Make Sure Sin Is Divorced Before The Year Ends




How can we make a new year better than the former one?

People in different countries have different ways to prepare for entering a new year  Some use vision boards to have clear and specific goals to achieve . Others change plans to achieve various results.
Personally, I found in addition to the above, separating myself and my family from certain people and relationships makes all the difference in changing the outcome of a new year. We had also to change churches and pastors to move on in life.

Yes, it is important to change habits, patterns, lifestyle, and other things but as long as a bad relationship is not cut off all the other things won't work.
It's like the little leaven that Jesus talked about that will affect the whole year negatively.
In some cases, it could be a real divorce, in other cases, it may be deleting a social media account that is taking so much time and energy without really adding anything to your life. Sometimes its 
friendship or relationship that is toxic.
In some cases, it could be a job with a bad environment that is difficult to do anything about so you just separate yourself from it and trust God to give you another job in a good environment.
This principle is biblical and was given as a commandment from God to the Israelites to not mix and separate themselves from the surrounding nations unless they learn their unbiblical habits and cause them to sin against God and bring the curse upon themselves as a result.

Jesus separated himself from his disciples to have alone time with God.
He separated 12 men from other people to mentor them for 3 years and they had to separate themselves from everything and everyone to follow him.
He separated himself and his disciples from the religious crowd and chose the simple people to minister to.
He also separated himself from sin to fulfill his assignment successfully although he was tempted his whole life he sinned not.

For some people who are totally dependant on others for their well-being, it may take more effort to cut off some relationships especially in most cases the wrong ones do not leave voluntarily so some tough decisions must be made.
It is the same principle of pruning of the plants that Jesus used to teach the people about cutting off the dead parts so the new can grow.
This is an important thing to practice so that life can go on and we accomplish the best plan God has for us.

Ask God to show you which thing, relationship  or person needs to go so that you can achieve much more in the coming year than any year before

Coming Soon:Your Messiah

 




Celebrating another unusual Christmas season with so much going on in the world makes the coming of a real and powerful Messiah so demanded.

One who can fix the mess, stop the storms with words, redeem from the curse, destroy the yokes of oppression, and various social issues people are trying to fix.

Though the times are different the circumstances and the issues that accompanied the savior's birth are extremely similar.

The jews were living under heavy oppression from the Romans and had almost given up on any expected change in their situation especially after God was silent in 400 years and no greater small prophet had appeared to bring a word from the Lord or to deliver.

But God was orchestrating the biggest event meanwhile to save the whole world not only one race and to deliver from eternal punishment those who accept him and believe in him as the only son of God who came in the flesh to represent the beginning of the new covenant which is based on better promises.

For this specific reason, Satan tried to abort God's plan from the start by trying to kill Jesus so the redemption plan would never take place.

As we all know Satan is no match for God and he lost his position in heaven because of rebellion and pride.

 God's plans and purposes only prevail.The holy bible is a book that shows this supreme fact and God's faithfulness to his people generation after generation by rescuing them over and over again, providing for them, and fighting all their battles. He is a trustworthy and dependable God.

It is totally safe to trust only God and Mary did this and was highly favoured and honoured for trusting God's word completely with all the stigma that followed her and her family their whole life.

Today more than ever the world needs desperately a real saviour who can not only fix the material issues or natural catastrophes but change from the inside and give birth to a new nature.

This savior has already come and brought all the solutions to every problem a human being may face

and that is why many people are coming to faith in  Christ in these times than before and are more recipients of the gospel than any other time.

He really is the world's only Messiah and everybody who believes in him will be saved here and in the life to come.

He came to establish another type of governing based on justice and peace and the bible mentions that wars will cease and military equipment will be destroyed under his reign.

The lion and the lamb will dwell together safely because their nature will be changed and all will live in peace and prosperity.

Such a mighty ruler is what the world is looking for and hoping to get every time they elect a leader and in most cases, after a short time, they get disappointed and try to find someone better to solve the problems.

The problem in the world is first spiritual and can't be fixed in any other way.

That is why Jesus almost always fixed first the spiritual issues in people and then the issue they thought was the problem. 

That is why celebrating Christmas and the coming of Jesus is more important now than any other time because it does not remind us of a historical event that happened 2000 years ago, but is the hope and excitement for perfect rulership that is coming soon to put an end to suffering, injustices, oppression and all the negative issues related to the curse.

