Many Ways to God or Many Errors in the Name of Religion?
Many people in the west believe “there is something out there” while others affirm with conviction that they know there is no God.
Eastern religions teach that “everything” is God and through meditation we can come to realise our inherent divinity. Those in the Judaeo-Christian traditions believe that the creation is not part of God at all.
Revival in China
Dennis Balcombe
Dennis Balcombe is senior pastor of Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong and regularly ministers in China.
A real Christian would naturally be very interested in revival and awakening. In recent years, certain streams have begun in the Body of Christ which have had considerable influence in a short time. One thing is clear, intelligence alone is no defense against deception – no matter who is right. My personal view is that we should major on majors, and minor on minors.
On Friday, the Lord delivered me from a demonic spirit (I believe it was a spirit of infirmity) during a prayer meeting. The day before the prayer meeting, I told him I was tired of being oppressed by the devil and that I wanted to be well. Then on Friday after dinner, before the prayer meeting, He gave me a dream/vision of one of the ladies at our prayer meeting praying deliverance for me. So I called her and asked her if they could pray for me after praise and worship. It had started manifesting when she was prophesying, but then kind of got “stuck” I cant think of a better word than that.
“… for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
Paul and his close co-workers made it their business not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. This does not mean that Paul spent a lot of time researching all the dark secrets of Satan’s kingdom. No. Paul said to the Romans, “I want you to be wise in what is good, but simple (innocent) concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Romans 16:19). Honestly, we don’t need to be “au fait” with all the latest conspiracy theories and what Satan may or may not be doing (Isaiah 8:12,13).
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Real Christians are involved in a spiritual conflict. This is a fight in which guns and tanks are of no use. Paul said, “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood”. The conflict is not with people, or nations, but with Satan and his demons. We need to recognise that many times when people oppose us, the reason behind it is spiritual.
“We know that we are in God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”
(1 John 5:20)
“…
What is a blessing?
A blessing is a positive declaration over someone or something. When God blesses a person, He declares good concerning them which will surely come to pass. God is a great King, and as the Scripture says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power, and who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ “. Our ultimate concern should be to please and glorify God. He certainly deserves it. However, in truly doing this, we will attract God’s blessings and we will attract God’s favor. A good example in the Bible of someone who attracted God’s favor was David.
Things will be right when God takes his rightful place in our lives and in our societies. Most people have no idea how good it is to actually enjoy God’s favor and presence on a daily basis. Its amazing. It is possible, and it beats anything else you could ever experience. But God gave us freedom of choice. Unfortunately, mankind has used this freedom to give tremendous authority to invisible evil spirits including Satan, their chief. These spirits have deceived people everywhere, including many Christians, on just about every point that is truly important.
I was born in a large Christian family. Ever since I know my father he has always been a Minister of the gospel. He is also the founder of a church in the community where we lived.
Being the youngest of twelve children, it was only natural that I attended church on a regular basis.
I accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour at an early age. Actually this was during my early years at High School.
At that time my only desire was to seek the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and to receive the gift of speaking in tongues.
