What is a Stumbling Block ?
It Can Be

Anything that causes someone to stumble and fall.

Anything that impedes someone’s progress in The Lord.

Anything that causes someone to err.

Leviticus 19:14.....  Psalm 119: 165  ...Ezekiel 3:20
Ezekiel 14: 3-7....Mathew 16:23.......Romans 11: 7-9
Romans 14:13 ....1 Corinthians 22-24....1 Corinthians 8:9
2 Corinthians 6:3  1 Corinthians 1:23
 
Jesus knew how easy it would be to put a stumbling block in some ones way which prevented or delayed their journey or approach to him.   What we say and do then is so very important.  When we study the above scriptures it does show that we shall be held accountable for those things we did and also for those things that we didn't do and should have.  Importantly also those things we say and those we don't but should.

It all comes down to love driving the thoughts and intents in our relationship with others.   I f we truly love one another as Jesus tells us that we ought, then we are our brothers keeper.  What man amongst us then would ignore the error of a mans ways that were leading him to death?  If by chance we could shed a light in a dark place or bring peace where there is fear and lack?
             
When we look at the definition of words, we receive insight into the very heart of language and communication.
Communication is not all that it should be and many people fall into error and do not then have the information they need on which to build correct assumptions and decisions that will be life changing.
Misinformation puts someone other than self in charge and I find this an increasingly worrying trend in today’s world.

Spiritually it can be devastating to live on lies and half truths which is why Jesus said “ The truth will make you free.”…. He didn't say may or might make us free but said it will make us free and I believe this.  The word of God is truth.

We must be mindful then not to put stumbling - blocks to peoples understanding or prevent them from growing in truth and knowledge.  Every despot in the world thrives on the ignorance of its people.  The Lord our God would have us grow in truth… this is the language of our God and our Creator.
In truth we come to KNOW.  In truth we stand in the strength of what is - because what is has substance and can be verified.  The hard part is separating fact from fiction, what we would like something to be or mean can be a stumbling block of our own making.

The most amazing thing of all is that truth is not flexible and can be substantiated by science, history, testimony and empirical evidence.  The danger is that part truths can be a stumbling block as they often have incomplete information as a basis for assumption rather than actual substantive truth.  We can see this in so many areas of life and also in our search for meaning of life and God.  It is only
when we use the Creators hard and fast guidelines that we are exposed to complete truth.  Science is now comfirming this fact daily as do the people of GOD.



Being a Christian is not easy but it is beautiful, fulfilling and worth more effort than we hitherto entertain for the most part.

I was astonished to find that the word of God was written by men as they were moved by the Holy Spirit to write. 

Did you know Jesus believed every word of the scriptures ?

Did you know the devil knew every word and will use them against us and that he chose to disobey the the word of God?

I was shocked to find that the Holy Bible contains every solution to every problem because problems are man made and not of God,  and that the church and man often choose to ignore the power of the word, the instructions of the most High God who loves them so much.
What blessings they are truly missing!

The world in its state of chaos, greed and violence has no answers that are meaningful to the poor, the vulnerable and the infirm.  It chooses to create an anything goes society with no perameters or standards that protect all people.   God set in place guide lines for good living from the beginning.
Disobedience brings its own reward and when you examine the evidence, that is really shocking.  The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.  There is a message here.....
PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR FIRST LOVE......Repent for the Kingdom is at hand.   NOW!
OUR GOD IS NOT A GOD OF LACK BUT A GOD OF ABUNDANCE - A GOD OF LOVE AND RIGHTOUSNESS - A GOD OF PROVISION AND PROTECTION.


A great move of God is going on in the world as we speak.  It is all prophesied in the Holy Bible and thousands are coming to Christ daily through the fire and anointing of The Holy Spirit.  It is nearly time for Christ to return and His people prepare for this.  Be blessed, be awake, knock and it shall be opened to you, ask and it shall be given.  The Church is The Kingdom of God on Earth.  Rightly so it is honour bound to its ruler The King !  All that he is.  We can only know all that he is through his word The Holy Bible and the revelation of the Holy Spirit

Jesus said
" The Truth Will Make You Free"
His truth is written in The Holy Bible
Revealed by the Holy Spirit
Confirmed by history, science

PEACE BE WITH YOU


The Kingdom
Is The Rule of The King
and his government shall never cease
on earth as it is in heaven.
This is God's will and God's purpose
and why Jesus said when teaching us to pray
" Thy will be done, Thy Kingdom Come"

The Kingdom of God on Earth is about
RELATIONSHIP not Religion
It is the rule of Jesus Christ
* It Is...More Than *

More than just knowing the name of Jesus means getting to know the King,  It means knowing HIs ways and coming into
personal relationship with him. We do this by hearing His word,
study, prayer and supplication.
This is more than a dream or an idle promise, it is a reality and an invitation to all.  Those who desire Him seek and find, ask and receive.
To know the King is to find the Kings favour and the reward is to experience HIs love and peace.
The Kingdom  invitation of Jesus Christ is definitely real as many can testify..  It is based and grounded in His love for us
which we can come to experience in reality now. We don't have
to wait till we get to heaven.

