So many people say they have accepted Jesus as their Savior, but they have not allowed Him to be Lord in their life. They “KNOW ABOUT HIM” more than they actually “KNOW HIM PERSONALLY.” That personal intimate Father/child relationship is what God longs for. God does not want us to get born again just for fire insurance then run off and play with Satan and the world the rest of our lives. We can’t really KNOW GOD, unless we spend time with Him. Talking to Him and allowing Him to talk to us. We read our bible and discipline ourselves to do whatever it says because our bible is also God speaking to us. IF YOU REALLY “KNOW GOD” and do not keep His commandments and do whatever HE SAYS, you DO NOT really KNOW HIM.
1 John 2:4, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
The deception that sooo many people have, even confessing Christians, is that they excuse or justify their sins by saying its ok because God loves them anyway. THAT IS TRUE. GOD NEVER STOPS LOVING US. God even loves the most vile sinner as much as HE LOVES JESUS. The problem is that WE DON’T LOVE HIM THE WAY WE SHOULD. We don’t love, honor and respect God by living the way HE SAYS IS RIGHT. Because WE DON’T LOVE GOD, He has no other choice but to allow the sinners and rebellious to go to Hell. He will allow us to suffer the consequence of our sinful behavior.
When we really get to KNOW GOD, we discipline ourselves to do whatever HE SAYS. When we engage in that self discipline, we prove OUR LOVE FOR GOD and open the door for God to live through us.
John 14:21-24 Living Bible, “The one who obeys me is the one who loves me; and because he loves me, my Father will love him; and I will too, and I will reveal myself to him.” Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but his other disciple with that name) said to him, “Sir, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us disciples and not to the world at large?” Jesus replied, “Because I will only reveal myself to those who love me and obey me. The Father will love them too, and we will come to them and live with them. Anyone who doesn’t obey me doesn’t love me. And remember, I am not making up this answer to your question! It is the answer given by the Father who sent me.
Allowing God to totally possess and over power you with His love, is the experience you need to actually KNOW HIM. Without this experience of God’s love, you can only know about Him.
God is love. When He comes to live inside our heart and body, it changes us. Our bodies become the temple and house of God. Our bodies are FILLED WITH GOD, when we are born again. We have been introduced to genuine pure love and that relationship and experience literally changes who you are inside and out. You become a new person that is kind, forgiving, loving, generous and compassionate toward others. You feel different inside. You are just a nicer calmer person and the people around you can actually see the difference in your life.
Because GOD IS LOVE, when we understand and experience true biblical love we are in fact experiencing God Himself. LOVE IS GOD’S NAME AND WHO HE IS.
The deception that people are under today is that they confuse the world’s definition of love with the biblical definition of love. Then when we think of God we have a twisted view of who He is because we are looking at life through the world’s cloudy perception of love. That unbiblical definition of God and Godly love keeps us trapped in a spirit of deception and lies and influences our behavior to live OPPOSITE of what God truly is and what God wants us to be.
God’s love is spiritual and it is meant to be possessed and given away to those around us. YOU CAN NOT GIVE AWAY SOMETHING YOU DON’T HAVE. Therefore if you only possess the world’s idea and deceptive level of love thats all you can give.
God’s love possesses us and actually changes who we are to be more like Him. Then when we interact with people in our lives we can’t help but share that Godly love with them. That is how God expects us to live. God expects us to receive HIS SPIRIT OF LOVE INSIDE then spend the rest of our lives sharing it with those around us until the whole earth is possessed by the true spirit of God like we were originally created to do.
God created us to possess HIS LOVE INSIDE. We need Him and His love as much as water, air and food to live a healthy whole life that we were created to live. Without Him we search to fill that void inside that never satisfies until we accept Him into our lives to occupy that space that He created us to live.
God’s true love inside of us is expressed through our words actions behavior and attitude. His love shows us how to live among the unlovely in a calm and peaceful manner. GOD’S TRUE LOVE UNITES AND HEALS. It never divides and kills.
With God’s true spirit of biblical love inside we manage our lives and rule this world. This is the atmosphere of the Kingdom of God. We love our spouses, children, family and friends from this foundation. We run our businesses elect our political leaders and establish our law and constitution from this place of true biblical love. When we are all living breathing and thinking from this same point of origin, there is unity in spirit and a peaceful loving generous atmosphere where God Himself is a part of everything we say do and think. We are living our lives LIKE GOD, as His children. We aim to be just like our Father. We are not fighting arguing deceiving hurting and destroying one another. We stop sinful, perverse, hateful behavior. We don’t allow it in our families and communities. When we discipline ourselves to live this way we are living like it is in Heaven. God’s Kingdom has rested upon us where there is love, peace, joy, happiness, unity and life.
