What the devil doesn't want You to know.

So just what is a christian? Is a Christian someone who goes to church, carries their bibles with them, and at one point made a decision for Christ through baptism or some sort of other profession of faith? I have been asked the question before have you ever really seen a christian? And the answer to that question is no I can never be sure but God sees each and every heart, and He knows who are truly His and who are not. I think at this point I might be safe saying there will be many surprises in Heaven. What makes someone a christian?

I poured over the chapter in Romans chapter 10, highlighted and underlined and had myself a little bible study with the Lord last night because I wanted as Paul said, "to make my calling and election sure" and another place "that I myself might not be disqualified." My salvation is not dependent on how I feel today, how I might feel tomorrow or how I even feel right now. My salvation was a work of God, and one day I will be resurrected and glorified with Him in Heaven forever.

I do not know this because someone told me I was saved, I do not know this because I feel I'm saved, I know this because I have the Holy Spirit residing in me and he has affirmed to my heart, that I have truly repented of my sins and have made the good confession that the bible teaches we must do in order to be regenerated or born again. What the devil doe not want you to know is that you can be 100% sure that you have been twice born on your way to Heaven and there isn't a demon in hell who can take that assurance and salvation from you. If you are a christian, and God has told you you are a christian, you need to take rest in the fact that even though Satan will try his best to convince you you are worth nothing to God, God loves you and has a great future in store for you now, and for eternity.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
