Does God's Will For Immigration Stay Is Personal To Us And Our Family?







I Should Leave By Giving Up Everything Or Stay?

Question : We are under attack by the British authority, as they question my right to be in England. I am Italian and have been here since 1981. When I first became a Christian I was give Isaiah 41: 9 to 11, we now know that we are the wilderness church, but we can no longer believe in the promises God made to protect and fight on our behalf, as the British people have shown us much hatred and hostility over the past 18 years, we know that God has defended us in the past but we do not have the faith to believe anymore in his promises. Do you think we should just give up on everything and leave?

Answer : Praise the Lord! Greetings to you in Jesus name! God says in His Word, "26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" (Acts 17:26-28).  In the above verse we see that God has individually marked the boundaries of the nations of the world, and the people who will be born and die in it or immigrate to other countries, so that in their lifetime on earth they could be able to seek by groping for Him and find the Lord their Creator to become a friend with Him for eternity ahead. From this we can deduce that God has a perfect place for you to live in His Presence in the perfect will of God that He has foreplanned for you and your family already. So just make sure by seeking the Lord that you are in His perfect will for your life and family. Running to greener pastures might not be always right especially when you are tested by God spiritually like He tested Lot who was Abraham's accomplice and Lot failed God's test miserably (Gen 13:7-10). While Lot chose for himself greener pastures in spite of knowing the moral bankruptcy, exceeding wicked and sinful life of godless people living in it who were all living a lifestyle against the Lord, Abraham by faith trusted in the prosperity of being in the will of God to stay in the place where God has told him to rather than in where he wanted to naturally stay by his own decision apart from God (Gen 13:11-13). To stay in the will of God is more important spiritually, than to choose to enjoy some temporal comfort that might become a stumbling block to our eternal blessing of ecstasy and life of joy with God.   

"Stand firm against him [i.e. the Devil and his evil demons], and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are." (1 Peter 5:9, NLT). In your strength you cannot fight the battle, let go and let God do the talking on your behalf. Just say to the Lord, 'I know all things are under your control, whatever is your will for my life and family, I give in to your hand. Take control of it all and lead my way and strengthen me to do your will for my life. In Jesus Name! AMEN.' Here is the promise that God has given to you and your are holding by faith, " 9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you, ‘ You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ 11 “ Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. " (Isa 41:9-11). O what a wonderful promise God has given to you, it is more a reality of God's help that you can depend on in this crisis that you are going through than it has even been.

Do not be discouraged, hold on to that promise He has given you personally. If you do not lose heart, the rewards are much greater than you can imagine in this earth and also in the life to come (Heb 10:35-36). I would tell you to tell all this problems you have to God and wait for a time in His Presence, as you have prayed the above prayer, God will give you peace supernaturally and after that do not resist anything or claim your rights for defense as God peace in your heart ensures that God will fight on your behalf and He will lead you in His perfect will (1 Peter 5:7; Php 4:6-7; 1 Peter 2:18-25; Rom 13:1-7). Let go of yourself and let God! The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace (Psa 24:1; Exod 14:14). It is not a passive decision when we give in to the will of God, it is the most active and wise decision we can take on this side of eternity because it puts the Lord and His power to fight and work on our behalf and be in control of every problems we are facing in our life. Having said all of it, meditate upon these above promises and allow the Lord to speak to you. Once you understand the will of God, no matter how hard you may feel in the natural, by supernatural strength from above, give in to it and keep standing on the will of God for your life (Rom 12:1-2). Because later in your life you will come to understand, how the will of God has impacted your life for eternity, and have blessed you and your family to be effective agents in the Kingdom of God (Matt 6:33; Mark 10:29-30).

If it is God's will that you should leave, I would tell that you would be more blessed than ever to leave and stay where God leads you in His will. Cause the Canaan is a land that looks towards heaven for its sustenance as there are no Nile to depend on, but God makes milk and honey to flow in it not because of its natural ability to produce, but because where His Presence is, that is where Canaan really is (Deut 11:8-15). So I pray that the Lord might strengthen your heart to do His will for your life (Psa 31:24; 1 Thess 3:13).

Much Blessings....

Why Did God Punish Humans When Satan Is The Cause Of Sin?






Why God Should Destroy His Own Creation When He Is A Good God?


Question : Because of our sin nature it is very difficult keep our body as a Temple of God? We did not fall into sin by our self, we were cheated by Satan and so he was the guilty one and not we. Do you see any differently than this? It is not a righteous justice I think from God, because God had known everything about the fall of Lucifer and his rebellious angels even when He created them and knew that they will all one day take side with him against Him and also against us humans who are made in the image of God. Why I say it because God is omniscient to know the end from the beginning itself and that is why we call Him omniscient. To me it looks like a game which was planned by God. I think punishment in the lake of fire should belong to Satan and his evil angels, and not for us humans. Why human should be punished? Why he created humans? Why destroy his own creation which is in this world? Why did he let Satan to live since he became Satan, if God had finished Satan at that movement itself when he sinned, there would have been no sufferings in this world. I have doubt about all these things. May be I am wrong but I have to ask this because this matter is always questioning me to think logically and decide where the fault line is.

