Satan is the enemy. We have power to defeat Satan. Acticle Satan Divides but God Unites by Pastor Max Solbrekken. Christ's Victory - Satan's Defeat. How to conquer the DevilSATAN DIVIDES BUT 
GOD UNITES
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken

Satan is the Father of the 'Divide and Conquer' doctrine which has been used effectively by totalitarian nations like the Nazis, Communists and Muslims and others in the centuries past.  Of course, He has used it in democratic countries, as well as others for centuries.

Therefore, it should not be a surprise that he has employed that disastrous tactic in almost all forms of government, academia, business, society, the home and even in the church!

It was LUCIFER who initiated the 'divide and conquer' strategy.  He alone is responsible for the divisiveness that is so prevalent in the world today, pitting nation against nation, race against race, gender against gender, brother against brother and man against God!  It was he was rose up in rebellion against his Creator.  It was Lucifer, the trusted archangel, who influenced one third of the holy angels of God to follow him in an unholy insurrection against the Almighty!

The Bible states: "And there was a was in Heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not, Neither was their place found any more in Heaven.  And the great Dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

"And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven; Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ; for the accuser of the Brethren is cast down which accused them before our God day and night.  And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the end."

"Therefore rejoice, ye Heavens and ye that dwell in them.  Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!  For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." (Revelation 12:7-12)

Satan turned man against God. Satan enticed Judas with greed. Satan is the enemy. We have power to defeat Satan. Acticle Satan Divides but God Unites by Pastor Max Solbrekken. Christ's Victory - Satan's Defeat.SATAN TURNED MAN AGAINST GOD!

Satan is a cleaver manipulator, divider, destroyer and destabilizer!  He destroys individuals, marriages, homes, churches, communities, nations and civilization itself.  In the beginning he destroyed the beautiful relationship that our Heavenly Father had with ADAM and EVE, which has had a catastrophic effect on the human race ever since!

As a consequence, man was banished from the Garden of Eden, lost the beautiful Father/son intimacy with their Creator and God, Man's innocence and right to eternal life was snatched away as sin, fear and death loomed large before them, causing fear, guilt and a terror filled leap into an unknown future!

Almost immediately, the 'divide and conquer spirit' brought discord between the sons of Adam and Eve.  Satan injected jealousy into the heart of Cain again Abel, causing the first murder on planet earth.  It is not a natural impulse for a man to murder his brother, but Cain fell for Satan's lies and took his brother's life.  Murder has been duplicated millions of times over the centuries!

SATAN ENTICED JUDAS WITH GREED!

It is almost unbelievable that our Lord would choose twelve disciples and spend three years training and teaching them all about the Kingdom of God, righteousness, holiness, mercy, truth, Heaven and Hell, and one of them betrayed Him.  Jesus had nurtured the twelve Apostles, shared the deep mysteries of His incarnation, role as God's Paschal Lamb, His death, resurrection and coming Glory and yet His secretary Treasurer, JUDAS, stole from the Bag and eventually sold Him for 30 pieces of silver.

The Bible says: "And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared Him. Then ENTERED SATAN into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being one of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude." (Luke 22: 3-6)

JUDAS’ betrayal of Jesus for money is a stark lesson to us of the sinister and evil mind set of Satan in his war against the Gospel and Christ’s Body, His Church! Ever since then, the Devil has on numberless occasions found dishonest, jealous and greedy workers in God’s Kingdom who take advantage of gullible, unsuspecting believers to support them economically and psychologically, often to their own hurt and that of the Church. Anyone who hurts the Church to gain his own ends is Satan’s tool!

Remember, that Satan DIVIDES but Jesus UNITES. Satan divided man from God, but Jesus brought man back to God through His sacrificial death on the Cross!

articles on the devil, satan, evil spirits. How to have power over Satan,  the devilMUSLIM NATIONS HATE ONE ANOTHER!

Fast forward to our time and see the rage, hate, dishonesty, pillage, mayhem and murder, happening now between Muslim nations, as they reach for the golden ring of power over their brethren. Although they hate each other, they hate Jews and Christians more and according to their teaching will one day rule the world through a Muslim Caliphate, led by the Grand Mahdi or the 12th Imam!

We believe that horrific ‘Murderer in Chief’ could very well be the Antichrist who will be cast into the Lake of Fire together with the False Prophet and Satan himself. Here are Jesus’ Words on the subject: "And the Devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the Beast (antichrist) and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Revelation 20: 10)

Their Sharia Law gives them the right to kill every Jew and Christian to set up a world Caliphate of Sharia Law. How Satan must exult in his evilness as he sees the raping, beheadings, torture and murders happening now in the Middle East, Africa and other nations by al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood!

Christ's Victory - Satan's defeat, Bible scriptures on satan the devil. We have power over the devil, how to fight the devilAN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS

"Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares." (Matthew 13:24-26)

SATAN has been busy sowing tares among the wheat. He has infiltrated many churches with the promotion of his soft sell Gospel, greasy grace, easy believism, same-sex marriage, abortion, Chrislam and other damning doctrines!

The Bible warns: "These six things both the Lord Hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him...he that soweth DISCORD among brethren." (Proverbs 6:16-19)

"Now, I beseech you, brethren, Mark them which cause DIVISIONS and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoid them." (Romans 16:17)

St. Paul says: "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

"Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, make you perfect, through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ: to Whom be glory forever and ever.  Amen."  (Hebrews 13:17, 20, 21)  PRAISE THE LORD!


DEAR FRIEND:  Please write with your prayer requests.  We will pray for you and I will write you back!  When you write, please ask for a free prayer cloth over which we have prayed with faith in Jesus' Name, for your deliverance and salvation.        - Pastor Max Solbrekken


PREPARE FOR BATTLE

There is power in the name of Jesus. How to fight the Devil, how to have POWER over the satan devilHow to conquer the devil
The Devil is real, Satan the devil is your enemy. The devil satan wants to destroy you. Bible scriptures , full armour of God, power over the devilHow to have power over the devil, demons & evil spirits

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

THE DEVIL IS REAL, HE IS YOUR ENEMY.  THE DEVIL WANT TO DESTROY YOU

"....that through DEATH He might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is the DEVIL: And DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:14-15)

For the past 40 years, I have had the privilege of counseling people who have written, telephoned or approached me privately regarding family and personal problems or other crisis, in which they were deeply involved.

