Top SEO through Google Tools

I have been teaching pastors groups and individuals how to rank high on google search engine.  Google search engine is the gold standard in my opinion.  Since Google owns Youtube, you can combine the strategies.  Youtube search engine is becoming a major force as well. What do I teach?  I begin helping ministries and churches and Christian businesses by suggesting 4 simple strategies:  You can check out my Youtube channel to see how it is done. We here are Kingdom Life University IT are committed to help you!

1. Open a gmail account under your church name or your individual name.

2. Once your gmail account is open, immediately activate your google+ account.

3. Open a google blog called "blogspot".  It can be found on your gmail bar under the 

drop down menu.  That is the 6 little dots in a square next you your picture.  Study that six dot drop down menu as they show you all the google tools you can use.

4. Open your own youtube channel.  Begin uploading videos..they don't have to be long and can simply be done with a smart phone or simple video camera.  Remember the better quality videos you produce and publish, the more listeners you will get.  

Remember in everything...CONTENT REIGNS.  Strategies without good content are short lived.  Give something of value in your google blogspot posts and your youtube videos. People will keep coming back for more.  We at Kingdom LIfe University are committed to get your message out to the world.  We will assist you and help you set up your google tools. Watch for workshops and pastors meetings where Dr. Brandt is speaking.  Come to those meetings.  The video below was taped at one of those meetings.  Then most of all... GET STARTED with the simple google tools.  I will explain in the next post, how to combine these 4 strategies together for maximum SEO.  SEO is Search Engine Optimization.

Online Christian Broadcasting

Having just traveled to the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas recently, I realized that we are definitely at the cutting edge and in the front line of online Internet Christian Broadcasting.  With 24/7 streaming radio and now a complete television network of ministry channels, we have the tools to take people's message around the world.  With thousands of people finding us online weekly, you can touch nations like Russia and China that are closed to traditional evangelism methods.  Our "APPS" with both 'WATV' and 'Kbbnetwork', are 5 seconds away from reaching 1.75 billion people in the world who use smart phones and tablets. Just tap the "app" and bingo you are live on the air right on your phone or tablet. People like Dr. Jonathan Hanson's World Ministries International who broadcast with us, have their expansive audience take out their cell phones and download the "app" before they preach. Then at the end of his message, Dr.Hanson just simply says, "If you want to hear me daily tap your 'WATV' app on your phone at 6:30 pm,  Mon-Fri."  He knows it is a great way to stay connected daily to his large following of supporters.

How do you become one of our broadcasters?

Dr. Myles Munroe - You Touched Our Lives!

I was greatly grieved and surprised at the passing and Dr. Munroe, his wife and some of his top ministry leaders in the crash of his Lear 35 on approach to the Grand Bahama's. Dr. Munroe, 60, and his entourage were traveling to Grand Bahamas to attend the 2014 Global Leadership Forum that he organized.  He planned to have dinner in Freeport about 90 minutes after his plane's scheduling landing with former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, a speaker at the event. I have personally been touched and influenced more by Dr. Myles teaching than any other teacher. Dr. Munroe had a grasp of kingdom truth unparalleled.  His legacy of books and materials will live on as a testimony of his clarity and passion for the kingdom of God.  Having been raised in the Bahama's, he understood kingdom principles better than most of us. You can google his teachings online or purchase one of his many books.  I have handed out books from his teaching more than any other mentor.  

                                                                    

Setting People Free from Demon Possession

  Jesus announced His mission after coming out of the wilderness having just been tempted by Satan for 40 days.  He goes to the temple and reads Isaiah 61:1-2  "The Spirit of the Lord is now upon me for He has anointed me to .. proclaim liberty to the captives."  Jesus spent almost 1/3 of His ministry casting out demons.  We should also.  I have always been interested in knowing how to do this.  I learned from the many years of street ministry on the streets of San Francisco.  It was almost a weekly episode.  Sometimes a bit dramatic.  I have seen demons come out with a loud voice, with cries of desperation, and sometimes simply quietly.  But I have seen many people set free. Drug addicts, prostitutes and people who have particularly given their bodies over to demons in the occult. But as I often mention, the meanest demons are religious ones.  They are the ones that crucified Jesus.  I am going to talk these next few days about how to cast out demons.  If you want to see people set free, truly set free, you need to know how to do this. Remember Jesus said one of His main missions on earth was,  "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil."  I John 3:8

Power over nature - Is it ours?

