IN GOD WE TRUST!

The Bible is clear that a child of God must and should trust God in every aspect of his life. Trusting always accompanies Praying for the needs and requirements and the needed logistical support to execute the plan of God in our lives. So trusting in God first means having faith in God and exercising the same faith in our lives. Exercising our faith needs time the time appointed by God. So we need to trust, pray and wait with patience for the fulfillment of the promises of God in our lives.

SHALOM YESHARIM!

Israel is a focal point in the plan of God and indeed in world Histrory.When Jesus said about fig tree(Lk 21:29-33).God has very much importance towards Israel. Whole world and the church is commanded to look carefully at Israel.

When I concentrate on Israel God revealed to me that Israel has the Divine covenants of promise constitute Jesus Christ and the nation of Israel (as the seed of Abraham) the chosen instruments for God’s redemption of all nations:

“In thee and thy seed shall all nations of the earth be blessed” (Gen 28:14).All history moves to this divinely appointed time for the millennial reign of Christ as said by Christ in (Lk 21:29-33).

I believe that God has called Israel to be a witness to the gospel but because of their negative volition to Christ they have been scattered around the world during the attack by Titus on Jerusalem. We see that during 7 years tribulation on this earth the 1, 44,000 witnesses will be from Israel testifying the coming reign of millennium by Christ on this earth. We also see the true prophets Moses and Elijah evangelizing the whole world. This event will be noticed by all the nations through the television in news channel. We see that there is rampant growth in the increase of news channel around the world and in India there are hundreds of news channel increasing day by day. recently in telugu there was only 2-3 news channels but at present there are more than 15 news channels alone in telugu language .This increase in news media around the world indicates that the world evangelism, wonders & miracles by this two prophets will be lively broadcasted around the world and their assassination will be seen by whole world during the period 7 year tribulation. So Israel will be the witness for the lord. It is his grace plan and man cannot overrule the plan of almighty. Who is Ahmadinejad? Is nothing but an emissary of Satan and trying to wipeout the plan of God for Israel?” God said I will curse those who will curse you” (Gen 12:3).

Ahmadinejad is bringing curse on himself by defying the chosen nation of God! Will God leave him unpunished no never, even President Obama is not going to support Israel or even Britain may not going to support Israel God will support Israel because He has given an unconditional covenant to Israel.Britian once supported Israel but later kept silent on the issues of Israel. we see rampant degeneration and apostasy is being experienced by Britian.World terrorism is being supported from Britian.Many mosques are built in Britian.That’s why I always say that America and Britain are the Biggest mission fields for evangelisation.However America’s prosperity will depend upon not by the economic policies entertained by the barrack Obama but by the support rendered by America to Israel.

Even India has good relationship with Israel.,the amazing fact is that the fundamental Hindus whole heartedly support Israel and wish to have strong ties with Israel.Iam happy that whenever I approach to preach my fellow brethren that Jesus Christ is an Asian and an Israelite(My Boss is a Jewish carpenter),Christianity is emerged from the Jewish culture from Israel. Accepting and having relationship with Israel may provide physical blessings but for spiritual blessings every nation has to bow down to the Yashua Messiah and must accept him as their personal savior for the forgiveness of sins and for the gift of eternal life. India’s prosperity and all other countries of the world prosperity will surely depend upon the ties they entertain with Israel and the principle is in the Bible (Gen 12:1-4).

Carnal man may not perceive this connection but spiritual man may perceive the prophecies concerning the Israel in Bible. America’s future prosperity surely depends upon the policies and support it formulates toward the Israel. If not USA will face the wrath of God.
If president of Iran changes his heart God is surely going to bless Him and also his country. If not no hand against Israel will prosper. We have already seen it in the History during 1967 (Six day war and The Yom Kippur war).

So we see that Israel is a witness-the –witness to men regarding God, his promises and His purpose on this earth. The work of God concentrates on Israel, and in this work He is revealed to disbelieving man as a real God afar off, and having a real purpose amongst the nations of the earth.

“Thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee Israel, fear not: for I have redeemed thee; .thou art mine.”(Isa 43:1; 41:8; 14; 43:10; 15; 44:24).

Yes, it is true that complete peace for Israel is possible when God defeats Satan in Historical Armageddon war during the Second Advent of Christ and establishes His millennial reign. Where Israel will be literally:

“Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Ex 19:6).

