The beginning:
God made Adam out of the dust of the earth and in His own image and likeness. Then, God said, Adam needs a helper,so he made Eve out of the rib of Adam. Now they were in the garden to dress and keep it, with one stipulation, do not eat from the tree of good and evil. So what happened? Eve was tempted to eat the forbidden fruit and gsve to Adam to eat. So God drove them out of Eden,thus creating another kingdom,the worldly kingdom,which is headed by the devil. Because of Adam and Eve creating sin, we are all born sinners in need of redemption.
Ever since I can remember my greatest was of going to hell. I was brought up to believe that if you died with unconfessed mortal sin you would go to hell. Of course I believed that confession would cleanse me of sin, but what if I died suddenly with unconfessed sin?Little did I that God said in John9:31,"Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any be a worshipper of God, and does his will,him he hears.
Little did I know that Jesus had already died on the cross so that I would not have to go to hell. Nobody ever told me that Jesus had already paid the price for my salvation and heaven was mind for the asking. I always thought that if I fulfilled my churchly duties,was good,did not sin and did good works,I was in good shape.
Some people say, "I do not have to worry, because God is love. God loves everybody, and such a God would never send anybody to hell" Well those people are 100 per cent correct. .
The baptism in the HOLY spirit
I heard a pastor preach recently about the fullness of God. He said once you are born again, you have all of God that you will ever get.
I wonder if Jesus had all of God that He could get,after all He was God!s Son. Or, did He need more of God for His ministry to begin? How about us do we need more of God once we are born again? I believe more of God comes through receiving the Holy Spirit. But wait a minute, some religious factions believe you receive the Holy Spirit when you are born again. Others believe that is not true,that you receive Him as a second experience. There is probably more confusion, different opinions and misunderstanding about when you receive the Holy Spirit Than anything else in the bible. I ask God for an explanation. Read on for a detail biblical explanation as to, when,how and why?
It is my opinion, that there are three classes of people who will have a hard time to get to heaven. The very rich, the very religious and the very intelligence. This will be quite a big surprise.
When Adam and Eve sold out to the devil, a whole new world order was created. 2 Corinthians 4:4: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God should shine unto them. That was no doubt the greatest sin ever committed.
New testament church
One day I got saved,which means, I received Jesus as my personal savior, which also means I will go to heaven when I die, which is also what I was looking for all my life. This got me to thinking, why should I keep attending my church which I considered an obligation,when I could go to a bible teaching church hearing about Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
This Holy Ghost,comforter, that Jesus said He would send came at Pentecost, thus was the beginning of the new testament church. Read my book to find out what goes on at a new testament church.
Miracles
Many believe that miracles no longer happen, well they do. I know ,personally, two people that died and can back to life,is that a miracle? I experience what everybody thinks is a miracle. I was stung by 339 hornets and I am here to tell you about it.
Divine healing
1 Peter2:24; Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,that we, being dead to sins,should live unto righteousness: by who stripes we were healed. Notice, you have been healed. Isaiah 53:5,says the same thing. A person has to come to place in his walk with God, that he knows, that he knows, that God not only heals, but He will heal him. If there is a God that created everything, seen and unseen, certainly healing our bodies, that He made, is a very small act. I got healed three times when it seems hopeless.
Prayer
Most of us view prayer as something we have to do, force into it, we could almost say ,a burden. That is because we do not understand the reason why prayer is very important for us and to Him. Prayer actually communicating with God, having a conversation with Him. Here is how I pray sometimes. I will merely thank him for my home, my family,my vehicles and many other things I am so thankful for. Here is how Paul says we should pray. What is it then? I will pray with the Spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also.
Love
God so loved the world,that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perished but have eternal life.
