THE UAE & BAHRAIN MAKE PEACEWITH ISRAEL, AND WILL OPEN

EMBASSIES SOON.

15 SEPT 2020. As UAE FM Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan delivered a speech at the White House to mark the signing of a diplomatic accord with Israel that emphasized the need for peace in the region, Palestinians in the Gaza, sent a volley of rockets into the Israeli towns of Ashkelon and Ashdod.Inside the language of the “Abraham Accord,” you will find wording that briefly but powerfully states that in order to gain a peace treaty with the UAE, Israel has to do two things. First, they have to give up any and all aspirations of annexing anything until at least 2024. Secondly, Israel must agree to work to create a Palestinian state from within the borders inside, outside and around the nation of Israel as it currently stands. — Reported by the Jerusalem Post. What does Israel gain from signing the Abraham Accord? Enhanced global status, a powerful partner in the UAE, and billions of dollars in economic contracts and incentives now that trade relations are open. In other words, as your Bible has told would happen, they took the bait and are now on “the hook” of end times Bible prophecy.

PM Binyamin Netanyahu signed formal pacts with the United Arab Emirates and Bahraini FMs Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Abdullah bin Rashid Al Zayani in a White House ceremony presided over by President Donald Trump. The event contained a profound sense of history, signalling Israel’s acceptance by two important Arab Gulf nations on the basis of mutual benefits and a shared future – without the hassle of painful bargaining – thanks to the mediation of Trump and his advisers.President Trump who opened the ceremony noted that the lies against Israel fed by hate and fear from generation to generation are no more. He recalled his visit to Saudi Arabia at the start of his presidency when he offered 40 Arab leaders help to achieve peace if they took their fate in their own hands. Whereas Israel lived under the false charge of attacking al Aqsa in the past, the door was now opening for thousands of Muslims to pray at their third most sacred site.Netanyahu who spoke next said that this occasion would have been unimaginable a short time ago. He lavished praise on the US President and his advisers for bringing about this “enormous blessing” for Israel on the eve of the Jewish New Year and the promise of “the ultimate end of the Arab-Israeli conflict once and for all.”Peace between our peoples – not just their leaders – will benefit all our citizens, Netanyahu said.“Together we will combat the coronavirus and benefit the entire region and beyond. The prime minister concluded: “Let is pause for a moment and feel the pulse of history that will endure long after coronavirus is gone.”UAE FM Abdullah Al Nahyan stressed the peace motif in his speech along with co-operation for technological advancement. The Bahrain FM Abdullah Al Zayani called for peace among all nations of the region “regardless of religion, gender and ethnicity” for the sake of security and prosperity. He joined the Emirati foreign minister in calling for recognition of the [Arab] Palestinians’ rights.Then they all sat down to sign the two documents in English, Hebrew and Arabic: the Peace Treaty with the UAE and the declaration of peace with the Kingdom of Bahrain. Neither text has so far been released to the public.THE REACTIONS to this so-called ABRAHAM ACCORD has been many. Some see the good side … it is a big move towards peace in the Middle East. The Iranians and Palestinians are deadly apposed – threatening the UAE as well as Israel. Even Bahrain will be threatened by its Iranian-backed Shite majority. Threats are already being made.Some Christian commentators see the accord as an affront to God’s warning of judgment because of dividing His land. (Joel 3:2).

Some see this accord could be the Treaty signed by the Antichrist. But the Antichrist will not appear until after the Lord’s people are caught up to their heavenly home. And besides, the Antichrist deal with many people or nations, is most likely be the result of the peace Antichrist will achieve at the end of a major Middle East war. It is obviously that peace deal that is described in 1 Thessalonians 5:3:

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

Keep on the alert; the current events in the Middle East are leading up to the Tribulation. But all true born again children of God must be out of here before that!

TEHRAN THREATENS THE UAE OVER ITS DEAL WITH ISRAEL

SEPT 9, 2020. An Iranian official Hossein Amir Abdollahian has warned that the UAE will also bear the brunt of Iran’s retaliation for “any incident – covert or overt” carried out by the Zionists that is detrimental to Iran’s security and stability. “The big mistake committed by the UAE is establishing relations with the cancer of the region, the Zionist entity… is not in the best interest of the Emiratis.

