There is power in the name of Jesus. How to fight the Devil, how to have POWER over the satan devilTHE CROSSROADS OF LIFE
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

"Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old Paths wherein is the good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.  But they said, we will not walk therein." (Jeremiah 6:16)

The prophet Jeremiah had a solution for the restlessness and fears that has beset the human family ever since the fall of Adam and Eve in Garden of Eden!  He had the answer to the turmoil, upheaval and injustice that has afflicted multitudes across the globe.  Jeremiah has a message from Almighty God for the great problems facing the masses of sinful, guilty and hurting mankind!

There are Biblical Solutions to Life's Difficult Situations! There are answers to the life-long problems caused by disobedience to the law of loving God with the whole heart, soul and spirit, and our neighbour as ourselves!

WE HAVE A SIN PROBLEM!

The real problem facing humanity is man is propensity to disobey, hate, demean, and harm our fellowman.  The real problem is not the neighbour you dislike, the corruption in government, or the thief who has ransacked your home.  The truth is plain and simple: "We have a sin problem."

The Holy Bible states, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23);  "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 22, 23)

Sin is disobedience against God and His Word.  It is breaking God's Laws or Commandments.  From the original Greek and Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible has several words for sin, one being 'transgression' and another is 'iniquity.'  Sin is "Transgression of God's Law."

Sin is also defined as 'missing the mark' of the standard our Lord has set for us.  We are all sinners by birth, by nature and by choice!  Jesus Christ is perfect and He is the standard by which we must measure ourselves.  Sin comes from the inner man, which was depraved from birth.

Jesus said,  "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man.  For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.  These are the things which defile a man but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man." (Matthew 15:19)

Sin separates man from God. The Bible states: "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that He will not hear." (Isaiah 59:2)

Sin is unbelief, which rejects and denies God's Word: "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18)

JEREMIAH'S SOLUTION!

"Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old Paths wherein is the good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein."  (Jeremiah 6: 16)

Go down to the crossroads and see where each road leads.  Don't get on a road that takes you to nowhere or to dangerous places.  Don't try something new just because someone has hyped it to you.  They may have a sinister motive, like getting you hooked on drugs or lead you into a life of gambling.  Getting on the wrong road could destroy your future and eventually lead to a lost eternity.

The old Paths speaks of a true and tested lifestyle of love, caring, family, honesty, righteousness and compassion.  Yet, as the prophet declared, "But they said, we will not walk therein."

How true that is, even today!  People can hear the message of God's love and compassion repeatedly and even believe it, but allow themselves to be drawn into a worldly and a dangerous lifestyle!

SINNER : STOP, LOOK & LISTEN!

Sinner, backslider: Stop, look and listen.  There may be real trouble coming down the tracks heading toward you!  In your fevered pace of seeking pleasure, having so-called fun, stop in your pursuit of love, happiness, gain, position and place.  Stop long enough to evaluate what is going on in your life and the world about you.  Check out the consequences of the long term benefits or negative results!

Make an informed decision to return to the Old Path of Righteousness through a determined serious return to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  You will then have guaranteed your future for time and eternity instead of having sold out to Satan only to have your future hijacked and your salvation despoiled!

The end results gained from walking on the old Path are enormous.  It pays in "rest for our souls."  It pays in peace, joy, love, forgiveness, guidance, spiritual power, divine healing, eternal life and Heaven forever!

Peace: "Seven times a day do I praise Thee because of Thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them." (Psalms 119: 164, 165)

Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14: 27).  

St. Paul stated: "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 7)

Love:  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in 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)

St. John declares: "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love."  (1 John 4:7,8)

Forgiveness: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1: 8): "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."  (Eph. 1:7)

Holy Ghost Baptism: "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water, but One mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." (Luke 3:16); Jesus said: "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

Led by Holy Spirit: "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shown it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that ye shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you." (John 16: 13-15)

Divine Healing: "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel unto every creature, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned, And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."  (Mark 16: 14-18)

Fellowship in Christ:  "That which we have we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:3,7)

"And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the Living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians 6:16-18)

Eternal Life: "And this is eternal Life, that they may know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." (John 17: 3); "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me: And I give unto the eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My Father's hand." (John 10: 27, 28)

"And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son hath life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that they may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5: 11-13)

ALL OTHER ROADS!

All other roads lead to Hell and destruction; heartbreak, torment, sorrows, prison, dead-end! The Bible says: "There is a way that seemeth right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of death."  (Proverbs 14:25);

"By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season."  (Hebrews 11:24,256:23)

SIN OF BACKSLIDING!

St. Paul wrote about the awesome responsibility preachers have to declare the whole truth and not weaken the Gospel through compromise. He warned about the deadly sin of backsliding and how to come back to the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. Like the Prodigal Son, it takes repentance and a willingness to turn back to God, forsaking sin and evil!

'For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me: yea, woe is me, if I preach not the Gospel. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." (1 Corinthians 9: 16,27)

Almighty God calls us back to Him, if any are guilty of straying from His Word; "Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord? though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18).

JESUS calls us all: "Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matt.hew 11: 28-30)

:All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out."  (John 6: 37); "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and he will with Me." (Revelation 3:20)

I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

I stood in a courtroom filled to capacity with every race and nation all staring right at me. The judge walked in, took His seat and my crimes began to read. I raised my head as I looked at Him, when He said, "How do you plead?" I said, "I Plead the Blood!"

"I plead the Blood of Jesus, against the crimes you have read. I plead the blood of Jesus, they are covered as He said. For His death on Calvary, assured me I am FREE. There is now, no condemnation. Tis Jesus BLOOD I plead."

Then He read out all my crimes. Listed them one by one. And I was so ashamed of the awful things I had done. Then He looked again at me, This awesome fearful Judge. He said, How do you plead? I said, “I Plead the Blood!"

"I plead the Blood of Jesus, against the crimes you have read. I plead the blood of Jesus, they are covered as He said. For His death on Calvary, assured me I am FREE.  There is now, no condemnation. Tis Jesus BLOOD I plead." AMEN.


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 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!

MUSLIM 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!

AN 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!

PREPARE FOR BATTLE

Christ's Victory - Satan's defeat, Bible scriptures on satan the devil. We have power over the devil, how to fight the devilHow to fight the Devil
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.

Jesus said, "Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Yes, my dear friend, God is still in the business of setting men and women free from their sins, sorrows, heartbreaks, fears and troubles.  In this age of frustrations, nervous tensions and mental collapses, Jesus Christ is still granting peace to the troubled, joy to the discouraged, strength to the weary and healing to the sick!

The Bible says: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans  10:9-10)

"Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of man confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God." (Luke 12:8, 9)


Salvation,salvation articles,salvation Bible scriptues verses, what is salvationHOW DO I INVITE 
JESUS CHRIST INTO MY LIFE?

Pray to God, a prayer - from your heart.  

Tell Him that you are a sinner and that you need forgiveness.  Tell him that you believe Jesus Christ died for your sins.  Tell him that you are willing to change, to turn away from sin.  Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life and be your personal Saviour.

"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 1:12)

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

If you prayed and ask Jesus Christ into your heart - YOU HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE GIFT OF SALVATION - YOU HAVE BECOME A CHILD OF GOD.  God Bless You.