Answer : It is true that we have a sin nature that lures us to sin because it works in direct opposition to the new nature that will help us stay in God's holiness (Gal 5:17). The antidote to sin nature is walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit is supplying spiritual food of God through meditating in the Word of God, prayer, praise, thankful heart, singing songs to the Lord, desiring and loving to walk in God's will and righteousness by faith, hating lawlessness, etc...to the spirit that will empower the new nature within us to make it deny the lust of the flesh when it tries to overcome it (Gal 5:16). Walking in the old nature of sin by feeding the self will only empower the pull of sin to make the work of the flesh evident (Gal 5:19-21), but because we are Christ's, we have crucified the flesh with its passion and desires when Jesus was crucified on behalf of us (Gal 5:24). So even though sin might make us fall whenever we try to walk the Christian life by our own strength, but it cannot have dominion over us to make us indefinitely do its own will because the Spirit quietly comes back to help us after we have confessed our mistake to God as we belong to Christ (Gal 5:18; Rom 6:14; Jam 4:6-7). So the bottom line is, though it is impossible to maintain our body in holiness as the Temple of God in our own strength, it can be easily done when we are in partnership with God and know that the One who is in us is greater then the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4; Luke 18:27).

You are right and it is true that we were cheated by Satan and he was one of the main guilty one, that is why God cursed Satan more than anyone who is under the curse of sin (Gen 3:14-15; Job 1:7). But God graciously allowed the woman Eve who was deceived by Satan only to experience the curse of sorrow and conception, pain while giving birth and husband ruling over her and nothing more than that (Gen 3:16). And also God did not directly curse Adam like he did for Satan for his deception, instead again God graciously only cursed the ground which yielded herb for eating much less than what it can and then that curse made Adam to toil and shed his sweat of the face to produce only enough bread for daily existence because of the weeds of thorns and thistles which made life very difficult for him and his descendants until physical death (Gen 3:17-19). So God rightly have given out his judgment and there is no partiality with him (Rom 2:11; Acts 10:34; Psa 9:8). Satan as the deceiver was judged first by God and then He pronounced His righteous judgment upon Even and then Adam. Clearly the Bible says that Adam our forefather sinned and sin entered the world of humans, so once sin have entered in to world of humanity bringing death to all, all have sinned by sin nature taking root in humans, and therefore humans by their ability to take conscious decisions have become responsible for further sin even though in their sinful state they have become powerless against it (Rom 5:12, 6).

Even though Satan cheated humans through his deceit, yet the fall of Adam was a conscious decision to disobey God's clear command (Gen 2:15-17). Because it was a conscious decision and a direct rebellion to God's commandment, the punishment for sin came upon all the sons and daughters of Adam (Rom 5:12). Sin gets conceived in the heart of men, and so to allow it to rule over us, we become responsible for the sin we do (James 1:12-16). Satan for having deceived humans have been judged by God on the Cross already and is waiting for the execution of it where He will send Satan once and for all time in to the lake of fire for eternity ahead after the Millennium rule of Jesus Christ (Gen 3:13-15; Col 2:15; Rev 12:12; 20:10). So we as humans are individually responsible for our sins and God will judge each humans for their sins and mistakes one day, but those who have believed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will not be judged for their sins because Jesus was judged by God on their behalf, and so they will be judged for their good works to get reward (Heb 9:26-28). Those who do not have Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will be judged for their sins, and will spend their time in the lake of fire which was actually prepared initially for Satan and his rebellious angels who did not submit to God but wanted to fulfill their own will without Him (Matt 25:41, 46). To God any person have a personal choice to either say to Him, 'Thy will be done and go on to be with Him in heaven for eternity' or say 'My will be done and go on to spend time without God and His Presence in hell fire which was actually prepared for the devil and his cohorts who wanted to do their own will apart from God's will.'

Just because God is omniscient and know the end from the beginning doesn't mean that he has influenced anybody to take any decision to sin (Isa 46:10; Jam 1:13). He is like a Divine Movie director who knows the end of the story because it is He who has written it, but in this real life story, the actors by their own will they take decisions to participate both in the good or bad part of it by their personal choice. God knew about Satan's fall much before it happened (Isa 54:16), but as a God who in His Sovereign will had written the story line before hand (1 Peter 1:20; Rev 13:8; 4:11; Eph 1:4-6), He knew that in spite of the personal cost of giving up His own Son Jesus to die for humans who will come to be tempted and fall in to sin because of Satan and his demonic minions (Rom 8:32), He chose to reveal His Glory through us humans through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the real hero of the whole story along with us who have become the sons of God to redeem the earth and give a happy ending to it all (1 Cor 2:7; Col 1:27; Rom 8:14, 19; Php 3:21). A game is an activity that one engages in for amusement or entertainment, but life is not a game because God already had a purpose for creating the earth and everything in it, and that purpose was to find Himself who hides Himself though He is closer to all humans than the air they breathe because they exist in Him (Isa 45:18-19, 15; Acts 17:26-28). The purpose of finding God is no entertainment like a game because the outcome of it will decide where a human will live the rest of their eternity, either in hell fire where there will be no trace of God because of God withdrawing His Presence or in heaven where God will fully reveal Himself to all those who dwell there for eternity (Matt 25:41, 46; 2 Thess 1:8-9; Mark 9:47-48; Rev 20:11-15; John 14:21; Isa 65:1).

