DO YOU KNOW GOD?
The deepest relationship that a human being can have is a relationship with Jesus and knowing
Him personally. God is our Heavenly Father and He loves you so much that He sacrificed His only begotten son Jesus for you.
John 3: 16 - 17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Salvation is by grace through faith based upon the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus took upon Himself the sins of all mankind in His death on the cross, and His resurrection from the grave provides salvation to all who believe. His resurrection gives us eternal life. All who receive the Lord Jesus Christ through faith become the children of God.
Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
הרומים 10:9-10
אם אתה בפיך ישוע האדון ותאמין בלבבך שאלוהים הקים אותו מן המתים, אתה יישמרו. עבור עם לב אחד מאמין אל
הצדק, ועם וידוי הפה
עשוי אל הישועה

In the book of Luke Jesus said to his disciples that He saw satan fall as lightning. This proves that He was with the father before the world was created.
Luke 10:17-18
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
For the Muslims, Unbelievers & Atheists. You might ask - How do I know that Jesus is really God? Simple - When Jesus was praying in the book of John Chapter 17 He said to the father in verse five that HE WAS WITH THE FATHER BEFORE THE WORLD WAS IN EXISTENCE.
John 17: 1-5
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given Him authority over all flesh,to give eternal life to all whom you have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your own presence with the glory that I had withYou before the world existed. The book of Acts tells us that about the death and resurrection and that there is only one name under Heaven by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:10 – 12
let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
The two books of Timothy also acknowledges that Jesus Christ is God.
1 Timothy 2: 3 - 6
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 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
1 Timothy 3: 16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
2 Timothy 2: 8
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel.
There is only one way to receive eternal life and it is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Religion is false hope as well as idolatry. Going to church cannot make you a better neither can it give you eternal life. The only way to have a personal relationship with Jesus and have eternal life is by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Say this simple prayer to receive Jesus into your heart. This is the most important prayer you will ever pray.
Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and you rose from the dead. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. I ask You to forgive me for all my sins and I thank You that You died on the cross for my sins. I also forgive everyone who sinned against me and I receive the gift of eternal life that You have for me. Teach me Your ways and how to live for you.
Thank you Jesus. Amen

JOHN 3:8
The Wind Blows where it wishes and you Hear the Sound of it but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is Born of the Spirit.
JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
ANOINTED FOR TOUGH TIMES
THE GIBBORIM
ANOINTED FOR TOUGH TIMES
The Holy Spirit is showing me something powerful this week. The book of Ecclesiastes chapter three says: To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. The scripture goes on to say that there is a time for war and a time for peace. As Covenant children of God we should not always be in warfare mode but as warriors we should never let our guard down. In the book of Nehemiah Chapter 4 the laborers who built the wall worked on the construction with one hand and held a weapon in their other hand. Every one of them had his sword girded at his side at all times as he built. The book of Ephesians says that we have the full armor of God and the sword of the Spirit (The Word of God) is part of our armor.
The Lord is looking for men and women who are tenacious in faith and ready to change the world. He is looking for those who are strong and very courageous. They are not mere men and women but they carry the Spirit of God on the inside. Jesus is searching for warriors and giving them a blueprint and a battle plan. They understand that they are not fighting against flesh and blood, and they recognize that they are in a spiritual battle. They discern the spiritual atmosphere around them at all times.
Jesus is increasing the anointing on our lives because tougher times requires a greater anointing. If you want to be used by God to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leaper, set the captives free, cast out demons and be used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit then you have to learn how to fight the lions, the bears and the giants. Big battles require strong warriors. When you know your authority, you will defeat them every time.
The book of 2 Samuel 23:8-39 speaks of Davids mighty men who are also known as the Gibborim in the Hebrew translation. The Word Gibborim means champion, mighty, warrior, strong, and valiant. What you may not know is that David not only killed a lion, a bear and a giant but he raised up and trained warriors to do the same.
1 Chronicles 12 says that their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.
One of his men Dodai stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and stuck to the sword. Another went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. Abishai slew the Philistine giant Ishbi-benob who threatened David's life. He withstood 300 men, and slew them with his own spear. Benaiah killed an Egyptian giant and a lion. Jonathan was also a lion slayer. Sibbecai slew the giant Saph in the battle of Gob. There were thirty seven men who were all victorious over every one of their enemies.
Many of you are going to defeat your enemy with the same weapon that he tried to use against you. The Lord is training your hands for war and your fingers for battle. He will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. As the rapacious (ravenous) fowls are coming down on your sacrifices, you will drive them away in the same way that Abraham did. Never let your guard down, but know that the weapons of your warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
1 Chronicles 12:8
Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.
Nehemiah 4:17-18
Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.
2 Corinthians 10:4
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
