YOUTH POPULATION IN CRISIS

GOD, IS JUST A CALL AWAY

By Laura Pelliton (Zeida)

 A MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S YOUNG PEOPLE:

“Rejoice, O Young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thin heart, in the sight of thin eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment” (ECCLESIASTES 11 v 9.) Young men and women, don’t you know your bodies belong to God your creator? Whether you believe in him or not, God is the creator of all things and all that has breathed; the bible says that God breathing into the statue he created with dust, and the statue became a living creature, and he called him “Man”. The “breathe” is the spirit of God that he put in man. Maybe you’ve never met someone who’s willing to help you understand the mystery of the sound of your voice and spoken words that enable you to communicate, your heart beats, the flexibility of the bones that structuring the body, and enable you to move the muscles. I’m telling you today, all of these are possible, because you’re a representation of God, and his similarity, or appearance. My point is, your body is a vessel carrying the spirit of God; If you take good care of your body while you’re living, when you die “the dust returns to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it” (ECCLESIASTES 12 v 7.) So, when you’re smoking cigarettes, using drugs and alcohol, and having sex with multiple partners, your body is impure, or sinful; causing, the spirit that God put in you to corrupt. Therefore, the corrupted spirit cannot return to God; but it has to go somewhere because that part of you will never die; it’s eternal like its owner. God has a place for all rejected spirit; it calls “Hell”.

INTRODUCTION -Substance abused, smoking, and prostitution among young people, and their association with diseases, have long been a social concerned. Of that extent involve higher crime rates, and health issues. However, the most frighten situations that I will examine in this article is the impact of drugs and alcohol, and how those actions affect relationship with God. Those youngsters are so deeply involved in bad behaviors; one might wonder, do crisis respondents out of strategic approach. It seems like jail sentencing is inefficient in deterrence; reports on rehabilitation and treatments programs have indicated large percentage of relapse cases. But there is hope; when man fail, Jesus, the excellent respondent, takes over. Jesus is your only way out. Young people all over the world, if by any chances you’re not yet corrupt stay away from friends who are involving in drugs, alcohol and prostitution, because there is ninety percent chance that you might be influenced. Soon you try these things once, there’s no turning back.  Many drugs abusers have tried to change their bad behaviors but fail, because Satan, the controller of everything bad on earth, wants to keep them under his power. Young people are the most targeted group by Satan because they are vulnerable mentally, and weak spiritually. To those who are already using drugs and alcohol, turn your life in the hand of the great healer, Jesus is.

IMPACT OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, AND TOBACCO- the use of drugs has extended almost all ages levels, because now anybody can buy drugs and not be prosecuted due to the recent steps taken by most governments around the world to legalize drugs. Many reports have indicated that young people are more likely to abuse marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. Although some researchers have agreed that marijuana is not an addictive substance, they have concluded that users may experience multiple health issues, such as increase in appetite, overweight problem due to excessive food consumption; depression, HIV AIDS. Drugs abusers are more likely to commit crimes like rape, robbery, murder, and suicide; and more likely to develop brain diseases, mental illness, lung cancer, low sperm production among male; and interfering in ovulation process and miscarriages among female. Alcohol makes you lose self-control, which usually leads to domestic violence, rape, murder, and death by DUI. Tobacco causes loosing teeth, birth defect and premature babies (CJ – Concepts and issues. 3^rd ed. P32 to 34).

WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ABUSE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL?  According to some studies, young people use drugs and alcohol, because they feel unpromising, confuse, or the disrupted environment that they are living makes them feel that life will always be scorned. I’m telling you today, your life is precious and valued for God; he says in JOHN that he will not reject anyone who comes to him. He also says: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (MATTHEW 11 v 28). Don’t wait, tomorrow may be too late; accept Jesus, all your struggles will be wiped out. All you need to do is accept that you’re living a sinful life, and a determination to change. Then down in your knees and call upon Jesus.

