Do YOU Truly Believe IN The Cross OF Jesus Christ

Do YOU Truly Believe IN The Cross OF Jesus Christ? Do YOU Truly Believe there is but One GOD, GOD Almighty? Do YOU Truly Believe Jesus Christ IS The One and ONLY Son OF GOD Almighty? Do YOU Truly Believe that The Holy Bible IS The Absolute TRUTH (GOD Almighty Breathed and GOD Almighty Inspired), and The ONLY TEXT OF GOD Almighty’s WORD, IN Written Form? Do YOU Truly Believe that Jesus Christ LIVED a sin-free Life and DIED (was Crucified) Upon The Cross for All Your sins, for YOU? Do YOU Truly Believe that GOD Almighty RAISED Jesus Christ, ALIVE, from The Tomb? Do YOU Truly Believe that Jesus Christ ASCENDED, ALIVE, into Heaven and Sat Down AT The Right Hand of GOD Almighty, Where He Stills Resides Today?

Do YOU Truly Believe that Jesus Christ ABIDES within YOU, THROUGH The Holy Spirit? Do YOU Truly Believe that GOD Almighty WATCHES Over YOU? Do YOU Truly Believe that THROUGH Your Faith IN All These Things, YOU Have Been SAVED and Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children OF GOD Almighty?

IF Your Answer to All of These Questions is YES, I Congratulate YOU and Welcome YOU, because YOU have been ADOPTED INTO The Family OF GOD Almighty, YOU ARE A Child OF GOD Almighty, A Brother or Sister IN Christ Jesus, and Co-Heirs OF The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty!

YOU Truly Believe IN The Cross OF Jesus Christ, Now the question is what are YOU going to do about it?

It’s Time for YOU TO Step Up, TO Get Out of Your Comfort Zone, YES, TO Start Doing What YOU Were Created For, TO Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, with EVERYONE Who has Ears to HEAR and Eyes to SEE The Truth, TO BE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT Upon This World (Satan’s World)!

Let Them (Yet-To-Be-Believers) KNOW, GOD Almighty YEARNS to have A Personal Relationship WITH Them, and that Our LORD Jesus Christ YEARNS to have A Personal Relationship WITH Them, THROUGH The Holy Spirit. Tell Them, They can KNOW FOR CERTAIN that They Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children OF GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever! This IS What GOD Almighty and Jesus Christ Truly Desire, for each of Them TO HAVE and TO KNOW!

Don’t forget to Share These Scriptures with Them:

Revelation 3:10

Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL, which shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) who dwell on The Earth.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The Voice of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First. THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR. And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There and Show YOU Care!

LITTLE LATE ON YOUR MEDICINE...PHARMACY WAS CLOSED SO OPEN WIDE AND LAUGH!

WRONG ADDRESS....

A couple decided to go to Cyprus for the weekend, but because they both worked it was Hard to coordinate their diaries. So they decided the husband would go a day early, and his wife would join him the following day. On arriving, the husband thought he would email his wife from his laptop, but he accidentally mistyped her email address and sent it off without realising.      

A widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who had been 'called home to glory' following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends, but instead found this:      

To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've Arrived!
     
I've just arrived and have checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was. (P.S. Sure is hot down here!)

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

THE END IS NEAR....

Farmers Fred and Luke were fishing on the side of the road. They made a sign saying "The End is Near! Turn yourself around now before it's too late!," and showed it to each passing car. 
      
One driver that passed didn't appreciate the sign and shouted, "Leave us alone you religious nuts!"
      
All of a sudden they heard a big splash.
      
Fred grinned at Luke. "Do you think we should just put up a sign that says: 'Bridge Out' instead?"

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

A fire started in the grasslands close to a farm. The county fire department rushed to the scene, but the fire was more than they could handle. Someone suggested calling the volunteer fire department. Despite some doubt that they would be of any assistance, they were called.
      
The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped! The firefighters jumped from the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the centre of the fire and leaving two parts which were easily put out.
      
As the farmer watched all this, he was impressed and grateful that his house and farm had been spared. He quickly got his chequebook and donated $1000 to the volunteer fire department.
      
A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain how they planned to use the funds.
      
The captain replied, "The first thing we're gonna do is get the brakes on our fire truck fixed!"

BABIES ARE MIRACLES BUT THIS....WOW!!!!

This is an absolute must-see video.....awesome, amazing God we serve!  How people can just kill them is heartbreaking.  God bless these people and I pray for God to bless this amazing, miraculous family always!

GOD BLESS ALL FAMILIES!

JESUS LOVES YOU, THIS I KNOW

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES NEED TO UNITE

Pastor Craig Groeschel, senior pastor of Life.Church, speaks about addiction during his sermon series on "Bad Advice."

