The Relationship
MICHELLE: I am deeply mindful of my responsibilities as a Christian and the importance of reflecting Christ’s love in my interactions with others. With God’s grace, I strive daily to live a life of moral integrity—in both thought and action. As James 4:8 reminds us, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” The closer I grow to Him, the stronger my desire becomes to live righteously and honor His will in all that I do.
MICHELLE: Ultimately, to each their own. The most important thing to remember is to turn away from sin and invite the Lord into every area of your life. Some Christians find fulfillment in attending church services, while others draw closer to God through daily Bible study. Some may feel spiritually renewed by visiting holy sites abroad, while others prefer to honor the Sabbath at home with loved ones. In the end, how you choose to spend your time with Jesus is a deeply personal choice—just be sure to include Him in every part of your life.
MICHELLE: I am deeply moved when the Lord Jesus Christ shows up in remarkable ways. I would like to share one such instance. A few years ago, someone at my workplace intentionally created a very challenging environment for me. After bringing the situation to the Lord in prayer, I was amazed to discover that, on one particular day, the individual was no longer at the workplace — she had been fired!
MICHELLE: When I first became a Christian, following the timing and will of Christ was challenging for me. To be honest, I often wrestled with the Lord during that period. Even now, one of the most difficult aspects of my spiritual journey is learning to wait. At times, it feels as though the Lord takes a long time to provide guidance or respond to my requests for direction.
MICHELLE: Since the Holy Spirit has revealed to me the true nature of humanity in a fallen world, I find it challenging to feel affinity toward others or even myself. Nevertheless, I am able to love people, as my heart is a reflection of God’s love.
MICHELLE: From a young age, I taught my daughter to communicate with God privately and to bring her concerns to Him in prayer. She has learned to honor God by caring for her body—through thoughtful choices in diet and dress—and to understand that respect and good manners are a reflection of her faith.
She selects her friends based on the moral character they exhibit and channels her artistic talents into creating works that glorify God. At home, she enjoys a variety of Christian workbooks, and we frequently participate in faith-based activities.
Above all, I am guiding her to place God at the center of her life, recognizing His presence in every aspect of it. God—and God alone—is taught to come first, before parents, grandparents, or even oneself.
The Church
MICHELLE: No one who practices faith can claim to be an expert on God. Believers grow and mature as they progress from one stage of spiritual understanding to another. That said, even when Christians may disagree on particular scriptural passages, they can still learn from one another. It is important to remember that the wisdom of the Holy Spirit surpasses that of any human (John 14:26; 1 John 2:27). As individuals begin reading and studying the Bible, they will discover that the Holy Spirit provides the insight and guidance they need, regardless of whether they attend church.
MICHELLE: A genuine Christian obeys the teachings of God (outlined in the Holy Bible), adheres to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and follows in Jesus’ footsteps. My denomination seeks to emulate the faith and practices of 1st-century Christianity, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts.
MICHELLE: The true Church is the body of Christ, made up of repentant and obedient believers. The most effective way to know God is by walking with Him in Spirit and Truth, as exemplified by David, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jacob, and the apostle Paul, among others.
For those who choose to attend a physical church, it’s essential to ensure that the congregation does not engage in practices such as selling merchandise—something Scripture warns against in 2 Peter 2:3 and Matthew 21:12–13. Likewise, avoid churches that promote the false doctrine of “once saved, always saved.”
MICHELLE: Completing my work in Christ (The King’s Dome), and loving as many people as possible along the way.
MICHELLE: No matter how devout a church leader appears to be, if they are not spending church funds for the sake of feeding the congregation, the needy, and widows, then they are liars and/or do not know God. Do not believe when a church leader states that the millions of dollars laid up in the bank is for the good of the people. With the amount of suffering in the world, why would a so-called woman/man of God have millions of dollars laid up in the bank except for their own selfish needs? The bible instructs leaders of the church to live a life of modesty, using a portion of tithes & offerings to support that lifestyle (Deuteronomy 18:1-4). In fact, leaders of the church are supposed to tithe themselves, (Numbers 18:26-28)
Friends, let’s be clear: Jesus would never turn the house of God into a marketplace (John 2:15–16; 2 Peter 2:3). His disciples never sold the Word of God for profit (Acts 20:33–34), nor did they use the Gospel to enrich themselves, as so many so-called faith leaders do today. Everything God gives us is freely given—revelation, wisdom, salvation, and above all, His only Son, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:12; Matthew 10:8).
So what gives the modern church the right to take what God provides without cost and sell it for gain?
Do not be deceived: the true Church of Jesus Christ is not a house of merchandise (John 2:15–16; 2 Peter 2:3).
Far too many televangelists have amassed vast fortunes by commercializing the faith—selling books, pins, DVDs, trinkets, apparel, mugs, and other branded items “in the name of Jesus.” They exploit the Gospel for profit while being celebrated by new or undiscerning believers.
My counsel is simple: if a church is selling what should be sacred, turn and walk the other way. Offer your tithes and gifts to a ministry led by Christ, not by greed. Scripture warns against those who confuse godliness with material gain (1 Timothy 6:5–10). Remember—our treasure is not found in this world, no matter what prosperity preachers claim (Matthew 6:19–21).
