7 Reasons a Christian Believer Must Engage In Bible Study
2:59 AM Posted by Tyler Kelly
Have you heard people asking questions like, why should a Christian study the bible? Is the church bible study not enough? Is the bible the word of God? Some would love to study the bible but seem not to have the time for it. This article is to give reasons Christian believers MUST do bible study and they are listed in no particular order The bible is God's words to mankind. Anybody who cares to study it gets to know more about God, what and how He thinks and why He thinks the way He does. Also, the bible teaches us how God operates and how to plug into His ways to enjoy all God's blessings and escape destruction. Now, breaking these teachings from the word of God; Why should we study the bible?
1. Revelation of our position in Christ The bible is centred round the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, from Genesis to Revelation. The scriptures point to the salvation of mankind by Jesus. This was fulfilled in the New Testament. Jesus redeemed man and restored his relationship back to God, restoring him to his original state before the fall. Bible study reveals this to us and teaches us how to gain access to this victory and how we can exercise this triumph only in Christ. That is, it reveals who you are in Christ and what power you have in Christ Jesus. We are seated with Christ in the place of authority in heavenly places as Ephesians 2:5-6 says.
2. Revelation of our inheritance in Christ Through studying the bible, a Christian believer discovers what belongs to him as a believer. Paul said in Acts 20:32 that the word of God is able to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. This inheritance includes healing, prosperity, long life, peace etc and ultimately eternal life. When people are ignorant of what they stand to enjoy as Christians, the devil will always cheat or destroy them, just like God said in Hosea 4:6 that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
3. Revelation of our authority over the devil Bible study reveals our authority over the devil. Though Satan has dominion over the world, he does not have dominion over the Christians. He only oppresses believers who do not know their authority over him and how to exercise it. Jesus said in Luke 10:19 that he has given you power to trend on serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
4. Spiritual growth What eating of food is to the body is what studying the bible is to spirit. Peter encouraged new believers in 1 Peter 2:2 to desire the sincere milk of the word so they can grow. Also in Hebrews 5:12-14, Paul was rebuking the Hebrews that they ought to have graduated to strong meat from milk. Therefore bible study enables a baby Christian to grow spiritually to become a matured Christian believer. The word of God in your heart keeps you away from sin and causes you to live a victorious life in Christ.
5. Direction You enjoy divine direction and guidance by studying the bible and doing what it says. The psalmist described the word of God in Psalm 119:105 as a lamp unto his feet and a light unto his path. Bible study enables you to know what step to take in any situation that will lead you to success and not failure, to life and not death, to victory and not defeat. It is what makes the difference between a blind doubting Christian and a seeing believing Christian.
6. Wisdom and understanding The bible is a bank of wisdom. Through bible study wisdom and understanding are imparted unto Christian believers. The psalmist said in Psalm 119:98-99 that God's words made him wiser than his enemies and gave him more understanding than his teachers. All the wisdom and understanding you need are in the bible but it is through studying the bible that they can be delivered to you.
7. Boldness Many Christians shy away from talking about Jesus because they do not have word of God in them. They are afraid that if they are asked some questions they would not know the answers. Bible study takes care of that. Paul admonished Timothy, in 2 Timothy 2:15 that he should study so that he would not be ashamed but be able to teach the word of truth accurately. Studying the bible though requires that you make out time for it, is indispensable if you are to enjoy your Christian walk with Jesus. Furthermore, church bible study cannot take the place of personal study of the word of God in a Christian's life, both are needed. Attend to God's words, let them not depart from your eyes and keep them in your heart, and they will be life and health to your body. Make studying the bible a priority in your life today and you will be happy you did tomorrow. Do you have other reasons for studying the bible?

