JACHIN AND BOAZ.
Shalom, may the name of our Lord be blessed forever.
The Word of God tells us ..
Lamentations 3:22-23 “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. It is new every morning. ”.
And you who read this message may the mercy of the Lord never cease upon you.
Today we will briefly learn, a few things to consider when we go to the house of the Lord either to talk to Him, or to worship Him, it may be in a church, or in a seminar, or wherever you can worship God.
As we read in the Old Testament we see that the time came for Solomon to build a House (Temple) for God that would be the center of all Israel, and all the nations of the world to worship God, and atone for their sins at that time.
It was built for 7 years, and in that construction, there were too many criteria to consider, as well as dimensions. And everything that was made there was revealing a great spiritual thing to the church of the present day, the golden Cherubs set there were revealing something spiritual, the 7 candlesticks, as well as the golden and bronze altars, all of them had a meaning, even the ark of the covenant and the ornaments that were in there.
Now, near the very end of the construction, Solomon was led to build two more parts, and that was the two main pillars that stood at the entrance of the Temple. The pillars were long and wide.
The first pillar was on the right side of the temple, and the second pillar was on the left side.
The one on the right was called JACHIN. And the one on the left was called BOAZI.
2Chronicles 3:17 “And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz ”
Now the meaning of those words is this:
JACHIN: IT IS THOUGHT HE WILL PROVE IT.
By Boaz: IT IS THOUGHT TO BE STRONG.
There was no way for the priest to enter the temple, to go to the Most Holy Place, to perform the rituals and not to go between the two pillars. They were like pillars of the temple.
Revealing that whoever enters the crossing of those pillars must be in his head, that God will prove (Jachin), And in there is also the power of God (Boaz).
So when a priest enters in, for any activity either for the atonement or for the intercession of the saints, he is convinced that God must answer their prayers, that is, confirm his covenant with Abraham, and also he knows that God’s power is in that temple, so he must be careful what he does otherwise he will be seeking death for himself or even trouble for all the children of Israel.
The pillars stood still as long as the temple was in existence.
But what message are we given to the new covenant?
The Bible likens the church of Christ to the temple of God, when we go out to His house or to His presence, we are all going to be like the priests of God, so the Lord wants each of us to know that the two pillars (ie Jachin and Boaz) stand in front of the temple, his holy.
He wants us to know that when we go to His house we know that God is there, to confirm His covenant with the saints through Jesus Christ. And that when you go to pray, or worship Him or ask for anything, He is there to hear and answer your prayers, according to the words of Christ (in John 14:13) That’s right, so get to know that in your head that God keep his covenants.
He also wants you to know that there is a power in him. So be careful not to go to house carnally. Some people decide to go to church with their clothes half naked, they go to church with their tights, and womens with their trousers, thinking that they are going to meet the gods who can’t do anything. They do not know that when a building is called a church, or a house of God, there is already a pillar called Boaz standing outside in spirit!, that is, inside is the great power of God, which kills and revives.
So when a man/woman enters without respect, he is looking for a curse for himself/herself. That you should know this daughter of God, that you should know this young man,. When you go to church, and you know yesterday you came out of adultery, and at the same time you go to partake of the Lord’s Supper, then You are looking for your own curse .. (Read here to see the curse that befell the people of such type, (Corinthians 11: 27-34)
The house of God is not to be mocked at all.
Mark 11:17 “And he taught, saying unto them, What do ye? Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of thieves”.
So brethren, if you are a Christian, consider these two things, keep them in your head always in His House God confirms, and in His house there is power. (Jachin and Boaz)
The Lord bless you.

Shalom,
Welcome to bible study, the Word of God, which is the light of our path and the lamp that guides our feet (Psalm 104:119).
Today let us remind ourselves of the importance of being hospitable, and of giving ourselves to do God’s work. For a long time I have been in contact with a girl on Facebook, who lives with her parents, who is actually a girl who loves God and is devoted to God even though she is young. She has been sending us a number of questions and answering them.. if you are a follower of the lessons here you will have read the question we answered asking… “He is blocking now even when he is removed! Who is this? ” and another “How can I distinguish between the voice of an Angel and that of the Holy Spirit? ”..
These two questions were asked by this girl. And there are others she asked whose answers we sent to her without publishing them. The girl is Tanzanian but lives in Zambia, near the Tanzanian border. Even though she is a little girl, she has been asking us questions about the last days and also questions about how to go and tell others about Jesus on the street.
In her youth we encouraged her not to stop witnessing to others the gospel with all his might, no matter what her circumstances, and many other things we advised her, she went to do the work we advised her ..and after a while she brought us feedback that she had gone out to witness some and lead them in a prayer of repentance (as usual that is good news for us Christians), besides that, she is also a girl who is going through a lot of challenges, and even when she is at home her family are not such very religious people, even those she witnesses and saved, she is afraid to welcome the people she evangelized home because of the battle at home…. ,but she is ready to go helping people wherever they are with spirit regardless of the environment.
Now a few days ago, she met a stranger like Abraham whom he met on his way out to strike Chedorlaomer (Genesis 14: 8-18).
This is what she said…
“Yesterday morning I woke up and I was washing the dishes and I went to pour the dirty water out and I took the keys and went through to open the big outside gate, when I was there, I heard a voice calling my name in a loud voice, I heard but I knew maybe it’s just my thoughts, it called again, and when I wanted to go inside, I decided to lift up my head at the gate and see if there is someone,..Surprisingly I saw a stranger knocking on the door and I opened it, as I opened it and greeted him with the most polite and respectful manner as usual.
He asked me what do you need?.. I told him no Papa, I need nothing!, while I continued to listen to him closely, he told me to take this money, he gave me food then gave me some money. Now after receiving money and thanks, I told him JESUS loves you sir! and said yes he loves you too! I said thank you!
Now when I put things down to ask him farther questions about salvation, and to ask about his name?, when I got up, I did not see the man again ”.
**End of quotation**.
Now after asking the girl what else did he give you other than the money?… She told me, A man gave him a BIBLE, SPIRITUAL HYMN BOOK, DIARY and PEN then I knew it was an angel visited her…
And fortunately this girl knows the scriptures very well, therefore she knew it was an angelic visitation…
Hebrews 13: 2 “Do not forget hospitality; for in this way some have entertained angels without knowing it ”.
So after the incident she knew she was an angel of the Lord, and a wonderful peace came into her.
Brethren, these things are not myths, they are very real things… Because even I myself have experienced it twice in an almost identical environment like this girl. Millions of angels of God roam the earth ever hour..and don’t expect them to come dressed in white and with wings… No!. Those who visited Lot did not have white robes, those who followed Abraham under the oaks of Mamre did not have white robes, they come as just ordinary people ..
That is why Paul says “some of you welcome angels without knowing it”. This girl was given a few gifts to encourage her to read and study the Word (That is why she was given a bible and a diary) as well as to witness to others, and the Lord has done this to show her that He loves her and is with Him to serve her needs even food so don’t be afraid! and moreover he gave him a lot of money.. that’s why he sent his Angel to comfort her.
And that is just a small manifestation of what is going on in the spirit, in the spirit she is surrounded by that army of so many angels. Wherever she goes, they are with her, protecting and caring for her.
Ask yourself, if she was not a caring and devoted person for the souls of others how could an angel of the Lord be sent to her?
Hebrews 1:14 “What? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? ”
Now how could he be sent to serve her if she were not a kid of girl who do the work of God? ..an angel of God would have been sent to bring her a gift of consolation, if she had been a winning girl just wandering the streets or talking gossip or walking around with boys on the street? ..
You see? and one thing that is not known to many is that Angels have a job to take our good things that we do before God. Whatever good you do angels present It before God.
I believe the testimony of this sister is enough for us! .The little space you get, if it’s at school, at home, at work, on the internet, don’t make too many excuses.. that I can’t because of this or that.. because I’m busy.. I can’t do God’s work, Brethren many still need to be saved. The angels in heaven rejoice when only one man repents!
The Lord bless us and the Lord help us.
If you are not saved! ..Salvation begins here on earth!… therefore repent and accept Jesus Christ, and after that, find the living church, located near where you are, make sure you are baptized there in the proper baptism, in the name of Jesus and by immersion of the whole body (Acts 2:38). And after that the Holy Spirit will lead you to do the rest. The rapture is near and these are the last days … any day! Things will change suddenly, the rapture will pass, the saints will be taken away to heaven, and the wicked will be destroyed.

ARE YOU SAVED?
No one is unaware that as a wise parent nears the end of his days, he often invites his children to give them a short will and to bless them. and a loving Parent is the one who tells his children or grandchildren the truth of life, and who gives them attention and gives them comfort and hope. so also did our Lord Jesus Christ, before his departure. He spent hours talking to them about a number of things. And his will is divided into five parts:
THE FIRST SECTION: Which is the whole of chapter 13, you will see the Lord warning his disciples about humility, you will see him practically teaching them how to be humble, (by showing himself, by taking water and washing their feet) and telling them who would be greater than him. all must be the youngest.and if the one who calls on the Lord has taken hold of their feet, how shall it be with him? .
THE SECOND SECTION: Which is chapter 14 all you will see the Lord comfort his disciples, that they should not be afraid or discouraged when he leaves them … for he is going to prepare a place for them. And he tells them he will not leave them orphans, but will bring them a helper who is the Holy Spirit, and their joy will be restored. and they shall see that they are not left.
