God didn’t send me out to collect a following for myself, but to preach the Message of what He has done, collecting a following for Him. And He didn’t send me to do it with a lot of fancy rhetoric of my own, lest the powerful action at the center— Christ on the Cross—be trivialized into mere words.

Your Perspective
by: Dr André and Jenny Roebert Deuteronomy 6:8-9, "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates".
God told the children of Israel to keep His Word before them at all times Why? Because God wanted to demonstrate His greatness, kindness, and generosity through them as a people to the nations. It was impossible to do this while they had the wrong mindset. Even though God had freed them from 400 years of Egyptian captivity, they still carried a slave mentality. The Bible says they had no faith, and consistently doubted Him and complained against Him They simply didn't see themselves from His perspective That's why they needed to constantly be reminded of His truth He was their God and had set out ways for them to live so that it would go well with them and their descendants! This principle carries through for us today! Under the New Covenant, we need to constantly renew our minds to the perspective of Who God sees us to be, so that we can live free and flourish! 1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.". As you meditate on God's Word, the Holy Spirit reveals truth to you that will bring supernatural change! You will see yourself as He does and live in the fullness of life He has saved you into! 6

The Lord said, “This man was an evangelist. However, he used to dream of sexual intercourse for a long period of time This has brought him here When he died, the demons of adultery brought him here in this pit ”
8
In this first chamber, I saw that it was written, “The Prison of Those Who Have Brought the Condemnation of Sexual Sins ” There was a board with a list of condemnations of various sexual sins. When I read this list, I saw the kind of sexual sins that lead to Tcondemnationhefirstsexual sin was the sin of people who have sexual intercourse in their dreams When we arrived in this chamber of sexual sins, I could not see people All I could see were great flames of fire and I heard people who were crying inside the fire. We could hear people but we could not see them Then the Lord showed me a man who had a ring of marriage on his finger. He was skeletal. When he saw us coming, the man began to tell us his story.
While this man was talking to us, I saw that this brother was in a pit and seven female demons were dancing around him This evangelist had his wedding ring on the finger, which was not burning
The Lord said to this man, “I did not make marriage and sexual act to happen in the dream ” The man said, “How could I lose my soul because of dreams?” And the Lord said, “My son, it is too late.” The Lord said, “One day this evangelist was walking in the street and he saw a beautiful lady When he saw her he was aroused with lust in his heart although he was already married He really wanted to have an affair with this woman for he lusted after her. Despite the lust in his heart, he said to himself, “I am an evangelist, I already have a wife, I cannot do it ”
This man did not know that the lady that aroused his heart was a witch and she had the spirit of water mermaid in her that made her seductive in the street And this water spirit dwelling in the witch was able to read the mind of the evangelist when he was lusting after the lady witch. Quickly the marine spirit captured the thought of lust that the evangelist was entertaining in his heart and she took it to the marine kingdom When she met the queen of the sea and the hierarchy of the underwater kingdom, she said, “Your Highness, I dwell in the body of our servant Linda the witch I have made her pretty, attractive and seductive I made her chest bosomy and I made her dressing indecent and revealing. I gave her my beauty for seduction on the earth. And while she was walking the street, an evangelist was seduced by my beauty and the seductive attraction that I gave to Linda Since the evangelist has lusted after my beauty, I would like to marry him.” The evangelist was in love and he was full of lust He had opened the door through his thought of lust and he had failed to confess
HEAVEN & HELL TESTIMONY
When the mistress of the sea heard this report from this mermaid, she agreed to her marriage proposal Thus the spirit of the witch was summoned underwater The mistress of the sea said to the mermaid of seduction, “Right, since you want to marry the evangelist, we need to meet his family And we need to give a dowry in order to officialize the marriage ” Afterward, they went to the surface and they found a member of the evangelist’s family that was into witchcraft. They gathered in a meeting in order to talk about marriage and to give a Tdowryheysaid to the family, “We have come to marry your son, the evangelist. He fell in love with our daughter.” The family of the evangelist said to the mistress of the sea, “You can take him in marriage since he is in love with your daughter, but you’re going to have to give us the dowry that can satisfy us. And this is what we want for dowry.”
He said, “When I got married to my wife, I was faithful to her until death I have never committed fornication I have not lusted after women. I was faithful to my wife that we grew up together since childhood And when we got older, we got married legally However, when I got into my marriage, I began to have the constant dream of sexual intercourse with a woman I could not identify the lady that was coming in my dream to have sexual intercourse with me I have never been able to see her. Yet every night this woman came to have sex with me ” As these sexual dreams became repetitive, I decided to talk to my pastor, and we set a program for deliverance prayer On that day of deliverance, the pastor prayed for me in order to stop and cancel these sexual dreams. However, right after the prayer session, I came to see that his prayer did not stop this phenomenon And these sexual dreams continued And when death came, I was condemned in the afterlife because of these sexual activities in the dream. Beloved, I saw that this brother who was inside the pit of fire was surrounded by seven female devils Actually, the woman who had constant sexual intercourse with this man in the dream was one of these seven female demons of Hell The female devil was a siren who was coming in his dream to abuse and mate with him This female demon was pouring stain and impurity on this man during sexual intercourse This man was defiled and stained by sexual intercourse in the dream. Many people are stained and made impure by sex in dreams but they don’t see the dangers and the consequence in their spirits that are defiled
When I heard this I began to repeat, “No, no, no, this is not possible It should not happen ” The Lord said, “85% of people in Hell are condemned for sins that they are unaware of ”
One day as the evangelist was sleeping, the mermaid came in his dream and they had sex. As a result, the evangelist ejaculated When that happened, the mermaid collected his sperm and took his sperm to the marine kingdom And she went to find her friends, the ladies of the sea underwater, and she showed them the evangelist’s sperm She said, “My husband has good sperms I would like to have children with him.” Immediately the mermaid introduced these sperms in her womb As a result, she got pregnant Later she delivered a beautiful child in the marine world When her friends the ladies of the sea saw that the child was beautiful, they said to their friend the mermaid, “Next time when you visit your husband in order to mate with him, we will come with you ” When that day came, she went to sleep with the evangelist in the dream. She came with many of her friends from the sea world, and they all mated with the evangelist When the evangelist noticed repetitive sexual dreams he went to see the pastor Whenever the pastor prayed he was protected against this sexual attack in a period of one week But since the repentance was not done correctly, and since he failed to do the confession correctly, the ladies of the sea kept coming back When he reached 33 years old, he died and the day he died, these ladies of the sea began to fight for his soul
