New Apostles Voice

Beware of False Teachers. The body of Christ, the true church of God, has been infiltrated and harassed throughout nearly twenty centuries, by false teachers claiming to have a new understanding of God's word. This so called revelation knowledge not only rejects major portions of scripture, particularly of the New Testament, but also twists and turns the meanings that were given by the Lord and the apostles. These ministers of false teaching often have a valid theological or university training accompanied by an impressive array of educational qualifications. They dress, speak and perform with a form of gentleness and glibness that can blind the reality of many, particularly younger converts, of the falsity of their teaching. Inwardly, according to Jesus' teaching, they are really like ravening wolves who are sent by Satan and other false leaders, to trap the genuine body of Christ. This we read and learn from Matthew chapter 7 verse 15.

Healing Is Most Important! Healing of spirit, soul and body is of utmost importance to all human beings. How often have we seen, either in person or on a television screen, mass healing meetings by televangelists, of many people being saved or healed. At times we have witnessed healing taking place, in our small local church and even in our homes. Healing is still fairly prevalent in some Pentecostal and faith- filled churches. The important question arises; how long do these people keep their healing? Is it for the full time of life's journey or does it last for only a few years or even months or weeks or perhaps, only a few days? Like most issues regarding healing, even if you are in a natural state, you have to live a healthy, lifestyle to maintain your healing. This means cleanliness, nourishing food and exercise.

Why Hasn't Jesus Returned? It is almost 2,000 years since Jesus said he would return for His body of believers, His church. Why hasn't He come back? We learn the reason why when we read the real answer written, for our understanding, in James chapter 5 verses 7 and 8. It is important that we keep working in our portion of the Kingdom of God and patiently wait for His return. Christians must wait expectantly, just like the farmer waiting for the harvest of His crop. The Lord patiently awaits the heavenly harvest not willing that anyone, who can be saved, will miss out being saved. However, we have God's promise of His near return. Huge numbers of born again Christians have gone to be with the Lord over the past 2,000 years. Many will shortly experience the wonder of His soon coming return, when He raptures and takes home His church to heaven!

You Are Forgiven! Every person alive on planet Earth, this very day, who repents and is genuinely sorry for their sins and is willing to accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as their own Lord and Saviour, is then forgiven of all their sins. This we learn from Psalm 103 verses 2 to 4. Their spirit, their inner person, is then recreated by the Holy Spirit, in the likeness of God and becomes a new creation. They are a child of God and their destiny is eternal life, in heaven, forever. Their sins are blotted out and remembered no more, by God.

Live Securely! We read that God's children can live securely in the knowledge and safety of God's word, the Holy Bible. This we learn from Proverbs chapter 1 verse 33. Those who are obedient to God's will and purposes will have confident trust in Him and will also be at ease even during troublesome times. They will not have fear of Satan's deceptions, nor fleshly desires, nor the dread of evil, from the surrounding worldly activities. Their peace and safety will be in their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who is well able to keep them, in His hands.
