IN TRUTH, IF THE LORD MADE US TO KNOW HIS TRUTH AND WE REFUSE
TO PREACH IT AT THE SUMMIT OF THE NATIONS FOR FEAR TO BE
KILLED PHYSICALLY, IT MEANS THAT WE ALSO PARTICIPATE
IN THE MAITANING OF THE SOULS IN THE ETERNAL DEATH.
It is the 308th message.
This present century is full of darkness and the belief in the lie which is given and taken to be the truth of the Lord. The men are happy of this state of things that rejoice their flesh and stomach that only have a short life span before returning where they have been taken. They are in the ignorance and do not know that their souls are in danger of the eternal death, and they are not attentive and do not give themselves in the truth of the Lord Jesus that makes them to see and to understand what they are in front the Eternal God, and what will happen to them in the case they remain in this state of lies, corruption, fake, swindling, magic, witchcraft, killing… But in this darkness, these people that are dominated by all what is evil and abominable in front God are regarded, admired and considered like those who can change a life; but of which life does it means, if it is not that to obtain the material (the dust) for which many have sold their souls. The Lord Jesus has removed us in the ignorance and has made us to know his truth so that we should preach it at the summit of nations so that many people should be set free from the ignorance of the knowledge of the truth and be saved (John 8/32).
Knowing that this truth preached or written is not welcomed by the kings of the earth, almost all the authorities and the false men of God who have filled the present world, as well as the crowd that is following them take us for enemies that have to be eliminated at all price. But we must not have fear or tremble. We should know that if our flesh is destroyed for a death soul that has come back to life, we have won because loosing the flesh of ten people for a soul that is liberated is all. What does it serve to one thousand fleshes that are destroyed compared to a single soul that is saved? We should not look at our flesh that will be destroyed because of the predication or the demonstration of the Lord Jesus’s truth to fear the enemies of the truth, but we must instead look how there will be great joy in heaven for a single death soul that comes back to life. That is why the Lord Jesus Says: “ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15/7).
No matter the title, the power, the material and the popularity of the enemies of the truth, they must not make us to be afraid. We must not be afraid of them, up to the point of not telling what the Lord reveals to us, and who wants it to be preached at the summit of the nations. That is why he says to us: “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10/26-28); because if we have the spirit of the lion of the tribe of Judah, we will not move backward, be tired, cool down face to the outrages, the promises of imprisonment and death or again, we should not see ourselves to be small, but we must instead see ourselves to be the kings and victorious because it is with this spirit of victory that king David defeated Goliath, If we look behind, we will never move forward in the battle. Today, many people look behind to see their children, wives, parents, and richness, asking themselves who will take care of them if they find themselves in prison or killed for the predication of the truth of Christ. We are forgetting that if the prophets like Jeremiah, Isaiah… the Lord Jesus himself and the apostles whose names are written in the bible were afraid to say the truth, or if they were looking behind like us today, we would be reading and edifying ourselves on the foundation of whom? Meanwhile we are edified on the foundation of the prophets, the apostles and the Lord Jesus himself (Ephesians 2/20).
Isaiah the prophet, seeing that people were prostrating in front the carved images as it is the case today, shouted saying: “Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made” (Isaiah 2/8). He continued saying: “Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship! They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.” (Isaiah 46/6-7). But can we shout on the top of nations against the statues (blocks of cement) that are taken and considered like Mary and Jesus in front of which people prostrate, knowing the risk of death that these images have for the soul which is important? We would be afraid to tell the truth because we will be against the master of the direction general of statues and monuments since the Vatican in front of whom even the head of states prostrate.
Those who were before us had the courage to announce what God did not want for the people no matter the imprisonment and promises of death that they received as it is said: “And when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, “You shall die!” (Jeremiah 26/8). When they made the king to read some words of the book of Jeremiah the prophet, he took the book and burnt it as it is said: “As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot” (Jeremiah 36/23).
Jeremiah the prophet was not discouraged, he continued to announce what the Eternal God did not want for the people, they took him and cast him into the cistern as it is said: “So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king's son, which was in the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down by ropes. And there was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud” (Jeremiah 38/6). Because of what the Eternal God was telling him to say, he was always beaten and imprisoned as it is said: “Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord” (Jeremiah 20/2) No matter all the things that they were doing to him because of the word of the Eternal God that he announced, he was never discouraged, and was always saying: “But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior…” (Jeremiah 20/11).
I ask myself if we can also become great like Jeremiah the prophet. The Lord Jesus himself was never discouraged of what he was announcing, what brought the people to chase him like a rat as it is said: “When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff” (Luke 4/28-29). Or when they were throwing stones to him like a bird that must be killed as it is said: “So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple” (John 8/59). The Lord Jesus was saying to the apostles that announcing or preaching this truth is a great richness in the kingdom of heaven and that because of this truth announced, they will be looked as mosquitoes that disturb, and that must be crushed, but they should not be afraid, they should instead have courage knowing that he has defeated the strong man who was maintaining the souls in the eternal death as it is said: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16/33).
When the apostles started announcing the gospel of Christ, they threatened them not to preach this truth anymore, and they responded with the courage that the three mates had, face to the king. That is why it is said: “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5/28-29); or again: “ for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4/20). And they had the courage to tell them the truth in face: “Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered” (Acts 7/52).
Apostle Paul was not discouraged in saying the truth no matter the treatments that he was receiving from the enemies of the truth of the Lord Jesus as it is said: “ But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead” (Acts 14/19). When Apostle Paul arrived somewhere and denounced the belief which does not give life to the soul, he was regarded as someone who must be removed from the earth. That is why it is said: “ Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live” (Acts 22/22). Sometimes, Apostle Paul was beaten on the mouth where the truth of the Lord was coming out and not on any other part of his body because it is what Acts 23/1-2 says: “And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.” And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth”. Apostle Paul was always bound so that he should not announce the truth, but he was always saying that even if he is physically bound, the word was not bound as it is said: “ … I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” (2Timothy 2/9). With all these sufferings, Apostle Paul was always saying: “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20/24).
There are many examples but I have mentioned few ones. Today, how will the chief liars tremble? They bring the women to prostrate in front the statue (block of cement) that is taken to be Mary; some women also have knees that are black and even tortured because of this prostration. While we are afraid to tell the truth face to this lie and seduction that causes many damages to the soul, they make people to carry the cross of malediction, taking a fixed amount of money from the parents, making them to believe that their children have received the baptism… Some of them corrupt the people to give a certain amount of money in exchange of the title of church elder or deaconess, some bring many people not to believe that it is the name of Jesus that saves and that it is this name that we have to bear witness, but they instead talk of another name which is Jehovah. Some sell prayers and others, saying that it is in the name of Jesus. Some presidents sign and legalise homosexual marriages… Facing all these things, if our mouth remains closed because of fear or because we look behind, there will not be the deliverance from the ignorance of the knowledge of the truth, and more again, the greatness and the power of God will not manifest in us. The greatness and the power of God manifest in the courage and assurance.
The chief liars and seducers make of the deception and seduction their belief in their ministry, thus making people to believe in it, telling them that it is the truth of Jesus Christ. When you denounce them, they start saying that you judge the belief of others. With the ignorance of the knowledge of the truth and the evil that have invaded this present century, are we able to make this world to tremble? With all what the Lord Jesus has given us and that accompanies us in the gospel so that the truth and good should have domination on the lie and evil, it is time to have the courage of those who were before us, to support the suffering and accept to die physically because of the death soul that must come back to life through the preached and received gospel of Christ. If we are not even above mockeries, how much more of beatings, the imprisonment and the physical death.
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
