Keep the Faith of the Christian Church

The World is divided into two categories of people. First: Believers who are indwelt by God for the reason that Jesus has been received and covers their sins.

“Christians are believers because they are indwelt by God because of Christ 1 Peter 1:23-25 — Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” KJV

They are the people who realize their spiritual vulnerability and release their dependence upon Jesus. They show sorrow over sin, and are meek (balanced between extremes), hungry for God’s righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, ridiculed, persecuted, or slandered because of Christ. Jesus compares them to salt and light.

The other group consists of the unbelievers of this world. Many sects and cults have their members say a prayer that their soul touch all souls. This is one of the ways evil soul ties are formed. Christian must avoid fellowship with false religious sects and cults.

Some of these cults are: The Third Wave; The Word of Faith; The family of God; The Children of God, The Manifest Sons of God, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, Rosicrucian’s, Theosophy, Unity, Mormonism, Unitarians, Bahai, Spiritualism, Scientology, Sweden organism, Christodelphiamism, Inner Peace Movement, Spiritualism, Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, Association for Research and Development, Religious Research Foundations of America, Eckankar, Urantia, Moonies, Subud, Latihan, Islam, The Way, and other religions using the Bible but denying or omitting the Divinity of Christ, and/or the Atonement of His precious Blood, any group denying existence of heaven or hell.

Jesus is the true Christ

The Bible says that Christ existed from all eternity with God. (Tit. chapters, 1:3, 2:10, and 3:4,)

  • God is identified as the Savior (Tit. 1:4, 2:13, and 3:6)
  • Jesus Christ is identified as God. (Isaiah 43:11)
  • The Lord says there is no Savior besides Him, (Acts 4:8-12)

Jesus Christ is portrayed by the Hierarchy as being one of the ascended masters, or “Christ’s,” but they present Buddha with this title as well, and place him in a superior position. (The Hierarchy considers “Christ-hood” a position that can be attained; reference to “Christ” therefore is not always to the person of Jesus); Christ came to show us the love of God, but Buddha came to bring us enlightenment; suggesting that the Bible has been misinterpreted and its true meaning lost through the centuries; but they claim this has never happened to the “sacred” scriptures of the East.

Jesus-the-Christ

John the Baptist said, “ He who comes after me is greater than I, for He was before me.” Notice, “He existed before me,” “He is the one way!” (Jer. 32:39; Acts 4:12). “He is the way of life,” (Col. 3:4). “He is the way of peace,” (Eph. 2:14). “It pleased God to reveal His Son to me,” was Paul’s account of his conversion. Moreover, Jesus said Himself that: “I am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me,” (Jn. 14:6).

The Bible, the Word of God, is full of testimonies for our example how God in Christ Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever is our deliverer from all kinds of enemies be it physical, spiritual or financial! Yes, when God’s trusting ones cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, He sends them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He delivers them (Isaiah 19:20).

After salvation and deliverance, disobedience for Christians should be a thing of the past.

  • “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he mediate day and night,” ( Ps. 1:2.)
  • “In Samuel have the Lord is great as light in brunt offerings and sacrifice, as in the obeying the voice of he Lord. Behold to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of the rams.” (1 Sam. 15:22)
  • Listen for the sound of his voice and dwell in His Word. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Rom. 10:17)
  • Study His Word. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Rev. 12:11)

Entering the kingdom of God is by obedience to the will of God. Moreover,the new birth is evidenced by obedience and not lip service.“Not everyone who say’s to me, Lord Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.” “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” (Jam. 1:22).

Personal Prayer: In obedience to His Word and His will, I will make it. Lord I am weak, but I know through my weakness, You are made perfectly strong. Even though the Devil has taken dominion over certain areas of my life ,I willingly resist Satan’s strongholds over my mind, will, body and spirit. In Jesus name, I bind all the evil roots to my flesh. I release my will to You, Jesus. I let my flesh die and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I shall live for You and with You forever and forever.