THE THIRD SECTION: Which is the whole of chapter 15, You will see the Lord warn and remind them to bear fruit after His departure, and remind them to love one another.
THE FOURTH SECTION: Which is the whole of chapter 16, You will see the Lord warn them of the things that will happen to them after He leaves, and tell them, the tribulation they will go through and the suffering, but do not be afraid because He will be with them.
John 16: 1 “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; Yes, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you ”.
John 16: 1 “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues; Yes, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you ”.
FIFTH AND FINAL SECTION: This is the 17th chapter, which is a feature of Jesus Himself concluding by praying for His disciples. now even when a father gives a will to his children before his death, in the end when he prays for blessings and blessings, he cannot pray for the people on the street, or the people at work for him, he must pray for them and bless those he commanded with their children, because that is his inheritance. that’s what the Lord did here, in this section after telling them the things that would happen to them and their responsibilities, after his departure then he prays for them. And what is he praying for? We get the answer a little further.
John 17: 9 “I pray for you. I do not pray for the world; but these thou hast given to me, for they are thine; 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, IN THE NAME OF YOUR OWN RULE, let them be as one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; and not one of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them; for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world; JUST BE AWAY FROM THE EVIL ONE. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 PLEASE HELP THEM OUTSIDE THE WORLD; YOUR WORD IS TRUE. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 AND NOT ONLY THOSE WHO PRAY FOR YOU; BUT THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE IT BECAUSE OF THEIR WORD. 21 Let them all be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. may they also be in us; that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. 24 FATHER, THEN I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME EVERYWHERE, THAT THEY MAY SEE AND SEE MY GLORY; for you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you; but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it; that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them ”
John 17: 9 “I pray for you. I do not pray for the world; but these thou hast given to me, for they are thine;
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, IN THE NAME OF YOUR OWN RULE, let them be as one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; and not one of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them; for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world; JUST BE AWAY FROM THE EVIL ONE.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 PLEASE HELP THEM OUTSIDE THE WORLD; YOUR WORD IS TRUE.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 AND NOT ONLY THOSE WHO PRAY FOR YOU; BUT THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE IT BECAUSE OF THEIR WORD.
21 Let them all be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. may they also be in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.
24 FATHER, THEN I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME EVERYWHERE, THAT THEY MAY SEE AND SEE MY GLORY; for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you; but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it; that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them ”
This will applies to us too, as we have become disciples of Christ we must love one another, humble ourselves, be united and do His work. if we keep the will then we will be very successful in this world. Similarly, these prayers are not only for the apostles..but they are for us too … because in verse 20 he says “I DO NOT JUST PRAY FOR THEM; BUT FOR THOSE WHO WILL BELIEVE IT BECAUSE OF THEIR WORD. ” It is our right to claim our glory and our blessings, and we do not claim it in words, but by doing His will, when we do His will in the spirit world it is our right to receive blessings and blessings and health. may the Lord bless us to be more united and loving and humble…
And more importantly let us do His work. And finally let us receive His blessings that He blessed us 2,000 years ago.
Maran tha!
HE WAS MADE AN ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SAKE.
THINK ABOUT THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR.
How long did it take for Noah to build an ark?
Why give up on seeking God?
I want to tell you that even if God Himself tells you “I don’t want you”, you still shouldn’t give up… there is a certain seed of destruction that the devil has planted in the hearts of many Christians, which there is a point where they feel unworthy before God, of feeling that God can no longer be with them, of feeling unworthy to go before God again,… .so they end up desperate to move forward when they see that even the answers to their prayers are delayed, I have met many such people. but I want to tell you not to despair, there are those with whom God had no plan, some were not even Christians, and some had offended God so much that God pronounced death on them, but in their wickedness they did not despair of running to God to have mercy on them
Are you not more than you who are saved?why give up?
Psalm 107: 10 “They sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron, 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12 And he smote them with a great slaughter; they stumbled, and there was none to help. 13 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalm 107: 10 “They sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron, 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 And he smote them with a great slaughter; they stumbled, and there was none to help.
13 They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Remember the Bible is a book written to warn us, and in other words to strengthen us, and to comfort us. For example, look at this woman who, even though the grace of salvation had not yet reached her, had her gods in Tire. , did not care strong response from God, but he persevered until he found what he was looking for, no matter if he continued to go and worship his gods.
Matthew 15:22 “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 And he answered him to never a word; And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for he is crying out behind us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 And she came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. let it be to you as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Matthew 15:22 “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 And he answered him to never a word; And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for he is crying out behind us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 And she came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. let it be to you as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Do you see the character of the woman? Another example is King Ahab.
