The Lord is my strength and song; He has become my salvation

Psalm 118:14

Letter 1

Peace to you dear friends! If you have repented and accepted Jesus Christ, based on the Word of God, you are a child of God. The Bible says: And to those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave power to become children of God. Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. You are now a new creation created in Christ Jesus! You are now freed from the power of darkness! You are now the Lord's! Jesus said: And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. Abide in the Lord! Start your day by praying and reading His word! If you stumbled somewhere or did something displeasing to the Lord, ask for forgiveness and continue to stand in the Lord! Stand in faith! But now that you have been freed from sin and become slaves of God, your fruit is holiness, and the end is eternal life.


God bless you!



Letter 2

Dear friends! Sorrows also come in the life of a Christian. The Bible says: through much tribulation we must enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said: Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. After a person has repented and accepted Jesus Christ, a husband or wife, parents, children, other relatives, neighbors, friends or acquaintances sometimes rebel. In this case, you need to forgive them, pray for them and continue to stand in the Lord. One man accepted Jesus Christ and began to serve the Lord. When he came to his sister, she kicked him out. After that, she took his photograph and went to a fortune teller or sorceress so that she would “spell him” and so that he would no longer go to the Church of the Evangelical Christians. When this woman saw his photograph, she said that she could not help her because he belonged to another Master. Thank God we belong to the Lord! Afterwards, she repented and accepted Jesus Christ. Continue to serve the Lord in all circumstances of life. When trials, sorrows and difficulties come, continue to abide in the Lord. I heard the following testimony: some people repented after freedom came to the former Soviet Union. They felt that they were strengthened in the Lord and they prayed that the Lord would test their faith. One day the police came to their house and told them to get ready and gave them some time to get ready. When the police left, the husband said to his wife: let’s say that we won’t go to church anymore. And a few minutes later the police came to them again and wanted to tell them something, but the husband said: we will no longer go to church. The police started apologizing because they were in the wrong house. They came to the wrong house. Then the husband and wife went to church and repented of this. Dear friends, let us not fall away from our hope, let us abide in the Lord! If we failed somewhere, we repent and He, being faithful and righteous, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness! The Bible calls us to be patient in tribulation and constant in prayer. We also know that the Son of God came and gave us light and understanding, so that we may know the true God and may we be in His true Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.


God bless you!

Letter 3

Dear friends! Our Lord is holy. The Bible says: But, following the example of the Holy One who called you, be holy in all your actions; for it is written: Be holy, for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16) Although we sin a lot, if we repent, then the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. And this is how we must appear before God: let us approach with a sincere heart, with full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling, and having washed our bodies with clean water. One sister repented, but her speech remained dirty. She prayed and asked the Lord about it. The Lord cleared her speech. Make your requests known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God bless you!

Letter 4

Dear friends, let us stand in faith! The Bible says: Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith. It's like two wings: prayer and faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the assurance of things not seen. Where to get faith? The Bible says: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The Lord speaks through the Bible, through the Holy Spirit, through sermons, through singing, through communication with the Lord, and in different circumstances of life. The Bible warns: Therefore we must pay special attention to what we hear, lest we fall away. Dear friends, if you have wavered in your faith or allowed doubt or unbelief, you need to repent of this and continue to stand in faith, abiding in the Lord. For a little while, a very little, and the Coming One will come and will not tarry. The righteous will live by faith; but if [anyone] hesitates, My soul has no pleasure in him. You need patience so that, having fulfilled the will of God, you will receive what is promised. Knowing that testing your faith produces endurance.

May the Lord bless you to stand in faith. Stand in the Lord, no matter the circumstances!


Letter 4

Dear friends!

Another very important thing for a Christian is water baptism. Act 2 ch. 38st. Peter said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you were baptized as a child or had someone pray for you in church. Baptism is immersion. In Evangelical churches they baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Bible says: baptism is not the washing away of the uncleanness of the flesh, but the promise to God of a good conscience. Yes, you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and He saved you. Now you make a covenant with Him and want Him to lead you and bring you to Eternal life. After water baptism, you become or can become a member of the church and work for the glory of God. The Bible says: For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:26-27 May the Lord bless you to make a covenant with Him through water baptism!

