AN EPISTLE TO VICTOR VINCENT, A PRODIGY OF THE CROSS !!! - LUKE 9:23, LUKE 14:27
It was indeed GOOD to hear the TACTICAL speech you had used to SHARE the NAME of CHRIST with the MUSLIM man....
God Bless! Romans 1:16, 1 Corinth 1:18, Isaiah 50:4, John 15:5,6
---------------------------
Victor!
As we had both taught you in WORD and ACTION, be BOLD in the SPIRIT of the LORD.. 2 Timothy 1:7...
When we learn to use the LANGUAGE of the LISTENER, we have won him to the half.....
For Example: When you mention "DUAH" for "PRAYER"...
You will win his attention...
Likewise, we should mention the SIGNIFICANCE of INJEEL....
They would not be able to deny it...
------------------------------
When we have FEAR of LIFE, we will never become BOLD for the GOSPEL.....
That's the reason; we need the CROSS....Luke 9:23, Matt 10:28,29
Holding the CROSS is DAILY DEATH to SELF!
Where you remember to LIVE in the LORD and for the LORD in HIS SPIRIT and WORD, moment after moment....
So, it would enable you to BREAK the BACK of SATAN in the BLOOD of CHRIST...
For the DEVIL has no authority over a DEAD MAN in CHRIST....
As we have taught you (BY EXAMPLE), be bold for the GOSPEL.... 2 Timothy 1:7
If not, the DEVIL will win you over... :)
------------------------------
When we reached the Muslim Hotelier in Kothagiri, what was the language used by us?
When we studied about the commonalities of ISLAM in line with the HOLY WORD, what did we teach you?
Remember the STRONG DOCTRINES we were taught in the LORD!
RECALL them in PRAYER and SPIRIT! James 5:16, Acts 12:24, Acts 19:20
Remember the CRUCIAL TERMS we used....
Like: Did you go to HAJ as a Process?
Are You a Sunni Muslim?
Are You a Shiite?
Are You Planning a Trip to Mecca?
Have you read the Koran?
How about the HADHEES?
Did you read about MARIAM?
How about the INJEEL?
etc..
And, the GOOD LORD will enable you to work on it....
Run the RACE like a RAPID HORSE....
------------------------------
What did we LEARN when we SPENT THREE HOURS with the KASHMIRI Muslims?
What did we teach you BROTHERS?
Did they FEAR Us?
What made them FEAR Us?
DO You Know the TRUTH?
Yes! it's the TRUTH in us, that made them FEAR....
Like the WORDS of PAUL in 1 Corinthians 1:18....
Remember BROTHER! Remember our TOIL in CHRIST....
We are working harder than many in the MINISTRY....
Yet! we are considered scum of the earth....
For more than a YEAR, we have taught you the LIFE in CHRIST....
which is totally against the CURRENT WAYS of the CHURCH....
What else do you need?
OH! YES! Do you wanna see the marriage?
Yes! it will be!
Like it was to JOSEPH the CONVICT...
Placing aside all the RUBBISH you hear from UNCONVERTED CHRISTIANS, pay attention to the TEACHING of the LORD....
Almost every one of our brothers are FOOLED in their HEARTS, it is due to their hardness...
Yet! it was for the LORD's GLORY to be revealed!
But, Pay attention to the WORD you have been TAUGHT....
If not, you will face regrets after regrets like DEMAS did.....
Pay SERIOUS ATTENTION to the CROSS....
There is not a SINGLE SOUL in CHENNAI, We can count it as an example....
SO, PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION to the STUDIES you had in the FEET of the CROSS...
------------------------------
We were SAVED in CHRIST and For CHRIST....
Let GOD be true and every man be a liar...
If CHRIST doesn't remain your daily goal, you will never understand the TEACHING you have received....
These TEACHINGS were REVEALED in the BLOOD of the CROSS...
Not any man or institute or college or church....
It was REVEALED in the SPIRIT....
Yes Victor! These are the TEACHINGS which BUILD the CHURCH of CHRIST....
And, we are ALIVE to complete the WORK which the LORD Began....
As we have often reiterated, the AGE of the CHURCH will change....
These BUILDINGS called CHURCHES and CATHEDRALS will FALL....
Like the DAYS of JEREMIAH the PROPHET....
The TEMPLE will become the HEART of Flesh....
Like the DAYS of HOSEA the PROPHET...
The RESTORATION will begin....
And, when it begins....
We will have a HUGE TASK....
We will be on HIGH DEMAND...
For a HUNGER REVELATION for the WORD will quake the SOULS....
And, If you are not prepared...
You will face regrets...
Since 2006, we have hunted for FAITHFUL and COMMITTED CHRISTIANS....
And our HUNT Continues....
Almost everyone LOVES CHRIST...
But, in their terms.....
Not the TERMS of BIBLICAL DISCIPLESHIP...
So, Remember Our TEACHING....
------------------------------
Our acquaintance and reading of the CURRENT CHURCHES doesn't imply CHRISTIANITY of the BIBLE....
These are the REDUCED, LIQUIDATED FORM of CONVENTIONAL AND COMPLACENT FAITH....
We were not saved from CATHOLIC FAITH into PROTESTANT FAITH...
We were not saved from worshiping IDOLS to worship ministry....
We were not saved from ONE DENOMINATION to another.....
Let me make than PLAIN...
As You Know, Our LORD saved me from CATHOLIC PAPALCY and took me to a PENTECOSTAL Outfit....
From the HARDCORE PENTECOSTALS, we were made to dip into ASSEMBLIES of GOD OUTFIT....
What amazed us; is the UNITY to DISLOCATE the TRUTH in their fragments?
What kept us; is the LOVE of CHRIST?
Our struggles wouldn't be understood within the walls...
Like the man described by A.W.Tozer, we were pinned to the frame...
Yet! we knew the PURPOSE in His time as the GLORY Unfolded....
As we went through the ROUTINE, Our LORD revealed the WORK AHEAD....
In His time, we were SEPARATED to PRAY and IGNITE...
Yes! It's the GRACE From above and not any INDIVIDUAL AIM.....
In HIS GREATER GRACE, we were REVEALED of the LORD'S SCHEMES...
In Obedience, we studied the WORD....
In Obedience, we taught you brothers....
In Obedience, we suffered shame....
In Obedience, we became FOOLS like the Folks in the Bible....
In Obedience, we ran and roamed into nook and corners.....
In Obedience, we have DELIGHTED the LORD....
Yet! We consider it nothing to the KNOWLEDGE of KNOWING CHRIST Our LORD....
May the LORD be GLORIFIED and let every FLESH Perish...
We don't deserve it! Yet! HE has counted us worthy to SUFFER in Him...
So, Please take the 15 months TEACHING seriously into APPLICATION...
Amen!
