This little Light of mine I’m going to let It Shine – Destined To Be Revealed
Our Focus In This ministry is to present the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, directly and correctly.
Jesus Christ Is The Shepherd And Overseer Of Our Souls, He is also the light of the world. Those that follow Him in Spirit and in Truth, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (1 Peter 2:25; John 8:12; John 4:23).
2 Timothy 2:15-16 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
The truths contained in the Word of God are spiritually discerned, they are revealed to the Faithful follower by the Holy Spirit, enabling us to hear, understand and obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (Heb 5:9; 2 Thes 1:5-8).
The Christian experience is a remarkable life changing journey. It begins when we are truly able to hear the Words of Jesus Christ, and they become implanted in our minds for the first time.
When the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from Jesus Christ, dwells in us, we can then begin to understand the Gospel message, and the peace of God which passes all understanding.
Many claim to have faith, but a worldly faith can easily be shattered, if it is based upon illusions and deceit.
A Christian believer walking in the truth, as a result of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is kept by the power of Christ through an enduring faith. With the Spirit we can have a full assurance of the hope of our Salvation, and an understanding of the truth of the Gospel. It is only through Jesus Christ who is the Living Word, that we can we receive His precious gifts, such as Faith, Hope, Love and Joy (Gal 5:22).
Through these gifts, we can be certain of our power, purpose, and place with our Savior and Lord (2 Cor 4:13; Heb 10:22; 1 John 5:4; ). Hearing the Word of God and realizing that it is a very powerful living testimony of Jesus Christ unto our Salvation starts a transformation process.
As we joyfully and diligently labor in the scriptures they enter our mind and heart. Soon our study and prayer time becomes a labor of love, as great joy and wonder overwhelm our senses.
As we start to trust and believe the truth in the Word, our faith gets stronger and submitting to our Redeemer becomes easier. When we allow Him to become the Lord and focus of our lives, a dynamic and lasting relationship that cannot easily be severed blossoms.
Jesus Christ-The Way The Truth And The Life
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, our Hope and our Life. When His Spirit dwells in us, we are also in Him, and the promise of Salvation and eternal life is established and certain (John 15:1-15; 1 John 4:6-13).
Once we are sealed, or set apart, we realize that nothing can separate us from the Love of God in Jesus Christ. This Baptism of the Holy Spirit wherein He resides in us, is when we are born again.
The infilling of the believer with the Spirit of God is the down payment (or earnest) that Jesus Christ gives to His chosen, that He has purchased with His shed blood on the cross.
We can receive the Word of God, as He knocks and asks to come into our life; we can also close the door and wander around aimlessly.
Jesus Christ is called the Word of God; the words He speaks they are Spirit and they are Life. When we let His Words abide in us they become alive in us, and change our very essence (Eph 1:3-18; Rom 8:35-39; John 6:63; John 15:7).
The Word of Truth is the gospel and hope of our Salvation; our Lord’s Words are also the sword of the Spirit. This Word of life is not only essential defensive armor, but an effective offensive weapon as well; all those in Jesus Christ war against spiritual wickedness in high places (Heb 4:12; Eph 6:12).
With a tireless persevering that is done with great care, through the Spirit that teaches us all things we can rightly divide and then preach the Word of Truth.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The word transformed actually means metamorphosis, and the word picture here is one of a new life where we are transformed into a beautiful new creation. We can go from obeying the lusts of the flesh, to being born again through the spirit that Jesus Christ sent, to serve Him in newness of life.
1 Corinthians 9:16-18 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
We preach the good news which is the gospel of salvation, as we are called or compelled to do so through the Holy Spirit. To whom much is given much is expected, and it is a grave error to keep the engrafted or implanted word to ones self (Luke 12:48).
The grief or sorrow of not sharing the truth along with exposing the lies, more than outweighs the inadequacy of the present writing and organizational skills of this humble outreach.
No one involved with this Christian Truth project, has any type of teaching certificate, or accreditations from any man made institution, seminary or the like. This is unfortunately and typically the exception rather than the norm, however we do not follow after the traditions of men. Our teacher is and always will be the Holy Spirit, which Jesus Christ our Savior graciously bestowed upon us as we submitted to His Lordship.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Furthermore nothing presented at this site is as a result of a superior intellect or special ability that we can boast about. We give Jesus Christ all the glory and we are not trying to create a following. We are but humble followers of Christ and are blessed to be counted as members of his flock.
So then the goal is to point out the obvious spiritually discerned Gospel truth, verses the secular humanistic religion that Christianity has become to so many.