HOW DRUGS ABUSE, ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, and PROSTITUTION affect relationship with God? –the persons we appear to be, must match who we really are in the inside. Meaning, if you are living a sinful life, your spirit, or soul is also corrupted. We all know there is no place in God’s kingdom for corrupted spirits. Therefore, if you cannot inter the kingdom of God, you will be place in the lake of fire with Satan, where pain and torments are permanent.  If you don’t change this life style, and give-up your life completely to God, the consequence will be death without mercy.  I’m aware that there are multiple prevention and treatments programs in US; they are doing great jobs. In fact, many people have reported being free from their addiction, and are no longer using drugs. But they are not free from that evil spirit that caused them to do wrong in the first place.  That’s why most of them have relapsed. Those people who are giving treatments at the substance abuse centers are concerned citizens trying to protect the society from crimes; they are doing their best as much as they could, but they’re not perfect. Is that said, no one should expect perfect results from their effort; because only God can change human being to perfection.

As I said earlier, if your friends are involving in drugs, alcohol, smoking and prostitution; if you feel like this is not the type of influence you would want around you; than keep your distance. Find a good church, get involve in youth activities, and make new friends (Christian’s friends). Believe me, soon after you make this decision, joy and happiness would file in; you will never feel unpromising, confuse, disrupted, and scorned again. Remember, God loves everyone. It is not his will for any of his creation goes to hell, but he also allowing us to make our own choice. I urge you, accept Jesus today; the end of time is near. Make wise decision.

CHRISTIAN vs. THE LAW OF THE LAND – April 16, 2017 – by Laura Pelliton/Zeida

Every day we see in the Districts courts of America and the television programs a growing crisis that’s beginning to affect most social areas. We see parents are suing children, neighbors are suing neighbors, children are suing parents, brothers and sisters are suing each other. But the area that concerns me the most is the Christian community; I see pastors are suing each other, and church members are doing likewise. Is this a prophetic sign? In fact, this crisis is one of the many events that must occur before the return of the Messiah. Jesus says: “Shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” MATTHEW 24 v 10. However, it is a shame to see that even some Christians have being affected by this prophecy! Are they forget that the word of God says that we shall love one another, and love our enemies! Prophetic messages are warnings; their purpose is to tell the incredulous to be prepared spiritually for bad times ahead. Even thou Matthew 24 v 10 prophecy is a message for the entire earth population, but the most targeted people are the churches goers, the wicked, and the Atheists. Those who are always relying on the bible for guidance already know that they must obey God’s commandment that says: “be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another” (ROMANS 12 v 10). This article will focuses on two categories of Christians: The true ones, and those who are only like to go to church on Saturdays and Sundays.

The issue is, does lawsuit among Christians biblical?

In order to provide answer to whether or not a Christian could initiate a legal proceeding against anyone we need to examine 1-the characteristic of true Christians, and church goers; 2-The view of the bible concerning the conducts and responsibilities of people who chose to serve God and, 3-what could be the impact of lawsuits between Christians among non-Christians?

The characteristic of true Christians, and Churches goers–Christians are the distinguish people, who have been elected to do God’s will by helping others to make wise judgments, such as differentiate right (how to love one another in Jesus) from wrong (hating each other in Satan). These elects, whom I call the “chosen”, before learning about Christ, they were like everyone else, doing things their own ways until an Evangelist approached. Soon after they’ve heard that Jesus is the Messiah who was announced by the prophets; without any resistance, they’ve decided to change their lives by confessing their sins, repenting from them, and determining to read the word daily. Subsequently, they acknowledged that Jesus died on the cross for all sinners; and because of that sacrifice anyone who accepts him as the son of God will be saved, and that is the only way through salvation. They’ve became true believers, and promised to be faithful until the end. These people are the true Christians, or the “Chosen” I say chosen because in order to take these steps toward Jesus and be able to understand the will of God you had to be chosen in advance (predestined). That’s why Jesus says “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables. So,” that they may see, and not perceive. They may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them (MACK 4 v 11, 12 –ISAIAH 6 v 9, 10). These category of people (the true Christians) would not seek justice in a lawsuit against  their brothers and sisters, because Jesus is their judge.