You must understand WHO you were created for and WHY you were created. You must understand that God’s love is what completes us and satisfies us. Its His love that deposits true deep meaning and joy into our spirits and soul that gives us joy unspeakable. Without the true Spirit of God inside of us we are just empty vessels going through the motions in life and then going to hell.
God wants us to have Him and His true love. He is not holding Himself back from us. He just wants us to “choose Him” the same way He has chosen us. He wants to be devoted to Him now and throughout eternity OF OUR OWN FREE WILL. God did not create us to be robots programmed to obey whether we like it or not. God wants us to choose Him and follow Him because we want to and because we love Him as much as He loves us.
You can not love someone you don’t truly know. You can’t love someone you only know about. You must have an intimate heart to heart connection and relationship with them first. Thats what Jesus does for us. Jesus makes our heart pure and holy to receive God so we can get to KNOW GOD.
That is why when Adam sinned and pushed God away, God made a plan to be able to come back to us so we could share our lives with Him.
God giving His Son, Jesus Christ, as our blood sacrifice that is needed to become a child of God and a member of the royal family, is God’s ultimate gift of love to us.
John 3:16-17, ‘For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
After we accept that wonderful gracious gift, God adopts us into His family, we are automatically KNOWN BY GOD. He records us into His Lambs book of Life and adds us to His family tree forever.
Now it is our responsibility to get to know God. Anyone can learn about God. Anyone can take God’s list of rules and try to conform to them. It is only the privilege of HIS CHILDREN who have been given the gift of KNOWING HIM.
I don’t want to confuse anyone by saying its by God’s gift of grace and by His Spirit inside of us that we are able to KNOW GOD, KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG, and have the POWER TO DO WHATEVER HE SAYS. Just keeping God’s laws does not make us KNOW GOD. But KNOWING GOD makes us keep His commandments and love people.
Our love for God is not PROVEN until we gladly do the right thing when no one is watching and making us do the right thing. When we have a choice and opportunity to do whatever WE FEEL, but we follow God’s will in stead. You prove your love for God when you have a chance to do opposite from what God says and get away with it, but you don’t. GOD IS WATCHING YOU CLOSELY WHEN YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO DISOBEY GOD BUT YOU DON’T BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD TOO MUCH TO DISHONOR AND DISRESPECT HIM.
When we KNOW GOD AND HIS LOVE, no one has to monitor our behavior and make us do the right things in life. We have a personal relationship with our invisible God and Father. The Holy Spirit of GOD inside of us will lead and guide us. The Holy Spirit of God inside of us will reveal truth and wisdom to us as we need it. God will tell us what He expects from us and then give us the freedom to do it or reject it.
We are unable to actually “know God” until after we accept Jesus as Savior and the Holy Spirit of God comes to live inside of our bodies. But even then we have to begin to acknowledge Him and spend time talking to Him before we can get to KNOW HIM.
Jesus Christ is the blood sacrifice we need to be able to enter into the presence of God and become adopted into the family of God. For us, that is the easy part. That was a free gift of God’s grace that He willingly gives to everyone who asks. We don’t have to earn it or do anything for it. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we now have a place reserved for us one day in Heaven. More importantly, we actually have the Spirit of God living inside of our bodies and fused to our spirit and soul.
But we are alive right now on Earth. We don’t get saved and then go straight to Heaven. We have a life to live here and now. We have an assignment and a purpose to fulfill for the Kingdom of God here on Earth after we become a member of God’s family. The Holy Spirit of God inside of us will now lead and guide you in your life journey to fulfill a specific assignment that is a vital piece of God’s global mission. When you KNOW GOD and allow the Holy Spirit of God to lead you, your purpose and assignment will fit perfectly into God’s global mission and goal.
Living your life guided by pure agape love, proves your relationship with God, proves your maturity, and keeps you in God’s will as you journey through your life.
