THE ‘ARMOR’ WE ARE ‘WEARING’ NOW DETERMINES WHAT SIDE OF THE COMING FINAL CONFLICT WE WILL TAKE

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ‘ARMOR’ WE ARE ‘WEARING’ NOW DETERMINES WHAT SIDE OF THE COMING FINAL CONFLICT WE WILL TAKE

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. [How?]. Put on the WHOLE armor of God, that ye may be ABLE to stand against the WILES of the devil. For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this WORLD, against SPIRITUAL wickedness in high places. (Continue to verses 13-18). Now this:

WORLD NOW PRIMED FOR SATAN’S ‘LYING WONDERS’

April 23, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WORLD NOW PRIMED FOR SATAN’S ‘LYING WONDERS’

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thess.2:9,10,KJV. (See verses 3-12; compare to Rev. 13: 13,14).

Nobody in his right mind wants to imagine the worst, but the worst is not some virtual monster; it is a calloused reality.

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES

February 12 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SOME OF SATAN’S DEADLY SNARES & SCHEMES.

– “Worldly schemes, worldly investments, made to please and glorify self, bring no returns worth having. God condemns them, and what God condemns is not safe for any living soul to practice.” UL 234. 

“Financial speculations are Satan’s snares, laid to catch souls. Satan engrossed men’s minds with dream-like prospects of great gain, and in their greed for gain, those who yield to him, make representations which are positively untrue. God and truth are forgotten. God desires His servants to AVOID ALL SPECULATION.

Satan may pave the way by making the FIRST investment successful, but O, how bitter will be the final outcome! If the professing Christian has success in his first speculation, his ruin is almost certain! Visionary schemes are wildly entered into as schemers present promising enterprises, which declare will pay a large percentage on all money invested. [Even] good men are fascinated and deceived.” UL 21.

Satan, prince of our fallen world, offers prosperity and fame to all who are willing to compromise their convictions.


It is my prayer that none us will fall for any of Satan’s snares and schemes, as many have and will continue to be! “Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee away from you!”   NMF

ONLY A NEW HEART CAN MAKE A NEW YEAR

December 30, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

ONLY A NEW HEART CAN MAKE A NEW YEAR.

“There is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, See, this new? It has already been in ancient times before us.” Eccl. 1: 9, 10.


     The only things that can be made brand new, inside out, according the only One who has and “creates/makes all things new” (Ps. 51:10; Eze. 11:19: 18: 30-32; 36: 26; Heb. 8: 9-13; 10: 16, 17), producing “the new creature/creation where old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17).

Here’s “the truth as it in Jesus”—“that we put off, concerning our former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of our mind, that we put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4: 17-24).

THE DIVINE POTTER MOLDS HUMAN CLAY INTO HIS IMAGE

December 4, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE DIVINE POTTER MOLDS HUMAN CLAY INTO HIS IMAGE. 

Ask yourself: Is it my way or God’s way that I am following. Here’s a vital part of the sealing work: Submiting our will to God, resisting the devil and his temptations, particularly the pesky, persistent besetting sins “that so easily ensnare us” (James 4:7; Rev.3:21; 1 Cor. 15:31; Luke 9:23; Heb 12:21). – “While the human agent is devising and planning for himself something that God has withheld him from doing, he has a hard time. He complains and frets, and has still more difficulties. But when he submits as clay in the hands of the potter, then God works the man into a vessel of honor (Rom. 9:21; 1 Thess. 4:4; 2 Tim. 2:21).

Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FIVE Part I

 Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Some are wise, and some are otherwise.

-Old Proverb, Anon

 

Being a spiritual “virgin” does not automatically guarantee predestinated irreversibility that one somehow is rendered incapable of yielding to temptation and is above   foolishness all because of two stark realities: Satan is yet to launch his final campaign in desperate confederacy with all his agencies of evil spirits and wicked men against the faithful of the remnant church, we are still making choices, and, as free moral agents, are capable of changing our minds and altering our previous and present covenants and even firm convictions. This is at the
