Transforming Perspectives| The English definition of the word revelation, is a surprisingly or previously unknown fact presented often dramatically. Biblically, the meaning of revelation is the unveiling or uncovering of facts and truths. The Book of Revelation is specific in its intent and purpose, primarily the revealing of the Lord, Jesus Christ. All inhabitants of the earth will behold the sky unfolding at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Contextually, Apostle John saw over 2500 years ago in visions and physically witnessed these events projecting the EndTimes. Therefore, to understand its imagery depictions, is to grasp its simplicity of the basis of truthful events and not to misconstrue its symbolic metaphors. The Book is trifold in its prophetic messages. Firstly, the jubilant revealing of the Lord’s second coming, his admonition to the churches, and his coronation as King. The reading of God’s Oracles of events which must come to past, the correction and purification of the people and earth, and restoration of righteous governance. Thirdly, the Lord’s triumphant victory over evil, and the final judgement of the unrighteous, resultant in the establishment of a new heaven and earth, and the celebration of the marriage supper of the lamb, receiving his bride the Church. Biblical Principles| All habitants and the earth will behold and see with their eyes, the Lord Jesus Christ at his second coming. Revelation 1:8 – I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Scripture References | The Revelation of Jesus Christ – Revelation Chapter 1. Admonition to the Churches – Revelation Chapters 2-3. Reading of the Scroll of Events – Revelation Chapter 4-5. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | A Christian or simply a believer is anyone who believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah, a confession of faith enabled by the transformation of one’s heart through the enlightenment of the One and True Living GOD. Contrarily, the identity of a Christian is neither recognized by the outward appearances such as wearing a certain attire, emblem nor frequency of church attendance nor the ability to recite scriptures. Simply, a believer or a Christian stands on the truths of Scriptures in the Holy Bible accepting God’s Grace by faith in a relationship with God in Jesus Christ, becoming his disciple connoting a learner. The gospel accounts share of trials or testings of faith experienced by Jesus’ disciples as testaments to similar struggles of faith believers will encounter, today. Notably, Jesus the risen Christ showed his wounds to Thomas who doubted, so to increase his faith and dispel his doubts. Jesus stopped Paul, then a Jew named Saul from persecuting Christians so that he may become a bold witness of faith while suffering. Furthermore, Jesus knowing Peter’s weaknesses asked him to confirm his faith, by asking “Who do you say I am?” then proclaimed he would become the foundation of His church. Biblical Principle | Confess the LORD Jesus Christ and become a learner of him being made conformed in his image. Matthew 11:27-29 - All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Scriptural References | Becoming a Believer - Matthew Chapter 11. Doctrine of Faith - Romans Chapter 5. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | After Jesus’s death, resurrection and ascension unto heaven, an angel appeared before several disciples who were standing gazing upward at the sky and asked, “Why are you still standing gazing up?” During any period of uncertainty or distress many are stilled in silence. The event of Jesus’s ascension marked three significant impacts in the chronological age. The first, defeating death having risen into the glory of the Father so that every believer would have life everlasting. Secondly, the voice of the angel proclaiming in the like manner of Jesus’s ascension, all inhabitants of the earth will witness his return, called the Lord’s 2nd Coming. The gospel witness of Matthew shares Jesus’s instructions to all believers to go throughout the