Recognizing the deception and apostasy

Recognizing the deception and apostasy The PREFACEIn? Last day? the greatest fraud ever perpetrated men to deceive people, including Christians. A great nation, led by the Antichrist, will lead the nations of the earth and dominate the world. The people believe that the Savior, the man with the answer to the world? The complex problems, and the great peacemaker in a world very dangerous threat by the specter of terrorism and economic collapse. He will do the unthinkable and made a covenant with Israel to achieve peace in the Middle East. A man claiming to be Christian and that seems to be a wonderful person and a great leader comes to power with the support of the Church itself only later in the Church and Israel, in the worst persecutions of the world has ever seen. Although seen by Daniel 2600 years ago, and the apostle John about 2000 years ago, this could very well happen in our lifetime.The Bible speaks of a period of deception, and pain that is unprecedented. What does this mean? If the Bible is correct (and I think it is), we reach the point where you can not buy or sell anything. You won? They have no access to food, clothing, shelter, health care, schools - anything! If you're not a Christian (and I mean that you do not have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ and shelter, do not be rebo in the human spirit), is likely to be so involved in the illusion that one day. When given an option to continue to buy and sell and live a normal life in half, you agree to take a mark and worship the Antichrist. This will determine your eteal destiny. Most will be deceived! Most will have a path of least resistance. You may be deceived if? Continue to full article: About the Author

The cancer of sin Why Christians Suffer
3:27 AM Posted by Tyler Kelly
The cancer of sin Why Christians Suffer The cancer of sin. (Why Suffer Christian?) We all at one time or another have seen many types of cancer, cancer of the meat and cancer of the mind. Cancer is a silent killer that has taken place in the body, until one day shows that time and through the body has already been consumed, with no hope and no treatment, death is inevitable. Even God has enabled you cancer of the flesh to exist, cancer of the spirit can be destroyed. What is the soul of cancer? Sin. Why Suffer Christian? Since we have chosen a path that the world rejects. Many hikers choose the way to go, sometimes its easy and sometimes its difficult to climb. Christians are suffering because of the path we have chosen is hard and you trecherious.1Co 4:11-15 present even now there is hunger and thirst and are naked, and Buffeted, and do not have a specific dwellingplace; and working , Working with our hands: the reviled, we bless, is persecuted, we are: The defamed, we intreat: We are called filth of the world, and are the offscouring all things of this day. I write these things not too bad, but as my beloved sons I wa you. Because when their ten thousand teachers in Christ, there are still many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten through the Gospel. ? Even now we both hunger and thirst and are naked, and Buffeted, and do not have a specific dwellingplace? You say? This is not me? Yes, it suffers when a Christian of mode times, we all suffer. ? we are considered dirty in the world? strong language from the apostle Paul, but true. Sin of the world has passed. And when the world to blame one person for all their problems that they see the first Christians. Federal, state, local, we are a hated people, because to be honest, we rock the boat, and we call evil, as it is. Many who are now caught in their little world of demand, good - evil and evil - because they are so unhappy with their lives that want all the others are just as miserable. ? Buffeted have? (Struck, beaten. Cor.4.11 l. l. Pet.2.20)? Monitoring (or bothered by problems punishments inflicted injustice, especially for the religious points of view.) There is suffering? - We assure you that we do not want revenge, we refrain from misconduct or against them. ? As maligned (defamed, dishonor or hurt by bad relationships.) We intreat ??,?? is reviled (acknowledge, with opprobrious or contemptuous language.) We bless ??,?? We are the offscouring (The fact that the cleaning, so refuse, rejected that request VILE or despised. Lam 3rd 1Cor. 4) All things?. Rom 8:17 And if children then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ in common, so that if we suffer with him that we also glorified together. Because of sin, the tumor grows, those who were felt to be healed Babylon reconstruction, bars, nightclubs, gay parades, the entire eco-system is not in accordance with Gods word. Instead of healing, people are looking to do at all. Corruption is the cancer, the cancer is homosexuality, theft, prostitution, false teaching, robbery, rape, deceit, drunkenness, drugs, fair, child abuse, with respect, disbelief, all of these and other symptoms of a cancer, eating away at the structure of the human race. 1. Muslim Mob Attacks Christian houses in Pakistan. 