For the sake of perfection in spiritual life

In these days, we’re watching people’s testimonies on tvs and in some ministries. Many Christians, who have recovered from their sicknesses, are giving testimonies and praising God. Jesus healed many but commanded them they shouldn’t tell it to anybody, because he doesn’t want the testimony of cured persons.

Jesus told the cured persons that they should show themselves before the priest and offer gifts as Moses commanded. Today, many Christians who have not understood the bible properly are doing against to this. Even pastors are no exception. A pastor was saying to a congregation, “put your hand where you have sickness. Today, God is going to heal you. He wants to heal you. Close your eyes. I’ll pray, and you’ll be healed.”

A few persons, in the congregation, who had sickness put their hands where they had sickness. The pastor prayed a long time for  the sick persons. After that, he opened his eyes and said, “those who have been healed by God rise your hands.” Many hands rose out of the few persons. Once again, the pastor
said, “come onto the stage and tell your testimony, so that God  will be praised.”

They went to onto the stage and said that they were cured of their sickness. After that, all they shouted, “Hallelujah!”

This is not Jesus wanted.  Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of
Christ does not have God - 2Jn. 9.

These are the people who are overtaking God and going ahead. A person, who is cured of his sickness, must thank God in his prayers. That’s enough. He need not publicize it.

Another blunder.
A pastor received a call from a paralyzed person. The person said, “I’m a paralyzed person, pastor. Please pray for me and heal me.” The pastor prayed a long time, then he began to shout as: “Get up! Take your mat and walk!” He shouted like this for a long time. The paralyzed person cried, “I’m unable to walk.”
The pastor said to the man, “You don’t have faith. God is not willing to heal you.”

The paralyzed person was disappointed and came to a conclusion that God was not willing to heal him nor cared for him. So he stopped praying. He foolishly believed the pastor words and changed like this.
In the bible, Jesus healed many persons, who had no faith. Later on, they believed Jesus. We must remember that.

I tell you don’t believe the pastors who claim that they can heal  the sick. These pastors roam in churches, calming that they can heal, but they never ever go to hospitals to heal the bed ridden patients. God heals the sick directly. He doesn’t need another mediator to perform this. God is always ready to listen to the prayers of the sick to heal them. He heals every sick person at a proper time. So the sick must be patient until God heals them. God has no partisan attitude. He pays attention to everybody
prayers.

Another blunder:

Some Christians don’t know who they should pray to. And through whom they should pray. In our family, we know who our father is, mother is, and brother is.

When it comes to God’s family, some Christians are unaware of the father, the son, and the Holy spirit.
They are claiming that the father, the son, and the Holy spirit in one. Jesus is our brother. His father is our father. We should pray to our father through Jesus, who is our interceder. Holy spirit is also our brother. (Read ‘who is Holy spirit’ to know more about him. You could find it in the postings)

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name - Ep. 3:14-14.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus - 1Ti. 2:5.

Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - Ep. 5:20.

Not knowing all these, some Christians are praying as:

God thank you for sacrificing your life for my sins
* God, our father, didn’t die for our sins. He sent to his son for that. His son died for our sins.

Some are praying as:

Forgive our transgressions Jesus (Then they ask some requests, and finally they say)We’re asking these requests in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. We must pray to God through Jesus. We shouldn’t pray to Jesus
though his name. Remember.

Because of these imperfection Christian sake, this article was posted so that they will amend their mistakes and become perfect in their spiritual life.

Faith

Faith,  the foundation of our  spiritual lives, makes us depend on God in every situation. Faith  makes us believe the unseen.  It enables us to hear the things that we can’t hear with our ears. In the bible, many believers did many impossible things by faith.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age — and Sarah herself was barren — was enabled to become a father.

Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets,who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword.

This is the power of faith.

My righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”- He. 10:38.

“`If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Pray to God to overcome your unbelief . He does help you. Then you could live by faith, overcoming obstacles in your life.

Facts about Evil spirits and human spirits and their existence

“Hey, don’t go to the home side at night,” said a father to his teenage son. “The house owner committed suicide in the home five years ago, and his spirit is still roaming in the house. It cries and laughs at nights.”

The teenager asked, “Did you see him?” The father said that he never saw him, but somebody told him so.
His son got scared and didn’t go to that side, even in a broad day light. 

Fears such as these make people very timid, and Hollywood scary movies add fuel to it.

The bible clearly tells that any human spirit doesn’t stay here on the earth.  After death, in just a split second, the spirits of dead people go to paradise or hell. No doubt about it. Only evil spirits stay here. The spirits are nothing but the wicked angels.

The great dragon was hurled down — that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.  He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him - Re. 12:9.

We call the angels “evil spirits” and the dragon “Satan.”

In movies, we see evil spirit come to people in terrifying get up like - with red bloody clothes and with awful faces.

To me, they are funny.

