“Curse God and Die” When Our Anger Is Directed at God!

Donald Thomas — Mon, 30 May 2011 18:56:04 +0000

How many times have we become so angry with God that we felt like we were about to explode? And how many times we have verbally assaulted God because we felt our prayers weren’t answered or completely ignored? It is not uncommon for people to feel disappointment or out and out rejection because of our situation and the things that are affecting our lives and/or lives of our love ones.

Time and time again many of us have lashed out at God because of circumstances we often find ourselves in. As long as we are experiencing prosperity and enjoying safe refuge we are at peace with the world around us including God, but as soon as disaster comes knocking at our door we are so quick to curse God and denounce all that He is and has ever been.

JEHOVAH GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT: YESTERDAY AND TODAY

Donald Thomas — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:31:15 +0000

Long before the creation of mankind; long before the creation of heaven and earth and the seas, the Holy Spirit existed. In fact, it has never not existed, if you will. It is part of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit emanates from God the Father and is in total union with the Father and the Son. Although it is always in complete agreement with the Father and the Son, it is an entity in and of itself just like the Son–Jesus Christ (John 14:6-21).

The Holy Spirit has many attributes and qualities that has proven to be conflicting for some. For instance, it has power that in many cases has imbued some of God’s servants in both the old and new testament to accomplish feats that would have been impossible for humans to duplicate (Exodus 31:1-11; Matthew 1:18). Before the death and resurrection of Jesus the Holy Spirit would come upon God’s servants and enable them with the power to accomplish a task, but after Jesus’ death and resurrection and ascension back into heaven (from whence he came) the Holy Spirit would make His dwelling within the servants of Jehovah (Yahweh) God (John 14:25; 16:5-16).

As Christians and disciples of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we have been blessed with the added assurance of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us as well as guiding us and instructing us what to do and say; when to do; how to do, and where to do what God Almighty has given us to do (Acts4:8; 8:26; 13:1-11).

The Holy Spirit is the free gift (Acts 8:9-24) that Jehovah God gives to His servants, and only His servants (not the world) who are devoted disciples of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today, the Holy Spirit which is known by several names: Spirit of Christ; the Comforter; God’s Spirit; Spirit of the Lord; Counselor, and Spirit of truth is just as active in true believers and true worshipers since the day of Pentecost. Servants of God are not left without the promise that Jesus made to his disciples concerning the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (John 12:15-21; Luke 24:49,50).

Regardless of what many will say and have said negatively concerning the Holy Spirit–the truth has already been spoken by Jesus Christ concerning the Holy Spirit, and it is the truth that will set you free (John 8:31,32). Satan the devil, the arch enemy of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) vehemently attacks the word of God to discredit it in every possible way that he can, and with the intentions of eventually destroying it entirely. He has been Jehovah God’s chief antagonist since iniquity (wickedness) was first found in him (Ezekiel 28:12-17). Read “God’s Holy Spirit: Yesterday and Today”

A Tree and Its Fruit: Watching The Things We Do As Christians

Donald Thomas — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:50:16 +0000

When you think of false prophets you might not think of yourself, but after receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and confessing Him publicly only to turn around and follow Satan (devil); you do no less. False prophets claim to belong to Jesus Christ and they continually confess Him as their Lord and Saviour vigorously.

However, their actions prove false to the claims they make. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). Arrogance, haughtiness, pride, and insolence are just a few of the characteristics of a false prophet. Jesus went on to say, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God,” (Matthew 5:9).

As Christians we cannot rage and rant at others and expect not to bring reproach on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Christians are earthly representatives of Christ and when we give in to the desires of the flesh we bring reproach on Jehovah God our creator and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who died on the cross for the remissions of our sins (Romans 5: 8-11).

Apostle Paul stated, “In your anger do not sin”; Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26). In order for us to be pleasing to Jehovah God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we must become ‘peacemakers’. We cannot afford to allow our anger to run wild (Proverbs 29:11), “for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires according to James, the author of the book of James in the “Holy Bible” (James 1:20).

Jesus Christ Is Still Calling Out To A Dying World–2010

Donald Thomas — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:38:37 +0000

It’s now been over two thousand years since Jesus Christ walked the roads from Galilee to Jerusalem and from Nazareth to Bethany, and many other points between and beyond. He was driven to get the word out that He had been sent into the world by His Father (Yahweh/Jehovah God) to deliver the people from bondage (Satanic enslavement) and to show them the way unto salvation and the kingdom of God (Isaiah 61:1-2).

Today the word of God (Jehovah) still resonates around the world from Canada to Costa Rica; from China to the United States and everywhere else the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached throughout the earth and its message is the same as it was over two thousand years ago: “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 4:17),” …and receive salvation” (Luke 1: 77). Jesus Christ disciples have been instructed by Him to preach the gospel around the world, and set free the captives who are held in bondage by Satan the devil (Matthew 28: 18-20).

