The Beginning of Holistic Evangelism That Shines the Nations with the Light of Christ

 

Arise, shine.
Become shining and beautiful Christians spreading the light of Christ to the nations.

Then the risen Jesus Christ, who conquered death and is seated at the right hand of God’s throne, will work together with us and clearly testify the Word of promise through accompanying signs.

In Jesus Christ is life, and that life is the light of all people.

Though darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the peoples, the light of Christ has shone upon us.

When Christ reigns over us, the smallest will become a thousand, and the weakest a mighty nation.
The One who accomplishes this is the living God, Jesus Christ.

No matter how great a ruler or king arises in this world, there is always a limit.
No matter how great a prophet appears, there is always a limit.
No matter how great a priest serves, there is always a limit.

But Jesus Christ, who came to us with three offices as King, Priest, and Prophet, is the Alpha and the Omega, the Almighty God without limit.

Jesus Christ came into this world to set us free from endless cycles of conflict, worry, and anxiety, bound as slaves to the devil all our lives, fearing death. 
He is the King of kings who destroyed the devil's work.

Through the mysterious death on the cross, Jesus Christ freed us from the law of sin and death and brought us into the law of the Spirit of life.
He is the true Priest.

Jesus Christ, who came as the only way to meet God, is the true Prophet.

When you see anyone, proclaim Christ.
When you hear anything, proclaim Christ.
In every situation, proclaim and confess with one, whole, and persistent heart: “Jesus is the Christ.”
Then division disappears, darkness retreats, and diseases are healed.

Day by day, we will be radiant, our hearts will thrill and rejoice;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to us, and the riches of the nations will come to us.

Shining and beautiful Christians, spreading the light of Christ who gives the evidence of holistic healing to the nations, never neglect spiritual warfare.

When Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ, evil spirits came out with shrieks, the paralyzed were healed, the crippled rose up, and there was great joy in that city.

In Christ is the power of re-creation that gives life to all things.
Begin the holistic evangelism camp with the evidence of holistic healing.
Then, though we were once rejected and despised, and though no one came to us, now nations, kings, and multitudes will come to us, and we will become an everlasting beauty and a joy for all generations. Amen.
(Isaiah 60:1–22; John 1:1–4; 1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14–15; Romans 8:2; Mark 10:45; John 14:6; Acts 8:4–8; Mark 16:15–20)

The Thoughts of Re-Creation, The Secret to Becoming Lovable Before God and People

Image
The twelve-year-old Jesus was not an ordinary boy. As prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, Jesus was a shoot came up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch bore fruit upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested – the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. He was the fulfiller of the covenant. Born from the bosom of God, the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. However, Mary and Joseph, after twelve years, lost hold of that faith and searched for Jesus for three days with worry, frustration, and irritation, captured by the thoughts of the flesh. Jesus, the remnant who grew in stature and wisdom and in favor with God, knew he must be in his Father God’s house, the place of grace. However, his parents, who had strayed from the place of the covenant and grace, could not enjoy the blessing even with Jesus the Messiah right beside them. The Virgin Mary, who once sa...

A Gospel Community of Worship Centered on the Covenant: 315 Nation

Image
The descendants of Jacob, who possessed the covenant, were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. The genealogy of the covenant recorded by Moses is directly connected to God’s work of salvation. To be related to God’s work of salvation means to be headed toward the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey, the land where the Messiah would come. Though Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, the Israelites who stood within God’s work of salvation and timing were greatly blessed according to God's promise to make them as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea. When we worship centered on the covenant just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did, we will see evidence that we will increase and multiply by God’s method. This is the easiest way to overcome the world. We are not of the world, but are chosen by God. We are the remnants who carry God’s mission, the pilgrims who evang...

The Re-Creative Language that Transforms Our Thoughts Centered on the Gospel

Image
To love one another does not require much effort. If our thoughts are properly aligned with the gospel, we can love one another just as the Apostle John loved the elder Gaius. When we transform our thoughts centered on the gospel, we begin to speak the words of the gospel. The re-creative language Christians use brings prosperity to the soul, success in all things, and strength in health. "Beloved, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." Elder Gaius, who walked in the truth, was a disciple of Christ with the image of one worthy to be called “Beloved,” and used the language of the gospel. The Apostle John’s record of Elder Gaius, Demetrius the witness of the truth, and Diotrephes the hinderer of the gospel was intended to show that the outcome of the walk of faith depends on whether we crush the serpent’s head in the name of Jesus Christ who came to destroy the devil's work. Elder Gaius walked in th...
