PERSECUTION WORLDWIDE
Where is Christian leadership?
Nations are demolishing the freedom to worship
throughout their entire countries.
China is persecuting, jailing, beating, and killing the Christian church
throughout their large country.
God knows all, sees all, and judges all. The Christian churches of the West will be judged for turning their backs on their brothers and sisters in China, Pakistan, India, the world. The politicians will be judged for not demanding a stop to the atrocities being committed. The media will be judged for keeping secret the crimes being committed.
Every Christian will be judged for not protesting.

COLINA CORTEZ

Heavenly Father
I thank You for all the blessing You have given us – all we can see and all the blessing we can not see. Thank You.

     Father I pray for Colina Cortez in Baja California Tijuana. I pray it would be your will that a church will be built in that neighborhood – I pray that Your light will shine bright as the people there learn more about You and they can feel your peace and love everyday as they work through life as the needs are many.
     Lord I pray for the lot across the street from Salvador’s home that the owner would bless the ministry and allow them to use it as a children's church for Bible study and a kitchen to feed those in need of help and to use it as a play ground for the children.
     Lord I lift these prayers to You and I pray that they are in your will.
I give You all praise and glory.
In Jesus name I pray.
Margie Dean, Idyllwild, CA

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2Ti.2:3,2:4

'Lord, teach us to pray.' Yes, to pray
'And it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, that when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray.'--LUKE xi. 1.

'Lord, teach us to pray.' Yes, to pray. This is what we need to be taught. Though in its beginnings prayer is so simple that the feeblest child can pray, yet it is at the same time the highest and holiest work to which man can rise. It is fellowship with the Unseen and Most Holy One. The powers of the eternal world have been placed at its disposal. It is the very essence of true religion, the channel of all blessings, the secret of power and life. Not only for ourselves, but for others, for the Church, for the world, it is to prayer that God has given the right to take hold of Him and His strength. It is on prayer that the promises wait for their fulfillment, the kingdom for its coming, the glory of God for its full revelation. And for this blessed work, how slothful and unfit we are. It is only the Spirit of God can enable us to do it aright. How speedily we are deceived into a resting in the form, while the power is wanting. Our early training, the teaching of the Church, the influence of habit, the stirring of the emotions--how easily these lead to prayer which has no spiritual power, and avails but little. True prayer, that takes hold of God's strength, that availeth much, to which the gates of heaven are really opened wide--who would not cry, Oh for some one to teach me thus to pray?

The Certainty of the Answer to Prayer
'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened,'--MATT. vii. 7, 8.
'Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss.'--Jas. iv. 3.
OUR Lord returns here in the Sermon on the Mount a second time to speak of prayer. The first time He had spoken of the Father who is to be found in secret, and rewards openly, and had given us the pattern prayer (Matt. vi. 5-15). Here He wants to teach us what in all Scripture is considered the chief thing in prayer: the assurance that prayer will be heard and answered. Observe how He uses words which mean almost the same thing, and each time repeats the promise so distinctly: 'Ye shall receive, ye shall find, it shall be opened unto you;' and then gives as ground for such assurance the law of the kingdom: 'He that asketh, receiveth; he that seeketh, findeth; to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.' We cannot but feel how in this sixfold repetition He wants to impress deep on our minds this one truth, that we may and must most confidently expect an answer to our prayer. Next to the revelation of the Father's love, there is, in the whole course of the school of prayer, not a more important lesson than this: Every one that asketh, receiveth.
Andrew Murray

Arguing with God
Subject: Arguing with God, George Mueller of Bristol

Here's a tale. We have a beautiful home. Our patios, one side overlooks the tall snow-peaked mountains, the other, the warm Southern California sunset. We host each week our church's prayer meeting. Sharon and I often cut out writings to provoke prayer and discussions about faith. But this time fireworks erupted. (see below). Our pastor took offense, disputed almost every line, and argued violently. It really hit a nerve.

There are two types of followers. One hears His voice, He calls them by name, and they follow (John 10) . The others are often very religious, orthodox in belief, but follow only a far off. Down deep, fuzzy about God's will for their lives, they never have the faith that John speaks of…..
(1John 5:14). And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
(5:15) And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

Our Father in heaven knows
Our Father in heaven knows our frame and remembers that we are dust. He knew our inborn treachery, and for His own sake engaged to save us (Isa. 48:8-11). His only begotten Son, when He walked among us, felt our pains in their naked intensity of anguish. His knowledge of our afflictions and adversities is more than theoretic; it is personal, warm, and compassionate. Whatever may befall us, God knows and cares as no one else can.

The Living Word of God
As usual it came suddenly. A notorious band of brigands was on its way to the city, and the people were fleeing in hot haste. The confusion was indescribable.
The Bible women had gathered from two provinces (China). They were told immediately that they were quite free to leave and that although I myself felt perfectly assured that I was to stay where I was, none of them were to remain on my account. We decided to spend a while in private prayer alone, and without speaking to others, to ask God to give us a word from the Bible to rest upon. When we met again, they were asked one by one what word had been given. After the first two had answered, they all brightened up noticeably. I began to guess what was coming: they had all been given the same word. I might have doubted it was really so but for the overwhelming realization that I myself had been given the very same promise; "I will not destroy it (the city) for the ten's sake ( Genesis 18:32).
"And we are more than ten here.," the women said joyfully. The text is not one we had read together in our Bible course either. We had a good time of praise together. All of the anxiety for the group of women I was responsible for had blown away.
We lay down in our clothes that night. There was some shooting and some heavy bombing too, at first, then all was silent. Early in the morning we were told that the bandits had left the city in great haste. They were said to have heard that a large army was coming to relieve the city and was not far off. We were a very happy group of women that day. We had personally experienced the presence of God, for one of His own promises had been literally fulfilled before our eyes.
No relieving army ever arrived.

