Fellow Believers, YOU (Believers) know what; I think it’s high time We (Believers) stop waiting in the shadows, and allowing “The World” to SILENCE Us (Believers).

Matthew 10:28

And do NOT fear those (Unbelievers) who KILL The (Believers) Body, but can NOT Kill The (Believers) SOUL.  But rather FEAR Him (GOD Almighty) who is able to DESTROY Both SOUL and BODY in HELL.

Romans 8:31b

If GOD (God Almighty) is for Us (Believers), who can be AGAINST Us (Believers)?

Ephesians 6:10-20

Finally, My Brethren (Believers), Be STRONG in The LORD (GOD Almighty) and in The Power of His (God Almighty’s) Might.  Put On The Whole Armor of GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to STAND AGAINST The Wiles of the devil.  For We (Believers) Do NOT Wrestle against flesh and blood, but AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The Darkness of This Age, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness in The Heavenly Places.  Therefore, Take Up The Whole Armor of GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to WITHSTAND in The Evil Day, and having done all, to Stand.  Stand therefore, having Girded Your (Believers) Waist with Truth, having Put On The Breastplate of Righteousness, and having Shod Your (Believers) Feet with The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace; Above All, Taking The Shield of Faith, with which YOU (Believers) Will Be Able To QUENCH, All the fiery darts of the wicked one (the devil).  And Take The Helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of GOD (GOD Almighty); Praying Always, with All Prayer and Supplication in The Spirit, Being WATCHFUL to This End, with All Perseverance and Supplication for All The Saints (Believers), and for me (Believers), that Utterance may be GIVEN to me (Believers), that I (Believers) may Open My (Believers) Mouth BOLDLY to Make KNOWN The Mystery of The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), for which I (Believers) am an Ambassador in Chains; that in it I (Believers) May Speak BOLDLY, as I (Believers) Ought to Speak.

1 Corinthians 5:1-8

For We (Believers) KNOW that if Our Earthly House (Our Natural Body), This Tent, is DESTROYED, We (Believers) have a Building (Our Spiritual Body) from GOD (GOD Almighty), a House (Our Spiritually Immortal Body) NOT made with hands, Eternal in The Heavens.  For in this We (Believers) groan, Earnestly Desiring to be Clothed with Our Habitation (Our Spiritually Immortal Body), which is FROM Heaven, if indeed, having been Clothed, We (Believers) shall NOT be found naked.  For We (Believers) who are in This Tent (Our Natural Body) groan, being burdened, NOT because We (Believers) want to be Unclothed, but Further Clothed, that Mortality may be Swallowed Up by Life (Everlasting Life).  Now He (GOD Almighty) who has Prepared Us (Believers) for This Very Thing is GOD (GOD Almighty), who also has Given Us (Believers) The Spirit (The Holy Spirit), as a GUARANTEE.  So We (Believers) are Always Confident, KNOWING, that while We (Believers) are at Home in The Body (Our Natural Body), We (Believers) are Absent from The Lord (Jesus Christ).  For We (Believers) Walk By FAITH, NOT by Sight.  We (Believers) are Confident, yes, Well Pleased rather, to be ABSENT from The Body (Our Natural Body) and to be PRESENT (Our Spiritually Immortal Body) With The Lord (Jesus Christ).

Fellow Believers, We (Believers) ARE Children of GOD Almighty, Brothers and Sisters, in Jesus Christ.  Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ABIDES within Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit.  Who do We (Believers) fear?  What do We (Believers) fear?  Why are We (Believers) Reluctant to STATE what We (Believers) BELIEVE?  Why are We (Believers) Reluctant to STAND STRONG?

We (Believers) KNOW, there is but One GOD, GOD Almighty!  We (Believers) KNOW, Jesus Christ IS The One and ONLY Son of God Almighty!  We (Believers) KNOW, Jesus Christ ABIDES within Each of Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit!  We (Believers) KNOW, The Holy Bible IS GOD Almighty’s Word (God Breathed, God Inspired), The Absolute TRUTH!  We (Believers) KNOW, Jesus Christ died upon The Cross (Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion), was buried in The Tomb, He (Jesus Christ) was RAISED from The Tomb, ALIVE (Jesus Christ’s Resurrection), on The Third Day, by GOD Almighty, Himself, and after Forty Days, He (Jesus Christ) Ascended on a Cloud into Heaven, ALIVE (Jesus Christ’s Ascension), and sat down at The Right Hand of GOD Almighty, where He (Jesus Christ) Resides, Today!

We (Believers) KNOW, in order to be in GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, We (Believers) MUST Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving Grace AND Accept GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation.

Therefore, with This Knowledge I will state CLEARLY, for The Record, there is but One GOD, GOD Almighty, that Jesus Christ IS The One and ONLY Son of GOD Almighty, that The Holy Bible IS The Word of GOD Almighty, and every single word in it, is The Absolute Truth, and finally, there is ONLY One Way, for ANYONE to be in GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, and that is ONLY through GOD Almighty’s ONLY Son, Jesus Christ, and ONLY by Accepting GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation!

I am neither ashamed nor afraid to Stand Here and Tell YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers), The Truth!  I wish to give YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers) KNOWLEDGE, it’s up to YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers), to Accept it OR Deny (Refuse) it.  That is Your Choice, but I will NOT let ANYONE try to SILENCE me, from Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ, because I am Jesus Christ’s LIGHT upon The World!  My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Abides within me, through The Holy Spirit, so I do NOT fear ANY Man.  NO Manmade Law can or will EVER Override GOD Almighty!

Acts 4:19-20

But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right, in The SIGHT of GOD (GOD Almighty), to LISTEN to YOU (Unbelievers), more than to GOD (GOD Almighty), YOU (Unbelievers) judge.  For We (Believers) cannot, but SPEAK, The Things which We (Believers) have SEEN and HEARD.”

I choose to STAND STRONG, I will SHOUT The Name of GOD Almighty!  I will SHOUT The Name of Jesus Christ!  I will DECLARE The Holy Bible IS The Word of GOD Almighty, and every single word, in it (The Holy Bible), IS The Absolute Truth!  I will DECLARE there is ONLY One Way to ENTER into GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, and that is through GOD Almighty’s One and ONLY Son, Jesus Christ!  I will DECLARE that when someone Acknowledges GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving Grace AND Accepts GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation, He or She (Believers) becomes a Child (Believers) of GOD Almighty, Forever, and He or She (Believers) will be in GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children of GOD Almighty (Fellow Believers), for Eternity, FOREVER.  Finally, I will DECLARE it is My Responsibility, as a Child of GOD Almighty, as Jesus Christ’s LIGHT upon The World, as a Fellow Believer, who wants EVERYONE to KNOW GOD Almighty’s and Jesus Christ’s Unconditional Love for All of Us (Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, and Unbelievers).