Getting to know Jesus necessitates us having a desire to find Him.  We get to know Him by hearing His word which increases our faith and awakens our gifts.  The blessings are truly exquisite and are life changing beyond all telling.

The peace of Christ is born and grounded in love, covenant given and signed in Blood.  It is a rule of perfection, peace, prosperity, security, love and order.  Truly all those who know and love Jesus Christ desire or need nothing more.  In The Kingdom of God are people who have made the choice to accept the invitation that Jesus gives and all that this means.  The
perameters of Kingdom rule are the guide posts to right living.  It is right living that brings the peace, love and security into the universal order of God's beautiful creation, this is true happiness..

Kingdom rule means living in God's house NOW.
The House that He builds will prevail and live forever.  There is no division in the house that the Lord builds for it is built on His word and not the wiles and will of men. Today we see many petty squabbles and divisions within some Christian churches who wonder why their numbers dwindle and their ministry founders. The answer is that they have built their ministry on directions and rules other than those that were given by God for His Kingdom..
In some cases the ten commandments have become the ten suggestions? and worse still there are some that actually believe that the old testament is no longer relevant .  Those well meaning people who teach those things misunderstand the truth and work in the logic of men and not the wisdom of God.

If we dont understand that in the Old Testament is hidden the New and that the New Testament reveals the Old then we can never come to the understanding of the Fullness of Christ.  The Holy Bible is only complete when both the rod and the staff come together, ( the old and new).

The living word reveals changes that bring about growth and maturity.  It is this that ushers in the Fullness of Christ and the New Living Creatures that are the result of those changes.  This is GOD's word not the logic of man.


Many people feel discomfort when change comes and some expect God to change to accomodate their personal ideas.   T
his is how religion can distort and damage the real and positive effects of the change that God invites us to embrace.  This doesn't work in the kingdom of God.  To sit and debate God's directions with the object of changing them is to challenge the
authority of God?  In God's kingdom The King rules and His way is the only and best way for true joy and happiness to pervade
every moment of each day and night, like the perfume of roses in warming sun, its fragrance stays forever.
His truth is awesome, His ways are just and beautiful.

All problems have their origin in disobedience.
Where God's order is in evidence there are blessings that increase and restore all that The Lord has promised and once was.
Worldly wisdom is foolishness with God and is the reason why democracy and pseudo theocracy fails to deliver. Both have become free for all systems that rely on man's  own prejudice and logic, don't accept personal responsibility for bringing order, peace, truth  and freedom within a structure based on mutual understanding, co-operation and vision. 
.
Where only broad interpretation of right and wrong exist so does bondage and deprivation. Political correctness has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime and is partly responsible for
creating a culture of greed, envy and selfishness on a scale that was unheard of just a few decades ago.   There is apparently no longer any real direction or moral responsibility, no parameters that considers the consequences or sets right initiatives in place to bring about the kind of world that most people desire and dream about.
When leadership comes from the unbelieving in today's world we are all in trouble.
Theocracy lays down divine ways for peace, love, justice and fairness to flourish and the leadership comes from the top and flows downward.  It is always successful and always in line with God's word , which contains His plan for each of us and the whole of creation.
True humility embraces God's rule and plan for each person within the kingdom of God on earth.
Within the theocratic structure are inbuilt solutions to every problem throughout the ages.  .
God desires that we embrace the government of the most high God, that we grow up to employ and enable heavenly strategies to intervene, heal and renew.   The choice is ours and the gifts and benefits are immense.
Did you know that God has a plan for you, a plan to prosper you
in all you do!
However, making right choices that bring about desired results, requires that we have all the relevant information to make real successful life changing decisions.
We do have to seek to find, to knock f
or the door to be opened.  The real catalyst for change is the desire to draw closer to the one who can and will bring it about.

We really do serve either GOD or mammon and in the Christian church we who serve and know the King of all creation choose
His way based on love, together with all the relevant information.... His Holy Word and Holy Spirit confirmation.

Don't ever think man can just get by without the knowledge of God.  His word tells us  in Hosea 4:6 that " My people perish through lack of knowledge"  In addition it is the knowledge of
God that forms the basis and gateway to all undertanding. 
In Deutronomy 29:29 tells us The secret things of God belong to God; but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the works of this
law.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction Prov 1:7