God keeps no secrets
Subject: God keeps no secrets; knowing the will of God

‘If we ask according to His will; Or, Our Boldness in Prayer
‘And this is the boldness which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us. And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of Him.’—I JOHN v. 14, 15.
ONE of the greatest hindrances to believing prayer is with many undoubtedly this: they know not if what they ask is according to the will of God. As long as they are in doubt on this point, they cannot have the boldness to ask in the assurance that they certainly shall receive. And they soon begin to think that, if once they have made known their requests, and receive no answer, it is best to leave it to God to do according to His good pleasure. The words of John, ‘If we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us,’ as they understand them, make certainty as to answer to prayer impossible, because they cannot be sure of what really may be the will of God. They think of God’s will as His hidden counsel—how should man be able to fathom what really may be the purpose of the all-wise God.

Man's free will and God's omnipotence
There is often great confusion as to the will of God. People think that what God wills must inevitably take place. This is by no means the case. God wills a great deal of blessing to His people, which never comes to them. He wills it most earnestly, but they do not will it, and it cannot come to them. This is the great mystery of man’s creation with a free will, and also of the renewal of his will in redemption, that God has made the execution of His will, in many things, dependent on the will of man. Of God’s will revealed in His promises, so much will be fulfilled as our faith accepts. Prayer is the power by which that comes to pass which otherwise would not take place. And faith, the power by which it is decided how much of God’s will shall be done in us. When once God reveals to a soul what He is willing to do for it, the responsibility for the execution of that will rests with us.

God’s infinite wisdom
It is vitally important that we hold the truth of God’s infinite wisdom as a tenet of our creed; but this is not enough. We must by the exercise of faith and by prayer bring it into the practical world of our day-by-day experience.

‘I go unto the Father!’
‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do.’ John 14: 12,13

In one Accord, with all our heart
"That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:19

The message is, "Let your heart take courage, all ye that wait on the Lord."

This is now the blessedness of waiting upon God, that I confess the impotence of all my thoughts and efforts, and set myself still to bow my heart before Him in holy silence, and to trust Him to renew and strengthen His own work in me. And this is just the lesson of our text, "Let your heart take courage, all ye that wait on the Lord."

Present it (your heart) before Him as that wonderful part of your spiritual nature in which God reveals Himself, and by which you can know Him.
Give your whole heart, with its secret workings, into God’s hands continually.

Remember the difference between knowing with the mind and believing with the heart.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.

"Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, And He shalt exalt thee to inherit the land." Ps. 37:34.
The outer life must be in harmony with the inner; the inner must be the inspiration and the strength for the outer.

Put your power in God’s omnipotence, and find in waiting on God your deliverance.
Your failure has been owing to only one thing: you sought to conquer and obey in your own strength

"Wait on the Lord, and keep His way" will be command and promise in one.
"My soul, wait thou only upon God!"

‘LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!’
‘LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!’
-----0------
Blessed Lord! Thy lesson this day has again discovered to me my folly. I see how it is that my prayer has not been more believing and prevailing. I was more occupied with my speaking to Thee than Thy speaking to me. I did not understand that the secret of faith is this: there can be only so much faith as there is of the Living Word dwelling in the soul.

Have Faith in God
'Have faith in God;'
Or, The Secret of believing Prayer.
'Jesus, answering, said unto them, Have faith in God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what He saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them.'--MARK xi. 22-24.
THE promise of answer to prayer is one of the most wonderful in all Scripture. In how many hearts it has raised the question: How ever can I attain the faith that knows that it receives all it asks?
It is this question our Lord would answer today. Before He gave that wonderful promise to His disciples, He spoke another word, in which He points out where the faith in the answer to prayer takes its rise, and ever finds its strength. HAVE FAITH IN GOD: this word precedes the other, Have faith in the promise of an answer to prayer. The power to believe a promise depends entirely, but only, on faith in the promiser. Trust in the person begets trust in his word. It is only when we live and associate with God in personal, loving intercourse, where GOD HIMSELF is all to us, where our whole being is continually opened up and exposed to the mighty influences that are at work where His Holy Presence is revealed, that the capacity will be developed for believing that He gives whatsoever we ask.
This connection between faith in God and faith in His promise will become clear to us if we think what faith really is. It is of importance that we should understand that faith is the ear by which I hear what is promised, the eye by which I see what is offered me. On this the power to take depends. I must hear the person who gives me the promise: the very tone of his voice gives me courage to believe. I must see him: in the light of his eye and countenance all fear as to my right to take passes away. The value of the promise depends on the promiser: it is on my knowledge of what the promiser is that faith in the promise depends.
It is for this reason that Jesus, before He gives that wonderful prayer-promise, first says, 'HAVE FAITH IN GOD.' That is, let thine eye be open to the Living God, and gaze on Him, seeing Him who is Invisible. Believing God is just looking to God and what He is, allowing Him to reveal His presence, giving Him time and yielding the whole being to take in the full impression of what He is as God, the soul opened up to receive and rejoice in the overshadowing of His love. Yes, faith is the eye to which God shows what He is and does: through faith the light of His presence and the workings of His mighty power stream into the soul. As that which I see lives in me, so by faith God lives in me too.
And even so faith is also the ear through which the voice of God is always heard and intercourse with Him kept up. It is through the Holy Spirit the Father speaks to us; the Son is the Word, the substance of what God says; the Spirit is the living voice. This the child of God needs to lead and guide him; the secret voice from heaven must teach him what to say and what to do. An ear opened towards God, that is, a believing heart waiting on Him, to hear what He says, will hear Him speak. The words of God will not only be the words of a Book, but, proceeding from the mouth of God, they will be spirit and truth, life and power. They will bring in deed and living experience what are otherwise only thoughts. Through this opened ear the soul tarries under the influence of the life and power of God Himself. As the words I hear enter the mind and dwell and work there, so through faith God enters the heart, and dwells and works there.

