Pro  11:27  The spirit which makes one  seek evil

For mature in Christ

For more than a year I am teaching about baby food and mature food in Bible. Today while I was meditating Bible, I was stuck with the verse,                  

“Therefore, those of us who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will show you how to think”. Phi 3:15

Here Paul gives certain exhortations about  the  thought patterns of  "those who are mature in Christ".  This is not for infants in Christ. ( Heb. 5:13, Gal.4:1,2)

1. It is about the  goal one sets for life.
2. Goal is: He wants to know 3 things.
3. The Messiah
4. What Christ’s resurrection power is like.
5. What it means to share in his sufferings by becoming like him in his death.
6. This goal was not yet achieved when Paul  was writing it.
7. God granted him his  request by allowing Paul  "to become like Christ in his death".
8. Paul  was pursuing it all through his life. (V 12)
9. But Paul  kept pursuing his goal, hoping  somehow to embrace it . And, we the  future

generation only know that he achieved what he pursued.

Dear Church, have we set a goal in our life? In India we are entering into an era the same as in which Paul lived!

Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins

There was a particular priest whom I held in high esteem because of the guidance he gave me, both in my personal life and also in my  administrative works of the religious order. I had great confidence  in him that he will support my new venture of leaving the Congregation and committing myself to Gospel work. But  he could not understand my stand and  the new light  I had received from God. When I went to meet him personally, he insisted that I have to obey my superiors and be obedient to the religious rules. I was terribly disappointed and hence cut off all  relationship with him. I did not contact  him after  that. One day he sent word through a sister, “I am in my death bed; please ask Angelica to come and see me”. It did not make any impact on me  because for me he was already dead and gone! Even though I went to meet him, I did not have the maturity to deal with him the way I should have! Today when I think of it, I feel bad. May God forgive this iniquity!

Repentance and forgiveness of sins

“Repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luk 24:47 

In the above Bible verse, let us  replace the words, “Repentance and forgiveness of sins” with “Gospel” 

Gospel = Repentance and forgiveness of sins

Can we   make another man/woman repent for his wrongdoings?

We see it happen in families. Parents can  make their children  repent. How is it possible? Children know that their parents love them, they live for them and all  their hard work is for them. Out of this love relationship they get the hold on their children and convict them of their wrongdoings.

Without having any  relationship with a person, you cannot make one repent of their sins. You may punish a person, even put him in jail as per the authority given to him but one cannot make him repent. He will become all the more bitter  and  revengeful. Only the Holy Spirit can make a person repent for his  sins.

“When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment Jn 16:8 

Now the Holy  Spirit is in  the world. All those who have received  the Holy Spirit,  is given the gift of  repentance  for their sins. 

Can  the Holy Spirit  convict the  whole world of its sins? John 16:8 says, yes He can. . How is it possible?. World means  the planet earth.

How can He do it for the whole  world and make them  repent of their sins.

We all know  that the Holy Spirit is a spirit and He can operate  only  through  human beings. Those who surrender their body, soul and spirit to Him,  can be used by the Holy Spirit. Making use of their mouth, He will speak;  Making use of their hands,  He will write etc.

Convergence Of Signs Prepares The Way For Third Temple

"The last days aren't near, they are here," said Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries. "We have the convergence of all of the predicted signs. The re-birth of Israel started the convergence in 1948. We see the push towards globalism as outlined in Revelation 13. We see all nations having ‘distress with perplexity' as foretold in Luke 21:25. We see the persecution of Christians and the rise of anti-Semitism. We see the world turning against Israel as predicted in Zechariah 12. These and dozens of additional ‘signs of the times' remind believers that the hour is very late.

"I have often said that Israel's re-birth is the primary sign, followed by issues surrounding Jerusalem, followed by Temple Mount activity. Israel is the watch, Jerusalem is the minute hand, and the Temple Mount is the second hand. It took the recapture of Jerusalem in June of 1967 to allow this to unfold. That is why the world has tried to divide Jerusalem for decades. This is a way in which Satan can slow the end-time plan." Markell also believes there needs to be a literal temple rebuilt for the end times events described in the Bible to take place.

