– Is “Character Building” something a Christian should look into? – Is it important to grow in moral character? – What does it mean to be a Christian?
The word “Character” is not really mentioned in the Scriptures, but if you do a word study of “Glory” and “Name”, you will find that these words sometimes refer to Character, especially the word Glory. This is very interesting!
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV)
2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV)
Reading 2 Corinthians, we understand we are to grow in character (glory), in a Christ-like manner. In God’s image (character) we were created but sin entered into mankind through the fall of Adam. Paul writes how the spirit and flesh are in constant battle with each other. (Gal 5:16-17) Know this, what Jesus came to accomplish, that the plan of Salvation was a twofold mission:
1. Reveal GOD’S CHARACTER – to men 2. Restore GOD’S CHARACTER – in men
Do you feel an urgent need to pray to God for forgiveness? Then come to Jesus, with a true acknowledgement of your faults and wrongdoings. Ask God our Father, who sees everything, to wash you clean. A true repentance must be genuine from your heart.
Do you feel broken? Through Jesus, God wants to heal you and make you whole again. It’s a promise and a gift no one but the Almighty Father can accomplish.
If you have a stony heart, ask God to replace it with a new heart of flesh. Ask Him for a renewal of Spirit, Mind and Soul. Then God will reward you with overwhelming JOY!
The sacrifice God desires the most is a broken spirit. Where you are truly sorry. God promises He will not reject a broken and repentant heart. Thank you God, we can trust in you and you alone!
Psalms 51:1-17 (NKJV)
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your loving kindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin [is] always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight – That You may be found just when You speak, [And] blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden [part] You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, [That] the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me [by Your] generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart – These, O God, You will not despise.
Yes, God is Love and He is Merciful.
But He is not all-loving and all-forgiving. That’s a Biblical myth many people have been misled to think.
God is also Just and a Judge. So how can our Creator be both Just & Judge and Merciful & Love at the same time?
These attributes can be in conflict – because if God is Just when He will judge us, and since we are all sinners, that penalty is eternal death – then how can He at the same time be Loving Merciful; and forgive us for our sins?
That’s why God sent Jesus into this world. Do die for me and take my penalty (death) because of my sins.
This action alone shows God’s Mercy to forgive me for my sins, if and when I decide to make Jesus both my Savior and Lord.
Through the son Jesus, our Father Almighty can prove He must be Just according to His Law, but that He is willing to be Merciful & Love at the same time.
This song “Walk with me” is sung by Denny Denson. I like this version of this old African-American spiritual hymn. Several artists have recorded “Walk with me Lord”: Mahalia Jackson, Lizz Wright, Lynda Randle, Tina Turner and more.
There are many different lyrics to this gospel. Below is the lyrics for this particular version in the Youtube video.
Walk with me, Lord, God walk with me
Walk with me, Lord, God walk with me
While I’m on this old tedious journey,
I want Jesus to walk with me
Take my hand, Lord, take my hand
Take my hand, Lord, take my hand
While I’m on this old this tedious journey,
I want Jesus to walk with me
Nobody but you Lord, nobody but You
Nobody but you Lord, nobody but You
While I’m on this old tedious journey,
I want Jesus to walk with me
This broadcast was aired on Swedish TV in June 2018.
“What unites us instead of what divides us” – is the propaganda for One World Religion.
But Jesus came to take us out of this world and out of false religions. Out from false teachers and false doctrines.
He is the Light and Jesus came with a sword to divide us from this world.
What has the Light to do with Darkness?
Satan is the ruler of this world, soon to be conquered and cast into the Lake of Fire.
Just as Abraham was called out of Babylon – we born again christians need to get out of the fallen church and out of the world system.
And as the hebrews, the slaves, were taken out from Egypt, so will God bring us out before we enter the Holy and eternal Land.
Rome and the Jesuits has infiltrated the religions of this world, in order to bring them together. Rome is the Harlot and the 4th Beast, spoken of in the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelation.