Your dreams reflect your spiritual life What you dream is what is likely to happen Dreams are a world of its own. It is an assembly of images that are projected in Tsleephere are symbols and signs in dreams that are messages that God’s children must decode. One of the languages God is using at the end of time in order to talk to His children is dreams
HEAVEN & HELL TESTIMONY
“We all know that the evangelist is a servant of God Therefore, we want you to reduce the years of his life so that he will die young at the age of 33. This is the dowry that we require from you ”
The Lord told me, “There are 54 kinds of dreams. Many people watch erotic soap operas and movies These sexual acts in movies stain and defile those who watch them Sexual scenes in movies and soap operas open gateways for demons to enter into people’s lives.”
The Lord said, “Whenever people watch images of nakedness on television, a doorway will be opened and a demon will come out of television to capture their souls ” Men’s dreams are a spiritual reality of their lives The lives of men are connected to their dreams.
The queen of the sea and the mermaid of seduction agreed to kill the evangelist at the age of 33 On that day, the marriage between the evangelist and the mermaid of seduction was sealed in the spirit world of witchcraft
The Lord said, “People that are attached to them are bound in spiritual marriage with demons of Hell These are demons that marry people and have sex with them in dreams People enter into spiritual marriages when they watch sexual scenes in movies They would end up having sex in the dreams These demons of movies will claim their souls if they fail to repent.”
The Lord said, “There are principles in order to be delivered from spiritual marriage. Firstly, you need to confess to God and then to His servant, because you are captive and married in the spirit. After this confession, you need to go through deliverance prayer After this prayer, you need a letter of divorce in order to return the dowry that was given for your marriage. This is done when you take a seed offering and you bring it to My servant When My servant prays, My kingdom will issue a letter of divorce and thanks to your seed offering, the dowry will be returned to the marine kingdom and the divorce will be sealed ” This is the principle that the Lord showed me
The Lord said, “There are four types of spiritual marriage Firstly, the angels that slept with women in the era of Noah These angels come in dreams to sleep with humans.” “Secondly, there are witches that come to sleep with people in dreams when the latter yearned and lusted after them during the day ” “Thirdly, there are also sexual thoughts of lust that become a dream ”
Immediately I began to think about all the sexual dreams I had
Right after the marriage, the evangelist began to have continual sexual dreams He was worried and he went to talk to the pastor They later prayed for his deliverance and protection against sexual aggression in the dream Though he talked to the pastor, the sexual dreams continued. Actually, whenever the pastor prayed the evangelist spent one week without sex in the dream But over time, the sexual dreams came back again Whenever these dreams came back, he went to see the pastor in order to tell him and when the pastor prayed, this dream would stop for a week Then they would come back again
9
Each one was saying, “He belongs to me ” Given that his spirit was stained and defiled because of sex in the dreams, he ended up in Hell
“Fourthly, there are also the wandering spirits of the dead that come to sleep with people in dreams.” In order to officialize these spiritual marriages, these spirits would find a member of your family that is a witch and they would give him dowry for the marriage
HEAVEN & HELL TESTIMONY
Jude 1:18 because they told you that at the last time there will be mockers according to their lusts, leading ungodly lives
Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids
Matthew 5:28 But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart
Job 31:1 I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think on a maid?
When the Lord wanted to take me to another pit, I called Him and I said, “Lord, what if I were in the place of the evangelist?” He looked at me and said, “It is too late for him ” Brother, we are not better than these souls that are in Hell. They heard the Word like us, they were warned like us. I am here to warn you because the Lord told me that my mission is to warn humanity The Lord said to me, “My child, your voice has become like music people play when you preach.”
Luke 13:3 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish Exodus 20:17 You shall … not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant
Job 31:9 12 If my heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door; 10 Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down on her. 11 For this is an heinous crime; yes, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges 12 For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase
Proverbs 6:24 25 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25
The Spirit of God can give the interpretation to God’s children God’s children must learn the signs and interpretation of signs Because of technology and modernism, God’s children are failing to read the signs in dreams and in everyday life Even in meteorology, scientists rely on signs in the sky to predict the weather. In medical science, the doctor looks for signs in the blood to determine and diagnose sickness
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful
TO BE CONTINUED 10
There are coded messages in dreams and God’s children need the anointing to discern these dreams that contain messages
Matthew 11:17 saying, We played the flute to you, and you did not dance! We mourned to you, but you did not Jwail!esus said to me, “The fact that you have seen Hell is not a guarantee that you are saved for there were many that had testified and still fell to Hell ”
Psalms 81:12 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels
ANGUS
Jesus bless you Angus and Jill Buchan
There are many fathers in homes who are not operating as fathers, because they don’t know how to be a father Remember the story of the problem at the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, when the young bull elephants started to virtually destroy the place, they called in the Zoologist, they said, could you please identify what the problem is, they are running wild, they are terrorising the tourists and they are attacking the rhino’s After some time, the zoologist asked, where are the old tuskers, and of course the old tuskers had been taken out of the park and the reason was, the warden said, because they were doing nothing, they were just standing underneath the trees all day Well, the zoologist asked them to please bring them back, and when they brought them back, the park came back to normality
What was the reason, well, the young bull elephants had no role models, they didn’t know how to be bull elephants, they had no mentors, they were orphans? You and I need to understand that God has called us as fathers and as mothers to be role models for our children, we need to look to Jesus as our ultimate role model and then we will find that things will start going better on the home front. & written by:
If we look at John 14:18 (NKJV) 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. The orphan spirit started right from the beginning of the world with Adam, when sin separated Adam and Eve from Father God So, the only way we can overcome that orphan spirit is to be born Wagaineare faced with a fatherless generation at present