ALL growth in the spiritual life
ALL growth in the spiritual life is connected with the clearer insight into what Jesus is to us. The more I realize that Christ must be all to me and in me, that all in Christ is indeed for me, the more I learn to live the real life of faith, which, dying to self, lives wholly in Christ. The Christian life is no longer the vain struggle to live right, but the resting in Christ and finding strength in Him as our life, to fight the fight and gain the victory of faith. Under the law of faith alone, seen in the light of the fullness and completeness there is in Jesus, the believer understands that it need no longer be a matter of strain or anxious care, but an experience of what Christ will do for him and in him—a participation in that life of Christ which, as on earth, so in heaven, ever ascends to the Father as prayer. The whole of salvation is Christ Himself: He has given HIMSELF to us; He Himself lives in us.
Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer

Hebr 12
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

Prayer and the Word of God
Dear Prayer partners:
Here's a recent writing, I hope you enjoy it. I guess I could call it, Prayer and the Word of God.

Love in Christ, Norman

John 16:13 when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak
John 14:26 he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

‘The result of this was, that the first evening that I shut myself into my room, to give myself to prayer and meditation over the Scriptures, I learned more in a few hours than I had done during a period of several months previously. George Mueller

O you seeking soul, I am writing for those who have a heart for God, that want only to know Him, and do His will. We are living in perilous days. Bible doctrine is not difficult or shrouded in mystery saved for only a few wise or learned men. Christ, the Apostles and the prophets all worshipped the same God, and carried the same doctrines. Yet today, all around us is falsehood. Young, zealous believers are swept up into strange cults, or even stranger worldly churches. Their faith, their first-love, their personal relationship with God and His Spirit are eaten up by false interpretations of His word. They surrender themselves to "elder" teachers and are poisoned.

Why is there so much false doctrine today, so many misinterpretations? Simple words on faith, about judgment, of mercy get lost in a tower of Babel the deceiver has built to deceive the very elect. The Bible is studied, often twice or three times a week at the local church, but its simple message about the straight and narrow way is complicated, debated, and ignored. Why?

A young believer, a new convert is saved. He's delivered, he has new Life, and a love and zeal for God. Instead of trusting the Spirit that called him to salvation, he puts his trust in man, in his teacher, his elder. The teacher, the elder trusts in learnt Biblical knowledge. The mind, the unyielding, darkened mind without the indwelling Spirit always leads us down the wrong path and the wrong choices. The mind is clever, and man-made religion is created.
Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures

REVIVAL WORLD-WIDE!
The Third Person of the Godhead, the Eternal Spirit of the Father,
comes forth to bear witness to the Crucified and Risen Lord
and clothe human beings with Divine authority
as His messengers.

The following are excerpts from the journalism of a woman who experienced one of the greatest revivals of all ages---she starts by highlighting the first Pentecost in the New Testament at Jerusalem….

The city of Jerusalem knew nothing of the little company quietly meeting and praying in the upper room! But now they could not be hid. Hearing the sound of voices the multitude came together, and saw the Spirit-filled company so manifestly under the control of some power which lifted them out of themselves that some said “They are filled with new wine,” whilst all were amazed and marveled, saying, “Are not all these which speak Galileans? “— untaught, uncultured people from the province of Galilee.

The prophecy of Joel, proclaimed by Peter foretold of a wider fulfillment ...
In answer to the charge of being filled with wine Peter rose to speak—the very man who just a fortnight before had denied his Lord in that same city. Speaking under the constraint of the Divine Spirit, he said, “This is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel:- “And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy . . . . on My servants, and on My handmaidens in those days will I pour forth of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”

Wider fulfillment of the prophecy….
Let us mark the words, for they vitally concern the people of God to-day. “This is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel,” said the Apostle. Not “this is the entire fulfilment of the prophecy.” It is written “ I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all flesh,” and this speaks of a larger circle than one hundred and twenty men and women. Yea, a larger circle than even the three thousand and five thousand souls, and “multitudes” more of men and women so quickly “added to the Lord.” The words undoubtedly foretell a wider fulfillment of the prophecy than took place at Pentecost.

The outpouring of the Spirit must reach the uttermost parts of earth and the wayward Church will turn back to the Lord…….
Joel said “in those days will I pour out My Spirit.” The expression “is in the long Hebrew tense, expressing continuance of action, literally an incoming, unfinished, and continuous outpouring.’ It therefore appears that the words ‘‘ in those days cover the whole dispensation of the Spirit, beginning with the day of Pentecost. The purpose of God was manifestly a beginning in the upper room; and a continuing upon wider and wider circles as the overflowing stream of life reached the “uttermost parts of the earth “; but alas, alas, the Church, instead of abiding in a Pentecostal condition, drifted further and further away from it.

Nevertheless the Word of God standeth sure. The Church shall be brought back to her Pentecost when she knows her need and turns to the Lord…..