For those who remain faithful and obedient, your reward awaits—not in earthly riches, but in eternal glory (Revelation 22:12; 3:21; Matthew 16:27).
MICHELLE: Firstly, Christianity should be understood not as a religion, but as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, in which Christ reigns supreme. Secondly, while religious individuals often structure their lives around rules created by man or the dictates of a false conception of God, true Christians live in accordance with the Spirit and in truth, guided by the commandments of the one true God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Salvation & Sacrifices
MICHELLE: There are two distinct types of baptism recognized in Scripture:
1. Water Baptism
Water baptism is an outward symbol of a believer’s total trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and a public declaration of one’s commitment to live in obedience to Him. It is not an entrance into Christianity but rather an act of obedience, performed because Christ commanded it (Matthew 28:19).
Before baptism, one must first believe that we are sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:23). We must also believe that Christ died on the cross to atone for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose again on the third day. When we are immersed in the water—whether in a river, pool, or baptismal font—it symbolizes being buried with Christ. We are baptized into His death, dying to self and sin (Romans 6:3–7). Rising out of the water represents resurrection—being raised to new life in Christ and born into the family of God (Romans 8:16).
The truth that baptism itself does not save is clearly illustrated by the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39–43). Though he was never baptized in water, he confessed his sin, acknowledged Jesus as Lord, and received forgiveness and salvation. In that moment, he was spiritually baptized into Christ’s death and raised to life through the power of Christ’s word (Hebrews 1:3).
2. Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The baptism of the Holy Spirit, however, is essential for salvation. It is through this baptism that one becomes “born again”—baptized into the family of God by Christ Himself (Luke 3:16). After receiving the Holy Spirit, the believer begins a transformative journey from glory to glory, as Christ’s presence takes root within. During this process, God establishes His kingdom and His law in the believer’s heart, where Christ reigns as King—provided we allow Him the freedom to rule within us.
MICHELLE: The gift of salvation is freely given to humanity. As a result, we are unable to merit admission to heaven. The Holy Bible clearly states that everyone who rejects Christ will burn in hell (Revelation 21:8, Mark 16:16).
MICHELLE: Let me begin by saying that there are two kinds of Christians:
1. Repentant Christians — These are believers who humbly acknowledge their sins and sincerely seek God’s forgiveness. In response, God graciously fills them with His Spirit—the Holy Spirit—who strengthens, encourages, and guides them along the path of righteousness.
2. Unrepentant Christians — These individuals reject the call to righteousness, choosing instead to remain in a lifestyle of sin. Scripture clearly warns that those who refuse to repent will face eternal separation from God (Luke 13:3). Yet many continue to sin repeatedly, showing little to no remorse.
Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for repentant believers—those who turn from sin and strive to walk in His ways.
As followers of Christ, we must continually clothe ourselves in His righteousness, for none of us knows the day of our death or the hour of His return (Luke 12:40; Revelation 3:3). We must not take sin lightly. When we willingly engage in sin, we open the door for the enemy to bring harm into our lives.
The sobering truth is that unrepentant believers risk losing their salvation, for the forces of darkness eagerly await the opportunity to destroy those who persist in disobedience. Let us, therefore, remain steadfast, repentant, and clothed in the righteousness of Christ.
MICHELLE: The scriptures declare that Eternal Life is found in Paradise (Matthew 25:46, Luke 23:43) and that Christ Himself is Eternal Life (I John 1:2). Thus, without Christ, it is impossible to enter Paradise (John 10:9).
MICHELLE: Congratulations! You have made Christ the Lord the center of your life—a truly transformative decision. As you continue to walk with Him, you will begin to see the world through God’s eyes, growing from glory to glory as you remain steadfast in your faith.
Over time, your desires will begin to change. You may feel less drawn to the company of those who live in ways that do not honor God. Others will notice your transformation. Some may misunderstand, mock, or even speak against you—but remember, this is all part of the journey.
True followers of Christ are few, yet you will encounter them along the way. Stand firm in your faith, stay resilient, and keep your eyes on the eternal reward that awaits you.
“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” — Matthew 19:21
“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.” — Revelation 22:12
Jesus Christ & Father God
MICHELLE: That's a hard question because Jesus Christ is so many things. He's the Creator of everything seen and unseen, He's the essence of Life, He's the Savior of the world, He's King of Kings, He's the Prince of Peace, He's the Reconcilor between Yahweh and man, He's the head of Church, etc, etc, etc.
MICHELLE: The Bible is replete with convincing evidence. See for yourself the prophesies that have come to pass.

MICHELLE: Marriage, as established by God, is intended to be a union between a man and a woman. As Scripture states: “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Accordingly, sexual intimacy is meant to occur within the covenant of marriage.
Marriage provides a sacred context for sexual relations, in accordance with God’s design. Sexual activity outside of marriage is considered sinful and contrary to God’s will.
MICHELLE: The scripture tells us to focus our time and energy on God. God will faithfully provide for our necessities in exchange. A few years ago, as I was attempting to reduce weight, I had enlightenment here. When I changed my goal from being attractive and slender to growing healthier for God so that I would live long enough to complete the race in Christ, the weight fell off with ease. When we shift our focus from me and my needs to God and His will, we’re not thinking about apple pie and ice cream anymore. We gain self-control by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23), which will benefit us in many facets of daily life, not only weight loss.
