  • Jesus was born so that we may go to heaven, that we may overcome the world, the power of sin and be redeemed.  How can we overcome?

    Jesus died on the cross and defeated Satan.  We can overcome the world and the power of sin, by believing in Jesus. 

    If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

  • Who can overcome the world like Jesus? ?

    Jesus said: "And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

     For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

  • God so loved the people of the world that He gave His only Son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross.  Do you believe this?

    God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    You won't go to hell.  You will go to heaven with me and will have life eternal with God.

  • A Saudi Arabian was converting people to Islam, until Jesus appeared to him.  How can you miss this great incident?

    USA: Saudi Converted Americans to Islam, Until...

    Source: God Reports, November 28, 2020

     

    Nasser, who was born and raised on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, longed to die for Allah by waging jihad and thus improving his chances of making it into Paradise.

     

    “God had other plans for me,” he says on a Your Living Manna video.

     

    In the summer of 1990, Nasser plotted to run away and join [the] jihad, but Iraq’s Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. At the time, he was actually in the United States with his mother visiting relatives and the ensuing world chaos prevented him from leaving.

     

    “What was I going to do? I was surrounded by infidels. You either make [war] against them or you try to bring them into Islam another way,” he says. “I thought Allah brought me here to evangelize them.”

     

    As he learned about American culture, he eventually perceived that born-again Christians were different than the rest of Americans (who he wrongly assumed to all be Christians), and he began to target them because he figured it would be easy for them to switch since they already lived clean lives.

     

    One of those loving and clean-living Christians was a woman with whom Nasser fell in love.

     

    “That was my undoing,” he admits.

  • Do you know a depressed person healed by Jesus?

    From Depression to praise

       I said to myself many times, “I am useless” or “I am good for nothing” or

    “I cannot do this or that.” I was very sad. I did not smile for weeks. I was suffering from satanic depression.

    In 1991 I was interested in subjects such as Old Testament Theology. For one of the assignments for Bachelor’s Degree course, I was going through the Messianic prophecies. An aspect of the Messiah is His Kingship over the world. There are psalms written hundreds of years before Christ which portray His divinity and career.

    I give here two passages.

    The LORD says to my lord (Christ),

    “Sit at my right hand

    until I put your enemies

    a footstool for your feet.” Psalm 110: 1

    All kings will bow down to him

    and all nations will serve him.

    He will take pity on the weak and the needy

    and save the needy from death.

    He will rescue them from oppression and violence,

    for precious is their blood in his sight. Psalm 72: 11-14

     

    When I was going through these and other related verses, it was obvious to me that Jesus Christ is the One who is fulfilling all these prophecies. So I said audibly, “Praise the LORD”.

     

    Immediately I felt the weight of satanic depression being lifted from my head. In response, again I praised God. Since He has healed me, my negative thoughts and words disappeared for His glory. I could smile again, and I was filled with joy. He gave me a new song. Since then, I have been serving our great God.

  • Jesus gives new life to Luis when he trusted in Him.  Is this the way He builds His church?

    NASHVILLE (BP) – Somewhere in a Venezuelan prison, Luis*, a 26-year-old inmate, recently received new life after placing His trust in Christ. And his newfound faith has been bolstered in large part due to a new Bible he received through a partnership with LifeWay and an organization that has been mobilized to distribute copies of God’s Word throughout the country.

    In August 2020, LifeWay Christian Resources donated nearly 30,0000 copies of Spanish “Reina Valera” (RVR) Bibles of nine different types for distribution across Venezuela through the global ministry partner. Some of the types of Bibles include large print, reference and “Colormax” – a more visually dynamic version suited for students.

    This mission wasn’t without its challenges. Fuel shortages and COVID-19 lockdowns hindered the distribution. Even still, hundreds of ministry partners were mobilized to transport Bibles through 2,200 churches in 19 Venezuelan states between October and December 2020, primarily to citizens who did not previously own a Bible – people like Luis.

    “I had no Bible, and it is a gift I never expected to receive,” Luis wrote. “It is something marvelous that I will truly cherish. I am moved as I see the hand of God operating through your ministry, which I realize is the result of much effort. The attention you give us here in prison seems incredible to me, because I know God is able to change lives.”