 Jesus said that "If you believe, the works that I do you shall do also, and greater works than these shall you do because I go to my Father."  John 14:12  Since Jesus operated on delegated authority that was given to Him by the Father, we have been given the same power by Jesus!  Remember John 5:27 "The Father gave Jesus authority on earth to execute judgement because He (Jesus) was the Son of Man." Here,John the writer, emphasizes Jesus humanity to show that Jesus was operating under delegated authority.  Why?  Because Jesus knew we, as only humans, would be operating under the same principle. So Jesus later said all authority in heaven and earth was His and He gave it to us! (Matthew 28:18 - 19)  But it operates by faith.  If you believe you have His power, you have it. He said, "Have I not given you power, on earth, to cast out demons and over all the power of the enemy..."  Luke 10:19  His power in and through us is only limited by our faith.  Faith can move mountains... but it has to be received and released on earth. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You can only declare by faith what is clearly declared in GOD'S WORD! Beyond that it is assumption and presumption. Fill your heart and mind with scripture that releases your faith. Then confess the words with you mouth. Circumstances and old failures will not do. Put those behind you and renew your mind with God's unchallenged power... His uncompromising word! You can learn more about kingdom living and become a student of God's word.  Write you own living commentary of the entire New Testament by signing up for Kingdom Life University.

Discover your Purpose - Found in God's Goodness!

  God's pleasure is your prosperity!  God, by His goodness and providence, has created the universe to serve His pleasure and He delights in showing this to His children.  He even went so far as to say, "All things work together for good to those who love Him., to those who are called according to His purpose."  Rom. 8:28  He also adds, "If an earthly father knows how to give good gifts to his children, how much more does the heavenly Father know how to give good gifts to us."  Wow!  Are we getting it?  Don't let your past failures, disappointments and discouragement block His love.  I pray today your love may increase in revelation of How much God loves you.  May the Holy Spirit open your heart to receive this awesome truth.  You give God pleasure...quite a thought, right?  Yes, Eric Liddell the uncompromising Olympic racer said that he felt God's pleasure when he ran. Why?  Because he was able to receive this revelation knowing he was fulfilling his purpose.....that he was loved and was running to give God pleasure.  When we find out our purpose and run our race we give God pleasure!   Find out more about God's will for you life, enroll in Kingdom Life University.  Your Time, Your Place, Your Destiny!

God's Providence - Goodness manifest

  Providence is God using all the resources of His creation to show us His love.  When we look over our past life, we can see God's hand over and over again directing people to us at exactly the right time, supplying our needs at the right time, and caring for us with His gentle love.  Providence exalts the sovereignty of God.  God is in control of everything in our lives that we place in His hands.  "All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose."   In today's video I share the story of Isabella, my daughter, and how she could have been seriously injured, but God by His divine providence had already allowed a bad repair on my car that saved her from broken fingers and a broken hand.  I love to reflect on how God has demonstrated His great wisdom and grace in protecting me again and again. The first airplane I bought was a Bonanza.  The gas tanks had been improperly installed and showed the wrong amount of fuel in the tanks. Flying home to Colorado they became empty but one showed still 3/4 full on the gage.  I ran out of fuel flying the airplane home from Indianapolis where I had bought it.  When the engine stopped, it was right over the top of the Brush, Colorado airport.  I was a 8 thousand feet and had plenty of time to prepare for an emergency landing. I circled the airport several times and prepared for the approach and landing.  I actually rolled out at the exit of the runway almost right up to the gas pumps!  Talk about providence.  God is good!

Greater Revelation - Looking to Jesus

   To receive a greater revelation of Jesus Christ you must increase your capacity to receive His love. Peter tried to express his love for Jesus over and over by performance and self effort.  Jesus finally had to ask Peter three times, "Do you love me"?  Like many of us, we try to love God and even want Him to know it.  But the apostle John had learned the secret of receiving Christ's love by building intimacy with Christ.  So much so, he was able to lay his head on Jesus breast and not be embarrassed. John said over and over again, "I am the disciple whom Jesus loved".  He did not see his love for Christ but Christ's love for him!  That is the key to receiving a greater revelation of Jesus Christ.  How do we increase our capacity to receive His love?  