UAE REPLIES: WE ARE NOT TRAITORS; PALESTINIAN LEADERS ARE CORRUPT

By Khaled Abu Toameh.Sept. 1, 2020 at 5:00 amThe main message the Emiratis and other Gulf citizens are sending to the Palestinians and the rest of the Arabs and Muslims is something to the effect of: "We did not betray anyone. We have a wise leader who has decided to do what is good for his country, the Palestinians and all Arabs and Muslims.You Palestinians need to get rid of your corrupt leaders." "It is time for this region to enjoy peace, stability and development," Al Kaabi remarked. "Over the past decades, conflicts and tension have ravaged the region and many opportunities have been lost in order to find the right path that leads people to a prosperous life, and makes hope possible." — Hamad Al Kaabi, editor of the Abu Dhabi-based Al-Ittihad newspaper, August

14, 2020."I was against Israel, but today I'm not. Time has shown us who the real friend is and who is the enemy." — Emirati social media user, August 17, 2020.The reactions of the Emiratis to the Palestinian campaign of incitement against the UAE is another sign of the growing disillusionment of many Gulf citizens with the Palestinian leaders and the Palestinian issue. The reactions also show that for the first time in many years, Arabs have the courage to say openly, that they prefer peace with Israel over continuing to support the Palestinians, who cannot get their act together and have chosen to align

themselves with Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood and the enemies of peace and stability.The reactions of the Emiratis to the Palestinian campaign of incitement against the United Arab Emirates is another sign of the growing disillusionment of many Gulf citizens with the Palestinian leaders and the Palestinian issue. As Palestinian leaders continue to condemn the United Arab Emirates for its agreement to normalize relations with Israel, Emiratis have responded by dismissing charges that the UAE betrayed the Arabs and Muslims, as well as Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem and the Palestinian issue.

U.S. OMAN DISCUSS WAYS TO STRENGTHEN SECURITY & ECONOMIC TIES

REFUSED TO CONDEMN ISRAEL-UAE DEALSenior official says foreign ministers were not in agreement on the Palestinian issue, after PA foreign minister criticizes body for failure to show unity in backing its cause.— 9 SEPT 2020. By Aaron BoxermanA banner showing the flags of Arab countries and reading "History will only glorify those loyal to Palestine" is seen during a rally against the UAE-Israel normalization deal, in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on September 9, 2020. The Arab League failed to pass a resolution on Wednesday proposed by the Palestinian Authority which would have condemned the normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. “After a three-hour debate, some Arab countries refused to include a statement condemning the UAE, for abandoning Arab decisions. Additionally, they struck out a clause which discussed the trilateral agreement” between the UAE, US, and Israel, Palestinian Authority Representative to the Arab League Muhannad al-Aklouk told Ma’an News.

CAN THE U.S. RECOVER FROM ITS ECONOMIC & SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES?

With an unprecedented pandemic sweeping across the, nearly 200,000 COVID deaths, millions of people unemployed, urban rioting, spiking racial, surging murder rates and widespread lawlessness, many Americans are fearful about the future of their country.A recentpoll found that 8-in-10 Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Even more sobering, apoll conducted by Georgetown University found that the average American voter believes the country is on “the edge of civil war.”In that context, dozens of Evangelical churches in the Midwest held a nationally broadcast event on Saturday, Sept. 19, calling for spiritual revival and a national Great Awakening.

THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR THE MOST CHAOTIC ELECTION IN U.S. HISTORY

SEPT 22, 2020. If you are deeply concerned about what is going to happen in November, you are definitely not alone.Experts on both sides of the political spectrum have been warning that it is very likely that we will not know the winner of the presidential election until well after November 3rd, and everyone pretty much agrees that the period of uncertainly that we will be forced to endure, will not be good for the USA, and the world.CYBER ATTACKS FROM CHINA, IRAN, RUSSIA, TARGET U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Microsoft reported that it has detected an increase in cyberattacks related to the November presidential election, coming from China, Iran and Russia.

WORLD EVENTS ARE LINING UPThe Bible has outlined all the “things to come,” in great detail and they are shaping up: Global government has to form, and it is in the process. All

governments will become more authoritarian along the way! With the new CDC report, that just 6% of Covid deaths are directly attributed to the virus, the "pandemic" was but the crisis the globalists couldn’t let go to waste.