Prophet Isaiah Declares:”Thy people shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever. The branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified” (Isa 60:21).

Israel will then be the light of the world:” The gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” The nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish” (Isa 60:3; 12).

DIVINE BASICS FOR DREAM WEDDING!

Divine Basics of Holy Matrimony!







What is the perfect plan of God for biblical matrimony?many people desire long term good relationship in the matrimony.only Biblical basis provides the true meaning and source of true happiness for a committed relationship in the marriages.Today marriages are broken due to the reason Christ is not centred and Bible orientation is not focused as the basis for a good relationship in the matrimony. Yes everyone seeks for a good relationship in Christ. Only the Word of God provides a blessing not only for relationship but for fellowship of “The Royal family of God”. The word of God is the place where we can learn about God’s Word!

Marriage is a Divine institution and has divine blueprint for mankind.It is not a carnal institution.if carnal plans are entertained the true purpose of marriage is broken and satan is at very point to bring the carnal issues in the Divine institution.Satan in order to break the Divine institution of marriage is always trying to highlight the very carnal concerns in the mankind.A wo/man have their own checklist for their future mates like someone who” Makes me laugh”,” Makes me feel good”,” Physically active”,"Bold and Courageous”. Exactly all these words are nothing but this are the mere human ideals and emotions .In other word they are “Carnal passions.However this may be required in a relationship but This words are not basic foundations for a strong relationship for the Christian family.


“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’”(Matt 4:4).

“Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things–and the things that are not–to nullify the things that are,so that no one may boast before him.It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God–that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.31Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”(I Cor 1:26-31).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together”(Rom 8:1-17)..

Do Not Love the World
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.For everything in the world–the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does–comes not from the Father but from the world.The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever”(I John 2:15-17).


The strong foundation (Divine Basics for Dream Wedding) for the Christian family comes from the source of Mutual relationship based on collective study of the word of God, Collective prayers, collective mutual trust and very strongly on the Christian Integrity and committment.

Families that doesn’t have Christ as the centre in every aspect of their life is not a happy family. A family or a relationship that is not based on the spiritual aspects has no value in the sight of God. The entire carnal check list we produce is not at all a base. We are the children of God and family of God. A strong relationship comes only by the more love we have for God!

Because the God’s word says:

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said to him,” You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind”. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it:’ You shall love your neighbor as yourself’. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”(Matt 22:36-40).

So by above verses it is clear that a strong Christian life and the source of a strong Christian family is based on loving God at first and later is to love others. This is the basis for a strong Christian life and relationships. If a wo/man puts I would like to have a girl or boy who loves God more than me is the correct way of expressing a strong relationship. Because one who loves God definitely loves other because that is the second step immediately followed by loving God at first. The wo/man who loves God at first would definitely love others especially the one whom is getting married!

The one who loves god always loves others!
PRINCIPLE: You cannot truly love a wo/man. If you are not a true lover of God.

Carnal passions are not the basis for strong relationships for the children of God. Further I wish the following excerpts will be an added encouragement for the better understanding of a relationship or marriage.

UNITY IN GOD!

In God’s intent the relationship of husband and wife is to be completed in their oneness with God. The relationship between Adam and Eve began to deteriorate when they chose alienation from God. Perhaps their creation of clothing was the intuitive response and first evidence of this interdependence of the two relationships, horizontal between husband and wife and vertical between each and his Lord. Oneness in Christ gives depth and staying power to the human relationships.

Thus, in God’s marvelous design for marriage the Unity/Oneness in God reinforce one another in a glorious spiral upward toward the fulfillment of God’s purpose in Marriage.

Since God planned marriage to be so good, it is no wonder that he should, in love for his people, create safeguards to keep it good. These are necessary because there are many enemies of God’s plan, many ways of abusing human sexuality that subvert and destroy the purposes he had in mind. In fact, anything that would detract from the oneness of the two God puts together, anything that would eliminate procreation, or anything that would distort the reflection in human marriage of God’s own nature is the enemy of God and Man.

ONENESS IN HEART AND MIND

The first positive element in oneness is not physical union (which we have come to glorify as “sex’), but the completing of another in a love relationship that embraces all of life.