People often call, muttering on the other end of line, "Why did I do it? What makes me drink? I've got to pull myself together.  I'm losing my mind."

They often end up by saying, "I hadn't planned to do it, Pastor.  What went wrong"?  Or they might say, "The devil made me do it, the devil made me do it".

A few years ago a Hollywood comedian got a lot of laughs out of his supposedly funny quip, "The Devil Made Me Do It."  That doesn't seem funny anymore, after the movies that have stirred millions, like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen.

The Son of Sam, the Hillside Strangler, Charles Manson and the Sharon Tate killings, together with ritualistic killings by the occultists and devil worshippers have proved that.  Homosexual murdered like John W. Gacey, who sexually violated little boys and then murdered them, have  left a solemn imprint on us all, regarding the devil's ability to make people do his bidding.

The Bible states that some people are led by the devil, to do evil things.  Those, however, who are taken captive by him - at his will - are able to extricate themselves from his evil grasp by calling upon Jesus Christ and trusting in His shed blood for the redemption of their souls!  "And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." (2 Timothy 2:26)

Some time ago a Protestant denomination spent in excess of one million dollars to investigate and research the topic of demons and other related matters.  After a year of studies they came up with the conclusion that there is no devil.

Here is their reasoning: "If they would preach that there is a personal devil, people might become disturbed emotionally, so it's better to do away with the doctrine that there is a personal devil."   HOW ARROGANT, IGNORANT, UNCONSCIONABLE, DISHONEST & UNBIBLICAL.

Beloved, you can rely on God's Word and the truth is that there is indeed a very alive, real, personal devil that is the enemy of God and the enemy of man.  This however, does not disturb the children of God, because the Bible says:

Greater is He that is in you, that he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

This Scripture offers great comfort to multiplied millions of Christians.  Our faith in Jesus puts the devil on notice, that we are off limit to his insidious attacks and that we have the authority to disrupt his plans and purposes.

 how to have POWER over the satan devil, how to fight the devilWHEN OUR FAITH IS IN JESUS CHRIST - SATAN HAS NO POWER OVER US

The devil has absolutely no power over us when our faith is in Christ, for Jesus said: "Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19)

This Scripture offers great comfort to multiplied millions of Christians! Our faith in Jesus puts the devil on notice, that we are off-limit to his insidious attacks and that we have the authority to disrupt his plans and purposes.

He has absolutely no power over us when our faith is in Christ, for Jesus said:  "Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:  and nothing shall by any means hurt you". (Luke 10:19)  The Bible says "Submit yourselves therefore unto God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

As the demons were afraid of Jesus and fled when He commanded them to go, they must also obey us when we speak with faith and authority in the name of Jesus.

The demons screamed out, "Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us?  I know thee who thou art the Holy One of God.  Art thou come hither to torment us before our time"? (Mark 1:24)

You may say: "But that was Jesus"!  True!  How about a Spirit-filled deacon by the name of Philip who went down to Samaria and preached Christ to them?

Philip had such a great revival that the entire city came to hear him preach and multitudes received the Lord Jesus: "For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed." (Acts 8:7)

The Holy Record reports that the devil's power was broken and evil spirits had to surrender to the commands of a Spirit-filled servant of God.  No wonder Philip had such power of the devil.  Jesus had promised: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils." (Mark 16:17)

 how to fight the devil, the Devil, how to have POWER over the satan devil,PAUL CAST OUT THE SPIRIT OF DIVINATION

A fortune-teller troubled Paul and Silas in the city of Philippi for several days.  After the spirit of divination was discerned and cast out of her by St. Paul, she was unable to continue 'telling fortunes'.  Paul and Silas were jailed and bound in a dungeon, but God sent an earthquake to set them free.  And the jailer was converted through this great miracle.

"And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most High God, which shows unto us the way of salvation.  And this did she many days.  But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.  And he came out the same hour." (Acts 16:16-18)

The Scripture says: "And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.  So that from this body were brought unto the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them." (Acts 19:11-12)

When the exorcists heard of St. Paul's success in casting of demons in Jesus' name, seven sons of a certain religious man tried unsuccessfully to duplicate that miracle.

"Then certain of the vagabond Jews, Exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus saying, We adjure you by Jesus Whom Paul preacheth.  And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.  And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know: but who are ye?"

"And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.  And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified." (Acts 19:13-17)

The evil spirit within this possessed man cried out to the seven sons of Sceva.  "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye"?  The original Greek actually reads: "Jesus I know, and Paul I am beginning to know".  Words had sprung through the devil's kingdom, and demons everywhere were talking about Paul's revivals.  They knew Jesus and they were beginning to know Paul, but who were these seven sons of Sceva?  They had no faith in God; they had no standing of righteousness, and the devil would not obey them.

The Bible records: "And when He (Jesus) had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases." (Matthew 10:1)  The Scripture declares that no only do we have power against unclean spirits, but we also have power over them.  "And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;"  (Mark 6:7)

Our Lord Jesus gave the apostles power to cast out devils: "As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:  freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:7-8)  The Holy Record states: "And they cast out devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them." (Mark 6:13)

JESUS GAVE THE 70 HIS POWER TO CAST OUT DEVILS

"After these things the Lord appointed another seventy also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come." (Luke 10:1)  The Bible says that they returned with great joy, and said: "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name." (Luke 10:17)  To this Jesus answered: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)  Jesus was saying - I was there when the devil was defeated; I saw him cast out of heaven - I saw him fall as lightning to the earth.  I saw his power broken and his works destroyed.

God has given us power over the devil, evil spirits and demons. Learn how to battle SatanWE ALSO HAVE POWER OVER THE DEVIL, DEMONS & EVIL SPIRITS

Yes, we also have power over the devil.  We have POWER OVER THE DEVIL and POWER AGAINST THE DEVIL.  The Bible says, "Behold, I give unto you power to: tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."  (Luke 10:19)

Satan had to obey when Jesus spoke to him!  Demons screamed out in terror when Jesus came near.  The devils trembled and feared and obeyed the command of the Master.  The devil, demons and evil spirits must also obey us, when we use the name of Jesus in faith.

