Skillet’s Lead John Cooper Wages War Against Deconstruction Christian Movement

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Christian rock band Skillet’s lead singer, John Cooper, has called believers to wage war against the deconstruction Christian movement.

John Cooper

During the Winter Jam in Des Moines, Iowa, John urges Christians to declare war against the deconstruction Christian Movement. According to GotQuestion.org, the deconstruction movement involves the process of “questioning, doubting, and ultimately rejecting aspects of Christian faith.” To make it simple, John defined the movement as divorcing Jesus Christ from the Bible.

“There is no such thing as divorcing Jesus Christ from the Bible. That is not a thing,” John said, addressing the young people in the audience. “I don’t hate those deconstructed Christians. I pray for their repentance. But listen, they have divorced themselves from God, and they want to take as many of you people as they can. And it is time for us and your generation to declare war on this idolatrous deconstruction Christian movement.”

Free From Captivity

What is written in the Bible never changes and we can never exclude Jesus Christ from the Bible. He is our hope during hard times, He is our savior who sets us free from captivity.

“And He offers us hope in a time of a pandemic, and a time of people losing their jobs, losing their hope, falling back into drug addiction and alcohol addiction and sexual immorality. Jesus offers hope. Jesus sets the captives free because of the cross.”

Let us be the generation that exalts the name of Jesus Christ!

“We need a generation of young people not ashamed to say that Jesus Christ is Lord, to Say that Jesus Christ is my Savior, that Jesus Christ is my hero.”

Man Leaves Religion After Finding The Person Of Jesus Christ

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A man born in a Shia family in Iran desperately receives Jesus Christ in his life after a Muslim friend who became a Christian shared the Gospel with him.

Shia Family

Mohamad Faridi was born and raised in Iran in a Shia family. Hence, he grew up believing that his only sole purpose in life was to satisfy Allah. To fulfill that purpose, he had to read and study every law that Islam requires. He even memorized the Quran and also prayed and fasted. It was a belief that if you memorize it, you cannot be burned in hell.

Soon after Mohamad became a teenager, he began to practice ritual flagellations to earn Allah’s approval. In this ritual, they punish themselves to pay for their sins to show how sorrowful they are. However, regardless of doing these rituals, there is only one way to secure their place in heaven—being a Jihad. In the doctrine of Islam, it means being a slave or a slain for the cause of the religion. Hence, the teen hoped to get that chance in battle when he served in the military.

Hearing About Jesus Christ For The First Time

Mohamad grew frustrated and depressed as time went by. He even thought of committing suicide but didn’t do it because he’s afraid he would end up in hell. Until one day, he met a friend he hadn’t seen since high school. But Mohamad immediately noticed something different about his friend that bothered him.

Muslim Family Turns To Jesus Christ As Their Mother Receives Healing From Breast Cancer

“He was very mellow, very peaceful. And it bothered me to the point that I said ‘What is going on with you today?’ he recalled. That’s when his friend revealed that he became a Christian.

Mohamad’s friend then shared the goodness and the love of God with him. He explained to him how his relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, totally changed his life. And for hours, Mohamad argued with him to prove him wrong. But he realized, in the end, he had nothing to stand on as a Muslim. And the way his friend talked about Jesus convinced him that he really knew God.

What happened next led Mohamad to desperately fall on his knees and asked, “What do I need to do?”

Joseph Prince Explains The Real Standard Of Holiness

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Joseph Prince explains the real standard of our holiness.

Joseph Prince

The senior pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore, Joseph Prince, reveals to us today the real standard of holiness. How can one person be called holy and what can we do to be called holy?

The evangelist started his message by emphasizing that you are the righteousness of God because of Christ.

“Believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, this is the Gospel,” he said.

Standard for Holiness

It was because of what God did on the cross for us. Christ is the reason why we are holy because He is holy. And on the cross, He took away all our sins and unrighteousness for us to live in His holiness.

“Christ was made sin with your sin. He who knew no sin, He who did no sin, in Him is no sin. He never has to recall a word, never has to retrace a step in Him. All things are beautiful and lovely and all moral excellencies converge in Him. Everything about Him is equal proportion,” he added.

Jesus Christ

Finally, Pastor Prince then revealed what is the true standard of holiness, and that’s Jesus. There’s no other standard for our holiness, He is our only standard. Not the standard of our government, our church, our family, or ourselves – Christ is our only standard for holiness.

“He is altogether lovely, His name is Jesus. The more we look at Him, the more we become like Him. Holiness is not your standard, it’s not your denominational standard, it’s not my standard. Holiness to God in Christ, He is our standard.”

For us to live a holy life, let’s just focus on Jesus because the more we get to know Him, the more we become like Him.

God’s Revelation Breaks Drug Addiction Of A Woman Wrestling Against It

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

God’s revelation from Romans 8 breaks the drug addiction of a woman who has been wrestling against it for a long time.

Bobbi Kumari

Bobbi Kumari, the founder of Living In Light, shares how a single revelation from God set her free from a drug addiction. While she was still a drug addict, she became a Christian but found it boring. Despite wanting to break free from her addiction and sinful lifestyle, she found herself constantly falling short of God’s grace.

