A SIMPLE PRAYER

A Simple Prayer

"I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (Acts 27:25).

 I went to America some years ago with the captain of a steamer, who was a very devoted Christian. When off the coast of Newfoundland he said to me, "The last time I crossed here, five weeks ago, something happened which revolutionized the whole of my Christian life. We had George Mueller of Bristol on board. I had been on the bridge twenty-four hours and never left it. George Mueller came to me, and said, "Captain I have come to tell you that I must be in Quebec Saturday afternoon." "It is impossible," I said. "Very well, if your ship cannot take me, God will find some other way. I have never broken an engagement for fifty-seven years. Let us go down into the chart-room and pray."

I looked at that man of God, and thought to myself, what lunatic asylum can that man have come from? I never heard of such a thing as this. "Mr. Mueller," I said, "do you know how dense this fog is?" "No," he replied, "my eye is not on the density of the fog, but on the living God, who controls every circumstance of my life."

He knelt down and prayed one of the most simple prayers, and when he had finished I was going to pray; but he put his hand on my shoulder, and told me not to pray. "First, you do not believe He will answer; and second I BELIEVE HE HAS, and there is no need whatever for you to pray about it."

 I looked at him, and he said, "Captain, I have known my Lord for fifty-seven years, and there has never been a single day that I have failed to get audience with the King. Get up, Captain and open the door, and you will find the fog gone." I got up, and the fog was indeed gone. On Saturday afternoon, George Mueller was in Quebec for his engagement.

THE NECESSITY OF PREACHING ON HELL


THE NECESSITY OF PREACHING ON HELL

(Friday Church News Notes, August 19, 2011, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org) –

The following is from James Wigton, “Lee Roberson: Always about His Father’s Business”, pp. 272, 273:

“In his sermon, Do We Need A New Gospel? Dr. Roberson stated that he did not enjoy preaching about hell--that he would rather preach about God’s love and about heaven. ‘But one day I shall give an account of myself and of my ministry to God,’ he said. ‘In that day I do not want my hands to be stained with the blood of others. Therefore, I must faithfully proclaim the truth of God’s wrath upon all who reject the Savior.”

Roberson recalled the day when he preached strongly on hell in a week-long series of revival meetings at Woodlawn Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Many people were saved in the meetings. The church was the second largest church in Birmingham at that time. ... Roberson related the story in his sermon, Seventy-One Years of Fundamentalism.

‘[The pastor] called me back in his office one night toward the end of the week,’ Roberson remembered. ‘He said, I promised the deacons when I came to this church that I would not preach on hell. So, I have not preached on hell one single time in these five years! Now, I regret it so much when I see what God has done here in just a week’s time. My church has been dying because I have been holding back from them the Word of God!’”

To My Fellow Pastor,

Are you holding back from your brethren in your church God’s Precious Pure Word? When was the last time you preached on the Doctrine of Hell? Remember, we who are called to preach the Gospel is not only responsible but ACCOUNTABLE to Him who called us even our God and Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ! There is a day of reckoning.

FRIEND:

Christmas is all about the LORD Jesus Christ, the Saviour of Sinners like you and I. He took upon human flesh 2000 years ago so that man who is lost in sin because he is a sinner, might have eternal life, that is salvation. How was this made possible?

Luke 1:46-47

King James Version (KJV)

46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.


"My Saviour" is a very remarkable way for a mother to refer to her son. Because Mary was born in sin and shared the sin of the human race, she too needed a Saviour. When she heard that she was to be the mother of the Son of God, she rejoiced and she sang this beautiful song of wonder and praise called "The Magnificat," from the word "magnify" used in the opening line of this hymn of praise.

From The New Pilgrim Bible
            KJV Student Edition

Our Response  Acts 20:21
King James Version (KJV)

21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Every person therefore must have the same awareness of one's sinfulness (Romans 3:9-10, 23) as Mary, the human instrument used of God Almighty to bring the Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ in human flesh. She not only recognized but acknowledged that she too was a sinner, therefore in need of a Saviour. But the realization in her heart and mind that the One who was in her womb was the promised Saviour brought rejoicing in her heart. This too must be our response of gratitude and praise to Him who is Emmanuel, "God with us."

And so Christmas is about Jesus, meaning Jehovah (God) the Saviour. Let our hearts be filled with gratitude for all eternity to Him who saved His people from their sins. Amen!

The question though reader is: Who is Jesus Christ to you? Is He your Saviour and LORD of your life? Surrender and Yield to Him now in this lifetime which will last for eternity in His Heavenly Kingdom. Conversely, if you reject Him and His great salvation, you will experience an eternal separation from Him and be punished for all eternity in the "lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death." Rev. 21:8 KJV.

