Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

Malachi 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and an offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.”

It is written in Deuteronomy 19:15 that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter shall be confirmed. And now today’s verse from Malachi confirms what the apostle Paul's letter to the believers in Philippi (as well as to us) also promised; that there is a time coming when at the name of Jesus every knee would bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord to the glory of God the Father. {Php.2:10-11}

That is every knee, every tongue—every! No exceptions! Not just the saints of God but also all of the Caesars of Rome, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Adolph Hitler, all of the rulers of the world, both modern and ancient. Every brilliant scientist who has failed to see God, the maker of heaven and earth, every astronomer who has or has not seen the glory of God declared by the heavens. Every politician who thought he or she was in charge. Every member or leader of regimes that have said that there is no God. You and I, every person who came into this world, will bow and acknowledge and praise Jesus!

We have been instructed to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith {Heb.12:2} in order to walk in the triumph that only our faith in God can bring along with a peace that passes all understanding. {Php.4:7}

Fixing our eyes on the news of the world on TV and radio, in newspapers and on the Internet will not, cannot accomplish that! Remember that the Word says it is Satan the god (very small 'g') of this world {2Cor.4:4} who holds power over this world for the moment. {1Jn.5:19} But Jesus said that we true believers are 'not of the world! {Jn.17:14} And, we are not subject to the world but to the Word. That is a stricter but far more blessed authority with a goal of leading us to the fullness of life!

Consider the fact that a Roman centurion who came to Jesus seeking healing for his servant said to the Lord that he was a man under authority and who had authority over many soldiers; and most importantly, he recognized Jesus’ authority. The Lord marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.” {Mat.8:10} Without faith it is impossible to please God as it is written {Heb.11:6} and our faith exalts God!

Jesus Himself totally submitted to the authority of His Father, even if it was unpleasant and came wearing worldly clothes. Consider well:

“Pilate therefore said to Him, 'You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?' Jesus answered, 'You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin.'” (John 19:10-11)

OUR GOD REIGNS IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH
