((( CHRISTIAN COWARDS ))) SOME PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS, BUT THEY WOULDNT EVEN TELL THEIR NEIGHBOR ABOUT JESUS, THEY WOULDNT EVEN TELL THEIR LOVED ONES ABOUT JESUS. OH THEY LOVE JESUS SO MUCH, THEY WANT TO KEEP HIM TO THEMSELVES, THEY DONT WANT TO SHARE HIM. THE GOSPEL MEANS, GOOD NEWS. IF IT TRULY IS GOOD NEWS TO YOU, YOURE GOING TO TELL SOMEBODY. MANY MANY PEOPLE SAY THEYRE CHRISTIANS, BUT I COULD GO TO THEIR CO-WORKERS AND ASK THEM, HAVE THEY TESTIFIED TO YOU ABOUT THEIR FAITH, AND THEY WOULD SAY, WHAT, THEIR FAITH? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LETS TALK ABOUT THE APOSTLES FOR A MINUTE. MATTHEW, WHILE IN ETHIOPIA, THEY KILLED HIM WITH A SWORD FOR HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, THAT WAS THE PRICE HE PAID- NO COWARD THERE. MARK, WAS IN ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT WHEN THEY TIED HIM BEHIND HORSES AND DRAGGED HIM THROUGH THE CITY TILL HIS DEATH- NOT MUCH OF A COWARD THERE. LUKE WAS HUNG IN GREECE FOR HIS INTENSE PREACHING TO THE LOST. THE PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE THAT, THE WORLD DOESNT LIKE THAT. GET IT IN YOUR MIND IF YOURE A CHRISTIAN, YOULL BE HATED BY ALL MEN FOR HIS NAME SAKE. (LUKE 21:17) MARVEL NOT THAT THE WORLD HATE YOU. (1 JOHN 3:13) JESUS SAID, DONT BE SURPRISED WHEN THEY HATE YOU, FOR THEY HATED ME, AND NO SERVANT IS GREATER THAN HIS LORD. PETER WAS ORDERED BY NERO OF ROME TO BE CRUCIFIED, BUT PETER SAID, IM NOT WORTHY TO BE CRUCIFIED LIKE MY LORD, SO THEY CRUCIFIED HIM UPSIDE DOWN. HORRIBLE DEATH, WAS HE A COWARD? NO HE WASNT. JAMES THE LEADER OF THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM WAS THROWN DOWN FROM THE PINNACLE APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED FEET TO HIS DEATH, BUT HE DIDNT DIE, SO THEY BEAT HIM WITH CLUBS TO FINISH HIM OFF. THATS NOT A COWARD. BARTHOLOMEW WAS IN ARMENIA WHEN HE WAS FLOGGED WITH WHIPS TO DEATH FOR HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND THE TESTIMONY OF THE WORDS OF GOD. HE WASNT A COWARD. ANDREW WAS CRUCIFIED ON AN X SHAPED CROSS IN GREECE, AND WHILE HE WAS BEING CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS, HE KEPT PREACHING FOR TWO DAYS TO HIS ACCUSERS AND HIS TORMENTORS. THIS IS WHAT HE SAID, I HAVE LONGED AND DESIRED FOR THIS HAPPY DAY. THAT WASNT A COWARD. MATTHIAS, THE ONE WHO REPLACED JUDAS ISCARIOT WHO BETRAYED JESUS, MATTIAS WAS STONED TO DEATH, AND WHEN THAT DIDNT KILL HIM, THEY BEHEADED HIM. THAT WAS NOT A COWARD. HE STOOD FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED. JUDE, WAS KILLED WITH AN ARROW FOR HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, HE WAS NOT A COWARD. THOMAS WENT TO CHINA TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND THEY KILLED HIM WITH A SPEAR. THATS WHAT THEY DID TO HIM FOR HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. HE WAS NOT A COWARD. PAUL, NERO HAD HIM BEHEADED. NERO ALSO LIKE TO BURN CHRISTIANS AT THE STAKE, HE BURNED THEM TO DEATH. THATS WHAT TRUE CHRISTIANS HAVE GONE