NOW IS THAT TIME !

DIFFICULT SUBJECTS...made easy!

A DIFFERENT SPIRIT: Itching Ears
Psychology, positive thinking, and easy-believism, the three pillars of the modern church.
2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Fear God and rejoice with trembling. Psalms.

Let's compare New Testament Christianity with modern Christianity. The fear of God is rarely mentioned today. Every psychologist knows that fear is the enemy to right thinking and positive motivation. But in the Bible the fear of God is a major subject and a necessity of man. Or what about God's swift judgment on all sin. Oh no, we must think positively about the future. Every pastor knows, be positive or lose his congregation. The message today is therapeutic , we all sin, God understands, lets work on it together.
The wrath and vengeance of God, the soon destruction of the world, the hatred of God towards evil man, the holiness of God and the fallen nature of man, these are repeated subjects in the Bible that draw men God-wards. Faith, a most precious commodity that requires whole-hearted cultivation and constant contending can easily be turned on once or twice a week . The cares of this world, the desires for other things, the concern over money, negative subjects hardly preached by any preacher that's worth his salt today.

0 Lord Jesus! teach me to understand and believe what Thou hast now promised me. It is not hid from Thee, 0 my Lord, with what reasonings my heart seeks to satisfy itself, when no answer comes. There is the thought that my prayer is not in harmony with the Father's secret counsel ; that there is perhaps something better Thou wouldest give me; or that prayer as fellowship with God is blessing enough without an answer And yet, my blessed Lord, I find in Thy teaching on prayer that Thou didst not speak of these things, but didst say so plainly, that prayer may and must expect an answer. Thou doth assure us that this is the fellowship of a child with the Father; the child asks and the Father gives.
Blessed Lord ! Thy words are faithful and true. It must be, because I pray amiss, that my experience of answered prayer is not clearer. It must be, because I live too little in the Spirit, that my prayer is too little in the Spirit, and that the power for the prayer of faith is wanting.
Lord ! teach me to pray. Lord Jesus! I trust Thee for it; teach me to pray in faith. Lord teach me this lesson of to-day! Every one that asketh, receiveth. Amen.
Andrew Murray

The Withering of the Fig Tree
Dear Guy:

Here's an interesting recent clip, I thought you might like.
Dr. Michio Kaku on "Physics of the Future: How Science Will Change Daily Life by 2100"
http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/13/d ... physics_of
A nuclear physicist with an optimistic view of your future. You know, contact lens computer chips, cars that guide us on auto-pilot, solar power, gene therapy to maintain the fountain of youth for decades, a bright future based on (as Emerson would say), the intellect or "mind" of man.
My view, of course, is totally different. Based on history and based on the present, there is no reason for optimistic dreaming. I see more war, more famine(man-made), more plagues (stronger more resilient viruses), and yes, earthquakes in diverse places. The rich are getting richer, the poor poorer. Never has the wicked been more powerful, the money-culture has never been in such control, and as Peter warned, the love of money is the root of all evil. Education, media-information, politics, culture, never has money had so much power and influence. Even the middle-class, and their youth that once aspired to freedom, love, and good-deeds have only one desire, to make it and be rich themselves.

You are an exception. I am impressed. You have a strong intellect, positive vision, and want to share it. If only you had God; with His light (and direction) you could accomplish miracles.

Did you know, another reason I trust the Bible is that when carefully studied, it is a book of prophecy with incredible accuracy. The decay of the modern church (most churches are social clubs filled with people afraid to live) is explained in detail, the cause, the signs and the remedy).

Babylon, the final world-wide night-mare, with its slaves and rule over the souls of man is described, chapter by chapter, line by line, by the prophets of old. Is this the system that is destroying the world, is this what some call Modern-capitalism?

If you care to dialog, I am always available. (As a writer, I'm more comfortable via email than in speech) Please be open, and compare your experience with your mental -vision.

Love, Norman

PRAYER and the WORD and SPIRIT of GOD
John 16:13 when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak
John 14:26 he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

O you seeking soul, I am writing for those who have a heart for God, that want only to know Him, and do His will. We are living in perilous days. Bible doctrine is not difficult or shrouded in mystery saved for only a few wise or learned men. Christ, the Apostles and the prophets all worshipped the same God, and carried the same doctrines. Yet today, all around us is falsehood. Young, zealous believers are swept up into strange cults, or even stranger worldly churches. Their faith, their first-love, their personal relationship with God and His Spirit are eaten up by false interpretations of His word. They surrender themselves to "elder" teachers and are poisoned.

Why is there so much false doctrine today, so many misinterpretations? Simple words on faith, about judgment, of mercy get lost in a tower of Babel the deceiver has built to deceive the very elect. The Bible is studied, often twice or three times a week at the local church, but its simple message about the straight and narrow way is complicated, debated, and ignored. Why?

A young believer, a new convert is saved. He's delivered, he has new Life, and a love and zeal for God. Instead of trusting the Spirit that called him to salvation, he puts his trust in man, in his teacher, his elder. The teacher, the elder trusts in learnt Biblical knowledge. The mind, the unyielding, darkened mind without the indwelling Spirit always leads us down the wrong path and the wrong choices. The mind is clever, and man-made religion is created.
Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures

But it's so simple. Just as we're saved by God, we are delivered by God. Fresh, daily revelation from God's Word by God's Spirit through faith, through prayer, through obedience. Faith hears the word of God, faith is what saves us, faith is what keeps us. Approach His word in faith, trust He is speaking and wants to lead us. Keep reading, keep seeking, keep praying, and you will have more understanding than all your teachers.
Psalm 119: 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

But here's the most important point. Act on it, obey it. God reveals His word to you by the Holy Spirit. The two go hand in hand. The Spirit leads us into all truth, all true understanding of God's word is by His Spirit. Take the leap of faith that God's word is demanding, the sometimes radical action, the sacrifice, the confession, the giving. Self, the cares of this life, worldly ambitions and duties, gradually all fade away as we become more and more filled with His Spirit, His joyous Life and Love.

