MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - ALHAMISI - 18 APRILI, 2024
Siku zote kumbuka, tutachukiwa (BWANA alituambia), lakini bila kujali wewe ni lazima tuwe wakristo watu wazima - fanya haki, fikiria sawa na itatoka sawa - kuna wakati utakuja ambao wale wanaokuchukia watahitaji. wewe. Watakumbuka walichofanya, na ulichofanya na jinsi ulivyowatendea, kwa hivyo acha maoni yetu yawe sawa. Daima fanya haki, na hatuwezi kufanya sawa ikiwa hatufikiri sawa. Na ikiwa hatufikirii mambo sawa kamwe hayatatoka sawa, isipokuwa kwa neema ya Mungu bila shaka.
Yesu aliwasamehe wale waliomchukia pale msalabani. Je, wote walienda mbinguni kwa sababu hiyo? Bila shaka sivyo, lakini kungekuwa na baadhi ambayo yangepewa isipokuwa baadaye au kwa njia fulani kupewa uhai, kwa sababu fulani zaidi ya ufahamu wetu.
Ndiyo maana ni lazima tutambue na kuuthamini mwili wa BWANA duniani - na tusihukumu vibaya. Wengi watakuhukumu vibaya, lakini tusiwe na hatia sawa. Hatujui, kinachomsukuma mtu kukosea na kutuumiza na kutufanyia ukatili, sio Roho wa Mungu. Imesemwa, "Ni afadhali kuwa na wema wa kindugu kanisani, na nisiwe na Karama zilizopo (kuzungumza juu ya karama za nguvu zisizo za kawaida)."
Hili lilikuwa somo la ibada yetu ya Jumatano usiku yenye kichwa "Kutambua na Kuthamini Mwili wa Bwana." Imehifadhiwa - www.livingwordtabernacle.com

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - APRIL 18, 2024

Always remember, we will be hated (the LORD told us), but regardless you we must be a grown up Christian - do right, think right and it will come out right - there will be a time come that those that hate you will need you. They will remember what they done, and what you done and how you treated them, therefore let our reactions be right. Always do right, and we can't do right if we don't think right. And if we don't think right things will never come out right, except by the grace of God of course.

Jesus forgave those that hated him at the cross. Did they all go to heaven because of that? Of course not, but there would be some that would except it later or in some way be given life, for some reason beyond our understanding.

That is why we must recognize and appreciate the LORD'S body on earth - and not judge wrong. Many will judge you wrong, but let us not be guilty of the same. We don't know, what is motivating a person to be wrong and to hurt us and be cruel to us, it is not the Spirit of God. It has been said, "I'd rather have brotherly kindness in the church, and have no Gifts present (speaking of supernatural gifts)."

Nilipoamka asubuhi hii bado giza lilikuwa nje. Niliinuka na kuketi sebuleni nyumbani kwetu, nikitazama maandishi niliyotaka kuzungumza usiku wa leo katika ibada yetu ya Jumatano jioni. Bila kuwasha, sikuweza kuona maandishi yangu ili kuyasoma. Hata hivyo, JUA lilipochomoza, sikuhitaji mwanga mwingine wowote, JUA lilitosha kuona chochote nilichohitaji kuona. Giza lililazimika kukimbia, likaenda mahali fulani, lakini halikuweza kukaa wakati mwangaza wa JUA ulipokuwepo.

Kuna ulinganisho wa kiroho. MWANA wa MUNGU akiwepo hakuna nuru nyingine inayohitajika. Kuikataa nuru hiyo ni kutembea gizani. Mtu angewezaje, kutaka kutembea gizani, wakati nuru ya Injili inang'aa sana kutuongoza maishani. Inaweza kuwa tu ikiwa matendo yao ni maovu, ambayo ni mabaya, yanapendelea giza. Ndiyo maana sisi ni wana wa nuru. Kila lililo baya linadhihirishwa na nuru na lile lililo baya, hata lionekane la kiroho kiasi gani, litaichukia nuru iliyo ndani yako. Kwa nini? Inaonyesha kile giza limejificha ndani yao.

Inashangaza kwangu, wakati Yesu Kristo, Masihi aliyekuwa akingojewa kwa muda mrefu alipokuja kwa Wayahudi wa kidini sana. Walisoma maandiko, walikuwa na Walimu wakuu na wa Rabi, lakini Nuru ilipokuja iliwaonyesha jinsi walivyokuwa. Walikuwa na giza nyingi sana hawakuweza kuona mwanga. Hii inaonekana ya kushangaza lakini ni kweli. Na leo ni kweli pia kwa wengi wanaosema wanaamini na wanatembea gizani; Yohana 1:5 Nayo nuru yang'aa gizani; wala giza halikuiweza.
Napenda wimbo; “Tutatembea katika Nuru, ile nuru nzuri…” Unapotembea katika Nuru Yake, wengine wote hufifia.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - APRIL 17, 2024

As I awoke this morning it was still dark outside. I arose and was setting in the living room of our home, looking over some notes I wanted to speak on tonight in our Wednesday evening service. Without a light on I could hardly see my notes to read them. However, when the SUN came up, I did not need any other light, the SUN was enough to see whatever I needed to see. Darkness had to flee, it went somewhere, but could not stay when the brightness of the SUN was present.

There is a spiritual comparison. When the SON of GOD is present, there is no other light that is needed. To reject that light is to walk in darkness. How could anyone, want to walk in darkness, when the light of the Gospel is so bright to lead us in life. It could only be if their deeds are evil, that which is bad, prefers the darkness. That is why we are children of the light. Everything that is wrong is made manifest by the light and that which is wrong, no matter how spiritual it may seem, will hate the light that is in you. Why? It shows up what the darkness is hiding in them.

It is astounding to me, when Jesus Christ, the long awaited Messiah came to the very religious Jews. They read the scriptures, had great Teachers and Rabbi's, but when the Light came it showed them up for what they really were. They had so much darkness they could not see the light. This seems incredible but it is true. And today it is also true for many that say they believe and walk in darkness; John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

I love the song; "We'll walk in the Light, the beautiful light..." When you walk in His Light, all other lights fade away.

Mungu yuko wapi katika hili? Watu huuliza swali hili mara nyingi. Mungu yuko, katikati ya masikitiko na shida zako kuu. Hata katika makosa yako, Yeye yupo.

Baba wa Taifa Ayubu alijua hili katikati ya magumu makubwa ambayo mtu anaweza kupitia; “Angetia nguvu ndani yangu,” au kunizingatia, kama tafsiri moja inavyosema. Mungu hakuwa mwanzilishi wa matatizo yake, lakini aliwaruhusu, kwa hiyo, Mungu angejua, angezingatia, na kuwa hapo kila hatua ya njia ambayo Ayubu angepitia.

Angalia matatizo yake; Watoto wa Ayubu, mke wake, marafiki zake, wale ambao alikuwa wa karibu nao wakawa shida.

Alikuwa ni mtu tajiri, hilo likawa tatizo pale alipopoteza vyote alivyokuwa navyo, maana hata ulivyo navyo ni vya muda na unaweza kuvipoteza.

Msimamo wake, akiwa mtu mashuhuri miongoni mwa watu, ukawa tatizo, Mungu alipomruhusu kuketi juu ya lundo la majivu bila kuonekana kwa ukuu, kana kwamba Mungu amemwacha.

Mungu alikuwa papo hapo pamoja naye katika hayo yote, akimthibitisha Shetani kuwa amekosea. Ayubu hakumtumikia BWANA kwa sababu kila kitu kilikwenda kwa upendeleo wake, naye alibarikiwa sana kuliko wengine. Imani yake ilisimama imara alipopoteza vitu hivyo vyote, Ayubu 1:22 "Ayubu hakutenda dhambi, wala hakumwazia Mungu kwa upumbavu." Imani yake kwa Mungu iliridhika na dhabihu ambazo kila siku alileta kwa imani kwa yule aliyemtumikia na kumuinua, katika magumu yake yote.

Bila kujali, alifanya jambo sahihi mara kwa mara, alifikiri mawazo sahihi na mwishowe, kila kitu kilikuwa sawa.

Daima fanya jambo sahihi, wakati mwingine ni vigumu sana, na watu watashangaa kwa nini? Lakini Mungu atakuwepo daima.

Daima fanya haki, wajibu wako kwa Mungu; fikiri vyema, hilo ni jukumu lako kwako mwenyewe; nawe huna budi kutoka sawasawa. - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - APRIL 16, 2024

Where is God in this? People ask this question often. God is there, in the middle of your greatest disappointments and problems. Even in your mistakes, He is there.

The Patriarch Job knew this in the midst of the greatest difficulties a person could go through; "He would put strength in me," or take note of me, as one translation puts it. God was not the author of his problems, but allowed them, therefore, God would know, take note of, and be there every step of the way in which Job would go.

Look at his problems; Job's children, his wife, his friends, those whom he was the closes too became a problem.

He was a wealthy man, that became a problem when he lost all that he possessed, because no matter what you have, it is temporary and you can lose it.

His standing, as a great man among the people became a problem, when God allowed him to sit on an ash-heap with no appearance of greatness, as if God had forsaken him.

God was right there with him through it all, proving Satan wrong. Job did not serve the LORD because everything went in his favor, and he was blessed abundantly more than others. His faith held steady when he lost all of those things, Job 1:22 "Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." His faith in God was satisfied by the sacrifices that he daily brought in faith to the one he served and held him up, through all his difficulties.

Regardless, he did the right thing continually, thought the right thoughts and in the end, everything turned out right.

Always do the right thing, sometimes it is very difficult, and people will wonder why? But God will always be there.

"Always do right, your duty to God; think right, that's your duty to yourself; and you've got to come out right." - William Branham

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATATU - 15 APRILI, 2024
Israel inaendelea kuwa kwenye habari. Kama watu kuna ulinganisho kwao kama taifa na sisi kama waumini, Bibi-arusi. Ulimwengu utakuchukia na kuwa dhidi yako, kwa sababu si nyingine isipokuwa kuzaliwa kwako katika Kristo.
Yohana 15:19 Kama mngekuwa wa ulimwengu, ulimwengu ungewapenda walio wake;

Ulimwengu unapinga Israeli, tunajua hili kutokana na unabii wa Biblia, yeye ni kalenda yetu ya matukio ya wakati wa mwisho. Tunachopaswa kufanya ni kuangalia kile kinachotokea kwa Israeli kama Taifa, taifa kati ya mataifa ambayo Mungu amechagua kwa makusudi yake. Maandiko yanatuambia kwamba Mungu atawabariki wale wanaowabariki Israeli na kuwalaani wale ambao sio tofauti (Mwanzo 12). Wako chini ya agano tofauti kisha kanisa la Kikristo. Wataokolewa kama taifa, wateule 144,000 kulingana na maandiko (Warumi 11:26,29, Ufunuo 7:4:8).

Kama watu na taifa, wamechukiwa, wameuawa na kuteswa kwa kila njia inayoweza kuwaziwa, katika kipindi cha miaka 2000 iliyopita, kwa sababu wao ni Wayahudi. Na bado umekuwa mkono mwororo wa Yehova, akiruhusu mambo haya, ili kuwarudisha katika nchi yao na upatanisho walioukataa.
Hata hivyo, ulinganisho na sisi - ni roho ile ile ya chuki ya ulimwengu huu, iliyoachiliwa juu ya Bibi-arusi wa Kristo wa wakati wa mwisho katika roho ya Kanisa la kikanisa - roho ya Kimadhehebu. Katika mahubiri yake (William Branham) anaeleza vizuri - "Kufunguliwa katika roho ya kanisa la kikanisa. Kufunguliwa juu ya nini? Si juu ya madhehebu; juu ya Bibi-arusi! - Sikukuu ya Baragumu.

Sina budi kusema, na natumaini umeelewa; haijawahi kuwa na wakati, katika maisha yangu na huduma, ambapo nimeona msukumo, hata miongoni mwa wale ninaowapenda na kuwastaajabisha, kuwa sehemu ya shirika la wanadamu. Hii yenyewe ndiyo roho ya Kidhehebu, na chapa ya mnyama ( Ufunuo 13:15. Tumeonywa kinabii - Tokeni kwake watu wangu, msishiriki dhambi zake, wala msipokee mapigo yake; Ufunuo 18:4).

Ninashukuru - Ujumbe huu mtukufu ambao ni Kristo peke yake, hauwezi kuwa dhehebu, hakuna kitu cha kufuata kama katika nyakati zilizopita. Hata hivyo, wanaume wenye tamaa ya kimwili daima watajitenga wenyewe, kwa ajili ya ulinzi wa kile wanachotamani kuwa njia sahihi. Tumeonywa, kaa mbali na hilo!

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - APRIL 15, 2024

Israel continues to be in the news. As a people there is a comparison in regards to them as a nation and we as believers, the Bride. The world will hate you and be against you, for no other reason than your birth in Christ.

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

The world is against Israel, we know this from Bible prophecy, she is our calendar of end time events. All we have to do is look what is happening to Israel as a Nation, a nation among nations that God has chose for His purposes. The scriptures tell us that God will bless those that bless Israel and curse those that are otherwise (Genesis 12). They are under a different covenant then the Christian church. They will be saved as a nation, 144,000 elect according to the scriptures (Romans 11:26,29, Revelations 7:4:8).

As a people and a nation, they have been hated, murdered and persecuted in every conceivable way, over the last 2000 years, because they are Jews. And yet it has been the tender hand of Jehovah, allowing these things, in order to bring them back to their homeland and the atonement they rejected.

However, the comparison to us - it is the same spirit of this world's hatred, turned loose upon the end time Bride of Christ in a ecclesiastical Church spirit - a Denominational spirit. In his sermon (William Branham) explains it well - "Loosed in the ecclesiastical church spirit. Loosed upon what? Not upon the denominations; upon the Bride! - Feast of Trumpets

I have to say, and I hope you understand; there has never been a time, in my life and ministry, when I have seen a push, even among those that I love and admire, to be a part of an organization of men. This in itself, is Denomination spirit, and the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15. We have been prophetically warned - Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues (Revelation 18:4).

I am thankful - this glorious Message which is Christ alone, it cannot become a denomination, there is nothing to following as in past ages. However, men with carnal ambitions will always denominate themselves, for the protection of what they desire to be the right way. We have been warned, stay away from that!

UAMINIFU ni sifa iliyopotea - Inaonekana hakuna uaminifu katika chochote, ndoa, familia, na kati ya marafiki. Ninahubiri kuhusu “kanisa langu, mhubiri wangu, n.k.” kwa njia hasi, jinsi watu wanavyotegemea hilo badala ya Kristo kwa wokovu wao wa roho. Hata hivyo, lazima kuwe na UAMINIFU kwa kanisa lako, mahali ulipookoka, na huduma ambayo imekusaidia katika hali zako za kushuka. UAMINIFU kwa Mchungaji aliyewaweka wakfu watoto wako na kutoa maisha na huduma yake kusaidia familia yako kukomaa katika Kristo. Mambo hayo hayapaswi kuachwa kirahisi kwa kitu ambacho unaona kuwa bora au kwa sababu unaona makosa machache.

Uaminifu ni bora kuliko kutokuwa mwaminifu. Uaminifu utakuwa na athari nzuri. Kinyume chake ni kweli. Tunawafundisha watoto wetu kutokuwa waaminifu kwa kusema; "Ikiwa hupendi kitu kuacha, ikiwa mtu anaumiza hisia zako, tafuta rafiki mwingine, na usiwape nafasi ya kuifanya tena." Tunawafundisha; "Ikiwa hupendi kitu usile, tafuta kitu unachopenda. Acha hiki, acha kile, tafuta kitu kingine bora zaidi." Hii inaharibu muundo wa maisha ya kijamii na fadhila ya UAMINIFU. Inajenga tabia ambayo huwezi kumwamini mtu yeyote, huwezi kuaminiwa na kwa hiyo inafanya kuwa vigumu sana kumwamini Mungu.

Matokeo ya mwisho ya kukosa uaminifu si mazuri. Kumbuka - UWAMINIFU ni bora kuliko kukosa uaminifu. Endelea kuamini, fundisha UAMINIFU, hata inapoonekana kuwa ngumu, itaongeza faida katika maisha yako na furaha.

Weka UAMINIFU wako wote katika Kristo ndipo uweze kuwa Mwaminifu katika mambo yote.Ili kupokea WAZO LA KUTIA MOYO kwa barua pepe tafadhali iombe kwa - billivy@livingwordtabernacle.com - tovuti ya kanisa - www.livingwordtabernacle.com

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - APRIL 12, 2024

LOYALTY is a lost virtue – There seems to be no loyalty in anything, marriage, families, and among friends. I preach about “my church, my preacher, etc.” in a negative way, how people depend on that rather than Christ for their soul salvation. However, there must be LOYALTY to your church, where you got saved, and the ministry that has helped you through your ups in downs. A LOYALTY to a Pastor that dedicated your children and gave his life and ministry to help your family mature in Christ. Those things should not be easily forsaken for something you perceive as better or because you see a few faults.

Loyalty is better than disloyalty. Loyalty will have a positive effect. The opposite is true. We teach our children disloyalty by saying; "If you don’t like something quit, if someone hurts your feelings, find another friend, and don’t give them a chance to do it again." We teach them; "If you don’t like something don’t eat it, find something you like. Quit this, quit that, find something else better." This destroys the fabric of social life and the virtue of LOYALTY. It creates an attitude whereby you cannot trust no one, you can’t be trusted and therefore it makes it very difficult to trust God.

The end result of disloyalty is not good. Remember - LOYALTY is better than disloyalty. Keep trusting, teach LOYALTY, even when it seems difficult, it will add dividends to your life and happiness. Put all your LOYALTY in Christ and then you can be Loyal in all things.

Luka 15:8 Au ni mwanamke gani mwenye vipande kumi vya fedha, akipotewa na kipande kimoja, asiyewasha taa na kufagia nyumba, na kuitafuta kwa bidii hata aipate? 9 Naye akiisha kuiona, huwaita rafiki zake na jirani zake, akisema, Furahini pamoja nami; kwa maana nimepata kipande nilichokuwa nimepoteza.

Mwanamke huyu alikuwa mwanamke wa Mashariki na aliwakilisha kanisa. Na bendi yake ya harusi haikuvaliwa kidoleni, ilikuwa imevaliwa kichwani, na vipande kumi vya fedha ndani yake. Ikiwa mwanamke hakuwa mwaminifu kwa mume wake, walitoa kipande kimoja cha fedha ambacho kiliwakilisha uaminifu wake kwake. Mwanamke huyu alipoteza kipande kimoja, na mumewe alikuwa hayupo, na alikuwa akijaribu kutafuta haraka kipande hicho ili kukirudisha kwenye bendi yake ya harusi, kwa sababu mumewe akija angekikuta kimepotea na kudhani amekamatwa katika uzinzi. itamaanisha kuvunja nyumba.

Tunaweza kutumia hili kwa kanisa leo, jinsi walio bora kabisa kati yao wamepoteza vitu vingi sana, na ni wakati wa BWANA kuja. Kuna haja ya kusafisha na kutafuta kile kilichopotea.

Sarafu za fedha ambazo Kanisa linapaswa kuvaa zinapatikana katika Wagalatia 5:22-23 … upendo, furaha, amani, uvumilivu, utu wema, fadhili, uaminifu, upole, kiasi. Ninaweza kuongeza, heshima, utakatifu na uaminifu, ambavyo vinatambulishwa katika fadhila hizi.

Kwa muda mrefu sarafu inapotea kuna uwezekano mdogo wa kupatikana - lazima tuirudishe haraka, inapopotea.

Uangalifu mkubwa na maumivu huchukuliwa ili kupata kile kilichopotea. Mwanamke huwasha mshumaa, kuangalia nyuma ya mlango, chini ya meza, na katika kila kona ya nyumba, hufagia nyumba, na kutafuta kwa bidii mpaka aipate.

Inapaswa kuwa wakati wa kukata tamaa, Bwana-arusi anatayarisha mambo yote kwa ajili ya kurudi Kwake, sisi pia tunapaswa kufanya hivyo. Ufunuo 19:7 kwa maana arusi ya Mwana-Kondoo imekuja, na mkewe amejiweka tayari.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - APRIL 11, 2024

Luke 15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

This woman was an Oriental woman and she represented the church. And her wedding band was not worn on the finger, it was worn across the head, with ten pieces of silver in it. If a woman was untrue to her husband, they took out one piece of silver that represented her loyalty to him. This woman lost one of the pieces, and her husband was away, and she was trying to quickly find that piece to put it back in her wedding band because when her husband came he would find it gone and assume she has been caught in adultery and it would mean a breaking up of home.

We can apply this to the church today, how the very best of them have lost a lot of great things, and it is time for the LORD to come. There needs to a cleaning and searching for that which is lost.

The silver coins the Church is supposed to wear is found in Galatians 5:22-23 …love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance. I might add, respect, holiness and loyalty, which are identified in these virtues.

The longer a coin is lost the less likely it is to be found – we must quickly reclaim them, when lost.

A great deal of care and pain is taken to find that which is lost. The woman lights a candle, to look behind the door, under the table, and in every corner of the house, sweeps the house, and seeks diligently till she finds it.

It should be a desperate time, the Bridegroom is getting all things ready for His return, so should we. Rev 19:7 …for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Ushawishi - neno la Kiingereza kama kitenzi linamaanisha, kuweza kuathiri tabia, ukuzaji au tabia ya mtu. Yesu Kristo alikuwa na ushawishi mkubwa kwa wale waliomfuata, kwamba baada ya kifo chake, kuzikwa na kufufuka kwake, wengi walikuwa tayari kufa kwa ajili ya Kristo.
Ushawishi unaweza kuwa na nguvu kubwa sana, nzuri au mbaya. Mwezi huathiri mawimbi ya bahari, vinginevyo maji yangefunika dunia. Mataifa yenye ushawishi wa taifa, kama vile Marekani, nchi nyingi za ulimwengu wa tatu zinataka kuwa kama watu wa taifa hili, kuvaa kama hilo na kutenda kama hilo, Mungu apishe mbali.

Kama Mkristo, matendo na mitazamo yetu inaweza kuunda jinsi watu wanavyofikiri na mambo watakayofanya, rahisi kwa sababu unafanya hivyo. Utawashawishi wale ulio karibu nao, na itakuwa ni nguvu kubwa juu yao, kwa hiyo, iwe daima ni kiakisi cha Kristo, na maisha yaliyo ndani yetu kama Wakristo.
Hilo ndilo onyesho la Uhai wa Ishara, ambao ni mvuto mkuu na wenye nguvu kwa wale tunaowapenda.

Unachosema, wanakishikilia. Unaona? Ni hayo tu.
Weka Ishara, kisha tembea nayo. Dai kaya yako. Lazima uifanye sasa. Huu ni wakati wa jioni. Sasa, mmekuwa mkisikiliza kwa muda mrefu, sasa huu ni wakati wa jioni. Ni wakati wa kutuma maombi sasa.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - APRIL 10, 2024

Influence - the English word as a verb means, to be able to effect the character, development or behavior of someone. Jesus Christ had such an influence on those that followed Him, that after His death, burial and resurrection, many were willing to die for the cause of Christ.

Influence can be a very strong force, good or bad. The moon influences the tides of the sea, otherwise water would cover the earth. Nation's influence nations, as with the United States of America, many third world countries want to be like the people of this nation, dress like it and act like it, God forbid.

As a Christian, our actions and attitudes can shape the way people think and the things they will do, simple because you do it. You will influence those you are around, and it will be strong force on them, therefore, may it always be a reflection of Christ, and the life that is in us as Christian's.

That is the display of the Token Life, which is a great and a powerful influence toward those we love.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMANNE - APRILI 9, 2024
Jana (Jumatatu 4/8/2024) tuliona hapa Marekani kupatwa kwa jua kwa jumla. Inafurahisha, na uvumi mwingi na mawazo juu ya maana yake kama Wakristo. Je! ni ishara ya kuja kwa BWANA, Hukumu kwa taifa hili lililowahi kuwa kuu, na je, kuna jambo kuu linalokaribia kutukia? Nimesikia mawazo tofauti kuhusu tukio hili mbinguni. Mungu daima ameweka alama mbinguni; ili kutuonyesha jambo litakalotokea duniani. Biblia ya kwanza ilikuwa nyota ya nyota, Aliiandika mbinguni, ili mwanadamu aangalie juu na kutambua kwamba Yehova Muumba aliishi juu na anataka kukaa ndani ya mioyo ya mwanadamu duniani.

Nabii Yoeli alitabiri kuhusu siku za mwisho, na Petro akamnukuu;

Matendo 2:19 Nami nitafanya maajabu mbinguni juu, na ishara chini duniani; damu, na moto, na moshi wa moshi; 20 jua litageuka kuwa giza, na mwezi kuwa damu, kabla haijaja siku ile kuu na mashuhuri ya Bwana; 21 na itakuwa, kila mtu atakayeomba jina la Bwana litaokolewa.

Ishara hizi zote tumeziona katika siku za mwisho, ambazo zilikuwa tangu wakati Petro aliponena haya mpaka sasa. Ishara za mbinguni zinazowaita watu kwenye toba ili wasiwe na udhuru. Hata hivyo, hili tuliloliona mbinguni, kupatwa kabisa kwa jua, haikuwa ishara kwa wale wanaoamini - tayari tumepokea ishara yetu ya mwisho ambayo imetuleta pamoja kwa Neno la Mungu na tumaini la ufufuo na. kunyakuliwa kwa watakatifu walio hai. Hatutafuti ishara nyingine leo. Hatuhitaji kuwa na ishara nyingine.

61-0411 LAKINI.HAIKUWA.KUTOKA.MWANZO_
Kumbukeni, hebu niwaambieni, ROHO WA MUNGU ASEMA HIVI, aliye juu yangu, hii ndiyo ishara ya mwisho kwa Kanisa la Mataifa kabla ya Unyakuo. NENO LA MUNGU ASEMA HIVI, ROHO MTAKATIFU ASEMAYE, ambaye anena, ajuaye siri ya moyo, BWANA ASEMA HIVI, unapokea mwito wako wa mwisho. - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - APRIL 9, 2024

Yesterday (Monday 4/8/2024) we observed here in the USA a total solar eclipse. Interesting, and a lot of speculation and thoughts on what it means to us as Christians. Is it a sign of the coming of the LORD, Judgment to this once great nation, and is something great fixing to happen? I have heard different thoughts concerning this event in the heavens. God has always marked things in the heavens; to show us something that are going to take place on earth. The first Bible was the zodiac, He wrote it in the heavens, so that man would look up and realize that Jehovah the Creator lived above and wants to dwell in the hearts of man on the earth.

