Hope...

As Resurrection Sunday approaches, Easter Sunday as is commonly referred, it is important for us to take a look back at what, through the Blood of Christ, was gained on that most terrible day... Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God in the flesh, stepped down from His Holy dwelling place, and came to the Earth He created, so that by His own Blood, we may be reconciled back to Him... In other words, Jesus Christ became the ultimate sacrifice; for as we know there must be a blood sacrifice in the form of a lamb, for our sin to be remitted. (Exodus 12:5, 34:20) Colossians 1:19-23 For it pleased the Father that in him (Jesus Christ) should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say , whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister... By the Blood of Jesus, you and I have been set free. Because of His sacrifice we are seen as unblameable, unreproveable, and completely innocent. When God looks at His Redeemed, all He sees is the Blood of Christ, and He does not see past that, He does not see our sin, only the innocent Blood that was shed on Calvary Hill... In the Gospel, there is Hope, there is Redemption, and there is a Promise that God will never leave us nor will He forsake us. (Deut. 31:8, Matt 28:20) Today, I pledge that I will present the Good News, that is the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ to the World so that they know there is Hope. Our Hope is found in Christ Jesus, and no matter what happens, there is always a chance for Redemption, all we must do is ask... If there is anyone who is in need of the Hope that is found in Christ Jesus, please feel free to contact me, my contact info can be found below... May God Bless you now in the Name of Jesus... Amen... fredblackmanjr@gmail.com

Helping God's People, Helping Oneself

  Helping God's People. Helping Oneself In 2013, I became deathly ill, requiring several surgeries, five months in the hospital, and a long, slow, recovery period, one in which I am still participating, over ten years later. During this time, I met a young man from Pakistan, a young man who wanted to learn who Christ was, and how he could meet Him. Because I was in the hospital, and later at home on bed rest, I had plenty of time to teach him Bible Studies, while sharing the Love of Christ with him. Today, Sajin Samuel Masah is the Pastor of the church, founded by the late Bishop Kenneth Phillips, and myself, in Kenewal, Pakistan, with just 15 young people, eager to learn about the Love of Christ. And now, after nearly ten years, the church is going strong, Baptizing nearly 450 individuals into the Kingdom of God just this year. Town after town, and village after village, Pastor Sajin and his team continue to evangelize, and do God's work, reaching out to the lost, the hurting,...

You Can Be Set Free

To whom to you belong? I mean who is in control of your feelings, emotions, heart, mind, and soul? Is it yourself? Is it just time and chance? Is it the one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy you? The truth is for many of us, we just don't know... For much of my life, I knew that there was a "god", I knew that we just didn't appear here on earth one day, but as far as having a "god" to whom I belonged was a foreign thought to me, I just didn't get it... I lived my life from one moment to the next, not really giving much thought to how the way I lived affected those around me; honestly, I didn't even care how my lifestyle affected myself, but one day, that would all change, I would have a God encounter... It was a point in my life in which everything had begun to unravel, my job, my personal life, everything... I can remember my mom telling me that unless I gave it to God, the troubles of my life at that point would eventually overcome me... ...

Surely I Come Quickly...

Hosea 4:6-7 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame... As I mentioned previously, I have just fallen in love with the Book of Hosea, and as prophecy continues to unfold before our eyes, it is important for us to understand what's going on around us, and we can only understand it by reading the Word and making it a part if who we are... Jesus Christ Himself read and studied the Word, and as a matter of fact, He quoted it often. Jesus Christ is our sinless and Holy example, and He expected the Apostles and all who followed Him to know the Word themselves... One example of this can be found in Matthew 22:31 when speaking, He stated "Have you not read?" He spoke these words In expectation that ...