Even the oneness of Bodies cannot be fulfilling in its most satisfying potential unless there is oneness to some degree in spirit as well, because sex is at root a psychological phenomenon. Heart unity provides the basis for releasing the ultimate in physical ecstasy, but it goes far beyond the momentary physical thrill to a total-life mutual satisfaction and fulfillment.

The Biblical standard for oneness and wholeness is love, which includes sharing of interests, activities, purposes, and goals. Of course, partners may have interests and activities independent of one another, but their oneness of purpose and loving identity calls for open verbal sharing of all aspects of life. Communication is the channel of Unity. Without it, true oneness will prove illusive. (Here I want to add my personal thought that the communication here means that the Biblical pattern of communication is the important aspect of our lives).

But oneness is more than self-giving love and open communication, which can and often should characterize other human relations. These alone will not hold a marriage together for long. The romantic euphoria of the newlywed may soon be dissipated under the impact of the harsh realities of life in which two independent beings are shut up to one another, especially when the desires of one begin to impinge on the desires or rights of the other. Communication can be a weapon to destroy unity as well as a channel in which loving unity may flow. What is the essential ingredient, then, if it is not love?

The key to a successful marriage and the cement that holds two people together for a lifetime is commitment, an exclusive contract relationship that is not negotiable. This is the only basis for true oneness in marriage. Without this commitment to fidelity and loyalty, any relationship, no matter how loving at the outset, is too fragile to survive.Furthermore, without this commitment, there is a tentativeness that undermines the relationship and belies the profession of love. One who experienced this uncommitted relationship testifies:

You can’t say someone,” I love you. Let’s live together to see what happens.” On those terms, either of you can split at a moment’s notice. As a result you never really can be yourself or feel free to disagree without fear of losing the other person. You can never have the liberty to share your deepest feelings. You have to hold back. The relationships doesn’t get a chance to grow because it is based on a conditional acceptance which is the cover for the self-gratification of two people indulging themselves in what they politely term a meaningful relationship. Real commitment, on the other hand, says,”Iam willing to spend my life with you to see you grow.”…..others say,” For as long as we both shall love…..” Love may have some cold spots, and it alone will never be enough to hold two people together. It’s commitment that carries them over difficult times. Commitment is what God intended between a man and woman. That is why he set up marriage-to express a lifelong commitment.

Marriage is a sign and demonstration of God’s character as the great covenant maker and covenant keeper. In a covenant, the crucial elements are fidelity and integrity, not emotion (Here I want to say my personal opinion that carnal emotions have no way the strong possibilities of an effective Christian marriage.’ Someone who can make me laugh’ is a carnal passion and not a basis for a strong relationship in Christian marriage).In marriage, it is not romantic feelings nor compatibility nor sexual adjustment that makes success possible, but the fidelity of one’s covenant vow. Covenant is the crucial centre of life.

Commitment, then, is the surest evidence of true marriage-eligible love, and love, in turn, is the greatest reinforce of commitment. But oneness of spirit is not the only element of biblical unity in marriage.

ONENESS IN BODY

When God created Eve and brought her to Adam, the word was clear: The two shall be one flesh. This is one of the great,joyful,uninhibited themes of the song of songs Further more, scripture in each era teaches directly that this is the good will of God(Exo 21:10;Prov 5:15-19;I Cor 7:3-5; Heb 13:4).

“Drink water from your own cistern,running water from your own well.
Should your springs overflow in the streets,your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone,never to be shared with strangers.
May your fountain be blessed,and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always,may you ever be captivated by her love”(Prov 5:15-19)..


“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self–control.”(I Cor 7:3-5).


“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral”(Heb 13:4).

Physical union takes to its most intimate and ecstatic conclusion the oneness of heart, and reinforces it as well. In fact, each unity is essential to the fullness of the other. Just as two people committed to one another in marriage vows of love are not one untill the physical union is consummated, so two who unite physically without the marriage commitment, or in the bonds of marriage but without the love, are still incomplete. Thus in the God’s marvelous design for marriage the three unities

1) UNITY/ONENESS IN GOD
2) UNITY/ONENESS IN HEART AND MIND
3) UNITY/ONENESS IN BODY

Reinforce one another in a glorious spiral upward toward the fulfillment of God’s purpose in marriage.