Joel the prophet prophesied of the last days, and Peter quoted him;

Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

All these signs we have seen in the last days, which was from the time that Peter spoke this until now. Signs in the sky, calling men to repentance so as to have no excuse. However, this that we have seen in heaven, the total eclipse of the sun, was not a sign to those that believe - we have already received our last sign that has brought us together by the Word of God with a hope of the resurrection and rapture of the living saints. We are not looking for another sign today. We do not have to have another sign.

61-0411 BUT.IT.WASN'T.SO.FROM.THE.BEGINNING_

Remember, let me tell you, THUS SAITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD that's on me, this is the last sign to the Gentile church before the rapture. THUS SAITH THE WORD OF GOD, THUS SAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT that speaks, that, knows the secret of the heart, THUS SAITH THE LORD, you are receiving your last call. - William Branham

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATATU - APRILI 8, 2024
2 Petro 1:4 Tena kwa hayo ametukirimia ahadi kubwa mno, za thamani, ili kwamba kwa hizo mpate kuwa washirika wa tabia ya Uungu, mkiokolewa na uharibifu uliomo duniani kwa sababu ya tamaa.
1) Ahadi, tulizopewa, kubwa na za thamani.
2) Asili ya kimungu
3) Aliepuka ufisadi uliomo duniani kwa njia ya tamaa.

Ahadi - Wayahudi walishikilia ahadi zake - Ibrahimu alikuwa mfano.

Rom 4:19 Wala hakuwa dhaifu katika imani, lakini hakuuhesabu mwili wake uliokuwa umekufa, alipokuwa na umri wa kama miaka mia moja, wala hali ya kufa kwa tumbo la Sara. bali alikuwa na nguvu katika imani, akimtukuza Mungu; 21 Akiwa na hakika kabisa kwamba yale aliyoahidi alikuwa na uwezo wa kufanya

Mungu atatimiza ahadi yake - usikatiliwe mbali nao kwa kutoamini.

Ambapo tumepewa sisi ahadi kuu na za thamani - ni zipi ahadi zetu? Wokovu (Roho Mtakatifu), usalama, muhuri, usaidizi wakati wa taabu na majaribu, tumaini, furaha, amani, uzima… kama Kristo alivyoishi duniani ndivyo na sisi tunashiriki asili yake ya Uungu.

Asili ya Kiungu - asili ya Mungu kwa maisha yake, Roho Mtakatifu. Kwa kawaida kuwa na asili ambayo ni ya kimungu, ambayo itaongezeka zaidi na zaidi.

2 Wakorintho 7:1 Basi, wapenzi wangu, kwa kuwa tuna ahadi hizo, na tujitakase nafsi zetu na uchafu wote wa mwili na roho, huku tukitimiza utakatifu katika kumcha Mungu.

Kwa hizo [ahadi] mpate kuwa washirika wa tabia ya uungu…asili ya Mungu, Tabia ya Kristo inayoishi ndani yetu. Kwa kawaida kuwa na asili ambayo ni ya kimungu. …mkiokolewa na uharibifu uliomo duniani kwa sababu ya tamaa. Asili potovu iliyohukumiwa kuzimu.

Ufisadi ambao tumeuepuka, kwa sababu ya ahadi zake. Asili yetu, matamanio, na mawazo yetu yamebadilika, tunapoishi chini ya ahadi yetu ya uzima wa milele. Nasi tunakuwa kielelezo cha Uzima wa Milele, sasa katika maisha yetu.

Kurejeshwa kwa sura ya Mungu ili kuakisi mbingu, si asili potovu ya ulimwengu kwa sababu ya tamaa. Dhambi haitawala tena ndani yetu kwa mauti, bali neema, hata uzima wa milele.

Hili ndilo lilikuwa somo katika sehemu ya Jumapili asubuhi "Kuepuka Ufisadi wa Ulimwengu Huu" 4-7-2024, iliyohifadhiwa kwenye tovuti ya kanisa letu.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - APRIL 8, 2024

2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

1) Promises, given to us, great and precious.

2) Divine nature

3) Escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Promises – the Jews held to His promises – Abraham was the example.

Rom 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform

God will keep His promise – don’t be cut off from them by unbelief.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises – what are our promises? Salvation (Holy Spirit), security, seal, help in the time of trouble and trial, hope, joy, peace, life… as Christ lived on earth so do we partake of His Divine nature.

Divine Nature - God’s nature by His life, the Holy Ghost. Naturally having a nature that is godly, which will increase more and more.

2 Cor 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

By these [promises] ye might be partakers of the divine nature…God’s nature, the Character of Christ living in us. Naturally having a nature that is godly. …having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. A corrupt nature doomed for hell.

A corruption that we have escaped from, because of His promises. Our nature, desires, and our thoughts have changed, as we live under our promise of eternal life. And we become a reflection of Eternal Life, now in our life.

Restored back to the image of God to reflect heaven, not the corrupt nature of the world because of lust. Sin no longer reigns in us unto death, but grace, unto life - eternal life.

This was the subject in part Sunday morning "Escaping the Corruption of this World" 4-7-2024, archived at our church website.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - IJUMAA - APRILI 5, 2024
Unachotafakari ni wewe ni nani na unakuwa nini. Kutafakari - sizungumzii shughuli fulani ya kidini ya mashariki ya akili. Lakini kutafakari, kushukuru, kufikiria au kutafakari juu ya kitu fulani - kitu ambacho ni sawa, kitu ambacho ni cha manufaa, kitu ambacho kitazungumza sio tu kwa akili yako lakini moyo wako.

Daudi, lazima alitafakari juu ya Mungu alipokuwa kijana alipokuwa akichunga kondoo wa baba yake katika nyika isiyo na watu. Alipokuwa akifikiria juu ya mazingira yake aliweza kumwona Mungu katika yote hayo, katika kondoo, na katika utunzaji wake kwa kondoo, ambayo ilimtayarisha kuwa mchungaji wa Israeli kama Mfalme na mtu aupendezaye moyo wa Mungu mwenyewe.

Zab 63:6 "Ninapokukumbuka kitandani mwangu, Nakutafakari Wewe nyakati za kesha za usiku. 7 Kwa kuwa umekuwa msaada wangu, Kwa hiyo katika uvuli wa mbawa zako nitashangilia.

William Branham akizungumza juu ya Bartimayo, Kipofu, na jinsi ambavyo pengine alikuwa akiwaza juu ya Maandiko na ukuu wa Mungu katika siku zilizopita. Wakati wa kutafakari jambo hili Yesu anakaribia.
“Sasa nataka nikuulize swali, inatufaa nini kuja kanisani na kuketi kwenye mkutano na kutafakari na tunaweza kukata tamaa kwa sababu hatukupata kadi ya maombi, au labda kukata tamaa kwa sababu ya ugonjwa fulani. jambo ambalo jirani alifanya, ama kukatishwa tamaa kuhusu jambo moja dogo ama lile lingine.
Hapo ndipo wanafunzi, baada ya ufufuo, walipokuwa wakishuka njiani kuelekea Emau, walipokuwa wakizungumza juu yake, ndipo alipowatokea.
Tuliweka mawazo yetu kwenye mambo mengi sana ya ulimwengu. Kama tungetupilia mbali mambo hayo mawazoni mwetu, na kufikiria juu Yake na ujio Wake upesi, kungekuwa na mafunuo zaidi na nguvu katika kanisa. Lakini tunaendelea kufikiria juu ya mambo ... "Nitafanya nini kesho? Nitafanya nini wiki ijayo? Je, nitashikilia kazi yangu? Je, hii itakuwa..." Mambo hayo yote yako mikononi mwa Mungu. Fikiria juu ya Kristo."

Usinukuu: Ijaribu. Utapata kutafakari kwako, ikiwa ni juu ya Mungu na kile alichotupa kwa maandishi (Biblia) kitakutia moyo. Hapo ndipo Anapokaribia.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - APRIL 5, 2024

What you meditate on is who you are and what you become. Meditation - I am not speaking of some eastern religious cultic activity of the mind. But to contemplate, thank, consider or reflect upon something - something that is right, something that is helpful, something that will speak not just to your mind but your heart.

David, must have meditated on God as a young man while taking care of his father's sheep in the lonely wilderness. As he thought on his surroundings he could see God in all of it, in the sheep, and in his care for the sheep, which prepared him to be the shepherd of Israel as King and a man after God's own heart.

Ps 63:6 "When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. 7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

William Branham speaking of Blind Bartimaeus, and how he was probably thinking on the Scriptures and the greatness of God in days gone by. While meditating on this Jesus comes near.

"Now, I want to ask you a question. What good does it do us to come to church and set in the meeting and ponder and may be discouraged because we didn't get a prayer card, or maybe be discouraged because of some ill thing a neighbor did, or discouraged about one little matter or the other? That keeps Christ away from you. It's when you're thinking on Him.

That's when the disciples, after the resurrection, was going down the road to Emmaus, as they were speaking about Him, that's when He appeared to them.

We got our minds on too many things of the world. If we would throw those things off our mind, and think about Him and His soon coming, there'd be more revelations and power in the church. But we keep thinking about the things... "What am I going to do tomorrow? What will I do next week? Will I hold my job? Will this be..." All those things are in the hands of God. Think on Christ."

Unquote: Try it. You will find your meditation, if it is on God and what He gave us in print form (the Bible) will encourage you. It is then He comes near.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - ALHAMISI - APRILI 4, 2024
Ebr 4:12 Maana Neno la Mungu li hai, tena lina nguvu, tena lina ukali kuliko upanga uwao wote ukatao kuwili, tena lachoma hata kuzigawanya nafsi na roho, na viungo na mafuta yaliyomo ndani yake; tena li jepesi kuyatambua mawazo na makusudi ya moyo. moyo.

Hiki ni kitambulisho cha Mungu ni nani na anafanya nini. Neno bado hutambua mawazo na makusudi ya moyo, kama linasomwa kutoka katika Biblia, au linahubiriwa kutoka nyuma ya mimbari.

Nilifurahia kuhubiri kuhusu Wazazi wa Samsoni jana usiku (Jumatano) na jinsi malaika wa BWANA alivyomtokea mama yake kabla ya kuzaliwa kwake. Hakujua kuwa alikuwa ni malaika wa BWANA, alimwona kuwa mwanamume, mhubiri, au nabii. Kwa nini haraka hivyo angemwambia Manoa mumewe, "Mtu wa Mungu alikuja kwangu?" Ni nini kilihitimu kauli hii ghafla? Uso wake ulikuwa kama wa malaika wa Mungu, na alijua siri iliyokuwa moyoni mwake. "Tazama, wewe u tasa, huzai; lakini utachukua mimba na kuzaa mtoto mwanamume." Mzigo mkubwa wa moyo wake ukafunuliwa, na tamaa yake ikajulikana (Waamuzi 13:2-6).

Neno la Mungu, linaponenwa kutoka kwa mtumishi wa BWANA mnyofu, liwe kwako kila wakati - la haraka, lenye nguvu, lenye ukali, lenye kugawanya mambo yote yaliyo mema na mabaya, likitambua mawazo na makusudi ya moyo wako.

Hivi ndivyo roho ya utambuzi, ambayo tumeitambua kuwa ni ISHARA kwa wale wanaoweza kuipokea, BADO INAKUWA KATI YETU. Na hiyo ni kwa sababu Neno la Yeye liko hai zaidi leo kuliko wakati wowote, wakati utakaoona UNYAKUO NA UFUFUO.

Daima tarajia Neno lijue mawazo yako na yaliyo moyoni mwako, ili uweze kuwa sehemu ya yale ambayo Mungu ameahidi katika siku hii.

Ibada ya jana usiku imehifadhiwa kwenye tovuti yetu ya kanisa - "Wazazi wa Samsoni."

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - APRIL 4, 2024

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This is an identification of who God is and what He does. The Word still discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart, whether it is read from the Bible, or preached from behind the pulpit.

I enjoyed preaching about the Parents of Samson last night (Wednesday) and how the angel of the LORD appeared to his mother before his birth. She did not know it was the angel of the LORD, she observed him to be a man, a preacher, or a prophet. Why so quickly would she say to her husband Manoah, "a man of God came unto me?" What qualified this statement so suddenly? His countenance was like that of an angel of God, and he knew the secret that was in her heart. "Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son." The great burden of her heart was revealed, and her desire was made known (Judges 13:2-6).

May the Word of God, when it is spoke from a sincere servant of the LORD, always be to you - quick, powerful, sharp, and dividing asunder all things good and bad, as a discerner of the thoughts and intents of your heart.

This is how the spirit of discernment, which we have come to recognized as a SIGN to those that can receive it, IS STILL AMONG US. And that is because He's Word is more alive today than in any age, the age that will see the RAPTURE AND THE RESURRECTIONS.

Always expect the Word to know you thoughts and what is in your heart, that you can be a part of that which God has promised in this day.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - APRIL 3, 2024

As we walk through this life, everywhere we go, the things we do, the actions we take, whether good or bad will be stepping stones for others to follow. Therefore, if we follow in the steps of Christ, it will always be right and those that follow our steps will find solid footings in life.

How do we walk in Christ footsteps? Talk to Him about every step you make today (prayer). Then look at the road map He left us and you will see a clear path ahead. That road map is ONE, and will properly lead us down every path we will travel. It is our GPS that accurately determines the way we should go - the BIBLE.

Nilipoamka asubuhi ya leo, nikitazama dirishani niliweza kuona mawingu juu. Mtu wa hali ya hewa alitabiri mvua kwa asubuhi ya leo. Hali mbaya ya hewa, anga ya mawingu - huzuni roho, wakati anga angavu ya jua inaonekana kushoto mtazamo wa watu. Hata hivyo, kuna njia tofauti za kutazama hali zinazoonekana za maisha.

Ninapotazama kwenye dirisha lile lile asubuhi ya leo, ingawa mbingu ni ya mawingu, naweza kutabasamu na kusema ukweli; "Ni siku nzuri, na Jua linaangaza." Jua lipo kila wakati, hata likifichwa na mawingu, hakuna kitu kabisa kinachoweza kulisogeza, kulibadilisha au kuliharibu. Hata kupatwa kwa jua kabisa ambako kutatia giza eneo hili tunaloishi kwa siku chache, haibadilishi ukweli - jua bado litakuwa linaangaza huko, bila kujali giza litakalotuzunguka kutokana na kupatwa kwa jua.

Wakati mwingine, Wakristo wana siku za giza zenye mawingu, lakini hiyo haibadilishi ukweli huu; MWANA bado anang'aa rohoni mwako. Hakuna kitu kinachoweza kubadilisha hilo, hakuna unyogovu, hisia ya dreary au moody, ambayo ni maonyesho ya mwili.

Neno la Mungu bado ni wewe kabisa, kwamba MWANA anang'aa na unaweza kusema bila unafiki; “Siku hii ndiyo aliyoifanya BWANA, tutashangilia na kuifurahia (Zaburi 118:24).

Unaona, ulifanywa kuwa na furaha na uhuru. Ulifanywa kuishi kama watoto mbele ya Baba yako, na kujua ya kwamba Yeye hufanya kila siku, kila kitu kifanye kazi sawa kwako kila siku. Naam, bwana. Nukuu ya William Branham katika Hot Springs AR USA

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - APRIL 2, 2024

As I arose this morning, looking at the window I could see clouds above. The weather man predicted rain for this morning. Bad weather, cloudy skies - depresses spirits, while bright sunny skies seem to left people's attitude. However, there are different ways to look at life's visible circumstances.

As I look out the same window this morning, even though the heavens are cloudy, I can smile and say truthfully; "It is a beautiful day, and the Sun is shining." The sun is always there, even when it is hid by the clouds, there is absolutely nothing that can move it, change it or destroy it. Even a total solar eclipse which will blacken this area where we live in a few days, does not change the fact - the sun will still be shining up there, regardless of the darkness that will surround us from the eclipse of the sun.

Sometimes, Christian's have cloudy dark days, but that does not change this fact; The SON is still shining in your soul. There is nothing that can change that, no depression, dreary or moody feeling, which are expressions of the flesh.

God's Word is still you absolute, that the SON is shining and you can say without hypocrisy; "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalms 118:24)."

"See, you were made to be happy and free. You were made to live like children before your Father, and know that He makes every day, everything work right for you each day. Yes, sir." Quote by William Branham in Hot Springs AR USA

Imani ya kweli ya Kikristo ni ya ajabu sana! Nikiwa mzee, ikiwa ningekuwa na miaka 73 ya kuishi, ningetaka kuishi kwa ajili ya Kristo. Nilivyo, rangi ya asili ya kusikia kwangu, rangi ya ngozi yangu, kimo changu, na rangi ya macho, na wahusika wote wa afya wa kawaida wa jinsi nilivyozaliwa, mimi ni nani, Mungu aliamua kabla sijafika hapa.

Sifa hizo za asili, ingawa mwili huzeeka na kukunjamana, nywele zangu hubadilika kuwa mvi, mabega yameinama, na macho yangu kufifia, hazibadiliki kamwe. Mungu alinipiga picha katika ujana wangu, alichotaka niwe huko akhera, na siku moja nikipita njia ya kaburi, kutakuwa na ufufuo na kile alichonipa Mungu, na akanifanya niwe. kulingana na picha hiyo hiyo.

Ukristo unaamini katika ufufuo, kwa kweli, Ukristo ndiyo dini pekee ambayo msingi wake ni ufufuo. Kipindi hiki cha ufufuo si wikendi maalum tu, bali ndivyo tulivyo, jambo ambalo tunapaswa kufurahia kila siku hadi mabadiliko yako yatakapokuja.

Hutakuwa tofauti na wewe kuwa mkamilifu, jinsi Mungu alivyokuona hapo mwanzo. Hatasahau jambo moja kukuhusu.

Tulikuwa na wikendi nzuri sana ya ibada hii Pasaka 2024, kuimba Ijumaa usiku, ibada ya Mapambazuko Jumapili asubuhi na Ndugu George Smith pamoja nasi kuimba na kuhubiri. Huduma zimehifadhiwa kwenye tovuti yetu ya kanisa.

Mungu aliweka picha yake aliyokutaka huko akhera. Sasa, ninaamini katika ufufuo. Ukristo unaamini katika ufufuo. Jambo hilo lote linategemea ufufuo.
Sasa watu wengi wanafikiri kwamba wakishuka chini namna hii, watarudi juu aina fulani ya roho mwenye mbawa zinazoruka. Utarudi wanaume na wanawake kama ulivyo sasa. Kama Biblia hii itaanguka kutoka jukwaani hadi kwenye meza, na kuchukua Biblia nyingine na kuiweka mahali pake, huo sio ufufuo, huo ni badala yake. Ufufuo ni kuleta Biblia ile ile iliyoshuka. Na ufufuo unamleta mtu yule yule aliyeshuka.
Sasa asubuhi ya leo wewe ni mzee na mvi na umeinama begani. Na mama na wewe una maumivu mengi na uchungu na mambo ambayo hukuwa nayo, nayo—imebadilika. Lakini kumbuka, ungali unamtumikia Mungu yule yule aliyekuleta duniani. Basi ni lazima yote yawe katika kusudi la Mungu kukuruhusu upate njia hii. Lakini kumbuka, katika ufufuo hutakuwa na mvi wala kunyanzi. Kila kitu ambacho kifo kimekufanyia kitasahaulika katika ufufuo.
Mungu, alipoichora ile picha, alisema, “Hao hao hapo. Na ndipo utakapoingia mavumbini na kuinuka tena, utarudi wale wanandoa wapenzi uliokuwa nao madhabahuni asubuhi ile, kubaki milele namna hiyo. Kwa hivyo tunapaswa kuogopa nini? - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - APRIL 1, 2024

The true Christian faith is so wonderful! As an elderly person, if I had another 73 years to live, I would want to live it for Christ. What I am, the original color of my hear, my skin tone, my height, and eye color, and all normal healthy characters of how I was born, who I am, God determined it before I got here.

Those original qualities, though the body gets old and wrinkled, my hair turns gray, shoulders stooped, and my eyes dim, they do not really ever change. God took a picture of me in my prime, what He wanted me to be in the hereafter, and one day if I should go by the way of the grave, there will be a resurrection and what God gave me, and made me will be according to the same picture.

Christianity believes in resurrection, in fact, Christianity is the only religion that is based on resurrection. This resurrection season is not just a special weekend, but it is what we are, something we should enjoy every day until your change comes.

You will not be any different than a perfect you, the way God saw you in the beginning. He will not forget one thing about you.

We had such a wonderful weekend of services this Easter 2024, a singing Friday night, Sunrise service Sunday morning and Brother George Smith with us singing and preaching. The services are archived at our church website.

58-0619B YE.MUST.BE.BORN.AGAIN_ GREENVILLE.SC THURSDAY_

God had His picture fixed what He wanted you in the hereafter. Now, I believe in resurrection. Christianity believes in resurrection. The whole thing's based on resurrection.

Now many people think that they go down like this, they'll come back up some kind of a spirit with wings a flying. You'll come back up men and women like you are now. If this Bible falls from the platform down to the table, and to take another Bible and put in its place, that's not resurrection, that's replacement. Resurrection is bringing the same Bible up that went down. And resurrection's bringing the same person up that went down.

Now this morning you're old and gray and stooped shouldered. And mother and you are having lots of a lot of aches and pains and things that you used to not have, and it--it's changed. But remember, you're still serving the same God that brought you on the earth. Then it must be all in God's purpose to let you get this a way. But remember, in the resurrection you'll not have a gray hair nor a wrinkle. Everything that death has did to you will be forgotten in the resurrection.

God, when He got the picture painted, He said, "There they are. Now, come on death, but you can't take them until I let you do it." And then when you go into the dust and raise up again, you'll come back the same lovely couple that you was at the altar that morning, to remain forever that way. So what have we got to be scared about? - William Branham

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - IJUMAA NJEMA - MACHI 29, 2024
Kuna mambo matatu ambayo yanaonekana kuwa muhimu zaidi kwa Waumini - Kifo, Kuzikwa na Ufufuo. Hili kanisa la kwanza lilipaswa kuridhika nalo, hata na maisha yao wenyewe nyakati fulani. Ingawa ni msingi wa imani yetu, ni lazima turidhike kwa ajili yake katika ulimwengu huu wa wagonjwa wa dhambi ambao hauamini chochote isipokuwa "ubinafsi."
Kila kitu katika asili kinazunguka kwenye vitu hivyo vitatu: kifo, kuzikwa, na ufufuo. Kila siku ya maisha yetu, kuna kitu kinatushuhudia juu ya kifo, kuzikwa na ufufuo. Bila hivyo, kusingekuwa na nguvu katika kanisa, kwa sababu kusingekuwa na uzima (Roho Mtakatifu), na bila maisha yake kufanya kazi katika kanisa hakungekuwa na ushahidi kwamba Kristo alifufuka kutoka kwa wafu. Ninaamini kwamba ndiyo sababu Mungu ameifanya iwe rahisi na ya wazi, kwamba ikiwa mtu hakuwa na Biblia angeweza kuiona katika asili kila siku.

Nabii kwa kizazi hiki aliridhika na jambo hili hadharani. Uungu ambao Mungu aliudhihirisha kupitia huduma hiyo ulishuhudia kizazi hiki cha mwisho, kwamba BWANA wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye alikufa msalabani, akazikwa - AKAFUFUKA TENA ili kuishi katika kanisa lake kwa nguvu. Hakutakuwa na kukana jambo hili katika wakati wa mwisho wa kanisa (Laodikia).
Alizungumza yafuatayo kuhusiana na somo hili;

"Angalia, kuna uzima, kifo, kuzikwa, ufufuo. Ufufuo! Huwezi kwenda nje bila kuiona. Tazama majani yanavyotokea wakati wa majira ya kuchipua. Waangalie wakifikia ujana wao katika uzee wao, katika umri wao wa makamo, na kisha uzee wao.Na mshipa uko kwenye majani, ukibeba uhai.Dakika chache, unakuta si muda mrefu, kabla baridi yo yote haijaanguka ama cho chote kile,majani hayo hudondoka.Na inakuwaje? mti, utomvu huo, unashuka hadi kwenye mizizi.Kama sivyo, baridi ya kipupwe ingeua mti, kuua uhai.Haiwezi kukaa juu.Haina budi kushuka na kujizika yenyewe.Lakini katika masika ya mwaka, huu hapa unarudi, ukiwa na jani jipya tena. Unashuhudia kuna uzima, kifo, kuzikwa, ufufuo. Kila kitu kikichapa.
"Angalia jua linapochomoza asubuhi, jua ambalo huangaza anga. Ni mtoto mchanga, aliyetikiswa mikononi mwa mama yake, wakati ni dhaifu, sio maisha mengi, sio kali sana. Halafu karibu saa nane. inaanza shule.Saa kumi na moja na nusu, anahitimu, na ametoka shule ya upili na kutoka chuo kikuu.Halafu yuko katika nguvu zake, kuanzia saa kumi na mbili hadi saa mbili hivi.Ndipo anaanza kudhoofika, kudhoofika, kudhoofika. na hatimaye anadhoofika sana kama mzee ama mwanamke, anashuka chini. "
“Kila kitu kinashuhudia. Asili yote hushuhudia. Neno hushuhudia jambo hilo. Roho Mwenyewe aliye ndani ya mioyo yetu, hushuhudia jambo hilo. Kitu fulani ndani yetu, kikiita, ya kwamba, 'Kuna ufufuo wa wafu.' "- WMB

Unquote: Ukristo wote unategemea ufufuo. Maisha ya Mungu hayana mwisho na yanaendelea katika Kanisa Lake leo. Tunatazamia kuheshimu Ufufuo kwa ibada ya macheo saa 7:00 AM, watu wengi watasafiri kwenda kanisani wakati Jua linakuja. Tutakuwa na huduma nyingine saa 11:00AM

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - GOOD FRIDAY - MARCH 29, 2024

There are three points that stand out as most important to Believers - Death, Burial and Resurrection. This the earliest church had to content for, even with their own life at times. Even though it is fundamental to our faith, we must content for it in this sin-sick world that does not believe in anything but "self."