1 Corinthians 13 is the Godly biblical description “in words” how we should be living and loving God, ourselves, and the people we are in relationship and association with. LOVE HAS ACTION. LOVE DOES SOMETHING. But you can not put the cart before the horse. When you actually possess this true Godly biblical spirit of love, your actions will automatically follow. Your desires will be changed. So you can know the right thing to do but until you actually put the love to action and DO WHAT IT SAYS, then you just know about love. When you activate love through your actions, you learn and experience God and true love.
1 Corinthians 13…….If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would only be making noise. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. 3 If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others, it would be of no value whatever. Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, 5 never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. 6 It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. 7 If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever. Someday prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge—these gifts will disappear. 9 Now we know so little, even with our special gifts, and the preaching of those most gifted is still so poor. 10 But when we have been made perfect and complete, then the need for these inadequate special gifts will come to an end, and they will disappear. It’s like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I became a man my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish things. 12 In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at his reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see him in his completeness, face-to-face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now. There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
As you can see God’s definition of true love is different than the worlds definition. The world relates sex with love. The world says love has no boundaries in action and behavior. The world thinks if you want it take it, if it feels good do it. The world pushes down the moral standard of Godly biblical love and tries to make it a physical or material experience.
God loves us without physical contact or sexual lust involved. God’s love requires sincere goodness, healing, unselfish generosity. God’s love requires us to hold ourselves individually accountable and responsible for the lives we live and for the way we treat other people. God’s love requires us to be disciplined, mature and controlled in our emotions.
God’s love does not force us to be good, love Him and love people. The Holy Spirit of God’s love inside of us MAKES US WANT TO BE GOOD AND LOVE GOD AND LOVE PEOPLE. We actually long for it and look for ways to express that love inside of us. God’s love is easy and free.
There is none “good” but God. Without God you are not truly good and therefore can not act and live good. God says, it’s when you discipline yourself to live and act LIKE HIM thats when we know we belong to Him. Your life will produce the fruit of who you really are inside.
Matthew 7:15-27 Living Bible, “Beware of false teachers who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are wolves and will tear you apart. 16 You can detect them by the way they act, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit. You need never confuse grapevines with thorn bushes or figs with thistles. 17 Different kinds of fruit trees can quickly be identified by examining their fruit. 18 A variety that produces delicious fruit never produces an inedible kind. And a tree producing an inedible kind can’t produce what is good. 19 So the trees having the inedible fruit are chopped down and thrown on the fire. 20 Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person[a] is by the kind of fruit produced. Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to me as ‘Lord,’ but still won’t get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey my Father in heaven. 22 At the Judgment[b]many will tell me, ‘Lord, Lord, we told others about you and used your name to cast out demons and to do many other great miracles.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘You have never been mine.[c] Go away, for your deeds are evil.’ All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock. But those who hear my instructions and ignore them are foolish, like a man who builds his house on sand. 27 For when the rains and floods come, and storm winds beat against his house, it will fall with a mighty crash.”
After we have become a “newborn baby” into God’s family, that’s when we are now able to get “to know” God and His true love. We are now allowed to start spending time with Him. We are now allowed to talk to Him and have His attention. We sense and feel Him possessing our bodies and our lives. We can feel Him guiding us to be more like Him. As we spend time with Him, He reveals Himself to us “as our Father”. We look to Him for guidance, counsel and direction, “as our Father.” He shows us His love and goodness. He teaches us how to share that sincere pure love with others around us as we grow and mature in life.
I can tell you about all the character and attributes of God but until you actually have an experience with Him yourself you don’t KNOW HIM you just know about Him.
Some people are really good at playing the part of a good Christian but they hold to some perversion, hate, and sinfulness in their lives that actually keeps them separated from God. They have not allowed God to completely sanctify their soul. They like their sin and perversion too much.
One example of this is the perversion of homosexuality. There are many people who are confessing, practicing homosexuals, but still want to claim they love Jesus and are Christians. THAT IS COMPLETE DECEPTION. There are no homosexuals in Heaven. God specifically says that in the Bible and He specifically says DO NOT DO IT.
There are religious cults where the pastor who supposedly talks about Jesus and the preaches from the Bible, yet there is polygamy and sexual perversions going on with in the group. This is not God. This is not true love. God says, ONE WIFE, ONE HUSBAND. More than that is adultery and fornication. There are no adulterers and fornicators in Heaven.
