LAZARUS RAISED FROM THE DEAD

John 11:1-44 - Now there was a man by the name of Lazarus (not the poor man who went to heaven in Luke's parable, Luke 16:19-31) who became seriously ill. He lived in Bethany (outside Jerusalem on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives), the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived. (Lazarus was the brother of the Mary who poured perfume upon the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus: "Lord, your friend is ill."

When Jesus (across the River Jordan in Perea) received the message, he said, "This illness is not meant to end in death; it is going to bring glory to God - for it will show the glory of the Son of God."

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard of Lazarus' illness he stayed where he was two days longer. Only then did he say to the disciples, "Let us go back into Jude"

"Master!" returned the disciples, "only a few days ago, the Jews were trying to stone you to death - are you going there again?"

"There are twelve hours of daylight every day, are there not?" replied Jesus. "If a man walks in the daytime, he does not stumble, for he has the daylight to see by. But if he walks at night he stumbles, because he cannot see where he is going."

Plead the Promises of God

By Armin R.Gesswein
Founder and Director of Revival Prayer Fellowships, Inc.
An elderly Methodist lay preacher named Uncle Am always had assurance his prayer would be answered. A young preacher asked for his secret. He said, "Young man learn to plead the promises of God."
-D.L. Moody: "Every work of God can be traced to some kneeling form."
CHANGE IN THINKING
Early in the ministry, I had an experience which completely changed my understanding of prayer. What a transformation! I was called to start churches and had just discovered "prayer meeting truth" in the Acts. So I started a prayer meeting-the first one I ever attended.
In came an elderly Methodist one night. When he prayed, I detected something new. "I have never heard praying like that," I said to myself. It was not only fervency-I had plenty of that. Heaven and earth got together at once when he prayed. There was a strange immediacy about it. The prayer and the answer were not far apart-in fact, were moving along together. He had it "in the bag!" so it seemed to me. The Holy Spirit was right there, in action, giving him assurance of the answer even while he was praying! When I prayed, God was "way out there," somewhere in the distance, listening. The answer, too was in the distance, in the bye and bye.
DISCOVERY!
Eager to learn his secret, I went to see him one day. His name was Ambrose Whaley, and everyone called him "Uncle Am." He was a retired blacksmith-also a Methodist lay preacher. I soon came to the point: "Uncle Am, I would love to pray with you." At once he arose, led me outside across the driveway into a red barn, up a ladder, into a haymow! There, in some old hay, lay two big Bibles-one open. "What is this?" I thought. I prayed first, as I recall it. Poured out my heart, needs, burdens, wishes, aspirations, ambitions to God. Then he prayed-and there was "that difference" again. There, in that hay, on our knees, at the eyeball level, I said: "Uncle Am, what is it? ...You have some kind of secret in praying...Would you mind sharing it with me?"
I was 24, he was 73 (he lived to be 93), and with an eagle-look in his eyes, he said:
"Young man, learn to plead the promises of God!"
THAT DID IT!

Healing Words from God

God's message to you
Exodus 15:26
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
Exodus 23:25

Psalm 103 Of David.

FREEMASONS NA ILLUMINANT

Hiki ni kitabu chenye siri nzito za Freemasons na Illuminanti.

