Believe Right!

Believers, has anyone ever warned you to “be careful because I had a dream/vision where people are plotting your downfall” and such, all while you were happily minding your own business? Have they gone as far as telling you things about yourself that you know they have no way of knowing? Did they tell you that unless you do such and such by your own power, something bad will happen to you? After you heard their "prophecy," did it happen that you got worried, fearful and couldn’t think about or concentrate on anything else? Then these words of our Saviour Jesus in John 14:27 are for you! – “ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” The Lord Himself says of us in Isaiah 54:15: Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.” Believer, these "seers" or "prophets" who bring...

We often forget that the Pharisees and teachers of religious law who rejected Christ were not people who could not wait for their synagogue service to end so that they could rush out to fornicate or murder somebody. These religious people prided themselves in their ability to keep the Law. Like many in the church today, they respected the Law and wanted to do good. No one alive today knows or kept the Law of Moses as well as they did (for starters, no temple for sacrifices;) yet none of them could cast the first stone at the woman that was caught in adultery. They were all just as deserving of death as the woman. The Law that the Pharisees tried to keep in order to be godly condemned them. Christ called them " white-washed tombs" and " brood of vipers." They had a form of godliness but denied Christ - the power that could make them godly.  If you look closely, the doctrine that is taught by leaders in many places of worship today is no different from that of...

Believer, Romans 10:17 says: " So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ."  But what is this Good News about Christ? Paul explains in Romans 1: 16 “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. 17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” Notice the gospel (Good News) is all about "how God makes us right in His sight" and how it is accomplished from START to FINISH by FAITH? Keeping the Law in order to maintain a life of godliness is not involved in our attainment of right-standing with God. The law is not of faith. Trying to obey the law in order to be godly (" be like God" like Adam and Eve did) is being faithless. And without faith it is impossible to please G...

Believers, the above verse (Romans 10:17) is translated as: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" in many popular versions of the Bible. Nothing wrong with this. Christ and God the Father are one.  However, for the purpose of rightly dividing the word, the translation that says " word of God " is technically incorrect. The correct translation of original Greek text says "... the word of Christ." Most bible verses have the precise translation from the original Greek text: " So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." NASB See the TPT: " Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One." See the NLT: " So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." The Law of Moses is the Word of God and every single dot of it will come to pass. But the Law of Moses is not the GOOD NEWS about Christ t...

Believers, there are some who try to replace the grace of our Lord with sheer license to sin. Others say Grace is not enough to transform the believer to living a life of moral excellence and so preach that false doctrine that says: "Yes we are saved by Grace through faith but you still have to keep the Law as a guiding principle for morality/in order to be godly/in order to be worthy at the Rapture, etc." These people are not under Grace but under the control of Satan the accuser. Their objective is to make believers become lukewarm  - neither cold nor hot; neither under Law nor under Grace; trying to add to Christ's finished work their own (self) righteousnesses from law-keeping which Isaiah describes as "a menstrual rag" in God's sight in Isaiah 64:6: " We are all like one who is unclean, all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in Your sight." Jude spoke of these scoundrels in Jude 1 and described them as spots...
