'Blind peoples meet the Christ while Caroling'
'the light shone in the darkness'
|
|
"I am not that
light but I was sent to bear witness of that
light"....ref/John 1:8. |
It was Wednesday night, it was
the 22.12.2010 and we were readying ourselves for our
Wednesday night teaching session on the Christ and his
Word, followed by a meal and then all left over foods
would go to the men, women and children living in the parks
and streets of Bacolod City in the Philippines.
And along came a group of carolers outside the Mission
singing their Christmas songs. Songs that I personally
myself don't listen to usually not willfully anyway and
opportunity knocked (the time of their visitation
came) for the saving of these dear gullible
souls .....click. |
However I did get to clapping as
they pumped out a Christian song about Jesus coming from
the heavens to the earth to show us the Way-Doctrine,
that one was quite acceptable but still not my style or
fancy.......I am more of a hymn man myself and endeavour
to lead others in the same way, the safe way, the way of
salvation for the soul to the uttermost.
I HAVE SET YOU TO BE A LIGHT (A TRUE-KNOWLEDGE GIVER
AND SPIRITUAL GUIDE) TO THE GENTILES, THAT YOU
SHOULD BE USED FOR (AN INSTRUMENT IN THEIR)
SALVATION TO (WHEREVER I SEND YOU) THE ENDS OF
THE EARTH....REF/ACTS 13:47, JEREMIAH 3:15. |
Within the group of six
Carolers there were 'three blind people', the one
with the guitar was the leading blind man and when they
had finished their songs I then asked them if they would
pray with me and asked Jesus to forgive them of their
sins and they all responded, with a yes and
OK......so we prayed a group prayer of repentance and
the outcome was from the group, the very first words
that left their mouths were...'let's sing a
Christian song this time'....amazing
the difference holy ghost makes in a persons thinking,
isn't it? This was when they ceased the Carols and got
into the ...'Jesus came from heaven to earth to
show us the Way, Doctrine' song, well, I got
rejoicing with a hand clap then and gave the wife a hug
of rejoicing in the Christ at the same time.
A baby in straw, Messianic or otherwise can do nothing
for anyone, for a baby is totally dependant on its
parents. However, it was when the Christ gave up the
ghost as the 'sacrificial lamb' that he
said......."It is now All Finished and
Accomplished" in him the substance, not the
shadowy Sabbath's of old kept by religious
peoples........click.
And no longer will you have to 'try
your best' and fail miserably every time but simply
follow-obey me says the lord Jesus the Christ by the
power of holy ghost. This may very well be exactly why
the Christ said to remember his victorious death, burial
and resurrection and not his birthday, what do you
reckon?........Amen?......ref/Click. |

These blessed souls also got the
baptism of the 'Holy Ghost and Fire' with
the laying on of hands into the bargain....the complete
package, surely a present that no Santy/alias Nick or
reviling human could ever provide. Yes, 'tis so
sweet to trust in Jesus!.....just to have
bible-believing-faith-obedience in what he says.....ref/Luke
11:13.
We could say, what a lovely finish to 2010 but the
truth of the matter and the whole matter is....'in
the Christ it never finishes and never will finish
because the Christ finished it all at the tree'.......I
relish in this knowledge daily, I haven't had a holiday
in 23 years ministry and I am not looking out for a
break from Messiah, His call or His reproach... I am
complete in Him, a living sacrifice, He is my peace and
my rest.......click.
Yes, I have entered into His
supernatural-rest through faith-obedience to his
ways-doctrine and now I have rest from all things even
myself. I have resigned to the Messianic-Truth that
JTCM-Mission is not called to comfort but to follow the
Comforter/the Paraclete/Holy Ghost come what may. It is
no longer I that live my life as I please and plan my
agenda but the Christ is living through 'me an earthen
vessel' for his names sake and my salvation to the
uttermost.........ref/Romans 12:1, 2, Ecclesiastes
12:13, 2 Corinthians 5:14-16.
Messiah wonderfilled rest is only for the 'Peoples
of God-Yahweh' the bonafide saints, holy
remnant, no compromiser, lukewarm, apostate or traitor
will ever know of or taste this wonderfilled rest.....ref/Hebrews
4:9.......Selah..........click

The Spirit of the Christ is
upon me!....and in me.