She wrestled against her addiction for a long to make it right with the Lord, however, it just didn’t work.

“I wanted to be righteous, I wanted to be holy, I wanted a better life, I didn’t want to go to hell, I wanted to do what Jesus was asking me to do. But I found in my own strength that I just couldn’t do it,” she recalled.

Drug Addiction

Drug Addiction

Then suddenly, God led her to Romans 8 and released a revelation to Bobbi. That revelation made her understand what Jesus did for her on the cross.

“In the first verse it speaks about there being no condemnation for those that are in Christ,” Bobbi said. “Because Jesus has already paid the price. It’s what Jesus did on the cross, it’s who He is that’s going to equip me to actually stay free.”

After receiving that revelation from God, her addiction just broke off without her putting much effort into it. Jesus broke her addiction by dying on the cross for her! Today, she now ministers to those who have been on the same path as her.

“Invite Jesus into your process,” Bobbi said to those who are still struggling with addiction. “What He’s done for you and who He is will break every single chain in your life.”

Stacey Campbell Explains How The Weakness Of God Is The Most Powerful Thing About Him

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Stacey Campbells explains how the weakness of God is the most powerful thing about who He is.

Pain is egocentric

When we experience pain, it is common for us to be self-centered and it’s hard for us to think about others. However, there is someone who still thinks about others despite experiencing pain – that is Jesus Christ.

“Pain is egocentric,” Stacey highlights. “When we have pain, when we have difficulties, it’s hard to think of others. But Jesus’ desire is always for somebody else. He desires that everybody would be with Him where He is, to behold His glory.”

Jesus Christ

Stacey goes on to explain how the weakness of God displayed on the cross is the most powerful part of who He is. It was His sacrifice that purchased freedom from the enemy. It was during His suffering that all our sins were paid off and all our infirmities were healed.

“That weakness of God, that suffering servant, that took upon himself the sins of the whole world, He did it in total weakness, in self-sacrifice. I think that’s the most powerful part of who God is,” she explained.

Weakness

As Christ selflessly gave His life for our redemption, we are also called to share the Gospel to others. We must not be held back by your pain and hardships, but let our faith in God stronger than anything else.

“He just doesn’t think as we think. It’s so important to look at His self-description of who He is because faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God. And we move out of our little tiny worlds into the great Kingdom of God.”

Who Wrote The Bible & What Is The Main Message?

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Mauricio Canales will reveal to us today who wrote the Bible and what the one main message is that it preaches.

Who wrote the Bible?

Where did the word of God come from? How did the people who wrote the Bible come up with its contents and its message? The answer is in 2 Timothy 3:16.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” -2 Timothy 3:16

The Bible was written by the inspiration of God. It was God who really wrote the Bible, it was God-breathed. It was Him who revealed to the writers of the Scriptures the words to write.

“God used the writer’s writing style, their personalities, their abilities to be embedded in the word of God. God, Himself is the author of the Bible and He gave revelations to His prophets, to His apostles,” Mauricio said.

Main message

Despite being written for a span of 1500 years by 40 writers on three continents, the Bible conveys only one central message.

“There is one central message in the Bible is the word of God, and that is that God created us, God loves us, and God wants to have a relationship with us.”

Mauricio also shared how every book in the Bible reveals Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

“Understand that Jesus Christ appears in the pages of every book of the Bible.”

We want to encourage you today to read the Bible. There is power in every word in that book and that power can heal you, redeem you and set you free!

“Today, you can be healed and you can be set free by the powerful word of God.”

If You Are Facing Battles In Your Life, You Need To Hear This Powerful Spoken Word

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

If you are facing a battle in your life right now, you need to hear this powerful spoken word and know that God is redeeming everything for you!

Powerful Spoken Word

Each of us has our own battles to face, so if you are feeling helpless and hopeless, know that you are not alone. Even in times when you feel all alone and overwhelmed by the storm you are in, God has not and will never leave you.

This time, I couldn’t hear the truth in the storm.

I couldn’t hear his voice,

I just felt that billowing waves wash over me, the noise,

I felt like my scars were eggshells,

And my tears were short.

I could feel my fears become oceans,

I couldn’t do it anymore,

Truth be told, I was over it.

Powerful Spoken Word

The Battle

This battle you are fighting is only temporary. God is redeeming everything for you and He has won the victory for you! Soon, you will be out of the storm as a renewed and transformed person.

But then I realize that the shadows were only temporary

And every valley has a brook of water.

Pain is necessary.

Like a deer,

I became desperate for something revolutionary.

I submitted my pride

And rest in His tide sea.

This battle of the waves was a puddle in God’s face.

He saw the rainbow when I focused on the rain,

He saw the pot of gold at the end of the chains,

He saw the clouds when I saw the fog as barricades,

He sends my rain and He reigns over my life.

This is no mistake.

Here’s Jehovah Elohim o ancient of days.

The same yesterday, tomorrow, forever, and always.

If you are in pain right now, know that God’s eyes are on you. He knows your battles and your struggles, and His arms are stretching out to you today. There is hope in Jesus Christ, fix your eyes on Him and come unto His presence.