Satan has always deceived the world to think sexual promiscuity and perversion is love and its ok. But God says differently. True biblical love IS NOT sexual perversion. Anyone involved in sexual perversion and promiscuity does not truly KNOW GOD. They have just learned about Him and are deceiving people by adopting a few of God’s love behaviors like charity. But God says in 1 Corinthians , you can give everything you have away but without the true love of God inside “you are nothing”.
Those people who do not possess true love and just know about God will not be permitted into Heaven. God will say to you depart from Me, I never KNEW YOU.
As we talk to God everyday He begins to talk to us. He shares His plan for us, to us. He tells about all the wonderful amazing things He will make possible for us to have and for us to accomplish. God knew the day YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO BECOME HIS SON OR DAUGHTER. He knew the day He would be writing your name down in His book of Life and adopting you into His family. At that time God put an Earthly and Heavenly inheritance aside for you. He put a wonderful life plan together for you and a purpose and assignment He wants you to fulfill right here on Earth before we go to Heaven.
God has all this extraordinary blessings already prepared for you, waiting for you to get to know Him and mature to the spiritual level necessary to carry out your purpose and assignment.
God is willing to get involved with us and have as deep of a relationship with us as we want. God does not force you to love Him and spend time with Him. He is always ready willing and waiting for us to reach out to Him now for a relationship.
Try this analogy…You are adopted into this fantastic, loving, wealthy family. They give you their last name and take you into their home to live. You immediately begin to enjoy the perks of the family. You are able to tell people you are a child of this wonderful family. However, you don’t really “know” them until you start hanging out with them and spend time together talking and doing life together. If after you were born, they had nannies and caretakers in to raise you and had no other communication with you, you would never be able to get to know them, you would just know about them.
This is what our adoption is like with our Father God. We are now one of His children and have the privilege of His family and the Kingdom of God. If we just have caretakers (preachers, teachers) to tell us “about” Jesus, we never get to know Him ourselves. Like any other good father, God is obligated to take care of us. But God is wanting a relationship. God is wanting you to get to know Him. He already knows you.
Having a great relationship with your church and your pastor, is really good, but do not let that replace your one on one relationship with God. Your pastor and your christians friends from church is your spiritual family, but they are not your Father God. You MUST FORM a personal relationship with Him yourself.
The only way to do that is spending time with Him. Talk to Him about everything. As we spend time with God and talk to Him, we get to “Know Him.”
As a Christian, God expects us to learn “about Him”. We do that by reading our bible. Your bible is a composition of stories and promises about God. Within those stories, His position, character and love is revealed. When we realize how He treats His children and the things He is willing to do for us, a relationship is formed and a level of trust, honor, love and respect is produced for Him in our hearts as He expresses and provides that same life and love to us. We begin to fall in love with God and passionately desire His presence in our own lives and we want to give Him our love in return.
Reading our bible helps us to know about God. He describes Himself with words as best as He can. But it is our one on one experience with Him that causes us to actually KNOW HIM. The experience far surpasses any words or description we may be able to express. God is love. Love is suppose to be a two way street. We give love and we receive love. That is what makes a relationship. There are millions of people in this world who are full of love and are looking for someone to give that love to. But they can only do that with those they are in a relationship with. There are certain aspects of God that we must understand and believe to be able to form the foundation of this relationship that we are now developing with our Father God.
God first loved us by giving His Son to be our Savior. We then love God back by accepting that blood sacrifice for our sins so we can become children of God. Go to the “JESUS AS SAVIOR” page of this website for a deeper study. That must be the first step to knowing God. We then renew our mind and thinking to the fact that God Almighty is our FATHER. We are now members of a new family. Next we begin reading our bible to understand how God relates to His children, and the lifestyle He expects from us. This is our commitment and desire to please God and show Him our love, honor and respect He deserves as our Father. He says, “if you love Me then do whatever I say.” Love is not just words or a feeling. LOVE IS ACTION AND BEHAVIOR.
We can’t know what He wants us to do until we spend time talking to Him and reading our bible. Finally we start talking to God in prayer and listening to Him talking to us. God says HIS SHEEP (thats you and I as His children) know His voice and follow Him. Having a conversation with God is not something weird to a child of God. It is a common practice that us and God treasure and look forward to.
Having a relationship with God is experiencing His love. We stand before God, in awe of His majesty. As you release that love and admiration to God He wraps Himself around you and shows you His love, peace and comfort in return. We then go about our lives sharing that same love with family, friends and acquaintances that God puts in our life.