2nd Messianic Israel, the Jews persecuted. 3rd Vietnamese authorities bu Christians? Case. 4th Thousands of Christians mou murdered Italian missionary Congo. 5th Palestinian Authority police in service at the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip fired waing shots into the air Saturday in an attempt to stop hundreds of Palestinians to cross the border. 6. The number of storms that REACH category four to five hours? The most powerful, damaging hurricanes? Almost doubled in the last 35 years, the study notes. What is the cause of all the hurricanes and floods? Mans reject Gods Word. Sin, the man for the overthrow of his base salary for the love of God and replaces it with the lies and deceit. Asia, United States, Africa, North, South, East and West are in the context of the plagues of the Bible, the curse of disobedience and disrespect. Ps 46:2 Do not fear though the earth be removed, and when the mountains are in the middle of the sea; Ps 46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and alarmed when the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. Jer 25:31-38, noise, even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord has a controversy with the nations, he will focus on all the meat, it is they, the wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, the male goes from country to country, and a large vortex is the coasts of the earth. And the dead of the Lord on that day from one end of the earth, even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they are crap on the floor. Howl, you shepherds, and cry, and indulge in the blackened, the head of the group: for the day of slaughter and dispersion have been complied with, and you fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds have no way of escape, nor the principal of the flock to escape. A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, he feels, because the Lord has spoiled their pasture. And the peaceful dwellings due to shear anger of the LORD. He left his hidden, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the ferocity of the oppressor, and because of his anger. Who can ask the Lord and his word and say that the sea is calm, the mountains and the rest of the people are safe? Who are you and what can I say? Those who oppose the Lord, and say that his word is corrupted and not recognized by knowledge, and who can say that the prophecy of another name? How many are now full of cancer and are still not aware of the fullness of the coming wrath upon them. We do not believe that the Word of God? Do we really? We believe, ethers, or not. Yesterday I heard a story about a man who is a mountain of it. Has only a rope and some provisions. Almost at the top, he stopped and looked back to what he did, with pride in themselves. All at once he slipped and started to decrease, because at night, he could not see where he was and thought he would die. He cried for the Lord to save him. All at once he reached the end of the rope, which strengthened his fall and stopped. He called back to God for help. The Lord spoke and then asked him,? Do you trust me? Yes, the man replied. ? Then cut the rope. But I can assure Mr see where I am, so dark and cold! ? If you believe in me Cut the rope! I can understand the man replied. The next moing a search party, man, frozen to death, just 10 meters above the ground. Sin, the world and people no longer believe in God Sin, the world and is a noise of war in the air. Sin will no longer be tolerated, sin is no longer with the creation of cancer. The goal that everyone expects to find here. Watch the sign of the times, to look at the prophecy of God. " Mat 16:3 And the moing will be days of bad weather conditions: the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, you know, can the face of heaven, but you can not see the signs of the times? Luk 21:25-26 And there are signs in the sun and the moon and the stars and the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and waves roaring, the hearts of men and not afraid to treat the following things that are on earth the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Act 2:19 And I Shew wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, smoke and steam.