JESUS CAME TO DESTROY SATAN'S WORK

The Bible says: "As He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)  NOW - TODAY.  We have His power today!  "Now are we the sons of God." (1 John 3:2)  We are children of God, heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.  "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." (Romans 8:17)

JESUS SAID: "HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO"

No wonder Jesus said: "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father." (John 14:12)  Yes, my beloved friend, you and I as Christians have power over the devil, we have power against the devil to bind him, to cast him out and to destroy the works of the devil.

The Bible says: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38)  Jesus said: "The thief (the devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)  No wonder St. John said: "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8)

Not only did Jesus come to this earth to destroy the works of the devil, but to destroy Satan himself.  The write to the Hebrews (probably St. Paul) states unequivocally: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through DEATH He might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is the DEVIL; And to DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:14, 15)

Satan, the devil is the hated enemy of man and GodSATAN - THE DEVIL IS THE HATED ENEMY OF GOD & MAN

Satan is the hated enemy of God and man, but our Lord has given His children power over him.

"There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh unto thy dwelling".  Jesus declared: "Nothing shall be any means hurt you".  "That wicked one cometh and hath nothing in Me."   St. Paul said, "Sin shall not have dominion over you."

THE DEVIL - SATAN HAS NO POWER OVER US

And our Lord stated, "I give unto you power over all the power of the enemy."  Jesus has given us power against all unclean spirits, to cast them out.  SATAN IS POWERLESS OVER US.

The Bible does not say that Satan has power over us; to put disease upon us, to make us fearful, to hurt us or to injure us.  A THOUSAND TIMES NO.

The Bible says: "Submit yourself therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)  "The devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.  Whom resist steadfast in the faith." (1 Peter 5:8, 9)

IT IS TRUE - YOU AND I AS CHRISTIANS HAVE POWER OVER THE DEVIL

Jesus said: "I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)  St. Paul declared: "Nay, in all things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." (Romans 8:37)  The Apostle to the Gentiles cried out: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13)

The Word of God says: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35-39)

The Bible speaks of Satan's total defeat: "At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11)  Praise God.

Jesus called the devil Satan, which means the ADVERSARY, and Satan is the adversary of God and the devil Satan is the adversary of man.  HE IS OUR GREATEST ENEMY!  The devil is responsible for sin, sickness, disease, fear, depression, torment and death.  Satan (the devil) conspired against God.  The devil led a revolt against the Almighty.  Satan (the devil) is indeed the adversary.  St. Peter said: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8)

The Scripture tells us about a man who planted good seed in a field and in the morning, tares had sprung up among the wheat.  The husbandman said: "An enemy hath done this." (Matthew 13:28)

YES - THE DEVIL IS YOUR WORST ENEMY

Yes, my beloved friend, the devil is your enemy!  The devil works through the flesh, through the world through his evil emissaries, the demons.  Satan (the devil) is highly organized; the devil is out to defeat the purposes of God even though he knows he has NO chance of succeeding, for he has been defeated.

On Calvary's cross Jesus cried, "It is finished." (John 19:30)  The Greek word that Jesus used here is tetelastai.  Tetelestai means that the work of Christ to redeem lost mankind has been completed.

Jesus cried out "Tetelestai", bowed His head and gave up the ghost.  At that moment the veil in the temple in Jerusalem was torn from its top to the bottom, opening the way to God through His Son's vicarious death on the cross.  The word 'tetelstai' comes from a Greek verb teleo, which has three essential meanings:

Jesus was born to destroy the works of the devil, satanto finish something
POWER over the satan devil, how to fight the devil to fulfill something
the Devil, how to have POWER over the satan devil, how to fight the devil to pay what is owed

Jesus Christ had just completed the plan of the ages, the salvation of the human race.  He had fulfilled every Old Testament Scriptures that the prophets had written about the coming Messiah, and He had paid our sin debt in full so that we could be saved.

Three days and three nights later, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead for our justification, and forever sealed the doom of the devil in the lake of fire. (Acts 2:31-34;  Acts 3:14-15;  Acts 4:1, 10;  Romans 1:4)

SPIRITUAL WARFARE - THE BATTLE WE ARE FIGHTING IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

The Bible reveals that the battle we are fighting is NOT CARNAL.  It is not a natural, ordinary battle, but is of a spiritual nature.  We have God's weapons and we have power with God over the devil.  "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itseldf against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4)

We have power over the devil (Luke 10:19) for we are ambassadors of the kingdom of God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)  We are servants of the living God; (Romans 6:22) sons and daughters of God; (2 Corinthians 6:18) heirs and joint-heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:17)

We are bone of Jesus' bone and flesh of His flesh; (Ephesians 5:30) our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost, (1 Corinthians 6:19) and we are members of the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:27)

Sin does not have dominion over us. (Romans 6:14)  Satan (the devil) does not have power over us.  We have power over the flesh, the world and the devil, because we are God's people.  We are God's children. (Galatians 3:26)  As He is, so are we in this world! (1 John 4:17)  The Bible states that the 'Old Man' is dead and that we are "hid with Christ in God"! (Colossians 3:3)

The Scriptures reveal that there are demons who work against God's children and against God's will: "Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words."

"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia." (Daniel 10:12-13)

I believe that Satan is highly organized and has some powerful generals, captains, lieutenants and others in his diabolical army, whose duty is to harass, tempt, condemn, seduce, deceive, destroy, steal, kill and murder God's children and try to thwart the purposes of God and do harm to His kingdom.

The Bible says: "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 2:5)  We can have the mind of Christ.  "Let the word of God dwell in you richly." (Colossians 3:16)  Jesus is the Living Word and the Bible is the written word.  When we read the Bible and allow God's Word free course, Christ dwells within us.  Upon receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, Christ is formed within us and we are born again.  The Bible says: "If any man have not met the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." (Romans 8:9)

When we receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, however, the Holy Spirit fills us and takes up permanent residence within us.  Jesus said: "He is with you and He shall be in you."  The Bible says: "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost..." (Acts 2:4)

Even though the devil is highly organized and seeks to destroy us, and even though he is constantly try to afflict, depress and torment, we can drive him out: "Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you."  When you draw nigh to God and God draws nigh to you, you receive power over the devil.  The Bible says: "If our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him..." (1 John 3:21-22)

The Scripture says: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)  Sin is what destroys the confidence we have in God.  Sin is a faith destroyer.  Sin destroys our confidence in God and in ourselves and allows the devil to slip in with his evil, devious, wicked and sinister devices to harass us, stop us, or destroy us.

