Young & Old Turn to the Living God

-
Janine - a member of the Good News cast came up to me smiling: "My Grannie got saved!" This was in addition to others who made a decision to follow Jesus on Saturday Night. One little girl gave her heart to the Lord and prayed with me. Jesus is alive and well and healing the brokenhearted today. We can just praise God for a wonderful run and for confirming His Word with signs and wonders following. Rudie Faurie - who played a lead role in the play, the Camera Man for Stella the reporter - operated in the gifts of the Spirit and had a word of knowledge for someone with severe pains in the left side of the brain, an elderly lady came forward and he prayed for her, she started to shiver and experienced the power of God! We look forward to following up possible shows next year Lord willing, in Durbanville, Mannenberg and some High Schools in Cape Town where there are so many more souls to reach with the Gospel of the Kingdom.
In apostle Andre's Tract entitled "Turn to the living God" people are encourage to follow some simple steps to salvation:

Turn to the Living God
Here are five reasons to turn to the Living God
1.     It was preached to us
‘Turn from these vain things (idols) to the living God who made heaven, the earth, the sea and all things that are in them, who in ancient days allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.’ (Acts 14:15)
2.     God has spoken to us
But God has in these last days spoken to us by His Son (Jesus Christ) whom He has appointed heir of all things through whom He also made the worlds, being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His Person, upholding all things by the word of his power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:2, 3)
3.     Christ redeemed us
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13, 14)
4.     He is the Image of God to us
He (Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (Colossians 1:15)
5.     God loves us
Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. (Matthew 16:16) For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son (as our substitute) that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
TAKE THESE THREE STEPS TO TURN TO THE LIVING GOD
1.     Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9, 10)
2.     Repent of your sins and be baptised (immersed) in water. (Acts 2:38)
3.     Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (by faith). (Acts 2:38) The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth and show you things to come. (John 16:13)
TURN TO THE LIVING GOD TODAY!
As the Holy Spirit says, ‘Today if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.’ (Hebrews 3:7,8) Behold NOW is the accepted time; behold NOW is the day of salvation. (II Corinthians 6:2) (All quotes taken from The Holy Bible)

5 Lessons I learnt from an Artist to Navigate through Chaos

  By Aje Pelser   Marc Chagall lived through two world wars, survived persecution as a Jew, was exiled and experienced the Bolshevik revolution with his wife and daughter. While meditating on the visions I have seen of angels ministering to people in our church, I wondered how to visually capture the images. I was drawn to a book on Chagall. Studying art history has opened up the story behind the works, and revealed the context of the artist’s life. I learnt five things about navigating through chaos using your gifts and talents through a complex network of valuable connections. 1.        He loved his wife and family. Perhaps his greatest early struggle was for recognition as an artist, to show his family and his in-laws that he could take care of his beloved Bella. He loved her dearly and she became the subject of his greatest works including his wedding gift: “The Birthday” where he portrays himself swooping through the air to kiss h...

  Abundance for Every Good Work A good news message for your provision and abundant living in Christ. By Apostle Aje Pelser   Trigger Verse Here is the key verse of Scripture that triggered my fresh understanding of abundance: 2Co 9:8  "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." The concept of abundance can be confusing. If you think in terms of abundance, that it has storehouses full of everything all the time, it will frustrate you when that is not the case. If you shift your understanding of abundance towards the enabling force of abundance to do every good work God has called you to do, then it is a liberating concept. Stop feeling guilty that you don’t have storehouses full of grain.   Have you read the ‘Parable of the Rich Fool?’ Luk 12:13-21  Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." “But H...

Once in a Blue Moon

 Once in a Blue Moon When the moon is closest to the earth in orbit, it is called a perigee, and the moon therefore appears thirty percent larger than usual. The Christian calendar depends on the phases of the moon to determine Easter or the Paschal Moon, as well as the Lenten moon. In our unique South African context, load shedding coincided with the most wonderful view of our moon on the evening of the 31st of August. Our section of the city had a blackout and thus the moon became the best entertainment on a winter’s night. We went outside and gazed up. Apparently, Saturn was also very close to the moon, although you needed a telescope to see it. A clever astronomer who had the camera lenses and telescopic attachments, managed to snap a photo of the event. Why is it blue? The apparent blue tinge of the moon could be atmospheric effects of water vapour but could also reflect some of the terrace elements of titanium oxide and iron on the moon itself, being made up of similar ...
