He Abides in You

The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 Jn. 2:27 KJV

So You Can Abide in Him

Once you have been born again, Father wants you to learn how to walk with Him by simply; listening, observing, embracing, and doing what the LORD is teaching you.

How does He teach?

Through His Spirit’s leading in your spirit, which always complies perfectly with His New Testament word, of the Holy Bible (the KJV in English).

In addition, He can also use a Spirit-led preacher, or pastor, as far as they stay in accord with Him, but this is not His primary method of teaching His children.

If you rely on anyone other than the LORD to teach you, you’ll stray from Perfection.

The Devil’s Music

Q: I heard long ago about subliminal messages in Rock and Roll, especially in “Guns n’Roses”, and heavy-metal music. Can you comment on this, and about “Christian rock”? Osvaldo

A: Since the Sixties, several groups have admitted deliberately inserting subliminal sinful messages in their recordings; others did it tongue-in-cheek, or to gain notoriety.

People have also claimed to have found ungodly messages when some songs are played backwards. It’s called “back-masking”. Most of these “back-masked messages” are probably coincidence; like Muslims getting excited when they cut open a marrow, and perceive a pattern of seeds spelling out Allah, or Mohammed. That’s regular front-page news in Muslim nations. In China they prefer photographs of two-headed newts, and six-legged piglets.

The Cost of Abortion

Over the years we’ve received many enquries from women suffering from the severe spiritual, and psychological consequences of abortion, and from pregnant teenagers in a life-defining dilemma.

We answer them privately and scripturally; but as an illustration to help others, here’s the types of questions we receive, with typical answers;

Questions

• Can a baby go to Heaven?
• What happens to babies that die?
• My boyfriend wants me to get rid of this pregnancy, he said he’ll drop me if I don’t…
• I’ve had three abortions, will God forgive me?
• Can a Christian have an abortion?
• Why do Christians condemn abortion?
• It’s not a baby until it’s born, isn’t it?
• What about junkies, rape victims, and HIV?
• If I have an abortion will God understand and forgive me?
• We don’t have the money to raise another child…
• Is it okay to use the ‘morning after’ pill if you have unprotected sex?
• Is using contraception a sin?
• Is coitus interruptus a sin?
• Is Vasectomy sin?
• Our contraceptive failed, so is it God’s will we have this baby?
• If a foetus is shown to have a serious inherited or developmental defect, such as Down’s syndrome, or spina-bifida surely it is better to abort it?

What God Wants of You

Once you have been born again, and filled with the Holy Spirit, God wants you to grow rapidly into the likeness of the LORD Jesus Christ.

He wants you to walk on Earth as He walked; in His Love, mercy, grace, and power, destroying the Devil’s works by faith in God’s word.

This happens continuously when a believer stays in step with the Holy Spirit.

There’s no striving or strain; the Spirit of God does the work, not our strength or power.

The fruit of walking in fellowship with the Almighty grows effortlessly.

It is spiritual fruit that tastes beautiful to everyone.

Q: Is Corona virus a punishment from God, like the plagues of Egypt in the Bible?

A: I suspect the legalists will seize the opportunity to draw that conclusion, but not exactly; it is another of the self-inflicted judgments, and curses, Adam’s progeny have brought on themselves, by persistent rebellion against The Truth.

In the same way that the emergence of HIV Aids, in the 1980’s, was emphasised by the legalist bandwagon to be; “God’s judgment on perverts and the sexually immoral”.

Do I Need Vaccine?

Q: Should believers have the Covid vaccination, and do you think it is the Mark of The Beast?

God’s Vaccine Works

A: Firstly, on vaccination; genuine believers are already immunised against all diseases, according to the Holy Bible, that’s why we have no fear of worldly plagues during these tumultuous Final Days before the LORD appears.

Recall, even under the Old Covenant believers who set their love on God’s Word were guaranteed immunity, provision, and deliverance from all harm.

Doubters opened themselves up to the curses of sin, but those who followed God’s word were protected. Read, for example, Deuteronomy chapter 28 in the Holy Ghost and you see it plainly. For many more scriptural proofs, you may study these articles on Biblical Healing.

Read Psalms 91 in the Holy Ghost, embrace God’s word, and rejoice that born again Spirit-filled believers today are under a better Covenant with better promises.

Overcoming Grief

Practical scriptural advice on how to end your grieving, overcome heartache, depression, and emotional pain.

Can’t Stop Grieving

Q: I am a born again, Spirit filled Christian, but I am having a great deal of trouble getting over the death of my husband. It has been eleven months, and I have such terrible days still, just feeling so hopeless and lost. I pray in the Spirit and seek God, but I seem to not be able to stir up my joy anymore. Can you please give me some advice as I feel like my three beautiful children have not only lost their Daddy, but also their joy-filled Mom. Debbie

You’re Not Alone

A: It is familiar territory for countless Christians down the ages, and around the world today. You are not alone Debbie, and I’m sure you are doing a great job. If you could just click your fingers, and continue as though the death of your husband was of no effect, it would prove you didn’t love him. The fact that you cannot do so, shows your love is real, and it will never fail. Take heart from that; Father does.

Looking Unto Jesus

I agree with you, that after eleven months grieving, you ought to be making more progress, and developing as a mature Christian through the experience. That is God’s plan.

Some thoughts come to mind; please decide if they are appropriate to you.
