    Acts 1:8 (New King James Version)

    8 But you shall receive power when the HolySpirit has come upon you; and you shall bewitnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all

    Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the

    earth.

    The word gospel is from the Greek wordEuangelion, the word infers good news orgood message

    The gospel is the mission of the church. We

    continue to speak of fruit, we must realize

    that the gospel is the seed of that fruit.

    The parable of the sower in Matthew 13 is the

    challenge that the seed faces. Lack of

    understanding, joy of the Lord missing causes

    offence, this system chokes out the seed, then

    the fruitful with the multiplication factor.

    Matthew 24:14And this gospel of the kingdom will bepreached in all the world as a witness to all

    the nations, and then the end will come.Romans 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,for it is the power of God to salvation for

    everyone who believes, for the Jew first andalso for the Greek.

    Galatians 1:8But even if we, or an angel from heaven,

    preach any other gospel to you than what we

    have preached to you, let him be accursed.1 Peter 4:17For the time has come for judgment to beginat the house of God; and if it begins with us

    first, what will be the end of those who do notobey the gospel of God?

    Gods Century, says that the secularization

    thesis has failed.

    Statistics tell us that mans effort to createwithout God have come to nothing.

    On the one hand we are trying to achieve

    immortality and on the other hand we are

    eliminating those who threaten our way of life

    and our future.

    The threat of WMD

    The future of the environment, or the eco

    system We have come to realize that religion, and I

    use that word loosely, and gods, are impacting

    war, countries and who is in charge. The

    concept of church and state separated has

    taken a huge pendulum swing.

    The age of digitization has made our worldsmall and people are angry at the outcome of

    their hopes and dreams. They are in need of

    some good news.

    There is no pilot ships headed out to Mars,

    Jupiter or any other planet.

    The conceptual propaganda that has shapedour nation and the world is being overtakenby the truth.

    Religion as a connotation word is now

    impacting politics again.

    Those religions, inclusive of secular humanismwhich is the religion of mans self sufficiency,

    are all calling upon their gods power to

    intervene. Islam driven by jihad, Buddhism

    driven by goodness, humans trying to

    preserve the mind for immortality.

    God is up to something, you see the two beast

    in the book ofRevelation are comprised of a

    religious and a political leader.

    The ecumenical movement of our world

    operating inside of tolerance will give power

    and endorsement to the political regime. I

    wish I could tell that prophetic leader that the

    man of sin is going to turn on him.

    Would someone hold the door ?

    I dont know if the coming judgment can be

    delayed or impacted but I am willing to givean effort to see more souls added to the

    kingdom.

    Who will spy out the land in ourgeneration?

    Hebrews 6:4-6 (New King James Version)

    4 For it is impossible for those who were onceenlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift,and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5

    and have tasted the good word of God and the

    powers of the age to come,6

    if they fall away,[a]

    torenew them again to repentance, since theycrucify again for themselves the Son of God, andput Him to an open shame.

    Acts 4:7And when they had set them in the midst, theyasked, By what power or by what name have youdone this?

    We have been delegated and authorized by Jesus torepresent him in this world. All power has beengiven to Him, He now has given and authorized thechurch to act as His body in His behalf. When they

    ask, as Pharaoh ask, Who sent you? We have theanswer.
