GOD DID IT BEFORE SCIENCE!!!

MANY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENTS THAT WE KNOW NOW WERE FIRST PERFORMED BY GOD AND THEY WERE RECORDED IN THE BIBLE CENTURIES AGO. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES FOR YOUR PERUSAL.

1. Going to space

 Elijah, Enoch and Jesus were taking up.

i. Jesus
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9 KJV)

ii. Elijah
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11 KJV)


iii. Enoch
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 KJV)

Three times do we see God taking people away. Three is a "witness and a confirmation." Enoch being seventh from Adam, was raptured and this age being the seventh church age from the second Adam, Jesus, will go in the rapture. It is a surety that the rapture will take place.


2. Door that open by itself /automatic door opener
Doors opened for Peter and the Angel

When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. (Acts 12:10 KJV)



3. Surgical operation. Anaesthetic  

God caused a deep sleep on Adam and He took his rid and made Eve.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (Genesis 2:21, 22 KJV)



4. Removing cataract

Ananias prayed for Paul and scales fell from his eye.

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. (Acts 9:17, 18 KJV)



5. Metal detector

The prophet Elisha caused the metal to come up from a pond.

But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. (2 Kings 6:5-7 KJV)


5. Heart transplant

God gives people new heart.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26 KJV)

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. (Jeremiah 24:7 KJV)

God bless you.

FALSE PROPHETS

Every Christian knows that the Bible teaches that there shall be false prophets and false christs in the end-time. However, many fail to identify these false prophets and teachers and as a result, many are being deceived.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (Matthew 24:23-26)

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (2 Peter 2:1-2)

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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1Timothy 4:1)

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY A FALSE PROPHET?

A true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the people to Jesus Christ. A true prophet will not tell the people to fear him or what he says but to fear what the Word says.

The true prophet always says something and they happen exactly as they prophesied.

Antichrist means "antiWord," so these false prophets come perverting the Word of God giving it a meaning that fits their own devilish end.

Just like Judas Iscariot, they are out for money. They get you to sell everything you have and give it to them and their schemes. Some charge for consultation fees. They even tell you how much money to pay.

They spend more time on offerings than the Word. False preachers more often preach about money and how people can have material wealth.

Those who operate the gifts make use of a gift with margin of errors.

Some use psychology and guesses and they call it of God. For example, some may say," I can see someone..." or "the Lord has told me that someone..." Our God is not a God of guesses. He knows every detail of anyone or anything in the universe.

Like the seven sons of Sceva who tried to imitate Paul, the first messenger to the Gentiles, these false prophet do imitate the last messenger to the Gentiles.

If the preacher does not say exactly what Paul said, he is false! 

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:8)

The false prophet will tell you if you do not believe them, you will be lost but the true prophet will cry out for people to get back to the word or they will be lost.

These same false prophets will claim that the messenger of the last-day is not a theologian, so he ought not to be heard.

In the days of Micaiah the prophet, there were 400 prophets who were all in agreement saying the same thing and fooling the people but there was only one true prophet-Micaiah.

MOSES, DATHAN AND KORAH

This is what the Lord has given me today for you.

Notice that whenever God sends a true word to His people, there is always the false one behind the scene to lead some people astray. When God was leading the people to the promise land through Moses, there was also Dathan and KORAH who were giving false messages to the people. Those who listened to those men instead of Moses were destroyed with them.

Remember that spirits don't die. They move from one person to another when the person dies. The spirit of Elijah came upon Elisha and again upon John the Baptist. So the spirits that used these men are still present in our day.

There is always one truth and all the others false.

Choose you this day whom you shall listen to. Are you choosing to listen to the voice of man or God's infallible Word which does not change?

False Christs shall come. That means they have the anointing to do miracles but they will tell a lie that will be very close to the truth such that if it were possible it will deceive the elect of God.

One day, all the 400 prophets have told a lie to the King Ahab and Jehoshaphat but there was one (Micaiah) who did not compromise but said, "As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak." (2 Chronicles 18, 1 Kings 22)

Today, the majority of preachers are lying to the people. But I will agree with Micaiah by saying, "As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak." 

The only way to distinguish truth from the false is to compare what they say to the Word of God, the Bible.

If anyone teaches women can preach, it is false. 

Anyone who says it's ok to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, is false.

Anyone who preaches you have the Holy Ghost once you start to speak in tongues, it is false.

Anyone who preaches you will go to heaven once you attend church is false.

Anyone who preaches that there is no hell is false.

"In times of ignorance God winks at." If you did not know the truth, God will not hold you accountable but once you are told the truth, God will hold you responsible if you do not follow it.