Utangulizi.
Ni mpango wa Shetani kuangamiza sheria ya Mungu tangu mwanzo. Shetani amekuwa
akifanya vita dhidi ya amri 10 za Mungu ambazo ndicho kipimo pekee cha utii kwa
Mungu. Katika vita hiyo, Shetani amekuwa akitumia mawakala wa aina mbalimbali kiasi
cha kufanikiwa kuwadanganya mamilioni ya watu duniani nao wakaiacha sheria ya
Mungu na kufuata mafundisho yaliyo maagizo ya wanadamu. Shetani ameanzisha kanisa
lake na kuweka amri 11 kinyume cha amri 10 za Mungu. Mbeleni tutaona jinsi waumini
wa Shetani kwa dini la Freemasons na Illuminati wanavyotumia namba na ishara katika
kazi zao duniani kiasi cha kuwapofusha watu huku wakidhani kwamba wanamuabudu
Mungu wa mbinguni kumbe wanamuabudu Shetani mwenyewe.
Tunaishi katika nyakati za hatari. Majanga yameenea kila mahali. Machafuko ya kila
aina yameenea ulimwenguni kote. Ubakaji, matetemeko ya ardhi, moto usiowezekana
kuzimwa, mafuriko wakati wa kiangazi, migomo ya wafanyakazi, maporomoko ya ardhi,
kuyumba kwa uchumi, milipuko ya Volkano na mengine mengi yanazidi kutokea kila
kukicha, tena katika mataifa makubwa yaliyoendelea na hata kuitwa ‘mataifa ya
ulimwengu wa kwanza’.
Kuongezeka kwa machafuko haya ya asili na kisiasa yanawafanya wanadamu wawe na
hofu kuhusu maisha yao ya baadae. Inaonekana kana kwamba tupo katika ncha ya
mwisho mbele yetu kukiwa na shimo kubwa tayari kuangukia shimoni. Yote haya ni
dalili za mwisho wa wakati kwa wale walio na masikio ya kusikia na macho ya kuona,
kwamba ulimwengu hautaendelea kwa muda mrefu ukiwa katika hali hii. Mioyo ya watu
inajawa na hofu kwa haya yanayotokea (Luka 21:26). Na watu wanajiuliza maswali:
“kwa nini haya yanatokea?” “Je, Shetani ametawala kikamilifu?”
Hapana, Mungu hajawaacha watu wake waaminifu, lakini maswali hayo yote
yanaonyesha kwamba kuna kitu nyuma ya matukio haya kuliko wengi wanavyoweza
kuelewa.
Kuna vita kali inayoendelea kati ya nguvu za nuru na nguvu za giza —-vita kali kati
ya Yesu na Shetani—-na matokeo yake ndiyo yanayoonekana kwa wanadamu ikiwa ni
matukio hayo. Hata hivyo Mungu wa mbinguni amewaambia watu wake kwamba “muda
ubakio si mwingi.” Na anaendelea kusema “Tukijua ya kwamba saa ya kuamka katika
usingizi imewadia, kwa maana sasa wokovu wetu u karibu nasi kuliko tulipoanza
kuamini. Usiku umeenda sana, mchana umekaribia, basi, na tuyavue matendo ya giza, na
kuzivaa silaha za nuru.” 1 Wakor 7:29; Warumi 13:11-13.
Paulo anatueleza kwamba “Tuvae silaha za Mungu,” ndipo tutakapoweza kusimama
dhidi ya madanganyo ya Mwovu (Waefeso 6:11).
Nilipokuwa nasoma unabii wa Danieli, Ezekieli, Ufunuo nk sikujua jinsi unabii huu
utakavyotimia na kwamba kumbe kundi linalofanya kazi zake kwa siri kubwa ndilo
linalotimiza unabii huu kwa kiasi kikubwa sana.
Wengi hawana habari na madanganyo haya ya Shetani na Mungu ametuagiza
kwamba tusiwe wajinga kiasi cha kutotambua mbinu za Shetani na hivyo “Shetani
akapata kutushinda” 2 Wakorintho 2:11.
Mafanikio makubwa ya Shetani katika udanganyifu yamepatikana kwa njia ya
kuwafanya watu wawe wajinga wa mbinu anazotumia katika kazi yake. Wakati
tunapokuwa wajinga au kuchanganyikiwa, ndipo Shetani anapotushinda na amefanikiwa
kwa kiasi kikubwa kuwashinda wanaume na wanawake wengi ulimwenguni. Hivyo
hatupaswi kulala usingizi na kushindwa kutambua kile kinachoendelea katika ulimwengu
wa giza. Kwa nini? Kwasababu “Mshitaki wenu, kama simba angurumaye, huzunguka
zunguka, akitafuta mtu ammeze.” 1 Petro 5:8; Ufunuo 12:12.
Mwovu anajua kwamba muda wake ni mchache na hivyo halali akiwa anafanya kazi
ya kuuongoza ulimwengu kuelekea katika uangamivu wa mwisho. Watu wa Mungu
karibu watajaribiwa. Wale wasioshinda kwa damu ya mwana kondoo watapata hofu ya
majaribu na hivyo kushindwa.
Lakini ni kwa njia gani Shetani anafanya kazi yake? Anafanya kazi kupitia mawakala
gani? Jibu linatolewa na Mungu. kwa upendo mwingi Mungu anatufunulia wahusika
wakuu katika mchakato huu wa vita ya mwisho kati ya Kristo na Shetani. Wahusika
hawa ndio wanaostahili kulaumiwa kutokana na matokeo tunayoyaona katika ulimwengu
wote kama yalivyotajwa hapo juu.
Katika kitabu cha Ufunuo, Mungu anatufunuliwa wahusika au mawakala watano
ambao ni:
1—Mnyama mwekundu wa Ufunuo 12—Shetani mwenyewe
2—Mnyama mfano wa chui wa Ufunuo 13—Rumi ya kidini
3—Mnyama mfano wa mwana kondoo wa Ufunuo 13:11—Taifa la Marekani
4—Sanamu ya Mnyama Ufunuo 13—Umoja wa makanisa —WCC
5—Mnyama wa rangi nyekundu sana na mwanamke wa Ufunuo 17—-Illuminati,
freemason wakiwa wameungana na kanisa la Rumi..