    Churches goers, in the other hand are those people who are going to church because they need a place to go into on Saturdays and Sundays, or because their friends are belong to a Church, but they’re never intended to become true Christians. They can also be called ‘The Incredulous”, (Skeptical). That’s why they’ve never repented from their sins, and truly accepted Jesus. They can also be fitted into the category of trouble makers, power seekers, and opponents of churches’ disciplinary establishment. Although they call themselves Christians,their actions have proven contrary; they like suing people because their hearts are full with anger and hate. Churches goers are this group of people who are totally relying on the law enforcement system to solve their conflicts, because they believe that suing each other in the courts system is the only way they can solve their matters, and they have no knowledge of the word of God. Sadly, churches goers are this group of people that Jesus was talking about in LUKE 8 v 5 & 12, saying:  “A gardener went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it”. Jesus explains the parable in verse 12, saying: “ Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved,” Because of their expressive disbelief, the church goers will be more likely affected by the last day’s prophetic events. The point is, if you are one of those people in church who are suing each other in court; don’t call yourself Christian because the love of God is not in you. However, it’s not too late; if you make decision to serve God seriously today, then all you have to do is “call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall you be saved from your enemies” (PS. 18 v 3) .

THE VIEW OF THE BIBLE CONCERNING THE CONDUCTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF GOD SERVANTS – It states in EPHESIANS 4 v 17, 18, 25, 26, 27, and 29: “Walk not as other gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart. Wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor; for we are members one of another. Be ye angry. And sin not; let not the sun goes down upon your wrath. Neither gives place to the devil. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that if may minister grace unto the hearers.” Christians’ responsibility is to preach the gospel with everything they have; especially with their conducts by applying these recommendations in their interaction with others. Jesus says to people who believe in him: “You are the light of the world” (MATT HEW 5 14); he says this, because we’re connecting to the source that produces light, Jesus-Christ is. Due to this fact, Christians’ fruits are noticeable by mostly everyone. For example, true Christians love peace, always trying to avoid dispute and walk away before it starts, and pray before making decisions. They are patient, gentle, and role models in their community and anywhere else. True Christians don’t even have to tell their neighbors who they are; their conducts and lifestyle speak for them, and many people have accepted Jesus in their lives because of their neighbors who happened to be good Christians.

WHAT COULD BE THE IMPACT OF LAWSUITS BY CHRISTIANS AMONG NON CHRISTIANS Let’s considering this fact:  a pastor who was preaching “love” and “forgiveness” on Saturday or Sunday, and Monday morning he’s in a small claim court, or in a TV program suing another Pasteur, or a church member suing another church member! This action might causes critics among millions of people who were watching the program that day; and even preventing them from accepting the Christian faith. I should say: These so called Christians are embarrassments for the Christian’s community, and they should be ashamed.

ANSWER –The bible is against lawsuit among Christians, but not against the law of the land, and authorities. In fact, God himself has established the first judge in Israel; his name was EHUD. However, it is essential to the Christians’ faith that they get together with the Churches’ elders to settle their disputes instead of allowing other people who probably have no knowledge of the word of God, interfering in their disputes (as long no crime has been committed). The Corinthians Christians used to suing each other for any small issues, but Apostle Paul reprimanded them like this: “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren, but brother goes to law with brother and that before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren” (1 CORINTHIANS 6 vs. 1-8.

Remember, as Christians, our job is to do God’s will, which is helping others to making smart judgments, such as accepting Jesus as the Messiah. Therefore, outreach these people who are still living in darkness; don’t discourage them. For you, Churches goers, the return of Jesus-Christ is near. It’s time to think seriously about your life after death; hell is real; it’s your choice if you want to go there but don’t let your behavior pushing people away from heaven. My point is, when the wicked and the undecided are watching you in national television or in the districts courts suing each other, they will not believe anything that the true messengers of God are preaching. God will not forgive those who caused scandals in his churches. Take this advice from God: “Depart from evil and do well; seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34 v 14).

THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD; TEACH IT AS IT IS – NO SUBSTITUTE

ARTICLE#2

The truth concerning the returning of Jesus and the end of the world

QUESTION – Does it possible that the date and time of the return of Jesus Christ, the rapture of the church, and the end of the world have been revealed to certain people?

