Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of the law. Psalms 119:18

For the Christian, there is nothing more pressing than seeing reality God's way. Seeing life God's way is not an option that we consider for our own benefit; but to the glory of God, even if we don't understand in the given moment.

God's perspective on life is the driving instinct of the Believer and will always stimulate affection for an unswerving love for the Word of God. Only Christians who acknowledge their life is Jesus Christ will fervently and faithfully abide as committed doers of the Word and cannot be displaced by another kind of usefulness.

A growing believer understands the importance of a biblical perception of God's will. They find themselves disciplined enough to strip themselves of all that their imagination avails them. We yield to the essential discipline of the Christian life of saying YES to the influence of the Holy Spirit. The alternative is very unfortunate. It is not unusual for Christians to habitat in darkness (a self-willed motive)... Yet, a Believer yielded to the Holy Spirit cares only to glorify God.  Daniel's consecration stood out distinctly like a towering mountain peak. Why is this? How did he ascend to these heights? What brought him so near to God? What made him so Christ-like? The answer is easy: Daniel believed God... he saw life as God demonstrated it.  Thus, he prayed much, he prayed strong. He asked, he sought, and he knocked and there was God. The Lord swayed Daniel's intellect, enriched his emotions and filled and enlarged his heart. And all this was so because Daniel was preeminently a man with an eternal vision.

Seeing reality God's way takes a tremendous amount of discipline. It is the sense of worth that we gain from doing so that compels us to a habit of obedience regardless of what we see or don't see with our naked eye. We perceive that there is one reality that changes not: The Word of God.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus... Romans 8:1

One of the most difficult Christian's for God to influence is the one who will not forgive themselves.  They remain intimidated by a past-experience and enslaved to the post-experience of guilt.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ demands that we beware of any enslaving thought that would provoke a continued indulgence of self-condemnation after one has repented of their sin (Romans 8:1).  For one To forgive themselves, they must bring every condemning and condescending  thought into captivity to Christ Jesus and begin to think scripturally about the death of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5). The only reason why God is justified to forgive sin is the death of His Son, Jesus Christ.

The death of Jesus Christ for our sins was necessary.  For we cannot secure the blessing of salvation by virtue of our own righteousness.  Either we receive the GIFT of salvation FREELY, or do without it.  God's forgiveness is not hindered in the least for all who are in Christ Jesus (1 John 2:1,2).  No matter how you feel, no matter what accusations you may wrestle with from within or from without, Jesus Christ will never condemn those He purchased with His blood (period). 

Knowing the fact that Jesus Christ is our Savior and friend, will keep us from over-reacting to over-whelming thoughts of guilt. The world's answer to guilt, pressure and suffering is to look for someone to blame, develop a deep desire to escape, deny the problem, or fall into depression. These are not habits we can afford to live with. Outlandish odds will press against you.

No matter what is happening in your life, Christ is eager to forgive and restore.   Know that there is certain entrance to a renewed fellowship with your heavenly Father. Your relationship to Christ makes forgiveness desirable and beneficial.  Salvation is Christ Crucified; God Satisfied; The Believer Justified. 

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger   

Cast your burdens on The Lord Jesus Christ

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. -Jesus Christ

The truth about the new age

The "new age" is a religious mechanism to change our worldview into an eastern mystical worldview...You give up your mind even though you don't realize you're giving up your mind. -Caryl Matrisciana.


Yoga or Hinduism is the basis of the n

ew age and the father of the new age is satan. It is a doorway that opens you up to demonic possession, as do other new age practices such as meditation, chanting, tarot cards, reiki,etc...There are deceiving spirits out there that will try to fool you into believing they are angels of light bringing you closer to God. They pull you in and trap you in darkness. Don't fall for the lies. Only Jesus is the way to God. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6 I was deeply involved in these and other occultic practices for years so if you want to talk, I am here ♥

Powerful Testimony for Jesus Christ

He is waiting for you...

Jesus is God, one with the Father and the Holy Ghost. Before the foundations of the Earth, He was. He left the glory of Heaven to come down here to Earth to give His life for you and me, that all who would believe in Him would have Eternal Life and be restored unto the Father, which we all fell away from when our race was lured into sin by satan. He is here now, asking you if you will repent of your sins and ask Him to come into your heart and be your Lord and Saviour. All who come to Him will be set free from the power of sin, which is death. He gives Life and Salvation and Grace, not based on your goodness, but on His. He is waiting for you, reaching out His Hand to you...Will you reach back? ♥

The joy of the Lord is my strength

"God, you are my God and I will ever praise you." God you are so beautifully amazing and I am filled with awe at the wonders of your Love. Thank you for being merciful, gracious and steadfast in your love for us. Thank you for saving us with your redeeming blood. Thank you for being the True Vine and the Living Water. I love you and am humbly grateful to be your servant ♥

The Way of Jesus Christ

Christian Economics:

If we, as the Body of Christ, live this way, as demonstrated in the Bible, God's Holy Word, there will be no need among us, as God's ways will be fulfilled. 

Acts 2:44-45; Acts 4:32-35

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles 'feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Does God choose who goes to Heaven?

The term predestinate in the context of salvation literally means: knowing who to choose or own before the beneficiary's decision will be made in agreement with the call to salvation. God who is omniscient already knew in eternity past who would respond in agreement with His offer of eternal life through Christ Jesus by faith (Ephesians 1:3,12).

God had predetermined that salvation would be by grace through faith in Christ crucified alone. Thus, all are afforded the opportunity to be saved (Titus 2:11). God never predestined that people would go to hell (2 Peter 3:9). As a matter of fact, hell was purposefully and exclusively prepared for Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41). While it is both true and tragic that people are going to hell... they do so at their own choosing. God has purposed that people would be born to be born again (1 Timothy 2:4). This required God's offer of salvation and man's responsibility to receive God's gift of eternal life by faith. God will never save anyone without their consent (John 1:12).

Predestination has to do with more than just going to heaven. God has predestined that all who would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ would be conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). It is to every Christians advantage to grow in the likeness of Christ. Life eternal & internal do not exist apart from Christ (John 15:1,5). The biblical perspective of God's work of predestination unto salvation is that God achieved it for us so that we can freely choose to receive it by faith (Ephesians 2:8,9).