AN ORPHAN SPIRIT
Jill and I found Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour on the 18th of February 1979, just two years after settling in Greytown, Kwa Zulu Natal Midlands, South Africa Originally from Zambia, we bought a piece of land on which we planned to farm crops and livestock We had very little to start with but even as brand new Christians, we were content with our farm, which we later called SHALOM.
C O N T R I B U T O R
When we are loved by God, then we can love others, when we have the indwelling Holy Spirit in our lives, then we are filled with hope and joy and then we become peaceful, we don’t have to earn anything, we realise we don’t have to earn our Heavenly Fathers love, because it’s given to us freely, Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, and then grace abounds and that grace can be transferred to family members, to children and those around us Then of course the realisation that God is actually the one who supplies all our needs and then that takes the pressure off the stress levels.
JILL BUCHAN
GET INVOLVED S H E P H E R D H I L L C O M M U N I T Y
Dear friend, If you are very sincere that you are a child of GOD and an extension of God's kingdom, you must be resolutely involved with the work of the gospel You should never think that God is asleep over that situation in your life He always makes provision for all times and especially times of uncertainties If you are expecting JESUS, and the gospel is not a priority for you, something is definitely wrong because getting involved in the work of the gospel is not optional for the believer because it is a command from the Lord: Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature Mark.16;15.
I declare that, You will live in this world as a Godly, blessed, healthy, fulfilled and Celebrated in Jesus Christ name Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Ephesians.6:12, 14. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew. .24:14.
REMINDER 12
Your readiness for the gospel is an armour you mustn't ignore if you want to overcome principalities and powers that we are constantly in a wrestle with according to Eph 6
13
Although salvation of souls is the target of the gospel, but healing always follows too because the gospel is a total package of good news that affect the spirit, soul and Ibodytrust God to help you, genuinely, intentionally and resolutely be committed to the gospel. If you are not physically there, then support gospel outreaches, give what you can to missions and missionary endeavours
You need to put on the armour of the gospel
Remember that the Lord's victory is your trophy.
Your obedience to the command of spreading the gospel of the Kingdom of GOD, makes you a man under authority and so the powers of the kingdom of darkness become subject to you Matthew 8:9
*People must see and hear about your identification with JESUS and His Kingdom You cannot be ashamed of Him on earth and reign with Him in eternity Mark 8:38
If you're shy or too busy to be directly involved in a huge gospel outreach, then share the gospel with a few people at a time, like your close friends, relations and business partners
REMINDER
Remember, healing always follows the preaching of the true gospel. The bible says, as JESUS was preaching somewhere, the power of GOD was present to heal Luke. 5:17; even His antagonists present there were healed Never underestimate the power of the gospel
ShepherdHill Community
JESUS is not your Lord, if you have a choice to obey or disobey Him Please think about it
You can also sponsor gospel outreaches at any level possible.
Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one Ithing seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty Yof ahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace I want to contemplate in his temple
14
In my love you are able to do all things, for I strengthen you with my love. People make demands on your time and your thoughts, but I wait for you to come and draw you closer when you choose me above your friends and family. Come as my dearest one, and I will give you grace for your dearest ones on earth, so you may show them my love. When you give me your time, I give you my strength. Are you feeling weak today? Then come before me until you are bathed in power. Sit in my presence and come back to the truths I will remind you of. No human being can empower you, for their weapons are puny and helpless. Trust in my strength, not in the affirmation of others. Watch me work in your heart as you spend time in my presence. As you sit with me and unite your heart with mine, you will be filled with all you need to touch the world. Then I will pour you, full of my love, out upon the earth as my gift and my treasure.

