Spiritual Growth

Spiritual Growth is the most important aspect of my life today.

Years ago I heard a man in a spiritual group meeting in a church basement in New Hampshire say: “Grow or Go”.

spiritual growth I knew right away that he meant we should strive to walk closer to God on a daily basis. In my own personal journey, I have not achieved perfection & realize I never will. I have made progress though.

My journey of walking a spiritual life began as a young child. I learned the fundamental principle that there is some power that many refer to as God that made the world we live in.

In my youth, I lived a life similar to the Prodigal Son described in the Bible. My family tried to rescue me a couple of times. At the age of 34, I was faced with the reality of liver failure from my riotous living. I had to Grow or Go.

God as I did not understand Him at that time put everyone & everything into place that I needed to begin the growth phase of my life. I have asked God for help since that morning in February 1994. I have made some bad decisions along the way and realize that every human being on the planet makes mistakes just like me. I had to surrender my whole being to God through deep and sincere prayer in 2016 and now and am back on a powerful period of spiritual growth.

study-bible In 2004, I began reading the Holy Bible. I ask God each time I open the Book to guide my understanding. I also attend weekly Bible classes to be instructed by a mentor and hear other people’s interpretations of the Scriptures.

The biggest single principle that I have learned is that God is Pure Love. His Love and Character are revealed in His Moral Law which is known as the Ten Commandments.

Many sincere Christians say that it is not necessary to keep God’s Moral Law but they are mistaken. Here is why:

Written In Stone by the Finger of God
Eternal In Nature
Our Government Has Laws

Even before there was a nation of Israel, man knew the principles of God’s Law which is Pure Love. By keeping God’s Law, we are saying I surrender to you God. I want you to teach me how to Grow. I want spiritual growth in my life.

I am not saved by keeping God’s Law. I am not a legalist either. I am a Loyalist and look at His Moral Law as Ten Promises. I do not look at God’s Law as bondage or rules that are impossible to follow.

Jesus tells us in John 14:15: If you love Me, keep My commandments.

So here are the Promises that God is making to me by Daily Prayer and Bible Study. Because You Love Me Daniel:

You won’t find it necessary to have another God. I brought you out of bondage.
You won’t need any idols like gambling, movie stars or sports stars or sports teams.
You won’t need any images or pornography or any evil thing in your life. You won’t take my name in vain or use foul language.
You won’t need to be a workaholic and you won’t have to try to work your way to heaven. I provided your ticket to heaven through Jesus Christ.
You won’t disrespect elders and you will live a long and fruitful life.
You won’t murder someone in your mind or physically harm another human being that I created.
You won’t need to have adulterous relationships.
You won’t need to steal what does not belong to you.
You won’t need to bear false witness or lie to anyone.
You won’t need to covet what does not belong to you.

So there you have the Ten Promises. I hope I can help you with your spiritual walk if you want these Promises in Your Life. Just Contact me if you are looking for spiritual growth in your life or need help or want to find a group of Bible believers where you live.

The Truth Shall Set You Free. I am Free Today, Praise God !

Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Welcome to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ Bible study. Jesus will come back the same way he left the earth in the book of Acts. Jesus went up in the clouds and will return the same way. Click on the video below to hear the message read.

Acts 1:8-11
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Jesus Ascends to Heaven
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Second Coming of Jesus Christ Matthew 24:30
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Matthew 24:25-27
See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Second Coming of Jesus Christ Revelation 1:7
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Psalms 50:3
Our God shall come and shall not keep silent;
A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
There is a common misconception in some religions about a secret rapture. The word ‘rapture’ is not in the Bible. The Bible says that God shall not keep silent and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. Tempestuous means stormy.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Revelation 6:14-17
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Isaiah 25:9
And it will be said in that day:“ Behold, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the LORD;
We have waited for Him;
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

Second Coming of Jesus Christ Revelation 21:1-4
All Things Made New
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also, there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Matthew 24:37-42
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

Luke 17:26-29
And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
As the Bible says, Jesus will come back for His believers and it will not be a secret rapture. Everyone will hear Christ as He returns in the clouds and the trumpet sounds.

God is supernatural my friends. God wants to save all man and sent Jesus to die for our sins. Here is the most famous verse in the Bible followed by a powerful verse about what God sent Jesus to earth to do.

Salvation John 3:16-17
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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus is on a mission my friend. Jesus will work on your heart until one of two things happens:

You Accept Him As Your Lord and Savior
You Go to Sleep
