THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD’S

Josimar Salum

“All the limits of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord;  and all generations of the nations will worship before his face.  For the Kingdom is the Lord's, and he rules among the nations.”  Psalms 22:27-28. And you want to believe and preach that the devil will take over the earth and the antichrist will rule the world?  You don't have any sense, do you? 

You have to read the Bible with the eyes of the Spirit and not with the lens of the Christian religion.

 Plagues, darkness, beasts, antichrists (there is not a single Antichrist  and in the book of Revelation does not mention any), persecutions, earthquakes, etc. are moves on the part of God.  He is the one who moves and shakes everything.

 “See that you do not reject him who speaks;  For if those who rejected what he warned them on earth did not escape, much less do we, if we turn away from him who is from heaven, whose voice then moved the earth, but now he has announced, saying: I will move, not only the earth, but also the sky.  And this word: Yet once more, it shows the change of movable things, as things made, so that immovable things remain.  Wherefore, having received a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us retain grace, whereby we may serve God agreeably with reverence and piety;  for our God is a consuming fire.”  Hebrews 12:25-29

 Killing disciples of Jesus all over the earth is not their defeat.  In fact, it is by dying that they win.  “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony;  and they did not love their life to the point of death.”  Revelation 12:11

 “Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him;  but the righteous shall live by his faith.  For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:4, 14

 “Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, and so the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.  And let him send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you beforehand, whom heaven must contain until the times of restoration of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the beginning.”  Acts 3:19-21

FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT EVIL IS TAKING OVER THE EARTH. By Dr. Josimar Salum

 

For those who believe that evil is taking over the Earth, that the anti-Christ and the beasts are about to strike humanity.  Satan's defeat began with the cleansing of him and his demons from heaven.  “Then war broke out in heaven;  Michael and his angels fought the dragon.  The dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail and there was no place for them in heaven anymore. ”  Revelation 12: 7-8 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of his testimony;  and they did not love their life until death. ”  Revelation 12:11.  “And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen!"  Romans 16:20.  And I just heard a laugh from the Father inside me.” - Josimar Salum # ASONE

Fruits of the Earth

"The fruits of the Earth. More than a billion reasons for graces and praises to God. The world is not of the Evil One neither evil is winning nor will it ever conquer. There is more goodness of God in the universe than evil. It's a matter of attunement. Only realize who is connected on the Throne. Only see the Kingdom that one who was born again "- Josimar Salum

Statistics about the Unfinished Task of World Evangelism

http://www.preachingtoday.com/illustrations/2012/june/7060412.html

The following statistics represent some of the challenges facing the church in the unfinished task of world evangelism:

As of April 2012, there were approximately 7 billion people on Earth.

Approximately 750 million (or about 11 percent) of those are willing to claim Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.

About 2.6 billion people (or 38 percent of the world's population) have heard the gospel but have not accepted Christ yet.

At present, just over 50 percent of the world's population (or 3.5 billion people) have not heard the gospel and most of them do not have a realistic opportunity to hear the gospel.

Here's another way to look at the challenge of world evangelism:

Of the 11,646 distinct people groups on the planet, 6,734 people groups (roughly 60 percent) contain between zero and two percent evangelical Christians.

Many of these 6,734 people groups have no churches, no Bibles, no Christian literature, and no mission agencies who are seeking to share the gospel with them.