"ONE SINGLE WORDLY SECULAR MUSIC CAN LEAD YOU TO HELL"
The Lord Jesus cast Satan out by quoting scriptures when he was tempted, though He was all powerful to burn Him with fire, He expects us to do the same

Yesterday, The Holy Spirit revealed to me that “ONE SINGLE WORDLY SECULAR MUSIC can lead you to hell by invasion of a demonic spirit into your life in your sleep or attack you spiritually or sexually or inject a sedative of spiritual laziness, spiritual lethargy, lukewarmness and sleep into your soul!
the song/ the lyrics down when it attacks your mind? Whatever is attacking your mind, immediately quote this scripture and keep on repeating it till the demon flees from you

2 Corinthians 10: 4
This system of Paracelsus is the foundation in which modern medicine is built It has killed and poisoned millions of people. Pharmaceutical drugs never cure disease they only try to manage it by inhibiting or manipulating a function in the body that is supposed to happen naturally In a June 2010 report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, authors said that in looking over records that spanned from 1976 to 2006 they found that out of 62 million death certificates, 25 million deaths were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors The total number of deaths due to the American modern medical system of drugging, unnecessary surgeries, infections, medical errors, etc , is nearly 800,000 people per year! This is more than people who die from heart disease with over 600,000 deaths per year and cancer with over 500,000 deaths per year This system of administering poisonous drugs worldwide is a trillion dollar industry and the medical merchants of the earth profit greatly from it They love the money it produces and ignore the many lives it destroys Millions worship the system as an idol Poisonous drugs are NOT a cure for disease Many who prescribe and administer pharmaceutical drugs will admit it If drugs cured disease, why are many who are being treated for diseases prescribed to take drugs until the day they die This does not sound like a cure but a money making hoax
By the use of poisonous drugs, many bring upon themselves lifelong illness, and many lives are lost that might be saved by the use of natural methods of healing ” Ellen White, Counsels on Health, p 89
People need to be taught that drugs do not cure disease. It is true that they sometimes afford present relief, and the patient appears to recover as the result of their use; this is because nature has sufficient vital force to expel the poison and to correct the conditions that caused the disease Health is recovered in spite of the drug But in most cases the drug only changes the form and location of the disease Often the effect of the poison seems to be overcome for a time, but the results remain in the system, and work great harm at some later period
16
What message does the Bible give for those in pharmakeia the poison of Babylon? Galatians 5:20 21 says: 20 Idolatry, witchcraft [pharmakeia], hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: 20 Idolatry, witchcraft [pharmakeia], hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Greek word for “witchcraft” in verse 20 is pharmakeia. Those who are in this poisoning drugging business need to repent and turn away from it If they do not repent they will not inherit the kingdom of God This is confirmed in the book of Revelation Revelation 21:8 says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers [pharmakeus =druggist/poisoner], and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death ” The Greek word for sorcerers in verse 8 is “pharmakeus” defined as a druggist or poisoner This is repeated in the last chapter of the Bible Revelation 22:14, 15 says, 14“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers [pharmakeus = druggist], and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie
TAKE NOTE: WE ARE NOT SAYING DOCTORS ARE BAD NOR PHARMASISTS WE ARE THROUGH SCRIPTURE HIGHLITING THE WICKENESS OF THE ENDTIME STARGTEGY THE ENEMY IS USING TO DESTROY MAN WHICH IS THROUGH THE PHARAMACUTICAL CALLING THE BODY OF CHRIST TO STOP USING PILLS, medicine and vaccines etc AND RELY ON THE HEALING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND NATURAL REMEDIES THE LORD JESUS CREATED!

Pharmakeia is a part of Babylon This is what the Bible predicts that Babylon would use to deceive all nations You don’t have to be deceived. There is no way to be a part of God’s true people at the end of time and be connected with this system of administering poisonous drugs that manipulate and confuse the mind. This comes from Satan himself. You have seen the evidence. Babylon is fallen, get out before it is too late. It is a broken and poisonous system, “GET OUT” is God’s earnest plea.

