Watch this shocking news in the above video clip. Its about a student who is told that he can’t talk about Jesus in his school. This is a perfect example of being condemned because of Christ. Nathan did the right thing and he should continue to carry his bible. One should only fear God and I am proud that he held strong to it.
Yes Nathan, way to go for choosing to share the truth. I am not surprised at the reaction though. we are promised that in the last days there will be much persecution and we will be like a log in everyone’s eyes… and we are seeing it everywhere picking up. But continue to love them with the words of the Living Word and be wise as a serpent and pure as dove brother!!! Bless You!
This clip is from a documentary about the amazing story of Abby and Brittany, conjoined twins who are turning 16. This one is such an inspirational story! Watch the clip given just above.
I absolutely adore these two young ladies! While many would say that they are the product of an accident, a defect perhaps, their lives reflect the glory of God…that though they are not the same as everyone else, they nonetheless reflect Him.
Some people have harder spiritual tests than others. Some may look at your life and wonder how you get through it, and how god could throw you into such a life. God will never give you anything you can’t handle. Remember that. Just because it looks to us like a tough, horrible life, it may not be so hard for that person.
God puts everyone on this earth for a reason. Nothing that God does is an accident.
There are many things that seem to suggest that an All-Loving and All-powerful God must not be possible. Physical and mental disabilities, children’s death from disease, even a tsunami that wipes out entire villages.
One perspective necessary to understand this is that our lifetime on earth has a spiritual purpose that is available to everyone who is born, regardless of their circumstances. Being handsome or pretty or talented and finding success at school or at work seem to be the purpose of life, but these are circumstances often well beyond individual choice.
The real purpose in life is to acquire the spiritual virtues that will serve us well in the life to come. Just as a baby inside the womb develops lungs and eyes that it does not need while it is in the womb, once the baby is born then we can see why these organs are necessary.
Many disabled people acquire remarkable virtues of patience, generosity and persistence that “gifted” children must work harder to achieve. What might look like a “disability” might in fact be “gift”. Certainly learning compassion is important for all of us, and sometimes disabled children help others to learn this.
Everyone faces the same essential choices to make the most with what you have. I have known many physically and mentally disabled children and adults and I can assure you that not one of them ever felt sorry for themselves. On the other hand, I know many talented and successful people who still feel sorry for themselves.
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, “We can’t keep Christians from going to church. We can’t keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can’t even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their savior.”
“Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.”
“So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don’t have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.
This is what I want you to do”, said the devil:-
“Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!”
“How shall we do this?” his demons shouted.
“Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,” he answered.
“Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.
Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles.
Keep them from spending time with their children. As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!
Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive. To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.
Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mail boxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products , services and false hopes.
Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what’s important, and they’ll become dissatisfied with their wives. Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night. Give them headaches too! If they don’t give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere. That will fragment their families quickly!
Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas.
Give them an Easter bunny so they won’t talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death.
Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted. Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God’s creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead. Keep them busy, busy, busy!
And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences.
Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause.
It will work! It will work!”
It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get more busy and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?
[Thanksgiving and Prayer] We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. — 2 Thessalonians 1:3