Also please read (Psalm 128;Prov 31:10-31).


“Blessed are all who fear the LORD,who walk in his ways.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.
Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life;may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem,and may you live to see your children's children.Peace be upon Israel”(Psalm 128).





“A wife of noble character who can find?She is worth far more than rubies.


Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.



She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships,bringing her food from afar.


She gets up while it is still dark;she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.


She considers a field and buys it;out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.



She sets about her work vigorously;her arms are strong for her tasks.


She sees that her trading is profitable,and her lamp does not go out at night.

In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

When it snows, she has no fear for her household;for all of them are clothed in scarlet.



She makes coverings for her bed;she is clothed in fine linen and purple.



Her husband is respected at the city gate,where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,and supplies the merchants with sashes.


She is clothed with strength and dignity;she can laugh at the days to come.



She speaks with wisdom,and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her:

“Many women do noble things,but you surpass them all.”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,and let her works bring her praise at the city gate”(Prov 31:10-31).

MY STATEMENT OF BELIEFS!

• THE BIBLE: I believe that the Bible contains God’s complete coherent message to man and that in the original manuscripts, its contents are inerrant and infallible. God used the human writers of scripture in such manner that without waiving their human intelligence, their vocabulary, their personal feelings, or their literacy style His message to man was permanently recorded with perfect accuracy in the original Languages of scripture, the very words bearing the authority of divine Authorship (II Tim 3:16-17; II pet 1:21).

• CREATION: I believe that the entire Universe, its matter, energy and space were all created on microsecond of time in eternity past by Divine fiat. In Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew word for creation is BARAH and means “to create something from nothing”. The Latin equivalent of BARAH is ex nihilo.The person of the Trinity who was the agent of creation was Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:3; col 1:16-17; Heb 1:3).
  
  
  
• MAN’S CONDITION: I believe that humanity’s original parents were created in The Garden of Eden. They were perfect people in a perfect environment but due to personal sin both they and their offspring fell into total depravity. Because the man was aware of his sin, his sinful nature was passed down genetically through him to his entire Human family. As a result, the human condition is one of complete separation from God. Man, left to his own devices, is completely incapable of re-establishing a relationship With God and is thus lost in his sins (Rom 3:23; 5:12; 6:12-14).
  
  

• THE BIRTH OF CHRIST: I believe that Jesus Christ entered human history in the Fullness of time by means of the Virgin Birth. I believe his biological life to have been the the product of a virgin pregnancy, initiated by miracle of the Holy Spirit and Delivered by Mary in Bethlehem. Further, we believe that his soul life and human spirit were imputed to him by the sovereignty of God at the virgin Birth. The virgin birth is also the point at which His undiminished deity was united with his true humanity form-ing the Hypostatic Union. (Gal 4:4; Isa 7:14; Matt 1:20-24; Psalm 22:10; Heb 10:5).
  
  
  
• THE PERSON OF CHRIST: I believe that Jesus Christ is co-equal and co-eternal with the father and the holyspirit.Nevertheless, in order to provide a substitute for sinful man; He agreed to lower Himself to the form of man, to live life facing the same pressures and trials yet to do so without sin. Consequently, Jesus Christ is both undiminished deity and true humanity in one person forever. This union of God and man is defined by theology as the Hypostatic Union. This is the claim that Christ is at once both eternal God and impeccable Man (Phil 2:5-110).
  
  
  
• GRACE: This is the title of God’s plan, will and purpose for the believer. It describes all that God is free to do for us based on the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.Grace, to be grace, must never depend upon anything we think, say or do. Grace is the motivation of divine love, it is the policy of divine righteousness and it is the function of divine justice. The source of grace must always be from God, never from man. We are saved through grace (Eph 2:8-9).We are provided all our necessities through grace (Mt 6:33) and our spiritual growth is by means of grace (2 pet 3:18).
  
  
  
• THE LIFE OF CHRIST: I believe that throughout his earthly life, Jesus Christ was never guilty of any form of personal sin. He experienced all the trials and pressures typical to the human experience yet without sin. When he arrived at the cross, he did so in a state of complete perfection and impeccability. Because of the perfection of his deity, He was not able to sin; non posse peccare in the Latin. Because of the perfection of his humanity, he was able not to sin; posse non peccare in the Latin (Heb 4:15; I pet 1:19).
  