world and teach the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thirdly, upon the end of the earth having heard the truths of God’s Grace, salvation by faith alone in his Son Jesus Christ, reveals the times for the end of this age. The good news of the Lord’s return, is a time for rejoicing but of perseverance, as well. Which Matthew explains, the series of events metaphorically compared to harvest time and willowing of wheat, are descriptive of economic and atmospheric instability, as well as great suffering, identifying the time of the Tribulation. Biblical Principle | Remain in faith continuing in the works of the Lord. Matthew 13:30 - Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Scripture References | Time for Reaping - Matthew Chapter 13:24-30. Become the Lord’s Witnesses - Acts Chapter 1:1-11. Gathering of Believers - 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4 :12-18. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | Salvation or being saved is not a frivolous term spoken only by Christians. Salvation is God’s redemption plan for mankind which has been unfolding throughout the historical ages. Isaiah the prophet foretold of Zion, of the salvation of God being offered to everyone as promised to the Jews as well as the world, accomplished in Jesus Christ’s birth, death and resurrection. Salvation means being saved by faith, accepting God’s Grace in Jesus Christ and being kept or shielded from God’s ultimate judgment of eternal wrath to come, designated for his enemies. Accepting Jesus Christ is accepting the truths of the Bible as the word of God, believing Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah, God’s only begotten Son, Lord and Savior of the world. Apostle Paul explains salvation occurs when believing by faith in Jesus Christ as the sacrificial offering, a propitiation or substitute who having paid the price of death for sin, and through faith becoming born again as a new spiritual possession belonging to God. Biblical Principles | Salvation is by faith, responding to the conviction of your heart by the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ, the Lord is the sacrificial offering of righteousness for our sin. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Scripture References | Explanation of Salvation- Ephesians Chapter 2. Response to Salvation - Acts Chapter 16. Prevailing in Salvation -2nd Corinthians Chapter 6. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | Everyone confessing faith in Jesus Christ needs the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of God and of whom is the evidence of our faith, as our keeper and guarantee for redemption. Paul expresses in the letter written to the Corinthians, warning about the carnality of men’s wisdom exhorting by which it is impossible to understand the things of God, because they are spiritually discerned. Apostle John emphasizes the need to be born again of the Spirit of God, a transformation of the heart upon hearing the voice of God, inspired in the word of truth, having sent his Son Jesus Christ to die for the sin of the world. Moreover, Paul writes to the Ephesians providing greater insights about God’s Grace and the results of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. He expounds, our belief is manifested or becomes more than a mouth saying by trusting the word of truth. He explains further, upon hearing and believing and trusting, the Holy Spirit seals every believer. Metaphorically, being marked or stamped with an impression of authentication of ‘Debt Paid’ by the blood of Jesus Christ, and being kept by Grace under the power of God unto the day of redemption. Biblical Principles | The Holy Spirit our Seal keeping every believer, as a precious prized possession belonging to God, is our guarantee of inheriting the promise of salvation at the day of redemption. Ephesians 1:13-14 | In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Scripture References | Man’s need to be born again - John Chapter 3. Man’s need for the Holy Spirit - 1st Corinthians Chapter 2:11-16.

