FATHER, FORGIVE THEM

The disciples of Jesus asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. In Matthew 6:9 Jesus taught them this,
"In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.” 
Whom was Jesus referring to as Our Father in heaven. He was not referring to Himself because he was still on earth, and not in heaven. He was born as a human being, just like you and me, and not born as an angel or a Spirit. He was referring to His Father in heaven. And He was referring to our Father in heaven, and not to Himself. He was referring to the disciples' Father in heaven. He was referring to our Father in heaven. And that makes Jesus our Brother.
As our brother, He cannot forgive our sins. Only God the Father can forgive our sins. Jesus was only a mediator between His Father and us. 
And that was why while Jesus was dying on the cross, He prayed to our Father in heaven and said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34.
Now, more on the Lord’s prayer next. “Your kingdom comes. Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:10-13.
Readers, before I go any further, I want to ask you this very important question. Do you know why “forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" is included in our prayer? If we don’t forgive others, our Father in heaven will also not forgive us of our sins.
Readers, do we have past sins that Jesus’ Father has not forgiven us? If we have, repent and ask Him now to forgive us. Or do we still hold others for the pain that they have caused us?
Forgive them, don’t make it difficult for them to receive God’s grace and forgiveness.
Lord Jesus, help us do the will of your Father in heaven so we can be perfect in His eyes. I know you will help us. I know you will, without a doubt, as you have done so to me every day. I will always love you, Brother Jesus!
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Matthew 7:21.

Do we know what the will of Yahweh is? Do we know what the will of Jesus' Father is? When we go to church every week, are we doing the will of Jesus’ Father? If we don’t know what His will is, ask Jesus.

THE END OF TIME

Today I am going to expose all the lies that we have ever heard from people wearing black robes, white robes, or any color of robes or official attires from the pulpits of any church, large or small, anywhere in the world. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Readers, when does this scenario of Matthew 7:21-23 occur?. My understanding is that it occurs at the end of time when Jesus returns. It occurs after Satan and his human agents were given more than enough time to repent . Matthew 7: 21-23 occurs after all the Old Testament prophecies, and the New Testament prophecies that have been interpr...

THE GOSPEL TRUTH

  Good morning readers. I hope you are all doing well this morning, physically and spiritually. Jesus said, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13. Do you know why He said this? Because Satan and his human agents will try to mess us up till the end of time. In other words, we would not know if we are saved or not, for sure , until Jesus returns. This, my friend, is the gospel truth! Why is this the gospel truth? Because Jesus said so. "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness !'” Matthew 7:21-23. These men/women of great faith found out that they were rejected when Jesus returned for the second time, th...

THE GREAT DECEPTION

  Readers, how are you doing today? I hope I find you in a good mood and in good health. The topic that I want to share with you this morning is about Satan’s deception. I believe this is an important topic that I have not discussed much before and so let’s start. Satan plans to take millions and millions of us to hell with him by using churches and preachers to deceive us. Why churches? Because what is a better place for Satan to deceive people if not through churches and other places like that? And people who go to worship there continue to support them because they are hoping that they can go to heaven by going to a church. But do they know that the interests of pastors and preachers are different from the interests of church members? Preachers will say anything that church goers want to hear. They frequently say that Jesus died to pay for our sins. Who would not love to hear that? Read what Jesus said to one of His disciples, “Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain...