  • Whose birth was celebrated by angels' message and a guiding star?

    Glory in the Highest

    8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”

    13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

    14

    “Glory to God in the highest,

    And on earth peace, goodwill[e] toward men!”

    15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made [f]widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

    Jesus’ dramatic visit to Muslim in London hospital

    December 12, 2020

    By Michael Ashcraft —

    Haithman Besmar was a closet Muslim in London when he contracted a rare virus that hospital doctors told him would kill him overnight.

    “I started praying for Allah to take me because I didn’t want to be a vegetable,” the Damascus-born economist told GodSpeed magazine. “I didn’t want to be dependent on anybody, and I didn’t want to be a burden for my young family.”

    Raised by a devout family, Haithman yearned to please Allah. With uncommon intelligence, he memorized the entire Koran in high school. But he started asking questions. Since it is a sin to question Allah, his parents punished him severely “to save him from Hell,” he says.

    At age 17, he departed for England to study civil engineering, finance and economics.

    In the West, “I concealed my identity as a Muslim because it was so embarrassing for me, everything that was going on in the Muslim world,” he says. Aside from beheading of infidels in the Middle East, the Arabs who came to England displayed flagrant hedonism (while very religious at home, Muslims often give unrestrained abandon to their fleshly desires abroad.)

    Haithman Besmar wanted to disassociate himself from the Muslims in Britain

    “I didn’t want to be associated as one of them,” he says.

    In the office, he projected the image of being a native from England. But in private, he prayed five times ...

  • Who is the liar?

    The Old Testament prepares Israel and the world for the coming of the Messiah – the one who would be specially anointed by God and sent by God to save the world. Islam’s categorical repudiation of Jesus’ claim to be God’s Messiah is characterised as a lie in the First Letter of John.

    “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist – denying the Father and the Son”

    (1 John 2:22).

  • Muslims think they should pray 5 times a day.  In many nations with loud speakers they in vain call for people for prayer.  T / F?

    This is because they are on the way to hell, because allah of quran is a deceiver and quran and the Bible say the opposite things.  Since the Bible is true, the quran is wrong. This they can verify by reading the Bible and praying to the one true God.

    the Bible says:  Jesus said:

    “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

  • What will you do if you are threatened with death?

    Threatened with Death

    It was Easter Sunday, 1973. Uganda groaned under the terror of Idi Amin. Still fresh in young Pastor Kefa Sempangi’s memory was a face burned beyond recognition, the sight of soldiers cruelly beating a man, and the horrible sound of boots crushing bones—all for the crime of being a Christian. But Easter of 1973 Pastor Sempangi bravely and openly preached on the risen Lord in his town’s football stadium to over 7,000 people. After the service, five of Idi Amin’s Secret Police followed Sempangi back to his church and closed the door behind them. Five rifles pointed at Sempangi’s face. “We are going to kill you for disobeying Amin’s orders,” said the captian. “If you have something to say, say it before you die.” Sempangi, thinking of his beautiful wife and lovely little girl, began to shake. But the risen Lord living in his heart gave him the courage to speak. “Do what you must,” he said. “The Word of God says that in Christ I am already dead, and that my real life is hidden with Him in God. It is not my life that is in danger, but yours. I am alive in the risen Lord but you are still dead in your sins. May He spare you from eternal destruction.”

     

    The leader looked at Sempangi for a long time. Then he lowered his gun and said, “Will you pray for us?” Sempangi did, and those five officers, were converted through the witness of Sempangi’s bravery. They also became his protectors.

  • God of the Bible transforms the hearts of enemies.  Do you know?

    Juba was a well-known militant leader (I’ve changed names for security). For 30 years, he had been a recruiter of boys. He groomed them to hate, to become fighters willing to die for their radical militant cause.

    A “JESUS” film team arrived in Juba’s area. When he heard the news, Juba became enraged.

    He urged his followers, his trainees and fellow militants to root out the ‘evil’ that had come to them, commanding that they go and kill the team.
