“The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.” John 5:15
Our Lord Jesus Christ healed a man who was unable to walk for thirty-eight years, and that man told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had healed him. That made the Jewish leaders more determined to put an end to the influence of Jesus. Today, a few people continue to find healing of the spirit and soul through Jesus Christ to enable us to walk in the Spirit. By His death and resurrection, Jesus puts our sin in remission and gives us the Holy Spirit and eternal life. The masses within the global culture are determined to eliminate the Gospel of Jesus Christ from this world.
As followers of Jesus Christ living in the Holy Spirit, our purpose in this life is to tell others it is Jesus who makes us well by making atonement for sin. The purpose of the Holy Spirit in us is to lift up the name of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is given to us by Jesus as we come to Him for the forgiveness of sin and to be reconciled to God.
Today, the message of the Cross has been put in chains. The Gospel of Christ is not being shared in the churches and it has been banned from being spread in public places. Government lawmakers no longer implement the values of the Bible in their policies, the educational system has thrown out the teachings of the Bible from the classrooms, and every sector of society reject Christianity. Christianity has been overcome. Even then, there will always be a faithful few who hold to Jesus until the day He comes back. In whatever way they come to know Jesus Christ, it will happen, even though the majority of Christians have been overcome.
…he was granted to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8
(The “him” in the verse above refers to the beast behind the image and mark of the beast. He makes war with the saints by his authority within the thing giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. The global culture welcomes the intrusion into their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are conformed to the anti-Christian global society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.)
We can assess that when the question is asked or the opportunity arises, we let others know that Jesus Christ is the healer of our spirit and soul. The diagnosis is that we live among a global culture which despises the Gospel of Christ and seeks to eliminate the influence of Jesus. We plan to make the most of every opportunity to let people know about God as the Creator, to talk about the remission of sin through Jesus Christ and eternal life, and to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us whose purpose is to lift up the name of Jesus. We implement that plan by allowing the word of God to live in us through the verse, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 We know the plan is successful when we have a burning desire in the Spirit to share the Good News of Jesus Christ within an anti-Christian global culture.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
