The Sufficiency of Christ

Hello and thank you for being here. I have some prayer request without giving out their names, there are many who are being persecuted for their faith and their needs have to be met just to sustain life. I ask that you, from your heart to pray for these people and ask God what He would have you to do, The Lord is able to make all Grace abound towards us, if we pray to that end.

Many people living here in the States have no idea what is happening to Christians in other countries, it is so bad they live in bombed out abandoned buildings with their children hiding from (people who want to kill them for their faith). Pray for them won't you? Just wherever you are right now pray from your heart for these people, they need help.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ.

(There is no water baptism in the verse, it is the baptism of death, Christ died for us.) (When He died your sins were placed on Him and God cut away the body of the sins of the flesh, which tells me you don't have any sins if you place your faith and trust in what Christ did for you at Calvary. I know there are people that are going to get upset about this but it should be the greatest news you've ever heard, it is for me. God performed an operation and ALL your sins were placed on Christ and when God turned His back on Christ while he hang on the cross, all your sins were done away with. Matters not what your preacher or priest tells you, this is the Word of God I am showing you here today. Why Colossians, because as I wrote in the beginning, lest any man spoil you, rob you of what is rightfully yours, through philosophy and vain deceit. It matters not if it is a preacher or a priest or whomever they might be.

The Word of God needs to be preached in this world without sugarcoating it and it's time you learned that you are free, that's why Christ died for you, you could not save yourself, the Law cannot save you and since you are in a sinful body what is your hope? Outside of believing that Christ was the Virgin born Son of Almighty God and that he lived a sinless life and took your place on a cross, died and is risen again having done away with all your sins, without that...you have no hope; not in your religion, your church or just believing in "a" god out there somewhere and thinking that because you think your an alright person, how can God send you to hell.

He can and will send you straight to hell if you reject the only means of salvation available to you today and it's not the Great Commission. It is by grace only and not of works. If you are saved then work all you want, you will be rewarded for it but if you are not saved all the works you can do in a lifetime are meaningless. I am sorry I have to put it out there like that but time is growing shorter everyday and soon this Grace period we live in will end, I know a lot of people don't believe that, but a lot of people don't believe the Bible either.

In short it doesn't matter what you think, it is what you believe that counts, your problem today is not your sins, they were taken care of at Calvary, the problem is unbelief.

I so pray for each of you, I really do. I try my best to write these messages to keep them brief and help you to understand quite simply, you need a Savior, if you have not trusted Christ as your Lord and Savior then I beg you don't leave this site until you are sure and if you are not sure, write me.

It has been that I have tried to keep this as simple as I know how; I know a lot of people translate so I try to put salvation and witnessing into every message. I have no other reason to do this other than my compassion for you and that even includes people who don't like me. People didn't like Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, etc. But look, someone has to put the Word out, I have compassion on every living being and I don't want to see any go to hell. I have to give an account someday for what I am writing to you and if you are cast into hell because I sugarcoated a message or two then I will have to bear that guilt throughout eternity. God cannot pardon the condemned, if they reject His Son, they are finished.

I would like to ask for all members to pray for a revival to break out in this Country and spread throughout the World, there are so many people to be saved, so many; but with your help and all of us praying for the same thing I believe it is possible to see this come to pass and you will be part of it. Can you spare a few minutes a day praying for the change to take place in this Country? Have you any love for your brothers and sisters no matter where they are from? I ask God to open your hearts and let you look through the eyes of the Holy Spirit and see the carefree lives people are going about daily. I pray this change and change soon.

In closing, I thank you all for enduring some of my messages, I am interested in 2 things,, exalting the Lord Jesus Christ and bringing in any one who is lost. I thank you for being here and I pray for you all in the weeks to come.
