Testimonies of overcoming him
You know there are some things that even true Christians who want to be smart or quick to condemn/belittle other Christians do while they themselves might be missing out on a few things and they seem to can't accept such things. And I do value their input and their experience. God gave us teachers, prophets and people with certain skills for ministry. Ephesians 4:11-16 God gave us his word and his only begotten son. God gave us many great prophets and Moses too. Without God life would be impossible. And the only reason that I'm going to say this again is not to make other Christians with ministries that don't favor looking at it like this tense. Some say it's not about being 100% perfect because you can be 100% perfect and still be rejected even though you think you are saved. They actually say it's more about hearing Jesus and doing what he tells you to do. With God all things are possible and don't underestimate God because he knows how to save people. I have to remember to humble myself every once in awhile because God highly esteem a contrite individual. God highly esteem a God-fearing woman and she is like a jewel. When God makes a judgment he decrees in his will what has to be done and there's no better judge than the true God Jehovah. So again we should use wise judgment. We should not be quick to condemn which is very easy to do. But when a Christian from a ministry might say he saved thousands of people I question that. I heard one say he was a Street Preacher years ago and he used Jesus loves you to save people. I've seen all the different methods to be honest. From growing up and liking music and wanting to be a musician we used to say you have to play the bars and have the chairs thrown at you and you can't cut that out or you won't learn. It seems like sometimes you could save people being lukewarm but there's no substance there to hold them. It is a known fact that so many fall away and so I don't judge the ones that preach hard because it's their ministry and it's their intuition and prerogative. However I do think that it's easy even in preaching to get abusive and some people are better at it than others. That's just how it is but people shouldn't feel negative and should learn to better themselves. You should know and favor those best tools in the tool shed.
Okay so we have many different versions of Jesus Christ. We have the hippie version and the black version and the pagan version and so many other types of Jesus Christ. If you read the King James Bible on whom is Jesus Christ including all the passages on whom God is you will have a good understanding of whom God is because Christ and his father are one. Some Christians say that it's a mystery. The Bible describes it as the godhead. God is the God of Israel. God is the God of the Israelites. Christ is the messiah that came from what we know today as Israel. Jerusalem is the city of the great king. Well we know Christ is the king of kings but King David I believe at one time captured Jerusalem so he is a great king too. So is King Solomon. If you walk into a Jewish synagogue and ask to see a Rabbi who is Jewish and you get along with them and you might have an idea who Christ was on Earth by that visual. We know from description of scripture that he had woolly hair and that he had a face men looked away from. He was despised and rejected of men and marred beyond recognition that he hardly resembled a man yet he was perfect. He never taught anybody paganism or the doctrines and commandments of men but this was a great offense to him. He said people honor him with their lips but their hearts are far from him. And thank God for John 3:16 because I am reminded quite often. He died for the sins of the entire world remember that. Yes it's true because God cannot lie and Christ was born of a virgin but his mother was a Jewish Hebrew woman and they are forbidden from practicing paganism. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us we are to worship Mary or that she is the Queen of Heaven or the mediator or co redeemer for salvation. She was a sinner and she said herself that she needed a savior. The Bible says there is only mediator between God and Men the man Christ Jesus whom we know he was called/named Yeshua Hamashiach on Earth or given a subtitle Emmanuel God With Us because he was Jewish and Jewish people have Jewish names. I myself have been in a synagogue more than once and have met Jewish people that are believers. I have even worshiped alongside them and not just gentile believers. Amen for my Jewish Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Remember the foundation on the day of Pentecost with John the Baptist who lived in the wilderness and Christ called him one of the greatest prophets that ever lived. Christ was Jewish on Earth. Most if not all of the apostles were Jews and God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and also Israel which is the nation that he chose on Earth. Now on top of this scripture once you understand it and you understand even the Book of Revelation you will know and be able to decipher the things that did not come from God and are opposing the true God. The world is deceived. Many true Christians have great understanding and it is impossible without God for them to have that understanding. There are many brothers and sisters in Christ and they are valuable and you should love each other and pray for each other. Life is a vapor here today and gone tomorrow so make sure you got the right Jesus Christ of Nazareth and not some counterfeit. All ways believe what is written in the King James Bible over what people might try to sell you. The Bible tells us in the Book of James what true religion is. A nation that God chose broke the Covenant and God's people were exiled shows you that God judged them very hard and he was no lukewarm God. They were conquered by different Empires at different times but God still brought judgment against some of these.
