THERE ARE GOOD GANGS OF KIDS OUT THERE IN THE STREETS DOING GOOD THINGS?
