THE APOSTOLIC VOICE
Dec 18, 2002

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Many blessings my friend,

Our website and newsletter ministries have been revived since August this year and many have been with us and you are still here yourself. I must take the time out to heartily thank you, especially to those who have written to us. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is listening but your continued support show me that God’s grace is still using this method of communication to reach those who are in need of that particular letter. Here is a reply I got from the last letter to show that it’s worth your time to open our newsletters:

"This was my very first time reading an article from the newsletter and I was extremely impressed. I am from Jamaica and recieved the link via a friend of yours but never read any of the mails sent to me.

WHY? It's my belief that anything sent in bulk was not originally intended for me and therefore could not be worth my while. Cool, I was wrong. It might not have been personal mail (i.e. it's bulk mail) but I was certainly uplifted and blest. Thank you." (Samantha Barret).

THIS SEASON

Yes, it’s still Christmas and we are still bombarded with the sentiments and frame of mind of the season. One such delusion is the often feeling that you're alone. My dear friend, nothing could be farther from the truth. Even if you’re physically without anyone around you, God is with you. Here is what Jesus said in that respect, "Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me." (John 16:32). God is with you, often called the "comforter" (If your comforter doesn't talk to you, you need the new/real comforter). Moreover, you have many brothers and sisters in the Lord and believe you at this time...

1.At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you

2.At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3.The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4.A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5.Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6.You mean the world to someone.

7.If not for you, someone may not be living.

8.You are special and unique.

9.Someone that you don't know even exists loves you.

10.When you make the biggest mistake ever, soemthing good comes from it.

11.When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12.When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner later will get it.

13.Always remember complements you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14.Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15.If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they're great.

ANOTHER DELUSION

Another delusion is that you’re weird, an outcast, a freak etc. That is, if you don’t celebrate the world’s holiday called Christmas. Therefore, one becomes intimidated and tries to fit in. Before I cushion that with scriptures, look at many Muslims who don’t celebrate Christmas; are you going to intimidate them, yet they don’t have the spirit of God? Beloved, lay hold to eternal life and be not entangled with the system of the world. Christ our savior told us these two things, do you think it would be different now; especially in the time we are in;

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin."(John 15:18-22)

"And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them not therefore"(Matt. 10:21-28)

There is a glorious day I away and last night I leaped in my bed while reading Isaiah and the coming of the thousand year reign with Christ. My dear friends, it will be worth it! The life you lived, the time spent in prayer, the sacrifices of praises to God, the money forsaken for the work of the Lord, the opportunities missed to advance the kingdom of God, time spent reading his word, love shown to your "enemies" and many more things forsaken for the sake of Jesus Christ and his righteous cause in you! It will be all worth it! Stand! Stand! And continue to stand!

God bless you. Thanks for being apart of the list this year. Have a wonderful New Year and be blessed in the Lord.

Oneil.