Actually the lake of fire according to God has been made beforehand for Satan and his demonic cohorts who have sinned and rebelled against God, but those who want to join Satan and do not want God by living for themselves will end up there in that hell fire by their own choice. We cannot ask God why He created humans cause we did not create Him but He created us and has sovereign rights over us (Rom 9:19-23), we should accept that in His will He has created us to find and know Him intimately (Rom 9:16; John 17:3). Rather than God destroying His own creation, actually our sins make Him do something that He doesn't like to do; because justice has to be fulfilled through a just God who rules over all His creation without partiality (Isa 45:7; Ezek 18:23, 26-27; Deut 32:4; Psa 7:11; 11:5). As you wrongly assume, if God lets his creation to do evil as it wants without ever judging to destroy the wicked, the world will become a living hell uninhabitable because of the wickedness of humans and that is what happened at the time of Noah before God judged the whole world righteously by destroying it by the worldwide flood (Gen 6:11, 12-13).

God allowed Satan to live since He became Satan and did not destroy him because God wanted to test humans through this evil being who challenged God to let the humans on their own if He is really a righteous God and see how they turn again Him and will curse Him to His face, but Job the righteous man proved that Satan's challenge to God was because of his own jealousy over God's righteousness and His deep intimate relationship with humans (Job 1:6-12, 20; 2:1-10; 42:10-17). Without an evil villain, God's creative story line would not have been so interesting as you see nearly in all the movies. So suffering in this world is God's megaphone through which God makes people notice that He is present to solve their problem and be their friend. Ultimately God wants to bring His goodness to the whole of humanity and bless them in every way very soon, and that is why Jesus Christ came in to this world first to save people from their sins and then bless people apart from sin for their righteousness of faith for eternity ahead (Gal 3:13-14; Matt 1:21; Heb 9:28). Praise the Lord!

No matter what doubt you have, turn to the Bible with faith to read it and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten His Word, it has all the answers for this life, and in the life to come giving meaning and purpose for our human existence. Doubt your doubt, but never the Word of God. Satan wants to create doubt and make you ineffective in your Christian life and living. The fault line is always with us humans who with the glass of sin see God and then call it as logical thinking to decide wrongly that God is not good or at least not fully. Such thoughts completely destroy the faith of God and cause worries that causes more doubts and confusion in our life and through us in others. So I pray that you may read the Word of God daily to grow in faith and glorify God with your life because He is always good though you may not always feel that way (Rom 10:17; Psa 145:9; 73:1; 135:3).

Has God Forgiven Our Future And Present Sins Already?







If Our Future Sins Are Already Forgiven, Why Should Jesus And The Apostles Bring It Up Again?

Question : If God has pronounced your future sins forgiven in the same way He has pronounced your past sins forgiven, why do Paul and other New Testament writers address these very sins in their letters, and why does Jesus address them in Revelation 2-3? We know that God doesn't bring our past sins up to us, since He has forgiven and "forgotten" them. Why then does He bring our present sins up to us in the New Testament, even warning us about the dangers of walking in those sins, if they have also been forgiven and forgotten in advance?

Answer : Greetings! This is a very important question that you have asked. First of all there is a lack of understanding about the New Covenant prevalent right through out the Body of Christ which is actually bringing confusion and shakes the faith of saints many times.

Here is what God has said about His forgiveness that he has done for every believer who has believed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, "14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds,“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin." (Heb 10:16-18). In this above verses the writer of the Book of Hebrews affirms to all believers that the one offering of Jesus has made all believers worthy partakers to be forever separated for God's use and that the new promises that God has made with them through Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior is that He Himself will put His laws in to their hearts and in their spiritual mind He will write it, because their sins and lawless deeds of their past, present and future are all forgiven by God and will never be remembered by God anymore. He finally is telling us that when God has already forgiven all these sins there is no more sacrifice needed for any of it anymore time in the future.

This is the reason apostle Paul confidently writes in Eph 4:32, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." In other words Paul was speaking about the past, present and future sins of believers as something God in Christ has already forgiven it all because he was speaking it in past tense rather than in present or future tense which shows the fact that God has indeed forgiven all our sins completely in Christ Jesus two thousand years ago itself as God in His foresight has seen that we will accept Jesus in our 20 and 21st century times. The same truth apostle Paul repeats in Col 3:13. Apostle Peter says this truth in past tense too by saying in 1 Peter 2:24, "who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed." There is no clearer verse needed than what we have seen Peter the apostle speak saying, "Because we have died to sins forever as Jesus on behalf of us bore all our sins of our past, present and future in His own body on the tree, and now that we have completely died to sins, let us live for righteousness by receiving the healing power of His stripes which heals all our diseases of sins and sicknesses in the present time and future time progressively." (1 Peter 2:24, Paraphrased).