And the time is now because there is a lot of mess in the church and the Lord is in the season of preparing men for the revival The state of the church today cannot bare the harvest that is going to come because they themselves hardly love the brethren that are already within the church That's why the Lord Jesus is in the business of sweeping the church and raising men in the secret place
Before the Lord Jesus judges He sends His prophets to warn. It's up to us if we will hearken to His warnings and truly repent not with our mouths only but firstly our hearts
life
This hour will not be the hour of man ( bishops, prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists and pastors) and their churches nooo We're approaching the revival and it shall be the hour of salvation, repentance and all the glory will be given to the Lord Jesus and His sacrifice for humanity

go about confessing to be Christians but:
It's not a coincidence that there are video's circulating of very young people on fire for KING JESUS, that is the mighty HAND AND WILL OF GOD AT HAND!

The Almighty Jesus has sent me to awaken the church about the final judgement The Judgment day Before the final judgment and the final JUDGEMENT

Book
To those causing division in the church, repent whlist it's still dawn because night is coming where no man can repent This is the time of grace but it shall surely end
To those still playing church repent because there is a fire that is coming and you shall be consumed
There is judgment that will begin in the house of the Lord Jesus pretty soon for some it has started!
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
On Who shall sit : King Jesus ( who now is interceding and is an advocate, but on that day be the great Judge).
It will not matter who you were Where you lived how good you preached Church you attended Deliverance you received Qualifications you had Car you drove House you lived Children you had Name of the pastor Prophecy you got Money in the bank how long you prayed Came to church
Saw: the dead, small and great ( not Christians, prophets, evangelists and pastors, politicians, royal family, doctors, scientists poor, rich, beautiful, educated, short, tall, dark, ) no, in that day who you were won't matter We shall stand before God and the books will be opened and another book will be opened, which is the book of life : and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. As much as we are not saved by works but grace The deeds we do here on earth will be judged whether good or bad and everyone shall receive a reward for that.
Revelations 20 v 11-15
Salvation is personal What gets people's names in the book of life is salvation but you are responsible for making sure it remains written in the book of life What makes names to be removed is unrighteousness and sin. That's why in Revelations it speaks about those whose names would not be blotted out cause they overcame and defiled not their garments. Revelations 3:4-5 We will be judged according to our works ( not status, title, background or connections but works Faith without works is deed So is deeds without faith They go hand in hand Conclusion Read Revelations verse 13: 14-15 Whoseover ( pastor, yellow one, lawyer, rich, poor, president, Gardner, queen Elizabeth, Beyonce etc) was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. What will matter is the name found written in the book of life If not found, lake of fire For ever and ever and ever Right now hell is not the final destination those that are in hell even Christians and pastors are in the waiting area of the final destination, which is the lake of fire This is not the time to follow or please man but King Jesus Who is the BOSS, Alfa & Omega, Who has the Key & sceptre of David ! Revelations : 21: 7 8 27 Luke 13 :22 27
Psalms
Corinthian 5:10 Faith without works is deed So is deeds without faith They go hand in hand.
Meaning of Judgement: a decision made by someone in power: an official decision, verdict Meaning once judgment is happening there is no room for: A comment, suggestion , question or answer It will not be a question and answer you will be told and verdict made.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
What has Christians populating hell is the fact that they received Yeshua but failed to live a holy, righteous and pure life because of grace. They failed to wash their garments and work their own salvation with fear and trembling. Making salvation a church thing, family thing, a partner thing and friendship thing 17:10 65:12 Jeremiah 32: 19 Matthew 16: 27 Romans 2:5 6 Romans 14:12 Colossians 3: 25 Revelations 22:12

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Great white throne : judgment seat of King Jesus
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works
Jeremiah
When we mention gossip as sin A question people often ask is, "What exactly is gossip?" Because very often the definition can be blurry and Iconfusing.woulddescribe gossip as revealing negative information about someone with a malicious motive to destroy their Ireputationtcouldinvolve speaking negative things behind people's backs, yet pretending to them and it's an act of betrayal.
Information shared through gossip is always meant to destroy, not with a motive of love or kindness Gossip is betrayal because the person entrusted you with information about themselves, but you betray that trust and use it against them
WHAT IS GOSSIP?
Clearly the reason of revealing this information to the others was for correction, not to gain pleasure out of it, and God will truly see your heart and know the real motive. God cannot be deceived and sees the real motive of the heart on why you revealed that
EXACTLY
A R T I C L E B Y : R A C H A E L M U S H A L A
The best way we could deal with it is to do to others as we would have them do to us If we would be hurt if someone revealed such information about us, it means the person we are talking about with no intention to help whatsoever would also be hurt The motive of gossip is always negative, meant for harm, never to build and Whelphen you are revealing information about people,deep down your heart you will always know the reason you are revealing that information,even when you can lie to people, your heart knows the truth
Ginformationossipinvolves getting pleasure out of revealing negative information with no intention to help whatsoever

