The BEST christian evangelical message you've heard today! (Possibly in your life!) Study it!

* All this is written by me. If you are changed by it I will be held personally accountable. You will not be alone. Its YOUR choice either way. Don't let anyone stop you if YOU want to chose the narrow way. You will stand alone before God - so make your choice alone. Be brave stand up for what's right. I'm talking to YOU! *

Here's a little taste: ...comfort will be through the excessive use of alcohol, drugs, sex and or the accumulation of fame or wealth (to some is an attractive prospect although God also offers fame and wealth but unlike the common demons who will...

...You see you and me were made to be possessed. Sin caused God who is holy to leave us and now we have become possessed by many common demons and so God is right to say that we need Him to possess us again like it was in the beginning...

(You may think you've heard it all before but READ this. There ARE treasures on earth but the rarest of all is the pearl of great price. Acquire it! You WILL need it to enter heaven! - It's in this post somewhere. Search hard. Good luck.)

Please may I have a few minutes of your time to share with you the good news of the greatest story ever told & the story of the pearl which is of the greatest price?

The good news is this and the greatest story ever told is this, God has taken your sins upon Himself and no longer holds them against you. You are free from sin. The pearl of greatest price is the story of a pearl merchant who finds an exceptionally valuable pearl and so in his excitement he quickly goes and sells all that he has to buy that pearl because he knows it is a more valuable pearl than all the other pearls. - You can find this full story in a book in the bible called Matthew and its in chapter 13 and in verse 45 & 46.* I suggest the KJV (King James Version) or the NIV (New International Version).

The greatest story ever told (Part 1)

1: Problem With Sin - Has anyone ever hurt you before or has anyone ever wronged you? Have you wronged yourself or hurt yourself? Have you ever wronged anyone or hurt anyone? We all have. This is called sin.

2: The God Situation - God who made heaven and earth is completely holy. Holy means whole, complete, full, not lacking in anything. He is completely NOT broken. In order for God to be completely holy He has to punish sin. God punishes sin in different ways but ultimately the punishment for sin is death. You and me can still live in this world and sin but ultimately we will have to face God and receive the punishment of our sin which is death. This is a problem because sin infects every singly person who ever lived and it is incurable so inevitably you and I are going to stand in front of a holy God and receive death as a penalty for our sins. So every single person who ever lived must die because of sin, that includes you and me.

3: If You Don't Want To Die - There is a way not to die. Imagine you could find a way so that your sins could be not held against you and not just that but taken away completely. Imagine standing before God expecting to receive the wages of your sin which is to die and instead of, 'I find the defendant guilty!' and proceeds to bestow upon him/her the death sentence to be carried out in a timely manner, You hear instead, 'Well done my good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord. Prepare for God and His holy angels.' Imagine as they escort you from the court room of heaven to the doors of heaven so you can enter in and receive eternal life and all your rewards for living a good life you ask, 'Why am I going to heaven I thought I was going to receive the death sentence?' And some one says to you, 'Don't worry about it its been taken care of, somebody died in your place.' Would you not like to know who this person was who took the death penalty you deserved so you could receive a full pardon and everlasting life? What if I was to tell you that you don't have to die that there IS actually someone who took the death penalty upon himself so you could live?

4: Something Happened In Heaven And On Earth To Make This Possible - God saw that man had a problem and decided to have mercy because He is holy and because He is holy He MUST also show great mercy. So to show His mercy He (God) became a baby and was born on earth. He grew up on earth and lived a perfect life. You may have heard of a man named Jesus Christ? Yes that was God who lived among us. God grew into a man and then let the Romans and the Pharisees and sadducees put Him on trial and Poncious Pilate gave HIM the what? Death sentence. Do you know they could find no one to testify against Him? They eventually had to pay thugs to testify falsely against Him. He was innocent of all the things they accused Him of, in fact He had lived a sinless and PERFECT life and did NOT deserve death but He accepted His sentence and He let them carry out the sentence on him, which at that particular time was crucifixion, that is they nailed you to a wooden cross and you ended up suffocating to death. So God BECAME a baby, grew up to be a man and received the penalty for living a sinful life so we don't have to. God fulfilled the Mercy side of His holy nature in that simple act of kindness so now there IS somebody who didn't HAVE to but they chose to die for you in your place, so God saw that you and I were on our way to die and He said, 'No man, I don't want you to die.' I want you to live.' And so He received a death sentence and died a very cruel and unusual death called crucifixion. He paid the price for the sin of the entire human race and now no body has to eventually die because the high price of sin has been paid for in full by the death of someone who had totally NO sin.

5: There Is A Small Condition - You have to believe. You have to believe in the whole story. You must turn to God and be reconciled to God through Jesus. You must be baptized with water and with the Holy Spirit and you must read your bible and tell others about this good news and pray but more than that, more than that... You must live your life the way God intended you to live it. You must appreciate natural beauty and delight in the wonders of creation. You must talk to God about everything and you must love your brothers and in this world you must be a living message to the whole world that God exists and that He is HOLY. You must by any means possible get this salvation message out to the rest of the world in hopes that a few will return to God and avoid the penalty for sin that comes upon us often without warning. There is only ONE way God made for us to be with Him again and that is what greatest story ever told teaches us. Its the BEST news ever!

