JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 490

SAINT PETER SAID TO JESUS......LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO IF WE LEAVE YOU?.....YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.....JOHN 6:68.

 I SOUGHT AND I FOUND!
(the doctrine that delivers)
My name is Gavin Michael McLean and I write today to testify in evidence and support of the one in whom I put my trust, Jesus the Christ. My very present help in time of trouble, who provides all my needs according to his riches which are infinite......written/3.7.2009......Revelation 12:1-17, Isaiah 66:2......click.

As I look back on my life all I see is Jesus waiting for me to 'truly' repent, turn from sin and follow him on his terms. I was sentenced to six and half years jail of which I served four and a half years for bank robbery. I also attempted suicide twice failing both times by the grace of God, this gave me time to repent of my sins. This is my story and I hope it can be helpful to you.....Matthew 3:8, Acts 26:20.

I was born-again at the age of 12 at Garden City Christian Church (the now Hillsong Church Brisbane) in 1988. Water baptised by full immersion on Mother's Day at the age of 21.......click.

However, I realise now that I was one of the many who were deceived by the (denominational) winds of doctrine by the trickery of religious men and women who in their cunning craftiness forever lie in wait to deceive many, few find the narrow gate ......Ephesians 4:14...click.

But by the grace of God I have managed to stand by faith, believing all along that there remains a seed/doctrine for which my heart yearned, the true doctrine of the Christ, the doctrine that is able to deliver from known sin, cleanse and strengthen.....Romans 9:29, 1Peter 1:23.

And seeking to find this teaching, by the power of holy ghost Father led me to a paddock, pasture, little church that fed me truth, understanding, knowledge and mercy. Pastor Paul Sheehan a man who has the doctrine of the Christ taught me how important doctrine is to being saved to the uttermost. Paul is a man who is not afraid to expose the heretics and false teachers of Christendom, who promote a gospel that is not able to deliver people from known sin once and for all......Romans 6:15-23, Jeremiah 3:15, 8:7, 1 Timothy 4:16......click.

Even as Micah the prophet sought for righteous fellowship so did I for many years and now I have found it, remembering that there is only a berry here and a berry there, few find the narrow gate....Micah 7:1-7, Matthew 7:13,14, Galatians 1:8.

There will be a thorough purging of his threshing floor/church before he/Jesus returns, are you willing to be purged/cleansed, readied as a bride/virgin waits for her groom, without spot, wrinkle or blemish?.....Now is the time of salvation, now is the time to repent....Luke 24:47, Luke 6:46, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10, Matthew 3:12 .......click.