Everything in nature revolves around those three things: death, burial, and resurrection. Every day of our life, something is testifying to us of the death, burial and resurrection. Without it, there would be no power in the church, because there would be no life (Holy Spirit), and without His life working in the church there could be no evidence that Christ rose from the dead. I believe that is why God has made it so simple and clear, that if a person did not have a Bible they could see it in nature every day.

A prophet to this generation publicly contented for this very thing. The supernatural which God demonstrated through that ministry testified to this last generation, that our LORD Jesus Christ who died on the cross, and was buried - ROSE AGAIN to live in his church with power. There will be no denying this in the final age of the church (Laodicea).

He spoke the following in regards to this subject;

"Look, there is life, death, burial, resurrection. Resurrection! You can't go outside without seeing it. Watch the leaves come on in the spring. Watch them get to their youth in their old, in their middle age, and then their old age. And the vein's in the leaves, packing the life. A few minutes, you find out it isn't long, before any frost falls or anything, them leaves drop off. And what happens? The life that's in that tree, that sap, goes down into the roots. If it didn't, the winter cold would kill the tree, kill the life. It can't stay up. It's got to go down and bury itself. But in the spring of the year, here it comes back, with a new leaf again. It's testifying there is a life, a death, a burial, a resurrection. Everything typing. We just can't get from it."

"Watch the sun when it rises of a morning, the sun that lights the skies. It's a little baby, rocked in its mother's arms, when it's weak, not very much life, not very strong. And then about eight o'clock, it starts off to school. At eleven-thirty, she's graduated, and it's out of high school and out of college. Then she is in her strength, from about twelve till about two. Then she begins to get weak, weaker, weaker, weaker, and finally she gets real weak like an old man or woman, goes down. Is that the end of it? She comes back the next morning to testify, 'There is a resurrection, and a life beyond death.' "

"Everything testifying. All nature testifies. The Word testifies to it. The very Spirit Itself that's in our heart, testifies to it. Something within us, calling out, that, 'There is a resurrection of the dead.' " - WMB

Unquote: All Christianity is based upon resurrection. God's life never ends and lives on in His Church today. We are looking forward to honoring the Resurrection with a sunrise service at 7:00 AM, most people will be traveling to church while the Sun is coming up. We will have another service at 11:00AM

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - JUMANNE - MACHI 26, 2024
Ebr 4:12 Maana Neno la Mungu li hai, tena lina nguvu, tena lina ukali kuliko upanga uwao wote ukatao kuwili, tena lachoma hata kuzigawanya nafsi na roho, na viungo na mafuta yaliyomo ndani yake; tena li jepesi kuyatambua mawazo na makusudio. ya moyo.

Kwa maana sisi tunaoamini, NENO lililofunuliwa leo ni BWANA Yesu Kristo (Yohana 1:1). Maandiko yafuatayo yanaongeza kwa nguvu kwa yaliyotangulia; 13 Wala hakuna kiumbe kisichokuwa wazi mbele zake;

Hili ndilo lililodhihirishwa kwetu kupitia huduma ya malaika wa saba wa Ufunuo 10:7. Ishara ya mwisho kwa kanisa, kabla ya ufufuo wa watakatifu na kunyakuliwa.

Hii inanitia moyo kujua, ukweli wa uwepo wa Mungu leo - Anasikia na kuona kila kitu ambacho nimewahi kufanya na kusema, hakuna kitu kinachopita bila ujuzi wake, kwa hiyo, anaweza kuwa kuhani mkuu mbinguni, Yesu mwana wa Mungu juu yangu. ungamo. Mabaya hutunzwa milele, na mambo mazuri ninayohitaji yanatolewa na mapenzi ya Mungu kwa maisha yangu. Ananijua, ananisikia, hata mawazo yangu yanazungumza mbinguni na ananijua kwa jina na ananijali.

Mungu amethibitisha hili kwetu kwa ishara ya mwisho kwa wakati huu wa mwisho, kwa wale wanaoweza kuipokea.

William Branham katika mstari wa maombi; "Sasa, kama Mungu ni yeye yule, na sijui uko hapa kwa ajili ya nini, lakini Yeye anajua. Na kama atafunua yale uliyoko hapa, basi utamwamini na kukubali kuwa Mponyaji wako? shida ya neva, na una kiota upande wako wa kulia. Hiyo ni kweli. Una moyo uliopanuka, na una shida na kichwa chako. Kuna mtu anayetokea karibu nawe; ni mume wako. Yuko hapa sasa. Ikiwa Mungu. unaweza kuniambia shida yake ni nini, unaniamini?Sasa, yeye ana wasiwasi (jambo moja), lakini ana shida ya moyo na tumbo.Hiyo ni kweli.Bibi Colvert kutoka huko Othelia, Georgia, rudi nyumbani kwako. Wote wawili mko wazima; mnaweza kwenda na kuponywa katika Jina la Yesu Kristo.”— WMB

Unquote: Mungu aliyefunua mambo hayo, anakujua wewe na mimi leo. Yeye si Mungu wa jana tu. Hili linapaswa kukutia moyo (Waebrania 13:8).

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - MARCH 26, 2024

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

For we that believe, the WORD revealed today is the LORD Jesus Christ (John 1:1). The following scripture adds powerfully to the previous; 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

This is what was made manifest to us through the ministry of the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7. The last sign to the church, before the resurrections of saints and the rapture.

This encourages me to know, the reality of God's presence today - He hears and sees everything I have ever done and said, nothing passes without His knowledge, therefore, He can be the great high priest in heaven, Jesus the son of God upon my confession. The bad is taken care of forever, and the good things I need are supplied by God's will for my life. He knows me, He hears me, even my thoughts speak loud in heaven and He knows me by name and He cares for me.

God has proved this to us with the final sign to this final age, to those that can receive it.

William Branham in the prayer line; "Now, if God is the same, and I don't know what you're here for, but He knows. And if He will reveal what you're here for, then you will believe Him and accept as your Healer? A nervous trouble, and you've got a growth on your right side. That's right. You've got an enlarged heart, and trouble you have with your head. There's someone appearing by you; it's your husband. He's here now. If God can tell me what his trouble is, you believe me? Now, he's nervous (one thing), but he's got heart trouble and stomach trouble. That's right. Mrs. Colvert from down in Othelia, Georgia, return back to your home. You're both well; you can go and be made well in the Name of Jesus Christ."- WMB

Unquote: The God that revealed those things, knows you and I today. He is not just a God of yesterday. This should encourage you (Hebrews 13:8).

Ezekieli 34:26 Nitawafanya wao na mahali palipouzunguka mlima wangu kuwa baraka; nami nitaleta manyunyu kwa wakati wake; kutakuwa na manyunyu ya baraka.

Wana wa Israeli wamekuwa kondoo wa Mungu siku zote. Aliweka wachungaji juu yao ili kuwalisha, kuwatunza na kuwalinda, hata hivyo, wachungaji walijilisha wenyewe na kuwapuuza kondoo. Ndipo BWANA asema kwa kinywa cha nabii; BWANA ASEMA HIVI, nitawatafuta kondoo Wangu na kuwaokoa na siku ya mawingu na giza. Nitawatafuta waliopotea na kuwarudisha, nitawafunga waliovunjika na kuwaponya wagonjwa. Nami nitaweka mchungaji MMOJA juu yao, naye atawalisha.

Hii bila shaka ilikuwa inatazamia mbele kwa Mwana wa Daudi, Masihi, BWANA wetu Yesu Kristo, akifunuliwa kwetu “leo” katika utimilifu wa NENO!

Kisha inatabiriwa; "Nitanyesha manyunyu kwa wakati wake; kutakuwa na manyunyu ya baraka." Kwetu sisi, hizi ndizo baraka tunazopata kwa kusikia Neno la Mungu likihubiriwa tunapokusanyika pamoja. Si maonyesho ya nje ya furaha na mihemko bali ni jambo kubwa zaidi na la ndani zaidi, ambalo huenda kwa nafsi ya ndani ya kila Mkristo.

Hakika, hii ndiyo tuliyokuwa nayo Jumapili kwenye Living Word Tabernacle pamoja na "kondoo wa kundi lake." Manyunyu ya Baraka! Nilifurahi kuzungumza Jumapili asubuhi juu ya somo la; Roho zinazohudumu (malaika walinzi), je, tunazo leo?

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - MARCH 25, 2024

Ezekiel 34:26 I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

The children of Israel have always been God's sheep. He placed shepherds over them to feed, care for and protect them, however, the shepherds fed themselves and neglected the sheep. Then the LORD says through the prophet; THUS SAITH THE LORD, I will search for My sheep and deliver them from the cloudy and dark day. I will seek the lost and bring them back, bind up the broken and heal those that are sick. And I will establish ONE shepherd over them and He shall feed them.

This of course was looking ahead to the Son of David, the Messiah, our LORD Jesus Christ, being revealed to us "today" in the fullness of the WORD!

It is then prophesied; "I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessings." For us, this is the blessings we receive from hearing the Word of God preached when we assemble together. It is not an outward expression of rejoicing and emotions but something greater and deeper, which goes to the inner soul of every Christian.

Certainly, this is what we had Sunday at Living Word Tabernacle with the "sheep of His flock." Showers of Blessings! I was happy to speak Sunday morning on the subject of; Ministering Spirits (guardian angels), do we have them today? The evening service Brother Braden Savage spoke to the church about the great battle we face in our mind (Making Mole Hills into Mountains). All services archived at our church website.

Math 16:18 "...juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala milango ya kuzimu haitalishinda." Hili ni jina la kwanza la KANISA la Agano Jipya - inasemekana kuzimu itakuwa dhidi yake, lakini haitalishinda. Kwa hiyo, kutakuwa na nyakati ambapo adui atakuja kama mafuriko, lakini kutakuwa na KIWANGO dhidi ya ushindi wake.

Kiwango hicho kwa Kanisa ni NENO la Mungu. Majaribu, magonjwa, magumu yatakuja, na yanapotokea yatakuja kama mafuriko. Hata hivyo, haituzuii, wala haishindwi kanisa, bali inajenga tabia inayofanana na Kristo tunayopaswa kuwa nayo. Kuna kiwango kinachoweza kuinuliwa, kujua Neno limesema nini, na kujificha nyuma ya Neno hilo.

SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.KITABU
"Usifikirie kuwa si ajabu kuhusu majaribu makali ambayo yatawajaribu."
Hivyo ndivyo Petro alisema. Je, ni ajabu kwamba Mungu anataka kukuza tabia kama ya Kristo ambayo huja kupitia mateso? Hapana bwana. Na sote tuna majaribu. Sisi sote tunajaribiwa na kurudiwa kama wana. Sio moja lakini hupitia hiyo. Kanisa lisiloteseka, na halijaribiwa, halijapata—si la Mungu. - WMB

imani kana kwamba adui yetu wa kawaida, ameweka wengine hospitalini, kuna familia nyumbani wagonjwa, pamoja na majaribu mengine ya imani yetu - watoto wadogo, msiogope, ninyi ni wa MUNGU.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - MARCH 22, 2024

Matt 16:18 "...upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." This is the first mention of the New Testament CHURCH - it is said hell will be against it, but will not prevail. Therefore, there will be times when the enemy will come in like a flood, but there will be a STANDARD against his onslaught.

That standard for the Church is the WORD of God. Trials, sickness, difficulties will come, and when they do, they will come like a flood. However, it doesn't stop us, nor does it defeat the church, but builds the Christ-like character we must possess. There is a standard that can be lifted up, knowing what the Word has said, and hiding behind that Word.

SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK

"Think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that are to try you."

That is what Peter said. Is it strange that God wants us to develop a Christ-like character that comes through suffering? No sir. And we all have trials. We are all tried and chastened as sons. Not one but goes through that. The church that is not suffering, and is not being tried, hasn't got it--it isn't of God. - WMB

It seems as if our common enemy, has put some in the hospital, there are families at home sick, along with other trials of our faith - little children, fear not, you are of GOD.

Ikiwa watu wawili wangepigana, na mmoja alikuwa na nguvu na anayetamani kuliko mwingine, bila kujali vitisho ambavyo mpinzani dhaifu angetoa - matokeo yangekuwa nini? Ni dhahiri, aliye dhaifu atashindwa kila wakati, bila kujali vitisho vyake vikali. Mtu mwenye nguvu zaidi hangelazimika kutumia shutuma za matusi, angeweza kumuondoa adui yake kimya kimya, kwa nguvu alizokuwa nazo.

Yuda 9 Lakini Mikaeli, malaika mkuu, alipokuwa akishindana na Ibilisi, akihojiana na mwili wa Musa, hakuthubutu kuleta mashitaka ya kumtukana, bali alisema, Bwana na akukemee.

Ufalme wa BWANA wetu, una nguvu kuliko ufalme wa adui zetu. Ibilisi anajaribu kutuaminisha kuwa wake ana nguvu zaidi na sisi ni dhaifu zaidi. Ndiyo, ana uwezo, na anajisifu kwa sauti kubwa juu ya yale anayofanya na anaweza kutufanyia, na kuna pambano la kweli. Walakini, tunaweza kujua kimya kimya, na kwa ujasiri, tayari ameshindwa, hata kabla ya mapigano kuanza. Tuna nguvu, kuliko adui wetu kwa uwezo wa Yeye aliye na nguvu zote na hekima na sisi ni sehemu ya ufalme huo. Ufalme ulio ndani yetu.

1 Yohana 4:4 ... kwa sababu yeye aliye ndani yenu ni mkuu kuliko yeye aliye katika dunia.

52-1027 YESU.KRISTO.HUYO.JANA.LEO.NA.MILELE.
Sasa, kumbukeni jambo hili, kwamba ninanukuu, ya kwamba “Neno la Mungu litamshinda Shetani popote, wakati wo wote, mahali po pote, kwa hali yo yote.” Neno la Mungu pekee, “Imeandikwa,” litamshinda Shetani, haidhuru yeye ni nani, anakuja katika umbo gani, mahali alipo, litamshinda Shetani.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - MARCH 21, 2024

If two people were going to fight, and one was stronger and wisher than the other, regardless of the threats the weaker opponent would make - what would be the outcome? It is obvious, the weaker one will be defeated every time, regardless of his loud threats. The stronger one would not have to use railing accusations, he could quietly dispose of his enemy, with the strength he possessed.

Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Our LORD'S kingdom, is stronger than our enemies kingdom. The devil tries to convince us that his is stronger and we are weaker. Yes, he has power, and he loudly brags about what he does and can do to us, and there is a real fight. However, we can quietly, and confidently know, he is already defeated, even before the fight begins. We are stronger, than our adversary by virtue of He that has all strength and wisdom and we are a part of that kingdom. A kingdom that is within us.

1 John 4:4 ...because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

And because of this, we HAVE what is needed in the spiritual fight we face today. I love the following quote:

52-1027 JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME.YESTERDAY.TODAY.AND.FOREVER

Now, remember this, that I make this quotation, that "The Word of God will defeat Satan anywhere, any time, any place, on any condition." The Word of God alone, "It is written," will defeat Satan, no matter who he is, what form he comes in, where he's at, it'll defeat Satan. Now that is truth: the written Word of God. - WMB

Unyenyekevu na Unyenyekevu. Watu wanapokuwa wa “Kiroho” mara nyingi wanamtafuta Mungu katika ukuu, nguvu, na mambo ambayo ni magumu kuelewa. Ninapochunguza maandiko napata Mungu kila mara amefunuliwa katika yale mambo ambayo si makubwa katika uwezo wao, kusimama au kuvutia kibinafsi. Wanyonge, wadogo, waliokataliwa na wasiojulikana. Ndiyo, Mungu ni mkuu, ana nguvu na anaelewa mambo ambayo hatungeweza kamwe kuelewa, hata hivyo, Alijifanya kuwa dhaifu ili tuweze kumjua na kumwelewa vizuri zaidi.

Kristo alikuwa mfano wa waumini na kielelezo cha umoja kupitia upole wa akili na matendo. ili tuwe na nia moja, tusifanye neno lo lote kwa majivuno yasiyo na maana, bali kwa unyenyekevu, tuwahesabu wengine kuwa bora kuliko nafsi yako. Siku zote si kuangalia mambo yetu wenyewe, bali mambo ya wengine pia (Wafilipi 2:2-4).
Maandiko yaliendelea kutufafanulia mtazamo huo kuwa wenye nia ya Kristo.

Wafilipi 2:5 Iweni na nia iyo hiyo ndani yenu ambayo ilikuwamo pia ndani ya Kristo Yesu; 6 ambaye yeye mwanzo alikuwa yuna namna ya Mungu, hakuona kule kuwa sawa na Mungu kuwa ni kitu cha kushikamana nacho; 7 bali alijifanya kuwa hana utukufu, akatwaa juu yake. umbo la mtumwa, akawa ana mfano wa wanadamu, 8 naye alipoonekana ana umbo kama mwanadamu, alijinyenyekeza, akawa mtii hata mauti, naam, mauti ya msalaba.

Ilikuwa katika Unyenyekevu na Usahili Kristo aliinuliwa kwa njia ifaayo. Kamwe usitafute ukuu, bali mtafute Mungu katika kile kinachoonekana kidogo na kidogo. Kwa watu wengi wanaojiona kuwa "wa kiroho" inaweza kuonekana kuwa sio ya kiroho kwa sababu ya urahisi wake. Hata hivyo, kwa Mungu ni nguvu, kwa sababu Yeye ametukuka sana katika hilo.

Nabii wa Wakati huu alisema hivi; "Lakini hiyo ndiyo shida yetu usiku wa leo, tulijaribu kuwa watu wazima katika Mungu, wakati tunapaswa kuwa watoto wachanga katika Mungu. Tunajua mengi sana. Mungu anakaa katikati ya unyenyekevu na urahisi. Usisahau hilo kamwe. " - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - MARCH 19, 2024

Humility and Simplicity. When people become "Spiritual" many times they look for God in greatness, strength, and things that are hard to understand. As I search the scriptures I find God always revealed in those things that are not great in their abilities, standing or personal appeal. The weak, the little, the rejected and the unknown. Yes, God is great, He is strong and understands things that we could never understand, however, He made Himself weak so we could really know and understand Him better.

Christ was the believers example and pattern of unity through meekness of mind and action. That we would be likeminded, not doing anything for vainglory which causes strife but in lowliness of mind considering others better than yourself. Always looking out not for our own interests, but also for the interests of others (Philippians 2:2-4).

The Scriptures went on to explain this attitude to us as having the mind of Christ.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

It was in Humility and Simplicity Christ was exalted in the proper way. Never seek greatness, but look for God in that which seems little and small. To many people that consider themselves "spiritual" it may seem unspiritual because of its simplicity. However, to God it is mighty, because He is highly exalted in the same.

A prophet to this Age said it like this; "But that's what's the trouble with us tonight, we tried to be an adult in God, when we ought to be babies in God. We know so much. God dwells in the center of humility and simplicity. Don't never forget that." - William Branham

Warumi 9:31 bali Israeli, wakiifuata sheria ya haki, hawakuifikilia sheria ya haki. 32 Kwa nini? Kwa sababu hawakutafuta kwa imani, bali kana kwamba kwa matendo ya sheria. Kwa maana walijikwaa lile jiwe la kujikwaa; 33 Kama ilivyoandikwa, Tazama, naweka katika Sayuni jiwe likwazalo, mwamba wa kuwaangusha, na kila mtu amwaminiye hatatahayarika.

Unahesabiwa haki, umefanywa haki kwa imani pekee, hatuwezi kujisifu - Wayahudi hawakuweza kujisifu. Sheria haikuleta amani na Mungu (Hii sio amani ya jinsi unavyohisi, ambayo inabadilika). Amani hii ni kati ya wawili waliokuwa hawaelewani... Hali ya kudumu ambayo tunaingia.

Israeli, walitazamia amani kwa njia isiyofaa, na hawakuweza kupata amani ya kweli, kwa sababu waliikataa amani ya kweli kwa kuweka mambo mengine mahali pake. Ndipo Mungu akawaambia; "Hakuna amani kwa waovu, asema BWANA" (Isaya 48:22).

Hakuwezi kuwa na amani ya kudumu, starehe, au ufanisi zaidi ya yale ambayo Mungu hutoa. Wengine wanaweza kuwa na mwonekano wa furaha, na kunaweza kuwa na furaha ya muda. Lakini hakuna furaha ya kudumu, kubwa na ya kudumu, kama ile inayofurahiwa na wale wanaomwogopa na kumpenda Mungu. ''Waovu ni kama bahari iliyochafuka, ambayo haiwezi kutulia, ambayo maji yake hutoa matope na uchafu.

Kwa mwamini, Kristo ndiye amani yetu, na aliiweka pale Msalabani milele, kama tunaweza isipokuwa kwa IMANI PEKE YAKE.

"Upendo wangu mara nyingi huwa chini,
Furaha yangu bado inatiririka,
Lakini amani pamoja naye inakaa sawa,
Hakuna mabadiliko ambayo Yehova anajua.

nabadilika; Yeye habadiliki,
Kristo wangu hawezi kufa kamwe;
Urafiki huu uliotiwa muhuri wa damu haubadilika,
Ukweli wake, sio wangu, tie."

Marafiki watakukatisha tamaa, lakini Yeye hatakukatisha tamaa. Uzoefu wetu unaweza kuwa juu na chini, lakini sio hii. Amani hii haitokani na hisia au sifa zangu. Au hata jinsi ninavyoelewa kuhusu Uungu, maono ambayo Nabii wetu alikuwa nayo, au mafumbo makuu aliyofundisha zama. Inategemea IMANI PEKE YAKE.

Wengi leo hujikwaa katika hili, kama vile watoto wa Israeli walivyojikwaa. Wanapapasa katika giza la amani iliyojitengenezea wenyewe, au wanashangaa katika ulimwengu wa “mbona sina furaha” huku usahili wa IMANI PEKEE, ukisimama mbele yetu, amani kati yako na Mungu.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - MARCH 18, 2024

Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

You are justified, made righteous by faith alone, we cannot brag - the Jews could not brag. The law did not bring peace with God (This is not a peace in how you feel, which is changeable). This peace is between two that were at odds... An abiding state in which we enter.

Israel, they looked for peace in the wrong way, and could not find true peace, because they rejected the true peace by replacing it with other things. Then God said to them; "There is no peace , saith the LORD, unto the wicked" (Isaiah 48:22).

There can be no permanent peace, enjoyment, or prosperity other than that which God provides. Some may have the appearance of joy, and there may be temporary happiness. But there is no abiding, substantial, permanent happiness, such as is enjoyed by those who fear and love God. ''The wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."

To the believer, Christ is our peace, and He forever settled it at the Cross, if we can except it by FAITH ALONE.

"My love is oft-times low,

My joy still ebbs and flows,

But peace with Him remains the same,

No change Jehovah knows.

I change; He changes not,

My Christ can never die;

This blood-sealed friendship changes not,

His truth, not mine, the tie."

Friends will let you down, but He will not. Our experience may be up and down, but not this. This peace is not based on my feelings or merits. Or even how much I understand about the Godhead, visions that our Prophet had, or great mysteries he taught the age. It is based on FAITH ALONE.

Many today stumble at this, as did the children if Israel. They grope in the darkness of self-made peace, or wonder in a world of "why am I not happy" while the simplicity of FAITH ALONE, stands before us, a peace between you and God.

Wanafunzi wa Kristo walimuuliza; "tufundishe kuomba." Yesu hakuwasilisha maombi tena kama sheria, bali uhusiano. Sio Kuhani Mkuu anayeomba kwa niaba yetu mbele ya madhabahu, katika sherehe ya kisheria. Ni uhusiano wa upendo, kama ombi la mtoto kwa Mungu Baba mwenye hekima yote, upendo na nguvu, anayejali kabisa wale ambao ni wake.

Wakristo dhaifu zaidi wana uhusiano huu na Baba, na anataka tutumie kifungo hiki cha kidunia na cha mbinguni ambacho kimewezekana kwa kuzaliwa kwetu upya katika Kristo. Ilisemwa na William Branham; "...mashetani hutetemeka watakatifu wanyonge wanapopiga magoti. Ni nguvu na upendeleo ulioje ambao umepewa Kanisa la Mungu aliye hai. Unapopiga magoti katika maombi hata mashetani hutetemeka, kwa walio dhaifu. wao."

Yesu alipowafundisha wanafunzi kuomba; "Baba yetu uliye mbinguni, Jina lako litukuzwe. Ufalme wako uje. Mapenzi yako yatimizwe, hapa duniani kama huko mbinguni." Ni kuliko, tunapoomba, kwamba Mbingu inashushwa kwetu na tunapandishwa Mbinguni.

Ni wazo la ajabu jinsi gani Kuomba. Usiache kuongea na Baba leo.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - MARCH 15, 2024

Christ's disciples asked Him; "teach us to pray." Jesus presented prayer no longer as a law, but a relationship. It is not a High Priest praying in our behalf before the altar, in a legal ceremony. It is a loving relationship, as a child's request of an all wise, loving and powerful Father God, that cares completely for those who are His.

The weakest of Christians have this relationship to the Father, and He wants us to use this earthly to heavenly bond that has been made possible by our new birth in Christ. It was said by William Branham; "...the devils tremble when the weakest of saints goes to their knees. What a power and a privilege has been given to the Church of the living God. When you fall to your knees in prayer even the devils tremble, to the weakest of them."

When Jesus taught the disciples to pray; "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth." It is than, when we pray, that Heaven is brought down to us and we are brought up to Heaven.

What a wonderful thought it is to Pray. Don't neglect to talk to the Father today.

SALA - neno la Kiingereza linamaanisha; ombi zito la msaada au wonyesho wa shukrani unaoelekezwa kwa Mungu, ambaye ndiye shabaha yetu pekee ya kuabudiwa.