It is true that God has a will for each one of us. May his will be done. The wages of sin is death. Maybe you can keep reminding yourself of that every time you think a fornication. The other thing is somebody said you can sit on your driver's license picture but you're not worshiping it like an idol. Because God forbid graven images. The internet is full of graven images. The internet is full of vanity of sexual innuendos so is real life and subliminal advertising is everywhere including in media. Abortions are in the millions because people do not control the flesh properly. To covet what somebody else has is evil in God's eyes and yet people will say perhaps even in silence in their minds that they don't do this when they know they really do do this or they have done this even before they were saved. You need a proper mindset and that's why you have to renew your mind. You have to put in your thoughts that is not for you nor is that yours. I seen a woman in the mall with the boots up to her skirt showing the leg and she was very good looking and sexy looking. This is not of God and this is of the world. A woman of God will not dress like that and display herself like that. I remember seeing a woman like that at the airport once and a guy went crazy. You see that's going to lead you into danger men. And the reason I tell you all of this is because I want people who are going to become true believers and people who are true believers to be wise and to learn. I remember being young and going to bars and dancing with women and even sometimes getting women that I thought were too good for me. Yes it happened and I'm not the most handsome man around. Perhaps once I had a little bit of an edge but what matters to God is your heart. It must be right with God. Imagine all those alcoholic drinks and all that money and all that idiot talk to impress a woman. Christ never had to do any of that. He is the way the truth and the life. And I am not making regrets or apologies for the past but I am giving my testimony as others have their testimony so that you can better yourselves. Because many of us did these things and God forgive us. I mean being young I had fun dancing at clubs and even meeting people. But God's ways are better. When I became a true believer I lost a lot of my friends but the truth is this happened over a great deal of time. No they're not true Christians although I did have a few true Christians along the way that I made friends with. For me I became a true Christian over 30 years ago but it happened gradually. 3:33 a.m. October 6th 2022
The other thing I want to explain we can have disagreements and find faults with organized religion preachers. Some say they liked John MacArthur and some had other favorites while others have passed that and are focused on their own ministries. We should not seek to condemn our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Sure we have the prosperity gospel and I heard a brother say that sometimes we have to tread lightly on how to judge because we might be judging God himself. Some have many many years of experience and their wise and they have grown in faith and experience. And that is a good thing.
What I found in my life is that when I loved the world so much that I was part of the problem because God says love of the world is enmity with God that it blinded me from the truth. The martyrs of Jesus Christ overcame as written.
"11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
Revelation 12:11
Yes it's true we have an adversary the devil.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
If he is so vicious and he is why does God allow him to be the god of this world. If I tell you my insight you might accuse me of having head knowledge but we should not be ignorant to the devices of the devil and why certain things are so. We might not be 100% accurate but we could know. There was a great fall and the devil and his angels were kicked out of heaven down to the Earth. Therefore we know there's no life on any other planet out there. They have powers we only dream to have. My insight would be when Eve listened to the serpent and she was deceived he was like a snake who said her eyes would be open and she would be like God. And then Adam when he ate of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil that his wife gave him they both sinned and were naked before God. As we know in scripture God addressed the problem and from one man Adam sin entered into the world. Yes God knew what would happen because he is all knowing. God created the Earth for his purposes and you could read the Bible on that. He created a place with life and death and said I have put life and death before you choose life. Life is a test. It's a stage to the next stage which would be either eternal life or Eternal damnation. So you have to choose whom is your master and whom you will serve. Have a blessed day and keep the faith. 3:44 a.m. same day.