We have power over him, however, for the Bible says: "They overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." (Revelation 12:11)  We can stop the devil, for the Bible says: "When the enemy, (the devil) shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of God shall lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)  The standard that the Holy Spirit lifts up stops the devil and he can proceed only so far; he can go no further.

The devil complained to God: "You have put a hedge around Job.  You are protecting him."  And that's true, God has placed a hedge around His people, and I believe that when the devil comes in like a flood to destroy, kill and murder, the Spirit of God raises up a standard to stop him. We are surrounded by the power of the Lord.

We are covered with His blood and filled with His Spirit.  The Word of God is within our hearts.  We have the name of Jesus on our lips, the angels protect us and we have brothers and sisters in Christ who pray for us and stand with us.  These are some of the agencies God used for our benefit.

Yes indeed, when the enemy - the devil - shall come in like a flood to devastate and destroy, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against him and stop him! The devil is like a dog on a leash, with only limited capabilities.

SATAN CAN ONLY GO SO FAR

If God hadn't allowed the devil to attack Job, Satan couldn't have touched him.  God gave the devil permission to touch Job's cattle, and his body, but not his life. (Job 2:6)  Satan had to leave the presence of God to smite Job with sore boils.  The Bible instructs us to remember the patience of Job and the end of the Lord.  Job was sick for approximately six months to a year, and then God healed him. He lived for another 140 years and never had another boil, as far as the Scriptures record.

God gave Job twice as much as he had before the devil afflicted him.  Many people laughingly speak about Job's boils and say that Christians have to suffer similarly, but the Bible records the "patience of Job" and it also speaks about "the end of the Lord". (James 5:11)  The end of the Lord was blessing, prosperity, healing, health, joy, peace and power over the devil.

St. Paul wrote to Timothy: "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)  Evidently, Timothy was afraid and St. Paul writing to his son in the faith saying: "You don't have to be afraid, Timothy.  God hasn't given us a spirit of fear."  Fear is a spirit and fear hath torment. The Scripture says: "Perfect love casts out fear." (1 John 4:18)

Fear is an evil spirit.  God has not given us any evil spirits; He has given us power over evil spirits.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but God has given us a spirit of power:  Power over fear:  power of sin:  power over the devil:  power over sickness:  power over disease and even power over death, which is the last enemy.

It seems that Timothy had gotten cold in his soul, because St. Paul wrote: "...that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands...Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner:  but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God." (2 Timothy 1:6,8)

Apparently, Timothy had become ashamed of St. Paul and he was afraid of persecution; afraid that he would also be persecuted.  Paul said: "You don't need to be afraid; God didn't give you that; the devil put that on you.  God has given you power, love and a sound mind."  Hallelujah.

BE PREPARED FOR BATTLE - - PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD

Writing to the Ephesians, St. Paul stated. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

"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.  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;"

"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is he word of God;  Praying always with al prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." (Ephesians 6:10-11)

Satan is organized and has power, but God has all power.  God is omnipotent.  The devil has wisdom, but God has all wisdom.  He is omniscient.  The Wicked One, Satan is strong, but God has all strength.  The Adversary (Satan) has many demons working for him, but God has more angels than Satan has evil spirits.  Satan has many lost souls in his camp, but God has hundreds of millions of believers across the world, that are equipped with His mighty power.  And one man with God's power is a majority.

JESUS GAVE US POWER OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY (THE DEVIL, SATAN, DEMONS, EVIL SPIRITS)

Jesus Christ said, "Behold, I give unto you power over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."  The Scripture says that 'one day' an angel will come from heaven and bind Satan, casting him into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.  It won't take ten thousand angels; it won't take a hundred angels' it will take one angel to bind the devil and cast him into the pits of hell forever.  (Revelation 20:1-3)  Hallelujah!  Amen.


CHRIST'S CROSS 
and the Final Solution
By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

Watching the almost apocalyptic beheading of twenty-one Egyptian Christians by hate filled, demon possessed Islamic terrorists - following in the steps of their genocidal seventh-century leader - almost makes any normal person sick.

"They are not human; worse than beasts", you say!  Yet, the Bible says that God loves them and Jesus died for their sins, as evil as they are. By looking into their eyes you see what happens when the devil takes control of a soul! Pray for their salvation!

Remember that Saul of Tarsus was a Jewish Terrorist who killed believers in Yeshua Ha Maschiach (Jesus the Messiah) and how Jesus changed him!   He changed his name to Paul and under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, wrote nearly one-half of the New Testament! Can these evil men change? Yes! With God all things are possible! (Mark 9: 23; 10:27)

Having said that, "Would you want these inflamed criminals, who have innocent blood on their hands living in your neighbourhood? To be free to molest, rape and brainwash your children and take over the country?" I think not!

These barbarians are taught from early childhood to hate, rape and murder defenseless people who do not bow their heads to the ground in worship to their 'moon god'. They are slaves to a politically dangerous system of cruelty and inhumanity!

Yet, as children of God and believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are commanded to love them, pray for them and to win them for Christ and His Kingdom.

JESUS CAME TO SAVE SINNERS

The Good News is that Jesus Christ came into the world to "seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10) He didn't come for the righteous, but He came for sinners. The Holy Bible states: "All have sinned and fallen short of the Kingdom of God." (Romans 3:23) That includes us all, no exceptions!

The Scriptures declare: "God hath concluded all under sin", so that we are all guilty and without excuse: "…That every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God." (Romans  3: 19). Again, St Paul writes: "The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 23)

We are saved by Grace  alone, through Faith  alone, and in Christ  alone! It is not by works of righteousness, but by His grace that we are saved. (Ephesians 2: 8, 9).  Christ alone suffered, bled and died for our sins to bring us to God.

The Bible says:  "Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation  (satisfaction,)  through faith in His  BLOOD,  to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed, through the forbearance of God;

"To declare, I say at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of Him which believeth in Jesus."  (Rom. 3: 24-26). The Sovereignty of God demanded punishment for SIN and the CROSS provided the FINAL SOLUTION.

For four thousand years, God, in His great mercy and kindness allowed the sacrifice of innocent lambs, goats and bullocks  (occasionally a red heifer)  to suffice.