1. Receive His forgiveness.  Shame blocks love. Jesus is perfect and perfectly forgets our sins once we have confessed them.  "He removes them and places them in the depths of the sea and remembers them no more." ... He perfectly forgets!!!

2. Read His word.  I know it almost sounds too good to be true.  It's because His grace provides His love, not our performance.  We understand this totally by FAITH, and faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  Ephesians says, "That you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height -  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."  (3:18-20)

3. Repeat it over and over again to your heart!  We have been so taught that God is not good, that He is to blame for all the terrible things on earth and in our lives.  This Satanic lie has distorted the truth that Jesus came to reveal two things about God the Father... "Grace and Truth".  Keep repeating over and over and over... "I am the disciple whom Jesus loves" until it begins to connect to the truth of God's love.  

Because John understood this simple truth, He received the entire book of Revelation of Jesus Christ!  Please watch the 3 minute video above to receive more revelation about this great truth

His Power... Your Power... Amazing - Ephesians 1

How would you like to be over all principalities, powers and rulers of this world? Men of power have been striving to take their kingdoms and empires world-wide and to conquer all other kings. Men like the Ceasars, Nepoleon, Hitler and the ancient empires of the Romans, Greeks and Medo Persians. Empires rise and fall.  But there is one kingdom that shall last forever. "Of the increase of His (Jesus Christ) kingdom and His government there shall be no end." ( Isaiah 9:6) We often don't view the Kingdom of God as a government.  We think it is some kind of invisible kingdom of the heart and will never manifest outward in the natural world.  Nothing can be further from the truth.  God's kingdom and government has always been expressed with natural order on earth.  In the Old Testament God was king of Israel and the prophets, like Samuel, were His earthly spokesmen.  Then Israel wanted an earthly king and Saul became that king.  David completed the restoration of Israel's earthly kingdom after Saul in disobedience lost both territory and earthly authority.  Jesus then came as a descendant of David which gave Him earthly rights of inheritance.  But Jesus went beyond any earthly king and established His right to rule not only the natural realm but the spiritual.  He defeated Satan and took possession of even the keys to hell.  We know that because in the book of Revelation, Satan has to go to Jesus to get the keys to hell itself to release the scorpion demons that will torture men. Jesus, after His resurrection then announced that "All power has now been given unto Me in heaven and earth."  ( Matthew 28:18) Satan today is simple operating by permission.  Satan had admitted at the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness that this power had "been given unto him".  Now comes the big story!  Through our identification with Christ, we have been seated in heavenly places!  All that Christ has is now ours because He chose to give us His kingdom.  No place in Scripture is clearer than Ephesians chapter 1.  All things were given to Jesus because He fulfilled all righteousness and then He "gave all things over to the church, His body" Ephesians 1   How is Jesus authority expressed in this church age?  Clearly through the 5 - fold ministries.  These, by Jesus own words are the "Headship Ministries" of Christ today.  Apostles (first), prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.  Satan has tried to discredit especially the office of apostles and prophets with much of the evangelical church. This is greatly unfortunate, because it diminishes the authority and power on earth of Christ's present ruler  ship.  We will find later in our study of Ephesians chapter 4, that these 5-fold ministries bring the body of Christ to full maturity and preparation for the return and earthly reign of Christ which we call His "Second Coming". Much of the church is in deception, as Paul said it would be, about the purpose of Christ's return. Many see it as an escape off this earth and all it's troubles.  God's word teaches it is not an escape, but an establishment of Christ's rule over planet earth.  If you want more information, please go to my studies on the book of Revelation.  Please take a few minutes and listen through the first chapter of Ephesians to see who Christ is and who you are "in Him".