Transforming Perspectives | The Holy Spirit often called the Holy Ghost is God the Spirit, the 3rd person of the Triune or Deity of the One and True Living God. He is often mistaken as a function of mysticism, a misnomer because of our lack of knowledge and understanding of the importance of his role as God the Spirit. Truthfully, the Holy Spirit is not an option in a believer’s life. His activity in our lives is the evidence of our belief. He is the power of God. He is the Spirit of Truth, enlightening, teaching and enabling believers in the things of the kingdom of God, including spiritual gifting, protecting, guiding and directing our walk of faith for effective lives. Apostle John’s witness accounts exposit significantly, about the importance of the Holy Spirit, and Scripture exhorts of the forgiveness of Sin, except the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not possess any egoism, but his work exclusively and entirely speaks to the glory of God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. He is the Restrainer, holding back rampant lawlessness, and our guardian keeping us by the power of God as well as our guarantee as a purchased prized possession of God, sealed until the day of redemption. Biblical Principle | Belief and Faith are evidenced in our lives by the gifting of the Holy Spirit. John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Scripture References | The Spirt testifies of Jesus Christ - John chapter 1:1-36. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth - John chapter 16-13:16.

Transforming Perspectives | Since the time of the fall of man, God has placed a shield to prevent evil’s full impact of lawlessness upon humanity. Little is known about the pivotal event marking the reality of the Lord’s Second coming, identified as the Restrainer’s hold. Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians is the only biblical account describing the occurrence which the Spirit of God, the Restrainer who has been holding back or guarding mankind from the evils of lawlessness until the appointed time of release, refer as ‘the Restrainer’s let,’ meaning to let go. Jesus shares with his disciples of the conditions of humanity during this time, explaining iniquity meaning sin, wicked acts and injustices will become rampant from which men’s hearts will become cold. Paul commending the faithful for their perseverance during suffering, also exhorts to remain steadfast and immovable in faith waiting for the Lord’s return. Because of the gravity of lawlessness and deprivation, many being offended with God will fall away from the faith, known as the Great Apostasy. But, Great is God’s faithfulness! God has revealed his plan for the redemption of humanity, Grace and admonishes the conditions of the End of this age. Biblical Principles| Jesus being the author and finisher of our faith, will never leave nor forsake us, but encourages us to remain faithful until the end, his glorious return, as the King. Jude 1:3 - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Scripture References| Conditions of the EndTimes – Matthew Chapter 24:9-28. The Restrainer – 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2. Ungodliness and lawlessness - Jude 1. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | Matthew a disciple, recounts of Jesus answering the disciples’ questions about the signs of His return referred as the Lord’s 2nd Coming, and of the times of the End. Jesus’s response explicits the conditions of men, the earth and a series of events occurring at the on-start of the end of the age, called the beginning sorrows, or troubles, literally meaning birthing pangs. This metaphorical description helps us to understand the certainty, the severity and the significance of the times ahead as the earth begins to show signs of its travail, as God begins to reckon and reconcile all things under his righteousness and judgment. The Scriptural context occurred nearing the end of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry having dwelled with us in the flesh as a servant, enters Jerusalem as the King fulfilling prophecies spoken of Him, and admonishes and exhorts all multitudes of faithfulness, righteousness and of the authenticity of Him as the Son of God. Biblical Principles | The faithful can rejoice in anticipation of the LORD’s Return. Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Scripture References | Jesus Christ’s entrance in Jerusalem as her King - Matthew Chapter 21. Admonition for faithfulness and righteousness - Matthew Chapters 22-23.

Transforming Perspectives | Life does not begin at our birth neither will it end upon our physical dying. The Bible resounds clearly of God having foreknowledge of every person before our mother’s impregnation, recording every aspect of our development in his book of Life. Biblical narratives reveal birth as the beginning of life’s discovery of individuality and uniqueness, implanted by God’s love to fulfil a predestined purpose accompanied by a passion to seek him. Scriptures also exhort of life beyond the grave, a purpose of Jesus’s resurrection having our names written in the Lamb’s book of life. An indication of a new life being born again in Jesus Christ the Lord, a life marked in eternal glory in the kingdom of Heaven. Biblical Principles | Life is vanity and futile without accepting God’s offering of everlasting life through believing in Jesus Christ. John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believes in me shall never die. Believe thou this? Scripture References | God’s foreknowledge of us before birth - Psalms 139 :1-16. Man’s plight without God - Ecclesiastes chapters 6 & 7.

Transforming Perspective | An indisputable Truth, is of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. GOD spoke through his messenger, the arc Angel Gabriel of the miraculous and sacred birth of his Son, Jesus Christ. Biblical Principle | The glad tidings of Joy, hope and peace are received in the light of the knowledge of the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Transforming Perspective | God teaches mankind through the administration of the Levitical laws and ordinances of the necessity of presenting a peace offering before his presence. The Peace offering is a humbled submission of our hearts in fellowship before Almighty God. The Sacrifice is an offering of someone whose has a desire in the heart or has been appointed by God as a Peacemaker given compassion in disputes so that reconciliation can occur. The Peacemaker is the instrument of love against hatred and forgiveness in offences and bridge of inclusion against divisiveness, a characteristic Jesus Christ identifies the children of God. Biblical Principle | Pray for peace, pursuing peace with your whole heart is a blessing of God. Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Scripture References | Peace Offering statutes - Leviticus Chapter 7.

