Perilous Times

Self-idolisation, depression, and self-murder will become commonplace as the Final Day approaches. Christians are warned to be ready, and told how to deal with it, 2 Tim. 3:1-9 KJV;

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

A Christian Perspective on Halloween

West Coast ‘witches‘ and pretend Pagans attempt to convince you that Halloween is innocent fun, and even claim it has a Christian origin. ‘What harm is there in dressing up as witches and enjoying a party?’ they ask.

Smith Wigglesworth was born of humble circumstances in 1859 at the hamlet of Menston, Yorkshire, England, during the reign of Queen Victoria.

He grew up as a farm labourer, picking turnips whilst a boy, and only learned to read and write after reaching adulthood. His Grandmother led him to Christ in a Primitive Methodist fellowship when he was eight years old. Primitive Methodists were noted for their free, loud, and lively worship.

And The End of The World

What’s Going On Here?

Q: Female circumcision is in the news a lot today described as female genital mutilation, or FGM, why is that? Do Muslims circumcise like Jews? I know they practise male circumcision, but do they really circumcise baby girls?

Why it’s UNTO and NOT to

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Why the PCE KJV?

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Why Suicide is a short-cut to Hell

Q: Why do you say that those who commit suicide are self-murderers? Neil

A: Because that is the truth about suicide.

Intentionally killing yourself has always been termed self-murder, the word “suicide” only became fashionable since the 18th. century.

God came and said

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Holy Bible, Jn. 3:5 KJV

The speaker is Almighty God in the Flesh, the LORD Jesus Christ. Since He is the Judge of the living and the dead, the One to whom each of us must give account, it is vital we attend to His word, believe it, and obey it.

Let’s listen to The LORD Jesus Christ, Mth. 7:21-29 KJV;

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Only Unity Almighty God Approves…

Is being ONE with HIM through heart-faith in the Precious Blood of Christ the LORD.

Holy Bible, 1 Timothy 2:5-6 KJV;

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Let’s Read Father’s Will

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

John 17:21-23 KJV

Not on Our Life!

Q: What do you make of Pope Francis appealing to Evangelicals and Pentecostals to join the Ecumenical Movement?

A: You refer to the alarming Kenneth Copeland convention of 2014, where Anglican Episcoplaian Tony Palmer (since deceased) spoke of meeting Pope Francis informally, and the Pope sent him to the convention with a video message embracing “Charismatic” Catholics, indicating that they were “the future of the Roman Catholic church”, and encouraging unity with evangelical, charismatic, and pentecostal leaders.

How to Be Confident and Secure

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being NOW justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 5:8-10 KJV

Following The Compassion of Christ

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Luke 10:25-37 KJV

Even if a thousand unbelieving preachers teach it may not be God’s will to heal you, remember God’s Healing Covenant, it includes you.

I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Holy Bible, Exodus 15:26 KJV

When you have faith in God’s promises, you can be healed and remain healthy.

Why Mercy is Eternal

To hammer home the basic bible truth that our Creator’s mercy endures for ever, He repeats it 26 times in Psalm 136 alone, Ps. 136:1-26 KJV;

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Trying to Believe

Q: I’ve read Healing from Christ, and prayed for my healing, but when I try to believe and act on my faith, I cannot do what I’m trying to. Can you help me?

A: This occurs when the Gospel comes as a challenge, instead of a blessing, to some people.

CDC Buried This News At Thanksgiving

The American Centre for Disease Control (CDC) delayed until after the US mid-term elections before publishing data that shows more vaccinated people are dying from covid than unvaccinated people.