Katika Maandiko Matakatifu imesemwa; "Eliya alikuwa mtu wa kupenda tamaa, akaomba... (Yakobo 5:17).
Petro alieleza kwamba mume na mke lazima wawe katika umoja ili MAOMBI yao yasizuiliwe (1 Petro 3:7). Inaonyesha msemo wa zamani, "familia inayosali pamoja hukaa pamoja."
BWANA Yesu alisema; “...ya kwamba imewapasa watu kusali siku zote, wala wasikate tamaa. ( Luka 18:1 ).
Mtume Paulo alitoa kauli nyingi kuhusu maombi na jinsi alivyoomba; "Ombeni bila kukoma (1 Wathesalonike 5:17). Kwa kanisa la Waefeso anaandika; “Siachi kutoa shukrani kwa ajili yenu, nikiwataja katika maombi yangu (Waefeso 1:16). Mtume akimwandikia mwanawe katika imani; "... bila kukoma nakukumbuka katika maombi yangu usiku na mchana. (2 Timotheo 1:3).

Nashangaa, unamkumbuka nani katika maombi yako usiku na mchana?

Maombi yanapaswa kuwa jambo moja tunalopata wakati mwingi zaidi katika uzoefu wetu wa Kikristo. Itakuleta katika Utukufu wa Shekina wa uwepo Wake, na mwonjo wa baraka wa utukufu Wake wa milele. Simu yako ya rununu haitafanya hivyo.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - MARCH 14, 2024

PRAYER - the English word means; a solemn request for help or an expression of thanksgiving addressed to God, who is our only object of worship.

In the Scriptures it is said; "Elijah was a man object to like passions and he prayed... (James 5:17)."

Peter explained that a husband and wife must be in unity so their PRAYERS will not be hindered (1 Peter 3:7). It reflects the old saying, "the family that prayers together stays together."

The LORD Jesus said; "...that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1).

The Apostle Paul made many statements about prayer and how he prayed; "Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17)." To the church at Ephesians he writes; "Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers (Ephesians 1:16)." The Apostle writing to his son in the faith; "...without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day. (2 Timothy 1:3)."

I wonder, who you remember in your prayers night and day?

Prayer should be the one thing we find the most time for in our Christian experience. It will bring you into the Shekinah Glory of His presence, and a blessed foretaste of His eternal glory. Your cell phone will not do that.

59-0301E WHAT.DOES.THOU.HERE_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

Isaya 59:19 ...Adui atakapokuja kama mafuriko, Roho wa BWANA atainua bendera juu yake.

Kila mtu ana kiwango, inaweza kuwa marafiki zao na kile anachofanya. Kwa wengi ni utamaduni unaowazunguka na mwelekeo wa sasa ni upi. Inaweza kuwa kanisa fulani, na jinsi wanavyoabudu. Inaweza kuwa huduma fulani wanayofurahia na kujaribu kuiga. Vitu vingi vinaweza kuwa kiwango katika ulimwengu huu wa watu ambao hawana.

Hata hivyo, kuna KIWANGO kwa Mkristo halisi. Lazima kuwe na kiwango katika kizazi hiki cha watu wasio na matamanio, wanaoweza kusonga, wasio na viwango, watu wa kidini walioambukizwa sana na roho ya Wakati huu uitwao Laodikia (Ufunuo 3:14-20).

Kunaweza kuwa na KIWANGO kimoja tu cha wakati huu na kimoja tu, kama vile imekuwa kwa kila wakati wa kanisa. Kiwango ambacho Muumini wa kweli anasimama dhidi ya madanganyo ya Shetani, ambayo hutoa mbadala nyingi sana. KIWANGO hiki ni nguvu, upako, kutoka kwa kiti cha enzi cha Mungu hadi Enzi (Ufunuo 4:5), kiwango hicho ni NENO la MUNGU, linaloishi ndani na kupitia kwa wale wanaoweza kulipokea kama nguvu ya kushinda Enzi.

Sasa, unafikiri Shetani ataacha jambo hili liendelee namna hii, bila kizuizi? La, hapana. Hakika hatafanya hivyo. Ataruka ndani, moja ya siku hizi, kama tu kisulisuli. Lakini adui anapoingia kama mafuriko, Roho wa Mungu huinua kiwango dhidi yake. Endelea tu kujiinua kwa maombi mbele za Mungu. Shikamaneni ninyi kwa ninyi. Shikilia Mungu. Kwa maana, mkipendana, inaonyesha kwamba mnampenda Mungu. “Haya watu wote watajua ya kuwa ninyi mmekuwa wanafunzi Wangu, mnapokuwa na upendo ninyi kwa ninyi. - WMB

Isa 59:19 ...When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Everyone has a standard, it could be their friends and what they do. For many it is the culture around them and what is the current trend. It could be a certain church, and the way they worship. It could be a certain ministry they enjoy and try to emulate. Many things can be a standard in this world of people that really have none.

There is however, a STANDARD to the real Christian. There must be a standard in this wish-washy, moveable, standard-less generation of people, a religious people so infected by the spirit of this Age called Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-20).

There can only be one STANDARD for this age and only one, as it has been for each age of the church. A standard whereby the true Believer stands against the deceptions of Satan, that offers so many substitutes. This STANDARD is a power, an anointing, coming from the throne of God to the Age (Revelation 4:5), that standard is the WORD of GOD, living in and through those that can receive it as a power to overcome the Age.

65-1031M POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION_ PRESCOTT.AZ V-17 N-1 SUNDAY_

Now, you think Satan is going to let this go on like this, without a hindrance? Oh, no. He sure won't. He is going to fly in, one of these days, just like a whirlwind. But when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises a standard against it. Just keep lifting yourself up in prayer before God. Cling to one another. Hold to God. For, if you love one another, it shows you love God. "This will all men know, that you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other." - WMB

That encourages me, to know, what have comes and goes as normal, God has provided a standard to hold me!

Gen 6:5 MUNGU akaona ya kuwa maovu ya mwanadamu ni makubwa duniani na kwamba kila kusudi analowaza moyoni mwake ni baya tu sikuzote.

Kile ambacho Mungu aliona kilileta hukumu kwa ulimwengu wote, gharika, ambayo iliharibu wote walio hai. Bila shaka, asili ya mwanadamu na uovu wake unaendelea hadi leo hii. Hata hivyo, kama ilivyokuwa katika siku hiyo, kulikuwa na mtu ambaye hakuishi hivyo, na kumpendeza Mungu, na hakudhurika na hukumu hii kuu, Mungu akifanya maandalizi kwa ajili ya usalama. Wengine, wangeweza kuiacha, lakini kwa sababu hizo hizo leo walikataa na kuhukumiwa.

Ebr 11:7 Kwa imani Nuhu akiisha kuonywa na Mungu katika habari ya mambo yasiyoonekana bado, kwa kuogopa sana, aliunda safina, apate kuokoa nyumba yake. kwa hayo aliuhukumu ulimwengu, akawa mrithi wa haki ipatikanayo kwa imani.

IMANI ndiyo iliyomwokoa Nuhu, wakati huu wa uovu, na imani aliyokuwa nayo ilikuwa ni ishara kwa familia yake kwa usalama wao. Tunaishi katika ulimwengu uliojaa uovu uleule, hakuna anayeweza kukataa hili.

Rom 3:10 Kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo: "Hakuna mwenye haki, hata mmoja; 11 hakuna afahamuye; hakuna amtafutaye Mungu." 12 Wote wamepotoka, wamepotea pamoja; hakuna atendaye mema, hapana hata mmoja.

Mungu amefanya maandalizi yaleyale kwa ajili ya usalama wetu kama alivyompa Nuhu na familia yake, mpango huo ni Imani yetu katika Neno la Mungu kwa siku hizi tunazoishi. Ninaamini, kwa usalama wangu na wale ninaowapenda.

Kama Mungu, katika siku za Nuhu angeweza kuwaonya ng'ombe na ndege waingie salama ndani ya safina, uharibifu ulikuwa unakuja, tufani, Yeye angali ni Mungu yeye yule usiku wa leo. Bado anapenda ng'ombe na ndege. Na ikiwa amewatengenezea ndege ndege na ng'ombe njia ya kuepushwa na ghadhabu ya hukumu, basi si zaidi gani amekuwekea njia ya kuokoka wewe na mimi ambao ni dhuria wa viumbe vyake. Ni zaidi gani ametutengenezea njia ya kutoroka. Tunasikia Roho Mtakatifu akivuta mioyo yetu. Saa inakuja. Tunaona vivuli vya wakati wa atomiki; tunaona vivuli vya zama za hidrojeni; tunaona mataifa yakivunjika, Israeli wakiamka. - WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - MARCH 11, 2024

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

What God saw brought judgment to the whole world, the deluge, that destroyed all living. Of course, the nature of man and his wickedness continues to this very day. However, as it was in that day, there was someone that did not live that way, and pleased God, and was not harmed by this great judgment, God making preparation for safety. Others, could have excepted it, but for the same reasons today refused and were judged.

Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

It was FAITH that saved Noah, during this time of wickedness, and the faith that he had was a token to his family for their safety. We are living in a world filled with the same wickedness, none can deny this.

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

God has made the same provision for our safety as He gave Noah and his family, that provision is our Faith in God's Word for the day we live. I believe it, for my safety and those I love.

60-0229 THE.ONCOMING.STORM_ PHOENIX.AZ

If the God, in the days of Noah could warn the cattle and the birds to come into safety in the ark, destruction was coming, a storm, He's still the same God tonight. He still loves cattle and birds. And if He made a way for a bird and a cow to escape the wrath of judgment, how much more has He made a way of escape for you and I, who are the offsprings of His creation. How much more has He made a way of escape for us. We feel the Holy Spirit tugging at our heart. The hour is coming. We see the shadows of the atomic age; we see the shadows of the hydrogen age; we see nations a-breaking, Israel awakening. - WMB

Mungu husikiliza mahubiri yangu yote, pia husoma machapisho na barua pepe zangu zote. Ninapaswa kuwa mwangalifu jinsi gani, nikijua hii. Labda, ndiyo sababu, nina dhamiri sana ya kile ambacho wengine husikia na kusoma juu ya kile ninachohubiri au kuandika.
Yesu akiwaagiza wanafunzi Wake, na kuwatuma kuhubiri, anawaonya juu ya yale watakayokumbana nayo wakiwa mhubiri.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - MARCH 8, 2024

God listens to all of my sermons, He also reads all of my post and emails. How careful I should be, knowing this. Perhaps, that is why, I am very conscience of what others hear and read of what I preach or write.

Jesus commissioning His disciples, and sending them to preach, warns them of what they will face as a preacher. He commands them to go and tells them what to say, and cautions them that they will be criticized, and hated for what they do and say. But also He encouraged them to go, and as you go preach saying...

As a Pastor, sometimes you worry about what you say, did I communicated it correctly and in the right spirit. Is the words I have written of God's leading or my own carnal nature. We must never be afraid to speak or write that which we sincerely believe is from heaven.

Matt 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I am glad, that there is something God hears above my words, He knows what I really mean because He hears my heart.

64-1212 THE.HARVEST.TIME_ PHOENIX.AZ - And I want to bring you conscious of that, before we approach farther, that God is in this room. The Author of this Word is here. So, it doesn't matter how you are dressed, or what degree you live in life, or what kind of a home you live in, or what type of car you drive, or how much education you've got, God looks at your heart. And He looks in my heart. And we're judged from our heart, not even our words. Our heart judges us. "From the heart speaketh the mouth." - William Branham

Unquote: He also, hears what you say and He reads all of your post'. Make sure it is your heart that speaks.

Matt 18:10 Angalieni msimdharau hata mmoja wa wadogo hawa; kwa maana nawaambia, malaika wao mbinguni siku zote huutazama uso wa Baba yangu aliye mbinguni. 11 Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu alikuja kuokoa kile kilichopotea.

Makanisa mengine yamejengwa karibu kabisa kutoka kwa makanisa mengine - wanatafuta yale tisini na tisa. Wakati kanisa linapaswa kufurahi katika mmoja, na sio wale tisini na tisa ambao tayari wako kwenye zizi. "Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu alikuja kuokoa kile kilichopotea."

Yule, ambaye ni "mmoja" aliye na hitaji, aliyepotea kwa njia fulani, na sisi sote ni "mmoja" huyo wakati mwingine. Hao ndio tunaohitaji kuwasaidia.

Mungu anapendezwa zaidi na wahitaji, wanyonge, wale ambao wamedhulumiwa, badala ya wenye nguvu. Ndiyo maana anapendezwa nawe. Tunapenda kusikia jinsi tulivyo wakuu na jinsi tulivyo na nguvu na kutoshindwa kwa sababu ya sisi ni nani. Hata hivyo, wakati fulani Mungu hutuleta kwa makusudi mahali ambapo sisi ni wahitaji, ili tumhitaji. Hapo ndipo tunapogundua jinsi tulivyo wadogo na dhaifu lakini jinsi Mungu alivyo mkuu.

Ni mapenzi ya Mungu kuwatafuta walio dhaifu, na hiyo inaweza kuwa wewe.

Hili lilikuwa somo Jumatano usiku 3/6/2024 katika LWT - yenye kichwa: "USIDHARAU MOJA KATI YA HAWA..." https://vimeo.com/918966569

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - MARCH 7, 2024

Matt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Some churches are built almost completely from other churches - they seek the ninety and nine. While the church should rejoice in the one, and not the ninety and nine that are already in the fold. "For the son of man is come to save that which was lost."

The one, that is the "one" that has the need, lost in some way, and we all are that "one" at times. That is the ones we need to help.

God is more interested in the needy, the weak, those that have been taken advantage of, rather than the mighty. That is why He is interested in you. We love to hear how great we are and how strong and invincible we have become because of who we are. However, God sometimes deliberately brings us to the place where we are needy, in order to need Him. It is then we find out how little and weak we are but how great God is.

It is God's will to seek out the weak, and that might be you.

This was the subject Wednesday night 3/6/2024 at LWT - titled: "DESPISE NOT ONE OF THESE..." https://vimeo.com/918966569

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - JUMATANO - TAREHE 6 MACHI 2024
Sisi ni watu wahitaji, sisi ni jamii duni, kwa sababu ya anguko la wazazi wetu katika bustani ya Edeni, miaka 6,000 iliyopita. Wakati haubadilishi hilo, wala hauendelezi uwezo wetu wenyewe kurudi kwenye sehemu hiyo tukufu ambayo mwanadamu alianguka kutoka.

Ashukuriwe Mungu kwa kuwa alitoa ili watu wake warudishwe katika kile tulichopoteza, kwa Yesu Kristo, 2 Wakorintho 5:17 Basi mtu akiwa ndani ya Kristo amekuwa kiumbe kipya; ya kale yamepita. ; tazama, yote yamekuwa mapya.

UUMBAJI MPYA ni Mungu anayeshughulika na nafsi za wale ambao ni wake tangu mwanzo. Nafsi iliyotoka kwa Mungu kwa kuchaguliwa tangu asili, na kukombolewa kurudi kwenye hali yake ya asili kwa ajili ya ukombozi.

Hata hivyo, bado tunaishi katika mwili huu duni ambao haujarejeshwa tena na hautakuwapo hadi tutakapopokea MWILI MPYA kwenye Ufufuo. Mpaka wakati huo... Mungu ametoa kile tunachohitaji kwa ajili ya kutiwa moyo, kujengwa na ukamilifu (ukomavu, ukuaji wa kiroho).

Sote tunajua, Roho yuko radhi, ingawa mwili ni dhaifu. Kwa hiyo, tunapokusanyika pamoja usiku wa leo (Jumatano) na Mungu katika Living Word Tabernacle, naamini BWANA atawapa Watu Wanaohitajiwa kile unachohitaji.

Mungu ni Mungu mkuu, na kwa hiyo ana uwezo zaidi wa kusema kupitia vyombo visivyokamilika, akikabidhiwa kwake, mambo ya kuwasaidia na kuwatia nguvu wale aliowachagua.

Ndugu Branham aliomba; “Watu na watambue ya kwamba huu ni moyo wa mchungaji wao, kujaribu kuleta kila kitu, na kila karama, na kila kitu wanachoweza, ambacho kinaheshimiwa na Mungu, ili kiweze kusaidia kusanyiko lao kuona na kuamini, na kukua. Tujalie, Baba." - 64-0318 BWANA TUTAMUONA YESU

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - MARCH 6, 2024

We are needy people, we are an inferior race, because of the fall of our parents in the garden of Eden, 6,000 years ago. Time does not change that, nor does it advance our own abilities to return to that glorious place mankind fell from.

Thanks be to God, that He provided away for His people to be restored back to that which we lost, by Jesus Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The NEW CREATION is God dealing with the soul of those that are His from the beginning. A soul that came from God by predestination, and redeemed back to its original condition for redemption.

However, we still live in this inferior flesh that has not been restored back and will not be until we receive a NEW BODY at the Resurrection. Until then... God has provided what we need for our encouragement, edification and perfection (maturity, spiritual growth).

We all know, the Spirit is willing, even though the flesh is weak. Therefore, as we assemble together tonight (Wednesday) may God at Living Word Tabernacle, I believe the LORD will give to a Needed people what you have need of.

God is a big God, and therefore He is more than able, to speak through imperfect vessels, if yielded to Him, the things to help and strengthen those whom He has chosen.

Brother Branham prayed; "May the people realize that this is the heart of their pastor, to try to bring in everything, and every gift, and everything they can, that's honored by God, that it might help their congregation to see and to believe, and grow. Grant it, Father." - 64-0318 SIR WE WOULD SEE JESUS

Katika ulimwengu ambao umejaa ubinafsi, kila kitu kinazunguka, mimi, mimi, wangu ... Ni unabii unaotimizwa kulingana na wakati tunaoishi sasa; Ufu 3:17 “Kwa sababu wasema, Mimi…” (Ufunuo 3:17).
Ni kanisa la Walaodikia katika hali mbaya zaidi, kanisa la mwisho la Nyakati. Huu ni Enzi iliyosahaulika, na ni kanisa lililoendelea na kukua sana hadi halijui tena kusudi lake.

Yesu alisema kanisa litajengwa juu ya ufunuo wa Yeye ni nani (Mathayo 16:17), sio juu ya matarajio na uwezo wetu binafsi. Haikupaswa kuwa kitu kinachomkuza mwanadamu, bali kuwabadilisha kuwa kama Kristo alivyokuwa duniani, na kuitwa Wakristo kwa sababu fulani. Tukienda kwa cheo hicho, basi wangu tunakumbuka daima, Ukristo haukuhusu wewe... unamhusu Yeye; Kristo Alisulubiwa, akazikwa na kufufuka kwa ajili ya kuhesabiwa haki kwetu.

Kama vile maisha yake yalivyokuwa dhabihu kwa ajili ya maisha ya wengine, ndivyo Wakristo wanapaswa kuishi. Itakuwa, ikiwa maisha yake yanaishi ndani yako na kupitia kwako.

60-0925 THAT.DAY.ON.CALVARY_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN
Alikuwa Mtu mmoja tu, Mtu mkamilifu. Alitoa Uhai Wake, na Akakufanyia mfano.
Sasa, tunapaswa kufanya nini? Sasa, jambo la kwanza ninalotaka kusema ni: Yesu hakuishi kwa ajili Yake Mwenyewe. Maisha yake yalitumika kwa ajili ya wengine. Huo ni Uzima wa Milele kikamilifu. Unaposema unaenda kanisani na unafanya mambo mazuri ni sawa. Lakini unapoishi maisha yako kwako mwenyewe, huna Uzima wa Milele. Uzima wa Milele ni kuishi kwa ajili ya wengine.
Ilithibitisha wakati ilipokuja katika Mwana-Kondoo wa Mungu. Aliishi na kuwa na Uzima wa Milele, kwa sababu hakuishi kwa ajili Yake Mwenyewe. Aliishi kwa ajili ya wengine. Nawe unapokea Uzima wa Milele kwa kupokea siku hiyo, nawe hujiishi tena kwa ajili yako. Unaishi kwa ajili ya wengine. - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - MARCH 5, 2024

In a world that is so full of selfishness, everything revolves around, me, I, mine... It is prophecy fulfilled according to the age in which we live now; Rev 3:17 "Because thou sayest, I..." (Revelation 3:17).

It is the church of the Laodiceans at its worst, the final church of the Ages. This is an Age that forgot, and it is a church that advanced and grew so much until she no longer knows her purpose.

Jesus said the church would be build on a revelation of who He is (Matthew 16:17), not on our personal ambitions and abilities. It was not to be something that promotes man, but changes them to be as Christ was on earth, and to be called Christians for a reason. If we go by that title, then my we always remember, Christianity is not about YOU... it is about Him; Christ Crucified, buried and resurrected for our justification.

Just as His life was sacrificial for the life of others, so must the Christians life. It will be, if His life is living in you and through you.

60-0925 THAT.DAY.ON.CALVARY_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

He was just one Man, the perfect Man. He gave His Life, and He made an example for you.

Now, what must we do? Now, the first thing I want to say is: Jesus never lived for Himself. His Life was spent for others. That's perfectly Eternal Life. When you say you go to church and you do good things, that's fine. But when you live your life to yourself, you haven't Eternal Life. Eternal Life is living for others.

It proved it when It come in the Lamb of God. He lived and had Eternal Life, because He did not live for Himself. He lived for others. And you receive Eternal Life by receiving that day, and you don't live for yourself no more. You live for others. - William Branham

Mtume Paulo, akiandika hotuba yake ya Farwell kwa Timotheo, na bila shaka kwa Kanisa la nyakati, ANAONYA Mwanawe katika imani. "Na kutakuwa na wale wanaogeuza masikio yao kutoka kwa ukweli, kama wewe Timotheo, uwe mtulivu na thabiti, ukubali kila dhiki inakuja bila kutetemeka, na uyafanye kwa utimilifu yale yote ambayo Mungu amekuitia. , nami naenda kwenye ujira wangu." Kisha anatoa kauli hii ya ajabu; "Nimevipiga vita vilivyo vizuri, mwendo nimeumaliza, na imani nimeilinda."

Ilikuwa ni imani ambayo ilimweka Paulo katika kila aina ya dhiki - nje ya kanisa na tofauti na wakosoaji ndani ya kanisa.

Baada ya siku nzuri sana pale Living Word Tabernacle jana (Jumapili), nilipoamka asubuhi ya leo kuanza siku yangu, wazo na maneno yafuatayo ya wimbo huu yanaanza kujaa moyo na akili yangu, nilipokuwa nikijiimbia.

Niweke kweli, BWANA Yesu, niweke kweli.
Niweke kweli, BWANA Yesu, niweke kweli.
Kuna mbio ambazo LAZIMA nikimbie,
Kuna ushindi wa kushinda,
Nipe nguvu, kila saa, kuwa kweli.

Na hicho kiwe kilio cha moyo wangu leo na kila siku ninapotembea katika nuru ambayo nimepewa. Bila kujali ugumu wa maisha, bila kupepesuka na kutekeleza kikamilifu mambo yote ambayo Mungu ameniitia kufanya. Ninashukuru sana Aliniita kwa kusudi hilo. Ni kwa akili hiyo lazima nitimue mbio hizi, hadi nifike kwenye mstari wa kumalizia.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - MARCH 4, 2024

The Apostle Paul, writing his Farwell address to Timothy, and of course to the Church of the ages, WARNS his Son in the faith. "There will be those that turn their ears from the truth, as for you Timothy, be calm and steady, accept every hardship that comes without flinching, and fully perform all the things God has called you to do. My ministry here is about over, and I go to my reward." He then makes this wonderful statement; "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and have firmly kept the faith."

It was a faith that kept Paul through every kind of adversity - outside of the church and differences with critics within the church.

After a wonderful day at Living Word Tabernacle yesterday (Sunday), as I got up this morning to begin my day, the following thought and words of this song begin to flood my heart and mind, as I sang to myself.

Keep me true, LORD Jesus, keep me true.

There's a race that I MUST RUN,

There are victories to be won,

Give me power, every hour, to be true.

May that be my heart cry today and everyday as I walk in the light that has been given. Regardless of the hardships, without flinching and fully performing all the things God has called me to do. I am so thankful He called me for that purpose. It is with that mind I must run in this race, until I come to the finish line.

How about You?

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - IJUMAA - TAREHE 1 MACHI 2024
Mariamu na Yosefu, wakitoka Yerusalemu na baada ya safari ya siku moja, waligundua kwamba Yesu mwenye umri wa miaka 12 hakuwa pamoja nao. Waliporudi Yerusalemu, wakamtafuta kwa muda wa siku tatu, wakamkuta Hekaluni, ameketi katikati ya waalimu, akiwasikiliza na kuwauliza maswali.

Luka 2:48 Walipomwona walishangaa; mama yake akamwambia, Mwanangu, mbona umetutenda hivi? tazama, baba yako na mimi tulikutafuta kwa huzuni.
49 Akawaambia, Mlikuwaje mlinitafuta? Hamkujua ya kuwa imenipasa kuwa katika kazi ya Baba yangu?

Ingawa alikuwa mtoto, bado alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu, wala si mwana wa Yusufu, alikuwa na ukweli, na angeweza kuwafundisha wasomi ukweli, kwa sababu Yeye alikuwa KWELI. UKWELI daima utasahihisha kile ambacho ni cha uongo.

William Branham alieleza hivi:

64-0112 SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ
Angalia jinsi Mariamu amekosea sana, lakini Neno Lake ni kamilifu sana. Alimkuta Hekaluni, akiwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili, akijadiliana na wanatheolojia. Aliwashangaza, kama Mvulana wa miaka kumi na miwili; hata si shuleni, ama, kama ni, hatuna rekodi yake. Lakini Kijana mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na miwili akiwachanganya wenye hekima hekaluni, kwa hekima Yake. Alisema, "Baba yako na mimi tumekutafuta kwa machozi." "Baba yako!" Mama mwenyewe, akidhani, alisema, “Baba yako Yusufu na mimi tumekutafuta kwa machozi.”
Alimwambia nini? "Hamjui ya kuwa imenipasa kuwa katika kazi ya Baba yangu?" Kama angalikuwa anafanya kazi ya Yusufu, angalikuwa akitengeneza nyumba, ama katika duka la seremala. Lakini Yeye hakuwa mwana wa Yusufu. “Ninafanya kazi ya Baba Yangu,” nikirekebisha haya madhehebu na kanuni za imani na mambo ninayosikia. "Ninahusu shughuli za Baba Yangu." Hakukubali kamwe Yusufu alikuwa baba Yake. Lakini Mariamu alifanya hivyo, naye akageuka nyuma na kumweka sawa.