DULUTH, Georgia — If your ministry has never been called a cult, "you probably are not doing squat" in the Kingdom, said Pastor Craig Groeschel on Thursday, decrying how Christians too often take shots at each other.

Speaking before thousands at the Catalyst Atlanta conference at the Infinite Energy Arena, the pastor of Life Church in Oklahoma, which now has 25 campuses, recounted a time when a guy eager to evangelize knocked on his front door, began sharing his faith, and invited him to come to his church.

Amused by his enthusiasm, Groeschel let him go on for several minutes before telling him that he was not only a follower of Jesus but a part of Life Church. The evangelist recoiled and then looked around nervously, not knowing Groeschel was the pastor, leaned in and said: "My pastor says your pastor doesn't preach the truth."

"I wonder how much it grieves the heart of God, how often we as Jesus followers takes shots at one another," Groeschel said.

"We have a common Enemy," he continued, "but the enemy is not the church down the street, not another denomination, or a style of worship." Satan, our real foe, he added, focuses so much on destroying unity because "if we work together, if we stand united, the work of Christ through His Church it is unstoppable," Groeschel said.

Noting that Jesus prayed in John 17 for His Church to be one, and that the theme of the Catalyst conference is "Uncommon Fellowship," Groeschel outlined four things churches must do to achieve what he called "uncommon unity," drawing several stories from his own life to illustrate their importance.

1. We desperately need each other

"No matter how awesome your ministry is. You cannot do it alone," Groeschel began, adding that "unity is not uniformity." Strength exists in diversity; we are better when we are different, he said.

Having been raised in the United Methodist Church, Groeschel recounted that he never really engaged and understood the Gospel growing up and in college he admittedly enjoyed the "fun" of "a lot of sin." But upon hearing about unconventional church one evening on the radio he felt prompted to check it out. At a Saturday night gathering that was what he called a "Spirit-filled, caffeinated, shoot 'em with the Holy Ghost" service where everyone was speaking in tongues and had their hands raised in the air, he found himself at an altar responding to a call to repentance that night.

"The theology was a little different than what I believe today, the style was different than what I could ever handle, and yet God used it to light a fire inside my soul and transformed my heart ... and what it did was empowered to me to go back where I came from and bring some fire into the denomination I was raised in and to preach Christ with passion," Groeschel said.

2. We err on the side of being 'for,' not 'against'

Way too often, churches criticize the flaws in other parts of the Body, Groeschel noted, and no congregation is immune from this temptation.

"We don't always know that we're doing this," he added.

In the course of planting multiple locations of his church, he and his team set up billboard advertising their new church plant in a town in another state that read: "Think Church is boring and outdated? So did we, discover the difference."

Though we were trying to be innovative and fresh, in a veiled way, we were saying "We're not like [those old boring churches], we're against them," Groeschel said.

Life Church has successfully planted several sites in Oklahoma and in other states, but that one failed. Might it be, Groeschel suggested, that because our hearts were not in the right spot towards God's family, He did not bless it?

3. We give everything we can to strengthen others

At Groeschel's church, they have made it their core value to lead with radical generosity, he said. Whatever you have that God can use, is to be made available for the whole family of God and even those outside of the faith.

Once during his college days, before he had become a Christian, Groeschel found himself in a predicament where he halfheartedly asked God for a Bible. That same day, the Gideon's gave him one. As he read Ephesians 2 later, he knelt down on a nearby softball field and when he got up he was a new person. He had been born again.

"So, what happened? Someone else paid for a Bible, gave it to me and the Body of Christ worked together to reach me," he recalled.

Years later he had an opportunity to make some big money on a Bible App he had a hand in developing but he refused to cash in because, he said, "the Bible I got was free, and the Bible we have will always be free. The Bible is not for sale."

As of this year, Groeschel noted, they will have given away over one quarter of a billion Bible apps to people all over the world.

4. We love like Jesus loved

Uncompromising love of Jesus is the greatest weapon the Church has, Groeschel said, and that has to apply even to one's worst enemies.

One of the darkest moments in Groeschel's life was when he found out that a man — he referred to him with a pseudonym — had molested his little sister when she was in the sixth grade.

"When I found out [what he did] I wanted to kill him," Groeschel recounted.

But the troubling verse in Matthew 6:15 where Jesus says "If you do not forgive others my Heavenly Father will not forgive you," convicted him so he decided to write a letter on behalf of his entire family to the man who had violated his sister.

In the letter he wrote that "All of us have recently found grace through Jesus Christ ... we choose because Jesus forgave us, we forgive you. We choose to love you as you've been loved and we pray that you can find the same grace that has changed us."

The bottom line, Groeschel reiterated, is that if we are ever to have unity in the Church, we have no business whatsoever shooting at each other.

"I believe that people are sick and tired of hearing about the love of Jesus, they want to see the love of Jesus," he concluded.
