EXISTENCE, TRANSCENDENCE,                                                IMMANENCE, IMMUTABABILITY! 

                        By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for His name's sake.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord for ever," (Ps. 23; 1,2,3,6)

Some people think that the Lord has forsaken the earth, but that is NOT TRUE! He loves the earth which HE MADE with His own hands! The earth is the Lord;sand the fullness

Jesus Christ says: “Come unto Me all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11: 28); “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.” (Matt. 24: 35); 

“All power is given unto Me in Heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matt.28: 18, 20). 

                                 MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY!

The God of the Universe is my personal Saviour, Lord and Friend! He is my Advocate, Physician, and Counsellor. His Name means, ‘The God who saves, the God who heals, the God who protects and the God who delivers from all Evil’!

    

He is Yeshua ha Mashiach - the Salvation of God and King Messiah - Jesus the Christ of God! Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father! (Phil. 2: 10). 

He is nearer than the breath I breathe and the blood that flows through my veins, because He is in me and I am in Him and I am hid with Christ in God! (John 6: 48-63; 14:16-23; 15:7; 2 Cor.5:17)

 I am His doulos (gr. love slave) because He owns me, having purchased my eternal salvation at the cost of His own precious blood. And I will be eternally grateful to Him for His compassion, love and mercy toward me, a lost and condemned sinner afloat on the sea of life, filled only with plans for material wealth and worldly ambition!

In His great mercy, He waited for me to realize that I needed Him. It took a miracle to recruit me into His Army. When my father was instantly healed in his gall bladder through the Radio Ministry of Oral Roberts and baptized in the Holy Spirit a few days later, I saw for the first time in my life the reality of God working in people’s lives.  (1 John 1: 1-7)

NO LONGER ONLY A THEORY!

It was no longer only a theory, but Jesus Christ became a living reality whom I could no longer resist. By following Him, I was offered eternal life instead of having my own way which would end in eternal death! (1 John 5: 10-13)

                                         THREE IMPORTANT WORDS!                                                               By Pastor Max Solbkken, D.D.

Dear Friend in Jesus Christ,

There are three important words that apply  in every walk of life, but in this paper I use them exclusively for the Christian who is embarking on the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus.

In the great heart of God as He looks after His creation, He ends up saying, "All is well." He knows the end from the beginning and His great gift of Salvation for the human race is spreading according to plan and His amazing love to the lost is not  changing!

In the beginning when He created the heavens and the earth, the Bible states, "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold it was very good..." (Gen1:31). Without doubt, we all desire to see more souls saved, sick people healed and a revival of godly living across the world, but God keeps the books and He know who will be saved and who will not!

St. Paul warns: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by that heard Him; God also bearing them witness both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to  His own will?" (Heb.2: 3,4)

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same, that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the Devil; And deliver them who fear of death were all their lifet ime subject to bondage." (Heb. 2:14,15)

FOR GOD SO LOVED THAT HE GAVE?