Unquote: Kwa sauti nyingi zinazosafiri katika mawazo ya watu, Ni sawa leo.
Kama mchungaji, natambua zaidi ya hapo awali, ni kwa kuhubiri UKWELI tu, makosa yatarekebishwa, si kwa vipindi na burudani zaidi. Ukweli daima utapokelewa, na wale walio na kitu ndani yao cha kupokea KWELI, kwa sababu ukweli huu ni mtu. Wengine watatamani kitu kingine.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - MARCH 1, 2024

Mary and Joseph, leaving Jerusalem and after a day's journey, they realized the 12 year old Jesus was not with them. Returning to Jerusalem, having searched for him for three days, found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

Luke 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Though he was a child, He was still the Son of God, and not the son of Joseph, He had the truth, and could teach the truth to scholars, because He was the TRUTH. The TRUTH will always correct that which is false.

William Branham explained this way:

64-0112 SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ

Notice how Mary is so wrong, but His Word is so perfect. She found Him in the temple, at twelve, discussing with the theologians. He astounded them, as a twelve-year-old Boy; not even in school, or, if it is, we have no record of it. But a twelve-year-old Lad confounding the sages in the temple, at His wisdom. She said, "Thy father and I have sought Thee with tears." "Thy father!" The mother herself, supposing, said, "Thy father Joseph and I have sought Thee with tears."

What did He say to her? "Know ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" If He had been about Joseph's business, He'd a-been making houses, or in a carpenter's shop. But He wasn't Joseph's son. "I'm about My Father's business," correcting these denominations and creeds and things I hear of. "I'm about My Father's business." He never admitted Joseph was His father. But Mary did, and He turned back around and straightened her out.

Unquote: With many voices traveling into people's minds, It is the same today.

As a pastor, I realize more than ever, it is only by preaching TRUTH, errors will be corrected, not by more programs and entertainments. Truth will always be received, by those who have something in them to receive TRUTH, because this truth is a person. The others will desire something else.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy – JUMATANO - FEBRUARI 28, 2024
Maisha yana heka heka zake, siku nzuri na siku mbaya, nyakati ambazo kila kitu kinaonekana kuwa angavu halafu kuna nyakati unashangaa kama kuna mwanga wa jua hata kidogo. Hiyo yote ni nje ya begi la kunyakua la maisha, kila mtu aliyezaliwa na mwanamke hupata uzoefu huu.

Ikiwa tungepima maisha yetu, kwa hisia zetu na mitazamo yetu kama mstari kwenye karatasi, haingekuwa moja kwa moja, lakini kungekuwa na majosho na kupanda kwenye mstari na hiyo hadi mwisho. Jinsi inavyoisha ndio muhimu. Na inaweza kuishia sawa, ikiwa tutaweka maisha yetu kuzingatia yale ambayo ni ya mara kwa mara na hayabadiliki kamwe.

Paulo alihimiza kanisa kukumbuka mwisho wa wale ambao katika maisha yao yote walituhudumia mambo ya kiroho, na imani yao iliwafuata hata mwisho wa maisha yao. Hayo ni kwa sababu walitazamia kwa kudumu ambayo ingewaweka sawa. Mungu huwaweka wale kwenye safari ya maisha kukumbuka, na hilo kwa ustawi wetu.

Ebr 13:7 Wakumbukeni wale waliokuwa wakiwaongoza, waliowaambia neno la Mungu; 8 Yesu Kristo ni yeye yule jana na leo na hata milele.

Neno “mazungumzo” limetumika katika maana hii; (matokeo ya maisha yao yaliyotumiwa vizuri) AMP

Ninafurahi, wakati wa maisha marefu, kulikuwa na wale ambao walizungumza nami Neno la Mungu, na imani yao ikafuata, na mwisho wao ulikuwa wa neema. Niliona maisha yao na matatizo waliyokumbana nayo katika safari yote ya maisha huku wakimfuata Bwana Yesu Kristo.

Ingawa sasa mimi ni mzee na nimepewa jukumu la kuwaongoza wengine kiroho kama mchungaji, bado ninakumbuka wale walionitia moyo. Maombi yangu ni; Bwana, maisha yangu, bila kujali heka heka, nyakati nzuri na nyakati mbaya, yabaki mwaminifu na niruhusu niwaachie wengine pia.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy – WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 28, 2024

Life has its ups and downs, good days and bad days, times that everything seems to be bright and then there are those times when you wonder if there even is any sunlight at all. That is all out of the grab-bag of life, every person born of a woman experience this.

If we measured our life, by our feelings and our attitudes as a line on a paper, it would not be straightforward, but there would be dips and rises in the line and that until it ends. How it ends is what is important. And it can end right, if we keep our life focused on that which is constant and never changes.

Paul encouraged the church to remember the end of those who throughout their life ministered to us spiritual things, and their faith followed them even to the end of their life. That is because they looked to a constant that would hold them steady. God places those along life’s journey to remember, and that for our well-being.

Heb 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The word “conversation” is used in this sense; (the outcome of their well-spent lives) AMP

I am glad, during a long life, there were those who spoke to me the Word of God, and their faith followed, and their end was gracious. I observed their life and the difficulties they faced throughout life’s journey while following the Lord Jesus Christ.

Though I am old now and have been given a charge to lead others spiritually as a pastor, I still remember those that encouraged me. My prayer is; Lord, may my life, regardless of the ups and downs, good times and bad times, remain faithful and let me leave some footprints for others as well.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - JUMANNE - FEBRUARI 27, 2024
Katika Injili iliyobeba jina la Mtume Yohana, inasemekana, inazungumza juu ya Yohana mwingine; "Palikuwa na mtu, ametumwa kutoka kwa Mungu, jina lake Yohana." Ni kauli iliyoje - kwa wale wanaoelewa uhusiano huu ni kwa unabii mwingine kuhusu ujio wa pili wa Kristo.

Yohana Mbatizaji alikuwa nabii katika roho ya Eliya, alikuwa zaidi ya nabii kwa sababu kazi yake ilikuwa ni kumtambulisha Kristo, Masihi, kwa kizazi kile cha Kiyahudi. Maandiko yanaendelea kusema alikuja kushuhudia Nuru, ili watu wote waweze kuona Kweli na kuiamini na kuiamini.

Huduma ya Yohana Mbatizaji ilikuwa hivi kwamba wengi walidhani Yeye ndiye Nuru, lakini alitangaza kwamba yeye hakutumwa na kushuhudia tu Nuru hiyo. Hii ingekuwa Nuru ya kweli, Nuru halisi, kamilifu, thabiti ambayo ingemulika kila mtu. Kulingana na Isaya 40:5, Angekuwa Utukufu wa BWANA uliofunuliwa, kwa wenye mwili wote kuuona.

Huyu ambaye Yohana alimzungumzia, ambaye alikuwa mkuu kuliko yeye na angekuja baada yake, alikuwa Muumba wa vitu vyote, kwa kazi Yake ya kabla ya kupata mwili. Hata hivyo, wakati katika uumbaji wa ulimwengu uliofanywa na Yeye, watu hawakumjua, hata baada ya Yohana kumtambulisha. Yule Mkuu ambaye nabii alitumwa hapo awali, hakukaribishwa au kupokelewa na wale ambao alitumwa kwao haswa, na alipaswa kumjua.

Katika siku zetu hizi, tumekuwa na jambo lile lile kurudiwa. Kwenye mto Ohio mnamo 1932, nuru ilionekana juu ya kichwa cha William Branham alipokuwa majini, na ifuatayo ni maelezo yake ya kile kilichotokea.

55-0117 JINSI. Nilianza kubatiza, kisha nikasema, “Baba, kama ninavyombatiza kwa maji, wewe mbatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu. Nikaanza kumuweka chini ya maji.
Na mara tu upepo ukaja kutoka mbinguni juu, na hii hapa Nuru inakuja, ikiangaza chini. Mamia na mamia ya watu kwenye benki, moja kwa moja saa mbili alasiri, mnamo Juni. Nayo ilining'inia pale nilipokuwa. Sauti ilinena kutoka hapo, na kusema, “Kama vile Yohana Mbatizaji alivyotumwa kwa ajili ya mtangulizi wa kuja kwa mara ya kwanza kwa Kristo, mna…kuwa na Ujumbe utakaoleta kutangulia kwa Kuja kwa Pili kwa Kristo. " Na ilipenda kunitisha hadi kufa. - WMB

Unquote: Ikiwa sehemu hiyo imetimizwa, je, utimilifu wa huduma yake, wa kumtambulisha Kristo kuja mara ya pili, hautapokelewa? Kuna ulinganifu na ujio huu wa Eliya kama ilivyokuwa kwa Yohana.

Kutakuwa na wale ambao wataamini kwamba utimilifu wa Kristo umekuja miongoni mwetu, labda wachache tu, kama ilivyokuwa katika kule kuja kwa mara ya kwanza kwa Kristo.

Yohana 1:12 Bali wote waliompokea aliwapa uwezo wa kufanyika watoto wa Mungu, ndio wale waliaminio jina lake; 13 waliozaliwa, si kwa damu, wala si kwa mapenzi ya mwili, wala si kwa mapenzi ya mwili. kwa mapenzi ya mwanadamu, bali ya Mungu.

Kulikuwa na mtu aliyetumwa kutoka kwa Mungu... Ni kauli gani, lakini muhimu zaidi, je, tunaamini ujumbe wake, Kristo utimilifu wa Neno umekuja?

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 27, 2024

In the Gospel that carries the name of the Apostle John, it is said, speaking of another John; "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." What a statement - to those who understand the relationship this is to another prophecy concerning the second coming of Christ.

John the Baptist was a prophet in the spirit of Elijah, he was more than a prophet because his job was to introduce Christ, the Messiah, to that Jewish generation. The Scripture goes on to say he came to bear witness of the Light, that all men could see Truth and trust in it and believe.

John the Baptist's ministry was such that many thought He was the Light, but he declared that he was not and only sent to bear witness of that Light. This would be the true light, the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light that would illuminate every person. According to Isaiah 40:5, He would be the Glory of the LORD revealed, for all flesh to see.

This one who John spoke of, that was greater than him and would come after him, was the Creator of all things, by His pre-incarnation work. However, while in the creation of the world made by Him, the people did not know Him, even after John had introduced Him. The Great One whom the prophet was sent before, was not welcomed or received by those that He was specifically sent to, and should have known Him.

In this our day, we have had the same thing repeat. On the Ohio river in 1932, a light appeared over the head of William Branham while he was in the water, and the following is his account of what happened.

55-0117 HOW.THE.ANGEL.CAME.TO.ME.AND.HIS.COMMISSION_ CHICAGO.IL - I was baptizing down on the river, my first converts, at the Ohio River, and the seventeenth person I was baptizing, as I started to baptize, then I said, "Father, as I baptize him with water, You baptize him with the Holy Spirit." I started to put him under the water.

And just then a whirl come from the heavens above, and here come that Light, shining down. Hundreds and hundreds of people on the bank, right at two o'clock in the afternoon, in June. And It hung right over where I was at. A Voice spoke from there, and said, "As John the Baptist was sent for the forerunner of the first coming of Christ, you've got a... have a Message that will bring forth the forerunning of the Second Coming of Christ." And it liked to scared me to death.

Unquote: If that part has been fulfilled, than will the fulfillment of his ministry, to introduced Christ second coming, not be receive? There is a parallel with this coming of Elijah as it was with John.

There will be those that will believe Christ's fullness has come among us, maybe just a few, as it was in that first coming of Christ.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

There was a man sent from God... What a statement, but more importantly, do we believe His message, Christ the fullness of the Word has come?

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATATU - FEBRUARI 26, 2024
Ezekieli 9:4 BWANA akamwambia, Pita kati ya mji, kati ya Yerusalemu, ukatie alama katika vipaji vya nyuso za watu wanaougua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo yote yanayofanywa kati yao. yake.
Kulikuwa na tofauti kubwa sana kwa wale wanaougua na kulia kwa sababu ya dhambi katika ardhi na wale ambao hawakufanya, na ALAMA iliyobainisha tofauti hiyo.

Alama ilikuwa ishara, kwetu sisi leo, na mfano. Sawa na; kunyunyizwa kwa damu ya mwana-kondoo wa pasaka kwenye kizingiti cha juu na miimo ya milango ya Waisraeli na ilikuwa, taarifa kwa malaika mwenye kuharibu nyumba ambayo angeacha. Hili lilimjia Mtume kwa njozi bila tafsiri. Katika hukumu za Mungu, atafanya tofauti kati ya wasio na hatia na wenye hatia, kati ya ukweli na uongo.

55-0312 THE.SEAL.OF.THE.CHRIST_ LOS.ANGELES.CA - Ninataka kukuuliza jambo. Kama Malaika yeye yule alikuja kwenye mji, ambao ulikuwa ni Roho Mtakatifu, amevaa mavazi meupe, kama usafi Wake. Kama Malaika huyo angekuja kwenye mji huu usiku wa leo na kupitia katika makanisa ya Kipentekoste, ambapo ulimwenguni angepata watu wanaougua, na kulia, na kuomba usiku kucha katika maombi kwa ajili ya chukizo linalofanywa mjini. Angetia alama nani? Tutajua ni nani aliye na Roho Mtakatifu hivi karibuni. Kuugua na kulia ... - WMB

59-0412E NINI.SIKILIZA.ELIYA_ LOS.ANGELES.CA SUNDAY_
Na unajua, kama nilivyosema hivi majuzi usiku, watu, afadhali tuchunguze tukio letu. Kwa maana Roho Mtakatifu atawapaka tu katika siku za mwisho wale wanaougua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo yanayofanyika mjini.
Leo tunaweza kupiga kelele; tunaweza kupiga kelele; tunaweza kunena kwa lugha, kuwa na ishara na kadhalika, lakini uko wapi unyofu huo wa unyofu sana kuhusu Neno la Mungu na ka—Kanisa la Mungu mpaka inahuzunisha mioyo yetu kuona dhambi ikiendelea. Na Eliya alikuwa ameingia katika haya yote. - WMB

64-0830M MASWALI.NA.MAJIBU.3_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD SUNDAY_
Kupumua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo yanayofanywa mjini... Unaona wapi hilo? Ninaweza kukuonyesha elfu kumi wakinena kwa lugha kwa yule ambaye kweli amelemewa na dhambi... Hiyo haiwezi hata kuomba saa moja. Lakini unajua Biblia ilisema waweke alama wale tu waliougua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo ya mjini? Ni wangapi wamewahi kuisoma? Hakika. Huyo alikuwa ni Roho Mtakatifu aliyetokea kuwatia watu alama, na kumwambia Malaika mwenye kuharibu, “Nenda ukaharibu kila kitu ambacho hakina alama hiyo juu yao.” Na alama ya Mungu ni Roho Mtakatifu; ni Muhuri wa Mungu.
Sasa, wako wapi hao watu wanaopendezwa hivyo? Ninaweza kuwaonyesha watu wanaoruka-ruka na kulia kanisani; Ninaweza kuwaonyesha watu wanaopiga kelele na kukimbia katika jengo lote; Ninaweza kuwaonyesha watu wanaotabiri, na ikawa; Ninaweza kuwaonyesha wale wanaonena kwa lugha, na—na kukimbia huku na huko kwenye majengo, na kusema mambo ambayo hakika yanafasiri na yanatimia; lakini yuko wapi mtu huyo anayeugua na kulia kwa ajili ya machukizo yanayofanywa mjini? Iko wapi hiyo roho iliyolemewa? Unaweza kuwasha majani mapya kwenye hiyo. Unaona ninachomaanisha? - WMB

Ninapenda kile Charles Spurgeon alisema kuhusiana na hili: "Kuugua kwetu na kulia ni uthibitisho wa maisha ya mbinguni na wokovu."

Kuugua na kulia ni hatua ya mwisho ya hukumu. Na wala si sauti kubwa, hasira, na kudai mabadiliko kwa wale wanaokataa ukweli na isipokuwa waongo. Lakini kama ilivyokuwa kwa Kristo, hukumu yake kwa wale waliomkataa kwenye Mlima wa Mizeituni haikuwa kubwa na hasira, bali upatanisho. Hakukuwa na chochote cha kufanya. Je, hiyo ndiyo hali ya KANISA leo? Tofauti ni kuwekwa alama wazi, moja kwa ajili ya maisha hukumu nyingine.

Hili lilikuwa somo Jumapili asubuhi lenye kichwa "Kujua Ukweli na Kukataa Uongo" lililowekwa kwenye kumbukumbu kwenye tovuti ya kanisa letu.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - FEBRUARY 26, 2024

Ezek 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

There was a vast difference in those who sighed and cried because of the sin in the land and the ones that did not, and a MARK that identified the difference.

The mark was a sign, for us today, and a example. Similar to; the sprinkling of the blood of the paschal lamb on the lintels and door-posts of the Israelites and was, a notice to the destroying angel what house he should spare. This came to the Prophet in a vision without a translation. In God's judgments, He will make a difference between the innocent and the guilty, between the truth and the false.

55-0312 THE.SEAL.OF.THE.CHRIST_ LOS.ANGELES.CA - I want to ask you something. If that same Angel came to the city, which was the Holy Spirit, dressed in white, like to His purity. If that Angel come to this city tonight and went through the Pentecostal churches, where in the world would he find men that sighs, and cries, and begs all night long in prayer for the abomination that's done in the city. Who would he mark? We're going to find out who's got the Holy Ghost pretty soon. Sighing and crying... - WMB

59-0412E WHAT.HEAREST.THOU.ELIJAH_ LOS.ANGELES.CA SUNDAY_

And do you know, as I said the other night, people, we better check upon our experience. For the Holy Ghost is only going to anoint in the last days those who sigh and cry for the abomination that's did in the city.

Today we can shout; we can scream; we can speak with tongues, have signs and things, but where is that sincerity of so sincere about the Word of God and the--the Church of God until it grieves our heart to see sin going on. And Elijah had come into all of this. - WMB

64-0830M QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.3_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD SUNDAY_

The sigh and cry for the abominations that's did in the city... Where do you see that? I can show you ten thousand speaking in tongues to one that's really burdened for sin... That can't even pray a hour. But did you know the Bible said to mark only those who sighed and cried for the abominations in the city? How many ever read it? Sure. That was the Holy Spirit come forth to mark the people, and said to the destroying Angel, "Go forth and destroy everything that doesn't have that mark upon them." And the mark of God is the Holy Ghost; is a Seal of God.

Now, where is them people that's that interested? I can show you people that jump up-and-down and cry in a church; I can show you people that shout and run all over the building; I can show you people that prophesy, and it comes to pass; I can show you those who speak in tongues, and--and run up and down the buildings, and say things that actually interpret and it comes to pass; but where is that person that sighs and cries for the abominations that's did in the city? Where's that burdened soul? You could turn some new leaves on that. See what I mean? - WMB

I like what Charles Spurgeon said in regards to this: "Our very sighing and crying are proofs of heavenly life and salvation."

To sigh and cry, is the final stage of condemnation. And is not loud, angry, and demanding change to those that reject truth and except the false. But as it was with Christ, his condemnation to those that rejected him on the Mount of Olives was not loud and angry, but atoning. There was nothing left to do. Is that the condition of the CHURCH today? The difference is to be clearly marked, one for life the other judgment.

This was the subject Sunday morning titled "Knowing the Truth & Rejecting the False" archived on our church website.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - IJUMAA - FEBRUARI 23, 2024
Ni nani aliyepewa dhamana ya kusema kwa niaba ya Mungu na kubeba Maneno yake - katika Biblia? Kwa kujua hili, tutajua ni nani Anayeweza kumwamini kufanya vivyo hivyo leo.
Agano la Kale: Waamuzi wa Israeli walikuwa wa ajabu sana, lakini chaguo la Mungu ambalo lilionyesha unabii, "si kwa uwezo, wala si kwa nguvu, bali kwa Roho yangu, asema BWANA." Othnieli, mwana wa Ehudi, ndugu mdogo wa Kalebu, aliyekuwa na mkono wa kushoto, Shamgari mkulima, Debora mwanamke, na Gideoni aliyejificha ndani ya shinikizo la divai. Orodha ya hakuna mtu, hakuna kubwa kati yao.
Agano Jipya: Wanafunzi wa Kristo, watu wa kawaida, kwa kweli chini ya kawaida. Walianzisha kanisa Lake. Je, walilazimika kuwa na mavazi bora zaidi, usafiri bora zaidi, majengo ya kanisa maridadi zaidi na vifaa vya kisasa zaidi vya kielektroniki ili kutimiza kazi yao? Je, iliwabidi wawe watumbuizaji, wakitokeza maonyesho, ili wawe mashahidi wa Kristo? Mkuu wao, kama Mtume Paulo, hakuwa na hata koti kwa majira ya baridi.

Je, waliwezeshwaje na BWANA ili wawe mashahidi katika utume wao wa kwanza?
Mathayo 10:7 Na katika kuenenda kwenu, hubirini, mkisema, Ufalme wa mbinguni umekaribia. 8 Pozeni wagonjwa, fufueni wafu, takaseni wenye ukoma, toeni pepo; mmepokea bure, toeni bure. 9 Msichukue dhahabu, wala fedha, wala shaba mishipini mwenu, 10 wala mkoba wa safari, wala kanzu mbili, wala viatu, wala fimbo;

Vipi leo? Vipi kuhusu wale wanaosimama nyuma ya mimbara? Vipi kuhusu mwamini wa kawaida katika Kristo, je, anaweza kusema kwa niaba ya Mungu? Je, kuna yeyote anayeweza kuaminiwa kusema kwa niaba ya Mungu na kubeba Maneno yake katika ulimwengu tunaoishi leo?

Ninaamini, ninaweza kusema kimaandiko, na kwa sauti kubwa - NDIYO, Mungu anao wengi duniani, na WAMEWEZESHWA kikamilifu kuwa shahidi katika ulimwengu ambao umejaa kutoamini. Imeandikwa katika RED - Matendo 1:8 Lakini mtapokea nguvu, akiisha kuwajilia juu yenu Roho Mtakatifu; nanyi mtakuwa mashahidi wangu katika Yerusalemu, na katika Uyahudi wote, na Samaria, na hata mwisho. sehemu ya dunia.
Kama umetiwa muhuri na hilo, basi unayo Sauti inayoweza kuaminiwa kunena kwa ajili ya Mungu. Baadhi nyuma ya mimbara, wengine kwa marafiki na familia na katika maisha yote unayoishi kwa onyesho la Ishara.

Kila Enzi ya Kanisa imekuwa ni kielelezo sawa -

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 23, 2024

Who was given the trust to speak for God and to carry His Words - in the Bible? By knowing this, we will know who He can trust to do the same today.

The Old Testament: The Judges of Israel were a strange lot, but God's choice which illustrated the prophecy, "not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD." Othniel, the son of Caleb's younger brother, Ehud, left-handed, Shamgar a farmer, Deborah a woman, and Gideon who hid himself in a winepress. A list of nobody's, no great ones among them.

The New Testament: The disciples of Christ, ordinary men, in-fact less than ordinary. They established His church. Did they have to have the best clothes, best transportation, most beautiful church buildings and the latest electronic equipment in order to fulfill their commission? Did they have to be entertainers, producing a show, in order to be a witness of Christ? The greatest of them, like the Apostle Paul, didn't even have a coat for winter.

How were they equipped by the LORD to be a witness at their first commission?

Matt 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

What about today? What about those that stand behind the pulpit? What about the ordinary believer in Christ, can he or she speak for God? Can anyone be trusted to speak for God and carry His Words to the world we live in today?

I believe, I can scripturally say, and with a resounding - YES, God has many in the world, and they are fully EQUIPPED to be a witness in a world that is saturated with unbelief. It is wrote in RED - Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

If you are sealed by that, then you have a Voice that can be trusted to speak for God. Some behind the pulpit, others to friends and family and all through the life you live by the Token display.

Every Church Age it has been the same pattern -

A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES

"That is the reason for all preaching and teaching, for it is in the preaching and teaching of the Word that the sheep hear the voice of God and follow Him." - WMB

That encourages me!

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - ALHAMISI - FEBRUARI 22, 2024
Kanisa la Filadelfia linaendelea hadi Laodikia au wakati wa Kipentekoste wa kanisa. Kuna "lapover."
Wakati wa Filadelfia (upendo wa kindugu) ulikuwa ni wakati mkuu wa kimishenari (Ufunuo 3:7-8) - baada ya wakati ule wa wamisionari wakuu, pamoja na Whitefield, Wesley, Finney, Sankey, na Moody, inafika kwenye wakati wa Kipentekoste; Aliweka mlango wazi mbele ya kanisa. Ni katikati tu ya Wakati wa Filadelfia na Walaodikia, ufukara. Mlango uliofunguliwa ni Kristo - kila mmoja alifanya sehemu yake, kwa kile alichokuwa nacho. Sasa ni ushuhuda wa Roho Mtakatifu - Ishara. KWA HIYO, wakati huu (wakati wa mwisho) ni mwendelezo wa wakati huo, kwa mlango uliofunguliwa - Kristo.
Je, sisi pia tunashuhudia nani na ni nani anayeweza kushuhudia? Hakuna mtu aliye na kazi yoyote ya kuwa shahidi bila Roho Mtakatifu (Matendo 1:8). Na ni nani tunayeshuhudia - je, tunaenda kwenye vituo vikuu vya ujasiri vya ulimwengu? Nadhani sivyo.