MICHELLE: According to Matthew 22:14, the majority of Christians will not enter paradise. Among them are many church leaders. In Matthew 23:25, Jesus rebuked the religious elite for their hypocrisy, saying they appeared righteous outwardly but were inwardly filled with greed and excess.
We all desire good things in life — a home, a car, comfort — and God is not opposed to that. However, living in excess is considered sinful, no matter how much one gives away. Why? Because as long as poverty exists, indulgent living remains offensive to God.
All of humanity is one family to Him. We know this because everyone on earth shares in the consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin. Likewise, through the death and resurrection of one man, Jesus Christ, the gift of eternal life is offered to all (Romans 5:12–21). Humanity was designed for interdependence, to bear one another’s burdens. Therefore, anyone — Christian or not — who lives in selfish excess will die spiritually poor, without the true riches of Jesus Christ, and will not enter Heaven (Matthew 6:24; 19:21–24).
A true Christian is so filled with Christ that worldly wealth loses its value. Such a believer knows that to lose Jesus is to lose everything. We awake in Christ, live through Christ, and rest in Christ. We follow Him wholeheartedly.
True Christians strive to please God through wise choices, guided by Scripture and revelation. They may not be perfect, but their daily pursuit is perfect obedience. A true Christian surrenders completely, allowing God to direct and use their life as an instrument of His will on earth.
While doing good deeds is important, worldliness does not please God (Psalm 51:16–17; 1 John 2:15). When Jesus spoke of losing one’s life in Matthew 16:25, He was not referring to physical death but to the surrender of materialism and immorality. To inherit eternal life, believers must abandon all that belongs to the world — materialism, vanity, gossip, self-righteousness, sexual immorality, drunkenness, and evil thoughts (1 John 2:15–16).
Seven “S” Words That Define a True Christian
1. Sacrifice
You are not your own — you were bought with the blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19–20; Acts 20:28). True Christians continually sacrifice ungodliness in deed (Galatians 5:19–21), thought (Matthew 5:28), and speech (Matthew 15:11), with the help of the Holy Spirit.
2. Servitude
“The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45). A true Christian demonstrates love through service to others.
3. Selflessness
It is no longer about you (Luke 11; Romans 15:1–3). Many churchgoers, including some prominent leaders, live in luxury — but a true Christian embraces humility, seeking less of the world and more of Christ.
4. Surrender
Total surrender to the righteousness of Christ. With God, it is all or nothing (Mark 10:21–25). True surrender requires daily dedication to God’s will.
5. Self-Control
Control over one’s thoughts and actions (Proverbs 16:32; Romans 6:12). As believers submit to the Spirit, self-control naturally grows within them (Galatians 5:22–23).
6. Stillness
God dwells within the hearts of believers. True Christians learn to turn inward — to be still, to listen, and to yield to the Spirit of God (Jeremiah 31:33; Psalm 51:6).
7. Suffering
Once you dedicate your life to Christ, the enemy considers you a threat. Trials and persecution will follow, just as Christ suffered (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:12). Yet when life’s storms rage, those who genuinely love God endure — anchored by faith that never wavers.
MICHELLE: Hell is not a reflection of God’s lack of love, but rather a matter of justice and free will. When a person steals a loaf of bread out of thier own free will and is caught, that individual is judged and punished under human law—justice is served. In the same way, to die without Christ is to stand under the law of God (Galatians 3:13). The penalty for breaking God’s law is death (Romans 6:23; Exodus 21:17)—a sentence that extends beyond physical death into what Scripture calls the second death.
This second death occurs in hell—a place described as a spiritual prison (1 Peter 3:19). There, divine justice is carried out upon those who, by their own free will, have chosen to reject God’s law.
Yet there is hope. The only way to escape the second death is through the sinless One who redeemed us from the law’s curse and gave Himself for us (Galatians 1:4; Titus 2:14). Through Jesus Christ, justice is satisfied and mercy is freely given.
MICHELLE: A repentant heart coupled with faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. We refer to such individuals as Repentant Believers. These are the people whom God draws through the Holy Spirit, raises up, equips, and ultimately uses in His mission to advance truth and righteousness on earth.
MICHELLE: A relationship. As a species, humans are special because God made us in His image. It is undeniable that God created humans specifically for intimate relationship.
MICHELLE: Ecclesiastes 3:19 reminds us that humans and animals share much in common:
"For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity."
Those who engage in cruel practices—such as taxidermy, forced labor in entertainment facilities (e.g., SeaWorld or Marineland), dog fighting, or trophy hunting—demonstrate a heart inclined toward wickedness, and such actions are incompatible with the values of God’s kingdom. While God has entrusted animals to serve and assist us, this stewardship does not grant license to exploit, harm, or kill them for selfish purposes.
We can take comfort in the promise of a future where all creatures coexist in harmony, as envisioned in Isaiah 11:6‑9.