“Come out of her”, Jesus calls us to do.
Rome, the papacy and the Vatican has a false gospel and they are a blasphemy to God. They have tried hard to reconquered what they lost to the Protestant movement, by infiltration and deceit.
Their takeover is almost accomplished – it’s just the saints, the born again disciples of Christ who stands as their stumbling block before they can have a world dominion, and a One World Religion and One World Government …
Why did God take Abraham out of Babel?
The answer is, so Satan couldn’t prevent the Messiah, Jesus Christ to come into this world and save us.
Shem was Abraham’s ancestor and he was the “godly line”, compared to his brother Ham (who established Babel and who’s children become Nimrod, who married Semiramis – the sun and moon gods).
The biblical meaning of Babel and Babylon means confusion. It’s meaning is still in this world.
If you are awake you might have noticed the term One World Religion, where the Roman Empire 2, (State & Church = Vatican) and all religions are gathered under one religious umbrella.
Satan wants to go to a final attack and deceive all people and nations – even the very elect among God’s people will be deceived.
The Protestant Church is under attack and is deceived by this Beast. So is Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.
Satan knew his head (his power and dominion) would be crushed by the seed of the woman, which is Israel and the Church, God’s remnant of born again people. Satan hates everyone who is born again in the Spirit, and he is not threated by genealogy or other false religions or doctrines.
Today there is much focus on Israel and the Jews regarding prophecy.
It’s a focus on a nation, instead of the reason why God called this nation/people – that was to preserve the Truth to a small nation, so that our Messiah could be brought through and become the Savior to all people and all nations.
The red thread in the Bible is the prophecy of Jesus Christ. The Messiah to come – and the Messiah to return. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.
There is no favorite people since our Father isn’t a respecter of any person.
The blessing to Abraham was to produce a seed – Jesus Christ, the Messiah – who would become the Sacrifice and the Savior for all who believed in Him. Continue reading “The blessing to Abraham”
Video by Team Jesus Preachers in south Florida and Forth Myers.
Matthew 11:6 “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
Matthew 5:5 ”Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
The truth of Jesus really offends people who rather prefer to live with pride, in sin and in darkness of lies.
Are these evangelical preachers doing the right thing? Should we shout out the truth in public? Is this the right way to save people, what do you think?
My warning is to avoid Yoga.
Yoga is Hinduism, a religion, where you search for enlightment, a higher conscience, to connect with “the Universe”, to become like gods ..
We as humans are just a vessel, containing a Soul and a Spirit.
So be careful what other spirits you let in!
When we die, there is nothing left in this vessel, there is no substance left. We are not gods. And we are mortals.
When we die, we return to the Earth, we become dust.
The only SUBSTANCE is God Himself.
We are just as smoke.
Yoga is demonic, it’s rebellious towards God our Creator.
When we believers in Christ,
who is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of God, fill ourselves with The Holy Spirit from God – the practicing Hindu does yoga, and fills himself with demonic spirits, and they trick you into letting them take over your mind, body and soul!
Demons are like parasites and you might not even know you are influenced by them.
The Bible is clear – we are humans with Body, Soul, Spirit and Mind.
We are not like gods, although we are created in God’s image.
That was even the first lie Satan deceived Eve with – so we humans fell collectively. We are sons of Adam – fallen away from God’s glory. Continue reading “Warning: Yoga is The Ancient lie to become as God”
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell (Gehenna is the Greek original word, not “Hell”).”
Matthew 10:28
The term ”Hell” in Matthew 28:10 is not a correct translation in the Bible.
Why is that? Are there evil forces in this world that have willfully led Bible readers into darkness, by translating incorrectly?
Is there an old myth of a place of torment in the underground where you pay forever and ever, for your debts/transgressions/sins?
And has Bible theologians incorporated this pagan belief of an burning place of tormenting, called Hell?
Well let’s look into the original scriptures in the Greek language.
This is what we found in the Blue Letter Bible:
“Hell is the place of the future punishment called “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire”.
This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction.“
