Bible Prophecy

Prophecy is a riddle that is difficult to explain. Bible prophecy is often thought that only predict the future. But the prediction in the form of biblical truth is always more than. It may simply placing popular events in the light of biblical truth as found in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But mark: There are terrible times in the last days people selfish lovers. Money, boastful, arrogant, abusive , disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, without love, unforgiving, slanderers, without self, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – there is a form of godliness, but denying its power has nothing to do with them “..

This passage is Paul not only speaks futuristic, but also how he sees the event is related to the economy of God in his world. No need to be a prophet to see that all these questions will come to pass. A modern day “prophets” can only be one person who gives you insight into God’s nightly news. In other words, how current events lining up with what the prophets of old did way back when.

Perhaps the best way to promote mysticism and prophecy in the church today has become so proficient as possible with God’s insight into what is happening around us, and then live a life that honors God. The prayer that we all call “Our Father” is a good place to start. Allow this prayer to consume your life, you know that 1) God is your Father in heaven, 2) desire to return to Him and His will would work in your life as if you are in heaven now, 3) you trust Him for all your basic needs, 4) you want to live a life of daily repentance for your sins, as the loan must have and that you give others the benefit of the doubt when they owe you a debt, and 5) You need help to stay away from the temptations of this word, as there are many, and deliverance from evil One.

A pair of Christian writers of notes is Soren Kierkegaard, CS Lewis, or watchman born. They would all say the experience to experience things that put us in our comfort zone to experience the Christian life. Life without hard or difficult is not a life that has been tried, and therefore a life that does not know what it can actually achieve through the power of the Holy Spirit working through it.
Therefore, a life that does not actually know what it can accomplish through the power of the Holy Spirit working through it.

The Strong Christian Faith

As a human being, we must know the ultimate gist of all religions. In the revolutionary era of information-technology, the task has become quite easier. The website like christian foundation is determined to provide a new dimension to such aesthetic spirituality. We have heard the word ‘Evangelism’ and organization like  Christian Foundation’ is ideally practicing it. In spite of so many contributions to the society, Christian faith is still countering good amount of opposition from communists, theological radicals, gays, and even there are some Christians who hate the Christian faith. Hence, the Christian society needs many foundations like New Zealand Christian Foundation. The foundation with the help of its website is brilliantly capitalizing the virtues of “world wide web”. Certainly, internet has made the ‘evangelism’ quite easier than never before. Evangelism is an ultimate tool to establish the Christian faith in the strongest way. The biggest one subject to counter through ‘evangelism’ is the term ‘Solas’. A common man loves to pay regard to ‘Bible’ as the book of God’s word but as soon as the ‘sola’ portion appears, perception changes because it sets forth the Bible as the only book for god’s word. In contemporary circumstances, people love to practice inclusive approach irrespective of creeds and believe. They respect ‘Christ’ but have doubt in its stature as the only savior. They state that faith and grace can not be the only way for justification and salvation. If the things are so then people will come back empty handed from the doors of God. Basically, people realize that there are large numbers of books accepted as the god’s word. Though, they are contradicting with each other at the certain specific points. So, people want to narrow it down and pick only those words what they wish to follow. On the other hand; people hate ‘gospel-proclaiming Bible based stream of the Christian faith’ because it prohibits human inclination towards lust of flesh, lust of eyes and pride of life as well.

The Component Needed For Christian Teaching and Teachers.

Passion for teaching is not innate, it has to be developed and maintained. In fact, it needs to be adapted to the teachers’ value system. According to Gilliland (2007) he states that “Passion is the burning desire to make a difference for students and persist and persevere to define your level of effectiveness. Passion means being able to take the frustration, the road blocks, the disappointments and the endless stress and still want to come to work each day determined to turn vision into reality (Gilliland, 2007). Teaching with passion allows the Christian teacher to teach, inspire and still hold people accountable. Hence the question comes to mind, what makes a passionate teacher different from an ordinary teacher? Without a passionate commitment, educators cannot last in a leadership role needed to surpass the resources available to meet them. Being a successful teacher is not a thing you acquire or achieve. Rather, it is a journey you take your whole career” (Gilliland, 2007). This is a journey of commitment, sacrifice, and zeal. It is what allows Christian teaching to be empowered for a student’s intellect to be improved in body, mind and soul. Day (1999a, b) states that teachers with a passion for teaching are those who are committed, enthusiastic and intellectually and emotionally energetic in their work with children, young people and adults alike. This is of greater importance for Christian teachers who should be “called” to teach.