HOW IS YOUR CHURCH KNOWN?


HOW IS YOUR CHURCH KNOWN IN YOUR COMMUNITY?

Is it important how a local church is known in the community where the church is located? Does a particular sign impacts the lives of people? The writer believes so without apology.

One member of our church before she and her husband joined Cainta Wesleyan Church was in truth and in fact attracted, led of the LORD by His Holy Spirit to come into the church that opportune day many years back because she saw such a sign. From that day on, this couple has become faithful followers of the LORD Jesus Christ.

Recently, our church through its Local Board of Administration made a unanimous decision to have a sign placed in front of the church facade. Our intent is to boldly make known to all who sees the sign, that Cainta Wesleyan Church is “A BIBLE BELIEVING AND CHRIST CENTERED CHURCH”!

Thus the sign was made and set in place so that all who pass by our church and sees the sign will know that we are such a church, yes, a Bible Believing and Christ Centered Church because we are Bible Believers and that the LORD Jesus Christ is the center of its existence.

This action of our church is a Bold, Confident and Uncompromising Stand to make known to all, whatever religious affiliations or beliefs they have, that Cainta Wesleyan Church is a church that exists for the “praise, honor and glory of our God and Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ and His Precious Pure Words”!

 We are a church comprised of men and women, young and old alike who are not ashamed to make known to all that there is only One Way To Heaven and that is through the Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ alone!
John 14:6

6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 Romans 1:16
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

And that all other way(s), whether religious or otherwise will lead men after physical death straight to a place called hell, the “lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8; 20:10 KJV).
And this is without apology to anyone.

We want to faithfully adhere and follow the mandate of Jesus Christ our LORD in:
Matthew 10:32-33

King James Version (KJV)

32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

And so, does a sign impacts the lives of people. Yes, it does as evidenced by the many signs one sees advertising any and all kinds of intentions, goods and services.

SALVATION IS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE!

SALVATION IS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Text: Romans 1:16 King James Version (KJV)
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

I) INTRODUCTION: The name God these days is “generic”. Everybody speaks of God. But the question is: who is the God people are talking of. Does all speak of the One and Only True God? That is the question!

II) WHO IS GOD? There is ONLY ONE and TRUE God. Not two or more. This One and Only True God is the God of the Holy Bible. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Moses and Joshua. The God of King David and all of the Old testament Prophets. He is the Creator of heaven and earth and everything that was ever created. Now, the God of the Holy Bible is a Just, Holy & Righteous God yet is Forgiving, Gracious, Loving & Merciful. These are the two sides of the character of God mentioned in Holy Scriptures. To emphasize one side and neglect the other is half truth. And half truth is no truth at all. Now, the God of the Bible is described in Holy Scriptures as:


1> God is a Consuming Fire – Deut. 4:24; 9:3; Heb. 12:29
2> God is a Wrathful God – Ps. 90:7; Isa. 13:9; Hab. 3:2; Matt. 3:7; Romans 2:5; 1 Thes. 5:9
Rev. 6:16;
He is Angry with the Wicked – Psalm 7:11
3> God is a Fearful God – Matthew 10:28; Hebrews 10:31

III) MAN’S SPIRITUAL CONDITION BEFORE THIS HOLY, JUST & RIGHTEOUS GOD!

FIVE (5) ABSOLUTE TRUTHS TRUE TO EVERY PERSON:
1> Man is a SINNER – Romans 3:9-10; 23
2> Man who is a Sinner, his spiritual heart is DECEITFUL – Jeremiah 17:5
3> Man who is a Sinner, his spiritual heart is ROTTEN – Mark 7:21-23
4> Man who is a Sinner, is a “Child of the Devil” – John 8:44; compare 1 John 3:8 & 10
5> Man who is a Sinner, is Spiritually Dead, though physically alive – Ephesians 2:1

IV) GOD’S PLAN FOR SINFUL MAN:

1> That all men may be saved – John 3:16-18
2> But this salvation is ONLY THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE – John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-10

V) MAN’S RESPONSE:
Repent and Believe the Gospel – Mark 1:15. Define GOSPEL – Galatians 1:6-9 What & Who is the Object of this Gospel? The Pure Gospel is the True Gospel taught and preached by the Apostle Paul; The Gospel is all about the LORD Jesus Christ: His death, burial and resurrection (1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV). This alone is the True Gospel. All others are counterfeit and will damn men straight to hell. There must be no "addition" or "subtraction" made on this True Gospel such as the additions made by Roman Catholicism about Mary and the saints or the subtraction made by groups like the INK & Jehovah's Witnesses which teaches that Jesus Christ is only a man. Such is damnable and false teaching. When heeded by men, will condemn them to the "lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death" (Rev. 21:8; 20:10 KJV). The LORD Jesus Christ is the God-Man, truly divine and truly human.