6: In This World You Will Find Persecution But Persevere - In this world you might find that even though you have found the peace with God that comes through believing in everything Jesus was and is you may still find that people mock you and ridicule you, you must just pray for them and realize that not everyone will accept your message because they love SIN more than God. (I think they just haven't properly understood the gospel but anyway...) You must persevere in your ministry and faith because your reward is in the life to come where you will receive eternal life instead of death and a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no more sin, sickness, poverty, pain, tears or death. A land that CANNOT be shaken! Cont.

This is your reward, eternal life with God and His Christ in heaven and paradise so persevere and don't give up your faith even though they put you to death at times. Your reward outweighs any persecution or pain on this world by far so spread the good news message of reconciliation by any means and endure persecution with faith until the end. You may use only means which are holy to spread this message and not by force or violence like the false witnesses. 'Be HOLY as I am Holy.' says the Lord.

7: Let Us Not Neglect The Fellowship Of The Saints As Some Have Done - We who have this message must live like we have it. Our lives must show hope, courage, love and peace but more that also overpowering Joy! We must worship and celebrate and praise God and His Christ constantly in our own lives and regularly as a church.

8: The Pearl Of Great Price - May I introduce you to the third member of the Holy trinity, the Holy Spirit? The pearl of great price. Without the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives no one might be saved. It is said of Him that He is our deposit that guarantees us of our inheritance to come. He is the pearl of great price. If you find Him you must do everything you can to obtain Him as He is of exceeding great value. If God is the creative side of the Trinity and Jesus is the Humanity side the Holy Spirit is God's conscience. You are to invite this 'spirit' to enter your body as God's Spirit is holy and will not force His way to possess you. Instead as a perfect gentleman He stands outside and knocks and waits patiently. With a world of so many spirits wanting to possess you all of them common demon spirits, why not make the choice to be possessed by the rare and exceedingly valuable Spirit of God? Common demon spirits will depress you and oppress you and you will be negative and suicidal and hateful and angry and the only way you will be able to find any comfort will be through the excessive use of alcohol, drugs, sex and or the accumulation of fame or wealth (to some is an attractive prospect although God also offers fame and wealth but unlike the common demons who will require of you your soul for the wealth they give you which also multiplies your misery, God offers you fame, wealth and fortune for free without any hidden cost.) If you allow yourself to be possessed by a common demon then you will die having not met God's ONE condition for salvation and you will fall eventually into the hands of a Holy God who is Holy and so must sentence you with death there there will be no one to pay for you or take your place and so you will pay for yourself with your own life and you will be carried off to join all the others who will wait for the executioners fire. If you invite the rare and exceedingly valuable Holy Spirit of God, who stands at the door and knocks to possess you then it becomes not so much a possession but a partnership and your life will become more fruitful and you will find peace with God and you will know the truth and you will find purpose and fulfillment and you will break the devils chains and live a life filled with love and hope and beauty (and excitement - if God calls you to share the good news in dangerous places) and you will have fulfilled the ONE requirement of God for eternal life, possession by His rare and exceedingly valuable Holy Spirit and you will receive a full heavenly pardon and receive eternal life. You see you and me were made to be possessed. Sin caused God who is holy to leave us and now we have become possessed by many common demons and so God is right to say that we need Him to possess us again like it was in the beginning because if you're not possessed of God then you're possessed by common demons and your place is with the common demons in the common world and you will receive a common fate BUT if you believe that the work of Jesus (who was God come to earth as a baby and who grew up amongst us) was to shed the Holy Spirit abroad in our hearts and you invite the rare and exceedingly valuable Holy Spirit to possess you with holiness then you will receive rare and valuable eternal life and knowledge and truth and you will KNOW GOD and BE LIKE GOD, really and not like the lie the devil told us with the apple. The Holy Spirit is the real apple and you will KNOW GOD and BE LIKE GOD. The pearl of greatest price is the Holy Spirit. Will you invite Him to possess you? Do you believe in everything Jesus was and is and will you join the family of God's Spirit on earth? Do you want to KNOW GOD and BE LIKE GOD? You need to acquire the pearl of greatest price.

9: Where To Start? - Start by realizing that there is a God in heaven and He is Holy. Realize that He listens to your prayers and He wants you to invite His conscience (the Holy Spirit) into you to possess you so He can reward you with life and eternal life and He can give you a heart of Gold in place of your heart of stone. Start by praying a prayer like this: Holy God in heaven I want to believe in all you say is true. Please help me. I believe in the trinity of father, son and Spirit. I open the door for your rare and exceedingly valuable Spirit to possess me mind, body and soul. Make me holy as you are holy. Thank you for forgiveness of my sins and a full heavenly pardon. I realize that all the holy angels of heaven are rejoicing now because of one sinner who repents. I pray I live my life in the light of this new revelation and I see all the fruits of keeping with repentance. Help me to give the good news to others and be kind to my immediate family and my greater family of others possessed by your spirit. I pray I live my life so worthy of finding my name written down in your book of life in heaven when the time comes for the books to be open. Let me see life through your eyes all the days of my life and let my words be your words and my actions be your actions. Today is the day of my salvation and I thank you God that the work you have started today, you will be holy and faithful and bring it to completion. Help me to read my bible and accept baptism in water as a sign of my new faith. Holy Spirit fill me and cleanse me, lead me and guide me, even so Lord Jesus come. Amen. This is a simple enough prayer to get you started but you need to be aware of the three different types of soil.