THROUGH FOR THEIR FAITH. BUT TODAY CHRISTIANS ARE AFRAID TO TELL THEIR NEIGHBOR ABOUT CHRIST, THEIR AFRAID TO TAKE A STAND FOR THE WORD OF GOD. COWARDS, COWARDS. I REBUKE A COWARD IN JESUS NAME, STAND UP FOR YOUR FAITH. STAND FOR WHAT YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE. HAVE SOME COURAGE IN THE LORD. FINALLY JOHN, IT WAS SAID THAT THEY TRIED TO BOIL HIM IN HOT OIL, BUT IT DIDNT SUCCEED, BUT GOD HAD ANOTHER PLAN FOR HIM, SO HE WAS SENT TO AN ISLAND WHERE THEY SEND MISFITS AND PRISONERS WHERE HE WROTE THE BOOK OF REVELATION, THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS. SO IF IT WASNT FOR THAT HE NEEDED TO WRITE THIS BOOK FOR YOU AND ME, HE WOULD OF BEEN KILLED TO FOR HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, AND SO HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIED AN OLD MAN. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MILLIONS OF TRUE CHRISTIANS HAVE DIED SINCE JESUS CHRIST CAME, FOR THEIR FAITH? THEY WERE NOT COWARDS. THEYRE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL DIE TODAY, AS YOURE READING THIS MESSAGE, YES, IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME OR WHEREVER YOU ARE, YES, SOMEBODIES DYING FOR THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. WHILE YOUR NEIGHBOR DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT JESUS. WHILE YOURE SITTING ON YOUR BLESSED ASSURANCE, DOING THY OWN WILL, SATANS COMMAND DO WHAT THOU WILT BUT JESUS COMMAND IS THAT IF ANY MAN WANT TO FOLLOW HIM, THEY MUST DENY THEM SELF, PICK UP THEIR CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW HIM. NOT LIFT UP THEMSELVES AND DO EVERYTHING FOR THEIR SELF. (JOHN 12:24) SAYS, THAT UNLESS A GRAIN OF WHEAT FALL TO THE GROUND AND DIE IT CANNOT BEAR ANY FRUIT, YOU MUST DIE TO SELF. (JOHN 12:25) SAYS, IF YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE YOU WILL LOOSE IT, BUT IF YOU LOOSE IT FOR MY SAKE, YOU WILL GAIN IT ETERNALLY. JESUS SAID IN JOHN 7:7 THEY HATED ME FOR I TESTIFY THEIR DEEDS ARE EVIL WHY DO YOU THINK THEY HATED ALL THE APOSTLES AND KILLED THEM? THEY WASNT RUNNING AROUND SAYING, JESUS LOVES YOU, JESUS LOVES YOU, HE HAS GREAT PLANS FOR YOU. PROSPERITY, JOY, PEACE. NO! THEY TOLD THEM THEIR WORKS WERE EVIL, AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPENT. WHEN A MAN IS TOLD TO REPENT AND HE THINKS HES GOOD, HES NOT HAPPY. BUT THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MAN IN THE END IS DEATH. THE HEART OF MAN IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS AND DESPERATELY WICKED, WHO CAN KNOW IT? (JEREMIAH 17:9) JOHN 15:9 SAYS, IF YOU WERE OF THE WORLD, THE WORLD WOULD LOVE YOU, FOR THE WORLD LOVES ITS OWN, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD, THE WORLD HATES YOU. DONT BE SURPRISED BY THIS, THEY HATED JESUS, THEY GOING TO HATE YOU, AND JESUS DID NOTHING WRONG. TO MANY COWARD CHRISTIANS FOR NO ONE IS WILLING TO SHARE TRUTH(JESUS) IN HOPES THAT MEN WILL BE SAVED. WE MUST EXAMINE OURSELVES ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES. (2 COR 13:5)
