New Apostles Voice

Every born again Christian has been set free from the kingdom of Satan's darkness and are now living in the kingdom of light, the kingdom of God's dear Son, Jesus Christ. The Lord's anointing of freedom is upon every child of God. We read about the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, which anoints all true believers, from Luke chapter 4 verses 18 and 19. God's children are also empowered to preach and witness the gospel, to unbelievers. They can also announce pardon and forgiveness so that the scales of unbelief are removed from the understanding, of unbelievers. Those who live in the blindness of this world, that is all those who are oppressed by the flesh, the world and the devil, can now live in God's glorious light. This can be the very day of salvation that God's favour flows, to all mankind, willing to believe!

After the Fall, in the Garden of Eden, all of mankind became sinners and were reduced to living in the dark world of sin empowered by Satan and His demonic hosts. Mankind had fallen from his graceful fellowship with God and all had now become enslaved. However, there were some faithful people such as Enoch and Noah, from the first world, before the Flood, who were still able to have fellowship, with their Creator God. Mankind, as a whole, was in cruel bondage to sin and its cruel ways until the advent of Jesus Christ, into man's fallen world. When Jesus died on the Cross and then rose again, mans' penalty for sin, was broken. All who believed in Him were now set free and were able to be resurrected, with Him and their sins forgiven. They were born again children, of God, who, from the moment they believed, were then able to have fellowship and also able to live with God, for eternity.

Christians are a separated people from the unsaved world around them. Does that make them a special people? It sure does! They have been willing to repent of their sins and failures and have had their spirit person, their eternal them, recreated in the likeness of God and have become one of God's children, for eternity. Were they always special? Yes and no is the problematical answer. Because they were willing to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they were then elected by God the Father, and recreated by the Holy Spirit, to become one of His special chosen people. This means that their old sin nature had been recreated or born again. God's chosen ones began their earthly life like everyone else, on earth. Their inherited sin nature was in bondage to Satan and was a slave of sin. When they repented they were born again and have become a separate person of Almighty God.

Before God's throne in heaven, every person, who has ever or will ever live on earth, has been or will be found guilty of sinning against God and His laws of holiness and righteousness. Not one of us is capable, in our own ideas or understanding, to be a perfect person, able to stand innocently, before a righteous God. However, we can become one of His righteous children, by repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus Christ, as our personal Lord and Saviour. Through the precious blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary, we can be cleansed and our spirit or our old sin nature can be recreated by the Holy Spirit, so that we become a new creation, as a child of God. If we don't repent, we remain guilty as a sinner, before God. Don't be guilty of being an unrepentant sinner!

God's Work Is Important It is vital that God's children learn to first ask the Holy Spirit, then listen to what He tells their spirit then finally carry out the plans of God, according to His will and purposes and not their own. It is so important to be willing to put aside what our mind would like to do and not only be willing to listen but to obey the instructions of the Holy Spirit. This will always be in line with the revelation knowledge of God's word, the Holy Bible. Always call upon the Lord and remember to do God's work, His way and not your own.

Human beings have been created by God, to be able to speak or confess, their thoughts and knowledge in a logical and audible manner. They are able to confess both good and bad words in an intelligible and known language to each other. It is a God given characteristic that enables mankind to be on a plane of communication that is vastly superior, to the rest of God's earthly creation. When you are born again you repent of your sins and confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. In the marriage ceremony, you confess your love for your wife or husband. When you buy a property you confess your bank balance to your financier. Christians need to regard the confession of God's word, over all their circumstances, as an incredibly prized possession. Confession must be wisely guarded and based on the Holy Spirit's directions and the word of God. Human beings are the only part of earthly creation that are able to talk to their Creator, through their spirit.

God has promised His richest blessings upon all His children, who obey the Holy Spirit's directions and constantly accept His promises, from His word, the Holy Bible, to them, personally. God is a wonderful Father, who has given promises to His children, to protect and provide for their life, on earth. Belief in His promises will bring His eternal blessings. These blessings are in abundance for those who read, meditate, confess and apply His wisdom, to their daily lives. I have made a selection from God's myriad promises and blessings to, His redeemed children.

According to Colossians chapter 3 verses 1 to 4 we are to always seek to do God's will. These New Testament words confirm what is written in Amos chapter 5 verses 4 to 6. We are to seek the heavenly things of the Lord. Christ is seated above; sitting at the right hand of the Father. This is also where all born again Christians, are also seated, together, with Him, in His resurrection power. Don't let yourself be too involved, in the things of the world but rather set your mind on things above, where the Lord is seated. You died to self when you yielded your life to the Lord. This enabled you to become a recreated child of God, through the unction of the Holy Spirit. Your life is now hidden, forever, with Christ, in fellowship with your Father God. When Christ comes for every born again believer, because we are living in and through Him, who is our life, we will then appear with Him, in His glory, forever!

Those people who desire to live in God's wisdom that is provided by the Holy Spirit's revelation knowledge, are able to do so. They are given real understanding that all Christians need to know. We read from Proverbs chapter 10 verse 13a that true wisdom is spoken from the lips of those who have godly, understanding. As human beings we must not think, say or act upon the wisdom and understanding of our mind or the minds of other people. We must seek the wisdom that the Holy Spirit provides to the spirit of all born again children of God. These are those people who are willing to listen to the understanding of the Holy Spirit's revelation of God's word, the Holy Bible.