Much joyful time has been invested here in the diligent study of the Word, allowing the spirit to lead, so as to teach sound biblical truths.
Most preachers would say that they deserve a double honor that is monetary in nature, and payable in part to them for their works (1 Tim 5:17). However the true laborer has the reward of living of or by the very word of the gospel that they preach. The honor is to live by the gospel, and in no way does it refer to a monetary reward (1 Cor 9:14; 1 Cor 12: 23; 1 Tim 1:17; 1 Peter 1:7).
The reward we are to aim for is a spiritual one from Christ (1 Tim 5:18; Matt 5:12; Matt 6:1; Rev 11:18). So as Paul clearly points out, we too will not charge for the teachings presented here as this is a calling and not a business opportunity.
Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
A great battle is coming that will separate the wheat or true Children of God, from the tares or those that are deceived. The commencement of this war is imminent, and those who are not in darkness see the evidence of the soon approaching three and a half year great tribulation.
Luke 21:26-28 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption (or Salvation) draweth nigh.
We Joy in the Lord, yet we are brokenhearted, as we see so clearly the devastations unfolding through the deceptive teachings so prevalent today.
The Pre Tribulation Rapture deception once realized to be false, will cause a great falling away and utterly destroy the faith of those who claim to be Christians and follow the commandments and doctrines of men.
The distortions, grievous offences and utter lies that are accepted as doctrine today establish clearly the lateness of the hour, like a blanket of darkness that has almost completely smothered out the light of the true Word.
Our prayer is that Jesus Christ will indeed allow the truths presented here to reach many. There are many needs that need to be met in order for this ministry to effectively make a difference in the hearts and minds of those that are deceived, and or looking for answers and direction. We faithfully wait for the Lord Jesus Christ to send other spirit filled individuals to partner with and encourage us.
The time and talents necessary to build upon this platform presented here, and produce an effective outreach, must come from others within the body.
We labor not so much so as to earn a reward, but because we have an immense Love for those who are deceived and are completely oblivious to the approaching peril.
There is no donate button anywhere to be found on this website. Any funds if required for projects , such as an e-book, web based talk radio or the like, would ideally come directly from those who are called to perform such tasks, and then go directly to that designated project.
Without exception no profit or wages will ever be taken from this team at any time. If a book was ever to be produced, and the Lord would provide a Spirit Filled writer, any and all proceeds would go back into this ministry.
Also it would never be a consideration to become a part of the 501c3 government controlled business of churches, whose teachings are primarily after the traditions of men, and contrary to the Word of God.
Thank you for taking the time to visit us and please prayerfully consider these words and the teaching that follow. Our prayer is that you will be led by the spirit of truth and not the wisdom of men.
As an introduction, here is a portion of a message on salvation. Salvation has been reduced to a formula of words, and to be spirit filled to most is mistaken as that tingly sensation one gets while being emotionally stimulated.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him,Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
It is taught and accepted that simply to acknowledge Jesus Christ equates to immediate salvation. But even the demons know of Jesus Christ, so there has to be more to the story. Walking with him through the spirit and taking up your cross, involves more than simply a knowledge of Him.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The above two verses are but a few that are taken out of context, without understanding their true meanings. The danger in this cheap or imitation salvation notion is deadly to say the least. You are saved when you are saved. As the word clearly tells us, he who endures until the end will be saved (Math 24:13).
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
John baptized with water but he spoke of the one to come who would baptize with the Holy Spirit, which is a necessary part of the salvation process. Note the word unto, which is future tense.
Romans 8:7-9 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit it impossible to know the word, become the Israel of God, have true faith, or ever obtain salvation.
Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest (or down payment) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
So then the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ are given the Holy Spirit (or baptism of the Holy Spirit) as a down payment of a future inheritance. Our redemption is when Jesus Christ will relieve us of our mortal and corruptible bodies, and bestow upon us immortality and incorruption. This will complete the salvation process!
Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior is…
Hebrews 9:28 So Jesus Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto (or with) salvation.
LOVE IS THE KEY TO THE UNIVERSE
NOT A SILLY OUTDATED BOOK OF BIBLE FEAR MONGERING.
ONLY SHEEP FOLLOW RELIGION
“Jesus Christ Is The Shepherd And Overseer Of Our Souls,”
Speak for yourself, why are you talking for everyone? If you lump all the sects together, the only time you folks tolerate it is for political reason, you seen to think consensus makes you right, you are still a minority belief. There are 7 billion people living today, and only 2 billion are Christians, most of which are non active.