Was Jesus Rich

JESUS WAS GIVEN GIFTS AS A CHILD AGED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD

Jesus was given gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh as a 2 year old child. The frankincense and myrrh were worth more than the gold!

Matthew 2: 11, "And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshipped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

JESUS HAD A HOME AND A FAMILY BUSINESS

Jesus inherited His earthly father Joseph's home, and also Joseph's family business, according to the culture of His day, since He was the eldest Son

Jesus was not just carpenter. His business was a family business, probably called "Joseph and sons." Jesus was actually a builder of houses, as well as the tables and chairs in them! He built houses, complete with the roof, walls, doors, windows, tables, chairs and beds. In Israel today can be seen replica New Testament villages.

The two main businesses in Israel during the lifetime of Jesus were the building of homes, and fishing. Fishing was the high tech industry of the day, feeding thousands of people every day on the Via Maris, as well as the entire population of Israel. Jesus' disciples were the New Testament equivalent of today's City Traders!

JESUS CHRIST HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MASTER OF MASTER BUILDERS, AND IS NOW THE MASTER BUILDER OF OUR LIVES

Jesus Christ created the entire universe

Jesus Christ created the entire universe, in six days (please see our teaching on Creation: The Genesis Account on this web site). The Bible records:

- John 1:1-3, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made".

- Colossians 1:15-17,"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him".

Jesus Christ's occupation was Master Builder

Jesus Christ's occupation was a master builder before His Earthly ministry.

Jesus Christ is now the Master Builder of our lives

Jesus Christ is still the Master Builder, transforming us, little by little, into His Likeness. According to 1 Corinthians 6:19, "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you".

Jesus Christ builds our lives, as recorded in 2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1, "But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him" TLB.

Jesus Christ is the best possible foundation on which to build our lives

Jesus said, in Luke 6:47-49, "Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

Jesus is now the Master Builder of our lives.

JESUS CHRIST WORE EXPENSIVE CLOTHING

Empirical Evidence for God

Outline of impeccable Evidences for Theism to non theism.

1. Contingency – Why does something exist rather than nothing? Self-existence is necessary. Universe began. Universe is not self-existent.

2. Cosmological – Absolute beginning requires a cause. Cause of Physical Universe cannot be Physical. Must be non-physical, space-less, timeless and willful to cause Physical Universe from Physical Nothingness.

3. Design: specified complexity, specifically integrated interdependencies for third purposes, irreducible complexity. No plausible Naturalistic mechanisms or explanations actually exist.

Precision FINELY TUNED constants and quantities present in initial conditions of the Universe to within infinitesimally narrow ranges to permit life. Universe is precision balanced on razor’s edge.

4. Ontological argument – God is a metaphysically necessary Being. Since God’s attributes are metaphysically possible, and all metaphysical possibilities are also actual, God must be actual.