Jesus in Revelation 2-3 addresses and warns about the dangers of walking in sins, also Paul and other apostles consistently were speaking against being involved in sins because they all wanted all the believers not to miss the heavenly reward that God has promised for all those who walk in faith and live a overcoming life of victory over sin and self (Rev 22:12; Col 3:23-24; Eph 6:7-8). Apostle Peter reminded about the truth of overcoming life for fruitful growth in the faith for inheriting the heavenly inheritance that God has already prepared for us (1 Peter 1:5-11; 1 Peter 1:3-9, 13-17; 2:11-12; 3:8-12, 17; 4:17-19; 5:4). The same way apostle James also spoke about the reward for every believer who overcomes and therefore warned about the dangers of sin and the power of faith to overcome it (James 1:2, 5-8, 25; 2:18, 20, 22-23, 26; 4:5-10; 5:10-11, 16-18, 19-20).

So when the Word of God says that God doesn't bring our sins up to us anymore after we have become His children, it includes our past, present and even future sins, since He has forgiven and "forgotten" them (Psa 103:3, 12; 32:1-2; Rom 4:5-8; Isa 43:25; 44:22; Heb 10:16-18). Therefore God does not bring our present sins or even our future sins up to us in the New Testament, but rather loves us so much that He warns of the dangers of sin so that we will not miss our reward that He has prepared for us because of becoming ineffectual spiritually due to entertaining sin which God hates and thus missing the reward for it to be given to someone else who deserves it (Rev 3:11).

God has forgiven and forgotten our sins in advance and that is the reason He has become our friend forever to be for us and with us forever and ever in the Beloved Christ Jesus (John 15:14-16; Rom 8:31; Eph 1:5-7, 13-14; Heb 13:5-6; James 2:22-23). This first forgiveness that comes to us when we receive Jesus Christ in to our life as our Lord and Savior is Union-Forgiveness which means it stays the same on behalf of God towards us unchanged for all eternity through His promises in Christ Jesus made towards us.

Having said all these things, yet when we as believers sin in our daily life, we have to confess to God that we have sinned and believe that He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness to maintain the fellowship we have with our Father in heaven (1 John 1:6-7, 9). God cannot fellowship with us in our sin when we sin and stay without confessing it to Him, because He is a holy God and it is against His nature to overlook sin, and so as soon as possible we should run to Him and confess it to Him and be cleansed in our conscience to again fellowship with Him in joy and serve Him as a living sacrifice to the Lord which is the only reasonable service we can provide our Father in Heaven (Heb 9:14; Rom 12:1; Eph 2:8-10; 1 John 1:3-4). This second thing that we saw is the Fellowship forgiveness that needs to be appropriated whenever we sin, so that our fellowship with God can get restored once we confess our sin to Him.

The truth is, union-promises brings us in to eternal salvation (John 3:16; Heb 5:9), fellowship promises brings us in to the blessing of salvation which is our present effective spiritual lives and future reward of our inheritance that is waiting for us in heaven (Heb 6:7, 9-12). The two cannot be mixed with each other to confuse the believers to become fearful instead of being fruitful.

Has God Forgiven Already Even Our Disappointments We Give Him?







Is There Anything You Can Do To Disappoint The Lord?



Question : Is there anything you can do to disappoint the Lord? If the Lord always sees you as perfect in His sight, is there any way for you to disappoint Him? I've heard it said that we can only grieve or disappoint Him by not trusting His grace, but according to your message, hasn't that sin been forgiven as well?

Answer : We can do nothing more to disappoint the Lord than not believe His Word and live in unbelief, because God Himself has revealed in His Word that He is pleased only with our faith (Heb 11:6). The sin that God calls and considers as great evil is the sin of unbelief (Heb 3:12). Faith can come in to us when we hear the Word of God which God quickens and speaks within us to our heart personally (Rom 10:17). A few devoted Jews at the time of Jesus' ministry thought that by doing something, they could please God and get His favor to do some great work for God and asked Jesus, "28 ..., “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” (John 6:28). To such misconception "Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”" (John 6:29). In other words Jesus was saying to these people and all the people of the religious world that wanted to please God that if they believe in Jesus whom God has sent to speak the very words of God to prove that He is the one who was spoken by the whole Old Testament Scriptures as the one who is going to come, then God automatically gets pleased by seeing that they are believing God's final messenger, Savior and the Messiah in obedience to God. Thus when someone does not believe Jesus, that is the biggest disappointment to the Lord because the Lord knows that they cannot be brought to personal friendship with Himself without their faith in Jesus (1 Tim 2:3-4).

