What Life Should Look Like: the Truth Behind Christianity

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like outside of Church and God?

Here's a clue: When God created heaven and earth, he made them through love and speech, remember? Genesis 1:1-26 talks about how He created these through speaking life into each one including man. God said let there be light; and there was light. God made man in his own image both male and female he made them for the earth.

But, after he created man, man sinned and as a result died in the Spirit. Read Genesis 3 if you know what I am talking about.
Here is another hint: When man sinned, he fell into a trap that was set by Satan known as the Tempter. Satan tempted man and man listened and as a result suffered the consequences of death: No Life eternally.

Years later, God used many prophets to prophesy about the coming Messiah who is the Christ. Unfortunately, when Jesus' father who was Joseph found out that his wife-to-be was pregnant through the Holy Spirit, he was going to get rid of her quietly. But when he had a dream where an angel of the Lord told him to not be fearful because the baby within will save many lives including Israel, he listened and did what the angel told him; he took his pregnant fiancé home. But he chose not to consummate the marriage until after Jesus was born.

During his ministry, Jesus knew that people (most who were not believers) did not love what he said about the Kingdom of Heaven. His message was clear: "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" It's true that what he said came to be.

After his ministry, Jesus was eating with his disciples when he broke bread and drank the cup of wine. One represents his body which was broken for your forgiveness and the other represents his shed blood which is poured out for your sins and mine. Later he was betrayed by one of his followers, stripped, whipped with strings of glass, beaten and hanged on a bloody cross to die.

Now he is risen and is sited at the right hand of his Father and is once again, coming back for a glorious  Bride! What a joy we get to embrace when we see him face to face again in Eternity right?

If you have never accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, now is your chance! Without him you life will be nothing on earth.

Here is a paper I wrote about two years ago on religion:

What is religion? Why did man create it?

Basically, religion is man’s interpretation, and own made up way to find

God. When man created religion, he did not realize that the Man Jesus did

not come to bring peace or a religion. Rather, he came to fulfill the Law

and the Prophets so that everything that was said can fall into place

according to His Word.

My belief is just about the same as other Christians. This includes my gifts

of Prophecy, Speaking/ Praying in Tongues, Discernment and

Intercession, which includes the world and myself. I do my level best to

keep my comments to myself about the subject of religion when other

people have objections about it, but only speak when necessary if my Holy

Spirit leads.

However, at most times, I catch myself speaking to others about my

Christian belief and what they should do to become a believer in Christ.

This is where I stop myself and think about how I could rephrase my

sentence to help them understand why Christ was put to death on a tree,

hanged to die for our sins.

Today, man still has not grasped the concept that God defines pure,

undefiled religion as this: Keeping yourself pure defaulted and taking care

of young children who need parents and those whose husbands have

passed along with keeping himself from the world and its garbage.

Altogether, religion is simply man based and man made materiel that does

not follow Jesus’ teaching under any circumstances. For more details, see

the book of James chapter 1 verses 22-27

To make it even more clear here are song lyrics by Danny Gokey.

You always think I'm somewhere on a mountain top
But never think behind bars
You'd be amazed the places that I'd go to be with you
Where you are
So forget what you've heard
What you think that you know
There's a lot about me
That's never been told
I'm more than you dreamed
More than you understand
Your days and your times
Were destined for our dance
I catch all your tears
Burn your name on my heart
Be still and trust my plan
I'm more than you think I am
More than you think I am
Rumor has it there's a gavel in my hand
I'm only here to condemn
But let me tell you secrets you would've never known
I think of you as my best friend
So much has been said
Even doubted my name
But I'm showing you now
Who I really am
I'm more than you dreamed
More than you understand
Your days and your times
Were destined for our dance
I catch all your tears
Burn your name on my heart
Be still and trust my plan
I'm more than you think I am
More than you think I am
Let me open your eyes to see the heart of me, differently
Come closer than you've ever been
Let me in like never before
Bring me every broken part
The wounds and scars of who you are
And hide in me and you will see
I'm more than you dreamed
More than you understand
Your days and your times
Were destined for our dance
I catch all your tears
Burn your name on my heart
Be still and trust my plan
I'm more than you think I am
I'm more than you think I am
More than you think I am
More than you think I am
I'm more than you think I am

Lord Jesus I thank you for dying on the cross for my sins for i am a sinner in need of a Savior. Please forgive me for my sins and wash me clean with your blood. I believe that you are risen to life and are sited at the right hand of the Father and are coming back for a glorious Bride! I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Please pray this prayer if you have not already.

Before I go, if you prayed that prayer, than I strongly encourage you to tell a family member and a close friend who does not know him intimately. Please warn them gently that if they refuse this beautiful gift of Love, they will not spend eternity with the Lord Jesus in Heaven; for it will be spent in the eternal Fire that was prepared for the Tempter and his angels. Shocking, I know!

Next, please get involved in a local church close to home. Invite friends and family to come join with you.

Have no fear loved ones; your destination will be effective into Heaven!
He wants his Bride!
Come.