In Leviticus chapter 25 verse 21 God commanded His blessings upon the crop production of Israel, if they obeyed Him. He would enable them to have a seventh year of rest in which no crops were sown. In obedience, to His agricultural laws, they would have sufficient grain for the next three years. Every country, on earth, that has arable land, should be able to produce an abundance of crops so as to satisfy the food needs, of that nation. Only food that can not be grown easily, in their country, because of its specific climate specifications, should have to import any food. However, to do so, each nation must be willing to follow God's guidelines. Herein lies the agricultural problem, for most nations.

Every born again believer is a child of God. Our spirit has been recreated by the Holy Spirit to have fellowship with God the Father and God the Son through the Holy Spirit indwelling their spirit. Mankind, is a tripartite being composed of a spirit, a soul and a body. People are the only part of God's creation that have been made like God to communicate with God, their Creator. Those who have repented of their sins and have accepted Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Saviour, have their fellowship with God, reinstated, as was God's original plan. This was before Satan, the fallen archangel, brought his plot of evil and deception, into the world. He first beguiled Eve and then Adam wilfully accepted his deception. Satan then became the ruler of this created world and people became subjects of the kingdom of darkness.

Christians can read, meditate upon, confess and apply God's word during their rest time according to Psalm 4 verse 8. Because we are able to cast all our cares upon the Lord we are able to lie down in His overwhelming peace and go off, calmly, in His safety, to sleep. The Lord is the only One who enables us to lie down in His safety. This certainly solves the sleep and rest problem if we are willing to listen to and repeat His comforting words, from the Holy Bible. Let Him be your burden bearer and stop trying to carry your anxious load of cares for it will crush your spirit and soul. You must not let Satan and the fears of the world, disturb your rest.

Everyone who is born on planet earth, from a mother's womb, is born as either a male or female gender. However, everyone is first born a person in the flesh until they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and repent of their sins. At this point their heart or spirit is recreated, by the Holy Spirit, so that when they leave this earth, they are redeemed and are born again and go to live with God, in heaven. However, if they remain unrepentant and are not born again, by the Spirit of God, they instead go to hell, forever. To be made born again through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the recreation of their spirit, by the Holy Spirit, is the only pathway to eternal life.

Every human being has so many needs. Needs are those things that you cannot live without! They include air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to dwell in as well as a place to work and of course, good friendship and love. However there is one need that is far greater than any other need. Jesus Christ has created every human being, who has ever lived, is now living and will be created in the future. He loves them all, particularly those who love Him, those who are His born again children. Those people who have not given their lives to the Lord, have as their greatest need, to desire a willingness to repent of their sins and accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.

All Christians, who are born again, because they have repented of their sins and have received Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Saviour and are then baptised, by the Holy Spirit, into the body of Christ, are the one true church of God the Father. This we read about from Mark chapter 1 verses 7 and 8. Many people associate themselves with believers and call themselves Christians but have never repented of their sins are not born again nor can they be baptised with the Holy Spirit. There are many people, who do not highly regard reading God's word, the Holy Bible, that fall into this category. They follow in the form of cults or false sections of Christian denominations. Unfortunately they are not born again believers, in Christ and His atonement, for their sins.

We change the title from an exclamation of joy to a question mark of doubt. Many born again Christians do not recognise the significance of their salvation as compared to when they were an unregenerate spirit. They think through their mind, as part of their soul, that surely they can't really be righteous! After all there are times when they still miss it and often not intentionally. True righteousness means that we have right standing with God. Often we just don't fully comprehend that it is their spirit that has been recreated, by the Holy Spirit, when they repented and they themselves must do something about their soul and body. We are commanded to bring our soul and body, in line with the directions of the Holy Spirit and the word of God.

During the course of thousands of years and now in the twenty first century, billions of people have lived in the bondage and deceit of Satan's kingdom of darkness. When the light of God's kingdom came to the jungles of Africa, the interior regions of North America and the desert plains of Australia millions of lives were forever changed by the light of God's word, the Holy Bible. People from all races and places of the world have had their lives changed from darkness to light when they repented and were saved, from their sins. At this point in their life they gained entry into eternal life. They were and are now children of God instead of slaves of Satan.

The greatest failure in the world is not a lack of finance, although that is often a major problem. Other important issues can be a lack of adequate housing or being hungry at mealtimes. Sometimes there is even a lack of sufficient medical facilities or proper medical treatment. However, it can never be as big or near as important as the greatest failure that can happen to any human being. The biggest problem is not directly associated with our flesh or even our soul. The greatest problem is an eternal problem, of the spirit, of a person. This problem is a failure to know about or accept Jesus Christ as a personal Lord and Saviour. This is a problem of unbelief which effects the eternal life of all who don't believe in God and His word.

The love of God is real and it is pure with no hang ups and it exists now and forever. God has created billions of people to live and appreciate His great majesty and goodness and to also live to learn and love Himself and other people. In return He has given His children, all those that turn to Him, the ability to be like Him and fulfil His amazing purposes in their lives, for eternity. He is our sustainer and provider and above all else, the wonderful lover of all who love Him and His righteous ways. He is also the great healer and deliverer of all of His children. He will never turn anyone away, who is willing to repent of their sins and turn one hundred and eighty degrees towards His love and compassion, that He daily pours out upon His beloved children.

Never keep looking backward to the past. You never can bring the past, forward nor can you alter your past. It is gone forever! Your most important task is the present which enables you to hear God's voice, speaking to your spirit, about your future. It is your tomorrow or your future that really matters! Everyone who obeys what the Lord tells them to do, will have a wonderful future. Your ultimate destination is in heaven with the Lord and will last forever. It is a future so wonderful that no one, who is a born again Christian, can even comprehend, while on earth! Always look forward; never look back.
