The Word for 2022....

[amadeus]

"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Eph 4:4-6

"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Eph 4:4-6

Written to whom . Believers in JESUS . Yep . Let the LORD be praised .
March onwards in those trenches my friend . We must contend for and defend the one true faith , the one true gospel
which was first spoke by JESUS then later by those apostles .

@amadeus I think Ephesians is among the most searching and sublime of the Epistles...

 

[farouk]

Sounds good.

@Faithbuilders Yes, well, pursuing prayer and the Scriptures is never wrong advice...

 

[amigo de christo]

Jesus!

Amadues you are loved and prayed for as well my dear friend .
You do realize that if one is in another religoin or mindset ,like i once was is lost .
That in truth when THE GOD and i mean the ONLY GOD leads one to salvation , to saving faith
IT means HE has turned their mind from following that which is false into following THE ONE TRUE JESUS .
Meaning WE WOULD CONFESS BY MOUTH JESUS IS THE LORD , FROM THE HEART WE WOULD BELIEVE in HE ALONE .
GOD would not even allow cornelious , WHO DID MIGHTY GOOD WORKS , WHO EVEN PLEASED GOD with HIS MUCH alms giving
to remain in the state of mind he was in . Cornelious . That man did much good , much prayer , much alms
BUT GOD KNEW HE NEEDED TO BE LED TO SAVING FAITH IN JESUS .
A LOT of preachers wont talk about that simple concept . INSTEAD they are infected by the delusion of the all inclusion .
THEY TRY and teach that if folks are doing good somehow they are saved .
IF that was the case then why did an angel appear to cornelious telling him to send for peter
to hear words of how HE could be saved . Read acts ten , read also acts eleven .
HE had to hear the words whereby HE could be saved . IF cornelious , one who actually called upon the GOD of abraham
and did many good things which pleased GOD HAD TO HEAR THE GOSPEL and BELIEVE IT , what on earth
makes us think any other religoin can be saved by good works . ANY LOVE that does not point to CONFESSING JESUS as the absolute
and only means whereby one can be saved , IS FALSE . GO read acts chapter ten and eleven and read even acts chapter thirteen .

IT ALL IS . I think , no , i KNOW that if we point to any other than JESUS
if we point to a love that would exclude having to confess by mouth JESUS and believe from the heart in HIM and that GOD rose HIM from the dead
then we point to one thing , THE SECOND DEATH .
You and all here are looking at a man that was the worst of the worst , i dare say even paul would have cringed at the sight of me .
BUT I KNOW he would not have . HE KNEW he was nothing and was dire evil as by the same grace i have learned the same about myself .
THIS MAN IS NOTHING . AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE . we aint nothing . BUT JESUS , NOW JESUS IS THE HOPE .
I could even once confess as many that JESUS was LORD , but in heart HE was not my LORD , satan was .
I choke back the tears even now thinking of what i once was . MY advice to you , to amadues ,and to all
IS that we had better know the one true gospel . EVEN IF WE KNOW IT , ITS STILL GOOD that i remind .
That one has to confess by mouth JESUS and believe from the heart that GOD had rose HIM from the dead TO be saved .
THE atheists , the budist , the muslim , even the jew , and any other mindset or religoin is false .
GOD dont allow us to FEEL SAVED in any other religoin . NO , HE draws us to JESUS . any other god and any other
love that dont do that , IS FALSE . No matter if it does mighty good works . EVEN CORNELIUS
EVEN HE with WHOM the angel appeared and said YOU are heard for your prayers and alms , ALL NEED JESUS TO BE SAVED .
AND GOD , THE GOD , the ONLY GOD leads us and led us to JESUS . EVEN CORNELIOUS
one who GOD heard , one who GOD sent an angel to to remind HIM of all his good deeds , NEEDED JESUS .
I am at war with this false love and false lie which states that if folks do good and etc it dont matter what religion they are in
they are saved . ITS A LIE . I Dont know about you or others , BUT I NEED JESUS TO BE SAVED . I NEED JESUS .

Hebrews 12.2: "Looking untoJesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith..."

Hebrews 12.2: "Looking untoJesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith..."