Soldiers Of Darkness: Following The Commands Of Their Chief Commander: Satan the Devil

Donald Thomas — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:28:10 +0000

Never before in the history of mankind has the earth been so heavily populated with people—people who oppose the will and word of Jehovah God and His Son Jesus Christ. Never before has the opposition and antagonism against Christianity been so broad and venomous as it is today.

In many parts of the world Christianity as a religion is banned, and professing Christians are persecuted, and in many instances publicly put to death to frighten would be worshipers from accepting Christianity as their religion. Many governments world wide have set manifestos that declare Christianity as an enemy of their nation, and have banned the bible as well as those who would dare to teach it.Read “Soldiers Of Darkness”

Jesus Christ: The Precious Lamb Of Jehovah God

Donald Thomas — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:39:34 +0000

Several thousand years before Jesus Christ came into the world a prophecy about His coming had already taken place (Genesis 3:15). Many prophets spoke about the coming of the messiah (anointed one) as they were given utterance by the Holy Spirit.

Moses (Genesis 3:15; Deuteronomy 18:15,18), King David (Psalms 2, 16, 22, 110), Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; 11; 42:1-4; 52:13-15; 53; 61:1-3), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 23:5,6), and Micah (Micah 5:2) spoke about the coming of the messiah. Jehovah’s (Yahweh) prophets would make passionate proclamations about the coming of the messiah and the work He was going to do. They were forerunners under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, speaking about future events that were to take place many, many years later.Read “The Precious Lamb Of Jehovah God–Jesus Christ”

Christians’ Persecution Throughout The World—But Remain Strong Unto The End

Donald Thomas — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:03:05 +0000

Never before since the beginning of Christianity has so much opposition been level against Christianity as a religion and against Christians who profess and follow this religion. Individuals, organizations, opposing religions, and even many governments around the world have mandates and manifestos that oppose the teaching, preaching, and the following of this religion.

Christians who dare to practice their beliefs in such hostile lands are often intimidated, imprisoned, physically beaten, unmercifully tortured, and in too many cases put to death simply because of their beliefs and practices. Many Christians are persecuted day and night without any legal recourse. Thousands have lost all of their worldly possessions including homes and vehicles as well.

It’s not uncommon for Christians to be fired from their jobs without an explanation whatsoever. Some have had their businesses confiscated and illegally taken away from them without a reason. In many places Christians do not have the same protection under the law as their neighbors and fellow countrymen. And it is sad to say that because of such harsh and unfair treatment some Christians give in and give up. Read “Christians Remain Strong Unto The End”

The Battlefield: Take Your Stance and Stand Firm—In Jesus Name

Donald Thomas — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:12:25 +0000

We are on a battlefield, the entire earth is a battlefield where we as disciples of Christ are locked in a life and death battle that extends far beyond a mere physical death. We are in a battle that will determine where we stand as soldiers and where we will spend eternity. Make no mistake about it Satan has unleashed an all out attack against mankind but especially against those who choose to follow Jesus Christ and walk according to Jehovah’s (Yahweh/YHWH)) commandments.

We cannot afford to let our guard down for one moment because Satan is looking for an opportunity to slay us both spiritually and physically…and he will never, ever give up on that mission. His goal is to take us down physically and spiritually and silence us once and for all, and to lead us down the road of eternal damnation where we will be forever shut out from the love of Jehovah God and His Son Jesus Christ.

To avoid such a terrible and frightening outcome you must repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today. Jesus is still calling out to the world to save them from their sins. Jesus died on the cross for the remission of our sins—not His. He gave His life up to save mankind from eternal damnation and everlasting destruction by atoning for our sins when He suffered the agonizing death on the cross…and through His stripes (beating) we are healed. Hallelujah! Read “The Battlefield”

“Friend, Wherefore Art Thou Come”? When We Betray Jesus, Our Only True Friend

Donald Thomas — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:20:18 +0000

“While He (Jesus) was still speaking, Judas one of the Twelve (Apostles) arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: ‘The one I kiss is the man; arrest him’. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, ‘Greetings, Rabbi!’ and kissed him” (Matthew 26:47-49).

Many of us are quick to point out the betrayal of Jesus Christ by one of His apostles, Judas Iscariot, and how wicked and despicable it was. Throughout the world and especially over in the middle east, one of the worst things a man can do is betray someone that has befriended (eaten and fellowshipped together) him. It is considered by many as the ultimate act of deceit and deception.

Upon receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, it was, and is, imperative that we put on the whole ‘Armour of God’ (Ephesians 6:10-18): “Stand firm then, with the truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”, the apostle Paul warned fellow Christians. Read “When We Betray Christ All Over Again”

As “Born Again” Christians We Must Not Grieve The Holy Spirit

Donald Thomas — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:33:55 +0000

Though our sins have been washed away with the precious blood of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ (John 3:16), we must not use this special gift that Jehovah God has given to His children through the suffering and death of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ as a license to do evil without fear of condemnation (Romans 3:8).

Apostle Paul stated, “For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him” (Hebrews 1:2,3).Read “Born Again Christians”