MICHELLE: God does not overlook sin simply because society does. Whether a man openly parades a mistress through town or a woman terminates her unborn child, Scripture makes clear that sin is sin in the sight of the Lord. As Acts 10:34 affirms, God shows no partiality between a men and women.
It is important to note that although Adam was created first, he held no inherent superiority over Eve. Authority over women was not established until after the Fall; the subordination of women was a consequence of disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:16).
MICHELLE: Sincere Christians dedicate their lives fully to Christ, surrendering all for Him and offering their entire existence in service to His will. Developing a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ—the one who created and gave His life for us—is the central and most fulfilling aspect of the Christian faith. This connection brings a profound and enduring sense of joy and satisfaction.
MICHELLE: The proof is overwhelming in the holy bible. Cross check the below bible verses keeping in mind that Christ is NOT God the Father. Christ is the Son of God as well as God the Son, the source of all life and a symbol of it. (John 1:1-3).
Genesis 1:1 “God created the heavens and the earth.” John 1:3 “All things were created by Him (The Christ) and without Him (The Christ) not anything made that was made.”
Mark 2:7 “…who can forgive sins but God only?” Mark 2:5 the Christ says, “son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”
John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” John 1:14 ” …the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”
Isaiah 63:16 “…thou, O Lord, art our Father, our Redeemer.” Titus 2:13-14 “The great God and our Savior Jesus Christ… gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity.
Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”
Genesis 18:25 Abraham says to God… “shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” John 5:22″The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.
Exodus 3:14 God says to Moses…”I AM THAT I AM… thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” John 8:58 Jesus says, ” …before Abraham was, I AM.”
Numerous other texts demonstrate that Christ and the Father are one. Here are two excellent examples that show how Christ and the Father are one. Picture God the Father as an organism. Out of the organism comes a cell named Jesus Christ. Even better, imagine God the Father as a single cell that split into two. One cell represents God, our Heavenly Father, the other cell represents our Creator and Savior Jesus Christ, before he became a man. Keep in mind that human being do not come directly from God the Father; Christ does. Instead, Christ made mankind in His Father’s likeness. There’s a difference.
MICHELLE: The Bible teaches that God can transform evil into good (Genesis 50:20). In this light, suffering becomes a divine instrument used by God to fulfill two significant purposes:
1. Spiritual Growth – As stated in 1 Peter 5:10, God uses suffering to shape us into the people we are meant to become. Through trials, we are refined, strengthened, and ultimately brought into a deeper understanding of God, ourselves, and the world around us.
2. The Sake of Others – We were not created to live solely for ourselves. Each of us exists as part of a greater divine plan. The challenges we face are not without purpose—they often serve to inspire, strengthen, or guide someone else’s spiritual journey. In this way, our struggles become a source of light and growth for others.
MICHELLE: The Bible affirms that God is all-powerful and infinitely wise. Even before the creation of humanity, God knew that mankind would grieve Him (Genesis 6:6), yet He still chose to create humans. This demonstrates that God’s love transcends His intellect and reveals that God is, at His very nature, love. His love persists even when it is undeserved; love is intrinsic to who God is. This truth is powerfully illustrated when God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die for a sinful people. I wouldn’t send my child into the world to die for decent people, never mind wicked people, would you? I didn’t think so.
MICHELLE: Anything or anyone that is worshipped may be regarded as a god. While there are many so-called gods, there is only one self-existent God who reigns over all creation, and His name is Jesus Christ. According to Scripture, Jesus Christ has been granted all authority by His Father (Matthew 11:27; John 3:35) and is the agent through whom all things were created (Colossians 1:16; John 1:3).
In summary, although Jesus Christ is God and Lord of all creation, He also has a Father, who is likewise to be acknowledged as God, since Jesus is one with His Father, Yahweh (John 14:28; John 8:18; John 10:30; Matthew 3:17). Furthermore, the Heavenly Father remains actively involved in human lives, just as His Son, Jesus Christ, is (John 5:17; John 15:1–5).
MICHELLE: To know the one true God, one must repent of their sins, embrace Jesus Christ through water baptism, and earnestly seek God’s Word with all their heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
MICHELLE: To God, color holds no significance; all humans are equal in His eyes. Humanity is divided into two groups: the Believers, who have devoted their lives to Christ, and the Non-Believers, who have not.
MICHELLE: Once, Israel was recognized as God’s chosen people (Deuteronomy 7:6-7). That, however, is no longer the case since the Coming of Jesus Christ. Please open your Bible to Jeremiah 3:8, which clearly declares that God separated from Israel, granting her “a certificate of divorcement.” Next, turn to Deuteronomy 18:15 and Mark 9:7, both of which affirm that Jesus Christ is the one chosen by God the Father. Finally, consider Galatians 3:27–28, which proclaims that all who follow Christ—whether Jew or Gentile—become united with Him and, in doing so, share in His status as God the Father’s chosen.
In conclusion, Jesus Christ, together with all who have devoted their lives to Him, are the chosen ones of God the Father.
MICHELLE: Given all that Jesus Christ has accomplished for humanity—dying in our place and reconciling us with the Father—believers need not be concerned with His outward appearance. I know of someone who had a near-death experience and reported encountering Jesus, who said that He appears to people in the way they envision Him, so they can recognize Him.