"It says in II Thessalonians 2:3-4 that the Antichrist will enter the Temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be god," she told WND. "This is at the three-and-a-half-year point in the Tribulation. He will demand that the Jews worship him. That means there is a Temple and there isn't one now. So one has to be built. The Jews are making preparation to build that Temple, but they have no idea that such a ‘lawless one' will occupy it someday and demand worship. "They are already looking for a perfect red heifer to sacrificial purposes. Priestly robes are being prepared. Unfortunately, after the Six-Day War in 1967, they gave away the Temple Mount to the Muslim world and that is the area that is needed for this Third Temple."

However, there are mixed views on whether there will actually be a literal, physical Third Temple in the short term. Indeed, Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries, author of "God's Day Timer" and one of the leading advocates for reincorporating Jewish practices into the Christian faith, argues a renewal of faith is more important than obsessing over details of physical construction.

"While many Christians get excited about the building of the Temple from mostly an eschatological point of view, my hope for a rebuilt Temple is based on how badly the world needs the presence of God back on Earth in a real, tangible way," Biltz told WND.

"God asked the prophet Haggai why Israel was content to dwell in their houses while the House of God lies in waste. Today the same question is being put forth. I find the answer to be because of political reasons and a question of who will be in control, the political establishment or a Torah court. It may be a matter that will have to wait for the Messiah to establish when he rules and reigns from Jerusalem. May it happen in our day!"

The Bible story is more miraculous and astounding than you could have imagined. See the remarkable proof of the unchanging nature of God – and the exciting clues to what awaits at the end of days in "God's Day Timer" by Mark Biltz, available as a book or documentary now in the WND Superstore.

Joel Richardson, the New York Times bestselling author of "The Islamic Antichrist" believes there will be something on the Temple Mount. However, what that will actually be, he cannot say. "Certainly, we are nearing the time where biblical sacrifices will be reinstated on the Temple Mount, as the Scriptures state will take place in the acharayit yawm, or last days," he told WND. "Personally, I believe that this will not take place until after there is some significant restructuring of geopolitical realities. I believe that we will see a few drastic Middle Eastern wars and a shifting of present conditions before any such construction will begin. But only time will tell, and God knows best. "Now, whether the forthcoming Temple will be an actual brick and mortar structure or merely something as simple as a tent, we simply do not know. What we do know is that a physical structure of some sort will be re-established on the Temple Mount. The Scriptures make this clear. Theologically speaking, this is going to be one of the most profoundly controversial and divisive realities in all of redemptive history." Richardson warns the reconstruction of the Temple, or whatever structure is created, will open up a huge debate within Christianity, especially about whether "Jewish" practices should be reintegrated into the lives of believers.

"Today there is already tremendous controversy within the Body of Christ over matters of Torah observance such as whether or not Gentile Christians should keep the Sabbath, or eat Kosher, etc.," he said. "Because there is not presently a Temple, however, we have been spared the far greater controversy of whether or not we should participate in the various Temple rituals and sacrifices, etc. Many Christians will point out that the time is coming when the Antichrist will sit in the Temple, and thus Christians should not be involved in any forthcoming Temple.

"Now, at a certain point, the Antichrist will indeed enter and defile the Temple. Before that happens, however, the Scriptures refer to this structure as ‘The Temple of God.' One cannot defile something unless it was first considered ‘holy.' Other evangelicals will be quick to say that Christ's sacrifice was once and for all, and thus any Christian participation in any Temple rituals or sacrifices would be akin to blasphemy. But the Apostles themselves obviously understood the once-and-for-all nature of Jesus' atoning work, yet they continued to take part in the Temple activities long after His crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension."

Richardson suggested Christians excited about efforts to rebuild the Temple should think long and hard about the questions that will be raised after its construction.

"When the Temple is rebuilt – and it will be – the question will not be as simple as whether or not it is OK for followers of Jesus to participate in the Temple rituals, but rather the questions will be much more complicated and theologically nuanced," Richardson explained. "Should only Messianic Jews participate in Temple rituals or should all Christians do so? What aspects of the Temple rituals may we be involved in? Obviously, the time will come when the Antichrist will defile the Temple and cause offerings to cease, but before that time, how exactly will we relate to it?

"Again, as I said, this will likely be the single greatest controversy to ever face the Christian movement, in all of its history. Although that time is not yet here, it is coming quite soon and it is time to begin seriously wrestling through these very real issues."