Letter 5

Dear friends, the Lord wants to save your loved ones too! This is mentioned three times in the Bible.

Acts 10:6 The angel says to Cornelius: He (Peter) will tell you words by which you and your whole house will be saved. Acts 11:14 Peter says to the church, recounting the words of the angel: he will tell you words by which you and your whole house will be saved. Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said to the prison guard, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your whole house will be saved.

God does not want anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance. Therefore, share the Good News with your loved ones and tell them what the Lord has done in your life. Pray for them. Jesus said: ask and it will be given to you. God is powerful to save! Glory to the Lord - He is the Savior!

God bless you!


Letter 6

It is written in the Bible, Ephesians 6 ch. with 10 by 17 verses:

10 Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.

13 For this purpose take on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having done everything, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 And above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one;

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Dear friends, in order for us to resist the wiles of the devil, we need to be strengthened by the Lord!

First, we need to stand and gird our loins with the truth. Jesus said: I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. Another scripture: Because you have heard about Him and learned from Him, just as the truth is in Jesus. We need to put on Jesus Christ. He is our Lord!

Second, we need the armor of righteousness. The Bible says that our righteousness is like filthy rags. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. Do not try to earn righteousness by any rituals or regulations. We have believed in the Lord and our righteousness is in Him! Jesus became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption. We sin a lot. But if we confess our sins, then God, being faithful and righteous, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Our justification is in the Blood of Jesus Christ! Stand in this righteousness!

Third, we need to equip our feet with the readiness to evangelize peace. Tell your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and others what the Lord has done for you. Talk about what is truth, what is a way out, what is salvation, and all this is in Jesus Christ! Let others know about Him! Be ready to evangelize!

Fourth, most of all, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one. The enemy uses thoughts to deceive you or steal your faith or bring some kind of despondency into you. Therefore, you need to have the shield of faith. This screen of faith will not allow thoughts or arrows from the evil one to strike or confuse you. The Bible commands that most of all we must take up this shield of faith. And with the shield of faith you will be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one. May the Lord help you with this!

Fifth, we need to take the helmet of salvation. The Bible says that by grace you are saved. What does the helmet do? It protects the head from damage. We need to keep our minds intact. We need the Lord's anointing to protect us and guide us, to teach us and to keep us in Christ Jesus!

Sixth, we need the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. When Satan tempted Jesus Christ, Jesus answered him with the word of God: Thus it is written. Nothing can stand before the word of God! Read the Bible and say what it says! Defeat the forces of the enemy with the word of God!

Pray to God, He will be able to instruct you more, strengthen you and confirm you in the Lord! God bless you!


Letter 7

Dear friends, we need to live a victorious life in Christ Jesus! By abiding in Him, we will live the life of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! Jesus said: John 11:25 I am the resurrection and the life. Rome. 6:4 ...so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in the newness of life.

Sin finds a person under different circumstances: someone at the computer, someone on the phone, someone in a crowded crowd, someone in a secluded place. Sin comes through the senses, eyes, ears and memory. And I seem to serve God: I pray to Him every day, read the Bible, try to live honestly, go to church and try to live according to His word, but sin comes and steals joy and I languish and find no peace. I repent, ask the Lord for forgiveness, I suffer from this, and then I do the same again. The Bible says: Rom.7:24 Poor man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? It happens that a person allowed, for example: irritation or dissatisfaction, then it turned into resentment, then into revenge, etc. Then the person repents, asks for forgiveness, maybe even bears some kind of punishment for the offense, etc. It happens that conscience torments, a person does not find peace and cannot forgive himself. This is how sin holds a person. It happens that a person tries hard, but sin finds him again.