61-0311 BE.NOT.AFRAID_ RICHMOND.VA SATURDAY_
Mhudumu fulani alikutana nami si muda mrefu uliopita, mtu mashuhuri sana, Doctor of Divinity. Akasema, “Ndugu Branham, mikutano yako inapaswa kugusa sehemu kuu za neva.” Kasema, “Ungeweza kufika mahali kama New York City na—na hivyo, mahali pakubwa sana.” Na kusema, “Tuna ndege zetu wenyewe na (kanisa hili la kimadhehebu),” na kusema, “tutawasafirisheni kwa ndege kote ulimwenguni, tukipiga tu mahali pa juu na vituo vya fahamu.”
PIA ANAENDELEA KUSEMA...
Nikasema, “Sikiliza. Mungu, Yesu alipokuja, Yeye kamwe hakugonga viini vya neva. Alikuja kwa wateule. Huduma yangu ni kwa waliochaguliwa. Nikasema, “Ninachofanya, ninaongozwa kufanya. Na sijali kuhusu mishipa ya fahamu. - WMB

Usinukuu: Sio wangapi wanaotusikia, bali wanaosikia (Ufunuo 3:22). Sio wingi, lakini ubora. Hiyo itakuwa roho ya kimadhehebu - nambari ("milioni zaidi katika 44"). Ninaweza kuongeza, ubora, si sawa na lile linaloitwa kanisa linatazamiwa. Ni kuishi kile unachoamini na kuhubiri - "BWANA yuaja upesi!"

Hii ndiyo sababu Wateule wa Mungu kimsingi wameundwa na mambo ya kipumbavu ya dunia, wanyonge wa dunia na si wenye nguvu na wakuu, ili kuwaaibisha wenye hekima. Hii ndiyo sababu Mungu alikuchagua wewe na mimi. Utukufu wetu, ni utukufu katika BWANA tu. Ni UTUKUFU wake na si wetu wenyewe, ambao tunapaswa kuwa mashahidi!

1 Wakorintho 1:26 Ndugu, angalieni mwito wenu, ya kwamba si wengi wenye hekima ya kimwili walioitwa, si wengi wenye uwezo, si wengi wenye vyeo; na Mungu alivichagua vitu dhaifu vya dunia ili aviaibishe vyenye nguvu; 28 Mungu alivichagua vitu duni vya dunia na vinavyodharauliwa, naam, vitu ambavyo haviko, ili avibatilishe vile vilivyoko, 29 ili mtu awaye yote asijisifu mbele zake.

Nilifurahia kuhubiri juu ya somo hili Jumatano usiku - "MIMI NI SHAHIDI." Imehifadhiwa kwenye tovuti yetu ya kanisa.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 22, 2024

The Philadelphian church continues into the Laodicea or Pentecostal age of the church. There is a "lapover."

The Philadelphian age (brotherly love) was a great missionary age (Revelation 3:7-8) - after that age of great missionary's, with Whitefield, Wesley, Finney, Sankey, and Moody, it comes down to the Pentecostal age; He set a open door before the church. It's just in-between the Philadelphian and the Laodicean age, a lapover. The open door is Christ - each did their part, with what they had. Now it is the witness of the Holy Ghost - Token. SO, this age (the last age) is a continuation of that age, by the open door - Christ.

Who do we witness too and who can witness? No one has any business being a witness without the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8). And who do we witness - do we go to the great nerve centers of the world? I think not.

61-0311 BE.NOT.AFRAID_ RICHMOND.VA SATURDAY_

A certain minister met me not long ago, a very outstanding man, Doctor of Divinity. He said, "Brother Branham, your meetings should hit the great nerve centers." Said, "You could hit the places like New York City and--and so, great big places." And said, "We've got our own planes and (this denominational church)," and said, "we'll fly you around the world, just hitting the high places and the nerve centers."

ALSO HE GOES ON TO SAY...

I said, "Listen. God, when Jesus came, He never hit the nerve centers. He came to the elected. My ministry is to the elected." I said, "What I do, I am led to do. And I don't care about nerve centers. I go where the Lord leads me." - WMB

Unquote: It is not how many that hears us, but who hears (Revelation 3:22). It is not quantity, but quality. That would be a denominational spirit - numbers ("a million more in 44"). I might add, the quality, is not the same as the so called church is looking for. It is living what you believe and preach - "the LORD is coming soon!"

This is why the Elect of God is primarily made-up of foolish things of the world, the weak of the world and not the mighty and noble, to confound the wise. This is why God chose you and I. Our glory, is to glory only in the LORD. It is His GLORY and not our own, which we are to be a Witness!

1 Cor 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

I enjoyed preaching on this subject Wednesday night - "I AM A WITNESS." Archived on our church website.

Matendo 1:8 Lakini mtapokea nguvu, akiisha kuwajilia juu yenu Roho Mtakatifu; nanyi mtakuwa mashahidi wangu katika Yerusalemu, na katika Uyahudi wote, na Samaria, na hata mwisho wa nchi.
Kabla ya kupaa Kwake, agizo la mwisho la Yesu kwa wafuasi wake lilikuwa kupokea Roho Mtakatifu na kwa hilo kuwa SHAHIDI wa Kristo. Aliendelea kuwaambia wangemshuhudia wapi au nani.

Tunafikiri juu ya nguvu kuu na karama ambazo ziliwekwa katika kanisa la Mitume kwa kuanzia. Lakini tusipuuze jambo la kwanza ambalo BWANA wetu alisema Nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu, katika kanisa, zingefanya - "mtakuwa mashahidi wangu katika Yerusalemu, na katika Uyahudi wote, na Samaria, na hata mwisho. ya ardhi." Hii inajumuisha wanaume, wanawake, wavulana na wasichana - wote ambao wamepokea Nguvu hii, Roho ya Mungu ambayo kwayo tunazaliwa katika Mwili wa Kristo (1 Wakorintho 12:13).
Ni nani wanaopaswa kushuhudia, na ni nani pia tunapaswa kushuhudia? Ni nani kwa kweli atapokea ukweli wa Injili ambao umefunuliwa katika wakati huu wa mwisho wa kanisa? Ni muhimu kujua, kwa sababu kuwa shahidi hakika ni ushahidi kwamba Roho Mtakatifu anakaa ndani yako, na kwamba wewe ni Mwamini.

Sio wangapi wanaosikia ukweli huo, lakini ni nani.

BWANA akipenda, hili litakuwa somo usiku wa leo katika ibada yetu ya Jumatano jioni katika Living Word Tabernacle - inayotiririshwa moja kwa moja kwenye tovuti ya kanisa letu. Natumaini unaweza kuwepo kimwili katika kutaniko, kuwa sehemu ya kanisa la mtaa.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Before His ascension, Jesus' last commission to his followers was to receive the Holy Ghost and by that become a WITNESS of Christ. He went on to tell them where or whom they were to witness.

We think about the great power and the gifts that was placed in the Apostolic church to begin with. But let us not neglect the first thing our LORD said the Power of the Holy Ghost, in the church, would do - "ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This includes men, women, boys and girls - all that have received this Power, the Spirit of God whereby we are born into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13).

Who should witness, and who should we witness too? Who will really receive the Gospel truth that has been revealed in this final age of the church? It is important to know, because to be a witness is certainly a evidence that the Holy Spirit is resident within you, and that you are a Believer.

It is not how many that hear that truth, but who.

The LORD willing, this will be the subject tonight in our Wednesday evenings service at Living Word Tabernacle - live streamed on our church website. I hope you can be physically present in the congregation, to be a part with the local church.

Nimekuwa nikihubiri hivi majuzi juu ya Imani ya Kunyakuliwa, wakati wa umakini wa "Mambo Manne ya Kutokea Kabla ya Unyakuo." Na kwa njia, niliweza kumaliza somo hili Jumapili asubuhi. Walakini, sidhani kama ningeweza kumaliza mawazo haya, yanaendelea kurudi akilini mwangu. Nashangaa, je, inaweza kuwa, kwamba hivi karibuni tutaona utimilifu wa tumaini hili kuu la kanisa.

Neno Kunyakuliwa halikutajwa katika Biblia, lakini somo linazungumzwa katika sehemu nyingi. Katika Ufunuo 4, kufuatia nyakati za kanisa, Yohana, anayewakilisha kanisa lililonyakuliwa, anaitwa; Ufunuo 4:1 Baada ya hayo nikaona, na tazama, mlango umefunguliwa mbinguni; na ile sauti ya kwanza niliyoisikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya tarumbeta, ikisema nami; iliyosema, NJOO HAPA, nami nitakuonyesha mambo ambayo hayana budi kuwako baadaye.

Pia; 1 Wathesalonike 4:17, 1 Wakorintho 15:51-53, Luka 17:34-37.

Itakuwaje, ukizingatia ni siri kubwa? Kunyakuliwa kwetu ni kwa imani, na imani ni ufunuo. Itachukua imani zaidi kuliko imani kwa uponyaji wa kiungu; 1 Wakorintho 15:50 Basi, ndugu zangu, nisemayo, ya kuwa nyama na damu haziwezi kuurithi ufalme wa Mungu; wala uharibifu kurithi kutokuharibika. Tazama, ninawaonyesha ninyi siri; Hatutalala sote, lakini sote tutabadilishwa, 52 kwa dakika moja, kufumba na kufumbua, wakati wa parapanda ya mwisho;

Itahitaji IMANI ZAIDI kubadilishwa; Wengine wanaweza kuuliza; "Tutapataje hiyo IMANI ZAIDI?" Itakuwa pale unapoihitaji. Na hilo litakuwa Neno la Mungu likifanyika kuwa hakika yetu kabisa - si mambo mengine ambayo tunafanya mamlaka yetu kuu, katika kile tunachofanya, na kile tunachoamini. Kilele kile cha mwisho cha kuleta imani ambayo italinyakua Kanisa itakuwa ni ufunuo; Zab 27:5 Maana wakati wa taabu atanificha katika hema yake, Katika siri ya hema yake atanificha; atanisimamisha juu ya MWAMBA.

Yesu alimwambia Petro, MWAMBA ambao kanisa limejengwa juu yake ni UFUNUO, hiyo ndiyo Imani yetu ya Unyakuo.

Matt 16:17 Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Heri wewe Simoni Baryona; kwa kuwa mwili na damu havikukufunulia hili, bali Baba yangu aliye mbinguni.

Nami nataka ninyi mjengwe sasa katika…haya Maandiko Matakatifu ya Mungu, katika Imani, Imani ya wakati huu. Imani! Itachukua imani zaidi kuliko ilivyokuwa katika wakati wo wote, kwa maana hii haina budi kuwa ni imani ya kunyakuliwa, kunyakuliwa. - William Branham

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 20, 2024

I have been preaching lately on Rapturing Faith, during the serious on "Four Things to Happen Before the Rapture." And by the way, I was able to finish this subject Sunday morning. However, I do not think I could ever finish these thoughts, they keep coming back into my mind. I wonder, could it be, that we will soon see the fulfillment of this great hope of the church.

The Word Rapture is not mentioned in the Bible, but the subject is spoke in many places. In Revelation's 4, following the church ages, John, representing the raptured church, is called; Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, COME UP HITHER, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Also; 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, Luke 17:34-37.

How will that be, considering it is a great mystery? Our rapture is by faith, and faith is a revelation. It will take more faith than faith for divine healing; 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

It will take MORE FAITH to be changed; Some might ask; "How will we get that MORE FAITH?" It will be there when you need it. And that will be the Word of God becoming fully our absolute - not other things that we make our supreme authority, in what we do, and what we believe. That final climax to bring forth faith that will Rapture the Church will be a revelation; Ps 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a ROCK.

Jesus told Peter, the ROCK the church is built on is REVELATION, that is our Rapturing Faith.

Matt 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not REAVEALED it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I want you to get built up now in the... this Holy Oracles of God, in the Faith, the Faith of this hour. The Faith! It's going to take more faith than ever was in any age, for this has to be rapturing faith, be taken up. - William Branham

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATATU - FEBRUARI 19, 2024
Mambo manne ninaamini lazima yatokee kabla ya Kunyakuliwa kwa Kanisa (Bibi-arusi wa Kristo). Wao ni kama ifuatavyo; 1) Samaki wa mwisho lazima avuliwe kutoka bwawani (mwamini wa mwisho kuletwa zizini), 2) Bibi-arusi wa Kristo lazima atambue nafasi yake, yeye ni nani, 3) Lazima tuwe na imani zaidi, "Imani ya Unyakuo" ili kubadilika kwa dakika moja na kufumba na kufumbua, na mwisho, 4) Mateso ya Bibi-arusi, KUNIKANYA.

Jumapili (2-18-2024) nilimaliza somo hili kwa "Mateso ya Bibi arusi (The Squeeze)". Je, kubana itakuwa nini? Neno kuminya hapa linatumiwa kumaanisha mkazo unaowekwa juu yetu, jambo linalotusukuma kutenda, kwa ajili ya au kulipinga Neno la Mungu. Petro aliwekwa chini ya shinikizo akiota moto na kumkana BWANA.
Wengi wanatazamia mateso makubwa, kama ilivyokuwa kwa Wakristo wa mapema au mfano uliotokea wakati wa enzi za giza. Walakini, kubana kwetu kutakuwa kwa hila zaidi na kudanganya kama ilivyokuwa kwa Hawa kwenye bustani. Itakuwa katika “eneo la kikanisa” (Sikukuu ya Baragumu), roho ya kanisa ikileta mateso juu ya Bibi-arusi. Hii itakuwa roho ya udini (Ufunuo 13:14-18). Wengi wataanguka kwa hiari, bila kutambua roho ambayo wamejiingiza.

Ndugu Branham, je, Bibi-arusi atapitia mateso kama kanisa la kwanza la mitume lilivyofanya?
“La, nimeeleza hayo dakika chache zilizopita. La, jambo linalofuata ni kunyakuliwa sasa. Kumbuka, tuko kwenye nchi ya ahadi; tuko mpakani. - WMB

Unquote: Bibi-arusi wa Kristo anasukumwa hadi ukamilifu wake kwa NENO lililofunuliwa. Hiyo inanitia moyo.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - FEBRUARY 19, 2024

Four things I believe must happen before the Rapture of the Church (Bride of Christ). They are as follows; 1) The last fish must be caught from the pond (the last believer brought into the fold), 2) The Bride of Christ must recognize her place, who she is, 3) We must have more faith, "Rapturing Faith" to be changed in a moment and a twinkling of an eye, and lastly, 4) The Bride's persecution, the SQUEEZE.

Sunday (2-18-2024) I finished this subject with the "Bride's Persecution (The Squeeze)". What will the squeeze be? The term squeeze here is used to mean a pressure put upon us, something that presses us to act, for or against, God's Word. Peter was put under pressure warming himself by the wrong fire and denied the LORD.

Many are looking for a great persecution, as was with the early Christian's or the type that occurred during the dark ages. However, our squeeze will be more subtle and deceiving as it was with Eve in the garden. It will be in the "ecclesiastical realm" (Feast of the Trumpets), a church spirit bringing a persecution upon the Bride. This will be the spirit of denominationalism (Revelation 13:14-18). Many will fall for it willingly, not realizing the spirit they have succumbed to.

64-0823M QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.1_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD SUNDAY_

Brother Branham, will the Bride go through the persecution as the early apostolic church did?

"No, I just explained that a few minutes ago. No, next thing is a rapture now. Remember, we're at the promised land; we're at the border. You understand the march of Israel?" - WMB

Unquote: The Bride of Christ is pressed to her perfection by the revealed WORD. That encourages me.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - IJUMAA - FEBRUARI 16, 2024
Je, imewahi kudhihirika kwako kwamba Mungu ana mwenzake? Mwenza ni yule ambaye andiko lilimwita Hawa Bibi-arusi wa Adamu. Mwa 2:18 "BWANA Mungu akasema, Si vema huyo mtu awe peke yake, nitamfanyia msaidizi wa kufanana naye." "Mkutano wa Msaada" huu ulikuwa unafaa, unaosaidiana kama mwenza wake, katika mambo yote kama na sawa naye.

Muda mrefu kabla ya Mungu kuwa Mungu, kwa sababu hapakuwa na mtu wa kumwabudu, alikaa peke yake, na mawazo yake. Alipaswa kuwa na mawazo ya UPENDO zaidi ya kitu chochote tungeweza kufahamu, kwa sababu Biblia inatuambia kwamba ndivyo Yeye alivyo. Yeye si Mungu tu anayependa kama kivumishi au kitenzi, lakini nomino (1 Yohana 4:8).

Kwa hiyo, UPENDO ambao Mungu ni haungeweza kuwepo mpaka kuwe na mtu wa kumpenda na ambaye angempenda kwa hiari. Mtu hawezi kupenda bila mwingine. Hatuwezi KUPENDA peke yetu. Kwa hiyo Alimuumba mwanadamu, si kwa sababu tu Hakuwa na kitu kingine cha kufanya, bali kwa sababu Alitaka, Alitamani, na akatamani Mwenza WAKE, "kusaidiwe" ambaye anafaa na anayekamilishana na katika vitu vyote kama na sawa na YEYE.

Alifananisha jambo hilo katika Adamu na Hawa, lile ambalo lingetimizwa katika Bibi-arusi wa wakati wa mwisho juu ya dunia. Kama kundi la Waumini Wakristo, tunajiita Bibi-arusi wa Kristo. Je, wewe? Je, wewe ni kikamilishi katika mambo yote kama na sawa naye, ambaye alituweka kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya Ulimwengu kwa kusudi hili.
Mtume Paulo alielewa hili, akiandikia Kanisa la Mataifa; 2 Wakorintho 11:2 "Kwa maana nawaonea wivu, wivu wa Mungu; kwa maana naliwaposea mume mmoja, ili nimletee Kristo bikira safi."

SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.KITABU CPT.4
"Sasa kulingana na Neno la Mungu, Bibi-arusi alichaguliwa kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu. Kuchaguliwa huku kwa bibi-arusi kulikusudiwa ndani Yake mwenyewe. Waefeso 1:9 - na katika Warumi 9:11 inasema; "Hilo kusudi la Mungu. kulingana na uchaguzi inaweza kusimama."
Huwezi kuisoma kwa njia nyingine yoyote. Kusudi la moyo, kusudi la milele la Mungu lilikuwa kumtwaa bibi-arusi aliyemchagua MWENYEWE, na kusudi hilo lilikuwa ndani Yake Mwenyewe, na kuwa wa milele kuliamriwa kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu.
Tazama kwa makini sasa uone hili. Kabla hapajakuwa na chembe ya vumbi la nyota; kabla Mungu hajawa Mungu (Mungu ni kitu cha kuabudiwa na hakuna mtu aliyekuwa pale kumwabudu, kwa hiyo Yeye alikuwa wakati huo kwa uwezekano tu kuwa ni Mungu.) Naye alijulikana tu kama Roho wa Milele, bibi-arusi alikuwa tayari akilini Mwake. Ndiyo, alikuwa. Alikuwepo katika mawazo Yake. Na vipi kuhusu mawazo hayo ya Mungu? Ni za milele, sivyo?" - WMB

Unquote: Hii ndiyo sababu taasisi ya ndoa ni takatifu sana, na ikiwa ni ya Mungu, ni ya milele. Ya asili yanafananisha ya Kiroho. Waefeso 5:32 "Siri hii ni kubwa; lakini mimi nanena habari za Kristo na kanisa."

Ni muhimu jinsi gani, katika uhusiano huu wa asili na wa mbinguni kwa kila mmoja wetu kuwa katika nafasi au nafasi aliyoiweka Mungu.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 16, 2024

Has it ever dawned on you that God has a counterpart? A counterpart is what the scripture called Eve the Bride of Adam. Gen 2:18 "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." This "helpmeet" was one that is suitable, complementary as a counterpart of himself, in all things like and equal to him.

Long before God was God, because there was no one to worship Him, He dwelled alone, with His thoughts. He had to have thoughts of LOVE beyond anything we could comprehend, because the Bible tells us that is what He is. He is not just God that loves as an adjective or a verb, but a noun (I John 4:8).

Therefore, the LOVE that God is could not exist until there was someone to love and that would freely love Him. One cannot love without another. We cannot LOVE alone. Therefore He created mankind, not just because He had nothing else to do, but because He wanted, He longed for, and desired HIS counterpart, "help meet" one that is suitable and complementary and in all things like and equal to HIM.

He typed it in Adam and Eve, that which would be fulfilled it in a end time Bride upon the earth. As a group of Christian Believers, we call ourselves the Bride of Christ. Are you? Are you complementary in all things like and equal to Him, that ordained us before the foundation of the World for this purpose.

The Apostle Paul understood this, writing to the Gentile Church; 2 Corinthians 11:2 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ."

SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

"Now according to the Word of God, the bride was chosen before the foundation of the world. This choosing of the bride was purposed in Himself. Ephesians 1:9 - and in Romans 9:11 it says; "That the purpose of God according to election might stand."

You can't read it any other way. The heart purpose, the eternal purpose of God was to take a bride of His OWN choosing, and that purpose was in Himself, and being eternal was decreed before the foundation of the world.

Watch carefully now and see this. Before there was ever a speck of star dust; before God was God (God is an object of adoration and no one was there to worship Him, so He was at that time only potentially God.) and He was known only as eternal Spirit, the bride was already in His mind. Yes, she was. She was existing in His thoughts. And what about those thoughts of God? They are eternal, are they not?" - WMB

Unquote: This is why the institute of marriage is so sacred, and if it is of God, it is eternal. The natural types the Spiritual. Ephesians 5:32 "This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." How important, in this natural and heavenly relationship for each of us to be in our - God ordained place or position.

Jana taifa hili lilisherehekea Siku ya Wapendanao kwa maua mengi na peremende. Je, kuna "siku" inayoitwa upendo. Kwa kweli hakuna, hata hivyo, kuna mtu anayeitwa UPENDO. Na kuna hadithi ya kweli ya Mahaba ya Kiungu kati Yake na Bibi-arusi Wake, na imeandikwa katika kurasa za hadithi kuu ya upendo iitwayo Biblia. Kwa kweli, mimi ni sehemu ya hadithi ya UPENDO, kama mshiriki wa Bibi-arusi wa Yesu Kristo.
Ni Kifungo chenye nguvu cha UPENDO ambacho hakiwezi kuvunjwa kamwe, ni muungano unaofanywa kwanza mbinguni kwa kuamriwa na Mungu. Inalingana na uhusiano wa ndoa tulionao duniani, ndoa ya mwanamume na mwanamke ambayo pia imewekwa na Mungu, muungano ambao ndio wenye nguvu zaidi ya kifungo chochote kinachofanywa duniani.
Huanza na upendo wa kimahaba kati ya watu wawili ambao hupelekea familia, mmoja aliyeumbwa kwa sura ambayo Mungu alikusudia iwe.

Ni nini kinyume cha upendo? William Branham katika mahubiri yenye kichwa "Mkombozi wa Jamaa wa Karibu" alisema yafuatayo:

"Chuki ilikuwa na mwanzo kwa hiyo haina budi kuwa na mwisho. Upendo haukuwa na mwanzo, kwa hiyo hauna mwisho. Chuki ni ya milele. Upendo ni wa milele. Chuki huanza na chuki itakwisha. Upendo haujaanza na hautaisha" ?); ni ya milele. Na wakati mwanamume anapompenda mwanamke na kumwoa kwa sababu yeye ni mzuri tu, kutakuwa na mwisho wa hilo. Lakini wakati mwanamume akimpata mwanamke ambaye anampenda, hajui kwa nini, lakini anampenda ... Na anampata mwanaume anayempenda, haijalishi anaonekanaje ... Anampenda. Anampenda. Huyo ni mwenzi wa milele katika utukufu. Mauti wala hakuna kitu kingine kinachoweza kuwatenganisha. tangu milele, nao walitoka katika anga za wakati, na watarudi hata milele.Umilele umeshuka chini katika mwili uitwao wakati, kisha unarudi moja kwa moja hadi kwenye umilele tena.Hauwezi kuangamia.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 15, 2024

Yesterday this nation celebrated Valentine's Day with a lot of flowers and candy. Is there a "day" called love. Actually there is not, however, there is a person called LOVE. And there is a true story of a Divine Romance between Him and His Bride, and it is recorded in the pages of the great love story called the Bible. In fact, I am part of the LOVE story, as a member of the Bride of Jesus Christ.

It is a strong Bond of LOVE that can never be broken, it is a union made first in heaven by God's predestination. It corresponds with the marriage relationship we have on earth, a marriage of a man and woman which also is ordained by God, a union which is the strongest of any bond made on earth.

It begins with romantic love between two people which leads to a family, one made in the image that God intended it to be.

What is the opposite of love? William Branham in the sermon titled "The Kinsman Redeemer" said the following:

"Hatred had a beginning so it has to have an end. Love had no beginning, so it has no end. Hatred is forever. Love is eternal. Hatred begins and hatred will end. Love never did begin and it never will end (See?); it's eternal. And when a man loves a woman and marries her because she's just pretty, there'll be an end to that. But when a man finds a woman that he loves, he don't know why, but he loves her... And she finds the man that she loves, no matter what he looks like... He loves her. She loves him. That's an eternal mate in glory. Death nor nothing else can ever separate them. Because they are from eternity, and they stepped out into space of time, and will return back to eternity. Eternity has dropped down in a body called time, then it goes right back up into eternity again. It cannot perish. - WMB

Eph 4:11 Naye alitoa wengine kuwa mitume; na wengine manabii; na wengine kuwa wainjilisti; na wengine kuwa wachungaji na waalimu; 12 kwa kusudi la kuwakamilisha watakatifu hata kazi ya huduma itendeke...

Wakristo wanaoamini Biblia, amini Biblia. Ni Neno la Mungu lililovuviwa, na kuna karama za kuhudumu za wanadamu katika kanisa, wanaohubiri Neno (Biblia), kama ilivyotolewa, kwa ajili ya kuwakamilisha (kuwakamilisha kikamilifu) watakatifu. "Na wengine, ni WAINJILI."

Biblia inamwita Filipo, ambaye alikuwa mmoja wa mashemasi wa awali, katika Kanisa la Yerusalemu "Filipo mwinjilisti." Mwinjilisti huyu alifanya nini? Alikwenda katika mji wa Samaria AKAWAHUBIRI Kristo kwao (Matendo 8:5). Umati wa watu kwa nia moja wakasikiliza yale aliyoyasema Filipo. Na ufufuo mkuu ukatukia, baada ya kusikia Neno likihubiriwa.