  
  
• THE WORK OF CHRIST: When on the cross Jesus Christ received the divine imputation to himself of all the sins of all of human history, past, present and future. The justice of God judged those sins in Him. God is said to have been satisfied with his sacrifice, man is redeemed from his slavery to sin, and is reconciled to god through faith in Christ (II cor 5:21; Rom 5:20-6:14).
  

• THE STATUS OF CHRIST: Jesus Christ is presently seated at the right hand of the throne of God in heaven. His true humanity now exists in a resurrection body inseparably united to His undiminished Deity n Hypostatic Union forever. He presently serves as the Head of the Church wherein. As our Advocate in heaven, He offers intercessory prayers to the Father on our behalf (Luke 24:44-51; Heb 12:2; Eph 5:23; I John 2:1; Heb 7:25).
  
  

• THE TRINITY: I believe in the co-equal, co-eternal and co infinite existence of a triune Godhead which is one in essence and three in personality. The One essence is God while the three personalities are God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (II Cor 13:14).
  
  

• THE GOSPEL: Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the entire world and three days later He arose from the dead in resurrection body (I cor 15:14).
  
  

• SALVATION: Salvation of the soul is appropriated by the grace through faith alone in Christ alone. salvation is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast (John 3:15-16,18,36;6;47;11:25;20:31;Acts 16:31;Eph 2:8-9).
  
  

• THE CHURCH: I believe that the church may be defined in two ways: As an organism and as an organization. As an organism, the universal church is made up of all who have believed on Jesus Christ for their salvation. This group of believers in any generation of the church age is called “The body of Christ”, or “the Royal family of God”. The organization is any physical facility established by local group of believers as a place for them to assemble and worship God (Eph 5:25-27; Heb 10:25).
  
  
  
• THE HOLY SPIRIT: I believe that the Holy Spirit is a coequal and coeternal member of the Trinity that he indwells those who believe in Jesus Christ and He fills those who confess their sins to God. Through His filling ministry, the Holy spirit is able to teach us all things (John 7:37-39; 14-26; 14:16-17; Rom 5:5; I Cor 2:12; 6:19; II Cor 5:5; Eph 5:18).
  
  

• SPIRITUAL MATURITY: Spiritual maturity is that status obtained by the Believer who, through maximum knowledge of Bible Doctrine, advances to the point where he understands his place and purpose in God’s plan and functions in it. A Believer’s spiritual status however, is always advancing or retrogressing, dependent upon his attitude toward the teachings of the Bible. The Romans had a saying for it: qui non proficit deficit: he, who does not advance, falls behind (Eph 4:11-15; Col 3:1-5).
  
  

• CHRISTIAN WAY OF LIFE: New Testament scriptures command believers to execute the Christian way of life.It is phrased in different ways but all have the same objectives. Romans 6:4 speaks of the privilege of “walking in newness of life” .Gal 5:16 commands us to walk n the Holy Spirit”.Eph 5:2 is a mandate to “walk in love’.Eph 5; 8 orders us to walkas children of light”.Col 2:6 is a directive to walk in “Jesus Christ”, while 2 John 6 exhorts us to walk in obedience to His Commandments.” The Believer belongs to a spiritual dynasty founded by Jesus Christ. Our standards of conduct for the Christian way of life find their precedence in those established by Him during the incarnaton.The Christian way of life thus requires of the believer 8 major areas of function.
  
  The Filling of the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18).
  
  Development of enforced and genuine humility so that the believer might be teachable, unhindered by arrogance and an overemphasis on self. (Rom 12:3).
  
  The habitual study of the Scriptures so that the believer might cleanse his soul of human viewpoint and replace it with divine viewpoint. (Acts 17:11; Rom 12:2; 2Tim 2:15).
  
  Development of personal Love for God and spiritual self-esteem. (2 Cor 3:4-5; 1 John 5:3).
  
  From the motivation of personal Love for God, the development of Unconditional Love for all mankind: the ability to accept all people as they are (John 15:17; Gal 5:14; Lk 6:27).
  
  Development of the mental attitude necessary to face the trials and problems of life with poise, grace and stability (I Pet 1:6-7).
  
  Attainment of spiritual maturity and sharing the happiness of God (John 15:9-11; James 1:12).
  