The Bible says that this Ahab was a wicked king, more than any other king who preceded him and was involved in greatly misleading Israel before God (1 Kings 21:25), until the time came when God told him it was enough now. and house yours will be full ..But when the bad news from God came to him, it did not make him despair, and he said now it is now !, God can no longer look at me, instead he went to humble himself.
1Kings 21:27 “And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. 28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? therefore, because he humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house ”.
1Kings 21:27 “And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? therefore, because he humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house ”.
There is another one who came after Ahab, called Manasseh. He was the one who did more evil than Ahab and the one who caused even God not to forgive Israel again reall ..God was greatly displeased with him. It came to the point of being taken captive by chains and shackles, and the Assyrians to Babylon.
But being there knowing that he was the first enemy of God, he humbled himself before God and wept bitterly until he was heard.
2Chronicles 33:12 “When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 And he struck him; and he received him, and heard his prayer; and he restored him to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God “.
2Chronicles 33:12 “When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 And he struck him; and he received him, and heard his prayer; and he restored him to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God “.
Now these are just a few examples of people who were wicked and sinful, who had already been judged by God for their sins. But they did not give up, his humility (now why do you give up?) ..but I did not say this so that you too may sin and pray to God and then he will hear you no, that is wrong. I’m writing this for you, you who are saved, and then you feel like God can’t hear you, or He doesn’t care. Ask yourself! just as Jehovah God heard the cries of sinners like Ahab and Manasseh who provoked him to such an extent, how could he not hear you who, you have already given your life ..
He hears you very much. and he sympathizes with you more than you think, and he cares for you, and he hears your prayers… So you have no reason to despair? .. Continue to trust him and pray earnestly for him. Let’s read it again here.
Psalm 107: 4 “They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; They did not see the city to stay. 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6: They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation ”.
Psalm 107: 4 “They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; They did not see the city to stay.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6: They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation ”.
Psalm 105: 8 “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
I want to tell you that if you are saved, the Lord loves you and is closer to you than even sinners, if you are saved your cry before Him is heard More than the cries of Ahab and Manasseh .. So just keep following God diligently because you are so precious to him, possessors sin not to overcome you, cling to the Lord, wherever He is, He will be with you always.For those who trust in God, their end is as good as Job’s.
James 5:11 “Behold, we call them blessed that waited. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy ”.
God bless you .
EVERY ONE SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF
BENEFITS OF PRAYER
The weakness the devil loves in a person is to over-think… The habit of thinking too much leads to loss of confidence, and even Faith on what you were going to do or say. And in the Faith, there are a few small things that are worth considering otherwise you will find yourself lacking courage and stability everywhere and failing to serve God. The Holy Spirit works in silence.
The Lord Jesus spoke these words to the disciples…
Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will beat you; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. for what you are to speak will be given you in that hour ”.
Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will beat you; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. for what you are to speak will be given you in that hour ”.
Then the Lord spoke in a place of suspension in front of the accusers… that we should not be afraid and start thinking about how to defend ourselves or how to respond… instead be SILENCE !! May the Holy Spirit do His work… for at the same time He will give us a mouth of wisdom that will unravel all their snares… the same is true when preaching.
When you are sent by the Holy Spirit to stand up and preach… it is not the time to start thinking about what you are going to say, how I will preach all that time, how I will plan the words, how I will pray, how I will begin to explain this verse and that. once you start allowing those thoughts then the sun is very easy to prevent the Spirit from flowing properly in you…
What you should do after preparing the lesson, that there is a revelation the Holy Spirit has given you, through your own spirit or through His servant… and so you feel led to share it with others… directly prepare a few verses that support your lesson..after that time keep praying for other things… and wait for the time to come… and when you arrive start talking… as you speak the Holy Spirit will join you and you will find yourself flowing in a way that even you yourself will be amazed. but if you start to get scared..and think… the pastor knows better than me, what if I preach in front of him, someone knows the bible better than me… what if I make a mistake, if I run out of words in the middle… will I be able to finish the whole hour preaching? .. and this voice of mine stuttering how will it be? .. which line should I start with and which line should end?
Don’t think of all that… and don’t let those questions go around your head… The Holy Spirit will give you a mouth of wisdom at the same time you are preaching. and just after preaching you’ll find yourself back to your normal routine…
And wondering how you got through the hour so fast, how you managed to organize the words and not your routine, you’ll be amazed at the Word changing people, and others opening and healing… if you see that the sun is the Holy Spirit at work… you it was used only as a tool.