5. Intelligence in Nature: Intelligence, order and reason and information all from Nothingness?
Spiritual instinct of man: Evolved to connect with something not actual?

Moral Truth / Apprehension of Objective moral truth. Is rape really wrong or just an illusion?
Knowledge of reliable Natural Laws
Massive Historical evidences of witnessed Miracles, visions, fulfilled prophecies,
Personal experiences: Ubiquitous NDE’s, supernatural phenomena
Christ’s resurrection witnessed by hundreds.

Absolute failure of Naturalism to explain a Finely tuned Universe, Finite Universe, Sentience, Rational truth Moral Law (morality), reliable knowledge, intelligence, purpose, free-will…

Ushuhuda wa Victoria Juu ya Kuzimu

Muda Unaisha Haraka!

Huu ni ufupisho wa ushuhuda wa Victoria Nehale

Nilizaliwa na kuishi Namibia maisha yangu yote; na niliyatoa maisha yangu kwa Yesu tarehe 06 Februari 2005. Bwana Yesu Kristo ameshanifunulia mambo mengi katika ulimwengu wa roho ikiwa ni pamoja na safari za kuzimu. Bwana alinipa maelekezo kwamba niwashirikishe watu uzoefu wangu; pia alinionya kuwa nisiongeze wala kupunguza chochote katika vile alivyonionyesha na kuniambia. Wakati nikiandika kitabu hiki, mwishoni mwa 2006, nilishatembelewa mara 33 na Bwana Yesu Kristo. Kila aliponitembelea, Bwana alikuwa akiniambia kabla ya kuondoka: MUDA UNAISHA HARAKA!

Safari ya kwanza kuzimu

Katika wikiendi ya tarehe 23 Julai 2005, nilipanda taksi kwa ajili ya safari ya dakika thelathini kutokea mji wa Ondangwa ambako ndiko ninakofanya kazi na kuishi, hadi kijijini kwetu, kwa lengo la kwenda kuwa na wazazi wangu wakati wa wikiendi ile. Wakati nikielekea nyumbani, nilipata hisia kwamba kuna jambo lisilo la kawaida ambalo lingetokea jioni ile. Nilifika nyumbani kwenye saa 12 jioni; na hapo watu walikuwa wanaandaa chakula cha jioni. Nilikuwa jikoni pamoja na familia yetu, huku nikiwa nimelala kwenye mkeka. Watoto wa hapo nyumbani walikuwa wakiimba nyimbo zao za Shule ya Jumapili. Ghafla nilijisikia upako mzito ukinishukia; mwili wangu ukawa dhaifu sana; na nikawa nimetoka kwenye mwili kutokana na nguvu za Mungu. Nilimwona mwanamume amevaa joho jeupe refu likiwa limefungwa kwa kamba ya rangi ileile; akiwa anatembea kuelekea pale nilikokuwa nimelala. Kulikuwa na nuru imemzunguka kana kwamba ilikuwa ikitokea kwake. Alikuwa amevaa viatu vya wazi vya kahawia. Mwonekano wake ulikuwa kama wa watu wa Mashariki ya Kati, huku akiwa na ngozi nzuri ya hudhurungi. Uso wake ulikuwa mpole sana na umejaa utukufu lakini sikuweza kumtazama machoni. Alipoongea, sauti yake ilikuwa ya upole, na upendo, lakini pia yenye mamlaka; mawimbi ya upendo yalikuwa yakitoka kwake.

Alinyoosha mkono wake kwangu na kuninyanyua kutokea pale nilipolala. Ghafla nilijiona nikiwa nina mwili mzuri sana. Nilijiona niko kama nilivyokuwa ningali na miaka kumi na nane. Nilikuwa nimevaa joho jeupe na kamba nyeupe. Japokuwa joho langu lilikuwa jeupe, lilitengenezwa kwa matirio tofauti na ya joho la yule mwanamume. Joho lake lilikuwa la hariri huku liking’aa kiasi kwamba hata nashindwa namna ya kuelezea.

