Believe and repent or repent and believe is one of the same kind. But I want you to take note of something important. A man may believe and yet still live in sin. Even the demons believe. Whatever we believe about God, it is likely demons also believe the same thing. They believe He is one, He came from heaven to earth to die for mankind, and resurrect so that all who believe in Him may have eternal life. And this is what I want to touch on.Tap on this link to have access to my books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Clement-Eastwood/author/B09X2X9VN4?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
"You are gods." This is a phrase used by many Christians today. If a person says to them, "you're not God or a god," they quickly point to the scriptures and say, "Jesus Christ himself said we are gods and I believe that." When they say a thing like this, you mostly run out of words, mainly because you're not familiar with the verse or have not studied diligently on this subject. In this episode, I'm going to be sharing with you what the scripture means when it says, "You are gods."Check out my book, The Church and Anxiety on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Church-Anxiety-Clement-Eastwood-ebook/dp/B0BNBJWV41/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2VF69ST2N3P9M&keywords=clement+eastwood&qid=1672472915&sprefix=cle%2Caps%2C2118&sr=8-3The Christian And Porn Addiction: From A Recovering Addict: https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Porn-Addiction-Recovering-Addict-ebook/dp/B0B2LKWBCB?ref_=ast_sto_dp If you cannot purchase the latter, please do well to send me an email via, eastwoodclement@gmail.com, and you will get it.

This is what it means to be born again, to “receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness through the one man Jesus Christ.”

What does it mean to accept Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour? Many times we have heard preachers speak about this subject and invite people to accept Jesus into their hearts. In this episode, I share with you a basic understanding of what it means to have Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
This is the last episode of the series; know your enemy. I doubt I covered everything, but this is also a good thing so you read the scriptures for yourself. Know who your enemy is and know who your God is! Know that nothing can separate you from God's love and kindness. He loves you! I bet there are much more resources on this subject. Know your enemy, know how he devices his plans and stand fast in Christ. You have won the victory because Christ Jesus has won the victory. Praise God!
It is a great thing to know our Saviour. It is delightful to know you have Christ in your corner! It is beautiful to know that He is for you, but do you know who your enemy is? This is going to be a 3 part "series" where I share with you who Satan is. In this first part, I'll be sharing with you who Satan is not. Grace to you, believer.
Today I share a sermon by an old English preacher; A.W Pink. We infamously know him as the author of these two books; The Attributes of God and The Sovereignty of God! Listen to a call to separation by A.W Pink.
What does it mean to fear God? Most professing Christians say they fear the Lord of Heaven and earth yet do not live like they do, maybe because they do not understand what it means to fear God. In this episode I explain, what it means to fear God that the child in primary school can understand. And when this is understood, wisdom becomes a daily bread. Grace to you, brethren.
This is an important question every Christian must ask him or herself. Did you say you love God? That love for God shall be tested.
We live in a time where there are many professing Christians but very few true Christians.
The church is filled with millions yet there is no church at all because we do not love God, we "love" Him because everything is going right in our lives.
In choosing your life or choosing Christ which will you choose?
This is where the real test of Christianity is.
Dying to self and living for Christ, forgetting all which is behind and pressing upwards toward the upward call in Christ Jesus.

Which God do you claim to believe? The One who parted the Red Sea or some other god in the bush?
Judgment is coming, all will be there, Each one receiving justly his due; Hide in the saving, sin-cleansing blood, “And I will pass, will pass over you.”
The gospel is to be shared to all; to them that harden their hearts and to them that are joyful to hear it. Whosoever believes in the gospel of Christ will be saved. Dear listener, there is hope and there is salvation to you, only if you will believe. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