Transforming Perspective | Judgment is the most misunderstood and feared principle of bible doctrine. Fundamentally, judgment is an act of righteousness. encompassing exercising wise decisions in matters of oneself, mankind and God. God is Righteousness, all that is just, right, and equitable originates and exists in him. Righteous judging is rooted in wisdom given by God, requiring spiritual discernment to assessed good from evil so to respond rightly and equitably in every situation. Contrarily, man’s wisdom is partial, based upon idiosyncratic beliefs and experiences from which the principles of the kingdom of God, are misconstrued.. Ultimately, all of God’s creation will be presented before the absoluteness of his divine right. Consequences of eternal judgment for the world’s wrongful acts and deeds have been decreed, already. God’s intervention is his righteousness given in Jesus Christ. Anyone, not withstanding in righteousness, judgment is the eternal wrath of God. Everyone resting in the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ will joyfully be received in eternal glory. Biblical Principle Fear God, accept his righteousness in Jesus Christ and allow divine instruction of the Holy Spirit in righteousness, judgment and equity. Proverbs 1:3-4 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behavior: To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose: Scripture References Inadequacy of man’s wisdom -1st Corinthians Chapter 1 verses 18-31.

Transforming Perspectives | Acquiring knowledge to differentiate good from evil develops spiritually as believers mature in righteousness. Everyone is born with innate senses that provide signals of evil presence or warnings of potential danger. However, the work of the Holy Spirit through personal practices, train the new creature we have become to recognize the forces initiating every act and the intent involving every encounter. Biblically, this spiritual work is the transformation of becoming skilled in righteousness, the condition approved by GOD, possessing the virtues to respond or exercise righteous judgement in every experience and aspect of our lives. Biblical Principle | Knowing the good from the evil requires practicing of spiritual discernment led by the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 5:13-14 For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child. But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

Transforming Perspectives | Spiritual mindedness is a state of maturity and effective daily living for believers. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior connotes more than personal salvation encompassing a new spiritual life in Him. A seeker of the LORD asked, “How can a man be born again? Can he enter his mother’s womb twice? “ Jesus’ answer is the mystery of the new creation, the evidence of belief in Him, being born as a new spiritual man. Our new spiritual bodies and minds are transformed by faith by allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds by discarding carnal or fleshly old habits and thinking, conforming our ways and thoughts into righteousness and the authority of Jesus Christ being as citizens of the kingdom of GOD. Biblical Principles | Effective living as believers does not happen overnight. Becoming conformed in the image of Jesus Christ is maturing spiritually into spiritual mindedness. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Scripture References | Evidence of accepting Jesus the Christ - John chapter 3. Spiritual life in Jesus Christ - Romans chapter 8. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.

Transforming Perspectives | The ideology of Love originates and dwells in GOD. Thus, GOD’s Love passes all human comprehension being incomparable to human love and requiring God to reveal love to us, experientially. Humanity has adapted modern standards as parameters defining love premised on outward affections, emotional sensitivities and sexual interface, GOD’s Love is absolute in its unconditionality being unfeigned meaning never changes or is unaffected by our actions, responses, behaviours or beliefs. GOD’s Love for us was in the beginning and lasts forever because God’s Love for us is eternal and everlasting. GOD’s Love will deliver us from all fears, protecting us against hate being our shield enabling us to love, safeguarding us from the fear of consequences. Biblical Principles | GOD’s Love perfected in our hearts enabling us to share his Love in the world. 1 Peter 4:8 And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number: Scripture References | GOD’s Love given to us - John chapter 3.