Dear friends, the Bible says: Rom.6:2 - We died to sin, how can we live in it? Gal.2:19 Through the law I died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. Rom.7:4 So you also, my brothers, died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God. And the Bible gives a way out: Romans 6:11 So count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Identify yourself, count yourself, say that you are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus! Ap. Paul says: 1 Corinthians 15:31 I die daily: I am testified of this by your praise, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are also resurrected with Christ. Let's see what Scripture says: Eph.2:6 and resurrected with Him, and made you sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Col. 2:12 Having been buried with Him in baptism, in Him you also co-resurrected by faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to His great mercy regenerated us by resurrection Jesus Christ from the dead to a living hope. Col. 3:1-3 So if you resurrected with Christ, then seek the things that are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God; Set your mind on things above, and not on earthly things. For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Let us count ourselves dead to sin and alive, raised to life in Christ Jesus!

As you begin your day, thank the Lord for the night and for the day that He has given you, and count yourselves dead to sin and alive to the Lord in Christ Jesus. And during the day, if sin begins to enter through the eyes, through the senses, through the ears, thoughts or memory, consider yourself dead to sin, alive, raised to life in Christ Jesus! Don't give room for sin in your heart! Just as sin begins to penetrate the mind, consider yourself dead to it and alive to the Lord Jesus Christ! And if you have allowed sin into your heart, ask the Lord for forgiveness and continue to consider yourself dead to sin and risen to Christ! Rom.6:12 Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, so that you should obey it in its lusts. Rom.6:14 Sin must not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. Sin should not become king or master in our hearts. May the Lord bless us to stand and abide in the Lord and live the life of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord every day!

God bless you!


Letter 8

Dear friends, our life is hidden with Christ in God. Ephesians 2:4-6 God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with Him, and seated us in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...

God quickened (animate: awaken life, quicken) us with Christ, saved us, raised us with Christ, and seated us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. How wonderful!

Ephesians 1:19-21 ...and how exceedingly great is the greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the future...

God has seated us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And we need to believe in it. Our life is in Christ. He has seated Jesus Christ above all authority and power and dominion, and He has seated us in Him. Our home is in heaven. Although we are still on earth, we must live in the Lord. The Bible says: set your mind on things above, and not on earthly things.

Jesus said, “Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you; However, do not rejoice that the spirits obey you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. - Luke 10:19,20 We need to rejoice that our names are written in heaven.

Dear friends, accept this word, believe in it, and say it. Say: I thank you God, that I am seated in Christ Jesus in the heavenly places, far above all authority, might, and dominion, and that my name is written in the heavens. Rejoice in the Lord!

All glory to our Lord!

God bless you!


Letter 9

Dear friends!

The Bible says: Stand firm therefore in the freedom which Christ has given us, and do not be subjected again to the yoke of slavery. Satan does not want you to stand in the freedom of Christ. He deceives with some desire or desire or desire that is not pleasing to the Lord. And when a person is deceived, he can feel that he remains the same as he was before his conversion. No, you are God's children. You do not need to pray again to accept Jesus Christ by faith. God is already your Father and Jesus is Lord. But if you stumble somewhere or get carried away by some desire, you need to ask the Lord for forgiveness. It is like you have taken a wrong turn and you need to turn back and follow the path that the Lord has intended for you. Prayer must be sincere. For example: Heavenly Father, I did wrong, I did this and that. I ask you to forgive me, I repent and renounce this sin. Cleanse me with the Blood of Jesus Christ and help me to follow Your path. The Word of God says: If we confess our sins, He, being faithful and righteous, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And let us approach with a sincere heart, with full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling, and having washed our bodies with clean water. Let us hold fast the confession of hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Jesus said: And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. Let's continue to follow the Lord!


Letter 10

Dear friends!

If you have accepted Jesus Christ and He has become your Lord, continue to walk in Him! Start your day with Him. Be with Him during the day. When you wake up in the evening and at night, pray. Take refuge in Him as in a strong tower!

