The orphan spirit
John 14:18, John 3:3, Romans 3:23, 2 Corinthians 5:17
There are many young men and woman in our world today who don't have a good father figure in their lives, a mentor. John 14:18. John 3:3. Uncle Angus talks about the orphan spirit. Romans 3:23. Because of sin, we have all become orphans, but when we are born again, we become new people in Christ. The old is passed away, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
The way home
Isaiah 42:6–7, Isaiah 49:6, Acts 13:47
People are lost, they don't know what to do or where to go. You and I have a responsibility to tell the world that Jesus is the only way. Isaiah 42:6-7. People everywhere on this earth are sitting in spiritual darkness and prison. Isaiah 49:6. Acts 13:47. God has given us an order, to show people the way home. Jesus is the Light of the world.
All nations
Acts 8:7, Isaiah 53, John 1:1, 1 John 5:7, Zephaniah 3:10
John 1:1. 1 John 5:7. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Zephaniah 3:10. Acts 8:27. Uncle Angus talks about the Ethiopian eunuch who had travelled to Israel to worship the Lord, and Phillip who told him about Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53. God has put eternity into the hearts of all men. God is calling all mankind to salvation.
Personal testimony
Hebrews 13:8, Colossians 1:27, Acts 6:10, Acts 10:15
Hebrews 13:8. There is nothing more powerful than a personal testimony. Acts 6:10, 15. Steven became the first martyr as he testified about the power of God. People are not interested in what we have to say, they are interested in what He, Jesus Christ, the Word of God has to say. Colossians 1:27. When they looked at Stephen they they thought that they were looking at an angel, because they could see Christ in him. When Jesus speaks, we need to listen up.
Confession
1 John 1:9, Psalm 32:5
We need to understand that if we belong to Jesus then we are of those people who say sorry if we have done something wrong. God is not looking for good people, but for godly people. Psalm 32:5. 1 John 1:9. God has given us a way out. There is immense power and freedom in saying sorry. The devil doesn't want us to confess our sins because it sets us free.
Choices
Deuteronomy 10:12, Revelation 3:16, Joshua 24:15
Who are you serving? Are you serving man or are you serving God? God would rather that we be either red hot or ice cold, not lukewarm. Revelation 3:16. Deuteronomy 10:12. People are looking for those who will stand up for righteousness and what they believe no matter what. We need to make choices today. God is a holy God. Joshua 24:15.
No turning back
Luke 9:62, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 7:7
Luke 9:62. As a farmer, Uncle Angus understands the principal of ploughing: you need to plough straight and deep. A farmer needs by faith, to put their plough into the ground and go forward. If he starts to doubt and look back to check, it will throw his direction off and effect the whole field. Jesus is telling us not to keep turning back. Hebrews 11:1, 6. Matthew 7:7.
Mindful of us
Psalm 8:4–6, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 8:25
Are you feeling lonely or forgotten, like there is no hope left for you? Uncle Angus wants to encourage you today. Psalms 8:4-6. God has made you in His own image, He is mindful of you. Hebrews 13:5. The Lord says that He will never leave us nor forsake us, He will not leave us as orphans. Matthew 8:25.
Believed
John 4:50, 1 John 5:7, John 1:1, Romans 10:17
Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021. We really need to build up our faith. John 4:50. 1 John 5:7. Jesus Christ is the Word. John 1:1. We need to believe the Word of the Lord and not the lies of the devil. Romans 10:17. If we spend time with the Word, our faith will grow.
Trust and obey
1 John 5:7, Isaiah 26:3
Who are we putting our trust in? If Jesus is not in control of our lives, then we are in trouble. 1 John 5:7. Jesus is the Word. Isaiah 26:3. If we will keep our eyes on Jesus, trusting in Him and hoping in Him, then He will give us His peace. We make mistakes when we don't obey God.
The voice of God
John 1:1, Matthew 11:28–30, Psalm 29:4
Have you heard the voice of God? Psalm 29:4. On the day that we audibly hear the voice of the Lord, it will be unforgettable. Our God said one word and and all of creation came into being. John 1;1 The voice of the Lord is powerful and full of majesty. Matthew 11:28-30.
Just believe
Romans 1:17, Hebrews 2:4, James 2:23
We need to have faith in Jesus Christ, not faith in faith. Romans 1:17. The hallmark in this ministry is faith in Jesus Christ. During the Reformation, it was realised that the just shall live by faith, and it revolutionised the church. We get to heaven by faith in Jesus Christ not by our good works. Hebrews 2:4. James 2:23.
Turn and live
Lamentations 3:33, John 3:16, Ezekiel 33:11
God came to give us life, and He will be with us until the end. The Lord does not want us to die and go to a lost eternity. Lamentations 3:33. John 3:16. God takes no pleasure in people dying in their sins, He wants us to turn back to Him and live. Ezekiel 33:11. Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021.
Chosen
John 15:16, Matthew 4:19
John 15:16. God chase us, He hand picked us. Matthew 4:19. It's not about our ability. When He chooses us, then He has a purpose for us, this comes with both privilege and responsibility. If we feel we have messed up in our purpose then there is still hope, we can turn to Him today, dust ourselves off and go forward in obedience.