Transforming Perspectives | Every person should obtain or have access to the Bible. The Bible is not only for Christians but for all mankind to understand God, his creation and his redemptive plan for humanity. The Bible was written and compiled by inspiration of God, meaning the Spirit of God breathed upon or made alive all of its contents. The Bible contains 66 books representing historical and future events of pertinent times impacting civilization and humanity. It records God’s visits or epiphanies whereby God reveals his holiness and his sovereignty to man. It is a chronicle of the Oracles of God which proclaim and decree through messengers, God’s grace of restorations, pleas for repentance and warnings of impending judgments. The Scriptures often referred as the Word of God or the Living Word, present biblical doctrine, provide instruction in Righteousness, correction for waywardness or faithlessness as well as re-proof for iniquities and injustices against one another. Biblical Principles | Pray before every Bible study and reading, asking the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Scripture’s meaning and intent. Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

Transforming Perspectives Being stablished in the LORD becomes evident by our response to sudden changes in our circumstances or unexpected world events. Apostle Paul writes to the believers in the region of Thessalonica encouraging them to remain sober when hearing about bad news or experiencing sudden adversity. The underlying premise of his letter was to redirect their focus. In doing so, he expresses for them to “be sober.” Contextual this phrase means for believers to remain calm and collected instead of overreacting to sudden adversity. The fundamentals of belief in Christianity is that the LORD Jesus Christ, came, died and is risen and will return again. Paul reminds believers that they have been translated in the marvelous light of the truth of God. He encourages them to watch, be alert or sober and to be ready, and not to be swayed or lulled by modern myths of nirvana or scoffers or wise tales. Rejoice because God is not slacked in his promise regarding the Return of the LORD. Biblical Principle Praying always being ready and stable in the truths of God and standing faithfully. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. Bible References Be sober remaining steadfast and alert - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5.

Transforming Perspective Biblical ideology of restoring or restoration expands beyond regaining health and material possessions, encompassing also the restoration of humanity. One aspect of God’s Grace is restoring humanity in the transformation of the condition of man’s image as a new creation. The premise is returning something taken, something given away, something lost from yielding to temptations or ignorance of the value of God’s blessings, a misstep or disobedience. Jesus exhorts, don’t loss heart, meaning remain encouraged, hold on to all that has been given because the world cannot take it away. God‘s Promise of restoration is established in his redemption of humanity. Man who was made in his likeness and became separated by sin now is restored reconciled to God in Jesus Christ. Believers become one in Christ and being like Him will appear as He is at his return, in full Glory. Biblical Principles God promises to restore and the remedy for restoration is repentance or turning back to God. 2 Corinthians 5:19 . . . that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Bible References God Promise to restore the children of Israel-Deuteronomy Chapter 30. Apostle Peter’s discourse fulfilling restoration on Pentecost-Acts Chapter 2 and 3.

Transforming Perspectives Human need, is to connect to our Creator, God who draws us by touching or speaking to our hearts. God designed the heart as a dichotomously functioning vital organ. Its every beat is paced with the flow of opening valves pumping life through the body’s veins. Biblically, the heart is the essence of our being and is the well spring of the soul. Often referred as the inner man connoting the seat of our emotions, conscience, and strength of our will and tenacity. Yet, its psyche-physiological pseudonym is defined in scripture as exceedingly wicked, who can know it? God purposes to give us new hearts in Jesus Christ who is the cure and deliverer for stony hearts, deceiving hearts, misbelieving hearts, proud hearts, and broken hearts. Biblical Principle Man‘s heart is the essence of his inner being and is designed to seek God its Creator and respond in acknowledgment to his drawing. Psalms 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Bible References An account of hardened or resistant heart - Exodus Chapter 10. Warning of a distant heart - Matthew Chapter 15.

Transforming Perspectives God calls believers to be spiritually attuned to hear and respond to his voice. Hearing does not require physical ears. The voice of God is heard spiritually and its efficacy is understanding in lessons learned through obedience. Hearing firstly entails God drawing men closer and means to stand at attention, to allow the words spoken to enter the perceptions of understanding and to harken his voice in mood, tone and intent of the words and react in obedience. Biblically, having hearing ears is not a onetime enactment instead is the spiritual efficacy of God’s spoken word embodied in continual acts of obedience and doing God’s Will in every circumstance. Biblical Principle Hearing the voice of God is preeminent to obedience and understanding. Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

God wants us to hear his messages to the Churches - Revelation Chapter 2. ____________________ LINKS, PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES | AUDIO EPISODES available - Podcast, Music and Radio Platforms.
