Christian Confidence

    © 22 Colin Melbourne

    Peculiar People

    Q: What makes the most difference between Spirit-filled believers, why are some exceptional?

    A: Wonderful question, keep going that way, and the Lord will be able to use you more and more.

    Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

    Titus 2:13-14 KJV

    Without doubt, the most exceptional believer England has produced in modern times was Smith Wigglesworth, who teaches us the key; Have Confidence in Christ. He preached this message of August 1914, just seven years after he was filled with the Holy Ghost.

    Here’s a taster to encourage you to get the full transcript and absorb this jewel of truth, which begins;

    The Confidence that we have in Him:

    In 1 John 5:14-15, I read a very wonderful word.

    And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

    It is necessary that we find our bearings in this Word.

    The Witness

      © 19 Colin Melbourne

      He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

      1 Jn 5:10 KJV

      Have You Got It?

      Nobody can argue with the Living Word: The LORD Jesus Christ.

      Many have tried: All have failed to prove Him wrong, and instead proved themselves liars.

      The written word of God declares a solemn fact, 1 Jn 5:10 KJV;

      He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself.

      That Ye May Know

      How to Forgive & Be Happy

        © 11 Colin Melbourne

        Forgiveness of Sins

        Let’s bathe ourselves in God’s eternal words from Matthew 18:21-35 KJV;

        Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

        Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

        Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

        The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

        Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

        But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

        And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

        And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

        So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

        Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

        And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

        So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

        Truth: Better than Fads

          © 14 Colin Melbourne

          Fads and Fashions

          Fads don’t work, don’t last, and don’t satisfy.

          They come and go like clothes fashions and toy crazes.

          Fancies for the fickle, bored, and vacant.

          They lose attraction once you have the Glory inside: The personal revelation of the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ.

          Fads cannot flourish where believers’ attention is on Him.

          What on Earth is this?

          Can you imagine Paul, John and Peter, reacting to the fads slithering their way into fellowships today?

          They’d shake their heads, sigh in exasperation, go back to the beginning, and point people to what Jesus has accomplished for believers.

          Intercession of The Spirit

            © 07 Colin Melbourne

            Crying in the Spirit

            Q: When I pray, that is really pray, I sob out loud, and cannot control it. I’m not sure why I’m crying, but almost feel an overwhelming sadness and heartache. Do you know why this happens? Donna

            A: Couple of reasons people do this.

            Mainly, it is simply the Holy Spirit filling, interceding, and enabling, you to pray for a particular situation or person. When you feel what a person is suffering, or sense what they are going through, it helps you pray more effectively, with genuine compassion. It may be in words, tongues, or groans. (Ro. 8:26-27) Christ often prayed with great emotion (Lk. 22:44).

            The Harmony of Obedience and Faith

              © 24 Colin Melbourne

              We show what we believe by what we do

              Q: I’m curious, what’s your opinion of the tension between obedience and faith, because I notice you say that we only really believe as far as we obey, which sounds like legalism?

              A: Thank you for the point you raise, which gives me opportunity to clarify.

              My opinion is the same as Father’s written word and Spirit.

              The Obedience that Saves Sinners

              Obedience is essential when your aim is to please The LORD of Glory, as the Prophet Samuel, by the Holy Ghost, reminded King Saul, 1 Sam. 15:22 KJV;

              And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

              And under our far better covenant (Heb. 8:6 KJV), the first essential act of obedience is to Repent of Unbelief in the LORD Jesus Christ.

              Why?

              China’s Miracle Revival

                © 01 Colin Melbourne

                Miracles prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is alive and Lord of Heaven and Earth.

                Sichuan Paralytic Healed

                In 1989 the Lord sent two South Chinese farm girls to Sichuan to proclaim the Gospel. The messengers shared Jesus with everyone they met on their travels. Their zeal and anointing brought great conviction, and almost everyone who heard them preach accepted Christ as Saviour. Often they would lead thirty or more people a day to Christ, then baptise them. The Lord confirmed their preaching with numerous healing miracles.

                The evangelists visited Mr. Yang, who’d been paralysed for three years, and had spent much money on doctors without improving at all. The lady evangelists told him,

                “If you believe, not only will you be healed, but you can enter Heaven and have eternal joy.”

                They laid hands on Mr. Yang, but due to his unbelief, nothing happened. Onlookers shook their heads, and scoffed. What would you have done, concluded it wasn’t God’s will to heal the man? That’s a serious error. It is always God’s will to heal those who come to Him believing. And these Spirit-led believers knew that Gospel fact. Undeterred, the young women prayed and fasted for four days. Returning to old Yang, they laid hands on him, and this time they pulled him off his bed of paralysis, and commanded him to walk in Jesus’ Name, and to praise the Lord.

                Bible Inerrancy

                  © 20 Colin Melbourne

                  Errors in Your Bible?

                  Inerrant: Without error, fixed, not erring

                  Wonderful assurance is given to those who dare to believe, and declare, the absolute fact that Jesus is LORD. They know that they are one with Him, at peace, basking in His love, assured of their perfect eternal redemption, entirely by the grace of God.

                  Such believers enjoy the certainty that Jesus of Nazareth, was, and remains; The Christ: The one and only perfect manifestation of Almighty God in human flesh. Col. 2:9 KJV;

                  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

                  Contemplate that absolute truth, and it will hold you in breathless awe.

                    Satan’s Synagogue

                    Is The LORD Jesus Christ a Zionist?

                    Q: Should Christians be supporting, and defending, Israel when it’s obvious they are committing genocide against Palestinians?

                    A: The religious leaders and secular state of Israel today are demonic tools of Satan, just as they were when Christ came to redeem us from sin.

                    The Pharisees and Sadducees of the Sanhedrin plotted the Messiah’s crucifixion and death, agitating vociferously for the Roman invaders to crucify him, on behalf of the Jewish people.

                    The ascended LORD Jesus Christ called them Satan’s Synagogue, Rev. 3:9 KJV;

                    Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

                    We love the LORD’s straight-talk.

                    Today’s crowd would label even the King of The Jews antisemitic, and be sure they’ll accuse you for daring to criticise the State of Israel and Judaism.

                    But Judaism, and the Likud coalition, are no less antiChrist today.

                    Armageddon is Christ v World : Not Israel v Arab

                      © 23 Colin Melbourne

                      Christ v Sodom and Gomorrah II

                      Q: Could the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel trigger Armageddon, and Christ’s return?

                      A: It certainly brings The Second Coming closer, though alert Christians don’t have their eyes on the world’s media, but on Jesus The LORD, who’s made us ready for The Rapture and Heaven, through His precious Blood, shed for the sins of mankind.

                      God’s written word, The Holy Bible KJV, shows us that the Rapture of born again believers precedes Armageddon by seven years, as explained here The END? and here “Is Luke 21:34 referring to The Rapture?”,

                      It’s important to understand that real Christians don’t follow an ideology, philosophy, or religion, whatever label it claims for itself; zionism, Christian-zionism, Arab emancipation, muslim liberation, freedom and equality, humanitarianism etc.

                      Genuine Christians follow the Living Word of God, in spirit and in Truth: The LORD Jesus Christ.
