To all dear Christians....

By -
Don't we know that...

1] Lord's prayer address directly to "Our Father in Heaven..."? (Remember, this was taught to us by Jesus Christ!)
2] Holy Bible condemns people worshiping anything created by God Himself (and/or) created by man?
3] Anything outside the scripture (Holy Bible) is man made, and hence against God! 
4] Is anywhere in Bible, Christians are asked to worship statue and/or painting or anything other than GOD?
5] Are not apostles Barnabas and Paul chosen to preach to Gentiles... tore their garments when people tried to worship him? (Acts 14: 11-17)
6] What the angel of God told John when he tried to worship the angel (Revelation 19: 9-10)?

questions to ask ourselves -

1] First of all, are we really fearing God? how can we make sure?
2] why do we need a statue / picture... to see... to believe? --- Did Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, or any prophets...saw God to believe in Him?
3] Is there anyone who has seen God? --- at least, is anyone alive who has seen Jesus, Mary or any apostles (or so-called saints)...to make their look-alike statues/pictures?
4] do we really understand God's word? --- when Bible is very much available to read & understand...why are we not getting instructions directly from it?
5] what is paganism? do we (by any chance) involve with that sort of worship, and hence commit sin against God in our ignorance?

Challenge to you -

Can anyone tell me one instance, where Bible ask Jews/Christians to pray 'THROUGH' saints????? 
   PS: there is not even a single reference to the word 'saint' in Bible...in any of the English versions!

I know.... we pray in Jesus Name for... 
- God gave Jesus “All authority in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18)
- he is the only son of God who paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross, thus redeeming us who believe the Gospel and repent from all sins.
- he is the only one worthy to break the seals and open the scroll that is in God's hand (Revelation 5 - full chapter)
- he is the only High Priest forever and ever!
- he is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life!

Requests to you -
1] We should not go by culture / tradition. (Jesus condemns this practice in Mark 7th Chapter) 
Mark 7: 6-13
He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
       but their hearts are far from me.
   They worship me in vain;
       their teachings are merely human rules.’
   You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God) then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

2] Lets read Bible with prayers... from scratch... to understand what GOD instructs His people.

Peace of the Lord be with you all! GOD Bless!!

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches"  (Rev 3:13)  Precious Child, I want to bring you out of your apprehensions to witness for Christ. You are afraid that people might mock at you. Your throat chokes every time you want to open your mouth to share the Gospel. The fear of ridicule silences you. Don't feel bad about it, My child. This was the problem of the disciples of Jesus also even though they had walked with Him for over three years. Can you imagine how a key figure like Peter could ever deny and disown Christ? Their weakness overpowered their willingness. The problem was solved by My coming. That's why Jesus wouldn't let them go out until they got filled with My power (Acts 1:4). When I came upon them, the cowards became challengers! Be filled with Me. Don't consider your timidity or boast of your oratory skill. Depend on Me. I will grant you boldness in all situations to speak forth the message of the Cros...

Utter Confusion!

"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you keep your head in all situations" (2 Tim 4:4,5) I am an ardent fan of John the Baptist. There is no harm in admiring him because all who started as John's fans became Jesus' followers. A comparison of John with many Christian ministers of today makes me hang down my head in shame and sorrow.  John was filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb (Lk 1:15); but the modern prophets communicate with the spirits of men who have gone to the tomb.  The Word of God came to him (Lk 3:2); but many of their revelations contradict the written Word of God.  He was a desert-dweller, dead to the lust for popularity (Mt 3:1); but they are city-lovers, hunting for recognition and lusting limelight.  John was a voice from God (Jn 1 :23); but the modern preachers are an echo of someone of similar brand.  He did not seek pulpits but people sought him and...