  
  
• THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD: A priest is a member of the human race who represents man before God. Where in the Dispensations of Israel there was a specialized priesthood within the tribe of Levi, in the Church age all believers are members of a universal priesthood. Because we are taken by the Holy Spirit at salvation and placed into union with Christ, we are considered members of the Royal Family of God. Since Christ is our high priest, we are members of His Royal Priesthood. The unique prerogative of this priesthood is the option of personal acknowledgement of sins to God in a confessional prayer. Since we are our own private priest we have the obligation to learn the contents of the scriptures through Bible study. If circumstances dictate. We may observe and conduct our own private Eucharist (Heb 4:14-15; I Pet 2:5, 9; Rev 1:6).
  
  
  
• ANTI-SEMITISM: Intolerance, hatred, prejudice, Opposition and persecution of the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism is a satanic plot to eliminate Jews from history. God has promised the Jews a reigning Messiah who will rule them in their own land called Israel. In order for Christ to fulfill these divine promises to srael, Jews must survive until the Second Advent of Christ. Thus Anti-Semitism becomes a part of Satan’s desperation to circumvent Messiah’s return. Every member of the human race is warned by God Himself to avoid any form of anti-semitsm.In Gen12:2 He says,” I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you”. Consequently,I stand in righteous opposition to anyone vestige of anti-Semitic thought, comment or action. Further, anyone associated with or who engages in anti-Semitic actions will be exhorted and no friendship will be entertained with that person (Also note Zech 2:8-9; Rev 12).
  
  
• EUCHARIST: This is also called the Lord’s Supper or communion. It is the lone ritual to be performed in the church Age. Our Lord commanded us to formally observe this ceremony until His return. The instructions for performing the Eucharist are found in (I Cor 11:23-26).The bread is representative of His work on the cross where in he was the recipient of the divine imputation of our personal sins on himself and their subsequent judgment by the justice of God. The Bible does not indicate how often the Eucharist should be observed, only that it be done consistently and habitually.
  
  
  
• RAPTURE: This is the resurrection of all the church age Believers. It terminates the church age and signals the beginning of the tribulation. The rapture is an instantaneous event which occurs in two stages. First of all, the omnipotent of God the Father raises the dead in Christ by replacing their former bodies of corruption with resurrection bodies of incorruption. The Omnipotence of the Holy Spirit provides a resurrection body of believers who are alive at the Rapture, replacing their bodies of mortality with resurrection bodies of immortality. The rapture is imminent and thus may occur at any moment, However, no man knows the day or the hour (I Cor 15:53-54; 1:7-8; I Thess 4:13-18; I John 3:2-3).
  
  

• HEAVEN: This is the command centre for the eternal state and is defined in scripture as being the dwelling place of God. (Acts 1:11) tells us that Christ ascended into heaven while (IPet 3:22) says that He is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. When a person believes in Christ his citizenship changes from the Devil’s world to Heaven according to( Phil 3:20).Believers are issued resurrection bodies in eternity and their origin is said to be Heaven in (II Cor 5:1-5).Our rewards and blessings are reserved in Heaven (I Pet 1:4).At the second Advent, Jesus Christ will return from Heaven (II Cor 5:8;12:2-4;Phil 1:23).Prior to the resurrection of Christ, the souls and spirits of separated believers resided in the paradise division of Hades, known to the Jews as Abraham’s Bosom (Lk 16:220.Following the resurrection Jesus Christ escorted these saints into Heaven (Eph 4:8-10).He has assured all believers that He has prepared a place for them in Heaven (John 14:2-3).
  
  
  
• REWARDS: The believer who makes a continuous and faithful advance in his knowledge of God’s word will eventually attain spiritual maturity. All proper function in life is based on proper thnking.All proper thinking is based on bible doctrine in the soul. God has decreed that each believer who acquires maximum knowledge of his plan will be rewarded in both time and eternity (Eph 1:3).New Testament writers used various metaphors to describe to describe our rewards. Paul utilized both military and athletic awards to illustrate this (Military- Eph 6:10-17; Heb 12:1; and Athletic: Acts 20:24; I cor 9:24-27; Phil: 3:12-14; I Thess 2:19; I Thim 6:12; II Tim 2:5; 4:7-8; also note James 1:12;and II John 9).In revelation 2 and 3 john describes the recipient of rewards in eternity with the phrase,” to him whom overcomes” .The word “Overcome” in the Greek of the new testament is NIKE which means victory. One who is victorious is a winner. Winners, according to John; receive rewords which he describes in (Rev 2:7; 17; 26; 28; 3:5; 12 and 21).
  
