God's kingdom is spirit and truth (John 4:24)

Satan’s kingdom is this world. He is declared the god of this world having been cast out of heaven for trying to become higher than God.In this world he has corrupted as much as he can to keep man in his world which will lead to eternal damnation.

He is achieving this through man made church systems/denominations, pagan holidays Christmas/ Easter, lies, evolution,worldliness, sports, movies, politics, main stream media,fleshly music, easy believe gospels,lack of holiness and obedience, pride, feminization, the kundalini spirit (not the holy spirit) immodest dress (any type of clothing that exposes or defines the nakedness of the body), pride, personality confusion, pursuing pleasures of the fallen world, entertainment etc.

Come out of Satan’s kingdom, leave false religion(modern church) the world and its sinful culture,

WILL YOU LOSE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO FOLLOW CHRIST? (Matt 10:39)

Matthew 24:14

And the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations: Then the end will come

We are no means teachers. But we are called to preach the Gospel to everyone as it is the duty of every Christian because Hell is a real place and God will put it on the heart of a born again Christian to bring the Good News (the gospel) to everyone that no one shall perish.

Mark 16:15 " And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature"

Home

Welcome to this site:

All have been called to sow seeds of the good news (Gospel) from Jesus Christ to those who the Lord brings to us.

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS

1. you are born into satan's kingdom! (2 cor 4:4)

2. REPENT And SEEK to enter God's kingdom (Matt 6:33)

The GOSPEL (good news) to eternal life.

Have FAITH in what Jesus did on the cross by the shedding of his blood and his resurrection from the dead (as it was prophesied) to pay the debt of our sins. (John 3:16)

REPENT....(Luke 13:3) A total change of mind, leave the sin and trust in the Lord.

Be BORN FROM ABOVE (born again) (John 3:3)

Live HOLY/OBEY (Hebrews 5:9)

ENDURE to the end. (Matthew 24:13)

Isaiah 5:3 "Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

We live in a world were followers of Jesus Christ(The Truth, the Way and the Life) are ridiculed.

Criminals are often treated as victims, conformity to the narrative is praised and questioning the current agenda is demonized,

Toxic injection are given for prevention of illness, indoctrination is called education, murder of the unborn is called "my choice" ,

and on and on it goes as Satan is the god of this world.

1 John 19 "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness".

We must break free from all this inversion and deception.

There is no peace the world can give .

Jesus said: "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed". John 8:36

Modest Dress

Fashion has become shameless and to the world it is normal to dress half naked.

As a follower of Jesus Christ you are a stranger in a strange land. Being able to fit into what the world expects to be normal will not be possible.

Count the cost and follow Christ.

Hebrews 12:1

"Wherefore seeing we also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

A lesson Learned

A sobering moment in this life which can draw reality of the spiritual world.

In the bible the word of God states:

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

1 Peter 5:8

During a morning walk with our two chickens (flossy and lietchen) at around 07;30 a walk we have done many times over the last two and a half years. We come across cats walking in the alley, pidgins’ flying over and dropping in to peck alongside the chickens, squirrels walking along the fence above our heads and listening to the sound of nature waking up. If there was anything which seemed out of the natural the chickens would make a clucking noise the issue would pass then back to pecking and scrapping. On this morning things were slightly different we had gone to the end of the alley and parked ourselves just around the corner, I was out of sight of the long alley but sitting looking at the chickens, side by side pecking and scraping. The next bit happened so fast its hard to relate as to what happened the chickens stopped doing what they were doing and simultaneously raised their heads and out of nowhere a fox was on top of Flossy it was so quick all I could mutter was a fox. Over the two and a half years no foxes have been seen in the secure alley which has locked gates at each end.

This we can see was a warning as to what can happen in this world in the physical can certainly happen in the spiritual.

Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Jesus said: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

John 10:10

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

1 Peter 5:8

It is a good reminder how quick the devil can destroy us in our daily walk with Jesus Christ. If we let any part of our armour slip the devil will get in and try to destroy you.

Sadly Flossy died as a result of the attack

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

Prov 12:10

Beast: = animal, livestock, herds.

Heavenly greetings to loved ones who have passed and the term RIP.

These are two statements that one sees regularly as you get older. I used to consider them as to being ok with no great thought to their actual relevance. Since being saved by the Lord and becoming born again the holy spirit inside winces especially when you hear, on a side track, terms like OMG, Jesus H Christ especially when used as a substitute for a cuss word. It doesn’t take much research to find the origin of the term RIP I will come back to that later in the text. The one that interests me most is the giving of heavenly greetings to those we love and have been separated from.