"His Blessings become our Blessings"

Love Obama - Romans 13 Christians & Government

I know the popular trend is to bash our president.  I realize that he is just a man and will make many good and bad decisions.  But I really have a difficult time with the general attitude toward our national leaders by conservatives and many in the Christian community. What does the the bible say? Romans 13 is about as clear a passage on our attitude toward government as you can get.  Those that oppose and resist God's appointed leaders, for that is what He calls them, will come under the judgment of God. Romans 13:1 - 2 "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."  Romans actually says those who resist will experience God's wrath! WOW!  Have we been getting this all wrong. I know there will be many of you that disagree at this point because you feel it is your responsibility to criticize, put down and degrade our president.  Do I agree with president Obama on all his decisions?  Absolutely not! But I respect his God given appointment.  David chose not to criticize King Saul, even though he had many legitimate arguments against this king.  He said, "I will not touch the Lord's anointed."  Is the church largely experiencing lack of power today in other areas of blessing and authority because we simply don't follow a command as clear as the nose our face? I am not saying that all Christians bash our president, but many do. Let's repent!  Remember Paul was writing this book of Romans under much worse government than we have in the USA.  How about Nero running our government?  Also Paul said we should willingly pay taxes because it is the responsibility to do so for any nation.  I know this post will be as popular as an alligator in your back yard, but truth is truth.  How can you argue Romans 13?  Now if the government says we must deny our faith, we are subject to a higher power... God's kingdom!  But remember that when you go to the higher power of God's purpose you will suffer the wrath of that human government.  You may be be flogged, imprisoned or even executed.  Let's thank God for a government like America that provides us such freedom to worship Him openly!  Protect it we must and respect we must! Let's pray for those in authority. Let's love them with Christ's love!  Paul gives 4 arguments in Romans 13 why we should be subject to governmental powers.  
  1. For wrath's sake - (that is the wrath of God against those who resist)
  2. For conscience sake
  3. For love's sake
  4. For the savior's sake

5-fold Church Governing Gifts of Jesus

The gifts of the Spirit that came directly from the hand of Jesus Christ are called the "Headship Ministries" or 5-fold gifts of Ephesians chapter 4:11.  "He gave some  to be as apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some pastors & teachers."  Why?  To govern His church with authority and love.  Why has Satan discredited some of these gifts for today.... particularly the gifts of apostle and prophets? Because Satan is trying to remove the authority Jesus gives on earth to execute His kingdom in this age.  The gift of the apostle was the first discredited through church history, and will be the last to be restored before the coming of the Lord.  Where the apostolic gift has not been discredited, it has be distorted!  Self appointed ministers running around calling themselves apostles who are not "called to be an apostle" as Paul stated. Paul said even in his day some "false apostles" had come in among the sheep. So we are not surprised.  True apostles will always be recognized in their office before appointed by contemporaries who understand the true gift.  They are literally functioning apostles before they allow themselves to be called as such.  Apostle's do foundation work of planting churches, reaching unreached territory that has never heard the gospel,, and establishing God's work with the authority that comes directly from Christ. They carry "signs and wonders" as confirmation from Jesus Christ Himself. They change atmosphere's over cities as Paul and Silas did in Philippi. They may land in jail but usually don't stay long, both leading the jailers to Christ and starting a church. Why do I teach on apostolic alignment?  Because it is vital in this day for accomplishing true kingdom work in your city. Find an apostle and attach!  Build a close relationship with an apostle to which God has called you or to which you choose to walk. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is both for your protection, direction and anointing.  Prophets follow along with apostles.  They are spiritual :"seers".  They discern what God is saying "now" to the church.   7 times in Revelation, picturing the end-time church, God says "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the church." This is by far the most important call of the church today... knowing God's "now" word for the church, the city, the nation and the world. This is possibly one of the most important teaching I do today.  Please listen to his video teaching and make your comments below.

Israel - Her Future Destiny!