Cancer Survivor Shares How To Rebuild Spiritual Foundation

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Paul Manwaring, a cancer survivor, recently shared how to rebuild our spiritual foundation as we come out of the pandemic that has shaken many of our foundations.

Paul Manwaring

In an episode of Standing Together with hosts Fergus Scarfe and Claire Worth, minister Paul Manwaring teaches about building a strong foundation. As people who are standing together, we are all standing on something solid, and that is our foundation. However, when the pandemic broke out, a lot of our foundations have been shaken.

“We’ve seen in this pandemic the shaking of our foundations, we might have questioned some things,” Pail said.

Spiritual Foundation

To withstand whatever circumstance we may face, we need to have a strong foundation. That strong foundation is our spiritual foundation in our Lord Jesus Christ. As we face better days ahead of us, let us work on rebuilding our foundation.

“As we come out of this pandemic, we need to check our foundations,” the cancer survivor said. “Let’s just have a quick check of the foundations and then let’s get back to building, to building on the solid rock.”

“We have a transformational faith, we have supernatural faith, we have a lifestyle of faith, and we have Christ our cornerstone, our Savior, and our constant. Let’s build on these four… these are the truths, the absolute foundation of our faith,” he added.

Slow down

Paul has worked as a psychiatric nurse and a prison minister after he was healed from cancer 13 years ago. Today, he has a word of encouragement to everyone experiencing mental health issues.

“Slow down in the presence of God, in the presence of others, in the presence of this moment, and slow down for you. I believe it will help your mental being.”

Atheist Top Leader In Kenya Resigns Because He Has Found Jesus Christ

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A top leader of a popular Atheist group in Kenya steps down from his position as a general secretary because he has found Jesus Christ.

Atheist Top Leader Resigns

Seth Mahiga, the former general secretary of ‘Atheists in Kenya Society,’ resigned from his position as a top organization leader. He said he is no longer interested in promoting atheism in the East African Country.

In a statement on Saturday at ‘Atheists in Kenya Society’ Twitter account, the reason for his resignation was because he has found Jesus. According to the report, Seth has served the popular organization (AIK) for a year and a half.

“This evening, regretfully, our Secretary Mr. Seth Mahiga made the decision to resign from his position as Secretary of our society,” reads the official statement. “Seth’s reason for resigning is that he has found Jesus Christ and is no longer interested in promoting atheism in Kenya.”

Atheists In Kenya Society

Also, according to UG Christian News, atheists in Kenya comprised nearly 2.5% of the population. This portion included Kenyans having no religion or specify no affiliation. They push forth on wanting the country to adopt science and skepticism in all its affairs. Furthermore, they promote a rational and humanistic approach to morality, according to NTV Kenya.

For that reason, the Atheists in Kenya Society (AIK) have already pursued several campaigns in court to promote their advocacy. The initiative included the “scrapping of Christian education in Kenyan’s basic education curriculum and the annual National Day of Prayer.” Also, they complained against churches and mosques, accusing them of being a “nuisance to public peace especially in residential areas,” contributing to noise pollution. Thus, they addressed a letter to the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) this year.

Furthermore, AIK also lobbied to declare February 17 as a national atheist holiday in the East African Country.

Celebration Among Christians

The news sparked spontaneous celebrations among the Christian community online.

“Thank you God you have done it again . You changed Paul, you changed Zacchaeus the tax collector, you have now changed Seth Mahiga. May you also change our corrupt politicians,” one Christian wrote.

“Welcome to the world of reality and truth. The light shineth in the darkness and darkness cannot comprehend it!” “Glory to Jesus,” another said.

Indeed, nothing is impossible with God. He can always turn things around for His glory. Praise Him!

God Knows Everything About You; Your Past And Your Future

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

God knows everything about you. He knows your past and your future because you were beautifully and wonderfully made by Him.

Jo Frost

Jo Frost of the Evangelical Alliance opens up about how she accepted Jesus into her life and how God is using her to bring others to Jesus. She then went on to share her conversation with a random guy who was amazed by how God knows him so much.

As she started to say the things God revealed to her about this random guy’s personal secret life, he was dumbfounded! No one else knew about those things, yet God knows every single thing in his life. He then accepted Jesus Christ into his life right at that very moment.

God Knows Everything About You

Just as God knew that man’s secrets, God also knows every single detail about you. God knows your past, your secrets, and your future. He knows everything about you because He wonderfully and beautifully created you. No matter what your worries are, cast it all unto Him because He has a great promise for you.

“Maybe today you are feeling worried about your future, maybe today you’re feeling concerned about your past. But ‘Emmanuel, God with us’ promises that He knows the plans He has for you as He tells us in Jeremiah 29. He knitted you together in your mother’s womb as we hear in Psalm 139. And Jesus promises us even to the very end of the age, He will be with us,” Jo said.

Accept Jesus

Jo then ended her message by encouraging everyone watching to accept Jesus Christ into their lives.

“You can have a relationship with God today, you can know what it is to be loved and to love others. Invite Jesus into your world and meet the good, good Father,” she said right before leading the prayer.