Christians also will rule with him and will be given positions in his kingdom according to their works for him in this life.

We have so much to be excited about and rewarded for so let all the saints encourage each other and work wholeheartedly for our Lord and savior for he who promised is faithful.

Mark All False Prophets

 

In the end time of all things, deception will increase enormously as the bible mentions 
The more the people drift from the truth in the bible the easier it becomes to deceive them and make them believe things that only a short time ago were refused unquestionably by everyone.
But deception is more dangerous through pastors and churches because 
people do not expect to be lied to by those who are supposed to tell them and others the truth and it takes sometimes a long time to expose those so-called Christians who can be in leadership or just ordinary worshippers deceiving Christians through unbiblical worship songs that paint a false picture about God.
In the old testament, there were appointed watchmen on the borders of the cities that were supposed to shout when the enemy approached their city to warn the people about the coming danger so that preparation would be made to fight against the enemy or to flee or whatever the plan was to protect themselves and their families.
One of the prophet's tasks is also to be a watchman to warn the people from upcoming dangers
and not only to deceive them with what they want to hear.
This includes also exposing false ministries who are deceiving their people for various reasons.
Every Christian is chosen to tell the truth and to expose those who are using Jesus' name for their own 
benefit and damaging the reputation of God and his most holy name.
There may be many false ministries that go uncovered for decades until someone 
stands up against them and exposes them.
God's judgment comes through us because Jesus gave us this authority that whatever we bound on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven.
Elijah's story is an example of a true prophet who fought against the powerless false prophets of Baal
who were challenged by him to prove which of them had the true God?
Ahab was a very weak king controlled by Jezebel who hated Elijah because he was a true prophet and tried to kill him.
Jezebel had false prophets who tried to deceive people to follow the false god Baal.
Elijah asked the people to decide which god they wanted to follow
but he had to demonstrate the power of the true God to make it easier and more obvious for people to decide which God was the true one.
The God Of Elijah answered by fire therefore the people knew that He was the true God and decided to follow him and Elijah killed all the false prophets non of them escaped.

If Elijah hadn't uncovered them so had the people been deceived and never knew the truth about those many false prophets.
Today we have to expose all the false ministers and others who impact the crowds with false teachings 
and never warn them about the judgement of God.
In Eastern churches the situation is the opposite, most religious leaders are so judgemental and make people sin conscious that people react negatively and do not enjoy going to church.
In Following the leadership of Jesus we find the answer to this huge problem
He was so honest with people to warn them about the false religious leaders of his time and told them about the things to come both the good and the bad and that they should also expect to be hated for his name's sake.
In youtube only there are thousands of prophets who prophesy almost daily and this can't be true
Even God did not make his prophets prophecy daily to the people.
In the old testament, messages were sent to people through prophets either to warn or to encourage or to just teach God's ways and in the new testament, the Holy Spirit living within us enables us to prophecy and edify the body of Christ besides other abilities and empowerment of the Spirit.
 
The question some may ask is how do we know who is a false prophet?

The answer is in the bible:

"If what a prophet says in the name of the Lord does not happen 
it is not the Lord's message
That prophet was speaking his own ideas 
Don't be afraid of him."

False prophecy is not only about the things of God. It may be negative words by people, teachers, and leaders
about you and your future and destiny that you need to break in prayer and fasting.

Every word that is contrary to what God says about us in the bible must fail through prayer.

My divorce experience learned me much about false prophets in the church and outside the church.
They wanted me to fail but God caused me only to succeed.
God's calling is from the womb and irreversible and when we walk with him 
he makes us successful.
Your marital status has nothing to do with your success in life,
 but your faith In God status has everything to do.
You can be married and a total failure 
or divorced and successful.
In the bible is mentioned many times that "He walked with God and he made him prosper 
Also as a nation when Israel walked with God it became invincible and successful.
Never once it is mentioned that God prospered them because they were married.

I have lived as single, married, and single again and God's blessing over my life had nothing to do with my marital status but always with my faith status.
I am more fruitful and successful now than ever before and my children also not only materially also spiritually and we have the peace that passes all understanding that was impossible to 
achieve through marriage.

I don't encourage divorce, but I am strongly against staying in bad marriages
due to society, church, and family pressure because God is more concerned about your freedom, peace wellbeing, and enjoying life than any other person on earth.