You will recall that I mentioned something significant would happen in Israel in 2014 -2015 around the 4 blood moons.  Also I mentioned through my prophecy I gave in December of 2013, that the number 4 is significant for 2014.  It has begun!  Hamas has activated conflict by firing over 2,000 rockets toward Israel.  Yet the world media is showing the death of civilians in the Gaza strip and among the Palestinians. Israel would likely have the same number of deaths if she didn't have the "Iron Dome" protection of interceptor rockets shooting down the incoming rockets of Hamas. The Hamas purposefully places these rocket launchers around hospitals and mosques and in key places to create civilian deaths.  This is all part of a propaganda campaign to create anger and animosity toward Israel for simply defending herself.  Wouldn't America aggressively respond if 2/3rd of American cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other major cities were being rocketed daily?  As I was praying for Israel tonight I felt I should write this post.  A new alignment is forming both for and against Israel.  Praise God that America, and especially the Christian community, is responding in support of Israel. Remember that something significant is going to happen in Israel around the 4 blood moons both this year and next.  This is not the first time this kind of conflict has occurred between Israel and her neighbors. It happened in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012 and now in operation "Protective Edge" in 2014.  Now, however, more sophisticated rockets are being deployed, mainly from Iran's supply to Hamas. Why is this round of conflicts significant?  It is polarizing radical Islam against both Israel and the United States. Things are building toward a greater escalation of events in preparation for the antichrist.  We live in an age of greater social communication skills among our enemies. Propaganda levels are rising among radicals. This conflict may close within days, but it also may grow into something significant very shortly.  Perhaps America will finally take her stand aggressively against Iran's supply of these rockets to Hamas. America and Israel must not let Iran continue her development of atomic weapons. Could we be on the edge of a much larger conflict?  Could this be a part of a great awakening spiritually for Israel as she joins together with the Christian community which now seems to be Israel's biggest ally?  Here is my study on Romans 11, the chapter Paul the apostle wrote almost 2,000 years ago concerning Israel's spiritual awakening at the end of this age.

                                                                         

Freedom - our declaration of Independence - Romans 8

Jesus loved us enough to die for us, the Holy Spirit loves us enough to live in us!  Through the Holy Spirit we now have our freedom from our flesh and the law.  We are free!  Romans 8 is our declaration of freedom, "There is therefore, now no condemnation to those who walk in the Spirit.." (Rom. 8)  We are no longer obligated to the flesh, we are no longer condemned by the law.  A new principle has taken over our lives, it is called the "law of the Spirit of liberty in Christ Jesus who has overcome the law of sin and death".  Once we know that our flesh has been crucified (identification) and the law has been satisfied (by the obedience of Christ), we are free!  Now we are clothed in His righteousness alone and we walk by faith in the Spirit daily yielding to the Holy Spirit's control.  Little wonder the apostle Paul declared in Romans 8, "Who can separate us from the Love of Christ." His logical argument is, "If Christ already died for us, shall the Father, through Christ also not provide us freely all things?" Since the flesh is to weak to overcome itself, one greater has sat down at the right hand of the Father and we say, "I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me and gave Himself for me."  Now we have confidence, not condemnation.  Now Satan cannot accuse us any longer. He has been defeated by the blood of the Lamb and our word of testimony.. "Satan you are a looser and have lost your power over me". Make your declaration of independence this day. "We the people of the kingdom of God, in order to form a more perfect union with Christ and each other, herein declare this day that the blood of Jesus Christ has united us under the King of kings and with His own blood he has formed this union. As one body we bow to His rightful authority which he holds through original creation and redemption. Because of this one Man's obedience to fulfill the law by His life, death and resurrection has provided us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We declare therefore, that we are no longer under the tyranny of the flesh and law of bondage."    We are now free!

                                             Romans 8 - Great chapter of our Liberty!

                                                                            

