We are Christians

Let us be united in Spirit:
When trouble comes people can go to two different directions. Like when there is earthquakes, flood or any kind of natural disasters,or any kind of terrorist attack; people will say 'oh this is God's punishment'. But as a Christian person we can take different approach also. It is the time to be strong. The coming of our Lord is very near and as it is getting nearer and nearer these types of things will happen and it will happen in quick succession.
So our lesson from this is rather then fighting let us be strong in spirit. Let us come together in one spirit. These earthquakes or flood or anything are not going to remove our faith which is in Christ Jesus (our Lord and Savior).As Paul pointed out in Romans 8:35-36"Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation,or distress,or persecution,or famine,or nakedness,or peril,or sward?"
America was born on the very ground of that faith.This nation has shown everybody what 'Faith' is.
Let us be strong in spirit. Let us together hit big punch right on satan's face. We are not going to give up. We are Christians. We are winners. We are the children of the Most Holy God.

Amen

Are we prepared?

Matthew 24 and Luke 21:10-36
"Uprising in Labia and Egypt.Earthquake in New Zealand and Japan.Tsunami in Japan".
When we are getting all this news from the media people will start saying:"Jesus Christ is coming soon".And I will be saying the same thing.But what next?
Are we prepared?
This type of things happen before and people were saying the same thing"Jesus is coming soon" but what happen after some time.?Everybody got busy in their own life and may be "Jesus' return got delayed (in their mind)"
Jesus never said only remember my second coming when the big events take place.Infect he taught His people in the Lord's prayer "Thy kingdom come"He wants us to remember His coming everyday all the time.So what we learn from all of this?
1)Anticipate Jesus' coming every second.
2)Attempt to live like He is coming soon.
3)Advice others to live like He is coming soon.
Let us not forget our gracious Lord has given us this time of peace for the very purpose to turn back ti Him and worship Him only.It's been long we been gone away.Let us turn back to our Lord.
May God give us the heart of burning desire to do everything that we can to 1)pray and 2)get ready more people for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.Amen

Lets learn from Nehemiah Part - II

Nehemiah 2:17-18
1)Nehemiah told them about the condition of the city of Jerusalem.
* Knowing present conditions:
It is very important to know the present condition.we are so busy with our own work with our own problems.About the condition of the stocks and our 401k.Do we bother thinking about the spiritual conditions and whats going on in our country spiritually?Do you know:
a)In May a federal judge ruled out that National Day of prayer is unconstitutional.
b)Last week another federal judge said the law about the same sex marriage is unconstitutional.
c)There are more people believe now that there are more then one way to go to heaven.
d)More couples are living together(as husband and wife) without getting married then ever before.
2)Neh 2:18.He told them about the promises of the king and the help he promises to give.
* The promises of the king:
Don't be afraid we have the King of kings.He promised us not to worry and go weary.Before He was taken away in to the heaven He told His disciple "All authorities has been given to me in heaven and on earth..........I will be with you always even to the end of the age"
Why we are afraid?why we are disappointed?why we are loosing heart?why we are falling back?
The King of kings is with us.
APPLICATION:
Neh 2:18b Having heard everything people said :Let us arise and build"
So let us arise and start building our country.Our Lord is with us.We have His promises and His strength.Don't loose heart.It is time to be strong.No matter what happen we will still build and will bring this country back to Jesus.No political leader can stop us.No judge will stop us.We will be strong and we will build.
Amen

Lets learn from Nehemiah

Reading:Nehemiah 1:4-11
1)He grieved:
v-4.Nehemiah said:"I sat down and wept and mourn for days and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven"
He loved his people and his land so much he could not see it's bad condition.
2)He came to the right person.
v-5.Nehemiah went straight to God of heaven."I beseech you o Lord God of heaven"
It is very important thing that he went to right person.He didn't go to his king,the king of Babel.He didn't go to other kings or the god of other people.But he went to the God of heaven he knows that only He has the power to fix the mess that they are in.
3)Confession:
v-6 & 7.Nehemiah not only confesses his people's sin but he confesses his sin also."I and my father's house have sinned.......we have not kept your commandments"
Nehemiah knew where was the problem.He confesses sins.He knows that the problem is with them.God who is just and all powerful not to be blame.He knows the meaning of the John's words:I John 1:9"If we confess our sins He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"
4)Mercy petition:
Like he is bringing mercy petition to God.v 8-11"Lord I beseech you"
He is reminding those words of Moses to God(God never forgets)."If you come to me and keep my commandments.......I will gather them...."He is claiming God's promises.

For all the people who loves this country.Let us learn for Nehemiah.We have seen and heard the spiritual condition of this country.How long we will sit back and do nothing.The time has come to do something about it.Nehemiah brought the mercy petition let us all bring the mercy petition to God.Let us confess our sins .And let us pray together as Nehemiah prayed:
"O Lord I beseech you may your ear be attentive to the prayers of your servants who delight to rever your name"
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen

Revival in America

When I think about revival it gives me some kind of electrical feeling inside.But what is really revival means.We have heard this word so many times for most of the time in the spiritual sense.There is a talk about big revival in England by Wesley brothers also we know about the great revival by D.L.Moody and Finney.We might stretch our memory to present days and we can recall Billy Graham doing revival crusades.
But what about now?
Why even we have to talk about revival or spiritual awakening?
Do we really need it?
And if we need it then the question is why?
Let me give you some of the reasons that we need revival in America and why.
1)If you look at the spiritual condition of this country in last 50 years it is deteriorating.
2)The immunity level of the spiritual body of this country is constantly going down.
3)The visit to the physician is increased dramatically.
4)It has started taking more medication lately.
5)And after all this things rather then go to the right physician we have gone to different "so called physicians.
These are just a few reasons.I can tell you more.
Listen what the word of God tells us in Isiah 7:13 "Is it not enough to try the patience of men?Will you try the patience of my God also?"
Revive o people of God in America,turn your back and turn to Jesus.There is still hope.Let us arise and build as Nehemiah told his people.I am telling you today let us build our country.