God is sending a final warning to a sinful world.Regarding the Church, God is shaking us

up, trying to wake us up, so we will look up! There is a Tribulation stage-setting going on such as today's lawlessness -- a precursor of what is to come when the Church has gone. We are in the predicted last days’ perilous times (2 Timothy 3). America is going to lose international power so that the European power players can arise.· Politics are important but they won’t save America. Government will be quite dysfunctional until Jesus rules from Jerusalem. Only a nation “under God” can be blessed, but the US has one political party that is at war with God. And they want their government to be god.There are terrible consequences when a nation goes astray and succumbs to a “Romans chapter one mentality.” The Church is still here at present to put a lid on total chaos, and some delusion as well. Just wait until we are gone ! !

THE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION OF 2020 IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS

There are so many people out there who want to believe that the future is going to be exceedingly bright, and even though 2020 has been a horrific economic catastrophe so far, there are a lot of optimists that believe that it is just a temporary blip on the road to tremendous prosperity. It would actually be wonderful if they were right. But they aren’t. At this point, everyone should be able to clearly see that we have entered a new economic depression.And I wish I could tell you that a “recovery” was right around the corner, but I can’t. — Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse

THE CASHLESS SOCIETY:COVID 19 has accelerated this reality, but the banking system has been working towards this for a long time. During the 2020 June quarter alone, the Australian Payments network recorded the removal of 2150 ATM’s, while the big four banks closed another 175 branches in the past year. The latest RBA Data showed in June the number of cash withdrawals compared to 12 months ago had dropped by 33%. Cash is on the way out along with your freedom, the New World Order of Antichrist is fast approaching.

ERITREA RELEASING DOZENS OF CHRISTIANS FROM TOUGH PRISONS

Eritrea has released dozens of Christians, many of whom spent a decade behind bars for their faith in Christ, well-informed rights activists say.

A WORD FITLY SPOKENA pastor has sent us this e-mail: “We don’t live in uncertain times. Not at all! These times are as certain as any time in all of human history, and the God of the universe laid out this time in great detail, point by point, and in fact, with all the detail needed by His people to live in times of absolute certainty! So no, there’s nothing uncertain about the times we live in, to the believer who is seeking to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

THESE ARE THE MOST CERTAIN TIMES IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY!

WHY ARE THE PULPITS STILL SILENT?By Geoffrey Grider, Florida. Now the End Begins.

Data shows Americans have been fleeing to states with more open space such as Vermont, Idaho and Oregon as they opted to relocate amid the COVID-19 pandemic.In fact, everything is falling into place. Stay cool. Look up. The King is coming. It may be today! And you can't throw a blanket of darkness over anyone with an eternal perspective. Current events are taking on great meaning now. A recent report reveals that a “vast majority of pastors do see end times in our current events.” But are they talking about this from their pulpits and re-assuring their people? I do not think so. Are they sharing about our glorious future, giving assurance to people? How about talking about the “blessed hope” (that’s assurance) now that hope in the world is fading?

I am not optimistic that they are! Rather, are they telling people that they can have their best life now? Hasn’t that all been proven to be a lie?Are they giving some end-time warnings? A whopping 97% of those polled by LifeWay Research, believe Jesus Christ will literally and personally return to earth again, and 55% expect Jesus to return in their lifetime. This makes for tremendous sermon material! It could calm the mind and soul in troubled times.

PASTORS, PLEASE DON’T BE SILENT!

Some people are losing things precious to them: businesses, jobs, even lives or the lives of loved ones. Depression and suicides are at all-time highs. Are they, then, re-assuring their people as my pastor friend did? Let me quote him again. He said, “We don’t live in uncertain times. Not at all! These times are as certain as any time in all of human history, and the God of the universe has laid out this time in great detail, point by point, and in fact, with all the details needed by His people to live in times of absolute certainty. . . .” Recently a secular talk show host said that, "A blanket of darkness has been thrown over us." But the believer cannot and must not think that way! An opportunity has been handed to us! Desperate people are more inclined to listen. Things really aren’t falling apart. In fact, they are orchestrated. To suggest something is falling apart is to say they are out of God’s control. Nothing could be further from the truth as it concerns the last days.It’s just that your average Christian does not know the road map through the final days even though the Bible spends almost one-third of its pages talking about the end times!

ENRICHED URANIUMN STORE IN IRAN NOW EXCEEDS 10 TIMES THE SET LIMIT, PUTTING THEM ONLY 3.5 MONTHS AWAY

FROM TWO FUNCTIONAL NUCLEAR BOMBS.

