“For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the ELECT – if that were possible.”

GOLDEN NUGGET:
First John 1:6
“FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.”
Christmas in Kaitaia – PICK A CAR PICK A PRIZE
HE CALLED ME ‘PILGRIM’
Every Saturday the big car park in front of the Warehouse here in Kaitaia in the north of New Zealand turns into a busy marketplace and people come from all over the place to sell their merchandise.
According to Acts 1:8 where it says, “…; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (Kaitaia), and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth,” I witnessed to somebody in the course of our conversation.
I have seen him since and last time I saw him he called me pilgrim. And I feel like a pilgrim! (Did I not tell that somebody else lately?) I told him so much. I said also, “I actually like to be called pilgrim. I am in fact a pilgrim. I said also to him, “You know quite a bit about what the Bible says. We must talk some more!”
I looked up the word ‘pilgrim’ in the concordance and here are some Bibleverses:
Genesis 47:9
In this verse you find the word pilgrimage twice.
Psalm 119:54
Read this verse in The Amplified Bible and you find the word pilgrimage.
Exodus 6:4
Aliens= pilgrims. I like aliens even better. But are we living as aliens? Or are we considering this our homeland?
Hebrews 11:13
aliens=pilgrims. It says here also that we are strangers! Are you feeling like a stranger on earth?
First Peter 2:11
aliens again=pilgrims. And strangers!
According to the dictionary a pilgrim is “a person who undertakes a journey to a sacred place.”

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Matthew 22:34-40
Intr.:
” ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?’
*************
Jesus replied:
A. ‘ Love the Lord your God with
1. all your heart and with
2. all your soul and with
3. all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
B. ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
***************
End:
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Faith in myself, in People and in the Universe
THERE ARE PEOPLE TODAY, WHO HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN THEMSELVES, TOTAL FAITH IN THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM AND TOTAL FAITH IN THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF THE UNIVERSE!
You can read about it!
What does the Bible, the Word of the Living God say to that?
The Bible says: Proverbs 28:26 “He who trusts in himself is a fool,…”
The Bible says: Jeremiah 17:5 “Cursed is the one who trusts in man,..”
The Bibel says: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Somebody wants to hear from me.
I am looking at the last page of a book where the author says in a handwritten note:
“If you have what it takes to be a winner, I want to hear from you.”
