When there's an earthquake, like we experienced here in New Zealand recently, many buildings collapse while only few buildings stand firm. They go through identical violent tremors but the response is quite different.
We the righteous talk about standing firm amidst everything collapsing around us, because we have built our faith wholeheartedly on the gospel of the water and the Spirit, that when these inevitable tremors of life come our way, our faith does not collapse -- but stands firm at that time by faith.
“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and he has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything He has promised us” (2 Corinthians 1:20-22).
God has indeed commissioned us to do the righteous work until Jesus returns. So let us strengthen our feeble knees, clothe ourselves with righteous garments, and carry on with this holy work of spreading this true gospel to everyone. Let us not get entangled in the things of this world, for they can easily get attached to us and weight us down. But let us go forward by continually praying and encouraging each other, as we see the coming of our Lord.
God Bless you Brother.

Grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to God Always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, our election by God. For God’s gospel did not come to us in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as we know what kind of men we were before we received the gift of eternal life through our belief in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
After we received the word we became followers of our Lord, and now we walk this earth as His true disciples with peace and joy in our hearts as we go forward, preaching the gospel of the water and the Spirit to all who will receive it.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, our faith towards God and the gospel of the water and the Spirit has gone out before us as an example to all, therefore we need not say anything except thank you Lord.
Grace, peace, and love to you all as we await His return.

We are a chosen People.
For we are a holy people to the Lord our God, the Lord our God has chosen us to be a people for himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love upon us nor did he choose us because we were more in number than any other people, no, God choose us because we were the least of all peoples.
God choose us because of His love and because of the oath which He swore to our fathers. It was the Lord who has brought us out and redeemed us with His mighty hand from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt. Therefore know that the Lord our God Is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy and bestows His grace for a thousand generations with those who love Him.
Because we have kept His commandment to become truly born again of the water and the Spirit, God has bestowed upon us the grace He swore to our forefathers. For this He will love us, and bless us, and multiply us. He will also bless the seeds we sow, He will bless fruit of our labor, and He will increase our offspring. This He swore to our forefathers, this is our inheritance. This is why we have been blessed above all other peoples.
Remember, No obstacle is to great for us to conquer, we shall not be afraid, we shall remember what the Lord our God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
We, the truly born again Saints of the New Life Mission are Gods chosen People.
God has truly blessed us all just as He said He would.
From all of us here in Holland.

Dai-nos, Senhor, a paciência, neste ano de dias de tempestade e cheios de trevas, para conseguirmos sofrer a opressão e as torturas dos nossos carrascos. Dai-nos a força, ó Senhor da justiça para perdoar-nos o mal dos nossos irmãos e para carregar a Cruz tão pesada e sangrenta, com a tua humildade. Nos dias em que os inimigos nos roubam, que consigamos suportar a vergonha e a humilhação, Cristo, nosso salvador, ajuda-nos. Mestre do mundo, Deus e do Universo, abençoa-nos com rezas e dá às nossas almas o humilde descanso nesta hora horrível e insuportável. No limiar da nossa sepultura, respira para os lábios dos teus humildes escravos força maior do que a força humana - para rezar pelos nossos inimigos.

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus our Lord and saviour
The period in church history from A.D. 100 to A.D. 314 was known as the Martyr Period, when literally thousands and thousands of courageous Christian men, women, and even children sealed their fate with their blood.
Secular historians agree that there have been 10 great persecutions against the church. Ten major attempts to wipe out Christianity from the face of the earth, starting with the wicked Caesar Nero and ending with Diocletian. Believers were fed alive to wild animals. They were taken to Roman arenas for sport. They were torn apart, tortured, and burned at the stake.
But instead of growing weaker during these times of persecution, the church actually grew stronger. Persecution can have that effect.
In a way, persecution will separate the real from the false, the genuine from the fake. If you are a true follower of Jesus, then you won't back down if a little persecution comes your way. If God allows persecution in your life, then He will give you the strength to face it.
We find this to be true in the case of Polycarp, a great hero of the Christian faith. The pastor of the church in Smyrna, he was martyred on February 23 in A.D. 155. On that day, the public games were taking place, and the crowds were whipped into a real frenzy. Someone cried out, "Let Polycarp be searched for!"
The night before, Polycarp had a dream in which the pillow under his head was on fire. He woke up and told his fellow believers, "I must be burned alive." When Polycarp was arrested, he asked for the privilege of having a final hour to spend with the Lord in prayer.
As Polycarp entered the Roman arena, God spoke to his heart and said, "Be strong, Polycarp, and play the man." The Roman proconsul gave him the choice between cursing the name of Christ and making a sacrifice to Caesar, or dying. Polycarp said, "Eighty-six years I have served the Lord. He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who has saved me?"
When the proconsul threatened him with being burned at the stake, Polycarp replied, "You threaten me with the fire that burns for a time and is quickly quenched, but you do not know the fire that awaits the wicked and the judgment to come into everlasting punishment. Why are you waiting? Come and do what you will."
The crowds went crazy, providing firewood and kindling from their woodshops. There Polycarp stood, and they set the wood around him on fire. Amazingly, the fire did not harm him. It came right up to him and would not burn him, while Polycarp sang praises to God.
Finally, they couldn't wait any longer and thrust him through with spears. Polycarp showed true courage in the face of true persecution.
Sometimes we will whine a little about how hard it is to be a Christian. But maybe we need to stop for a moment and consider our experience in comparison to that of Polycarp's. Perhaps then we will understand what persecution really is.
Jesus said, " 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20).
If you are living a godly life, then you will be persecuted in some way, shape, or form. But persecution can actually help you grow stronger spiritually.
Persecution reminds us of two very important things. First, it reminds us that we are children of God. Jesus said, "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you" (Matthew 5:11–12).
Second, persecution causes us to cling more tightly to Jesus and remember that this world is not our home. I do believe that persecution will intensify as we get closer to the Lord's return.
Today, it seems like you can believe anything but the gospel. Everything is fine, except the gospel. Do you know why? Because it really bothers people when you say, "Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father."
But if you are a Bible-believing Christian, then you can say no less. Our Lord Himself said He was the way, the truth, and the life (see John 14:6). If we really believe it and really proclaim it, then we will face persecution.
IN GOD WE TRUST
GOD Bless You,
Yours in CHRIST JESUS........julian