When the ‘fullness of time’ had come, Almighty God gave Himself in His SON, to be the propitiation for our sins. The word propitiation means the  covering, satisfaction and expiation. The only RIGHTEOUS ONE, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, had to die to cover our sins and satisfy the demands of Divine Justice!

Our righteous, just and merciful  God had to bring judgment upon all sinners through the VICARIOUS death of a righteous man. No man could qualify for all are born in sin, therefore He had to pay the sin debt Himself.

The INCARNATION of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, settled the sin question for time and eternity, through His sacrificial death on Golgotha!

JESUS WAS BORN TO DIE IN OUR PLACE

That is why Jesus of Nazareth had to be crucified. He was born to die; to be crucified in order to pay the sin debt for all unrighteous humanity, to meet the demands of Divine Justice for our awful sins against the Almighty.

This is possibly the Bible’s greatest verse:  "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)

In 1978, I was preaching in Ghana, Africa in a large Gospel Crusade. I became very homesick. I could not eat their food. The netting around my bed was broken and since I had forgotten to take my anti-malaria pills, I didn't get much sleep.

I was very unhappy even though we were seeing many souls come to Christ and powerful miracles were taking place. I was studying  Romans when suddenly it jumped out at me with such force that I was shocked. Our Heavenly Father let me know what it cost Him to provide the Great Salvation that I was proclaiming so freely!

JESUS WAS SMITTEN OF GOD

I had read that verse many times but never fully understood it. I was torn to pieces as I saw how the Father had TURNED OVER’ His only begotten Son to murderers who would mock Him, spit in His face, scourge Him and nail Him to the Cross of shame for us.

I wondered how He could do that, as I personally would never allow anyone to harm my wife or children. Only over my dead body, would anyone molest, rape or kill my family!

Then He took me to Isaiah:  "Surely He hath borne our sicknesses  (heb.makob )  and carried our pains (heb.nasa): yet we did esteem Him stricken, SMITTEN OF GOD  and afflicted.

"But He was wounded for our  transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed.]

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the  Lord hath LAID UPON HIM  the iniquity of us all. Yet it  pleased to BRUISE HIM; He hath put HIM TO GRIEF..." (Isaiah 53: 4-6, 10)

God the Father laid our sins, sicknesses and pains on His Son. It was God the Father Who  smote  His Son for us, and what really tore me up was that  God was pleased  when Jesus suffered, bled and died for us!  I prayed and wept for several days after God had spoken to me!

Shortly after that crusade, God opened the door to ARGENTINA. No crusades were held there because of the Military Rule, but God opened the door for  Omar Cabrera  and me to reach Cordova for Christ.

Great Miracles happened every evening and the crowd grew to 48,000 on May 15, 1978. Omar Cabrera then continued the Crusades and his Cordova Church grew from zero to 8,000 in 9 months and within 18 months, Vision de Futuro had 150 churches with 450 pastors.

Then, Carlos Anacandia got saved and began to preach and the rest is history as he and others have reached several millions.

I SPOKE TO THE MILITARY

Interestingly, when Omar contacted me his heart was to go to Paraguay, but that wasn't working out. The Holy Spirit put Argentina on my heart. Omar had been forced to leave his country when his name was found on a Rebel hit list. He said he was finished with Argentina and would never return, but I was adamant that we should hold the crusade there. Finally Omar said:  "Okay, we'll try Cordova."

We started with 6,000 in attendance the first night. By the fourth night we had 10,000 and the Chief of Police finally came back to town and signed the permit. The Roman Catholic Church which had opposed the Crusade, lost control over their people. Nuns and priests attended openly rejoicing in the great things which God did and carrying their tape recorders to get the messages I brought.

I had requested a meeting with the Military Junta and demanded that they stop their persecution of the Evangelicals and Pentecostals to which they agreed.  From that day onward the persecution stopped and the Revival steam rolled ahead.

After preaching to the four Colonels for 20 minutes about God and the Devil, Heaven and Hell, the Cross and the Blood of Christ, the leading COLONEL said loudly, "What do  you want from us?" I said: "Stop persecuting the Evangelicals and the Pentecostals!" He said:  "O.K. What else do you want?"

I answered:  "Get down on your knees and give your  hearts to the Lord."  They were shocked. Omar let out a  big laugh, I smiled  and they relaxed. I said: "I would like  to pray for you and your families." Immediately, he said:  "Yes, please do." After prayer, thy all shook my hand and told me about the good things they had heard about the crusade.
That is how the official persecution stopped and how  the REVIVAL started in Argentina in May, 1978.  Praise the Lord.

JESUS COMMANDED: GO INTO ALL THE WORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE

This Gospel is for ALL people of ALL the world including the Muslim World! Jesus Christ commanded:  "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ...."  (Mark 16: 15-20)

King David prophesied: "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His ANOINTED, saying, Let us break the bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. (Psalms 2: 2, 3)

The Apostles prayed, quoting David:  "For a truth against Thy Holy Child Jesus, whom Thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done."  (Acts 4:25-28)

The whole world was involved in carrying out the will of God in the sacrificial death of Christ for us all. King Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and Israel is a representation of the Entire World that stands guilty in the SIN of crucifying the Son of God.

And the entire world is invited to receive God's forgiveness, peace, healing, blessing and deliverance which has been purchased for us all through the shed BLOOD of Jesus Christ our Lord and His glorious resurrection from the dead.

The Bible says: "Looking for that blessed HOPE and the glorious appearance of the Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ Who GAVE HIMSELF for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2:13, 14)

"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

"Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His GRACE, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3: 4-7) All glory to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Is God able to save and fill with His Holy Spirit, the tough, evil, perverted Muslim terrorists? Read Acts chapters 9, 22 and 28. If He can reach a Jewish terrorist He can reach a Muslim terrorist! Nothing is too hard for our God.


PREPARE 
TO MEET THY GOD
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

Prepare to meet thy God! This was the admonition that Prophet Amos thundered out in his day. God’s people had backslidden, corrupted themselves and forsaken the true and living way.

They had gone after the strange gods of the heathen, and were worshipping at the altars of pagan idols. They had forgotten how gracious the Lord is and turned their backs on Him.

GOD HAD A FEARLESS PROPHET THAT HE COULD USE: A MAN WHO HADN'T SOLD OUT!