  
  
• HADES: Hades is a complex made up of four divisions. Each division serves as a place of detention for specific groups of men and angels. As each group is processed, they are transferred to a permanent location for all eternity.
  
  Paradise or Abraham’s Bosom: A part of Hades where all the Old Testament believers went immediately after physical death. Once departed from the body, their soul and spirit went to Paradise (Luke 16:22; 23:43).No believer resided in heaven until Jesus Christ was judged for man’s sins and was resurrected. The resurrection of Jesus Christ resulted in the permanent transfer of all Believers in Paradise to heaven(Eph 4:8-10).

Torments: The residence of all unbelievers since the beginning of time. The reason a person goes to Torments, later to be condemned to the lake of fire, is because he has rejected Jesus Christ as savior (Luke 16:23).

Tartarus:The residence of certain fallen angels who became involved in assault on the genetic line of Christ in Genesis 6.This special category of fallen angels are called BENE HA ELOHIM in the Hebrew, translated “Sons of God”. They are demons who are not operational at the present time.Tartarus is mentioned in II Pet 2:4 as the place where these fallen angels reside.

The Abyss: The present place of incarceration for the demon assault army under the command of a demon general named Abaddon.This demon army will invade the earth during the tribulation Rev 9:1-12.They are released from their prison to become part of the administration of punishment to unbelievers. These events indicate a tremendous and radical change in God’s plan after the Rapture of the church occurs.

• LAKE OF FIRE: The final destination for both fallen angels and unbelieving mankind. It is both literal and eternal. It was prepared originally for Satan and his angels (Matt 25:41; Rev 20:11-15) is the key passage on the Great white throne judgment of all unbelievers. They are pulled out of the Torments division of Hades, judged for their works and cast into the lake of fire for all eternity.

• INFRALAPSARIANISM: The word “lapse” is an English word taken from the Latin “lapsus” and means “to fall”. In theology, it is used in reference to the Fall of Adam. A Laps Arian then is one who believes that Adam is a fallen being. Among those who subscribe to this Laps Arian claim, there arose a debate as to the logical order of God’s elective decrees. In other words, how did God chose to solve the problem of a fallen creation? Biblical scholarship has determined that the correct logical order of the decrees should place election after the Fall.Election,simply puts God’s choice of those who will have eternal life and those who will not. The Prefix: infra-“means” under”, or,”below”.Literally, then Infralapsarian means “under the lapse”. In other words, when the infralapsarian lists the decrees of God, election is listed under, or after, the Fall of Adam.Thus,the Infralapsarian order of the elective decrees are as follows:
  
  “The decree to create mankind”
  PRINCIPLE: You cannot elect what doesn’t exist.
  
  “The decree to permit the fall.”
  PRINCIPLE: Condemnation must precede salvation.
  
  “The decree to provide salvation for all mankind”.
  PRINCIPLE: the doctrine of unlimited atonement.
  
  “The decree to elect those who believe in Christ and leave in just condemnation all who do not believe.”
  PRINCIPLE: God provides all men free will to accept or reject His grace offer of salvation through faith alone in Christ alone.
  
  “The decree to apply salvation to those who believe in Christ”.
  PRINCIPLE: Each individual must first choose God’s plan of salvation after which God decrees to elect that person to eternal life in His heaven.
  
  
  “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved”
  
  It is hoped that this brief presentation of the theology will serve as an inspiration for those who hear it to pursue a comprehensive understanding of Jesus Christ, in Whom, according to Colossians 2:3,are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, It is hoped that these statements of our beliefs will at least encourage recognition of the unlimited depth of Biblical reelation.May a few be challenged to place knowledge of the word of God as top priority in their lives.Theres is a Latin proverb that is pertinent,vincit Omnia Veritas:”Doctrine Conquers All.Finally,and most importantly, may these lessons serve to define, illuminate and magnify our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, bringing both honor and glory to His Name.AMEN!
