What Should a Christian be Doing?
What should a Christian be doing and what should a Church be teaching them to do?
If they believe Jesus is God and LORD of all, they should be promoting this viewpoint and demonstrating that it is true by expressing the authority Jesus has delegated to them as well as showing His character in all they do.
They will:
- Defend His name and Character
- Protect His Kingdom and its people from His enemy
- Attack the kingdom of his enemy and expand The Kingdom of Jesus by rescuing people from the enemy kingdom.
- Do His will in all they do.
Their love for Jesus, because of what He has done for them, will be their motivation.
If they Love people in the way Jesus loves them then, they will do all they can to help these people follow Jesus and avoid their going to hell.
They will teach people what Jesus has done for them, so they can appreciate his love for them.
They will teach these people how to enter into a correct relationship with Jesus and The Father (salvation), and how to live the life God requires of them (evangelism and Discipling).
If the church does not usually teach or do these things, or is not resting from doing these things, or they are not learning how to do these things, how can they say they are a follower of Jesus?
The final words of Jesus to those who would be His followers can be summarized as follows:
“All power (authority) in heaven and in ear has given to Me.
Go and teach all nations that I have risen,
Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you
And that you should preach repentance and remission of sins in My name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
He who believes in whom I AM and is baptized shall go to heaven to be with
me; but who believes not, shall go to hell.
These signs shall follow them who believe in whom I AM;
In My name shall they cast out devils;
They shall speak with new languages they do not know;
They shall take up snakes and not be hurt by them;
And if they drink any poison, it shall not hurt them;
They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
And remember, that I AM with you always, even until the world ends.”
Jesus also said that if we love him we would do these thing.
So:
Are you doing these things?
Teaching them to others?
Learning how to do them or,
resting from doing them?
When you face Jesus, what will you say to Him if you are not doing any of these
things?
Remember, those who teach, such as pastors, ministers and theologians will have the greater condemnation for not doing these things.

Neville Salvetti is a deliverance minister and can be contacted via
The Web Pages of Neville Salvetti and at: salvettina@bigpond.com if you desire deliverance or to know how to do it.
Neville have been told to preach three things:
♥ Deliverance ♥ How to Hear The Holy Spirit ♥ How to fight Satan
This is the need of the hour as it demonstrates The Kingdom of God, which is what attracts people to Jesus.
“When you face Jesus, what will you say to Him if you are not doing any of these things?”
Jesus clearly says that the Spirit of Truth shall lead one in to all truth.
If scripture alone could lead into all truth the Spirit is not needed, because most people can ‘read’.
He also says that His sheep hears His voice.
Therefore shall no one do anything that is not commanded (not heard in the spirit) by His Spirit because the same way a soldier does not runs around and shoots at everything he sees, the same way the beleiver shall (eagerly) seek and wait upon the Lord for to recieve the commandment that shall confirm that he walks in God’s and not in his own will.
Neither does a construction worker, just because he has read the building plan, take preconceptions about how to do and from that limited knowledge starts to build without waiting for the manager’s order.
If doing what man says one ‘must’ do puts one in a real dangerous risk that one will not hear:
“Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee, enter into the joy of thy lord Mat.25:21
One of the things the believers must learn to stand against the coming days is Satan’s words,
to them that they ‘should do SOMETHING’
because the bible “says so”.
Jesus gives a perfect example of the devil’s schemes when He is tempted by the devil who is using God’s own Word for to get Him to act.
But this also teaches us that it is not only the Word spoken that is important, but the spirit behind the words.
Therefore one must hear and not only read what God says.