10: Why Would You Not Accept Such A Pure And Thorough Salvation? - You love sin. You don't believe. You don't want eternal life. You're procrastinating. You're much to tough for a namsy, pansy salvation. You believe in a different God. You're afraid. You're waiting for a sign, etc. Many are called but few are chosen. Sometimes it takes time to lead someone to the light and with so few christians out there actively sharing this message there might not be anyone with any time to get to you. I'm sorry about that. The harvest is full but the workers are few. The devil has his people out there and God has his its just a matter of who gets to you first. I pray you find the light and get this message and that another christian can also find time to get to you but still this is just so much one man can do to a big, big, big, wide world. I hope you can see I care enough to reach you unfortunately these are but seeds sewn along the wayside. I pray some might fall into some good soil and produce a harvest 100, 200, 500 times what was sewn. READ this message again and see the good, good, good news. GOD IS NO LONGER HOLDING YOUR SINS AGAINST YOU. HE OFFERS YOU A FREE GIFT. Cont.

YOU MAY NOW BE POSSESSED BY HIS RARE AND EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE HOLY SPIRIT. IF YOU BELIEVE!

P.S Take out the two I's from the word spirit and add an 0 and you get the word sport. Sport is a very clean and healthy way for christians (possessed by the spirit of God) to find excitement, exercise and fitness. Christians take back the sports of the world today!

May YOUR everlasting life begin today. Remember for a moment your history and remember WE DID take a bite from the apple that gives us the knowledge of good and evil. Its in our hands to know good and evil. Do you?

Thank you and God bless :-)

So... basically believe Jesus died for your sins and believe the bible is the infallible word of God? You didn't have to write all that to say just that, a few less words would have made your proselytizing a little more bearable.

Thing is, Islam uses the same kind of philosophy: believe the Koran is the infallible word of God and that Allah is the only true God. Seems like you guys are in the same boat falling for the same tricks.

Thank you for documenting your complete delusion of truth.

Although I am not a christian, I do appreciate the spirit of your post. I always welcome reading about spirituality, it challenges my mind.

I believe not. But I can nevertheless grant you a point when you point out that Man is in search for comfort - and unfortunately many dwell in darkness simply because that is homely to them.

Even I have my dark side. The battle between my dark and light sides is what defines me. Maybe heaven is not some place beyond the sky - maybe it is a simple state of mind. The man who succeeds in mastering his impulsions, and direct the energy of the forces (those which exist in his mind and are ever-shifting, like the sea) for betterment, actually helps make the World a better place - helps to make Earth a living "heaven".

If you're lucky, it won't take you as many years to figure out it's all a scam, as it did me.

Thank you for the positive message OP!

SnF

Send Bob 20 bucks.
Eternal salvation or triple your money back.
Can't find a better deal.

There Is A Small Condition - You have to believe. You have to believe in the whole story.

Darn. Looks like I'm out.

Oh well.

the greatest story ever told

As much as I love horror stories I must say that the Bible isn't the greatest one.

Ahhh, there's that good old 'Xtian vanity!
That's exactly the same vanity/Pride that kept Moses from the Promised Land, in the story!

All 'testimonies' are nothing more than an attempt to spread a particular strain of a 'belief infection'!
Some are, perhaps, more fruitful than others, depending on the resistance of the victim.
A 'belief' is an infection of the imagination, vanity!
Being consistently symptomatic, 'beliefs' must constantly be 'defended', 'validated/fed' and 'spread' (propagated)!
Such is vanity, conditional, and the symptoms never leave because they are never filled!
It is all 'conditional'.
Beliefs die, conditional.

'Faith' on the other hand, is an unconditional Virtue of unconditional Love!
Faith is Knowledge! Experience!
Faith never requires 'defense' or the rest!

Unconditional Love is it's own 'testimony', in everything that you ARE! Everything that you DO!
Unconditional Love never dies!
'Life' and 'death' are vanity, the unconditional transcends all that.

True, unconditional Love is ALWAYS recognized by It's unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith...
ALWAYS!

When people see this in you in your smallest doings, and that real Light be Shining, people will come to YOU of their own accord, like moths to a flame, asking what you have that is so special!
You never have to write 'validating' things like the above, never need to go up to people asking if the know 'Jesus', never have to 'defend'.
All those words are conditional ego, vanity, as your opening words so clearly display.

"Wake-up, wake-up. Behold the Self which shines like the sun!"