That all men may come to repentance. God Demands Biblical Repentance!

1> Genuine Repentance (speaks of sin that must be repented of and Faith in the LORD Jesus Christ is Imperative. These two are like Siamese twins, inseparables – Acts 20:21; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rev. 21:8;

2> Man Must Decide and Make a Choice. His choice will determine where he goes after physical death: Heaven or Hell (Hebrews 9:27; Rev. 21:8 cp 20:10).

CONCLUSION: Therefore, YOU MUST MAKE A DECISION: To repent or not to repent; to believe or not to believe. This is the choice one has to make that will determine one’s eternal destiny, heaven or hell and affect every area of his earthly life.

IS HEALING GOD'S WILL FOR THE CHILD OF GOD?

Brethren:

Our God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ never does anything for and on behalf of His Authentic, Genuine, True Born Again (John 3:1-7)Children, saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-10) and redeemed by the BLOOD of the Lamb (Hebrews 9:12, 14,22)that is contrary, inconsistent and not in agreement with His Precious Pure Words.

God the Father cannot do anything that is against His Revealed Words in the Holy Scriptures. When He has spoken and what He has said is written and laid out in the pages of Holy Scriptures and they are, then Believer in the LORD Jesus, Child of God, you can bet your life on it. This is true in every area of our lives whether physical or spiritual.

It is so in the matter of healing. In this posting in my blog, I am doing a teaching session on how an authentic, genuine & true believer in the LORD Jesus Christ can lay hold of and experience healing.

First, Healing is of the LORD because sickness is of Satan (Acts 10:38). Study the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. The LORD Jesus in the Gospels, met people who were sick and afflicted who came to Him for healing. And the four testified to the fact that Jesus healed them.
Therefore, we can make a conclusion even now that healing is God’s Will for His children. And this can be proven by the Scriptures attached to this blog and email.

Second, we need to ask a basic question: What is God’s Will? Let us try and simplify things. I will define it with this statement:

“The Holy Bible is God’s Precious Pure Words. God’s Precious Pure Words is God’s Will”. When I know what the Holy Bible says, I know God’s Will because the Holy Bible is God’s revelation of His Will. Therefore, “Know the Bible Know God’s Will”!

The person who does not know God’s Precious Pure Words, because of ignorance or lack of knowledge, cannot know God’s Will. And this is true in all areas of life. You cannot expect God to be at work on your behalf without the knowledge of His Precious Pure Words.

By the way, child of God, do you want your prayers to be always answered? See 1 John 5:13-15). This is the assurance of one who makes sure that everything one brings to His Father in Jesus name (John 16:23) is consistent, in agreement and in line with God’s Precious Pure Words. Why? Because it is God’s Will.

Beware of Hosea 4:6a! Don’t be caught lacking knowledge of God’s Precious Pure Words, not only about healing but in every area of your need, for it is synonymous with rejecting (John 12:48) God’s Precious Pure Words.

6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee….

Let us continue. Remember well the following statement:
"I am not moved by what I feel or what I see. I am only moved by what I believe and I believe the WORD OF GOD!" (Smith Wigglesworth)

Third, I strongly suggest that you the reader study & memorize the following Confession. Make sure to Daily Declare, Speak & Verbalize God's Precious Pure Words (Only King James Version Bible) because you believe them with your heart (Romans 10:9-10) and Obey/Do (Luke 11:28; James 1:22) them. Love God’s Precious Pure Words and hide them in your heart (Psalm 119:11; Proverbs 4:20-23).

Bring them daily before the hearing of God's ears (Numbers 14:28) and the LORD will make to come to pass His PRECIOUS PURE WORDS on your behalf without fail in time. I have done this for many years and still do this daily in my own life and on behalf of my household day by day. I have experienced the Truth and reality of this teaching based on God's Precious Pure Words in my own life and in the lives of many to whom I have ministered God’s Precious Pure Words.

And because the LORD is not a liar (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2), GUARANTEED IN JESUS NAME, if you do what I have done and continue to do daily, you will experience the goodness and faithfulness of Jesus Christ our LORD not only in the area of need for healing but in many others! Let every man be a liar including this writer but never the God of Holy Scriptures.