"He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips " Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers "
Proverbs 20:19
Sometimes you can reveal negative information to people who are in a position to help the person with the motive of your heart being to seek help for this person, that is not gossip Or you can reveal negative information regarding something that transpired between you and someone else with a clear motive of seeking help on how to solve the problem For example, the Bible says when your brother or sister wrongs you and you fail to solve the problem between you, go and tell two others in church so that you all sit together and solve the problem (Matthew 18:15-18).
Sometimes people can try to cover up gossip and say, "oh we need to pray for him/her" after gossiping someone, but in reality the intent of the information they revealed was to hurt the person's reputation, not to help or pray for the person People can try to deceive themselves but deep down their hearts they always know what they are really trying to achieve and God also sees their hearts
"You tricked me to kill you over 2,000 years ago and that my mistake released your blood that keeps releasing mercy that defeats me daily" Please My Lord and my God, let me kill more of them, they are cold, they have left your commandments, they have created human gods, they have designed 21st century Christianity, they have neglected the instructions you gave them, their churches are now disco halls, over 70% of them didn't go to church because they love you, they only come because the hated poverty and seeking for prosperity
My Lord, you love them but they don't love you They only love the earth despite you warning them not to 20
I have succeeded in turning them to human anointing worshippers, I have silenced many of their preachers with Twealthheydon't think about you, they are selfish, self centered and they aren't preparing for eternity
Lucifer started rolling on the floor as he spoke: "My Lord, you only allow me to kill a few of them everyday. You kept your mercy available for them all"
IS THE LORD JESUS IN IT ? (part 6 - a true story) OUT OF BODY OUT OF BODY BY: FEMI OLUYAMOJU
All my pride, arrogance and self accomplishment was gone I am alive only by grace I am a nobody on my own I am only relevant if Christ allows I saw the assistant pastor looking at my wife strangely I could see the hunger in his eyes I almost got angry but I cautioned myself
Let me cause a major disaster, let me cause the wall of their fanciful auditorium to fall over them, let me poison their food so that they can die in tens of thousands Let me attack their jamboree called conferences and conventions
My Lord, you created me to destroy, you created me to kill, please let me kill, let me destroy Let me do my job on a greater scale My Lord they aren't ready to sacrifice anything for you, they have watered down Christianity, the little foxes I sponsored into the church some years ago have become leaders and leading millions astray I have introduced once saved forever saved and they bought the ideas despite all you wrote in the Bible My foxes had changed the meaning of grace They have lifted prosperity above holiness Please let me kill them in their cold state Please my Master, give me the go ahead MERCY SPOKE: MY LOVE FOR MANKIND IS GREATER THAN YOUR HUNGER FOR DESTRUCTION I STILL HAVE OVER 7,000 PERSONS, WHO WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO THE NEW RELIGION, WHO WILL LEAD THE NEW REVIVAL I HAVE SOULS WHO I HAVE MADE HUNGRY FOR ME AND THEY WILL STILL CORRECT THE ERRORS IN MY CHURCH I WILL STILL RAISE WRITERS, SINGERS, TEACHERS, MINISTERS WHO WILL LEAD MY PEOPLE BACK TO ME. LUCIFER, YOUR REQUEST ISN'T GRANTED Then Mercy looked at me: I AM GIVING YOU A VERY UNCOMMON GRACE TO GO BACK, WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING CORRECT YOUR ERRORS AND GLORIFY ME IT'S ONLY IN ME THAT YOU HAVE LIFE GO BACK JUDE At this point, I heard people calling my name, I woke up in the hospital My wife and some other ministers were by my bed side praying The assistant pastor was holding the hands of my wife in prayers When I came around, everyone jumped for joy My wife was hugging the assistant pastor instead of hugging me Not withstanding my state, I rushed down to my wife, hugged her to myself and brought her to my bed space in the hospital She was surprised and my assistant was Iangrywasscheduled to give a speech at the end of the musical concert, it was shortly before my speech that my wife came to look for me She called the other ministers
GHmmmodplease grant me wisdom
I shook my head where I was seated If only they knew that all the praises we rendered during the very expensive praise program was not accepted by heaven, if only they knew that it was only by mercy that I am alive today
OUT OF BODY
I heard my ministers praising God, some of them were saying that, it was the praise program that didn't allow me to die They claim that the praises was so hot that God had to stop death from taking me away Others claimed that it was the arrow of death that came for me and their prayers by the hospital bed stopped the arrow Some others were boasting that it was my Anointing that saved me from death
I thanked everyone for their support, I asked everyone to leave except my wife and my assistant pastor If I can't keep malice and I can't get angry, then I have to deal with this issue now
To be continued
As soon as the others left, the assistant pastor burst into Gtongues....Hmmmodpleasegrantme wisdom
I noticed my wife was timid and my heart broke I must have been so tough on her
21
I didn't know when I shouted "Oga stop abeg" (meaning "man please stop") They both looked at me surprised at my outburst
Assistant pastor was telling everyone not to bother, that I am already dead At the insisting of my wife, I was smuggled out of the church to the nearest hospital
I heard the Holy Spirit clearly telling me to shut up and look Iuplooked up and saw a new born baby floating on the ceiling, the baby was desperately looking for help As soon as the baby saw that I could see her, she beckoned that I should please follow her I told my wife and my assistant to follow me They both were bemused, they exchanged a secret look then followed me
BE OF GOOD COURAGE