Romans 6 - Living the Resurrection Life

Overcoming the flesh is possibly the biggest issue of our Christian life.  One person has said, "You can be victorious today, but give the flesh one nights rest and it is ready to take over in the morning"!  How true.  Paul the apostle dealt with this issue in Romans 6.  He actually gives us the solution!  Now that's significant.  The key according to Paul is something he calls identification with Christ.  That is done by faith not works.  Do you know there is nothing you can do to overcome the flesh!  It is already done!  But we must identify with it by faith. Everything that really works in the Christian life is done by faith!  Christ fulfilled all righteousness for us and for us to add to it insults His work. So what is our part?  We must believe we are crucified with Him, buried with Him, risen with Him, seated with Him and now reigning with Him!  Too simple. Maybe that's why it isn't working for you.  Name one New Year resolution that really stuck?  We stumble over the simplicity of Christ. We take classes on how to overcome, we make resolutions, commitments and try the best we can in the flesh. In fact we have been working on some sins for years without good results of overcoming.  Paul says, "How can we that are dead to sin live any longer in it?"  Paul takes us through three steps of faith.  First to KNOW about this truth.  Second is to RECON it for yourself and third is to YIELD yourselves to God's Spirit as having done the first two.  The key then is focusing on the person of Christ. Stop focusing on the sin... it will only get worse!  Paul says to Timothy, "meditate on these things, give yourself wholly to them, that you profiting may appear unto all.  For in doing this you will both save yourself and them that hear you." Paul says that Romans 6 is about SANCTIFICATION not salvation.  He already has dealt with all the doctrines of salvation in Romans 1 - 5.  Sanctification is Christ's IMPARTED righteousness given to us to make us holy. Wow does that sound too deep?  Imparted simply means Christ gives us HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to us and we receive it daily by faith.  We literally cloth ourselves daily in His righteousness... again it's to KNOW, RECON & YEILD to the power of the Holy Spirit by faith to perform His word in us.  It's that simple!  

Paul says, "Clothed in His righteousness alone".  The Pharisee big mistake was trying to establish their own righteousness.  Most religious people today are still doing the same thing
and wondering why their Christian life is so shallow.  The three greatest words in the New Testament are when Christ said, "It is finished".  Take less than  30 minutes to watch this teaching...it could change your life!

Book of Romans - Foundation of Faith

The Book of Romans has affected more great Christian leaders than any book of the bible. The simple phrase, "The just shall live by faith" changed the hearts of men like Saint Augustine. John Wesley was saved listening to the reading of Luther's commentary on Romans.  Martin Luther formed the reformation around the book of Romans. This book creates a foundation of faith based on true doctrines like righteousness,  justification, propitiation, redemption, identification, adoption, election and sanctification.  Unless you understand these doctrines, you cannot understand who you are in Christ nor understand what Christ has done for you.  
   Reformer John Calvin wrote that "If a man understands Romans he has a sure road open to him to the understanding of the whole Scripture." Gleason Archer concurs, saying, "There is no more complete compendium of the Christian doctrine in the sixty-six books of the Bible than the Epistle to the Romans." Likewise, Dr. Lloyd-Jones called it "a colossal and incomparable statement of Christian truth."  
   Paul outlined his own writings when he wrote II Timothy 3:16  "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine (Romans), for reproof (I & II Corinthians) for correction (Galations) and for instruction in righteousness (Philippians, Ephesians & Colossians).  Romans is the beginning of understanding the new testament.  I challenge you to take the time and effort to renew your understanding of this great salvation that has appeared to all men and by which we are saved. It will bring a new appreciation of the person of Jesus Christ and His absolute provision for us.  Romans answers the sin question entirely.  It answers the question of how we overcome the flesh entirely. It makes clear and concise statements about homosexuality and lesbianism.  It answers the questions of Israel and the church and the final restoration of Israel in the end of this age.  It answers the questions of how we should operate under our government, oppressive or not.  Romans will unlock the keys to the "mind of Christ" that we should have toward ourselves and our world. It will clearly affect your World-View.  It has the power to bring another reformation!

50 Year Celebration - Thank you Lord!

1964 Launching my ministry

Today is my 50th year celebration of ministry.  On June 14th fresh out of Bob Jones University I traveled to Loveland, Colorado and Faith Baptist Church hired me as their associate pastor. We moved into the basement apartment of one of the church families and began the long journey of ministry that leads to my celebration tonight at 6:00 pm in our new office building here in Tampa, Florida.  You might watch the video below to catch a bit of the journey. 


 What have I learned in 50 years?

1. Integrity is longevity.  To have anything that lasts it must be centered in integrity...everything else fads away.  The things that have lasted in my life have only been those centered in integrity.

2. Life has seasons.  I recall the many season I have gone through and, believe me, each season comes to a close.  Their have been seasons of wonderful blessings, incredible lack and struggle, great disappointment, great growth and wonder, powerful revelation and astounding miracles.  But the sustaining force was the faithfulness of God.  His loving kindness and goodness has overcome any setbacks, betrayals, failures and lack on my part.. David explained it this way....overall  "My lines have fallen in pleasant places".  It has been exciting and no question the greatest adventure in life discovering the secrets of the "Kingdom of God" with it's new authority and also receiving a greater revelation of my standing as a "King and Priest" unto my God!  