Nuclear experts predict that Iran is now just 3.5 months away from the 'breakout time' a measurement of how close the country is to having the technology and materials to construct a nuclear weapon. It also now has the fuel to potentially construct two separate bombs.As if this year wasn't crazy enough, now Iran has such an abundance of enriched uranium that watchdog agencies say they are only 3.5 months away from a nuclear bomb. Make that two nuclear bombs. Remember that agreement Iran signed with Russia back in 2014 to build the nuclear power plants? That investment is about to pay dividends big time.

I don't know where Emmanuel Macron will fit into all this, but should Iran achieve its goal, I know he will fit in somewhere. And, now you know why Israel took all those strikes at Iran over the past two months.

"And now will I shew you the truth. Look! there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth will be far richer thanthem all: and by his strength and through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia." (Daniel 11:2)

THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IS

ESCALATING DRAMATICALLY

ALL OVER THE WORLD

By Michael Snyder/End of the American Dream. September 14, 2020

All over the globe, thousands upon thousands of Christians are being ruthlessly killed, simply because of what they believe. But if you rely on corporate-controlled media sources for your news, you literally never hear about this relentless persecution.

In fact, for this article, I don't link to a single mainstream news source. I went to Christian news websites to document what I am about to share with you, because the mainstream media avoids stories such as these like the plague.Of course if innocent people were being systematically butchered for a reason that aligned with the various agendas that they are constantly pushing, the mainstream media would be all over this.It greatly upsets me that the deaths of Christians are treated as if they don't really matter, and we continue to see the global persecution of Christians escalate year after year.For example, just take a look at what is happening in Ethiopia.Extremists have been conducting a door-to-door campaign as they search for Christians to kill ...At least 500 Christians have been killed in an ongoing spate of co-ordinated door-to-door attacks and thousands of traumatized survivors have fled for their lives over the last two months in southern Ethiopia's Oromia regional state, including its capital Addis Ababa, according to reports.For most of you, this is probably the very first time that you have ever heard about this.This just shows the power of the mainstream media.If they don't talk about it, then most of the population will never even know that it exists.But we should be talking about it, because what is taking place is absolutely horrifying.In some instances, Christian parents are literally being slaughtered in front of their children..."The Qeerroo extremists arrived in cars and, armed with guns, machetes, swords and spears, sought out and slaughtered Christians. Children were forced to witness their parents being brutally murdered with machetes," it added.An Oromo Christian was beheaded after he refused to tear off the thread around his neck, which is worn by many Ethiopian Christians as a sign of their baptism. The attackers told his wife that only those who prostrate before Allah for prayer are considered part of the Oromo community.This should be one of the greatest human rights causes of our day, but the silence coming from the mainstream media is deafening.

BLM TERRORISTS IN WASHINGTON CALL FOR POLICE EXECUTIONS TO BEGIN,

SAYING THAT “COPS NEED TO BE KILLED FOR JUSTICE.”

A Black Lives Matter protester, yelling through a megaphone, informed a group of police officers that they are “criminals” and “murderers” during Wednesday night’s protests in the nation’s capital, while another assessed

that cops “need to start being killed like y’all kill us.”As BLM terrorists grow bolder and bolder, their calls for killing of cops to begin gets louder and louder. Truly these people have the spirit of the lawless Antichrist, as they seek to do the will of their father, the Devil. Black Lives Matter as an organization is a terrific stain upon this nation, amounting to nothing more than a black version of the KKK, certainly their tactics are remarkably similar. - By Geoffrey Grider/Florida US.

"You are ofyour father the devil, and the lusts of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

“For men will be lovers of self ...unloving … without self–control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited….” (2 Timothy 3;2-4)

BLACK CHRISTIAN LIVES APPARENTLY DO NOT MATTER

SEPT 6, 2020. In Nigeria, over the past 20 years, 100,000 Christians have been killed Nigeria is becoming the "biggest killing ground of Christians in the world". Nigeria, already the most populous African country, could have a population of about 800 million people by the end of the century, according to a study by The Lancet, and could become the ninth largest economy in the world. How many could be saved if the media, the chancelleries and international organizations had put pressure on the Nigerian leadership to protect its Christians? Why has the West never linked trade, diplomatic, military and political exchanges with Nigeria to protecting its Christians? US President Donald Trump, in 2018, raised the issue with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. "We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria", Trump told him. President Trump, however, is almost alone among Western leaders to raise the issue. When his predecessor, President Barack Obama, met with Buhari, he never talked about the murders of Christians. In Iran: the growth of Iranian Christian believers is approaching 1 million. A new survey on the growth of Christianity suggests there could soon be 1 million Iranian Christians living in the Islamic Republic itself, CBN News reports. Carried out by the non-profit Group for Analysing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran (GAMAAN), the survey questioned 50,000 Iranians, 90% of whom live in the country.