Now that power of the Holy Spirit fills and diminishes in a person… but does not leave the person when a person is in a state of normal activity or asleep it becomes diminished… but only if something happens! it often descends into a person for example when a person stands up to preach, it descends into it… that is when a person finds himself gaining extra confidence, the things he could not say or do he finds a certain instinct to enter him… or a man of God standing before him sued in court or elsewhere and does not know what to say… suddenly he wonders if he has found the wisdom to answer etc.
That is why the Lord said “do not think” means that there is a time when you will find yourself unable or unwilling to do something, it is a time to feel weak… then it is not a time to be depressed, because there is a Holy Spirit who will come down to strengthen you ..as the Apostle Paul said by the power of the Spirit somewhere…
2 Corinthians 12: 9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. for MY POWER IS FULFILLED IN WEAKNESS. So I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ”
If you are a bible reader you will know about Samson… This man was not always strong.. and neither does the bible say that he was the greatest man of all, or if Goliath… was just a normal man… probably even had the muscles of only average, like that of other men is what it means it was difficult for people to know the nature of his power? .. because he looked just like the others .now what was happening to Samson was that when something happened then the powers came to him… Not always he had sometimes he was like ordinary people with moderate powers…
But when something happens either the enemies around him then the power of the Holy Spirit they descend upon him and give him incredible power to destroy them… and after that the forces diminish and return to being a normal person… Until another time of the event .. (read Samson’s story carefully and you will discover it), not only him… even some kings and Judges in the bible… For example King Saul, when there was a war in Israel and the people lacked the courage to go to war… then the Spirit of God came upon him with power and gave him incredible courage to go to war… which surprised many .
So from today don’t think about the time to go do God’s work if you had that attitude.. and not just God’s work but even any work..as long as you have given Christ your life and dedicated your ways to Him ..because wherever you go he will be with you, give you a mouth, give you wisdom, give you understanding, give you understanding, give you power, fight for you, guide you… and you will see God’s hand… and you will know that God exists and without Him you cannot do anything… So move forward and do not look left or right.
Exodus 14:14 “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward ”
Exodus 14:14 “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward ”

QUESTION: When is the true Sabbath? Is it Sunday or Saturday ?, What day should we worship?
ANSWER: The Word of God says that God is a Spirit and that those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Christians are not justified before God in the days, months or years of worship, either worship Sunday, Monday, Saturday or Wednesday is just a human procedure! it does not add anything to one’s relationship with God. The Bible says.
Galatians 4: 9 “But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? You observe days, and months, and times, and years. ”
And It also says again in
Colossians 2:16 “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: those things are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s. ”
So the meaning of the word Sabbath is “rest”, and rest for Christians is in the spirit, and our Savior Jesus told us that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (read Matthew 12:8), so when we find JESUS we have found the SABBATH or “our spiritual rest” and yes. for he says ..
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls; 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ”
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls; 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ”
So those who worship on Saturday, or Sunday or Wednesday do not make mistakes, it is just their system, before God they are all the same, for example we read in the bible the early Christians appointed the first day of the week (ie SUNDAY) for gathering and donating and breaking. bread, if you read Acts 20: 7 and 1 Corinthians 16: 1-2 you will see that, so to set a certain day and say that is what God is pleased to worship more than any other day, is to misunderstand the scriptures. because true worship is in the spirit and God is worshiped in spirit and in truth, and not on a specific day or special months or special years but every hour and every time anywhere.
Be very blessed.

Why is Jesus Christ so important to us?
One of the responsibilities we have is to “get to know Jesus Christ better”. This is one of the greatest responsibilities we have because it is the foundation of our redemption..If we do not know Jesus at all then it is difficult to know our place and the Grace given to us by the Lord… And the result of not understanding Jesus is to end up despising grace and being lost.
Now the responsibility to know Jesus, Is not to know his appearance how good he looked, or what color he was, or what kind of hair he had, or what he liked to eat? The responsibility we have been given is to UNDERSTAND THE POSITION HE HAS IN US. Once we know that position we will understand the agenda of God very well. However, so far no one has reached the limit of knowing all that opportunity..but as the days go by we get to understand it and the more we love and respect God.
Ephesians 4:13Kjv
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Today let us remind ourselves how important the death of Jesus was to those of us who were lost in sin.In the Bible we read shortly before the Lord Jesus was crucified. Pilate released one of the prisoners who was a killer in the city.
This Barabbas had a murder case in the city, and he was a violent man, The Bible calls him a “a notable prisoner” (Matthew 27:16). All the people testified against him that he was cruel, so they did not need him at all, so he was arrested by the Romans and imprisoned and awaited his sentence, and he would surely be killed more cruelly than anyone else, because everyone was against him. And while he was in prison everyone, including himself, knew that he deserved to be punished, there was no chance for him to be released. But as people’s saying “Even a strongest chain has a weak point”, God can make a way where there seems to be no way.
