Ephesians 4:11-12(NKJV) 11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of
the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31What then shall we say
to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
James 4:6 (NKJV) 6But He gives more
grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Dear friends, if God is for us
who can be against us? If God is with us we do not have to be afraid of
anything or anyone. BUT if God is against us then there is nothing more
terrible then that.

When can God be against us?

Jonah 1:4 (NKJV) 4But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea,
and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be
broken up.

God came against [He sent a
great wind against Jonah] Jonah who was very narrow minded, and refused to go
where God wanted him to go [disobedience]. God came against His own prophet who
disobeyed HIM. God can come against us when we live in disobedience. [He is a
Loving Father and a Holy Father]

Who sent the Assyrians and the
Babylonians against the Old Testament church? Or Let me say it a different way.
Who allowed the Assyrians and Babylonians to come against Israel? It was God.
God opposed the proud Old Testament church [Israel].

Why? They were idolatrous,
immoral, wicked, exploited, murderous, and narrow-minded.

If we follow the example of the
Old Testament church then we will experience the opposing hand of God. [Do not
forget that HE is a loving Father who disciplines]

Genesis 11:7-8 (NKJV) 7Come, let Us go down
and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s
speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they
ceased building the city.

Who scattered and came against
a people who were united and working together? God.

That is right; God is the one
who came against a people who were united and working together. Why?

They were working against God.
They were very proud and wanted to make a name for themselves. They were
building a monument. That is why God opposed them.

James 4:6 (NKJV) 6But He gives more grace.
Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

James 4:6 (NJB) 6 But he has given us an even greater grace, as scripture says: God opposes the
proud but he accords his favour to the humble.

And
today history is repeating itself. Today’s church [generally speaking] has not
learned its lesson. Many still want to make a name for themselves. They promote
themselves and their church. The true church of Jesus Christ will be working
together with the Father just like the Son of God did. Those who want to make a
name for themselves will exploit and use people. They will be concern about
their programs and projects. They want the people to support their programs and
projects. They will control and manipulate people using the scriptures to turn
the hearts of the people towards themselves. But those who work together with
the Father has the Love [Agape (uncondional love which comes from God)] of the
Father and do everything because Agape Love moves them. They love people and
care for people [first those who are part of the “Body of Christ” and then to
those who are not yet part of the “Body of Christ”].

Let us
humble ourselves and work together with God [The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
work together] and His People.

His
People might not be from the same local church, institution, organisation,
denomination. They might not even see things the way you see. They might be in
different levels of faith. They might be rich or poor. They might smell good or
bad. They might be men or women. As long as they follow footsteps of Jesus The
Christ [Yeshua Hamashiah / Isa Almasi ] they are God’s people.

The
Anti-Christ spirit.
When
we do not work with God we are against God. When we are against God we are anti
Christ.

May
The Holy Spirit who has been sent from the Father continue to work inside of us
and change us to be like the Son of God.

Friends,
we are a faith ministry. We also need help from other members of the “Body of
Christ” so that we can help others rise up and fulfil God’s purpose and bring
glory to HIS Name. We need you and you need us to fulfil God’s purpose. When
you are lead by the Father to give towards our living and ministry then send it