To be Like Jesus Consider first that God’s great goal for each of us as His children is to “be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters” (Romans 8:29). God wants to make you and me like Jesus! This is only fitting, since He has called us to be members of His eternal, heavenly family. This means that we need to behave like His sons and daughters and look like His sons and daughters Jesus, our elder Brother, sets the pattern. That’s also why Paul wrote: Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand And we boast in the hope of the glory of God Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (Romans 5:1 5)
How Suffering in This World Can UPrepare s for Eternity
Even through the hard times or, in many cases, especially through the hard times God is developing our character and deepening our faith
It is sometimes easy to think that, unless we are winning people to Jesus and playing a direct, active role in world evangelism, we are not bearing fruit for eternity After all, what is more important than snatching people from the jaws of hell and turning them into citizens of heaven?
F E A T U R E D
In the words of missionary C T Studd, “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last ” To be sure, the Great Commission is always near and dear to the heart of God And one way or another, through our praying or our giving or our witnessing or our teaching or our training or our worship or something else, we should be involved in the process of winning the lost and making disciples, even if tangentially But we make a grave error if we think that it is only through sharing the gospel with the lost or making disciples that we can bear fruit for eternity God is looking at far more than that.
22
''You are being tried in the fire for a short time today so that you will shine brightly forever. It is a good exchange.''
And these lessons can only be learned in the midst of terrible pain and inexplicable loss This is when we really trust. This is where our character shines He continued, “What I found is there are measures of His presence that you can only find in the valley of the shadow of death He’s not a vending machine I don’t get to put in a quarter and get out of it what I want It’s a relational journey. I’ve experienced His kindness, His miracles at a level I could never earn or deserve ” We Will Not Have This Opportunity in Eternity: To Love God Through Pain He added, “I just don’t have the right to reevaluate what He is like because I’ve experienced loss It doesn’t work that way ”
And he noted that, throughout eternity, enjoying the presence of God, he will not have this opportunity to glorify the Lord while experiencing such deep pain
23
Just three days after losing his wife (she was only 67), Pastor said from his pulpit, “The level of revelation God gives you will always be equal to the level of mystery you’re willing to live with And the inability to live with mystery is your resistance to child likeness It’s child likeness that gives us access to dimensions and realms of the kingdom that you can’t get in any other way.”
So be encouraged if you find yourself in a deep, dark valley now As you honor the Lord and worship, not only are you bringing Him glory in the present But you are preparing yourself to be with Him forever.
He said: May I never be found critiquing God when things don’t go my way May I always be found having a heart ready to be critiqued by Him Is God my friend? He is But He is my Lord first, and I’ll never have the pain I’m feeling right now in eternity, so in this moment it is a privilege to respond rightly to the Lord of my life with deeper trust and devotion I will bow before the Lamb on the Throne in awe, and worship Him forever, but never will I have the face to face chance to do that while I’m in pain, so in this moment I choose to do that When I said yes to Jesus, I gave up my right to fully understand or be in charge of my life
F E A T U R E D
This happens in a unique way only in this world, since in the world to come we will see the Lord face to face and faith will no longer be needed. Here, on earth, our faith is tried and our character is tested Honoring Him through the fiery trials helps prepare us for eternity.
A Pastor that recently lost his wife This Pastor has helped to articulate this with tremendous power and depth after losing his wife Beni to cancer after years of prayer for her healing He is well known for praying for the sick and for teaching that God delights in healing His children )
RAPTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND COMING
The Rapture is not the same as the second coming of Christ At the Rapture Christ will appear in the air He will not be visible to the inhabitants of the earth His mission then will be to resurrect all the dead Saints, who, along with the living Believers, will put on immortality and shall be caught up to be with the Lord
This event will take place in the twinkling of an “eye” before the great and terrible day of the Lord, when the wrath of God will be poured down from His cup of indignation without mixture an event fitly called the great tribulation which will happen immediately after the rapture.
The time of the rapture is unknown, even by the angels (Matthew 24:36) The rapture will be heralded by the voice of the archangel and the blowing of the trumpets signaling the end of the church age 1 Thessalonians 4:16 17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord Any moment from now, the trumpet shall sound and He that shall come will come and will not tarry It is very certain that Christ is coming back again. He assured the Church of the certainty of His coming (John 14:1 3) Angels proclaimed it. Apostles and Saints throughout the ages preached it All the signs of His coming are daily being fulfilled. It is now time to get ready for Christ coming
KEY VERSE: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 58 (51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be (changed.53)Forthis corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality (54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory (55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy (victory?56)The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law (57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
The second coming will not take place until after the great tribulation This is the time when the saints will come back with the LORD JESUS after the great tribulation and wedding feast (Zachariah 14: 3 5), Revelations 19:9, Revelations ,Revelations 19: 11 16) to come and dwell on earth for 1000 years (Revelations 20 1 4) then after the Armageddon (Revelations 20: 7-10, Revelations 16:14-16).