God knows the end from the beginning, because He is like a Divine Movie director who has written the story line from the beginning to the end of this world and also the end of this present earth (Isa 46:10; 2 Peter 3:5-12). Just because He knows the end from the beginning doesn't mean that God has no emotions to feel sad when people make bad choices. God has not destroyed evil until now in judgment because He loves every human being who are made by Him in His image (James 3:9), though they are marred by sin still He wants every human being to repent from sin and come in to relationship with Him and receive His forgiveness, or else why should He sincerely desire and wait for them (1 Tim 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9)? So just because God knows the end because of His Divine Foresight doesn't make Him any less emotional than He is to feel the sadness when his offer is rejected and rejoice in great happiness when He finds people saved from sin and come in to friendship with Him (Luke 15:7, 20, 32). If we humans do express so much emotions after someone sick dies at the appointed time the doctor's said by their diagnosis, how much more God who is the "Father of all human spirits" in whose likeness we are created will feel bad when people reject salvation even though He knows the end of someone from the beginning (Heb 12:9; Eph 4:6).

Then Grace wasted will also disappoint God but that will never frustrate Him from giving more grace if the person who has wasted it all comes back to ask for and receive more grace from Him (1 Cor 15:10; 2 Cor 6:1; Rom 5:20). God has unlimited grace with Him and He is the richest person in the universe, He wants to show His benevolence to all His human children who come to Him in repentance. In fact He is eager to give His grace than we are to receive it.

Even the disappointment that we give to God by wasting His grace has been once and for all time forgiven by Him at the Cross of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 5:7; Heb 10:12, 14), that is why God now only corrects by punishing His children whom He loves, but never is angry against them for their sin as He has already forgiven them all (Heb 12:6; Rom 3:25-26; Isa 54:9; Eph 4:32). When all our sins are already forgiven by God, there is no more sacrifice to be done anymore except freely give ourselves as a living sacrifice to Him in service (Heb 10:15-18; Rom 12:1-2).

The Lord sees us as perfect in Christ Jesus, so that we might have the liberty to give ourselves freely to be filled with His grace and be used for Him in willing service without any fear in love. The Lord through His mighty grace is able to make a turn around anytime we give ourselves fully to Him in every area of our life, and thus He is able to make even the disappointments we have given to Him in to an appointment for the future humility in our Character to be built and be used in much more effective way as though we have never lost anything at all by our failures in pleasing God (1 Tim 1:15; 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:6-10; 2 Peter 1:9-10).

Power Of Brain Vs Power Of God, Which Prevails In Your Life?







Please Explain How To Move From Self-Motivation To Move In To God's Empowerment?

Question : Practically, it is very difficult to keep our 'SELF' in DEATH by FAITH in THE DEATH of LORD JESUS CHRIST. We mostly use the Power of our Muscles and of our Brain in our SELF-BODY, to face any Challenge or a Problem we come across in our day-to-day Life. Pl explain how to tackle these type of Self motivated activities, Apostle.

Answer : You are right, it might seem difficult to keep our self in death by our faith in the death of our Lord Jesus who is our substitute for us, but faith is like a spark that increases the fire and make it aflame as we keep trying to spark it up often. Once our faith becomes ablaze by the power of the Holy Spirit, then it spreads and fills our entire being with more and more power of the Holy Spirit. Faith will keep coming as we keep the word of God inside us, and always God quickens that Word to speak to our spirit within us. When God speaks and we hear it all things positively will happen, that is with self too, it dies when God starts to speak a personal a word within the word to us and it will work supernaturally within us. This God's heavenly fire power that comes in to our entire being through faith will lift us up above self motivation to God's empowerment of a victorious life over self.

A fight is needed to increase in spiritual strength and for maintaining the Quality of our Inner Man and also value our Relationship with God. So by Divine providence the death to self doesn't happen in our lives in a day or two or even a year, but it takes a life time of fight in this side of eternity to forever be established in that side of eternity in our afterlife.

So we patiently grow from faith to faith day by day, month by month, year by year...until the end of our life (Rom 1:17), and we receive the power of God's grace upon grace day by day, month by month, year by year...until the end of our life (John 1:16) and finally we shine forth and are transformed in to the same image of the glory of the Lord from glory to glory day by day, month by month, year by year...until the end of our life (Rom 12:2).

We cannot bring self to death without God, God will not do it without us. In partnership with God to go through the process together day by day, month by month, year by year...until the end of our life, we can keep self and sin at bay to reveal the power of heaven perfectly for the Glory of God (Mark 10:27; Rom 8:3-4).

Say it out loud, 'I am dead to sin and self, because Christ died for me to bring it to an end and put a full stop to both of it forever.' This faith is victory, so die daily!

Will God Again Remold And Make The Mess In To Something New And Satisfy?







My Heart Is Heavy, I Want God Talk To Me?



Question : Hello brother!! It's been almost two years, I wrote to you.