Kisha alinyakuliwa kwa mtu mmoja jangwani, towashi Mwethiopia mwenye mamlaka kubwa ambaye alikuwa akisoma maandiko katika gari lake, ambayo yalisema juu ya Kristo (Isaya 53). Filipo akamwendea, akamwuliza, Je! unaelewa unayosoma katika ujumbe wa manabii? Jibu la Mwethiopia lilikuwa, "nitawezaje, ila MTU aniongoze?"

Matendo 8:35 Filipo AKAFUNGUA KINYWA CHAKE, akaanza katika andiko lilo hilo, akamhubiri habari njema za Yesu.

Mwinjili Filipo alikuwa na uamsho mkubwa na wengi huko Samaria na baadaye na mtu MMOJA katika jangwa la Gaza. Alikuwa mwinjilisti. Alikuwa ni karama ya huduma kwa kanisa, ambaye alihubiri Neno, Neno ambalo Nabii Isaya alinena tayari. Alihubiri kwa wengi au wachache kama Mungu alivyomwongoza.

Asante Ndugu Darrell kwa kujitoa kwa BWANA Yesu kama ulivyofanya siku zote. Mungu ni mwema sana kwetu, kutuma Watu Wenye Vipawa, waliohitimu Kibiblia kulijenga Kanisa.

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry...

Bible believing Christian's, believe the Bible. It is the inspired Word of God, and there are ministering gifts of men in the church, that preach the Word (Bible), as it has been given, for the perfecting (full equipping) of the saints. "And some, are EVANGELISTS."

The Bible calls Philip, who was one of the original deacons, in the Jerusalem Church "Philip the evangelist." What did this evangelist do? He went to the city of Samaria and PREACHED Christ to them (Acts 8:5). The people with one accord gave heed unto the things which Philip SPOKE to them. And a mighty revival took place, after hearing the Word preached.

He was then caught away to one man in the desert, a Ethiopian eunuch of great authority who was reading the scriptures in his chariot, which spoke of Christ (Isaiah 53). Philip came near and ask him, "do you understand what you are reading from the Prophets message?" The Ethiopian's response was, "how can I, except some MAN should guide me?"

Acts 8:35 Then Philip OPENED HIS MOUTH, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

Philip the evangelist had a great revival with many at Samaria and later with ONE person in the Gaza desert. He was an evangelist. He was a ministering gift to the church, who preached the Word, the Word the Prophet Isaiah hand already spoke. He preached to the many or the few as God led him.

The evangelist is a special man. He's a man that's burning like a fireball. He runs into a city and PREACHES his message, then gets out of there somewhere else. See, he's a special man. - WMB

At Living Word Tabernacle this Sunday we had a wonderful WINTER REVIVAL, with Evangelist Darrell Ward. I have known Brother Darrell since he was a young evangelist. He has stayed faithful to his calling. He has never changed with the blowing winds of change that have come through the years.

Thank you Brother Darrell for yielding to the LORD Jesus as you have always done. God is so good to us, to send Gifted Men, Biblically qualified to edify the Church.

Zab 85:6 Hutatuhuisha tena, Watu wako wakushangilie?
Neno FUFUA ndipo pengine tunapopata neno letu UAMSHO. Katika andiko hili ina maana ya kurudisha kile kilichokufa kuwa hai tena. Mfano ungekuwa wakati majira ya baridi huleta kifo kwa asili, kila kitu kilichokuwa kijani kimekuwa ukiwa. Lakini Majira ya Changamoto yatarudisha maisha ambayo hapo awali yalifanya kila kitu kuwa kizuri.

Katika mahubiri KWA NINI BAADHI YA WATU HAWAWEZI KUWEKA USHINDI, William Branham (1909-1965) alizungumza kuhusu kanisa kuwa na uamsho;

"Sasa, kanisa halihitaji kung'arisha. Haihitaji kuinuliwa uso. Linahitaji kuzaliwa. Linahitaji uongofu. Kitu lazima kitokee. Sio tu kuimarisha mipaka yetu, si kuleta washiriki wapya: a. uamsho si kupata wanachama wapya. Uamsho ni kufufua tulichonacho. Hicho ndicho tunachohitaji sana."

Aliendelea kuelezea uamsho kama upepo unaovuma kwenye ziwa kubwa na kusukuma kutoka chini kila kitu kisichopaswa kuwa hapo.

"Ni nini kinachofanya uamsho? Ni nini kinachofanya ziwa kuyumba? Ni kwa sababu kuna upepo unakuja. Hiyo ni kweli. Upepo unashuka kutoka mbinguni na kulipatia ufufuo. Hilo ndilo linalolifanya kanisa. Wakati upepo mkali, wa nguvu unakuja kutoka mbinguni. siku moja, ufufuo wa Kipentekoste ulizuka.Hilo ndilo tunalohitaji siku hizi, ni upepo mwingine unaovuma, wenye nguvu juu ya kanisa la Kipentekoste ili kuondoa imani ndogo na tofauti ndogo ndani yake, ili upendo wa Mungu upate haki ya njia. takataka zote nje kwenye kingo na kumsafisha, na tuanze tena."

Kanisa linahitaji uamsho.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 9, 2024

Ps 85:6 Will You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?

The word REVIVE is perhaps where we get our word REVIVAL. In this scripture it means to restore that which is dead back to life again. The example would be as the winter brings death to nature, everything that was green is now desolate. But the Springtime will bring back the life that once made everything beautiful.

In the sermon WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN'T KEEP THE VICTORY, William Branham (1909-1965) spoke of the church having a revival;

"Now, the church doesn't need a polishing. It doesn't need a facelifting. It needs a birth. It needs a conversion. Something's got to happen. Not just to strengthen our borders, not to bring in new members: a revival is not to get new members. A revival is to revive what we got. That's what we so badly need."

He went on to describe a revival as the wind blowing on a great lake and churning up from the bottom everything that should not be there.

"What makes the revival? What makes the lake churn? Is because there's a wind comes. That's right. The wind comes down from heaven and gives it a revival. That's what makes the church. When a rushing, mighty wind come from heaven, one day, a Pentecostal revival broke out. That's what we need today, is another rushing, mighty wind on the Pentecostal church to get the little isms and little differences out of it, so the love of God can have the right of way. Throw all the trash out on the banks and clean her out, and let's get started again."

I am looking forward to our winter revival services Sunday with Evangelist Darrell Ward. May it revive us again. Be in prayer for these services that it will bring a springtime of life among us.

Tito 2:11 Maana neema ya Mungu iwaokoayo wanadamu wote imefunuliwa, 12 nayo yatufundisha kukataa ubaya na tamaa za kidunia; tupate kuishi kwa kiasi, na haki, na utauwa, katika ulimwengu huu wa sasa; 13 tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na mafunuo ya utukufu wa Mungu mkuu na Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo.

Katika waraka wa kichungaji wa Mtume Paulo kwa Tito, anazungumza juu ya tumaini letu lenye baraka, ambalo ni ujio wa Kristo mara ya pili, ambalo tunajua litakamilisha kile tunachojua kuwa Unyakuo wa Kanisa.
Ni tumaini lenye baraka kama nini!

Taarifa; Unyakuo kwa ajili yetu, sio tu kutoroka kutoka kwa majaribu na shida za ulimwengu huu wa sasa. Tunaishi hapa kama waumini wa Kikristo, tukifanya mabadiliko katika ulimwengu tulio sehemu yake. Ni wako na uwepo wangu, ambao unashikilia ghadhabu ya Mungu mbali na ulimwengu huu unaokataa Mungu. Ndio maana bado tuko hapa. Bado kuna damu kwenye kiti cha rehema mbinguni ili kuwaokoa wengine kutoka katika ulimwengu huu mwovu. Na uwepo wetu ndio utakaoleta mabadiliko kwa mtu tunayempenda.
Kwa hiyo, furahia maisha ambayo BWANA amekuruhusu kuishi, na kuyafurahia kama mwana wa binti wa Mungu aliyekombolewa, mpaka atakapokuita nyumbani. Itastahili yote!
Neema ya Mungu ambayo imetuletea wokovu, inatufundisha KUISHI kwa haki na utauwa katika ulimwengu huu wa sasa. Na hiyo ni wakati tunatazamia tumaini hilo lenye baraka.

Jinsi nilivyofurahia kuhubiri juu ya somo hili jana usiku (Jumatano 2-7-2024) lenye kichwa, Baadhi Yetu Hatutakufa Kamwe (Mambo 4 yatatokea kabla ya kuja kwa BWANA). Imehifadhiwa kwenye tovuti yetu ya kanisa.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 8, 2024

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope , and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

In the Apostle Paul's pastoral letter to Titus, he speaks of our blessed hope, which is the coming of Christ the second time, which we know will consummate with what we know to be the Rapture of the Church.

What a blessed hope!

Notice; the Rapture for us, it not just an escape from the trials and troubles of this present world. We live here as Christian believers, making a difference in the world we are a part of. It is yours and my presence, that holds the wrath of God away from this God rejecting world. That is why we are we still here. There is still blood on the mercy seat in heaven to save others from this wicked world. And it is our presence that will make a difference to someone we love. Therefore, rejoice in the life the LORD is allowing you to live, and enjoy it as a redeemed son of daughter of God, until He calls you home. It will be worth it all!

God's grace that has brought us salvation, teaches us to LIVE righteously and godly in this present world. And that is while we look for that blessed hope.

How I enjoyed preaching on this subject last night (Wednesday 2-7-2024) titled, Some of Us Will Never Die (4 things to happen before the coming of the LORD). Archived at our church website.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATANO - FEBRUARI 7, 2024
Je, tunawapendaje maadui zetu? Tutakuwa nao, la sivyo, tusingeambiwa tuwapende. "Lakini mimi nawaambia, Wapendeni adui zenu, waombeeni wanaowalaani, watendeeni mema wale wanaowachukia ninyi, waombeeni wanaowadhulumu na kuwaudhi; 45 ili mpate kuwa wana wa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni... (Mathayo 5:44-45).
Yesu alifundisha jambo hili waziwazi kwa watu waliokuwa wamefundishwa na sheria ya Musa; “...Mpende jirani yako, na, umchukie adui yako (Mathayo 5:43).
Ilikuwa ni kubadilika kwa kipindi, kutoka sheria hadi neema. Ni ipi yenye nguvu zaidi?

Je, unawapendaje adui zako, wale wanaojaribu kuharibu ushawishi wako na ni wazi kwamba wana makosa katika kile wanachofanya? Vivyo hivyo Yesu alivyofanya.
Yesu alikuja kwa taifa la watu wa kidini sana ambao walimchukia na kumtesa, watu ambao walipaswa kumpenda na kumjua Yeye ni nani hasa. Aliwaita wale Mafarisayo wa kidini jinsi walivyokuwa na akawaonya wafuasi wake juu yao; Nyoka, mbwa mwitu waliovaa ngozi ya kondoo, mauaji ya manabii na watoto wa Shetani.

Aliwaambia ukweli, ingawa ilileta chuki zaidi kwake kutoka kwa wale ambao walikuwa maadui zake waziwazi. Kisha ili kuonyesha upendo wake kwa wale waliomchukia, aliwaombea na kuwasamehe. Alilipa gharama ya ukombozi kwa ajili yao, ili waweze kuokolewa, “KAMA” kulikuwa na kitu chochote ndani yao cha kuitikia wokovu huo.

Yohana 3:16 inatuambia kwamba alikufa kwa ajili ya ulimwengu, akimpa “yeyote atakaye” nafasi, akijua kwamba ni Wateule tu, wale aliowapenda na kuwaweka kuwa wahai ndio watakaookolewa. Hivyo ndivyo tulivyowapenda adui zake.
Ni lazima tufanye vivyo hivyo. Katika Agano Jipya, Stefano alisimamia ukweli, akiwaita watu wa dini zaidi, mauaji ya manabii na daima wenye shingo ngumu na wasiotahiriwa mioyo na masikio (Matendo 7:51-52) - je, walimpenda kwa hilo? Hapana walimpiga mawe, ingawa alisema ukweli.

Walipokuwa wakimpiga kwa mawe, maneno yake ya mwisho yalikuwa kama ifuatavyo: “Wakampiga kwa mawe Stefano, akimwomba Mungu akisema, Bwana Yesu, pokea roho yangu. na alipokwisha kusema hayo, akalala (Matendo 7:59-60).

Alisimama kijana mmoja jina lake Sauli akiidhinisha kifo chake, lakini kwa ushuhuda wa Stefano ambao Sauli alipaswa kujua kuwa ulikuwa wa kweli, baadaye ungempeleka kwa Kristo. Wale wengine wakaenda zao popote walipotoka.

Ni vivyo hivyo leo, wapende adui zako, waombee na uwasamehe. Sema na usimamie ukweli, bila kujali gharama. Hatuwezi kuachana na ukweli kwa ajili ya umoja (Wafilipi 3:17:19). Yesu hakufanya hivyo, Stefano hakufanya hivyo, na baada ya kuongoka kwake wala Mtume Paulo, Sauli rasmi ambaye alishuhudia kifo cha Stefano.

Tutakuwa na maadui kwa ajili ya ukweli, lakini siku zote kumbuka, wao ni maadui kwa ajili ya Kristo. Tuwe Yesu Kristo kwao kwa Neno, kwa kunena kweli na kwa matendo, kwa kuwaombea na kuwasamehe.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 7, 2024

How do we love our enemies? We will have them, otherwise, we would not have been told to love them. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven... (Matthew 5:44-45)."

Jesus clearly taught this to a people that had been taught by the law of Moses; "...Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy (Matthew 5:43)."

It was the changing of dispensation, from law to grace. Which is more powerful?

How do you love your enemies, those that try to destroy your influence and clearly are wrong in what they do? The same way Jesus did.

Jesus came to a nation of very religious people that hated him and persecuted him, a people that should have loved Him and known exactly who He was. He called those religious Pharisees what they were and warned His followers of them; Snakes, wolves in sheep's clothing, murders of the prophets and children of Satan.

He told them the truth, even though it brought more hatred to Him from those that were clearly His enemies. Then to show His love for those that hated Him, He prayed for them and forgave them. He paid the price of redemption for them, so they could be saved, "IF" there was anything in them to respond to that salvation.

John 3:16 tells us he died for the world, giving "whosoever will" an opportunity, knowing that only the Elect, those that He loved and ordained to life would be saved. That was how we loved His enemies.

We must do the same. In the New Testament, Stephen stood for truth, calling the most religious people, murders of the prophets and always stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears (Acts 7:51-52) - did they love him for that? No they stoned him, even though he spoke the truth.

As they stoned him, his last words were as follows: "And they stoned Stephen , calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep (Acts 7:59-60)."

There stood a young man by the name of Saul approving of his death, but by Stephen's testimony of which Saul had to know was true, it would later move him to Christ. The others went their way, wherever they came from.

It is the same today, love your enemies, pray for them and forgive them. Speak and stand for the truth, regardless of the cost. We cannot compromise truth for the sake of unity (Philippians 3:17:19). Jesus didn't, Stephen didn't, and upon his conversion neither did the Apostle Paul, formally Saul who witnessed Stephens death.

We will have enemies for truths sake, but always remember, they are enemies for Christ's sake. Let us be Jesus Christ to them in Word, by speaking the truth and in action, by praying for and forgiving them.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – PASTOR Bill Ivy - JUMATATU - FEBRUARI 5, 2024
Ufunuo unaandika juu ya nyakati saba za kanisa, tunazirejelea kama Nyakati Saba za Kanisa. Kila wakati umekuwa na imani yake, wakati wa mwisho, ni wakati wa saba unaoshika Unyakuo. Inalinganishwa na tafsiri ya Henoko, ambaye alikuwa wa saba kutoka kwa Adamu. Mwanzo 5:24 “Henoko akaenda pamoja na Mungu, naye hakuwako, kwa maana Mungu alimtwaa.
Ufunuo 3:14 “Na kwa malaika wa kanisa lililoko Laodikia andika…” Inaonyeshwa kuwa ndiyo nyakati mbaya kuliko zote za kanisa, kwa sababu katika mstari wa 20, tunampata Kristo nje ya kanisa, akibisha ili kurudi kwenye kanisa ambalo halingemruhusu aingie.

Huu ndio wakati ambao “utaitwa huku,” ama tungeweza kusema kwa uwazi zaidi, kuona ufufuo na Kunyakuliwa kwa Kanisa. Tumekuwa na imani kwa ajili ya uponyaji, na kwa mambo mengine mengi, hata hivyo, "itachukua imani zaidi kuliko wakati wowote ule, kwa maana hii haina budi kuwa IMANI YA UNYAKUO, ili kutwaliwa." - William Branham

Roho Mtakatifu hutupatia imani ya unyakuo, tunaposonga juu. Henoko, mfano wetu wa Agano la Kale, alikuwa na imani ya kutosha, kwamba siku moja alichukua matembezi ya mchana pamoja na Mungu na akaendelea tu kutembea hadi akaenda nyumbani bila kufa. Kanisa (Bibi-arusi wa Yesu Kristo) halina budi kuja kwenye hilo, imani ya kunyakuliwa.

Itakuwa pale tunapoihitaji, ikiwa tumeitwa kwa kusudi katika mpango wa Mungu, na hakuna chochote, hakuna siasa, hakuna sayansi, na hakuna nguvu ya kikanisa inayoweza kuizuia.
Hili lilikuwa somo Jumapili asubuhi katika LWT - "WAKATI UMEKARIBIA" (mambo 4 ambayo lazima yatokee kabla ya unyakuo). Pia tulikuwa na ibada ya ajabu ya Komunyo Jumapili jioni na Ndugu Joshua Swims akizungumza juu ya "UFUNUO." Mungu amekuwa mwema sana kwetu katika LWT.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - MONDAY - FEBRUARY 5, 2024

The Revelations writes of seven dispensations of the church, we refer to it as Seven Church Ages. Each age has had its faith, the final age, is the seventh age that catches the Rapture. It compares with the translation of Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam. Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Rev 3:14 "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write..." It is shown to be the worst of all church ages, because in verse 20, we find Christ outside the church, knocking to get back into a church that would not let Him in.

This is the age that will be "called up hither," or we could say more plainly, see the resurrection and the Rapture of the Church. We have had faith for healing, and for many other things, however, "it will take more faith than ever was in any age, for this has to be RAPTURE FAITH, to be taken up." - William Branham

The Holy Ghost gives us rapturing faith, as we move upward. Enoch, our Old Testament type, had faith enough, that one day he took a afternoon stroll with God and just kept on walking until he went home without dying. The Church (Bride of Jesus Christ) has to come to that, rapturing faith.

It will be there when we need it, if we are called to the purpose in God's plan, and nothing, no politics, no science, and no ecclesiastical power can stop it.

This was the subject Sunday morning at LWT - "THE TIME IS AT HAND" (4 things that must happen before the rapture). We also had a marvelous Communion service Sunday evening with Brother Joshua Swims speaking on "REVELATION." God has been so good to us at LWT.

Matt 15:27 Akasema, Kweli, Bwana, lakini mbwa hula makombo yaangukayo mezani pa bwana zao.

Mama wa Kanaani alikuja kwa Yesu na wanafunzi wakitafuta msaada. Hii ilikuwa katika ujio Wake wa kwanza, huduma ya BWANA ilikuwa kwa jamii ya Wayahudi - wote walimkataa. Alikuwa wa kabila tofauti, tungeweza kusema kanisa tofauti, imani tofauti, alikuja hata hivyo kwa sababu HAKUNA MAHALI PENGINE kwake pa kwenda.
Alikuja huku akijua kuwa yeye si mali yake, lakini alienda hata hivyo, kwa heshima kwa yale ambayo labda hajaelewa kikamilifu. Kama hangeweza kupata mkate uliojaa, ambao ni wa wale Aliowajia pia, labda angeweza kupata kipande.

Ingawa alikuwa tofauti, amejitenga na dini hii, hakuwa na kanisa lingine aliloishi lililoamini, alienda kwa heshima kwa yale ambayo hakuelewa. Kwa kufanya hivyo, hakupokea tu kipande cha mkate au chembe bali alipata mkate mzima.

Natuma WAZO hili kwa maeneo mengine mengi na watu ambao wameliomba, ambalo nashukuru kuweza kufanya. Oh, kwamba sisi sote, popote unapoishi, mji gani au Nchi gani unayotoka, tuwe na azimio sawa na mwanamke wa Kanaani, hasa sisi tuliopewa MKATE MZIMA (Ufunuo 10:7) - ni ya watoto.
Sote tujikute tunaabudu pamoja, na wengine wanaompenda BWANA Yesu wikendi hii.

Ikiwa unapenda tu aina fulani ya kanisa au huduma, unaweza kukaa nyumbani na usipate hata chembe. Hata hivyo, ikiwa una upendo na Kristo, utapata mahali panapojaribu kufuata mafundisho ya Biblia, mahubiri ya Neno na kusanyiko la Watakatifu waitwao, KANISA (Eklesia).

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - JANUARY 26, 2024

Matt 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

A mother of Canaan came to Jesus and the disciples seeking help. This was at His first coming, the LORD'S ministry was to the Jewish race - they all refused her. She was of a different race, we could say a different church, a different faith, she came anyway because there was NO OTHER PLACE for her to go.

She came knowing she did not belong, but went anyway, with respect for that which she may not have fully understood. If she could not get a full loaf of bread, which belong to those He came too, she could perhaps get a slice.

Though she was different, estranged from this religion, having no other church where she lived that believed, she went with respect for that which she did not understand. In doing so she not only received a slice or a mere crumb but she got the whole loaf.

I send this THOUGHT to many other places and people that have requested it, which I am thankful to be able to do. Oh, that we all, wherever you live, what city or Country you are from, have the same determination as the woman of Canaan, especially we that have been given the WHOLE LOAF (Revelation 10:7) - it belongs to the children.

May we all find ourselves worshiping together, with other's that love the LORD Jesus this weekend.

If you are just in love with a certain type of church or ministry, you might very well stay at home and not even get the crumb. However, if you are in love with Christ, you will find a place that tries to follow the teachings of the Bible, the preaching of the Word and the gathering of Saints called, the CHURCH (Ecclesia).

Ufunuo 10:6 Akaapa kwa yeye aliye hai hata milele na milele, aliyeziumba mbingu na vitu vilivyomo ndani yake, na nchi, na vitu vilivyomo, na bahari na vitu vilivyomo ndani yake. 7 Lakini katika siku za sauti ya malaika wa saba, atakapopiga tarumbeta yake, siri ya Mungu itatimizwa, kama alivyowahubiri watumishi wake manabii.

Inasemekana hakutakuwa na "wakati tena," hakutakuwa na kuchelewa tena, kwa sababu kila kitu kimefika tamati. Na ndipo tunaona wakati malaika wa saba anapopiga, ile siri (siri) ya Mungu inapaswa KIMAMILIKA.

Tunajua huyu malaika wa saba, ni yule yule mjumbe wa Laodikia, wakati wa saba na wa mwisho wa kanisa. Pia angekuwa nabii kulingana na Malaki 4:5-6. Angefanya zaidi ya kurekebisha kanisa, bali KURUDISHA Imani ya asili ya Biblia kwa kanisa.

Wengi hawataelewa, kwa sababu ya unabii wa Isaya; wana macho lakini hawawezi kuona, wana masikio na hawawezi kusikia (Isaya 6-9). Yesu aliinua unabii huo na kuongeza juu yake; Matt 13:16 Lakini macho yenu yamebarikiwa, kwa kuwa yanaona; na masikio yenu, kwa kuwa yanasikia.

Ikiwa imekamilika, basi Ufunuo 10:1-7 ni historia, imetimizwa. Tumepewa ufunuo kamili ambao utalipeleka kanisa (Bibi-arusi) nyumbani kwa utukufu. Ni wazo la kutia moyo kama nini!

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - JANUARY 25, 2024

Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

It is said there will be "time no longer," there would be no more delay, because everything has come to its completion. And then we see when the seventh angel sounds, the mystery (secret) of God should be FINISHED.

We know this seventh angel, is the same as the messenger to Laodicea, the seventh and final church age. He would also be a prophet according to Malachi 4:5-6. He would do more than reform the church, but RESTORE the original Bible Faith to the church.

Most will not understand, because of Isaiah's prophecy; they have eyes but cannot see, ears and cannot hear (Isaiah 6-9). Jesus picked up on that prophesy and added to it; Matt 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

If it is finished, then Revelation 10:1-7 is history, fulfilled. We have been given the complete revelation that will take the church (Bride) home to glory. What an encouraging thought it is!

2 Wakorintho 5:19 "...Mungu alikuwa ndani ya Kristo, akiupatanisha ulimwengu na nafsi yake..."

Ilikuwa ni Mungu Mwenyewe aliyekuwepo binafsi katika utu wa Yesu Kristo akitupatanisha. Neno KUPATANISHA ni kuturudisha katika hali ya urafiki na Mungu. Hiyo ni, ikiwa watu wawili walikuwa katika ugomvi na kuachana, kupatana ni kurudi kwenye uhusiano wa kirafiki. Ni kumaliza migogoro.
Ilikuwa ni Mungu, yote ya Mungu katika mtu mmoja, na kwa hilo bila kuhesabu na kutushikilia dhambi zetu, lakini kuzifuta. Ni Mungu Mwenyewe tu, kwa Upendo wa Kiungu alioweza kufanya hivyo. Lakini si hayo tu; ni kwa tendo hilo, kwamba amekabidhi kwa kila mmoja wetu "Ujumbe."
Na "Ujumbe" ni nini?
Ni sawa. Sisi tukiwa katika mahusiano sahihi na Mungu, tumepewa "UJUMBE" WA UPATANISHO, yaani kuwarudisha wengine katika upendeleo wake.

Vipi?
Kwa NENO lile lile la urejesho lililoturudisha kwenye sura ya Neno.

