The Repairing of Christianity
Isaiah 61:1-11; 59:19
~ The salvation of the generation depends upon the wall; walls will confront the flood and withstand pressure and need to be rooted in solid ground; walls are made of many small and big rocks.
~ I don’t need new things because I am not done with old yet
Christian is not a person that looks like pastor, parent, or denomination, or a believer in Jesus Christ, nor faithful church attendee, nor a child of God, its person that is like Christ
You can make heaven by not being like Jesus but you will never change your world that way!
Christian is not lampstand but a light to the world not to the church
Darkness is present only in a place where light is absent
If majority of Americans are Christian why in the world America gets darker with every day?
Christian is follower of Christ,
The first step is not going to Church but to take up YOUR cross and then follow Me
Christianity is exchange of lives and wills
Christianity obeys God when it doesn’t interfere with their comfort, pleasure, agenda, schedule, and etc.
Today’s Christianity doesn’t work, it’s powerless, it’s just an empty name, it’s as dark as the world
Christianity didn’t see a meeting without miracle invasion, today’s don’t see a meeting with it
Christianity with mind set on things above not beyond
Test your Christianity, does fire stays in there?
The world doesn’t needs new definition of Christianity but true demonstration of Christianity

Christian is person who was born supernaturally from above as Christ (Mt.1:18, 20)

New birth has to do with who you are (birthing new root that will produce good fruit)
The commandments of God are not possible with old nature
New birth is birth into the family of God (son and criminal)
New birth is not religion, morality, nor reformation, but a miracle by which sinner is given new nature
New birth comes when repentance takes place
Repentance is sorrowful regret (feeling ashamed – prodigal son)
Repentance is change of action (not just putting blood on the door posts but leaving Egypt)
New born is born as child not as a giant takes has to take care of his spirit
Christian is a person who is under absolute submission of God given authority as Christ was (Mt.2:11, 13)
Protection from mistakes and etc. of the baby depends on the submission to the authority
Heaven will release nothing unless we change our attitude toward the gifts of God on earth (Luke 16)
Jesus could not do miracles because of wrong attitude toward Him (Mark 6)
By rejecting God’s servants you are rejecting God (Mt.10)
The way to double portion is submission and to curse is disobedience (2 Kings 2)
The sin of Ham is dishonoring his father while he is mistaken (Gen.6)
God put milk in mother’s breast for babies
Person disobeying its leader will have hard time obeying his God
