Look out....

How much are we watching over others? It is easy to be caught up in our own issues and to miss seeing what is going on around us. If we see something bad happening to others, what do we do? If we hear something being taught to others that we believe is incorrect, do we do anything about it? If we do not do something, is it because we do not want to be accused of interfering? Are we afraid of the person doing the false teaching? Should we interfere or should we just pray for the situation or should we do nothing?

 These are my thoughts. Firstly, if we are seeing the issue in question, then it is because God is showing it to us. This means that God has involved us and that He is opening up a ministry to us. Now the first ministry is to Him. In other words we would first ask God why He is showing us the situation and secondly we could ask Him what He wants us to do. He may ask us to pray for the situation. He may ask us to pray for the situation and then pray for His wisdom that we may speak on His behalf. If we do nothing we have missed an opportunity for the people in question, including ourselves, to be blessed.
 Imagine a Godless world, a place where no one represents Christ on earth. When Jesus came to the earth He brought correction, He brought the truth. Of course some people were not too pleased about that, but He delivered the truth as an opportunity for others to find salvation. He has given His church the same commission.

 JOHN 9 : 5 NKJV
 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

 MATTHEW 5 : 14 NKJV
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

 Yes Jesus has called us to take His place and be the light of the world, teaching and preaching the truth and making disciples of the whole world. However, He does not expect us to just jump into that, but we must first learn the truth from Him for ourselves. One of the ways that we learn is to get involved, to begin to speak up. We may over time become accustomed to listening, which is good, but we are being equipped that we may speak. The world needs to hear the truth. If we feel inadequate or unable to speak, that is a good time to ask God why? We can also ask Him to teach us and empower us to speak when He wants us to. We may have had bad experiences as a result of speaking up in the past and that may have made us reluctant to speak now. If we remain in that trap then we have been silenced by fear and that is the work of our enemy. Let us rise above those things in the strength of Jesus and press on in victory.

TRUE SALVATION EXPLAINED

What is Salvation?  Who can save us?  How can we be saved?   ACTS 4 : 8-12 NKJV 8  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:  9  If we this day are judged for a good deed  done  to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,  10  let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.   11  This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’  12  Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” In the above scripture it is clearly stated that we can only be saved through Jesus Christ. ROMANS 3 : 10-26 NKJV 10  As it is written: “ There is none righteous, no, not one ; 11  There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12  They

You can run but you can not hide.

We can do as we please because God has given us all a free will. Every moment of every day we exercise that free will by the choices that we make when we respond to our circumstances. We can be happy or sad, disappointed or accepting, forgiving or unforgiving, etc. We decide how we will respond. Like saying, "My cup is half full" or "My cup is half empty". We could also choose to be angry or bitter or depressed, etc. If we have chosen to be christians, we do not need to have any negatives in our life, because Jesus Christ will set us free. Again, that would be our choice, exercising our free will. If we ask Him why we are angry, bitter, frustrated, depressed, fearful, anxious, untruthful, unsubmitted, lusty, immoral, self-centered, etc. , then He will tell us the truth. Once we have the truth, again we choose what we are going to do. Will we repent and be free or will we remain trapped in our problems? If we do not hear God very clearly then we can ask others to pra

Why is it not working? Part 1.

  Why is it not working?   PART 1. What is not working? The Christian church of Australia is not functioning as it should be. It is broken down and ineffective in this broken World to whom it should be light and salvation. Matthew 5 : 14-16 NKJV 14  “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.   15  Nor do they   light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all  who are  in the house.   16  Let your light so shine before men,   that they may see your good works and   glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 28 : 19-20 NKJV 19  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,  even  to the end of the age.” Amen. As the church of today in Australia let us look at ourselves in the mirror and see what fruit we are bearing to God.
