What is it like to be a Christian ?



It is like being a pumpkin that is carved into a jack-o-lantern.

God picks us from the pumpkin patch and brings us in from the field. The Bible says

 He selects us out of the world. We are in the world but no longer of the world. Jesus

 said, "As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." (John 15:19)

God washes all the "dirt" off the outside that we received from being around all the

 other pumpkins. All the outside influences of our former life must be cleaned up.

God carefully removes all the "yucky stuff" called "sin" from the inside. He then

changes us from the inside out by the Power of His Word. That's why it is important

to meet with the church and learn God's Word.

He carves a new smiling face. Our countenance is changed by the power of His

presence in our life. We then become so grateful. It can even show on our face!

Finally, God puts His light inside of us to shine for all the world to see.

Okukoya Our understanding was opened seriously by the book of Zechariah 3:1. The bible talks about garment of iniquity. You and I know that even in the physical people say they are dressing to kill. Prov 10:17 talks about the attire of an adult. When you dress up as a lady and your breasts are outside or almost out, you may not talk but you're saying something with your clothes. Clothes and garment speaks. A queen cannot dress like a harlot. God was the first garment maker. He gave them garment of glory in the garden of eden and when they committed sin, He then gave them the garment of leaves. The #bible talks about garment of righteousness which is called White Garment. Garment of the blood means #Victory. There's a reason why evil people attack some people and it's because they; 1. Dress in filthy garment. ...

SATAN OWNS THE FENCE

Image
There was a large group of people gathered. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side stood another, Satan. Seperating them was a fence running through the group. The scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to people in the group. One by one, each having made up his or her own mind, went to either Jesus or Satan. This kept going for a time. Soon enough, Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowd, as did Satan.One man joined neither group. He climbed the fence that was there and sat on it. Jesus and his people left and disappeared, and so too did Satan and his people. The man on the fence sat alone. As this man sat, Satan came back, looking for something which he appeared to have lost. The man said, "Have you lost something?" Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are. Come with me." The man said, "But I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor him." Satan said, "That's...
