I Have A Dream

Over 5,000 years ago, a baby was born.  An angel came to Joseph in a dream, telling him that his soon to be wife, Mary, would immaculately give birth to a son, and that they were to name Him Jesus Christ because He will be the Saviour of His people, saving them from their sins.  It was this boy who grew into a man, the Son of God, who became the most momentous decree from God in human history as He became the beacon of salvation, and of hope to the entire human race.  Even after we have been pulverised in flames and murdered by the sword of the ancient Roman Empire and the early Catholic Church long ago in history, we still stand against the injustices of our iniquitous enemies who belong to the synagogue of Satan.  Christ descends from heaven with all the angels, every eye on earth witnessing His coming, including those who have despised Him, and they will mourn.  His hair is white, His eyes ablaze, and His firm bronze feet to touch this earth once again.  And we who have served Him ascend, from the grave first to the living.

We do not know when this time will come, for not even Jesus Christ Himself knows.  That proof has been written in Matthew 24:36, spoken with Christ's own mouth.  So there is no need to use our feckless mathematics, philosophy, and astrology to discover the destruction of our species.  We must face the tragic fact that we do not and cannot possess the complete knowledge of the universe and divinity, for only God is omnipotent.  We must also learn to accept God's omniscience, no matter how impossible it may seem.  By human standards, it is impossible because our small minds can only hold such limited information and knowledge and comprehend just as much; but it is not impossible for the Deity, for He far surpasses our weak, soft flesh and inferior minds, yet He loves us above everything else in this infinite universe that He created.  Man still suffers under the manacles of sin and the chains of deceit, just as it has always been since the Fall of Man.  Five thousand years or so after man's creation, there still remain civilisations that live in poverty and have never heard the name of Jesus Christ and the Good News of whom He was, is, and is to come.  And as we followers of Christ still live to save these people, there are still those who remain to be appalled by our selfless condition and Godly character.

Jesus Christ has entitled we who believe and follow as co-heirs of His throne, and as His co-heirs we attain eternal life in God's paradise.  It is obvious that Christendom — the global population of Christianity — is defaulting from Christ's promissory acknowledgement.  Instead of holding fast to God's divine promise, Christendom has regressed to a lukewarm condition, and ergo insufficient to be co-heirs of His throne.  In Revelation 3:15 Jesus states that He'd rather have us be hot or cold — on fire for Him or cold against Him, rather than content or "lukewarm," as the text states.  Complacency makes you indolent and incognisant, which then only palliates your faith.  It is far easier to change the mind of a cold person than one who is completely content, for the content individual has already made up their mind and has no desire to move from where they are.  As Paul writes in First Thessalonians 5:14, we are to warn the lazy, but we are too lazy to warn others.  Ergo, we must urgently help ourselves first.  One may ask me, "How do we do that?"  The answer is simple:  Get off your lazy behind and continue walking on the path to Jesus Christ's throne, which we are co-heirs of.  We refuse to realise that the Christian Church's faith is bankrupt.  We accept attributes that God declares as abominations and intolerable, and we are complacent in our faith.  How, then, as a Church, is our faith strong?

God created me so that I may establish hallowed grounds in His Word, even reëstablishments.  Now is no time to live in our materialistic luxuries and inject ourselves with the drug of self-gratification.  Now is the time to rise from darkness and indolence and the desolate wastelands of sin, and onto the illuminated path of righteousness.  Now is the time to open the doors of our hearts and completely submit our hearts to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as God's beloved children.  Now is the time to lift up the souls of the people of the earth from the devouring pits of Hell and into the love and mercy of our God, our Solid Rock.  It would be unwise and foolish for us to underestimate the power of Satan, for I would not be writing any of this were it not for the effectiveness of his power that we have underestimated.  Satan's deceit and evil will not rest until Jesus Christ's Glorious Appearing.  Peace and harmony will never exist until Jesus the Messiah returns.

My faith in Christ is inextricable, and I cannot allow others to walk their path alone.  As I walk, I pledge to God that I will march others towards His kingdom, for I am a soldier under the command of Jesus Christ, my Commander.  I will never turn back, and I will never leave a fallen brother or sister.  Those of you who are content in your faith, I am utterly disappointed and I am in grief.  How can you be satisfied?  How can you be so indolent?  As long as there are people living in poverty, malnutrition, and bloodshed, you should never be satisfied!  How dare you rest your polished feet upon your riches and ignore the beaten, the lost, and the damned under the reign of man's cruelty.  I will repeat what Jesus has said to us all:  We, children of God, are the light of the world.  Nobody lights a lamp and places it under a blanket, but rather, we place it on top of a nightstand so it will brighten the darkness.  Likewise, we must let our light shine before man, illuminating their darkness with the light of Christ.  This is in Matthew 5:14-16.  But as you sit here in your pathetic complacency, you place your lamp underneath a blanket and you begin to become enveloped by darkness.  I am not satisfied, and I will never be satisfied until the day that I die.  Even in fatigue and illness I shall continue to breathe God's Word, for my faith is never satisfied, and neither should yours be.

I am not unaware that many of you have faced various trials and tribulations, but I tell you:  Your self-pity is no excuse to sit in your complacency and anger at God.  Your self-pity will not serve you well.  What do your complaints, blame, and anger accomplish?  That is why you're still miserable, because you have accomplished nothing in your complaints, blame, and anger.  Stop whining and begin to starve your doubts and feed your faith.  Sitting there and doing nothing about it with a lack of prayer only fuels your misery and anger, allowing it to continue boiling.  As Scripture tells us in First Peter 1:6-7, it is necessary to face tribulations so that our faith may result in the praise, glory, and honour of Jesus Christ.  For if we are not tested and therefore incapable of enduring, how can we bring Christ praise, glory, and honour?  It is this proper testing that builds strength to our faith, and our faith cannot grow in strength without the proper testing and training, for then it will always remain weak.  And as First Corinthians 10:13 tells us, God does not allow us to be tempted by anything that we are unable to overcome and control.  You may think you are overwhelmed, but it is your faith that is weak and capable of being strengthened.  You cannot overcome sin or trials by your power alone, but with the power of Christ invested in you.  So the lesson to take from it is that there is some necessary and dire building that you need to add upon your faith.  It isn't God who has given up on you; it is you who has given up on God and on yourself.

In spite of this complacency that we Christians find ourselves in, I still have a dream.  It is a dream that we all Christians share in unification as God's children.  I have a dream that one day, a great multitude of Christians will rise up from their complacency and become on fire for Christ once again.  I have a dream that one day, the sons and daughters of my brethren will love the poor and the lost and teach them of the Lord, Jesus Christ.  I have a dream that despite the unwavering heats of Africa or the colds of the North and even the South, we Christians will not mind it, for the transforming and renewing of our minds have disciplined us to ignore our fleshly desires and comforts and inspire us even more to go as far from the east as to the west so people may hear the glorious name of Jesus Christ and to personally know Him.  I have a dream that my own children and wife will live this vision that God has given me.  I have a dream that every knee shall bow down to God and all tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, every people and language and nation of the earth exalting our Lord and Saviour.  This is my hope, for as Scripture says in Romans 5:3-4, my afflictions produce endurance, which produces an improved character, which then produces hope.  This is the faith that has returned me to God, and must return others to Him as well.  With this faith we will be able to transform the abhorrence of our minds and renew them into love.  With this faith we will be able to coöperate together as united brethren, able to pray in fellowship, worship together, comfort one another through our struggles, and consummate our salvation together, for we know that on the day of the Lord we will be free for all of eternity.