Spiritual Healing Spiritual or neglect
11:13 PM Posted by Tyler Kelly
Spiritual Healing Spiritual or neglect Christians with chronic illness need to know is a source for healing beyond secular medicine that does not follow the patte or knowledge of this world. This source is spiritual and comes from God! But there is a problem. Millions of Christians stole the gift of spiritual healing through Christian spiritual traditions malpractice.Numerous (doctrines) that the time of miraculous healing, spiritual healing, or whatever the name is known, has completed. These traditions had time to divine healing, anointing with oil and hands, which ended when the last apostle died. With this type of education, there is no doubt that much confusion, illness and suffering.Those to make the claim that God does not intervene in this world through spiritual healing need to ask a question. Since he made such statement is bo, God or Satan? If God, then his will be done. But if this is not the teaching of God? I assume that Satan is whispering in your ear of him that God has completed the spiritual healing. So what? What is the consequence of believing and teaching this doctrine? This doctrine of the Church leaders and announce that he was responsible for denying millions of chronically ill Christians the gift of spiritual healing. For older people, the pastors and the church are all members of the clergy responsible for spiritual oversight of their herds. The doctrines they teach really consequences.Spiritual Negligence: Canon Mark Pearson, author of Healing Christian, put this way? To keep the ministry of healing from God? And why people do not pass to the interests of the directors of the Church is a congregation both spiritually and neglect would be medical negligence of a hospital refusing to treat heart attacks, because the only choice for the treatment of pneumonia. ? Spiritual is a gross negligence charge, why teach will be judged more strictly (James 3:1). More importantly, think of millions of people that can be passed to an early death, because everyone believed that God is no longer heals.The Church today is but a shadow of a godly influence is once enjoyed, especially because the male in spirit whispered to the ear of him that God is beyond the healing business. E 'a lie from the father of lies.Creating confusion: Many of the leaders of the Church of today must teach that healing is instantaneous, which is immediately to be called a miracle. But God? S word is not confined to spiritual healing instantly. The word? Miracle? simply by a supeatural or divine intervention. Everything is divine and the miraculous healing of nature (Exodus 15:26). He maintained that spiritual healing should be a second miracle that has led many Christians to abandon their faith in God to heal completely. That the reason is almost instantaneously healed of a chronic disease, then, whatever the treatment must take place through physical processes, beyond the direct intervention of God. " You see the fallacy? Without the direct intervention of God can not be the cure? God? S Santa Word tells us that God is Yehovah-Rapha, God, our healer. But only for a moment, think that God has tued his back on healing sick.You sick with the disease. Doctors say there's nothing more you can do. Should not survive. That bleak picture! Not because the doctors can say? Help, but because God is outside the picture.Friend, this is what happens many times a day in churches throughout the land: Churches tu to the sick in the body of Christ to the world. God did not abandon their children as a healer, churches have forsaken our God as a healer! When the teachers of the law wanted to know why the power or the name of an apostle, Peter, spiritual healing given to a lame man, Peter answered? And 'the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead man before I am healed ... Salvation is found in no other, because it is not under heaven other name given among men by which we must be saved. - Acts 4:10-12 (NIV) Note that Peter has not made any distinction between men? S healing and salvation, which are in death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (the Gospel). Although the men directed by Peter does not want to believe, however, understood that his statement. Why? No? Peter said that this man was healed, and not because he (Peter) is an apostle, one of a select group of men, but from the healing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.What a statement! This is the crux of the cross, the absolute beginning and end of all healing, whether physical or spiritual. Nothing has happened to change this reality, since these words of Peter spoke about 2000 years ago. As God is free from oppression of all people, so is God? S intention of spiritual healing through Jesus Christ our Lord.Jim Lynn is the publisher of the Word of God for healing, a free newsletter, and author of the book, "The miracle of healing in the Church today."