Christian teaching is not just about imparting information. It involves emotions, social relationships, character and much more (Poe, 2004). It involves a Christian life that can be valued and emulated by students. Christian teaching is not only about giving students room to learn how to think for themselves, but creating leaders for the future.  This is highly necessary in today’s world to conquer these difficult and challenging times of teaching. Thus the converse is true, once the a teacher gets easily frustrated, lacks passion and commitment in teaching then the question that needs to be asked is; am I committed to Christian teaching?

Christian teaching can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It requires standards that must encompass the principles and guidelines accepted by the world but far exceeded the worlds. It is therefore not considered unreasonable to entrust the responsibility of teaching innocent children, youth or adults to persons without insisting on educators possessing the required academic background and/or relevant teacher education. To be a successful Christian educator, you need to have intense passion for teaching and teaching with success. The Christian teacher should be far above excitement and inspiration but must be selfless in service. Christian teachers must believe in the mystery of good teaching until it becomes a part of them. As they explore new avenues for successful teaching and shared with others, the insight and energy of mystery will begin to inform and reform their practice. Christian teachers face the same dilemma as other teachers in every walk of life (Poe 2004). Soon they discover and develop methods of teaching that emerge from their own integrity, but they never reduce their teaching to just strategies and technique. The Christian teacher teaches with the view of making the student develop into a wholistic individual. Christian teaching is empowerment of an individual’s intellect to improve body, mind and soul.

WHAT IS OUR DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY AS CHRISTIANS ?

We must first understand what is meant by the word Duty

Duty (from “due,” that which is owing, O. Fr. deu, did, past participle of devoir; Lat. debere, debitum; cf. “debt”) is a term that conveys a sense of moral commitment to someone or something. The moral commitment is the sort that results in action and it is not a matter of passive feeling or mere recognition. When someone recognizes a duty, that person commits himself/herself to the cause involved without considering the self-interested courses of actions that may have been relevant previously. This is not to suggest that living a life of duty precludes one from the best sort of life, but duty does involve some sacrifice of immediate self-interest.

 

1 Our first duty (moral commitment) is to God and Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

How do we do this? The Word of God guides us.

Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me, although he may die, yet he shall live”. John 11:25

The word BELIEVE is mentioned 131 times in the Bible. This repetition underscores the importance of this word. What is meant by this phrase, BELIEVE IN? Many Christians think that if they really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God they are saved Christians. Even the Devil and demons believe in Jesus. So we must dig into what is meant by BELIEVE IN, to see what is meant for us to do.

To fully understand the importance of what “believe in” means, we must first go to the root of the word. The New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for believe is Pistevo which means;

A. To Adhere; to give support or maintain loyalty. B. To hold fast or stick by, as if by gluing or fusing.

With this understanding, now look at what Our Lord Jesus Christ, is saying in John 11:25

“I am the Resurrection and the Life. whoever Adheres, Remains Loyal, Holds Fast to Me, although he may die, yet shall he live”.

Jesus said in John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command”.

What did Jesus Christ command of His followers? To have no other Gods but God The Father, and to Love each other as you Love yourself.

To Love one another is probably the most misunderstood phrase in the Bible. What does Love mean? A simple but very concise meaning of Love is “DON’T HATE”.

In the Greek, love has several precise meanings, we can infer from what Jesus said, that His meaning was “Philia” or friendship. It is a natural affection, like that felt by parents for an offspring. Used to describe relationships within the family.

In our daily lives as Christian men we must understand His command to Love each other as yourself. Love also is correction. We must correct our own faults before we may correct others. How can the dutiful father correct his child if he himself does the very thing he demands his child not? That would be taken as hypocrisy and create resentment, not love. Resentment is the foundation for all rebellion and discord within the family.

