Growing in Faith

Faith is a Spiritual Gift of GOD; not something we can do or arrange ourselves. The Spirit of GOD can already work with people long before they get to know Jesus, the Gospel or GOD; still people often want to listen to Gods Voice and do what they are asked to do or to stop doing. In this way the Spirit will lead them to Jesus by baptism; and from Jesus to GOD by the laying on of hands. Even then the road to becoming a Christian is far from over and done; it only starts in that way. Jesus warns us to use to Spiritual Gifts we received ('Talents') to the best of our knowledge and to the best of our efforts; for others and honouring the Commandments and GOD in that way! Only in that way the Fruit of the Spirit can grow; both inwards and around the Christian-to-be. A very visable- and detectable Fruit of the Spirit; around you, within you and as the fruit of your works! This Fruit keeps the lamp of the Christian-to-be burning; with this extra oil from working with the Spiritual Gifts we will see Jesus return and we will have an eternal feast in Heaven.

Explanation GOD inspires through His Spirit GOD Gifts are handed out by the Spirit GOD gives the Spiritual Gifts after the laying on of hands Various Gifts, various workings Applying the Gifts for common good Jesus asks to put the Gifts into use Applying the Gifts results in spare-oil for the lamp Applying the Gifts with result in the Fruit of the Spirit Only with that Fruit we will have a feast in Heaven No Fruit, no feast in Heaven, but only darkness and death

Acts 8:18 'Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given...'. 2 Timothy 1:6 'For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands'. Hebrews 6:2 'a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God, or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement'. 1 Timothy 5:22 'Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor participate in another man’s sins; keep yourself pure'. 1 Cor. 12:4 'Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit'. 1 Cor. 12:5-6 'And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.'. 1 Cor. 12:8-11 'To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit; to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit; to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of ‘tongues;’ to another the interpretation of tongues.

Matthew 25:1-4 ''Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps'. Matthew 25:14-15 'Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one—to each according to his individual capacity; and then started from home'. Matthew 25:20-30 ' The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, and said, "‘Sir, it was five talents that you entrusted to me: see, I have gained five more. You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,’ replied his master; you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master’s joy. "The second, who had received the two talents, came and said, "‘Sir, it was two talents you entrusted to me: see, I have gained two more. Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well, his master replied; you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master’s joy. "But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed. So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you. "‘You wicked and slothful servant,’ replied his master, ‘did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed? Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest. So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten. (For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away.) But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: *there* will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth'. Galatians 5:22-23 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith, Gentle behaviour, control over desires'. Ephesians 5:9 'Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true'. Matthew 25:21 'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,’ replied his master; you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master’s joy'. Matthew 25:30 'But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: *there* will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth'.

How to continue...?!
The pagan trinity sungod of Babylon was the foundation-model for the current Roman-catholic church, her foundations, rites and actions against GOD and Gods Commandments.

GOD was made 'a trinity god' and Jesus was made 'a trinity-god-son-in-the-flesh', baptism was abolished and besprinkling of babies was introduced, Gods Sabbath was changed and Sunday-keeping was introduced, the 2nd Commandment was abolished and making and worshipping statues was introduced, the laying on of hands was no longer necessary because of the trinity-god-besprinkling and Mary-worship was introduced, etc. Everything was and had been changed against GOD, Gods Commandments and Gods Wil.

From the pagan Roman-catholic church other churches arose after Luther; these new churches didnot recognize or abolish the pagan foundation of the Roman-catholic church; they continued with the same foundation instead. This pagan-founded-church-collection had and has a huge impact on our current society.

As a result you and your surroundings will also be influenced by the unbiblical- and pagan visions from Babylon, that found their way into our society because of the Roman- and other churches.

As a result of your new knowledge and insights you may feel very deceived and damaged. Maybe you cannot believe what you just found out and you want 'a second opinion'. Maybe you want to blame the messenger. Maybe you just don't want to see the truth and you just want everything to stay exactly the same as you knew it before...

Whatever you feel and want to do after you tested your foundations of your church and faith: do realize, that:

• satan wants to deceive you
• satan wants to damage you
• satan wants to keep you from biblical truth
• satan wants to form you in that way into his product
• satan wants you to form people around you in the same way