Alisema, kwa sauti ya upendo na upole sana: “Victoria, nataka uende nami; nitakuonyesha mambo ya kuogopesha na ninakupekela mahali ambako haujawahi kufika katika maisha yako.” Alinishika mkono wa kulia na tukaondoka. Nilijiona kama vile tunatembea hewani na muda wote tulikuwa tukielekea tu juu. Baada ya muda, nikawa nimechoka sana, na nikamwambia kuwa nisingeweza kuendelea na safari. Hivyo nikamsihi aniruhusu nirudi. Hata hivyo, alinitazama kwa upendo na kusema, “Haujachoka – uko sawa tu. Kama ukichoka, nitakubeba, lakini kwa hivi sasa uko tu sawa. Amani iwe kwako. Tuendelee.”

Tulifika mahali ambako ni pakavu sana; pakavu kuliko jangwa lolote analojua binadamu; hakukuwa na dalili zozote za uhai. Hakukuwa hata na mti mmoja au hata jani au kiumbe chochote hai. Lilikuwa ni eneo linalofadhaisha sana.

Former Muslim from Afghanistan now living in Sweden says “all of my country’s problems are caused by Islam”

If more Muslims in Sweden were like this courageous man, there would be no problems. Reza asked me to post this video even though it could put him in danger.

YES, the murderer who just killed 2 NYC cops is a Muslim. His name is ‘Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley’

According to police reports and his Facebook page, he was a Muslim. Thankfully, now, he is a dead Muslim. Reports say it was a revenge mission for Eric Garner & Michael Brown.

According to his Facebook page, Brinsley speaks Arabic. His favorite quotation on his page is: The Foot You Step On Today Could Be Connected To The The Ass You May Have To Kiss Tomorrow. On his Facebook page he went by the moniker “Bleau Barracuda.” According to an arrest sheet for Brinsley from 2007 in Georgia, his middle name is Abdullah. In that incident, Brinsley was accused of criminal trespass. 

Ismaaiyl Brinsley shot and killed two NYPD officers before committing suicide in Brooklyn’s Bed Stuy neighborhood just before 3 p.m. on December 20. He’s believed to have walked up to the cop’s patrol car and opened fire, “execution” style. The murdered cops have been named as officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.

He’s believed to have walked up to the cop’s patrol car and opened fire, “execution” style. After the shooting, he took his own life. Brinsley, 28, ran to the platform of a Subway station on Marcy Avenue and killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, reports NBC New York. He was taken to a Brooklyn hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police recovered a silver handgun from his death scene.

One of his last Instagram posts included lyrics to the 50 Cent song “Green Lantern,” never had a hot gun on your waist and blood on your shoe…n*gger you ain’t been through what I been through you not like me and I’m not like you.” The post included the hashtags, “#BrooklynGoHard #ConeyIsland,” reports the New York Post. The next showed a picture of a silver handgun with the words “I’m putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours…Let’s take 2 of theirs.” It included the hashtags “#shootthepolice” as well as references to Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Isn’t it time for Muslims to stop blaming the media for “distorting the image of Islam?”

It is Muslims themselves who are showing the world exactly how violent Islam is which is no distortion.

Unfortunately, the author of the whiny drivel below is Huma Munir, a MUSLIM teacher in the San Antonio school distirct.

American Statesman  This past weekend, the world held its breath as a manMUSLIM who took control of a cafe in Sydney held more than a dozen people hostage for 16 hours.

The incident is deeply concerning not only because innocent lives were put at risk but also because the Islamic affirmation of faith was clearly visible from the window of the Lindt cafe in Martin Place. While Muslims around the world spoke against this atrocity and prayed for victims, they also saw their faith being defamed by a lunatic on live television. (But he wasn’t a lunatic, he was a normal Muslim doing what Muslims do around the world on a regular basis)

As the situation unfolded, I felt a familiar feeling of guilt creeping into my heart.(Guilt? HAH! More like “Let me cry that I am the victim of Islamophobia”)

I moved to the United States 13 years ago — three weeks after 9/11 (Timing is everything). Like many Muslims in America and western nations, I have become strangely accustomed to this feeling every time the Islamic State or another terrorist organization rises to power and takes innocent lives in the name of Islam. (Pretty much on a weekly basis)
