The Scarlet Cord Of Redemption (Joshua 2:18-21)

The story of Rahab, a harlot, is one of the most powerful stories of salvation. The scarlet thread, which was bound in the window, symbolized the then still-to-come shed blood of Jesus Christ. When God sent His spies, Rahab was convicted of her need to turn to the Lord and hence, she was saved before the destruction that was to fall on Jericho.

Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and His precious shed blood is the only way to obtain salvation. When we were living in sin, we were spiritual harlots in the kingdom of darkness and slated for destruction. But God sent His spiritual 'spies', which is the Word of God preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. As our hearts were convicted of our spiritual bankruptcy, blindness and prostitution, we repented and confessed Jesus as Lord. Spiritually, we tied the scarlet cord of redemption as we enter into a blood covenant relationship with God.

It’s time for the Church to get back to the cross, to the cross where Jesus shed His precious blood. Today, we are substituting fads, philosophies and vain self-help programs for the simple and unadulterated truth of God’s Word. The foundation of the gospel rests on the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Any gospel that does not have the message of the cross and the shed blood of Jesus is another gospel. It is accursed and scheduled for destruction. Every single blessing comes through the cross – salvation, healing, deliverance, the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The power of the cross, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is what makes the fulfilling of the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ possible.

We Are The Temple Of The Holy Spirit

November 3, 2024

Hosting Pastor: Bishop Mike Berdin, Charismatic Revival Center Fellowship In the Old Testament, King Solomon, who was a type of Christ as the Prince of Peace, was chosen to build the temple. The temple portrayed God’s grace and glory. It was a picture of the coming kingdom of God. The various furnishings in the temple have their significance. Whether it is the pillars, table of shewbread, candlestick, altar of incense, or any other vessels, they reflect the presence and worship of God. Then, the Israelites would travel to the temple to meet and commune with God. No priest could enter the Holy of holies without first being cleansed. Today, we are the temple, the residence, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Thank God, we can now enter into the inner sanctuary, the throne of grace through the blood of Christ. We are living epistle of Christ, the salt of the earth, the light of the world and a city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. As the temple of the Holy Spirit: · We are being built together for a habitation of God · We are to be a pure maiden to Christ · We are stamped with His seal · We have this treasure in earthen vessels · We are to cultivate the fear of the Lord · We are to defeat the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life · We are not to quench or grieve Him · We are a living sacrifice Do we hunger for God’s Word? How much time do we spend in seeking Him in prayer? Or have our careers and even hobbies draw our time and hearts away from God? As temple of the Holy Spirit, we need His manifest Presence. We desire to be filled with the Spirit, walking and living in the Spirit, having the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.

Come Into The Ark [English and Bahasa Indonesian]

June 22, 2024

Bahasa Indonesian Interpretation by Henok Hariyanto Hosting Pastor: Henok Hariyanto, Macedonia Ministry Jesus said that before He comes back to earth again, our world will be just like it was in the days of Noah. People are eating, drinking and partying. Many are consumed with pursuing money, power and sex. Now, there is nothing wrong with having the legitimate things in life, such as having food and sleep. But life is not just about fulfilling our physical needs. It is also to follow the Lord and seek His Kingdom. Today, we see all kinds of perversion and depravity. People are not only openly living sinful lifestyles, but want others to accept their behaviours. We are living in a day and age where evil is called good, and good is called evil. We have all kinds of blasphemers, mockers and scoffers of Jesus Christ. There is a spirit of violence that is persecuting those who believe God’s Word and walk in His way. The ark was a type of Christ. He calls us to come into the ark of His presence, protection, safety, shelter, refuge and rest. A storm is coming upon our world. It is a storm of judgment. Society will not get better and better, but rather worse and worse. We are a generation of vipers – sin has increased rampantly. Do we weep over lost souls? Do we warn people to flee from the wrath to come? We are close to the midnight hour, where the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, is coming soon! Are we ready to meet Him? Now is the day of salvation. Some of us are religious. We may even attend church regularly, have a form of godliness but denying its power. We do many good works, but are not resting in the cross and the blood of Jesus for our salvation. Today, we must make our calling and election sure! The door of the ark is still opened right now. But it won't be long before the door will be closed.