Personally, I once prayed earnestly to the Father for a face-to-face encounter with His Son. I told God that the appearance of Jesus did not matter to me. When He ultimately revealed Himself, He appeared wearing a white ankle-length gown, standing approximately 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall, with a slender build and shoulder-length dark brown hair. His dark brown, childlike eyes conveyed humility and gentleness.
His skin tone was neither white nor black, but an olive, light-brown shade, similar to Prince Muḥammad bin Salmān’s complexion. In my perception, the Lord has Middle Eastern facial features. Having always envisioned Jesus as white, I was initially surprised by His skin color—but ultimately, as noted, this detail is inconsequential.
I love the Lord Jesus Christ genuinely, not for His appearance, but for who He is and what He has accomplished for humanity.
MICHELLE: Those who consider themselves inherently good may be in denial or lack spiritual insight. Scripture teaches that humans have harbored sinful tendencies since their youth (Genesis 6:5). While many perform acts of kindness, none are truly “good” in the eyes of God. Only God Himself is inherently good (Mark 10:18).
Satan & Hell
MICHELLE: It is Satan who bears responsibility for much of the pain and suffering I’ve endured throughout my life. Were it not for the light of Christ now illuminating my path, I would still be stumbling in darkness — lost, and perhaps even gone from this world. When others wrong me, I remind myself who the real enemy is: the devil. I despise him — for robbing me of precious years, for sowing division among humankind, for oppressing the weak and deceiving the blind. As I rest, he seeks to invade even my dreams, stirring up images of lust and sin. Truly, he is the “prince of the power of the air,” the one who plants temptation in the hearts of men, cunningly disguising himself in every turn to lure us back into sin and away from God.
Satan knows that if we refuse God’s repeated invitations to repentance and salvation during our lifetime, we will die in our sins — spiritually dead, separated from God, and subject to His righteous judgment in hell. I have seen and felt the torment of demonic forces. Hell is not a myth — it is terrifyingly real, and it represents Satan’s will for humanity.
The knowledge that a crown, a mansion, and eternal life await the saints in heaven fills Satan with rage. He is consumed with envy toward Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In his jealousy and hatred, he takes out his vengeance upon us — God’s chosen. Because we were created in God’s image and are His treasured possession, Satan’s animosity extends to all people, even to those who deny or defy God.
MICHELLE: The devil will use anyone or anything, at any time, to lead us into sin against God. As the father of lies (John 8:44) and a master manipulator, he employs a variety of strategies to distract believers and draw them away from God. Consider the following areas where Satan commonly works, along with practical ways to resist him:
1. Friends and Family
When you choose to spend quality time alone with God, anticipate distractions: unexpected phone calls, visitors at your door, emails from long-unheard contacts, or unusual demands from loved ones.
Solution: Stay committed to your time with God. Personally, I only plug in my phone when expecting a call, and I do not admit uninvited visitors. Guard your spiritual time carefully and do not allow the enemy to disrupt your communion with God.
2. Your Mind and Soul
The devil is rightly called the “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Thoughts and dreams about worldly wealth, sexual immorality, consumerism, partying, or other earthly desires are influenced by dark spirits that surround us continuously. His goal is to shift your focus from God to the world. Remember: where the mind goes, the feet will follow.
Solution: Reflect daily on godly matters and meditate on Scripture (Romans 12:2). Cultivating a God-centered mindset strengthens your spiritual focus.
3. Your Senses
God created our senses — tongue, ears, eyes — for divine purposes. The mouth is meant for worship, praise, and truth, not lying, cursing, or gossip. Ears are meant to hear God’s word and to offer empathy, not to consume immoral music or listen to slander.
Solution: Exercise discernment in speech, music, and entertainment. Choose carefully what you allow into your mind and heart, and ensure your senses serve God’s purposes.
4. Sexual Temptation
Contrary to popular belief, masturbation is not a natural behavior but a form of sexual sin, which originates from the devil. Sexual temptation is one of the ways Satan seeks to lead believers away from God.
Solution: If married, remain faithful to your spouse. If unmarried, seek Christ’s strength to resist sexual sin and honor your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Commit to purity and rely on God for guidance and self-control.
MICHELLE: Walk in love with people, teach your children to love and honor God, serve the Lord Jesus with a whole heart by shunning evil.
MICHELLE: Demonic forces continually seek to influence, deceive, and harm individuals with the aim of undermining their spiritual well-being. These forces are said to gain influence over us when we repeatedly engage in sinful behavior.
MICHELLE: False theology and partial truths are leading people away from God and toward eternal separation from Him. We worship a holy God. The suffering Christ endured on the cross not only reveals the immense cost of sin but also demonstrates that God does not and cannot tolerate sin. The truth is clear: God detests sin.
Satan seeks to deceive us, making us believe that God will overlook the sins we cling to, or that “a little sin” is harmless. Do not be misled. In every form and circumstance, deliberate sin is never acceptable to God.
To avoid eternal separation and hell, one must genuinely repent and surrender fully to Christ. This is the only path to heaven, for as Scripture teaches, the way is narrow (Matthew 7:13‑14).
