Watch and Pray

"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41 Why watch and pray, below explanation is based on and what I have understood from the series of books of John Owen (1616-1683). Since indwelling sin always abides in a believer, not only abides but acting, not only acting but produces soul destroying sins, it is the believer's responsibility to mortify the sin. Below two principles help us to understand it more clearly Principle 1: Indwelling sin is a law. (I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. Romans 7:21) Principle 2: There will be no mortification of any sin without sincerity and diligence in a universality of obedience. (If anyone comes to Me, and does not [n]hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple Luke 14:26) Because indwelling s...

God's Love

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?        Romans 8:31-35 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on...

Humility

This gives us the answer to the question so often asked, and of which the meaning is so seldom clearly apprehended: How can I die to self? The death to self is not your work, it is God's work. In Christ you are dead to sin, the life there is in you has gone through the process of death and resurrection; you may be sure you are indeed dead to sin. But the full manifestation of the power of this death in your disposition and conduct depends upon the measure in which the Holy Spirit imparts the power of the death of Christ. And here it is that the teaching is needed: if you would enter into full fellowship with Christ in His death, and know the full deliverance from self, humble yourself. This is your one duty. Place yourself before God in your utter helplessness; consent heartily to the fact of your impotence to slay or make alive yourself; sink down into your own nothingness, in the spirit of meek and patient and trustful surrender to God. Accept every humiliation, look upo...

God's word

In Bible Gods word is described as many ways, only word of God can change human life, following verses explain how  Gods word  can change our lives. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face   in a  mirror ;   for   once   he has looked at himself and gone away,   he has immediately forgotten what kind of person  he  was.   But one who looks intently at the perfect law,   the   law   of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a  forgetful  hearer but   an  effectual  doer, this man will be   blessed in   what he does.   James 1:23-25 “Is not My word like  fire ?” declares the  Lord , “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?    Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word like fire?” declares the  Lord , “and  like  a  hammer  which  shatter...

Our riches in Lord Jesus Christ

Once, Charles Spurgeon visited a poverty-stricken old lady who lived in his alms-house. As he was looking at her meagre possessions, he noticed a certain picture frame with a piece of paper in it. Noticing a signature on that piece of paper, he asked the old lady what it was. She told him that years ago she had nursed an old man. On his deathbed, he wrote his name on that piece of paper and gave it to her in appreciation of her labors of love. So she had it framed and hung it in remembrance of him. Taking the piece of paper from the frame, Spurgeon examined it closely. To his utter amazement, it was a check—so he immediately took it to the bank. Upon examining the check, the bank manager told him, “This man’s fortune has been lying here for years and we were wondering who was coming to claim it.” Spurgeon, handing the money to the old lady, said, “If you had not been ignorant of what you had possessed, you would not have lived in poverty for so many years.” This illustrates that we sh...

Prayer from Ephesians

1.     Father in heaven, Father of glory, I pray that please grant me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Lord Jesus Christ. 2.     Father, I pray that a.      The eyes of my understanding being enlightened. b.     That I know what the hope of Your calling is. c.      And to know the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints. d.     And to know the exceeding greatness of Your power to myself who believe.                                                     i.      According to the working of Your mighty power, which You wrought in Christ, when You raised Lord from the dea...

Testimony : Bible

Thousands of Christians have not seen Bibles or Gospels for decades in Communist nations such as China and North Korea. Two very dirty villagers came to my home one day to buy a Bible. They had come from their village to take the job of shoveling the frozen earth all winter long to earn money in the slight hope that they might be able to buy an old, tattered Bible with it and take it back to their village. Because I had received Bibles from America, I was able to hand them a new Bible, not an old tattered one. They could not believe their eyes! They tried to pay me with the money they had earned. I refused their money. They rushed back to their village with the Bible. A few days later I received a letter of unrestrained, ecstatic joy thanking me for the Scriptures. It was signed by thirty villagers! They had carefully cut the Bible into thirty parts and exchanged the parts with one another! It was pathetic to hear a Russian begging for one page of the Bible to feed his soul. They were...

Testimony : Discovery of chloroform

when asked to a great scientist Simpson, the discoverer of chloroform and many other medicines,  what he considered to be his greatest discovery, he answered: ‘It was not chloroform. My greatest discovery has been to know that I am a sinner and that I could be saved by the grace of God.’” Wurmbrand, Richard. Tortured for Christ (p. 177). Living Sacrifice Book Company. Kindle Edition.

Testimony: Crown of Glory

One of our workers in the Underground Church was a young girl. The Communist police discovered that she secretly spread Gospels and taught children about Christ. They decided to arrest her. But to make the arrest as agonizing and painful as they could, they decided to delay her arrest a few weeks, until the day she was to be married. On her wedding day, the girl was dressed as a bride—the most wonderful, joyous day in a girl’s life! Suddenly, the door burst open and the secret police rushed in. When the bride saw the secret police, she held out her arms toward them to be handcuffed. They roughly put the manacles on her wrists. She looked toward her beloved, then kissed the chains and said, “I thank my heavenly Bridegroom for this jewel He has presented to me on my marriage day. I thank Him that I am worthy to suffer for Him.” She was dragged off, with weeping Christians and a weeping bridegroom left behind. They knew what happens to young Christian girls in the hands of Communist gua...

Testimony 2 Richard Wurmbrand

I thought of you when I read this quote from "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand - "A pastor by the name of Florescu was tortured with red-hot iron pokers and with knives. He was beaten very badly. Then starving rats were driven into his cell through a large pipe. He could not sleep because he had to defend himself all the time. If he rested a moment, the rats would attack him. He was forced to stand for two weeks, day and night. The Communists wished to compel him to betray his brethren, but he resisted steadfastly. Eventually, they brought his fourteen-year-old son to the prison and began to whip the boy in front of his father, saying that they would continue to beat him until the pastor said what they wished him to say. The poor man was half mad. He bore it as long as he could, then he cried to his son, “Alexander, I must say what they want! I can’t bear your beating anymore!” The son answered, “Father, don’t do me the injustice of having a traitor as a pare...

Testimony Richard Wurmbrand

Please read short life event of Richard Wurmbrand: Once the Communists came to power, they skillfully used the means of seduction toward the Church. The language of love and the language of seduction are the same. The one who wishes a girl for a wife and the one who wishes her for only a night both say the words, “I love you.” Jesus has told us to discern between the language of seduction and the language of love, and to know the wolves clad in sheepskin from the real sheep. Unfortunately, when the Communists came to power, thousands of priests, pastors, and ministers did not know how to discern between the two voices. The Communists convened a congress of all Christian bodies in our Parliament building. There were four thousand priests, pastors, and ministers of all denominations—and these men of God chose Joseph Stalin as honorary president of this congress. At the same time he was president of the World Movement of the Godless and a mass murderer of Christians. One after anothe...