The dreams haven't come to pass and I'm so confused now. Not sure what to do. Five years have gone by since I had the dream I shared with you earlier. One Ronaldo has come with the dream, he also had backed off because his family is against it. They are ready to kill him, but they won't let us marry. Recently I told him, we can break up since nothing is working out and daily we have no peace at all.

My heart is heavy as I write this. I'm not able to forget him now. I feel my life is fully messed up. From adolescent I always wanted to just think of only one man whom I will be marrying and no one else. Now I feel my life is in bits and pieces. And in this stage, my elder sister lost her husband. The pain is heavy in my heart. I want God to talk to me but am not sure if I'm hearing him or not. My sins are hiding him I think.

Please pray and advice me!! I need emotional and spiritual help. Brother.. Please pray and reply me.

Answer :
Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name! So glad to write to you again. God cannot lie, if you have tried to fulfill God given dream you would have failed constantly in your pursuit or else the dream itself would have been not from God but rather would have been from your self (Titus 1:2; Num 23:19; Acts 7:23-25; Ezek 13:3; Eccl 5:3, NIV; Eccl 5:7, NIV). Satan's attack on us has been to deceive us into thinking that God will "endorse" our own dreams, passions, and desires if we hold onto them dearly and have enough "faith". If it is God's dream, He doesn't need our help to fulfill it. It will comes to pass in the right time and we will also feel joyful in waiting for it to happen no matter how long it will takes for God's set time to come (1 Peter 1:8). Self-indulgent desire many times mislead us in to having hope that is "on shifting sand" and is really no hope at all--but makes us move in to a deceptive zone of delusion, rebellion, and disobedience towards God (Prov 13:12). Then we sin by our own desire and lose ourselves in our own self life rather than in God to please Him through our sacrificial life of dying to self and living to God (Luke 9:23). So in your case the latter described earlier has happened.

But thank God that all the penalty for your sins of past, present and future sins have all been paid by Jesus and that is why He assured you before dying on the Cross saying, "Paid in full!," so that you can be free from all condemnation of the evil one that denies you to go to God freely (John 19:30; Rom 8:1). Just take this way, whatever happened has happened. Nothing could be done for those days. The Bible clearly says that all intimacy should be within marriage only, and outside of it love that is physical, emotional and spiritual should never be stirred up (1 Cor 7:2, 9; Sos 2:7). So confess to the Lord your faults and believe that He is faithful to forgive you and above all cleanse you from all unrighteousness that has happened in your life. Tell it to the Lord clearly of how much heavy your heart is, that problem that you had in forgetting things of your past relationship and then from being a little girl how you have always dreamt about just one person and no one else, Jesus understands every little thing that you have been going through (1 Peter 5:6-7). As you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you (James 4:7-8). When you are sharing your heavy heart with God, that is when you have truly chosen to draw near to God. It does not mean that God does not know the information you share until you tell Him as He is omniscient and knows all things from beginning to end even before something begin to happen, but it does mean that the moment you start to share with Him heart to heart, you are legally seeking God's help to intervene and solve all the problems of your lives situation by drawing near to Him in faith and He has promised to draw near to you to solve it all and cement His relationship with you further because of your faith. All the broken bits and pieces of your life, He will take it and remold it to make it something new right in the center of the will of God for your life (Rom 12:1-2).

After this process is done, know that God has thrown all your failings, weaknesses and wasted time to a infinite distance from His sight to no more remember it forever so that you can have fellowship with Him freely and intimately, to do His will willingly further in your life by letting Him take charge of your life and future (Psa 103:12; 40:8). When God Himself has chosen to forget all the wrongs of your past life, you should choose to forget it so that you can be free from all the condemnation of the evil one. Throw all those past in to spiritual garbage bag and bin in Jesus name and choose to remember only the goodness of the Lord through it all. 

I understand how much your Sister losing her husband must have caused a great pain to their family and also to you personally. But I know that God will not allow you all to be tempted beyond your ability to bear it, but with all these problems no matter what reason it has come towards you, the Lord will give His mighty grace to handle it victoriously and use it all for your good when you love Him and continue to follow the call of God in your life (1 Cor 10:13; 2 Cor 12:9-10; Rom 8:28).

God is never surprised by your failures because He knows your great end from the beginning and knows that you will come through it all by positively believing His good plans (Acts 15:18; Isa 46:10; Jer 29:11). At this juncture He loves you as much as He loved you before you ever did anything wrong consciously in your entire life (Jer 31:3; Rom 9:11-13).