Daily again and again make this declaration:

MY DAILY CONFESSION: "Therefore, because the LORD is my Jehovah-Rapha (Exodus 15:26b), I declare that I am healed and strong in Jesus name. Himself, my LORD Jesus, took my infirmities, even cancer or any disease and by His stripes I am healed (Isaiah 53:4-5). In Christ I live and move and have my being (Acts 17:28a);

I bless Him like King David did in Psalm 103:1-3: "Bless the LORD oh my soul & all that is within me.Bless His holy name. Who forgiveth all thine (mine)iniquities; Who healeth all thine (mine)diseases".
Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD!

Thank You Father God that you are the "strength of my heart & my portion forever" (Psalm 73:26b);
Thank You for "sending Your Word that healed me & delivered me from all destructions" (Psalm 107:20-21);
Thank You that "I shall not die (before my time) but live and declare the works of the LORD" (Psalm 118:17-18);

Father, I appropriate by faith (Romans 1:16-17; Romans 10:17; Gal. 3:11; Hebrews 10:38-39) the full days that You planned for me to live in this earth (Genesis 6:3; Psalm 90:10) not one day less in Jesus mighty name (Phil. 2:9-10); I will not, no never, will I be bedridden because of any disease or sickness by the grace and mercy of my LORD;

Rather, I am alive & well, up & about my feet, healthy & strong in the mighty & powerful name of my LORD Jesus Christ, whose I am and whom I serve until He comes again or calls me home to heaven!
And I will declare with my lips and tongue (Proverbs 18:20-21; Mark 11:23) Your goodness and faithfulness in my life "for the praise and honor and glory of HIM (Ephesians 1:12) who is my God and Saviour, my LORD Jesus Christ! Amen & Amen!

BRETHREN, believe God with all of your heart for the impossible: for "He is the God of the Impossible!"
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Luke 18:27
27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

And so BELIEVE! Do not doubt for HIS WORDS are TRUE!
By the way, Child of God, you can do this too in other areas of need in your life like money & finance, relationships and many more. What you need to do is learn and fill your heart and mind with God’s Precious Pure Words regarding the matter that concerns you. Then apply the principles I taught in this lesson.

SENT IN CHRIST LOVE,
Evangelist Emmanuel Salvador

P. S. Friend, if you are not a child of God because you have not been born again, this teaching is not for you. Not because I don’t want it for you but rather because these Truths are for God’s true children only. The Holy Bible makes a distinction between the “children of God” and the “children of the Devil” (1 John 3:8 & 10).
But I want this to be very clear that the God of Holy Scriptures desires everyone to become His child. And this is only through the “New Birth” as taught by the LORD Jesus Christ himself in John 3:1-7 KJV. Thus, I am attaching my message on “The Imperative of the New Birth”. I strongly suggest that you study it and make sure that you are “born again”. Love, Pastor Manny!

EXTRA MONEY ANYONE?

4th August 2011
Dear Christian Worker:

Do you ever think of ways to possibly help add to your limited financial resources? Or are you one of those in ministry who have “more than enough” when it comes to finances/money?

Most of those in so-called “full time ministry” find themselves short of finances. I for one, at this time in my Christian life, desire to be able to earn ADDITIONAL money to help fulfill the mandate of the LORD upon my life as an Evangelist and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20 KJV). To many, the need is to help meet the pressing family needs like food, clothing and education for their children.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not questioning ones faith in the ability of the LORD to provide for His workers in the ministry. I believe though that we can trust the LORD to lead us to some legitimate and clean ways and means of raising money to help finance the work of the ministry and help meet the needs of God’s called servants.

Once, a few years ago in Brooklyn, New York, I asked a Christian African-American lady whether ministers and workers in the LORD’s vineyard needs money to be able to do works of ministry? She categorically replied ‘NO’. I then gave her an example to counter her answer.

I said that if I need to be in Jersey City, New Jersey to visit and minister to the spiritual needs, say, of a Christian family, I must be able to go to their home. Now, coming from Brooklyn, New York City, I definitely need money for gasoline in order for my van to bring me to New Jersey. I also need toll money to go through the NYC tunnels or bridges. And I said that in almost all aspects of ministry, "MONEY IS NEEDED AND MONEY DOES NOT FALL FROM HEAVEN".

I believe that with the advent of modern technology and the indispensable use of computers from anywhere in the world, there are legitimate ways of earning clean, good money to help God’s workers fund their family and ministry logistical needs and requirements.

I believe that I have found a way to help me just do this. The good thing about it is that I need not shell out any money. I need only give a little of my time to do what the program says I have to do using the computer.

And then trust the LORD to possibly bring some money into my pocket to enable me to do two things: travel as an Itinerant Evangelist all over the Philippines without anyone being burdened to shoulder my travelling expenses and have some money to give to those who are in need as I minister God’s Precious Pure Word to them wherever the LORD leads me (Psalm 112; Galatians 6:9-10 KJV).