Some assumptions have to be made when you hear or see these words that the person giving them has a belief in heaven. Now I know this to be untrue in many cases because I know the individuals concerned. When an individual receives the invitation that we cannot refuse or be late for which is death. The last breath is held by the Lord and the bible says as long as we are here on this Earth , we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies ( sin, addictions, ….) to be conquered before we return home. The world is not our home; our citizenship is in heaven “the moment we take our last breath on Earth we take our first breath in heaven.” But how do we get to heaven? When we die and pass through the valley of the shadow of death there will be two paths one broad one and one narrow one. The narrow one is for those who have had a relationship and obeyed Christ the broad one is for those who haven’t and those who have been deceived by false teachers are destined for hell.

(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. ⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.,)) ,

So the question we have to ask ourselves, as we stand at the graveside or by the memorial tree, is , did the person who we are saying goodbye to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. For you to know that you would need to know what the gospel or good news of Jesus Christ is. To find that out you need to read the bible because it is clear, especially in the book of Matthew , who is destined for where. We do not make this decision we will be Judged and the decision will be made by our Lord and Master.

Another addition to the heavenly greetings is “we will be together again one day”. If you believe that your loved one is in heaven and not hell and you want to be with them again why would you not take the steps this side of the curtain to ensure you will gain righteous entrance through the correct (narrow) gate

^{Matthew 7:13} Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: ¹⁴ Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

, and there are many verses in the Bible that indicate that this will be true we will be together with those who have passed through the curtain and followed the correct path.

It is quite clear that, those who have turned from their sin and put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation will be together with their loved ones who have done the same.

Otherwise your words are like clanging symbols to the ears of the Lord. We are to encourage those who have not been born again to take that step and have confidence that you will be on the correct path, there is no gamble the decision is heaven or hell. ( the devil owns the fence) Remember we all have families and we have a very romantic imagination and at most funerals the nature is only to select what good we have seen in a person but remember God sees all and he will Judge. Please if you believe the person you send the greetings to is in heaven then repent, turn away from your sins and become born again. Hell is for eternity!

Unprofitable Servant

In Luke 17:10 we read:

"So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."

All Glory belongs to God. None of us are worthy of redemption. We were not a special nice person and that's why the Lord chose us.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe that in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Everybody! He came for all humans.

Jesus alone is the profitable servant. The blameless Lamb.

In Matthew 16:27 it reads:

"For the Son of man shall come in glory of his Father with his angels; and than he shall reward every man according to his works."

God Almighty will give rewards even so we do not deserve them. Without God we can do nothing. God is crowning His own gifts.

The Bible declares that when we arrive in heaven, we will “be like him [Jesus]; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). Just as our earthly bodies were of the first man Adam, so will our resurrection bodies be just like Christ’s (1 Corinthians 15:47). “And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:49, 53). Many people recognized Jesus after His resurrection (John 20:16, 20; 21:12; 1 Corinthians 15:4-7). If Jesus was recognizable in His glorified body, we also will be recognizable in our glorified bodies. Being able to see our eternal family is a glorious aspect of heaven, but heaven is far more about God, and far less about us. What a pleasure it will be to be reunited with our brothers and sisters in Christ and worship God with them for all eternity.

James 4:7

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Christians can have demons:

The deception that Christians cannot have demons is like sayig a Christian cannot be sick: a Christian can have demons. Christians are sometimes offended by the fact and say “the Holy Spirit dwells in me there cannot be demons”. It is true, demons cannot dwell in the spirit of a born again believer. The spirit that is made new, in an instant, when we come to Christ. But we also have a soul; which is where demons can dwell.

As the enemy can and does come as an angel of light and can do false signs and wonders this might be as well a reason that many Christians shy away from this subject. As spiritualists can use "white magic" against "black magic" and are in the false believe that is how they get rid of "bad spirits".

This is of course the occult and has nothing to do with God Almighty and his Word which clearly forbids all forms of occult.

"Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them:I am the Lord" Leviticus 19:13

That set aside, Satan did not lose his power or authority when he was cast down to earth. His power is second only to Jesus Christ and is often underestimated. We know were he goes in the end as it is written:

" Yet you (Lucifer) shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit. Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying:"Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shock kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?" Isaiah 14:15-17

Unlike our Heavenly Father Satan is neither omnipresent nor omniscient. His power is limited but he has help from many spirits or fallen angles

"And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion:for we are many." Mark 5:9

A Legion has about 6,000 men. Demons have no physical form and seek to dwell in humans or animals. A believer who is born again has the Word of God as his solid foundation and has the best protection from the enemy; as any attack can be counteracted with the word of God. Which is our Sword.

But as stated in the beginning Christians CAN be demonised in their soul which consists of the mind, our will and emotions. The only way to get rid of them is to drive (cast) them out and than to resist the devil and follow Jesus.