3. In my flesh dwells no good thing.  I know this is against popular religious thought, but at the risk of being non-religious, I have discovered that the total "Righteousness of Christ" is sufficient for everything I need in life and godliness.  I have learned, especially later in life, that a passionate love affair with Jesus Christ and being obsessed and addicted to Jesus is the only thing that really satisfies my spirit, soul and body.  I have found that in Jesus Christ all the "fullness of God dwells".  And that "I am complete in Him".  The book Colossians has remained my favorite book of the bible.  I discovered it at Jr. High School camp well over 50 years algo and it never left me. I was taught inductive bible study and outlining and that also became the standard my entire life study of the word. 

                                    
                                                                                

True Gospel - False Gospel

They tell me that if you work at a bank and handle a lot of money, you can immediately tell when a bill is fake by it's touch.  You know the fake by knowing the real.  Paul said, "I know nothing among you but Jesus Christ and Him crucified."  Paul later defined the gospel in  I Corinthians 15:3 "For I delivered unto you that which I also received, that Christ died for you according to the scripture, that He was buried, and that He rose again according to the scriptures".  This is the gospel also "by which you are saved"  (verse 2).  Satan is a deceiver and an anti-Christ.  His demons dwell primarily in religion.  They don't deny that there is a gospel, but bring "another gospel" Jesus warned, "Many will come in my name saying I am christ, and deceive many".  How important is this?
1. The wrong gospel produces the wrong faith.  "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name given among men by which we are saved."  Faith does not save you, but the object of your faith.  "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." (Hebrews)
2. What then is the right gospel?  Paul said this gospel he received was not from man, neither did he receive it from man.  It came by revelation of Jesus Christ Himself.  Paul was separated unto Christ in the desert and Jesus clearly gave Him the "True Gospel". It came as a mystery, i.e. a formerly hidden truth that was now revealed. It was the apostolic doctrine upon which the true church was built.  "They continued in the apostles doctrine..from house to house and the Lord added daily to the church.."  (Acts 2:42)  The apostles doctrine was the revealed truth that the early apostles all agreed upon.  Their message was all the same.. Jesus Christ and Him crucified!

What are some of the "other gospels" preached today?
- The gospel of self achievement and self exaltation.  The better self image you have, the better life you will have. You hear this gospel even on Christian television and radio. Emotional lectures on how to improve yourself, look inside of yourself and you will see greatness.  
- The gospel of good works.  You can do it!  You can make something of your life by self effort and hard work. This is a performance based gospel.  
- The gospel of great ideas and man's philosophy.  Searching out the great thoughts of history's greatest leaders and thinkers.  These guides will take you to the level of greatness you desire.
- The Christless gospel.  Preaching that never brings the person of Christ into the central message. The preacher can talk about God in wide general terms.  These messages sound poetic and tickle the ears of the listeners, but never deal with the message of Christ's death, burial and resurrection.  They never deal with the real issue of man's sin and need of a savior.
- The false christ gospel.  Just because Jesus name is used in the church documents and tenets, does not mean it is the Christ of the true scriptures.  This again becomes the most deceitful of all false gospels.  How do we know the difference?  "All scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof and for correction in righteousness."  You must be committed to search the scriptures for in them you have eternal life.  Through diligent study and passion to know Christ, His revelation will come through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Your life (eternal) depends on it!

We could go on and on and see how Satan has deceived even the church. What then is the solution?  Go back to the word of God and see what God really says.  It says the simplicity of Christ is the only answer.  It is all about Jesus Christ, His death, burial and resurrection.  It is about the fact that "in our flesh dwells NO good thing".  What about "No Good" do we not understand?  It just does not seem to connect with our pride and self achievement. It takes true revelation of the Holy Spirit to convict and convince us that we absolutely need Jesus Christ and HIM ALONE and His complete righteousness to have right standing with the Father God. There is no second choice.. only Christ.