But God had a man He could use!  Amos was a prophet who had not corrupted himself as others had done. God had a vessel He could use - a mouthpiece with which to warn and admonish His people of coming judgment for sin and forgiveness for those who would repent!

God’s message to the people then is the same as now: “Prepare to Meet Thy God”! One day every living soul will stand before God and give an account of his or her life.

THE BOOK OF LIFE WILL BE OPENED & THE DEAD WILL BE JUDGED

“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. 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 death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15)

The Bible says, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27) THE MESSAGE OF THE PROPHETS was always the same - they were two-fold - People must repent to receive mercy and forgiveness or reject God’s Way and be judged. It was a message of mercy and judgment!

It is the same today. God has not changed, but many of ‘today’s preachers’ have compromised and are not preaching ALL THE TRUTH because of FEAR. They lack the boldness, courage and faith to stand up and tell the Truth.

JOHN WESLEY  - founder of the Methodist Church - whose Ministry is accredited with turning England back to God and saving it from the same fate as that which befell France in the ungodly, brutal and bloody French Revolution, stated: "I must preach law before I preach grace."

What did he mean? Simply this, that in order for people to realize that they need God's FORGIVENESS, they must be convicted of their sins! And how does that take place? In several ways: God can arbitrarily speak to people by His Holy Spirit in answer to the fervent prayers of relatives or other concerned spiritual prayer warriors!

Usually, however, sinners are convicted through the anointed preaching of God's Word. Millions of believers are saved today because of the powerful preaching of anointed Spirit-filled men and women of God, who have refused to compromise their message!

In 1970, Edmonton Transit bus driver, Eric Dykstra and his entire family, were converted to Christ in our  Church because of the dozens of Bus Seat benches which carried our advertising with the clear-cut message: "Get Right With God!" 

In a letter to me, dated May 8, 2002, about five weeks before his death, Eric wrote: "It has been 32 years almost to the day that I accepted the Lord's saving message as preached by you that Wednesday evening at the Edmonton Revival Centre. That was May 6, 1970.

"After you laid your hands on me and my family, the roof of the old theatre didn't split open for angels to descend, but I received a depth of peace in my inner being I had never before experienced. Without realizing it, we stood at the jump-off point of an exciting brand new phase of our lives.

"Our kids all believe in their Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. (One is even an M. Div and has been a pastor for five years). Our grandchildren are taught the Word and the ways of the Lord Creator, at home and at their respective churches. Your faithfulness to God and perseverance in your Ministry has brought wonderful blessings to countless families around the globe!

"I have at times speculated what would have happened if in the late 60s all these messages, 'Get Right With God!' hadn't been scattered throughout the city by way of bus stop benches. Driving my routes and spotting those ads gave me repeatedly opportunity to meditate on their meaning!"

DR. OSWALD SMITH SPEAKS OUT!

In Dr. Oswald Smith's book,  'The Fire Of God' (1948), the man that Billy Graham called, "one of the world's greatest Missionary Statesmen" wrote:  "In my study of revival and evangelism I have discovered that those most mightily used of God always majored on five subjects. These five subjects inevitably produced conviction. First, sin and salvation, then heaven and hell, finally judgment. You see, a great many messages must necessarily be given on SIN for sin to be exposed if there is to be genuine conviction!"

Oswald Smith states: "When I was converted in the year 1906 in the great Torrey-Alexander campaigns which was held in Massey Hall, Toronto, I noticed, as I walked along the streets or through the stores, or rode in the street cars, thousands of little white cards, one inch wide and six inches long. On both sides these four words were printed in bright red type, "Get Right With God."

"It made no difference which way the card fell, the message was always there. As a result, thousands were convicted. So many tens of thousands of these little white cards had been distributed that it was impossible to get away from them. Everybody saw them. They were lying about on every side and those four little words preached a sermon that could never be forgotten."

I remember hearing Oral Roberts - while  in his prime - speaking on the sin of  compromising  the truth. In his anointed message, the man who won ten million souls to God and brought the healing  power of God to  our generation, thundered out these words: "I hate compromisers!"

PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD

It was the same during the time of MICAH THE PROPHET. Micah prophesied against the backsliding preachers, who had been bought off and corrupted by worldly minded and sinful people around them, which caused them to prophesy only what the people wanted to hear. He declared, “But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and of judgment and might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin”. (Micah 3:8)

God is very merciful and will forgive all who come to Him in humility, desiring forgiveness and salvation (John 6:37; 3:16), but He also is a God of judgment and justice!

The Bible says, “I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments”. (Exodus 20:5-6)   

Remember my friend, you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7-8), and be sure your sin will find you out (Jonah 1:7). And don’t forget “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31). SIN MUST BE PAID FOR IF IT ISN’T REPENTED OF, and “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. (Romans 6:23)

We are living in a day when preachers have given in to 'political correctness'  with their 'seeker sensitive' philosophy, so that there is no longer conviction of sin! It's easy to get swayed by great crowds who applaud a "God loves you",  with no strings attached preaching, but the Bible says: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new."

In my crusades around the world, I have noticed how everyone wants to say the sinner's prayer and be healed physically, but many in reality do not desire to make Jesus their Lord and forsake their idols and leave their pagan beliefs. If a preacher, therefore,  isn't clear on God's hatred for sin and idolatry, he leaves them in a very precarious position!

JESUS WARNED PREACHERS THAT WE MUST PREPARE TO MEET GOD 

Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." (Matthew 23:15) He said: "All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me: and him that cometh to Me I will in wise cast out." (John 6: 37).  He also stated: "... but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 3: 13)

St. Paul warned: "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." (Romans 13: 11-14)

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror (wrath)  of God, we persuade men..." (2 Corinthians 5:10-11)

The great Apostle admonished: "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick (living) and dead at His appearing and His kingdom. Preach the WORD; be instant in season , out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." (2 Timothy 4: 1-2)

You may be able to fool your husband, wife, friends or even the preacher, but you cannot fool God. He knows all about you, and if you reject Him as your Saviour, He will be your Judge on that day.

“When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the Holy Angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory, and before Him shall be gathered all nations and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats - and these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal”. (Matthew 25:31-46)

Listen to the words of invitation given by our blessed Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ: “Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”. (Matthew 11:28)   

DO NOT TURN A DEAF EAR TO THIS GREAT OFFER OF SALVATION AND BLESSING, BUT BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TODAY!