In fact, evil spirits don’t have a specific appearance at all; they are invisible forces. They don’t have the power to get us scared.  They just cause problems to us, but they are not allowed to kill us. Many Christians are not aware of this. On the other hand, they are afraid of human spirits that don't exists on earth.

There are many incidents in the bible that human spirits came back to earth.

Lazarus( new testament)
On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days- Jn. 11:17.

Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” - Jn. 11:43-44.

Jesus did this miracle to make Jews believe that he is the son of God.

Another event.

During the transfiguration of Jesus,  Moses and Elijah came to him.

Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendour, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfilment at Jerusalem - Lk. 9:30.

You may wonder why they want to know about Jesus’ departure.

The reason is:

In the first advent, Jesus came into the world. After his death, he would have to go to paradise according to the scriptures. 

You will not abandon me to the grave, [Hebrew: Sheol] nor will you let your Holy One see  decay - Ps. 16:10.

The spirits in the paradise had been waiting for Jesus’ arrival to see him. So Moses and Elijah came to Jesus and asked about his departure. For this specific reason, Moses and Elijah came to earth. 

           
Another event.

The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people - Mt. 27:52-53.

Only Holy people were raised to life.

This took place to fulfill the prophecy.

Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel - Ez. 37:12.


In the old testament we see another incident

Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” “Bring up Samuel,” he said.

When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!” - 1Sa. 28:11-12.

Can a witch  bring back a righteous spirit come paradise, or unrighteous spirit from Shoel?

The answer is no.

The spirits only come to earth only on God’s will.

The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up - 1Sa. 2:6.


Now come to the point.

God  turned away from Saul. He no longer answered him, either by prophets or by dreams. So Saul wanted to consult a medium to know the future.

God sent Samuel’s spirit back to earth on his will to remind Saul that his kingdom would be torn given it to one of his neighbors — to David.

Therefore, the spirits of humans don’t stay here on the earth.Though the evil spirits stay here, they can’t kill us.

You are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one- 1Jn. 2:14.

Suicide lands your spirits in hell

A Human being,

From 6 to 19 devotes to education,

20- 30 searches for job and settle in life,

31-40 gets married and gets children,

41-60 amasses money for children,

61- 80 suffers from sickness and loneliness. After that, dies.

This is the life of a common human being. In the life, if he/she  faces severe troubles(financial and personal)or worries, he/she  is restoring to suicide. 

Just have a look at the life from 1-60. All these years we’re living for ourselves. There is another thing in us, which tells us to live for God. It is our inner being: spirit.

Some people, in troubles, are killing themselves, thinking that they could escape problems and troubles. But this is wrong. The spirits of the cowardly directly land in hell. Read Re. 21:8 for reference.

We shouldn’t ourselves go toward death, because such death(suicide) shouldn’t accomplish God’s will. Satan leads us toward suicide while we’re in problems. It takes advantage of our situation, but we shouldn’t give in under any circumstances.

At Gethsemane Jesus prayed to God, asking him to take away the cup from him. At that time, his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Though he was in the peak stage of anguish, he didn’t like to die.

He said, My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will -Mt. 26:39.

Jesus was also tempted in the desert. At that time he was alone. Satan tried to tempt him in many ways, but he didn’t fall in its trap.

He was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted - He. 2:18.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you - 1Pe. 5:7.

Don’t be afraid of troubles. And don’t commit suicide. Our spirit needs to stay in our bodies, so that we can accomplish God’s will.

The Lord be with your {our}spirit- 2Ti. 4:22.

The Blessed Virgin Mary

Mary was a resident of Nazareth, which is in Galilee. In those days, Nazareth had a bad reputation, as it was close to the territory of Gentiles, and in fact, it was as bad as Gentile’s land.

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathaniel asked.

Surprisingly, God brought glory to Nazareth. He chose Mary from the land to fulfill the scriptures, and Jesus was known as Jesus of Nazareth.

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel - Is. 7:14.

The virgins of Palestine knew the scripture pretty well, yet they didn’t know how it would be fulfilled. Thinking that no matter how it would be fulfilled, every virgin dreamed of becoming the virgin to give birth to Jesus Christ. However, they didn’t get the chance. God gave it to Mary, who was a poor virgin.

God doesn’t see the out form of humans. He sees the inner things: humbleness, God fearing, simplicity. The Devine characters impress God. Not our ability, stature, status, and controlling power. Mary had had the Devine characters.

Gabriel said to Mary, ‘You have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son’.

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” Lk. 1:34.

Though Mary knew the scripture {Is. 7:14} she wasn’t enough confident that it was possible to God. Her words made it clear.

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy one to be born will be called the Son of God - Lk. 1:35.

Gabriel said another news to Mary in order to let her know nothing is impossible with God.

Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth  month. For nothing is impossible with God - Lk. 1:36.

Then Mary was wholeheartedly prepared to give birth to Jesus Christ. Thus, she was used an instrument of God. She put her trust in God, who gave her strength to overcome humiliations and hurdles.