Ndiyo maana nahubiri NENO, ndiyo maana sote tunahubiri NENO, wengine nyuma ya mimbari, yote kwa uzima wa Kristo ulio ndani yetu, ambao sisi sote tunaishi mbele ya ulimwengu. Ulimwengu ambao unatamani kurejeshwa. Kwa hiyo, tukijua Mungu ni nani, basi tunaweza kuwa na imani katika sisi ni nani. Ilikuwa ni MUNGU katika Kristo, akiupatanisha ULIMWENGU kwake Mwenyewe akitoa kwa kanisa lake huduma ile ile.

54-1212 ALIAPA.KWA.MWENYEWE_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN
Yote aliyokuwa, katika Nguzo ya Moto, alikuwa ndani ya Kristo Yesu. Biblia ilisema ya kwamba Mungu alimwaga (unajua unachofanya, tunapofanya kitu cho chote?)—alijiweka mwenyewe katika Kristo. Hebu fikiria. Mungu alijimwaga ndani ya Kristo. Na Kristo alifikiri kuwa si wizi kuwa sawa na Mungu, kwa maana Yeye alikuwa Mungu.
Hilo ndilo jambo walilomuua kwa ajili yake: kuvunja siku ya sabato, akijifanya Mungu. Naye alikuwa Bwana wa Sabato, naye alikuwa ni Mungu Emanueli. Ilikuwa ni Mungu katika Kristo akiupatanisha ulimwengu na nafsi Yake. Sasa, na kila kitu ambacho Mungu alikuwa, alimwaga ndani ya Kristo. Na kila kitu Kristo alichokuwa, alikimimina ndani ya Kanisa. - WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 24, 2024

2 Corinthians 5:19 "...God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself..."

It was God Himself personally present in the person of Jesus Christ reconciling us. The word RECONCILE is to put us back on friendly terms with God. That is, if two people were in a dispute and estranged from one another, reconcile is to return to a friendly relationship. It is to end the conflict.

It was God, all of God in one person, and by that not counting up and holding against us our sins, but cancelling them out. Only God Himself, by the Divine Love which He is could do that. But that is not all; it is by that act, that He has committed to each of us the "Message."

And what is the "Message?"

It is the same. We being in the right relationship with God, have been given the "MESSAGE" OF RECONCILIATION, that is to restore others to His favor.

How?

By the same WORD of restoration that brought us back to the image of the Word.

That is why I preach the WORD, that is why we all preach the WORD, some behind the pulpit, all by the life of Christ which is in us, which we all live before the world. A world that longs to be restored back. Therefore, if we know who God is, then we can have faith in who we are. It was GOD in Christ, reconciling the WORLD unto Himself giving to His church the same ministry.

54-1212 HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

All that He was, in the Pillar of Fire, He was in Christ Jesus. The Bible said that God emptied (You know what you do, when we empty anything?)--emptied Himself into Christ. Just think. God emptied Himself into Christ. And Christ thought it not robbery to be equal with God, for He was God.

That's the thing they killed Him for: breaking the sabbath day, making Himself God. And He was Lord of the Sabbath, and He was God Emmanuel. It was God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Now, and everything that God was, He emptied into Christ. And everything Christ was, He emptied into the Church. - WMB

“Matendo yako yanathibitisha jinsi ulivyo. Unaweza kusema umeipata, lakini matendo yako yanazungumza kwa sauti kubwa hivi kwamba hawawezi kusikia sauti yako. Maisha yako yanazungumza jinsi ulivyo.” - William Branham

Ulimwengu unatutazama, unaona kile tunachofanya, kilicho muhimu zaidi kwetu, mambo tunayopenda na watu wema wanaofurahia kuwa pamoja. Leo, zaidi ya hapo awali, katika ulimwengu huu uliojaa raha na pumbao la mwili, tunatazamwa ili kuona kile tunachoamini hasa. Kila kitu lazima watu wafanye, huchapishwa ili ulimwengu uone mara moja.

Ndiyo, pamoja na mambo yote yanayotokana na Mti wa Maarifa, kuna MEMA na kuna UOVU. Walakini, kuna pia MTI WA UZIMA, na kutoka kwa ukweli huo hutoka mzuri tu. Na kutoka kwenye MTI huo kuna jicho linaloona kila kitu, ambalo pia huona na kusikia papo hapo yote tunayofanya, yale tunayofurahia na mambo tunayofurahia zaidi maishani.

Ni muhimu kile ambacho watu wanaona kuhusu maisha yetu kama Waumini wa Ujumbe wa Kikristo. Nataka kuishi leo mbele ya ulimwengu, nikijua kwamba pia kuna JICHO LA MUNGU LIONALO YOTE linanitazama, hata wakati hakuna mwingine.

SHAIRI LA MAISHA
Ninaposemwa nashindwa kusema, au mambo ninayofanya, hutoka vibaya.
Kuna sauti itazungumza kwa nguvu zaidi, ni maisha ninayoishi leo.
Basi na yawe MAISHA YAKE juu, yaliyong'aa kutoka msalabani ili kuonyesha upendo WAKE.
Maisha ninayoishi yatazungumza kwa sauti kubwa, kwa mtu mwingine kuona na kusikia,
Kwa hivyo na iwe MAISHA ya wazi sana, ingawa maneno yangu ni duni.
Na yawe MAISHA YAKE.

"Your actions prove what you are. You can say you got It, but your actions speak so loud that they can't hear your voice. Your life speaks what you are." - William Branham

The world is watching us, they see what we do, what is most important to us, the things we like and the kind people enjoy being with. Today, more than ever before, in this world filled with pleasure and amusement for the flesh, we are being watched to see what we really believe. Everything must people do, is published for the world to see instantly.

Yes, with all things that come from the Tree of Knowledge, there is GOOD and there is EVIL. However, there is also the TREE OF LIFE, and from that true comes only good. And from that TREE is an all seeing eye, that also instantly sees and hears all we do, what we take pleasure in and the things we enjoy the most in life.

It is important what people see about our lives as Christian Message Believers. I want to live today before the world, knowing that there is also the ALL SEEING EYE OF GOD watching me, even when no one else is.

POEM OF LIFE

When spoken word's I fail to say, or the things I do, come out wrong.

There is a voice that will speak more strong, it is the life I live today.

So let it be HIS LIFE above, that shined from the cross to show HIS love.

The life I live will speak so loud, for someone else to see and hear,

So may it be a LIFE so clear, even though my words are dim.

Let it be the LIFE of HIM.

Watu watakuja na kuondoka; wanaweza kuwa na bidii kwa ajili ya jambo fulani leo na kesho bila kupendezwa wala kutamani jambo hilo hilo. Ni kweli, mtu anaweza kupenda kitu au mtu fulani, halafu kesho akawa kinyume kabisa.

Kwa nini hii? Pengine, hawajawahi kukumbana na kitu au mtu ambaye ni halisi, na kama wanacho hakikutambuliwa kamwe nao kama kweli, na kama ukweli halisi. Kile ambacho ni halisi, lazima kiwe sehemu ya kitu kingine ambacho ni halisi, na hakiwezi kuwa sehemu ya kitu kingine chochote.
Iwapo utawahi, mara tu umefichuliwa kwa "Ujumbe" huu na Habari Njema ni kwa roho yako, HUWEZI kamwe kuuepuka. Hata, wale tunaowapenda, ambao wanaonekana kupeperuka kutoka kwayo na kuwa hasi kuelekea kwayo, ikiwa wamekutana nayo kweli, inakaa nao bila kujali wangesema au kufanya nini. Na kama wametoka mahali pale pale ulipotoka “Ujumbe”, watarejea humo.

Kumbuka, wakati sisi sote tunakwenda zaidi ya "pazia la wakati," tutakuwa mtu yule yule tuliye hapa duniani. "Ujumbe" huu unatuita kurudi tulikotoka kwa sababu ya sisi tulivyo ndani yake (Kristo wa Kweli).
Basi ikumbatieni Haki mnapoisikia, na mnayoisikia kutoka kwake. Na ushikilie, kwa sababu itashikilia kwako. Ingawa marafiki wako wapendwa wanakuacha na kukimbiza kile wanachohisi ni bora na kikubwa zaidi - baki na Ukweli, ukweli rahisi na mahali unapohubiriwa kwa njia rahisi.

Kifo hakikubadilishi. Kifo hubadilisha tu makao yako. Unaona? Kumbuka, Samweli, alipokuwa amekufa na kuzikwa kwa miaka miwili, alikuwa katika Paradiso. Naye mchawi wa Endori akamwita, na Sauli akamtambua; naye akafanya hivyo, pia, akaanguka kifudifudi. Hakuwa amebadilika, hata kidogo. Bado alikuwa Samweli yule yule, baada ya kufa miaka miwili, na bado alikuwa nabii. Akasema, Kesho utaanguka vitani, mwanao pamoja nawe, na kwa wakati huu kesho usiku utakuwa pamoja nami. Na ndivyo ilivyotokea. - WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - JANUARY 9, 2024

People will come and go; they can be zealous for something today and tomorrow with no interest or desire for the same. It is true, a person can love something or someone, and then be the complete opposite tomorrow.

Why is this? Perhaps, they have never experienced something or someone that is real, and if they have it was never really recognized by them as real, and as real truth. That which is real, has to be a part of something else that is real, and it cannot be a part of anything else.

If you are ever, ONCE exposed to this "Message" and the Good News it is to your soul, you can NEVER get away from it. Even, those that we love, who seem to drift from it and become negative toward it, if they have really come in contact with it, it stays with them regardless of what they would say or do. And if they originated from the same place the "Message" originated from, they will return back to it.

Remember, when we all go beyond "the curtain of time," we will be the same person we are here on earth. This "Message" calls us back to where we come from because of who we are in Him (Christ the Truth).

Therefore, embrace the Truth when you hear it, and from whom you hear it. And hold to it, because it will hold to you. Though your dearest friends forsake you and run after what they feel like is something better and greater - stay with the Truth, the simple truth and where it is preached in a simple way.

64-0802 THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

Death doesn't change you. Death only changes your dwelling place. See? Remember, Samuel, when he was dead and been buried for two years, he was in Paradise. And the witch of Endor called him up, and Saul recognized him; and she did, too, and fell upon her face. He hadn't changed, one bit. He was still the same Samuel, after being dead two years, and he was still a prophet. He said, "Tomorrow you'll fall in battle, your son with you, and by this time tomorrow night you'll be with me." And that's just what happened. - WMB

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - IJUMAA - JANUARI 5, 2024
Kuna wale ambao ni rahisi sana kupenda. Pia kuna wale ambao tunaona vigumu sana kuwa na hisia sawa za upendo kwao, na labda ni sawa. Ikiwa Yesu alituambia tuwapende adui zetu; wabarikini wale wanaowalaani, watendeeni mema wale wanaowachukia ninyi, na waombeeni wale wanaowadhulumu na kuwaudhi - ili mpate kuwa watoto wa Baba yenu. Basi, hili lawezekanaje, katika nyakati hizi ambazo karibu haziwezekani kabisa tunamoishi, wakati watu wengi sana wamegawanyika, kisiasa, kijamii na kidini?

Agizo letu kuu sio KUHUBIRI tu, bali kuishi na kuwa Injili kwa kila mtu, mzuri au mbaya. Upendo wa Mungu ndani yetu, si wa kutamani, wala haukatishi ukweli kwa ajili ya ushirika. Upendo (upendo mkamilifu) utasimama kwa ukweli, si kwa chuki, hasira au kujihesabia haki, bali kwa Upendo wa Mungu ndani yako, ukidhihirishwa kupitia wewe (1 Wakorintho 13:13).

Ufuatao ni ushauri mzuri:

58-0301B THE.GREAT.COMMISSION_ CHATTANOOGA.TN
Ikiwa nimepata neema machoni pako kupitia kwa Mungu, kubali neno langu kwa hili, ndugu. Ukitaka kuwa baraka, na kupata baraka, wakati mtu amekukosea, na ana haki kabisa, namaanisha amekukosea na unajua kwamba amekukosea; amekufanyia uovu. Usiseme hivyo; unampeleka kwa maombi mbele za Mungu. Wala msilichukulie kwa njia ya ubinafsi tu na kusema, “Vema, napaswa kufanya hivi.” Bali simama na bega lako begani mwake, na usimame katika Uwepo wa Mungu Baba yetu, jinsi maombi yapasavyo kufanywa katika Uwepo wa Mungu, useme, “Baba, huyu hapa ndugu yangu, naye ni mwenye haki, anastahili adhabu kwa sababu anastahili adhabu. amenifanyia ubaya. Na sioni kwa nini alifanya hivyo."
Kisha acha Mungu aende kuzungumza nawe. Na utaona labda, kile ambacho mtu huyo amepitia. Ibilisi amempotosha mahali fulani na kumfanya afanye hivyo. Ingawa amekosea kabisa, kabla hujaondoka kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Mungu utakuwa ukimuonea huruma mtu huyo. Utakuwa unamuonea huruma huyo kaka. Na utakaporudi duniani tena, utamwendea huyo ndugu na kumpa mkono, maana unajua yale ambayo amepitia. Huwezi kusimama na mwanadamu anayeweza kufa katika Uwepo wa Mungu na kumhukumu mtu ye yote, siamini, la, bwana, hata kama yeye ni mwenye dhambi mkuu.
....tunaporudi kutoka kwa kiti cha enzi cha Mungu, tutatambua kwamba kila mmoja wetu ana hatia, na sote tunahitaji msaada mmoja kutoka kwa mwingine. Na njia bora ya kufanya ni kuomba. -WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - FRIDAY - JANUARY 5, 2024

There are those that are very easy to love. There are also those who we find very hard to have the same feeling of love for, and maybe it is justifiable. If Jesus told us to love our enemies; bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you - that ye many be the children of your Father. Then, how can this be possible, in these almost impossible times in which we live, when so many are divided, politically, socially and religiously?

Our great Commission is not only to PREACH, but to live and be the Gospel to everyone, good or bad. God's Love in us, is not wishy-washy, nor does it compromise truth for the sake of fellowship. Charity (perfect love) will stand for truth, not in hate, anger or self-righteousness, but with God's Love in you, being manifested through you (1 Corinthians 13:13).

The following is good advice:

58-0301B THE.GREAT.COMMISSION_ CHATTANOOGA.TN

If I have found grace in your sight through God, you take my word for this, brethren. If you want to be a blessing, and get a blessing, when a man has done you wrong, and he has absolutely justly, I mean he has done you wrong and you know that he's done you wrong; he's done you evil. Don't mention that; you take him to prayer before God. And don't take it in a way of just a selfish and say, "Well, I'm supposed to do this." But stand with your shoulder to his shoulder, and stand in the Presence of God our Father, way a prayer should be made in the Presence of God, say, "Father, here's my brother, and he is justly; he deserves punishment because he has done me evil. And I don't see why he did it."

Then let God go to talking to you. And you'll see maybe, what that man's been through. The devil has twisted him up somewhere and caused him to do that. Though he's absolutely wrong, before you leave the throne of God you'll be feeling sorry for that man. You'll be sympathizing with that brother. And when you get back down to earth again, you'll go over to that brother and shake his hand, 'cause you know what he's been through. You can't stand with a mortal in the Presence of God and condemn anybody, I don't believe, no, sir, even if he is a rank sinner.

....when we come back from the throne of God, we'll realize that we're every one guilty, and we all need help one from the other. And the best way to do is pray. -WMB

Unquote: Have a nice weekend, and find your place in church Sunday listening to the Word preached, according to that which God's Word has called us to be faithful to.

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - ALHAMISI - TAREHE 4 JANUARI, 2024
Alikuwepo jana usiku! Siku ya Jumatano usiku ni maalum, ingawa mwili umechoka, kuna burudisho linalotokana na uwepo wa Mungu tunapoabudu pamoja. Kuimba, maombi, na kuhubiriwa kwa Neno vyote vilikuwa na matokeo chanya katika nafsi zetu wakati wa ibada.
Tunapoanza mwaka mpya, na sisi kama Waumini tuwe tayari kwa kujua ni nani anayetawala maisha yetu. Na kwa maarifa haya haya tunamjua adui, yule ambaye atasababisha matatizo ambayo yatakuja kwa kila kanisa la mtaa, familia na Mkristo binafsi.

63-0825M JINSI.NINAWEZA KUSHINDA_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN
Kushinda maana yake ni "kumtambua Ibilisi katika kila hila zake." Watu wengi husema, "Hakuna Ibilisi. Ni mawazo tu." Usiamini hivyo. Kuna Ibilisi kweli. Yeye ni halisi kama wewe, mtu ye yote. Ibilisi halisi, na lazima umtambue halisi. Lazima ujue yeye ni shetani. Ndipo, wakati ule ule unapomtambua, na kujua ya kwamba yeye ni ibilisi na anapingana nawe, basi, ili kushinda, yakupasa kutambua ya kwamba Mungu aliye ndani yako ni mkuu na mwenye nguvu kuliko yeye, kwamba Yule aliye ndani yako tayari anayo. kumshinda. Na, kwa neema Yake, wewe ni zaidi ya mtu anayelingana naye. Amina. Kuna kushinda kweli, unapotambua. - WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - THURSDAY - JANUARY 4, 2024

He was there last night! Wednesday night is always special, even though the body is tired, there is a refreshing that comes from the presence of God as we worship together. The singing, the prayers, and the preaching of the Word all had a positive effect on our soul during the service.

As we begin a new year, may we as Believers be prepared by the knowledge of who is in control of our life. And by this same knowledge we know the enemy, the one who is going to cause the problems that will come to every local church, family and individual Christian.

63-0825M HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

Overcome means "to recognize the Devil in every one of his tricks." Lot of people says, "There is no Devil. It's just a thought." Don't you believe that. There's a real Devil. He's just as real as you are, anybody. A real Devil, and you must recognize him real. You must know he's a devil. Then, the same time that you recognize him, and know that he's a devil and he's against you, then, to overcome, you must recognize that the God in you is greater and mightier than he is, that the One that's in you has already overcome him. And, by His grace, you are more than a match for him. Amen. There's real overcoming, when you recognize. - WMB

MAWAZO YA KUTIA MOYO – MCHUNGAJI Bill Ivy - JUMATANO - TAREHE 3 JANUARI, 2024
Imekuwa ngumu kutoka. Kadiri ninavyoitazama, ndivyo ninavyoona upungufu. Mara nyingi nimesema, kadiri ninavyomkaribia Mungu, ndivyo ninavyojitambua mimi ni mdogo kuliko vile ninavyotaka na ninahitaji kuwa mbele zake, Yeye ambaye ndiye muumba wa vitu vyote nikiwemo mimi.
Nimekuwa nikihubiri juu ya Karama za Roho kutoka 1 Wakorintho 12:13, na uhusiano wao na Upendo, naona upungufu. Huduma zilizo na karama nyingi zaidi na watu wa kawaida sawa, bila kujali upako wao, imani, ujuzi wa Ujumbe, na wema kwa wengine, bila Hisani, mambo haya hayana thamani. Hii inazungumza nami; nia yangu na nia gani kama mchungaji? Je, nia na shabaha ya sisi sote tunayoishi chini ya jina la "Muumini Ujumbe inapaswa kuwa nini?"

HISADI hii aliyoisema Mtume Paulo, ni UPENDO wa Mungu ndani yetu. Upendo wake unapokuwa pale, tunachofanya, Vipawa vilivyomo ndani yetu, vitakuwa ni udhihirisho wa UPENDO ulioumba vitu vyote kwa ajili ya mapenzi yake na kumwabudu (BWANA Yesu Kristo).
Kile tunachofanya kwa ajili ya wengine, nyumbani, maishani, katika ibada yetu ya kanisa usiku wa leo (Jumatano usiku), lazima yahamasishwe na Charity, ikiwa sio ibada yetu, kuimba, kuhubiri, na utendaji wa Karama yoyote ya Kiroho haifai. Na hii ni bila kujali ni kwa muda gani au kwa sauti gani tunaweza kuabudu, na jinsi inaweza kuwa na upako, bila Sadaka haina thamani. Je, hilo linaonekana geni kwako?

Usiku wa leo, na tuwe na mambo hayo yote, pamoja na HISANI ikichochea kila jambo tunalofanya, iwe tunajisikia kupakwa mafuta au la. Kisha, yote yaliyo hapo juu yatakuwa na thamani halisi, na kulijenga kanisa. Ninatamani kuona hili katika kila huduma na hasa katika huduma yangu mwenyewe. Hisani itatimiza lengo lake lililohudhuriwa na kusababisha Karama zilizopo kulijenga Kanisa.
Tuna wagonjwa wengi na watoto. Zawadi ya uponyaji iwepo pamoja na Hisani ili kukidhi kila hitaji.

55-1009 NJIA.YA.KUWA NA.USHIRIKA_ _
Ni afadhali kuwa na kanisa ambalo halijui lolote kuhusu karama yoyote ya kiroho, na tu kupendana sana sisi kwa sisi na Kristo, ni afadhali kuwa na hicho kuliko kila karama ya kiroho inayofanya kazi kanisani. Sasa, hilo linaweza kusikika kuwa gumu katika kundi la Kipentekoste, lakini ningependelea kuwa nalo. Palipo na karama, zitashindwa. Palipo na zawadi, zitaleta mkanganyiko. Ambapo kuna zawadi, zinaweza kuulizwa. Lakini palipo na upendo, ni kamilifu. Hiyo ni sawa. Na kama ungekuwa na upendo kamili ungekuwa na karama kamilifu. Hiyo ni sawa. Kwa hivyo fanya kazi kwanza kwa upendo. Hilo huleta ushirika, na ushirika huleta karama. - WMB
Ikiwa hiyo ni kweli, na tunaamini ni kweli, basi inawezekana kuwa na Karama ya Huduma nyuma ya mimbari, na Karama za Kiroho katika viti ambavyo ni kamilifu. Sio moja tu katika umri. Hiyo ni kwa maoni ya Mungu.

1 Wakorintho 13:8 Upendo haushindwi kamwe; bali ukiwapo unabii utabatilika; zikiwapo lugha, zitakoma; yakiwapo maarifa, yatatoweka.

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 3, 2024

It has been hard to get away from. The more I look at it, the more I see a lack. I have often said, the closer I get to God, the more I realize I am less than what I really want and need to be before Him, He that is the creator of all things including me.

As I have been preaching on the Gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12,13, and their relationship to Charity, I see the lack. The most gifted ministries and lay persons alike, regardless of their anointing, faith, knowledge of the Message, and kindness to others, without Charity, these things have no value. This speaks to me; what is my motive and objective as a pastor? What should be the motive and objective of all of us that live under the title of "Message Believer?"

This CHARITY spoke of by the Apostle Paul, is God's LOVE in us. When His love is there, what we do, the Gifts that are present in us, will be a manifestation of the LOVE that created all things for His pleasure and to worship Him (the LORD Jesus Christ).

What we do for others, at home, in life, in our church service tonight (Wednesday night), must be motivated by Charity, if not our worship, singing, preaching, and the operation of any Spiritual Gift is not useful. And this is regardless of how long or how loud we can worship, and how anointed it may be, without Charity it is of no value. Does that seem strange to you?

Tonight, may we have all those things, with CHARITY motivating everything we do, whether we feel anointed or not. Then, all of the above will have real value, and edify the church. I long to see this in every service and especially in my own ministry. Charity will accomplish its attended end and cause the Gifts present to edify the Church.

We have a lot of sick folks and children. May the Gift of healing be present with Charity to meet every need.

55-1009 THE.WAY.TO.HAVE.FELLOWSHIP_ _

I would rather have a church that knows nothing about any spiritual gift, and just be so in love with each other and with Christ, I'd rather have that than every spiritual gift operating in the church. Now, that might sound hard in a Pentecostal group, but I would rather have it. Where there is gifts, they'll fail. Where there is gifts, they'll bring confusion. Where there is gifts, they can be questioned. But where there is love, it is perfect. That's right. And if you had perfect love you'd have perfect gifts. That's right. So work first with love. That brings fellowship, and fellowship brings gifts. - WMB

If that be true, and we believe it is, then it is possible to have a Gift of Ministry behind the pulpit, and Spiritual Gifts in the pews that are perfect. Not just one in an age. That is in God's view.

1 Cor 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Sote tumesikia wimbo; Nipe hiyo dini ya zamani... inanitosha. Ninaamini hiyo ndiyo pekee na inashinda vipindi vyote na mitindo ya kisasa ya kuinua watu kwa burudani na maonyesho. Je, nikosoaji tu kwa moyo mbaya kwa kusema hivyo? Au ni hasira yangu ya haki ambayo inalia kwa sababu ya umri wangu na mabadiliko ninayoyaona.
Tunapokabiliana na mwaka mwingine (2024), na tusikubaliane na chochote isipokuwa ile Injili ya mtindo wa zamani, rahisi, ambayo inahubiriwa kwa urahisi, na kumwinua Kristo juu, na itawavuta wateule kwa Neno la Mungu kwa saa hii.

Ndugu ama Dada, ikiwahi kufikia wakati ambapo inanibidi kuwa na karamu ya kadi kanisani ili kufanya mkusanyiko, nitaacha kuhubiri Injili, maana Imepoteza nguvu Zake. Ninakuambia, ndugu, tunachohitaji leo ni ile Injili ya mtindo wa kale, sahili, nguvu za Roho Mtakatifu zinazohubiriwa katika usahili Wake, basi “Nikiinuliwa juu ya nchi, nitawavuta watu wote Kwangu.” - WMB

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS – PASTOR Bill Ivy - TUESDAY - JANUARY 2, 2024

We have all heard the song; Give me that old time religion... It's good enough for me. I believe that is the only one and it beats all the programs and modern trends to elevate people with entertainment and showmanship. Am I just critical with an evil heart for saying such? Or is it my righteous indignation that cries out because of my age and the changes I see.

As we face another year (2024), may we settle for nothing less than that old fashion, simple Gospel, which is preached in simplicity, and lifts Christ up, and will draw the elect to God's Word for this hour.

53-0328 ISRAEL.AND.THE.CHURCH.4_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN _

Brother or Sister, if it ever gets to a time that I have to have a card party in the church to hold an audience, I'll quit preaching the Gospel, 'cause It's lost Its power. I tell you, brother, what we need today is the old fashion, simple Gospel, Holy Ghost power preached in Its simplicity, then "If I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all men unto Me." - WMB