For the past several years some people have been using the social media to spread information about specific dates, times and years that the rapture will occur, Jesus  will return, and the world will end. For instance, the year of 1999 was one of the most fearful years in world history; people were anxious because according to some postings, the rapture of the church was going to happening in December 31^st between 12 AM and 1:00 AM January 2000. Obviously, nothing happened. Currently, more rumors have been circulating online, saying that in 2017, the Christ is coming, and the world will experiencing all kinds of catastrophic events. These information are causing so much anxiety on people that many of them is constantly watching the sky for any signs that would indicating the return of our Lord. Jesus has warned the world about these rumors because he knew that in the last days there will be a lot of them spawning by false prophets. That was why he said “many false prophets are gone out into the world”- “Let no man deceives you” (1 JOHN 4 v 1-3), (Matthew 24 v 4).

ANSWER – No one knows when the rapture of the church will occur, when Jesus-Christ will returning, and when the world will ending. Jesus is clearly says: “Of that day and that hour, no man knows, not the angels, which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only “(Mark 13 v 32).

HOWEVER, the signs that should precede these events; have been revealed to the world by Jesus him-self in the book of MATTHEW. The Bible says that when you see these signs happening around the world beware, the end of the world is near.

THE PRECURSOR SIGNS: – Jesus said: “You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. 2- Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 3- There shall be famine and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers’ places. 4-They shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you; and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 5- And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 6- And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many, 7- And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold 8 –But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 9-And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the entire world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24 v 6-14). As for the return of Jesus-Christ, there are no needs to keep watching the sky, the Bible says: “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the son of man is” (MATTHEW 24 v 27).

Be prepared – How? First, you must accept Jesus as your savior for he is the only way through salvation.The fact is, because of man’s iniquities and transgressions, direct communication with the father was completely cut-off. Even though animal sacrifices were permitted to clean sins, that act was a temporary solution. But God loves the world so much that he wanted to be in permanent communication with man. So he sent Jesus, his only son to be killed  and to be resurrected so we can be too. By his blood that would be shed, the sins of anyone who accepts Jesus as the son of God and savior would be permanently forgiven (JOHN 3 v 16). Jesus is the truth and the life. Second, change from wrong doers to righteousness (conversion), and regret your past (repentance). Third, apply God’s laws and practice them in your life; love one another. The Bible is also indicates the characteristic of people who will inherit the kingdom of God:”Those that walked uprightly, and worked righteously, and spoke the truth in their heart. V3- Those that backbite not with their tongue, do no evil to their neighbor, and not take up a reproach against their neighbor. 4- In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honored those that fear the Lord. Those that swore to his own hurt, and change not. 5-And those that put not out their money to usury, and took reward against innocent. Those that do these things shall never be moved” (PSALM 15

I invite you to join the Christian life, where ever you may be, let worship the king in spirit. We don’t know the time and the hour, but most Christians are aware that the entire precursor signs before the return of Jesus and the end of this age have been accomplished; the rapture of the church can happening anytime, get ready.

  CHURCH LEADERS THAT ARE WORSHIP IDOLS, GOD HAS LEFT YOUR CHURCHES, BUT HE LOVES YOU, HE WANTS TO COME BACK. CLEAN UP THE CHURCHES BY REMOVING THOSE STATUES. CHURCH MEMBERS, READ THE BIBLE TO KNOW HOW TO WORSHIP GOD.

Since false gods, on different forms of images and statues, have been found their ways into the Catholic Churches many thousand years ago, the real God, which is The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has left those churches. It is still possible to re-inviting God; but the leaders have refused to take action toward reform, despite their knowledge of the scripture. The members of the Catholic Churches are still keeping in darkness of the true worship that God requires from those that are saying they love Him.

   WHAT IS THE TRUE WORSHIP THAT GOD WANTS? – God wants us to present our prayers requests to Him in the name of Jesus-Christ only. Do not use statutes made by man to advocate for you before the living God. If you did use that practice, and  got an answer to your prayer, it did not come from God, but from Satan in order to keep you serving him without your knowledge.

