No. #2 in a series based on the January, 2010 video that I created called, "Love Me." It will be completed and uploaded here - on YouTube - on January 15th, 2010.
The Project: Full HD resolution. After Effects Version: CS3 and CS4. File size: 52mb. Resolution: 1920x1080. Music Soundtrack by: Wayman. Images and video clips uploaded by me. Written by me.
This 2-part series (10 min. in length, each part) was created by me before God gifted me the ability to master After Effects CS4 and Sony Vegas 9.0. The clip was built entirely with Microsoft Vista MovieMaker with no HD properties, whatsoever. As old as it is, and as uncompleted as it was, it is the most-watched video on my You Tube Channel by unbelievers - already at 21,546 views with 197 comments. Video No.#2 is at 5,920 views. Go figure…!
TRUSTING CHRIST
What does it mean when the Bible speaks of a person “believing” in the Lord Jesus Christ? It is far more than simply an intellectual acknowledgement that Jesus is Lord and Savior – though that is a vital part of it. It also involves a commitment to Him as Lord in one’s life – a willingness to turn all of one’s life, including one’s dreams, goals, and ambitions, over to the Lord Jesus, to follow Him wherever He leads. This kind of commitment can only come from the work of God in man’s heart, as we have already seen.
“But,” one might say, “if God is the one who saves, and it is only on the basis of His mercy that anyone can be saved, how can I personally be saved?” If the true desire of your heart is to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and to commit yourself to Him as your Lord and then as your Savior, such a desire can only be placed in your heart by the Spirit of God
I want to personally thank all of you for your comments on my latest statement concerning the fact that the church of today has become a “business operation.” I want you to all know - including those who continue to stubbornly disagree with me - that I wouldn’t be making such statements in my sermons, unless they were Holy Spirit-inspired and backed up by Scripture…
For the gentleman who commented, “My brother it is our job as brethren, not to be focus on what other is [are] doing, but to stay true our calling and mandate,” I say, that this IS my calling and mandate - as well as ever Christian. Jude 3 and 4 is quite specific: that we must contend (fight) for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints. I am not focused on what “other’s” are doing. I am exposing false doctrine and other corruption in the Body of Christ that will have long-range and damaging affects on the spiritual growth of those who are still babes in Christ. That is why the church is in the pitiful and sad shape it is in now - because of Christians who would rather stick their heads in the sand and say nothing, then to stand on the Word of God and defend it against those who continue to preach and teach false doctrine. Like it or not, God specifically called a remnant of believers in the Body of Christ for this purpose and they are here to stay.
Taught during the last week of His life, Jesus was giving His followers some strong boundaries so that they would not fall away after He was gone. Here he talks of people who say that they are the Christ (“anointed one”). Notice the word that Jesus uses - deceive. To be deceived is to not know the difference between the truth and a falsehood - they both look the same. In a time when many are saying, “I am God’s anointed now.”, Jesus explicitly tells us that God’s anointed One is found in only one place - Jesus the Christ. Jesus is God’s final statement to humanity.
When you really look at it, the church has become a “business operation”. We have all of these conferences, where you have to pay all of this money to attend. You hear more about wealth, than you hear about trying to build a Christian spirit…
It makes me sad to think of so-called leaders in the black community talking about repositioning yourself, empowerment this and empowerment that and folks is dying spiritually and physically. How about we empower ourselves to preach the gospel! Instead of another seminar on how to have a successful business, how about we have a seminar on how to get saved!
I was looking at Jeremiah 23 this morning: ”But if they [these false prophets] had stood in My council, then they would have announced My words [not their words] to My people, and would have turned them back from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds.” Jer. 23:22 That’s interesting, because it seems as if history had already begun to repeat itself!
All over the world today, there is a vast renewal of interest in studying the Bible.
Thousands of people are reading the Bible to find the answers as to where they
come from, why they are here on earth, and where they are going after this life is
over. Searching the Scriptures with an open and honest heart toward God will
enable you to gain knowledge of God’s total plan for all of His people