You can talk to Him in His presence and He talks to you. Your conversation with God is released to Him in words and spiritual emotion that words can’t explain from your heart. Your spirit can hear Him talking back to you.
When you pray daily and develop your own personal relationship with God, you experience some- thing that is unexplainable in words. Sitting in the presence of the One True God gives you such a wonderful euphoric feeling. You look forward to His visitation and the experience. There is NO WAY you can come into the actual presence of Almighty God and walk away the same. He changes who you are when you are with Him. He removes any hinderances of emotional pain.
In His presence, you will have a deeper understanding and a more personal relationship with God that far exceeds my opinion or anyone’s hearsay. You will begin to “know Him” for yourself.
This desire to know God more and more overtook many men of God in the bible, which is also the desire of God for all His children TODAY.
God wants you to allow Him to totally possess you body soul and spirit. When we release our inhibitions and totally surrender our selves to God, He will flood you with His indescribable love.
We take this deep “LOVE” experience and presence of God everywhere we go and we share it with everyone we come in contact with. Leaving them wanting what you have.
Paul, wrote most of the New Testament in the bible. He describes his ambition and goal of knowing God that mimic the feelings and desires of many Christians today.
Philippians 3:7-21 Amplified Bible, “But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life]. 8 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did]; so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead. Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.
17 Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18 For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. 20 But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body.
When Jesus came to Earth, He came to show God to us. For our understanding, Jesus described God as a three part triune being. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), God the Holy Spirit. When I say these things I mean that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. They are not three gods but only one God being expressed in 3 ways.
This belief is what separates Christians from other religions. This belief is what assures us that we are reaching and communicating to the right God.
You are able to talk to other gods, but they are false gods. There is only ONE TRUE GOD. You can only speak to Him through Jesus name. Jesus grants us permission to talk to God. Until you understand that Jesus is the gate keeper to God you are not talking to Him.
This teaching from Jesus is why the religious people crucified Jesus. They were not worshipping the right god and therefore rejecting Jesus who is the offspring of the One True God. They refused to believe that Jesus was the Son of God and sent to be our Savior and Messiah.
Other religions believe in God. They may even believe in the birth of Jesus. But they reject the fact that Jesus is the Son of God, Messiah and Savior of man. They refuse to believe that ONLY JESUS CHRIST allows us access to the One True God.
FORGIVENESS
……..you can not know God’s love or walk in His presence or be possessed by Hid spirit of love and truth with FORGIVENESS
IDENTIFY FALSE GODS
I believe one of the closest religions to the Christian belief is the Islamic religion. Islam worships an invisible spiritual god just like Christians. They do not bow to a physical person or a statue. However they believe they are entering right into the presence of God WITHOUT accepting the blood sacrifice that Jesus gave for man. Their sins are “covered” by their confession, but not erased. Islam believes just a simple prayer of repentance is all God needs to offer man forgiveness and keep man in His presence. They pray several times a day continuously asking for forgiveness. They do not recognize the blood sacrifice Jesus made as a vital part of having a relationship with The One True God. Because they will not acknowledge Jesus as our Savior, they are not permitted to talk to the One True God. It does not matter how many times a day you hit your knees. It does not matter how many days you fast and beg. GOD ONLY HEARS THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO ENTER HIS THRONE BY THE BLOOD AND NAME OF JESUS.
Christians believe it’s the cleansing of the blood sacrifice Jesus made that is followed by the repentance of sin that removes our sin and keeps us in God’s presence. Our sins are erased and removed, not covered. We have been made clean once and for all by the blood and have received a new nature that keeps us from sinning.
John 3:15-18 Living Bible, “……. so that anyone who believes in me will have eternal life. 16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son[a] so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. “There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust him to save them. But those who don’t trust him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God.
Right now in 2021, we have allowed Muslim politicians in our government who are pushing their agenda to change us from a CHRISTIAN NATION to a Muslim ideology. We are a Christian nation that allows the freedom of other religions, but our foundation belief and constitution are suppose to be based on King James bible principals.
To an uneducated mind it looks like the Islamic religion is more devoted to their god than Christians. It is their custom to find a quiet place to bow and pray 3-5 times a day. Most Christians do not make a public display of their prayers 3-5 times a day.
Don’t let their appearance of reverence deceive you. Its what is going on in your heart and soul that God Almighty is watching and listening to. And if ANYONE is trying to speak to the One True God without Jesus, He does not hear them. Jesus is the One Who allows our prayers to enter into the presence of God and be heard by Him.