But so many of us are afraid and uncommitted. Long ago, God was speaking to us. He was showing us out of His Word, He was teaching us. He wanted us to follow Him, to pick up the cross daily and follow. In our hearts, we said NO to His Holy Spirit, and He quietly departed. All left to us was, lots of mental Bible knowledge and a carnal religious experience. Busy with religious works, but no power and no teacher to guide us. But the Spirit is still calling, God in His mercy declares the truth, not man-made doctrines to justify our self, our hidden pride, our worldliness and our lack of faith. The truth will set us free.

TAKING DEATH OUT OF THE BIBLE
No, I haven't become a "Holy Roller". And I'm not going to start
preaching that you're going to hell if you read the NIV, or another
modern translation of the Bible. I have friends, very spiritual who I respect, who swear by the NIV. I've even discussed the matter with foreigners, who have a basic grasp of the English language and can't handle the classic language of the King James Version (KJV, or
Authorized Version). I sympathize with them.

But I also deeply respect Voice of the Martyrs, their leader and spokesman, Tom White and what they are doing. They send medical teams to help, they support widows who have suffered through deep persecutions, they are on the side and protectors of family and church.

Here's a recent statement. It didn't shock me. The modern church has strayed so far from the fundamentals of our faith into psychology(mental health) and positive thinking. Check it out for yourself. Is it true what he's saying, that they've taken death out of the new Bible? Norm

"As a young man, I was privileged to hear pastors and evangelists who were not afraid to confront me with unvarnished Christianity, which included teaching on our approach to death and how Jesus is our door to heaven. In Texas or Oklahoma, we might call that “taking the bull by the horns.” In my travels to more than 100 countries, I have seen the bodies of those killed for their faith, and I have seen their families singing and proclaiming victory in Jesus even while wrestling with their grief.

I do not need to be shielded by a miserably comfortable religion, existing in what I call a “numbed down Christianity.
One current example of this dangerous numbing down of the Christian faith is the 2011 NIV Bible. It was written, it seems, by cowards for cowards.

In Job, Amos, Psalms, Isaiah and Jeremiah, the translators have removed all 16 references to our greatest motivator for evangelizing — the “shadow of death” — and replaced the phrase with “darkness.” The words “shadow of death” in the Old Testament are from the Hebrew word Tsalmaveth.” which literally means the “grave” or, figuratively. “calamity.” The grave has been artfully removed.

Now Job in his struggles never has to face death. He only faces some kind of internal “darkness.” Today he could simply get a prescription to avoid this challenge.

And what about Psalm 23 — the valley of the “shadow of death”? The new NIV has made it a footnote, so God does not have to hold David’s hand unless he is afraid of the dark. With this new translation. David can simply take a pill or enter counseling to overcome his temporary fear of”darkness.” or just pray his gloomy feeling away. Any potential sense of conviction stemming from a test of his faith with the big bull of death is conveniently avoided."
Tom White, Director of VOM "Taking the Bull by the Horns"

YES, NO OR MAYBE
Maybe your church prays each week for the persecuted Christians all over the world, brothers and sisters, their homes and churches burnt down, their bodies tortured and killed, their families thrown in jail.

Maybe your pastor often discusses war, reminding us of current events, making us aware of its horror. The nature of war is evil, the result of war is death and destruction to our troops and allies and innocent civilians. Maybe your church prays often for peace, war's end and the return of our troops.

Maybe your church is a "house of prayer". Maybe a large part of the congregation meets for prayer, for intercession, for revival, for souls.

Maybe a large percentage of the activities are directed towards soul-winning, bringing light and Holy Ghost conviction to the darkened and lost, compelling them in, throughout the neighborhood, the city, the world. Maybe Bible study, singings, retreats, and pot-lucks take second place to fruit-bearing.

If not, then maybe the good feelings, the joy, the warm fellowships and communions, all may be coming from a different spirit.

See you for prayer and fellowship, Wednesday at 6PM

THE LORD'S SERMON

The sermon on the mount was an event. As the Lord promised and declared from the beginning, heaven and earth shall pass away, but not His words. Most everybody knows this sermon, many of its verses have been memorized, but sadly, most are gospel hardened, they've heard and rejected and refused to obey so many times that His words just bounce off them. I've taken all scriptural references and quotes from this one sermon, from the time he went up into a mountain and opened his mouth to teach (Matt 5:1-2) to the time when he ended his sayings (Matt7:28).

The sermon is short, clear, and simple. It explains specifically what the doctrine of Christ is (7:28), His laws , and His will. It depicts the nature of a Christian as a child of God and how he should act in this world with God as his father. And it warns of hypocrisy, of false teachers , and of judgment.

Let's start with hypocrisy, because so many have heard and refused, but still think themselves to be religious.
Luke 6:46 why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (all scripture referred to here is from this one sermon)
Matt5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
(exceed the righteousness of the hypocrite, the religious, the false church-goers of every age or don't enter into heaven)
Matt7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Busy beavers, prophesying, casting out devils, doing many wonderful works in the name of Jesus, laden with sin and hell-bound. Gospel hardened, why call Jesus your Lord, and do not the things that he says?