The survey showed that 1.5% of respondents identified as Christian.

WHEN PERSECUTION COMES,? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

WILL YOU STAND AND PREACH JESUS CHRIST,OR WILL YOU TURN AND RUN THE OTHER?

We live in a day and age here in 2020 when the murder of Christians in America is about to break out, and I want to do my best as a minister of the gospel of the grace of God to get you ready for that day.Street preacher Sam Bethea in Charlotte, North Carolina, got a taste of that last night as he opened his mouth to proclaim salvation in Jesus Christ, only to receive the demonic ire of the Black Lives Matter rioters. Side note, street preacher Sam is a black man, just not one of those blacks whose life seems to matter to the BLM terrorists. Sam didn't run, he stood his ground and preached Jesus Christ. How will you fare when it's your turn to bat? That's the question here tonight on Rightly Dividing.

"And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:22-24)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are looking at what your Bible has to say about how the apostles handled persecution in their day, along with instructions for us here at the end of the Church Age. I have long said that even though we are removed in the Pretribulation Rapture before the start of the time of Jacob's trouble, we certainly won't get out of here untouched. The current riots being conducted by ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter terrorists are very much anti-God and anti-Christian.Nearly all the apostles were persecuted unto the death, John the Baptist was just plain, old-fashioned executed, thousands of Christians went to the deaths at the hands of old mother Rome. The Roman Catholic Church even went so far as to burn Christians at the stake for such crimes like reading the Bible for themselves, and trusting in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. We live in a day and age here in 2020, when the murder of Christians in America is about to break out, and I want to do my best as a minister of the gospel of the grace of God to get you ready for that day. That day is coming, and indeed, is nigh upon us. - by Geoffrey Grider

BELIEVERS ARE IN

THE CENTRE OF THE STORM

So many write to me expressing shock, and even horror, at the tide of our times here in 2020. They see America crumbling under the weight of sin, debt, violence, immorality, and strong delusion. Right is wrong, black is white, evil is good, and good is evil. And it is happening in many countries around the world. People of faith are the bulls-eye so to speak! Churches are inconvenient. The remnant of true believers is growing smaller while the Laodicea churches are mushrooming! Many churches have not even re-opened yet, and some are saying they won’t until 2021!Many don’t even know how to think about the future much less plan for it. People write about “uncertainty”. Will things get worse? Probably.How can we plan ahead if the turmoil is going to continue?

“ Be steadfast and do not fear.” (Job 11:15)

WHY ARE THERE MULTITUDES OF DISASTERS AROUND THE WORLD?

A distraught elderly woman recently asked, “If there is a God, why doesn’t He do something about all the terrible things that are happening around the world today?”We reply: There is a God, and He is a so loving God, and He does not want anyone to perish. It is clear in the Word God has given to us.

"For YHWH, the Almighty God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten,( His one and-only, unique, eternal) Son, so that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal (everlasting) life." (John 3:16)

At the beginning, when the first man and his wife were created, they were placed in the glorious environment God created for the human race – Paradise. And they were warned not to partake of the knowledge of “good and evil. They were warned that if they partook of the evil fruit, they would die.All went well until the time came when Satan, a rebellious fallen angel of God, deceived Adam and Eve, and persuaded them to take and eat the forbidden fruit. Immediately they knew they were guilty, and they tried to hide from God. That very day they died – not physically but spiritually – their spirit died.God did not wipe them out, but rather He came to them, showed them their sin, and brought them to repentance, and then renewed the fellowship between Him and them.

But tragically, the fallen sinful nature they now possessed, was passed on to their descendants.

“Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, for all have sinned.” (Romans 5:12)

God could have destroyed the human race before it multiplied, with the flick of His finger.. But no! He still loved mankind, and He had an eternal plan to deliver people from the mess they had made. Another point to reflect on … Almighty God could do everything and anything, except sin. He could have taken away man’s freewill, and transform every person on earth into obedient “angels.” But God did not plan to have billions of robots on earth. He planned for a vast family of children who would love His righteousness and eternal fellowship. He was entirely able to provide a way of life and righteousness that His children would gladly and willingly embrace.He is, moreover, able to change a world of rebels into a kingdom of loving and obedient children, but there was a cost. And the Heavenly Father, Himself, was willing to pay the cost of redeeming sinners and turning them into ultimately perfected spiritual beings. That cost involved the sacrifice of the Father’s one and only, eternal Son, Y’shua/Jesus. Paul explained the good news:

“Now brethren, I again declare to you the Good News which I have already preached to you - the Good News which you have received, and on which you take your stand; by which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the words that I preached as Good News to you - unless you believed in vain.“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance, that the Messiah (Y’shua/Jesus) died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared alive to Cephas (Peter), then to the twelve disciples.” (1 Cor 15:1-5)“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in the Messiah, Y'shua our Master.” (Romans 6:23)

Y’shua the Messiah paid the wages, the penalty, for the sin of the whole world. And now redemption, salvation, and new life is available to all who hear and believe His promise.

"For YHWH, the Almighty God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten, His one-and-only, unique, eternal Son, so that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal (everlasting) life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world; but so that the world might be saved through Him.“He who believes in Him is not condemned; he who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of

the only begotten, His one-and-only unique, eternal Son of God.” (John 3:16-18)“To all who received Him, to those who believe in His Name, Y'shua/Jesus, He gave the right to become children of God; children born, not of blood (of natural descent), nor of the will of the flesh (human decision), nor of the will of man (a natural father), but of (YHWH, (Yahweh) the Almighty) God.” (John 1:12-13)

We all need to be saved, delivered, because we have all sinned.God has proved His love by sending His beloved Son, Jesus Christ/Yeshua, to this world, to redeem, deliver and save all who call on His Name in faith.To receive Jesus as one’s personal Saviour by simple faith in what He has done, is to become a true child of God.We are not perfected immediately, but we do begin a new life in fellowship with God, and with the Saviour He has provided for us.But the multitude of evil disasters around the world, are the result of widespread rebellion and rejection of God’s love and His anointed Son – the Saviour.My dear reader, make sure you are on the right side. If you have never received Jesus as your personal Saviour, I pray you will do it today. Here is a small prayer to help you express your decision. Read the prayer, and if you want to make this decision, then pray – simply talk to God – He is listening, and will make you His child if you really want to be His child. The decision is yours.If you say, “Yes, I want to be saved,” then let me show you the ABC about receiving the gift of God which is, forgiveness, everlasting salvation; and eternal life. There are three steps.ACKNOWLEDGE that you are a sinner and need the mercy of GOD, and ASK Him to forgive all your sins.BELIEVE in your heart and mind that Jesus/Y’shua, the Son of God, came to the earth, and was crucified on the cross in your place; and that He rose again, and is waiting to be your living and eternal Saviour.CALL upon Him while He is near. Pray (talk) to Him expressing your faith in the Lord Jesus, the loving Saviour who has already paid your death penalty, and who is now listening and waiting for your response.

“CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR.” (Isaiah 55:6)My dear reader, if you have never received the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, or if you are not sure that you have been saved, just talk to Him right now, in simple words, thanking Him for the great sacrifice He made for you.Express your faith in Jesus, and receive Him as your personal Saviour today! Tell the Saviour about your concerns and express your love and faith in Him.He is listening and waiting for your response to Him.

If you are still not sure how to pray, here is a prayer that may help you to express your desire to be saved.

A PRAYER FOR SALVATION“Heavenly Father, I come to you just as I am. Be merciful to me, a sinner. As I have come to know and believe that the Lord Jesus has already paid the penalty of my sins, I am now asking You to forgive me, and to make me Your true child, and Your faithful follower.“Lord Jesus, thank You for paying the penalty that was due to me. I believe You are the eternal Son of God, and that You are willing to be my living Saviour from this day on. Now I believe and I trust in You, and I humbly receive YOUR FREE GIFT of eternal life, right here and now. I commit my whole life to You, and I ask You to take me under Your wings, and make me a new person. Lead me in the days ahead and make me what You want me to be.“Thank You, my Heavenly Father; thank You, Lord Jesus, my Saviour, for Your love and wonderful salvation. Amen! Praise to my Almighty God. Thank You so much. Amen.” If this is your decision , please drop us a line (address on cover, and we will send you a booklet – “Lessons for New Believers,” to help you in your new life.