YEs indeed my friend .
Now before i ask you this question , i want you to always feel free to ask my any question as well .
DO you believe that one must BELIEVE IN JESUS to be saved . In other words
do you believe as does pope francis and majority of protestanism does , that as long as one does good works and has this love
that they too are saved , even if they are in other relgions .
I tell us all THAT IS FALSE . How pride filled am i , when i admit and point folks to , JESUS CHRIST .
No matter what this world and its religoins believe can save them , I KNOW I NEED JESUS . HE ALONE IS MY ONLY HOPE .
Where is my evil in that . Where is my pride in that . YOu dont hear me saying i saved me
or my good works saved me . I NEED JESUS FOR SALVATION . GUESS what , SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE .
ALL those other false religoins , no matter how many good works and lovey lovey they have , AINT GONNA save them
anymore than my works could have saved me . NOPE . I NEED JESUS .
I NEED JESUS .
I NEED HIM .
ON the day of judgement , ALL others are gonna wish they had him too . THIS man has nothing good in him , BUT JESUS .
JESUS . I WILL SING HIS NAME , I WILL SING THAT HOPE , to my last and final breath .
ON the day of judgment , one thing i know , GOD wont be angry cause i said JESUS ALONE WAS THE ONLY WAY .
AND we had better all say the same .
Feel free to ask me why i think i have eternal life . YOU WONT HEAR ME SAYING cause i did this or that
YOU WILL hear me saying , ONLY BECAUSE OF JESUS . FAITH IN JESUS .

Ephesians 2.8-9; it's by faith in Him...

 

[amigo de christo]

Ephesians 2.8-9; it's by faith in Him...

YES IT IS MY FRIEND . faith , hope and trust in anything else is vain .
For i could do all the good works and yet if i were a muslim , a buddist , an atheist , IT WONT SAVE ME .
NOR will it save them . NOR will it save them . NOR will it save them .
I say this over and over again due to the false love and all inclusive unity lie .
GOD dont lead us to other religions , nor would he allow us to stay in them . HE draws us to , JESUS CHRIST .

 

[Pearl]

Yes indeed . JESUS . and now another word . Not muhammed , not buddah , not atheism , not gnostics ,
not any other religion or any other name . And be on gaurd for many can preach jesus , but it aint JESUS .
I suppose you already know well what i am saying . the uncaptilized jesus is just another jesus .

Another good word is love - not, as my headmaster used to tell us,'luv' or 'lurve' but real true love.

ATTITUDE!!!

 

[amadeus]

ATTITUDE!!!

The "right" attitude comes from the right Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always the right Spirit and when a person follows the right Spirit faithfully then his attitude will always be right in the eyes of God. On his own or following his own head, he will end up in a ditch every time.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Every year (well almost every year) About this time, I spend time in prayer seeking God for a word concerning the upcoming year. Then I design a poster based on that word, and have that as my Windows background. This is the poster I make with the Word of the Lord I felt for the year 2022.....

"On his own or following his own head, he will end up in a ditch every time."

Yes brother, I'm well acquainted with "ditch's" Hence...ATTITUDE! May I ask for your prayer concerning this? It's not like it is if around people (which is rare anymore) it's when alone...and that is pretty much ALL the time. Can't seem to "force" myself into a jolly mindset anymore. The highest my spirits are is when around others as, it is a rare treat anymore and just CANNOT WAIT to get back to the Genesis Center, been way too long. Is it even possible to be a Christian and NOT experience such joy, as the bible says? I have to wonder.

I think sometimes we have to be real with how we really area , but we have to be real before the Lord. He already knows us inside out, but he wants us to be real with him and before him. Trusting him with reality is hard , and yet he already chooses to see us as we are meant to be. It’s about giving even the worst in us an expression and not being ashamed, being that person before the Lord means being vulnerable. The Lord knows what the last 18months has brought about, but I still stand by Romans 8:28 and know that he can bring good out of everything …….Even out of our dark and lonely times. I am not sure I have been able to experience inner joy ( if I am honest ) I know I am still a work in progress…..my word is ‘ butterfly ‘ which may seem weird, but it is so personal because i know it represents something in my life which only the Lord and I talk about …….that word came after reading the OP this morning…….so that’s my word for 2022

Very well done, @Faithbuilders

Reminds me of Psalm 27:7:
"The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning."

This song also came into my head looking at it

(I'm not saying that's what it means, but just what it made me think of.)

That is what I have been sharing with others all year! The Great Awakening! It's coming!

I agree, and following God the Holy Spirit wont always be judged by many as the "Right Attitude"

Dont forget, we have many in this world that claim to he on Gods team and they aren't

Example those who claim to be Christian's, that support and defend Abortion as a womans right to choose, and homosexuality in same sex marriage