Receive Him into your heart by faith, repent and turn away from your sins, and you will receive the gift of Eternal Life. DON’T DELAY, BUT CALL OUT TO THE LORD FOR MERCY TODAY!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)   Amen!


A MESSAGE FROM INGVAR SOLBREKKEN
 (Max’s Father) Written in 1959.  

Jesus said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew  6:33)

‘Attending Church’ is not enough! One should make every effort to find a church where there are signs, wonders and miracles - where God’s power is recognized.

How else can you prove it is ‘the Church’? St. Paul stated that God “has placed miracles” in the Church. (1 Corinthians 12:28) He commanded that we turn away from those who have “a form of godliness and deny the power of God”. (1 Timothy 3:5-7)

Surely, Jesus Christ will return for the same glorious Church (Ephesians 5:27) which He had in New Testament times! Will you, my friend, be a part of His glorious Church or a cold, lukewarm or dead church? The Bible says, “Be ye holy, for I am holy, saith the Lord”. (1 Peter 1:16) Amen.


WHY WAS 
JESUS CHRIST BORN?
By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

Jesus of Nazareth, True God and True Man, was born to salvage a lost world of sinning men, to destroy the works of the devil and to build His Church.  He came to this sin curses world to introduce us all to His Heavenly Father, to redeem mankind through His sacrificial death on the Cross and His glorious resurrection from the dead.  He came to heal us and to fill us with His Blessed Holy Spirit!

Sin was in the world because Satan was in the world.  The devil, who is the father of sin and death, had been cast out of Heaven and is called the 'Prince of the power of the air', as well as the 'god of this world'.  (Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4)

The devil had caused previous disruption and chaos. (Genesis 1:2; Ezekiel 28:-13-19); Isaiah 14:12-17)

Because of Satan's rebellion and hatred for God, he had cunningly planned his strategy by tempting Eve, with the 'Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil' in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:1-6; Job 1:8-22; Job 2:1-8)

GOD CALLED - "ADAM WHERE ART THOU?"

The great transgression had been made by Adam and Eve.  Now, for the moment of truth..... How would Adam and Eve feel?  Would they now be.

Prophecy, Bible prophecy end time signs, Bible prophecy endtimes, scripturesGOD CALLED: “ADAM WHERE ART THOU?”

The great transgression had been made by Adam and Eve.  Now, for the moment of truth.  How would Adam and Eve feel?  Would they now be wise as God, as Satan had promised them?  Was the rebellion and disobedience towards God worth it?  No - A thousand times NO.

Adam and Eve's eyes were opened.  But, what did they see?  Adam and Eve saw their own vulnerability, stupidity, weaknesses, sin and nakedness.  Fear stalked them and filled their spirits.  They had not felt fear before sin entered their lives.  They realized they were naked, vulnerable and inadequate.  Now, they understood they must face the music, and meet God alone.

But where was Satan?  Where was the Evil One who had been their wise counsellor such a short time before?

The devil was gone to gloat over his victory.  I'm sure that the devil, the liar and deceiver was not far away, probably hiding behind a tree, excitedly waiting to see the outcome of their sin.  The inevitable outcome was the separation, dis-fellowshipping of God and His special creation, man.

THE DEVIL REJOICED OVER ADAM & EVE'S FEAR AND TERROR

Evil satisfaction must have filled the devil's mind as he observed Adam and Eve's plight, their complete confusion, perplexity, fear and terror.

Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.  God said, "Adam, where art thou?  ADAM, WHERE ART THOU?"

As God called Adam that day, He is still calling you and me. "John, where are you?  Mary, where are you?"

Adam answered, "We are hiding; we are naked; we are afraid"!  God questioned, "Who told you that you were naked?  You were clothed with My glory.  Have you eaten of the fruit that I forbad you"?

Adam gave a typical answer from a typical sinner!  He said, "The woman you gave me, she gave me of the fruit.  It is Eve's fault, she gave me the forbidden fruit and it's really Your fault, Lord, because You gave me the woman".

EVERYONE LIKES TO PASS THE BLAME TO SOMEONE ELSE

It seems normal for people to justify themselves.  It's much easier to pass the buck or to blame someone else rather than take the blame, saying, "I made a mistake, I am wrong, please forgive me."

It's similar to the Minister who enjoyed portraying women in a negative way.  One Sunday morning as he was preaching on 'The Fall of Man', he vigorously attacked Eve.  If Eve, the weaker vessel, hadn't fallen, the world wouldn't be in the mess it's now in.  The preacher nailed Jezebel and Delilah: "Women are the ruination of many good men", he shouted.

At the close of the service, the Minister stood at the door shaking hands.  Some complimented him on a wonderful sermon, while others were glad to get out the door.

A tall lady shook his hand and she wasn't smiling.  She squeezed his hand until he said, "Lady, you are hurting me".  She looked him square in the eye and asked, "Pastor, what is the telephone number of the Garden of Eden"?

He answered, "I don't know what you are talking about".  She squeezed his hand again until he said, "Ouch".  She spoke again, "Pastor, do you know the telephone number of the Garden of Eden"?  He answered, "Woman, I do not and by the way you are hurting me."  She said, "Well, I know the telephone number of the Garden of Eden.  It's Adam 8-1-2", and she let go of his hand and left.

Adam ate one too!  Eve wasn't the only one to blame.  Adam also disobeyed God, but really the blame goes into further - straight to the evil one, the Devil.

THE DEVIL IS TO BLAME

God didn't argue with Adam.  He turned to Eve and said, "Woman, what is this that thou hast done?"  Eve made more sense than her husband.  She put the blame where it belong: "The serpent beguiled me and I did eat."

I agree with Eve.  Satan is the culprit.  The devil is to blame for all the sin, fear, heartbreak, divorce, alcoholism, drug addiction and juvenile delinquency.  He is the architect of all that is evil, wicked and destructive.  Riots, anarchy, thievery, murder, sickness, disease and war are the outcroppings and results of his plans, goals, purposes and seduction.

SATAN IS TO BLAME.  Shout it loud and clear - the devil is the troublemaker.