The Islamic religion was started by the Muslim Prophet Muhammed AFTER the resurrection of Jesus in about the 7th century. Paul warned the church that others were going to come preaching a new gospel and a different way to God other than Jesus Christ. He said false teachers would come claiming to be the Messiah. Beware and do not be deceived by the practices of the Islamic religion. It is an antiChrist religion.
God describes a false prophet as one who “presumes to speak in My name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods” (Deuteronomy 18:20).
Jeremiah 14:14, God says these evildoers prophesy lies, offering “false visions, divinations, idol- atries, and the delusions of their own minds.”
Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Acts 20:28-30
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after th
1 John 4:1-6
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the anti- christ, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear chil- dren, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Matthew 7:15-20
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
God warns us many times in scripture to be aware of false teachings and false prophets. Your salvation, your spiritual growth and your ability to talk to God is all based on the Truth of the King James bible. Muslims follow the teachings of Muhammed from the Quran.
Christians need to be able to recognize false teachers in order to know when they are being led down a path that the One True God did not intend. As long as you are reading the true words of God from the King James bible and talking to the One True God through Jesus Christ YOU WILL NOT BE DECEIVED.
If you don’t understand the Christian belief and the difference in other religions who are reading a different bible and talking to a false god, you can be greatly deceived.
Satan copies the ways of Jesus and His death burial and resurrection. Satan will present himself “like” Jesus when he is first revealed so he can win the worship from the people. If you don’t get your head straight and your understanding clear about the Trinity BEFORE the rapture of the church, you will be left behind at the rapture and greatly deceived by the AntiChrist during the tribulation and destroyed in the end.
ONE TRUE GOD
The whole life of a Christian now and throughout eternity is centered around the crucifixion burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Jesus, man CAN NOT have a relationship with the One True God, and can NEVER have a place throughout eternity in Heaven. Jesus is the ONLY ONE who can connect us to the One True God.
This may be easier understood if I said, I am a Father, I am a son, I am a husband, but I am ONE MAN, not three men. This describes God; He is the Creator, He is Jesus, He is the Holy Spirit, but He is ONE GOD being expressed and functioning 3 ways.
Christians believe in one living and true God who is the Creator of heaven and earth; who is eternal, almighty, unchangeable, infinitely powerful, wise, just and holy.
We believe that the one God eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God, co-equal and co-eternal, having precisely the same nature and attributes, and worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience.
While my words to explain God may be limited, I have to say I didn’t fully have a heart understanding of His Triune being until I was personally baptized in His Spirit. That is when I understood the Trinity better. That is when I began my personal relationship with my Triune Father God. That is when I knew I was possessed by His Holy Spirit and I knew my Father God actually became part of who I am.
That is the face to face experience I am urging you to strive for because that is what changes you and gives you that deep understanding of the trinity and the relationship that mere head knowl- edge can not explain. That visitation from the One True God clears away your confusion and helps you see and understand clearly. Once you have a true and real face to face talk with God you are changed FOREVER. It is amazing!
Who is the One True God Almighty? Many religions believe in God but they refuse to believe in His Triune existence. But that is one of the reasons why Jesus came to Earth. To explain the Trinity and help us understand how we can be a member of this wonderful spiritual family.
The religious people in Jesus day had predetermined who “they thought” god was, but Jesus came to clear up the confusion.
Jesus was very clear that Christianity was now the ONLY ACCEPTABLE religion, because Jesus was the ONLY CONNECTION to Almighty God after His crucifixion and resurrection. These other religions must believe that Jesus is the Savior and approach God in the name of Jesus or you are not talking to the true God. God Almighty told people from the very beginning of time, after the fall of Adam and Eve, that He was sending a Savior for the world.
Other religions believe in God, like Catholics, Jehovahs Witness and Islam, but they do not believe in the Trinity and Jesus as Savior. They believe Jesus was a prophet or a wonderful humanitarian but not our SAVIOR and redeemer to God. They believe they are spending eternity in Heaven one day because they believe in God. But without accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, WE CAN NOT EVER SEE HEAVEN.
God Almighty is indeed, the CREATOR of everything. God set everything in motion. He created and set this universe in motion. He created and caused the animals to multiplied. He created and set in motion mankind. There was absolutely nothing until God created it. The explanation of the Trinity is explained in Genesis 1 of the King James bible.
