New Apostles Voice

Leave the Flesh Behind! Perhaps, indeed very much so, we must leave behind, in our Christian walk, the passions, lusts, violence and depravity of our own wilful flesh. We must learn to
become sanctified servants of the Lord! Romans chapter 8 verse 11 informs us that the born again Christian must be a spiritual person. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, dwells in you who are His children. As we have been raised and given new life, by the Holy Spirit recreating our spirit in the likeness of God, we are enabled to live, as spiritual persons, on earth and throughout eternity. Our life has been recreated to live, in Christ, as spiritual beings.

The Head of the Church.The head or the spiritual director and authority of the body of born again believers -the church – is the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. He, alone, does and must direct all of the teaching and activities of His believers, no matter what their earthly denomination, is. If He is not allowed to do so then there is great strife, deceit and foolishness in the body. We read about the true leader or the real head of God's church from Colossians chapter 1 verses 17 and 18. Jesus is and must be allowed to be the supreme leader of every Christian church and of every born again believer. One day, every person, who has ever lived, will have to bow down and acknowledge Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as the Lord of all creation.

The Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Jesus and His compassionate heart is further recorded in Matthew chapter 15 verse 32. The multitude had come to Jesus for healing. What marvellous miracles were occurring from the hands of Jesus. The dumb spoke; the maimed were made whole; the lame walked and the blind could now see. Jesus had compassion on their daily needs; in this case, their hunger. These people had been listening to Jesus but had not eaten for three days. He did not send them away hungry lest they became faint on the way home. His compassion became very practical and He fed them from God's miracle provision of seven loaves and a few little fish. How much true food for salvation and for healing needs to be fed to a hungry church congregation, today. Jesus can miraculously feed his flock, through revelation knowledge, from His mighty storehouse, the word of God.

We Must Be Like Jesus! Our Lord Jesus Christ is a compassionate God and full of gracious mercy. He has compassion or pity on those who have given their life to Him and even now on those who haven't. If it were not so Satan, as the god of this world, would have already destroyed all of mankind. Jesus and His word, the Holy Bible, together with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, stands in the way of Satan's deceitful plans. God's mercy is everlasting upon all those who hear His voice and are willing to ask for forgiveness of their sins and be washed clean in his precious blood. These people obtain His compassion and mercy, not only for this earthly life, but for eternal life in the next. All may obtain His compassion and mercy, now, but only those who accept His gracious gift of forgiveness and eternal life, will do so, forever.

Many Reasons Are Given. There are many suppositions of why people go to hell. Included are reasons such as – they are not chosen by God. Unfortunately, they have committed just too many sins. These people also forgot to repent of their sins. Many times they forgot to read or even ignored the instructions to read God's word, the Holy Bible. Perhaps they have committed the unforgivable sin. They were never regular church attenders. Some of them have even gambled the family's money away. Their children went hungry because they drank too much strong drink or got high on drugs just once too often. Faulty thinking makes the list grow even longer. Most of those things quoted above are not good but they are not the main and only reason, why!
