LONELY PERSON

Lonely person doesn’t know himself and such a person runs after other objects and persons to keep his mind occupied. Enjoyment is in mind not in objects. You can have enjoyment without objects.

He fails to experience the internal joy and peace. If you can’t live alone, it means you are not having peace with yourself. Depending on other person is highly illusory because nothing is permanent in this world. Running away from yourself is never the way to attain peace. IT ONLY DELAYS THE ATTAINMENT OF PEACE.

We came into the world alone, we are alone and alone will depart. Recognize your loneness, know it and experience it.

Please note that world is not going to stop and will go on when you will not be here. Leave unnecessary anxiety about family. You are simply an instrument of God to bring them up.

HOW DO WE KNOW IT IS TRUE ?.

“I am speaking the truth in Christ- I am not lying, my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit” (Romans 9:1)

HE WITNESSES TO YOUR VERY CONSCIENCE. Listen to His voice as He speaks to your very soul.

If you truly want to understand how the Holy Spirit speaks, read and reread the following word of God.

“It is that very SPIRIT bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God”.

(Romans 8:16)

HOW DO WE KNOW IT IS TRUE ?. His spirit bears witness with our spirit. Again, you know that you know. The Holy Spirit is God the witness.

RECEIVE GOSPEL ONLY FROM THE APOSTOLIC MAJESTY


‘Fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went because GOD REVEALED TO ME THAT I SHOULD GO.

(Galatians 2:1-2)

"Every one must obey the state authorities, because no authority exists without God's permission and the existing authorities have been put there by God. Whoever opposes the existing authority opposes what God has ordered and anyone who does so will Bring JUDGEMENT ON HIMSELF". (Romans 13:1-2)

THE ONE GOSPEL

“Even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed”.

(Wisdom of Solomon 3:11-13)

WHAT IS LOVE ?

“God is love, and whoever lives in love lives in union with God and God lives in union with him”.
( I John 4 : 16 )


“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.

It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER ENDS”.
(I Corinthians 13:4-8)

“There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear”. So then, love has not been made perfect in any one who is AFRAID”.
( I John 4 : 18 )


“God didn't give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self discipline”.
(2 Timothy 1:7)

UNLESS HE IS BORN OF WATER & THE SPIRIT

“No one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. A person is born of physically of human parents, but he is born spiritually of the spirit.

(John 3: 5-8) “When he comes, he will prove to the people of the world that they are wrong about sin and about what is right and about God’s judgment”.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY

“For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for UNNATURAL. And in same way also the men, GIVING UP NATURAL INTERCOURSE WITH WOMEN, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.”.

(Romans 1:26-27).

( 1 Corinthians 6 :15-18)

“Be sure of this, that no fornicator or IMPURE PERSON or who is greedy (that is an idolater) has any inheritance in the KINGDON OF GOD”. (Ephesians 5:5)