The Lord has given many of us promises Promises of who we will become, what we will do, and what He has in store for us Our purpose is always linked to the promises God has given us Usually, these promises are spoken in our bleakest moments They are spoken at a time when we have reached the end of the road or when we are hanging on by a thread, unsure of whether anything good can come from our lives. It is for this very reason that God chooses these moments to speak because His voice and plans are to give us hope to keep holding on. Although we cannot see past today, God sees the future and end point. In the Book of Exodus, the children of Israel were being enslaved, ill treated, and they were being held in bondage. They were a chosen generation with seeds of promise within them, yet the enemy had them in chains. They were crying out to God to deliver them and take them into the land He had promised them generations ago Is Working

While You Are Waiting, He
The Lord had spoken a promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of all the plans He had for His people, yet their current situation in Egypt was one filled with darkness and pain Where was God? Had he forgotten His Words? Why was He taking so long to answer? These must have been questions many asked like many of us are asking God today Yet, whilst they may have cried out to God waiting and wondering, God was working. He was working on a mother who had the faith and courage to put her baby boy in a basket and position him on the waters for purpose. Whilst the children of Israel were questioning God on when His deliverance would come, God was working on the deliverer in the desert, appearing to him in a burning bush with a mandate for the mission ahead.
Chanelle Fairlene Pillay
The Israelites did not reach the promised land because of their grumbling, moaning, and their ingratitude to The Lord Even Moses, the great deliverer, did not enter the promised land because of one act of disobedience Mary, on the other hand, was perfectly positioned for her promise to come forth. Although such a message had never been heard of before, her words were profound when she said, “Be it unto me according to thy word ” Today, that should be our cry. Be it unto me according to thy word Whatever The Lord has promised you, keep holding on, for He will bring it to pass In Genesis 28:15, The Lord spoke some powerful words to Jacob; words that we can hold onto today. He said, “And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of…” That is His promise to you today He will not leave you until He has done everything He has promised While you are waiting, He is surely working. He is working on the promise, and most importantly, He is working on you.

In the New Testament, we see the people waiting for the Messiah and Saviour of the world God had been silent for hundreds of years They, too, were remembering the promises spoken by the prophets of Old about the One who would come and redeem and save them from sin and captivity So, where was He? Where was the promise? Yet, whilst they were waiting and wondering, a young virgin girl was having an angelic encounter with a message from the throne She would conceive and bring forth the Holy One When God gives you a promise, He will bring it to fulfilment If He spoke it, He will do it All He requires from you is obedience, trust, and a heart of gratitude In your process of waiting, you are to obey His Voice, and obey His Word In your process of wondering, you are to trust Him and His timing In your process to the promise, you are to be grateful for all that He has already done and have hope that more is to come because He said it
In Exodus 24:3, Moses came down from the mountain and told the people what the Lord had commanded They all said, Okay! No problem! As we shall see in a few days, that didn't last long The Israelites said yes over and over to God, and then said, no, over and over again So much like us! It's a good thing God forgives us over and over again. It is always interesting to read the full account of the commandments and their amplified meaning in Exodus, because it gives an idea of what the civilization was like in those days The commandments were not all totally new as many of them were based on the code of Hammurabi. The first three commandments were new as they listed the proper behavior towards God The other seven concerned social behavior and social structure
So, what's the difference between Hammurabi's code and the Ten Commandments other that the first three? The difference is in the why. We don't obey the commandments because they promote civility within society; we obey them because this is what God has called us to do Regardless of the punishments proscribed in Exodus for different offenses, we are called to obey God Period!
WE WILL DO IT ?
It is the same today with Jesus law of love which calls for us to work for justice, help the poor, etc. We don't help others because it's a nice thing to do, even though it is, we do it because we are called as Christians to take care of one another Why do you obey, why do I? Is it because we want to avoid punishment, or because it's the right thing to do

God told the children of Israel to keep His Word before them at all times Why? Because God wanted to demonstrate His greatness, kindness, and generosity through them as a people to the nations. It was impossible to do this while they had the wrong mindset. Even though God had freed them from 400 years of Egyptian captivity, they still carried a slave mentality. The Bible says they had no faith, and consistently doubted Him and complained against Him They simply didn't see themselves from His perspective That's why they needed to constantly be reminded of His truth He was their God and had set out ways for them to live so that it would go well with them and their descendants! This principle carries through for us today! Under the New Covenant, we need to constantly renew our minds to the perspective of Who God sees us to be, so that we can live free and flourish! 1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.". As you meditate on God's Word, the Holy Spirit reveals truth to you that will bring supernatural change! You will see yourself as He does and live in the fullness of life He has saved you into!

Romans 2:29 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise[a] from God, not from people.