The only thing that changes the mind of God from destroying the people is REPENTANCE. Consider/read the case of Jonah at Nineve and Isaiah who was sent to Hezekiah.

He that have ears, let him listen what the Spirit is saying.

Are You Born Again?

Are You Born Again?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

Recieving the Holy Spirit is the same as being Born Again.

If the spirit in you cannot agree with ANY word of God, you are not born again. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word the proceeds out of the mouth of God.

The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth and only God's word is the truth all others are false.

If you deny any Word of God, you are not right with God. And that means the spirit of God is not in you.

Paul after receiving  the Holy Spirit was able to teach and preach the Gospel according to how the disciples were taught by Jesus. The Holy Spirit is Jesus. He said I will be with you even in you until the end of the age. So Jesus in you cannot deny His own Word. And as John 1 says, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh.

It does not matter whether you do speak in tongues, heal the sick etc. if you cannot accept every word of God as true, you are still lost!

No man can call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Ghost. 

Without the Holy Ghost, you will always argue about the Word and use your own imagination to interpret It.

Without the Holy Ghost, you will always defend your church's doctrine even if it's contrary to what the Bible says, instead of defending the Word of God.

Without being born again, you cannot forgive your enemies as Jesus commands us to do. You will always pay evil with evil.

Without the Holy Spirit, you will not find it interesting listening or reading the Word of God.
Without the Holy Ghost, you will love the things of the World more than the things of God. That is why some Christians choose watching TV programmes like football over attending Church service. 

You are still living in sin because you do not have the Holy Spirit. He that sins is a slave to sin but if the Son of God shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.

THE TRUTH ON WATER BAPTISM Part 2

TITLES OR NAME?

In Matthew 28:19 we can read Jesus' great commission unto His disciples saying, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, BAPTIZING them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

In Luke 24:46-47 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in HIS NAME to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

According to the scriptures ALL the eleven apostles including Peter, were present when the Lord Jesus gave this great commission. The Lord Jesus Christ never told us to baptize in the NAMES (plural), but in the N-A-M-E (singular). Both Matthew and Luke wrote NAME. We know HIS NAME is the LORD JESUS CHRIST

Take note that 'Father' is not a NAME. 'Son' is not a NAME either; neither is the Holy Ghost a NAME. These are but TITLES of the ONE true GOD.

To illustrate this point using Abraham Lincoln, the 16th American President, he was born a SON to Thomas Lincoln. He became a HUSBAND when he married Mary Todd. When they had their four sons, he became a FATHER to their children and to the rest of Americans, he was the PRESIDENT. Abraham Lincoln by being a Son, a Husband, a Father and a President, did not make him FOUR persons but still the same ONE person but with different titles.

In the same manner, God ABOVE was FATHER (Psalm 89:25, Isaiah 9:6, Malachi 2:10), the same God WITH US in human flesh was the SON (Isaiah 9:6), and now the same God IN US (John 16:17) is the HOLY GHOST, and therefore the NAME of this one true God is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In the Old Testament, God the FATHER was always called LORD (with capital L); in the New Testament, we find JESUS was the name given to the SON of God and in our age when the HOLY GHOST was given since the day of Pentecost, He is called the CHRIST or the Anointing of God.  

We can therefore conclude from the these basis that the TITLES of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost refers to only one compound Name, which was given on earth whereby man must be saved (Acts 4:12)- and that NAME is nothing else but the NAME the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the complete NAME of GOD!

We can read throughout the Bible that ALL of Jesus' disciples baptized in water in no other name but the Name of Jesus (References: Acts 2:38; Acts 8:14, Acts 10:46-48, Acts 19:1-5). 

NEVER can we find the entire pages of the Bible where anybody was ever baptized using the TITLES of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Look it up and you will never find one.

No wonder the scriptures say in Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The apostles understood that baptism in those TITLES was not a LITERAL command, just as when Jesus told them, 'Except you EAT my FLESH and drink my BLOOD, you have NO Life in you.' Nowhere in the Bible can we find they literally ATE the flesh of Jesus or DRANK his blood. That would make them cannibals and vampires if such command was followed to the letter. But the thing is that it was revealed unto them that eating His Body means 'partaking of His Word' and drinking his Blood meant 'receiving His Atoning sacrifice' into their lives. In Water Baptism, it was revealed also unto them WHO really was the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and what the NAME of God really was. "Lord Jesus Christ," that's the complete Name of God.

The third and final part of the Truth on Water Baptism will follow shortly.

God bless you.
