TESTED BY FIRE BY ABALONEKID

IT IS A SIN TO EXCLUDE ANYONE FROM OUR SHARING OF THE GOSPEL IF WE CAN SHARE IT. SOME MINISTERS HAVE SAID THAT WE SHOULD NOT SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THE JEWS! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! READING THE BIBLE CAREFULLY TELLS US THE CONTRARY AS JESUS POINTED OUT WHEN HE SENT HIS DISCIPLES OUT TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM WITH THE JEWS FIRST!

You will find a translation of the Gospel message In Hebrew as well at

As you know, I have been encouraging the brethren to share the Gospel with lost friends, family and those lost, world over. I have shared the Gospel in 19 languages sufficient to set forth vital Bible based facts that only Jesus saves, that we are born sinners needing redemption by belief in Jesus Christ and who He is , what He did for us and all humanity, and in particular, died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures. (1 Cor.15:1-5) That He is Lord and Savior who shed His sinless blood as a payment (propitiation) for all sinners sins; that they who believe on Him will, by the unmerited grace of God, be saved though faith God gives freely, through Christ's finished atoning work.


THE GOSPEL SHARED: A WAKE UP CALL


That was the command of our Lord before He went to the cross.

So that is a given! BUT! there are prophetic circumstances that can arise in different generations that God, who knows all, can place as a burden in our heart in some supernatural manner that causes movement of our Lord by the Holy Spirit in us;

A WAKE UP CALL TO A REALITY FORTHCOMING AND NOT UNDERSTOOD YET.

whose reality is in the future, waiting to occur, the timing according to God's sovereign will known only to God.

TESTING OF HIS FAITH IN US

Most comforting of all, we know that God will never allow us to be tested beyond what we are able to handle. His grace is sufficient for us, and His power is made perfect in our weakness. ( less of us and more of Christ by the Holy Spirit rests on setting ourselves aside and relying on Christ in us, the certain hope of our Glory one day with Jesus)

That is why,” Paul said: "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Cor.12:9

In both the Old and New Testaments, the words translated “test” mean “to prove by trial.” Therefore, when God tests His children, His purpose is to strengthen our faith; experiencing it's reality. Not that God needs to prove it to Himself since He knows all things, but He is proving to us that our faith is real; that we are truly His children, and that no trial will overcome the faith given us by God in the first place that salvation be ours, His free gift to us.

Eph.2:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.

HIS FAITH IN US GROWING BY OVERCOMING TRIALS

Isaiah 48:
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

James 1:
3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Rom.8:
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

THE REALITY OF OUR FAITH

We who are His called out ones are here to do His will. We brethren who live IN THE SPIRIT work His works in various ministries He has assigned. Submission to His will is in our free will and we do submit if we are His disciples.

Satan Is Tireless At Evil Doings In All Levels Of Nation States

John 14:
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

1 John 5:
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

2 Cor. 4:
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

WE ARE NOT CLUELESS! GOD REVEALS HIS WILL

In these times of ever increasing evils, more often masked in worldly ways and hidden by worldly appointments, there is a grave danger that is in the shadows behind world powers led by lost leaders which only God can reveal to His elect who are called to receive it.

Amos 9:2
"Though they dig into Sheol, From there will My hand take them; And though they ascend to heaven, From there will I bring them down.

Upon receipt of the Holy Spirit, we, the called out ones, submit to God who provides us with revelations we can understand which is His wake up call that evolves over time and has a reality God determines in revelations discerned by the faithful .

AN EXTRAORDINARY WAKE UP CALL

I believe that we, in this nation, will see an event so great it will alter life here in one moment of time. It cannot be avoided. It will defy any defense available. It will change the lives of us all in a split second of time. And it will be by a means never imagined

There is no defense! No strategic means of stopping it. And it will send a shock wave throughout the world and in particular, our nation, no one is insulated from.

What must we be doing now to serve His glory is not changed by it. But what we do DO for us, daily, is choose. Are we one of His elect who will follow our Lord as He has commanded? Are we certain He keeps His word? WE MUST DIG IN! We must be confident of His calling as well as believe His word in order to rise up now, in the fullness of God the Holy Spirit, that we be IN HIM daily and serve His Glory IN HIS LOVE; loving Jesus more then our own life's breath!

Jesus Wised Us Up Through Paul

Philippians 1:21, For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Phil.3:8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

The apostle Paul is saying that everything he has tried to be, (He asserted Christ in Him, not "I WILL") everything he was, and everything he looked forward to being pointed to Christ. From the time of Paul’s conversion until his martyrdom, every move he made was aimed at advancing the knowledge of the gospel, to the church of Christ. Paul’s singular aim was to bring glory to Jesus through Jesus by the Holy Spirit in him.

“To live is Christ” means that we proclaim the gospel of Christ. Paul preached in synagogues; he preached at riversides; he preached as a prisoner in jail and under house arrest; he preached as an apostle; he preached as a tent maker. His message was constant: “Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). He brought the message of Christ’s sacrifice to kings, soldiers, statesmen, priests, and philosophers, Jews and Gentiles, jailers and men and women. He would preach to literally anyone who would listen.

“To live is Christ” means that we imitate the example of Christ. Everything that Jesus did and said, that’s what Paul wanted to do and say. The church benefited from his godly example: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1).

What would Jesus do? That’s what we want to do. And NOTHING will hinder God in working His works through us.

Rom. 8:
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