Don't try to make things going for yourself, regarding your marriage, keep it all to the Lord and let the Lord lead you to the right person through His Sovereign hand. The Lord is the one who brought Eve to Adam in the Garden of Eden, like that the Lord will lead you to the right person whom He has already chosen for you (Gen 2:22). God is the God of all peace and so in His will He will make both the parents of the bride and the groom from both sides agree together to make things possible regarding your marriage so that it will happen for His Glory (Rom 16:20). If in the present case, all chaos has come I think because you have taken things in your own hand before time, leave it all together to the Lord and also discuss things with your parents and spiritual counselors whom you can trust with, whom God can use to be a blessing to you in this regard, and also who can with the right spiritual judgment can find the right person for you (1 Cor 7:38). As you commit your life to the Lord completely, I pray that the Lord might show Himself strong on your behalf and help you continue to trust Him so that you will be a testimony of His goodness in the coming days to many many more who will come to trust Him. God loves you and will be with you no matter what to help you become complete and satisfied in your soul within Him as you are already complete in Him in the spiritual realm (Col 2:10). Victory is yours for the taking and making if you choose to positively believe God and obey the voice of His Word that comes to you through His Spirit and that which is also heard loudly in your spirit I believe. Only believe and all things are possible I believe! 

Much Blessings......

Is The LGBT The Final Order Of Sin?







Will God Not Forgive A LGBT Even If They Ask For Forgiveness?

Question : Will God not forgive a LGBT even if they ask for forgiveness? Well in that case God hates lies and stealing etc.. Those are sins too! I know a God who is forgiving and willing to accept even homosexuals if they come to him!

What is it we as a Church do to let them feel accepted? The minute someone has a tattoo on or is different from how 'church goers' look like we shut doors for them, but that isn't what Jesus did! All I'm saying is the same way you accept me into your family there should be room for people in your house/church to find restoration with the father.. In the end all God wants is a relationship with us!

The reason I said this is because of the way people comment about the LGBT within the Church community....Doesn't seem like they would have the heart to accept such people!

I am standing for the truth.. But love you show and speak about is superficial! God went to dine with Zaccheaus when he was in sin.. Not when he left everything. I think you are assuming that they will never change, without giving them a chance. I would not want to argue with you but I do not understand the Gospel you preach when God says above all is Love.. Where is the love? I hate the sin, but I love the sinner! A lie is a sin and so is homosexuality.. Don't treat it like homosexuality is a greater sin!!

Answer : I think you have understood it in parts. As a whole, If some asks for forgiveness by believing Jesus, then they are considered as someone who is repenting and God says that Kingdom of God belongs to them as they have with child-like faith have accepted God's offer. Those who have not repented are those who are going towards a dead end road. Yes when God forgives a homosexual or any other sinner of any type, He forgives their past, present and even future sins. Then they are born again as His very own child and will continue to live with God forever. For a child of God who sins, he need to confess that sin to God and get restored in fellowship with God. A child of God cannot continue to sin indefinitely without remorse because the convictor who is the Holy Spirit lives in them and does convict them to repent when ever they sin.

You are talking about the physical Church, but God is not just having Church but a Kingdom. It is He who forgives those who repent by seeing the sincere heart of the seeker. God is not in need of relationship, but people who will believe Him and please Him by obeying His Word. So do not mix both, a person who believes in Jesus and is born again will go to heaven and be in His Kingdom even though he might not have even stepped in to the Church. Yes I understand that there is a big seeker friendly Churches that have led people to stay and scratch their back without ever insisting that repentance is needed to find Jesus and go to heaven. What is the use? It is the blind leading the blind in to the ditch by playing with eternity. I also understand that a balance is needed not to judge a new seeker of Jesus but rather let them understand the full gospel of repentance that God wants to become His People. Jesus was judged for people's sin so that they could become free from sin. Repentance is an attitude of heart that comes with a decision to accept that we are sinners and accept that we have sinned against God when we actually do, it is not stop doing sin altogether as we human do not have the power to stop it altogether or else we do not need a Savior to save us from our sins. We do not sin just because we are sinners, we are sinners because we are born that way. Only Jesus Christ save us from all sins including LGBT and could help us overcome sin and stay victorious in this life as a repentant follower of Him. So God expects all humans including the LGBT to first repent, that is accept themselves as sinners and Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then get saved from sin for eternity ahead.

THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS, NOT A CLUB HOUSE FOR SOCIAL HIGH TIME AND FUN. In that way, each True Church of Jesus Christ will have an agenda for the true seekers to be reached...in whatever way they can.

I believe that you have not understood the gospel at all. Never once did Jesus agree with the sin of people, love went as far as reaching them out to make them realize that they need repentance. Here is what Jesus said when people died due to uprising against government and fall of towers, "There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”" (Luke 13:1-5). Do you think, He is telling to us in this generation some different gospel? Zacchaeus repented with his whole heart and as a result of it Jesus said to him that salvation has come to his house, Jesus knew much before it happened that this man was sincerely seeking for salvation so Jesus went to his house (John 2:24). GOD DOES LOVE ALL SINNERS, BUT HE WANTS THEM ALL TO REPENT AND ONLY THEN HE COULD RECEIVE THEM (John 3:16). That is why when the lost prodigal son was in to all kind of sin, the father did not go after him chasing him to every place, instead He stayed in His Home and expected His son to return home. But once the lost son repented and turned towards Him, he ran towards Him in compassion and love to welcome and embrace him in to His Presence forever (Luke 15:20-21). Understand that the true love of God "does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth." (1 Cor 13:6). When you are speaking about any other love than this real Love of God, it is a false love that does not consider both the goodness of God's love and severity of God towards sin at the same time (Rom 11:22). The goodness of God's love and grace always leads us to repentance and will give us victory over all circumstances of sin again and again in our life to make us a overcomer in this world by faith (Rom 2:3; Titus 2:11-12; 1 John 5:4). Those who speak about a powerless gospel that accepts sinners without repentance is something of a deception that turns the grace of God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ, from such people apostle Paul has clearly told us all to turn away (Jude 1:4; 2 Tim 3:5-9).