WHAT IS THE ROOT Of THE IDEOLOGY OF WORSHIP IDOLS AND GOD AT THE SAME TIME?  In order to answer this question I need to look back in the ancient time. Over four centuries ago, when the Israelite were forced to slavery in Egypt. The only gods they knew were those of their master. They heard about the God of their father, but didn’t know that he was different from the Egyptian’s gods.  Soon after the Israelite arrived from Egypt to the desert of Sinai, God had revealed himself, and let them know that He is the real God of their father Jacob, and the creator of everything and human being on earth. He said to them that if they obey His commandments, He will be their God forever,” and you shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people… (EXODUS 19 v 4). The Israelite promised to do everything God says (Exodus 19 V 8).

DID THE ISRAELITS KEEP THEIR PROMISES? – This article will focus on the violation of the first and second commandments by the Judaism religion (now Catholic Churches), which say: “Thou shall have no other gods before me. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth (Exodus 20 v 3, 4).

Despite that they  had come to recognizing the God of their father Jacob as the real one, the children of Israel continued to worship man-made gods.  Soon became in possession of the Promised Land the children of Israel broke their promises; they started to worship small statues made with clay, wood and ceramic, which representing multiple gods. Those false gods were seeing everywhere in Israel. Eventually, the Judaism religion, or Catholic has become a trade mark for worship Idols, which are the representation of underworld  demons. But most people who go to that church don’t know that they are not worship God properly.

    At the beginning, the Israelite  purposely introduced “graven images” representing underworld demon in God’s sanctuary and on mountain hotels to incite God’s jealousies. Then it has become a ritual practice. But God didn’t want to give-up on them because of the promises He made to Abraham and Jacob their fathers. He had sent many prophets to warning them that they must repent, or will be chased by enemies and the Promised Land will be taken away from them. But they didn’t listen.  God transported Ezekiel in spirit to show him the abominations on the temple by church leaders. Ezekiel saw that inside of the church there was a hole in the wall indicating a secret entrance reserved to church officials only. Inside of that secret place there was all kind of “creeping things, and abominable beasts and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall” EZEKIEL 8 v 10. He saw the glory of God left the temple. But when Jesus and the disciples were preaching the gospel, the Catholic churches were making progress. After the death of the disciples they had departed from God’s commandments.

Even today, in this 21^st century, catholic churches are still kneeling down before statues, and images of saints, which, according to their belief, are pleading for sinners. The Catholicism system has proved to be erroneous of the true Christian teachings. Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man come to my father but me” JOHN 14 v 6. The ideology of introducing idols in Christians’ life makes Satan happy. In fact he has already spawned that culture globally; in stores and private homes. For example, when you buy ceramic graven images of saints, you put it at your front door as welcome signs; you’re invited bad spirit to your home without knowing it. What do you know about these hand-made wood animals and figurines angels you bought for homes and gardens décor? Let me tell you, the moment you install these small statues, your home has become attractive to demon. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about, because I used to have them all over my house until one night I had a dream, I saw that I live in a beautiful house; framed mirror, nice sculpture in human forms, and animals characters were hanging in the wall; and I had nice ceramic images everywhere. I went to another room to look for something, when I came back I saw the pictures dancing and talking to me in a language that I couldn’t understand; they had become living demons.  I stood there petrified. Suddenly, a woman came into the room; she started by destroying the pictures; she stood there to making sure I completed the cleaning before she left. I couldn’t sleep through the rest of the night. I got up early, between five and six A.M and destroyed all ceramic decor I had in my home, including the landscape ones.

My beloved brothers and sisters; the day of judgments is near. If you’re belonging to a church where God’s laws are not fully applied and exposed, get out, and find another one. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOUR CHURCH IS NOT GOOD? Start reading your bible from EXODUS 20 to the book of Deuteronomy, then from the book of Matthew to Apocalypse; everything you need to know about how to serve God is available. Spare God’s judgments upon your-self; don’t rely on church leaders for your salvation, read the Bible. If I did it, anyone can do it – May God blesses all.