(CONTINUED IN TOPIC…. "The many and the few...The Lord's Sermon continued")

We are of the same Spirit
Here are three essays that are essential to understanding the TRUE Christian Church in the world today. They are entitled "the violent Take it by Force", "See Here is Water" and "Living in the Underground Church". I will also add another. "Reflecting the Face of Jesus". The persecuted people described in these articles are my family, my church. The picture of the North African parents are my parents, the death of their son, the death of my brother, the orphaned grandchild, my grandchild.
And their glorious, victorious words "We are not angry. We are proud. Our son died for Christ." make me rejoice in thanksgiving that I have a family, a church like this. We are of the same Spirit.

Why is there so much violence?
The latest Christian news-emails received from around the world……………….
Activists from a Hindu-nationalist movement attacked members of two Christian communities on Nov. 12 and 13 in Karnataka state, India accusing them of forced conversions. Al-Qaida-affiliated Boko Haram extremist group, on Nov. 4, stormed the city of Damaturu, Nigeria, murdering one hundred fifty people in the four-hour rampage -- 130 of them Christians.. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (NCEASL) reports that a staff member and volunteer were attacked by a gang and badly injured last month in the town of Vavuniya, Sri Lanka.

Why is there so much violence against Christians in places of the world where Christianity was once accepted? There are a lot of political reasons, but besides very basic, secular reasons, there are spiritual reasons that no one wants to look at, especially the "forward thinking" individual. But for those who can look beyond what they can see with the immediate eye, here are some points.
First, in the spiritual realm is the concept of good and evil, which even the simplest liberal mind can grasp. If murder is evil, then these undeserving Christians are victims of targeted over-powering evil. Barring all political influence, Christians in the world are suffering persecution more intensely than any other political or ethnic group in the world today. You just don't hear about it from the world mass-media.
"The attacks on Christians continue, and the world remains totally silent," an anonymous Christian told AsiaNews. "It's as if we've been swallowed up by the night."
Why? "
This lack of light on the situation, this deception by silence, is just part of the persecution by unmitigated evil.
My second point--Why is this unmitigated evil allowed to spread so rampantly against these Christians? The main reason is a spiritual one. The churches of the "Christian" West have failed to teach Christ's message and ways. Therefore the devil(perpetrator of all spiritual evil) has been able to deceive most of them. Western Christian churches have a million and one reasons for not speaking out against the murderers of their brethren. They join right along with secular mass-media. Is this good or evil? You judge.
My last point; a crowd with "one mind" has influence if it is big enough to withstand the force against it. Look at history--there have been thousands of successful revolutions and coups. Most of them brought about more oppression and the decimation of all individuals who were not "one mind" with the reigning crowd. Do you agree with the church crowd of the Christian West to ignore the murders of Christian brethren? If you do, you also agree with the "silent deception" of world-wide mass media to not only not report spiritual evil, but not report secular evil as well.

Why is there so much violence? 2 (Egypt, the nature of Islam and the failure of the West )
NEWS received December 2nd………………………...

Egypt’s two main Islamist blocs said they may have won about 70 percent of the votes in parliamentary elections. The alliance dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party won about 40 percent in the first round of the elections,...
The initial results suggest that Islamic parties will play a leading role in the next phase of Egypt’s transition toward democracy,….Wall Street Journal, Dec 2, 2011

In many ways, the biggest questions facing the country are: will the Brotherhood and the ruling military council clash or develop some form of partnership, and to what extent will the Brotherhood use its influence in the government to move toward a more Islamic state? But the conservatives who will become its coalition partners, the Salafis, often talk openly of laws mandating a shift to Islamic banking, restricting the sale of alcohol, providing special curriculums for boys and girls in public schools, and censoring the content of the arts and entertainment….The new York Times, Dec.2,2011

Police in India's Kashmir Valley recently detained seven Christian converts from Islam and arrested the pastor who baptized them. Police beat the Christians and asked them if they had received money for converting. The arrests occurred after police saw a video showing Pastor Chander Khanna baptizing the converts at his church. Kashmir's grand mufti, the highest religious legal official, accused the church of offering money to young Muslims in exchange for their conversion to Christianity. The mufti said the video provided definitive evidence that the converted Muslims were "lured" to Christianity. However, Pastor Khanna said the seven arrested Christians told police they would sign affidavits saying they willingly converted without duress or allurement. Please pray for the few hundred Christians in this part of India, where tensions remain high between Christians and Muslims….Compass Direct News Dec.2,2011
These headlines warrant some facts about Islam. The following paragraphs summarize my research…..

One of the most important is the fact that, according to the historic Muslim understanding, there is no separation between religion and government—what in Christianity would be called the separation of church and state. It is a contribution to the world of ideas that was made by Christians—indeed, by Christ himself. In pagan Rome, Caesar was God. Christians were taught to differentiate between what is due to Caesar and what is due to God. For Muslims the law was God’s law, and in principle there could be no other. The question of separating church and state did not arise, since there was no church, as an autonomous institution, to be separated. Church and state were one and the same. This means that, in the historic Muslim understanding, Islamic society is or should be a theocracy—a society in which God himself is the monarch, reigning on earth through subordinates. In the earliest days of Islam, the subordinate was the prophet Mohammed, who founded Islam and conquered the Arabian Peninsula. Thereafter the subordinate was the caliphs and in the centuries after Mohammed’s death they expanded Muslim society by conquering peoples as far west as Spain and as far east as India. In the process, they absorbed half of Christian civilization. Eventually, the power of the caliphs waned, and new leaders—such as the Ottoman sultans—were the subordinates. Throughout it all, God himself was regarded as the ruler of Islamic civilization. Islam and the West, historian Bernard Lewis

Why is there so much violence 3
"The so-called "Arab Spring" continues to transition into a "Christian Winter"........