MICHELLE: The Bible teaches that hell was created for Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41) and describes it as a place of torment (Luke 16:23) and eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46).
Judgment and Punishment
Scripture makes clear that no human—past, present, or future—can fully obey God’s righteous law (Romans 3:19–20). For this reason, everyone who dies without Christ—the divine Lamb offered as a sacrifice to atone for our sins—will face judgment and retribution.
God’s Wrath and Redemption
Out of love, God sent His one and only Son into the world to die for our sins. Christ endured a horrific death on the cross so that all might have access to the gift of eternal life. To reject Christ is to reject this free gift, to assert one’s desire to live according to one’s own will rather than God’s. While humans are granted the freedom to choose their paths in life, rejecting Jesus Christ during one’s earthly existence carries eternal consequences. Those who refuse Him cannot expect rescue from the depths of hell after death.
I experienced God’s wrath personally when I rebelled. At that time, I despised my own life and cursed God. In response, He visited me in the Spirit. My room shook, the television flickered, and thunder and lightning seemed to fill the air. I realized in that moment the seriousness of my attitude and the holiness of God. Since then, my respect for God has grown immeasurably.
Learning and Repentance
Christ is Lord not because we declare Him so, but because God has established Him as Lord. Every person will one day bow at His feet and give an account. Even in hell, unsaved individuals will come to know the truth about Christ—though through suffering and torment. Philippians 2:10 states, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.”
Now is the time to repent and accept Jesus Christ into your life. The Father sent His Son so that we might know Him, love Him, and enter into eternal life (John 3:16–18). Christ is our Creator (John 1:1–3; Colossians 1:16), our Savior (John 4:42), and our source of all that we need (Philippians 4:19). To embrace Christ is to dedicate one’s life to Him and obey God’s commandments.
No matter how difficult life may seem, hell is far worse. Do not allow the devil to deceive you into believing that this life is all there is, that there is no hope, or that God does not love or care for you. These are lies. God is and always will be your source of support. In humility, turn to Him, confess your sins, and receive His grace—He is waiting.
MICHELLE: Yes. To God, evil thoughts and evil deeds are considered equivalent (Matthew 5:28). Philippians 4:8 provides guidance on where our thoughts should be focused.
MICHELLE: Those who are exempt from hell include individuals who have died on earth before reaching the age of accountability, such as young children. It is important to note, however, that teenagers are not considered children in the eyes of the Lord. Teenagers possess the ability to discern right from wrong and will be held accountable for their actions should they die in sin. For this reason, it is vital to teach children from an early age to obey God’s commandments and to love one another. Similarly, those who have never had the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ are not subject to damnation.
Some hold the view that Jewish individuals are spared from eternal judgment as long as they faithfully follow the Torah. The truth, however, is that Christ’s sacrifice was for all humanity (Hebrews 2:9), and His principles apply universally (Romans 5:15–19; Romans 1:16; Colossians 3:11). Like all people, Jewish individuals who do not repent and surrender to Christ will face judgment.
Miscellaneous
MICHELLE: This phrase is a great lie of the devil. Believers of faith are most certainly, from glory-to-glory, capable of overcoming sin, but not in their own strength. We need the power of the risen Christ within us to overcome this wicked world (Philippians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Revelation 3:21). REPENT, be in the world, but not of it, lest you perish (Luke 13:3). If you fall, get back up and keep pressing forward with God. God will never give up on you, don’t you dare give up on yourself.
MICHELLE: For example, if I were to claim that I am confident my car would get me to work even if I took the bus instead of driving, you likely wouldn’t believe me. Similarly, simply declaring oneself a follower of Jesus Christ is merely an assertion. It is through actions—such as obeying God’s commands—that such a statement is validated and transformed into genuine faith. In essence, faith is inherently action-oriented.
MICHELLE: A self-righteous person can be described as someone who believes they are an authority in every field and attempts to serve God according to their own principles rather than in accordance with Scripture.
MICHELLE: No “new” challenges albeit my flesh is an everyday challenge. You will discover that your flesh will become more prone to tantrums as you become closer to God in spirit. Imagine your flesh and spirit as opponents in a boxing match. The opponent with superior training will emerge triumphant.
MICHELLE: Mark 10:25 teaches that “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” This verse highlights the spiritual danger wealth can pose, as many individuals may prioritize money above all else. Scripture makes it clear that it is impossible to serve two masters (Luke 16:13), and reliance on wealth can inadvertently become idolatry.
To wealthy believers: in a world filled with suffering, there is no such thing as “doing enough.” Extravagant trips, luxury cars, opulent homes, and lavish parties do not please God. Every day, approximately 150,000 people die, and countless children suffer from hunger or lack of medicine. Those with the means have the power, resources, and responsibility to act. Do not allow wealth to dictate your eternal destiny. Without turning your life fully over to Christ and committing to generous giving (Matthew 19:21-23, Luke 6:24-25), even the beautiful and powerful risk eternal separation from God.
To believers of modest means: do not envy the wealthy. True Christian reward is measured not in earthly wealth but in heavenly treasure. Even a single precious gem in paradise far exceeds the combined wealth of all earthly billionaires. The eternal rewards awaiting faithful believers will surpass any temporal financial gain.