The whole world at the time of Noah was not willing to repent and turn towards God to believe what He says and obey Him except eight person, you know that only those eight person of the Noah's household were saved (1 Peter 3:20). I do not expect you to agree with me, but do agree with the Bible and stand on God's side, that is why I take so much effort to explain to you from the Scripture.

In our day, we are challenged by God through Jesus to follow Noah's example of perfect obedience or at least be born-again at least like the righteous Lot (Luke 17:26-33). Sodom and Gomorrah being turned in to ashes for its sexually sinfulness and ungodly living is a example to our end time generation that is living ungodly lives with all filthy conduct, of which the top most thing is homosexuality (2 Peter 2:4-8). I believe if we are truly righteous with a righteous soul that beats for Jesus, we will be tormented like Lot in our day to day life on earth in our generation, and much more than that we will be in intercession and prayer for the salvation of the lost LGBT souls, seeing and hearing the lawless deeds of all those people around us (2 Peter 2:8). Thank God, that it will not continue with us forever like this because the Lord has promised to rapture the Church and deliver the godly out of temptations to reserve the unjust under the punishment for the day of judgment during the worldwide tribulation that is coming upon the whole earth very very sooner than we think (2 Peter 2:9; 1 Tim 2:1-4; Rev 3:10). Praise the Lord!

The apostle Jude also have agreed with this end time message to say that Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them having given themselves to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh of homosexuality (Rom 1:26-27, 28; Lev 20:13), are set forth as an example for suffering the eternal fire (Jude 7). WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY DANGEROUS TIME UNLIKE THE LAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF THE CHURCH EXISTENCE, WE ARE LIVING IN THE VERY END OF END BEFORE THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS.

So for those who live mockingly asking, 'where is the coming of the Lord?, two thousand years have gone by, the same things are happening again and again and nothing has changed even from the time of creation of all things,' are actually fulfilling the prophecy of apostle Peter who spoke about our times saying that such things people will start to tell and throw the warning of Jesus lightly, but at that time the day of the Lord will start to come unexpectedly in which Jesus will rule the whole world for a thousand years (2 Peter 3:3-9). THE ONE REASON GOD HAS NOT CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH FOR THE WORLD IS THAT HE IS WAITING STILL AND NOT WILLING THAT ANY OF THE SINNER SHOULD PERISH IN GOD'S JUDGMENT OF TRIBULATION WITHOUT A CHANCE TO HEAR AND SEE THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST DISPLAYED BY THE GENUINE GODLY PEOPLE WITHIN THE CHURCH (2 Peter 3:9).

May God help us all to keep the faith bright, thus shining the light of Jesus to all the world in these end of end times before the trumpet of God sounds to take the Church away to the place prepared for it in our Father's house (Luke 18:8; John 14:3).

So according to the Bible God's considers HOMOSEXUALITY TO BE THE FINAL ORDER OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD, this is the reason I have referred all the apostles who have given warning especially against this sin, even though all sin is lawlessness against God (1 John 3:4). I also have stood against Pharisaical religious life of hypocrisy and do always say that committing a small sin is equal to committing any other sins which are considered as big in terms of manifestation and in the society, and there is no difference except the a BIG ZERO we all get when it comes to validation before God for marking our spiritual life with grades (James 2:10), in other words we all can only boast and sing about the greatness about ourselves is that we now have the perfect righteousness of Christ within us as He has become our righteousness (2 Cor 5:21; 1 Cor 1:30-31). I stand by the law of liberty to say that God's mercy will triumph when we repent to believe in Jesus and live by His Grace to see and experience that sin shall not have dominion over us (James 2:12-13; Rom 6:14). If you hate sin and love sinners truly, stand on God's side which is actually based on what He has already revealed in His Word clearly.

So I want you not to judge the people of God when they are standing on God's side and are tormented seeing the ungodly life of the world that is becoming perverse and evil more than ever before, day by day rapidly degenerating in to a godless society (Matt 7:1-5). You do not know the heart attitude behind the saints saying such things they feel. But I appreciate that you have expressed what you have thought openly, but also I want you to read the Bible for some better understanding regarding these things for gaining some deeper insight. That is the reason we are in social media, to encourage and edify one another daily in the Lord so that we can stay strong in faith and not be hardened in heart because of the deceitfulness of sin, as we see the coming of the Lord drawing nearer and nearer than ever before (1 Thess 5:11; Heb 3:13; 10:25). Thank you.

Much Blessings....
