Essential Traits for the Christian (2025)

God can use you despite your failures. Are you in prison because you committed some atrocity such as murder and you think God can’t forgive you? God can and does. Jesus Christ died for all our sins. He freed us from the penalty of sin. Sin leaves scars and sometimes more problems. The only way to handle the problem of sin is to use rebound. Name your sin to God the Father and He will forgive you every time. Satan wants you to wallow in guilt. Guilt is a sin. The biggest mistake in the guilt pit is you go back and dig up your past failures. Rebound removes the guilt. God wants you to rebound, advance spiritually and not look back. “Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13-14). Redeem the time - you only have so long to live.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/guilt-pit-6060a4

God’s peace is available to anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom 10:13). You can have peace with God because you are free of His judgment. Peace with God comes from accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior.  “My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled. Do not be afraid” (John 14:27-28). The peace of God and objective optimism come from staying filled with the Holy Spirit, learning God’s Word and having a relaxed mental attitude by using the faith-rest drill. There is no greater peace for a Christian than to know you are exactly in the middle of the will of God fulfilling His plan for your life. God wants you to be an Agent of His Peace. You can be an agent of peace by growing to spiritual maturity and being a messenger of God. “You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world” (Matt 5:13-14). “Go forth unto all the world preaching the gospel” (Mark 16:15).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/gods-peace-aaa5fb

Prolonged carnality will cause your heart (your mind) to be scarred over and become calloused and hardened. “Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart” (Eph 4:17-20). The Word of God can’t be learned and stored in your soul without the filling and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. To get rid of a hardened heart you have to use rebound (1 John 1:9) to handle sin and let the Word of God flow into your soul to wash out the pollution.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/hardened-hearts-b7f997

Your volition guards the gate of your soul, the mentality of your soul. If you want to be a spiritually mature believer, it requires a series of volitional decisions every day. You made the decision to believe in Christ. Now you must make the decision to handle personal sin as soon as it occurs using rebound (1 John 1:9). Then make the decision to consistently learn the Word of God and grow in grace and knowledge. You must be willing to stand boldly and proclaim Christ. “Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Pet 3:5). You must decide to keep your priorities straight and finish the race. “I fought a good fight, I finished the course, I kept the faith” (2 Tim 4:7). The final challenge is done—you have the strength to walk alone if you need to.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/key-volitional-6eabb8

If America is destroyed it will be our fault because we did not advance our spiritual lives. We did not do our part which is to grow to spiritual maturity and be a member of the pivot of our nation. What Americans are thinking in their souls, not who’s running the country, determines the course of our nation. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).  The blame is twofold: the failure of pastors to teach accurately the mechanics of salvation and the spiritual life and the failure of Christians to be the light and the salt of this nation. Mature believers preserve the nation through their invisible and historical impact and are light re-presenting Jesus Christ in a dark world. Will you do your part so God will deliver America? Will you be this person? “Lord, here am I, send me” (Is 6:8).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/will-america-8e61e7

You can’t afford to be trapped in Satan’s world, the cosmos diabolicus. The inevitable consequence of man getting involved in Satan’s cosmic system is chaos. Satan doesn’t have the power nor the ability to control the inhabitants of the earth. Man can’t solve problems using human solutions. Americans have turned away from God and to the cosmic system and this is one of the reasons America is being brought to her knees - national and political arrogance. “You have become estranged from Christ, you have fallen from God’s grace” (Gal 5:4). “Having faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and concerning faith have suffered shipwreck of their souls” (1 Tim 1:19).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/cosmos-diabolicus-88d0a8