"A rash of attacks on Christian-owned businesses in Northern Iraq has raised troubling questions about the future safety of the country's shrinking Christian community, particularly as U.S. forces withdraw completely from the nation they've refereed since 2003. The attacks, which have received little international attention, raged through northern cities following a sermon last Friday by a local mullah." Fox News Dec.9, 2011

The sky is not falling...
Here's a couple of emails that give help leaning on the Lord in times of turmoil and life-determining decision making.
1st EMAIL………….
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest
shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
Isaiah 30:15
When we act in turmoil, it will end in failure and defeat.
     When we grasp, when we take that "leap of faith", we land in Satan's
kingdom, and Satan's control.
     When we feel we "must act", don't do it.
Wait. Wait on the Lord.   Wait for peace in your mind and soul about what
to do next. Return to rest and quietness.   God will speak and show you
His way. Then you have confidence in His Promises, confidence in His
Spirit to lead you and confidence in His Power. But wait, wait my soul, on
the Lord.
    Les, if you decide to move back, please call me first.
Your Brother in Christ, Norman
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, Rev.18:4
2nd EMAIL……..
The left looks through blinders, the right through childish thinking and kaleidoscopes . The left looks longingly back to the "New Deal" or the wage expansion of the 60's, the right to the Colonial Revolution or the Reagan era.
     Wage stagnation didn't cause the real-estate bubble to pop. Blind selfish consumerism and spiking oil prices (check your charts) did.   Changing the system won't change the nature of man. The "99 Percent" vote for the 1 Percent's front men (Obama and Bush). They desire to be like the 1 Percent and have what they have.
     I heard your lengthy radio interview yesterday (a few months old). Globalism, a cause of many problems (including wage stagnation) wasn't even mentioned.   The left has a hard time with this one, remember Lennon's "Imagine", no borders or countries. Companies say "Stop demanding pay-hikes, pensions and benefits or we'll ship our plant to Mexico". Regulate the brokers on Wall Street and they'll merely move to London. Obama's point man for US job growth is the chief of GE that has 75% of it’s employees working below minimum wage overseas. Even an elementary Bible school student knows the dream of globalism (the tower of Babel) is vain and hurtful.
     You didn't mention the market ( now called "Wall Street") as a major cause of the horrors we may be facing for decades.   The market enslaves us, as soon as we are able to turn on the TV. The market destroys our thinking (we choose the candidate with the best ads and appearance). The market destroys our health, selling us drugs we don't need, and insurance instead of health-care. The market demands our savings (keeping long-term CD's at only 1 percent return). The market takes away our security, promoting the business of war. The market destroys our environment , profiting oil companies rather than long-term job creating alternatives. The market is based on short-term profits and fast money, not long-term investments in our future. The market creates spiking commodities and food shortages, another real problem. The market changes currencies, a sign of the wealth of a nation, into fast-moving risk-alternatives.
     I'm sure you understand. You understand many things. As you said, even the idea of democracy requires painful analysis. Just look at Egypt, the revolution may bring virginity tests. It's easy to say the system is wrong, the system is wrong. But the people are wrong. Their values are wrong, materialism is wrong. Conservation, efficiency, even poverty is not so bad, when you have contentment and a happy family. (I liked your thoughts on economic stress and how it relates to the family). But Marx, Trotsky, Keynes are old ideas that have already failed.   Why not try the teachings of Jesus? As he promised, heaven and earth shall pass away, but not my words.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN
The Garden of Eden, an email…….

Dear Arnold:
Sorry for the delayed reply. Great news, that you are getting your book out. We can't wait to see it, the pictures we've already viewed, and the stories we've already heard of your travels are exciting.
     I'm still writing, and am inspired more often then not. The internet medium is working well for us. Sharon gets a kick out of the 100 or so visitors that every day view and download. Someday, we'll probably gather it all in a book form, I hope.
    I'm putting together a new essay about food, nutrition, health and God. A difficult subject for me because science is not my expertise.   The sad irony, as I was preparing it, I hear about Julie's rare disease. Anyway, here's some rough notes……..
Psalm 81 (David, the Psalmist of Israel)
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me 16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
     The subject is the garden of Eden (Moses wrote about it, in his first book, Genesis). God is benevolent, God is the source of life and sustenance, God is good.
The garden, the garden of Eden, with all its fruits and herbs to give man pleasure and support life.
     We are now living in strange times. Knowledge has increased. Polio, scarlet fever, even aids has been conquered.   But we're living in epidemic times, plagues of high-blood pressure, heart attack, cancer, and life-threatening diabetes. Man is addicted to salt, to sugar, to over-eating, to self-destructiveness.
     All of this proves that Moses was right, that he had clear vision from God. Food, simple food from the garden, herbs, fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts…..now listen to these recent scientific studies.
One mushroom a day (10 grams) and a woman has a 64 percent less chance of breast cancer.
One large bowl of salad a day and possibly 85 percent of all cancer and cardiovascular disease would be eradicated.
People that eat seeds and nuts regularly live an extra 10 years.
These are not discoveries of some new-age gurus, but doctors doing detailed observations over many years.
There are micro-nutrients in a green salad that fight and insulate against many diseases. Same with mushrooms, onions, fruits, etc.   Right out of the garden. God is good.
PS Chew slowly, and get all the nutrients.
Love, Norman

GENESIS I …...

