Готови да срещнем Исус

Готови да срещнем Исус

Вчера разговарях с една дама, която се чудеше как Бог изобщо някога би могъл да сложи край на греха на тази планета.

Тя размишляваше върху факта, че на планетата има над шест милиарда души и много други се раждат всеки ден, като повечето от тях никога не са чували за Исус Христос. Тя описа колко заети са хората, като „ плъхове бягащи в колело”, стават рано всеки ден, работа, занимания с децата, домашни задължения,вечер си лягат изтощени, само за да се повтори същото на следващия ден. Сподели, че повечето хора изглеждат твърде заети, за да мислят за вечните реалности. Как, чудеше се тя, Бог ще приготви хората да се срещнат с Него? След което попита това, което беше най-голямото й безпокойство: В свят като нашият, какво ще определи кой ще отиде на небето и кой не?

Какво мислите? Как бихте отговорили? Докато размишлявах върху нейните въпроси, умът ми се обърна към Божието слово и си спомних думите на Исус в Евангелието от Матей 24 глава. Той каза, че преди Неговото идване времената ще са тежки, ще има войни и слухове за войни, глад, епидемии, лъжехристи, природни бедствия и опасни събития. Книгата Откровение добавя още щрихи към картината, като описва икономическия колапс и правителствени злоупотреби. Мислих за двата антагонистични принципа, воюващи на тази планета, двата принципа, които се борят за надмощие във всяко сърце. Божият принцип на безкористна любов, любовта, която “не търси своето” (1 Кор 13), любовта, която дава всичко, дори живота си за другите (1Йоан 3:16), която е във война със сатанския принцип на егоизма – “оцеляване на най-силния” – принципът, който се стреми да възвиши азът, дори до степен да убие другите, за да защити себе си.

Като размислях над тези два принципа, осъзнах, че истинският характер на човека не се определя в лесни, а в трудни времена. Лесно е да се демонстрира “доброта и любов”, когато времето е добро, но истинското безкористно служене, истинската любов към другите се разкрива най-ясно, когато времето е трудно. Ще продължим ли да даваме за другите, когато дори живота ни е застрашен?

В Трета Книга на царете глава 17 четем историята на вдовицата от град Сарепта. Пророк Илия беше в конфликт с цар Ахав и дълго време не бе валял дъжд на земята. Потоците бяха пресъхнали, храната бе станала оскъдна – истинско време на изпитания. Когато Илия пристига в град Сарепта, той среща една вдовица и нейния син. Илия я моли за вода и парче хляб. Тя има брашно и зехтин за един последен хляб – какво да прави? Да ги запази за себе си и сина си или да направи хляб за Илия? Да даде, в хармония с Божия закон за любовта или да защити себе си и запази малкото, което има?

Тя избра да даде, като по този начин влезе в Божия кръг на любовта и получи от Бога постоянни доставки на брашно и зехтин, които снабдяваха нуждата й по време на целият период на глад. Но тя получи повече от това. Когато единственият й син се разболя и умря, пророк Илия, чрез Божията благодат, върна отново живота на момчето . Каква благословия, каква награда като обичаш и поставиш другите преди себе си!

Когато в бъдеще, проблемите разрушат нашия свят – домове ни са унищожени, нашите близки отнети, здравето ни страда, финансовите ни средства са изгубени, свободата ни е застрашена – когато нещата от тази земя, на които разчитаме за нашата сигурност, са премахнати, кой от двата антагонистични принципа ще управлява сърцата ни? Ще продължим ли да обичаме другите в нашата бедност, в загубата ни, в земната ни разруха или ще се стремим да издигнем себе си, да експлоатираме другите, за да защитим финансиите си, имота си и дори живота си? Кой от двата принципа – любовта или егоизмът – ще бъде управляващата сила в нашия живот?

Онези, които са готови да се срещнат с Исус, са онези, които нахранват гладните, обличат голите, посещават затворените и помагат на болните  Онези, които дават, дори когато не им остава нищо. Онези, които са като Исус, не се страхуват от това, което се случва с тях, и няма да се отдръпнат от обичането на другите, дори ако това означава отказ от собствения им живот (Матей 25: 34-45, Откр. 12:11).
И точно както вдовицата и нейният син, онези, които обичат другите, влизат в Божия кръг на любовта и дори да заспят в гробовете си, един ден отново ще бъдат възкресени! Всеки човек ще бъде изправен пред избор – избор да даде себе си, да защитава, повдига, помага и обича другите или вместо това да защитава, повдига и помага на себе си, за сметка на другите. Коя сила ще изберем?

Testimony 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!