MICHELLE:
The Flesh / Body
The human body serves as a temporary vessel for the soul during our time on Earth and, in itself, does not possess life (John 6:63). One of Satan’s most persistent deceptions is convincing us to devote excessive time and energy to physical appearance or material possessions. Do not be misled. Outward appearance holds little significance in the eyes of God until the flesh is filled with His presence through the Holy Spirit and is actively used to fulfill His purposes on Earth.
The Soul
The soul is the central decision-making component of a human being; it is what defines individuality and shapes personal identity (Genesis 2:7). It is within the soul that God speaks through gentle guidance, prompting us to think, say, and act according to His will. At the same time, the soul is the battleground where Satan plants negative thoughts, desires, and fears, often manifesting in dreams. A daily spiritual struggle occurs within the soul, and it is essential to consciously reject harmful influences and take deliberate control over the thoughts and ideas we allow to take root in our minds.
The Spirit
After death, the soul finds its dwelling within the spirit body (1 Corinthians 15:44). The spirit retains five senses, similar to the physical body, enabling perception of taste, smell, hearing, sight, and touch even apart from flesh. The spirit embodies energy and intuition, such as the awareness of another’s feelings or intentions. For Christians, the spirit is where one becomes “born again” and experiences spiritual renewal. Just as the body requires nourishment, the spirit demands daily care and attention, perhaps even more so, to remain vibrant and aligned with God’s purposes.
MICHELLE: Politics consists of human-made laws designed to govern society. However, God calls humanity to follow His Son, Jesus Christ. True solutions to the world’s challenges are found in obedience to Christ and adherence to His teachings. By doing so, humanity can experience positive transformation and cultivate unconditional love for one another.
MICHELLE: Engaging in prayer, fellowship with fellow believers, worship and praise, and regular study of the Bible all awaken and strengthen the Holy Spirit within you, equipping and empowering you to face daily challenges and fulfill your God-given work.
MICHELLE: I asked the Lord what the Holy Spirit experiences when it is grieved, and God answered immediately. I grasped the sides of my head, feeling disoriented and dizzy in a way that is difficult to describe. In that moment, I felt completely lost—uncertain of who or where I was. It was as if I had literally lost my mind, the most intense and overwhelming feeling I have ever experienced. I cried out to God to remove the anguish, and after a few prolonged moments, He did.
Our ability to fulfill God’s purpose and live righteous lives is hindered when we grieve the Holy Spirit. This raises an important question: Is it possible for someone to face eternal consequences for grieving the Holy Spirit? Scripture offers insight—see Hebrews 10:29 and 1 Corinthians 3:16–17.
MICHELLE: In the words of Jesus Christ, “He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.” Hatred toward any individual, including those who identify as homosexual, is itself a sin. We are called to love one another. At the same time, Scripture teaches that certain behaviors, including homosexuality, are considered sinful (Romans 1:26-27). Like all people, those who engage in sin face a choice: to turn from sin and seek salvation, or to persist in it, with the ultimate consequences outlined in Scripture.
The Bible also clearly defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:22-24). Accordingly, Scripture does not recognize same-sex marriage.
I encourage all individuals—regardless of identity, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, or two-spirit—to carefully consider the teachings of Scripture regarding sin. According to biblical teaching, anyone who persists in unrepentant sin—Christian or otherwise—faces eternal consequences.
MICHELLE: No one is born with a predestined sexual orientation. Homosexuality is, in this view, a condition of the soul, shaped by personal feelings and choices. Just as humans can choose to love, they can also choose to harbor hatred.
It is inconsistent to suggest that God would create individuals with certain inclinations and simultaneously forbid acting on them. Those who struggle with homosexual desires, like anyone living contrary to God’s teachings, are called to turn from sin and devote themselves fully to Christ. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, believers receive the guidance and strength to discern God’s truth and resist fleshly temptations.
MICHELLE: As long as there is breath in your body, forgiveness is possible through the name of Jesus Christ. Once a person has passed away, however, there is no longer an opportunity for repentance—the chance for mercy ends with death. Scripture teaches that suicide is a form of self-murder, and murder is sin. The Bible clearly states that those who die in sin will face eternal separation from God (Mark 9:43; Revelation 21:8).
No suffering in this life compares to the anguish of hell. Whatever trials you are enduring, turn to God—He understands our struggles and offers strength and hope through them. In every moment of need, He remains faithful to provide and to comfort (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5). Seek Him earnestly, and you will find Him.
MICHELLE: Life on Earth can be viewed as a profound and serious journey. Ultimately, each of us will awaken to the eternal realm in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ and give an account of our lives (Romans 14:12). While all things in this life are temporary, those who follow God’s plan are eternally blessed (1 John 2:17). This underscores why placing one’s faith in worldly desires or fleshly pursuits is fundamentally misguided. Life is far more than what we see in the mirror each morning or what surrounds us; it is a calling to higher purpose.
There are two central reasons for our time on Earth:
1. Spiritual Growth – Heaven is a realm of spiritual essence, and spiritual growth is essential to prepare for it. The foundation of spiritual development is love. Therefore, learning to love one another is vital for our growth and transformation.