Barabbas being in prison maybe his heart started to regret and he felt guilty for what he had
done , those innocent people he killed, knowing that even a single killing was enough to be sentenced to death, how much more many innocent death he caused?
Just one morning he was surprised to be called out, to get out of prison..and when he came out he knew he was going to be killed and probably all the prisoners knew he was going to be finished with a lot of anger..suddenly he came out he saw a lot of people cheering him out, rejoicing at his release Barabbas! unlocked him! let Barabbas be set free! when he wonders how it is possible maybe they were wrong they mean another Barabbas…. a little farther he sees a man with a crown of thorns on his head and he is very quiet like a lamb about to be slaughtered stand near him, and Pilate tells him, this man will carry your sentence… He will die on your behalf… Obviously he was a little surprised.
I believe his life began to change from then on… Because he knew what was the source of his life and his freedom? … If was not Jesus rejected, If was not Jesus striped, he wouldn’t be survived, Now think again, Will such a person ever kill again ?, will he mock JESUS ?, will he despise the cross? … And if he despises the cross and goes out there and continues his murder, what do you think will happen to him before God and men?
That is what Jesus’ position for us is… Barabbas is an example for you and me… Now how does the Lord Jesus take our sins? .. Not by carrying a parcel and putting it on his shoulders, no he scarified his life for our sake, he was insulted, ridiculed ..the more he was ridiculed and insulted, the more the value of Barabbas in the prison increased. The dignity of the Lord Jesus came down for us to rise.
When Barabbas was in prison he did not know if Christ was being insulted out there for him. The cross is not something to be ignored or to be trifled with at all my brother. All the good things you get today are because of Jesus Christ, if He were not, the world would endup many days ago… God would have ended the world with a curse a long time ago…
Many people do not know that it is God who’s fighting for them, without even asking him, many do not even know that in their immorality it is God who provides for them without even asking Him, and they do not know it is grace works for them, it is because of JESUS CHRIST. if it were not for Jesus to suffer 2000 years ago there would be no adulterer who would still be alive today. We all deserved to die.
But this Grace you are playing with..you think it is your right to live in your state of fornication, your theft, your immorality, your drunkenness, your murder, your blasphemy, your homosexuality, your filthiness etc. There come a time this grace will cease.
When this Grace is taken away, it will leave wih the church. The saints will be removed from the world. The great tribulation will begin. you will be scattered all over the world no one will be safe from those who will be left behind in the rapture, at that time there will be no one to tell you to repent of your sins.
In those days there will be no more cinemas, people will go to watch sports, there will be no field for people to go to watch, the roads will be closed, everyone will be alone, suffering the blows ..you see today this Corona disease today caused the roads to be closed, schools closed, no one to go to work in the affected nations, everyone locked himself in..In those days will be 100 times worse than today, there will be no walking in the streets..every one man shares the plagues on his own. in the midst of this strange plague of boils… the rain will stop falling, the sun will go down, there will be nothing green, hail will not fall, nor ice.
A lot of wonderful things will happen, these are not fictional stories, read all of Revelation 16, you will see, and if the rapture passes you by then you will witness it all.
Hebrews 10:25 “25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:25 “25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
If you have not repented, The door of Grace today open today… It is better not to spend time commenting and liking instead repent if you have not repented. Don’t just read it as a fun story, but this message should be a cause for change for you ..and the meaning of repentance is “turning around”. It means you are giving up what you were doing that was not pleasing to God, and you are going to be baptized in the proper baptism and receive the Holy Spirit. You do those things with all your heart.
The Lord bless you so much.

An important question for our Lord (Rabbi where do you live)?.
John 1:35 “Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. and it was about the tenth hour.
John 1:35 “Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. and it was about the tenth hour.
Shortly before the Lord Jesus began His earthly ministry, John the Baptist appeared to witness to him, preaching almost everywhere about the coming of the Savior of the world. and as he preached, he told them that the Savior was already among the Jews but they did not recognize Him (John 1:26).
That made many people wonder, who is He, and where does He live? .. John told all the people that even he himself did not know, but God told him that he who would see the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove would be.
So some of his students were very careful to wait until the event was revealed. and indeed, when the days came, when Jesus had been led up by the Spirit into the baptism of John, while he was still in the water, he was baptized, he announced that this is the savior of the world, all the people who were there heard ..But after Jesus was baptized he went away, and they did not know where he was going fortunately the next day, when John was with two of his disciples he was teaching them, one of whom was Andrew, probably asking him about the coming of the Savior who had given the news yesterday. Suddenly, they saw the Lord Jesus passing by them. Place and as he passed by, he saw him, and said unto them, Look on him lamb of God !! .. At the same time, the two disciples quickly left John and began to follow the Lord Jesus secretly. then when Jesus realized that there were people following him from afar he turned around and asked them what are you looking for??, This is a question that even today..
