Whereas we live by Faith and not by sight in the most beautiful Being of all Universe, Yeshua ha Mashiach, we also love Him with all our hearts, our minds and our strength;
Whereas we have been loved by the Father so much that He gave His only Son Jesus to be crucified as a Perfect Sacrifice for us; He was buried and on the third day He rose from the dead, and now He is well sitting at the right hand of the Father;
Whereas ‘in the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. And everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved;’
Whereas ‘in the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. And everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved;’
Whereas this promise was for all believers of the First Century, is also for us, our children and grandchildren and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call;’
Whereas we were washed, we were sanctified; we were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God;
Whereas the Lord preached ‘Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here’ He also ordained us to proclaim to all people ‘Repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that He may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. Heaven must receive Him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets;
Whereas ‘the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, instead He is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance; the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare;
Whereas since everything will be destroyed in this way, we ought to live holy and godly lives as we look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells’;
Whereas we are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with our fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’- We are Abraham’s offspring to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom and to disciple all nations;
Whereas God has committed to us the message of reconciliation, we are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God is making His appeal through us. We implore to all people around us on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God;
Whereas the Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come;
Whereas we are the Salt of the earth and the Light of the world; Jesus said also a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. We are sent by Him into the world beginning in our communities and marketplaces;
Whereas, as Light, are to shine at the top of the seven mountains of society: Family, Religion, Education; Business, Politics, Media and Arts and Entertainment;
Whereas we are all listening to the Voice of Jesus, there is One Flock and One Shepherd only so there is One Kingdom, One Church, one Faith; Christ has given even in these days, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip His people for works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ;
Whereas we are not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, we are encouraging one another—and all the more as we see the Day approaching; we persevere in the doctrine of the apostles and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers; we respect and are submissive to the Presbyters the Holy Spirit has appointed to shepherd the Church that God has purchased with His own blood; we declare in every city, every community, there is One Church only;
Whereas Jesus said, if anyone comes to Him and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be His disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow Him cannot be His disciple. In the same way, those of us who do not give up everything cannot be His disciple;
Whereas godliness with contentment is great gain for we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it; we live content and joyful, we have food and clothing. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grieves;
Whereas as men and women of God, while we flee from all the lusts of this present era, we pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and
gentleness.
Whereas while we are fighting the good fight of the faith we take hold of the eternal life to which we were called when we made our good confession in the presence of many witnesses;
Whereas we charge all believers to keep all teachings of Christ without spot or blame until the appearing of Him, which God will bring about in His own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, to Him be honor and might forever. Amen.
Whereas we are insulted because of the name of Christ, we are blessed, for the Spirit of Glory and of God is resting on us; we each are called to suffer as a Christian, we will not be ashamed, but praise God because we bear that name;
Whereas as we will go to our cities and to ends of the earth, although some of us will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death; although we will be hated by all nations because of Jesus we shall overcome the old serpent by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of our testimony because we will not love our lives unto the death;
Whereas Jesus loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us kings and priests to serve our God and Father — “Look, He is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see Him";
Each of us declares as we love one another, our neighbor, our nation and all peoples of the Earth, crying out: Help us, Holy Spirit!