JESUS CALLED THE DEVIL A LIAR & MURDERER

Jesus called him a liar, deceiver, murderer and thief. (John 8:44; John 10:10)  Our Lord said, "The thief cometh not for to steal, kill and destroy.  I am come that they might have life and more abundantly." (John 10:10)

YES - THE DEVIL IS TO BLAME FOR ALL SIN

God said, "THE SEED OF THE WOMAN SHALL BRUISE THE SERPENT'S HEAD."

Almighty God called out: "Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou among all the beasts of the field.  Upon thy belly shalt thou go all the days of thy life..." (Genesis 3:14-15)

It is noteworthy that some scientists believe that at one time serpents and snakes walked upright and didn't crawl on their bellies as today.

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed (the wicked) and her seed (the righteous).  It (Jesus, the seed of the woman) shall bruise thy head..."

JESUS DEFEATED THE DEVIL WITH HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS

On Golgotha's Hill, Jesus defeated the devil.  When Jesus paid the supreme sacrifice for the sins of the world, and rose again from the dead.  He had delivered the death blow to Satan.

When Jesus cried, "It is finished", He had defeated Satan and since that very hour the blood of Jesus Christ washes away all the sins of the repentant sinner, and His stripes bring healing to the believing, sick person.

The Bible says, "He (Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

WHY DID JESUS COME INTO THE WORLD?

The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."(John 3:16-17)  Hallelujah.

The Bible says: "Neither is there salvation through any other, for there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby you may be saved, but by the Name of Jesus"! (Acts 4:12) "There is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5)

JESUS CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE

Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)  And St. John stated: "For this purpose was the Son of God manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil". (1 John 3:8)  The Scripture says, "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick:  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."  (Matthew 8:16-17)

WHAT DID ISAIAH PROPHESY?

Hear it and hear it well: "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities.  The chastisement of our peace was upon Him (Jesus) and by His stripes we are healed."! (Isaiah 53:5)

The Bible says, "Who His own self (Jesus) bare our sins in His own body on the tree (cross) that we, being dead to sins should live unto righteousness, by Whose stripes ye were  healed"! (1 Peter 2:24)  "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY - JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH & THE LIFE

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." (John 14:6); "I am the door, by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved..." (John 10:9)  Again He said, "Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE?

The Bible says, "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sins." (Hebrews 9:22)  "It is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul." (Leviticus 17:11)  Again, "The soul that sinneth it shall surely die." (Ezekiel 18:20)

In Old Testament times, an animal - without spot or blemish - would be sacrificed, spilling his blood. (Atonement means "covering")  AS THE LAMB DIED ON THE ALTER IN THE TEMPLE, JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD, DIED ON THE CROSS TO PAY FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.

The Scripture says, "If we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with the other, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (John 1:7)

Jesus is the Lamb of God, Who was slain for our sins: "One of the elders saith unto me, weep not: behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne...stood a lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.

And He came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.  And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints."

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;....Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." (Revelation 5:5-13)

JESUS SPOILED SATAN'S KINGDOM

The Bible says, "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross, and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."(Colossians 2:12-15) Oh, Praise God.

We serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today.  I know that 
He is living, whatever men may say...
I see His hand of mercy....I hear His voice of cheer....And just 
the time I need Him....He's always near.

He lives....He lives...Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me, along life's narrow way.

He lives...He lives....Salvation to impart....
You ask me how I know He lives....He lives...within my heart
.

What power!  What might!  What strength, and what great ability Jesus has.  St. Paul brings it out so graphically in his epistles.  Drink in these truth and be set free and filled with all knowledge, joy and Holy Ghost power.

The WORD of God declares: "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when he raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.  And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church." (Ephesians 1:18-22)

"Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." (Ephesians 3:20)

St. Paul writes, "Who (God) hath delivered us from the power of darkness (Satan) and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son (Jesus Christ) IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13)

In referring to Jesus, John the Baptist made the startling statement, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away from the sins of the world." (John 1:29)  To this agree the angel's words to Joseph, "Ye shall call His name Jesus (Salvation) for He shall save (salvage) His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-11)

THIS DAY IS THE SCRIPTURE FULFILLED

The book of Isaiah is called the "Gospel of the Old Testament".  The 53rd chapter prophecies the death of Messiah Who would bring forgiveness and healing to His people.  Isaiah 7:14 speaks of His virgin birth; Isaiah 9:6 speaks of His Kingship and the fact that He is very God; Isaiah 28:11-12 foretells the gift of the Holy Spirit and the end-time phenomena of glossalalia, or "speaking with other tongues" as a gift of God to bring stability, rest and peaceful strength to the Church in times of pressure and tension.  Isaiah 61:1-3 prophecies the Gospel Age of His salvation with forgiveness, healing, deliverance and joy!

"And he came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.  And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Esaias.  And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because he hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

"And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister and sat down.  And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.  And He began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears." (Luke 4:16--21)

Jesus entered the synagogue in Nazareth and read from Isaiah the Prophet.  He ended the reading by saying, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears". He declared Himself the Son of God and Jewish Messiah by those words.

The year of Jubilee could not begin until first the Great Day of Atonement had taken place.  He would die on the cross like the lambs died on the alters of Jerusalem because He is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world." (John 1:29)

He would fulfill the Old Testament 'Great Day of Atonement' when the high priest entered into the Holy of holies with the blood of the sacrificial animal.  Jesus was not only the Sacrifice but also the High Priest Who carried His own blood into the Holy of holies in Heaven itself. (Hebrews 9:11-14)

The scapegoat (Leviticus 16:7-21) is also a type of Jesus carrying away our sins He is our substitute!  Every 50th year Israel celebrated the 'Year of Jubilee' when all the prisoners and slaves were freed and debts were forgiven.  This is a picture of the Gospel Age when everyone is set free by the blood of Christ and His everlasting Gospel! 

My dear friend, Let me admonish you to receive him into your heart and life as your Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Healer, Baptizer and King.

JESUS CAME TO SEEK & SAVE THE LOST

Jesus said, "I am come to seek and save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10) You are included in that number, for "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23)  You say, 'I cannot live a Christian life in my own strength'!

You are absolutely right.  You can't do it in your own power, but He will change you and give you the power to live for Him.

The Bible say: "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:11-12)

Jesus promised, "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...." (Acts 1:8)  Finally Jesus said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5)"...and lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:20) Receive Him today, as your Lord and Saviour! Amen.