The Lord Jesus is asking us who claim to follow Him..What? what are we looking for What do we want? but the two young men did not tell the Rabbi, we are sick to pray, nor did they tell him we ask you to lay hands on us and bless us, nor did they ask you to sit and teach them on the street, nor did they ask for miracles, No! Instead they asked the Rabbi, where do you live?
We need to know where you live so that we know how to find you even if you get lost in our eyes to know where we are giving you ..we have a lot to learn from you, we need to sit down and talk to you, while on the road alone it is not enough to solve all our problems, and serve all our needs… where we end the conversation then we will never see each other again.
When Jesus heard this, he sent them away to their home that made the disciples at peace from then on and soon after one day, Andrew, who was one of the disciples, went to call his brother Peter to come to Jesus. Now imagine if he did not know the dwelling place of Jesus, he would direct his brother to a place to find Jesus.? Even now, many people follow Jesus, but they do not ask where he lives If you say I am looking for healing, then He will give you your healing and your story will be over right there if you say I am looking for a house and cars he will give you a house and cars but your information and he will end up on the way, if you say I am looking for a fiance he will give you a fiance but your contract will end there… But if you say LORD DWELL, WHERE? then he will take you and welcome you and see you stay.
When he stays you will find everything, most of all if you need him anytime, you know where you will find him, even if someone else needs to know the Jesus you are following it will be easy to tell him where he is because he knows his home… .and his home is probably no more than in HIS WORD. Many people today are running away from the Word of God, looking for shortcuts to Christ ..and that is why the Lord is not permanent in them because they meet Him on the road just like a hawk, just turning a corner then they do not see Him again.. and they do not know Him anymore. .because they have found the need of their hearts. when you run from the Word of God, you don’t want to know Christ in His Word and then look for Him in intercession, or the anointing water, or miracles there is the same as running from Christ, because He Himself is the WORD.
Any preacher who brings you the good news of Jesus Christ is an example of John the Baptist.. he is pointing you to Christ, so it is your responsibility to find out what goals you follow with Him. If it is only temporary, to meet your needs then, or that is permanent ..if it is permanent then you want to know where he lives…
If the word of Christ abides in you, then know that you are nearer to Jesus than any other man, as was the case with the apostles, who were more than just the multitudes who were following Christ you’ll just hold on to your religion, or your denomination, you think Christ is there and you don’t know the Bible, you never set aside to read at least one whole gospel book without waiting to be told by somebody or preacher I want to tell you haven’t found Jesus yet. and sometimes he passes by walking here and there and meet you on your journey of Life… like the people of Emmaus, who were walking and suddenly on the way Jesus joined them without themselves knowing if it was Jesus… and if you read there carefully you will see after Jesus talking to them while On the way, he wanted to continue on his journey.. until the two men forced him to go inside and eat with them.. and when he came in and ate with them, suddenly their eyes were opened and they recognized him as Jesus, and he disappeared from their sight. (Luke 24:13-32)
Likewise today when you hear a gospel like this that reaches you when you are free, it is Jesus passing by you to make sure you welcome him into your home (ie let him come into your heart like the people of Emmaus).
In His Word as the two disciples of Jesus did.it is my prayer that Today, do not let Jesus be the ONLY PASSENGER FOR YOU, begin to take a permanent step to go to His home (in His Word), to find true rest.. and may He come to you Christ will be with you always… He will call you FRIEND as he called them APOSTLES ask him today where you live? And he will reveal to you things that even other humans do not know because you are always in his house and he is in your home.
Be blessed
What did God mean to say deny yourself?
IF GOD IS IMPROVING HIS WORKS,WHY DON’T YOU IMPROVE YOURS?
FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU.
There is only one true friend and he is JESUS..Today we will look at it why !. It is easy to give out everything to your blood relative, to give out properties and status, and even sometimes to give out your life for your blood relative, Yes! that is also possible, many are willing to die so that their children can survive, there are those who are willing to go through many hardships and distress for the sake of their little ones, or their parents. Such group of people exists in all generation, and their number is very high…But to find people who can give their lives for their “friend’s sake”, that group of people very small, if not exist at all.
Why is it difficult? because naturally a brother is often better than a friend, a father is better than a friend, a child is better than a neighbor, a mother is better than a friend etc. Because friend is not always friend, they can be fine today, but tomorrow could someone else. That’s the only character dis value a friend’s position compared to relative. But if he happens to be someone who will be willing to give his life for his friends… That is, he is willing to die in place of his friend, Of course that person will be very special, because even though he knows the hypocrisy of friends but he is however ready to give out his life to them, even if he knows those friends may come to betray him or deny him later .. Surely he will be more than a friend… His love will be beyond brotherly love.
and that is none other than Jesus..who agreed to give up his life for us his friends, who are untrustworthy ..Yes!