 

But if you have lost fellowship with Him, you don't need to receive Him again, you need to be reconciled to Him. Hebrews 10:19-23 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter into the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus Christ, in a new and living way, which He again revealed to us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having great Priest over the house of God, let us approach with a sincere heart, with full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling, and having washed our bodies with clean water, let us hold fast to the confession of hope unswervingly, for He who promised is faithful. Through the Blood of Jesus Christ, come to God as you are and ask for forgiveness... And He, being faithful and righteous, will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. We all sin a lot. But we have the Blood of Jesus Christ, which cleanses us from all sin.

 

If you lack faith, or you think that you are not forgiven, or something is blocking you, contact the ministers of your local church. James 5:16 Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

May the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered for a short time, perfect you, establish you, strengthen you, and make you steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10

 

All glory to our Lord!

God bless you!


Letter 11

Dear friends!

Renewal is also very necessary for a Christian. The Bible says: But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength: they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be weary. (Isaiah 40:31) You have already accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord. You are His children. But immersed in earthly things, in the worries of everyday life, in vanity, a person is able to cool down and ceases to strive for the Lord with all his heart, and the Lord already comes first. This is why an update is needed. A good place where a person can be renewed is the church. The minister and the entire local church can pray for you there. You can also update anywhere. The Bible says: let us approach with a sincere heart, with full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling, and having washed our bodies with water. Come prayerfully before the Lord and tell Him everything that is on your heart. If you no longer thirst for the Lord, ask for forgiveness. If you have become carried away by earthly things and worldly things have become more important to you, then ask for forgiveness and start communicating with the Lord again. It is essential to take time to spend time with the Lord every morning. Continue to abide in Him during the day and always be with the Lord! The Bible invites us: Therefore, children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. May He come first! Always seek His face! Be constant in prayer!


Letter 12

Dear friends, when a person has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, Satan sometimes tries to tear him away from the Lord. He tries to offer some kind of religion or delusion, involving in some rituals or in impossible laws or regulations. He may offer some information, or you may meet some people who will offer you something else. Thus, a person leaves communication with the Lord and these rituals and regulations come first. Let us not depart from the Gospel of Christ. The Bible says: But even if we or an angel from heaven preached to you a gospel other than what we preached to you, let him be accursed. This information or misconception must be rejected and not accepted. We need to abide in the Lord. Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him. Col. 2:6 Begin your fellowship with the Lord in the morning and continue it throughout the day! Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say: rejoice. Hold on to the Lord and continue to have fellowship with Him always! God bless you!


Letter 13

Dear friends, I don’t want to remain silent without writing about the Holy Spirit. Jesus said:but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8 And Jesus also said: And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; and you know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you. Mark 16: 16-17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues... Mark 16:17

How did the baptism in the Holy Spirit take place?

Acts 2:2-4 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And cloven tongues as of fire appeared to them, and one rested on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 10:44-47 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers of the circumcision who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out also on the Gentiles; for they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter said: Who can forbid those who, like us, have received the Holy Spirit, to be baptized with water?

Acts 19:6 ... Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak in tongues and prophesy.

Jesus said that they would speak in new tongues, and what happened then: they began to speak in other tongues, and then it was written: for we heard them speaking in tongues, and then we read: and they began to speak in [other] tongues.

Dear friend, if you have accepted Jesus Christ, you may be zealous for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is accompanied by the sign of other tongues. Yes, you are saved, and you feel that the Holy Spirit is with you. But you need the strength to win. You need the Comforter (Greek: parakletos - intercessor, comforter, protector) to abide in you, as Jesus said: for He abides with you and will be in you.

How to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? The One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit is the Lord Jesus Christ. You can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit by privately praying before the Lord. You can get it in a prayer service where others can pray for you. You can receive it when a minister lays hands on you or while preaching or hearing the Word of God.

Be zealous for the baptism of the Holy Spirit - you really need it. Jesus said: If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink; Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. You need to accept the Holy Spirit! We need the Holy Spirit! God bless you!