24 ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was
so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their
kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God
saw that it was good.

26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth.

29 ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of
a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every
thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given
every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

WHAT? I don't believe it…it couldn't be…you're kidding...
There are those that do not believe that Christianity is a persecuted minority in the world today. They come from Western societies where Christianity has been the dominate religion for a while and cannot imagine that anyone would really care that much about it because they don't. How strange, many of these people are fairly educated and certainly keep up with world events, but never see the devastation that befalls Christian communities, churches or individuals in most everywhere else in the world. This is not their fault. It is never published in mainstream media nor broadcast over media airwaves. It is even ignored by the President of the United States, who must have some inkling of what is happening to world-wide minorities in the human rights arena.
But, alas, the few brave souls who do scream out about it are labeled fanatics, alarmist, intolerant, not-willing-to-compromise; anything but look at the truth of the matter. Christians in Muslim-ruled countries are being jailed, tortured, executed and murdered daily and there is not a nation in the world who trying to stop the persecution, not one.
What is the horrible crime? Are they rioting on the streets or demanding their rights in demonstrations?
No, most of them are attacked and killed during their prayer meetings, or church services or defending their beliefs against an onslaught. Most of them are just simple, humble people who love the Lord Jesus Christ who are being forced to suffer for His Name's Sake. And who are strengthened by Him through their trials so that they come out loving Him even more.
Should I say it? This is the very reason these persecuted Christians are so hated by the rest of the world. Neither death nor life can separate them from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, their Lord.
Therefore they are neglected by the popular media, disparaged by college professors, criticized by Western "Christians", persecuted and murdered by renegade gangs funded by the oil barons the "Christian West" supports.
When you read this next series of articles, you'll see what I mean.
My only question is: Do people think God does not see what's going on here in this world? His eyelids try the hearts of men. Every man will be judged for those things he did in his life. And, quite practically, "you don't get away with nothin'".
Just look around. It may be a long time a-comin', but even President Reagan, who closed down all the mental hospitals in California, throwing the mentally-ill out on the streets, completely lost his mind, living a tormented last 20 years of his life.
Please read these next excerpts from people from all walks of life, some Christian, some not. Come to your own conclusions.
Then read the testimony of "Jon", an ethnic Malay from Malaysia (in the nest forum "More Than Conquerors")
May it wound your heart and convict it.
May you become a Christian or a better one.
Bless your reading.
Shari, Admin

THE S's
The S's…. A Short-sighted, Selfish Society (let's add Stupid and Suicidal)
Education, higher and higher, more and more, better and better, is the hope for our future. But when you hear of students rioting because they can't even pay for basic community college tuition, you have to ask, how can things get any worse, before they get better.

Debt is a curse, it's a noose around our necks, it takes away our freedom, and makes us its slave (take a quick look now at Europe, or our devastated housing market). And the bigger the debt, the tighter the noose, the heavier and inescapable the burden, the bigger the profit on Wall Street. Wall Street is the promoter and seller of debt, the servicer of debt, and the huge profiteer of our debt. Forget about savings and real investment. Credit is easy, that second mortgage for vacation, the credit cards, and now, even higher education for our children. Wall Street succeeded again, and here's the shocker. They've created more school-debt than credit card debt. Children are more slaves to debt than their parents.

I'm not going to take the time here to comment on the moral correctness, the right and wrong of it. Maybe parents can return to old fashioned values like saving, maybe that will help. But the core rottenness is easy money, easy debt, and escalating, unrealistic values. And guess who's behind it?

Why are college costs escalating? Why are they approaching the stratosphere? Students can't afford it. The economics make no sense. It takes decades to pay back the loan. The education doesn't pay for the job it qualifies you for. But there's easy money, easy guaranteed loans, easy qualifying debt. The future, our future generations, our hope; let them worry about it, let us now just borrow the money.

Education is sold, it's a modern necessity (just like health care), that we can't afford. And here comes the financial services industry (Wall Street and its big banks) to help. Rake in the profits on astronomical health insurance, rake in the profits on secured student loans. And watch the costs inflate and escalate until the crash.

Why don't students ask why? Are teachers at fault? Are they demanding higher and higher salaries, unrealistic pensions and benefits? Of course not, they're getting less and less. Are the costs of the school books, the bindery costs , the ink costs, leaping beyond control? Of course not, much information and knowledge is now computerized. Have classroom sizes become so small, is college now like a rich country club? Is that what makes it so expensive ? No, it's actually the reverse.

But we have the S's…. A Short-sighted, Selfish (and I must add Stupid and Suicidal Society. Our kids are willing to become debtors, our colleges rake in the bucks, and Wall Street makes all the profits.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS...
MORE THAN CONQUERORS...

Malaysia is often upheld as the ideal model of a moderate Islamic society, abounding in cultural and religious tolerance. But the façade of tolerance disappears when ethnic Malays decide to convert from Islam to another religion. Local, state and federal authorities regularly harass, arrest, kidnap and imprison ethnic Malay Christians in an attempt to stop the growth of Christianity among Malays. Five years ago there were fewer than 200 Malay Christians among the population of 28 million, and today there are thought to be at least 1,000. Ethnic Malay evangelists are fighting back with the Word of God, spreading the gospel throughout Malaysia despite increasingly violent persecution