John 15:13-15Kjv
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Haven’t you just met a real friend? ..he himself says NO ONE HAS MORE LOVE THAN THIS, of a man giving his life for his friends… (Giving up your life to a Brother is easy but not a friend).
I can’t be your best friend, even your close best friend can’t be as best as Jesus was, to offer his life for us, any friend cant reach that point, If you realize that you friend tomorrow he will betray you to death, will you continue to love him today? .. will you still continue to call him friend ??…
Or if your friend realize that tomorrow, have you planed to bribe him, will he still call you a friend today? He will not hate you and call you a hypocrite? Will he dare to die for you? .. if he can’t then he is not a true friend.. you make call him just a friend! But he is not a true friend.
There is only one true friend… who, even though you have lost in sin, still loves you, and he died for you.
Proverbs 18:24Kjv
24 “….. and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother”.
so friend, dare to approach this friend called JESUS, he is not a hypocrite, he does not hold a grudge, he does not hesitate once he loves you, he loves you indeed!! .. do not despise him, Surrender your life to him today if you do not give it to him… and you will find good, and at the last day he will raise you up and resurrect all those who believed and accepted him…

THE ANCIENT DRAGON/SERPENT
What is the Anchor of the Soul?
Let us meditate on the living words of our LORD. Brother, if you do not have the hope that is found only in JESUS, it is difficult to end this journey of your life here on earth safely, no matter how happy you are, that happiness is fake my brother, you cannot overcome this world full of temptations and troubles, and many traps of the enemy, you can’t ..
No matter how much money you have, you will still get to the point where you will be carried away by water only, even if you depend on some human being, eternal life will not be possible for you.
And that is why there are times when the LORD JESUS said that, in order for a house to be safe, it must first be built on a strong foundation, otherwise if it is built without a foundation there is a time when even a strong wind blows, the house will be golf. And that foundation is Jesus CHRIST. Read ..
Matthew 7:24-25 Kjv
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
But there is also a time when you will go through a place where you cannot dig a foundation under you, because below there is a lot of water, there is a sea, there is a lake, etc, For example, sailors, knowing that in order to protect themselves from the dangers of strong winds or storms, have to travel with another unique device, called anchor. The anchor’s job is to go very low, to make sure it goes down to the place where the sea or lake ends, and to meet the rock below, then it lands there, now when it stucks there, even a storm of strong winds passing up there is hard to overturn the vessel.
Anchor’s reputation is that it goes very far, looking for a foundation, thing that nothing else can do.
So it is with the man who received Jesus with all his heart today, ..What GOD is doing from that moment on, is that He is lowering this anchor of the soul, called HOPE, which goes straight to the heart of CHRIST (the real Rock), uniting you and Him, so that no matter how strong the waves come before you, they will not overwhelm you. You will go through all kinds of trials, you will go through hardships, you will go through trials, you will go through all kinds of adversity for the sake of your faith, but being cut off from the line of salvation is something that will not always be possible, people will look at your foundation why don’t we see it, they’ll see it’s just a little rope dropped in the water, but down at the bottom is heavy metal set on a very hard rock (JESUS CHRIST) So that you cannot be shaken, by any wave of the devil.
Hebrews 6:18-20 Kjv
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
But if you have not given your life to CHRIST, or you are just lukewarm, that is, one foot out, the other one inwardly, it is incomprehensible, then this Hope GOD cannot put in you.
Brother Salvation is a very real thing, and it is truly the power of GOD, anyone who is determined to follow JESUS, this anchor must be one hundred percent lower into his spirit. Do not trust in religion, or denomination, or anybody that calls himself an apostle or a prophet, or whatever it is, all of them can’t save you here on earth except CHRIST alone.
And salvation comes by believing, and being baptized, when you believe directly you are ready and going to be baptized also in the proper baptism by immersion in the water and in the name of JESUS CHRIST. And after that you begin to live the life of a person as saved.
Then GOD brings this hope into you, which no enemy wave will be able to remove you.
So if you are out of CHRIST or you were lukewarm and that is why the world overcame you, it is your time now to make the right decision, resolve yourself first from your heart, then kneel to show that you need GOD’S help, and confess your mistakes. , then begin the process of finding the right immersion baptism (if would need that service, kindly contact us), ..and then begin to live a life in line with your repentance.
And from that moment on you will see a great change in your life for the Holy Spirit who has been brought into you. Because salvation is more powerful than anything else on earth.
God bless you.
