The forsaken Link

12

One of the greatest tragedies of our last days is the forsaken link between the Church and her true Savior, which  is our complete oneness with Him through His finished work of the cross. A fierce enemy called the apostate church or the great harlot has been replaced by the principal of the true bride. This foreign concept creeping in has introduced herself as the Church, yet in the close examination it is not the bride in any way, form or shape. It is just a counterfeit full of confusion called the Babylon or the great harlot. The true meaning of our faith is a complete reliance on Christ our Bridegroom in all aspects of our wilderness walk, including sustenance and strength. Any ...Read More...

Living the Abundant Life is one of the most misunderstood Concepts of the entire new Covenant

ko99

The Christian aspect of life in the covenant of grace is one of the most difficult concepts to be understood by the majority. We read and study the word of God and we listen to too many speakers who are very famous preachers, yet this most important aspect of our faith is seldom neglected. What did John mean when in chapter 10 of His gospel he mentioned What Jesus said “I have come that you may have life and that is more abundantly”? Many carnal Christians take this verse out of context in translating it as a license to continue living an unrestrained lifestyle after the flesh. Is that what John meant? Jesus in many occasions spoke of a state of freedom from cares of this life and ...Read More...

An Amazing grace in the midst of God’s sovereign act of Judgment

noahs_ark_small

The Bible speaks of the first judgment of God over the rebellion of the first world, and in it God demonstrates His unfathomable act of grace called the favor of the Lord on one man Noah. In the book of Genesis or (The first beginnings), the Lord speaks of His displeasure with the wickedness of that world and How all intention of sons of men became evil. However in the midst of it He had a vessel who stayed in favor with the Lord and that not according to works, since they came as an evidence of faith later. A pure act of grace. In His anger His wrath spared one man and His entire family from the world wide judgment to come. God speaking to Noah poured out His heart to him and His intent ...Read More...

morsel

Marriage in the Bible is sacred, set-apart, holy, and eternal and is a type or allegory of the intense relationship that should exist between Yahweh (our Heavenly Father) and the people of Israel, and now between Yah’shua ( Yeshua) the Messiah (Jesus Christ) and the Messianic Community (the Church, of the New Covenant Israel) who are the present redeemed until all the promised fullness of national Israel too turn to their Master and Husband through the New Covenant made through the Messiah in these final days and by this the scripture in Romans 11 fully would be fulfilled , that says… and then after the number of the gentiles are fulfilled all Israel  would be saved. ...Read More...

The Depth of His Height

fbs

The Depth of His Height A  forsaken imperative today Many have come to understand a modern Christianity that is a fabricated counterfeit of the original truth. The Holy Scripture always shows us the excellent way in obeying the divine truth through grace given to us by the spiritual  rebirth available in trusting in Christ. God’s true servants were always ready to accept God’s will over their own, since they’ve been given the privilege of the understanding of the precedence  and excellence of  God’s will over their own. In trusting the divine foreknowledge and goodness of God they were committing themselves fully through surrender in faith to the sovereign authority ...Read More...