When Jesus said we must Do unto others as we do unto ourselves. When we understand that CORRECTION is a key part of that command. We as Christian men must correct ourselves, our Family, our Neighbors, which includes our Community and Our Nation.

Herein lies our Duty to God. We must Hold Fast, Stick With Him, and Correct (love) ourselves as we Correct (love) those around us.

If we as Christian men would truly Adhere to Jesus and obey His Commands, the wolves would be driven from power over the Lambs of God. Do you accept this responsibility?

2. The second duty (moral commitment) we Christian men have is to our family.

Before we can accept our Christian duty to family we must know Who Our Family is.

Christ has told us the answer, “For whosoever shall do the will of God, The same is my brother and my mother”. Mark 3:35.

Our duty is to all the members of the Family of Christ. When Christian men understand this command and work in unity with their Christian brothers, those that are of the family of the Devil will not be over any of us

The Christian family must be headed by men with virtue, Noble in character and deed. When the family is led by a Noble Man the family will follow him out of sincere respect To be Noble is defined as , possessing, characterized by, or arising from superiority of mind or character, or ideals, or morals. If we are to be sincere men of Christ we must be Noble. Sarah, the wife of Abraham, addressed him as “My Lord”, because Abraham was a noble man of God. How many of our wives would address us so?

We are living a very special time of Spiritual Warfare. Christ has told us essentially those not with Him, are of the family of the Devil. John 8:42-47 (New King James Version)

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

We today, most certainly live in a time when most of those who have power over us are not of God. They do not hear His words, nor do they have any desire to do so. They want what their Father wants and do what their Father does. You know them by their deeds. Now! Christian men must do what our Father in Heaven wants of us and be not deceived.

We as men of God know that we must protect and provide for our wife’s and children. How can you do that when your freedom is being eroded? How many men are now unemployed? Millions is the answer. Why are they, is the best question to ask. The reason millions of jobs are moving to China and other Nations is the product of a plan by those that oppose God, to reduce God’s Nation, to that of a third world Godless country. You all know or must have a very good idea that what is happening to our economy is not by chance. It was planned. It is our job not to outline the many problems facing America, your State, your City, or your Family, you are aware of those. It is our job to solve those problems and with Christian men working in unity of purpose WE WILL.

Only committed Christian men working as a family should, can, and WILL restore Gods Nation. It is not to late to gain or regain that nobility within you. Just Adhere to Christ Jesus. It is time we together Stand up for Jesus. Stand up for your Family, Stand up for America. Let us today resolve to be Christian Soldiers marching as to war. This is a Spiritual War. We Will Win, for Christ is our Head.

“Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me”. Exodus 20.5

Christian Persecution

The world marches forward in its quest for better education for the common people and a higher standard of living, not to mention the extra knowledge in many areas. So you would think that this will happen as people become more understanding and tolerant of each of these differences, but it does not seem so, at least in cases of religious tolerance.

In fact, said some publications that contain the Catholic News us that in many countries where religious intolerance is more standard as far as Christianity is concerned. When it’s basic communism, are opposed to Christianity, but in spite of the decline of communism, Christian persecution is increasing worldwide, with more countries than ever before to persecute Christians. With more Christian martyrs today – people who die for their faith – than ever before.

In many countries, anyone who is a Christian can expect to be treated so poorly that their very existence is threatened. And in many cases they were either beaten or shot while carrying foolish worship of God is an integral part of their faith. How long the Christians to suffer such treatment? Probably until Jesus returns to reign on earth – an event that only Christians believe will happen.

Meanwhile, the problem is so serious that many Catholic charities have sprung up to offer support to Christians in need, those who have been denied basic human rights to food and shelter for their faith. Christians in the lucky countries where religious freedom is to force the opportunity to help their fellow Christians, so obey the teachings of Jesus in caring for each other. They can do this easily by buying products from online stores are created with the aim to help persecuted Christians, by making a donation or by making a legacy to their will.

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) is an international Catholic charity under papal jurisdiction, which annually provides financial support to over 5,000 projects worldwide. ACN supports poor and the persecuted church in prayer, pastoral support and material assistance. Help is given to refugees from all trosretninger.
