The Call to Salvation in Jesus Christ

True evangelism is still alive in the hearts of the Lord’s true believers. We should always ask the Lord to set us ablaze in the Holy Spirit so that we will have a Word in season and out of season for the lost.

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9:37-38

Ability to See the Hand of God

Michael Harper gives the alert that, “Behind the facade of religious life there is a spiritual battle raging. There seem to be many who are not fully aware of this war far. From time to time there is a dramatic collision between the power of the Spirit and that of Satan. Success for the Christian will depend in a large measure on recognizing the work of the devil and knowing how to defeat and expel him from every situation . . . “So it is today there is fierce conflict and there are those who do not wish to pass this way. But we cannot avoid the battle for if we do not fight the enemy, he will still come at us. . . .”

Harper goes on to say, “These wicked beings can suggest evil, but cannot coerce the will of another creature. They may spread snares and devices to ruin the child of God, but cannot compel any other being to comply with their designs, nor can they employ God’s creation other than as He decrees. They have never been able to defeat God, and actually God uses them as instruments to correct the erring saints.”

The key to practical faith is the ability to see the hand of God in the attitudes, actions and direction of those whom God places over our lives. Failure to discern God in rightly ordained authority will greatly decrease our awareness of Him and will greatly increase our conflicts and tensions with others.

God initiated the first step toward reconciliation. God told Nathan that David was forgiven give him a message of reconciliation: When you tell David what I’ve told you, he’ll think he’s going to die on the spot. But you’ve got to tell him he’s forgiven – that he’s not going to die! “Tell him also that I will walk with him through everything that comes upon him because of sin.”

Nathan told David “Look at all that God has done for you, all the blessings.” Sin gives Satan the right to enforce curses upon you. He’s given you The Lord was ready to give you all your heart’s desires. You’ve killed an innocent man, and taken his wife as your own. You have despised the Lord, David. And the enemies of God are rejoicing over what you did. The sword is not going to leave your home. Your wives will be taken from you. God will do all this before Israel. You will be judged publicly. David’s baby died.

There are consequences to your hidden sins; (Psa. 51) shows you David was afraid of his soul condition.

Christians Must Return to Bible Basics

The Christian must return to biblical basics and biblical doctrines have always been important features of training the Saints to be strong and able to stand firm in God’s cause. Jesus Christ, as presented by The Father and also Jesus’ testimony is according to the Word, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All power is given to me in heaven and in earth . . .” (Matt. 28:18). He is revealed as Deity with absolute sovereignty and authority over the universe for eternity.

When Jesus asked them about popular opinions of his identity, they recounted the rumors that he was John the Baptist or one of the ancient prophets. Jesus then turned the focus on them: “But who do you say that I am?” Jesus insisted. When Peter spoke for them all and revealed that Jesus was the Messiah and “Son of the living God,” Jesus blessed him for making that confession. “You are Peter {Petros}” Jesus said in a play on words, “and on this rock, {Petra} I will build my church,” (Matt. 16:18).

The apostle Paul reports, that Jesus rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son. He writes in the beautiful poetic language of Jesus in (Col. 1:13), describing Christ’s sovereignty. A passage celebrates Christ as creator and preserver of the universe, supreme over every creature. He is the head of his body, the church, and the first to conquer death. Although in Christ “all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,” Paul asserts, it was ultimately only through his human suffering ~ through “the blood of His cross,” (Col. 1:19, 20), “That he was able to reconcile all things to God and make peace.”

Satan’s strategy in these last days is to get you to doubt the reality of Jesus and His power. However, for the most part, entire denominations today operate without the Holy Spirit. They are devoid of the presence of Jesus, bankrupt of all spiritual gifts. They practice a form of religion without any power, conviction or saving message. They have cultivated friendship with sin and ridiculing the supernatural by tossing aside all teachings about heaven, hell, repentance and God’s judgment. They are spiritually weak, and cold. The world no longer fears them. They have no respect, and no influence and on society.

Satan’s Chief Weapon to Snare the Believer

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light,” (Romans 13:11-12).

Is there a planned conspiracy attacking the Christian Church to change its agenda for spreading the gospel message of Jesus Christ? The Bible tells us yes, Satan wants to conquer every Christian turning their loyalty to his New Age schemes to transform their souls to the powers of the world and new concepts of faith.

The enemy has successfully placed fifth column agents in every level of the church. A fifth column is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group from within to aid an external enemy. These secret agents successfully won great victories when they stole the Word of God as the central thoughts of the foundation of the Christian Church. They simply replace The Word with counterfeit Bibles and removed the central themes concerning Jesus by changing words or leaving entire scriptures’ out.

The last twenty-five years, floods of various perversions of the Bible were brought into churches. Satan’s agents have achieved changing Christian views by bringing these new “modern” versions into seats of power. You are what you think. Many have overthrown Jesus as the center thought and lifted up the human spirit to control the churches.

Mind control is the chief weapon of Satan to snare the believer. The Scriptures admonish us to “bring every thought into captivity,” (II Cor. 10:5). The Scriptures say that the spirit of a sound mind means a disciplined mind. It is absolutely essential for a person to become aware of the thoughts that are coming from the devil or if the thoughts that are coming from the he Lord. If the foundation of God’s Word is removed, how will you know?