2. Fulfilling Our God-Given Purpose – Each person has a unique mission to accomplish during their time on Earth. A relationship with Jesus Christ guides us toward the tasks and purpose God has ordained for our lives.
MICHELLE: Fasting promotes spiritual growth, breaks yokes, and provides for a deeper understanding of the things of God and the suffering world. See Isaiah 58:6-11 for more info. The biblical definition of fasting is giving up all food and liquids, including water; however, in a society that values materialism, fasting on any one item will have advantages.
MICHELLE: Testimonies of near-death experiences (NDEs) that contradict the Scriptures should be approached with caution. For example, one NDE account involved a woman who concluded that hell was not real because of the positive experience she had on the other side. However, the Bible clearly affirms the existence of hell, and this truth is consistently upheld by prophets, disciples, and our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who warned people about its reality.
Similarly, another individual publicly claimed that the Bible was inaccurate based on their NDE. While there are minor translation discrepancies in some biblical texts and occasional misrepresentations by certain pastors, the Bible remains the inspired Word of God. As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
In conclusion, any belief that casts doubt on the Word of God or implies that Jesus Christ is somehow inferior to a personal NDE is based solely on individual opinion rather than objective truth. It is important to remember that without Jesus Christ, there is no heaven and no existence for humanity. Since everything in the universe was created through Him (John 1:1–5; Colossians 1:16–17), it follows that any so-called near-death experience cannot exist apart from Him.
MICHELLE: Numerous verified accounts from believers describe experiences of being carried in the spirit to heaven or hell, where human souls are present. These testimonies suggest that such realms are currently inhabited by human souls, indicating that judgment occurs shortly after a person departs from this life. For further insight, one may search YouTube for phrases such as “I died and went to heaven” or “I died and went to hell.”
Jesus stated in John 8:56, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” This verse implies that Abraham is presently alive and well in Heaven. Furthermore, Matthew 27:52–53 and Luke 23:42–43 demonstrate that after the soul departs the body, it immediately enters either paradise or hell.
Through prayer and study of Scripture, the following understanding has been revealed:
The flesh of man is a mortal body, designed specifically for earthly life, and serves as a dwelling place for the soul while on earth.
The spirit of man is an immortal body, designed for the spiritual realm, and serves as a dwelling place for the soul after death.
Flesh and spirit mirror each other, as both possess five senses and function as a body for the soul.
Earthly possessions remain with the earth, and when the physical body dies, it returns to the dust until the day of resurrection.
Spiritual realities belong to the spirit realm; upon leaving the physical body, the soul receives a spirit body and returns to God, who is spirit.
Because the soul and spirit of man are immortal, they cannot remain in the grave alongside the physical body; instead, they depart either immediately or shortly after physical death occurs.
MICHELLE: Following the end of our earthly lives, all of humanity’s thoughts, words, and deeds—both good and bad—will be evaluated. The judgment seat will be presided over by our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). There are two possible destinies after this judgment:
The Righteous (Led and Governed by Christ)
Those who have lived in accordance with God’s commands will be welcomed into paradise accompanied by their angels upon leaving their earthly bodies. Christ will honor and reward the righteous for their faithful deeds (Revelation 22:12).
As co-heirs of God’s kingdom (James 2:5; Romans 8:17), the blessings awaiting the righteous are abundant and everlasting. These may include, but are not limited to:
Crowns (James 1:12)
Mansions (John 14:2)
Authority (1 Corinthians 6:2)
Joy and peace (Hebrews 4:9)
White robes (Revelation 3:5)
The righteous will enter the Holy City of God, where an eternal life of fulfillment and communion with Him awaits.
The Unrighteous (Led by Self or the Devil)
Those who have lived in disobedience to God’s Word will face a very different reality. Upon death, they will be cast into the darkness and torment of hell. Any deeds performed on earth, however “good” they may have seemed, will be deemed meaningless and not acknowledged by Christ (Psalm 127:1; 1 Corinthians 15:58).
In anguish and regret, the unrepentant will plead for a second chance. Christ will remind them that the opportunity to repent was freely given during their lifetime and that it is now too late. There are no comforts or relief there—the suffering surpasses any pain experienced in earthly life.
It is important to remember that the devil himself is destined for hell (Revelation 20:2–3), yet he would never choose it voluntarily if another option were available. No human should choose it either.
The call is clear: give your life to Christ today. The Lord is waiting, His arms open wide, ready to welcome all who turn to Him.
MICHELLE: Never experimented with any hard drugs – never shared a bed with more than one person at a time – never hurt any kids. Anything else you could think of, I probably been there done that. I was a professional, well-rounded sinner who was miserable, depressed, confused and at times suicidal. But for the Grace of God, I wouldn’t be here.
MICHELLE: I have highs and lows. Nothing to complain about.
MICHELLE: Love God, love others, and love yourself. Place your faith in Jesus Christ and live according to the teachings of the Most High, as revealed in the Scriptures (The Holy Bible).
MICHELLE: The core team consists of three full-time members, including myself. From time to time, we engage specialized contractors to support various aspects of production. The actors featured in the series are AI generated performers.
