“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”

As Darkness Continues To Descend Over The Face Of The Earth–But Why?

Donald Thomas — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 22:30:55 +0000

Why is this? How can it be that with all the cultural and language barriers that exist from one continent to another; one country to another; one city to another; one town to another; one neighborhood to another, that one thing they all have in common is the exaltation and the glorification of gross wickedness, sexual immorality and the rejection and denunciation of the “Most High God–JEHOVAH”, and the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

“You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I (JEHOVAH) ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.

You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings (Ezekiel 28:12-17).

How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God: I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High’. But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit” (Isaiah 14:12-15).

Lucifer, Morning Star, once was a high ranking cherub that stood in the presence of the Most High God–JEHOVAH, he was considered to be the most beautiful of all angelic creatures until iniquity was found in him as stated above. After his rebellion and subsequently his fall from grace and his exiled and banishment from heaven to earth, Lucifer whose name was later changed to Satan (slanderer, accuser) has waged an all out war against JEHOVAH GOD, Jesus Christ, and the saints that follow and worship JEHOVAH (Revelations 12:17).

JESUS CHRIST: The Risen Sun That Continually Gives “True Light” To The Whole World!

Donald Thomas — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 21:28:22 +0000

Jesus Christ is still reaching out to all of mankind to receive salvation today. Jesus suffered tremendously and endured agonizing pain just for us. Satan fought Him every step of the way and persecuted Him unmercifully throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry. However, the truth is although Satan had Jesus publicly executed to humiliate and destroy Him before a large crowd of people; yet Jehovah had already glimpse this occurrence and used this event not only to draw new disciples unto Jesus but also to use His death and the blood that He would shed for the atoning of the sins of the whole world. Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah God!

It is the precious blood of Jesus Christ that washed away the sins of the world and because of that His is the only name under heaven by which men can be saved (John 14:6).Jesus Christ is unmistakeably the Saviour of the whole world. There is no other name or person under heaven that has the power and the glory to save anyone except for the name Jesus. And it is because of the love that is in Jesus that we are not bound and enslaved under satanic darkness without any real hope and chance of deliverance. Jesus Christ broke all satanic strongholds and chains that held men in captivity—you don’t have to remain bound and gagged by darkness unless of course you choose to remain in that state yourself.

Jesus Christ is still reaching out today just as He was when He walked the earth teaching and preaching the gospel over two thousand years earlier. None of us have to continue in darkness, bound and gagged by evil spirits any longer. Jesus is calling out to each and every one of us daily—all day long! Through His deep love for us He keeps calling and calling really wanting each one of us to receive salvation and turn away from a sinful and wicked lifestyle and be baptize and receive the “Holy Spirit”.

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”

“In A Fear Inspiring Way We Are Wonderfully Made”

Donald Thomas — Mon, 31 May 2010 17:03:38 +0000

When a child is conceived no one understands how he/she is formed in the womb. No one. There are very intelligent men who have sought to find out how a baby is formed in the womb and no one fully understands to this day. No one has been able to explain what all take place in the development of a fetus. It is simply amazing and truly unknowable how we are created, but it is no mystery about who created us.

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over earth, and over all the creatures that move along the grounds’ ” (Genesis 1:26). If you believe in the “Holy Scriptures” then it is no doubt in your mind that God created man in his own image and likeness.

Witchcraft: An Ancient Abomination That Has Been Given An Attractive Facelift In Modern Times

Witchcraft: An Ancient Abomination That Has Been Given An Attractive Facelift In Modern Times

Who could ever forget the fun and enchanting television series “Bewitched” that ran from 1964-1972? What about all those much loved characters like Darrin Stephens (Dick York), Larry Tate (David/Daniel White), Aunt Clara (Marion Lorne), Endora (Agnes Moorehead), Mrs.Kravitts (Alice Pearce) and her husband Abner (George Tobias), and of course the beautiful and delectable Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery), the star of the show. Even today the show still has a cult like following around the world. Although it is now in syndication the show continues to pick up new generation followers with the passing of time.

I remember watching and waiting intently to see Samantha twitch her nose and produce some more astounding feats. Before “Bewitched”, I often thought of witches as ugly and gruesome, not beautiful and alluring—except for the good witch of the west—Glenda, who was in one of the most cherished and adored movies of all time, “The Wizard (witchcraft/sorcerer) Of Oz”. Other than those two I always visualized witches as being old and ugly with the ability to do you much harm; they frightened me and were the source of many nightmares in my childhood.

But what does the word of Jehovah God say about witchcraft and those who practice it? How does God Almighty view witches and witchcraft and what instructions, if any, does He give his people concerning this matter? Is it something that Jehovah God approves and should we all be witches and practice witchcraft if He does?

Well, let’s find out through His “Holy Word” just how Jehovah feels about it and what are His instructions to us, if any, and what position are we to take regarding witchcraft?Read “Witchcraft”

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”