The Calendar of God Almighty
11:07 PM Posted by Tyler Kelly
The Calendar of God Almighty In May 2002 began an apostle of sharing with me about the timing of the Lord, according to the Scriptures, and March 21 2003 I shared with a couple of people. This is like an apostle Based Sharing: Adelorez Greetings, I will now proceed with the timetable of the Lord as ordained in the creation of man to keep in touch with him. Genesis 1:14 Genesis 1:14 And God said, "There are lights in the firmament of heaven to separate day from night, and are the signs and for seasons, for days and years: Gen 1:15 and leave them to be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and they did. Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night: he also stars. Gen 1:17 And God in the firmament of heaven to give light to the earth, Gen 1:18 And in the day and night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. End quote. First we met a couple there are two lights in the sky. Second, that the light was breaking the "day" of the night. And we know that sunlight, which divide the day from night. Thirdly, in these days here in Genesis as "and the night and the moing of the first day, etc. Fourth, in the moing and evening, in these days" does not include the "night". But Sunday is divided day from night. Messiah Yahshua reveals that these days are called days of work only 12 hours in them. John 11th 9-10. John 11:9 Jesus answered, there are twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, not stumbleth, because it sees the light of this world. John 11:10 But if a man walks in the evening, stumbleth because there is no light in it. End quote. In Genesis 2:2 is also called working days. And on the seventh day God finished the job. End quote. And then as you continue with verse 14 in general, 1 is another type of day that allows you to read, and by and for seasons, for days and years: End quote. Here are other days, in addition to dividing day from night! The word "sign" is owth "= in Hebrew and it means that a signal, sign, make, model, or tests. Now Sunday is clearly serves two purposes: 1. To separate the light from the darkness to indicate that a working day has come and past. and 2. The sun indicates the year of revolutions equanoxes and soltices. but not to differentiate one days what day of the week or months or years. But the moon is a beacon of light for the evidence of what day of the month and day and what day of the year. And so this lesser light, "La Luna" is the flagship of evidence of other days, except in the moing to afteoon. Consider this, which is indicated in verse 14, and for stations (now that the word is in Hebrew seasons "Mawadah" and means "fixed) and we are in Leviticus 23: 32 ....... . but also that we celebrate their Sabbaths. And in Leviticus 23: 2-3 Lev 23:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say, with regard to the feasts of the Lord, who is to proclaim holy convocation, these are my feasts. Lev 23:3 six days of work to do, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation, you will not work on it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all homes. End quote. We believe that these words "vacation" in verse 2 are the same word for "seasons" in Genesis 1:14 and Psalm 104:19 (the words are "Mowadah" which means "fixed quotation marks) and then do as Saturday and Easter and Tabeacles, and the day of attonement are "fixed apointments" that will remain even in the workplace and the day to be "tomorrow" and only a period of 12 hours of time in which he / she appointed feasts of the Lord, along with 24 hours of time, determined by the moon rather than on Sundays, but on the day of the Moon is in 1 Samuel 20: 25-27 is called lunation doublin all others and can therefore be 48 hours "set by the moon appointed Lord has created this celestial body of the Moon is the" trial of all those covered by Schedule Universe! Taught in Matthew 10:16-26 to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. She teaches teaches us about the types of victimization and persecution. The good news is that the prosecution will be revoked and support divine. Now, I can not give a deadline for all events for only the Father knows the time. Matthew 10:16-26 Verse 16: Behold, I send you all like sheep among wolves is, therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Escapes Verse 17: But beware of men, to give him the scourge and advice in their synagogues; escapes Verse 18: And there shall be brought before goveors and kings because of me, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. Persecution has announced Verse 19: But when you offer, how can we not take thought or what we speak: for it must be because, in the same hour what you must speak, verse 20: Why is not that we speak but the Spirit of the Father who speaks in you. THE SPIRIT OF indwelling Verse 21: And the brother will deliver brother to death, and the father of the child, children, and rebel against their parents and have them put to death. Persecution has announced Verse 22: And be hated of all men for my name, but remaining at the end will be saved. BITTER HATE - RATE AND METHOD persecution Verse 23: But when you serve in this city, flee you into another: for truly I say to you there are the cities of Israel until the Son of man come. Matthew 16:28: Verily I say, we are here, not the taste of death until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. The ministry of Christ - GOSPEL OF YOUR SUCCESS The good news - the Gospel is for all humanity. Almighty God, the protector of all those who trust in you, your angels because of the field around our military personnel all over the world, every time their tracks could bring them. Send your father divine angels to be with those who are in slavery, to say nothing of his request that the angels in Iraq to give them comfort at this time. Guidance and control all the affairs of all mankind and all nations. Father will send revival world and I am so careful to give glory, honor and praise. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
